Ghost icons of imported videos are driving me crazy

Hi all,
I searched and searched but I don't think anyone has my problem. I imported a bunch of videos from a trip via the Apple Camera Adapter, and the videos were on my iPad and consuming about 20GB. I tried to clean them, but they don't exactly go away. They become these ghost icons on my iPad and viewed from iPhoto. Deleting videos were often crashing iPhoto and the deleted ones were coming back to life, but after many tries I think they are just now ghost icons and are staying dead.
I just want to know how to eliminate them for good. I am running iOS 7.1.
Here are the screen shots I took. First I deleted a bunch, notice that iPhoto actually skips files when I tried to delete
Then some of the videos actually came back! Crazy huh? (Both screen shots were at the top of scrolling)
I finally got them all. Now they won't go away.
When I tried to tap one of them, it will give me the following error message.
View from my iPhoto. Different but equally annoying icons.

.swf files with imported video are just white slides with no audio.

Hello there,
I had been using Adobe Presenter 7 until recently and I have now upgraded to Presenter 10 for use within Powerpoint 2013. Unfortunately I am having quite a few issues with it.
I am using it to make presentations built up of imported video files, as I had been doing before with Presenter 7 without any issue. I typically have a presentation of 6 parts and import each video file ~80MB Mp4 into a single slide then name each slide adding a presenter and output it to an 'swf' file. This worked fine in Presenter 7.0.7. Now my issue is that the output will load the player it will have the correct presenter, and timings on the chaptered sidebar but when it plays the presentation area of the screen is just white, there's no audio, no video just the correct time for each section. I've checked the output folder the individual video files will play within windows media player without issue.
It should be noted that the html5 only version works fine, until uploaded to a web server and then it will not load any of the player with IE11 (I can't test it in other browsers).
I would appreciate some help with this if anyone has any ideas to fix this.
Many thanks

Well make sure you have read and write permissions on the file. Do a get info in the video (command-I) and alter it as necessary.

Event library 1 hour limit on video when imported videos are longer

In my event library, none of my events are more than 1 hour in length, and the video after the 1 hour mark is unavailable. When I import the event it says "87 minutes imported" or however long the clip is, yet only the first hour can be viewed, added to project etc. They are not all exactly 1 hour, some are 58 or 59 minutes, and the longest is 1:00:54 long. It is frustrating because I'm trying to import football games to make highlights, so I'm missing a lot of matches. Why is this happening/how can I access the footage in each event after the 1 hour mark? Please help me!

Rodrigo,
We seem to be able to "stream" (progressively download) videos over 35 minutes on PCs, but not on Macs. Without more input from Apple, we don't really have any clue as to what is responsible for this problem. We had considered breaking the files into several parts to take advantage of the streaming capability, but we have decided to just have our students download the entire files if need be, since the only users affected are Mac users.
I'm just now testing to see if there is a duration limit on streaming files over the PC. After a little playing around, I think there might be a limit to the PC's streaming capabilities as well. I'll update this thread with any discoveries.
But from what I can see, you should be able to stream files over the PC. How much bandwidth does your school have?

