Making a video clip on my MacBook Air fails

MacBook Air running 10.7.3 using Quiicktime 10.1 - When I try to make a movie clip I get the message "This operation can not be completed".  It works on my iMac.  Is my only recourse to delete and re-install?  If there is a less painful way to fix this I am all ears.  Thanks.

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

  • I'm struggling to move video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad. a few play but most won't go over in the sync. What format do I need to clips to be in?

    Greetings. I'm attempting to sync video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad 2 without much success.  A few videos go over and the rest can't. What format do they need to be in?  Thanks for any help you can give.  JWA

    QuickTime Pro costs a few buck but is a good tool to have on hand as it can open and transcode a wide variety of video and audio formats.
    It's like a Swiss Army knife for media files.

  • How can i stream video from Safari my MacBook Air to Apple TV.

    I've been tryingt o stream videos from my Mac Book Air to Apple TV that is connected to my projector but dont seem to see any options in safari to stream to Apple TV.  Have anyone tried this?  Is this possible?  My IPad can do it but dont understand why Mac Book cant.  Please assist!

    I Figured it out!  I put the Display chooser into the toolbar on the MacBook Air and there is a little selection that allows Mirroring.  I switched it on, got video, sound, and a happy man on my hands.  AND I found the correct answer myself, heh, heh, heh.

  • Audio in tele-video conferencing issue on macbook air

    using VSEE ( as in Vsee.com )  for tele medicine. Its like Skype but uses low band width and works amazing when it works.
    I  practice medicine via computers from where i live to other parts of the USA and from a Verizon FIOS router etherneted into my Macbook air 11" fully optimized  version 2013 i noticed audio from the far site ( a clinic using PC ) the sound was squelched, voices were cut off, i couldn't hear full sentences  Video always is fine.
    i then installed VSee for the iPhone 5 and there are no more issues.  I don't understand this.  Why is the audio fine with the iPhone and not with the MACBOOK AIR?
    anyone have a clue.
    why would wi fi be better for audio than a hard wire ethernet into the router?
    is it the computer itself?  a bad ethernet cable.  i did buy an ethernet usb cable to connect. 
    thanks

    CPU/GPU intensive activities will produce heat and there are fans to take care of that.
    3 hours of watching streaming media made the computer   warm to touch but not hot.
    Compared to an iPad the MBA feels warmer.

  • Youtube video speed-up with Macbook Air 13"

    When i am watching a youtube video, but go into another program for a few moments, as soon as I go back to youtube, the video hasn't kept up with the audio, and the video has to fast-forward to catch up. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
    Thanks.

    Why in the f uck is no one answering me. I pay 1300 god **** dollars for a macbook air and I can't even go into a youtube video, go into another program, and not have the video f uck up? Jesus Christ even my ****** 400 dollar ASUS I had before my mac didn't have this f ucking problem. Steve Jobbs croaks and now no one can answer my question?

  • Does anyone know why video clips on my Macbook Pro stopped loading all of a sudden?

    I logged in today and went to favorite blog sites on my Macbook pro and almost none of the video clips will load.  They don't even show up as hyperlinks or highlighted any longer.  Does anyone have an idea as to what might have caused this to happen?  or how I can fix it?

  • Distorted (flicker and lines) video on first gen MacBook Air

    I just had my harddisk replaced by the local Apple Store two weeks ago. Aside from the absurd experience of not being able to keep my harddrive, everything seemed fine. About four days after the replacement, the screen started acting funny. There are subtle horizontal lines that form on the screen that cause either flicker or blurring. They are not wide; they are not constant; and, they are not pleasant. Interestingly, I think the lines move with scrolls -- that is, they seem to be a screen buffer issue, not a screen issue.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't have the time, the patience, or the money to take this poorly built machine to the Apple Store yet again.

    I have the same problem with my MacBook Air. When applying pressure (using the palm of my hand) on the back of the screen (where the illuminated apple is located) pushing the lower center of the case and the display would normalize. Therefore, I was able to localize my issue to a problem with the *LCD LED LVDS Cable* versus the display or the display's connector.
    I determined this after removing the bezel from around the screen (it is held together by two side tape - no screws) and manipulated the LCD LED LVDS Cable until the video image was restored.
    I do not know if this is your issue. However, based in the fact that your computer had the hard drive replaced; I would remove the bottom of the case in order to verify that the LCD LED LVDS Cable is securely plugged into the motherboard.
    One other possibility is that there is a problem with the video chip.

