IMovie & iTunes

I am trying to share my iMovie with Quicktime or iDVD and it is telling me that "this computer is not authorized to play these songs from iTunes"! If anyone can help I would appreciate it. I didn't get good news from my one-to-one today. What the heck? I am the only person on this computer and nothing has changed except for loading iMovie '08.

how would i do that...hopefully, it is that easy. I'll try anything at this point.

  • FinalCut Express, iMovie, iTunes ALL crash when I connect my DV camcorder..

    Very weird, to me anyway. Two days ago I followed Apple's directions as to how to move my iTunes Library to a new external HD (my main HD was getting perilously full). This worked fine.
    However: Now neither Final Cut nor iMovie recognizes my Cannon ZR700 when I try to import/capture footage from it. So long as the camera is plugged into the firewire port & "on" in VTR mode, Final Cut Express, iMovie, & iTunes (why iTunes? what does it have to do with a Cannon ZR700 DV camera?) all freeze up. If I turn the power on the camera off, they un-freeze.
    But the main issue is this:
    I cannot import ANY clips from the Cannon ZR700 nor get any program to recognize it, whereas before all did. (And why the heck would attaching a camcorder cause iTunes to freeze?)
    Anyone gotta clue? This baffles me. I have tried: 1) Restarting the computer; 2) plugging the new external HD (a 500 gig Lacie) & the camera into different firewire ports; 3) verifying & repairing permissions on all drives.
    NOTHING helps.

    Thank you for the suggestions.

    Check. I did this, using the second of the two links you provided (the first seemed to be for MacBook Pros.
    Try to repair permission by open application folder >
    utilities > disk utility > repair permission, or run
    ONYX or machelpmate to repair and optimize your HD.
    Check. Did this too, several times. I did it with Dick Utility. I did it booting from my Intsallation Disk. Now I have done w/ Mac Helpmate.
    when your external connected, open application
    folder> utilities > disk utility andrepair disk for
    that external.
    Yes. Did this several times too. None of the utilities reports any problems.
    Here is some more information:
    1) A strange thing: When iMovie or FC Exp freeze while the Cannon ZR700 is on & plugged in, turning the camera off works like a "switch" that sets the programs running again. Very strange.
    2) I get the following message in Final Cut on startup if the camera is connected:
    "Unable to locate the following external devices:
    Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480)."
    I do not know what this means. I never saw it before when the ZR700 used to work. I am also asked to check my "capture presets." I suppose I do this in "Easy Set-up." I checked & it is set up for DV-NTSV Firewire Basic. I changed it to a number of other settings: No go. Never recognizes the camera.
    3) I am in Japan using an iMac bought here. The Cannon ZR700 I got in the USA. However, as I indicated, they worked fine together until this week: until I added the new external 500 gig HD.
    Still puzzled!

  • How do I transfer all tunes(only some appear in the imovie 11 itunes library) in my itunes library into the new iMovie itunes library? How do I restore all the music (not all added from imovie 9) play in my videos transferred from imovie 9 into iMovie 11?

    How do I recover the many imovie 9 projects that did not transfer from imovie 9 into imovie 11? How do I make all of my  itunes library accessible to the itunes library in imovie 11. How do I recover those music audio tracks lost in the transfer from  imovie 9 projects  into imovie 11? How do I add music from my itunes library into imovie 11 projects. Some do and others cannot. 

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

  • Unable to download iMove & iTune updates

    I have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. I am now unable to download iMove and iPhoto updates. I have contacted iTunes and have been told it is a technical problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Worked out what the problem was; evidently Mountain Lion does not like iLife 09 and needs to be updated with iLife11 before it can download. To enable Mountiain Lion to download, iLife11 was installed at the Apple Shop; to access updates I need to purchase iLife11 on my account.

  • IMovie iTunes Sharing

    I transfer videos from iMovie to iTunes for viewing on Apple TV. iMovie used to transfer as mpeg-4 file so it could be viewed on Apple TV straight away. Now it transfers it as Quicktime and I have to convert it to apple tv in iTunes. Is there a setting I can change so that it automatically transfers it as mpeg-4.