Wifi / Video chat problems that are driving me crazy

Hello all!
So here's the story. I bought a Macbook Pro about 4 weeks ago, and from the first day i've turned it on, I've been experiencing a few problems regarding my Macbook's wifi and ability to video chat. Ill address each problem separately
Wifi:
So starting from the first boot up, it seems as if my Macbook Pro doesn't always play well with my network over wifi. After establishing a good connection for at least an hour, web pages will refuse to load, even though airport says I'm connected to the internet and to my network. When i turn airport off and back on, I'm prompted for my network password. When I enter it, it attempts to connect, and i get the message "network timeout". I keep getting this no matter how many times i attempt to reconnect, or restart. I have 2 windows computers (vista and xp) and 2 xboxes that are connected via LAN, and 2 ipod touches, an ipad, an old dell laptop (ubuntu), and a Macbook (snow leopard) that are connected at various times wirelessly. The problem persists no matter what time it is, what day it is, where i am in the house, or what is connected to the network. Some days it will happen 5 times, some days (like today), it has yet to happen, so it's very unpredictable. No other computers, including the Macbook, have this problem. I have yet to test this Macbook Pro on another network. I have searched various forums and tried multiple "network timeout" fixes, only to find myself being disconnected again. The problem does not happen when connected via LAN
Video Chat:
This problem has also happened previously when i attempted to video chat on the previously mentioned Macbook. No matter what client i use to video chat (Ichat, oovoo, etc.), and no matter how I'm connected (WiFi, LAN), the video quality is very bad, and after a few minutes i lose connection (however, i retain a good internet connection). At best it is choppy, and i can barely understand the other person before i get disconnected. I've tried talking to people of various distances, from people in the same city, to my friend in florida, and i keep getting the same problem. My friends say that they're fine when they talk to other people and the quality is very good in comparison to mine, so I'm lost here. The video chat tests, appleu3test01 and 02 are crystal clear for me, while i don't get a response from 03. I figured it was because i was on wifi, since i have problems over wifi (above), but the problem persists even when connected via LAN. My internet sharing is OFF, as well as any other sharing option. I've gotten mediocre results at best doing VoIP tests, however i get stellar results from speed tests. Wired i get 20mb/s down, 5mb/s up, while wireless i get 5mb/s down, 2.5mb/s up, with a ping of 17ms.
Im curious to know if these two problems are related! My blame right now falls on the router or it's settings, but as of right now i really don't know how to go about fixing this.
My ISP is Verizon FiOS, and i must say I've seen a great improvement from when i switched from my local ISP (Time Warner Cable), however through my searching i have seen people run into problems with the macbook pro and Verizon FiOS and their routers. The problem is, I can't simply replace the router, It's used for the TV and DVR streaming and stuff, it had a COAX cable in it.
If it makes a difference, i needed LAN ports in my room, so i took my old Linksys WRT54G router with DD-WRT Firmware, and connected that to the wire that runs from the Actiontec M1424WR into my room, so i can connect my Xbox and my computer via LAN... that could be a possible interference.
I am a college bound 18 year old living with my parents at the moment, so extreme fixes (like switching ISP's) are out of the question for me, but i do have free reign over the router settings and such, so i can try most reasonable things. I LOVE my macbook pro, and don't see myself going back to windows anytime soon, so i want to fix these problems ASAP. I consider myself to have a good knowledge of computers, so lay every possible solution on me!
Thanks in advance!

ok so all day yesterday i didn't have the wi-fi problem, but today I'm struggling to keep a connection. The status bar reads "Contacting website.com", and stays that way until i stop it, or it gets reconnected. I changed the settings mentioned above, but no dice. My router is up to date and everything too.
As for the Video Chatting problem, i didn't know that there was a connection doctor, so i tried that, and i get an amber light for "router type", and it says "port restricted". I searched around for a bit, and found somebody who said disabling the firewall on the router helps. I did that, and while i DID notice a significant improvement in video quality and connection quality, i still get an amber light with the message "router type: port restricted. This computers network setup includes one or more devices that are not fully compatible with audio and video chatting.". I still would like to get a green light here, as well as keep my firewall... any suggestions?

HP/Synaptics trackpad with integrated buttons in touch area- DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

My new HP Envy has integrated buttons on the trackpad, and NO MATTER WHAT the trackpad is UNBEARABLE to use as it always detects movement when you have your finger resting on the left button. I DO NOT WANT THIS
The driver has settings that should fix this as you can draw the 'touch/tap' area that should only be detected with movement. BUT THIS DOES NOT WORK. It makes it better, but still gets activated constantly as when you have both hands using the touch pad (finger resting on left click button, and another finger tracking/touching) it has a clunky driver that thinks 'one finger is in the touch area' so allows movement in button area.
The driver needs fixing, whoever programmed it should be shot. I dont know anyone who would want the whol trackpad area including the buttons to detect movement.
PLEASE ISSUE A FIX HP. I am considering taking back my new laptop over this one annoyance. Laptop looks great, but Its reasons like this that people buy Apple products, as they test and reasearch their design so much better.

