MPEG-4 video's turned into audio files

I installed a phrasebook from coolgorilla, and after that all but 4 of my video's weren't in the video section anymore, but they were all on my ipod and they were shown in iTunes as MPEG-4 files,however the video options in the settings weren't there, is there any way to get them to go back to video's?

I am using the latest version of itunes as well.
Let me make my problem a little clearer. The files are no longer on my ipod under the menu heading "Video" they have moved to "Music".When I try to play one of the moved files on my ipod it plays it as an audio track. I always keep my video settings as ask but the ipod isn't even recognizing these files as video files anymore.
When I try and play the file in itunes it plays properly . I should mention that the little TV icon that used to be next to the file to show that it is a video file has disappeared.
In my tinkering around I am thinking this is an itunes bug that for some reason my itunes stopped tagging these files as video files ...Gonna try reinstalling itunes.I will update if I find a fix.

  • Files in my pen drive somehow turned into .Ink files.

    Files in my pen drive somehow turned into .Ink files. They were working fine before that, and i only used my macbook. Did not copied any windows files and i didn't use a pc. How can i get my files back?

    No, i don't have windows in my MB.
    I did use this pen drive in a pc, but only to get some files that had nothing to do with the files that were already there. Do you think this may have turned my other files into .Ink files?

  • After deleting some unnecessary Apps in my Macbook Pro, I plugged my thumb drive to discover that I can't open my files, which I normally can, because they've turned into ".lnk" files. Please help.

    I have files in my thumb drive that I cant open. Inside my thumb drive, I've organized files in folders but I have files I havent put in folders yet. Those files turned into .lnk files.
    My theory is, my thumb drive caught a virus from another laptop because I copied files from my colleagues laptop.

    There are no viruses for a Mac, new theory required. .lnk files are aliases to a file, what did you delete?

  • When syncing iPhone 4 with new update songs turn into "other" files

    Hello,
    Yesterday i upgraded the iphone software to ios7, after doing this everything was working well but when it tried to sync my music files from itunes it said it was syncing music file until the iphone had synced completely when they turned into "other" files.  I ahve tried restoring it but nothing has worked and it keeps happeneing.  Was wondering if anyone was also having this problem and could point me in the right direction.
    Thank you inadvance.

    So far there is no fix, there are many threads on this topic and many people with this problem. We are all ticked off and Apple needs to fix this ASAP. They don't seem to care.

  • All files on USB turn into .ink files

    Whenever I put a flashdirve on my macbook all the files and folders on the usb turn into .ink files and I cant open them on a mac. I need to solve this problem ASAP because Im afraid to put my hard disk and loose all the files on it. This happened to 4 of my USBs and i have no backup of some of the stuff on them.

    I spoke with the techs at apple support, they likewise were stumped. His suggestion was that I reformat the drives as Mac OSX journaled. He thought the FAT32 may have been the issue as it is not natively supported by the Airport Extreme, but also was not positive since it is one specific folder out of 500 or so on my drive that is having the problem... he thought it may be the content. Unfortunately, the content in that folder is not different from any other folder on the drive. It is set to use accounts and not a single password. All the settings for permissions, etc are correct to allow anyone to access/read/write to the drive and folder... really baffled.
    Going to try formatting the drive and then giving it another go.
    thank you

  • File folders turn into exec files

    On a school iMac, I created folders which contained html, jpg, pdf files and other folders. I copied these folders to my thumb drive (the one I use all the time). When I got home, I put this thumb drive into my iMac (Yosemite OS) to finish the folder transfers. When I found the folders I was looking for, they had turned into exec files. What happened?

