Imovie (and idvd) does not seem to read my mpeg files ?

imovie and idvd does not seem to read my collection of mpeg movies. Do they need to be converted to some other format ?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Mpeg1 and 2 files will need converting (Mpegstreamclip can do this - QT mpeg2 playback component required for mpeg2)
Mpeg 4 files will generally be OK but some may need converting.

    I would use Quicktime Pro.

  • How do I delete documents from my iPad that were added when it ran regular Acrobat, now that it has switched to DC?  The docs are not on the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for non-cloud docs.

    I use an iPad.  It automatically switched me from old-fashioned Acrobat to DC.  How do I delete docs that were put on my iPad with the old Acrobat?  They are not in the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for them.

    Hi,
    By default, Acrobat DC for iOS displays recently viewed files.  You need to switch to other file location (such as Local, Document Cloud, Creative Cloud) to delete, rename, move, or duplicate files.
    You can switch to Local, if you would like to see the files and folders that are locally stored on your iPad.
    Would you take a look at the following document to see how you can switch to other file location and delete files?

    Please let us know if you have additional questions.  Thank you.

  • IMovie (and iMac) does not recognize device(s)

    Hello and thanks for reading.  I know this topic is like beating a dead horse but this one is unique.  I'm a professional editor and I couldn't figure this out so any help would be appreciated.  Here's the play by play:
    I edit using FCP 5.1.4 and have for years.  I've had the same set up running for years and do high volume editing.
    I have a chain of 4 Lacie drives, all connected by firewire.
    At the end of that string, I have my tape player for capturing footage, a Sony GV-HD700, which then goes on to the TVs, DVD players, etc.
    Also the end of that string, I also have a disc burner for making DVDs.
    So it goes: iMac > Lacie #1 > Lacie #2 > Lacie #3 > Lacie #4 > Sony tape player & DVD burner > TVs, VCRs, etc.
    Yesterday, I was in a rush and the DVD burner was going slow so I unplugged it from the end of the string of Lacie drives and plugged it directly into the back of the computer to see if it would burn faster.
    It didn't, so I plugged it back into the end of the Lacie string.
    At that point, Lacie #4 became unrecognizable to the computer and therefore so was the tape player, which is further down the chain.
    When I plugged the tape player high up the chain, into Lacie #3, it still was not recognized.
    I plugged the tape player (Sony GV-HD700) directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
    I took the Sony GV-HD700 into our other editing bay and it was still not recognized.
    I pulled out my camera (Sony HDR-FX1000) and plugged it directly into the back of the original computer...recognized just fine.
    I plugged Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into the back of Lacie #2...recognized just fine.
    I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...recognized just fine.
    I have a big deadline so I said "Screw it." and was just going to capture from the camera for the time being.
    I reset the Lacie drive chain, plugged the Camera into the back of Lacie #4 (just like the original setup) and BANG: Lacie #4 and the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera was not recognized.
    I plugged the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
    I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...still not recognized.
    I thought it might be a Final Cut Pro issue so I pulled up iMovie and it does not recognize any device connected to the computer even though I'm looking directly at it plugged in.
    The entire iMac has lost the ability to recognize devices that I've used for years.  I've now lost the ability to capture footage and I'm running out of time.  It's almost as if the devices were getting infected by one of the Lacie drives (I think Lacie #4).  Is that even possible?  Has anyone ever heard of something like this?  I don't know if it's something I need to change on the iMac to recognize them again, or if it's a setting on the device to reset the connection, or if somehow the Lacie drive corrupted the devices and made them unrecognizable to iMacs.
    It's very, very weird.
    Thanks for your help.
    27" iMac (2009)
    OS X 10.8.5
    Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
    Tape player: Sony GV-HD700
    Camera: Sony HDR-FX1000
    I've had this setup for years so I don't know what type firewire it is.

  • Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

  • Help: Just finished shooting a wedding and Aperture crashes constantly during editing. All pic's in RAW and even after making sure I have the latest Aperture update, I have had to rebuild my library twice and "repair" does not seem to fix the issue. Help?

