Iphoto does not import movies from my samsung nv24

...please help me, otherwise i have to buy a new camera....

This issue has been reported before and arises because of some anomaly between Samsung's non-standard way of using Time Code and Apple's over stringent adherence to standards.
Probably don't have to buy a new camera though. Just use something else to organise the movies.

Iphoto would not import movies from Iphone 4 - ANYBODY ELSE HAS ISSUES?

Hello,
Yes Iphone 4 is so sexy.
I have reception issues too unfortunatly , only where reception is weak anyway, but yes it happens...
also iphoto would not import most of the times
the iphone 4 videos?
any suggestions why and how to fix it ?
Many thx
Anteros

I was encountering this on the developers' beta of iTunes 9.2 on a gigabyte-sized iPhone 4 movie. (I am in Developer Program.)
I just reinstalled with the standard iTunes download and was able to do a successful import directly from the phone.
Perhaps an iTunes reinstall can fix it for you as it did for me.

IPhoto does not import video from iPhone 4

We've been battling this problem for a while now. We have two iPhone 4's and any time we import photos to iPhoto, we have to select photos individually, making sure to NOT select any videos taken with the iPhone 4, in order to get them to import to iPhoto. If there is a video in the set, all photos after that are reported as unrecognized format and won't import. We can then select those photos that didn't import and reimport them and it works. Importing videos, either single videos or groups, or when mixed in with photos just doesn't work. Every time it fails with the unrecognized format error. We are able to import directly from a flip video camera, or if we first transfer the videos from the iphone to the hard drive using a different utility, but when we then import those files into iPhoto, they come in, but without the usual thumbnail image (they show up in the library as black).
This problem has been going on since iPhoto 09. We bought the 11 upgrade hoping it would fix this problem. It made it a little better (we used to not be able to import anything from the phones), but it still doesn't work for video. If it were just one of the phones I'd say it was the phone, but both phones have the problem. We've been seeing this problem for many months now.

Believe me, we've tried it all. Resetting, restarting, reinstalling, clearing preferences, caches, resetting databases, removing all photos off the iPhone and starting from zero. I've read probably 15 different threads on the subject and tried at least as many solutions. In a few instances the problem got better...for 1 sync. Then it cropped up again. I tried syncing to a fresh iPhoto database, and the problem came back for that one as well. I'm really hoping that Apple is working on a solution for this. We've put a lot of effort into our iPhoto archives and the main reason we bought the iPhone's was for the camera (even suffering through AT&T's questionable coverage for it). It doesn't seem like we are the only ones having this trouble.

IPhoto does not play movies from digital camera

When transfering photos and movies to iPhoto, the movies are not playing in iPhoto.
Error message:
THE MOVIE CAN'T BE OPEN. YOU MAY NEED TO INSTALL ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE TO PLAY THIS KIND OF FILE
I am using iPhoto '09 v8.1.2 and QuickTime Player 10.0 on Snow Leopard 10.6.3
I deleted QuickTime 7 Pro after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
My digital camera is a Pentax Optio S6 that creates movies in the MPEG-4 format. The ending of the movie file after transfer to the Mac is .avi
What Codec do I need? Or should I reinstall QuickTime 7 Pro?

Try install Perian

Iphoto does not import all items from camera

I have been importing photos into Iphoto from my canon SD300. I have noticed that on occaissions it has skipped a few files while importing. In particular it has skipped movie clips. When the camera is connected Iphoto says it is ready to import and tells you the number of images and movie clips, and it recognizes all of them. However, once the import function is over on the last occaision I noticed that two clips and one image was not imported. I manage to get the missed image/clips by inserting the memeroy card in a card reader and dragging the missed image/movie clips into Iphoto.
I would appreciate if any one knows why Iphoto does not import all the items from the camera even though it recognizes that they exist and how I should fix this problem.
Thanks.

Hi imac2,
I don't know why iPhoto skips some of your files. I can tell you that I use Image Capture to download my images and video clips. My video clips from my Canon can get quite large (over 1010 mg). iPhoto can import smaller clips that digital camera made, but now a lot of the newer camera can create very large video clips and I don't think iPhoto can handle importing them.
Once I download my images and video clips I put them in dated folders. This makes it much easier to back up the video clips and images. I then import the folders of images into iPhoto. I like having more control.

