Support lost for H264 videos between iPhoto 8 and iPhoto 11

Finally tracked down a nagging problem which seems only to be solved by forking over $$ for a video codec from third party to enable playing videos from a Bushnell Trophy Cam SD card.  iPhoto '08 had no trouble playing the videos using Quicktime 7.  iPhoto '11 now fails to recognize the same videos which are titled e.g. PICT0001.AVI.  They are supposedly in H264 format.  I have two MacBookPro laptops - both using Lion - one with iPhoto '08 and one with '11.  No other real differences.
The free codecs don't quite include all the video info; I can find non-free codecs which will open the AVI's with no lost information but I would rather not buy them to replace a function that was previously free.
Any suggestions?

  • HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

    I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".  Could you please help?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone)

    Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone) so that person can find their iPad coz the police would of taken mine if I did not show proof of purchase

    You are not communicating with Apple by posting here. Everyone here is just a fellow user and cannot fix anything.
    The Find My iPad service may have indeed been accurate to the limits of the technology. Unless the iPad was a 3G unit, location is determined based on the nearest WiFi router which in your case could just happened to have been yours. The police may be the ones who need to "fix" their understanding of how the technology works and its limitations.
    If you want to provide feedback to Apple on the matter, you can do so via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    but to be of any good you'll have to provide them with more precise details.

  • Transferring photos and videos between iPhone 4S and iPad 2

    Hi
    Is there a way (app or otherwise) to transfer photos and videos between an iPhone 4S and an iPad WITHOUT having to go via iTunes on another Mac/PC?
    I saw 'Bump' but it seems limited to just contacts and photos.
    Thanks

  • Can you provide text for the video, to be read and tried out at my speed?

    The video moves too fast, and assumes the listener knows terminology that he or she might not. Talk more slowly and clarify the terminology during the discussion.

    Which video are you referring to?
    Did you read the related SUMO Knowledge Base article (which is that)?

  • Video storage for all videos: In iPhoto? In iTunes? In iMovie? Or...?

    I want a simple solution to gain acces to all my videos on Apple TV
    I want to have all my videos in ONE PLACE!!! Right now they are scattered all over my system. I don´t want to search iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes and different folders every time I want to play my different video files and movies on... let´s say Apple TV. Why can´t we have ONE deticated unified "storage and play back" solution for all our video files on Mac OSX? Or at least a front-end that showcases ALL your videos and that is enabled to fetch ANY of those videos for directly playback right there.
    I do understand the need for different input solutions/apps for videos such as iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, Aperture. BUT after processing (or what ever you do with your videos) in those Apps, it would be great to be able to transfer... or keep a grand overwiev of all your videos and movies... in ONE place!
    Right now I have video file duplicates all over the place because I want to acces videos easily on my Apple TV and from what ever of the following apps I have open... iTunes - iPhoto - iMovie- (Vimeo) - (Youtube).
    I can acces all of my music in ONE place in iTunes. I want a simular "ONE place solution" for my... holiday videos... my downloaded videos... my production videos (iMove etc.) etc. etc.
    My question for now is: As we don´t have a proper solution for this yet, then what is at the present, the best and most simple solution to gain acces to my many different videos via Apple TV? I would like to avoid a media server and keep the files on my Mac.  

    If you want to play them on AppleTV, they need to be in iTunes - simplest way to do this from iMovie is using Share to menu and adding to iTunes.

  • Options for compressing video in iPhoto

    So after using iPhoto for several years now, I've got lots of HD video snippets (hefty MOV files) scattered all throughout my years of created iPhoto Events. I don't have any intention of using iMovie to drag all the pics and movies together and make a "produced" movie, but instead just want to be able to access the individual iPhoto events & albums from my AppleTV for viewing with family. The newest Home Sharing feature of iTunes allows me to do this.. watching all the pictures & videos within albums and events - a great new feature. Unfortunately though, the large HD files take for ever (5 mins +) to load to the AppleTV before playing, thus ruining the "home video" experience.
    I've done some experimenting compressing a few video files into 1080i .mp4 format using Quicktime then reimporting them into iPhoto. Without an "import to event" feature, it takes a while to find the imported files, then merge them with the original Event. When streaming the revised iPhoto event with the newly compressed video content, the files loaded quickly (1 to 2 sec) and were of acceptable quality.
    I'm pleased with the results of this experiment, however, at 15 mins of work per video it would take way too much time to do this manually for my entire library. There are no features of iPhoto I know of that can perform the compression task, thus requiring all the file moving back and forth. Does anyone have suggestions on how this task could otherwise be done in a simpler fasion or using an automated technique?
    Thanks for the help,
    Chris

    Check out Automator. I'm no expert on this, but it seems like you can get the Videos (gather them in a Smart Album first) and encode them with QuickTime in a workflow. That's half the work done. That just leaves you with replacing them in iPhoto.
    And you can do this in iMovie too. You don't have to edit, just import them (which you can do from the iPhoto Library inside the iMovie window, add them to a time line and encode them as you prefer. Then export.
    Not sure there is any way around manually adding and replacing them in iPhoto after though.

