Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

How can I add an AVI file to iMovie?

I have iMovie '11. It won't let me add a .AVI file. If I can't add a .AVI file what is the best FREE software to convert it and what should I convert it to? Thanks!

I agree with the Streamclip suggestion for two reasons.
The first is that it is free and works well.
The second is that Streamclip is so essential that if one doesn't have it on one's computer, one is missing a very fascinating piece of software. Free, converts faster than anything Apple uses, and gives you a little window to see the conversion to make sure everything is going ok.

Can't open any video files anymore

Had no issues and then suddenly any video file that I bring in won't show up but instead I get a grey box with a red and green arrow. If I double click I get a box to find the file again but even if I point to the file again it dosn't show up. If I try to drag and drop on the timeline i get a message that it can't find the file even though the file exists and will open in Windows, Quicktime, etc.

Is there any way to force an install the latest from nVidia or is this a bad idea?
A previous poster with a Toshiba posted how he installed a generic driver. If I recall it was
Uninstall the graphics driver.
Remove the display driver from Device Manager.
Reboot declining prompts to install a driver.
Run the generic installer program.
I'll see if I can find the original post, I had it in my clipboard manager but that has the unfortunate habit of killing off its database every few months

Can't add some video files

I can't import or add a video file. The file is MP4. When I try to add to library, iTunes doesn't do anything. What should I do to have that video be in my library.

Do you have the "show only the synched items" box checked? It's on the summary page when you have Apple TV selected under devices in iTunes. I had this problem and it took me a while to see it...now if my Apple TV would just stay connected to iTunes......or if someone could help me downgrade to 2.0 I'd be golden.

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

Ejects the harddrive?
Of what did your old Mac die?
It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere. Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

Can't add any new files to itunes

Hi
In the past I've managed to add new music files via "file" then "add file to library" from the top toolbar - the file is then added to your libra.
For some reason this isn't working now! Get to select a file, but when press oK nothing is added.
Would anyone know if I'm missing something to make this work, or if there is another way to add a file?
big thanks
andy

Hi Andy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Will the files play in Quicktime Player? iTunes sometimes has problems recognising MP3 files and won't import them.
If they open in QT Player you could export them as a different format and see if they import then?
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Peter.

Upgraded to Tiger and now can't open any illustrator files! Please help me!

I upgraded my OS to Tiger and then updated to 10.4.8 and now can't get any of my Illustrator EPS files to open. I have spent the whole day trying to figure this one out (Launch Services advice in other posts) without any luck. What is going on here?!!! I have so much serious work to get done this weekend!
Please help me!
Amy

It's hard for anyone to offer any advice when you don't tell us what specifically is happening or not happening. Is there an error message? If so, what does it say? What version of Illustrator are you using? Does Illustrator open at all? Does it open regular Illustrator files? Have you reinstalled Illustrator?

Can't Add Any Video To iTunes

I've read through every single thread on this topic, but cannot find a solution and could really use some help. I rebuilt my computer and everything is working great. Except, I cannot add a single video to itunes. I used to add and remove videos constantly and never really had an issue. I've tried mp4, mov, different sizes, etc. Nothing will ever show up.
Most of these threads end in 'they show up in Home Videos' which would be great, but I never even get the Home Videos section to show up. I've tried adding them to 'automatically add to itunes' folder with itunes closed. Once I open itunes, they go straight into the 'not added' folder.
Been at this for days now and am at a true loss. I have 12.1.1.4 on Windows 7 64-bit and Quicktime 7. Any thoughts?

Hi. You can try to remove iTunes and the following Units by successively.:Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
Also should pay attention to the authorize issue:iTunes 12 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases

I can't add any media files from itunes

everytime I add a file to itunes, it doesn't show in garagebands media tab.

Well, I should rephrase my question. I've noticed my issue is actually with iLife applications, I mainly use GB to edit music, but it's been over a month now that the media browser tab in GB doesn't show the tracks I've added in itunes, It does let me drag them from itunes into GB, but I used to just hit the media browser tab and I the tracks would be there, basically it's the same issue with any iLife application. Any help with this?

I can not add a wmv file to the library. It is not protected

Can not add a video file to Itunes library and even when I try to open the video using "open with Itunes", Itunes start but instead of the video I see the music library

iTunes cannot play nor convert WMV files. You'll need to use a third-party application to convert the video to a format iTunes can accept.

IMovie will NOT let me add any video! Help!

I just need to edit an avi, and iMovie will NOT allow me to add any video footage any way I attempt to.
It says drag media here-- won't let me.
I use import movie from file-- it says it's doing it, but it doesn't.
What is going on with this program??
The ONLY footage I've been able to add is when it pops up my laptop's camera and I capture that way. I've got the file on my computer already.
Somebody please help me.

iMovie '08 will only allow you to to import files containing compression formats that can be edited. If you AVI file won't import, it likely means that the audio and/or video data is not editable. To import it, you will have to first convert it to any of the acceptable compression formats. For video this means DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. For audio this may include DV, AIFF, AAC, Unsigned Integer, Uncompressed, etc. This means that files with adaptive PCM (ADPCM) -- a very common AVI audio compression format for digital cameras -- will not import.
The ONLY footage I've been able to add is when it pops up my laptop's camera and I capture that way. I've got the file on my computer already.
Files imported directly from a video camcorder is automatically converted to "edit" compatible compression formats using non-QT routines built into the iMovie '08 application. Files already on your hard drive are brought in (imported) via the Finder and as such, bypass the special camcorder routines since the application assumes you will only import files that are edit compatible "natively" -- i.e., are in the compression format in which you actually want to do your editing. (For example, a person who wants to edit in DV would likely be upset if the application switched to M-JPEG or MPEG-4 editing behind the user's back for some reason.)
