I have a home video on a DVD that i would like to put into iMovie. Any help??

is it possible to move the content of a video from DVD Video Recorder (DVD Player) over to iMovie?

Hi
Depends on how - DVD Video Recorder - makes this DVD
Most probably a sort of .mpeg2 code as on standard DVDs. If You open the DVD on DeskTop/Finder - then You should find two folders
Audio_TS (empty - and must be so)
Video_TS (lot's of .vob and .bup files)
Then read on
DVD back for future editing
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a tray-loaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copy-protection)
C. I prefer one of these two ways
• Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
• Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
D. Read what Karsten collected.
DVD back to iMovie.
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... .
//discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3822853&#3822853
DVDs are in a so-called delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated. [i] I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off.[/i] ..
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert-'em first, in
recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds.
• DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro. 90$)
• Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + MPEG-Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10/11 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
• connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org
from. Bobby Keene
none of these apps override copy-protection mechanisms as on commercial DVD's...

I have a large video on my ipad that I need to transfer to my PC (a window 7). I could also use a windows 8 if that would help. But all of the applications I have tried do not see this large video (52 mins) even though they transfer smaller videos fine. The ipad will not let me trim the video, saying it is too large. This is true even though I only want to trim the original, and not create a new video. (Actually it refuses before it gets to the choice of creating something new or just eliminating something from the original). I have been to an Apple store, but the people there only could recommend that I try some alternate applications to do the transfer (Kodak EasyShare). I don't have much faith this will work. I think I have this application on an old PC, and it is not something I want on my new computers.
Is it possibled the size of this video just violates the transfer formats for files over USB? If so, I will just delete the video and move on. But the video is really something I wanted to save. I would be happy to eliminate most of the video, but the ipad will not let me trim it.
I also tried to import the video with Windows Moviemaker (free with W7). It also does not see this file, but works fine on the other videos on the ipad.

I have some DVDs that I would like to watch but I am unable to watch from my ipad. can DVDs be uploaded to itunes?

I have some dvds that I would like to watch on my IPad can they be uploaded into ITunes and then viewed on my IPad?

Some commercial DVDs have the ability to purchase straight off of them through the iTunes store. But you must purchase the boxed set for those DVDs to obtain the registration code for purchase. They provide a link straight from the DVD. But otherwise, as Niel says you are basically stuck legally with only being able to make iTunes capable files from your own home made videos. Terms of use do not allow discussing ripping DVDs, so we can't say how its done even if we know how.

Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use in a project that I am working on. When I opened the photo gallery it said I could not use the photo gallery because it has not been updated. Can someone please help me with this...let me know how to do this...or...Thank you,

BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?

I would like to upgrade my OS to Yosemite however, I have a bunch of tabs in firefox that I would like to restore, Will I be able to do that after updating?

Yes you will be able to (and you should also update Firefox to 33 while you're at it) [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
Just to be safe, make sure you back up Firefox [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

HT5312 I have a used iMac 21.5 in that i would like to reset the apple id so when I get updates in goes to my id instead of the previous owners id. Which in the case is a relative

I have a used iMac 21.5 in that i would like to reset the apple id so when I get updates in goes to my id instead of the previous owners id. Which in the case is a relative. How can I do this ?

The Mac, it's OS and the iLife apps are still associated with the original owners Apple ID.Normally the original owner needs to follow the process to prepare a Mac for selling or giving it to someone else. They need to call Apple Care and request that their Apple ID be disassociated from the Mac, erase the Mac and install the most recent version of OS X that shipped on the Mac, reinstall the iLife apps and deauthorize the Mac from their iTunes account.
If you have a bill of sale of some sort and can prove the Mac beongs to you, Apple may be able to assist you. Call Apple Care and explain the issue.

I have thousands of emails on my Ipad that I would like to delete permanently. How can I do this?

I have thousands of emails on my IPad that I would like to delete permanently. How can I do this?

Hi
I know this feature isn't the most intuitive but I found out how to do it all at once.
Go to the mail box you want the messages deleted from (probably the Inbox of your most used Email Address)
Tap Edit
Tap the circle left of the first message on the list to select the first email message
Put your finger on Move but don't release it!
With another fingerdeselect the first message so there are no messages selected
Remove your finger from the Move button.
Select the mailbox you want the messages to be moved to (probably Trash)
Hope this helps!

HT1473 I have a whole bunch of CDs that I would like to import into iTunes. However, I'd like for them to be stored "in the Cloud" as opposed to on my PC, which would simply take up too much space. How would I go about doing this? Thanks so much

I have a whole bunch of CDs that I would like to import into iTunes. If I do that, would the songs still reside on my PC (which would take up too much space), or is there a way to get them "into the Cloud"? Thanks so much

Sign up to iTunes Match, though I'd consider investing in more storage. If space is a problem now then you're probably not backing up your existing media and content, which you should most certainly do.

