Moving iphoto videos from mac to pc

i have searched for nearly a week now about this topic. i am trying to move my photos and videos from iphoto to pc via an external hard drive. i can do this, and the pictures show up, but the videos will not play. i've tried opening them with quicktime, itunes, window's media and nothing will play. they show up as a picture with a play button showing 0 seconds of video. is there any way to do this without losing all of my iphone videos from the last 2 years? i am selling my macbook and am afraid there is no way of doing this as i have searched everywhere. any help is greatly appreciated.

Are your videos QuickTime movies or AVI files?
Both formats are wrappers, a mov-file and a referenced media fork. Quite often, when copying, you only copy the wrapper and not the media file it references and the copy will not be able to find the media. Look at your exported movies - are the files relatively small? Then probably the ressource fork is missing.
To make sure that you export the complete movie, select the movie in iPhoto and use the command:
File > Reveal in Finder > Original File.
Open the movie in its place (do not move it) and try to convert it to a different movie format, for example mp4. This can be done in iMovie or QuickTime 7 Pro, if you have it.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X can't write in NTFS disks. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party app like Paragon for NTFS, being this application the best one to write in those disks.
Another option is to format the external disk in FAT32 or exFAT on a PC, so you will be able to read and write in Macs and PCs without having to use third-party apps. Do it on a PC and copy the files of your external drive to the internal disk first

How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

The easiest way is to firstly export the movie to iTunes (Share > iTunes), then sync the iPad Mini with iTunes. In iTunes, include your movie as an item to be synced. After syncing, on the iPad it will appear in the Videos app. That's how I do it for my wife's Mini.
If you need help with exporting or with syncing to iTunes, please post back.
I'm caught up with something else at the moment, otherwise I'd give you full instructions now (just wanted to get this to you quickly).

I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen).

I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen). Is it a problem that it is in the "Home Videos" section? I go into the "Home Videos" sections and drag the video that I want so that the bar comes up, move it over to the device and let go. All that happens is it flashes a few times and then nothing. No error or anything.

Workflow for moving photos/videos from iPhoto to LR

I used to use iPhoto, but have switched to LR. I'd like to move all the images/videos I have in iPhoto to LightRoom.
What is the workflow for making this move?
thanks
Greg

You can't run an iPhoto Library from a NAS. iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
You can't convert a Managed Library to a Referenced Library (see below for definitions of managed and referenced) with iPhoto - and you probably shouldn't anyway, especially when the masters are on one volume and the library on another. See
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
for more on why.
With Aperture, you can easily have the Masters on one volume and the Library on another, and you can convert the Library from Managed to Referenced easily.
However, if you di any editing your planned set up will not work. Both iPhoto and Aperture will never edit your original file. All processing in these apps is virtual. So, if you fix red-eye for instance, the image in iPhoto/Aperture will have the red-eye fixed. But the image on the NAS will be your original file, with the red-eye. So any device that accesses the images directly from the NAS will have he original image, not the processed one.
Is that what you want?
Regards
TD
Definitions:
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

How to transfer iPhoto album from Mac to iPhone?

Hi all,
I hadn't done this in a while and now that I have Mountain Lion (10.8.3) I can't find the solution as before.
Really simple:
I built a modest photo album in iPhoto and now I want to upload it to my iPhone. Before, you were able to select 'sync' and it would do it, but that's not an option, or at least I don't see it. How can I upload a completed album to my iPhone?
Better yet, how can you upload a video from iPhoto on the Mac to the iPhone? You can't 'share' it with PhotoStream because it won't accept video.
Thanks much,
SHM

Open iTunes with the iPhone connected. Go the Photos section for your iPhone and check the Sync Photos from checkbox and clik on Selected Albums radio button.
Then select the album you want to sync to your iPhone.

How to Export photos and videos from Mac to iPhone?

Hi everyone,
I was trying to export a video from my Macbook Pro (Mid 2014) running latest version of OS X to my iPhone 5 (running iOS 8). I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far. It's easy to do in a windows computer just copy and paste but I don't know how to do it in a Mac...
Could anyone here help me with that??
Thanks

running latest version of OS X
Is that MacOS X 10.9.5, or have you upgraded to a Beta version?
I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far.
What are your settings on your iPhone for iCloud? Have you enabled iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo Library?
Then you are out of luck. With these settings, syncing of photos with your iPhone is disabled, so you can no longer sync with iTunes.
And the Photo Stream is behaving buggy and will not sync from your Mac to the iPhone.
Try, if disabling these settings and restarting the iPhone will help.
Otherwise, mail the photos or put them into Dropbox, until you can upgrade to Yosemite and iCloud Photo Library on your Mac.

