I am having trouble accessing student videos that have been made in iMovie and shared with me.  Some will open and others will not.  Please help

Why can I open some of my student iMovies, but not others.  All have been saved as mp4 files.

  • How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

    How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

  • Is there a DVD creator that retains the chapter markers that have been denoted in iMovie project?

    Is there a DVD creator that retains the chapter markers that have been denoted in iMovie project and automatically link them to menu buttons?
    I understand that iDVD used to do this but it is no longer part of the iLife package on my new iMac. I dont want to buy a DVD creator where I have to recreat the chapter positions that i have spent so long positioning on the iMovie project.

    Only iDVD does this correctly, but Apple no longer want you to burn video DVDs.
    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

  • How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

    How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

    Hi yvrtoakl,
    I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on what you mean by "uploaded onto iCloud". If you are referring to videos synced to iCloud using the new iCloud Photo Library feature, you may find the following article helpful:

    On the other hand, if you are talking about video files that have been stored on iCloud using iCloud Drive, then this article may be of more use:

  • Is there a way to print something showing all the purchases that have been made and what the total cost is?

    Is there a way to print something showing all the purchases that have been made and what the total cost is?

    While it is not possible to directly print your iTunes account purchase history within the iTunes Store, you can take a screnshot of your purchase history on your computer, and then print that screenshot.
    The following article explains how to review your purchase history:

  • I'm having trouble accessing a Library. I keep getting the beach ball every time I try to open it.

    Hi all. Very, VERY new to FCP. I've used many of your suggestions on here to help me through a lot, so thank you!
    This is just one issue that I can't seem to figure out.
    I was working on a project yesterday without any problems.
    Today when I went to work on it, Final Cut would start up, but it would display the beach ball forever once the start up routine was finished. The project would never load.
    A note, I have all current App updates installed.
    (I figured maybe this particular project didn't get updated for some reason, so I tried manually updating my projects and events, but when I went to select them in my 2nd drive, they were grey and I couldn't select them.)
    Another note, other projects work perfectly fine when I go to open them. It's just when I go to open this particular one, Final Cut will not work. Endless beach ball.
    I tried a suggestion that one user had, and that was to open two separate windows in Finder, and move the uncooperative library package contents into a new library. That didn't work either, and now I am unable to move the library package contents back to their original library. There is a yellow "!" triangle next to the library in Final Cut, so I'm wondering if this means that the file is corrupt.
    Hopefully I've given enough information on here to shed some light on my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If it was working on 10/1, why not open up the most recent backup library with a timestamp of that day. Unless you specified otherwise, your backup folder is in Movies in your home folder. You can double-click one to open it in FCP.
    The update command actually wants a mounted drive selected.
    I suggest not going into the library bundles and moving or modifying folders/files except as a last resort. It sounds like both libraries are corrupted.

  • How do I delete videos that have been imported from iPhoto?

    Somehow I imported to iMovie 11 all the videos I have in iPhoto and they've been broken down into clips (thumbnails?). I don't want those videos/clips in iMovie or on my hard drive at all! (I just want to keep the originals in iPhoto.) How can I actually delete them rather than hiding/moving them? I've tried highlighting them and using Delete or Command/Delete, but that doesn't seem to work.

    iMovie does not have a physical copy of your clips. They reside in the iPhoto library and iMovie references them there. You have to delete them in iPhoto. But be careful, that is your only copy.
    You can prove this to yourself by right-clicking on one of your iPhoto event clips in iMovie and selecting "REVEAL IN FINDER". It should take you to a folder within iPhoto.

