How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

How can I get videos from iTunes US, living in Switzerland?

Hi guys =)
I have already pre-ordered the iPod Touch and alomost can't wait until the 2nd October =P
Well, I am a big fan of Dr House and Desperate Housewives. I saw that I cannot buy videos on the swiss iPod Store.
I wanted to know how I could get videos from the US iTunes Store. Is that possible? And if it is do I need a credit card or a gift card?
Hope it'll be clear enough... Usually I don't explain the things very clearly =P
Thanks for your help

Deggie - what is better fraud or theft? To get video content on my iPod Touch I'm going to have to resort to one or the other. Your ethical advice would be appreciated....I spent 500 EUR on this, now I want my money's worth.

How do i get videos from limewire to videora

Ok how do i get videos from limewire to videora.
Can someone explain to me
that might be what im doin wrong

First of all Limewire isnt illegal because it uses the money from the ads pay for the songs.
Second Its really simple.
After you download the video from limewire open up your videora iPod Converter.
From there click on the "Convert" tab in the left display panel
You will see a "Transcode New Video" button. Click on that and it should bring you to a folder of all your videos. If you dont see the video you want to convert then click on the dropdown arrow where it says "Files of Type" and select all files and choose from there
Once you select your movie click open
Then click the start button right near the "Transcode New Video" button
Wail till your download is finished(this could take hours or seconds so be patient)
Once your video is done being converted click the "Setup" tab to the left.
Find where is says "Output Videos To" and copy the destination.
Paste that destination in internet explore and it will bring you to the folder with the converted movies
Bring into iTunes and enjoy
Make sure you have the specific iPod Converter from Videora

Problem getting video from firewire camera

I've written a small app that gets video from camera and
publishes it through FMS(2). It works well with any USB webcams I
could find, but I have problems with firewire cameras. I can select
the camera in Flash settings, and getCamera() returns the
appropriate Camera object (e.g. it has the correct name, "Microsoft
DV Camera", which is what's its name in Windows), but I get
no/blank video.
Code snippet:
var myCam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
Alert.show("Using " + myCam.name);
videoDisplay.attachCamera(myCam);
The same code and the same camera seems to work on OS X. I've
tried out two different firewire cameras on two different Windows
(XP) machines, and they consistently didn't work. They do work in
Flash Media Encoder (I'm not sure if it was written in Flash
engine), or other programs that do capture in Windows; but my
problem is that I need to inject metadata (stream.send()) into the
stream so i can't just use FME :(
Any ideas why this doesn't work? Do firewire cameras have
issues with flash/flex (for the reference, I'm using Flex2/Flash9)
on Windows XP, or am I doing something wrong here?
Senko

HI -
MPEG Streamclip does not act as a connection device between your camera and Final Cut.
It is a stand-alone application that converts the files from your camera into files that are useable in Final Cut.
The reason Final Cut does not "see" your camera directly is that the files are not usable in Final Cut - as recorded by the camera. Those same files are seen and imported in iMovie because iMovie is designed to support a wide variety of consumer formats, and converts them automatically on import to a format the iMovie can use. FCE does not have this feature for .mpg movie files. But the format the iMovie converts to is one that is not optimal for FCE.
Once you have converted the files that you want to use in MPEG Streamclip, you can store those converted files on your disk drive in a folder. Then open FCE an go to the menu File > Import > Files and navigate to where you have stored your converted files. Select them and the will be imported into FCE.
It is preferable to import using the MPEG Streamclip method, because the files that iMovie makes, are borderline usable in FCE, and if possible, should be avoided.
Hope this helps.

Getting video from Sony Handycam DVD 403

Hello everyone.
I'm hoping somebody has experience getting video from a Sony Handycam DVD 403 into iMovie6. I'm having troubles getting what I expect to happen to actually happen.
I hooked up my Handycam to my PowerBook which the OS recognized as a DVD recorder. The disc I had in the camera at the time had about 20 minutes of video stored in a unfinalized state. Finder showed an empty folder.
I tried entering iMovie and seeing if there were any tools in there that would help me but I couldn't find any. Nothing I did would show me the various clips that made up the 20 minutes of footage.
I was ultimately able to get the video in a round-a-bout way by Finalizing the disc, extracing the resulting VOB from DVD, converting it to mpeg4 with VideoLAN, and then adding it to my clips in iMovie. However, this has two aspects I don't really care for:
1) It took a couple of hours to do this. (I wasn't paying attention the whole time, but definately more than 90 minutes and less than 180 minutes).
2) It made one large mpeg4 file. I would rather have had multiple smaller files that were originally on my camcorder.
Does anyone have any tips or links to help me get the video straight off of the camcorder and into iMovie without resorting to VideoLAN and mpeg splitters (I haven't tried any mpeg splitters yet, but I'm guessing that is what I need to do to get my video clips into reasonable sizes).

