Hi, dragging jpeg files into i-movie - the selection of jpegs is repeating certain photos and not featuring others, making the entire sequence impossible to view. PLEASE HELP!

Hi, I have been dragging jpeg files into i-movie all week without issue. Now all of a sudden, the selection of jpegs I'm dragging is repeating certain photos and not featuring others, making the entire sequence impossible to view.
Please help, this is urgent for a funeral tomorrow! It didnt happen with any of the other family tributes, they all worked fine.
Many thanks,
Ruth

It worked! Thank you! I finally just finished about 20 minutes ago! It took over 26 hours to complete the process you described, but I stuck with it and it worked. I am glad I didn't give up or "forget it" as some might have suggested. That would have set me back until tomorrow!
Ultimately, it turned out there were 45,910 jpgs created. No wonder it took so many hours to render/display them all. It ended up being about 10 hours before it seemed they were all rendered but the process between them displaying and being able to start really deleting them took a few hours because partly I was asleep and also partly it took forever to do anything. Any action as simple as selecting and right-clicking to Get Info, or emptying the trash, would take 20-30 minutes, a couple times longer. The clock stopped many times for 20-30 minutes at a time, a few times over 30 minutes, before catching back up. My cursor never froze which is what really kept me going, although it was a spinning beach ball for most of the time. I was never so relieved to see my regular cursor as opposed to seeing a spinning beach ball as I was early this morning after about 10 hours!
Once I was able to open a Finder window and select all 45,900 files (I had already deleted 10 in the previous couple hours during experimenting of trying to figure out what would work best), then right-click and select to move all the files to the trash, the process of moving them to the trash took 4.5 hours. Then deleting them from the trash took a couple minutes. There were 21.4 GB!!! No wonder the whole process took 26 hours!
mende1, thank you so much!

Why do I have the Invite Attendee option in some calendar events and not in others?

I just entered a lot of kids' activities into my Blackberry and couldn't send them to my husband's--the option was not there. I have previously been able to do this. In events that I entered prior to tonight, the invite attendee option is still there, even if I hadn't invited anyone yet. In each event that I entered tonight, the option is not there. I recently installed the newer version of Facebook. My husband changed his facebook options (unchecked the box connecting his facebook account with the blackberry calendar application) and his invite attendee option returned. I tried the same thing, and it did not work. I also went under default services and changed the calendar (CICAL) to an email address instead of facebook, and that also did not work. I don't know if I have BES or BIS--how do I find out? I have tried checking to see if the desktop organizer is using the blackberry wireless synch as mentioned in a previous post, but that isn't an option next to calendar (only ASCII Importer/Exporter or Yahoo).

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Please tell me who is the email provider, Google, Yahoo, etc.

Houston, we have a problem! The first version of Facebook that came out, had a bug that changed the default CICAL
to Facebook. In Default services the CMIME and CICAL should match the main email address, that is also the main
address on your PC.
Go to the calendar and once started, menu key, options. Calendar options is the name of the screen. You will see a calendar
for each email address, and one for Facebook. Highlight and click each calendar, not the number of records in each.
If you a a calendar for Device Default, let us know the records for that one as well.

If your phone is a personal phone you setup your self, you're most likely BIS. I don't think this will be related to
the wireless sync. Please tell me what Calendar do you sync with. Outlook, Yahoo, etc.
Please go to options, advanced options, applications. Find Facebook and click on it, scroll down and tell me what
version it is. OK?
Thanks,

Importing Photos and NOT including Metadata at the same time

Hello
I know you can export a photo and marking the check box to NOT INCLUDE metadata, but can you import the same way.
Thanks

Aperture does not allow to modify EXIF tags. You will need other tools for doing that. If you know hot to use the Terminal, you can modify EXIF tags with exiftool, see:

When I try to import a folder of jpeg files into iPhoto, only some are imported. I get the message "The following files could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)" I am running iPhoto '09 ver. 8.1.2 on OSX 10.5.8. They are all RGB.

Sorry I'm new to Final Cut Express. How do you make an image (jpeg file for example) move across the screen slowly as I've seen in many films.

TA22875 Why can't I drag MP4 Files into Imovie?

