My laptop got unplugged and died when importing video..

my battery is kind of dead and won't hold a charge, and when importing video from a canon hdv hv20, my macbook pro got unplugged and died. now i have some phantom space missing on my hard drive..where can i find it?how do i delete it?please any help.

In the Movies/iMovie Events folder, you may find a folder with the Event Name that you were importing into. You can move this folder to the trash and start over. You may need to empty the trash.
If you had other video in this same Event Name, be really careful or you may lose it, too.
You should be able to reimport the video from your Canon.

My high resolution pictures got blurry and pixelet when imported into i-mov

Hi
I am trying to import bunch of high resolution pictures into I-Movie, when run the test, pictures all look very blurry and pixelet (lost pixel). I even disable the Ken Burn Effect inside the picture settings. Is there a way to keep the same quality of those picture when put into the movie timeline?
Thanks

SD video is just 1/3 megapixel. Importing a multi-megapixel image into iMovie turns it into a 1/3 megapixel image (or if you use Ken Burn: a 1/3 megapixel video).
Fear not. When you burn a DVD it will look just fine.
IMPORTANT: When sending to iDVD from iMovie, iMovie may tell you that some stills are not rendered. Do NOT let iMovie render them. iDVD will do a much better job rendering them.

HT3275 My backup got interrupted and now when I try to backup I get the following message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Macintosh.sparsebundle" is already in use. What should I do so that I can start backing up again?

1. Restart your MBP and try the back up again. If this fails try step #2 below
2. Unplug your Time Capsule from the AC giving it thirty seconds or so to discharge, plug it back in and retry the back up again once you're back online.
3. if step #1 and #2 fails, go here:

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

HT1349 my laptop got corrupted and recovered but i am not able to connect my iphone to my laptop

my laptop got corrupted and recovered but i am not able to connect my iphone to my laptop. Pls help me to recovery my iphone.

I had the same problem with my wife's iPhone 4, go to settings, network an see if 3G is activated in your phone, also check if data is activated, if this don't work, than the problem is not in the phone but with the carrier.
Your phone may show the 3G or the Edge network icon next to the signal bar, but 3G and Edge may not be really activated for your phone in your carrier network, even if you have a data plan, sometimes their activation department kind of forget to activate the full service in their network, it already happen to us several times.
Call your carrier and confirm if they really activated the 3G or Edge data in your phone in their network according to your data plan . They may need your phone's EMEI and ICCID numbers, you will find it at settings, info
Hope that helps

Hi,
My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo. Please help.

Take it in for service or most likely out of warranty replacement. Water damage voids your warranty so you will need to pay towards the replacement.

Audio problem when importing video files.

Hello everyone,
I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
Cheers
Christophe
PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

Update to 10.0.5.
You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

IMovie freezes when importing video

I am using iMovie 10.0.6 and trying to import video from a JVC Everio GM-HM320BU. I have been importing video without problems for quite some time, but always from the main memory of the camcorder. Recently I had to record some video on the SD card installed in the camcorder as extra memory. I received the error message "iMovie cannot import your selection" and iMovie froze. I had to "force quit" iMovie. After reading a bit, I realized I should have imported the video on the SD card via a card reader and that it cannot be import in the usual manner.
But now I get the same message from iMovie every time I try to import video, even from the main memory of the camcorder, and iMovie freezes. It appears iMovie needs to be reset so it can import video from the main memory. HELP.

Sounds like an elegant solution if in fact you have iLife '06 from which to restore. For those of us that have recently purchased an Apple product (because "it just works") this is not a viable option. I'm not going to go out and purchase any previous versions of iLife when I paid for what is supposed to be the latest greatest. Obviously the solution already exists because it was working fine before the last update, seems to me that it should be simple enough to turn back the clock a little so that we can all get back to work. Don't get me wrong I'm happy for you that you've found a solution, I'd probably do the same thing if I could. Right now my strategy is to continue to complain until something gets done, I encourage everyone that has this issue to weigh in. As for now my "work around" is to back to my PC based computer to download and edit all my video. "How do you like them apples", Apple.

Is there a size limit when importing videos?

Is there a size limit when importing videos into iTunes (8)? I have a 4+ gig video file I'm trying to import, but when I drag/drop it into the movies, nothing happens. It works fine with smaller files.
thanks
Scott

ah I see something in other forums about a Windows size limit of 4 gigs, so I guess that answers it.
thanks

I'd try Handbrake. Copy the Video_TS file from the DVD to the Desktop. Then use Handbrake to convert the file compatible with Final Cut X

Using Bars and Tone When Importing From Cards?

