  • We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6.  Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

    We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6?  Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

    We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs.  When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS.  Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP,   VTS_01-0.BUP,   VTS_01_0.IFO,  VTS-01_1.VOB,   VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  Where is DVDxDV?

    You may wish to enable automatic downloads in your iTunes  > preferences > store settings.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • Why did the Apple TV update remove "home movies" from the computer option in Apple tv?

    AApple TV auto updated.  22 sept 2014.  Most of the movies I have on my iMac were under itunes as "home movies".  The Apple TV update removed the ability to see home movies in the "computer" option in Apple tv.   I can see them on my iMac, but no longer have access thru my Apple tv.  I can still see the few that are physically in "movies" in iTunes, but the Apple TV will now only show them.  Thanks

    Hello bernsteinr,
    It sounds like an issue with Home Sharing. Check out the article below for more information on getting Home Sharing working again so you can see all the movies that you have on your iMac show up on your Apple TV.

  • I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imovie?

    I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imove?

    i assume you mean for editing.  in that case, you're going to need either some software or hardware to convert the signal from DVD to something that iMovie can handle.
    there are a couple of devices out there that can convert sources like DVD, like a Canopus ADVC ($170), or the cheaper Elgato VCD ($85) that converts to mp4.  the main advantage of the Canopus is that i can convert from analog sources like VHS.
    if you're just working from DVD sources, then DVDxDV software ($29) will probably do the trick and be the most reasonably priced option.
    of course, these all are meant to be used for non-copyrighted DVDs -- they will not work on DVD's that have have copy protection, and no one here will discuss any illegal copying.

  • I have imovie and my files (movies) open.  Why can't I drag the clips into iMovies?

    Drag and drop doesn't work - instead do a File -> import -> movies and select from there.

  • NTFS and displaying Home Movies on TV

    Can someone advise me about NTFS please?
    I have a new external hard drive, Seagate 1TB Backup Plus Portable,  which I use to show home movies on my Sony TV KDL40W5500.
    As far as I'm aware it only works with the drive formatted as MSDOS FAT which comes up as an option from my disc utility.
    By converting the mov files to mpg, I use Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate, I can view them on my TV.
    However the TV won't allow me to expand the image to full screen and I can only see them in a reduced size. The TV tells me that when I'm viewing from the USB it doesn't allow the screen options, zoom etc to be available.
    I beleive that there is an alternative to the MSDOS FAT format which is called NTFS.
    This doesn't come up as an alternative in the Disc Utility.
    Is there a way of converting the drive to NTFS?
    I should add that I can't find out if the TV supports NTFS anyway and it may only support MSDOS FAT.
    Is it true that newer TVs use NTFS?
    I have an iMac 3,06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I'm using OS X 10.8.2

    I realize this is a late response, but it might help.
    Try opening the movie file with iTunes. Right click on the video file, and select Open With > iTunes. If iTunes opens it and plays it, then it is ready to go for AppleTV. If it doesn't, then it is not in a format that iTunes or AppleTV support. This can be a huge time saver if you have a lot of clips.
    If you have iTunes copy media to the library, then you are going to eat up a sizeable chunk of disk real estate -- as it sounds like you have a lot of movies. You can turn that option off and on in iTunes preferences. Unless you wanted it copied, I would turn that option off before importing a lot of video.
    As someone else mentioned, you can use some free utilities to convert the files en masse. After they are converted, you do the same thing. Open With > iTunes. No need to call up iMovie. Quicktime Player has built-in preset for AppleTV in the Export option. There are automation scripts available to do this if you don't want to use Handbrake or other utility.
    In my humble opinion, the AppleTV did not have sharing home movies in mind. At least not movies captured on non-apple devices. WDTV can play m2ts and other file formats with no conversion. I have several TB of home movies, so that was my only viable option. Besides, I don't think there is a way to play 1080p home movies through AppleTV. Nor will it play the 5.1 track from home movies, as that gets converted to stereo in the process.
    Hope this helps.

  • My location bar, tool bar (file, edit, tools, bookmarks, help) disappeared and cannot be restored. I have no back button, home button etc. the top of the screen is just an empty blue bar. Internet still works if I click on a hyperlink on the main page.

    The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

    It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
    I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

    edit: If you go to the Firebug forums, you'll see this is now a known problem. http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4012 for the issue tracker.

  • My nephew lend me his iPad and I have wi-fi service @ home, I get the wi-fi icon on top, it's activated but when I open Safari to go online it ask me for the password which I have and type in. It tells me I have typed incorrect pw. What's wrong?

    my nephew lend me his iPad and I have wi-fi service @ home, I get the wi-fi icon on top of iPad, it's activated but when I open Safari to go online it ask me for the password which I have and type in. It tells me I have typed incorrect pw. What's wrong? I even called my internet server and they cant help! They're saying my nephew must have a block. I asked my nephew and he said "what r they talking about, I have no block"  Can anyone help ME PLZ.

    When you go to Settings > WiFi and see your network name does it have a padlock icon to the right of the network name? If so it is a secured network with a password.
    How did you connect to your network from the iPad? From Settings > Wifi? Was a network password requested? Was it accepted?
    If you touch the ">" to the right of your network name what do you see for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS?

  • I installed Mavericks yesterday and have now got problems with QuarkXpress 9. Every time I click on an image and try to move it the application crashes. Anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions?

    I installed Mavericks yesterday and have now got problems with QuarkXpress 9. Every time I click on an image and try to move it the application crashes. Anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions?

    Hi Guys
    Updated my 2 imacs to Maverick yesterday. Schoolboy error on my part not checking if there were problems with any programmes before I did.
    Quark is now a nightmare with no short term answer on the way. As a Quark user for over 20 years this is just another reason to hold your hands up and say OK Indesign you win I will have to learn how to use you and Quark will be a distant memory.
    I am told there will probably be no solution to getting quak 9 running on Maverick and that you will need to update to 10 in about 2-3 weeks to get back to normal. Having spent a few bob on 2 versions of 9.5 only in Feb this year i didn't really want to upgrade yet.
    So its cough up to carry on using Quark or learn Indesign.
    I have lost faith in Quark as they are quick to send me e-mails asking me to upgrade to this and that version, why didn't they send one out saying do not upgrade to Maverick. Perhaps they know there loyal follwing will uograde to 10 and will generate a nice little bonus before Xmas.
    Lots to do today and will now take 10 times longer to do it. Is this 2013 or 1974!!!!!
    If anyone hears of a solution please post ASAP

  • I was making a movie on iMovie, and was trying to use the green screen to make a split screen. I pressed on the green screen button, but the second clip didn't play next to the first, and only the audio played.

    I was making a movie on iMovie, and was trying to use the green screen to make a split screen.

  • I have bought and downloaded a movie to my iTunes account but when I try and watch it either on my PC or on my AppleTV it says I haven't purchased anything?!?!?!?!?!?

    Firstly why is it so difficult to find answers to problems?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
    Secondly
    I have purchased and downloaded a movie but when I try to view it on my PC or my Apple TV it says that I haven't purchased anything, yet when I go into my iTunes account I can see my purchase.
    Frustrating or what?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

    Details, please. Purchased from where, the iTunes Store? If so, does the movie appear in iTunes, and if it does what happens when you select the movie and click Play?
    It's really difficult to offer advice with so little information to go on, so please post back and give us the complete situation. We can then probably come up with suggestions.
    Regards.
