Can't import photos from new "Photo" into iMovie 9.0.

Since upgrading to the new Photo app, iMovie 9.0 only recognizes Photo Booth. Previously I could drag and drop selected photos into iMovie, but now can't import them that way or through the Photo Browser in iMovie. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your insight. Over the course of about a week, I did persistently try to upgrade to iMovie 10 but, despite the help of the Apple Support Community, could not get all my projects to migrate properly from iMovie 9 to 10. Many of them Many of the 300 short projects come in a jumbled mess. So I'm stuck with iMovie 9, which, in turn, means Photos won't connect properly when working with iMovie. At least I know to stop trying and I'm able to go back to iPhoto without suffering any repercussions.

Can anyone help me figure out how to use my new LaCie external hard drive to import movies from my camcorder into imovie '09? I ran into so many problems last night!! Was up way past my bedtime!

I'll stay in this chat ... I answered in the other one ... I have a Sony digital Handycam ... from years ago. I just got the LaCie and I think I formatted it for only to be used on my Mac ... how should I go about reformatting it to be HFS Extended like you said?

Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB

Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB. When opening Log&Transfer in FCP, no files show up (the Log&Transfer window do not seem to recognize the files on the camera). The camera shows up in Finder, though. - Do I need a driver?

sorry, of course USB is available for L&T, I use it every Friday so I should know better, I got two replies mixed up completly so thanks for correcting my mistake.
what I meant to suggest was if the camera does not show in finder or in L&T check the camea menu setting is set to connect to the hard drive and not from the camera or memory card.

How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

Hi
Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
Then Your Mac need eiter
- a FireWire port - or -
- a Thunderbolt port
if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

How have you tried to do that?
You don't have to import iPhoto to Photos, you have to open she iPhoto Libray in Photos.
Either drag the iPhoto Library (not the application) onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
Or launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key to select your iPhoto Library for migration.
Where i your iPhoto library stored? On an external drive or your system drive?

I can't import music from my computer into Itunes

I've been trying to import music from my computer into Itunes, And it isnt working
I have the latest version of Itunes
When I try adding the files by clicking add file in Itunes or by dragging, it does nothing
I know it means that the file is incompatible with Itunes, But I have put the same type of file into Itunes before with no issues (MP3)

Hey Haley.1182,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble importing music into iTunes. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article should help get the music imported. The second article shows what formats are compatible with iTunes.

Can't import emails from outlook express into mail

Just bought a macbook, I'm new into MAC, I'm a MAC ROOKIE. I'm trying to import my email from my microsoft outlook express to my MAC MAIL, I followed the instructions to import from outlook but when I locate the outlook files for my emails (they have extension .dbx but it won't let me select the files. Besides in the outlook folder there are dozens of files (1 per email subfolder). What am I doing wrong that I can't import the emails, nor the address book?
Thxs!!!
Avecesar

Pay attention to the information Mail displays during the import process. It could be that it wants you to select the folder that contains the files to be imported, rather than the files themselves.
EDITED: Now that I've read your post again, I don't think you're going to be able to do this on your MacBook, as importing from Outlook Express requires that application to be running in the "Classic" environment, which isn't available for Intel-based Macs.
Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about how importing from Outlook Express is supposed to work, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I can't import images from the web into my iphoto 8

I installed snow leopard a few weeks ago and when I try to click on an image on a website like a friends photo from myspace, and drag it to my Iphoto's icon in my dock it gets rejected, But I was able to do that very same thing before and it would work. I don't know why it won't now unless it is snow leopard. can someone help me fix this problem? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Several people have mentioned this and it seems to be a change with 10.6
If you're using Safari then right click on an image and choose 'Add Image to iPhoto Library'. Otherwise drag the image to the desktop first.

Can't import MP4 from Panasonic GH4 into Premiere CS6

Can't import 50Mbps MP4 from Panasonic GH4 into Premiere CS6 but I can import it into CC. Any workarounds to get it into CS6?
Another odd thing is that I can import the 50Mbps MOV from the GH4 into CS6 but can't play it using Windows Media Player (for quick review before importing) like I can the MP4. If someone knows how to get the MOV from the GH4 to play with Windows Media Player I'd start using that format instead of the MP4. Odd thing is that the 50Mbps MOV recorded with my GH3 can play in Windows Media Player.

I updated to the latest version CS6 and that solved the MP4 import problem. Still working on the other issue.

