Incorrect dates on iPhoto video when accessed by iMovie '09??

Hi,
I have a few videos in iPhoto. All have the correct time and date.
iMovie '09 has access to these, but is showing the incorrect date on some of them (even though iPhoto is showing the correct date). The date is the same - 31 December 1903.
It has been like this since I first used iMovie '09.
Can anybody help?
Cheers.
BTW, how do I contact Apple support about something like this? I can't find any e-mail support.

NeddySeagoon - wondering if you found the answer to this?
I too have iPhoto videos showing up in iMovie fine, but the dates are wrong in iMovie (correct in iPhoto).
Also, I have updated video titles in iPhoto, but those titles are not showing up consistently in iMovie. Perhaps related issue, I'm not sure.
Any idea if this could be a permissions issue? (Video is stored on an external drive). Or something else?
Thanks!

IMovie 09 with incorrect dates from iPhoto video clips ?

Hello. I just noticed that the majority of dates in my iMovie 09 for my iPhoto video clips all show the date for 1903. I need to go back and change the date in too many video clips to count. Is there an easier way to go back to the orginal dates? Thank you.

I took video using my Iphone 4S and uploaded it into my Macbookpro iphoto. When I open imovie it does not recognize the video when I import it manually it is distorted.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I just experienced the distortion when I imported a video from my iPhone 4 to iPhoto.

Can i move iPhoto videos to events in iMovie ?

Is it ok to create a new event in iMovie and drag iphoto videos into it from the iphoto videos list in the imovie event browser, and then delete the videos in iphoto via the Trash) ?
Thanks in advance

No. That would cause you to lose the videos.
When you use videos in iMovie from the iPhoto section of the Event browser, it is referencing the copy in iPhoto.

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

Why can I not adjust the volume on a video when accessed from the lock screen

Why can I not adjust the volume of a video in my pictures folder, when accessed from the new lock screen option?

There is no way to access videos directly from the lock screen.
What exactly is being attempted here?

IPhoto crashes when accessing Preferences

I am running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 (378) on a MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.4.
I want to change some settings in Preferences. Every time I try to open Preferences the application crashes (hangs). All I see is the spinning beach ball that never stops spinning and never goes away. The only way to get out of this is to Force Quit iPhoto. When I open Force Quit is see iPhoto (not responding)
I have quit all running programs, and I have restarted the computer. I have plenty of RAM.
How can I fix this?
If I can't fix this, how do I remove and reinstall iPhoto?

I had the same problem. I read numerous discussions on this issue today and someone mentioned MobileMe (which has been discontinued). This is what what I did and it worked like a charm.
Go to System Preferences>Internet & Wireless>MobileMe. Once there, sign off from MobileMe. That's it! Go back and start iPhoto and go crazy clicking on Preferences.
Don't ask me what one thing has to do with the other as I have absolutely no idea. Hope this works for you!

IPhoto videos seem to hang iMovie for 10-15 minutes

When I first launch iMovie and click into the iPhoto Videos in the Events Library the app hangs for around ten minutes. After that it seems to work normally. Non-iPhoto videos do not cause this problem. Any ideas?

New iPhoto Videos stopped appearing in iMovie (and media Browser too)

I only recently discovered the usefulness of viewing iPhoto videos in iMovie, simplifying the process to editing my videos.
However recently my videos have stopped appearing. I am using Leopard 10.5.6 and the videos are captured using a Powershot SD750 camera into an AVI format. up until the 12/12 the videos appeared fine, and I am sure that I haven't changed anything. The iPhoto library is stored on a NAS drive. Which does seem to lose connection on a regular basis, causing me to need to choose the library in iPhoto again.
When I launch iMovie it used to ask about loading the Iphoto videos though I have not seen this dialogue recently.
I also notive that in the media browser iDVD or web upload these particular videos are not shown.
I would be grateful for any help...
Thanks,
Richard

Suddenly today, this is working fine, not sure why, as I had rebooted the machine several times to try and resolve...
If anyine has any ideas as to why, I would appreciate it. When I opened iMovie today I saw the dialogue that had been missing:

And when it was complete the missing videos were shown.

