I can't import any movies/clips

I have an U2 iPod. But since I got a new laptop (read: vista), I haven't been able to import movies to my ipod. I converted them to mpg4, but I cannot drag and drop them into itunes like I used to be able too. I have to 'file>import files to library' it so they will apear in my itunes. But when I connect my iPod, itunes doesn't synchonize them to my iPod...
I converted to almost everything now (all sorts of mpg4 the converter has) I'm trying .mov now.... Last resort is to convert the avo to flv, and than to mpg4 again...

Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP.  Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7.  So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random.  Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

  • I can't import any movies/files from my desktop to make an iMovie

    I can't import any movies/files from my desktop to make an iMovie. It worked a few days ago and now I can't do anything. Also, is there a way to get rid of all the movie files that I don't need anymore? Thanks!

  • I can't import any movie files in FCPX (even files that previously imported)

    I am currently in this interesting position of not being able to import any videos into FCPX. Not just one, or a few odd ones, but none whatsoever.
    I have previously imported some videos into FCPX, so it seems like the software is... deteriorating.
    I created a quick video showing my attempt to import a video (ProRes4444) created in Motion5.
    http://youtu.be/LLD_4YVeipQ
    I had imported the exact same video into FCPX previously (another Event, another time).
    It doesn't matter if I use the import dialog (or what settings I choose on that dialog) - I get the same result.
    As you can imagine, as a result of this, I can't do anything on FCPX at the moment...
    If only FCPX came on CD, I could at least use it as a coffee coaster - even that would be far more use than I'm currently getting out of it ;-)
    I guess I can try a reinstall, but I wanted to plea for help & share with others who might get this & wonder if they're the only ones.

    Yes, that's it. thank you.
    I changed Import settings to "Create Proxy Media" at some stage & the setting in Playback "Use Proxy Media" must stay set to this. Basically, if you get Playback & Import settings out of sync, you'll get this calamity.
    It would be nice to get a message about it - it's quite a "gotcha".
    My evil side can now sabotage anyone's FCPX installation just by going to their house & setting Playback to "Use Proxy Media" - should have them scratching their head for hours ;-)
    I imagine that you must have been burnt a little by this - and that's why you know the answer so quick ;-)

  • Can't import video (.mov) from Coolpix P100 camera to iPhoto

    I can't import any .mov files from my Coolpix p100 camera to iPhoto (iPhoto '08, version 7.1.5) Mac OS X 10.4.11. I can import pictures no problem when I use a firewire connection from the camera to my iBook G4. This is the message I get:
    Unreadable files.
    The following file could not be imported. (The import failed)
    DSCN0573.MOV
    For example, I can see the .mov file under "Information" before I try to import. It says it is a QuickTime movie, 274 MB. I can watch it on my camera.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    Is there a chance the .mov file could be imported via some
    third party (free ware) video software into the Mac, such as
    VLC or a shareware video utility; perhaps Snapz ProX?
    Another idea may be to see if the iMovie software would do it.
    This topic has come up several years ago, and depending on
    the model or brand of camera in some cases, different paths
    were taken to get the product and files to work.
    In a few cases, some proprietary software provided limited
    support for a camera's feature set; some didn't work for Mac.
    When the camera creates a hybrid image file, and their own
    software was not available in a Mac format, another may be
    available to provide the missing link.
    There may be some third-party plug-ins that may allow the
    QuickTime you have, to open and view the .mov files; not
    sure what exact ones would qualify, however, to do it.
    With my cameras, which can create .mov files, I have not
    experimented with them; as both are essentially still image
    cameras and know the results wouldn't suit my projects.
    Hopefully one of the video player software products can help.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3.  Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

    Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems.  Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4).  Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade.  After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present).  Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture.  Anybody else having similar problems?

    Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist.  Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system.  We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files.  Totally frustrated.  Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality.  Was also running dog-slow.  Constantly looking at the spinning wheel.  Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine. 
    Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues.  Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
    I had to:
    1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
    2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
    3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
    4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
    5. Reinstalled iLife apps
    5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
    Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was.  Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
    I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!)  by installing Lion.

  • Error -2002 when importing quicktime movie clips into iMovie Project

    When I import QuickTime movie clips into my project, the scroll bar fills about 1/3 of the way, and then I get this message:
    Can't open file "DSCN0812.MOV"; skipping it and continuing. I CLICK "OK," and then this message appears:
    Error during import
    The file could not be imported: (-2002)
    This happens to every movie clip. Anyone have any idea what's happening here?
    Thanks!

    I guess, you try to import 'moving images' from a still cam, right? these are in a codec (=mov is no format, just a container) , iM doesn't support. Use the free tool *Mpeg Streamclip* www.squared5.com to convert these files to 'dv stream' BEFORE importing to iMovie.

  • Can't import any video inAE CS 5.5

    Just had AE installed and I can't import any video (.avi or .mov.)  They show up grey and then if I try all files it says "it's a bad format or not readable." Two error messages about unknown exception and missing output plug-in show up when I opne AE.  I have AE CS5.5, 10.6.8 Mac, QT 10 in applications file and QT 7.6.6 in utilities just installed today.  I tried throwing out preferences but nothing seems to help.  Plaese help me.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and reinstall. Also make sure you get rid of Perian, if it's on your system...

  • 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.

  • Can't import any images into lightroom 5

    Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

    Thank you for your response,
    ...my complete goofiness.
    I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
    So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.

  • IPhoto 09: I suddenly can't import any more jpg-photos created by scanner with SilverFast Ai

    I suddenly can't import any more jpg-pictures created by scanner with SilverFast. iPhoto says 'unknown format'. What can I do?

    Since you can import into a library in the other user account there is something in your account that is the culprit. First  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Oost back with the results as there is one more text of your account that can be done if the above didn't help.

  • I can't import any songs into iTunes.

    I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

    I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

  • Can't import any images into iPhoto

    Hello,
    I am on my honeymoon and trying to offload pictures from my camera but have found that I can not import any pictures into iPhoto. I am unable to import any file, not just the ones on my camera. I have tried jpgs, gifs, and pngs from various sources and none of them import.
    So far I have tried holding down option and creating a new library, deleting the plists, rebooting, and reapplying the latest iPhoto update. Does anyone else have suggestions for me to try?

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Playing any movie clip or youtube crashes computer, problem has only been happening for 6 months, what has been changed?

    running Windows XP 3 newish computer with lots of memory and hard drive space. Used to be fine, could play any clip or movie then suddenly about 6 months ago it started crashing when any movie clip played. I believe its an update in Firefox that caused the problem as it started happening after an UPDATE automatically loaded. Have been trying to resolve but noone I ask for help from responds including Mozilla.
