Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers. For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime. They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer. I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong? They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats. Only video.

hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format. The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's. I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software? That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked! I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

I'm having a similar issue. When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render. Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing. I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it. Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

Issue With Exporting Video From Prelude To Premiere

So I import my raw media into Prelude and Export it to Premiere. In Prelude, I can see the entire video and everything is there. However, when I export it to Premiere only about 18 minutes of the video imports itself.
The thing is that this doesn't do it all the time. But it is driving me insane. I can usually work around it by uploading just that single video file (no other videos I need added) and that usually takes care of it. However, that's a giant waste of my time and was wondering if you folks can help me. Please!

Yes AVI is not a good option in a Mac environment and AVI exports from a Mac are rather unreliable and bad quality to use an euphemism.
On some occasions I gave QTs uncompressed 10 bit to one of my clients who was on a PC and all went well when he used my QTs with Premiere.
Set an in and out on the timeline to select a few seconds (as a test) and export it as QT conversion Uncompressed 10 bit then send that to your guy.

Having start-up issues with my 1st gen Macbook Pro

Hi everyone. I just started having start-up issues with my first generation Macbook Pro. It was working fine the other day when I last used it, but today I went to use it and it wont load up to my desktop...? It starts up (grey screen with the little swirly bar under the apple,) then it goes to a blue screen, then my background and dock appear, then (before any of my desktop files even show up,) it goes to a blue screen (that brightens up and then dims a little,) and it just keeps showing this with a little swirly progress symbol (shows when the screen is darker blue, then disappears when the screen is a brighter blue.) I've included a video that I took with my iPhone to show it situation. Any ideas as to what's wrong with it? Thanks in advance!

Safe Boot by restarting your computer while holding down the "shift" key. Safe booting disables all nonessential processes, often times allowing you to start up when you would otherwise crash.
As of OS X 10.5.6 Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache location in the /var/db/dyld directory. A corrupt cache here can cause the blue screen crash. Once you restart normally, the cache will be recreated. This should take care of the issue.

Of course you can. You may use USB drives, HDDs and other Mac if the need be. More details from you will be required if you want more information.

When exporting video from Premiere Pro?

When exporting a video from Premiere Pro it makes a .m4v file instead of .mp4, even though it saids in the Premiere Pro that it will make a mp4 file - and I can't use them afterwards. It has been there after I have updated last time.

Also, make sure that you check the box marked "Export Audio" if you want a MP4 extension.

Photoshop text issue with OSX Mavericks on Macbook Pro

I have a frustrating problem with Photoshop on my Macbook Pro. I can enter text without any problem, but the minute I try to edit it, resize, change font or colour it totallt dissappears and the layer name revers to 'layer x" (whatever number it is). This problem has appeared since the upgrade to OSX Mavericks, but only on my Macbook Pro...it does not happen on my 27" iMac which is running the same OS.
I have totally uninstalled all my CC Apps on the Mackbook Pro, reinstalled Photoshop CC, same problem.
I uninstalled CC again, and reinstalled Photoshop CS6, same problem.
this is despite having run the software without problem previously.
The Macbook Pro is a early 2010 model, has only 256 graphics...so cant run the 3D option of CC,but it has 8gig ram...the only difference between the Macbook Pro and iMac in terms of spec is the different graphics card size. (iMac is late 2012 newer version)
The problem is I am a teacher and the Mackbook is my teaching laptop...and I teach digital photography...so I have to have Photoshop up and running.
Any sugguestons...other than a total clean reinstall of the entire computer which would be a total pain and extremely time consuming.

Turned off the dictation feature and it seems to work with CS6 which I had installed....I'll try puting CC back on and see what happens.

Streaming video from Macbook Pro to 46 inch LCD

I am trying to stream video from my 13 inch Macbook Pro to my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV. I am using a HDMI cable to a DVI cable to attach the computer. When I play videos from iTunes, the picture looks great, however when I am streaming video from an internet site such as Netflix, the picture is not great (it almost looks pixilated). I am wondering, is this an issue with my computer (video card, etc) or does it have to do with my internet connection (I currently have the lower DSL connection)? Is there any other way to make the picture look better? Thanks for your help.

