I want to make my movie previews in Finder like they are in iTunes??

Ok so this is short and simple. When you have a movie in iTunes, the preview of the movie (usually the dvd cover) is displayed very nicely. In finder, it just shows a pic of whatever is at the beginning of the movie. I tried to change the previews of my movies in finder by clicking "get info" on a selected movie and dragging a movie poster into the "preview" section, but that does not change anything. Is there any way to do what i'm talking about?

If I'm understanding you correctly, You want the icon of the movie to change to whatever you'd like it?
I'm pretty sure you can change the icon to other frames of the movie by just watching it in quicktime. Then just stop the movie to where ever you'd like. Then that picture should be saved to the desktop. Not quite sure if it exactly works... it has worked for me, but haven't gotten it working all the time. (oddly)

    I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S.  I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie.  I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project.  I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides. 
    The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
    I can import the vertical clips two ways:  "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540."  But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
    This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific.  My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

    Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant.  when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

    You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

    Hi,

    1. when i try to drag
    2. when i nudge:
    3. snapping is off.

  • I downloaded ios 5 after backing up my ipad on the computer. Now there are no apps or movies on my ipad. They are on the computer in itunes but sync and restore do not put them back on the ipad. ideas?

    I downloaded ios 5 after backing up my ipad on the computer. Now there are no apps or movies on my ipad. They are on the computer in itunes but sync and restore do not put them back on the ipad. ideas?

    iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync.  Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1.  What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on?  From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

  • Loaded photo into iPhoto and wanted to make a movie

    I have 40 images, one song and wanted to make a quicktime movie and post for friends
    Made the movie, 128 mb looks nice. (480x640) now I want to share it with friends. I tried to load it to my .mac public it get to the end uploading and locks up the computer. notthing is running, cant delete it it says its in use.. I did the same thing with Small size 240x180 its still 35mb
    How can I make a movie with a song and share it
    I cant run iDvd or iMovie I'm still on G4 with 1.2 ghz
    myspace has a limit of 100mb and NO option for .mov (quicktime movie)
    help please

    There are a couple of things you can do. One is to resize it during export from iPhoto to 320 x 240, a common size used for posting. Another is to use a video editor like VisualHub to reduce the size down to something more manageable. Possibly reducing the frame rate to 15 from 29 if it's at 29. Quicktime Pro can also resize movie files.
    If you visit the iMovie or Quicktime forum you should find some more knowledgeable users in this area.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I wanted to make a payment I added my Paypal account to my iTunes and I need to know how to buy movies and music using my Paypal account

    I want to make a payment if I can through PayPal and I want to purchase music and movies through PayPal
    How do I do that

    Hey,
    I think you will find that you have to have a debit/credit card stored on yur account regardless of whether your have iTunes Credit or want to purchase a free App. I don't know why, I assume its for ID verification or is part of the terms and conditions. I occasionally have to re-verify my credit card info even when just trying to run Update on one of my Apps or like I said downloading a free App.
    If you need further clarification all you can do is contact iTunes Support:

  • The kids want to make a movie

    My kids want to make a short mystery movie and I would like to get some "mystery sounds" like they have in the movies of the 40's and 50's. Where can I get sounds? If I have an old movie (DVD) can I capture sounds from it and bring it into FCE?

    You can certainly capture sounds from a commercial DVD,
    but that would be a violation of copyright laws.
    Here's another method that is not only legal; it's super easy!
    Go to this site:

    and enter "Halloween" in the search field.

  • I want to make a movie from two images

    I have two images (.jpg) that I wnat to put together so they flop back and forth (one then the other) creating a movie lasting about 10 seconds.
    How might I go about this using iMovie. I've tried about everthing I can think of. But I'm very new using iMove.
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    You can't "improve" the audio quality of an .mp3 file by converting it to AIFF. At ten MB's a minute they would have a 300 MB file but still the quality of the source.
    I would use QuickTime Player Pro to make the "movie" of the .mp3 audio track. Here's how:
    Create an all black image file (one bit .jpeg format) in any image editor. Use very small dimensions (just a few pixels to keep the file size down).
    Open QuickTime Player Pro and then this new .jpeg file. Command-a (Select All) and Command-c (Copy).
    Open the .mp3 file using QuickTime Player Pro. Command-a (Select All) and then choose "Add to Selection & Scale" from the edit menu.
    Open the Movie Properties window, highlight the new video track with a single click and then click the Visual Settings tab.
    Adjust the video track dimensions from the very small size of the source to whatever works best to fit the intended display. 640X480 would probably be best.
    Use the Save menu to give this new file a different name. It will now be a .mov file with an all black video track and the original .mp3 audio.

