IPhoto mov files do not show up in iMovie

Hi there,
I know that there are similar cases discussed in this forum, but mine is slightly different, I think...
Within iPhoto I have imported various mov videos, but they never showed in iMovie while using iLive 09. After the appStore opened up, I upgraded first only iMovie to iMovie '11.
After this update suddenly all my iPhoto '09 videos showed up in iMovie... that was a positive surprise
After a couple of weeks, I had enough courage to upgrade iPhoto as well (which was not as effortlessly as it seemed at first, but not as bad as some did experience)
After this, again none of my still existing mov videos from iPhoto do now show up in iMovie.....
How is that possible?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have a similar problem. I recorded 15 screen captures in MOV format and added them to iPhoto. Only 9 show up in iMovie. I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.

.mov file (video) not showing in published html file

I inserted a .mov file into a digital book. Published it as html. I can see it in the web browser, but my teammate cannot. What could be the problem?

By "in it, " I mean the indd file has a mov file inserted into it. I published the file as a swf and html. She could see the html document, but the video wouldn't appear. She clicked on the poster image and then the slide was blank. If I insert a f4v file into the indd file and publish it as swf/html, she cannot view the html document at all.

Idvd and imovie movie files won't show up in imovie

i imported several movie clips from my nikon coolpix camera.They are in iphoto and play fine in quicktime,but only one shows up in imovie so i can't do anything with them,Also i mad a complete movie with idvd with photos and mov clips.It plays perfecly on my computer but it won't burn to dvd-r disc.It goes through the whole process then shows the error "error during movie encoding"I've tried many times and even tried using only one or two movies.
Help!

This continues to get crazier by the minute! I completely deleted the event mentioned above and started from scratch. Impoerted a few clips into this new event and most played properly...but only for a few minutes! I got a call and afterward when I attempted to play clips in the timeline that had just played a minute ago there is now nothing happening!
Here's what they look like on the screen:
Some of them show an audio waveform but most do not. Does ANYONE have any idea what to do here????
I'm dead in the water!!!!!!!!
Here's my timeline:
Just a minute prior to taking this shot the all played perfectly and then they were gone!

.mov files did not transfer with iphoto pics

I recently used my macbook on a long trip and used it to capture the many pictures and videos I took with my digital camera. Once back, I copied (or so I thought) the contents from the macbook to my imac. However, though all the pictures (jpgs) transferred, the movie files did not. However, the thumbnails do show up on the imac but don't actually contain the movie (shows 00:00 as duration).
I've verified that the movies still exist within the data folder (pictures/iphoto library/data) but unable to move these over back into iphoto on my imac so as to sync back up with the thumbnails. Please help.
thanks,
~Dennis

TD...
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, the only files that show up when I do file export..ORiginal are the existing pics in iPhoto....not the ones I had transferred before. The movie files do not show up....however, they are still somewhere in the computer as I can run spotlight and find them (it points to the Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data area.
Again, when I originally copied over the files from laptop to desktop, the thumbnails can be seen ion the desktop within iphoto however, the actual movie content is not there.

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Imported .mov files not showing up in IMovie

I downloaded 6-7 .mov files yesterday. All fairly short 5-10 second clips. The first 3 imported just fine and showed up in IMovie where I am editing a movie.
Afterwards, when I selected "import" the computer responded the same way, as if it was importing, creating thumbnails, etc and the video shows up in finder in the right place but it does not show up in IMovie and I cannot use it in my movie.
I selected "show all clip" and still they do not show up
I tried importing to iPhoto first and then to iMovie but it still does not show up. It does the same thing - acts like it is importing, creating thumbnails etc.
THe first three that I did are still there, just fine.

Thanks for responding. These videos were shot on a colleague's camera then loaded to an FTP server for me to download. I have them as MP4s (though I've tried to import them after converting to .mov and .avi, still to no avail).
I've loaded them into iPhoto, but still nothing shows up in iMovie when I click the "iPhoto Videos" tab. It's like iMovie can't see them, even though I can see and play them when I go back to iPhoto.
One other point of interest: I tried the same process in my older version of iMovie HD, and there they would load only as audio.
I'm flummoxed.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11. The thumbnail of the movie shows but when selected only a exclamation mark appears. I rebuilt the library, thumbnails, permissions etc. I also found the movie files in the iphoto database intact and working. Please advise.

