Can't play movies from iphoto in snow leopard.

When I double click on a movie in iphoto nothing happens. But when I drag it onto quicktime it will play. Any suggestions? I'm using itunes 7.1.5 if that helps.

If you do a Command+i on a file you'll get this window:
Click to view full size
However, changing the default application to Quicktime Player 7 does not let iPhoto open it in that application. It still opens in the new Quicktime Player app.
I found a "bug" in the new QT Player. If your have a movie at 320 x 240 QT Player opens it at 478 x 359 which is the minimum window it can be set to. That makes the playback of files less than that size pixelated/fuzzy.

Can't play movie from gallery on mac

I can not play movies from my gallery on my macbook. These movies are imported from Canon A630 to iPhoto. In iPhoto I can play them well. All of them are published to my mobileme gallery using iPhoto. Then I open this gallery in Safari on my macbook to check if everything was published. And when I try to play a movie QuickTime tells me that it needs some additional software and directs me to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.htmlos=OSX&ctype=696d6463&cs ubtype=4d4a5047
I visited this page earlier and installed divx, xvid, recode raw and ensharpen codecs. Also I have Perian and Flip4mac installed codecs. So my main question is: why can't I play movies from gallery using safari if in the same time I can view them well from iPhoto?
Playing of movies published with iMovie works well. But this does not matter to me since I want videos to be published in events with photos. If iPhoto has functionality to publish videos so it must work! Also I must mention that videos published with iPhoto can be played without problems from my PC with safari+quick time for windows. But under my Mac none of Safari, Firefox and Camino can view videos from my gallery. So I think problem is in QuickTime.

Anybody?????? Im using web premium CS5.5 it seems ludicrous that by default it lets every website play content on my computer but regards my own content as a security risk and wont let me rectify the problem!

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

Latest version of itunes does not support Quicktime can not play movie from library

Latest version of Itunes does not support Quicktime. I can not play movies out of my itunes. Please fix

I don't usually download video from the iTunes store. I had a couple of long plane rides coming up and thought I might have time to watch the Stanford IOS7 programming class. On the plane I discovered this issue which has gone unaddressed since 2011 and has been worsened in Mavericks. in 2011 the advice was to open iTunes' get info pane and click run in 32 bit. That worked at least for some people. In Mavericks, iTunes will not launch in 32 bit.
For the files you can locate in the finder ( mine are at
/Users/raine001/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/iTunes\ U/Developing\ iOS\ 7\ Apps\ for\ iPhone\ and\ iPad/1.\ Class\ Logistics\,\ Overview\ of\ iOS\,\ MVC\,\ Objective-C.mp4
) you can click on the file in the finder and it will launch in QuickTime. For some reason on the plane I could see the first lecture in the iTunes view but, although I could see all the other lectures in the finder, I could not see the first one.
Ah well, maybe some other year I'll think about getting up to speed on ios7. Heck, maybe by then they will design a decent user experience.

Also can't play movies in iPhoto

I'm using iPhoto 9.1.5 & have Quicktime Player 10, & still on Snow leopard. When the movie was downloaded from my camera it showed message - "unreadable file, file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognised format". Should I be able to view this & is so what do I need - another version of Quicktime maybe? It was just a movie clip from an ordinary digital camera.
Thanks for any help.
Janet

It was just a movie clip from an ordinary digital camera.
Problem is: there's no such thing. Movie formats can carry movies created with any of hundreds of Codecs - so one .avi is not the same as another .avi.
Have you installed Perian?
This adds extra codecs to QuickTime which will allow it to work with most avis. If the material is HAD and shot as AVCHD then you'll need to use iMovie for that.

Can't sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone

I tried to find a discussion of this, but couldn't see an answer. (Maybe there isn't one.)
I have some AVI movies in iPhoto. I'd like to sync them to my iPhone. I think I did so many months ago, but can't replicate now.
I tried dragging from iPhoto to iTunes. No luck. I tried dragging to "movies': no luck. I tried exporting from iPhoto: it seemed to work, but couldn't find the movie on iTunes.

I think the movies have to be able to play in iTunes before you can view them on an iPhone.
AVI is just a "wrapper" that can contain movies with many different codecs. Not all of them are viewable in iTunes. Many of the AVI's that I get can't play in Quicktime and I use VLC and I've added Perian and Flip4Mac to be able to play them at all. These codecs aren't available on the iPhone so the movies have to be in just the right format to work.
There are many programs (looks like dozens) that can convert AVI's to be playable in iTunes. There are companies like Aimersoft, Xilisoft that sell programs that will do all sorts of conversions and optimizations for iPod/iPhone video.
Here's a tutorial that uses Free methods: http://news.metaparadigma.de/?p=48
Handbrake (free) is also supposed to be good for the job, but I don't use it anymore: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

Can't play movies from library on Apple tv

I have been streaming purchased content from my PC to my apple tv with no problems until today. I can see my PC library displayed on the apple tv menu on my tv. I can select a movie to play but after a bit of spinning I end up with the message "authorization is required" and instructions on how to authorize my PC through itunes. I have tried so many different things to correct this but with no luck. I have deauthorized and authorized. I removed all other authorized computers, so my PC is the only one of the five that is authorized. I have reset my apple tv. The problem is not the ATV2 because it recognized my library from my PC but it will not play. I only have one apple ID so I know that is not the problem. I can play all purchased on my PC and stream it to the apple tv via airplay. But I cannot directly play a movie due to the "authorization is required message." I have no idea what to do. Any ideas, or similar issues anyone has been able to resolve?

