HT201269 How can I open a movie in iTunes

My movie is avi format and I want to be able to play in Itune. What I can do? Very new to Apple.

You need to convert the AVI file to MP4.  Here is just one of the many converters available (via Google) http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/oca/mp4-converter?gclid=CJnqnpaF37gCFc fJtAod8RUAeg

    how can i open the apps on itunes

    You can't. Those apps are for iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads, and won't run on a computer. For Mac apps, launch the App Store application.

  • How can I open a .mov file with iMovie?

    Hi,
    I keep trying to open a .mov file in iMovie and it isn't doing it. Is that not a recognized file extension? Should I convert the video file somehow?
    Thanks!

    .mov is just a container for a variety of video codecs, some of which are not recognized by iMovie.  You will need to convert it first with a third party app such as Media Converter (which is free, see:   http://media-converter.sourceforge.net). 
    Another free app  VideoSpec (see:  http://videospec.free.fr) is useful for identifying all the details of a video clip

  • How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player?  (Progress bar button broken?)

    It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked.  A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window.  The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button.  The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
    Is it my progress bar that's broken?  I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5.  Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
    Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
    [Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work.  Any ideas what happened?  My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

  • How can I play HD movies on iTunes on my windows 7 desktop?

    My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster2494 and my video card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti.  I have no issues running webpages, video games, etc. in HD, however I receive an error whenever I attempt to watch a movie on iTunes in HD.  The message reads - To play 'The Movie' in HD, you must have a computer with a built-in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP.
    Any ideas on how to correct this?  Do I need iTunes to detect my hardware? (my computer has an on-board graphics card that is not HD compatible, I had upgraded to the 550.

  • How can I open a Movie Maker video on iMovie?

    I'm trying to transfer a movie maker to the imovie? is it possible? how? thanks(:

    The 2 options for saving a video file from Movie Maker are either DV-AVI or WMV. To create a Mac-compatible video file, open the MSWMM file in Windows Movie Maker, save the movie at the highest quality setting WMV or preferably as a DV-AVI format file. Import this finished AVI or WMV file into iMovie or other Mac video editing application.
    After the MSWMM file saving as AVI or WMV file in our PC, you can play the WMV/AVI files on your PC and convert them to another video format or burn to DV

  • How can I open a movie in CS5?

    I'm trying to make an animated gif. 
    I've tried several ways, but with no results. 
    If I drag the .mov file to the CS5 app, I get the message:  "Could not complete your request because Photoshopdoes not recognize this type of file."
    If I try to open from CS5, it does not "see" it as a readable file it can open.
    If I try to open from Bridge, it does not list CS5 as an app that will open it.
    Using 10.7.4, 2x2.66 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon, with 27GB of DDR3.
    Repaired permissions prior to all this.
    Any ideas out there?

    I discovered that I had to have CS5 open in 32 bit, instead of 64 bit.  Only then would it open the file, and only by importing it this way:  Import>Video Frames to Layers...    It seems as thought Adobe has changed some things, as it used to be possible to open the file directly by loading it into PS.  Also, the Animation window no longer has the "Timeline" tab.  Not sure what that change was about, but it would be nice to have it.  Regardless, I was able to open the file and get to work.  Finally.  Whew!

  • How can I put a movie from Itunes, onto my Sony PSP?

    I recently got the Hunger Games, and it came with a digital copy of which I registered on Itunes. I'm looking to put this copy onto my Sony PSP 3000, but alas it's not working, and I'm getting quite frustrated.
    Please help me resolve this, many thanks.

    Sorry, but you cannot. Movies from the iTunes Store can be played only in Apple's software and on Apple's devices.
    Regards.

  • How can I set the movies I have put into itunes so that they do not sync each time I try to sync new music purchaes?

    I can uncheck tv shows and when I sync music or app purchase the tv shows do not sync unless they are marked us unwatched.  I have put digital copies of some blu-rays into itunes and I cannot get them to be in itunes without syncing when sync new purchases.  How can I keep the movies in itunes for storage but keep them from going to the device and taking up memory when I am not needing them?

    Just untick Sync Movies or change the drop down below to selected movies.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.
