Clips in wrong order after importing

Hello,
I have a digital Sony camcorder HDR-SR7E. I had a 7 day trip and filmed a lot. When i was importing it to imovie all seemed fine but after importing it all the clips were in the wrong order. And i belive there is no way of sorting the clips or is there?
I found something called pane reliever for imovie but the download link is not working. Or maybe someone else has any experience with this kind of a problem.
Thank you very much for any replies,
Madis

And i belive there is no way of sorting the clips or is there?
Not from within iMovie '08. You can however, download and open a utility called "A Better Finder Attributes", close iMovie '08, open the problem events folder, drag and drop your imported clips to the utility, change the "creation" dates and/or times, and then re-open iMovie '08. If all went well, your "Event" clips will be re-ordered during the initialization "scan" according to their creation dates/times within the event.
I found something called pane reliever for imovie but the download link is not working.
This utility appears to have been written originally for OS 8 and 9 and carried over to OS 10.1 thru 10.3 but I don't see any reference to OS 10.4, OS 10.5, or use with iMovie '08. I would stick with simply changing the Finder attributes for the files.

Movie clips have wrong time when importing

I use to rename my images before importing to iPhoto. I copy them from my camera to a folder in the desktop, rename everything to my like using Adobe Bridge, and then I import them to iPhoto. That way the name of a file usually corresponds to the one in the internal Library (control-freak as I am). That said, I never mess with the Library.
But I'm having this problem all the time: After importing, all the image pictures are listed on the event accordingly to their correct date/time, but the movie clips are not. They always have an irregular variation in time, sometimes with a difference of several hours, that I have to change manually using iPhoto "adjust date/time" to have them sorted ok chronologically. The strange thing is: that EXIF data is correct in Bridge! I even use this to view/reference the correct time in Bridge, and change it on the movie file already imported in iPhoto.
Could this be a bug in iPhoto, or is there something wrong with my way of importing? Again, it happens only to the movie files, not the images.
Thanks.

Thank you. I didn't know that.
But still, for me it's a common issue to have iPhoto reading a wrong "File Created" data on my imported movies, even though it seems to be OK on the original file. Does it ever happen to you, know about that issue? Sometimes I have ten or more movie clips in an event and it's a bit of a hassle to restore manually the correct time for each one.
Maybe it's Bridge fault, maybe it's iPhoto, maybe my workaround is the only answer to this "bug"?
Thanks again.

IMovies Changing Order after importing from DVD to iMovie

I take a burned DVD from our camera and then import it to iMovie. When I do this, after I get through importing it into iMovie, it changes the order of the film. Why is it doing this and is there a way to keep the order in place??

I'm not familiar with those 'DVDcorders', but what I've read here so far, the problem is: iM isn't able to read out the meta-data on some of those disks which create the time-stamp. instead, it catalogs by date-of-import
two things .. :
• check, time/date is set in your recording-device ..
• iM09 has a feature, to set the recording date (and time) of a clip manually after import; read iM's Help how to accomplish that ..

Changing track order after importing

I am trying to import opera CDs into my iTunes library. Operas usually take up 2 or 3 CDs, and when I try to upload the multiple CDs to my library, iTunes mixes up the order of the tracks so that I can't listen to the opera in order. How do I change the order of the tracks in the iTunes library so that I can listen to the opera in order?

Try this, I found that it works for me. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album by year column. If you like you can then click on Artist, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Track Number>Album>Artist. Make sure the little triangle on the right side of the track number column header is pointing up. In that direction the column is sorted in Ascending order (lowest to highest).

Incorrect order after importing multiple files into iMovie 11

If I use Toast to burn multiple .DV files (converted by Toast) using compress onto a single layer DVD, I get a pause between each file, so I wanted to put them all into the one file before burning.
Problem.
Imported 5 .DV filles into iMovie 11 New Event as a block. Exported as Quick Time. Found file order not correct, eg File 1 was in position 4.
Tried importing in 1, 2 order and it appeared as 2, 1. Imported in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 order but it turned-out to be 2, 3, 4, 5, 1.
File 1 was the last one converted, so it appears iMovie puts it in date/time order. I can't find a 'sort' like iPhoto has. Also, I can't find anyway of sorting in this forum.
Does anyone know of a way to sort New Event videos so that I can drag them all to the project in one go? I've tried one-by-one, but get a gap in between each one.
Alternatively, how do I drag each New Event video to the Project without any gap between them?
Before you suggest it, I've tried iPhoto and export as Slideshow. Problems. Converting orig to .Mov (HD) eventually produces bad vieo after a hugh amount of total processing time and iPhoto deosn't recognise .DV.
Any ideas?

