IMovie is no longer opening my videos in iPhoto/Photobooth. Claims that it is not authorized to and tells me to open them with iTunes. I want to open them with iMovie! Help, please?

This is kind of complicated, but basically my Mac OSX laptop's hardrive recently crashed, but I got a new one and used a passport to put all of my old Word docs, iTunes, photos, and movies back onto the new hardrive. Everything was working fine until I tried to use iMovie. I filmed two new videos in Photobooth, imported those into iPhoto and then prepared to go to iMovie to import the new videos (that was my system) so I could make them Youtube-compatible. However, at first iMovie wanted to make thumbnails of ALL my videos (up until then I had just assumed all of my old 50 videos were buried in my iPhoto?), but I just dismissed that and agreed to it, and it gave me the memo that it would take 4 hours to do, but that was alright... UNTIL I got a pop-up thingy saying that "iMovie is not authorized to play this content. Open with iTunes to view" (something along those lines) and then the rainbow wheel of death appeared and I had to force-quit. I tried this three times. I finally checked on iTunes to discover that all my old movies had transferred over to iTunes. That hadn't been that way before. I would prefer to have them on iMovie/iPhoto, and I NEED to be able to use iMovie to edit and such. Can anyone explain to me what might be going on and offer a quick fix (if there is one?)? Sorry for the lengthy explanation! Also, if this requires a visit to the Apple store, in the meantime, is it possible to upload a video to Youtube from iTunes (one that I made, not purchased from iTunes)?
Pretty please someone answer!

Well Authorize the Computer...........

    I believe there is no  "Export to Tape"  feature as appeared in legacy FCP.
    SORRY! Just noticed you are using FCP 6.
    You need to ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • I download itunes64 but when it is validating the installation, I get the message that "itunes64msi could not be found" and nothing I have done, nor looked in has resolved this problem. Could you help me please????

    http://C:\Users\Ashley\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\
    'C:\Users\Ashley\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\i Tunes64.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package "iTunes64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.   I cannot find my old copy of iTunes on my computer now. The only thing in the iTunes folder is the written rules.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • IMovie '11 no longer finds my videos from (referenced) iPhoto '11

    I'm not sure why, but now iMovie '11 no longer finds the videos that i have in iPhoto '11. It just says "No video clips match the current selection. Choose a different option from the Show pop-up menu, below." Is anyone else having this problem? Mine is a referenced library by the way

    iMovie '11 no longer finds the videos that i have in iPhoto '11. It just says "No video clips match the current selection. Choose a different option from the Show pop-up menu, below."
    I vaguely recall other users having this problem. I think the recommended solution is to set the iPhoto preference for "Importing" to "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". This option is the first item in the Advanced tab in iPhoto Preferences (from the menu item iPhoto>Preferences). My understanding is that if iPhoto is referencing photos and videos from outside of the library - that is, from other folders or locations on your internal or external drives - iMovie may not recognise them in some circumstances.
    Sorry I can't be more definite about this without doing some research. Try copying one of the videos to the Library, then open iMovie to see if it is recognised. You mention that you have a "referenced library" - that triggered my memory of this issue.

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding
    Do you happen to run a font manager? If so, which one, and waht version?

  • HT3964 I just opened up my MacBook Pro after a few days of not using it and it was frozen. I turned it off and back on and all I see is a white screen, there was a file with a question mark flashing for a bit but I can't do anything, please help me!!

    Jerricayoung,
    you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

    I continue to try to install iTunes; when I attempt to open the newly installed iTunes, I receive errors that it was not correctly installed. I have followed the direction on this website, but I face the same error. Please help.

    latest message indicates I need Apple Application Update
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
