If the macBook Pro will not read the card/files then you might need a converter, check out:

Cannot export video from iphoto to other location

Hello ,
i could not move video from iphoto to external hard disk or desktop. I'm using Mac Pro with RD. The steps I did as below:
1. Select the video
2. File, export , select origin, ok
3. error message appear stated that video could not be prepared .
Any way to do it ?

The problem is that iPhoto is looking in the wrong place for the file:
/ Volumes/Sagate/Iphoto_Library_2014.photolibrary/Previews/2014....... "
It should be looking in the Originals folder.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

How to transfer videos from iPhoto to iMovie '11

I can't seem to understand how to put my videos from iphoto over to imovie.

Hi,
Can you say what you have tried?
I do it this way:
- after importing the videos into iphoto, close iphoto
- close imovie if you have it open
- reopen imovie
you should see a dialog box saying imovie is generating thumbnails. Allow it to do so.
I don't know why closing the applications, then restarting imovie works, but it may help you.

Cannot transfer videos from iPhone 4s to PC with Vista--HELP!!

Have valuable videos of my Dad (his health is declining rapidly) on my iPhone 4s. I want to download them to my PC, which uses Vista. This has been incredibly difficult. I used the most updated version of QuickTime, with no luck. The videos will transfer, but I cannot open them. Would purchasing QuickTime Pro help, or is this a waste of money? I have so many videos on my phone that I can't back it up. Need to transfer them ASAP.

Hello, OcnBrez.
I know how important these are to you and will do my best to help. The first question I have is how are you importing these videos? Any error messages received when attempting to play these videos? Video importing does require Quicktime 7.6.2 or later. Below, I have listed the article on how to import your photos. I have also included the download link for the latest version of Quicktime for Windows.

Cannot transfer videos from iPhone to Pc

Someone help please,
It started a couple of months ago that I just could not transfer my photos and videos from the iPhone to the Pc..a week ago I finally found a software which called Photo Transfer App Version 1.2 and I can transfer my pictures but not my videos.
Is there any other App to use to transfer the videos to the Pc as well?
Somebody please help me it would be much appreciated..Thank you..

See the Windows XP section near the bottom of iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Also, note the following quote from near the top of that section:
Windows XP can't import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the files to your computer's hard drive.

Cannot export video from iPhoto

cannot export a video taken from an iphone. from iphoto to anything, it saves it as a 0.00 second movie file.
and yes before you ask i am changing it to original file :/

Why can't I transfer video from iphoto onto an external HD?

Can anyone tell me why I cannot transfer my iphoto video onto an external hard drive from imovie? Basically I am trying to transfer all my video from imovie onto an external hard drive to clear up space, but I cannot seem to find a way to do the video under iphoto. It let's me transfer all other video, but not the video under iphoto.

Have you tried the Export function in iPhoto? Since there is one with choices including Quicktime, I would guess that it has to be rendered first. So, you could try that and save it to your desktop and then copy it over (or, if available, directly to the external).

Transfer videos from iPhoto to AppleTV??

Hi Everyone,
How do I transfer videos imported into iPhoto to AppleTV? I have a Sony Cybershot that takes stills and video. When I import the media from my camera...both video and pictures transfer to iPhoto. I have a smart album created to pull all videos from my videos event. Now, how do I transfer them to AppleTV. I can do this with pictures with no problems. I just sync my picture albums to AppleTV.
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Michael,
Apple TV will only synch photos from iPhoto, not movies. In order to synch movies, you must first convert them to an Apple TV compatible format, then import them into iTunes. It is kind of a pain.
The way I do it is to copy (drag and drop) the movies into iMovie, then use the File > Share, Expert Settings option to export to Apple TV version. Then in iTunes use File > Add to Library and select the files. Once they are in iTunes, you could delete them from iPhoto and/or delete the exported file from your HD, if you are concerned about space. However I would recommend burning them to disc or something for backup.
It would sure be nice if Apple automated this more. If anyone has any shortcuts better than what I am doing would love to hear them.
Hope this helps,
Rod

No firewire port, cannot transfer video from DV camcorder to my Macbook

I wanted to transfer my video from my camcorder to my macbook, but there izit any firewire port to connect between them, my camcoder is the DV tape type, any solution to this?

The new aluminum MacBooks do not have a firewire port on them because Steve Jobs says you don't need it (its a recent joke around here).
Unfortunately, there is no way around it unless you want to use some other computer that you may or may not have that has a firewire port on it to transfer the video then go through the hassle of transferring the files to your new MacBook for editing. Not a very simple way of doing things.
If you want to use your current camera to do this kind of work you will need to take your Aluminum MacBook back and get a White MacBook which has the proper Firewire port on it.
Sorry for the bad news,,,

Cannot email videos from iPhoto

I have downloaded 2-3 minute videos from camera to iPhot on my iMAC desktop. It does not allow me to share the videos via email. Any suggestions?

Check with your ISP (email provider) as most all of them have limits on attachments (and videos are notoriously large files). If you're using iCloud, here are the limits:

Transferring video from iPhoto

Can someone please tell me how to transfer video from iPhoto onto my iPod Touch? I have some video of my children that I'd like to put on my iPod, but can't figure it out. In iTunes, under Photos tab, I have selected "transfer photos from iPhoto" and the box for "include videos" is checked. Yet, not one video is showing up when I sync. Any other ideas? Thank you!

if the video is in your iTunes library and plays fine in iTunes, try this:
select the video in iTunes and, from the advanced menu, select +create iPod or iPhone version+.
sync the newly created file to the device.
does that work ?
