Can only see some videos that are on camera's SD card

I would like to be able to directly import videos from my camera's SD card into iPhoto, but when I put the card in my Mac, only some of the videos show up. If I look in Finder, I can see all the clips, open them in Quicktime, export them to the computer's drive, and then import them into iPhoto (all one at a time), but obviously that is a pain. I apparently can't use the import function in iPhoto to manually import the files from the SD card, because when I try it tells me the fileare in an unreadable format. (The camera records video in AVCHD format, and stores the data in a folder structure that shows up as a package in Finder. iPhoto doesn't let me open the package to go through the folders from its Import browser window, so I can only try to open the top folder, which iPhoto apparently can't parse.)
Any ideas welcome.
Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20
Mac: Macbook Pro 15" w/ Retina
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2
iPhoto '11 v. 9.4.2 (710.42)
Thanks.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this. The linked support article addresses the issue directly (thank you both), but the method recommended there (importing the entire AVCHD folder structure) didn't solve the problem. The small number of videos that iPhoto could not see originally also did not get imported, though the ones that it could originally see, did. Luckily since the percentage seems to be small (~10%), it is not prohibitive to open them one by one in Quicktime, re-export them, and then import them into iPhoto. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future. Thank you all for your suggestions.

    my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
    Actually you’re not.
    The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
    The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    You can run a Library on an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • I can only see some of the info (e.g. the email Facebook gives you) for some friends in Contacts. I can see everything for others. Their b-days aren't listed in my Contacts (but these friends have their B-days on their profile on FB). Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    I can only see some of the information of my Facebook friends in my Contacts. For example, a friend has a birthday today. I received an email that she and another friend have birthdays this week. I received a notification on my iPhone and iPad that her birthday was today. It was never displayed in my Notification Center or Calendar beforhand, like it's displayed for other friend's (for other friends, it's displayed in the Notification Center, with the Calendar icon, 1 day before). I looked at every setting I could think of and the Help pages on Facebook. Nothing is working. My friend with the birthday today has her birthday openly listed on her Profile information on her Facebook page. In my contacts, her Facebook email (the one Facebook assigns you when you join) is listed. However her picture and birthday are not listed. I displayed my Facebook Contacts only, and roughly 20 showed up and not the rest. It's like the devices are not recognizing those people and putting their information in the respective places. I have an iPad 3rd Gen, iPhone 5, and MacBook Pro (purchased in January 2013. I hope that helps) and ALL the software updates are current. Can anyone help? Also, my MacBook cannot access my Contacts from Yahoo. Despite my typing in the correct password repeatedly as well as deleting and adding the Yahoo account again. I'd be grateful for any and all help. Thank you. 

    Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

    It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
    Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
    When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
    iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
    Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

    You have to download the iPhone version of the app - if there are two different versions and if you do not want to pay for the iPad version.
    Look in the App Store for the iPhone version and then try to download that one,

    A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.
    It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc. I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loose my photos and his music which is very good. How should I do???

    Resetting the settings will reset things like the wallpaper to the default. It wont remove the apps or music.
    As the previous poster said, the apps and music will be tied to the previous owners Apple ID, you'll need the password to update the apps and remain authorized to play the music.
    I would suggest taking your stuff off (the camera pictures) then erasing all content and settings so the iPad is like new. For privacy reasons alone I would erase the device. I realise you want to keep the music, but since you haven't paid for it (it was purchased under someone elses ID) then it isn't yours to keep, you'll need to write down the tracks and purchase them under your ID.

