Unnamed Video and Photos in iPhoto '11

I am trying to clear all the unnamed items using iPhoto '11 but am running into a problem.
I have several photos and videos that show up as having unnamed items (Smart List settings where Faces = "unnamed") but when I access these photos and videos, there is no Faces box available to apply a name.
I have made sure that the photos are not cropped and are in the original state but still there is no unnamed box available. Does anyone know why iPhoto considers some photos to have unnamed faces but does not have any unnamed boxes in the associated photos?
For the video, I suspect from reading the forum that this might be an unnamed field held over from iPhoto '09 which apparently created a .jpeg placeholder for video in order to use the Faces feature with video. But, then this would apply to that .jpeg which shouldn't be around anymore. Has anyone seen this and, more importantly, figured out how to fix it?

The reason iPhoto 09 was able to apply faces to a video was because iPhoto created a jpg file of the video's first frame to use as the thumbnail. The faces were applied to that thumbnail.
iPhoto 11 no longer lets us use that thumbnail image for assigning faces. It wasn't accurate since it only represents the first frame of the movie.

Exporting videos and photos from iPhoto

I have upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (Clean install) and downloaded the new iPhoto
but since then, when ever i try to export my videos, the program gives me Error message saying that "it can't copy the file".
and after deleting my photo library, and reuploading the photos and videos, MANY TIMES!!! i start facing a new problem:
the iPhoto was able to export the videos, but when i tried to play the videos i recieve error message "this video can't be opened"
of course i tried different programs and i got the same error; while the original files play normaly.
the other BIG problem, which i just noticed now, that iPhoto is deleting my GPS information from the photos after exporting them!!!!!
i had this MacBook Pro for a year, and i started to hate apple and MAC and I don't trust anything i do with it..
anybody can help me to fall in love with MAC again?!!?!
please help!

Thank you for taking the time and answering my question.
I decided to earse the disk, as i had so many problems with the laptop as it was extremly slow in almost everything.
and keep in mind that i only have Microsoft office 2011, and itune, iphoto, and recently i added Keynote, Numbers, Pages and ESET Cyber Security.
70% of my photos are still in an external hard drives as the original files, so i didn't backup them from the old version of iPhoto. The rest which i did back them up, i did through the Exporting option in iPhoto, using the settings as :
and that was ok, after doing the clean install of the OS, and upgrading to Mavericks, all the problems started with iPhoto.
For some reasons, iPhoto was refusing exporting the videos, and after different times of deleting the library and rebuilding it, iPhoto accepted to export the videos, unfortunately i didn't take a pitcure of the error message at that time. Now, this is what is going on:
It will export the videos and most of them they will have the icon of QuickTime, as not readable videos;
and when you try to open them this what you will get:
by QuickTime:
By mplayer:
and when trying the VLC or iTune, they simply do nothing, like you never loaded any files in them.
and i have used the ! ? alot, as it was the only way to express my anger, as since i decided to by a MAC, i have never had a good easy peaceful day with it.
thanks for your help.

Problems saving Videos and Photos on IPHOTO (IMAC)

This is about the fourth time I've had my camera spazz out. This afternoon I downloaded my camera roll (little over 300 photos) to iPhoto and deleted the originals. Then discovered my new photos were not being saved. When I go into my camera roll to review there are just white squares.
It's extremely aggravating but I just restored and set up my Cannon Camara.
Y can t losse this material=. It' s extremely important for me. Work Stuff !!!

Wow. You post once at 4:19pm and then again one minute later wondering if the forum works? It's a forum not a chat room.
Here's some tips:
Patience. The people who repsond here are all volunteers giving of their time for nothing. Courtesy helps too.
Clarity: "spazz out" is not a term I recognise. Can you explain it - ideally not using slang terms. You get more help when people can understand what you're saying.
Ignore irrelevant information. How you feel about it is of no interest.

How can I import video and photos from iphoto to imovie?