I'm trying to frag MP4 files into I Movie and when I release the mouse it just returns them to where they came.

OK
We here are not Apple or employed by them - the thoughts and wisdom of Apple is very occult to many of us !
We are as You - Users and trying to be of help for other users !
The thing is - I don't know about Codecs, and please take this the right way when I say - I'm not interested in Codecs.
I just want to drag my movie files taken in whatever format I take them in and drag them into Imovie to work on them.
mp4 is a fairly common format?
then I have very little possibility to be of help - as I only can guide You a bit of the way to understand and work around this Problem - I never denied it to be.
But it seems that every Camera company makes there own solutions and to make Video editing programs or DVD authoring ones that can use every strange Video Codec availably - is impossibly - Not even FinalCut or Avid or Adobe Premiere can do this.
.mp4 - is no more Video Codec as any folder or hard disk - and tell that my material is on a hard disk, doesn't help us in understanding where it goes wrong.
So if You want to get this to work - then You need to set of a minimum of interest in howto get it right.
To find out the Codec
• Open the file with QuickTime-Player (as it can open many many more Codecs than iMovie can use)
• here open Inspector [cmd+I] and read
Video Format (Codec) : nnnnnnnnnnnnn
Frames per second : YY.yy fps
What does they say ?
If You feel offended and don't want - There is no solution as I know of.
AND - I have no intention to offend at any cost - but need info (and so does the others here too) to be able to reach out a hand

Can no longer open a folder while dragging a file into it...

Suddenly I am unable to drag a file into a folder, hold it over that folder and have the folder open so I can then navigate within that folder before dropping the file (does that make sense?)...it has been working just fine for some time and now it won't work. Only thing I've done recently is repair disk permissions (which CheckUp seemed to find a lot in need of repair, oddly enough).
Any help is much appreciated, I use this feature frequently.

HI,
I'm not sure what CheckUp is. Only use your Disk Utility application (Applications/Utilities) to repair disk permissions on a Mac.
*"Suddenly I am unable to drag a file into a folder"*
Time to check the hard disk. Grab your install disk.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
Check your available disk space also.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.

How to convert jpeg files into word

How to convert jpeg files into Word

Hi Eugene,
I don't think you can convert an image to a Word document, but you could place the JPEG into a Word document using the Insert > Object command in Word.
For other questions relating to Word, you will probably have more luck getting an answer if you post on the Microsoft forums (we can help if you're using Acrobat, or another Adobe product, but you'll find the Word experts on the Microsoft forums.)
Best,
Sara

Finder. Dragging a file into a folder I get inside that folder.

When dragging a file into a folder I get inside that folder instead of staying in the original location. Why?
This may sound a bit stupid but it did not use to happen before and it's annoying when you are cleaning up a folder and just want to drag and drop some files into different folder and don't want to get into each folder.
I have tried into finder configurations and nothing.
Any ideas?

If you hover hesitantly over a folder during a drag/drop maneuver, the folder will open, rather than just receive the files. The instant that the folder gets that grey background box, release the dragged objects. Practice.

Can't drag motion files into Compressor anymore

I used to be able to drag Motion files into the batch window in Compressor, and now I can't. I've tried trashing preferences - no effect. It's frustrating because loss of this ability doesn't coincide with any update, so I'm not sure what it could be. Does anyone with more compressor experience than me have any ideas?

Somehow, when I tried to drag from the finder, I didn't always get the right song! But if I double clicked that song in the finder, the right song was played by iTunes, even though the wrong song showed up in Garage Band. Dragging to and from the desktop worked fine, and I just dragged it from the desktop to the trash after I worked on it in Garage Band for editing and "sharing" back into iTunes.

Can't drag video files into library - Please help!

Just got my iPod 30G video, and while I can drag mp3 files into the Library without any problems, when I try to do the same for video files (.avi and .wmv files), nothing happens. I don't get any error messages, but the files just don't appear in the Library. What am I doing wrong?

You must convert the videos to MP4. To do this, you must download a video converter. I got mine from Videora. Just google that name and download their full program. You will then need to convert the videos with the program and drag them to iTunes.
