Not saving import conversion

I have been trying to import a 1.5GB .mp4 into iMovie. The import takes about 7 hours and then just disappears. Any ideas why this happens?
Thanks

iMovie is meant for camcorder imports.
your file is 'something else' (DVD rip, I assume)
problem is, any import triggers routines in iM, to convert material into something suiteable for editing => huge files (~40GBs/h), time consuming process (you found out that ).
just a guess, but in this case, your Mac is sheer overwhelmed by amount of datas.
reason could be a problem with drive-space, a partitioned drive etc etc.
two options:
• use a diff. app which handles yourr source natively; for basic 'cuts', free Mpeg Streamclip would be my choice
• if optinal, convert the very orignal into smallerr chunks + to AppleIntermediateCodec, iMovies own, internal format.

Messages Not Saving Whole Conversations

I noticed that Messages was not saving whole conversations (where it asks you to "load earlier messages" at the top). In the settings for Spotlight I had Messages checked off.
Is the Spotlight setting for having access to Messages directly related to whether or not Messages does not cut off conversations?
Thanks.

It doesn't cut off conversation when your messages are too long its like its archived which shows "load earlier messages".

IPhoto 11 not saving imported iPhone 3GS pics after exit

My wife and I both import photos form our iPhone 3GS's into iPhoto 11 (9.1 (475)). Since we want to save them in the same photo library, I moved the iPhoto Library some time ago to my Public folder, so we can both post to it. This has worked fine until installing iPhoto '11. When she imports from her phone, iPhoto says it has imported, and you can see the new pics. When she exits iPhoto, it gives a quick progress bar saying the iPhoto Library is being updated. Then, reopen iPhoto -- the new imported pics are gone. Have repaired permissions, hasn't made a difference. Any ideas please?
Thanks,
Patrick

Okay, I've done some more playing around and have had some success with retrieving lost photos.
I did a reveal in finder on a picture that imported from photo booth. It appears that iPhoto '11 has changed the way pictures are stored in the iPhoto library. Instead of being in a folder named the date of the import, there was an "11" folder inside of the "2010" folder that I'm assuming represents November. Inside of that were folders with various numbers that I believe are the days of the month the import was done. Inside of these, I found various folders. Some of these contained the original photos from our camera and retained the name that our camera gives them (begins with "IMG_"). Other photos in these folders had long numerical names and seemed to be photos that either my wife or I had previously published to facebook through iPhoto.
I created a new folder in my home directory in Finder and copied all the original "IMG_" files from the folders that I found. I then did an Import in iPhoto of these copied files, named the events and closed iPhoto. For whatever reason, this time, when I reopened iPhoto, they were still there.
So, this brings up several questions about what's going on. Is iPhoto only loosing pictures imported from the SD card? Is it only loosing pictures that are imported and then immediately uploaded to facebook? Is it loosing pictures that are imported and not given an event name? If we copy the files from the SD card to the Mac's hard drive first and then import, will we not see this problem?
All valid questions that will take some experimenting to do, but maybe what I've found so far will help others recover the photos that aren't showing up for them.

Aperture not saving photos

Suddenly Aperture is not saving imported files. I am importing them as I always do, and saving them into the "aperture library", but as soon as the application closes, the photos (and any associated albums) are gone. This just started happening about 1 month ago, and was working fine up until then. Ihave not upgraded to Snow Leopard yet, so its not associated with that.

Make sure you are not running out of storage space.
Backup, trash your prefs, and repair your Library.

How did you delete the Note? If you did a "select all" and "cut", open the Note and shake your iPhone to undo the cut action.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
this ?

No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

I have lost all my notes saved on my iphone after syncing it. and my default mailbox is gmail. notes were very important. and now i dont know how to get them back. can anyone help me out please? thanks in advance.

Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

Imported pics are not saved

I'm using iPhoto 11 version 9.15.
Since a few weeks iPhoto is not saving my imported pics anymore. Each time I'm importing my pics from my iPhone or my SD card it seems to be ok. But after I restart iPhoto the next time all the pics are lost. And I have to import them again. Luck for me that I didn't delete them on the card or iPhone.
I looked at the apple support page, but I couldn't find any software updates.
Anyone an idea what the problem could be? I'm pretty new in the apple world, and don't have much experience in the mac system.
Thx for your help
Timo

Damaged database file.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.

MP3 Encoder Import Bitrate is not saved by ITunes

Hi!
The importing bit rate for the MP3 Encoder is not saved by ITunes.
This is obviously a bug only present in combination with special software / hardware, since several people have already have posted this problem on this forum.
I am running
- ITunes 6.0.1.3
- Windows XP Home Edition SP2
on a
HP Pavilion zd8000.
What I need to know is where these settings are stored, so that I can edit them directly to resolve the problem.
If this is not possible, how can I debug to find out what is going on?
I have reinstalled several times, and the system is not behaving consistently. I have played with different versions of ITunes. I have removed all ITunes entries in the registry between installations. I have succeeded in solving the problem, but it has reoccured.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Vidar

I solved the problem.
ITunes preferences are stored in a hidden directory here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Programdata\Apple Computer\ITunes\iTunes.pref
(Programdata might be called something else in the English version of XP, I have the Norwegian version...)
Close ITunes.
Open this file in a text editor that can handle binary files, for example Textpad (www.textpad.com).
Remove the two lines starting with keys
iTunes.exe:MP3 Encoder:Custom
iTunes.exe:MP3 Encoder
Start ITunes. Set your desired import bitrate.
It should now be saved - and be picked up again next time you open your preferences.
Actually it was saved all the time, but something corrupts this file disabling ITunes from picking up the correct mp3 encoder settings. I guess the 160kb/s setting is the default showing up when no settings are present.
Hope this works for others having this problem as well!

Here's a test you can run:
1 - copy a set of photos from the disk to a folder on the desktop.
2 - download and unzip the Automator workflow Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile. You can download it from Toad's Cellar.
3 - select the files in the folder and drag and drop onto the workflow app.
4 - try to import the resulting files.

Big Mistake, I upgraded to OS X Mavericks this morning and now I have lost all my e-mail folders where I was saving important e-mails. I did a mailbox rebuild and it did not bring them back. Should not have upgraded?

Lync 2013 not saving conversations to Outlook 2013

I have several users running lync 2013 and outlook 2013. And randomly lync stops saving the conversation history to outlook. All office and windows updates are completed. Each user is on Windows 7 enterprise .
Here are a few things we have tired:
full office repair
Uninstall and reinstall of office 2013, with the removal tool as well.
made sure users had owner permissions to Conversation history folder in outlook.
The only permanent fix we have found is a erase and re-install of the whole system. Any one have any ideas?

Hi,
Have you tried creating a new mail profile in Control Panel?

Downloads of updates not saving, no prompts or icons in the Application folder-how do I ensure updates are saved?

I am following the instructions to download v 6 but receive no prompt to move the Firefox icon to the applications folder. I have done that anyway, but it's not saving-the latest version is July 11. I then get reminders to update all the time-what am I doing wrong?

A lot of people panic when they see Photoshop displaying differently from other software. But that's normal and expected. Here's what happens:
1. Photoshop is color managed and performs a document profile > monitor profile conversion when it displays. So whatever the document profile is, Photoshop will display correctly - unless you have CM policies set to "off" (...!)
2. Other applications, including many web browsers, aren't color managed and will just send the file numbers directly to the display. This distinction is extremely important, because there will be a slight difference. Again, that's normal. Photoshop is right and the other apps are wrong.
3. Without color management, it all hangs on how your monitor displays color. Most monitors are so close to sRGB that any sRGB file will display roughly correctly. This is why sRGB is the de facto web standard: it can live without color management. And that's why you should always convert web material to sRGB. Yes, that's the Edit > Convert to Profile option. You can also use Save For Web to do this if you check the appropriate boxes.