  • Can not see some videos, Can not install Activex 9.o47

    My name is Alex, I have been working on getting flash to play
    for about 3 weeks.
    I have uninstalled both shockwave and flash many many times
    using all different sites. I have turned off my firewall,
    anti spy, and antivirus when downloading. I have shut
    everything down that was running. I have closed everything.
    I have restarted each time between downloads. I have then
    downloaded the install from many many sites. Closed everything, and
    installed.
    I have uninstalled from ADD/Remove. I have reinstalled. Now,
    when I go to ADD/Remove programs it shows that both Flash and
    Shockwave are there.
    Seriously, I have downloaded and uninstalled and installed so
    many times from so many sites.
    Each time the screen shows I have done it successfully. But I
    cannot get it to play. I have turned off all popup blockers that I
    know of.
    I still run my anti virus, firewall spyware etc. But says
    there is nothing to prevent Flash from playing some of the pages I
    use to see.
    I have done a Reg clean. And I have installed after all that
    and still does not work.
    I am the admin on the computer and I am the only one who runs
    it. I use firefox for my browser but I tried to get it in IE and
    still nothing.
    Everything was going absolutely fine till I done the stupid
    mistake of updating my Flash player,
    seen then my computer is going banana, I don't understand why
    is that,
    I can actually see U tube videos, but I can not see other
    videos like trailers from IMDB, <Your browser is blocking
    display of our video player. If you would like to see the video,
    please turn off any ad-blocking or Flash-blocking software that you
    are using>.
    That's what he said on the screen where the video suppose to
    play, I can only see advertising, It should be the other way
    around,
    and even the news on yahoo I can not see them, only ads.
    I had no problems before, no pop up I could see the videos
    absolutely fine and especially no ADS and then that days,
    I wish I could cancel that day, I'm try to fix this problems
    all ready 3 weeks and nothing, I did try everything but nothing.
    I have download flash Player 9.0.47.0 manage to install but
    found impossible to install Activex 9.0.47.0 seems to be impossible
    I do know why. disinstall everything reinstall but nothing,
    # Select Start.
    # Select Run.
    # Type cmd
    # In the command window, type the following:
    uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
    The answer is: uninstall_flash_player.exe is not recognised
    as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    does not work, try million of time, does not work.
    Does anybody know why?

  • Can't see iPhoto pics that are edited in PS and saved back to iPhoto

    Photos that are edited in Photoshop and saved back into iPhoto don't show up in the iPhoto window. Only the originals show up. When I do a search, I see that they are saved in a "modified" folder inside iPhoto. How can I see them in the iPhoto window? I would like to "trash" some of them. Can I just drag them to the trash from the "modified" folder or will that foul up the iPhoto database?

    Maybe this will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full sizes
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • I can not see any messages that are coming

    hello friends, 
    I have a problem where some users from an external domain can not send messages to my domain. 
    I get this external domain for some users but not others in the same domain. 
    those users who can not receive the external domain, can send to other domains, such as: (yahoo, google, etc.) I did tests and received, but not in my. 
    I use a scan mail for exchange, but not found where to see all messages that enter my scan mail. I just got to see if it is looking for the real time, but that and bad. 
    guide the logs I do not find any option that shows all messages that are coming. I want to make sure that the messages are coming in my scan mail for exchange. 
    I did some analysis, but I need help to do some basic tests: 
    . [email protected] and [email protected] are from the same domain. 
    Sending email User ([email protected]) - I get the two domains 
    . The email sent by the User ([email protected]), I found in my exchange 2010 tracking log. 
    . I received this same email on (yahoo.com.br). 
    . I noticed that the header of the message and the address output different from the message sent by User ([email protected]
    Sending email User ([email protected]) - Not get in my domain 
    . Not found in the tracking log of my exchange 2010 and not given any locks on my scan mail for exchange. 
    . I received this same email on (yahoo.com.br) 
    . I noticed that the header of the message and the address output different from the message sent by User ([email protected]
    General observation: 
    . When doing a test with nslookup seeking MX, MX identified that this header in the message User ([email protected]) and different from the User ([email protected]
    I'm a little confused if the problem is in some blockage in my environment or can be problem in the ([email protected]) environment. 
    Thank you. 

    Resolved. 
    As was reported, the client received an IP and not others. (Identified in the header) 
    We monitor the firewall and that confirmation that the IPs closed connection on port 25, this means that they were trying to send. 
    Looking at screen real-time Trend Scan Mail noted that at the time the User would send message apareceiam a message "User Category Spam", but gave not to identify what was the specific email. The vision is very bad. 
    Then questioned the sender if he was getting some feedback and he said yes. While viewing the message is written that there is a blockage (IP Email Rreputation) that sends the email. 
    The SPFs of making an appointment, identify the block of IP that the client could receive was registered in the SPF and what not reached, was not. 
    I believe so Trend included these IPs as bad. 
    Added the IPs whitelisted email reputation and the messages were received by the customer. 
    Thank you.
