How to show iMovies in iPhoto (for iTunes to access for AppleTv and mobile)

I have read a few posts on this but cannot find a definitive answer...
If you import movies into iPhoto, iMovies can access them. But if you import into iMovies, it seems iPhoto cannot access them, which means iTunes cannot access them to stream to AppleTV or sync with my iPhone and iPad, as iTunes does not see iMovies.
Because I have a DV Camcorder I have to import my home movies to iMovie which gives me this above problem in that I cannot see them in iPhoto/iTunes/AppleTv.
So am I right in thinking the best way to have all applications see my movies is to export them from iMovie into iPhoto as follows:-
1) Rip to iMovies from the Camcorder
2) Find the files in Finder
3) Import into iPhoto
4) Delete the originals from iMovie
Then I should be able to see the newly imported files in iPhoto in iMovie AND iTunes??
I cant find or think of an alternate solution.
Thanks

I've decided to give the following a go...
Basically I originally wanted to use iPhoto for movies and photos so I have them all in one place and because I think Albums, Smartfolders etc. are great. Movies go hand in had with photos of the same event. But I also wanted them in iTunes to sync. with iPad, iPhone and play via Apple TV.
The file sizes from camcorder videos got me thinking I don't really want the massive files in iPhoto/iTunes/AppleTV etc. So have now decided to use iMovie as the library for the original large files, from which I can edit and make some compilations etc. then export those new movies of lower filesize (mp4?) into iPhoto for use with iTunes, Apple TV, iPhone and iPad.
I decided that when I finish importing I may look at putting the iMovie library with original DVs onto an external drive (due to filesize, if this is possible). So when I want to use iMovie to import and edit and make movies I will plug in the external hard drive where they all are, do my stuff, then can unplug and put away. That way I do not need to delete the originals due to filesize (I did not want to have to re-import from the camcorder again in future so do want them stored somewhere).
It also means I dont have every single video I shot in iPhoto, iTunes etc., not all of them are good.
Then my main computer with the iPhoto library has all my created and edited and new format movies to store for use with iTunes, Apple TV etc.
So I think this sounds like a good plan for me.
iMovie -> Original movie library manager (external drive due to filesize)
iPhoto -> Photos and edited movies library manager (Mac drive for AirPlay and mobile sync)

How do I backup my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive and keep my photos grouped by their events?

How can I backup my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive and keep my photos grouped by their events?

I have attempted to make sure my iPhoto library has been backed up on the external hard drive and that it is safe to delete some events from my internal hard drive
You need to think this through.
Time Machine is a back up application. It keeps a rolling back up of the data. It's called rolling because it means you can revert to the data you had on a specific date and time. But that's not eternal, and as time goes by, and your drive fills up, older backups are deleted. So if you delete Events on your Mac they will - eventually - also be deleted from the Time Machine back up.
If you wan tot archive data hendon't use Time Machine for that job. Here's how you might archive an iPhoto Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Is there a fix for itunes 10.5 win xp and/or is there a way to convert my itunes library to 128/256k/bps (vbr)so songs are listenable?

RE:ROBOT NOISE WIN XP BITRATE PROBLEM..is there a fix or is there one on the way for itunes 10.5 for win xp bit rate problem,a.k.a. :robot noise,and or is there a way to convert my music files to itunes plus - 128/256kbps(vbr) as this is the only format that plays right?

I don't know of any utilities that can repair audio files, just as there is no auto-picture repair utility. However, due to the structure of an aac file (and for iTunes they all come "wrapped" in an mp4 wrapper), it depends on where the damage is. Your aac file is actually comprised of around 60 'atoms' and only 1 of them ("mdat") is the audio. If the damage occurred in a non-mdat atom, you might be able to resurrect your m4a file.
See if you can open these songs in Quicktime Player, and export then as AIFF, and then re-import them using iTunes. You can also direct copy the audio track with a more comprehensive tool called MP4Box (part of an opensource tool called "gpac"). You can get a mp4box binary in a tool called ffmpegx. You'll have to choose "show package contents" and use it Terminal.app's command line:
/Supply/path/to/--->/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/MP4Box -add ~/Desktop/Closer.m4a#audio -new ~/Desktop/try.m4a
(substitute the ~/Desktop paths with your files; note: you depending on your files, the '#audio' might need to be replaced with '#TrackID=1' or appropriate number).
I would advise you to try the mp4box way first (to minimize audio loss with multiple conversions) and listen to each song, checking each. If it fails, then I would try the Quicktime way. If that fails, I would go back to the source material. Whether you use Quicktime or mp4box, you'll loose the metadata. You'll need to re-do that.
and I agree with dwb that iTunes didn't cause it. I would save things to cdr/dvdr before your data loss gets larger.

