.m4v files listed at spotify files not imovie

I've been saving some old video tapes by importing them into iMovie 10.0.5. Some of them came from a previous iMovie version, 9.9.5 (?). Due to space constraints I moved them to an external disc and all of a sudden they're marked as Spotify files (.m4v). Spotify has become their default player! I changed the default player to quicktime in the Get Info window but their still listed as Spotify files. How do I fix this?
Thanks for any and all help.

Why don't you just use your install disk(s) and reinstall iMovie?

M4v file not recognised by media center on xbox

i have downloaded breaking bad series, .m4v files but when trying to stream to xbox via windows media player. the message received is that the file type is not supported.
i have tried using real player converter and two other converters to change the file type all have failed. indeed when trying to find the file on media center the message states the path may be incorrect or not avaiable if offline.
can any one suggest a way forward to resolve this please.

I copied one of the downloaded tracks into one of my windows folders and right clicked on it. In Properties,General tab it says Type of File: M4P. It also says underneath Opens With: unknown application. I can listen to these tracks in itunes but not if I copy them to a windows folder (although I used to be able to with previous versions of itunes)! However, my only concern is not being able to burn them. If I try to burn a playlist exactly as stated in the itunes help guide it says burn completed but then will not play the tracks on the disk.

HT3775 .m4v Files not working with Quicktime

Whenever I download something in either .mp4 or .m4v from the internet, I cannot open the file and view it. Quicktime always displays an error that says "The document ' *insert file name here*.m4v' could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized." Is there some process that I have to do to convert it to a different usable format?

Try using VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

M4V files aren't recognized

I'm trying to import an M4V file into iMovie so I can edit it in to a project. When I select to import it sees the file but it isn't activated so that I can click on it. What am I doing wrong?

So you are trying to get the movies off a burned DVD disk. You need some software that extracts the files. They have been compressed and need to be uncompressed for editing in iMovie. You cannot just open them from a DVD disk, unless the DVD is a Data DVD.
You will need to use a third-party software such as Handbrake: http://handbrake.fr/
Ripit: http://ripitapp.com/
MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/
DVDxDV: http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
Most will need to be purchased. MPEG Streamclip is free, but may require Apple's QuickTime component ($20) for some MPEG-1 formats. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/

I have a Sony DCR -SR32 which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way to import files from this camera ?

I have a Sony DCR-SR32 HDD video camera which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way of importing video from this camera to imovie ?
Thanks

Greetings Pheona,
That appears to be a hard drive based camecorder. Usually these mount on the desktop of your computer as a little white hard drive icon. If you go inside you should be able to find the movie files the camera is saving. See what format they are (the last 3 letters at the end of the file name is a good place to start).
You can drag the movie files from the camera hard drive to the computer to copy them. Then convert them with a video file conversion program to a format iMovie can understand.
Try converting one of the files using a video file conversion program like Video Monkey: http://videomonkey.org/downloads/
In the "Convert to" drop down menu choose "DV" (Preferred), "Quicktime", or "MP4". Then import the resulting file into iMovie and see if that works any better.
If that program can't convert the files you can try another file conversion program:

Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

Why is Firefox 5.0.1 on my mac with v10.7 not able to open an .m4v file that four other browsers can?

I have a file at url: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16813292/boating_projects/pilot_house/Tabernacle_Test.m4v that I can open with Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, and Camino but not with Firefox 5.0.1. Firefox gives me a dialog suggesting I need QuickTime for Leopard. I have the same results with any .m4v file on my hard drive or on the internet. I have a desktop mac running OSX v10.7

That file is send as <b>video/mp4</b> by the server.
Do you see that content type listed on the about:plugins page or in Firefox > Preferences > Applications?
You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

PC users can't open iMovie .m4v file

my son made a really cute movie in iMovie, and saved it as an iTunes file, which put it in the .m4v format. i emailed the .m4v file to all our family and friends ... and the PC users can't open the file. can i do something about this (ie. save it in a different format)? please explain it to me in real simple terms ... i am a Luddite. thanks!

can i do something about this (ie. save it in a different format)? please explain it to me in real simple terms ... i am a Luddite.
You could always point out that anyone whould really wants to watch it could download and install the free QT 7 Player in much the same way that many Mac users would have to download and install either a WMV Player or a WMV component for their QT Player.
You realize, of course, things will likely get worse once you start "customizing" your exports of each recipient? My Sister only wants WMV 9 ($50 for Microsoft "approved" bi-directional components), my brother-in-law "prefers" DivX 6 minimum ($20 for the components), my nieces are into YouTube (posted directly from iMovie '08 for the price of iLife '08) and want everything posted there, and my Aunt (whose computer is more than a decade old) only wants MPEG-1 (which I used to make with iVCD (don't remember what that used to cost or Ti Toast 9 at $80) and of course there is always Visual Hub (at just under $24) for all of the others who will settle for older AVI or WMV files. You can also try exporting some of the "less recent" or "older" codecs like MPEG-4/AAC, Sorenson Video, Sorenson 3 Video, H.263, Cinepak, etc. There are dozens of audio and video codecs that can be combined in in hundreds of combination and placed in various file containers but the problem is you will probably never find a single compression format that really satisfies everyone all of the time. So before anyone can "draw you a map," you will have to make a decision as to "down which road you wish to travel."

"File Not Found" Error after Restoring Sharepoint List

Hello,
I restored a Sharepoint List via Powershell and all seemed to work fine. The Import-Log sais 0 Warnings and 0 Errors.
When I access the List now i can see all the Items, but when i click a Item to access it, i get a "File Not Found"-Error.
May the Alternate Access Mappings be the Problem? The List is restored from another Sharepoint-Farm that was accessed by different URLs.
What can i do to access the Items? Thanks for your help!

