I cannot get my mpg videos to add to home videos library

I am moving to my first Mac and I love it so far. I am trying to get my Ipad and Ipod now to sync on this machine instead of my old windows machine. I have all of my files moved over to the Mac. I am adding things to my library through iTunes but It will not take my mpg home videos. it go through the process but they never show up in the library so i cannot sync them to my devices. I had no problems with these videos on my windows PC.

HELP!!! I cannot get my iBook to connect to my Home iMac

been trying forever .... just try to connect to servers but cannot get it to find my home computer from work... all the settings are on... can someone point me in the right direction

AT&T (as well as most ISP-issued routers) are non-standard. If you want to avoid headaches in the future, go buy your own Netgear or Linksys!
On the router did you change the channel to 11 or 1? Did you change from WEP to WPA encryption?
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

I cannot get any sound on my iPad when using the remote app for home sharing, yet do have sound when I play iTunes that I have loaded on my iPad, please help?

You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Video converting and burning home videos

Do anyone know the best program to convert my sonyhandycam video files and then what software I should use to burn these home videos onto a DVD? Sony's software is not compatible with Mac and iMovie won't recognize them! iDVD is not on my Mac (just purchased a few weeks ago)!!

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 nothing could be further from the truth 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 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.

How do I make my videos show up as Home Videos in iTunes?

How do I delete videos (.m4v) files from Home Videos in iTunes

I have some .m4v video files in a folder called "Home Videos". How do I delete the files from my iTunes (version 11.2)? There doesn't seem to be an option to do that. I would also want the library file to be updated to reflect the deletion.
File Path:
/Public/Shared/iTunes/iTunes/iTunes Media/Home Videos/

Can't get iTunes to add a (home) video to the library.

Adding a video to iTunes. "Help" (HA!) says to use Menu/File/Add File to Library or drag and drop, just like an audio file. Neither works for me. If I drag and drop, iTunes will create an empty playlist with the filename of the video; no file, just the name. iTunes v11.0.2.26

MY problem is I can see the vids I've added... I can easily add them to play lists... and when I click on one, I can see it play in iTunes... But, even tho all these vids are in a playlist, only one will play at a time... so, no matter what I do, I can't get the next vid in the playlist to play sequentailly.
Vids I've purchased from Apple work just fine..... go figure.
I SUSPECT this is Apple's way of telling us to forget about home made vids, and ONLY use vids purchased in the iTunes store....

I cannot get i photo 9.5 to open my iPhoto library?

No matter what I try iphoto opens th etool bar but no content, i have to force quit to get out of iphoto, I am on maverick and all software is uptodate.
i have even reinstalled iphot buyt no joy.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Cannot get Firefox to open on my selected home page [MSN] instead of Search

On my desktop which has Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Firefox 4, when opening and launching Firefox, the "default" page is Search instead of MSN. I have followed your instructions as to how to fix this, but it does not work. I have to manually click on Tools, then Options and change the home page...each and every time I launch.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Free stock video foootage, for my home videos and to build my portfolio

hello all who think they can help
i am looking for free (being the most important word) video stock footage so that i can firstly build up my portfolio and to make my home movies better, no specific topics really just some websites where i can download for free and edit them, not going to distribute them to anyone or anything like that mainly for personal reasons. so if anyone can help whether it be a website or a cheap dvd i can buy or something like that would be helpful.
kind regards
adam mann

Why not just generate a short story concept, shoot some video and use that to make a video. This will do four things for you:
- You will gain an appreciation of what it takes to light and properly expose video.
- You will learn how framing shots and the choices you make among those shots can be used to creatively tell a story.
- You will gain technical awareness of the whole process of logging and capturing.
- You will have something that is creatively yours for your portfolio rather than a rehash of someone else's work.

NB305 - Cannot get a WiFi connection

Bought a new NB305 today. Set it up (seemingly) OK, but I cannot get a WiFi connection.It recognises my home network, but will not connect. Troubleshooter etc. cannot solve it.
I can connect using a T-Mobile dongle though.
The netbook is running Windows 7 Starter and I have a Belkin F5D8632-4 v1 router. Is there possibly a compatibility issue between Windows 7 and the router? I have checked the wireless drivers on the netbook and both are latest versions.
Having spent the last hour or so searching through this forum and others, and tried various things I am now at a loss.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Hi Nickverwood,
In my opinion there shouldnt be a compatibility issue between Windows 7 and your router. Normally you can connect to router with every operating system.
So it would be interesting to why you cant connect. Are you prompted for WLAN password and are you using the right one?
Maybe you did activate the MAC address filter on router so you have to allow the MAC address of NB305 firstly before you can connect.
Have you tried a firmware update for router?

I cannot get phone signal when abroad

I have an iPhone 4S and cannot get a signal when out of my home country. Is there a solution for this by changing the phone settings?

Did you enable international use with your carrier before you left? If you did, check Settings>General>Network and make sure that Roaming is turned on.