Thank you for the reply.
This makes me sad, of course. When I bought the camcorder 6 months ago I had know real idea what I'd be using it for... just knew I wanted to record family gatherings, etc and have a DVD to watch when I was done. If I had planned ahead a bit more I would have got advice from the message boards first.
Until I can find somebody willing to buy this device from me I guess I will have to make do with the long way around.

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
If you use iPhoto for this with any other digital camera, you can use iPhoto for this. Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you don't use iPhoto.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

Can't get video from camera update / suggestions?

As I think others have reported, I have lost my ability to participate in iChat AV video sessions, and any attempt produces a "can't get video from camera" error message. I am running OS 10.4.5.
I have an extra internal hard drive with no OS on it, so I did a clean install of Mac OS 10.4 and iChat was back to working. I then applied all the Apple Software Updates to bring it up to 10.4.5 as well as any othe Security Updates and such, and it is still working OK as long as I boot off that OS.
This tells me the problem cannot be in my Router or DSM Modem, I think.
In the past, I have had ShowMacster and iGlasses installed on my original system, but I believe that I have uninstalled both of those properly. Still does not work.
I DO have Apple Remote Desktop - Admin installed on this startup volume, and I cannot say for sure whether the problem may have started around the time I installed it. It's possible, I just wasn't keeping chronological records of installs back then.
So, the GOOD news is that I can participate in any iChat AV session I want to be in as long as I have prior notice or enough time to reboot my G5 PowerMac under my second drive, but I still can't keep iChat AV open on my main drive and expect to be able to respond to impromptu invites to a video session.
I thought I may have read that Apple Remote Desktop can create a conflict. If anyone knows, I would be all ears! Thanks for any suggestions.

I believe I have solved the mystery of why I was getting the "can't get video from camera" error message. I had said earlier that I had Apple Remote Desktop (admin) loaded on my Mac but that I did not normally have this application open. What I failed to realize, though, was that for some reason I also had Apple Remote Desktop set to ON in my Sharing System Preferences pane. All I had to do was to uncheck this box and my ability to carry on video chats returned.
I expect that somehow in the process of installing and running the Apple Remote Desktop application to access another Macintosh on my home network, I must have either manually or automatically caused Apple Remote Desktop to be turned ON as if I was wanting to allow some other Admin user to connect to my Mac. Doesn't make much sense to me, but I am happy with the solution.

Found an error related to "can't get video from Camera"

So, I am back with the same issue: it is now 3-4 months I can't Video chat because iChat AV tells me "can't get video from camera". I disable the firewall (for the test), I forwarded nearly ALL the TCP and UDP packets from my router to the mac, I stopped any application such as PostgreSQL or others which might interfeer. I checked I didn't have any strange firewall rules still on even when switched of from UserPreferences (sudo ipfw list)...
Well, I can see myself with the camera but it won't get the image of the party I am connecting to. So... I looked in the console and:
2006-03-04 19:09:14.926 iChat[9245] WARNING: Freeze-frame failed: couldn't get local buffer for layer Local!
Each time, this is the message.
I did the downgrade Quicktime test I also reinstalled the combined update... nothing worked.
It seems CRAZY that nobody at Apple can at least tell me WHERE to have a look. After all the message is not very clear. Where is the problem? My mac, my router, iChat?
I filed a bug BTW... because it DID work in the past and now stoped working, so my netgear router can't be in fault (I also checked the logs of the router and of the firewall... nothing seemed to be stoped)
Alex

Hi Alexander,
Defcom aslo has a Netgear And I will let him come back on that side.
On the error front iChat has about 4 standard messages.
1) User did not Respond.
2) Insufficient Bandwidth.
3) Can not get Video from Camera
4) Did not get data for 10 secs
Unfortunately the causes can overlap, hence the lack of Ahaa !!
The most common feature of all of them is something to do with the way the routing devices are set up.
This leads us to start with the LAN set up,
The ports that are open,
the method used to open them,
Whether DHCP is being used with Port Forwarding as the IP can change to your computer and the Port Forwarding point to the "wrong" IP
How many devices are in the link to the Internet ?
IF you are doing NAT (Port Forwarding or Port Triggering) ?
Whether your ISP has started dong NAT to your service
Whether they offer a SIP based Service like VoIP phones.

