IDVD can't find my .mov file

I recently exported a project from FCE and saved it as a .mov file on my external drive. I was able to burn several DVD's. Then, after a four day weekend away, I come back and attempt to burn more DVD's, but I am getting an error msg that says iDVD can't find my file and it seems to have renamed it, changing the extension to -av.mov1

Hi
Where is the original QT.mov file ?
iDVD doesn't store it in it's project - so original has not to be deleted or moved
for iDVD to find it.
My guess is that You need to re-do as a new iDVD project.

Can not find a movie file after downloading from iTunes.

After downloading a movie in iTunes Store (with iTunes Extra feature), I don't know why I can't find the main movie file on my hard drive (only iTunes Extra file was showed). What can I do?

I can't find a movie I downloaded and iTunes wants me to purchase it again.

Where can i find hidden movie files on a macbook

I've deleted all the movies from my mac and when I open my system profile it shows I have 42GB of movies somewhere hidden on my macbook. I've tried searching .mov in my spotlight (which yields nothing) and manually searching through the iTunes folder and movies folder (which are empty). Any other ideas as to where I can find these hidden movie files -- 42gb is pretty hefty.

If you are using Time Machine, it keeps a "local snapshot" - backups kept on your hard drive, not the backup drive, to protect you from certain kinds of data loss while you are away from your backup drive. These snapshots are kept for a week, and one consequence of this is that you don't immediately recover space when you delete files, since they will be added to the local backup.

My iDVD can't "see" certain MOV files

Hi,
Using Final Cut Pro X, I export a film in standard Quicktime MOV format, shot on a Canon EOS 550D in 1080i HD.
FCPX is happy, my Mac is happy, Quicktime is happy, and for the most part, iDVD is happy - it picks up the files and runs with them.
But sometimes I produce an MOV file, and it's as though iDVD can't see it - it isn't there. I can play it in Quicktime, I can move it around, but iDVD just doesn't acknowledge its existence.
I've recently produced 4 films and iDVD could see 2 but not the other two. It only sees them if I import them into iMovie, and then re-export them, but that sometimes corrupts elements of the film.
The two films it could see (less than 2 Gb) were smaller than the other 2 (over 3 Gb), but i have also created a DVD where the main film was over 13 Gb, and iDVD could see it without blinking. So I don't think it could be a size limit issue.
I am running iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) on an iMac which is running OS 10.6.8, with 4GB RAM.
Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks

Where can I find hidden movie files?

I just got the macbook pro and system info says there are 25 gb of movies. but using finder to search for any movies yields nothing. I just want to free up as much space as possible.

I don't know if you're resolved this yet, but if not, try a Spotlight search for anything ending in movie suffixes.
If that doesn't help, try posting in the Lion forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

Where can I find my movies saved in itunes media file

I have followed itunes' suggestion to back my movies in itunes media files, now I can't watch them because apparently itunes can't find the original file. When I try to locate these files they do not appear under the itunes media files. Help me please.

What are you talking about?
Perhaps if you explained your situation, then someone could help.

Can't Find New Domain File

I am in the process of building a new website in iWeb '09 for the first time since upgrading to Lion but can't find the domain file I'm working on so as to make a backup. I have run the script that makes the Library folder visible, since Lion hides this folder, but the Application Support folder in Library doesn't contain a folder for iWeb. I have searched and searched for domains and .site files with no luck. Fortunately, I can open the new site in iWeb and update and publish, but I have no idea where it is finding the domain file that it is opening. As you can imagine, I'm very uneasy about not being able to back up the site as I invest more work into it.
I have two other iWeb sites that were created prior to the Lion upgrade. Each is in a separate account on my iMac. I had moved the domain files for these sites out of the Library/Application Support/iWeb folders to more easily accessible folders prior to the Lion upgrade, so they are fine.
It's the new site that is causing me concern.
Interestingly, when I move one of the old domains to a new account on my iMac as a test, when I double click on it, iWeb launches but wants me to create a new website rather than opening the site associated with the old domain file.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Use the freeware app Find File to track down the Domain - or Domain.sites2 - file...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
See this page for info about opening Domain files using Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
Also note that you don't have to run a script to show the user Library. Just open the Finder Go menu while holding down the option key.
On the same page you will find a link to the freeware Mountain Tweaks which will hide/show the library plus a lot of other exciting tweaks.

IWeb works, but I can't find the domain file!!!!

OK - this one has had me stumped for a few days now... I have iWeb (vs. 1.1.2 - from the '06 iLife). I need to find the domain file. It isn't in the home/library/app. support/iWeb folder. I didn't move it. I searched for it using command-F and using spotlight on my computer.
iWeb is to reset and start from scratch if there isn't a domain file on your hard drive. So I know it's there somewhere (at least, I think it is?). My site is there. I can publish. I can make changes, however I can't find the domain file to make a back up of it. I don't think that I made it invisible - could I have somehow done that? And if so, is it possible to find it? I believ the program only works if the file is named "domain" so I don't think that I could have accidentally renamed it.
Is there someone out there who can help me? I don't want to have to start from scratch and rebuild the websites.
Thanks for your input!

