Unable to import videos into library

I'm using the iPhone 5 and want to add movies to it. My iTunes doesn't add videos into its library. Even though I go to File->Add file to library->select the movie, a beep sound plays and nothing happens. So I downloaded the Quick time player. But still the problem persists. I used Total Video Converter to convert the videos to the required format but still its not getting added to the library.
Am I supposed to download an extension to the iTunes to play videos or is there something else that I'm supposed to do?
Please help me with this.

Hi there op_srinath!
I have an article here that can help you sync the information from your computer into your iPhone using iTunes:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
The instructions in this article reference the iPod as the device being synced, but your iPhone can be synced in the exact same way. I also have an article that can help you with some frequently asked questions about video syncing that can help inform you about the process:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
Lastly, if you need to transfer videos from your iPhone into your computer, you will want to reference the following article for instructions:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Unable to import videos into iTunes library

    For the past few week I have been unable to import videos from my computer into the iTunes library using either the drag and drop or import file methods. I am using the latest version of iTunes and a second generation iPod touch.
    I have tried using file formats: wmv, av1, mpeg & mp.4 but all refuse to load into the library. To test I have changed a file name of a video that was successfully loaded into the library a while ago and this file also refuses to load. I have also used 'Smart FLV Converter' to convert the files to 'MP4 for iPod' and this converted file also cannot be imported. All of the files play OK from the desktop.
    Any suggestions as to how to overcomne this problem would be appreciated

    I don't know if this helps but my iTunes was crashing everytime I tried to add a file located in the "My videos" folder. I moved the files to "My Music" Folder and had no problems. Seems like a simple/stupid solution but it worked for me. I still don't know why it wasn't allowing me to do it in the first place.

  • Unable to import jpegs into Library

    HI all,
    I hoping somenone has come across a similar issue and resolved it. When trying to import my jpegs from both my iphone and my digital camera the import runs but at the end when prompted to keep originals or remove a message box prompts with the folllowing:
    Unreadable Files: 26
    The following files could not be imported.(the Import failed)
    Has anyone had this and resolved it. Its disastrous for me at the moment as i cannot back up all my photos of my new born girl.

    TD
    Thank you for your response, but unfortunately this did not help as i get the same issue as before - "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognised file type or the files may not contain valid data)"
    I now have another problem, where when i now open iPhoto it comes up with this message box:
    25 photos were found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them Yes or No.
    if i click yes it tries to import them, shows the above error message again (files could not be imported etc) then creates an album titled recovered photo's with no pictures in it.It also actually downloads the photos to a file on the HD titled " iPhoto Library Recovered Photos"
    If i click NO a message box appears stating " these photo's have been placed in folder xx/xx/xx etc titled " iPhoto Library Recovered Photos", so i now have 2 folders with the same pictures, but still unable to import. Plus i cannot stop iPhoto doing the above. every time i open it i get the above message and it creates a new recovered folder.
    I am now worse off than when i started.
    Help.

  • Importing Video into Flash Project ?

    Hi, I want to ask you about how can I import video into my Flash Project and make it possible to view ?
    I tried to choose embed FLV but the sound quality is quite shity and the video quality too. Furthermore, It expands the timeline which is too long because my video is quite long too. It said that it can be at least 16000 Frames to run.
    Now I choose Import -> Import Video -> Load External ..... and then I put it on one scene. The thing is that when I test it, it looks like I have to expands the timeline too so that I can play the videos fully. And It will slow down the computer so much when I want to export. Is there any way I can play the video only by just creating one keyframe ?
    Please help me.

    i choose Load -> External and it gives me some FLVPlayback in the library too ... But how I can make it relate to the previous scene and it can play the whole video and then back to the first scene...
    First scene is where people can choose some option that I made of ...
    A is where I link to the scene 3 of my project
    B comes to Scene 4
    C comes to Scene 5
    What I'm stucking right now is how can I made the C choice for people to choose and they can see the videos. I tried to drag the FLVPlayback to the scene 6 and it shows some result. But I think if I want to watch the whole video I need to expand the timeline as much as possible and I really don't want that. Is there any actionscript code or some tips that I can make it possible? Sorry because I'm a newbie so I don't understand your words. Can you explain it more ?

  • Unable to import video from DV cam.

    Hi,
    I am encountering a problem when I come to import video into my version of FCP 6.0.
    The DV camera is detected, and I can control it through the log and capture control panel, however when I select 'capture now' FCP only captures the first 3 seconds of my tape and the stops, prodcuing the following error message:
    "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has aborted and your clip has been saved."
    I don't believe there is a problem with my tape, as it is brand new, and has not been poorly treated. I have tried winding all the way through the tape and back, I have also tried different tapes, however I still get the same error message.
    I find it odd that final cut always imports 3 seconds and then errors, does anybody know the answer? Please help!
    I am running a Mac Pro, 2 x 3 Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, with Mac OS X V.10.4.9.
    My camera is a Panasonic, although I don't think this has any bearing on the problem.
    Thank you.