Hi, I am having trouble importing media from iphoto into imove (imovie 10.5)
I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2013 running mavericks.
I have created an event in imovies into which I would like to import both photos and videos from my iphoto library. However, when the import window opens, the list of options from where I can import has iphoto, but it is not clickable; I can not open it.
I have successfully imported from iphoto in the recent past on the same computer, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
Thanks for any suggestions

OK, according to
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
your camera is supported by iMovie 9. Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum. Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

The correct format to export videos and photos from iphoto to desktop

I need to export all photos/videos from iphoto to desktop and make a dvd.I learned that videos must be exported in "original" in order to actually see them on my desktop.But should I choose "original" format when exporting photos as well?I wanted to select=file=original for all together(making one big dvd), but will I be saving my photos wrongly?Should photos be saved in jpeg or another given choice?I just want to have everything finally saved on a dvd for keepers sake and finally go develop my photos.

Set the Kind to Jpeg
Then the Quality to to High
And that will be good quality

HOW CAN I MAKE A DVD FROM MY VIDEOS AND PHOTOS?

I have videos and photos in iphoto and want to make a presentation that will include photos intersperced with video. Is that possible? If so please advise. Not a high-tech kind of person

I've never done it with videos on iPhoto, so I'm not sure. You can certainly do it in iMovie.
Do you want it to play on a DVD player? If so, you'll need a DVD authoring program like iDVD. Older Macs shipped with iDVD, likely on a separate iLife '11 disk. Recently, Apple stopped bundling iDVD. If you have iDVD, once you finish the slideshow in either iPhoto or iMovie, Share it to iDVD. From there, you can pick a theme and add menus and such.

How to store videos and photos in external storage

Hi,
May I know how do I store videos and photos into an external hard disk so that I can free up my Macbook storage?
Hope to receive advice on this.
Thanks
Stephen Lim

Hi Stephen
Yes there are problems with this
A. external Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to be used for VIDEO as KLAUS1 writes.
B. a FireWire or Thunderbolt one is better than USB/USB2 as they performs badly to me especially when filling up.
C. DO NEVER - move or alter any folders named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder as this will break the connection to iMovie
ONLY move Event's and Project's from within iMovie Application !
D. Then the BIG problem - as I have no answer to - Video and Photos in iPhoto or Aperture.
Moving them to an external hard disk - and at least MY iMovie can not see them any more - resulting in broken Project's - most probably beyond repair.
and here I run into the wall of ignorance

Camera Video and photo transfer

How can I export my videos and photos to iTunes or Aperture for photos. from mu iPhone.

Videos/pic synced into iPhoto can then be put in any app you want for editing??
Maybe I'm not fully understanding your issue...

How can I organize home videos and photos in ipad

I don't have a mac or pc, just the new ipad. I'm planning to buy a camera card reader adapter so I can load my photos and videos directly from my camera card to my ipad. But then how do I organize my home videos and photos in my ipad into albums?
I saw the photo folder app does essentially what I want but does it treat videos the same as photos? I didn't see anything about it being able to organize videos.

See the follwoing and the links in the following:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Yuo will likely need a computer app to convert the format to one compatible with the iPad. I use the Free HandBrake app. It has an iPad preset.

How to create audio, video, and photo in a list view format

I'm creating a webstire entirely out of Flash using CS5 for a paranormal investigation group. In the past, using a Website Tonight template from GoDaddy had placed either an audio, video, or photograph with text above each item discusssing the content. Now, they would like this type of feature in the Flash website. I'm new to Flash, but seasoned in many other Adobe products ... not that this helps ... much!
Anyways, the website is looking great aside from this one set back, so I'm hoping someone out there can give me a helping hand. I'm willing to purchase a third-party template, but to incorporate that into our Flash file, seems daunting.
AUDIO
We need to load an audio that can play, pause, rewind, loop, and stop at the very least.
Then have text describing the situation around the audio.
repeat ... and so forth ...
New audio will be added to this section every week or so, and all the components need to scroll as the screen fills up. When adding new audio, we would add the new audio and text to the top of the list, pushing the remaining audio files down.
VIDEO
We need to load video footage with all the button features needed to play, stop, etc. I have found adding video quite easy, but to get the player to move with the text as the frame it is contained in scrolls down is another story. How do you do that?
Text describing the video contents will be above or next to the video player.
repeat ... and so forth ...
New video will be added to this section every week or so, and all the components need to scroll as the screen fills up. When adding new video, we would add the new video and text to the top of the list, pushing the remaining video files down.
PHOTOS
ditto as others
Thanks!!

