MOV files in computer video folder don't DL to My Library in iTunes

I have several MOV files on my computer in the video folder which I would like to DL to my library in iTunes and then burn DVDs. I have tried "add file". The title appears, but the time is 00. There is no download. I have Quicktime Pro. Does anybody have a solution? I have spent hours on this but have not been successful.

- Do you have Restrictions set that would prevent the syncing? Settings>General>Restrictions
- Do they play in iTunes?
- Is the format or source different that the one that do sync?

HT201737 how to move files into a finder folder

how do I move files into an existing folder in finder on MacBook Pro?

I am attempting to move some EXEL files that have been saved as documents. When I open finder, these files do not appear in the recent, or last 30 days section so I need to search fro them. When they are found they are not on the page where the folder exists so I don't seem to be able to drag them to the folder.

All files in a shared folder don't have permissions

I have two users on my mac and am having some issues with sharing files. I created a shared folder and gave the other user read/write permissions. When I log in as that user, the folder can be accessed, but some of the files in that folder cannot be accessed. These are all photos, and for the most part I'm dropping them into the shared folder from iPhoto.
I tried it again by using the Public folder with the same result. However, there isn't consistency with the actual files that don't have permission. In other words, the shared folder I created may have a file that does not have permission, but that same file does have permission when I dropped it in the Public folder. So it is totally random as to which files in the shared folder don't have permission to be accessed.
I also tried to simply drag the files to the other user. Same result.
Can anybody help me with this? I'm stumped as I thought once a folder was shared that all contents are accesible.

Sharing a folder does give others access to it, but it does not change the permissions of the files inside. Other users can probably read everything, but they can't modify files that they do not own unless the owner of those files has changed the permissions to allow it, or other steps have been taken to provide additional access such as the use of an Access Control List (ACL).
Apple doesn't include a GUI utility for manipulating ACLs, so your choices are to use a third-party utility such as TinkerTool System (not free) or the Terminal application. The Drop Box folder in your user's Public folder has an ACL entry that gives access to change just about everything on files that are dropped there, so a Terminal example that sets similar permissions for everyone (a particular user group can also be used) would be:
1. copy and paste the folowing into the Terminal window (there is a trailing space):
chmod -R +a "everyone allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,chown,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
2. drag the desired folder into the Terminal window (this copies the path)
3. press return
Note that ACL entries only work on items that have been created in the folder - not moved there - so you should use option drag to make a new copy in the shared folder.

Burned mov file of finished video as always but on playback there is a sudden loud audio feedback-type-buzz about a minute into program. Wisdom?

Thanks for all your help and thorough answers. After trying several things
without success, I ultimately just rebooted the system and...bingo...the
problem went away. It was such an unusual problem that it just didn't occur
to me that it would be that simple. Sometimes it isn't. I appreciate your
working to help me deal with this.

Type .mov into Spotlight search to see if any files show, other than the one you know about.
Also you can try other types like .mp4

çnow won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal

I bourght "E O Wilson's Life on Earth" and backed it up to my iMac. Now it won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal?
I also made the big mistake of downloading a free book about the making of the movie "Frankenweenie." Mega-memory eater. Now it wants to download additions and started to do so---now says paused. I can't delete the bloody thing. Seems like nothing I've downloaded, including free books, can be deleted. How can I get rid of this garbage?
Is there any way to just transfer my music from my iMac to my iPad and not affect anything else on my iPad? The whole iBooks thing is just a mess as far as I'm concerned. Is there any way to just drag and drop?

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

.MOV files not playing video???

I bought a new JVC GY-HM100U HD camera, this camera saves files in native Final Cut Pro .mov files. When I try to play them back on my Imac or 2 laptops with Quicktime I only get audio files to play.
I went down to Apple store and the files played on new Imac. I have newest QT application, I can't figure why they don't play video, ANY IDEAS???

To Apple Discussions!
Make sure you have the following installed:
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
The latest version of Adobe Flash Player Software
Also, don't forget to repair permissions & restart your computer after the installations.

Will the latest version of Quicktime Pro(for Vista) create a Lime Lapse from a .Mov file (from a video camera)

Will Quicktime Pro for Windows convert a .MOV file to a time lapse?
I have a six hour tripcoming up next weekend, and want turn a full length bullet cam video(native .MOV) of it into a time lapse to post. I have found tons of info saying QuicktimePro will go from stills to time lapse, but only one reference to converting an existing 1080P .mov file into one.
Any and all help and or direction will be greatly appreciated!

