Can't import .mov or .m4v to movie library

When I try to share my Quicktime movie with iTunes it appears in music as a .m4v but not in movies. Audio plays fine but there is no video.
I have tried creating the .m4v via the menu and short cut icon from QT. I have tried using import to library and drag and drop to get the file into iTunes.
I've also tried importing as a .mov but no joy with this either.
The movie is a home recording. Edited in FCE and then exported as a QT movie.
I am running OSX 10.7.5, QT Player 10.1 and iTunes 11.0.4
Any ideas?

If you export from Keynote as a QuickTIme file, make sure to choose Timed Advance, not Manual Advance. iMovie will not import a manual advance track.

How can i import mpg files in i movie

how can i import mpg files in i movie?

iMovie cannot edit mpg files, unles they come directly from a supported camera.
I would suggest that you use a free third party app to convert it.
Get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is free.
Drag you mpg clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
Choose Apple Intermediate Codec, and save it where you can find it. You should be able to import this file into iMovie, using the FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE command.
Note: If your file is an MPEG2 clip, you may need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. Don't buy it unless you have to. It costs about $20. You just have to install the component. MPEG Streamclip will use it in the background.

Can I import photos from an old iPhoto library?

Can I import photos from an old iPhoto library on an external hard drive to my current iPhoto library? The icon on the hard drive appears greyed out when I try via Import.

Open the older library and export the Photos from it to the Finder (File -> Export) and switch to the new Library and import those.
Or, use iPhoto Library Manager to move the photos, plus all the versions and associated metadata to the new Library.

Can't import PNG, No File in Movie

I've just opened a project to continue working on it and I get a "no movie in file" message - and also if I click on the actual sequence to try to open it, followed by an out of memory message. (I've worked on project previously with no memory problems). All my movie clips seem to open - but I also get a file import error if I try to import any of the PNGs I use for the title screen or credits. My mac seems to have gone wonky since the last security update, as my dreamweaver has missing icons on the toolbar and my itunes has missing picture images when in the store (they just show broken link icon). I guess this is all related. I've tried disk utility and keychain first aid - but no joy.
I could really do with working on this FCP project but in its present condition it looks like I'd have to recreate it - but I cant import a simple PNG. All my previous versions of the project do the same thing. Anyone any ideas?

Hi thanks for the reply - the PNGs are RGB fireworks files - files that I use in every project but now I can't import them. I've tried the loading older autosaves, ditching the FCP prefs and render files. No joy - any other ideas?
If I hadn't imported these PNGs before I'd think it wasn't possible, but I know they should import... I could try bringing these in in a different format - but that wouldn't solve why I can't import and of course my sequence file gives the "no movie in file" error which is strange.
I've done quite a bit of tweaking to this project so I'm hoping I can get into it somehow and not have to start recreating everything... OMG.

I can't import my pictures to my movie

my iMovie was working fine but I deleted the movie and I want to create another one but now I can't import the same pictures to this movie. I don't know what's wrong with imovie.

The iMovie forum is here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie
Be sure to tell them what version of iMovie and the OS you are using too.

Why does my mac turn my downloaded movies into .m4v and move it to the desktop?

For about 4 or 5 months now I have had this problem. When I doenload a picture to my macs download file the computer converts the file to .m4v and moves it to the desktop, deleting the original download. Why? I dont know what I may have downloaded, it's been a while since this started.Thanks.

Why? Because you told it to.
Remove whatever folder action you installed on your Downloads folder. Right-click the folder, Services >> Folder Actions Setup.
If there's no folder action, then some piece of software you installed and have running is camping on your Downloads folder and doing the conversion.
Don't bother claiming you didn't... computer software isn't magic. The machine didn't just decide to do this one day.

Can't import some CD's into iTunes library

I have the latest verson of iTunes on my MacBook. When I try to import some CD's into the iTunes library, it ejects the CD back out. It doesn't happen to every CD; just some. What is causing this, and how can I import these CD's into iTunes?

Thanks for the suggestion. CD's are clean; no finger prints or dust. Still can't import into iTunes. A little background-- I had iTunes on a PC previously. When I transferred the library to my MacBook, I noticed some CD's were not transferred. This is one of the CD's I had in iTunes on my PC, but is now not in iTunes on my MacBook. Why can I not add this and some other CD's to iTunes on my MacBook?

Can I import (MUSIC.wma) in my iTunes Library, for my iPod?

Can I import (MUSIC.wma) into iTunes for an iPod Touch? I know somethinig about formating that may just ignore the import, see my grandmother had got an iPod, and she not only want's her CD's on it, she just wan'ts to know if she can play her windows music collection, with the extention .wma into iTunes . . . if any of you all know if it's possible without having to use any particular third party application please feel free to answer . .

I think so. iTunes' help says that iTunes can convert WMA files to other formats. The iPod supports:
Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

Can't import videos into imovie from movie files

I am having difficulty importing .mov files into iMovie. When I go to file>import>videos, I can find my .mov files I want to move to iMovie. It says it is converting. The files show up in my iMovie folders in Finder but no thumbnails are showing up in iMovie. Any suggestions?

The audio codec looks fine. The video codec is h.264 which is usually good for iMovie, but there can be variants that iMovie cannot handle. Another interesting thing about the h.264 is that it is anamorphic, which means it stores as 1440x1080, but simulates 1920x1080 by using rectangular pixels.
If I were trying to make this work, I would try converting it using a free tool called MPEG Streamclip, available here. I use the Beta version. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Then click FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Leave the audio codec unchanged.
For Frame size, choose 1920x1080.
Check Interlaced Scaling, and for Field Dominance use Upper Field First, but if it looks bad, you can try checking "Deinterlace Video".
Click Make Movie. Give it a name and store it where you can find it.
Now try importing into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.

What cable are you using? This Sony support article addresses that. http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId =C86798&fes=true&mdl=DCRPC9 Note that "iLINK (IEEE 1394)" means Firewire.

Can't import newly-purchased m4v iTunes to iPod or burn iTunes to CD

i cannot import a newly-purchased iTunes album. Drag & Drop does not work. neither can i burn to CD: "burning is disabled for this track"
on the other hand, i can import mp3's to the iPod. it seems to be only this (my first) iTunes purchase.
is this simply because the files are m4v?
thanks

Upon further investigation, I discovered that none of my iTunes music had synced, either. That lead me to this help article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303854
I de-authorized, then re-authorized my computer, following the instructions. It worked.

How can I import Master files from my iPhoto library to my Aperture lib?...

... That is knowing that I have already imported all my iPhoto library but I selected the option "in their current location" from the "store files" pop-up menu.
So right now, all my pictures are referenced images in Aperture but stored in their current locations on the iPhoto folder.
I simply want to get the masters back into Aperture.
How can I do that?
Thanks a lot for you help

There are some tutorials here
http://www.apple.com/aperture/tutorials/
one of which is specific to Aperture/iPhoto
Essentially though what you are wanting to do with your referenced master files is to
File/Consolidate Master/
Definitely worth having a read of the pro's and cons of managed vs referenced files.
RB maintains a great site with a wealth of ideas on workflows, worth having a erad of these.

I go through the steps to "add file or folder" to library, but it doen't move the music over. It doesn't give an error, it just doesn't do it. When I use the drag and drop technique it doesn't work either. Using XP tablet edition. Any idea's would be great. I have uninstalled it, and reinstalled itunes to the latest version. TW

These are the properties of the files of twho of the camras i want to use to capture footage.
