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.

    How can I import video from iTunes to iMovie?

    What if it is home video that was imported into iTunes (the only way I could figure out how to get it on to my Mac)?

  • No picture or sound on downloaded video from iTunes

    I recently purchased a video from the iTunes store and I searched the forums for nearly an hour and couldn't find anything that helped. The file was rather large (2.18 GB). When it had "finished" it had an error mesage next to it "Network Connection Refused" or something along those lines. After that, it did not automatically load the videos into my "purchased" playlist. I had to manually track down the finished downloaded file on my hard drive. I added the file to my library in iTunes just fine, but if I try to play the video from iTunes (or after I loaded it onto my iPod for that matter)I just get a gray picture and no sound, yet the movie slider is showing the 3:07:55 and is moving as if a movie is playing. I haven't had any trouble with this in the past with music videos or podcasts or anything like that and I have sufficient space on my hard disk. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    I have all the drivers updated for Vista Business (I have switched from XP Pro to Vista Business since I posted). When I had XP Pro all my drivers were up to date as well. I have had several videos work from before. What was interesting though was that because the file was so large (2.17 GB) I had to let the computer sit overnight. When it finished though, there was a network error of some sorts, though it showed that the download had completed. I said "OK" and thought that it would put it into my purchases playlist, but it did not. I had to track down the file manually and imported myself, but what I get is a gray screen when trying to play in iTunes 7 and a black screen when on the iPod. The interesting thing though is that the slidebar for the time is moving with no picture or sound. I think there may be something I need to do to the file, but not quite sure. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • No audio when importing mpeg4 song from itunes

    I have tried to import a song from itunes which turned out to be mpeg4 and not aiff. As a result the audio is not playing in FCP.
    Is there anything I can do?

    You may want to actually read the agreement you make with Apple and the iTunes store regarding the use of material acquired there. A song purchased from the iTunes store gives you the right to listen to it on up to 5 devices. It does not give you the right to utilize it in any syncronized video or other public display - whether or not money changes hands.
    Have you negotiated the use rights with the artist already?
    What VJK tells is technically correct it is also an illegal act. Let's put it this way - would it be OK for someone to take your work, use it for their purposes and maybe they credit or pay you later?

  • Cannot sync videos from iTunes to iPhone 5S

    I recently got an iPhone 5S 32 GB.  I restored it through iTunes from a backup of my old iPhone 4S 16 GB.  Since the restore, & after an upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, I can no longer sync videos from iTunes 11.4.0.18 to the iPhone.  Previously I had been syncing a number of these videos to the 4S for years.
    Here's what I've always done:  I simply connect the iPhone to my PC via a lightning cable.  Next I click on the "Movies" button at the top of the window.  Then I check the box to sync the movies that I wish to transfer.  Finally I hit "Apply."  The sync starts, but the movies never make it to the phone for some reason.
    When I click on "Movies" under the iPhone on the left side of the screen, I see a listing of the movies that should have synced.  They are listed there, but they are kind of greyed out, & they have a dotted circle beside them.  This is very puzzling because I have over 17 GB of free space on the phone.  I can also confirm that the files are on my hard drive in the location shown when I right-click & hit "Get Info."  I can also successfully sync the very same videos with my iPad mini.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    UPDATE:  I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes.  For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem.  Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
    That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

    Hi
    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

  • Quicktime 7 not playing videos from Itunes...

    So recently I noticed my Quicktime 7 has been acting strange. It used to play all my videos flawlessly... it still does, although i've noticed movies bought from the itunes store wont play anymore. When I try to open the file on QT 7 I get the black screen but then It exits out and I get the "Quicktime 7 Has Quit Unexpectedly" and I get the Kern_Protection_Failure log ( whatever that is) It's weird, before every file i tried worked perfectly, but now I cant get them to play.... Is There any fix to this or has Quicktime 7 completely stopped supporting movies/videos from Itunes? ******Oh, by the way They DO however play in Quicktime X****** I''m running 2009 macbook pro 13-inch OSX 10.6.8 and All software is up to date. It's getting frustrating. I've looked all over but no luck. Any Help Would be appreciated. Thanks

  • I can not import to iPad from iTunes some of my presentations.

    I cannot import to iPad from iTunes some of my presentations. I get this message:"Presentation couldn’t be imported. An error occurred." That's it? I am blank off at Steve. Why cannot I simply drag and drop like any other decent software can from my saved presentations on my HD to appropriate directory in iPad? I have spent countless hours preparing those presentations. OK, let me think. I am going to do them over, spent so more countless hours just to find out that I cannot import them. Funny thing is that I never seen error doing something useless like playing game. Iam steaming.
    I am looking in to Samsung products; maybe this error will help me to make the right decision. They are using open source Android, nothing like this secretive bull, oh my Got someone will try to steal my billions.

    Wow, because you have created presentations that obviously have an error in them and so they cannot be used by the iPad, it is Steve's fault.
    Sell your iPad to someone more deserving of its magic and get a Samsung imitation. That is if you can still find one to buy. If you had jumped the HP tablets were marked down just before HP threw in the towel on them.
    But if instead of being a pendejo, you want some actual help, try the Keynote forum, perhaps they can help you discover your mistakes;

  • Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

    I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.

    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

  • Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

    I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
    I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
    I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!