    We need some clarification here. Specifically, you say:
    When I found the folders I was looking for, they had turned into exec files.
    What turned into "exec" files? The folders, or the files inside them? And when you say they are "exec" files, what exactly are you seeing?
    One possibility is that the files you created have all changed to look like this:
    If that's the case, then most likely you have somehow created those files without an extension, which means that Mac OS X has no idea what they are. You need to add an extension at the end of the filenames: .html, .jpg, .pdf, etc.
    One other possibility, which Tim mentions, is that you have connected this flash drive to a Windows PC that is infected with some kind of malware that has replaced all those files with malicious .exe files. These would not affect your Mac, but would certainly affect the data on the flash drive. Do the filenames end in .exe or .lnk?
    If none of that matches what you're seeing, we'll need more details. Screenshots would help. Make a screenshot by following the directions here:

  • Turning my audio files into rss feed for podcasting

    I have been trying to figure this out for a while now and my brain is ready to explode!  My website is hopechurchla.com.  I am trying to make the audio files in our sermon archive into an RSS feed so that I can turn it into a podcast.  everything I read seems to say it is simple but it is skipping over the first step for me.  How do I place the rss feed into my page for the audio files.
    I may not even be asking this right... any help would be appreciated
    avery

    There is no need to do anything to your audio files to make them into an RSS feed. An RSS feed is simply a list of links and descriptions that people can subscribe to, written in xml language.
    You can use whatever type of audio files you might like, but you'll probably give a broader audiance access to the audio files if they are of the file type mp3.
    So store all your mp3s in a folder named "sermons" or whatever you may choose and then link to them in your .xml file.... this becomes the RSS feed. But be aware that viewers will need either a browser that can open RSS feed documents or some sort of New Reader like:
    http://email.about.com/od/rssreaderswin/tp/top_rss_windows.htm
    For a sample RSS feed:
    http://www.lynnjohnson.citradingcards.com/podcast.xml
    view the source code to see the structure.
    Or
    http://www.podcast411.com/howto_1.html
    .... tons of similar tutorials on line.
    But no... yuo don't do anything with the audio except perhaps make sure they are all mp3 files and stored in a separate folder.

  • HT3775 Hi, my mac which is on 10.7.5 osx. but when ever i insert any mpeg/avi video cd it shows the file format not recognized. i am fed up of this. plz somebody help me. what should i do now.

    hi,
              i am using 10.7.5 lion there are a lot of problems in this OS.
    like most of the programs quit's unexpectedly. some programs does not work on it. like adobe cs5 is not working. everytime time when i do click on adobe cs 5 icon it shows a message "To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open “Adobe Photoshop CS5” again" while i always remain connected on the net.
    2. when ever i insert an avi or mpeg video disk it shows the file format not recognized. to **** with this macbook pro n its 10.7.5 lion. the same disk works/runs on windows on windows systems.
    plz somebody help me what should i do now.
    [email protected]

    it sounds like a fualty installation of Lion, this may happen from time to time.
    The best thing to do in this situation is to reinstall Lion. You will not loose anything doing this, but you should always keep back ups of your information.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
    basically hold Cmd+R on boot..
    first go to disk utility, verify and repair your disks and permissions. Exit out of Disk utility and then go directly to "reinstall Lion"
    choose that and let it reinstall.
    Adobe CS6 does need Java to run.
    To play your movies you might need to get an application called VLC. VLC is a free app and will play most videos and music files you throw into it.

    you have a 64bit intel mac, so get the one for that.

  • How can I access data on an external drive in my mac after all folders have been turned into .lnk files? I am desperate!

    I don't know what happened, I connected my external hd today and all files had been turned into that!

    I know I am going to sound really stupid when I ask this, but how do I do that? There was this folder called Recycle Bin, which I have deleted already but the files are still in the same format. I know they are in the HD 'cause of the space taken up in it, but I would like to know exactly what to do to clear the malware altogether and have access to the stuff I have again.
    Thank you very much in advance and sorry for being such a dummy

  • How to export all tracks into audio files with the same duration

    Hi everybody.
    I am trying to export all the tracks into different audio files.
    It's 10 soft. instruments and an audio track. I tried with "File>Export>All Tracks as Audio File but the result is 11 audio files with different lengths. As the song is 3 minutes and 20 seconds I would like every single track to be 3.22 sec long.
    How do I do it? In fact, each track is composed not only by played instruments but also by moments of silence.
    Thanks!!

