Importing videos to Itunes (can't see "Video" on Itunes sidebar)

Guess that's a basic question: When I drag a video file to Itunes, it doesn't get added to my library...could that be related to the fact that there isn't a " Video" topic under " Library"? How can I fix this?

tt2,
thanks a lot. however, i already have "Movies" under "Library". Still, for some reason i can't drag videos from my computer to Itunes...(I drag the video from a personal folder to Itunes, but the video doesn't show up on Library...

  • Importing raw + jpg, how can I see both?

    when my camera is set to Raw + Jpg and i import into LR, the thumbnail I see says it is the raw , how can I see the jpg? Both Raw and jpg images are listed in Finder. thank you

    You need to configure the Import preferences so that JPEGs are treated as separate files. See attachment.

  • Import problem. LR4 Can't see folders on my external hard drive.

    When I go to import to select the device from which to import in, it doesn't show me the folders in that device. So I click show subfolders and then it shows me my thousands of photos
    I want to be able to select the folders to look at from my External Hard drive but there is no drop down menu.
    I know it's there because I've used it before.
    I'm not sure if I've posted my screen shot or not.
    I've fixed the problem but I don't know why it keeps happening so I want to find out what I'm doing.
    file://localhost/Users/granttara/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202013-01-19%20at%2012.29.10%20PM.p ng
    In the screen shot you can see that my External Hard IS showing the folders it contains but I have no idea how I got that function back when it goes.
    I've clicked on arrows and right clicked on things and then 'boom' it's working again.
    Any help so I know what to do in the future would be great.
    Thanks.

    Now that I see the screenshot I understand what you mean:  The NO NAME is being interpreted as a camera memory card (a device) rather than a removable hard-drive, so when you import images from a CF card it doesn’t show all the subfolders, it just shows the pictures, and won’t let you do an Add or Movie import, just the two Copy variations.
    Try this:
    1)   Click on the up-down arrow to the right of NONAME
    2)   Select Other Source…
    3)   Navigate to a subfolder on NO NAME and click Select or Ok or whatever it says and it’ll list that subfolder.  The icon at the top left should change from a straight-on black device icon to a rotated, lighter removable drive icon.
    4)   Press F5 to refresh the Files icons and your NO NAME device should show up as a drive-letter or removable drive down in the lower area, in addition to being a Device above.   Once it is in the lower Files area you should have the clickable arrows to go into subfolders.

  • Import Clip to motion, can not see image

    I am using motion 4 the first time.
    Tried from FCP <sent to Motion, and also open Motion and use import command.
    All I can see in the canvas is a black screen with a few colored lines.
    Tried several view options.... all the same.
    Can not find the way to change my view.

    I did some searching and found a post, which suggests to remove the com.apple.motion.plist. Strange thing: I can not find it, even using spotlight, does not show that file (suppose to sit in Library>Preference folder.)
    An other post suggested to remove Motion and reinstall it.
    I had to do it twice because the first time it kept on crashing. Then I realized, I need to upgrade running as well.
    When I open Motion now and import a movie clip, I can see an image, but it looks like the shadow slider is pushed far to the end (images are high contrast-black with some funky colors.)

  • Can't import videos to iTunes!??

    I've been trying to import videos to itunes and for some reason they just won't go in! I have tried dvdrips and already converted to mp4 files on my harddrive, i've even downloaded the sample movie from the apple website to try and import that.
    When i go to import in the fille menu, find the file and click choose absolutely nothing happens. the finder window closes and thats it. the same happens for add to library function. i have the most up to date version of itunes and my brother has the same mac ipod and itunes version and can do it just fine exactly the same way as i am trying. pretty frustrating can anyone help?? pleases?

    Have you tried using the Finder? Just drag the video files onto Library in the sidebar. iTunes can be unresponsive - don't drop the files until Library (or Movies) turns blue and you see a green dot with a plus sign on your cursor.
    Once your movies are in iTunes, you can convert them to iPod format. Select the movie under Movies, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to iPod.

  • Can't import video (.mp4) to itunes 10.5, pls help

    I can't import video (.mp4 & .mov) to itunes 10.5.2.11 (can't both drag & down and add file to library).
    I searched many ways to solve in google with myself , but still not work
    Pls help -.-"

    MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
    Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
    In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • Downloaded bey new videos on pc. try playing them back itune keep say error  can't see video through itune

    can't see my video  of beyonce  the new one throught itunes keep saying error

    Too be honest, my Mac mini is flawless, as has been my experience with every other Apple product I have bought over the years. In 26+ years of using Apple, 98% of issues is user or ISP caused.
    I can see the videos fine. I hate social sites, so I cannot test the FaceBook issue. I have heard that if a FB page has a lot of Flash it can wreck havoc on the Mac because Adobe has crappy Flash for the Mac and nothing for iOS devices. If the issue is Flash, a 3rd party app, that would be Adobe's issue, Apple does not make Flash.
    One thing that may resolve some connection issues is the DNS service you are using. Try OpenDNS or Google Public DNS. It is best to configure your modem/router for the DNS service, but oft times a Mac can override the preset service in the modem/router in the Sys Prefs/Network settings.
    OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Google Public DNS

    BTW, to have your Safari window fill the screen, grab the title bar of the window and drag it to a top left corner of your display. Then go to the bottom right corner and grab and drag it to the bottom display corner. Look for this part of the bottom right corner to grab;

  • Can import videos to itunes but have no sound when on ipod

    I have been at my wit's end trying to get my new ipod to work. I have some videos I have been trying to put on my ipod. I can import them into itunes fine, they play perfectly, but then when I convert them to ipod format, using itunes, they come out without any sound. It is saving them as .m4v, i have tried playing them in itunes and quicktime but neither of them play the sound.

    Dont worry, I found a handy little tool that I think anyone who has any problems with ipod video should try. Its in Japanese, but just set the language to english, its pretty obvious. http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=3GP_Converter

  • How can i get final cut see my camera to import video?

    my final cut is not seeing my camera to import video? help me?

    First, with the camera connected via firewire to your mac, go to applications:  utilities:  system profiler and make sure the firewire is showing the camera.   If not, it's possible the firewire port is burned out on the camera or on the computer.  You can also try swatting out  the firewire cable. 
    HDV is always a little tricky.  Make sure your easy setup matches your shooting format.  If I remember correctly, the camera may shoot some formats that are not compatible with capturing in fcp.  You can usually display the shooting format in the cameras lcd format.  Let us know what it is.
    When you've matched the fcp easy setup to the format you've shot,  quit final cut, start the camera playing with a video signal, and then launch fcp and start log and capture and see if the camera is recognized and if there's video in the log and capture  window.

  • HT4095 I can't see movies on my ipad under videos but on itunes it shows it is on my ipad

    I can't load movies from itunes onto ipad 2.  Under the ipad tab on itunes it says they are on the ipad, but when I go under videos on the ipad it only shows 3 movies and in itunes I have 6 movies.

    No.  Photo stream only streams photos, not videos.  To transfer videos between your devices you can either import them to iTunes and sync them, or (more conveniently) use an app like PhotoSync or Bump.

  • Imported Video Now Missing! I can see it in finder...

    I imported 38 minutes of video last night into one event from miniDV tapes. I shut down the mac... and woke up this morning to discover when I go to that event, now there are only 13 minutes of last night's imported video showing in the event. I verified that I didnt import some of the clips to OTHER events, so that's not the problem...
    When I look in Finder, there are all my clips!! But again, only SOME of the clips show in the iMovie event, but most do not.
    When I tried to drag one of the missing clips from Finder into the event, I got an error that "The file will not be imported, it is not compatible with iMovie" which is absurd, all the clips are .DV format...
    what is going on!?

    After you import the clips into an Event, iMovie will go through a process called "generating thumbnails" so that you can skim the event and edit it in the viewer. It is possible that you interrupted this process when you shut down your Mac, so there are only thumbnails for the first 13 minutes.
    With iMovie closed...
    I would try going to the named Event Folder in the Finder and delete the Thumbnails Folder and the Cache Folder, leaving only the dv clips that you imported. Then start iMovie and let it re-generate the thumbnails.

  • Canon VixiaHF10- I can see canon folder on USB but can not import video

    I am able to connect my Canon Vixia HF10 to my iMac (using iLife) through USB- Iphoto opens and imports fine but the iMovie is not opening. I can see the folder with Unix files- please advise how to get movie clips into iMovie 7.1.4 Thank-you

    I got the HF10 as well and found out that my HF10 is not supported by iMovie.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
    I learned that the NTSC HF10 is compatible, the PAL version however which I have is not (tag on the bottom of the camera states it's a HF10E).
    What worked for me, at least on iMovie08:
    1 Connect camera and manually start iMovie
    2 Now, open disc utility and select the mounted device carrying your movies
    3 select to make a disc image from this device
    When disc utility finalizes the image and mounts it, iMovie all of a sudden recognizes it as a camera, opens the import window and you can start importing from the disc image.
    Hope this works for you on iMovie07 as well.

  • Can't see video's on my iphone

    I can't see my photo's or videos on itunes when I plug in to itunes

    What photos and videos?
    Photos and videos taken with the iphone have nothing to do with itunes.
    You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would from any digital camera.
