Need help playing my movies

my movies in iphoto are not playing and I don't know why. does anyone know why this would be happening? I used to be able to play them.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
were you able to view the movies in iPhoto previously? What changes have been made in the interim?
are you able to play the movies outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

HT5622 I need help finding a movie that I downloaded, can anyone help me with this?

Hello, I need help finding a movie that I downloaded, can anyone help me with this?

If you downloaded it to your iTunes library it will be in the Movies folder. If you downloaded it to an iOS device you will find it in the Videos app. This explains how to redownload previously purchased videos (available in some locations as long as the studio permits it): http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

HT3069 Hi need help renting, Italian movies via my Apple TV (currently Australia Settings).

Hi All,
Need help with renting a movie/tv show on my Apple TV, in a different country.
I have tried to change the setting on my Apple TV but when I proceeded to rent a movie, it told me I needed to set up an itunes account?
I already have one in English/Australia isnt the sufficent ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Cheers
Anthony

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

What extra equipment do I need to play purchased movies from itunes on my tv?

What extra equipment is needed to play itunes purchased movies to the tv?

A couple of options, but both assume you have a TV with an HDMI port:
Purchase a VGA Adapater and plug the iPad into the TV's HDMI port. $49 US, not inlcuding the HDMI cable
Purchase an AppleTV. A bit more expensive than the cables, but provides quite a bit more functionaility (including the ability to view purchased movies without the iPad). Runs $99 US. Also allows for using AirPlay
There are some third party devices (BlueRay players, for example) that support AirPlay, but probably more cost than you want to get into.

Need help with rented movies and Apple TV

I rented two movies from the iTunes Store from my laptop rather than my Apple TV. I cannot get the rented movies to show up on my Apple TV. I've tried to "move" the two movies from my laptop to Apple TV via the Apple TV tab in iTunes where it shows both movies under a "Rented Movies" section and gives me the option to "move" each one to my Apple TV, but when I click on each movie to move it to the Apple TV and then hit "Apply," nothing happens (at least as far as I can tell). Is there someplace special I need to find rented movies using my Apple TV remote? I clearly need help, please!

Hi Winston,
I have purchased the third generation of Apple TV but have not installed it yet, so I am still using my second generation Apple TV, for which I posed this question. Is the answer different when using Apple TV II?

Wrt54g i need help playing c&c online it keeps losing connection

i need help bad with getting command and conquer generals to play online because i never had a problem before with connection prior to getting the router but now i can't stay on for more then 30 seconds and i am really frustrated, can u please help me?

Hi…Every game works on different TCP or UDP ports. You need to forward these ports on your router and reduce the MTU to 1365. So get the port no required by your game, forward the port for the IP address of your PC.

Need help playing video in elements 9

I have windows 7 and just got priemiere elements 9. When it plays my .mov videos it only plays sound for a few seconds then stops. The video continues to play with no sound. If I open the same video in Quicktime or in photoshop elements 9 it plays fine. The whole reason I got this program was to edit my video and make movies of family events. What am I doing wrong and how to I fix it.

Welcome to the forum.
The MOV file extension is but a "wrapper," and almost anything can be in that wrapper. This ARTICLE will give you some background, and will also tell you how to "peek inside" the wrapper. What is the CODEC of your MOV files?
Also, note that there is a big difference between using a simple player to play an AV file, and editing that same file.
Good luck, and please let us know more,
Hunt

NEED HELP TWEAKING MY .mov - dunno if it can be done!

Okay. PLEASE HELP ME I own a commercial photography studio and we do lots of retouching. One of the things we like to do from time to time is create little movies in either iMovie or iPhoto that show each individual layer in the photoshop file, almost like a flipbook animation from beginning to end. We've done this for our laptops, iPads, and even discs we mail out. But now we want to put these on our website:
Here is what I need to be able to do:
1. Need to customize the exported file so that it has a specific pixel dimension - so one might be 740w X 320h, and another 640w X 780h. Each would vary, but would be tight to the image (no border)
2. Need to be able to have each slide/image play for less than 1 second! Preferably in the .2 ~ .5 range- sometimes, we add music and I like to adjust the speed so I can sync the beats to each slide rolling in.
3. Need to be able to add music
4. I WANT to be able to have NO TRANSITIONS between each image- for some reason, iPhoto keeps adding a dissolve between each and I can't seem to get rid of it- I uncheck the boxes, or even leave them checked with "none"
5. Need to be able to export as a .mov
Can you tell me what to use to create this? If I use iMovie, then I can't specify the dimensions- unless I'm missing something, I always end up with black bars horizontally or vertically, because my images aren't exact fits in their presets... Everything else would be perfect though, from accurate timing to music, etc. I wish I could use iMovie, but I can't seem to create exact dimensions... If I use iPhoto, then I can't change the slides to play less than 1 sec each, AND I can't get rid of the dissolves between each...
Anyone?

For that kind of close editing you need Final Cut Express.
You can specify the the dimensions, you can do sub-second editing and you can have simple cuts between shots with no transitions.