Since my posting, I've found a way to do what I wanted.
Set 'Drag to adjust number of frames per thumbnail displayed' slider to All. This creates a single frame for the whole file.
Moving the cursor over one frame displays its contents and I can work-out which is the first, etc.
Select the whole file by pressing Option before clicking on the one frame.
Drag the file to the lower part of of the Project window (automatically puts it into the next position).
This gives me all the files in the correct order and with nothing missing or gaps.

Help, clips "frozen" and blank after import

I imported about 7 minutes of footage from my Panasonic DV cam. Everything looked fine as I scrubbed through it and added clips to the project. I did let iMovie do image stabilization. I added a few titles, and let the project do the "scrapbook" template, and things looked great. I added a song or two, and was adjusting where they begin in the timline, and all of a sudden, my clips were "frozen". I mean, as I would run the mouse over them, there was one frame that played, and nothing else. There were 4 clips like this.
I decided to just replace them with the clips in the lower part of the iMovie window, because they still played fine. I deleted the ones that were messed up, then drug the clip back into the top part, and then they too were broken. Then, in the lower part, the same clip that played fine 5 seconds ago, is now black. (no video)
Any ideas?

No, I didn't try restarting my computer. I don't think it will help, but I will try. I had to pretty much scrap my whole project. I used time machine to get a copy of the files from the night before. This at least saved me from having to capture all over again. (not to mention waiting on the processing time for stabilization)

HD clips have video stutter after import

New problem with Sony HDR-SR5 import:
2 of 10 clips from recent vacation have video stutter/jerkiness upon import. All other clips are fine. The two clips that stutter in iMovie 08 play fine on the videocamera. I have never seen this before. I have reimported the abnormal clips, but no change. The audio is okay; it is just the video Any ideas?
Mark

*How comforting* ( for me alas ) to find I'm not alone with this problem.
Config: iMac-Intel - 2,16MHz, 1Go RAM, 320Go internal drive, 500Go USB external drive, OS-X 10,4,11 ( Tiger ) IMovie 7,1,1, SONY HDR-SR5E
My first few imports worked fine, then Imovie started to quit and 2 other movie sequences were corrupted ( stuttering image ) no matter how long they lasted or which HDD I decided to store them to.
Apparently other posters have signaled this to Apple, but that unfortunately does not help us getting on with our respective work.
It would seem there are only 2 solutions while we wait -
FCE = hand in wallet, or
Just copy the files from the SONY directly to a HDD location and wait for the Imovie issue to be solved.
Maybe unplug my Firewire Presonus Firebox ?????
All futher comments and possible work-arounds welcome naturally.

Photos on iPhone in wrong order after sync with iMac iPhoto

I just purchased my iPhone 6 and am trying to get it all set up with my photos stored on iPhoto on iMac. When I sync phone using iTunes all of images sync over. Not a problem. But here's where the issue is... On my iMac in iPhoto, all photos are displayed correctly with right time and date (along with locations). However, once syncing to my iPhone, a select 6 photos (random ones) are being displayed as taken most recently (yesterday) with wrong location. To be clear, this isn't under events but rather "Moments" on the Photos tab on iPhone.
What is going on? It looks fine on iMac. I have never adjusted the time and date of these photos so not sure how this is even possible. I'm using iOS 8.1. Thanks for your help!

My iPhone 4 camera roll decides to rebuild the library every once in a while and everytime this happens, it moves my most refer pictures and places them some where in the middle of the camera roll, making my last pictures I took with my 3Gs the most recent ones showing at the bottom. Small inconvenience but it looks like someone at Apple screwed up in setting up the sequence numbering of these pix and now it's a pain for the end users.
Has anyone experience the same issue and been able to successfully solve the problem? Please help.
Thanks

IPhoto '08: Wrong orientation after import

Hello community,
I have the problem, that portrait photos will be imported in iPhoto in the landscape mode.
My system is 10.8.2 and iPhoto ’08 (version 7.1.5).
The photos will be imported from a Pentax k-x, but the problem still exists, when they will be imported from the Finder.
In any other applications (for example Finder, Preview, Quicklook, Safari, GraphicConverter, Photoshop Elements) the pictures will be shown in the correct orientation.
Things I’ve tried:
- New user
- Rebuild/repair the library
- Deleted the com.apple.iPhoto.plist
If I open the picture in Preview and save it without changes, the picture will be imported correctly!
Any ideas to solve the problem, so that the import will be work correctly again?
Thanks in advance and best regards

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does then a reinstall of iPhoto may be indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

User Profiles are the wrong style after importing/migrating site collections from other SharePoint versions

I manage a couple of different version of SharePoint, which we are in the process of migrating to SharePoint 2013. I have a problem which I am not sure how to resolve. We are using MetaLogix to migrate site and site collection data from an older SharePoint
2007/WSS3.0 server environment into our new SharePoint 2013 environment and we are having a problem with user profiles that get created.
I have SharePoint 2013 set up for "SharePoint Profile Synchronization" and some of our user's profiles are being created in an older format that shows the user's claims account information, rather than the more fancy profile type that allows us
to include pictures and click on "follow this person" links.
If we manually delete the profile, it will be recreated properly however, as we are migrating many sites and collections over, it is near impossible to do this and keep track of each user so that their profiles can be deleted and recreated.
Is there some way to change this behavior so that SharePoint will only create the newer style of user profile?

These 'profiles' are you looking at them in the User Profile Service Application itself or are you looking at site collections? There is a huge difference between the two but people often miss it.
In most cases you'll have some partial information on the Site Collections but when you click through to their actual profile (not just their User Information List entry) you'll see the prettier version. That information is normally internally synchronised
by a timer job but that may not have run yet and/or the fact that your users haven't actually used the site may be causing it not to update them (it's an efficiency matter).
Finally: Drop your sales guy at Metalogix an email, they will bounce it to one of their techies and they'll have seen it a million times.

Try clicking on one of the column headings to sort the playlist. I'm not in front of my Mac right now, don't recall which column provided the correct sort information.

How do I rearrange order of imported clips?

Hi there,
I have imported a large series of clips from a bin of the browser into the timeline.
They appear in the wrong order -- from older to newer --
Is there any simple way to have them appear in the opposite order or do I need to import them again and one by one ?
Thanks in advance
Ivan

You can just hit the tab at the top of the bin to reorder them in reverse - for instance by name, duration etc then bring them back onto the timeline...

All clips missing after import from camcorder!

All clips are missing after import from camcorder - Canon ZR20. For some tapes all clips are there, for others there are none. All the files are there in the finder, but I don't know how to have them show up in Final Cut Pro X.
Any suggestions?

Ok - this is frustrating. I have been importing my old miniDV tapes again into FCPX as I wasn't able to transfer all of these projects from iMovie - don't get me started... After importing about 7 of the tapes the first 3 came in fine, but the last 4 didn't have any clips as I said in my original posting. Now after restarting FCPX a couple of times all of a sudden the clips are all coming in! Strange! Guess I'm OK now.

Wrong order on cd after burning

for some reason, the playlist that i have is not burning in the same order onto a cd... the songs have numbers on them and i made sure that i clicked the album order in the playlist.. but it still burns in the wrong order... alphabetically
help? please

I went into INFO & added 01, 02 at the beginning of each title.
I burned the CD.
It looks like it's out of order, but it seems to play in the order I chose.
I printed the CD insert in the order I wanted, and the guy I'm giving the CD to can put them in the order I chose.
This should be easier than it is. Esp. when giving a gift CD, the order of the songs is important. I don't know why there are several questions on this site with the same problem. APPLE - make it easier.
