I bought an iPhone 5 from the Apple store with a new Sprint contract in Sept. 2012. I would like to know if I port my number to T-mobile and pay off my Early Termination fee with Sprint, will my iPhone 5 will be unlocked to use with T-mobile network?

As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

Videos in the iphoto library

Is there a way of sifting out the videos from the iPhoto library while in iMovie (10.0.3) apart from opening every event and then importing them into imovie? My iPhoto library is large at 20000+ but there are apparently 400 videos hidden in there I would quite like to be able to find without having to trawl through the whole library one image at a time. Any ideas?

Ah, think I have worked it out. Created and album in iphoto and called it videos. Then when to "photos" and searched for "movie". This appeared to find all the video files. Moved them all onto the new album. Then in imovie when looking in the iphoto library section one of the options is "albums" and there were all the videos ready to import. You would think that imovie would be able to automatically work out which were videos and which were still images, but this seems to work OK.

My CS4 PS no longer recognised the iPhoto library since a new video card was installes a few days ago. How do i fix this? I can drag and drop but then I can't use camera raw feature.Tks

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
hence why i have 3 now
hard to believe you cannot combine into one
oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
thanks

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...

I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

After updating to IOS 6.0.1 I cannot copy photos from the iPhoto library to the iPhone. The events appear correctly but the photo count in all the Events is 0

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

Will the new photos app and icloud photos library support all formats of pics and videos from my iphoto library?

I will be migrating my whole 200gb iPhoto library 9.5.1 mavericks over to Yosemite iPhoto 9.6.1 and then migrate to the new photos app and hopefully to the icloud.photos online. Does this all support all of my formats such as AVI videos in my iPhoto library. I don't want to lose those through migration.

I have this 31% issue too - when I attempt to update my iPhoto library to the new Photo app.
I have a few libraries - one on my mac, and two on a NAS. I access the NAS via wifi.
The mac based library did update, but the two network albums have yet to be successfully migrated over to Photo.
It's driving me insane!!!

Why doesn't iMovie 10.0.6 allow me to increase number of thumbnails for videos from my iphoto library?

In iMovie 10.0.6, it gives me a small thumbnail for an entire 10-minute video that is in my iPhoto library. I can't figure out how to make it show the lengthened version of thumbnails so that I can easily find and select the clip I want. Videos imported directly into iMovie provide this option, as they always have. But iPhoto videos do not.

It should run once (for a long time) but after that it should be quick. It sounds like there could be a permissions problem so that it cannot save the thumbnails file so it has to recreate it every time.
The first thing I would try would be to run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
There may be something else in the archives on this. I'll see if I can spot it.

HT1212 my screen is shattered and black. but the phone is on. im trying to extract photos and videos from the phone but it says i cannot access anything wothout putting the passcode in to unlock the phone. do you have any advice to help me get into it.

help

I don't think there's a solution for you.
However, consider this a learning experience: Use the free (and automatic) backup methods that Apple provides, such as iCloud & Photo Stream. Or, use the built in function of your computer to regular copy & save your photos & videos from your iPhone to your computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083

I want to record 25 or 30fps video from the webcam of my macbookpro. Quick time or iMovie create 14 to 20fps (variable fps) videos only.

Hi,
I wanted to record high frame rate videos (25 or 30) using my MBP. I tried photo booth, Quick time and iMovie, but they record movies in variable frame rates (14 to 20 fps) even if i save them in different formats. I cannot find any setting to change frame rate in these softwares.
Before going to buy a new webcam or software I wanted to make sure if frame rate is limited by the capacity of the HD webcam or the softwares itself in MBPs.
If it's the limitation of software, is there any 3rd party software/app that would help recored high frame rate movies with the MBP webcam itself?

HD Sony Video .m2ts. Can I import them into iMovie for editing?

Hi
I have all my video files stored on a hard disk. I am thinking of buying a new MAC and want to know if iMovies can import .m2ts HD video for editing and playback? I see from support section that its ok straight from the camera but what about my older videos located on the hard disk?
Thanks!

You need to save to the camera roll of the iPad, not the Movies app.
So you will need to save the videos to the iPad via the Photos Tab.
If you can see the video in the photos app then iMovie can see them.
If you can see the videos in the movies app then iMovie cannot (Movies is for copyright movies so iMovie does not look there).
There are a few threadson here that have the same question as yours.
You can have a look at them.

I have just had all my video converted to DVDs and now I would like to edit them...how do I import them into imovie?

Can somebody help me figure out how to import my home videos from a DVD into imovie?

That means 'reverse engineering them'!
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Why can't I select a video from my iPhoto library to send via email?

I send a lot of photos and used to send videos but now I can't select a video like I do a photo in the library. I have a newer hard drive and use OSX version 10.5.8 wihich I believe is Leopard. I've updated all that is available. Any suggestions?

Can you directly redowload it directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
