Cant drag or import any video files

I have a video new iPod and cannot drag or import any video files or pictures. I am able to use all the MP-3/audio files like a regular player. Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike
And Welcome to Apple Discussions
The video files that you are referring to are they bought from iTMS?
The new Video iPod supports:
"H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps"
So make sure that the video that your dragging over are in those formats.
Any video you might have you will need to add to iTunes and select "Convert Selection to iPod" or;
If you want DVD to iPod: use Videora iPod Converter, DVD Decrypter (Google for them they are free) and see my earlier thread for more info.
Check also this Videora Guide and iLounge Guide
Hope this helps.

  • Please help CS 4.2 will not import ANY video file

    I've been working for days to get this fixed. Everything installs fine software wise and I am using a
    Matrox RTX2 for capture/playback but Prem CS4.2 will not import any video file type.
    My system is up to spec.
    I've seen this problem discussed but none of the (many) suggested solutions have helped.
    I've uninstalled and re-installed the OS and clean install multiple times and still I get "file format not supported" with EVERY file type.
    Please help!
    Brian

    Brian,
    Welcome to the forum.
    When issues occur with Matrox cards, updating its drivers often fix things.
    If you create a non-Matrox Project, can you then Import AV files?
    Good luck,

  • Cannot import any video files.

    I installed CS3 Master Collection, I tried importing a video file into Encore and Premiere Pro and it worked fine. That was 2 days ago, now when I try to import the same video file into either program the 'Import as asset' window pops up as normal but just sits there and does nothing. Then the program comes up with (not responding) and I have to shut it down. I have not changed or installed anything new on my machine.
    Machine Spec:
    Vista Ultimate 64 (fully updated).
    Intel core2 duo E6750 2.66GHz.
    4 gig OCZ DDR2 PC8400.
    Gigabyte P35C-DS3R.
    Nvidia BFG 8800GTS.
    Creative X-Fi Extreme Music sound card.
    I have since uninstalled CS3 and reinstalled it and I am still experiencing the same problem. I can import any other type of file (images, audio etc) I am only having this problem with video files.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Keep in mind that Vista is good enough to boot your computer, loads a bealtyful GUI, wallpaper loads and mounts the desktop icons. After that the computer works fine. The clock is ticking on the side bar, pictures changes on the middle of this bar, some another gadgets loads and so on . After short period of time, the screen saver starts. Wow vista works great! This is all that vista is capable of. Our problems with vista begins when we click in something. Believe me, i have 26 years of experience with computers. Downgrade to XP64. Your CS3 will work without problems. I have a computer with quad core, 16Gbytes of 667RAM, quadro board, and even in this monster Vista do not works with a long sort of problems. After the downgrade, my problems dissapear. CS3 works very well.

  • Photoshop CC will not import any video files when I try Video Frame to Layers and New Video Layer from File

    Specifically I'm trying to import a .MOV I made in Quicktime. The file opens up everywhere else so it's not an issue with the file being corrupted. The error message I get from CC is
    "Could not complete command _____________ because the video file could not be opened."
    As far as I know I didn't save the .MOV with any permissions, but then again I have very limitted understanding of Quicktime. Originally the file was a .GIF that I converted to an .MOV because I wanted to edit the GIF using the video timeline instead of the animation timeline.
    Thanks for the help.
    Also, as an aside since I know a lot of Adobe employees are on here, the animation timeline is pretty crummy, there should be a way that you can open a .GIF into the video timeline as a video layer.

    Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
    Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
    By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
    Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

  • ITunes not importing any video files

    I just had to re-install OS X from disc. After the install, I was thrilled everything was right where I left it. My iTunes library is on an external Hard Drive, and iTunes remebered to look there, and everything was perfect.
    That is of course until I attempted to add a video file to my library. Nothing happens at all. No error message, no nothing. It just acts like I didnt ask it to do anything.
    To test it out, I removed a video file that played just fine in iTunes from the library. Then, I attempted to add that SAME video file back - and nothing happened. When you try to open it, nothing.
    I then tested audio and everything imported fine.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I've got EXACTLY the same problem. This didn't happen until iTunes 7.
    WHAT HAS APPLE DONE??
    I have spent three years transferring my own off-air TV shows to .mp4 files. I have hundreds and hundreds of hours of video in this format.
    The format has always worked perfectly, and they all used to transfer to iTunes with no problem at all.
    Now, however, all of a sudden dragging and dropping results in -- NOTHING.
    No explanation, no warning -- iTunes just acts as though I haven't done anything.
    The problem extends to my iPod with Video, too. I actually have about a dozen .mp4s on the iPod that still play absolutely fine.
    But when I try adding another file JUST LIKE IT, I get a message saying that the video file "cannot play on this iPod."
    I've tried converting these files to H.264 and to three other formats which my EyeTV app. says are optimized for the iPod. NOTHING.
    WHAT HAS APPLE DONE TO iTUNES??? And why aren't more people up in arms about it??
    More practically, can I solve the problem by deinstalling iTunes 7 and re-installing iTunes 6?
    Thanks.