IPhoto does NOT import " .pictClipping " files ?

Hi,
I copied pictures of artists from Amazon on the Web and put them together with the songs in iTunes Artwork. So far so good.
I wanted to import these pics in iPhoto. I dragged them on the desktop en tried to import them via iPhoto 'Add to library'.
Didn't work. iPhoto does NOT import " .pictClipping " files.
What did I do wrong ? What can I do ?
How can I get these pics in iPhoto ?
Thanks for some light in my darkness...

Hi JOhn,
Dragging the album cover out of iTunes either by the album art window or by the "get info" window will just give you a clipping file that cannot be opened by a graphic program. It is just a clipping that Finder will open.
Did you download the images from Amazon and save them to your hard drive, or did you copy/paste them from Amazon to iTunes song "get info" window?
If you just did a copy.paste, then I suggest you go back to Amazon and download the images to your hard drive. then import into iPhoto. There might be some third party programs that will download the art while your songs are playing on iTunes to make it easier for you. they usually put them on a folder on your hard drive somewhere.
there's even an Applescript program to export your artwork from iTunes and copy it to an image file at a specified location.

There are all kinds of ways of doing this so search around Version Tracker for "itunes album art" for other programs to make it easier for you.

IPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera.

iPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera. What's the easiest way to get the video imported. Also, didn't prior versions of iPhoto accept this format?

As you don't mention the version of iPhoto, I can only guess that you've been caught in the gap between Apple and Samsung. Somethign changed with iPhoto 11 and it's quite rigid about how timecode is handled in video and there's something not quite standard in the Samsung timecode. Google around a bit for more.
And, as Larry say, try iMovie

Mat****a UJ841S CD/DVD drive does not read movies from blockbuster

My dvd mat****a drive UJ841S will read /write everything ok.
BUT it does not recognize Movies from Blockbuster. I cannot play a movie.
Can anyone help?
David

Hi
Seems this certain kind of DVD is not fully compatible with this CD/DVD drive
Sorry but such issues are not uncommon you will always meet some disks which are not fully compatible and that the drives laser lens cannot handle such disk
But just one question; are these movies created for the European region?
I mean there are different DVD regions
As far as I know the movies for European needs region 2
The United States need region 1 settings and South & Middle America need region 4
So if you would like to watch DVD designed for USA then you will have to change the region settings to 1.
But note; you can change the region settings only 4 times then this settings would be locked and it would be not possible to change it again

Prevent iPhoto 11 to import movies from NAS

Hi,
after a small update erlier this week (in Denmark), my iPhoto 11 suddenly import my movies from iTunes library, and other movies saved on my NAS, automatically and put them in "events".
It´s not the small homevideos/iPhone-movies from Photo Stream, but movies I bought from iTunes store and DVD-rip. iPhoto shows them in a very bad quality, and I really don´t need movies to "fill up" my iPhoto-library.
I also have my iPhoto library on my NAS.
Somebody knows how I can prevent this?
Best Regards

For starters yoou need to get the iPhoto library off of the NAS - you will continue to have strange problems until you do - the iPhoto library must be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (Journaled) - it is possible to put a properly formatted disk image on the NAS and use the iPhoto library from it but it is a bit of a pain - a local properly formatted drive is better
As to the errant import - not sure - I've not seen that reported and iPhoto does not automatically import anything - at best it opens when it sees a camera and you choose to import or not and can select what to import - my best guess is user error but no way to be sure without more information
I do not think that having the library on the wrong format drive would do that - but maybe - it does cause strange problems

Aperture 3 does not import video from iPhone

Aperture 3 does not want to import my videos from iPhone anymore. This used to work perfectly fine before, now Aperture hangs as soon as I try to upload any video.
Is this a known bug??

I'm experiencing the similar but Aperture not importing photos from iPhone. When I go to iPhoto and import then it works. My software is all latest.

Iphoto does not import pictures or detect them.