I edited video for decades, and for years on an Avid, and quit before we started recording onto cards and entirely digital material. I'm used to importing, let's say Digibeta tape, and using the color bars and tone to set-up the picture and audio using the bars and tone the cameraman recorded before shooting. I've been asked to work on some projects shot on cards, not analog or digital tape, and many video editors stare at me when I mention setting up using bars and tone as if that is not necessary any more.
Every camera is going to lay down video with slightly different color and exposure characteristics and I would imagine that footage would need to be adjusted using color bars. Otherwise, wouldn't the colors and exposure from different cameras be inconsistent when cut together?
I understand that waveform monitors are still used to make sure shots are "broadcast legal" if the show is going to be broadcast, but are the waveform monitor and vectorscope not used when importing footage any more? I know that color hue is used by shifting the phase, which doesn't exist on digital, but there still must be a need to tweak the color coming from different cards and cameras. Please help me out on this...
Thanks, from an old analog hacker
Greg

I'm the OP and I'd like to get back to my original inquiry, and thank you all for reminding me that I'm not alone in trying getting blank stares when I ask for bars and tone at the top of the footage. But I'd really like to know how one sets up FCP to run the footage from the digital tape or chip and tweak the video signal before importing, so that all the footage I capture comes in with the video properly set.
For example, today I shot with some fellows rather new to video, but they put down bars and tone. When we went to import the footage (some from tape, some from chip) we couldn't figure out how to run the incoming signal through FCP, see it on the waveform and vectorscope, and access the controls to tweak the exposure and color BEFORE importing a single frame. Is that possible in FCP, would you please tell me how to do it?
We could tweak footage after we imported it into FCP, but when we wanted to tweak it before importing, when we tried to capture we got a dialog box that basically said "Capture" or "Cancel". Is there a Preference or setting to choose so that we can do what I want prior to importing, or am I stuck tweaking each shot after I've imported all the footage?
Thanks,
Greg

Automatic directory creation and renaming when importing pictures

Hello,
I was wondering if what I'm trying to do is possible with iPhoto or anything in Leopard.
When I import pictures, I want to create folders and rename the pictures based on the date. For an example, when I import pictures taken on November 10th, 2007, I want to create folder "2007", then under that folder create "11", then create "20071110", then rename the photos in "20071110_001.jpg" format.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

No, actually I did all your posts all the way to the end. How can you tell? because I answered this question
The goal.
When importing the pictures through my Mac Mini, copy new pictures in the Samba server using the same structure, NOT in my LOCAL Mac Mini.
in my very first reply to you. I did this when I said:
No.
Was there some part of that that was confusing?
iPhoto will not do this, and, frankly, I know of nothing that will on the Mac. If you're confident with AppleScript you may be able to whip up a Folder Action to do it where you:
1. Download the pics to a folder in the Finder. Have the attached script read the exif data, rename the files, and then create the required folders on the Samba server and copy the files over. But I have to say that I don't know if you can get a Finder Script to read exif data. I certainly could find nothing in the library. Nor is there anything in the Automator library that I can see. You might like to post on the AppleScript forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724
where some of the folks over there might be able to help.
2. Then have an attached script that will automatically import the files into iPhoto. This is relatively straightforward with either Automator or Hazel.

Serious Error crashes CS and CS2 when importing XML

Hello,
I'm trying to import XML carrying text and images into a 130+ page brochure. I have been working on it for several weeks and have been re importing the XML successfully although something has changed.
Now when I try to import I get an error message and InDesign closes.
I've created new blank documents to test it and the initial import works fine. Although after items have been placed and tagged a re import causes an error message to pop up that states: Indesign has discovered a serious error and is shutting down.
There is nothing that we can see in the code that would cause this. We were trying to overcome a formatting issue and had tweaked the XML. but even after we returned the XML back to its original form we still get an error message. even in new test documents.
Any ised?

I don't work with XML, but in my experience, "serious errors" are often caused by bad fonts.
You might want to try changing the fonts in the code and see if that helps. You should also look through the error logs to see if you can isolate the module causing the problem. There should be a log in the InDesign application root folder, even if there isn't one in Event Manager.