I have a 1998 bondi blue iMac and I would like to put windows on it help

So about 7 years ago my school was selling all their 1998 bondi blue iMacs for 50 dollars each. We used it for a tiny bit and then we got a better computer. Anyway I don't have enough money to get a laptop and I just got a desk so I set it up in my room as my computer. It has Mac OS so it is pretty good in that sense but it has no hardware like inbuilt wifi just the option. Anyway I want it to be a bit better so I would like to run windows 7 and do some things to speed it up. Is there any way I can keep the programmes I already has on the mac because I already had word and things on the mac so I would like to bring them across. So can you please tell me how to put windows on and speed it up. Also now the fan makes a funny noise, I put the vacuum up to the vent to try and see if that fixed it but it still makes that noise and I am worried of a fire hazard, anybody have any ideas?
Thank you so much to who answers this

I recall that this model did NOT have a fan, so you may be hearing the precursor to its hard drive dying...
I purchased the SONY Supressa USB 1.0 CD-R external burner to use with this Mac.
It burned at 2X, but many times I burned at 1X to reduce the number of "coasters" that it produced!

I have 3,500 photos on my MacBook that I would like to copy to my Windows 7 PC. The PC CAN "see" the MacBook on the wi-fi network but I can't find the picture files through that route on the MacBook.

I took 3500 pictures with an iPhone 5 and a Canon Ixus camera whil on holiday in China. I downloaded them onto my MacBook every day.
Now we're back home I want to back them up onto my Windows 7 PC as it has a 1 TB HDD.
My PC and MacBook can see each other over the wi-fi network (the PC has an Ethernet connection to the wifi router) and the MacBook can copy files from the PC but not vice versa although the PC can "see" the MacBook - just not copy or transfer any files.
Also when I look for the jpegs for my holiday pics I can't find them on the MacBook though they open happily in iPhoto. When I look in my iPhoto library it seems to have (among other things) an XML file as a database but no actual jpegs. There are some jpegs on the MacBook but these are from photos I transferred from the PC before I out the 1TB HDD in.
Where are the actual photos stored and how can I transfer them to the PC over the wifi network?

Selectthem in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder - see the user tip on exporting for edtails on the options available - from there it has not involvement of iPhoto - what access you have andhow you access the Mac disk is a subject for a differnt forum
Direct access to the contents of the ihoto library - a SQLite database - is not supported

HT4859 I HAVE AN INCOMPLETE BACK UP ON ICLOUD THAT I WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK AS IT IS

I WANT TO GET THAT INCOMPLETE BACK UP FROM ICLOUD BUT IS NOT SHWING WHEN I TRY TO RESTORE BUT IT SHOWS ON THE ICLOUD DATE USEGE

You have to do a full restore to your device to get things from iCloud. You can't pick and choose.
In addition, from what I've read, you can't get anything back to the camera roll, if that's where you stored some of your files. The camera roll is temporary storage untill you sync photos and videos to your computer. If you used Photo Stream, then iCloud syncs new pictures from your iPhone to all other devices that are set to sync Photo Stream. But there's a limit to how many pictures per month (I think 1000) and iCloud saves photos for 30 days, so the other devices have time to sync to get the photos. But there's no way to get them out of iCloud in Photo Stream in case you lost all the pictures on your devices.

I have two iPads about a year old and have 5 full folders of web links that I would like to copy from one to the other. Both have iCloud but not the same account. Is there an easy way to grab those folders or the icons and email?

I have two iPad 2 with separate iCloud accounts. I want to copy folders of weblinks from one iPad to the other. Email solution? Answer needs to be written for a user who doesn't know how to select a folder or a number of icons and email or copy them to something that can be emailed. I know how to do it one at a time by opening weblink and then emailing the link from safari.

Good idea. I've already used the feedback for my general suggestions to improve the way Apple handles bug reports (and tried sending it to Steve Jobs too), but I'll send a specific suggestion for a bug app on the iPhone.
However, my question is whether there is a simple way to send bug reports from the iPhone now that I have overlooked.

I have a terabyte of movies that I would like to put on a the cloud so that I can access them via iTunes anywhere. The movies are almost all .avi. I have tried to drag them to my iTunes on my laptop but have not been able to transfer 1 single file.

Can anyone help me import .avi movies to a cloud drive so that I can play them on my iPad when I'm traveling. It is one of the only reasons I purchased the thing and I cannot figure out how to access my personal movie files from a "cloud" drive.

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

HT204266 There are some apps that I have on my Ipod that I would like to put onto my Ipad2. I searched the app store for them but the search came back with no results. Why???

If an app is available for an Ipod touch shouldn't it be available for an Ipad2?

There are some apps that are device specific....ipad only, iPhone only, etc
Go to your purchased tab in iTunes, and then look at the top and you should see 'iPad apps' 'iPod apps' etc. Look around in there and see if you can find your apps to download onto your iPad.

I have photos on iphoto that i would like to put on to my new iphone how do i do that, also when i click on an iphoto picture a triangle with a ! in the middle comes up can anyone help me?

can anyone help me out?
thx

You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer. This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc. (e.g., movies).
But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

I have a home video on a DVD that i would like to put into iMovie. Any help??