Hi, we have a tutoring program where I work and we wanted to use apple's "fixup" pictures in the class. To make the experience more realistic for the users, we plan on putting the pictures onto memory card readers (with memory cards already in them). We would like to recreate putting the memory card readers into the computers and importing from iphoto. The memory card readers are: Multi Flash Media Reader.
We first tried to make a folder called DCIM for iphoto to recognize when we open up iphoto. When we had this initially setup iphoto would recognize if you put ONE photo into the folder at a time (From the computer to removable disk). However when we put in multiple pictures (say all of the pictures from the "Cayman Trip") iphoto came up with an error stating that basically that it could not recognize the photo type. When we looked at the name of the file paths however, it was not the file path that we had set up. Unfortunately I can't recreate the error right now because we have reformatted the photo disk in hopes that that would resolve the issue.
Now that we have reformatted we have recreated the DCIM Folder, and now Iphoto will not detect the photos in the folder at all.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a camera that you could use to reformat the card, take a few shots and then replace those files with your jpgs? See if that would clean up the path and recognition.
However, you might want to teach the students to import the photos manually into iPhoto as that's a safer way of doing it, particularly if you're coming direct from a camera. That saves wear and tear on the camera and battery and avoids possible shutdown of the camera due to low battery in the middle of an import. That can damage a library. Also never have iPhoto erase the memory card after import as there have been too many reports of incomplete or no import and complete erasures.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto does not import from iPhone

I can not import my iPhone pics anymore. Even when the phone is not attached to the iMAC iPhoto shows "Arthur's iPhone" on the left of the screen. On the right side I see 213 empty pictures although I have deleted everything from my iPhone. With empty I mean thesquare of the picture is there but no image in it.
On my wife's powerbook no problems with the same iPhone.
Can i reset iPhoto or re-install it ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
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.

IMOVIE08 MPEG PROBLEMS, Not Importing movies from ilife

Hi
A friend shoots a movie for me We agree on an MPEG file. MPEG file loaded, IMOVIE08 started. Dragging media does not work. Also Importing movie via menu does not work. (MPEG file greyed in file dialog) But, Quicktime loads and shows it. With Quicktime I could maybe onvert it. IMOVIE07 loads it and shows it and you can work with it in IMOVIE07! So why not in IMOVIE08 which I bought for hard cash!
Using IPHOTO08 I made a movie out of still pictures with some music. Standard functionality in IPHOTO08 Wanted to edit the Audio. Cannot load the movie generated by IPHOTO08 into IMOVIE08. Hmmm.
However an movie generated from a KEYNOTE08 presentation does import into IMOVIE08.
Why is there no compatibility even between parts of the same package on this ?
Why with IMOVIE07 I could import almost anything and then IMOVIE08 is very sensitive to imports and imports almost nothing??
I find this really a serious flaw in IMOVIE08. And when I cannot use my old material what good is it?
Joost (mail me at joostb AT notthefly.com)

Welcome to the Discussion Forum
im6 would only edit limited formats but would import and convert various types of format to the type it could edit in.
By contrast im08 can edit more formats but no longer imports the formats that it can't edit, leaving you to convert the files to an appropriate format yourself before importing.
You can use many 3rd party applications to convert mpeg1/2 files, myself I use mpeg streamclip.

Link posted on Facebook does not import Photo from the site

When I paste a link to a status line on Facebook, it imports the title and annotation of the page correctly. However, the Facebook does not show any photo from the page (as it does with other websites).
Is there a way to force Facebook to show a photo alongside the title etc?
I am trying to post for instance this: http://www.cykasy.cz/Atlas/Cycas_xipholepis.html
and would like to show some of the pictures on Facebook too.

It seems that the only solution is to write a piece of code into the header of the page and that will tell facebook where to pull the title, description and the photo from. The code that needs to be inserted is below.
THE PROBLEM - this solution doesn't work if you have built your site using iweb. Everyone that has iweb has responded to the solution (everywhere this is written about) has said this.
Does anyone know another work around?
The solution for anyone without iweb:
<meta name="title" content="INSERT CONTENT HERE" />
<meta name="description" content="INSERT CONTENT HERE" />
<link rel="image_src" href="INSERT LOCATION OF PHOTO WEB ADDRESS HERE" />
