Exporting videos and photos from iPhoto

I have upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (Clean install) and downloaded the new iPhoto
but since then, when ever i try to export my videos, the program gives me Error message saying that "it can't copy the file".
and after deleting my photo library, and reuploading the photos and videos, MANY TIMES!!! i start facing a new problem:
the iPhoto was able to export the videos, but when i tried to play the videos i recieve error message "this video can't be opened"
of course i tried different programs and i got the same error; while the original files play normaly.
the other BIG problem, which i just noticed now, that iPhoto is deleting my GPS information from the photos after exporting them!!!!!
i had this MacBook Pro for a year, and i started to hate apple and MAC and I don't trust anything i do with it..
anybody can help me to fall in love with MAC again?!!?!
please help!

Thank you for taking the time and answering my question.
I decided to earse the disk, as i had so many problems with the laptop as it was extremly slow in almost everything.
and keep in mind that i only have Microsoft office 2011, and itune, iphoto, and recently i added Keynote, Numbers, Pages and ESET Cyber Security.
70% of my photos are still in an external hard drives as the original files, so i didn't backup them from the old version of iPhoto. The rest which i did back them up, i did through the Exporting option in iPhoto, using the settings as :
and that was ok, after doing the clean install of the OS, and upgrading to Mavericks, all the problems started with iPhoto.
For some reasons, iPhoto was refusing exporting the videos, and after different times of deleting the library and rebuilding it, iPhoto accepted to export the videos, unfortunately i didn't take a pitcure of the error message at that time. Now, this is what is going on:
It will export the videos and most of them they will have the icon of QuickTime, as not readable videos;
and when you try to open them this what you will get:
by QuickTime:
By mplayer:
and when trying the VLC or iTune, they simply do nothing, like you never loaded any files in them.
and i have used the ! ? alot, as it was the only way to express my anger, as since i decided to by a MAC, i have never had a good easy peaceful day with it.
thanks for your help.

The correct format to export videos and photos from iphoto to desktop

I need to export all photos/videos from iphoto to desktop and make a dvd.I learned that videos must be exported in "original" in order to actually see them on my desktop.But should I choose "original" format when exporting photos as well?I wanted to select=file=original for all together(making one big dvd), but will I be saving my photos wrongly?Should photos be saved in jpeg or another given choice?I just want to have everything finally saved on a dvd for keepers sake and finally go develop my photos.

Set the Kind to Jpeg
Then the Quality to to High
And that will be good quality

How can I import video and photos from iphoto to imovie?

Hi, I am having trouble importing media from iphoto into imove (imovie 10.5)
I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2013 running mavericks.
I have created an event in imovies into which I would like to import both photos and videos from my iphoto library. However, when the import window opens, the list of options from where I can import has iphoto, but it is not clickable; I can not open it.
I have successfully imported from iphoto in the recent past on the same computer, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
Thanks for any suggestions

OK, according to
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
your camera is supported by iMovie 9. Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum. Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

See if any of this info will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Can computer expert retrieve deleted videos and photo from and iphone 4 which the photos and video are not sync before? is there any tools or software to retrieve it?

No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

Export videos and pictures from an ipad to a camera kit using a sd card

i need to export videos and images from ipad mini to sd card using a camera kit, please help, and if so what app do i need to do that.

i did find another "scenic route" around, but it has some limitations, yet might be beneficial.
there is an ipad app called Easy Transfer. basically, it works through the web. you type in a web address it give you, and you can transfer files via the "refresh" button on your browser, and through your ipad.
the downer is, if you have a so-so internet connection, data is lost on video filles. i tried to transfer even a one minute video file, and it was missig frames when it got to my mac...sigh.
but, hey...it is another option, perhaps for some of you with cable modem or supa-fast webby web! ;-)

Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto.

Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto. This also does not work on my garageband for itunes music. I have tried backing my itunes media and rebuilding but it has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

Note that you have to actually run the update - where you get the window where you have the choices to "Update" or "Restore" your iPod (you'll of course want to "Update"). It sounds to me like you downloaded the updater but did not actually run it to update your iPod.
Hope this helps.

