I can't import filmfiles from the hard disk into iMovie?

Hello,
I want to move some videofiles from my pc (windows) to my new imac. I put the files on an external usb device and tried to import the files into iMovie. But iMovie does not import the files. Earlier i imported some files from my sony videocamera and this was know problem. can anyone help me with this problem.
I'm new with Apple en iMovie!
Greetings
Bram

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Several people have mentioned this and it seems to be a change with 10.6
If you're using Safari then right click on an image and choose 'Add Image to iPhoto Library'. Otherwise drag the image to the desktop first.
Regards

I imported 100 photos, when I was reading photos iphoto crushed, and when I restarted iphoto all photos imported had disappeared!Is there a way to find them. They were imported, they can not have disappeared from the hard disk?

I imported 100 photos from my camera (Canon) into iphoto. The importation went well, and when I was watching the photos, suddenly iphoto crashed. I restarted iphoto and realized that the photos had disapered. The events are availbble into iphoto but they are empty, the photos have dispeared. I can not believe they disapeared as they have been imported and read once, they must be hidden somewhere on the disk? Is there a way to find where they are?

Assuning you're running iPhoto 9 or later try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How to upgrade a Library on an external drive created in a previous version of aperture so I can re-import it from the external drive into Aperture 3.5.1 on my MBP ?

I have exported earlier Projects [which were created in Aperture 3.4.5] to an external hard drive. Now I wish to reimport them into Aperture 3.5.1 - which I use after having upgraded to Mavericks - but am given an error message saying I can’t reimport because the external drive is storing a Library created by an earlier version of Aperture than I’m using now. It tells me to upgrade that externally stored Library.
The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
Thank you
Bob

The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
You can upgrade the library on the external drive. Connect your external drive to your computer.
Then select the library with the exported projects on the external drive and double-click it to open it in Aperture. This will upgrade the library to Aperture 3.5.1. Since upgrading can sometimes be problematic, I recommend to make a backup copy of the library before you try to upgrade the library.
After that you should be able to merge the library into your main library using File > Import.

Deleting the old Archive Log Files from the Hard Disk

Hello All,
I want to delete the old archive files of Oracle. These files are very old and consuming very huge disk space.
Is there any way by which I can delete these files from the Hard Disk?
Can I directly delete them using the Operating System Command?
Will it cause any dilfference to the normal functioning of my Database?
If I need to delete these files, do I need to bring the database down?
Please guide me.
I need to do this activity to make some space free on the Hard Disk.
Thanks in advance.
Himanshu

Hi.
Keep archived logs from time of last backup and forward to currenct time on disk together with the backup itself. And keep older archived logs together with older warm/cold backupfiles on tape as long as there is enough capasity or following your recovery strategy. This way you might be able to roll forward a recovery without restoring these files from tape which often the faster.
Older archived logs can be deleted manually, with scheduled OS script or automatically with RMAN.
Good luck

Not transferring from the hard disk to the flash

Hi
this was the result that l got but the problem is that the file did not come from the hard disk into the flash memory the second time. I waited for at least 30mins and nothing happened. On top of the hyper terminal was the Transfer field which l used send and receive files sub at different times but the files do not transfer into the flash memory again. Pls could you advise me what more can l do, thanks.

Hi
I can't start with the IOS. The point is that it is waiting for the files to be transferred which l do not understand. So what l do is to switch off the 2620XM but the result it says is that l am stopping the file from been transferred which is a real puzzle to me. Because at first the IOS is been transferred but why it is going back to the rommom mode still beats my imagination.

How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
can I import the same way as I did previously??
but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
please help ...
thanks

Hi,
Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import. The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
In step 3 select the tables to import. (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed. This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model. To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model". This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

I disabled my Macbook Hard Disk and lock the settings, after i try to reboot, the system wouldn't come up. It refuses to read instructions from the hard disk. How can i enable the hard disk when the system wouldn't come up?

Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

How do I return my mid 2011 MacBook Air to Factory Specifications? Can I use the built in Lion recovery and wipe my data from the hard disk by reformatting it?

I want to trade in my old mid 2011 MacBook Air for a new MacBook Pro. After I have transferred my data to the new MacBook Pro, how do I reformat the hard disk to wipe all my data and return it to Factory specifications? Will the built in Lion recovery allow me to do this? I am currently running OS X Yosemite. Has the upgrade to Yosemite damaged or removed the original Lion recovery partition?

Installing solaris from the hard disk

i am new to solaris. i just wanna know is there a way of installing solaris from the hard drive

If you are new to Solaris I would advise you to stick to CD installations. Atleast in the beginning.
Having advised that, it is known that installing from cd can be a bit tricky is getting the install going.
Don't be supprised if your first attempt fails with disk-read errors. Try again.
More specific in relation to your question:
Solaris has many ways in which you can install the os, and from hardisk over the network to the machine to be installed is one of these possibities.
If you where thinking about doing the install from one partition to an other partition of the harddisk, that I am afraid I have to dissapoint you.
NB: for every version of Solaris there are several Installation documents on the web: docs.sun.com

How can I remove files from the startup disk

I am getting a screen when I am trying to quit saying the "MAC OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory" by closing the windows and removing files from the startup disk will help.
How do I do this?

That error message is misleading. Your problem is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Cannot import AVCHD from Sony SR-7 into iMovie 09

Well - looks like I join the ranks. I can no longer import HD format movies from my Sony SR-7 into IMovie 09 since I upgraded to version 8.0.5. Does anyone know what happened? iMovie 09 worked beautifully until the upgrade. I can import SD and digital photos just fine. iMovie 09 (8.0.5) no longer "sees" the HD files on the camera. I'd really appreciate some help here.

Hi sblackatc - and welcome to Discussions!
I have the same camera which works perfectly with iMovie '09 version 8.0.5
iMovie '09 will not recognise HD (AVCHD) footage if you also have SD (MPEG-2) footage on the camera. You must erase all SD video from the camera, after archiving/importing it to your Mac. The camera will then be able to see your HD video. See this Apple article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793
If this is not the problem try this:
After connecting to your Mac via USB, open the LCD monitor on the camera. It should show a menu page labelled "USB Select". On this menu touch the item labelled "Computer" with the hard disk icon (not the memory stick icon). The camera will then show that it is connecting with the computer. Wait a while for iMovie to connect and generate the thumbnails for each clip. You should then be able to import and/or archive all clips on the camera.
Hope this helps!

Can FCE 4 import directly from Panasonic Hard Disk Drive camcorder

I have FCE 3.5, and to import from my Panasonic SDR-H18 hard disk drive camcorder I need to convert from MPEG-4 to DV using MPEG Streamclip.
Can I import video directly from my Panasonic via a USB port to FCE 4, reading MPEG-4 without converting to DV.

FCE can only capture via FireWire.
FCE 4 will only capture DV and AVCHD. It won't capture the MPEG formats used by standard definition HDD and DVD cameras.
