Cannot play or import iPhone 4 videos in Aperture 3.3.2

When trying to import a video I shot on my iPhone 4 with the built-in camera app into Aperture, I just received the message "Unsupported video format". If I try to import the video as a file from the desktop, it does not even show up in the import dialogue.
Similarly, all iPhone 4 videos I have inside Aperture already don't play anymore. I can still see the thumbnail, but trying to open them will just bring up a grey screen - nothing else.
All videos play fine in QuickTime, I have verified they are the usual standard Apple Codec and none of the other threads here helped me.
Would anyone have any ideas?

What is your operating system? Have you upgraded to Mt. Lion after installing Aperture 3.3.2? Then I'd start with reinstalling Aperture, if the trouble started after upgrading the OS.
Otherwise, walk through the measures outlined in the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, unless you alreday have done so. Start with repairing and rebuilding the aperture, Library, followed by removing the preferences, if necessary.
Post back, if it does not help.

  • How do you import iPhone video from Aperture into FCPX?

    I need to import some iPhone 4 video files from Aperture into FCPX. For some reason there seems to be no way to do this. Please do not suggest I import the videos directly from my iPhone. #1 the videos are already off my phone and #2 I have no desire to import all my iPhone videos separately into FCPX when I am already importing them into Aperture along with my photos.

    You have to drag them from their location, (finder or iPhoto etc) into one of the events in the event list of FCP X.

    The Premiere Elements learning curve is a serious matter. Nothing to be taken lightly or taken for granted. Every question is important, small or large. Never hesitate to ask a question. Every answer is always obvious once you have been there and done that. I often reflect on "the measure of a smart person is not what he/she knows but rather what he/she knows that they do not know". All that said, let us move forward zealously to get you moving forward with your project with some fine tuned communication.
    I have gone back and reread your whole thread. I think the light bulb may have lit here and that I bypassed the following.
    When  I  open  the  Organize  and  view  videos  section  that  is  supposed  to  show  ALL  my  imports.
    All  that  are  fully  showing  are  the  pictures...  ALL  The  Videos  are  located  in  a  "BLANK"  box  on  that  same  screen.
    Again,   If  I  select  the  "make  movies"  option   the  videos  are  able  to  be  dragged  down  to  the  timeline,  where  they  fully  appear. However,  I  cannot  view  them  in  the  selection  area
    On my re-read of your thread, it appears that your blank box is not in Project Assets in the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 12 Editor. It is in the Elements Organizer 12 which is part of Premiere Elements 12. Is that correct? If it is,
    a. if you double click the blank thumbnail in that Elements Organizer 12, can you play back the video file there?
    And, what you are saying is that when you open this Elements Organizer 12 blank box in Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, you see the video and hear the audio just fine. Is that what is going on?
    Video thumbnail problem in the Elements Organizer is a frequent report. That is why details, such as the file extension of the file involved, are so important along with the other properties of the file.
    One way around this is to use Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Add Files and Folders (from computer hard drive) to get your file into Project Assets from where you drag it to the Timeline. Does that work for you?
    Before I go on and on, let us see if we are in sync on this.
    Your help on this is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

    Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

  • Cannot play music from Iphone on iTunes

    This is the setup:
    I have a home PC that I use to sync / buy content on my Iphone. When I come to work, I have none of this data on the PC, but I want to play the content of my Iphone through my PC.
    When I click on the iphone triangle and click music, the content is all grey and I cannot play (or double click to play).
    How can I play this music on my Itunes?
    Thanks!

    I've had this problem for ages. You've inspired me to find a fix and I appear to have found one.
    I manually sync my iphone at home (computer A) and I wanted to play songs on Computer B at work. The songs were all greyed out on Computer B.
    Now, to get around this I have selected "Manually manage music and videos" from the sync options in iTunes.
    I have no other options selected for sync options as I do actually want to manually manage music rather than sync it.
    Now, when I click on "Music" from within itTunes --> iPhone it is no longer greyed and is playable through Computer A and Computer B.
    Think that made sense, if not let me know

  • Cannot Play or Import CD's...I'm so fed up, please help

    Here's my dilemma. I cannot get iTunes to play or import CD's via an external drive (my internal laptop drive is broken). This is the second drive that I have purchased (prior one was a memorex, this one is a Sony Dual layer DVD-RW). When I insert the CD, the metadata regarding the album name and track names appear. But when I try to play the song it will just skip through it like the song was 0 seconds long and it will import the song (all the metadata) but there will be no song and it will take up no memory space. What the heck am I doing wrong?
    Please note that when I play the cd via windows media player or nero suite it works like a charm. I'm so fed up with this now that I have wasted money on two external drives and sitll no dice. Please help.

    To me, it sounds like the drive is simply having problems reading the disc - that is, it can load the table information, but eventually lose the audio stream (in whatever application you are streaming into... iTunes, Media pLayer, etc...).
    Try another audio disc that does not have scratches. Try the discs that don't work in another computer.
    Some drives read CDs better than others.

