My macbook is overloaded w pics and video that i cant move files around on desktop. what to do?

i have 20,ooo pics and vids just in the photos folder in iphoto not to mention duplicates in different folders. last night i decided to make a movie with imovie and it transfered my vids and it asked me to make thumbnails and i did. today i started to move my pics to ext drive and it is so slow that i cant really do anything at all. right now im on my pc because my macbook is so bloated and i dont know what to do.

but I can't even click on the photos in order to delete or move them.  It's as if it is partially frozen

    If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
    =
    RANKX(
    ALL(Table1),
    CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(table1),
    ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
    DENSE
    If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

  • Why my pics and videos are separate in several files when I connect my Iphone 4s to my Windows 8.1

    When I connect my iPhone with windows 8.1 I can't find my pictures cause since a week ago I have many different files. I'd like to regroup all my pics and videos together in just one file.

    Hello Steve Hengen,
    I apologize for the delay.
    I have test in my own environment and can normally map the network driver when logon as Microsoft account.
    Do you check the option Reconnect at logon?
    If you use Connect using different credentials, do you check the option Remenber my credentials?
    Please take a look at the following article about map a network drive.

  • How do I find all pictures and videos that are in email files?

    I am trying to find and extract all pictures and videos that people have sent me in emails (and in other parts of the computer but not in the pictures area) over the years to copy them into my aperture collection.  Does anyone know how to do that.  I use Outlook 2011.  X1 on the PC can do this with a preview of the pictures so you can remove all small gifs etc.
    Thanks!

    You'll have to search the web and see if anyone's offering the videos you want. Videos from the 80s are unlikely to be legally available, but you could get lucky.
    BTW, for future questions, try posting in the iTunes for Windows forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • Transfering pics and videos

    i have a bunch of pics and videos that i have taken with my digital camera that i am trying to transfer from my pc to my macbook... i have saved them all to a usb stick however when i open them on my macbook they appear in "preview" and so when i close the program they all disappear... where can i put them so that they dont disappear and also so that i can upload them to my ipod??? also, my videos open quicktime but again as soon as i close them they disappear... where can i put them so they stayed saved??

    and also so that i can upload them to my ipod???
    They need to be placed in the iTunes or iPhoto libraries respectively to become available for transfer to the iPod. In either case, this can be done by dragging them into the open window of the respective application.

  • I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  Pics and videos have been deleted too.

    I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted.  I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either.  Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again?  Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost?  I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be.  Please help if you can.

    I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
    Need help too!!

  • Pic and video text

    Does anyone know whe we be able to send pic and video through text on Iphone 3GS

    That would depend on what country you are in and your provider.
    In the U.S. "MMS support from AT&T coming in late summer. MMS is not supported on first-generation iPhone. Sending video via MMS is not supported on iPhone 3G."

    The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network.  The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network.  Otherwise, you  have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

  • How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

    How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

    here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
    I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
    You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.

  • IPhone 6 will not sync music. This has become a problem since using itunes 12. It also will not sync all my pics and video's with my iPad 4  either. Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement.

    iPhone 6 will not sync music. This has become a problem since using itunes 12. It also will not sync all my pics and video's with my iPad 4  either. Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement. It stops at last step saying waiting for items to copy and just sits there.  The iPad finish the sync, but some video's are missing.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?

    Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

    Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
    I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime.

  • How do I transfer my pics and videos to my I-tunes account from my LG Dare?

    How do I transfer my pics and videos to my I-tunes account from my LG Dare?

    Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID.  (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
    If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes.  If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

  • Pic and video from camcorder to iphone????

    i have a HUD hard disk drive JVC camcorder made by Everio. It syncs directly to my pc using USB. I was wondering is there any way to transfer pic and video from my camcorder to my iphone either direct from camera or from the sync center on my pc for the camera.

    There isn't a way to sync directly to the iPhone from your camcorder.
    Once you get the pics/movies to your computer, though, it is possible. The movies need to be imported into iTunes and then synced to the phone. As for the pictures, you need to consolidate them into one folder and then from the Photos tab in iTunes (when you click on the iPhone icon on the left menu bar) you select the folder those photos are in to sync to the phone.

  • My pics and videos do not appear in the video browser?

    my pics and videos do not appear in the video browser? How do I get it back. I may have denied IMovie access to my pics and videos when opening the app for the first time.

    I have the same issue (iPad 3, iOS 6).  I have tried to:
    -erase all projects on the iMovie
    -reset the iPad
    -uninstall iMovie and reinstall it
    None of these three things worked and I am at lost in terms of what else can be done.
    All that happens when I start a new project is that under "videos" there is a big black box (empty videos).  Same thing for pictures.  When I press the camera button to insert a video from the camera, this works no problem.  However, I used to be able to insert videos/pictures from my Camera Roll.

  • It says i cant update any apps b/c theres no enough room i deleted pic and videos what next any help

    it says when i go to update my apps i cant b/c i have no room but i deleted pics and videos what next anybody have this promblem help!!!

    Try resetting the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to sync with yur computer
    After that would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