I am having same issue and it gets accivated again

Nikon RAW conversions are driving me crazy.

Ever since upgrading to 10.4.8 and Aperture 1.5 all of my RAW files are displaying in a very unpleasent manner. Depending on the camera the effect is different but still way off from my previous tests in June. I do realize that Aperture ignores all of the in camera settings when processing the RAW files but the difference between in camera produced jpgs and RAWs are now crazy. The worst being from my D2Hs. Those RAWs actually look like an Adobe 1998 color space image being displayed in an sRGB context. This is now a big problem.
Apple has been working on it for over a week, does anyone out there have work arounds, presets, whatever that will give me decent default results for Nikon D2H, D2X, and D200 RAW files. D2H being the worst off right now.
Thanks
RB

Thinking more about the issue you are experiencing, I
am curious to know how your D2X (or D2H) is
configured, relative to the following settings:
* Color Space (sRGB or Adobe RGB); defaults to sRGB.
[The D2H may not have a separate setting for
this; instead it may be combined with the Color
Mode.]
Color Mode (Type I, II or III); defaults to Type I.
Tone Compensation (Auto, Normal or predefined
curve); defaults to Auto.
I ask because a photo's resultant colors -- and
perhaps the perceived white balance -- can be
considerably different depending on the
aforementioned settings. And the defaults are
definitely NOT what I would use, particularly for
RAW.
In any case, after reading (and re-reading) the D2X
manual, perusing web sites, etc., etc., I have found
the following settings to be optimal for a RAW
workflow:
* Color Space: Adobe RGB. (The default -- sRGB --
has a smaller gamut than Adobe RGB.)
* Color Mode: II. (The default -- type I -- is for
portrait shots. Type III is for landscapes. Type II
-- only available when utilizing Adobe RGB for the
colorspace -- is suited for a RAW workflow. Type I
and III both affect color saturation and/or tone,
while type II does not, AFAIK.)
* Tone Compensation: Normal. (The default -- "Auto"
-- allows the camera to make changes to the tones in
an image, and said changes can be different from
shot-to-shot...even for the same scene.)
Bottom line, Nikon's defaults -- color space sRGB,
color mode I and auto tone compensation -- can have a
significant impact on color saturation, tone/hue,
etc. And, while I would certainly like to hear
others' opinions, I definitely do not recommend
Nikon's defaults.
As for Aperture, it does properly recognize the white
balance setting for a given image. However, I do not
believe that Aperture compensates for -- or even
recognizes -- the "Color Mode" and "Tone
Compensation" settings. This would also explain why
folks sometimes see different results in Aperture vs.
Nikon's Capture NX, for a given image.
Anyone else?
MacBook Pro
17" 2.16; PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7 Mac OS X
(10.4.8) Camera: Nikon D2X
I think that I mentioned this before but here goes again:
D2H Color mode 1, Normal contrast, sRGB, preset WB with 5500K lights.
The corrections to get the RAW to where it should be based on known shooting conditions, comparison to the in camera JPG, and comparison to the way Nikon capture processes the RAW file are massive. Not just a little. It litterally is like taking an Adobe RGB color space image, removing the profile info, sticking an sRGB profile tag on it, opening it in PS and then making the corrections to how it should look with known reference points of lighting temp, camera WB, etc.

Video Playlist driving me crazy!