HT4910 how to move my videos and photos from ipad storage to icloud storage?

I would like to purchase more videos and music from apple store, however i dont have enough storage space left, i purchased more storage for icloud back up, now i am having hard time to move files of movies, photos and music to icloud back up storage and i still can not buy more movies or music. How to move things to icloud storage please?

iCloud doesn't store movies or music. It only allows you to redownload purchases from the iTunes store if you ever lose them (assuming they are still available to redownload, and in the case of movies, that the studio permits it.) Also iCloud only stores your camera roll photos in your backup, which can only be accessed by restoring your iPad to the entire backup.
iCloud isn't designed to do what you are trying to do. iCloud is for syncing data across all your devices and for backing up your devices, not storing your data. You use iTunes on your computer for that. iTunes will add your purchased videos and music to your iTunes library so you can remove it from your iPad and add it back later if you want. To save your photos you import them to your computer (and then delete them from your iPad if you want) as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Transfer hd video and photos from dslr

I have a Canon T3i DSLR that i shoot pics and HD video with. I travel alot and need to edit my photos and videos on the road. Even tho i have a first gen ipad which i LOVE....it's not great for photos, and i cant edit videos at all. So i am thinking of getting one of the new macbook airs that just came out today.
I WOULD go for the 11" high end model with 4G ram and 256 SSD flash drive.....but the only thing making me pause and think about the larger 13" version is that the 11" doesn't have an SD card slot.
I know i can get an external USB card reader and hook it up to the 11"....but would that be ALOT slower than transfering video and Photos on the 13" macook air by popping in the SD card into the slot? The new models both have thunderbolt....will thunderbolt SD card readers come out eventually?
If the ipad 2 transfered and edited HD video and photos, I'd nab that. But it doesn't.
If the 11" macbook air had an SD card slot, I'd nab that....but it doesn't.
ARGH! **** you Apple!!! Lol.
Even tho i have a big 65L Osprey backpack for travelling, I'd still like to pack as light as i can, since i will be treking all over the world. Cant check my backpack, but i have a smaller daypack for carry on to hold my camera and laptop.
The 13" and 11" macbook airs are both the same thickness. The 13" is only 1" wider and 1.5" deeper than the 11". So not TOO much bigger. The 13" is 2.9lbs while the 11" is 2.3lbs...so not a HUGE difference in weight.
So i guess it comes down to the SD card slot issue. Does anybody have experience with transfering video and photos to the 11" thru an external card reader? And if so, is the internal SD slot on the 13" ALOT faster when transfering? Or about the same? And lastly will thunderbolt card readers become available in the future u think?
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my questions.
Cheers!

Good to know that I am not the only one thinking about this. I currently have an 11" MBA. When purchasing I considered getting the 13" just because it had the SD card. However, smaller was more important to me. I have a canon 60D and I have transferred images using an external card reader and through a direct link to the camera - at the moment, neither are spectacular. I have also used a the SD card reader built into the iMac's - but even that appears slow with a 32Gb SDHC extreme card. I am hoping that the thunderbolt technology will lead to SD card readers - firewire and USB 3 have and since thunderbolt's transfer rates are ridiculous fast, taking advantage of it would appear obvious. However for the near term, I am looking into faster USB SD card readers. The best website that compares these, with every popular sd card imaginable, and on a Mac (as well as windows) is:
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/reader_report_multi_page.asp?cid=6007-9438
Until the first round of thunderbolt SD card readers become available, I will be holding off on the new 11" MBA - when they do... I will be itching to upgrade.
Good luck!

Unnamed Video and Photos in iPhoto '11

I am trying to clear all the unnamed items using iPhoto '11 but am running into a problem.
I have several photos and videos that show up as having unnamed items (Smart List settings where Faces = "unnamed") but when I access these photos and videos, there is no Faces box available to apply a name.
I have made sure that the photos are not cropped and are in the original state but still there is no unnamed box available. Does anyone know why iPhoto considers some photos to have unnamed faces but does not have any unnamed boxes in the associated photos?
For the video, I suspect from reading the forum that this might be an unnamed field held over from iPhoto '09 which apparently created a .jpeg placeholder for video in order to use the Faces feature with video. But, then this would apply to that .jpeg which shouldn't be around anymore. Has anyone seen this and, more importantly, figured out how to fix it?

