Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc. help!

I would like to offer you some additional hair, but I've pulled mine out as well. I have created a slideshow of my daughter's new house (a very nice place indeed) as a house-warming gift, took all the pix myself with a throw-away camera made into CD's, imported all of the photos, cropped and enhanced with Iaza online free photo editor, re-saved the new ones to a folder, imported the selected ones into iPhoto, had the best thematic photo printed in 8x10 format, bought the black DVD's, made the MPEG-4 movie as well as the suggested exportable to iPhone, created a folder with the slides, crafted a nice playlist in iTunes, merged it all in iPhoto, but cannot successfuly export it into iDVD. The technical documentation and writing for some of this stuff is sloppy and sometimes unintelligible. The instructional videos are incomplete. The One-on-One fellow was most helpful the other day and said Apple doesn't really have or support an functional DVD creation tool and suggested I choose one or another "app" at the "app store", but the reviews for the two major ones are shallow in depth and I haven't yet sprunf for the $20-$40 download so I can re-experience the difficult learning curve. The Macintoshs I once used were incredibly intuitive; the iMac requires some study. The slideshow I have is imperfect becauae it keeps reverting to custom slide-specific choices I have decided (several times) that I do not want, but it keeps slipping back into "Ken Burns" mode and some of the photos don't work in that mode because of their format. But I will settle for less-than-perfect if I can figure out the best way to export the MPEG-4 I have created into a Maxell DVD-R some time before my daughter's toddlers aged 4 and 2 get into kindergarten.

Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead? (The original source of your data) If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
Ciao.

I'm trying to play a song and itunes is repeatly asking me to authorize the account. I have authorized the account and it will not play one particular song. What should I do?

If just one song on an album is doing that, that suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I purchased a movie through iTunes and the movie gets stuck on the opening screen and will not play. Has anybody had this happen? And if so is there any solution?

Hey Christian,
I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
All the best,
David

My ipod classic has started making a mewing sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It will not play except when connected to my computer. I tried resyncing and that did not work. How do I fix this problem?

My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds. It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work. How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting? I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily. Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks. Karen in GA

Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

HT6114 I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8. When it tells me to close all applications, Safari will not close and I cannot proceed. What to do?

I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8. It tells me to close all open applications. However, Safari will not close and the installation cannot proceed. Any suggestions?

Either try to force quit Safari (press Command + Option + Escape keys and then choose force quit in the pop up window), or, you can also shut down the computer. Then boot up and open the app store application to download Mavericks - you don't need Safari for it.

Copied my iTunes music from my Windows 7 computer to my Windows 8 computer and my MP3 songs will not play on my Windows 8 computer?

How to get iTunes to play my MP3 files in Windows 8. They played in Windows7.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Import movie from iPhone gives "An unknown error has occurred while reading the video file. Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed. (1)

Tried previous suggestions about purging the Camera Raw Cache and I raised it to 20.0 GB.

Aperture, iMovie, and Image Capture have no problem with these files.

This is an iPhoto problem. It is, IMHO, one of the worst photo/video programs ever thought up by any company.
I suggest you find your original video files, which won't contain any edits and or adjustment you have made in iPhoto, and copy them to some other folder on your drive that you create and then import them to LR.
Usually iPhoto stores all original image and video files in a folder called Masters buried deep inside the iPhoto Photolibrary package folder. Which makes almost impossible for any normal computer user to get to.
Next time you are in the market for a new computer think long and hard before you drink the Apple Mac Cool-aid.

When trying to make purchase I am asked to improve apple security by setting up 3 questions. I have tried many times with out success. Apple always returns an error without identifying what the error is. Will not allow me to advance without setting up

Apple is requiring the establishment of 3 security question (increase online security), but coninuously gives an error without identifying the error. I am not allow to proceed or bypass and cannot use any apple store features.

Exactly when does this error occur? What is the exact wording?

ITunes imports songs from an audio CD, but will not play them. Why?

90% of my iTunes music library has come from importing old audio CDs into iTunes. I haven't imported any in a while, but I recently imported an audio album, iTunes recognized the artist and songs, imported into the library bu if I select one in iTunes for playing, it will not play.
The other song's in the library all still play fine so iTunes is working correctly. But the newly imported CD will not play. Seems very strange it recognizes the CD and imports it but will not play. No error, no message, no nothing. What gives?
Thanks.

I think the blue text means that Windows compressed the files when it did a disk cleanup or something. I might be wrong, because I haven't used that disk cleanup feautre in ages - it did things I didn't want it to do.
So google around and find out how to uncompress one, and see if it plays.