How do i transfer my iphoto events to an external hard drive and have the pictures remain within their original events?

How do i transfer my iphoto events to an external hard drive and have the pictures remain within their original events? Every time i try it splits up all of my pictures one by one. You'd think you'd be able to just drag and drop the event, but no such luck. Help!!

What version of iPhtoo do you have?
To export the photos in an event use the file menu == export command - see the user tip on exporting for the available options
TO use your iPhoto library on an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't merge accounts.
You can however share or import content from another library/account using homesharing.

HT4539 how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

Where can I find the amount of gb's a tv show has on the new iTunes via iOS6 for the iPhone 4S?

The question above says it all. I tried to purchase a season pass for a tv show, but, I can't because I don't have enough space on my phone. I have a 16gb iPhone 4S (I already know how to make more space on my phone). I have 10.9gb's available. But, anyway where can I find out the information on how much gb's a tv show has on the new iTunes for iOS6 via the iPhone 4S? Any help would be greatly appreciated! =)

"(also, my profile says that I'm running OS X 10.4.6, but I'm not really sure, that's just what one of the disks has written on it that came with my used and very cheap machine "
Click on the blue Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose About this Mac. That will tell you what your OS version is and what amount of RAM you have. The "More Info" button in the pop-up screen will give you the Apple System Profiler application and that will give you whole bunches of information on the drive space used etc.

This is the fix for "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close .

I recently purchased a new laptop and tried to get my library transferred. iTunes wouldn’t open; QuickTime wouldn’t open. I was near a heart attack. I tried the fixes listed in the forum, but they didn’t work. Then I discovered:
The fix needs to be done in a proper order!
a. Delete iTunes and QuickTime from Add/Remove programs
b. Go to C > Program files an delete the folders for iTunes and QuickTime. If QT will not allow you to delete the program because it’s “in use”, then go to Start > Run > configsys > Startup and deselect “qttask”. You will have to reboot and get past the selective start up/diagnostic screen. Then go back to C > Program files and you will now be able to delete the QuickTime folder.
c. For good order’s sake, delete any desktop shortcuts and empty your Recycle Bin.
d. Reboot
e. Download the STAND ALONE version of QuickTime: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
f. Install the stand alone version; reboot. At this time, when the diagnostic window comes up, you can reselect “qttask”
g. Download the QuickTime 7 with iTunes 6: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
h. Install the iTunes program. The stand alone will take precedence over the imbedded version of QuickTime.
i. Reboot
When your system has completed the reboot, you should be able to double-click the newly installed desktop shortcut; give it a few minutes and it should open. Mine did – and I tried everything else. If this does NOT work, then there is a conflict with something else in your system and you will have to go through the configsys elimination process, which is a whole lot more work.
Best of luck!

Generate another of those error messages and click the "Click here" link in the error message box. What modname and modver are showing for the error? (Precise spelling please.)
If the error is a BEX and thus doesn't show an modname or modver, let us know what P1 through P9 items are showing for you instead.

Same Apple ID for Itunes but different for Icloud?

Hi! Currently a Mac user with Android Phones and Google/Gmail accounts, contacts, cal, etc.
If the new Iphone and ICloud Drive fulfill expectations, my partner and I will be switching to the iphone and I will probably add an ipad to the mix as well.
I was originally planning to have us both share apple ID and backup to itunes v. cloud. But now I am rethinking that. My question is: Can we share the same apple ID for itunes and have separate cloud ID's? How does that work? And how do you set it up?
I know our current icloud ID is the same as our Apple ID which doesn't make sense if you can keep them separate?
Thanks for helping a newbie!

If you are asking can you have an Apple ID and an iCloud account then the answer is, yes. With iCloud it will sync all your devices and computers. I'm not going to get into discussing rumours as that's frowned upon. Here's what Apple has published about iCloud Drive: https://www.apple.com/ca/ios/ios8/icloud-drive/

Found a fix for iTunes 10.6.1 store and connection issues

Been having trouble for months not being able to connect to the store and then after the most recent update couldn't even connect to the internet to import a physical CD (wouldn't connect to Gracenotes), import purchases I made on my phone or even to check for iTunes updaes. After reading some other posts about the winsocket concerns I ran a diagnostic and found a real player file called speedster used to enhance download speed using the winsocket. I just uninstalled realplayer (I did have real player plus btw) and BAM all issues with iTunes were fixed. Opened iTunes, store loaded and all my purchases from my iphone and ipod touch started downloading. Simple, but ridiculous it caused that much trouble and not been an update to fix it yet seeing months of problems out there.

Ha! Issue solved. The track not showing the arrows was a PDF in iTunes. All is well.