How to remove the iPhoto video clips from the iMovie Event Library

Hi,
The new iMovie took a couple of hours to index my iPhoto video clips. That didn't bother me so much as I have 2564 video clips in my iPhoto library.
However, when I launch iMovie, it now takes approximately 30 minutes to be ready for use.
Is there anyway to de-register the iPhoto video clips in iMovie?
I'll switch to only importing the clips I want to work with as iMovie does not appear to be written to handle a large quantity of video clips efficiently (for the G5 cpu anyway).
Perhaps if when selecting "iPhoto Videos" in the Event Library, it would first show the video clips divided into Events as with the new iPhoto approach. Would surely be quicker to scroll through. Scrolling through the video clips is far to slow.
iMovie won't even playback the video clips without pausing every couple of seconds. My iPhoto library lives on my internal drive.
Regards, Tony.

How to make iPhoto video clips appear in iMovie 11 under "iPhoto Videos"

I use photo camera to shoot both stills and videos these days. I would like to just see all my clips in iMovie.
I tried to use Import but it is very painful to use as iMovie PRETENDS it knows nothing about iPhoto photo library. So monkying around and drugging clips out of iPhoto "bundle" is huge hustle.
Is there is a streamline way?
Apple historically make hard to do, I even had to use iMovie HD and Handbreak to to all these conversion, but I just want things to work: I want to make a cool clip to share from my iPhoto library clips.
Is there is a easy way to do it?

Normally, any compatible clips in iPhoto show up in iMovie in the Events Library under the category "iPhoto Videos". You will see this item at the top of the list in the Events Library. Clicking on it will reveal thumbnails for each clip in the Events Browser (to the right of the listing). Are you not seeing this?
If this is not the issue, you could try converting the iPhoto clips by using a program such as MPEG Streamclip. If recognised by Streamclip, convert the clips to either H.264 or AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) and import the converted file into iMovie. Both these formats work well with iMovie - AIC is in fact the codec that iMovie converts AVCHD clips to in order to edit efficiently at the individual frame level.
MPEG Streamclip is a free program downloadable here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
John
PS. Regarding the conversion, I notice that you've already tried iMovie HD and Handbrake - sorry! Perhaps MPEG Streamclip will do this more efficiently.

I also tried iPhoto on another computer (which has the same photos on it) with the same error.
This could be a problem with these particular files then.
Try
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Incorrect dates on iPhoto '09 photos

After upgrading to Mac OS X (10.6) the date that is shown in the photo info window, together with the location and description, is wrong, but the dates shown in the extended photo info are all correct and the Event dates are all correct as well.
In the wrong dates only the month is wrong and is always January. The day and year are correct, but all my photos in iPhoto are from 2009.
I have rebuild my library using iPhoto Library Manager but the problem remains.
Any ideas?
Thanks
FA

Hello there,
I am also the same problem with my iPhoto. I have just upgraded from a G3 iBook to my recent MacBook and have realised that it IS different. My problem is the same as the problem above, but instead of only having the same month appear, the dates that appear for each event album is stuck at January 5, 2009 regardless of when I upload the photos and when they were taken. However, the dates in the extended information are all correct.
I have tried changing the dates in International but to no effect. I have also tried changing the dates by changing them under the Photos tab in iPhoto.
Is there anything else I could do to rectify the problem?

Photos uploaded to facebook have incorrect date in iPHOTO

I found about 30 events in iPHOTO with a single photo in them.
I panicked - thinking all the remaining photos from each event were missing.
Then I noticed every single event had the same date - Jan 1, 2013 - even though all of the photos were from earlier dates.
Finally I noticed that these seem to be photos that were originally in iPHOTO and had been uploaded to Facebook from iPHOTO (again- these photos were all uploaded BEFORE Jan 1, 2013) .
Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhoto Videos (iPhone backup) in iMovie 09

They display as clips in the bottom right hand window but do not behave like normal event clips. i.e. Split event before selected clip is greyed out. Help!

I have been struggling with the same issue (I have iLife 09 + 10.6.1). I spent a few hours with the Apple support to figure out the issue. Here is the cause of this problem, in my case:
In iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced, Importing: the default is to "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". I have unchecked this option, which means I don't want to copy my files into iphoto library. After upgrade to Snow Leopard, any videos imported into iphoto without copying don't get listed in iMovie.
Apple support now has accepted the bug (they reproduced it on their own machines). Of course, I don't know what that means. We may see a bug fix in the future.
