Is iPhoto changing my .mov format after importing from iPad?

Or is iTunes changing it while importing?
It seems iPhoto is making movies incompatible with iPad.
My iPad sees and plays my .mov videos directly taken by my canon sd 1400 is. They play in the photos app of my ipad after using the camera kit, and it's great for sharing with friends during a vacation.
The bad news is after ipad uploads these videos and photos to my mac's iPhoto, iPhoto is changing the format (I am guessing) so that the videos can not be uploaded back to the ipad in an album. Why? How can I change or fix this?
I am hoping someone points me to a magic setting in iPhoto that says, "Check this box if you don't want your videos broken with iPad"
ipad 32GB, 3G
Apple Camera Kit
Canon SD1400 IS
iPhoto 11
iMac Intel Core Duo
OSX 10.6.5

The iTunes app on your computer is very strict as to importing videos to the iPad.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Even if your video does follow the above specs. Not all h.264 are created equally to the h.264 standards.
The Camera Connection Kit is not as strict.
I can import videos from my Flip Mino HD camera when using the Camera Connection Kit. When trying to import the same video using iTunes I get the message,'file format no supported.'
The previous iOS 3.x did not support importing Flip videos when using the Camera Connection Kit. I was happy to find that the iOS 4.2.1 upgrade did!!! Now I don't have to buy a new video camera!!!
To answer you question... Use the Camera Connection Kit. It's better than nothing...

  • Change in report format after exporting from pdf format to excel format.

    Hi,
    I got a problem while exporting the pdf format of the Report to Excel format "Fully-Foramtted Grids and Texts".
    The format gets automatically changed.
    Is there any solution to this problem.

    Can you give some more details?
    Which version are you using (and which patch level - if any).
    Also what formatting is default on the reports and what is the default format in excel.
    What exactly is different between PDF and excel?
    Another possibility is that font substitution is going on??

  • "Unsupported image format" after import from Canon PoweShot A2000IS

    Every time i import pictures from my Canon PowerShot A2000 IS Aperture presents the message
    "Unsuppported image format" in the viewer window.
    I can preview the images using coverflow or preview.
    Is there a way to handle this?
    Help would be appreciated.

    I don't know what happened, but suddenly it works just fine.
    I reconnected my "old" Powershot A70, imported some Photos, same problem.
    I deleted all importtes photos, restated Aperture, connected old camera, all works fine.
    Connected new camera... all works fine.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • Merge JPEG and RAW after import from iPhoto

    Hi,
    camera is set to shoot JPEG + RAW, iPhoto manages after import from camera as two separate files.
    I want to transition from iPhoto to Aperture.
    After importing from iPhoto into Aperture, is there any chance to merge the files in a way similar to how Aperture merges jpeg + raw when importing directly from camera?
    Thx
    Axel

    When I click on Faces, it's empty, the import from iPhoto forget to import faces?
    Hello Kris,
    How did you imort from iPhoto? If you import using the Aperture Apllication menu
         File -> Import -> iPh.oto Library
    then all your Faces should be transferred from iPhoto.
    Which of the two buttons in Aperture do you use to show your "Faces"? There is the "Faces" button in the Library panel and the "Faces" Button in the Toolbar. Both behave differently. The "Faces" button in the Library panel  will reveal all faces, whereas the "Faces" Button in the Toolbar will only show the faces detected in the in the currently selected item (folder, project). So it may appear that faces are missing, even if they are included in the Aperture Library.

  • I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

    I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
    I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
    if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
    if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
    if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • All clips missing after import from camcorder!

    All clips are missing after import from camcorder - Canon ZR20.  For some tapes all clips are there, for others there are none.  All the files are there in the finder, but I don't know how to have them show up in Final Cut Pro X.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok - this is frustrating.  I have been importing my old miniDV tapes again into FCPX as I wasn't able to transfer all of these projects from iMovie - don't get me started...  After importing about 7 of the tapes the first 3 came in fine, but the last 4 didn't have any clips as I said in my original posting.  Now after restarting FCPX a couple of times all of a sudden the clips are all coming in!  Strange!  Guess I'm OK now.

  • How do I delete the media after import from camera?

    How do I delete the media after import from camera?

    The usual procedure with video is you backup the card contents onto an archive drive. You import from the archive drive making a copy (professionals on set make two copies), and once the backups and import are verified, the card is reformatted in the camera.

