HD video from SD Card not showing up in Iphoto or Imovie

When I put my SD card in, Iphoto comes up and has my pictures but not my HD video. I tried to import in Imovie and then went under my SD card file and the video still is not showing. The video is 100% on the SD card. They showed up when I imported my pictures and videos using windows on my mini toshiba. I want to edit the video on Imovie though.. Why wont they show?

As AussieDJ suggested - have your copied the files from the SD card to your hard drive? You should be able to open them in QuickTime or, at least, VLC DVD Player. I get from your message that you just want to watch the movies and not edit them?
First, copy the movies onto your hard drive. Open QuickTime player and try to watch them there. If that fails, try downloading VLC DVD Player, open it and then try to view your movies.
Good luck,
Clinton

Imported photos from sd card not showing in events

iPhoto 9.6: after importing photos from SD card, they do not appear in Events nor Last Import. They DO appear in Photos and Last 18 Months. How can I get them into Events?

they are in an event - every photo is - you are not finding them
Photos and events are simply different views of the exact same photos - anything in one is also in the other
Most common causes are a bad sort of events - fix using the view menu ==> sort events and set your desired sort
Or -- a bad date on the camera - to fix set the camera correctly and select the photos already imported with the bad dates and use the adjust time/date command to fix
You also can right click on one in Photos and select who event from the resulting menu to see where it is

Images from SD card not showing on OS X

I am in an issue that is a bit of a pain for my workflow.
I explain first what I do so I will avoid questions about the origin of the cause (if I can).
I am using CHDK (a firmware hack for P&S Canon cameras) to shoot time lapses over several days.
So I end up with thousands of pictures on the SD card.
The SD card is Fat32 for CHDK bootable in camera reason.
The images are in separate DCIM folders on the SD card. During the course of the time lapse the image naming counter can reach 9999 and reset to 0001, not a big deal as the camera changes folders automatically in that case, and every day anyway (1800 images a day, approx)
When I put the SD card on my Mac Book Pro 2012 or my Mac Pro, both running 10.8.2, not all the images show up in the Finder.
In the present case out of 5000+ images 495 were missing, and I cannot find a rule for what shows up or not. Some images in all folders are missing.
When I try to import from Aperture, miracle I can see them all. But at the end of the import I get an alert that 495 images could not be imported.
And, finally, when I check the SD card on Windows 7 I can see them all, import them all, no problem.
Well it is a bit of a pain to have to go through Windows for that.
So what's going on? Somehow Mac OS X has some problems with large number of files on Fat32? or what?
I know this is quite specific and unusual bug but I post here just in case it happened to anyone before and that person reads the thread :-D

Forgot to add I tried on a Mini 10.7.5 and get same problem...
So not Mountain Lion specific.

Pictures from media card not showing up

i've had my Q5 for almost a year now and i've had this problem before and i guess it had just fixed itself in the past, but this time i'm frustratred and have decided to inquire about solutions!
basically what happens is i take pictures like normal and then when i go into the pictures application they're not there. so i tried restarting my phone; now the only pictures that show up are things that i've screenshotted. NONE of the pictures that i've ever taken are showing up. the pictures that i've taken are all stored on my sd card. before you even ask, YES! my sd card is still in my phone.
i guess i figured that when i restarted my phone it would do that thing where the pictures all have to be transferred from the media card to the phone or whatever that thing is.. but it's just not doing that! i've restarted my phone a few times over the last couple days and nothing seems to be working
i hope that SOMEONE can even remotely understand what i'm trying to say & i hope that this problem can be simply fixed! thank you

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here are several tests for you to try:
Use your media card directly on a computer (via an SD card reader).
Use your media card in an identical BB that has no issues.
Use an already formatted media card from a different BB on your BB.
The results of these tests will tell you if it is your media card or the media card reader on your BB that is the source of the problem.
Good luck!

HD video from SD card (SDHC card) into iMovie?

Hi,
It looks like others have had similar problems, but reading various replies, and being new to Mac and video editing, I can't seem to get the info I need.
While on holiday we bought a Sanyo xacti HD1010 camcorder/still camera. All data is on HC SD cards. When I try and transfer to the iMac, everything goes into iPhoto, the video clips with a green tint to them. I downloaded the latest QT which enables me to play the individual clips, and managed to import the clips to iMovie, but iMovie crashes each time i try and play a clip. Other clips, (not HD ones and from a standard SD card) play and edit fine.
Could someone please assist, as I have three 8GB cards to edit!
I'm also going to need some help installing a 500GB external hard drive to store everything. (We already have over 10 000 photos in iPhoto and about three hours of edited video waiting togo onto DVD)
Many thanks,
DH

