I copied my Movies folder using Finder to an external HD before my MBP crashed and now can't get them back into iMovie library!!

I realize NOW that I should have moved the events and projects to external HD within iMovie but unfortunately I didn't. I also upgraded to Mavericks with the new internal HD. Problems...
1) If I try and open a movie in iMovie from the Movies folder, none of the movies are highlighted so I cannot open them.
2) When I open a movie using Finder in the Movies folder, it goes through this conversion process with QuickTime player which takes several minutes (we have over 700 videos).
Anybody have any suggestions to fix this problem? I still have the Movies folder in both the external HD and on my internal HD.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

My pictures taken on my itouch were synced to my iPad using photo stream. The next day they weren't on my iPad but were still on my itouch. How do I get them back on my iPad?

Use 3rd party software like:

HT1848 I purchased alert tones in itunes and updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchased those items, it says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone?

I purchased many alert tones in itunes and then updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchase those items, itunes says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone without having to repurchase???? This is so frustrating! Please Help!

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

I exported my movies to dropbox, and I can't get them back

I exported my movies to drop box, they were not there for my cohort to open them. So I then I dragged them out to the desktop and I cannot get them back into iMovie. Some of the icons are in color, and have the top right hand corner bent down. What to do?

Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad if a movie listing does not show then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
Or launch the Video App and look for them there
if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
Hope this helps

Some of my movies I had on my iPod deleted and I can't get them back?

I had The Hunger Games, Breaking Dawn Part 2, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower on my iPod. They were a free digital copy download from when I bought the movies. I backed up my iPod after putting them on, but today I plugged my iPod into my computer and deleted my purchases (I got those back) but it deleted Breaking Dawn Part 2, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower and I cannot get them back! Could I have some help?

Synced media like apps, music and videos are not included in the backup that iTunes makes.
If you can't redownload the digital copies by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store and y do not have them on your computer or computer file backup than all you can do is contact iTunes
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us

I cant find iChat anymore on my iPod touch what happened and how can I get it back?

I just got a new iPod touch and I can't find iChat. I am not sure if it is the generation (4th) but it should come automatically. I also know somebody who has a 3rd generation iPod. What happened and how can I get it?

iOS 5 comes with the Messaging app. You can text with that. It is not called iChat, it is called Messages

My folder of playlists is showing up on my phone, but is no longer in itunes! How can I get them back into itunes to synch with my ipad? Sharing on our home network is enabled.

I'm relieved the playlists (there are 11 in the folder) are still on my phone, but I can find them nowhere in itunes. Other playlists are still there- just that one folder has disappeared. I synched my new ipad to the library, and when I did, the playlist was not one of the options in itunes.
Background: I have enabled sharing on our home network, and I haven't moved the locations of itunes files or changed anything with my computer, the settings, or my itunes login (apple id).
My goal is to restore the playlists from my iphone to the itunes library on my laptop so I can then synch the playlists to my ipad.
Thank you for your help!

Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?

Ipod photoes were copied onto another ipod and orginal photos are gone now can i get them back?

okk so i have 2 ipod touches and i wanted both to have the same music and videos so i synced them both to one itunes. but then after i synced them both they were fine after i noticed that the ipos have the same photos. from the device. so now one ipods original photos are gone and only have the photos from the ipod that was synced first. is there any way to get the origional photos back the ones before the sync????

If the backup of the one iPod contains the photos just restore one iPod from that backup. Otherwise you are out of luck unless the PhtoStream contains the photos.

When I use a tool on an enlarged image the image freezes and I can't get it to move unless I change tools. I tried resetting tools and uninstalling and reloading CC. What should I do?

When I use a tool on an enlarged image the image freezes and I can't get it to move unless I change tools. I tried resetting tools and uninstalling and reloading CC. What should I do? Once any tool is used I can't change its size or move the image.

Howdy,
Sorry for the lack of info. It is Adobe Photoshop CC, I have been using
CS5 and am trying the trial version of CC to see if it worth changing
to. Any tool works once but freezes the tool sizing and image movement.
I am also using the Beta version of Mac Yosemite. But the CS5 version is
working fine.

Do you live in the United States? If you do then you can download them again for free - as long as the movies are available for free downloads. Apple has not forged agreements with every movie studio yet so you just have to check.
Launch iTunes, and tap on the purchased tab. In the upper left corner you will see a "View" button. Tap that in order to toggle among music, TV Shows and Movies. Select Movies and then see if the movies appear. If they do, tap the Movie icon and then tap the cloud icon next to the icon in order to begin the download.
You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase them.
If you do not live in the U.S. then you will have to purchase them again.

I downloaded movies onto my iPad to watch when I was abroad, I synchronised with my laptop and now they are not on my iPad how can I get them back?

If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

I moved iTunes folder location, now all my personal song ratings and playlists are gone. How can I get them back? All the iTunes files are intact, just in a new location. Running iTunes 11.1.5.5