    Hi Guys,
    I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to reply to me, its really appreciated.
    Unfortunately I still couldn't get it to work, so I called the people themselves at Apple, and a very nice guy talked me through the basic checks, and got it to work!
    It turns out that my 'easy setup - use' was set to DVCPRO - PAL, instead of DV - PAL, and my camera was not DVCPRO Compatable. I changed this, opened a new project, (changes won't take effect unless you try in a new project), and it worked fine.
    Thanks again everyone, I hope this helps anybody else who might have experienced this problem.

  • How to import video into adobe muse?

    how to import video into adobe muse?

    If you want to embed videos in your muse site, without using a service like youtube or vimeo, then you will need to manually upload the video files on the server and use them via the video tag available in html5, HTML5 Video
    To insert the video tags in your muse pages, you will need to use the 'Object -> Insert HTML' option.
    Since this option is not available in Muse, out of the box, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.

  • Which is the better way to import videos into FCPX?

    Hello to all. I have recently purchased an iPhone 5 and while importing videos, I could import them directly via the camera import of FCPX which was open at that time.
    Later, when I tried to import a few stillshots, I found that I could not do it directly with FCPX importing into an event: reason being FCPX would not read the still photos. I learnt from the internet that one could import photos/videos from iPhone either through iPhoto or image capture. I tested out both of them and learnt that I could get my phoyos into FCPX via either of them.
    My question is this: is it better for me to import videos into FCPX directly or to first save them on an external HD via image capture? Will there be any effect in the quality of the video in these two different methods of import?
    Thanks in advance.

    You have already pocketed my thanks in advance Tom! The early bird catches the worm! Awake so early? Have a great day.

  • Problems importing video into Lightroom 5.3

    I am using LR 5.3 on a Macbook running Mavericks.  Since upgrading from Lightroom 4 I have had trouble importing videos into Lightroom. 
    The generic video thumbnail appears, but the import hangs and never completes.  When cancelling the import the error message is shown "No photos or video were found to import."
    After reading on various forums I have tried:
    restarting computer (many times)
    uninstalling previous version of LR
    purging video cache
    changing source location
    changing destination and/or import type
    reinstalling LR5.3
    I have also noted that old videos already in the catalogue that played fine in LR4 won't play back in LR5.3.  They play fine in Quicktime.
    Has anyone else solved this problem?

    Hi InVisionMedia

    So going over it might enlighting you on the issue. Also i would suggest to start with the Basic Troubleshoot for Playback issues on Lightroom: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroom-4.html
    If you have Lightroom 4 still installed, Also make sure that you can still use the footage in the original L4 catalog.
    See if the files still work fine in the "old" version.
    Hopefully it will help you to fix the issue.

  • Problems importing video into Event....

    Hi,
    I've used iMovie loads but recently I've had issues importing video into an event.
    I choose "import", choose the video (from GoPro) and then it takes 2-3 hours to import maybe half of the clips but not all.  I am importing no more than 7 clips at a time and these clips are 17 minutes each.
    Are the clips too big?
    Please help.

  • Importing video into ipad2 iMovie

    How do I import videos into ipad2?

    And yet just another example of how apple-centric limitations frustrate even the simplest functions.  If I can import a video directly into my iPad from my "non-apple" camcorder, and play it... Then I shouldn't have to use iTunes on another computer to not only covert the file, but to import it as well so that iMovie can "see" it!!!
    This even happens when using garage band ON MY IPAD then trying to use the music I created in I Movie ON MY iPAD!!!  You have to save the music to iTunes then connect to a laptop then import the music back to your iPad.
    This is CRAZY!!!!!!!
    Apple... Get your act together and make all this stupid crap stop... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! 
    Samsung Galaxy anyone?  While the video editing app isn't as good as iPad yet, the comparability and functionality blows iPad out of the water... You can actually save to folders!  Watch out apple google is hot on your a$$

  • Importing Video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper

    How do I import video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper? I ripped the video content onto my computer but it was not converted into a file that I can import.

    I think it's trend for all users since we can get more funny from digital life. Also it's necessary sometimes for us to save our video or dvd files with other methods, i have no idea but use something like converters.To my experience, mactheripper is not what you want,maybe you can try this dvd ripper for mac.Maybe ripper is illegal, but i just get my oringinal files, and i want to do more with it, that's just it!

  • Please help me.  I cannot import videos into itunes library

    I have read the manual's entries on doing this and nothing seems to be working. It won't let me import my own videos into the itunes library for me to convert to a file recognized by ipod. I have a 5th generation ipod. I am doing everything it tells me to do and still nothing. I have called technical support and they won't help me because I didn't purchase the videos through itunes. I have tried to click and drag the file and it won't let me do it even though the manual says that's what to do. when I look into the movies tab it is blank. When I put a dvd in my drive to copy to itunes library it doesn't even show up. I am going crazy and am about to return this if I can't get this figured out.

    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
