Excluding videos from the upload?

Is there anyway to exclude videos from the upload to the iCloud library? I
n other words, i would like to keep my photos and videos in the Photos app, but only upload the photos..

Any items that have been imported to Photos, but are stored in there original location and not inside the Photos Library, will not upload to iCloud.  The only way to prevent selected items from syncing to iCloud is to import them to Photos with the Photos Preferences > General "Importing: Copy items into the Photos Library" disabled.  But that setup is not easy to manage consistently, if you continually have to switch between importing managed and referenced. It would be much simpler to move the videos to a second Photos library, that will not sync with iCloud.
By default, imported photos are copied into the Photos library. If you prefer, you can store photos and video outside the Photos library—for example, in a folder on your Mac or on an external hard drive—and still view them in Photos. If you ever need to move content stored outside the library into your Photos library, you can do that, too. For more information about changing where your files are stored, see Change where Photos stores your files.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • I recently purchased a video from the itunes store and successfully downloaded it to my ipad2. After syncing my ipad , the movie was lost and Videos App only shows Rentals, Podcasts, Music Videos, what happened to my purchased videos, please help

I am now getting a message saying (my ipad does not support movies I purchased) anyone else experiencing this problem, any suggestions?

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

  • I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive.  I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

    I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive.  I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected.  I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions?  I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

    The file sizes are identical.  In the finder I did a search for all .mov files.  Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find.  I am a new mac user and am used to windows.  I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me.  I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto.  Then the videos worked again.  However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that.  Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality.  Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

    Dear all,
    I want to automatically extract my iphone-videos from the iPhoto library since I have way over 25 000 objects in there. Afterwards I would like to import them into iMovie. Anyone having an idea? Or is there no possibility to do so?

  • How should I best import HD Videos from the new iPad to my mac without loosing video quality?

    The new HD video on the new iPad is awesome, but it can eat up a lot of memory in no time. I would like to know what is the most recommended way to export my ipad movies to iLife on my mac without loosing image quality, so i can free up space on my iPad.
    If I use iPhoto I notice that the file size of the video from the new iPad is a lot smaller then if I use iMovie to import the same video.
    Example: I import a 53 second video from the new iPad to iPhoto and the imported file has a file size of 143 MB in iPhoto. (iphoto save the video as IMG_0048.mov)
    I import the same video to iMovie manually and the imported file size is 843 MB in iMovie. BIG DIFFERENCE. (iMovie saves that same video as clip-2012-03-20 16;13;08.mov)
    Now to really be confusing: I go to Image Capture program and locate the file manually on my iPad and is has the same name and file size is what is in iPhoto.
    So either iMovie is making the File a lot larger when it imports to an event, or the file I'm looking at is actually the iPhoto version that I get because I sync with iPhoto.
    The second issue that I have is that now I have 2 videos on my hard drive: one in iPhoto, and one in iMovie for a combined data storage of close to 1 GB.
    I would like to be able to import ALL my iPad recording into iPhoto and then delete the video from the device when done.
    But if I loose video quality, I'm not happy about that. Secondly, by importing video from my iPad into multiple iLife programs, I'm creating duplicates with sometimes different quality. Any suggestions? is there a setting in iPhoto that can do all this for me?
    Robert

    Don't use iphoto to deal with movies. it's not really meant for that. use Quicktime or iMovie to work with your videos

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

  • Unable to download videos from the music store

    Hi, thanks for the help. I have been using itunes with an Ipod for several years, but recently upgraded to a 60G Video Ipod. I was trying to download a couple of videos from the store last week and recieved an error message. The message was;
    "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    Use the Check for Purchased Music command in the advance menu to try later."
    Any advice? I have been able to download music with no issues, its just the videos. When I sent an e-mail they blamed my Firewall, but I don't have one on my PC.
    Thanks
    Matt

    I was having the same problem and got the exactly same responce from tech support, ( the tech support is a joke) Here is what I finally did to get mine to work, the probleml was with my company firewall,
    These steps worked for me:
    Go under EDIT
    Click on Preferences
    Click on Advance Tab
    Under Itunes Music Location,
    Hit Change and write down the locaton incase the new locaton does not work for you.
    Under temp hit the New Folder button
    Delete the old location ( you might not need to do this )
    Type in new location
    I used the following: C:\TEMP\Itunes
    Hit the ok and it will take a few minutes to move all your libary to new location
    Go back to Advance
    Click on the Check for Purchased
    This worked for me and I hope this helps you out
    My personal opinion is that we pay big money for these IPODS and Apple cant even support us .....What a shame!!

    Computer specs:
    OS, CPU, RAM, GPU, vRAM ... and also disc layout & connections can be useful (as in, "2 internal hard-drives and an external on Thunderbolt connection for exports")
    Program specs:
    Specific build of Premier Pro from the bottom of the "About" splash screen off the "Help" menu is best.
    Footage file type: MXF, AVCHD, MOV, m2s, what?
    Even the camera it was shot on can be of interest at times.
    And did you use media browser to import, then project panel to drag & drop?

    how can I download a video from the net? is there is any special download softwear than realplayer?

    There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.
