Finally! An excellent way to get Youtube to iMovie

OK, I'm not exactly a computer expert, but I'm fairly savvy. Today I spent about 5 hours trying to figure out how to download a Youtube video to use on iMovie. I probably had about 5 software downloaded... MPEG Streamclip, Handbrake, 4Media Download, iSkysoft Video Converter. Nothing worked! I managed to convert video to FLV, but then couldn't use them. Kept trying one thing after another, reading comments and complicated directions for conversion. And I was going nowhere.
In the end, I finally found a fabulously simple way to download and convert Youtube videos to iMovie. I'd highly recommend it to everyone. Don't follow those super complicated directions.
Download this add on to Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-downl-10137/
Yeah! One click and it's downloaded to an iMovie readable format. Hoorah!

You can get an iTunes account and remove your CC info.
It's simply used to verify your address.
There are a few free songs & tv shows offered every week.
By adding the artwork to the songs directly, every song will have the artwork included as part of the song file. 100kB artwork for a 10 song album will increase the space used by 1MB. Multiply that times all your albums/songs.
If you use iTunes, it only adds 1 artwork for each album and links it to every song in that album.

Is there a way to get photos into iMovie 11 without using iPhoto?

I use PSE9 to organize my photos and don't want to use iPhoto. When I click on the little camera in iMovie, it only gives me the option of going to iPhoto. Thanks for any help.

If you can access your photos from a Finder window, You can drag and drop them into an iMovie Project from there. Just make sure they are in a stable place, because if you move them later, iMovie will not know where to find them.

Old movies already on DVD's...How do I get them onto iMovie

Have already transferred old VCR tapes to DVD. Is there a way to get them into iMovie ?? I can not import.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
I'd recommend reimporting from VHS to DV, but if you aren't prepared to do that you can convert your DVD's to DV with 3rd party software (I use mpegstreamclip - free, but you will also need the  QT mpeg2 playback component installed to use mpegstreamclip on mpeg2 files).

Is there a way to get phone numbers back on my iphone / or excel sheet?

Is there a way to get phone numbers back on my iphone / or excel sheet?
What I've done:
I've upgraded my iphone from 2.0 to 2.1. To be able to do this I've upgraded to the latest iTunes and switched my USB port several times until it was finaly installed. Then, despite iTunes taking 3 hours time for making backups, I found my phone to be completely empty when it was finished. So, I tried to restored the phone. This gave an error 1602 and bricked my phone. Tried it all over again two times more with same results.
The bottom line is that I have an empty phone and I really would like to have my phone numbers back. There's some 1.02 GB of backup information in the apple directory, so I guess they must be something there. But how do I know which file I need and how to decode it?

Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
"Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

What si the best way to export Final Cut Pro X movies to YouTube?

Hi
The Share > YouTube tool is proving to be very unrelaible. Often the Share Loader comes back with the "Your password has been rejected" message when I know that the password is correct. It seems to work fine for 50% of the time but it's really frustrating.
My videos are quite large (given that they are all under two minutes they have been shot in HD and are often over 1Gb - too big for YouTube).
What is the best way of getting my movies down in size and then uploaded to YouTube?
Thanks
Stephen

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm just rather reluctant to spend more money when FCP is meant to be good at this kind of thing. It's frsutrating thet the YouTube option doesn't work, but it clearly doesn't.
I think I just need to stop being a scrooge and to buy compressor!
Cheers

How can you stop the upgrade that you did on youtube so I can get it back or is there a way to get an app back once you delete it while it is upgrading

I want youtube back and I deleted it while it was upgrading but is there that you can cancel the upgrade that it is doing so I can have youtube back? is the a way to get an app back once you delete that app?

Again, all I can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

Is there any way to get the latest equipment? ( The Verizon anti-loyalty program.)

My DVR is the old 80GB model. The new 500GB model has been available to "new" customers for some time now. Current customers can only get on a "someday" waiting list. Full story below. Incidentally, this is the worst treatment I get from any service I pay for from any vendor. If I could get fiber from anyone else, I'd dump Verizon.
I am extremely unhappy with my FIOS service and the general treatment I have received in the last month. I have been a loyal customer of Verizon FIOS for a long time, years, I was an early adopter. I called in December (my contract was up again) and in order to renew I asked for an equipment upgrade (my DVR is too small). I was promised an upgrade and renewed my contract. I was sent to different boxes containing the same equipment I already have (which I returned). After many hours online and on the phone sorting this out of 2 weekends we finally sorted out the problem. The requested DVR model I was promised and have asked for since early December is only being given to NEW customers. As a loyal customer who has given Verizon thousands of dollars, I am punished by being denied access to modern equipment. I was told as a current customer I could sign up on a waiting list and someday the equipment will be offered to older customers (I can only assume after every new customer in the world signs up). I was alternately told by a customer service rep that the only way to get what I asked for is to rip out all my current equipment, send it in, make and wait for new installation appointments, and become a new customer. THIS IS UTTERLY REPUGNANT. I have been with Verizon for years. I believe I am not less important that anyone off the street that wants to sign up. Is Verizon willing to do anything at all about this? Is this my reward for years of paying Verizon, to be treated like a second class customer and offered untenable options??? I feel after all my loyalty and lots and lots of cash over the years I deserve the same thing as any other customer.