Can't seem to stream mp4 video from Mac to PC

I've created some video using Handbrake on my macbook pro. I added it to my iTunes on my mac, and confirmed that it plays just fine on the mac, and also on my Apple TV2. However, when I try to play the same video on my PC, it doesn't work. It just sits and stalls iTunes.
However, when I attempt to stream a PURCHASED video (from the iTunes store), from the same mac, to the same PC, it works just fine.
I've found some reference to the problem on other forums, but, the solutions seem to not be working for me. I've tried lostify to fix the atomic parsley info (which people say is the root cause of the problem), but, no joy.
So, does anyone know how to fix video streaming via. home sharing from a mac to a pc?
Both are using iTunes10.0.1.

This is a very good question. I am about to buy an AppleTV2. I also use Handbrake to copy my dvds and want to stream them to my AppleTV. Before I buy one I'd like to see what you find out. Have you tried doing an m4v format?
Let me know what you find. Thanks

How do you locate the file where iPhoto library is kept? I moved iPhoto library from hard drive to external dedicated photo drive.

I am trying to restore some elements of my iPhoto library using time machine.
Apple instructions call for locating the file where iPhoto library is kept, and tells you where it is on your hard drive. But I've recently moved my iPhoto library to a dedicated external hard drive, and copied my i photo library there. when i click on it, all the photos are there, but it's an iPhoto library, not a file.
When I go into time machine and click on the date i would like to enter, most of my apps have a circle with a line through it, unaccessible. So: a related question, how would i retrieve a photo file from time machine's previous backup? thank you.

Thank you!
I am trying to retrieve photo uploads from my Android phone. When I last updated my OS, most of these vaporized, leaving only thumbnails. I have had two lengthy sessions with Apple phone support, but still haven't solved the problem.
Apparently I can't go back to July '14 iPhoto in time machine and browse files; i have to copy the entire library.
Which I just did, taking 2 hours.
In order to open the iPhoto library from July '14, I had to first update iPhoto.
When I went into the files, the same problem existed -- photo files gone, only thumbnails there. So now I'm thinking that it's the update that was the problem. This scares me to death, because when we're asked to update, we don't get a menu of preferences to make sure something has been unchecked, like the copy option i had enabled when opening photo files from my phone, which i store in a dropbox folder.
No one at Apple could tell me why this happened, so I have no idea how to prevent it from happening in the future.
That's why I'm trying to create better backups...but i can't figure out deja vu, because it won't open and sync the iPhoto library folder -- it wants me to find the file, and i don't know where it is on the external dedicated photo drive.
I realize this is about six issues, not one. But I'm really appreciative of any help i can get!

Recording Internet Video from Mac to VCR

Here's what I want to do ---
There is some streaming video that I wish to be able to show to a class. I cannot download it and burn it to a DVD, so I was hoping to hook up my computer to my TV, play the video and record it to a VHS cassette.
I have succeeded in using the TV as a monitor, with both video and sound, and I played the streaming video and hit the record button on the VCR.
However, when I tried to play it back, I just got several minutes of a screen that was blank except for the words "Unusable Signal." Obviously it had not recorded the video.
Does anyone know whether/how I can do what I am attempting?
Or is there a way to connect the computer directly to the VCR and record that way?
I realize this a backward process compared to what most people try to do with a Mac and a VCR. Please help!
(FYI, I am using a G$ PowerBook, running OSX 10.3.9, and Samsung VCR.)
Thanks.

Yes, you need to hook up the Mac to the VCR directly, as if it were the TV. If you then connect the VCR output to the TV you'll be able to see what you're receiving on the VCR.
Many VCRs have composite video connectors or S-Video connectors, to take video from handycams and the like so you should be able to do it without difficulty.

Help Transfering Music Videos from Mac To PC

Hi everyone! We have a Mac and a PC at home, both with iTunes. I'm trying to transfer music videos from my Mac to the PC. Both computers are authorized. I'm copying the music videos to an external hard drive from the Mac. After connecting the drive to the PC I double click the music video and it loads into iTunes, however, when I try to play it I hear the music but the video image is totally distorted. This does not happen with music videos purchased after the iTunes 7 upgrade. Those transfer well. It only happens to the older iTunes music videos. Is this normal? Should this be happening? If so, is there a way of converting the older videos so they play in iTunes 7 for PC?
