IMovie 11 doesn't recognize iTunes or iPhoto

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.4. iMovie does not recognize iPhoto or iTunes in the media panels. How can I fix this?

first:
it is NO good idea to use a backup-drive as a working-drive ....
second:
in Finder, select the TC, ctrl-click, choose 'Information'
under Permissions, check 'ignore owner'.-
(hopefully, this doesn't kill TCs ability for backups ... see #1)

IMovie HD doesn't recognize sound track from MPEG1 files

My camera creates MPEG1 files which IMovie HD doesn't recognize the sound track. The Apple Store tech told me to purchase Quicktime Pro & save my files as MPEG4. After doing so IMovie finds no audio source.
Also I tried to reinstall IMovie (not HD) which worked fine, but it won't reinstall.
What to do?

no, QT can not 'demuxx' ...
and avoid re-installs, MacOsX is not Windows.. ;))
simply download and use for free

Mpeg Streamclip
open your mpeg1, choose 'dv stream' as export option.. done.

When I plug in my panasonic videocamera iMovie doesn't recognize the videocamera (iPhoto does). I did the same operations several times in the past, I don't understand because is not working anymore...please

I don't understand why iPhoto recognize the pictrures in the videocamera and iMovie doesn't recognize the videos and the videocamera.
I see all the pictures taken in iPhoto but I can't see any video in iMovie because I don't see the videocamera in iMovie.
I did the same operation several times in the past and always worked it out, with USB connection, I've tryed to restart the computer, to turn on and off the camera, to change cable, to change MAC: always the same problem!
Please is anybody so kind to help me ? Thank you!

hi dlpmaster!
So, when it updates the program is working but then it sort of freezes. Then unfreezes and then again..
hmmm. what antivirus applications are you using?
as an experiment, does the freezing behavior still occur if you disable the antivirus prior to plugging your ipod in?

When i plug in my iphone to my computer, itunes doesn't recognize it, but iphoto does.

When i plug my iphone into my computer, it doesn't pop up in the devices column in itunes, but iphoto opens automatically asking me to import... I want to get my music off my computer, but this is problematic with itunes not recognizing my device!

Sounds like you need to authorize your computer. Open iTunes < Store on the menu bar < Authorize this computer.

Subscribed to iTunes Match with iTunes ID but iPad iCloud uses MobileMe and doesn't recognize iTunes subscription. Help?

When I subscribed to Match this morning iTunes used the account I set up ages ago. When I set up iCloud on the iPad it pushed me to the MobileMe account but now the iPad doesn't recognize the iTunes Match subscription but it does exist on the AppleTV since I set that up independently. Is there a way to Match MobileMe ID and iTunes ID so they know they go/come from the same place?

Until Apple allow us to merge Apple IDs, no.
But if you go to Settings / Store on the iPad and change the Apple ID there to the one you used for Match, everything should work. Essentially it means your iPad will use one ID for iCloud, and one for the iTunes store, but they're kept separate, so everything should be fine...

Music gone, doesn't recognize iTunes, won't even respond...

Felicitations, guys, :P
I have a four-year old white 30G iPod that's been working as perfectly as the day I got it...until now, and I'm getting a little frustrated. D: My family and I went on vacation for a month, and I brought my iPod along for the trip, of course. I don't have the regular iPod charger that fits into the wall, since I usually use my iHome to charge it, so over the vacation I used my computer cord and my dad's laptop to charge it.
This usually works fine, since he doesn't have iTunes (it's a Lenovo using Windows Vista) and therefore doesn't try to sync up...usually it just charges great. I always use the "safely remove hardware" tool to eject my iPod to use it, but about halfway through the vacation, after ejection, I found out that my iPod had nothing on it - no music, no videos, no photos. I checked the settings and it had all 30G of space on there, so everything was erased, not just corrupted (or so it seems; I'm not an expert.)
I searched my dad's computer for my music, but it wasn't there; I didn't really panic, though, since I figured I could just resync it to my iMac when I got home, and everything would be fine...
So, I'm home now, and everything isn't fine. I plugged in my iPod into my iHome to let it charge (it was dead) and when it had enough juice, plugged it into my computer to let it sync. What do I get? A message on the screen that says "Please plug into iTunes to reboot," or something like that - I can't quote verbatim. Well, I was already doing that, so I ejected my iPod and made sure it was reset, turned it off, turned it on, then plugged it back in...and there's no response from iTunes. It won't even acknowledge my iPod.
Right now it's still plugged into my computer, and all it says on the screen is "Do not disconnect" in a strange font. Nothing else. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks, everyone,
-Ari

Just an update - I let my iPod run out of battery and die, then plugged it back in. iTunes acknowledged that it had a corrupted file (I was wrong, then) and was going to restore the iPod, but it couldn't fix it due to an "unknown error." Then my iPod fitzed a little and shut down. Should I just guilt my parents into buying me an iPod Touch, which I've wanted for awhile?

IMovie 8 doesn't recognize my Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro

I have iMove 8 and just bought a Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro. When I brought up iMovie, it wouldn't recognize the camera. What preference did I forget?

Try http://www.bensoftware.com/btv/index.html for capture.
Also try requesting more support with http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ in the forum.
As for quicktime and ibooth, they seem to just make the cam go dark and stay dark until the cam is unplugged and put back in.
This thread gives some hint as to why :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1749742&start=0&tstart=0
" The Mac OS only has the default Universal Video Drivers (UVD) for most any USB based video camera." The cam does show up as a Logitech device, just very dark with any Apple app.