    The files are different lengths because each instrument does not stop playing at the same moment. It would accomplish nothing other than waste disk space if Logic appended silence to the end of each file in order to make each track the same length. The different lengths you see mean nothing because the absence of appended silence means nothing.
    each track is composed not only by played instruments but also by moments of silence.
    Naturally. And that silence is accounted for in your exported files, when the silence appears at the beginning of the track, and when it appears during the track. It just isn't appended at the end because that would be pointless. Consider this project, consisting of four tracks:
    When I use the command File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files, Logic will produce four files that look like this:
    The files are not equal in length, which is perfectly fine. What's important is that they all start at bar 1, and will align properly when imported into some other program. So all you need is the command you already used: File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files. In one step, it will produce all the files you need, and it will produce them correctly.
    By using Bounce, you would be gaining nothing except extra work, because you would have to do it separately for each file you wanted to produce. With Export > All Tracks as Audio Files, you get all your files with just one command.

    exporting tracks means that any panning or automation will not be rendered. So if you want the engineer to put up all of your tracks at unity gain (all faders at zero) and have your tracks & stems reproduce the mix you're hearing at your studio, use bounce, not export.
    If you want to have your tracks & stems reproduce the mix you're hearing at your studio, there's no need to go to the extra effort of using Bounce instead of Export. You only need to enable (in the Export dialog) the checkbox "Include Volume/Pan Automation." This is explained on p. 1022. When you do this, any panning or automation will indeed be rendered.

  • MPEG-2 Video does not match Audio issues - HELP!!!

    OK, this problem is driving me crazy, I have done 2 projects recently, with the same bad results.
    When I export MPEG-2 video using compressor, the video is a different length than the audio, anywhere from 2-5 seconds on a 90 min. video. If I export the video in OS 9 using Quicktime MPEG-2 export, it is fine.
    I updated to the latest version of Compressor and Quicktime, I am using only the standard export presets, nothing weird. So what is wrong with Compressor? Any help is greatly appreciated...

    OK, in doing some searching, it appears this is a common problem, but Apple has no fix for. This was the thread I found most helpful, IF you can call it that.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1795177&#1795177
    What a piece of crap! Compressor doesn't work, and they disabled MPEG-2 export on Quicktime 7??? Thanks alot Apple, you guys are going downhill fast in my book...

  • Importing .avi files and PE7 turns them into audio files...

    Why does it do this and what do I need to do in order to have PE7 treat them as regular video files for editting?
    (I'm using Downloader to pull videos from youtube and import them into PE7 to produce a disk.)

    First, do not worry, PrE7 has not harmed your files. It is just that it can only get to the Audio portion of those files, so that is all that it can display. They are still intact.
    Now, with many file formats, and AVI in particular, much can be inside that file. This ARTICLE will give you some background.
    With just the Audio coming through, my guess would be that the files are encoded using either DivX, or Xvid, as this is a very common problem. You can check this out with G-Spot, also mentioned in the linked article.
    If the files play on your computer, then you likely have the necessary CODEC, unless you're using MediaPlayer Classic or VLC Player, as they have their own CODEC systems.
    Steve's advice to convert these files is the best course of action. You may need to get the CODEC and install it (again, G-Spot will tell you exactly what you will need and if its installed on your computer). I do not know if Prizm has its own CODEC's but would assume that it uses those installed on the computer.
    Good luck,

  • How can an imovie video be turned into an FLV file?

    How can I turn one of my current iMovie videos into an FLV file?

    If your movie is less than 10 minutes, you can use iMovie to Share it to YouTube then use iSkysofts free downloader to download the flv file to your Mac.
    http://www.iskysoft.com/free-mac-video-downloader.html
    If it's longer than 10 minutes, you'll need to find converter software.
    I don't do much with Flash myself so I'm not sure what to recommend.  Google should help.

  • I made screen recordings through quicktime on mac and 6 of my 13 video did not turn into .mov files. How do I get them onto iMovie?

    i need to put my put my quick time videos (screen recordings) onto iMovie and for some reason its not letting me. they are not even .mov files. whta do i do? i need it for tomorrow!

    Yes, exactly (in fact I had that page on the Help Viewer open while I did it just in case I had skipped a step). Plus some other ways (like converting the clips to other formats, etc)
    But I have made the video by using QuickTime Pro, by stitching the clips together. It isn't anything like I want but I can move on now and contemplate other ways to make this work (unless you or somebody else comes up with something!).
    Thank you again.
