Why do my iPhoto movies not show up on iMovie
I have imported all my videos from my iphone to iphoto. I can not access them through imovie but I can see all the photos. Why is this?
Yes that works - but it's quoite manual, and has a problem -
1. when I do that - iMovie sets the date and time of the movie to the import date ( today) instead of the footage date, so I have to go through each one adjusting the date and time to the footage date.
It would be seemless if the Event Library\ iPhoto Videos simply shows the movies that are in iPhoto! -
Users of imovie experience a lot of problems and crying for help and no one at Apple did not respond
I do not understand how a company like Apple puts experts to help users

This is kind of complicated, but basically my Mac OSX laptop's hardrive recently crashed, but I got a new one and used a passport to put all of my old Word docs, iTunes, photos, and movies back onto the new hardrive. Everything was working fine until I tried to use iMovie. I filmed two new videos in Photobooth, imported those into iPhoto and then prepared to go to iMovie to import the new videos (that was my system) so I could make them Youtube-compatible. However, at first iMovie wanted to make thumbnails of ALL my videos (up until then I had just assumed all of my old 50 videos were buried in my iPhoto?), but I just dismissed that and agreed to it, and it gave me the memo that it would take 4 hours to do, but that was alright... UNTIL I got a pop-up thingy saying that "iMovie is not authorized to play this content. Open with iTunes to view" (something along those lines) and then the rainbow wheel of death appeared and I had to force-quit. I tried this three times. I finally checked on iTunes to discover that all my old movies had transferred over to iTunes. That hadn't been that way before. I would prefer to have them on iMovie/iPhoto, and I NEED to be able to use iMovie to edit and such. Can anyone explain to me what might be going on and offer a quick fix (if there is one?)? Sorry for the lengthy explanation! Also, if this requires a visit to the Apple store, in the meantime, is it possible to upload a video to Youtube from iTunes (one that I made, not purchased from iTunes)?
Pretty please someone answer!Well Authorize the Computer...........

The photos that I better (improves automatic) are saved on the iphone, but when I transfer them to my PC improvements appear no more, only on iphone. I do not understand why the improvements are just the iphone, and not continue when I transfer the photos to my PC.
Thanks.Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

How to move my videos from videos to camera roll?? I can not access them to create a proyect in imovie...
As far as I know, iMovie will recognize only Firewire connected camcorders. If you are connecting with USB, it will never work.
If the memory card is removable, take it out and use a card reader to copy the video to your Mac.
I found this from a topic ……… -
Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier! -
Yesterday We went to At and T store and they told me to download from old phone to new phone and I am really upset and I got Icloud and prove but part of still in 4S and has not go in 5S and that is biggest problem and no commuication that woman stay follow what she said but still not working so I do not know what else to do my do not understand and I would like to have someone do for us and AT and T store can not do that part so Told me Apple store and I called last night talk to some one on Apple store but told me that no go back to AT and T store so now total confuse and I am not get anywhere so and why they will not do it so therefore I do not think computer that not clear for us because we have no experince in computer program for this so both are deaf and not clear so over 50 years age and so we need face someone to do for us and told us do our self which is total upset us more so because my twins are in Orlando and can not call them because of problem contiunes in heart so I need someone who we can trust and help us.

Open this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 print it from the computer and follow the steps there. You need to backup your data from the first device and then restore that to the new device.

I uploaded music to my MacBook and I went to open my iTunes account on another computer and could not access them. How do I do that?

Little fingers have deleted the above mentioned apps!
THE APPS IN QUESTION CAME WITH MY iPHONE.
I DID NOT PURCHASE THEM!
HOW CAN I RESTORE THEM, THEY ARE NOT LISTED IN THE APP STORE????Hey Clyde71,
Thanks for the question. From your description, it sounds like various Account Settings have been greyed out in your Settings application (iCloud, Facebook, Twitter). The cause for these being greyed out is a restriction setup on your iPhone. You'll probably see that Restrictions are turned "On" in Settings > General.
You'll want to disable the restriction "Allow Changes: Accounts". For more information on restrictions, see this article:

My movies are not showing up in iMovie application?
Hi,
I just uploaded 5 movies from my camera to my iMac using iPhoto. I can see them all in there. Here is a photo.
When I drag the movies out you can see in this picture above the iPhoto app (top left). If you notice an older one has the Quicktime symbol and the newer ones have the picture of the video. These do not show up in iMovie and I'm not sure why.
S.There was no option of Movie to TIFF but an Audio to TIFF and other ones. I chose the Movie to Quicktime movie and it didn't work, also tried the audio to TIFF and it didn't work.
TIFF??? Who said anything about TIFF compression? "TIFF" is a graphic image compression format that will be listed in the option window of the "Movie to Picture" Export pop-up. "AIFF," on the other hand, is an audio compression format that is compatible with iMovie '08. In any case, sorry -- I should have said "Sound to AIFF" here.
NOTE: It is not necessary to extract the audio to a new player before performing this audio conversion, but I usually use this work flow in case I should do something idiotic and end or accidentally ruining my source file. In addition, if your original audio is mono, you should probably use a mono setting for the AIFF conversion but either will work here.
After Add to Selection and Scale I assumed I should also go to Edit and click paste which I did.
If you have the "Properties" window open for your original clip, you will see that the "Add to Selection and Scale" Edit option adds a second audio track to the movie (which then allows you to delete the original incompatible audio track). If you then immediately perform an additional "Paste" action, you will note that the "pasted" audio is added to the end of the track which was previously added by the "Add to Selection and Scale" action and you end up with a clip twice as long with audio repeated and no video for the second half.
The second one where I chose sound to AIFF would play all the way through fine and then would repeat the whole movie again with only the sound and no picture showing. It wouldn't show up though either when I tried to open iMovie.
See explanation above for double playback. As to why the AIFF file would not import, did you remember to delete the sound track with the incompatible µ-Law audio? As long as that track is in your clip, it will not import. -
I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?
... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.

2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different). I am running 10.7.5. I searched everywhere and nothing. Not on iCloud either. This happened a few years ago and never noticed it again. I received emails before and after the 2 that never showed up so can't figure out why I didn't get them! Does Apple automatically delete some emails based on text? These were nothing crazy. One was about decorating cookies for a party and which colors to use! HELP! Now I am worried I am missing important emails!
Greetings Val Val,

I understand that you are not receiving some email from an account that you have set up on your Mac. To begin the troubleshooting process, I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article.

HT4997 The imported videos by Itone is not showing up on iMovie
I downloaded YouTube videos by download helper Firefox adds software and then I convert it to MP4 by airvideo apps for ipad. Then I transfere it by I tone as was described on the help section, but still these videos are not showed up on iMovie on ipad. I can see them on Itone but I can not see any video on I movie. What is the reason, how I can solve it. Thanks
First check Restrictions to see if it has been disabled (Settings/General/Restrictions).
If it isn't disabled in restrictions it is somewhere on your phone, either on a different page of the home screen or in a folder. If you really can't find it go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset Home Screen layout. -