  • Premiere cc 2014 crash after i import any video file...

    When i import a video, and then try to move it to the work area- premiere crash immediatey.
    Please help

    Hi,
    I would suggest using Premiere with the Quadro card. You can make that change under Program Files > Adobe > Premiere Pro > Right click on the exe and select Run with Graphics processor > High performance NVIDIA processor.
    You can permanently change it in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Add Premiere and GPUSniffer in the list and choose High Performance NVIDIA Processor. Report back if it helps you.
    Note: Don't forget to add GPUSniffer.exe
    Thanks,

  • Unable to import/preview any video file using Lightroom 5/5.2

    Hi,
    I am a fairly new user to Lightroom (around 4 months), and have been fascinated by the capabilities of this software when it comes to photos. From the start, I used to notice (but chose to ignore) that lightroom would not be able to import any of my video files successfully (all in supported formats such as avi, mov, mp4, usually mov from my Nikon DSLR). Recently, I have started digging around to find a solution for this and fix this issue of not being able to preview or import any video file. I have gone through most of the related posts around the interwebs about this (including installing QuickTime, checking my AntiVirus, checking specific processes whether they are running or not). As a last attempt to resolve this, I am hoping to get some expert help on this form. As a sample of the error message which I get to see everytime is attached below. Also given below is my system info. I can provide further debugging information if required, but I really, desperately want this to work and be able to import videos. Thanks a bunch!

    hopes this help.

  • ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

    iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
    I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
    iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
    Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

    So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
    So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
    So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
    I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
    I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

  • ITunes 11 won't import .mov video files from external hard drive but will from internal.

    Hi Everyone
    I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
    I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
    The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
    I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
    Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
    Many Thanks
    Dave

    This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
    Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
    How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
    Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
    Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again.

  • Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3.  Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

    Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems.  Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4).  Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade.  After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present).  Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture.  Anybody else having similar problems?

    Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist.  Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system.  We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files.  Totally frustrated.  Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality.  Was also running dog-slow.  Constantly looking at the spinning wheel.  Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine. 
    Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues.  Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
    I had to:
    1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
    2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
    3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
    4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
    5. Reinstalled iLife apps
    5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
    Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was.  Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
    I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!)  by installing Lion.

  • How do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto?  Photoes came across, video said incompatible.

    how do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto?  Photoes came across, video said incompatible.
    i have moved from a mac pro to a mac mini,
    Mini now has mavericks and latest iLife stuff, I clicked import, was all good, then at end, no videos came across.
    Is Mavericks,/iPhoto having a compatibiltiy issue with some video formats....???
    Your help is appreciated gang.: )

    Please describe exactly what you did. In moving to a new machine no importing is involved. The best way is to simply connect the two computers together and drag the iPhoto library from the old one to the pictures folder go the new one and launch iPhoto

  • I can't Import any .mpg files?  (Trial Version)

    Whenever I try to import any .mpg files, after effects says the file [Name of file] is either damaged or unsupported.  No matter what I do I can't seem to import any types of videos.  The files are not copied or editted yet and play on any type of media player so they are not corrupted.
    -Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4 (last version updated) for MAC

    I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4

    in the beginnig it was  working, just after installation and update... now nomore...
    I use .mp4 files

    the error says "was not able to import video files"
    thanks

    Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
    I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
    So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!

  • Can't import any video inAE CS 5.5

    Just had AE installed and I can't import any video (.avi or .mov.)  They show up grey and then if I try all files it says "it's a bad format or not readable." Two error messages about unknown exception and missing output plug-in show up when I opne AE.  I have AE CS5.5, 10.6.8 Mac, QT 10 in applications file and QT 7.6.6 in utilities just installed today.  I tried throwing out preferences but nothing seems to help.  Plaese help me.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and reinstall. Also make sure you get rid of Perian, if it's on your system...

  • 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.

    A previous poster with a Toshiba posted how he installed a generic driver. If I recall it was

    Remove the display driver from Device Manager.
    Reboot declining prompts to install a driver.
    Run the generic installer program.