I have a similar Sanyo ..not your hi-def Xacti HD1010, but the more low-tech standard-def 'waterproof' VPC-CA8EX..
..which also records - like yours - in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. But yours is proper hi-def AVCHD H.264.
I put my SDHC cards into a fast SDHC USB2 'Christallo' brand card reader, and import the video from there. The card reader shows on my Desktop as 'XACTI', and then when I start iMovie it automatically detects the 'camera' and starts reading the clips from the card and showing thumbnail images. When I click 'Import All' it whizzes through the clips, importing in a tiny fraction of 'real-time' ..about two seconds for a 1-minute clip.. finally reporting that it "..Imported 21 minutes and 44 seconds from 43 clips.." in less than a minute. Then it spends about 2 minutes generating actual thumbnails of these clips in iMovie '08.
(..It's generally, I find, faster to read a camera's, or camcorder's, images through a separate card reader than reading by connecting a camera to the Mac..)
So my clips don't go through iPhoto ..they're - automatically - imported straight into iMovie '08 on an Intel-powered Mac.
(..Ah, no; it's still churning through thumbnail-generation; that was an estimated 2 minutes for just the first day's clips ..but these clips are split over four separate days' shooting ..now it's finished.)
As you're using a similar codec (method of recording) - although in hi-def, with a wider screen format and a great number of pixels - your imports should, I think, behave similarly to mine, though importing may be slower, as you have more info in each 'frame' of video.
If I open iPhoto after connecting the card reader, iPhoto sees a device called 'Xacti', reads and displays all the photos and video clips, and when I click on 'Import' it briskly brings them all into iPhoto, without the time which iMovie spends generating video thumbnails afterwards.
None of the video clips have "..a green tint to them".
If I then start iMovie, I get the message "iMovie needs to generate thumbnails for the videos in your iPhoto library. This process may take several minutes. You can postpone this operation by clicking Later, but your iPhoto videos will be unavailable until the next time you restart iMovie". ..So there it goes, generating its video thumbnails. After one minute, it thinks that it's still going to take a further 7 minutes to do this..
(..Enough time for me to go and have breakfast all over again!..)
iMovie seizes up and becomes completely unresponsive while it's generating the thumbnails which it wants to display for the Xacti clips stored in iPhoto..
My setup is QuickTime Version 7.5.7 (249.30.1) ..also called Version 7.5.7 (995.26.2) and iMovie version ..well; I can't yet tell you what version (..but it's the latest..) because iMovie is unresponsive while it's creating these darned thumbnails! (..Oh; about another "5 minutes" to go.. this really is a slow way round; importing directly into iMovie in the first place, without using iPhoto, was -f-a-r- faster!..)
Meanwhile, about your hard disc;
It ought to be a FireWire-connected disc, not a USB-connected disc, as USB is far slower for continuous data transfer - such as chunks of video while editing - than FireWire, despite what salespeople tell you in shops.
Assuming it's a FireWire disc, it's probably been pre-formatted for use with a PC, not a Mac, so you'll probably need to format it as 'Mac OS Extended' instead of 'PC Exchange - FAT32'. As it's large - 500GB - you'll probably also need to partition it.
Instead of writing out all over again how to do this, I'll just refer you to another thread - read all the way through, including the bits about 'Options' and choosing 'Apple Partition Map' or 'GUID' - here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8542065#8542065
Ah, now: iMovie; "less than a minute" ..till thumbnails are complete. Yup, here they all are, and playing nicely. At last!
So; I can tell you what my Sanyo Xacti (standard-def, 4:3 shaped movies) does ..or rather, how importing works. So it should work just the same - I guess - with yours.
I don't have any conflicting codecs which I could have downloaded and which might interfere with iMovie - do you?
But I would guess that the crashing is more likely related to "..we seem to have used 295 so only 5 G left.." ..ANY Mac is going to have trouble if you're trying to handle hi-def and you've only 5GB of storage space left.
STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING and configure that external disc, and unload some of your 295GB files onto that to give your Mac at least 10% - i.e; 30GB - "breathing space"!
Then, with a properly-configured external FireWire disc, and 30GB space on your internal disc, try again. Oh, and you may find importing runs faster with a fast external card reader, and by starting up iMovie instead of iPhoto (..disable iPhoto's Preference marked under the 'General' tab "Connecting camera opens: "iPhoto" ..set it to "No application").

I have downloaded a movie with subtitle to iMovie. When playing the video, the subtitle does not show up through the entire video. It happens to my Mac Air and Mac Pro.