  • For information - sharing between iPhoto 6 and IPhoto 08

    Just tried (I've held off installing iLife 08 on the Macbook as I'm not convinced about the stability of all components yet!) this.
    iPhoto6 see the files shared from iPhoto 08 - as Events are not supported in 6 you just get the thumbnails for the whole library, no albums. That may have been how it was for 6-6 sharing but I haven't tried for ages so can't remember.
    Haven't tried sharing 6>08 yet.

    Thanks for this. I'n not surprised about Events, you couldn't share Rolls in v6 either, only albums. However, I'm surprised about albums not being available.

  • I'd like to know tips for sharing apps between my wife and myself on two iPads with two apple IDs and one computer.

    I'm new to iTunes, app store, and managing content on two iPads and an iPod. I manage both iPads and an iPod on one computer, but we have two apple IDs. All my music is on a home-theatre pc. I don't really understand home sharing yet, and I am hoping for some tips from experienced users to keep me from losing content, or mixing up apps and confusing digital rights etc.

    You cannot share apps, or any other content purchased from the iTunes Store, between two different Apple IDs.  Those purchases are tied to the Apple ID.

  • Best practices for realtime communication between background tasks and main app

    I am developing (in fact, porting to WinRT Universal App) an application connecting to Bluetooth medical devices. In order to support background connectivity, it seems best is to use background tasks triggered by a device connection. However, some of these
    devices provide a stream of data which has to be passed to the main app in real time when it is active - i.e. to show an ECG on the screen. So my task ideally should receive and store data all the time (both background and foreground) and additionally make
    main app receive it live when it is in foreground.
    My question is: how do I make background task pass real-time data to the app when it is active? Documentation talks about using storage, but it does not seem optimal for realtime messaging.. Looking for best practices and advice. Platform is Windows 8.1
    and Windows Phone 8.1.

    Hi Michael,
    Windows phone app has resource quotas, to prevent it from interfering with real-time communication functionality, background task using the ControlChannelTrigger and PushNotificationTrigger receive guaranteed resource quotas for every running task. You can
    find more information from
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/Hh977056(v=win.10).aspx. See Background task resource guarantees for real-time communication section. ControlChannelTrigger is not supported on windows phone, so you can have a look at PushNotificationTrigger
    class.

    Between webpages is quite simple.  It sounds like your Xacute Query template and BLS are configured to receive the properties, so make sure the web page containing your applet uses an irpt extension and then add the following lines within your applet tags to receive the tokens for the query:
    <PARAM NAME="Param.1" VALUE="{LowRange}">
    <PARAM NAME="Param.2" VALUE="{HighRange}">
    Then call your page with a URL like:  ...Page.irpt?LowRange=0&HighRange=100
    If you look at the web page examples in the Module Library template downloads here on SDN you'll see examples like this, as well as others.

  • Correct settings for editing videos in web format and Mov Export

    Under Premiere CS3 it was possible to create a project based upon web resolutions i.e 1024x768 and after editing export it as a simple .mov file. Under CS4 this seems to have been totally removed and only video dimensions appertaining to the TV or Film are available with no reference to web resolutions at all.
    I tried to open up a project file that I saved in Premiere CS3 in CS4 but this just results in the preview being blurred. If anyone has information on how to import a movie at 1024x768 into Premiere and edit it and then just export as a basic .mov file at the same size (1024x768) I would be very grateful, I have spent hours trying to work this out.
    Dave Thurston

    Dave,
    What are the specs of your source footage? The more detail, the better.
    That is what you will set your Project/Sequence to. For odd Frame Size and other irregularities, you will need to be in Desktop Mode and set everything according to your source footage. That's why I asked for details on what you are Importing. The format/CODEC will be important. If you do not know, then G-Spot will be your friend and tell you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Simple Instructions for pasting video into IDVD 3 and burning DVD?

    Many times I have tried to paste a video file into iDVD 3 and then tried to burn but it does not work, you click the burn icon in iDVD and it does not ask for a disk. I have a 700MB video file, it is in .avi originally but I can convert it to a different file type if needed, what file types burn in iDVD? And how do you paste the video file into iDVD 3 properly so it will burn? Because I must of been doing something wrong. I have -R disks.

    • Chapter markers can be added
    • Menu themes that can be adapted to movie
    Need Mac OS X.1.5 or rather X.2.2
    .avi - is most probably the problem as it is no video format - but a container
    Containers:
    .avi, .mov, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc - are no video format/codecs but containers
    Formats/Codecs:
    MPEG-4, H.264, AIC, streamingDV and many more are Codecs - this can or can not be opened by iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut so this info is important.
    So convert the codec inside it to streamingDV .dv or to AIC and You can import it into iDVD from File Menu down to Import.
    To find out what's in the .avi container
    - Open it with QuickTime-player and here
    - open Inspector (cmd+I) and
    - read Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?
