I can not transfer videos from my SD to iPhoto

I cannot transfer the videos from my digital camera to iPhoto, only the photos. My partner's got the same mac and iPhoto recognize the videos on his computer.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I can not transfer video from my sony handycam DCR-HC36 to ivideo in imac

    I can not transfer video from my sony handycam DCR-HC36 to ivideo in imac. Help!  THANK-YOU!!

    Take both back to the salesman in the store and ask him to show you how it works, or, if he can't, then maybe you want to make an exchange or return. Unfortunately, it appears that the salesperson didn't look carefully enough at the camera specs to realize that the MacBook doesn't have the video input needed. You can capture the audio from the camera through the MacBook audio line-in, but that's about it.
    You need some kind of USB TV/tuner input device that has the plugs needed to connect to the camera and import the video into the MacBook. Cameras with FW ports allow direct uploading of the digital video to the computer.
    An external DVD drive that can load the miniDVD's in its tray is another possibility.

  • Can not transfer contacts from Nokia 1020 Windows ...

    Can not transfer contacts from Nokia 1020 Windows Phone to Mercedes C. Windows Phone states that it is only voice connection when trying to transfer data, and if sharing, Mercedes will not show up as bluetooth device at all. However Merceds show Noika as a device. I tried other phones and they work, smart phones and not smart phones. What to do?

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

  • Can not transfer pictures from iPhoto on my MacBook Air to any of my devices via airdrop.

    Can not transfer pictures from iPhoto on my MacBook Air to any of my devices via airdrop.
    I have a new iPad Air 2 and a iPhone 5 all running the newest updates and IOS,OS X.
    I can airdrop from my iPhone to iPad and vice versa.  But iPhoto on my macbook air does not give me the option via share to airdrop any of my pictures to my phone or ipad.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    My MacBook air is a mid 2012. When I go to finder then airdrop it shows me
    my iPad and my iPhone but when I go to iPhoto on my MacBook air it doesn't
    give me the option to airdrop pictures to them. Not sure why.

  • ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin

    ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin.... it seems can not found QuickTime_Capture.jar within QuickTime_Plugins.jar but I'm sure it is in the plugin directory.
    I google this problem but not luck!

    Thank you Benjt and Sue:
    I have first chosen to followed Sue's suggestion concerning the firewire connections since that looked to be the one most easily done quickly. I therefore had to make more room on the hard drive in my MacBook Pro since the drive is only 100 GB. I normally use an external 400GB drive to hold my video files since one of the plays last May required about 200GB! However, the play this time was a short one and not really High Density anyway like the one was in May with a much finer camera. I have been connecting the external HD via Firewire800.
    I simply moved a number of files from my MacBook Pro drive and put them in the external HD as well as another HD and then disconnected the external HD from my MacBook. I was, indeed, able to import the entire tape in one shot into iMovie. iMovie is still not working right since I found that I had to click "import" in iMovie to start collecting a clip and then hit "play" on my camcorder to actually import the tape contents into the clip. I found the whole play, just 50 min this time, in that clip when we returned home this evening.
    I can now get the editing done one their last play for the kids and have DVDs for them when I go back up to Gainesville to record their current play on Thursday evening.
    I will then devote some time to trying to solve the rest of the problem, looking into Benjt's suggestions.
    Thanks very much for your very timely critical and positive help this afternoon. For your information, I also have been working on learning Final Cut Express but as I tried to put all of my reading into practice, I now I can't even get FCE to open - but that's another story and a very different problem.
    Thanks again.

  • How can i transfer videos from my Windows 7 laptop to iTunes then sync it to my iPod 4th Gen?

    how can i transfer videos from my Windows 7 laptop to iTunes then sync it to my iPod 4th Gen? im having a hard time transferring vampire diaries series videos to my ipod.. only some of them were transferred and it did that when i tried syncing photos to my ipod..

    You import them into your iTunes Move library and then sync them to your iPod

    You may need a thrid-party progtam to convert them to a compatible formation.

  • How can I transfer videos from my PC to my iPhone's CARRETE? (Not to videos)

    i Would like to copy some videos from my PC to post them on Instagram but i can only select videos from "photos/carete", and when i copy the videos to the iphone they apear in videos (with the movies).
    Any idea on how to copy to CARRETE?

    If you are referring to the Camera Roll, there is no way for you to sync video from the computer to the Camera Roll. And, as you have already discovered, when you attempt to sync video to the phone it appears in the video app, which is where they are supposed to appear. The only way for video to appear in the Camera Roll is for it to have been taken by the iPhone and not deleted from the Camera Roll.

  • How can I transfer videos from windows pc to an iPad 2

    I have iTunes on my Windows Vista PC and try several ways to transfer videos from the PC to the iPad 2 but it has been imposible, all videos have been converted to play on iPad or iPhone. What I need to do to accomplish the task that I need?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • I can not import videos from my camera or open them... quits finder

    So i have a canon powershot SD300 and I can't import videos from it using I photo (the program quits)... so I used the camera software and when I go to click on it to show review, or try and open the video files (avi-quicktime) my finder quits! What's up with that? I have added an Xvid update so I could run Xvid files... I don't know if that would do anthing. Can anyone help?

    JordanFox,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Your friend is correct; iPhoto 2 does not handle video files. You'll need at least iPhoto 5 to keep videos in your library. There is no other way to get it than to purchase a copy of iLife, either version 5 or version 6. Upgrades from one version to another cost money, updates within a version (ex; 6.0 to 6.0.6) are free downloads from Apple.
    Try using Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the video clips to your Mac. You can manage them yourself in your Movies folder.
    Regards.