The reason iPhoto 09 was able to apply faces to a video was because iPhoto created a jpg file of the video's first frame to use as the thumbnail. The faces were applied to that thumbnail.
iPhoto 11 no longer lets us use that thumbnail image for assigning faces. It wasn't accurate since it only represents the first frame of the movie.

MacBook Air does not turn on but does this damage it's hard drive ? Can I still save/ recover videos and photos from photo stream?

My MacBook Air was put on sleep mode and a couple of hours later I attempted to turn it on and no response. I called apple support and went through the process to try to power it back on and it would not turn on . Nothing would show on the screen and I heard nothing coming from my MacBook Air .
Is this because it overheated ? does this have to do with where it was charging and placed ? or is this because of battery/ power problems ?
I had no choice but to take it to the apple store for repair . Does anyone know if when this happens it ruins my hard drive ?? is all data lost ?
I have my sons memorable photo and videos on photo stream ? How can I recover that if it would turn on ? it is photo streaming with iPhone but only limited and no videos .. Can I get transferred/ photo streamed to windows computer?
Please help ..any ideas what went wrong and how to save my memorable home videos an photos of my son ?
Greatly appreciated

Well on the Air models there really isn't a traditional hard drive, it is a SSD/Flash drive that is integral to the system and can't really be removed or connected to another Mac for retrieving of files. So yes if you take it in and they have to replace the Logic board, The Hart Of the System, then more then likely all your files will be gone.
That is one reason Apple includes Time Machine for Backing Up the system including your files. If you never used Time Machione then eventually, At Some Point In Time, you will Lose all your data. That is a fact of all computers.

Recovering deleted video and photos from ipad or iphone

I deleted accidentally 3 Family videos from Hawaii plus some photos from my iPad. Now I am trying to recover them.
1st I stopped using the iPad so I would not overlap info.
2nd I did a backup on my MacBook into itunes
3rd I opened Finder, Go, then pressed alt to show the Library folder, Application support, MobileSync, Backup.
Picked the most recent backup and found all my files without any extensions.
copied them to another folder so I wouldn't mess with the originals. sorted them by size and added .mov and .jpeg to them.
the photos I recovered some but the videos only one that i forgot that I had deleted. Still the 3 most important Family videos I cant play.
Any ideas as to adding other type of extensions or I heard that they might be coded by mysql
Tried 2 recovery programs didn't work, no trace at all but the third trial program found them yet I am now reluctant to spend more $ for nothing.
Ideas to recover videos? please help, These steps might also help others for recovering just photos. Thank you!

Thanks for the advise unfortunately my iPad is running on ios 7.0.6
I wonder if I updated it, would capture the deleted in less then 30 days items. but worry if the update may override some data.
If in two week I don't find a solution I will try the update to 8 (before the 30days). and keep playing with the backup. Again, Thanks for the advise.

Problems saving Videos and Photos on IPHOTO (IMAC)

This is about the fourth time I've had my camera spazz out. This afternoon I downloaded my camera roll (little over 300 photos) to iPhoto and deleted the originals. Then discovered my new photos were not being saved. When I go into my camera roll to review there are just white squares.
It's extremely aggravating but I just restored and set up my Cannon Camara.
Y can t losse this material=. It' s extremely important for me. Work Stuff !!!

Wow. You post once at 4:19pm and then again one minute later wondering if the forum works? It's a forum not a chat room.
Here's some tips:
Patience. The people who repsond here are all volunteers giving of their time for nothing. Courtesy helps too.
Clarity: "spazz out" is not a term I recognise. Can you explain it - ideally not using slang terms. You get more help when people can understand what you're saying.
Ignore irrelevant information. How you feel about it is of no interest.