not sure I understand. You're spending your own money to buy a Tivo to use a service Verizon provides? Like instead of expecting them to keep your equipment up to date? (or at least allow you options equal to all other Verizon customers)
I have one TiVO HD now, and adding another would be great. Have you ever used a TiVO guide and actually got what you wanted to record? I pay TiVO $9.99 a month because my commitment is up, and Verizon $3.99 a month and get everything but Widgets I don't want. VOD they charge to much for, Remote DVR programming that only works when you don't need it. I have a 1TB internal drive I installed. Get my point?
Under $15 a month and does everything I want. I thought I missed the VOD untill I got it back for 2 months and decided I didn't need it. Multi Room, don't need it. Tried it once and canceled it. The only reason I have MRDVR now was to get the discounted HD boxes which they do now anyway. Shame they started that a month after I picked up the VZ DVR.
I did sugest that Verizon partner with TiVO and cut their development cost, and that was given a not likely response. Yea if Verizon offered a TiVO with the guide TiVO provides, TiVO VOD options, Verizon VOD options, Verizon Widgets, I would give Verizon $20 a month no problem.
I had a Verizon 6216 DVR for 4 years, a TiVO still for over a year, and now a 7216 for about 2 months. I like TiVO. Sorry Verizon.

Any way to get prior (non-iOS 6) version of iMovie?

Just saw a demo of iMovie and really liked it. I headed to the iTunes app store and was seriously disappointed to find that I could only use iMovie if I updated to iOS 6. That isn't going to happen. I use Google Maps every day and will switch to an Android based system before I will upgrade to iOS 6.
So, is there any way to get the prior verion of iMovie that works on iOS 5.1.1 or is Apple just trying to force people to downgrade to iOS 6? My guess is the latter.
Thanks
David

@hpr : I was running the dev version because it provided a LOT more stability with Chrome/Flash (while I waited to receive my "free upgrade to mountain lion" email from apple), and it also addressed the Retina font-rendering issues. Latest official Chrome release was super crashtastic for me -- multiple kernel panics daily. Apparently this is/was An Issue for the new rMBP + Chrome + Flash. Honestly, though, this thing reboots so freaking fast it wasn't even *that* much of an issue.
Finally jumping to Mountain Lion right now...hopefully that'll stabilize things. If not, back to the dev version I go. Chrome has spoiled me - I just can't deal with Safari anymore.
@Justan : Yeaaaaah, I figured that out after I installed it. Ah, well.

Is this a legitimate way to get FCP 5.1 cheaply?

Ok, so I'm looking into prices for FCP Suite. I know what the retail is and I've found cheaper pricing from alternate retailers. There is one deal I've come across that seems to good to be true (so it probably is). Here's the specifics:
- You get a "Final Cut Pro 2.0 Genuine Apple OEM CD with Serial Number"
- You also get a "Final Cut 5.1 Studio Upgrade Retail box (MA286Z/A )"
- Price: $899
The retailer also sells the 5.1 upgrade for $649. I know the retail for that item is $699. So, they're basically charging $250 for FCP 2.
Is this legitimate? Any worries that the FCP 2 serial number is bogus? There's no mention of anything being an academic edition, so I'm just wondering where the gotcha might be. I did see this note in Apple's store regarding the 5.1 upgrade:
"*Academic and not-for-resale versions of Final Cut Pro 1, 2, or 3 are not eligible for this upgrade."
I wonder if the OEM FCP 2 included in the deal is part of the excluded versions.
Jeff

Thanks for the reply JC. Of course I will ascertain the legitimacy of the online retailer, that's not really my question. I mentioned the possibility of a bogus FCP 2 serial # as only one issue and was asking that more of a general question of have people seen bogus sales of older editions of FCP as a way to get 5.1 cheaper.
The other major issue was the OEM description of the FCP 2 CD and whether it falls under the "not-for-resale versions" exception of the FCP 5.1 upgrade. Again I'm assuming that the retailer, legitimate or not, will claim that it's perfectly fine. So, I was asking for anyone who may have had personal experience with that here.

Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) from iphoto slideshow?

I have tried the iphoto forum and have been directed here. Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) for an export from iphoto slideshow? I want to export 200+ photos with random transitions and the ken burns effect. Imovie offers offers automatic ken burns effect via project properties but I can't find a way to add random transitions automaticcally. Is it possible? I want to add the exported file to a movie in Final Cut Studio. Normally I have to resort to using adobe photoshop elements 5 and premiere elements 3 on my bootcamp partition. I would love to do this all in Mac OSX - since leaving Windows, this is the only thing that forces me to use that lousy operating system!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have tried the iphoto forum and have been directed here. Is there any way to get 720x576 (ie DV Pal) for an export from iphoto slideshow?
Not directly. But you can do it with a bit of external help. Create a slideshow project in iPhoto using the "Random" transitions and auto KBE you want. Then export the slideshow as a 640x480 MPEG4/AAC 30 fps full motion MOV file. Drop the file to MPEG Steamclip and select the "Export to DV" File menu option. The select the DV format, PAL standard, and aspect you want. (I would normally select the "Frame Blending" option in the main menu when going from 30 fps to 25 fps.)

