IPhoto pics are black when I open them in iMovie HD

Hi there,
When we are in iMovie HD, we go to media, iPhoto, and pick a picture. But then, when we insert it into our movie, it turns black. Can anyone help right away. We would like to figure this out right,as we are in the middle of a project.
Thanks,
Kim

Hi momto11 - (I think you are actually using iMovie HD 6, for which there is a different iMovie forum.)
I wonder if you have done some editing of the pics subsequent to the original placing of them? iMovie 6 has a bug which causes this to happen if the iMovie trash has been emptied.
If that is your problem, then you must do one of these:
1. Do not empty the trash.
2. Drag the original version of the pic from the iMovie trash back onto the Clips Pane.
3. Re-import the original from iPhoto or where-ever.
Of course the cause of your particular problem may be quite different - only guessing!
Perhaps you could explain exactly the steps you are making.

TS2621 Have email account on iPad, now email on my computer are blank when I open them. What have I done

Inset up iPad email for my AT&T account. Now when I open email on computer, the emails I open are blank. What have I done? They are all fine on iPad. Also, new emails are only going to iPad. Thank you!

Hi caesarome I have tried to set it up again by choosing Yahoo from the list of providers - but that just took me into a 'set up Yahoo email' page (sign in or create account) . I couldn't use my sky email address or password in doing that. I now have a new yahoo email account [email protected] that I don't want. On the ipad mail it just shows an empty inbox for my Yahoo email (although my sky email address is still there under settings>mail) - no sent, trash, drafts etc. I have also followed other advice that sets up the email again using 'other' provider but changes the host names under incoming and outgoing mail server to apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com and apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com That hasn't worked either. The iphone (with exactly the same settings that I had on the ipad before messing around) works fine!

My video clips are just black when i import them to iMovie! (they are mp4) p.s. i have alot of clips

I keep importing all these video files which are mp4 format and they have thumbnail pics but when i hover over them to preview they turn black and i cant see any thing!?
do i have the wrong format or what? I have worked with imovie alot and this has ever happend...
HELP PLEASE!!

It is possible that the clips are are variant of h.264 that iMovie cannot read.
I would suggest that you get a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from squared 5 dot com.
Drag one of your clips into MPeG Streamclip. The File/Export Using QuickTime. Choose either the Apple Intermediate codec or the h.264 codec. H.264 will give you a smaller file. Apple Intermediate Codec will give you a larger file but smoother editing performance.
In iMovie, use File/Import Movie to import this new clip.
If that works, then MPEG Streamclip has a batch mode where you can do all the clips at once.

HT1338 pdf attachments and excel spreadsheet attachments are opening as winmail.dat and the pages are blank when you open them.

All of a sudden the e-mail attachments I send to my MacBook Pro from my PC Laptop open up as winmail.dat as a blank sheet of paper. This only started happening within the last week. Before that everything was fine. I check my PC and confirmed the attachments are set up to be sent in HTML. Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue.
Luckily I have only migrated my own mailbox to office365.
Tried both true and false TNEFEnabled on both onpremise and office365 via powershell and confirmed that both have been applied.
If I send the email as a plain text then the attachment works ok. If I send it as HTML then I get winmail.dat.
The above KB doesnt really help me, sending plain text emails is like going back to the dark ages!
I am sending from outlook to outlook (I send from my external email address, to my work email address and visa-versa)
If someone with an onpremise mailbox sends me an email, the attachment works ok.
If someone sends me an attachment via hotmail, the attachment works ok.
It seems to only effect emails I send to myself through outlook, i am sending it through a POP3 account to our onpremise exchange 2010 which forwards the email to office365

My firefox tabs are blank when i open them, how do i fix this?

this happend when i updated adobe before i opened it. most o the time when i press the edit button it fixes itself so that i can see the tabs, but it just stays blank. i updated everything i could think of and removed others, but nothings really working. i have already shut down/restarted my comp. but thats not working ether.