    Well!
    If you have ThunderBolt, I would go with such for an External Working Drive, spinning platter or SSD depending on your budget
    This does not have to be huge just big enough to house your most current Jobs
    Once the Current Job is put to rest I would move it to a larger multi bay hard drive unit, USB or FireWire nothing fancy, no RAID, set up as one single Disk
    This would only be accessed when something is needed from a past Job so the connection does not have to be speedy
    The Drobo would be relegated to Vaults and backups
    You can set up a Vault on the Drobo to back up the External Working Library and then Reconnect it when you have moved the Library over to the other Enclosure
    This has worked for me pretty smoothly for a long while, but I have found over the years that one can not assume all people work in the same manner! :-)

  • Iphone 4 set up query have a brand new iphone 4, I have plugged it in using the wall charger and it does not seem to be doing anything. Trying to turn it on it is not working either. Is there some vital part of set up I have missed or is this a dud??

    I have just received a brand new iphone 4 in the mail. I have plugged it in using the apple wall charger for around 3 hours now and it does not seem to be doing anything. Tried to plug it into the computer, again no response. Trying to turn it on has not had any success either. Should I be concerned that the screen is blank and not showing a charging symbol?? Have I missed some vital step in set up??
    Thanks for your help!!!!

    Try resetting the phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    Then, launch iTunes & connect your phone...what happens?

    I just purchased a new to me ibook g4. I have all the disks but they do not seem to work properly. When I restart holding the C key they just spit out of the drive. I wanted to reset everything back to factory and start over but no go. Most everything works anyway except my address book application. It seems to be missing. How can I download and reinstall a new address book App. Thanks, John

    The problem with accessing the content of the disks is the CD Drive does not seem to access them. It also has a heck of a time ejecting them. Other disks seem to read. The unit came with imovie disks and I can use them. The disks look perfectly good no scratches but they just don't work, I was hoping I could just get a online copy of the address book to replace the one that seems to be missing. Or find it somewhere on my drive. Have no clue where to look though. 

  • ~/oradiag_$USER/.. and "Directory does not exist for read/write" issue

    Hi.
    Recently I've discovered that ADR was creating a folder in one of ours Oracle 11.2.0.1 server, in the users home like ~/oradiag_$USER/.. The problem is that this logging files dont stop growning, and they are filled only with this lines:
    Wed Apr 11 13:40:06 2012
    Directory does not exist for read/write [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log] [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log/diag/clients]
    Wed Apr 11 13:40:06 2012
    Directory does not exist for read/write [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log] [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log/diag/clients]
    Wed Apr 11 13:40:06 2012
    Directory does not exist for read/write [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log] [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log/diag/clients]
    Wed Apr 11 13:40:06 2012
    Directory does not exist for read/write [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log] [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log/diag/clients]
    Wed Apr 11 13:41:06 2012
    Directory does not exist for read/write [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log] [usr/oracle/product/11.2.0/log/diag/clients]
    etc
    I've searched around internet about this issue all that I've found is a "workaround" by creating those folders. And yep, it works, it stops growning.
    Then I checked the others servers that we have, and the problem replicates in some servers with the same Oracle version.
    My question is: Why this? Why in some servers ADR is looking for that folder? That folder didnt exist in any of them, but only some servers tries to read/write on it (or, at least, log it) What parameter relies on it?
    Regards.

  • HT1923 I am using windows 7 and have upgraded itunes to 11. Now when I open my music library in itunes and click on a song it says "original file could not be found" Over 2000 songs come up this way and locate does not seem to work. Before the upgrade all

    With Windows 7 I upgraded itunes to 11. Now in my itunes library, when I click on a song "original file could not be found" comes up. This happens with over 2000 songs, but it seems to be ones I recorded from cd's. Locate does not seem to work. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Highlight a song that is supposedly missing, press CTRL+I to Get Info, say no when asked to locate the file, then look at the summary tab. Where does iTunes "think" the file should be? Where is it really? You may need to give a configuration file a minor tweak.

  • HT204387 So I need a special bluetooth with my Iphone?  I have a samsung and it does not seem to connect.

    Do I need a special bluetooth for I-phone 4?  I am trying to connect it with my Samsung Bluetooth and it is not picking up the signal.

    I am just trying to connect my bluetooth I already had for my other phone.
    Connect for what reason?  Do you mean a bluetooth headset?
    FYI, "Bluetooth" is a wireless connection technology, not a physical device, and is used to connect many devices.