You're welcome.
Well believe it or not, that's exactly what the exclamation point means. Search the forum. I've been doing this a while.
Next, I have no interest, commercial or otherwise in Library Manager, I have no shares in the company that makes it. I didn't make it. It's not my software. You could give those guys a million dollars and I'll get nothing from it. I and other expereinced users have recommended it thousands of times on this forum for this problem. Amazing how often it works. Of course, a quick search would have told you that already.
Another: Believe it or not you can use the Rebuild Function of Library Manager for free. You don't need to purchase it for that purpose.
Y'all have a nice paranoid day now.

Why do my iPhoto movies not show up on iMovie

I have imported all my videos from my iphone to iphoto. I can not access them through imovie but I can see all the photos. Why is this?

Yes that works - but it's quoite manual, and has a problem -
1. when I do that - iMovie sets the date and time of the movie to the import date ( today) instead of the footage date, so I have to go through each one adjusting the date and time to the footage date.
It would be seemless if the Event Library\ iPhoto Videos simply shows the movies that are in iPhoto!

My movies are not showing up in iMovie application?

Hi,
I just uploaded 5 movies from my camera to my iMac using iPhoto. I can see them all in there. Here is a photo.
When I drag the movies out you can see in this picture above the iPhoto app (top left). If you notice an older one has the Quicktime symbol and the newer ones have the picture of the video. These do not show up in iMovie and I'm not sure why.

There was no option of Movie to TIFF but an Audio to TIFF and other ones. I chose the Movie to Quicktime movie and it didn't work, also tried the audio to TIFF and it didn't work.
TIFF??? Who said anything about TIFF compression? "TIFF" is a graphic image compression format that will be listed in the option window of the "Movie to Picture" Export pop-up. "AIFF," on the other hand, is an audio compression format that is compatible with iMovie '08. In any case, sorry -- I should have said "Sound to AIFF" here.
NOTE: It is not necessary to extract the audio to a new player before performing this audio conversion, but I usually use this work flow in case I should do something idiotic and end or accidentally ruining my source file. In addition, if your original audio is mono, you should probably use a mono setting for the AIFF conversion but either will work here.
After Add to Selection and Scale I assumed I should also go to Edit and click paste which I did.
If you have the "Properties" window open for your original clip, you will see that the "Add to Selection and Scale" Edit option adds a second audio track to the movie (which then allows you to delete the original incompatible audio track). If you then immediately perform an additional "Paste" action, you will note that the "pasted" audio is added to the end of the track which was previously added by the "Add to Selection and Scale" action and you end up with a clip twice as long with audio repeated and no video for the second half.
The second one where I chose sound to AIFF would play all the way through fine and then would repeat the whole movie again with only the sound and no picture showing. It wouldn't show up though either when I tried to open iMovie.
See explanation above for double playback. As to why the AIFF file would not import, did you remember to delete the sound track with the incompatible µ-Law audio? As long as that track is in your clip, it will not import.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

IPhoto Browser option is not showing up in import menu

My iPhoto videos are not showing up in iMovie? I have quit, shut down my Mac and they still are not showing up? What can I do to resolve this?

My iPhoto videos are not showing up in iMovie? I have quit, shut down my Mac and they still are not showing up? What can I do to resolve this?

It is also posible to go back to the imovie you had before, it is still on your computer - you go to Finder and it is in a folder in your programs. Many others have gone back to the old program, and perhaps I am also going to do that too.
In the new imovie it does not come up the question "do you want to download these videos ...."
You shall in imovie open your iphotolibrary in top on the left side,( it is standing under libraries) and you can see all the events you have in iphoto, then you can open the event, you shall use and drag the movies and pictures from the events in iphoto to an events in imovie. If you can,t see your libraries, you can click on a show button on top of the left side.
On the picture you see here iphoto is market on the top of the left side and the pictures to the left is my iphoto-events - and there I can open the one I shall use, and find my movies.

My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV. Can someone please help me with a solution? Thanks.

First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes. I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook.
Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from. But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad). It does not show up on my Apple TV as well. If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me. I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad. I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this? Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Some music files do not show up in google play music app library. I did clear cache/data and restarted phone. The music is stored on the SD card. Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card. I can play the song from file mana

some music files do not show up in google play music app library. I did clear cache/data and restarted phone. The music is stored on the SD card. Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card. I can play the song from file manager, but it still is not in the music library in play music.

Cyndi6858, help is here! We'd be happy to help figure this out. Just to be sure though, the Droid Maxx should not have an SD card. Is this the Droid Razr Maxx? How did you add the music to the device? Are you able to see the files and folders located on the SD card or device when plugged in?