I have video playlists set up in my 80g 5th G iPod. A playlist sort of implies that you will let videos play, one after the other. I have found that if one of the videos in the playlist was not completely watched (say for example you watched a video and quit in the middle), when the playlist comes to that video, it picks up in the middle where you last left off and not at the beginning like you would expect a playlist to do. I don't have this problem with audio-only (music) playlists. I've looked, but can't find any setting that will make "all videos start at beginning when part of playlist".
Anyone else ever see this? Any suggestions?

that's a good question...when i was trying to get it to transfer earlier --i was clicking all over and then it popped up again --which the second time i tried it and then i was able to get it to transfer.
try playing the clip in itunes and see if it asks again.
just to go over your settings:
right click on your ipod (in itunes), sellect ipod options, under music check automatically update..., under videos check automatically update all videos....
alright i know im gonna sound stupid, but where can i register after i said that i didnt want to :/

Video Help, Driving me crazy!

IPad and MobileMe are driving me crazy! Help!

Hi there,
I recently bought an iPad and with it, a mobileme subscription. As a former user of the service, I really enjoyed the syncing over the air to my iPhone. Apparently, despite having set it up properly, no one seems willing to tell my iPad that I have mobile me and it should sync.
Here's the real problem:
I set up mobileme syncing on the iphone and ipad and my macbook pro. I made some changes to my ical on my mac. my iphone synced but my ipad didn't, despite making sure that mobile.com/calendar was updated AND I forced a sync. Any ideas?

Open iCal and look at the upper left corner. If you don't see a calendar identification, go to the View menu and select "Show Calendar List."
There may be other configurations that work but the one that seems to be the best is to use MobileMe as the master. When I fire up my Mac, iCal is blank for a split-second until it gets the info from MobileMe. Similarly, my iPad is configured to always get the info from MobileMe.
Since I don't have an iPhone, I can't explain why your iPhone tracks the Mac.

Ports at back of iMac are driving me crazy!

I'm using GarageBand with a guitar and bass, often monitoring the output with headphones.
Plugging the instruments and headphones in the back of the iMac is major hassle. I often spin the thing around 180 degrees just to get set up.
And then the cables! Yikes! Headphones, guitar cable, mouse cable...
Is there some inexpensive solution so I can plug into <something> which is always plugged into <some port>?
Perhaps some phyical USB interface?
Suggestions, please!

Sound Effects Driving Me Crazy

I went to user preferences -> sounds -> and unchecked "play user sound effects" and unchecked "play front row sound effects".
Yet the sound effects for opening new web pages, clicking on the menu bar, etc keep happening.
They are driving me crazy. How do I make them stop?
- Terribly Vexed.

There may be two things to try. 1: update Mac OS X to v. 10.5.4. this may help. The second option is to simply mute the volume. Hope it works!

Can somebody help me? Can't import videos that are already on my hard drive

i'm not the most technologically adept person. When it comes to iTunes, i plain stupid.
for some reason i can't import videos on my hard drive.
they are set to open in iTunes and if i double click on them, iTunes comes up and switches to the video screen, but it does not show the name in the list or play the video or anything. It's driving me nuts. Especially since i was considering buying an iPod video in the near future. But theres no point in even bothering if i can't get the videos into iTunes!!! If you know how to help my situtation or have any good tips let me know!!

You do not use the 'Import' function under the File Menu to import P2 card content because the video content is still in its native form. For example, my Panasonic HPX 171 produces .MXF video files (amongst all the other files and folders within the overall heirarchy).
In order to access the copied P2 information you have to Log & Transfer it, as if it were a camera plugged into the computer. This process then converts the MXF P2 files into a Quicktime format that the Final Cut application can read and work with.
Take note that when archiving a P2 card as you did it is imperative that ALL the other files and folders are copied and saved. In other words, the entire 'CONTENTS' folder. It is this 'CONTENTS' folder that you navigate to within Log & Transfer when you want to import to FCP.

When I try to import video frames to layers in Photoshop CS6 all I get is a solid green screen where the video preview, and the layers are supposed to be. How do I fix this?

I am using a Mac OS, and even if I select a random chuck of video and convert it to layers the layers from that are still the solid green image; not the video.

Are you trying to import a silent MP4? I had the same problem, when when I switched it to an MP4 with sound - I don't know why, but it worked.

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

haben
From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.
