It depends on the type of video. iMovie will only import video that it can edit.
In general, you would use FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

  • I moved my itunes media from one external hard drive to another. How do I change the shortcut on my desktop to open to the new external hard drive?

    Ok, so i originally installed itunes on an external hard drive (G drive) and not my PC. So my itunes runs completely from my external and that how I like it. Well over time it got full so I bought and moved all my media over to a bigger 2TB external hard drive (D drive). I verified that all the media (music, movies, tv show etc) are all on the new drive and everything points to it. However the itunes shortcut on my desktop still points to the G drive external. If I unplug it and try to open itunes it gives me an error. So I have to keep the G external drive plugged in just to launch itunes and then use my new D external to get the media. How the heck do I change that? I tried moving the itunes.exe file over to the new drive but that didnt work. I want it to run exclusively off the new D external. Please Help Me!!! I am using Win 7 if that helps.

  • When I download videos (from an external hard drive), they appear to be downloaded (file sizes look correct) but they all stop playing a few minutes in!

    Try the following in the terminal
    ls -alh filename
    du -chs filename
    And what happens if you play the files directly of the external drive?

  • How to load files from old external hard drive to new PC

    Copied files from old PC (Windows XP) to external hard drive. Purchased new PC (Windows 7). Paid technicians to transfer files from old PC to new PC. Some files were lost in the process.
    Please walk me through (step by step) on how to load spicific files from an external hard drive onto my new PC.
    Thanx, rp1

    Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus are displayed at the top of the screen.
    Click Go > Network
    Double click the Time Capsule icon, then double click the icon representing the drive to mount it on the Mac's desktop. It is named "Data" unless you have changed it
    You can drag/drop files to the "Data" icon on the desktop
    235 GB is going to take forever if you try to do this using wireless. If at all possible, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
    Even using Ethernet, you are probably looking at 10-12 hours for the file transfer.  All bets are off with wireless only, but a guess would be several days....or even more.

  • Is there a way to watch videos from an external hard drive on my iPad?

    I have a collection of home videos on an external hard drive.  Is there a way I can view those videos using my iPad?

    Do you have a desktop machine running iTunes?
    If so then yes, setup home sharing and you can stream anything in your iTunes library to your iPad.
    It works good.

  • Due to a broken laptop I've loaded my itunes from an external hard drive my itunes wont play unless i leave the the exteral hard drive connected. what is the problem?

    My laptop working Vista H Premium broke, I now have laptop working Mindows 7 H Premium. I reloaded my itunes from an external hard drive but they wont play without the external hard drive left plugged in

    The media is on the external drive.  If you want to be able to play it with the extrenal drive disconnected, this will require moving or copying the media off the external drive to the computer's hard drive.
    Importing the media via iTunes may automatically accomplish this, depending on the settings in iTunes.

  • I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

    I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

    iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
    However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

  • I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

    Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

  • Having trouble importing mpeg videos from an external hard drive to iMovie or iPhoto. Keeps saying unrecognizable format. How do I get it to work?????

    I have always had a dell computer. But after the 3rd crash, we decided to throw it out and get a mac. We bought this computer a week ago. I was able to save all our family pics and videos from the dell to an external hard drive. So when I got the new Mac set up, I plugged the hard drive in and had no problem importing all our pictures. But when I tried to import our videos, I ran into some problems. We have had 3 different cameras with each having a different video format. All our videos are either avi, mpeg, or mov. All the avi videos imported successfully but the others will not. I tried importing them into imovie and iphoto and neither one will recognize the format. iphoto says unrecognizable format and imovie just completely freezes and I have to force quit.  Here is what is funny. I took the hard drive to my local store and when they hooked it up to their computer, they imported beautifully. Why won't it do the same for my brand new computer? Thanks!

  • Final cut pro x crashes when loading files from my external hard drive.

    The term, movie files, covers a lot of territory. What format? Open in Quick Time, hit Command–I and post a screenshot.
    My files are stored on an OWC external hard drive.
    Project and Events?
    If I drag a file to my computers hard drive, the applications starts up fine. SMH.
    Drag what kind of a file? Projects need to be opened from within FCP.

  • Loading files from an external hard drive on to Macbook

    Hey everyone!
    I'm going to buy a Macbook. My current laptop runs Windows. I've backed up my I-Tunes music, and a lot of photos, on to an external hard drive. Will I be able to copy this stuff on to my new Macbook?
    Thanks.

    These articles discuss how to move your iTunes library:
    Macworld - How to transfer iTunes libraries between PC and Mac
    Geek to Live- How to move an iTunes library from a PC to Mac (and back).
    As long as the photos are in a standard format - jpeg, gif, tiff, etc. - you should be able to copy them directly.

  • With an external hard drive connected to my mac , can i have the videos streaming on my hdtv via apple tv?

    can apple tv stream the videos to my hdtv when my macbook is connected to the external hard drive?
    PLEASE HELP IF SOMEBODY HAS SPECIFICALLY DONE THIS
    THANKS

    Yes, add them to iTunes. The fact that they are on an external doesn't stop them from being in iTunes.
    If necessary, create a separate library which you just use when you have the external connected.
    Alternatively, if you have an iPhone or iPad you could check out an App like Air Video, which displays video that isn't in iTunes on your device. I think you can then use Airplay to get it onto your ATV.

  • How do I download audio cds from my external hard drive to i-tunes, how do I download audio cds from my external hard drive to i-tunes

    My PC laptop died so I had to move audiobooks that I had downloaded to I-Tunes to an external hard drive. I now have a new PC laptop and want to transfer these audiobooks back to the I-Tunes on the laptop. How do I do that?

    The easiest way would be to just attach the external drive to the MacBook Pro. iMovie should see it next time you open iMovie.
    If you are going for portability, you can attach the external drive to the MacBook Pro. Then open iMovie.
    Then click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. You should see your external drive listed in the Project Library and the Event Library.
    To make a COPY just drag the icon for your project to the icon for the external drive in the Project Library List.
    To MOVE it, hold down the command key while you drag.
    If you want to edit the project, you will also want any Events, Photos, or Music referenced in the Project. To get those, click on the Project to select it (it is now on the MacBook Pro) and click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.
