Help Transfering Music Videos from Mac To PC

Hi everyone! We have a Mac and a PC at home, both with iTunes. I'm trying to transfer music videos from my Mac to the PC. Both computers are authorized. I'm copying the music videos to an external hard drive from the Mac. After connecting the drive to the PC I double click the music video and it loads into iTunes, however, when I try to play it I hear the music but the video image is totally distorted. This does not happen with music videos purchased after the iTunes 7 upgrade. Those transfer well. It only happens to the older iTunes music videos. Is this normal? Should this be happening? If so, is there a way of converting the older videos so they play in iTunes 7 for PC?

no one knows?

Transferring photos/videos from Mac to PC...while preserving metadata

In short, I need to move my media collection (music, movies, photos, etc) off from my macbook pro and on to my windows server (Win 7) due to hard drive space limitations. I'm afraid that if/when I transfer all of my media over to the NTFS storage drive located on my Win7 machine, I'll lose all of the metadata attached to each picture/video, you know...all the dates, times, places, etc. Will this data actually be lost? Any recommendations aside from keeping it on an HFS+ drive? For what it's worth, much of it has been taken via iPhone. Additionally, I'm finding that I'm running in to more trouble actually transferring it. Is there a good application to do this? (CCC failed out, the manual copy/paste failed too.)

Barbara-- I just found an answer on a previous thread that seems to work-- dragging the jpgs on the mac from their folder onto the desktop, and then from there on to the thumb drive. I still get the two forks, but the main one opens. Question: (unless you know a better way to go that doesn't create this)-- is there any reason not to delete the data fork? It seems to open fine when it is deleted.

Help! I can't transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad.

Help! I cannot transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad. I simply want to transfer individual music videos from my Mac, but my iPad will not allow it. As soon as I check the box that says 'include music videos' my ipad says that I do not have enough space, which would be true if I wished to transfer all my videos. However, I only wish to transfer a few, something that I have done many times before. I then unchecked the 'include music videos' box, and of course, I could not transfer a single video, despite having plenty of free space. Please help!

Wendy-
All of my digital cameras seem to work OK with the iPad Camera Connection Kit, but I've read several similar reports here. One thing to consider is whether your camera's battery is fully charged. I doubt it matters, but might explain if it works sometimes and not others.
I suggest you use a camera card-to-USB adapter to do the transfers. I've tried several that worked. The ones that drew too much current were the "universal" types that have several different card slots. A camera store should carry an adapter, and may let you try it. The ones I tried that draw too much current, were bad even without a card connected.

You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

How to add music/video from my macbook to iPhone music?

Hello,
Hope you are doing well.
I have bought my new iPhone 4 and can't add any music. I also dont know how to add music. Before that, I used to use Android. It was so easy to do. But here I cant find anything? Could you please tell me how can I add music/video from my macbook to iPhone music/ video?
I searched online about this matter but everywhere I found that, I have to add music to itunes at first. I even dont know how to do it. Please help me with the whole process.
*another thing, is there any way to add music to 'iPhone Music' from my whatsapp ?
Thanks for your help.
I wish you good luck and have a great day...

You'll have to use iTunes on your computer or buy music using the iTunes app on your phone.
Check these articles for more info:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
iTunes on your MacBook can import music files or your CD's into the iTunes library. After that you can sync the content of the iTunes library on your Mac to your phone.

No video (protected mp4) after purchasing a music video from the store

Hi,
there is a strange problem found with the newest iTunes and (the newest) Quicktime:
If I'm trying to preview a movie , the audio part is playing fine, but the Mac is only showing me a white (or black) window without a video content.
The same problem happens if I'm purchasing a music video from the iTunes store- audio fine, but no video. To track the problem I have exported the video and tried to play it with the QuickTime player: still the same problem.
All other videos and Video Podcasts are playing fine.
It seems that I have problems with protected MP4 files....
Any suggestion to solve this problem?
The same videos are playing fine under Windows 2000 using the newest iTunes and QuickTime, only OS-X 10.4.9 (with all updates) on my G4 QuickSilver Dual 800MHz with 1.25 GB RAM and a Geforce 4Ti is giving me this problem.
G4 Quicksilver 2002 Dual 800MHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) GeForce 4 Ti, 1.25 GB RAM

Downgrading probably won't help; I asked because some people try to use a version of QT too old to play movies and videos from the iTunes Store.
Your system is marginal for the minimum required specs which specify a 1GHz processor or better, but it should at least try to play the videos, though it might not be smooth? Do you have any sort of third-party codecs - Divx, 3ivx, etc. - installed? If so, try removing them, restart the system, and see if that helps.
Regards.

Transferred a video from phone to macbook pro but sound is not working.

I transferred a video from my phone to my macbook pro. the transfer was successful but the sound is not working on the computer, totally mute. the video is playing on quicktime player. the computer sound is on. the video was working fine on the phone and when i transferred the video, if this makes any difference or anything, the phone's media volume was on full.
I very much appreciate the help and feed back, thank you!

I have this same issue and have been struggling with it for a while. I really just need to get it into Apple Store to be fixed most likely - but avoiding the hassle and time needed to do so.
Things I've come across:
Something inside of the headphone jack is not right, such that it randomly thinks headphones or some other type of optical audio device are plugged in. you will see a red light inside the jack occasionally when it happens.
You might try doing PRAM and/or SMC reset ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 )

How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

The easiest way is to firstly export the movie to iTunes (Share > iTunes), then sync the iPad Mini with iTunes. In iTunes, include your movie as an item to be synced. After syncing, on the iPad it will appear in the Videos app. That's how I do it for my wife's Mini.
If you need help with exporting or with syncing to iTunes, please post back.
I'm caught up with something else at the moment, otherwise I'd give you full instructions now (just wanted to get this to you quickly).

Can anyone help me move video from Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3gs via camera connector kit?

Can anyone help me move video from a Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3g via camera connector kit?

You can use iPhoto for the import. iLife apps are integrated. From within iMovie you have direct access to iTunes for adding music, and iPhoto for photos and videos in the iPhoto library.
Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you prefer placing such imports into manually created folders and not using iPhoto.

Can't dowload music video from iTunes

Hoping someone can help me.
I tried downloading a music video from iTunes. I purchased the video, it started downloading and right at the end I got the following message and iTunes just shut down.
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...Please tell Microsoft about this problem..."
An option to send an error report was also given.
There is no record that I purchased the video, but yet when I tried to buy the music video again, i got a message saying that had I already purchased it, but i can't find it anywhere in iTunes or in any of my folders in my computer.
Hope someone can help me out!

Hmm. It should.
Here's the main Download support page. There is a form at the bottom if nothing there helps. It may take a while to get a response. Some weeks they get absolutely swamped.