As mentioned, building a custom application can be tricky, especially if you are not very familiar with Flash.
So you want a Web page with an audio player and selection list at the top (or where ever) and then a video player section, along with its playlist, and then at the bottom of the page you want a photo display area... Is that correct? and the scrolling you mentioned is because the page needs to be long enough to hold all 3 components? is that right?
Have you instead considered just using 3 different frames, one frame for each component and simple buttons to jump from audio to video to photos?
Or, skip the scrolling in Flash and let the html/css take care of the scrolling, just like any normal Web page. Just make the .swf as long as needed to display all your content.
Since you are new at this type of a project, I'd suggest you start small, take the project in steps... just build the audio player... then the video player... then your photo slide show..
Only after you have 3 working moduals would you but them together into one .fla
And yes, learn to use xml for ALL the data, audio, video, and photos.... very easy to update without having to re-publish any of the Flash.
Here is a good source for tutorials:
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/index.php?currentpage=11
Flash and xml
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/index.php?currentpage=13
learn to use NetStream to play your videos, much more versatile and powerful than using the FLVPlayback component
But learning how to incorporate xml into your Flash project is very important in a project like this. And then broken down into 3 components, it's really not that tough to build a project like this.

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

How to Sort or Import video and photos together in iMovie?

This is a common request and I haven't seen a good answer. I'm trying to import a collection of video clips and photos from a trip together to make a timeline based video/photo slideshow (just adding music and some text for fun). All the media files (from a few cameras and smartphones) are properly timestamped. The files are even named such that in the folder on disk they can be sequentially sorted (YYYYMMDDhhmmss.mov or YYYYMMDDhhmmss.jpg). In most Windows based movie making applications simply importing all the files together (video and photos in one big drag and drop) puts them in order into the slideshow for tweaking/editing and adding music. But iMovie (which is what I want to use on my MAC with its great tools) doesn't let you import all the media together or easily sort all the content by source file name or timestamp (or anything as far as I can tell) once you drag all the video and photos into the project (separately since video importing and photo adding are done separately).
With 200+ photos and video clips it is too time consuming to manually arrange them in time order (interlacing the video clips into the photos in the proper time).
What can be done? I've seen this question since around 2009 and assumed that iMovie 11 would have a simple way to just sort the project timeline. Any help?

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
There are several ways to avoid disturbing an existing Timeline when you are adding to it.
1. Using what are called keyboard modifiers, such as Ctrl or Alt (Windows).
2. Grouping block of clips so that the clips move together
The following video tutorial is offered for informational and not promotional reasons
Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
It uses a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 13, but the principles involved are the same.
The video and audio that are going out of sync.... are they linked or grouped before the addition to the existing Timeline?
After the fact, you will need to move the Timeline components back in place.
If the video and audio are not linked or group, you can
(a) highlight the clip, hold down the Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 1 frame per tap nudge of the clip.
(b) highlight the clip, hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 5 frames per tap nudge of the clip.
Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play on my ipad. Is there a way I can get them to play?

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play.
Does anyone know how I can make this work?

Yvonne-
I haven't tried videos on my camera yet. Do you use the Videos App to play them? I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format. You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion. <HandBrake> Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera. I don't know of another Video App that might work.

Can computer expert retrieve deleted videos and photo from and iphone 4 which the photos and video are not sync before? is there any tools or software to retrieve it?

No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:
