Mts files won't convert or stay on MacBook Air

I have received some .mts files from Denmark (Which I suspect may be in PAL format) an I cannot get them saved on my MacBook Air, running Mavericks 10.9.4.
I have even tried downloading MPEGStreamclip and it cannot recognize the files. I have been able to get them to play on VLC app but it only plays them through once and won't let me save/encode them. I click "get info" and all the data is blank. 
Any suggestions on how I can essentially reinflate these .mts files into video codec I can edit? 
Thanks so much!!!

  • I have Office:mac 2004 and it won't download on my new MacBook Air.  Is it too old?  It says PowerPC applications are no longer accepted.

    I have old Office:Mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition from my previous MacBook and it won't download onto my new MacBook Air via external optical drive and says that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  Am I stuck bying the newer version or is there a way around the software issue so I don't have to spend more money.  Thanks for your help.

    You can purchase Offce 2011 from MacMall for about $99 so it is well worth the money.  As said in a previous post by Kappy, you can try one of the free office suites available.  They can read Office files and can save documents in Office format.  Apple's iWork is also a good ffice suite afavilable from the App Store by download. I have used Open Office,Libre Office and Neo Office and have liked each one of them.  Neo Office has the closest match to Apple operating systems - it just feels like an Apple program.  Open Office and Libre Office are also very good choices and dont have much of a learning curve at all.

  • How can i migrate my my emails  files from my PC to my new Macbook air

    How can i migrate or transfer my email files from my PC to my new MacBook Air?

    Here is an Apple knowledgebase article specific to your question. And here is a more general knowledgebase article about transfering data from one computer (including a PC) to a new Mac.
    Not to push you away from asking questions here, but did you know that if you go to Apple's main support page (there's a button to it at the top of this window) there's a text box where you can enter a question to find knowledgebase articles? That's generally the first place I go when I have a problem.

  • Imported files won't convert

    I'm trying to import some of my own audio files (mp3 and wav formats) but when I do so they supposedly 'import' but won't convert and drop into the timeline. Other files (such as those I've downloaded from iTunes) work fine. I need some ideas about what' wrong with my files. Thanks.

    Try converting them in iTunes: http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/NeverFail.html
    Believe it or not I once had to convert an mp3 to an mp3 to get it to work properly.

  • Canon HF20: backup the MTS files (and later convert), or import in AIC?

    Camcorder: Canon HF20. FCE 4.01.
    I have filmed some clips with the 7 mbps setting. The file size of the mts files is fairly small, but when importing it to FCE (or iMovie) the filesize is increased 10 times (to about 60 mbps) I found the answer in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10900327&#10900327 ,
    I want to save all my video clips to my external drive, and I am tempted to just copy the mts files to a folder, and then later convert them when I want to edit the footage. Would this be possible, or do I have to import them in FCE now?
    Is it possible to copy the mts files back to the camcorder at a later time (the entire file structure - the folder is called BDMV) and then import it in FCE?

    Yeah, make sure you copy the entire folder structure from the highest level and DONT delete ANY files (like I did!)
    I spent the entire night last night and the last week trying to get compatibility of .MTS files shot on a Canon HFS11 into FCE 4 (FCE 4.0.1 to be exact).
    I shot 3 months worth of footage on the HFS11 and would daily dump the AVCHD folders into date folders (ie 060110, 070110, etc etc) on an external HDD.
    Since I had all the .MTS files off the camera I didnt know if I could use Log and Transfer to bring them into FCE but it is possible. Like other forums many people suggested you had to have the folders exactly like they were on the camera. This is true, unless of course you have deleted some files or if any become corrupt then the structure isnt exactly the same. For me I had deleted any junk files using a fast .MTS viewer (called a windows 7 machine!) without realising it was going to affect the 'import' process in FCE.
    SOLUTION
    I found that the files in the CLIPINF folder (.CLI files) were matched to the .MTS files in the STREAM folder. So if you delete any .MTS files I guess Log and Transfer reads the INDEX.BDM file or the .CLI files and says hang on, something is different. So I went through my .CLI files and found the names missing from the .MTS files and duplicated a colour bar clip I made and renamed it to the missing files. Viola, and FCE 4 could 'import' them.

