What kind of video files? What are you trying to open them with? Have you tried VLC to load them?

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

Video files won't move to new computer

I imported a bunch of TV shows into iTunes, they all play fine. Now I have moved to different computers twice and the imported video files won't follow me. Only a couple are identified as m4v files and play, the rest are saying they are mov, they only play the sound, on my original computer everything plays. How do I get them corrected on my new Mac?
Thank you

Run Repair Disk.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications>Utilities>DiskUtility>in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HDmechanism>look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. statusand see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk:Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c keyand keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screenselect the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in themenu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the leftside>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice,and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’thappen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior orif the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, oryou may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directorystructure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quitthe installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go toApplications>Utilities>Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

My Video Clips Won't Load/Show On Site

Dear IWEB Community,
Decided to create a website using 3 video clips of approximately 30-40 megs each. Created the site using IWEB. No problems having it work on the desktop, and when I use the localhost with FireFox. However, no matter what I do, and no matter the various options I've tried with sizing these clips, they either won't load onto the site or play.
I created the clips using IMOVIE HD, and everything seemed to work alright there, and since the clips run without problems on the desktop, I am confused as to what else to try.
I guess there is the option of putting the site on another server, but just having plunked down $150 for 2 megs of space on mac.com on the premise that it would all work effortlessly by doing so, I want to try and make it work.
Any suggestions accepted.
Thanks,
Al Crespo in Miami

Varkgirl is absolutely right. A 30-40 MB movie file, and 3 on the same site to boot, is enormously big. It's a wonder it will load at all, let alone refuse to play. You need to search this site for QuicktimeKirk's many posts on how to reduce video files to a manageable size. Also there's several applications that can reduce the size, Quicktime Pro, VisualHub and ViddyUp! just to name a few.

I want my flash video file NOT to load until I hit play...how can I do that?

I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying. Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play? This is the AS3 script I used...
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = true;
function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = false;
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
myVideo.play();
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, hidePosterFrame);
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, showPosterFrame);
I am using Dreamweaver to put the pages together via the Insert - Media - Flash...then putting the .swf file in the page.
Thanks,
Arguilo

you can start the video and then stop it. it will continue to download (which you can monitor). when the time is right, you can enable the video's play button. before the video's ready to start, you can entertain your users.

Some video files won't transfer from old Macbook to Macbook Air

Hi all,
My old Macbook (circa 2008) recently stopped working, so I upgraded to a new Macbook Air. I had the harddrive of my old Macbook extracted and made into an external harddrive, and then used Migration Assistant to transfer my data to the Macbook Air. I then upgraded to OS X 10.9. However, I have found that several video files I had saved on my old Mabook do not appear on my Macbook Air. These are a mix of .mpeg and .avi files. I reconnected the external harddrive and located these files on it, and tried copying them to my Macbook Air one by one, but they won't transfer and I recieve the error message that the operation cannot be completed because the file is in use. I can play them in quicktime or VLC direct from the external harddrive, but can't save them to my Macbook Air. I tried restarting my computer, reconnecting the hard drive and so on, but to no avail. I tried transferring other videos that had come accross with Migration Assistant, and these copy to my Macbook Air without any trouble. But the files that didn't get transferred just won't. Is there anything I can do to get these files onto my new computer?
Any help is appreciated!

Open the library on the EHD with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
and look in the Masters folder to see if any of the original files have zero bytes? Do not make any other changes/alterations, i.e. look but don't touch. If you do find zero byte image files then it's not the copy process that is the culprit but the files are bad to start with.

Hi Francois,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Pro will not read CDs, first see if resetting the PRAM will help:
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Using the built in encode selected video files won't sync to iPad

Hi, how is it that when I right click on a video file and choose 'encode selected video files' then select 1080p sometimes they will sync to my ipad and sometimes they won't. It seems odd that my ipad air can record and edit 1080p but mavericks encode option doesn't make compatible 1080p video files.
The video files are recorded on a camcorder and I wanted to put them on my ipad to use ios's imovie.
Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks

Restrictions are Off on the iPad. I was able to get the video onto my iPad by dragging and dropping it from the Playlist into the iPad on iTunes. I never had to do it that way before, but it worked. Very odd.

Canon 5d mkIII video file won't import

Curious problem. I've imported about 20 video files that were shot with a Canon 5D MkIII into FCPX (CF camera card>portable drive>FCPX). All of the files, save one, import with no problem. One won't but it plays just fine from the finder. I've run diagnostics on the portable drive and everything passes.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have the 5D mk iii and have not experienced this problem. I drag the files from the CF card onto a dedicated partition on a drive (contains nothing else, only my .mov files for import into FCP X).
I then launch FCP X and it recognises the drive as a camera and I use Camera Import (Cmd+i) to mark my in and out points and import.
Works every time for me.
Alternatively (on this occasion) try using an App like MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the clip to ProRes 422.

Video files won't open on burned cd-r

when trying to burn Video files some or all won't open on burned cd-r. I get an error#6 message. What does that mean and why can't I copy and back-up my files to a CD? Please explain whats up with this problem.

Gerry, Welcome to the discussions,
Much depends on what kind of video files are you talking about. Where are they from.
If these are Video TS files they will be DVD, not CD.
If this a Commercial DVD Movie again, it will not copy on CD.
Tell us exactly what video it is you are talking about and what is the source..
Cheers...Don

I have Photoshop for the IPad and my file won't load, can anyone help?

I have the iOS app for adobe Photoshop and I stopped working on my project for a bit, went back to access it (I did save before hand) and it won't load, the loading animation is all that shows and nothing else. It's been doing this for 30 minutes or so. I've tried refreshing, shutting the app and turning it on, shutting off my iPad and turning it on again and nothing.

We don't deal with IOS applications in this forum at all, only with Photoshop proper for Mac and for Windows.
Are you on something like Adobe Photoshop Touch for tablet?
Try finding the forum for whatever your application is on the forums/community directory:

Video files won't open on iPhotos after library upgrade

I tried accessing my iPhoto library today on my iMac, and received this message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto". I selected the "Upgrade" version accordingly. At the same time, I also did an update on iphoto to version 9.5.1.
After these upgrades were completed, I attempted to access my albums in iphoto. Everything looked fine, except that I can no longer view any videos! When I try to view a video, this error message appears: "A necessary data reference could not be resolved" and the screen is just blank. What do I do? This is really upsetting because I have videos of events and people important to me who have passed away

Hi Terence, thank you for your response. The problem is that when I go back to Time Machine, I am unable to even restore to an earlier version.
When I attempt to open my video files and receive the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved", I went to "File" - "Reveal in Finder" - "Original File", but then received the message "QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_1929.MOV".
Is this a virus or bug that subsequent updates will fix, or are my videos lost forever?
Thank you.
