I would like to use a video my grandson posted on FaceBook in my iMovie. I saved it to my desktop, but it will not drop into iPhoto. The format is video.php.html.

I am using a MacBook Pro OK X Version 10.9.5. Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 1067nMHz DDR3
iPhoto Version 8.1..2
My grandson posted a video on FaceBook that I would like to use in my Christmas  Memories movie. He use a Kindle Fire HD. I downloaded it to my desktop (video.php.html), but I cannot save it to iPhoto. What should I do? Thanks.

what you downloaded is no video (just some link to an 'internal website hosting the video'...
it's a bit tricky, to pry a video from FB's dead cold hands...:
click on the video for playback in your web-browser. (no need to run the full video)
replace the "https://www.facebook.com/…"
by "m.facebook.com/…"
the same site appears in a diff. 'look'…
right-click/ctrl-click on video, select 'download to'.......

  • I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

    I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
    Can this be done
    Thanks for any and all help

    The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
    The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
    While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
    Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
    If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

  • I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions?

    What do you mean by "HD to VGA adapter converter"?
    Do you mean have an HDMI to VGA adapter connected the the Mini's HDMI port?
    Or maybe you plugged n the the included HDMI to DVI adapter and then connected a DVI to DVI adapter?
    In either case that will not work since VGA is analog and the Mini's HDMI port is digital only.
    You need to purchase a mini displayport to VGA adapter. It plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port.

    Make sure you get a name--brand one. I purchased some el cheapo, no-name ones and they did not work

    You will need to update the address and country that you have on your account, and if using a credit card then that will need to be registered to that new address - you should be able to update them logging into your account via Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes

  • I have the iPhone 5 and iPad 3. I will travel to Europe and would like to know if I need a current covertidor 220-110 for my equipments. I have an adapter, but that did not change the flow and do not want to risk it. Thank you.

    All you need is a physical plug adapter, not a voltage converter. All Apple chargers work on any voltage from 110 - 240 worldwide.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == all the time

    Here is the answer: Not an add on or plug-in! In fact you can get rid of all those useless plugins and add-ons! Go and get it. Im using the Alpha version right now and it works great. Works better then anything else .......add multiple links for all files sit back and relax. Its all done for you with no more intervention on your part! Check it out!

    Only one downside to this. No proper installer. You will have to copy the files to your respective programs folder.
    C:\Program Files\FreeRapid or C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeRapid
    Then create shortcuts to your desktop from FRD app. Thats it then start downloading!
    By the way this not an add. I just spent the whole night looking for the solution to this problem because I was so frustrated with the whole thing. I download tons of files and I have lots of other projects going and I dont have time for all this nonsense with RapidShare and Firefox. Hope this helps some other poor souls out there!

    It would help to post this in a more proper form. This is for the iTunes family of stores.

  • Fascinate video will not load into iphoto on macbook

    my mp4 video opens in quicktime player.  I "saved as" in quicktime to a .mov file.
    neither the mp4 or the .mov file will load into iphoto.
    iphoto error message says, "could not be imported, unrecognizable format."
    I tried a new SD card and new video file, no help.

    You said that the quicktime video was in the .mp4 format and the saved as a .mov format. I'm not sure but if you are trying to get them into iphoto is iphoto looking for a .jpg format?

  • HT1338 I paused the update of iPhoto.  Now I do not want to update it, but it will not let me stop the update or use iPhoto.  What can I do?

    I paused the update of iphoto.  I now do not want to update it , but I can not use the iphoto because it says I am updating.  What can I do to stop it?

    FInd the original installer discs you have iPhoto on. By the way, your signature makes no sense for the forum you are in, nor the knowledgebase article you posted the question from.
    HT1338 discusses the Mac App Store, not available till mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
    Mavericks is Mac OS X 10.9 and later.
    Your signature says you have 10.2.x.
    Lacking further info, we can't give you concrete information.  Where did you get iPhoto from?  The App Store or an installer CD of iLife, or the installer disc that came with your iMac?
    What operating system do you really have installed?
    Did you backup your data before attempting to install?  If not, that was very bad judgement on your call, as anything can fail at anytime once you begin an install.

  • I've connected my macbook pro (os 10.6.8) to an external display, but it will not go into clam shell mode!  When I close the lid the laptop goes to sleep, and I am unable to wake it using the external keyboard or mouse.

    A rundown of what I've tried:
    Adjusting energy settings to try to prevent sleep
    Pluging the USB keyboard and wacom tablet directly into the laptop (as opposed to a usb hub)
    My laptop's power cable is connected
    My display (a Vizio TV) is recognized in the System Preferences panel
    I'd been using this TV for about a year with my older Macbook Pro (OS 10.5.8), though using a different wireless keyboard and mouse
    ***Update:  The issue seems to lie with the keyboard and wacom tablet.  I am trying to use a wireless Case Logic keyboard (with dongal) and wired wacom tablet to wake the Macbook Pro in clamshell mode.  To experiment, I tried using my Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse set (also dongal) that I had been using before and it wakes the computer without any problems!  However, I really need to be able to use my wacom tablet.  If I switch to the tablet after waking the computer using the Logitech keyboard & mouse it works, but once the computer sleeps it won't work anymore.  I could keep switching back and forth I suppose, but it's sort of a pain.  There has to be an easier way!  Any ideas why the wired wacom tablet is unable to wake the computer in clamshell mode?
    Thanks!

    So your keyboard or mouse won't wake the Mac when you close the lid correct? Try resetting the SMC and pram
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • On Comcast home page, I want to see TV Listings, but Firefox will not let me see the listing, Explorer will show the TV Listing, but I do not use Explorer.

    I think this is mentioned in that support article, but just in case:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can delete your comcast cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Nikon D3300 NEF files not importing into iPhoto with Yosemite. Videos import, photos come in black

    I'm having issues importing NEF (Raw) photos since I upgraded to Yosemite. I also updated iPhoto to the most current version. The videos will import, but the photos are coming in black. I can see them in the Nikon photo viewer on the Mac with no issues.

    There are a series of posts on the forum right now detailing issues with Raw support. By no means all folks have them - I don't for instance - but many seem to.
    Try the fix in this thread
    RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
    which basically trashes the Raw support and reinstalls it on your Mac.
    As always, back up first,

    I can't get my purchased product to reinstall.

    On what OS are you running the software? CS3 on Window 7 / 8 will not work or on OS X 10.9 or 10.8. Try to reinstall on XP or Os X 10.6 and you will have no issues....