  • How to stop auto play on importing audio/video

    I am so sorry to post this question. I've seen it many times around on internet, but it is driving me ABSOLUTELY MAD. After importing audio/video on iTunes (plus copy into iTunesLibrary), the file automatically starts playing. It is annoying me more and more, I can not seem to turn the function off. iTunes seems to be defaulted nowadays to start autoplay after importing music or video into iTunes~?
    Please someone, where can I turn this function off????????????
    thanx for your help. But honestly, with iTunes I don't expect there is a solution. I hope there will be good software available in future OS-versions.
    Rudi

    Hey tt2 and Chris!
    Uhm...you both talk aout the actual folder 'automatic add to iTunes'? So, have to look that up tomorrowmorning. It is an actual folder in my iTunes media folder???
    I don't get it. I thought by checking the box in preferences (automatically add to iTunes) that it makes a copy of the file that I wanted to add and place it in my iTunes library. Then I throw away the original which I dragged into iTunes.
    So, i understand that is not the way to add files?
    But dragging into the folder 'automatically add to iTunes', does that mean that there are more than one copies of a file after adding?  Meaning...one in the 'automatically add to-folder' AND in the library? I only need one file....otherwise I wind up with several duplicates. Just one in iTunes library will do fine for me. There is backup elsewhere for files i need to keep....
    But anyway...thanx for the tip.  Will try this tomorrow, search for the automatically add to-folder and let you know!

  • Cannot play any of the video in youtube?

    i want to play video in youtube but cannot play HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Imported iphone videos crash windows explorer

    Hi, I have imported 10 short video clips from my iphone to my windows 8 laptop using the usb data cable. The transfer or import works fine however when I open the folder containing the clips and hover the mouse pointer over one of the video clip icons, windows explorer immediately closes. No error message, no warning, just immediate closure.
    It appears to be a problem relating to the imported iphone clips as non of my other video clips have this error, just the ones I've just imported.
    This occurs using various media players, WMP, VCL etc.
    Having read a few thread on help forums it would seem this is something linked to thumbnail viewing but I've not got a clue how to sort this.
    Thanks in advance

    TThis is a user to user support forum. You will only get a response here if someone else has experienced your problem, or knows a solution. Since your error involves Windows Explorer, have you tried a Microsoft support forum. You can also get an error report in Windows for the crash. Check with Microsoft.

  • CANNOT PLAY OR IMPORT CD'S - HP Touchsmart IQ504 -

    I'm trying to import cd's into itunes.  When I insert the cd, it will load the cd title and tracks, but won't play OR import them.  The sympotoms change a little as well.  I was able to hear audio from a cd through my pc for a few seconds before it froze.  This only happened once.  Normally it just sits on the 1st track "loading".  If left for an hour or so, it will respond with "Errror occurred while converting the file ' Example 1 '   The required disck cannot be found"
    I thought it was Itunes and I uninsatlled and reinstalled it several times but I am also unable to hear the cd/dvd when played through " My Computer" and going to the drive.  It loads tiltle and tracks, but doesn't play. 
    I've tried multiple cd's.  And several "Real player"s or Quicktime etc.  The audio works fine as far as websites goes.  Youtube etc.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    To me, it sounds like the drive is simply having problems reading the disc - that is, it can load the table information, but eventually lose the audio stream (in whatever application you are streaming into... iTunes, Media pLayer, etc...).

  • Importing iPhone photos into Aperture?

    Hey, I moved my iPhoto Library into Aperture and consolidated or whatever it's called, so I've made the full move I think to Aperture, since iPhoto is really bloated and I like Aperture more, so I deleted my iPhoto Library.
    Now in iPhoto, it sort of made it easy for my to just plug in my iPhone and import any new photos, ignoring whatever I already imported, and it would save whatever photos I took to a corresponding date/event, and then it would also put those photos in a smart album for my iPhone.
    Now I'm still new to Aperture and I want to know how can I plug in my iPhone and import new pictures into Aperture which would put it as a new event, ignoring whatever I already took because right now when I do Import it shows all the current pictures taken with my iPhone, and I only want whatever picture that hasn't already been imported, and then it would put them in my iPhone 3GS smart album (pics taken with 3GS go there).
    Is there any way to do this? Aperture is a really neat program and I've already set it up with iTunes to sync the photos back to my iPhone.
    Here is a screenshot of my current setup on Aperture, I'm still a bit confused on how to do everything on this so I am learning! All the help given will be very appreciated

    There is a Check Box on the import panel that gives the option Do Not Import Duplicates. Ensure this is checked. Allan

  • Error importing iphone video to imovie

    I am trying to import iphone 4 video to iPhoto on MBP but getting an error.  Is there a video minimum time?  I'm importing videos 1 at a time, videos are about 3 to 12 minutes long.  All have .mov extension.  Getting an error.  What am I not doing correctly?

    I'm having a similar issue. I imported a video from my iPhone to my iMac. The preview of the video imported is perfect. Views same as on iPhone. However, when I select the clip for a "New Project" then the video is all messed up. I'd call it a cross from squished, to cropped to enlarged. Definitely not the same as what I imported and see in the original strip in the Event Window. Weird. 

  • Cannot play songs from iphone or ipad

    I'm sorry if this is a repeated question. But suddenly about 95% of my songs on iphone 3gs have turned into grey color and it cannot be played, either from iphone itself or from itunes in laptop under iphone device. It also happened to my ipad. All albums are transferred but they appear to be grey. 5% of the songs are still black and can be played alright. I'm so frustrated!! I did try everything. Please..if anybody can help me. Thank you...
    I'm not sure if this has anything to do with itunes 10 that I just downloaded or not

    It's that way because that's the way Apple designed it.
    I just merely wish to listen to them using itunes and my pc headphones while it charges the unit.
    You can still connect headphones to the iPhone and listen while your PC changes the iPhone. Until Apple changes things, that's it.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
