My IMac is filled with movies but I have none

I have no movies on my computer at all, and  I do not know what files are considered "movies" .  I was also wondering how to get rid of the files to clear up the space.

See The Storage Display for info on one of Apple's more confusing windows.
But it looks like the Spotlight index is damaged or not up-to-date.  Drag your internal HD from a Finder window into the exclusion box in System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy for a few moments, then remove it via the minus sign at the bottom.
That will trigger a compete re-indexing, which may take a while and won't be done when the Spotlight indication no longer shows it, so do something else for a while.   If that doesn't fix it, post back and we'll try another finagle.

  • After Upgrading to 10.6.8 my aperture app starts but hangs trying to read the Lib. I removed the old lib and start with new. but still have the problem. 10.6.8 also made my Shark FX7 do the same thing. Any Ideas? Thanks

  • I need to work on documents in both my iMac and air book. But I have to download document and them upload it, and when I upload it I can't open it unless I open it on my phone first. Yet changes made on phone appear straight away. Does this make sense????

    On your Macs open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Documents & Data, then reselect that box then restart your Macs.
    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Documents & Data off then back on then reset the iPhone.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    See if you can open the files now without opening on the iPhone first.

    *** is wrong?!

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data.
    If this does not help, restore your phone:

  • Mail shows 70 new messages but I have none.  This only started a few weeks ago.  Rebooting didn't fix the problem.

    Mail shows 70 messages but I have none.  Why is that? Can it be corrected?

    When you say you have none, are you sure that you are viewing "All Inboxes"? If not, try going back (top left option) until you see that option. If there are no new messages in "All Inboxes" then the messages might be in folders or smart folders.
    Folders/Smartfolders
    If you have sorting rules set up on your Mac's Mail app, then these "new" messages are in those folders. These messages will not show up in "All Inboxes." This might be what is happening. To find out, open up each folder/smartfolder on your Mac and see if there are new messages in them because iOS devices (iPod/iPhone/iPad) will not sort mail like your Mac.

  • HT1657 I have not watched movie but only have 1 day to view?

    Downloaded a rental movie from ITunes have not watched it but it says I have only 1 day to view? Thought it was 30 day rental once views could be watched within 48 hrs? How do I solve this problem?  Have not been billed yet?

    Did you click play on it ? Even if you only watched it for a second then the countdown before it expires will start, which is 24 hours if you are in the UK, 48 hours elsewhere.

  • I can't receive mail from my verizon/yahoo account on my imac running snow leopard.  I checked all settings with verizon but still have the problem

    My mail application on my imac will not download mail from my verizon/yahoo account.  I contacted verizon and confirmed my settings to be correct.  I don't get any error messages, I can send mail but I can't retrieve it from V/Y.  Connection doctor shows all connections with a green light.

    Mail/Preferences/Accounts
    Incoming Mail Server:  imap.verzon.net
    Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP):  smtp.verizon.net:your email [email protected]
    If that does not work, call Verizon for instructions.

  • I use two users on my iMac. iTunes works with one but not the other

    My iMac is set up for two users. My music library is on my main user. About a week ago, iTunes starting crashing immediately upon opening. But when I quit the main user and go to my other one, iTunes works fine. Why??

    Is the new iphone locked to another carrier?

  • Message ,not enough room to download movie, but I have spane

    When I try to down load a movie I purchase I receive a message that tells me to rearrange my storage, but my storage has lots of space AND I purchased more space. What am I doing wrong?

    iCloud space which you can purchase more off, has nothing to do with your devices physcialy space which you can;t change. What you bought is what you are stuck with.
    Go to Settings->General->About.  In the list there should be a "Capacity" entry, and an "Available"  entry. how much Available space does it say you have?
    Movies tend to need around 1.2 to 1.5 GB for standard definition, and about double that for HD.

  • IMac locking up with 10.8.2 have to power cycle

    Second total lockup of iMac in two days.  I can still ssh into the machine from another computer on the network, but the GUI is totally locked up.  I had a song playing on iTunes, it was still going, but couldn't change volume or mute it from keyboard.  So appears user interface totally locks up.  Mouse moves around, but can't click on anything. 
    Computer hasn't done this before, wondering if recent OS update is causing issues?
    Should I revert to the way the machine was last week?  Is this possible?  I have time machine backups.

    Google or the search funtion here can also be really helpful...
    Check this one out.
    EDIT: Sure you haven't had more running, also in the background, also loaded per Login Items list? Hmmmmm...

  • Supposed to have full versions with educard but only have trial versions of everything

    I received a redemption code from my school to install creative cloud. I'm supposed to have the full versions of multiple apps, but am only able to download the trial versions. I was on the phone with an adobe tech support person for about an hour today who told me it was a problem with my school. I then talked to someone at the school who told me to try using App Manager, but even this is asking me to License my software. I just need help installing the full apps before I go crazy. Its my first week of classes and i'm already late on 2 assignments because of this

  • I accidentally uninstalled the audio program that came with the computer many years ago. Now I have no sound at all on the computer and can't get it back without a CD apparently - but I have none.

    Can I reinstall an audio program that I accidentally removed? Does Firefox have an audio program I can use instead?

    VLC is a great, Free, player -> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
    But changes are if you have no sound, you did more than uninstall a player, you uninstalled the driver....

  • My credit card has been used with Skype but I have...

    My credit card has been used for a Skype transaction that I have no knowledge of.
    The credit card which has been used is in no way assocaited with this Skype account or any other and never has been.
    For some strange reason, this seems to be the only way to report fraudulent activity from Skype, even though I am not a customer.
    Is this board post the only way to contact Skype about this matter?

    Ethan83:
    This excerpt from the FAQ article I referred to:
    Your card has been used fraudulently
    It is possible that your card has been used fraudulently to buy Skype Credit. We take every precaution to ensure that only genuine transactions get processed; however, criminals have developed a number of techniques, such as random card generators or using stolen card lists, to gain access to an individuals’ credit/debit card information.
    If your card is a credit card, you are not liable for this transaction in any way. All major credit card companies have policies that protect you against this kind of fraud.
    If your card is a debit card, your financial institution is required to reimburse you for fraudulent transactions.
    We strongly recommend that you contact your card issuer immediately regarding any unauthorized transactions and ensure that no further fraudulent charges are made with your card.
    We will also begin an investigation to locate and block the fraudulent orders related to your credit/debit card in our system. If you have a Skype account, please contact our customer service with the following information:
    The first six and last four digits of the credit card used to make the purchase. IMPORTANT: Do not send the full credit card number.
     The name of the cardholder as written on the card.
     The issuing country of the card.
    The exact dates (or order numbers) of the fraudulent charges on your credit card statement.
    We want to emphasize that this action will only stop the fraudulent orders in our system – it won't solve any other fraudulent charges on your card. It is therefore vital that you contact the financial institution that owns your card.
    Click on the link included in the text above, "contact our customer service."  Skype uses instant message chat with a customer service agent combined with web forms as their customer support.  As this FAQ states, We don’t provide support over the telephone.