  • Movies do not show up on AppleTV but they are in iTunes

    I have around 220 movies in iTunes.  Most all were purchased through Apple.  I am having an issue where several of my movies are not showing up on my Apple TV.  The movies that do not show up were all purchased and watched on my Apple TV but once it synced to my iTunes library they no longer show up.. I have reset and restored everything including my entire iTunes library, took almost an entire day, but still have the same issue.  My apple TV is a 1st gen. The ones that do not show up are a mix between HD and SD so that is not the issue.  The only common thread between these movies is that they were all purchased and watched initially through my apple TV. HELP please!

    As far as the resolution, I do not have the exact info but they were all purchased through iTunes via my AppleTV.
    Examples:
    - Journey to the Center of the Earth HD and SD
    - Tranformers HD and SD
    - Journey 2: The Mysterious Island SD
    - Sherlock Holmes SD
    Thats just a few of the movies that do not show up on my AppleTV but are in iTunes and can be played on my Laptop or synced to my iPad, iPod, iPhone and iTouch.
    I have tried syncing these movies to my AppleTV and it shows syncing but completes way too quickly and the movies are not on my AppleTV.  When I look at my AppleTV via iTunes the movies are checked off so as to sync.  No exclamation point or any error for that matter ever occurs.

  • HT204370 Why are movies excluded from iCloud?  They are the most expensive purchase from iTunes and just as valuable and important to be able to access anywhere from any device?

    They are the most expensive purchase from iTunes and just as valuable and important to be able to access anywhere from any device?  I find it so frustrating that first I had to purchase iWorks for my Mac, then I had to purchase it all over again for my IOS device so I could use iCloud, then I purchase thousands of dollars of movies and am not able to store them in the cloud, yet we have only purchased the rights to the songs no differently than we have the movies.  Why would they exclude movies from icloud?

    They are not part of icloud in all countries, becuase the movie industry in those copuntries does not allow Apple to offer this.

  • Why does the menu look grayed out? ("File, Edit, View, History" etc) It makes them look like they are not going to work. They don't turn black if I click on them either.

    Normally, at least in most Windows programs, and I think other OSes too, items that can be used are black, and items in gray are inactive so that they are not available. It's disconcerting to see the menu in gray, even though they work.

    Hi Melaniefromnorth saanich,
    Take a look at the Photos User Manual below.  Is it possible you were deleting photos from an album and not from your library?
    Delete photos and video - Photos Help
    https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/index.html#/pht3bfab2f96
    Delete photos and videos
    Do one of the following:
    Delete a photo from an album, but not from your library: Select the items you want to delete, then press Delete.
    Delete a photo from a moment (placing it in the Recently Deleted album): Select the items you want to delete, press Delete, then click Delete.
    Delete a photo from a moment or album (placing it in the Recently Deleted album): Select the items you want to delete, then press Command-Delete.
    Deleted photos and video aren’t immediately removed from your library; they’re placed in the Recently Deleted album, where they remain for the number of days shown, and then are deleted. You can recover the items before that period of time (see the next task). If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on, the photos may remain in iCloud up to 40 days and then are removed from all your devices that use iCloud Photo Library. If you’re not using iCloud Photo Library, your deleted photos are removed from your Mac only.
    Restore recently deleted items
    Deleted items remain in the Recently Deleted album for the number of days shown, and then are deleted permanently. You can view recently deleted items and restore them back into your Photos library.
    Choose File > Show Recently Deleted.
    Select the photos you want to restore.
    Click Recover.
    To delete recently deleted items immediately, select the items, then click Delete.
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you may be able to recover items after they are deleted permanently from your Mac or iCloud.
    For more information on using Time Machine, see Restore a Photos library from a Time Machine backup.
    Hope that helps,
    - Judy