IMovie '08 doesn't recognize camera

I have a Jazz HD178 video camera. I use it for air-to-ground video from my RC model airplanes. The Jazz file formats are JPEG/AVI(H264)/WAV/MP3. iMovie '08 does not recognize the camera.
1.Is there any way I can adjust settings so iMovie '08 will recognize the camera?
2. What Apple format will give me an iMovie resolution of 1280x720 and a 16:9 aspect ratio?
I have downloaded a number of converters but only Apple TV seems to have the resolution but not the aspect ratio I'm looking for. Everything seems to be for iPod or iPhone.

IMovie 11 doesn't recognize my canon Legria HF m31 anymore (iMac 2009 ; macOS X 10,7,3)

any help more then welcome !
Although it did work some weeks ago, importing from a Canon camcorder Legria HF m31 (PAL ; Europe) doesn't work anymore ! iMac doesn't even recognize the camcorder...

Personnaly, I have downloaded a Panasonic plugin (free) that allows iMovie '11 to import the .MTS files directly.
But I also tried "handbrake" that does marvel at converting video files in many formats.
Unfortunately, my Camera is not recognised in iMovie '11 in the list of connected devices.
Thanks anyway.

After iLife 6 upgrade, iMove & iDVD doesn't recognize my video camera.

Since upgrading to iLife 6, iMovie and iDVD no longer recognizes my video camera. I have tried plugging, unplugging, turn off, turn on - all the usual procedures and I can't get it working.
Here's the unusual thing; I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and it finds the video camera just fine every time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My camera is a Sony HDR-HC1

I just tried my camera and wasn't successful at first. After connecting it (I didn't have the firewire connected at first , turning the camera on and off, disconnecting/connecting I noticed a choice (I was able to use the iSight) of input but had the camera listed as incompatible with the project. I had to close the test project I started and start a new one. This time I was more careful about the setting and selected it as a DV project.
I hope this helps.

I did the iPhone update, and iTunes recognizes iPhone but iPhone doesn't recognize iTunes.

the phone says "connect to iTunes" even when it is connected. iTunes seems to recognize the phone (even though the phone looks inactive). when looking at the macbook screen, the phone on the screen in itunes displays all my apps and music. i don't see my photos and my contacts from the macbook view. i'd like to restore my phone from the back up prior to the update, and i am being prevented from doing so. help.
prior to this i was having problems with itunes telling me to put in a password to retrieve my backup, and even after putting in my normal password it didn't work.
i did not have it set to encrypted. i've tried all previous passwords ever used in itunes or elsewhere on my computer.
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

IMovie 08 doesn't recognize my internal camera

After installing Mavericks OS on my iMac, my iMovie no longer recognizes my internal camera (iSight). It used to default to the internal camera, now I get the "No camera connected" message when I try to record. I've closed all other apps that access the camera, but no luck. Any fix?

IPad doesn't recognize iTune password

The issue occur again when I tried to update my iPad with iOS 8. I thought upgrading bu connection to laptop would solve this but after completed it seems to get worst now cause I couldn't change my password or restore my device via iTune anymore. I hope this is just a temparary hick-up of apple and there is a solutions out there. Please guide me through this. Thank you!

I'm not that I understand what you are saying. What does the iTunes password mean or have to do with this problem anyway? If you are saying that the iPad will not accept your Apple ID password and you cannot activate it because of that issue, try resetting the password.

IMovie doesn't recognize my Panasonic v100M camcorder

iMovie 11 doesn't recognize my Panasonic v100M camcorder. I've done all the steps on another support page (unplugged, plugged it back in, restarted, etc) and nothing. I even changed the internal video capture setting to iFrame and iMovie (nor does my Macbook Pro) recognize the camera. HOWEVER, if I save the video to a SanDisck, and plug it in with an adapter, it sees it. Go figure. I'm lost here and frustrated because Apple lists this as one of the camera's it's OS is compatable with. Any help, suggestions are more than welcomed.

Hey Brett...
Thank you for the link. I ended up calling Apple that evening. Found out the camera was supported in iMovie '09, but not '11. Go figure. lol. So I reinstalled '09, but haven't checked it yet to see if it was working. They gave me a case number just in case, so we'll see. :-)
Totally appreciate the response! I'll let you know how it goes.

Failure to backup while updating 3GS to iOS5 - now iTunes doesn't recognize iPhone!

Hi, I'm trying to update my 3GS to iOS5. Working on a brand-new Macbook Pro with Lion 10.7.2. Made sure I had the newest iTunes (10.5), synced my phone, transferre purchases to the computer, backed up manually for good measure. Downloaded the iOS5 update with no problem, and started the update process. Seemed to be going slowly but surely through the "backup" step of the update process. I left for five or ten minutes, and came back to a possible disaster:
- computer had gone to sleep (guess I could have changed preferences, but I assumed that the update-in-progress would keep the computer awake)
- iPhone screen shows the "plug USB into iTunes" graphic
- when I woke up the computer, it showed an error message - upgrade failed. I'm pasting the text from the iPhone Updater Log below... it ends with "Restore Error 2009."
- iPhone no longer shows up as a device in iTunes (or iPhoto). Tried closing and opening iTunes, disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone from USB port, and moving to second USB port. None of these worked. iPhone screen continues to display the "connect USB to iTunes" graphic. I found some relevant lines in the "all messages" log - pasting those below too.)
Anything I can do, short of bring both computer and phone to the Apple Store? (The phone is past warranty but I have AppleCare for the new computer)
Does the failure to back up mean that there is no previous backup I can get to? Any way to check if there's a working backup on the computer without it recognizing the iPhone?
All my apps, contacts, calendar items, music and photos are on my computer, so at least it seems that my data is not all lost. But the phone-to-computer connection doesn't seem to be coming back. Wonder if restarting computer could get it to recognize iPhone, but afraid of doing any more damage.
Any help appreciated! Thanks,
Adam