This is from Multisite's Technical Page:
Technical Information
While you don’t need to understand how data is stored to use Multisite for iWeb it can be helpful occasionally to understand what is going on behind the scenes. At a nuts and bolts level Multisite for iWeb stores all of its sites in your home folder’s Documents folder in a single package (which is really a fancy folder dressed up to look like a file) called “Multisite for iWeb Data.mfi.”
You can open that package like this.
Once you get your domain file straightened out I'd definitely get Varkgirl's Automator application to make frequent backups of that file. You can get it Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site.

Where can I find my iweb file in my local system?

I want to move my iweb content to a hosting service. Where can I find the iweb files to move it on my local system?

You can publish directly to the server from iWeb via the built in FTP or to a local folder...

I have a receipt for a rented movie but can't find the movie in iTunes or on Video app.

I have a receipt for a rented movie but can't find the movie in iTunes or on Video app. Shouldn't it show in my movie file on iTunes or Video app on iPad?

If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into its Videos app - if it hasn't completed downloading then it might still show in the iTunes app in a Downloads tab in it (Downloads only shows if there are downloads happening), the iTunes app on your iPad is just the store.
If it doesn't show in Videos then does it show via the iPad's spotlight search screen : pull down the centre of the homescreen (not from the very top of the screen, that will open Notification Centre) ?
If you rented it on your computer's iTunes then you will have to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and use its Movies tab to move it over to the iPad - rentals are a one-time only download, so won't show on your iPad for redownloading.
If you can't find it on the device/computer that you rented it on then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

How can I copy or move files with elements 10 organizer ?

Hello,
since a couple of days I use Elements10 Organizer under Windows 7 Home. Since then Im testing how to come along with the product and it's features. Though I had many good impressions of many functions that work excellent I now have severe problems to organize my workflow. The problem is: I can*t copy or move files or directories with the organizer and worse, I can't find files or directories that where copied, moved or renamed by Windows 7 Explorer even when I import or load the specified directory into the elements10 catalogue again. Off course I understand the elements 10 philosophy to have an image only one time within the data base and to arrange every collecting idea by tags and catagiories. Nevertheless there is a need to have sometimes a copy and also to know where the copy is and to manage it. Right now I find no way to handle these tasks by elements 10 organizer. I am a newbe on photoshop elements.
I would appreciate if there is anybody who knows a solution to me. Thanks and bye, Woenni

I am also having this same exact problem. Only some, and not all of the files on my external hard drive will copy. I get the "No Symbol" when trying to copy or move files.
I am able to duplicate all files. I also can right click on a file and select copy. However on some files, I can't ever paste it (paste doesn't show up or is grayed out), drag it to another folder, or drag-and-copy it to another location or drive.
The files are not locked and I have read and write permissions.
The external that I'm trying to move and copy files from is a FAT32. Could that be a problem? How do I get my files off of this drive?
*PLEEEEASE HELP!*

How can I convert a MOV file to 4K MP4?

How can I convert a MOV file to 4K MP4 file? I can't find any default setting for MP4 nor I do known how to set one.

Start with the Plus sign in the Setting pane> New Setting. Choose MPEG4 from dropdown. Give it a name and save and it will be saved in your custom presets. Make adjustments to resolution, bit rate, etc in Inspector.

Finding all .mov files

hello, I have been trying to wrangle all my .mov files and was wondering if anybody knows a good way to do this.
I am looking to consolidate the movies I shot and were downloaded using iphoto. The folder structure for iphoto is deep and I do not have the time to open every folder to capture the file and put it in a common movies folder. Also, I have a lot of .mov files that I have downloaded from our server at work or from emails that I would like to archive and pull off my limited solid state hard drive. I was able to find and move files using spotlight but it is hard to know if I have everything and have not been able to use spotlight to delete the files that I have transfered to another disk so a therfore not saving disk space.
Any thoughts or tools would be most appreciated.

Well, first, you should not delete any files that you find are part of the iPhoto structure. iPhoto uses a database linked to the media files, and if you move or remove files that are within its library, you will corrupt the database and risk the library being unuseable.
I would do it in two sets of searches - I would first search the Finder. It's better to search for all files of type "movie" than to restrict it to the ".mov" extension. Type "movie" in any Finder search box, and the dropdown should offer "Kind - Movie". Click that. Make sure that "Search" (the location along the top of the window) reads "This Mac" (you'll get a better results list than if you restrict it to "All my files").
Do the second search within iPhoto itself (not in the Finder). Open iPhoto, and create a new smart album. For the criteria, set "type" to "movie". You can then drag (to copy) these movies out of iphoto and into your preferred Finder location. If you prefer, you can then delete them from iPhoto (select all and cmd-delete).

I registered a digital copy of a movie on disneymoviesanywhere. I connected the account to my itunes account but I can't find the movie on my itunes account. I'm just trying to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

Hey cptniemo,
Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
Download past purchases

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.