Need help: playing songs in order, strangewindow message, upgrading I-Tunes

I have 2 situations I hope someone can help me with:
1: PLAYING SONGS IN ORDER; WINDOW MESSAGE
I have CDs of music that when I load them onto my pc laptop the song names don’t come up—each song lists as “track 01” “track 02” etc.
When I try to play the album thru I-Tunes on my laptop, the songs won’t play in order. i.e. ALL the “track 02”s will play before going to “track 03,” then ALL the “track 03”s will play, etc. So I made a playlist of each CD.
Now when I try to play the Playlist, I get a window message that says, “The song “Track 01” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?” I can choose ‘yes’ or ‘cancel.’ YES takes me to folder selections. I find the song and click on it and then it plays.
There must be an easier way. I don’t want to search for each song one at a time in order to play an entire CD in order.
2: UPGRADE
I need to upgrade. I have I-TUNES 7.0.2. I went online to apple.com and couldn’t find any upgrade option, so I clicked on “download I-tunes”. I got a window that says “download complete.” But how do I tell if it’s really installed? Where do I go on my computer to see what version number it shows?
Any help is appreciated,
Carolyn in Las Vegas

2. Help->About iTunes
1. You have done something that has confused iTunes about the location of the files in its library. Without knowing what happened, it's hard to make a specific recommendation, but if you moved your files around manually, move them back, and then, if you want to change the location, do it only by setting it in iTunes preferences and then using Consolidate Library.

Need Help with iPhone movies

I downloaded a movie through iTunes last night for use with the iPhone 3G and when Sync'd it does not allow it to play. Can anyone help? Do I need to download an App to convert or can I convert this directly through iTunes? I understand that the movie file has to be an MP4 which I believe already is when downloaded through iTunes directly? Please help.
Also, one more question.. Is there an App out there I could download to make use of a zoom in-out function for the built-in camera in the iPhone? How about recording videos?
Thanks in advance!

Do you see the movie in your itunes libary? I believe of you highlight it and right click it will show a option to convert video for ipod (mp4). I have only tried this with my own videos and not anything from itunes.
If you set you sync options so you have manual control over file management, are you able to click and drag it on to the phone?

Need help making ball move and bounce off of sides of JPanel

I'm currently working on a program that creates a ball of random color. I'm trying to make the ball move around the JPanel it is contained in and if it hits a wall it should bounce off of it. I have been able to draw the ball and make it fill with a random color. However, I cannot get it to move around and bounce off the walls. Below is the code for the class that creates the ball. Should I possible be using multithreads? As part of the project requirements I will need to utilizes threads and include a runnable. However, I wanted to get it working with one first and than add to it as the final product needs to include new balls being added with each mouse click. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Ball extends JPanel{
    Graphics g;
    int rval; // red color value
    int gval; // green color value
    int bval; // blue color value
    private int x = 1;
    private int y = 1;
    private int dx = 2;
    private int dy = 2;
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        for(int counter = 0; counter < 100; counter++){
            // randomly chooses red, green and blue values changing color of ball each time
            rval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
            gval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
            bval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
            super.paintComponent(g);
            g.drawOval(0,0,30,30);   // draws circle
            g.setColor(new Color(rval,gval,bval)); // takes random numbers from above and creates RGB color value to be displayed
            g.fillOval(x,y,30,30); // adds color to circle
            move(g);
    } // end paintComponent
    public void move(Graphics g){
        g.fillOval(x, y, 30, 30);
        x += dx;
        y += dy;
        if(x < 0){
            x = 0;
            dx = -dx;
        if (x + 30 >= 400) {
            x = 400 - 30;
            dx = -dx;
        if (y < 0) {
            y = 0;
            dy = -dy;
        if (y + 30 >= 400) {
            y = 400 - 30;
            dy = -dy;
        g.fillOval(x, y, 30, 30);
        g.dispose();
} // end Ball class

Create a bounding box using the size of the panel. Each time you move the ball, check that it's still inside the box. If it isn't, then change it's direction. You know where the ball is, (x, y), so just compare those values to the boundary values.

Need help playing videos in iPhoto!

I got my iMac two weeks ago after switching from a 2004 80GB Dell Dimension (Windows XP Service Pack 3) I successfully imported my parents' photos and videos, our iTunes library, and all my photos. For some reason however, my videos won't play. It says it cannot find the original resource file. I used an external HDD to transfer everything over. Should I try importing my photos/videos again or do I have to take more drastic measures?
(I'm not sure if this will help, but my parent's videos are .mp4 files while mine are .mov.)

For some reason however, my videos won't play. It says it cannot find the original resource file.
Is this the message window you get:
That comes up when the original file in the library is missing.
If you bring over the videos again copy them to a folder on the Desktop and play them with Quicktime Player before importing into iPhoto to verify that you've got a working file.

Need help sharing Home Movies in movies not movies in photo

I edited a video in final cut pro and now imported it through itunes into my iphone so i can airdrop to clients with their iphones. I can not share any videos in HOME MOVIES in the video section. I can only share videos from the photo section from the camera. and i had no sussess importing the video into the photo section. I have been beating my head trying to find a easy way to share my videos to other iphones. Please help. John

This is something you would need to check with the Sony instructions. I would have expected you to need some software provided by them to enable this (though usually they don't provide Mac-compatible software or equipment).

Need help playing .mpg files

Just recently my computer has stopped playing .mpg files with sound, all I get is the video. iTunes, Quicktime and the Internet all will not play them with sound. Youtube.com does play movie files with sound so I'm assuming they aren't .mpg files.
This problem just started happening recently and I have no idea what I did. .Mov files do play with sound.
Thanks for any help.

The following steps solved my problem similar to yours.
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
For more detail, read this article.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
My output setting looked like 44100.0 Hz when I first opened Audio MIDI Setup. I changed it to 96000.0 Hz first and changed it back to 44100.0 Hz just to make sure the setting will be in effect. It worked.

Gateway Windows XP Norton Internet Security detects no viruses/spyware on my computer

Yes I did, several times. I unchecked the items in Directx one at a time until they were all gone. I even went out and bought a Gig of RAM thinking maybe that was a problem...I now have 1280 and no improvement. I called and emailed ITunes tech support--they said there was an issue last night with downloads that is corrected now. I purchased the TV show again, and have the same problem. Getting frustrated...