    Hi applefandan
    Thanks very much for your response. Very much appreciated. I always export as HD720 or HD1080. I just looked and noticed that these are not compatible with apple tv, which is very strange. I thought Apple TV supported these?

  • IMovie + iTunes - iPod is there a DRM issue?

    Hi,
    I have been editing some vidoe/photo files stored in iPhoto using iMovie and adding a sound track from iTunes (some music from my CDs other from songs purchased on the iTunes store). Once the movie created, I use MPEG Streamclip to export to iPod format to store the movie both in iTunes and the iPod. The problem is that in iPod format I lose the audio from the movies that use the iTunes sound tracks (not for the ones that have a sound track from my CDs). I was wondering if this was due to the DRM thing, and if so, is there a way to achieve my goal (preferably legally)? For example would Quicktime Pro or iLife allow me to do this?
    Thanks,

    mindlikewater
    "I was wondering if this was due to the DRM
    thing"
    It might be.
    One workaround is to first burn the iTunes Music
    Store bought tracks to a CD and then import them to
    iMovie.
    iMovie HD 6 might also solve the problem. It is able
    to output directly to an iPod friendly format.
    Matt
    Hi Matt,
    I tested your suggestion and burned one of the songs purchased on iTunes to CD and reimported it into iMovie. This was followed by a conversion to mp4 using MPEG Streamclip as I had done before except that this time I do not lose the soundtrack.
    I suppose the question is, will Quicktime Pro or the iLife version of iMovie do this without the intermediate step of burning the CD.
    Thanks.

  • Video storage for all videos: In iPhoto? In iTunes? In iMovie? Or...?

    I want a simple solution to gain acces to all my videos on Apple TV
    I want to have all my videos in ONE PLACE!!! Right now they are scattered all over my system. I don´t want to search iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes and different folders every time I want to play my different video files and movies on... let´s say Apple TV. Why can´t we have ONE deticated unified "storage and play back" solution for all our video files on Mac OSX? Or at least a front-end that showcases ALL your videos and that is enabled to fetch ANY of those videos for directly playback right there.
    I do understand the need for different input solutions/apps for videos such as iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, Aperture. BUT after processing (or what ever you do with your videos) in those Apps, it would be great to be able to transfer... or keep a grand overwiev of all your videos and movies... in ONE place!
    Right now I have video file duplicates all over the place because I want to acces videos easily on my Apple TV and from what ever of the following apps I have open... iTunes - iPhoto - iMovie- (Vimeo) - (Youtube).
    I can acces all of my music in ONE place in iTunes. I want a simular "ONE place solution" for my... holiday videos... my downloaded videos... my production videos (iMove etc.) etc. etc.
    My question for now is: As we don´t have a proper solution for this yet, then what is at the present, the best and most simple solution to gain acces to my many different videos via Apple TV? I would like to avoid a media server and keep the files on my Mac.  

    If you want to play them on AppleTV, they need to be in iTunes - simplest way to do this from iMovie is using Share to menu and adding to iTunes.

  • Itunes music won't import into imovie?

    I've never had any trouble bringing ITunes music into IMovie, but since this new upgrade in the past few weeks, now when I go to put an itune at the playhead, it tells me the computer isn't authorized for this song (any song that I've purchased from itunes - I tried many) and to authorize it. I go thru the procedure to authorize the computer and it says I did, and then I go to move the song to imovie and it says once again, it isn't authorized....and I do it again, and it says it's authorized, and then I got to imovie and it says it isn't. ad infinitum. Apple techs were helping me and then they decided that I should call Apple Care and there would be a charge....really irritated me. I would assume it's some bug in Imovie since Itunes recognizes the songs as authorized. and something in the new version that they need to fix. Anyone else with this problem???

    I had a very similar issue with one specific track in my latest iMovie project, and only on one Mac (the project was moved between 3 systems, all authorized to play my iTunes-purchased music.
    The system would tell me that the audio track couldn't be played because the system wasn't authorized, and ask me if I wanted to authorize it. I'd click 'yes', iTunes would open, I'd confirm I wanted to authorize the system, and either the track would play, but then after iMovie was next launched report the track wouldn't play and go round the same circle, or it would 'play' but give no sound.
    It's not an issue with iMovie as far as I can tell because the music played on that system perfectly before I updated to iTunes 7. It's not an authorization issue because iTunes plays the tune perfectly well without any error. I suspect it's an issue with the music - perhaps something in the migration from iTunes 6 to 7 when the library is being 'converted' is causing it.
    Sorry, that didn't help resolve the problem, but at least it may help to know you're not alone in experiencing iMovie/iTunes/purchased music issues!

