IMovie 8.0.6 will no longer import .mov or .dv files

Trying to troubleshoot my wife's iMovie (2008 MacBook, OS 10.5.8) issues:
-no longer imports .mov or .dv files (worked up until a week ago or so)
-in testing, my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.3) imports said files without issues
-we've deleted apple.com.iMovie08.plist file from MB, no change
Import process looks on MB like it is going to work, but import 'barometer' shows only briefly before disappearing, with no import resulting. Troubleshooting is made more frustrating given that this worked previously on this machine. Perhaps a system update or something similar is the cause?
Any help welcome...
Cheers,
Andrew

forgot to mention above that MB in question will import short .m4v files without drama. Files we are attempting to import as .dv or .mov files are about 20Gb.
cheers,
A

Just installed Red Giant Trapcode Suite, now AE CC will no longer import or recognize jpeg files?

Have tried trashing AE Preferences, deleting Media Caches, etc to no avail. Also get red outline or screens on AE Start Up or Quit?
Anyone else experienced anything like this??
Installed on Mac Pro 4.1 running OSX 10.9.5, 36GB RAM, Nvdia Quaddro FX 4800.

In fact all prior projects that utilized a jpeg or png for an Environment Map, background, composited layer, etc., etc. have all links broken and will not reload or replace footage already in projects.
Trapcode Suite 12 downloaded from Red Giant for CC and installed properly.

Itunes will no longer import new tunes

i'm using itunes 7.6.2 on an imac running 10.5.2. i've been experiencing a lot of the same problems i've been reading about on here (discs disappear from the finder, cds no longer eject, etc...) but i've been importing new tunes with no trouble at all... until now.
all of a sudden itunes will no longer import anything whether i use file/import or drag and drop. when i use drag and drop the file appears on the playlist in grey for a second and then vanishes. otherwise itunes is playing tracks in my 17,500+ file library with no problem.
anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

Hi
I have a similar problem with importing CD's in iTunes 7.6.2 (9) on 10.5.2. If I have iTunes open and insert a CD then the audio disc mounts on the desktop fine but the second that the disc is recognized in iTunes, the mount on the desktop disappears. No matter if I chose yes or no in the import window the disc also dismounts from within iTunes and the disc is just regarded as having disappeared all together. If I then eject and reinsert the disc everything runs smoothly ... and it is like this every time. I have to insert the disc twice for it to work
If instead I exit iTunes and the insert the disc then there is no problem what so ever. iTunes starts up automatically and I can press the import button to import flawlessly.
Odd behavior if you ask me ...

Iphoto 09' will no longer import the photos from my ipad

Hi,
I have iphoto 09' and it will no longer import photos from my ipad. The ipad is 2nd gen and run ios 7 (it is updated as of Dec. 13'). It says it does not support jpg. files, though it always has before. I have tried using image capture as well as preview, neither works. Image capture and preview say something about an image capture error -9129 or something. I have also tried to bypass completely by copying and drag/dropping onto a USB key and into a desktop folder. Neither of these work either. I have aslo tried using a new library in iphoto and it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks and cheers, Dori

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
Happy New Year

IPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras.

iPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras after importing photos from my iTouch.

Does the camera mount to the desktop so you can look to see what is there? Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder) to import the photos? Have you tried unchecking hide previously imported to see what that shows? Do you have a USB card reader to try? When did you last reformat your memory card?
If you can get the photo off the card using any method do so and tehn use yoru camera's format command to reformat the card

HT4352 My apple tv will no longer load movies.

My apple tv will no longer load movies that I have in iTunes. It shows them in the menu, but when I click on them I just get the spinning wheel. Music works fine. Every thing worked fine the day before.

Power cycle the ATV.
Close and relaunch iTunes on the computer or simply reboot the computer.

IMovie 09 will no longer import Hitachi DVD Cam video

Before SL install, iM would import an Apple non-supported Hitachi DVD camera...the camera is visible on the USB port but not in iM....reinstalled iM, did the usual trouble shooting tips in iM help and iM support...such as turned the cam off and on, restart the laptop, reinsert USB cables, did a disk verify and repair permissions utility...did these many times...only on 1 occasion did the computer recognize the video and it imported it fine...another crazy thing is that the time of video capture is different from the the cam disk to iM - that may be due to the unsupported nature of the cam....
any ideas??