  • Aperture Import destination grayed out when importing from iPad

    I'm trying to import a bunch of photos from my iPad. I want to dump them all in one project in Aperture, but after selecting the iPad from the import source list, it grays out the options to select the destination. It also grays out the option to uncheck the Autosplit events. I do not want to do this import and then have to go back and merge 20 projects.  Any ideas?

    It' how Aperture works with the iPad see Aperture 3: Photos are not split into projects by date when importing from iPad as well as other threads here asking similar questions

  • Does iPhoto change a RAW file upon import or export?

    Hi! New Mac user here. Trying to get my workflows and backups going.
    I created an iPhoto library from multiple sources: migration from PC, folders from backup HD, new photos from iPhone and camera memory card.
    So I have one consolidated library that is almost 300Gb but I want to go through and remove and archive many of these, leaving only a much smaller working library with the archive copies of some originals stored somewhere else.  These archive copies will not be referenced files, my plan is to export them from iPhoto, back them up to an external HD, and then delete them from the iPhoto library. If I ever decided to look at them again, I would import them from the archive HD.
    Ideally, I should have imported all the files to my iMac desktop and then imported only what I wanted into iPhoto, but because everything is now consolidated (and the photos from the iPhone and camera memory card are erased), I don't want to wipe out my iPhoto library and start over. So I'm starting with this huge managed library and want to export a good part of it to what I will call "the archive" to cull it down.
    My questions: Upon import, did iPhoto change the RAW master files, or will those be the same when I export them (assuming I made no edits)? Did iPhoto change the JPEGs or will those also be the same when I export them?
    How do I export the files I want to save to the archive before deleting them from the iPhoto library?
    Alternatively, I think I will use Aperture going forward for editing.  Should I use that instead for trying to export these files?
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
    LCA
    iMac 4 GB, 2.7 GHz, Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.7.4
    iPhoto 9.3.1
    Aperture 3.3.1

    File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue set the Kind to Original
    That will export a byte by byte copy of the file you imported, unchanged in any way.
    Can I suggest another way of working. Why not have two Libraries? An archive and a working one?
    The principle advantage is that you won't have to import pics to review them again later, just open the other library.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • Why is my library 200+GB bigger after importing from Iphoto to Aperture

    I recently got a new imac and decided to start using Aperture to manage my huge library. Previously I was using Iphoto 9 in Mountain Lion. My original Iphoto library is 687GB. I exported it to my external drive and works great from there.
    Now I have the new Imac with Mavericks and just got Aperture 3.5.1. I have opened the iphoto library original in this new computer and it upgraded to the new version of Iphoto that I have here (9.5.1). Everything looks good.
    From my understanding this is a managed library since I only exported the library file and everything is there.
    After making sure the iphoto library file was working well I decided to go ahead and import to aperture. I decided to do this since I thought it would be a much better way to go with such a big library. The original iphoto library has around 9,200 photos and videos.
    I created a new aperture library in another big external drive (Drobo) and imported the original to Aperture doing File - Import- Library and choosing the original located in an external drive.
    After 24hrs of working finally I can see the new library appear in Aperture. One problem I have is that it is going extremely slow compared to the same library in Iphoto, but that is another topic.
    In the new aperture library I see the exact same amount of pictures and projects appear however the library appears to be 930GB. According to what I have read in other discussions I have tried to find in Aperture using the keyword search to see how many of these photos/videos have a keyword of iphoto original (vs new masters that could have been created from edited versions of the originals. If I do "iphoto original" in my search nothing appears (although it keeps "processing" the search after a couple of hours (yes, that is how slow it is working now). Is that already something wrong? Is this keyword added automatically when you import from Iphoto?
    I would really like to fix this since I still have two other libraries (37GB) that I would like to merge with this one. Is that crazy? Could I expect such a big library to work well? I am new to Aperture but so far I am not impressed at all.
    The only file I have to work on is the one I have in the external drive since I already got rid of the old computer....
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Would appreaciate any help.
    Thank you!