Can't import video from Sony DVR to iMovie 4

Help please. I have been looking through the discussion threads and have found similar problems but haven't found a solution that works for me.
I am connecting a Sony HC32 through iLink (firewire) to import a video into iMovie 4. iMovie recognizes the camera is connected and I can control the camera through the controls within iMovie, but the images never show on the screen. They only show in the view finder of the camera. The sony manual is no use, neither is their site.
The camera is set to USB Stream (as was suggested by the sony manual). the other options are STD-USB and PictBridge. (which also didn't work)
Additional helpful details.
I recorded in SP mode
I have powered off my mac (even unplugging from wall).
I have unplugged the firewire and plugged it back in (both from camera and from mac.)
I have verified the time/date are set on the camera
I have even tried importing both from battery power and from AC adaptor.
does anyone else have this camera? Am I missing a setting on the camera? this is my first video camera. I have a few still cameras and iPhoto is so easy! I figured iMovie would be just as simple.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Sue,
I don't know exactly what did the trick but here's what I did and it works like a charm. (Just in case someone else runs into the same issue)
I used the Garage Band reset.
Video camera set to USB-PLY/EDT = USB STREAM (the other options are PictBridge and STD-USB and no way to select "null")
Camera in the dock
Firewire directly attached to iMac
Firewire in dock (the only way to plug in)
USB Streaming option on dock set to "Off"
Camera powered by AC adaptor rather than battery.
Open iMovie
Turn on camera.
I don't know if this is the only way it will work because I tried so many things (including turning the dock USB streaming on/off) but this seems to be the ticket for me so I am always going to follow this process.
thanks again for your help and suggestions.

Can i import an iPhoto slideshow directly into iMovie?

I know you can export an iPhoto slideshow to QuickTime, and then import that into iMovie.
Just wondering if you can eliminate the middle step and go directly into iMovie.

You'll need to export the movie out of iMovie to the Desktop via the Share ➙ File menu option. Import the movie file from the Desktop into iPhoto and when you've confirmed that the movie is safely in iPhoto you may delete the copy from the Destkop.
To send the movie from iMovie to other apps like iDVD that have access to the Media Browser use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.

How do I import video from a dvd into iMovie '08?

Does anyone know how to do this?? The movie that I'm trying to import was created in iMovie on another Mac.....I burnt the movie onto a DVD, and I'm trying to import it into iMovie on a new Mac.
Any ideas or suggestions are very much appreciated!!

DVDxDV, VisualHub and MPEG Streamclip (free but requires $20 Apple Quicktime MPG-2 component) are three possibilities

Problem importing 720p from Canon 7D into iMovie at "Full original size"

When I import 720p footage into iMovie from my 7D at "Full original size" , it seems to be reducing them to the "Large" size 960 x 540. When I try to export to QT file at 720p 16:9, it comes out 960 x 540. Any help much appreciated

You're right it should work .... but in practice not always.
You have the latest and greatest mac laptop but your camcorder is frankly a bit dated. So my suggestion is to give it the signal that it wants.
You might want to try this little puppy:

along with a standard 6 pin to 4 pin FW 400 cable. It might be choking on the faster FW 800. This is just a guess though.

Problems downloading photos from new camera into i photo macbook pro os ver 10.6.8, new camera Olympus VR340, iphoto version 9.2.3 -- any thoughts?

Have a "vintage macbook pro running snow leopard os vers. 10.6.8. Just bought a new camera -- Olympus VR 340. Yesterday the photos downloaded into iphoto with no problerms. Today they won't -- in fact -- iphoto just has the turning wheel and won't function (version 9.2.8). Any thoughs about what the problem is and how to get it to work again? Never had problems with iphoto before -- with multiple cameras.
thanks.

Quit iPhoto, then go to Users / your home folder / Library / Preferences.
In that folder you will find two files named com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist
trash both files, then restart iPhoto.
Next go to iPhoto/Preferences and make sure you have selected Connecting Camera Opens: iPhoto

How can I import contacts from my iPhone into my iCloud account?

Hi. I synchronized my iPhone with my eMac, and as a result all my eMac contacts were transfered to my iPhone, while I was seeking just the contrary. Can someone tell me how I can do this?

If all of the contacts you want in iCloud are on your phone,* I would do the following:
As a precaution, download a copy of the contacts currently in your iCloud account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606. This probably will not be used.
Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone. Use the app to back up the contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Open the My Contacts Backup app, tap the gear icon on the bottom right, in the window that opens scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. Confirm that there are no more contacts on your phone, on icloud.com or on your Mac.
Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.
Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Contacts back on.
Open the My Contacts Backup email on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud. Confirm that your contacts now appear on your phone, as well as on icloud.com and your Mac.
* If all of the contacts you want are not on your phone, please explain which device contains the master list of contacts that you want in iCloud.
