I want to rename a bunch of files from an iPhone according to the time stamps. Two file types: jpg and mov. But only jpg files got their new name, mov files did not.

Hello and Welcome,
It is difficult to help you based on so little information.
Here are some of a few we need, at least :
Where are located the files you want to rename : pc, phone ?
What is the expression you are using ?
Do you select the "mov" files too ?
Is the "New name" column filled for all the files you want to rename ?
Can you give us examples of file names ?
etc. etc.
Try to give as much details as possible.
Regards.
I used "wizard" icon to build a expression for me: %Xdo, because most files were jpg. I just tried the adjacent all variables button and found video tag %Vn. I should play around with it a bit more before I post. Maybe there could be a universal date|time variable?
Thanks for the great software.
%Xdo is an Exif date/time information. It might be present only in images.
%Vn can be present in video tags only if the software that created the movie is intended to.
If you want an universal date/time you should use "%dm" which is the date/time associated to the image/video file itself. It is the one generally shown by the file manager.
It can be the same as the one when the image/video was taken but may have been changed during the transfer/copy process.
Sorry for my late reply.