  • How do I convert old wma files to AACs within iTunes on my Macbook Air?

    I just bought a new Macbook Air (converting from a PC), and imported all my music files via external HD to my desktop. From there, iTunes searched the music folder on my Air's desktop and found alot of the files (mp3s) without issue. There are alot of files, however, that are not registering in iTunes (wmas). Is there a way to convert them to AACs on the Mac without having to download extra programs? On my PC, iTunes would offer to switch these files automatically to AAC, but on the Air I'm not receiving this notification nor do I see an option to do so. Please help!

    I was just having a very similar problem. I've had my MacBook Air for a few years now and I haven't had any trouble.
    My mom just recently sent me recordings of an old CD I used to listen to--they are wma files.  I have flip4mac and quicktime, so I can play them no problem. However, I can't add them to my iTunes library and I can't add it to my iPhone playlist. I tried duplicating and saving the quicktime file as an iTunes audio format, and I tried exporting to iTunes, but it keeps saying "Cannot Open This Media may be damaged."
    I used the Switch converter, and was able to add it to my iTunes Library after converting. Lucky for me, I only had to convert 12 songs. Really good app, thanks!

  • How do I transfer a file from a guest account on a MacBook Air?

    I'm logged into the guest account of a borrowed MacBook Air which is running OS X Version 10.9.2 and I've been trying to transfer a 2.19GB video file to an admin account, a USB or external hard drive, or online.
    1. Transferring the file to the admin account: Apparently if I log out of this guest account, the file will be deleted. So, I tried transferring it to a shared folder, but I can't find/access a shared folder... perhaps because I'm on a guest account? I tried using Terminal and codes I copy-pasted from Google, but they all require the password of the admin account, which the owner can't remember. We've been working together the whole afternoon to try to remember the password, but the owner says he'd be able to guess it if he had the "password hint". Unfortunately, we only know how to view the "password hint" by logging out of the guest account, which we obviously can't do, or else the file will be deleted.
    Transferring to the admin account: FAILED
    2. Transferring the file to a USB or external hard drive: I've tried both ports with 3 different USB's, and none of them were recognized by the Mac. I've also tried plugging in a WD external hard drive in both ports, but neither recognized the hard drive. All in all, nothing between 3 USB's and 1 external hard drive showed up on the Mac. Could this have anything to do with being logged into a guest account?
    Transferring the file to a USB or external hard drive: FAILED
    3. Uploading online: I've had two tabs open for the past 15 minutes: YouTube and Google Drive. Neither are showing any progress towards the upload. As I'm typing, both currently remain at 0%. I've also tried uploading the file through email, but Yahoo crashes before the upload even begins. In addition to this, I've tried uploading with Filemail.com multiple times. Each time it says it has "problems uploading"
    Uploading online: FAILED
    Is there anything I can do? Is there another method I can try? Perhaps theres a way to view the password hint without logging out of the guest account? Is there another way to access the "shared files" folder without needing the admin password? Is there anything that can be done about the USB's and the hard drive that won't show up? Is there a reason why the file won't upload online? I would really, really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are the home folders of all users. Open the home folder of a user and drag the file to the Dropbox subfolder. It should be copied, not moved.

  • Gallery movie won't play properly on new Macbook Air

    I uploaded a movie last night, but when I try to play it on my new Macbook Air, using Safari, it only loaded 1/4 the way and won't play any further. But it plays fine on my Windows computer. Every time I try to go back and play it, it gets stuck in the same place. It won't load any further, and I can't get it to reload from the beginning (where the loading progress bar starts at the very beginning). Google Chrome won't play it at all. I'm assuming this is a quicktime problem. I haven't done the last Mac OS update yet (I'm at work, my Macbook's at home). Any guesses on what I need to do? Just update the OS? And if I reinstall Quicktime, how do I do that?

