Editing video on mac desktop. In iPhoto and can't edit.

How can I edit video on my Mac desktop? Video is currently in iPhoto and I can't edit it. I need to rotate it.

You can do some minimal cropping of the movie file in iPhoto, i.e. change the start and stop points, but that's all.

  • I put my mac pro to share with my mac desktop.  Iphoto was upgraded from 8.2.1 and I can no longer access iphoto on the mac book pro. I have tried library manager but that does not work.  Any suggestions?

    I have a mac pro which I recently made to share with my mac desktop.  iphoto was updated on the mac pro from 8.2.1 and I can no longer open iphoto.  I get an error message You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.  The only option is for me to quit.  I have tried to restore with no luck.  I tried reinstalling using my Application CD.  Help?????

    when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

  • I purchased Mountain Lion on my MacBook and want it on my mac desktop as well. Can I download the same purchase on my desktopMac? and how do i do that?

    I purchased Mountain Lion on my MacBook and want it on my mac desktop as well. Can I download the same purchase on my desktopMac? and how do i do that?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you purchase Mountain Lion, you can install it as many times as you want on all your computers for free. To install it on the desktop, open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download OS X Mountain Lion.
    Another option is to redownload it on the MacBook, put the installer onto a USB drive and connect it to the desktop in order to upgrade

  • I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9.  Footage in iMovie is stretched.  Is there a way to fix that?

    I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9.  The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched.  I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

    It shouldn't be this way.  Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode?  Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright.  This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

  • My Mac desktop went offline and printer stopped working

    It means, tentatively, that system files are missing or damaged and you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard. See the following:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Photos on iPad and iPhone as Events that i have already deleted in iPhoto and can't find out how to delete?!

    Photos on iPad and iPhone as Events that i have already deleted in iPhoto and can't find out how to delete?!

    I had an album on my iPad that didn't have a delete option. I was able to finally remove everything by connecting the iPad to iTunes and going to the Photos tab. Select sync photos. It will ask you if you want to replace all photo on iPad with sync photos. Apply the setting and then un-sync photo again. It will then remove all photos on iPad starting with a clean slate.
    Be sure to backup all your photos before doing this. Hope that helps.

  • I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2 I want to buy iDVD and I Movie, but bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet.  Hesistant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?

    I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2.  I want to buy iDVD and iMovie, but I bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet.  I'm hesitant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?  They are probably on my Snow Leopard install disc, but I am now running Mt Lion that I bought, and downloaded a few days ago...so I don't want to insert the old OS disc, thinking it might want to reinstall the old OS...  Thanks,

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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.  

  • I have all the documents, but can't locate my discs - need iphoto and can't get without the original.

    I have all the documents, but can't locate my discs - need iphoto and can't get without the original.

    If you buy used you have to be careful.  I am not sure what software came with which system versions and which computers but the iLife application history is complex.  If you end up looking for "original" discs such as those that came with your computer, make sure iPhoto was part of it, and make sure the discs you buy are really identical to the ones for your computer model.  A lot of people sell gray colored discs as installer discs, but the versions are machine specific so getting any old Tiger installer may not work on your computer.  Unfortunately the universal Tiger installer may not have iPhoto. Maybe somebody more familiar with the iPhoto history can provide specific advice.
    An alternative is to look for a used iLife series that will work on your computer.  Again, this will have to be used.  Apple's staying ahead of the curve basically means those of us with old machines are left to fend for ourselves as best we can.

  • New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.

    I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL.  Is it not compatible?  Is it really a PowerPC program???  I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago!  Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.

    How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
    First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
    After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
    If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

    I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine".  I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). I can only access time machine  back up data that I've obtained since starting the new mac book pro.  Tnx so much

  • Recently updated to 3.8.2 v1.1 and since then my mac crashes a lot, and can't handle simple tasks. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I recently got told about the new software update for OS Yosemite.  It was version 3.8.2 v1.1 and since then my mac crashes a lot, and can't handle simple tasks. Like playing a 3 minute song, checking emails, and even whilst typing this its crashed so many more times than i've lost count. Has anyone else had this problem? And what do you recommend I do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I imported video from a card into IPhoto and it plays in slow motion.  Any suggestions? Would importing into IMovie help at all?

    Hello
    I am importing video and pics into Iphoto and the video plays in slow motion.  Would importing in Imovie help or does it have something to do with the type of camera or file the video is in?

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • Running Firefox 22 on Mac with no Adblock and can't get most videos. Works fine in Chrome & Safari.

    I am unable to run most videos in Firefox. Have v22 and have had this problem for a while with several versions on both my Mac and PC laptop. I've tried downgrading Flash, didn't work. I've checked, and I'm not running Adblock. I'm about ready to dump FF and use a different browser although I don't want to. Any help is appreciated.

    Safe Mode isn't practical for permanent use, but you can try making some of the changes in regular mode.
    (1) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox (this is disabled in Safe Mode)
    Un-check the box here and restart:
    Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (2) Check for and disable any nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the following tabs (these would all have been disabled in Safe Mode):
    Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    (3) If you use any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media, and you do not want to disable them, make sure they are as up-to-date as possible

  • TS2621 I have a Mac desktop for home and recently bought new iPhone 4s. I was receiving email on both, but all of a sudden am only receiving email on iPhone and not on iMac at home. How do I remedy this?

    I have an iMac desktop for home and recently bought an iPhone 4s. I was receiving my email on both, but now it only goes to my phone. How do I remedy this?

    My problem is the opposite. My desktop apparently removes the mail from the mail servers before my iPad can read it.
    One of my email accounts is a POP account. mail has a setting to leave the mail on the server, but I can't see that it makes any difference. The mail going to that account still doesn't make it to my iPad. I also have an IMAP account, but I don't see a similar setting.
    I would like to be able to use my desktop as my main email platform, but I also want to see the latest using my iPad when I am traveling.