Since yesterday, many AppleTV users around the world have been experiencing the same issue. From what I've been able to tell from other postings, it's related to the Apple servers - they are being upgraded for the iCloud and many Apple TV users are getting the "Need to Authorize Computer" message when they try to play a TV show or movie. Your iTunes movie RENTALS and MUSIC should still work though.
A get-around is to stream your TV shows and purchased movies. To do that, start the movie or TV show in iTunes on your computer as if you are going to watch it on your computer. Once it starts to play, click on the little icon in the lower right-hand corner (hover your mouse around the area to get it to show up)....and then click on "Apple TV" (one of the two options the little icon gives you).....that will start it streaming on your TV. It's going to "push" it to your APple TV box rather than it being pulled there by Apple TV itself.

Can I play movies from iPad to blu ray player?, Can I play movies from iPad to blu ray player?

How do you play movie on a blu ray from the iPad ?

Subject of your posts seems to be asking if you can take movies from the iPad and play them on a BluRay player. No, you can't, though there are ways to connect your iPad to a television. The body of your post seems to be asking if you can take BluRay movies and play them on your iPad. No. Commercial DVDs are encrypted. In order to make a copy, you'd need to break that encryption. That's illegal in the U.S., so, we're not able to talk about it on this forum. Sorry.

Can't play movies in iPhoto after installing OS X Lion

I have just installed OS X Lion and the movies in iphoto no longer will play. I do not want to update iphoto because of problems with it. Is there anyway around this problem?
Cheryl

I'd ask about the JRE issue on the Using Mac OS X forum.
The videos are not necessarily gone:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can you separate movies from iPhotos?

Is there any way to just view all your movies in iPhotos? i.e. seperate movies from photos?
Also, does your movie data get stored in the iPhoto library in Pictures or in the Movies folder?
Thanks

If I delete the new Movie Smart Album, do I delete all the movies in my library?
If you delete a smart album by ctrl-click and selecting "Delete album", the album will be deleted, but the videos will remain in your library. You should see this panel:
Deleting the album will not remove the videos from the events and any other albums where they are used.
The Movies seem to be in the new smart Album I've just created but not in the library...
Really? What do you see, when you select one of them in the smart album, ctrl-click it, and use the command "Show in Event"?
Do you want to delete the videos permanently? Then select the videos in the album and use ⇧⌘⌫ to delete them.

How can i get my photos from iPhoto on snow leopard to lion?

AppleTV can't play movies from MobileMe, wrong format ?

The first time I accessed MobileMe Gallery on ATV it all worked fine, for photos and a medium sized movie. I decided to change the movie size to large, I took the medium off the gallery and shared the large movie from iMovie. I tried to view the movie on ATV, but got a message that it could not show the movie because it's the wrong format. So I changed it back to medium, but still got the no show message. How did the movie format change, I used iMovie every time.

Your video needs to conform to the sizes/frame/bit rates described here:

Upgrade from iPhoto of Snow Leopard

My current OS is Snow Leopard and I purchased and downloaded iPhoto '11 (9.2.3) online. The installation seems fine. Then it tried to upgrade my photo library.
The size of my library is 100 GB. iPhoto then claimed to be working on the library, with the white wheel keep on rotating, for over 8 hours now. Nothing else happened.
I can modify the items in Preference, such as "to show the number of photos in each folder", and the number of photos in those items did appear. However not a photo or folder appears on the main screen.
Should I wait for more time or something is wrong?
Thanks for your kind attention.
Beatrice_dad.

I would start over and begin by rebuilding the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
Now try update. If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Move from Tiger to Snow Leopard Has Slowed Down MBP Fall '08

I had to upgrade to snow leopard recently to use new releases of some software I use (like MacSpeech Dictate). Since upgrading, the speed of my mac has slowed significantly. Expose used to happen immediately. Now, it takes 4-7 seconds. When I switch from one program that's already open to another program that's already open, it often takes 10-20 seconds to switch. Etc. I've been a mac guy since before the mac (used the Lisa) and I've never been this unimpressed with an "upgrade."
Is there something I can do to get back to a mac that works when I want it to work?

Sounds like you have some software which hasn't been tested with 10.6. See my upgrade FAQ* for resources to find out if this has happened:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
Downgrading is much harder, though is outlined in this tip:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=6183892
Note, for a MacBook Pro that shipped with less than 10.5, you must use the original MacBook Pro installer discs, or a clone backup to restore your system to 10.4.11 or earlier.