Is there any way to get around having to use iDVD to burn DVD?

Is there any way to get around having to use iDVD to export FCE to DVD?
I've been trying to burn a FCE2 sequence to DVD. A friend of mine told me all I had to do was put a blank DVD in, click on the icon on the desk top, export the sequence to Quicktime and drag the QT sequennce into the DVD icon and click burn.
Well something happened! But there's nothing on the DVD!! What am I doing wrong? I loathe iDVD. i don't want to author. I just want to burn the project on a DVD. Please advise. Thanks.

If you export a sequence at full resolution to can burn it onto a DVD as a data DVD, but this is for transportation purposes only. At full resolution the DVD, especially as it fills up, will not have sufficient throughput to sustain good playback of the material. That's why the material is encoded into MPEG-2 for DVD authoring. If you want to make a DVD for set-top playback it has to be authored to include the DVD format structure. There is no way around that. If you don't like iDVD, take a look at Final Cut Studio, you might prefer DVD Studio Pro. Or you might what to look at Roxio's Toast. It has basic authoring capabilities. Personally I don't think direct playback hardware solutions (except for seriously expensive ones) produce acceptable quality, but that's just me.

Upgrade to os4 - A way to get lost information - CONTACTS and TEXTS

I have been spending hours, and hours, trying to figure out what happened to this phone. I upgraded to os4, and when I did, I lost everything (contacts, texts, pics, apps, etc.), eventhough I backed up everything on a weekly basis. Not sure where Apple dropped the ball on this major issue. I have been looking for hours to find a fix. I came across a post that was helpful in finding a way to solve some of my problems, including FINDING MY LOST CONTACTS! I have to manually enter them into my phone again, but at least I have them! Like, me I am sure many of you don't memorize phone numbers anymore. I have just added to a post I found by Somebody2 on another forum (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11831613), as a starter, and added to it, to give more specific directions. I am extremely thankful; to have found this! I am still looking to find a way to get back my lost pictures, but that may be a lost cause. Hopefully this can help some of you out there, like it did me(....sigh of relief). Anyway, here is a way to find those lost contacts and texts:
Here are the main steps, assuming that you did backup your iPhone using iTunes recently:
1. Use the following tutorial to install FireFox with SQLite Manager add-in and point it to your backup folder:
http://www.skyontech.com/blog/iPhone-app-data-access
(**when following these directions, make a copy of the backup folder, and paste it on your desktop to make the overall process a little easier)
**2. Once you have opened SQLite, Click on the options (hammer/screwdriver icon) at the top. Change the "Default file extension for SQLite files" to mddata then click OK. Next, Click on the word "Directory" at the top, just under the menu bar. Then select choose "Select default directory". Choose the most recent folder inside the backup folder you copied to the desktop, then click OK.
**3. Now the more time consuming part (took me at least 30 minutes). Beside the word "Directory" you can now choose files from a drop down menu. The easiest way I found to do this is to click on the 1st one, then click go. You can continue down the list using the arrow key, and click go each time you go to a new file... As you do this, you will see the left side change. Sometime it has nothing (No directory found), and other times there is a list of menus (master table, tables, views, indexes, triggers). I found mine in the 38...range out of the hundreds of files.
**4. Continue to go through the files until you see "ABGroup" under the tables menu as an options (it does not show up under the "master table" menu, just under "tables").
5. Once you have found "ABGroup", Click on the "Execute SQL" tab in the SQLite Manager and copy/paste the following:
====================
SELECT First, Last, Organization, Note, value as Phone FROM ABPerson, ABMultiValue WHERE ABMultiValue.property=3 AND ROWID=record_id ORDER BY First
====================
Then click "Run SQL" button.
You should now see the list of all contacts backed up from your iPhone. You can also highlight all rows with the mouse and the SHIFT key, then right-click and select "Copy Rows as CSV for Excel", then paste them to Excel so that you can print your contacts spreadsheet.
NOTE: You can do the same thing for finding text messages. The only difference, is that you want to look for the word "message" under the tables menu instead of abgroup.
I have never posted here, but this was a HUGE help to me, so I thought I would try to share a more detailed way to get these back. I know it's not easy, but IT WORKS!! I am so relieved, and thanks a lot Somebody2!!!!
If anyone knows how to recover lost pictures, even if it is a process like this, please, please, please post it.

oops...ouch...hard way to learn to always back up your stuff
you "never" backed anything up?? not even an old backup someplace? you really don't have to answer...i'm just feeling your pain. difficult.

Finally! An excellent way to get Youtube to iMovie