Yes, forget streaming that way, .....the ANSWER youre looking for is the APP BEAMER

Transfer photos/videos from MacBook Pro to External Hard Drive (not iPhoto)

I've read all the other threads regarding how to transfer photos from iPhoto to an external hard drive (i.e., format your EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)), however, I do not believe my situation applies.
In short, I download new photos/videos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro twice - in two distinct methods. The first method (and the one I favor) is to use the Preview Application to download photos to the MyPictures folder. Once this is done, I revise the name of each photo so that I can tell not only the date but also the event. Once this is done, I then also download the same photos to my iPhoto Library via iPhoto but I don't make any revisions to the file names (I don't know why I continue to download photos into my iPhoto Library since I don't like iPhoto, but I guess I feel like it is a "backup" of sorts).
My problem now is that my internal hard drive is filling up and I must transfer some photos to an External Hard Drive (EHD). I thought the simplest solution was to transfer my iPhoto Library since I don't really use it anyway and many people advise to simply format my EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). However, if I do that, my understanding is that I will not be able to then transfer the files to a PC, if I decide in the future to do so. The solution, as suggested by others, was to then format my EHD as "ExFAT". However, if I do that, my understanding is that iPhoto will not function properly.
So my questions include the following:
1. Is there any harm in simply deleting my entire iPhoto Library from my internal hard drive to free up space since I believe I have been downloading all my pictures in a separate location anyway (MyPictures folder)? Or will deleting my iPhoto Library somehow delete these other photos (even though they are not named similarly)?
2. If I decided that transferring my iPhoto Library to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled)-formatted EHD was the best solution, what would my options be if in the future I wanted to transfer the photos to a PC? Is that option lost forever? Or could I somehow transfer the photos from the EHD to the MacBook Pro, then re-format the EHD to ex-FAT, copy back the photos from the MacBook Pro to the ex-FAT-formatted EHD and then transfer the photos/videos to my PC? Is there an alternative better solution?
3. Any other suggestions?
Thank you

1 - no - if you do not like or use iPhoto then yu have no need for the iPhoto library - it is sefl contained and deleting it will not affect anything except iPhoto
2 - you can export photos form iPhoto to any format drive - it is only the iPhoto library that has drive format restrictions
Reformatting a drive totally erases it so you can not simply change the format of a drive without removing everything on it
3 - deciede what you want - if you use iPhoto then it has no cross platform capability and nothing you do in iPhoto is directly of use on a PC - you have to export from iPhoto to a volume that a PC can read
Since you do not like or use iPhoto and it will not do what you want I have no idea why you are messing with it at all

Wireless Issues with windows 7 on Macbook Pro 2008

I have a 2008 Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion OS X and installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp Assistant. Can anyone help me with my wireless connection issues? I cannot seem to connect to the internet within Windows but surely within Mac OS.

You likely did not do the first menu item when you started Bootcamp Assistant. This menu item is to download the Windows Support Software. You then install this Support software from within Windows.

Playing video from MacBook Pro to TV (Like iPod)

Hi, I have an iPod Video, with the cables that I can plug from the 3.5mm jack to the a/v ports on my tv and play video on my iPod...
I'm just wondering if there's anyway to just use this cable to plug from my MacBook Pro straight to my TV a/v ports and play the video, instead of having to import them to my iPod first...
They are MP4's and already in iTunes, I COULD just upload them to my ipod but i'd like to know if it's possible to just go straight from the computer.
Cheers..

i gave up on the apple ones, for me they weren't comfy, didn't sound good, kept falling out when i ran, were easily damaged if the volume was too high, and leaked sound like crazy which is annoying to everyone around
really not apple's finest piece of design
instead i now use some sony in-ear ones, mdr-ex71, it took a few days to get used to the fit but they have much better sound quality, are more comfortable, don't fall out, let enough outside noise in to be safe in the street, and don't leak sound - in fact when i wear them i'm sometimes annoyed by the sound leaking from someone else wearing apple's crappy earbuds!