  • Merging iphoto libraries (& itunes, imovie) backups

    My relative had her 4 macs taken to an apple dealer and asked them to take all the 'stuff' (photos, movies were the reason) and merge them onto the largest sized mac (macpro). I believe they ended up the MacPro now has 4 internal hard drives (I don't think any are partitioned, I'll find out if need to). The main HD is 1TB and half this space is used. Then the other 3 internal hard drives have 250GB(?) and (what I think are) 'copies' of the other 3 mac computers "stuff". She got a 1TB external hard drive to backup with time machine the mac pro (not using yet). She did this because she has a ginourmous iphoto library and wanted them all merged, then backed up with ability to remove all/or some photos from library. She has burned several iphoto DVDs (not using export) as a hard copy of photo files (not completely done yet).
    The "copies" of the 3 internal hard drives show these folders: Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, ..., Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, etc.  How can I merge the Pictures, Movies and Music "stuff" (or libraries/data) from the 3 onto the 1 (1TB) hard drive. After I learn how to do this, can I simply delete all these folders "copied" on the 3 hard drives??
    The plan is to merge the 3 iphoto libraries (or data?) to the main internal 1TB macpro HD's iphoto library, then delete the backup iphoto libraries from each "backed up" internal hard drive. Then to finish backing up all photos to DVDs, then get Time Machine backing up to the external 1TB.  Plus there is carbon clone application (?) that they added to her mac, will I need to make a clone of the final version when it's all done? I'm guessing this is what they used to make the "copies" of the computers.
    I hope this makes sense, I knew it'd be hard to explain and I'm trying to go by memory... I know this is iphoto section, so if there is a link to the imovie/itunes issue please help with a link. I know they are each separate issues.
    THANKS!

    Thank you, I will look at that for merging them. I was just thinking the DVDs as an extra backup, besides also having a copy on an external hd, or one of the internal drives. Yes time consuming. But extra can't hurt. I also thought of printing index cards to have as reference, especially if we remove some of the photos from the library.
    I found for imovie merging: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11710306#11710306 not sure if its the full answer.
    For the itunes library merge I found: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11924952#11924952 (looks long but didn't find anything else)

  • Can find imovie in Itunes once I have published

    Their seems to be a problem publishing the imovie to itunes. I have try several times and each time i look in Itunes it's not found. What I'm I doing wrong????

    I'm having the exact same problem. Latest versions of both program. The file makes it to my iMovie iTunes sharing folder, but not to the iTunes Movie folder. I know this has worked in the past, but not sure why it isn't working now.

  • How can i get an old version of iMovie?

    Hello peeps!
    I have an ibook G4. When I got it it had the iMovie icon on the dashboard but iMovie wouldn't load so i deleted the icon. A friend of mine thought he might be able to sort it out for me but couldn't - he couldn't find iMovie on my machine so he tried putting a copy on but the  computer refused to do it as apparently this machine has a newer version already installed... but we can't find it!
    What do I do?!
    I thought I could buy iMovie but the website only offers '11 and it says you need a newer operating system than I have.
    Cheers guy's, would love some help with this conundrum.
    Imogen

    Imovie is supose to be in the applications folder. If not go to the finder open and the type in imovie.  Ilife is  a package. with imovie itunes iphoto and garage band.If you have newer versions of the other apps on your computer than his copy of ilife won't install.  I think there is an option on the disk to do a custom installl, which lets you only install the appt, you want. I have a copy on dvd of ilife o5 for  OS10.3 and OS 10.4 I know it will not install on snow leopard tried it.

  • Import a video from itunes

    I purchased a video from itunes and saved it as a quicktime movie on my desktop. I am working on a imovie project and wanted to use a clip from the video. When I try to import the video it says that the computer is not authorized through itunes. I type in my password to authorize and it says that the computer is... and then another message comes up that imovie/itunes is not authorized to use it in imovie. Its like mac won't allow you to use the video clip??? What can I do? Please help!