  • Review adjustmemnts that have been made previously on photos

    I am working on a library which is not my own. It seems that the previous person has applied a certain preset adjustment to all the images. Probably some sort of auto enhance which has turned all the skin tones to bright orange! There's nothing to be seen in the adjustment HUB. All values are normal and the boxes un-ticked. What confuses me is that in Aperture preferences, the box "create new versions when making adjustments" is ticked. So if an adjustment was made from the HUB or the presets I would be able to see all the originals stacked with the adjusted version. But instead the enhancement is on the originals. So I was wondering if there is a setting in aperture which makes all the images of the library somehow auto enhanced.
    I thought that it might have been a preview setting of some sort, but I tried exporting the images and the colors are still enhanced.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Yes, I meant Masters. There are no referenced images in the collection. It's all Masters. The reason why I think it's an aperture setting is because when I see an image in the viewer the colors are normal while it loads. A few seconds after they turn enhanced. I have tried to re-import couple of images from the original CDs and the colors are natural.
    Hi Ellen. The flashing of one image and then changing to a different-looking version of the same image is almost always indicative of a mis-use or mis-understanding of the raw+JPG pairs created by the camera (and camera operator). You are likely seeing first the in-camera JPG, which Aperture reads while it is still processing the raw file(s). Once the raw file is processed, Aperture will by default replace the in-camera JPG with the converted raw file. ("Raw" describes a family of sensor data formats. A raw file must be converted to an image file format in order to be displayed.)
    I shoot raw only, so I can't offer much more help (if I am correct about the raw+JPG pairs). There will be inf. in the Help file. I would look into either using the in-camera JPGs (if that suffices), or contacting the photographer to find out what in-camera settings were used, and duplicating that on the raw files.
    Aperture, of course, excels at making adjustments, creating presets, and applying adjustments and presets in batches.
    I strongly suggest using a good, hardware-calibrated monitor. I have seen "normal" images become hot and over-exposed looking on cheap and poorly calibrated monitors.

  • Lost audiobooks that have been purchased are gone and iTunes is saying that I have to repurchase them. I have all of the receipts, how can I get them back without having to pay another hundred dollars?

    ITunes is saying that the only way to get back all seven of my audiobooks are to repurchase them, however that is going to be about a hundred dollars to repurchase them all and I don't have that kind of money right now. Why are they making me do this and why the **** did they delete them in the first place, because I know I didn't delete them. I am on a MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.5, processor 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, memory 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

    HI ..
    You're sure you signed into iTunes using the same Apple ID used for the purchases?

  • How do you recover iMovie videos that have been deleted?

    I had finally finished my iMovie project, and it was finalized and ready to be posted to youtube, but when I tried to open it up it was completely gone. I went into finder and it is still in my iMovie projects folder, but when I try to open it up it just takes me to iMovie, where it has listed all the projects I have done in the past, but it is not there. I've tried iMessaging it to my other people's computers but it doesn't work. I've also tried putting it on a flashdrive and putting it on someone else's computer, and it won't open there either.
    I use iMovie'11
    Does anyone know how to recover my project??

  • How do I view movies using apple tv that have been imported into iMovie?

    I am trying to view movies using a second generation AppleTV that I imported into my computer from my video camera using iMovie.  I tried importing them into iTunes after importing them with iMovie but it creates a second copy of the movie and I don't have room on my hard drive.  Can I view them on my Apple TV without importing them into iTunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iMovie is an editing application, you import raw footage, edit it, export it and if you don't have a lot of room trash the original files. It is not intended to be used for finished movies.
    Video footage for editing needs to be in a different format than it does for delivery, delivery formats (m4v etc) are highly compressed and take up considerabally less room than footage in an editing format.

  • Firefox just updated and now when I try to look at the pictures that have been downloaded it starts loading a welcome site, but never finishes. I do not know what is going on.

    I have some pictures that were downloaded from some emails. I was on AOL thru Firefox, when there was an upgrade. Allowed the upgrade & restarted. When I went back thru Firefox onto Yahoo.com to my mail site and then opened pictures it started going to somewhere that starts with: http://us.mc1801.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome?.partner
    It just keeps circling a green arrow like it is trying to load but nothing happens. I have tried several restarts and it does the same thing. As I type this the green arrow is still working. Do I need to call AOL support or what? Thanks Alice

  • When get on itunes and i plug my phone it is says (this Iphone cannot be used beacuse the apple moblie Device service is not started.) why is that cause it was just working and syncing find yesterday please help

    can someone help me figure this out my phone wont sync cause it says -This phone cannot be used because the apple moblie device service is not started. why ? it worked fine yesterday

    That is because your apple mobile device service is not started.
    The apple mobile device is the thing that allows your phone to communicate with your computer. First thing to try is restarting your computer then plugging your phone in.  Check with activity monitor / task manager to see if it is running.

  • IPad 2 with iOs 5 iCal automatically deletes events that have been made afterwards?

    You have messed up your iPad by installing an unofficial iOS release only available to developers.
    If you are not a developer, then you should not have installed that iOS on your iPad in the first place.
    Ask the people who sold you that unofficial iOS to help you.
    This forum is definitely the wrong place to find help for your particular problem!