    Your library is big, but nothing out of the ordinary and well within Apertures capabilities.
    It's hard to say definitively why the library has grown so, but ultimately it won't matter, once you have your library working well and you configure Aperture how you want it to operate, and you tidy up any unwated artefacts from the import, your library size will become exactly the size it needs to be.
    There are a number of possible explanations for why things are going slow.
    First, check how you have formatted your Drobo storage. The file system requirements for Aperture are described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3252
    Next, having chosen to import your iPhoto Library, you have essentially created a new environmet with its own preferences controlling things like previes, faces, places and so on. These could explain both the size and any (temporary) performance issues.
    With Aperture running, press SHIFT+CMD+0 (zero). This will show you the activity window so you can see if Aperture is performing any follow-up tasks relating to the import such as building previews, building thumbnails, detecting faces and son on.
    If so, allow it time to finish. Once it's finished all the post import activity, it will settle down and begin to operate in a more optimised fashion.
    Depending on the history of you old iPhoto library, there could be some clean-up work do in terms of edited copies of originals. Old versions of iTunes used distructive edits, meaning you got an edited copy of your original. Aperture doesn't work this way and you will need to decide if you want to keep those (for example stack them with tier orginals) or if you want to redo any of them using Apertures non-destrutive tools. Later versions of iPhoto used a similar non-destructive approach which will carry over, so it's just any very old edits you may have to make descisions for.

  • IPhoto randomly not recognizing formats during import or transfer

    When importing photos, I've been getting an error message that says "Unreadable Files: XX
    The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format)" and gives their location.
    It will give this error on certain photos of the same format on the same camera, while importing other photos and mp4 movies from the same camera during the same import.
    This is happens on more than one camera.
    This problem also happens when importing photos moved from another iPhoto, (also '08). I would take photos from another iPhoto library, put them in a folder, transfer that folder to a sister machine, (my Macbook Pro to my family iMac), via my home wi-fi network, and drop that folder onto "photos" on the sidebar.
    This problem happens only on one iPhoto of one User on the same machine. I tested this - I switched Users, opened another iPhoto and imported the same photos that could not be imported before with mo problem.
    This problem started suddenly.
    In addition, when I was cleaning up photos and trying to put them into new EVENTS or creating new events from within another event, the photos in the new event would not show up, and I would get a question mark where the thumbnail was supposed to be. And clicking on the thumbnail would not open the photo. Those photos were visible in that iPhoto library until I created an event from the photos I selected.
    I was trying to make a "Master" family library of all our family photos in one location and had worked over the past year scanning photos and adding them to the library. Generally, the cameras would be downloaded into the Master and my work related photos would be transferred to my MBP and deleted. Sometimes, this would happen backwards, transferring to the Master.
    Could it be the size of the library?

    Dan
    you have mixed in a whole bunch of different issues with basically no details on any of them
    When importing photos, I've been getting an error message that says "Unreadable Files: XX
    The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format)" and gives their location.
    It will give this error on certain photos of the same format on the same camera, while importing other photos and mp4 movies from the same camera during the same import.
    This is happens on more than one camera.
    Are theses errors occurring while importing directly from a camera? Have you tried importing using a card reader? have you tried using image capture to move the photos to the desktop and then import them to iPhoto? Have the memory cards been recently formated?
    This problem also happens when importing photos moved from another iPhoto, (also '08). I would take photos from another iPhoto library, put them in a folder, transfer that folder to a sister machine, (my Macbook Pro to my family iMac), via my home wi-fi network, and drop that folder onto "photos" on the sidebar.
    I'm note sure what you are doing here - I am not aware of a "photos" entry except in the open (or upload) dialogue window and you can not import in that window. Try dropping the folder on the iPhoto icon in the Dock to import the photos. And if it not recommended that you go directly into the iPhoto library using the finder - it is very easy to corrupt your iPhoto library (which may be the source of several of your problems) - click here for discussion on how to correctly access our photos in the iPhoto library.
    This problem happens only on one iPhoto of one User on the same machine. I tested this - I switched Users, opened another iPhoto and imported the same photos that could not be imported before with mo problem.
    This shows that iPhoto is ok - it is a library problem
    This problem started suddenly.
    This would be true of a corrupt library - the problems would start when the library was corrupted.
    In addition, when I was cleaning up photos and trying to put them into new EVENTS or creating new events from within another event, the photos in the new event would not show up, and I would get a question mark where the thumbnail was supposed to be. And clicking on the thumbnail would not open the photo. Those photos were visible in that iPhoto library until I created an event from the photos I selected.
    Again these are indication of a corrupt library
    I was trying to make a "Master" family library of all our family photos in one location and had worked over the past year scanning photos and adding them to the library. Generally, the cameras would be downloaded into the Master and my work related photos would be transferred to my MBP and deleted. Sometimes, this would happen backwards, transferring to the Master.
    How were you doing this?
    Could it be the size of the library?
    How big is it (details again are important) iPhoto is rated for 250,000 photos - do you have more than that?
    Basically my best guess is that you have a corrupt library - do you have a backup from before these issues started happening? If not (you should) then try rebuilding - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (Apple) keys and rebuild using the first three options
    Report back (with some details please)