    That sounds about right.
    Apple's ability to sell music and tv shows is probably based on strict agreements regarding the terms under which customers can use the product.
    And there are differences between use of music and video. For example, you can copy tracks from a cd, burn to a disc, put them on your iPod etc. Defeating dvd encryption, however, even for personal use, is illegal in the United States, but is a bit more fuzzy in other countries.
    So you may have just hit the first line of defense in the war against video piracy. It's a heck of a lot easier than stopping people from copying dvds.
    At the same time, someone here may already have found a workaround. Hang out and see.
    Sorry to be a downer.

  • "IMovie unexpectedly quit" while in the middle of editing. HELP!!!

    Hi,
    I've had my Macbook for almost a year and have had almost zero problems with it until recently. IMovie, ITunes, Safari and pretty much any other program I oftenly use "unexpectedly quits" while in the middle of using it. Mostly at the worst possilbe times. For example, almost finishing a video edit, in tern losing everything I've worked on for sometimes up to 2 hours of work. This problem is getting more and more often by the day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.
    I thought Macs don't get viruses but this is definitely a sign of some sort of virus to me.
    HELP!!!!
    Thank you,
    Dillon
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi Dillon
    Virus - Very un-likely.
    A confused hard disk - most likely: There are maintenance to do to all computers
    Widows as Macs.
    a. If You let Your Mac run from 00:00:00 to about 2 am there is an automated
    sequence that runs and does some tidying up.
    b. Other things to do:
    - Repair Permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
    - Repair Hard disk (Apple Disk Util tool) - You need to start from CD/DVD or
    one external hard disk
    - Eventually: Start a new account - log into this and re-try.
    The "Repair Permissions" is suggested by many of us in this forum to be run
    - before a new instalment of programs AND
    - after the instal.
    c. Another thought: How much free space is there on Your hard disk.
    - Mac OS needs about 10Gb just to keep everything open
    - eg. iDVD needs about 15Gb more to do it's job
    - the material to be processed eg. a movie file that iDVD should convert to
    mpeg2 and a DVD-disk needs storage eg about 13Gb/hour
    So You see it is really easy to get into "Low free space" - troubles.
    If about 5Gb or less free - You would certainly get into strange problems.
    Please - keep us updated on progress.
    Yours Bengt W

  • I want to wipe the hard drive on my apple G4 powerbook clean. I do not have the original discs that came with the laptop. I do have the OS x 10.4 disc that I purchased. When I reinstall 10.4 will that disc also have itunes iphoto and safari on it.

    I have an apple powerbook g4 running 10.3.9 which my daughter gave me. However all the installation discs were lost. I just purchaed OS x Panther for it. I want to wipe the hard drive clean to get rid of all of her personal information as I want to donate the laptop to a needy family. Do I need the installation discs or will the panther os x disc have everything that I need to wipe the hard drive clean and install panther. I do have an external hard drive.

    Hello again,
    Some of those applications you mention will not be on the recently purchased OS 10.3 Panther disk so you'll need to make a copy of them so you can restore them later.
    Copy to your external drive;
    iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes* and you may also have World Book 2003 depending what bonus software was installed when new. There may be other Non Apple applications you want to keep also.
    *You could probably still get a download of iTunes but because it is such an old version, to save searching for it, make a copy of it while it is in front of you.
    Everything else will be the 10.3 Panther disk including Safari.
    Ideally with original disks, the process would be:
    Insert your Install disk 1 into the drive and then Restart, and hold down the C key to take you to the installation windows.
    Select your language, the start up Disk and choose Erase and Install.
    At the point your registration process starts, abandon the registration, quit and eject the disk and switch of the computer.
    This will allow the new user a freshly installed system, whereby they can complete the registration process themselves.
    However...
    But as you want to add back iPhoto and iMovie etc, you'll proceed to create an Admin account, in order to add back those applications, by copying them from the external drive back to the Applications folder. After doing that you are finished.
    Instruct the new user can create their own Admin account, (more than one can exist) and thereafter deleting the first one you created.
    This would achieve a fresh setup akin to the original.
