How do I transfer my pc video files to imac

I saved a folder from my PC to a hard drive.  The folder is called photos and contains lots of sub-folders (years and months) and in those are many jpeg photos and little movies which i uploaded from my ifone and my sony camera over the past 5 or 6 years.
I worked out how to drag the folder into iPhotos and it imported all the photos so I can view all the photos but when I drag the same folder into iMovies it put all the movies and the photos into there too.
All i want is the photos in iPhotos and the movies in iMovies without having to go through every subfolder and dragging them into imovies individually as this will take forever.
Any ideas anyone
Thank you

Hi Scooterhf,
Unless you are planning on editing your videos, I would suggest that you simply store your videos in iPhoto and view them from there as well:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I transfer a WMV video file to my ipad?

    I have video clips on my home computer that I would like to transfer to my ipad. They are in WMV form. How do I put them on my ipad?

    Better yet, download the VLC app from the App store, which is free.
    Use iTunes to select apps installed on the iPad, scroll down and find a box which enables you to transfer files into VLC direct.
    Transfer any video file, any format, into the VLC app.
    Enjoy watching any video file without conversion issues.

    How do I transfer a VCL video into my iTunes library

    I had the same problem. I found the solution by accident.
    Open the Movie mp4 in Quick Time 10. There is a share button (or click share on the menu) and select iTunes. It will take awhile for the file to be imported into iTunes.

    Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
    Get MacScan...

    But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.
    Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

    how can i transfer the radio recording files from my Ipad to Computer ?

    I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries,
    Unfortunately, you can only stream content to your iOS devices via home sharing (not sync it).
    I'd have a check through the following user tip instead:

  • How can I transfer a big .pdf file e.g. 9 MB from my Macintosh Performa 5200 and its OS 8.1 to an USB-flash drive?

    How can I transfer a big .pdf file e.g. 9 MB from my Macintosh Performa 5200 and its OS 8.1 to an USB flash drive? E.g. is there any adapter available in order to connect the SCSI with USB? Or is it better to use a compression software and transfer it to 10 3,5" floppy discs?
    Thank you
    Emanuel

    Hello Emanuel,
    The Performa 5200CD did not have built-in Ethernet as standard, so unless an Ethernet card (or an external SCSI or LocalTalk-to-Ethernet adapter) has been added, that method would not be available in this case.
    Your suggestion involving compression software (such as an appropriate version of StuffIt) with segmenting capabilities could of course be one alternative.
    If you have an internal or external modem for the Performa, another way could be to use the telephone lines for transfers. A communications program would have to be used on both sides (for example, ZTerm or the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Performa).
    It is even possible to connect two serial modems directly. A simple line simulator (in principle, a 9 V battery in series with a 680 ohm resistor in one of the leads in an RJ-11 to RJ-11 cable), which can be built in a couple of minutes, is sometimes needed. Do NOT use a line simulator for units connected to the public telephone network.
    Yet another solution could be a null-modem transfer to a PC with a (DB-9M) serial port. This would require a null-modem cable (can be designed by combining a Macintosh modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) with a normal PC-style (DB-25F to DB-9F) null-modem cable . HyperTerminal or another communications program can be used on the PC.
    What do you have to work with (other computers/models/platforms)? Is this a one-time transfer, or do you plan to send additional files later? Is the intention to continue to use the Performa 5200?

  • How do I transfer a SODA PDF file to ADOBE PDF?

    How do I transfer a SODA PDF file to ADOBE PDF?

    In ways, a pdf is a pdf. Adobe pdf files tend to be the most compliant to pdf standards.
    I guess my question is, why do you need to do that? Either the pdf is compliant and works fine or, it doesn't. If it's a bad pdf it will be bad no matter what you do (short of recreating it from the original file).

    How do I transfer photos or videos from my Droid to my computer?

    Hello, I had the same question; however, I've got the "black screen o' death" on my Droid Razr (cannot access anything on the phone/no touchscreen...but I DO get incoming calls through my bluetooth device). My new phone is scheduled to arrive this afternoon but I'd like to try and retrieve my photos/videos to save them if possible.
    I've got the phone connected to the Mac via supplied USB cable but all I see is the MotoCast on the desktop and cannot set the phone to mount as a drive...any workarounds?
    Thanks in advance.
