I can't import and view videos from a camera.

I can't import and view videos from a camera.  Even if I open the file and copy the .avi files onto the hard drive.  I have tried iMovie, Quicktime, and Flip player.  Flip player will open it but I only get the audio,  Quicktime freezes, and iPhoto tries to automatically import only to then error saying the files are not compatible.

Hello Hese,
try the following:
1. delete preferences (com.apple.iMovie.plist) and empty the trash
2. repair disc permissions with Disc Utility and reboot your mac
3. use Diskwarrior or MacJanitor for disc clean-up
4. disconnect any other firewire devices
5. take off any non-system desktop pictures
If nothing else helps, you might want to consider resetting your Firewire port(s)

  • How can i import songs or videos from my iPod to my computer?

    How can i import songs or videos from my iPod to my computer?
    iTune doesn't seem to be able to get this done...

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. They will all transfer songs but if I recall, only iPodCopy also does videos.

    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

    Iphone 4s - How can I import photos or videos from a PC

    You can't, natively with the iPhone. The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To do what you want requires third-party software, like this:

  • Can I import and view from a camara

    I was reading on the new that there are a few ways to import pictures from my Canon G5 camera. The two most common are the Belkin compact flash reader, or the apple iPod camera connector (I think it is called). the thing that plugs into the ipod and the camera plugs in through the USB plug. Is there anyway to import and view the pictures in the field from the Canon G5, or do I just import them as data and have to go through the computer later. This would be on a 5G iPod. Has anyone had success doing this in the field yet.

    Am a new iPod owner myself, but as I understand it, you can view thumbnails or iPod screen size renderings of the photos loaded into the unit. Suspect the functionality will depend on why you need to look at them and the level of detail required for your field work.

  • How to control and display video from IP camera using ActiveX control over Internet.

    Hello,
    I need to control my IP cameras over the internet. I need to log into the cameras and then display the video.  There's an ActiveX control registered on the computer and works fine with IE to access and control the cameras. Controlling the cameras using IE works fairly well, but there are some quirks that I'd like to eliminate by using my own custom code.
    Has anyone created a vi that controls a Foscam FI8905W over the Internet? I’ve attempted, but I keep getting a catastrophic failure when I try to call ManagementConnect Method in the DVM_IPCam2 ActiveX Control Module V1.0. I'm not sure whether I need to establish an IP connection with the cameras first, or allow the ActiveX control to establish it for me.
    Some example code would be greatly appreciated. Running LabVIEW 2011 on a Win7 32bit.  Even some code used to control a similar device using ActiveX over Internet would be helpful.

    I have an example vi for interfacing to the foscam activex.
    I plan on using mouse click events within the activex window to trigger the PT function.
    I only have the basic up/down/right/left directions and not the down-right/down-left/up-right/up-left in the enum.  You can load the camera's web page and view the source to see the Java script code that uses the activex control.  There are definitions for the other directions.
    I had to mark the control as "Disabled" to keep click events from going to the activex control.  If I double click the control, it goes full screen.  If I then click on it to get out of full screen mode the video never returns or returns to the wrong spot in the VI.

  • Importing and editing video from DSLRs onto iPad 2

    Hi,
    I'm reading that it's not possible to import video direct from a DSLR (Nikon D7000 or Olympus Pen, for example) onto the iPad 2, and edit, then export.
    Is this the case?
    I'd like to be able to work remotely, taking stills and video (with audio) that I can then edit on the iPad and upload.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers!

  • How can I find and delete videos from iPhoto?

    When I use iMovie to create a video for You Tube the program loads every bit of video I have in iPhoto.  I have attempted to delete all of the old, unused, videos but they do not all appear in the library list.  I have several videos that come up in iMpovie that I can't find in iPhoto.  Thanks for your help.
    Stu

    Use the serach feature at the bottom of iPhoto and enter "movie".  All  movie files imported into iPhoto are automatically given a keyword, movie.
    Or you can create a smart album with the following criteria:  Keyword is movie.  Select all the movie files and use the key combination Option+Command+Delete to move the files to the iPhoto Trash Bion.  Then empty the iPhoto trash bin and the Trash bin in the Dock..

  • Importing and Using Video from Sony DVD Camcorders

    I have a Sony DVD Camcorder (DCR-DVD 92) and I have recently shot a lot of footage which is now on my computer. The file extensions are .BUP, .IFO, and .VOB. I am able to import some of the files into final cut but they are shortened to only a few seconds each when in reality, they were shot for several minutes. Is there a way to make these work or to convert the files so they can be edited in Final Cut Pro 5?

    You should find that GreatVideo! v1.7 for Mac OS X - 10.4', by Software Architects, Inc., solves your problem. Converts from Sony to Mac readable format.

  • How come I can't share and export videos from iMovie anymore?

    ?

    My operating system is windows 8 and the reader version is adobe reader XI.
    The documents are scanned images. But I thought I could highlight and
    comment on other scanned images. Maybe they have different settings?

  • Can't Import large .avi file from digital camera into iPhoto 08

    I have a digital camera with a 4GB SD card. I was shooting video and have several small .avi files on the card and one large .avi file (2.67 GB) on the same card. I did not have a problem importing the small files. iPhoto hung while trying to import the large file. I read in this forum that I should use Image Capture, which I tried. When I used Image Capture on the smaller files (just to see how it worked), my camera would flash while it was transferring. When I tried Image Capture on the large file, the camera did not flash and after about 20 minutes, there didn't seem to be anything going on with the transfer. I also tried an old card reader through Image Capture, and that didn't work either. Should Image Capture be able to handle this size file? Do you know of any way to break up the large file into smaller files on the SD card? What am I missing? Thanks!

    Canon's cameras do not mount on the Desktop. It's a 'feature' of the brand.
    There are several possibilities for Image Capture - including minor directory damage on the card etc. The only solution is get the card to mount, and that means a recent Card Reader.

  • Can't import photos to iPhoto from Lumix camera.

    I just purchase a Panasonic Lumix Camera DMC-ZS20 and am trying to import my photos to iPhoto, but as soon as it starts preparing to import, iPhoto crashes. Do I need some special software or do I have some setting wrong?

    What version of iPhoto are you running? 9.3 is the latest version and here is a link to upgrade to that version.
    If you're running 9.3 and still crashing, I would suggest taking your question over to the iPhoto forum. We're just MacBook Pro users here and the real iPhoto experts (and I don't claim to be one!) hang out there.
    Good luck,

  • HT2479 My Macbook Pro is not letting me import videos from my camera or usb to work on iMovie. How can I fix this?

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro because I like working with imovie. The first day that I started working on imovie, I imported some videos from my camera to the computer with no problem. But after I closed imovie and started working on that same project the very next day, the videos were not saved. The editing and music of my videos were saved but the videos wouldn't show. So, I tried to import my videos again and the computer did not let me. I turned off the computer and after a week I tried to import other videos and when I press the import button, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this? I have version Ox 10.9

    What happens when you try to download the new iPhoto and iMovie?  Do you get any message and if so what is it?  What do you mean by "theft of my iPhoto or iMovie"? Who do you think stole them?
    One trick to try is to move the iPhoto and iMovie apps to the Trash in the Dock but don't empty as yet.  Then go to the App Store and try to download the apps again.