If 2 computers do not detect the camera then the issue is not the computer / iMovie.
Potential issues:
1.) The mode the camera is in. Make sure it is configured for PC Connect or Mass Storage mode. Check your manual to determine what the required mode is for your camera.
2.) The cable you are using between camera and computer is bad.
3.) Physical failure in the camera itself.
Try plugging the camera directly into the computer using USB (no hubs) while running on AC power and cycle through the various connection modes. See if the camera mounts on the desktop (as I assume it does normally).
If it fails to mount on either computer I would call Sony so they can verify the camera is in fact functional and even ask them what mode you need to be in for the computer to recognize it.

My iMac will no longer import .jpg files. With either iPhoto or image capture

Can someone tell me why iPhoto and Image Capture say that .jpg is no longer a supported format. I've imported hundreds of photos from my camera before and now I can't. I noticed this after I had placed the SD card in my Panasonic Viera TV to view the photos. Is it possible that the TV screwed up the formating on the SD card? I'm still able to view them on the camera, but unable to import them.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem does not repeat itself in the test library then your current library is the culprit.
If that's the case try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Itunes will no longer import

My itunes has suddenly decided not to let me import anymore. I have tried multiple CD's. It will start importing, get through one or two songs and freeze up the whole computer so I have to cold start it. It does this when i load songs to my folders through Media Player and try to import them from my hard drive as well.
I have been able to play all the CD's through Windows Media Player just fine. I have unloaded and reloaded itunes. My quick time is up to date. I have turned off all firewalls in an effort to correct the issue. I am at a dead end. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have had the same exact problem. I'm using Vista, however. When I try to add a folder full of music to itunes using the "Add Folder to Playlist" option, nothing actually happens. It looks like it's working, but nothing ever gets trasferred to my itunes folder.
There seems to be no info on the itunes site about this. Help!

IPhoto 08 will no longer import any photos/videos from my digital camera?!?

It seems as though after the most recent Snow Leopard update (10.6.4), I can no longer upload any photos to iPhoto on my imac. It seems as though this is a fairly common problem, and I'm wondering if anyone has been able to resolve it? I am honestly afraid to download any further updates from apple - every time something gets updated....something gets broken. I wish I was exaggerating here...since the initial upgrade to Snow Leopard, after every upgrade/update, major problems have shown up on my once-faithful Imac. Wireless networking, printing, third party software...and now iphoto.

Same here! During the last software update 7/23, I watched the update process and saw "removing files" as one of the last procedures. Did not realize until later that ALL of iLife '08 had been totally removed. A genius at the store told me that Snow Leopard won't work with iLife '08 and yet it was working fine until last Friday. Now instead of loading multiple photos to my MacBook Pro, iPhone will only allow one photo to be emailed or attached to a contact. They told me at the store I can use Image Capture instead, but that doesn't give me the thumbnail photos. Really dastardly update. Any suggestions except to purchase iLife '09?

.cil files will no longer import to clip gallery

I have always been able to download MS clip art, change the extension to .cil and it would load into my clip gallery with no problem. Suddenly, it has stopped doing so. I've clicked on the files, tried the import screen, etc., and it appears that it's making motions like it will appear in the gallery, but nothing is there. Any ideas? I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and my updates are current (could this be a bug in a recent update?)

Elements 9 will no longer import from my scanner (Epson Stylus SX438W). I get the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 quite unexpectedly".

May not be connected but I recently upgraded to Mavericks (OS X 10.9.4) on my iMac. I've checked cables (USB) and all seems ok. My iMac will also still print to this all-in-one printer so connections seem ok. I've also noticed that if I try to launch "Epson Scan" I get the message "You can't use this version of the application Epson Scan with this version of OS x - my version of Epson Scan = 3.7.8f0. Any help please?

Thanks for your suggestion. I checked the Epson web site and also their technical help, they gave me their latest driver (which didn't work) but also said there were some issues with Apple's Mavericks (OS X 10.9.4) and said I should get back to Apple. Not sure were this leaves me with Adobe Elements though - perhaps I should reinstall? Thanks again for your suggestion.

Help! My iPhoto will no longer import photos from my iPhone.

I have an iPhone 5, and my computer recognizes that the device is present, but does not upload the photos and I cannot click on the "import photos" button. Sugestions?

Using Image Capture?
Launch Image Capture then connect the iPhone to a USB port.
The iPhone should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
You can also select a folder to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.