QuickTime Player Pro can open image sequences and export to an image sequence. This will create a series of still image files, sequentially named to a folder you create.
Open the video and choose Export from the File menu. In the next dialog window choose "Movie to Image Sequence" and then click the "Options" button. Here you set the "frame per second" and the file format (JPEG, PNG, etc.) and other options (like target file size or compression).
Set the FPS to one and one image file per second of video will be extracted and compressed. If your source was 30 fps then the first frame of the first second of the file will be saved. Set the fps to two and the first and fifteenth frame will be captured.
Some words of cation:
Be sure to create a new folder prior to the export. You don't want hundreds (or thousands) of image files cluttering your desktop.
Edit the source file prior to export to get a "long" shot of the action. Scene breaks will look awkward when they are played at high speed.
Don't make a 1080 file export to image sequence. If your source is 1080 use the View menu to change it to "Half Size". These half size image files will help keep the file size down and help playback on older machines.
Now that you have your folder of images choose "import Image Sequence" from the file menu and set your fps rate back to the same as your source file.
You'll note that file size of your exported/imported project will probably be larger than your source file (and maybe too big to share on the Web). Export it again "Movie to QuickTime Movie" and choose H.264 video codec and set an "average" data rate. This should crunch the file five times smaller.

Different movie file sizes - different videos??

I downloaded the Flex 4 In a Week videos for offline viewing a few months ago.
Today I noticed that, in conjunction with an overhaul of the Flex In A Week web page, the movie files posted therein have changed in size. They are several megs smaller than the corresponding videos I downloaded a few months ago. Have the videos changed, or have they only been compressed more for faster download?
Thanks

Hi Gusetva,
All of the content for the videos are the same. Looks like they just compressed the files.

.mov files not showing video while using Quicktime Pro

Hi:
I'm trying to work with some .mov files that were created in DVCPRO HD format, which I understand is a Panasonic format. I've upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7.6.4 as instructed by the individual who created the .mov files. The problem is I get audio, but no video. I've also tried exporting these movie files to DV Stream and I get an error message that reads "qtKitErrorCatchAll(-8961)."
Thanks for viewing this and for any help you can provide.

The file was made by someone using Final Cut Studio?
A white playback means the codec used in the file is missing on the machine trying to view it.
Ask them to send you a version exported using H.264 video codec.

.mov file has no video - playing it in Quick Time 7 on Windows XP. Help!

I work for a law firm and we received a CD which contains a .mov file. When we try to play it in Quick Time, it plays the audio, but NO video. We are trying to play it is Quick Time (version 7.7.1) on a Windows XP Pro PC. When Quick Time first opened, it gave a message saying "Additional software is required for QuickTime to playback this media. It may be available from the Quick Time Components page." I clicked Continue and it took me to the Components page, but it lists like 10 different components and I have no idea what we need. Can anyone provide any input as to what might be missing? Is it a CODEC? I have tried converting it to a different format usinig two different softwares and have gotten errors.

Quicktime files can be MPEG-4 video, and should be
transferable to your iPod.
If you get info on the video file in question what
does it say?
when i click get info it says the kind/type is a quicktime movie file.....i was jus mainly wondering why some podcast videos have quicktime video file, while others have the mpeg-4 video file...its almost like and OCD (obssesive complusive disorder) thng for me.....but as long as they can still transfer to the ipod i should be fine....

Importing .mov files from computer to itunes

How can I batch move files to the same folder structure in a different location?

Hi,
I recently had an issue with my iTunes Library so I used the Organize Library feature to have iTunes organise my library. What happened was that it put all of my music in a folder called 'Music' on my external hard drive, whereas previously it was not in a folder at all, e.g.
BEFORE: External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
AFTER: External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
I don't have any particular issue with the updated folder structure, except that I had copies of the artwork for each album in my album folders, and these weren't moved when the audio files were moved/consolidated/organised. So I need to find a way of moving all of the artwork to the new folders, e.g.
External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
needs to become:
External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
I have to do this for 3,000+ albums, and I have multiple artwork files for some albums, so I am hoping that there is a way of doing this using a batch/automated method of some kind, but I haven't been able to turn up anything yet.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks,
Nick

You can make a smart playlist containing episodes of both series and play from that. Podcasts are linked together by the URL they are served from so merging ongoing series isn't really practical.