How was this list moved? Using export-import? Do you still have the old list in the old environment? Can you turn off dialogs on the list so that we can tell where exactly it is navigating to? Can you also install fiddler to see the web hops?

2.98GB .m4v File won't import into iMove 11?

I ripped a family movie off a DVD converted from a VHS tape, using Handbrake into an .m4v file and have tried twice now to import it into iMovie 11 without success. Is there some kind of limit that would make this fail? It starts building a .mov file in the iMove projects directory and I can see the file size increase until the very end (2 hours later) and then it gets deleted. Ugly. What am I doing wrong or are my expectations of iMovie too high?

So after waiting all this time, iMovie simply deleted the file the end without adding it to my event. No error. No joy and almost 13GB.

Reader version listed in GUI does not match that of executable file (again)

I posted regarding this issue before (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4817948), but was never able to find an answer.
Presently I am deploying Adobe Reader 10.1.5 via the MSI installer and group policy. The issue is that a user shut down her Windows 7 computer midway though the MSI installation interrupting (i.e. screwing up) the installation process. I had to delete a few registry entries and reboot the user's PC in order to re-initiate the Reader installation (something I've done in the past).
To verify that Reader was installed sucessfully, I browse to the Reader executable (AcroRd32.exe) in Program Files, double click the executable, select About Adobe from the Help menu, check the version number in the information box and see that the version number is 10.1.4 (i.e. the old version that I am upgrading from). However, when I browse to the Reader executable (AcroRd32.exe) in Program Files and and open the file properties, I see that the version is 10.1.5 (i.e. the new version that I am upgrading to).
So the Reader version listed in GUI does not match that shown in the executable property box.
This is the second time that this has happened with a Windows 7 PC. I've never experienced this sort of thing with a Windows XP PC.
Why is the version number different in the GUI? Where is the version number read in from for the GUI? The registry? Can anybody shed some light on this situation?

Let me clarify that the tool posted on http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html is not the uninstaller for Reader. Instead it is a cleaner tool used for any botched up installation as mentioned above. This utility should only be used in rare circumstances. Instead reader has its own uninstaller which can be used through ARP (Add Remove Programs) in Windows or you can also use the command line "msiexec /x AcroRead.msi" to uninstall Reader.
Thanks,
Vinod

IPhoto files not showing up in list

I have many photos on my new MacBook Pro, but when I try to "attach" them to emails, they are not showing up in the listing. I am a new Mac user, but so I don't know how to explain this. If this was a PC, it would be like files not showing up under "My Computer." PhotoBooth photos are listed though. Why is this?

Then something has happened to the permission and or attribute settings on your folders to mark files saved in them as hidden.
Try this Terminal command to show all files and you can turn it off by changing the true to false at the end of the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
If you then see your files tere is a problem with files being market as hidden when they are saved. Create a New Folder in the Root of the drive and look at its Get Info window and post a screen shot of it in this thread.

Some .htm file not displaying in Topic List, but displaying in RH11 folder

Hi All,
We are running a project using RH 11, team consist of 3 person (include me)
But we have problem with many .htm file from my 1st coworker, file not displaying in Topic List in my Robohelp and 2nd coworker.
Although we already get the latest file again and again
But .htm file displaying in all our RH11 folder.
In my 1st coworker RH, all file displaying in Topic List also RH11 folder, but when file generated then
Many files from 1st coworker, hyperlink is not working well (broken link / file not found)
Does anyone have experience about this problem
Thanks

First of all, make sure you do not have the following files in source control: .cpd, .pss, .ldb.
These files contain local information that can cause problems when in source control.
Then try this:
Everyone deletes the .cpd file.
Everyone gets the latest files for the whole project from source control.
Open the project.
Does everything now display correctly?
If yes, you need to make sure you delete the cpd file before opening the project each day, and also during the day if you know a co-worker has made changes that you need. This file is a database which includes a list of all the files Robohelp knows about. When other people are adding and removing files, this information no longer matches properly. I recommend doing a Get Latest in these situations as well, just to make sure Robohelp can find the correct information.
If you are still not seeing the correct files repeat the above process, but at step 2, pick the options to Overwrite local files. I can't say where you will see these options - they may be two checkboxes in a dialog box when you select Get Latest - it will depend on your source control application.
Hope this helps.

Files not displaying in list view?

I recently upgraded my MacPro (early 2008 8core) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Lion.
At first i wanted to do a fresh install on my machine but soon realised it wasnt possible to import old accounts from another internal drive so i opted to upgrade the system instead.
After doing so I was faced with an odd problem of files not displaying in my finder windows when switching through internal drives or changing from 'file view' to 'list view' or 'column view' etc...
The attached screenshots were taken in sequence youll also note that the path bar & top window name dont update either.
The relevant drives are in healthy condition with several tests run over them to ensure their healthy(Disk Utility & Drive Genius). I have also run permissions repair, and a utility to empty cahces etc (OnyX). From what i can see its possibly something to do with the Finder not updating or refreshing the window? The issue seems to be isolated to the drives however intermittently the problem exists deeper into the directory on 'TerraTank' Volume.
The finder also crashes semi-frequently and the problem seems to dispaear for a while and revealing the contents of these volumes for a few mins.
I have also checked activity monitor to see if any particular process was going haywire and all seemed relativly normal.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Regards,
JP

Onyx may be causing problems. Don't use it on a non-backed up system, as cleaning caches may damage them, and make things not work. Make sure your Spotlight indexes all drives you wish to be searchable. Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight and add each hard drive to the Privacy section, and then remove it again. Then click on the Spotlight menu every half hour to see when it stops saying that it is indexing. It might take a few hours. But once done, it should be fixed.
