Iphoto wont sync mov files

iOS 6
iPhone 5
Hi everyone, I recently took some videos using my iPhone and then sync them with iPhoto. They show up in the events in iPhoto but wont show up on the iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated.

hi there,
verify if you have a checkmark next to "Include Videos" on the Photos section of the Overview page for your iPhone in iTunes.
regards, Chris

Iphoto wont play movie files and wont double click for zoom or edit

Hi i bought my first ever macbook a week ago,love everything on it,iphoto worked well but today i wanted to show someone a movie file on my camea which i have in my iphoto libray clicked on it and it usually opens,today nothing!!! this file has opened loads before because its a holiday movie, loads of people have seen it but now nothing.
Also my double click to zoom or edit preference seems to do nothing whichever box you check in preffence nothing happens.
Being new to mac i hope i can find some answers!!
Chris

Chris:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First Control+click on the movie's thumbnail and select Show File from the contextual menu. When you get to the original movie file double click on it to see if you can open it in Quicktime. If not then it's more a QT issue. If it opens OK in QT go to the next procedure.
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. If iPhoto is still misbehaving log into another account and try the same operations in iPhoto there. If still not working you may have to reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came one. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. After you get iPhoto reinstalled run the latest update for it, 7.1.3 if needed.
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.

How to sync .MOV file?

I imported a .mov file. Video and Audio are out of sync at different points and in sync at others.
Is it something with my preferences or can I fix in timeline or when I export?
Thanks
Scott

What codec is this MOV file? .MOV is simply a way of saying it is a Quicktime movie. And Quicktime movies are just containers that can hold one of DOZENS of codecs. It is a can...it can have beer, lemonade, coke, sprite...any number of things.
SO...what SPECIFIC codec is this .MOV file? Open it up in Quictime and press CMD-I to get info. That'll tell you what codec it is.
And note...not all Quicktime codecs are editable in FCP. Most need to be converted to an FCP-Friendly codec. And that list can be found in the EASY SETUPs in the Final Cut Pro menu.

My iPhoto cannot import .mov-files

I just bought a Mac mini and want to import all my pictures, stored at an external hard drive. Unfortunately iPhoto can't import the .mov files. At first it looks fine but next time I open iPhoto it says it has discovered pictures in the iPhoto library that has not been imported (sounds like a contradiction to me) and these pictures are .mov-files. I am asked either to import or not import these files but no matter what action I take ioPhoto creates Recovered pictures-files (which mostly seem to be empty). This happens every time I start iPhoto so the number of recovered files grow rapidly. It doesn't matter if I import the files to the compuiter first and then import them to iPhoto.

Yes, Apple probably intended that you alone of all iPhoto users should have to do this with every import.
In the (admittedly unlikely) event that this is not what Apple intended, it might be that you have some local glitch in your set up.
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.

Rebuilding iPhoto library changes .mov files to raw

I rebuilt my iPhoto library and since then any .mov files (specifically MJPEG) were changed to RAW in the info panel. The files haven't been changed, but if you try to view them, they small thumbnails are intact, but expanded are a triangular icon with an exclamation point. If I locate the original file and reimport it, it fixes the problem for that individual problem, but this is a tedious solution. MP4 files and H264 files were not affected. I have not been able to locate any information for a solution. Is there a way to force iphoto to change the file format so that it properly recognize that it is a video file, not an image file?
Snow Leopard, iPhoto 9.1.5

Why do you think they've become Raw?
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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. .

IMovie wont accept .mov files. Help please.

I have imported a bunch of movie files from my digital camera. They are now in IPhoto and everything is fine. I would like to import them into IMovie to do some editing but for some reason it will not accept the file. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? All of the files i am trying to move into IMovie are .mov files. Shouldnt they work? Please help.

Not necessarily. MOV is a generic file container -- not a compression format. It can hold any audio and video compression format combination compatible with the QT structure and currently installed QT components. (Even WMV content can be placed in an MOV container.) Unfortunately, iMovie '08 will only import files containing compression formats that it can edit "natively." Kodak digital cameras, for instance, tend to favor MPEG4/µ-Law compression. And, while the MPEG-4 video is compatible with iMovie '08, the µ-Law 2:1 audio compression is not. To import an MOV file, both audio and video compression must be compatible. In the case of the MPEG4/µ-Law file, only the audio format has to be converted to make the file compatible. One way to do this is to use GarageBand to access the "Movie to MPEG-4" export option and "Pass through" the video which converting the audio to AAC -- mono 64 kbps at 44.1 kHz will work here -- and place both in an MP4 container. Another method is to simply convert both audio and video to compatible formats using a converter of your choice.

QuickTime wont play .mov file

Does anyone know why QuickTime wont play a .mov file from an iLearn 08 training DVD. It would not import into iMovie, which is what the file was for, iMovie training. When I try to play it tells me that QuickTime does not have the software to play the clip then directs me to the quick time components page. The file has a 1920X1080 dimension and it has a HDV 1080i60, Integer (Big Endian) codec. I have downloaded various codec packages for quicktime such as flip4mac, perian, etc. Can any one help me out?

Hi,
I actually did contact the publisher and they were very helpful. Here is a copy of the email they sent me. It should solve your problem. Good luck!
Thank you for contacting Peachpit Press. We apologize for the errors with
these files. The QuickTime clips used in chapters 5 and 6 were encoded by
the author using the HDV 1080i60 codec. iMovie 08 only works with the 1080i
codec. At the time this book shipped, iMovie 08 was not available for
testing.

Premiere CS4 wont read .MOV files

Hi there,
Hoping someone could help me with this, Premiere doesn't seem to want to read the .Mov files I need to use in the project. Is there a way I can overcome this directly?
If not, does someone have a converter they could recommend, preferably free, that I could use. I tried FXBear which converted the files but at the expense of a serious degrading in quality.
Thanks,
Aaron

HT4527 iTunes wont sync movies

I Have a hp mini laptop that I have been using for years, I recently reset it now after I re- downloaded iTunes it will not sync movies I purchased from iTunes. Also when I re-synced the movies from iCloud I have to play the movie before the picture of the movie comes up. Someone please help

Hi Bluebullet09,
If you have reset your PC and reinstalled iTunes, you may need to redownload your previous purchases:
Apple Support: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You may also want to look into backing up your iTunes Library, which should include all your purchased iTunes Store content, including movies:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

2/3 Of my 4GB Ipod Nanos (2nd gen), wont sync movies.

So yeah I have three 4GB 2nd gen Ipod nanos, and two of them refuse to sync movies, and have trouble syncing music most of the time as well.
When I try to sync a movie it says syncing Ipod for about 5 seconds then says sync complete, which isnt true...Ive looked through all the support FAQ and whatnot, and find it extremely difficult to find anything helpful.
And now I found these discussions! YAY for hope!
Help?

Check your settings for syncing movies with those iPods and make sure you are allowing already watched movies to by synced.

Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