  • Skype video not working (2013) Macbook Air 10.8.5

    I'm trying to do video calls with Skype with my Macbook Air but the video camera isn't recognized by the program.  Other programs like Photobooth and Facetime recognize the camera, however.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to fixing this problem?  All other programs are closed when I use Skype and the camera isn't being used by any program.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have figured it out! You just have to install the new plug in to your macbook.
    Download  the AppleCamera.plugin provided.
    Click on go in the finder menu, select go to golder and paste in /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/ ,
    move that item, AppleCamera.plugin, to the trash
    Go to your downloads folder and copy the new AppleCamera.plugin, then paste it in the folder where the old one was.
    It works

  • Transferring video clips from to MacBook Pro?

    Totally new to the Mac world...and trying to access some of my video clips that was stored on my pc (Sony vaio). I am not able to read these files and they are hugely important for my work. How do I transfer .wmv and .AVI or read or open such files? Hope somebody knows what I am talking about Thaaanks

    Hey QueenLioness,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! You can use codec components to extend QuickTime to import or play additional media formats (such as .wmv and .avi). You can read more about how to do so here:

  • Making a USB install disc for macbook air using a windows PC!

    Ok i have an iMac and a macbook air, so this guide here seems good for me right?
    How to Create a Mac Snow Leopard USB Installer Disk
    The problem I've got is that my iMac superdrive is skewed, it just won't read anything (disc is new etc but the drive won't work with pretty much ANY disc at all, and i mean any, just spits them out after a few seconds of trying to read it).
    Anyways, can this process as described in the URL above be done using a windows based pc? i also have one as a media centre in my room and it has a working dvd drive..... if so what do i need to do? this is driving me insane! i cannot afford an external superdrive or any other external drives at the moment nor is the iMac in warranty and nor do i have the ability to take it anywhere.

    Its a long one to explain but the superdrive in the imac works when it wants, and fortuantly last time it worked with the OSX disc that came with the imac! amazing, i made the usb installer and then when booted with macbook air it stated it cannot be installed. I did a little digging and discovered that it was because the imac came with one of those grey OEM discs and are not able to transpose to another machine at all, this is officially from apple and what others have used, hence my need to then get a full snow leopord disc.
    The disc however unlike the other OSX grey one will not read at all
    also what i mean is can i use the drive from the windows machine to make the usb install disc not using windows itself....?

  • Macbook Air fails to wake up from sleep. The keyboard lights up but the screen was still black. Had trouble turning it on and off and after I was able to turn the notebook back on, my information was lost.

    My brand new macbook air is just over 1 month old, and I am already having a problem. While working on a pages doc I stepped away for a couple of minutes to find that my notebook went to sleep. battery life was 71%. So I tryed to wake it by keying a few buttons, but the screen would not wake and the keyboard was lit up. Also, I could not power it down. I was only able to power it down after i plugged it in to the wall outlet. After I restarted the computer my document was lost. I changed the settings so that the computer was fall asleep after 1 hour of no activity, because I'm afraid this will happen again and I will lose my work. What can I do to fix the problem?
    Regards,

    Well, since upgrading to Mavericks, I started watching a movie. Suddenly the screen dims and then goes black. Trying to waken my MBA means I need to restart. I have turned off all the sleep fuctions for the monitor and the hard drive. Still is happening??

  • MacBook Air fails to wake and reboots instead after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi,
    I've got a MacBook Air, 2011, 13', that has been working fine for a few years already. I upgraded to Mavericks two days ago and so far it has been working great except for one irritating issue - it keeps rebooting my system instead of waking up the computer from sleep after some long sleep cycles. For instance, I was working on my MacBook for the whole day yesterday and put it to short sleep for a few times and everything worked fine. But when I put my Mac to sleep and got back home and tried to awake it, I saw a rebooted login screen, and the system suggested that I should send a crash report to Apple.
    The exact same thing happened just a few minutes ago when I awoke my Mac from a night-long sleep.
    On Lion and Mountain Lion, I never had such issues.
    Is this an issue with Mavericks that I should fix somehow?
    Thanks for your replies.
