Dear community, what to do when iMovie does not automatically updates video from iPhoto. I've closed and reopen, restarted... still no good

Dear community, what to do when iMovie does not automatically updates video from my iPhoto. Usually it will automatically generate new content, but now it's stuck 3 days behind the latest new iPhoto entries... I've restarted all programs, restarted the computer... what else?

Ezy,
I'm not sure what recourse you really have. My expectation would be that Apple is on the hook to warranty your computer, but they only warrant the machine you've got.
The issue of exchange is fully in the hands of the dealer. If it were Apple, they would likely have had a longer return/exchange period (2 weeks is standard in the US, and I think they use the same timeframe internationally), and there have been some reports of people getting machines exchanged even if they were just outside the 2-week period.
However, with Apple dealers, I think they are a little more concerned about old inventory. Who knows what Apple does when you give them back a last-gen Macbook. They probably sell it at a markdown, but even marked down, they still get a profit (most likely). When an authorized reseller gets stuck with an old machine, they probably have to sell it at a loss. Thus, I would expect resellers to be more afraid of holding onto discontinued models.
That said, if they do a lot of business, they should appreciate the value of customer loyalty: it's usually better to lose money on one purchase than lose a customer (and all their future purchases). If you're a regular customer there, you could point out that disappointment could cause you to go to a competitor. That's playing a bit of hardball though.
However, there is maybe an upshot to all of this... The new 13" model did not get the quad-core CPU's.. And it lost its dedicated graphics adapter. I've seen a decent number of people complaining that the new 13" model is worse than the previous one (the one I'm assuming you've gotten). So it might not be such a bad thing after all.

  • Imovie is not showing my videos from iPhoto

    Hi, i have uploaded some videos from my iPhone to macbook in iPhoto. I want to edit them in iMovie but cannot find my videos in the library, but my pictures are there. The videos usually come up and i have the option to use whichever ones i want. Please can you help me. Thanking you in advance x

    After calling Apple (they were no help and I was disappointed) I kept searching in the Apple support community and found the answer. 
    To get iMovie '11 to show the iPhoto videos under the event library on the bottom left of iMovie, you simply have to empty your iPhoto trash.  Once the trash was emptied, I restarted iMovie and the problem was fixed after iMovie did a search and showed the thumbnails of the videos. 
    Again, this info came from another person on the support community.  Hope this helps someone else.

  • When ever i click a picture in photo booth it does not automatically update its content is this a bug or i don't know how to do it?

    when ever i click a picture in photo booth it does not automatically update its content is this a bug or i don't know how to do it?
    whenever you click a picture in photobooth you have to manually insert it one by one in iphoto
    i want to know is there any other option in iphoto which can do this type of thing(adding pictures automatically to iphoto )
    so that i do not have to do it manually

    Once you take the photo with Photo Booth, select the photo in the tray at the bottom and click on the iPhoto button just abouve and to the left:
         Click to view full size
    That will import the photo into iPhoto automatically.  But PB does not import any and all photo taken into iPhoto automatically.  That choice is left to the user.

    Thanks again. I tried channel 13 and it seemed to work better, with less dropouts (albeit not perfect) but sadly my slightly ageing laptop wouldn't recognise the network at all with the Hub set to that channel, so I had to switch it back to 11!
    Will try the factory reset at some point to see if that improves things.
    I have the same issue with my iPad when streaming videos...like the issue posted on ‎25-04-2014 18h36 by Steve.
    Steve - Can you kinldy clarify how you resolved the problem finally.
    I was infact planning to change the iPad or sell it off due to this recurring problem.
    Thanks and regards

  • My iMovie won't upload my videos from iPhoto or even from my desktop, how do I fix this?

    I need to do some editing on my short movie for an A.P. Literature final that is due tomorrow. I took the video using my iPhone and then uploaded them to iPhoto. When I went to upload my videos from iPhoto to iMovie it wouldn't work. I tried moving all of the videos to my desktop, but that still didn't work. How do I make it work?! Please, I would very much appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem tonight.

    This is a forum for the MacBook Pro hardware.  I would suggest taking your question to the iMovie forum where you will get faster, and better, service. 

  • HT1414 My iPad does not automatically update the operating system.  Under the general tab in settings there should be Updates, but there isn't.  Advice plz?

    My iPad does not automatically update the operating system.how can I accomplish this?

    Your post says you are on iOS 4.3.2.  You need to be at least at iOS 5 to have a "Software Update" capability on your iPad.  Right now, you need to update your iPad using iTunes on your computer.
    Plug your iPad into iTunes (current version: 11.0.4).  Let it sync.  Then choose "Check for Updates" from the iPad's summary page in iTunes.

    Hi lesliefromvt,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question or configuration. If you are looking to automatically transfer or sync your photos between your devices, you may find the following information about iCloud Photo Library helpful:

  • My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
    Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
    Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
    Is the TC new? If old how old?
    If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
    Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only.
    Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
    Tell us how that goes.

  • Mail does not automatically update on Mavericks 10.9.1

    My Mac Mail does not automatically download after the Mavericks 10.9.1 update on December 16th. I have set preferences to download automatically. It worked fine until recently but now i have to click get mail option to receive emails. It is true for all my accounts (Exchange, Google IMAP, Yahoo IMAP and iCloud IMAP).
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • How does one email a video from iPhoto

    how does one email a video from iPhoto

    One doesn't.
    Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
    Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays.  That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
    Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
    Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind  to Original.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Other than that your options include:
    Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentioned, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
    Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

  • QuickTime does not automatically open video clips when double clicked

    Quicktime does not open video clips in iPhoto when the video clips are double clicked (nothing happens). Quicktime will open the video clip if I open quicktime
    and ask it to open the video clip. Regular photos will expand as they should when they are double clicked.

    It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.
    Anyways, thanks Sabian,

  • Ipad Calendar day view does not automatically updated to Today

    I have just got my Ipad4 and I am having problem with my Calendar app. I like to have my calendar app open in Day view. However, the Day view show the date that the last time I open the calendar app. So if the last time I look at my calendar is on 12/20 and the next day 12/21 I open calendar it still show 12/20. However when I go to Month view, it correctly show Today as 12/21. Going from Month View to Day view does not change the Day view to today until I hit Today button. Is this the correct behavior?

    Can anyone tell me whether the behaviour that I described in my first post is what everyone experiencing? Do I miss some setting to make the calendar app update the day view to current date everytime I open it?

  • IMovie 10 can't import video from iphoto/aperture

    In iMovie 10.0.2 I can see thumbnails of videos (static single thumbnail, they don't scroll)  in the iPhoto and Aperture libraries listed in the top left corner of the "LIBRARIES" section. But I can't drag the videos into to the timeline or a project. Photos can be dragged into timeline or project. I can drag videos successfully from the finder.
    My iphoto and Aperture libraries are referenced as opposed to internal. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
    The instructions on this support page simply do not work.

    I had the same problem.
    Mac Mini running OS X 10.9.4
    Using iMovie 10.0.5
    Canon ZR85 digital video camera.
    I bought a fancy Firewire 400 to 800 cable (mini) and hooked it up.
    iMovie can see and hear the video/audio. I click import and it opens the import window.
    I see a message that says can not control the camera but it looks like it is recording.
    I stop import and close the window---no file created.
    I just read the above post by John M. and tried QuickTime player.
    It sees the same video and lets me record it--just as I wanted to.
    Finally I can convert all these VHS videos !
    What is up with iMovie? Why can it see the video and hear the audio but still won't let me import or record it?
    Thanks John for the idea. I was about to give up.