IChat Error: "Can't get video from the camera"

When I try to Screen Share with iChat on a local network, I receive the error "Can't get video from the camera" when I have an external camera plugged into the FW400 port on my Mac Mini. The Screen Sharing feature works great when the camera is not connected. Anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

Tell us about the Network you created please.
What make and model modem ?
Can it route (issue IPs) ?
IS there a router ?
Make and model of that please ?
If there are two devices which is doing DHCP if any are ?
IS there any computer that is sharing it's Internet Connection with any other computer ?
I take it from the title and the post that you infer you can Video and Audio chat ?
The Cannot get Video from Camera normally gets and Error Log pop up.
This can be opened with the reveal triangle on the left. The Details shown will have a Error number. Do you know what this log says ? (normally Error 20 or 21)
Old logs are stored in Users/(your account)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors by date.
IF you post an Error Log stop at the line that Says "Binary Images for iChat" as we don't need the bits below that yet.
As the Screen share in iChat uses an Audio component then the Camera if it is also the Mic needs to be ON.
In your case this may mean that in the ichat Video Menu both Camera Enabled and Mic Enabled should both be ticked.
(I have never seen an iChat error code for not (specifically) being able to get the Mic input so the message might be the only one iChat can pop up)
It does seem very odd that it only effecting Screen Sharing.
I have a Firewire connected DV converter that has two Firewire ports itself so I can input the camera feed to two computers. When this is in place the System also sees it as a Network.
I have also heard of one person with a Firewire Stills camera and I think the Storage space was seen as an External Device and therefore appeared Networked which is why I asked the first set of questions.
iChat does not like being in Two networks (a modem that issues IP address and a router doing the same or Wireless to a neighbour and Ethernet to your Own Internet connection, the Mac being the hub in a Share Internet connection, Wireless and Ethernet to the same router and using Parallels when set to Share the Mac's IP are the most common)
The Screen Sharing option in iChat > Video Menu is ON ? (at both ends ?)
As iChat's Screen Sharing is related to the System Screen Sharing and therefore Apple Remote Desktop you may find that in any routing device you may have to open ports 5900 and 5988 if not using UPnP
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629?viewlocale=en_US
You said Local Network. Do you mean this is using the Bonjour Buddy List ?

Airport & Can't get video from the camera

Ok, So I've been reading through the discussions trying to figure out what's wrong, and then how to fix it. I keep getting error "Can't get video from the camera"
Here's my setup: OSX 10.4.4 on 1 Ghz PB. iChat 3.1.1, I'm connecting using a Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge with an analog camcorder attached. I can get a video preview, but no video chats.
My connection is via a DSL modem (Cisco 725) and my ISP says all the ports needed for iChat are not blocked. my local network goes from the Cisco to an Airport (dual ethernet) which then distributes the IP addresses.
I've read that airports need to be switched so that they do not control the IP addresses, but when I do that my network stops working. Is there any way around disabling the NAT on the airport?
PowerBook G4 1MHz/1Gb Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi EdM
I think that I'm starting to see the light... Let me see if I have this right.
My PB has an IP of 10.0.1.4 via Sys Prefs, etc..
And the Airport is 10.0.1.1 and is distributing IP addresses (hence the 10.0.1.x IP numbers - right)
Yep (so far)
So using Terminal I need to type:
set net entry add 10.0.1.4 5060 udp
...and so on...
Nope. You need to have Distributing Addrress deselected in the Airport if it is in the link
With the Modem doing DHCP you should get an IP from it (mostly 10.0.0.3 as the Airport will also be given one)
Once the Modem's issued IP appears on the Mac then you log on to the modem (10.0.0.1) in Terminal, and Forward the ports to the IP the Mac gets.
Your wife's PC is also likely to need some ports open for her Apps and this will be a different IP.
I have only brought some of the details from the Port Forward site so I would make sure you check any Read Me or manual (On the CD ? web site ?) that might give you more clear instructions.
I would set it up with the Airport Out of the loop first as this will confirm the modem is in DHCP mode (you will not get an IP otherwise).