    Any guesses on what I need to do?
    I would not want to hazard a guess until I can check the instantaneous data rate at the time of the problem. Got the URL and a time where the file stops?

  • How do I move iWeb files from my Mac Mini to my Macbook Air?

    Just bought a new Macbook Air and trying to work on websites I created on Mac Mini - cant seem to figure out how to import them into my Macbook Air

    Quit iWeb, go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and try double clicking the domain file.
    Also highlight it and click the get info button.
    In the info window under Sharing & Permissions, make sure you have Read & Write Privileges.

  • Can I use Time Capsule as an external drive to store iTunes files, photos and to back-up my MacBook Air?

    I need an external drive to back-up my MacBook Air. In addition, my iTunes library of music, TV shows & movies is pretty enormous and I'd like to move it from my MacBook to an external drive to free up space on the laptop.
    I will need to access my iTunes library from my Apple TV and the MacBook. I also have an iPad which will need to sync with the external drive.
    I would prefer the external drive to be wireless as I am very rarely docked when at home.
    Is the Time Capsule the right piece of kit for the job?
    Thanks.

    Is the Time Capsule the right piece of kit for the job?
    Not really, no.
    TC is a dumb as board hard disk in an airport extreme router. It has no media servers.. no backup.. it is slow and designed for TM target for laptops. The major one here is lack of backup. Any files you put on the TC can and will be lost at some point.. and to backup you need to have a computer connected to it with an external hard disk.. and a 3rd party backup because TM is too dumb to back up network drives.
    TC is designed to spin up slow and spin down quickly at the end of backup. You will have issues when you stream media from it.
    ATV needs to connect to itunes server.. not the library. You will still need a computer running. Same for lots of things.. since apple designed their system to be dependent on itunes.
    The best idea is a media computer.. a mac mini is ideal. Don't need the latest greatest.. but an actual mac running itunes. Unfortunately it doesn't have large internal drives.. so it is still a bit kludgy in needing a fast external drive.. but at least you have automatic backups.

  • How do i run a file from my flash drive on my macbook air?

    I haven't got a clue what I'm doing.  I have saved content from a papercrafting software CD to my flash drive and am trying to open/run it on my new Macbook Air.  When I try to run it I get a promp saying it can't open the application because Microsoft Wondows applications are not supported on OS X.  It's a .exe file ... Do I need to buy an app to run it??

    You need to use CrossOver Mac, WineSkin, or Windows. CrossOver Mac has a free trial.

  • I Have a new iPhone 6 and my contacts, calendar and notes won't sync between my imac, macbook air, iCloud. The three are fine, but the data won't reach my new iPhone 6. OS Yosemite, iOS 8.1.1

    Thanks!

    Hi vichochile,
    If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

  • QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

    I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
    ""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
    I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
    You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
    Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
    Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

    If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
    Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

  • I've been using iMovie '09 for more than a year and now .MTS files won't upload?

    I've been using iMovie '09 for more than a year and each time I would plug in my SD card (using a card reader) the import box would open and I could select the clips I wanted to work with. Now, suddenly, today the import box won't open. Why??? I literally just used the exact same method three weeks ago and it worked fine. I have not done anything differently. Also, when I go to "file > import from camera" it only shows the built-in camera. What am I doing wrong? And how do I get my files? I do not want to download a converter of any time. I know there has to be a way because it literally just worked three weeks ago so I'm just trying to figure out why it won't work now.

    Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade to Safari 5 or 6 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 and that is what you need to access iCloud (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759). I am not sure, but maybe you can install another and newer browser version of Firefox or Chrome to access iCloud.

  • Pdf file won't convert to word.doc but gives me no error code to fix it

    I'm using ExportPDF and when I try to access a file to convert from pdf to word document, it won't allow but doesn't give me an error code so I can find out why it won't open.

    Hi Harri,
    Would you mind providing more information?
    What was the original document type before becoming a PDF? Is it a scanned copy?
    How large is the file?
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.
    Kind regards, Stacy