I have downloaded a video with subtitle. When playing the edited video, the subtitle does not show up in the entire video. The subtitle comes and goes in the video.I have tried with my Mac Pro and Mac Air, with the same result. I have downloaded movie with subtitle before and never had this problem. Please advise.

I'm not very knowledgable on this but subtitles are sometimes on a separate track from the main movie. Try opening the downloaded video in Quicktime Player and saving it - you may be asked if you want to "flatten movie". Choose to do this. The resulting movie will probably now work OK. Others may be able to supply more comprehensive instructions.

SD Card not showing after Mountain Lion Update

This matter has been discussed for some time now in
Apple Support Communities > Desktop Computers > iMac (Intel) > Discussions
SD Card not showing after Mountain lion Update
Since the update to Mountain Lion, the SD slot does not show up in Finder.
Someone gave a fix using the killall in Terminal, and that worked only once. I have not been able to get that fix to work again.
The only saving grace for me is that my SD Card us is always from my Nikon camera, and Nikon ViewNX 2 software is able to see and read from the card.
Killall may have worked partially in that I no longer get the error message telling me that I have removed the SD card improperly, and need to dismount it first.
However, Finder still cannot see it.

Thanks, Barney ...
Those are basics ... Been there, done that, first.
Then you should hava posted all the troubleshooting you already accomplished.
Does the card show up in System Information? Or is that another one of the "basics" you've already looked into?
Does it show up in Disk Utility? If so, have you tried formatting it there to determine if it is a formatting problem?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Of the request and IMEI number. Is there a way from the phone i can verify it was unlocked?
If AT&T e-mail says it is unlocked, then believe it is so. Insert non-AT&T SIM inside and after backing up restore in iTunes again. Unlock gets attached.
You can check the status of the unlock request on AT&T web-site.

Where/how do I save videos from SD card to MacBook?

I have inserted the SD card and can play the videos, but where do I save them so that I can delete them from the card?

That's really up to you. You could put them in your movies folder if you just want them on your computer(drag and drop videos from sd card into "movies" in the sidebar), or you could import them into iTunes (which will also save them in your iTunes library. To do that you can select all the videos and drag them into an open iTunes window or right click them and select "open with: iTunes".

Pics from iPhone 5 not showing up in photostream in iPhoto using icloud. suggestions?

I have taken a couple of pics with my iPhone 5 and they're not showing up in iPhoto on my mac. I've signed up for iCloud and it's enabled. I've gone into "system preferences" and made sure iCloud is on, and PhotoStream is also. I've gone under iPhoto preferences to make sure everything is checked. It's also under settings in my phone...all checked and turned on there too. I thought when you took a pic with your phone they were supposed to show up in Photo Stream in your iPhoto on your Mac automatically, without needing to sync. What am I doing wrong?

OK.
First try a Restart of your Mac... and...
For the Phone...Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto

How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto? . . . i can see all the photos but the videos are not visable (I also connected the SD card with a USB Sony SD Card Reader - again only the photos are accessible - no video files are shown) . . .

If you're shooting AVCHD then you'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 11v9.3 to import this material.
A note on AVCHD: This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.

Photo edits not showing up in iPhoto when using PSE

I have recently purchased Photoshop Elements 13 and have set iPhoto to use it as my editor. That is working, however, when I save the file, the new file does not show up in iPhoto. It does, however, show up in Organizer. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks Larry, I don't doubt that I'm not doing it correctly, but I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have selected PSE to be my external editor in the iPhoto preferences and when I select a photo in iPhoto to edit, it comes up in PSE. I edit the photo and select save (or click on the X in the top right corner of the image, I have tried both and gotten the same results both ways. I get a dialog box that indicates PSE is going to save the file in psd format. I have let it do that and I have also changed to JPG, neither has made any difference. I have also gone in and changed the preferences in PSE to replace the original file on the advice of help at Elements Village. It didn't change the file in iPhoto before that change and it hasn't changed it after that change either.
The file I originally was working with was in RAW format, and I read in another thread that there was no way for PSE to save the edited RAW file back into iPhoto directly, that it would need to be saved somewhere else, such as to the desktop, and then imported back into iPhoto. So, I edited a jpg file and saved it and that edited file did not show up in iPhoto either. From reading other threads, it seems to work for other people, but I don't know what I and doing wrong or what else to try. I have spent a ton of time trying to get this to work because I don't care for the PS Organizer and would prefer to use iPhoto to organize my photos and PSE and ACR to edit them, but so far I am not having any luck with it other than saving the edited file somewhere else and then importing it again into iPhoto, which is a pretty clunky way to have to do it.