See Remove minor corruption by exporting to find the path to the hidden folder in your user profile that has the InDesign SavedData file. In the same folder you will find an InDesign Recovery folder. Empty that and ID should start OK.

I took some videos using my iPhone 5c and uploaded them to my computer. I can play the videos in iPhoto, but when I open them in QuickTime, they are dark and silent. Why can't I see them in QuickTime?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

"Catalog"? Are you referencing Ps Elements perhaps?
Wrong forum. We do not do Elements here.

Why are the movies I took on my iPad long and skinny with black edges when I import them into iMovie

I took several short video clips on my iPad and when I imported them into iMovie they are long and skinny with black on both sides. My other movies from my camcorder fill the frame. How can I convert them to be full frame. They are .mov format from the iPad?

From what you describe, you probably held your iPad vertically rather than horizontaly when you shot your movie.
The picture in iMoive is a rectangle oriented horizontally, so it's showing your vertical movie as large as it can.
If you cropped your vertical picture to fit the horizontal ratio of iMovie you'd have to cut off a lot of the picture.
Soeone even made a mock PSA about this subject.

All my pics turn 90 or 180 degrees when I open them on my computer?? HELP!

I have a few picture problems. First, when I open my pictures on my computer, they are randomly turned 90 or 180 degrees. So have to select and rotate to fix them. It's a pain in the butt!
Also, there are several folders in the DCIM folder. I can't delete them. Then when I open them, there are all of these "local disk" files. that are nothing and cannot be deleted. Anyone with any thoughts????????????

Hi there jjewson! I can certainly understand your concern here. I definitely want
to help you to get your pictures set up the way you want them to be once and
for all. With ios 8 you should have the option to rotate your pictures to the
point you want then once there, you should be able to save them. Do you back
your phone up to the iCloud or Verizon cloud? If the pictures saved in either
of those sources are set to the prior setting, they may be restoring on the
phone to the rotated version. I would log into your iCloud or Verizon Cloud and
check there as well. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

None of my "paid" books will open in iBooks. They show they are there, but when I open them all I get is a blank page. I have checked all the newbie mistakes. Mavericks will not let me uninstall and reinstall iBooks.

All the books I paid money for will not open in iBooks on my MAC. Mavericks will not let me uninstall iBooks, so I cannot uninstall and reinstall it on my Pro. I have deleted and re-loaded the books and they show in my library (as they always did), but when I open them, all I get is a blank page with three dots at the bottom, flashing in sequence. This does not affect the free books from the book store nor does it affect the PDF I have loaded myself. (I had this problem on my iPad when the latest big software came out about a year or two ago, but I was able to re-initalize the complete iPad from my Pro Book.) I have tried just about everything I can think of, but all to no avail. To save time, I have reset my iTunes password and performed all the other "Apple Tips" in the support section, but after 5 hours I am giving up. Surely someone else must be having the same issue??

Yup, same issue since installing Mavericks. iBooks works fine on my wife's Macbook Pro, but on my Mac Pro none of my purchased (protected) books will open - only the free/unprotected ones.
I'm asked for my AppleID password, but nothing happens when I try to open a purchased and downloaded book. I deauthorized, reauthorized, etc ... nothing. Each purchased book that I double-click gives me a dialog asking for my Apple ID password. Nothing else.
I was already buying more books via Kindle than iTunes and this just seals the deal for me. At least I can read my already-purchased iBooks books on my iPad still...

Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when i open them?

Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when I open them?
I used my time machine back up from my old expired power mac and uploaded the contents onto my new iMac.
All of the files uploaded successfully as far as I can see (except the old programs don't work and the consequently all those files are cactus :-( )however when I opened iPhoto only a few photos (500) where in some of the folders.
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon. They down loaded successfully into the correct folders and the thumbprints are visible. When I click on an individual photo the enlarged picture appears for an instant and then an explanation mark in a triangle appears in its place.
The original 500 pics actual worked... now after days of mucking around and with lots of advice I have doubled the number of 'photos' to 50000!!! Ahh,,,, and still the exclamation mark appears
Is there anyway out of this predicament??

This went wrong here:
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
