VIdeo files: can't export, can't drag, look good but really jpgs

Hi folks,
I've seen various versions of this issue before, but I'm stumped at this point.
I have lots of video clips in my Iphoto library (9 - on my MacBook Pro 10.6.6) taken about a month and a half ago.
Lots of them were already converted into IMovies. I had planned to do some more - but lo and behold, I can't access them.
Them look fine - roll over them and they are still indicating "movie" and also length of clip.
But when I click on them to play them (as I had done previously) - nothing.
When I try to drag them out of the IPhoto - gray circle and diagonal bar, i.e., no chance.
When I try to export them (in original) - unable to create.
When I export them as "current", they look like regular movie files with an .mp4 suffix. But they don't work and they're only a few hundred KBs.
They seem, in essence, to be just jpg stills at this point.
I don't understand why this is happening all of a sudden. There are some cherished videos in there, and also some work-related.
I'll take any workaround whatsoever.
They seem to be jpgs in both the "originals" file and the "modified" file.
Yet they are video clips I had not even touched.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

They seem to be jpgs in both the "originals" file and the "modified" file.
I'm afraid that's the issue there. In the Originals file they should be movies. If they are not there's no movie there. I would guess an issue importing.
Regards
TD

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". does anyone know what to do?

Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
Printer Driver v9.33
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.

Why can't I delete this video file from my trash can?

I have a video file that I will not disappear from my trash can when I click the "empty track" button. I managed to move the folder containing the video file from documents to the trash after a lot of effort, but it kept telling me that I didn't have the privileges necessary to delete the video permanently. Now the video file is sitting inside a folder inside the trash can where I can't move anywhere else. If I try to move it anywhere else, it simply copys to that folder but stays inside the original stays in the trash can as well, but I can still delete the copy and the original stays sitting in the trash can. Can anyone help me so I can get rid of this file once and for all.

ho yeah .. i know that, but i tried even in a low quality and it's not worked.
Maybe it's related to the TimeQuick?

Address book? Can't export, can't upload it, can't print it... ***? please

I have tried every conceivable way to export, and or print my address book.
To put it simply, I am creating an eVite. The only way it would upload my addresses, it said, was to create a CSV or Excel file. Can't do it. Well, I could manually type all 30 or so addys into a file, since I can't export them. But at that point I might as well manually type them into the eVite. But, I can't even print my address book to facilitate that process. So now I am faced with flipping back and forth between windows/screens as I do this?
Is there really no way to print this list?
I have gone to Window/address panel/edit/select all/print and all I get is the most recent email out of my inbox printing. I have been though every menu item at the top of my mail and nothing suggests I can export this file. I have opened the address book under Applications and still nothing.

the last download accomplished the job, however, it seems to be only a partial list. My contact lists contains duplicate names: a husband's email and a wife's email--it seemed to combine duplicate names and pick only 1 of the email addresses.
Anyway around this? Other than manually editing the cvs file it creates?
Thanks!

Best video file type to export for iPod?

Am using Premiere to edit movies, and was wondering what is best file format to export for eventual iPod conversion to get the best quality?

I am not familiar with Premiere, but below are the limits which are supported:
H.264 video up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
H.264 will give the best quality and smallest file sizes, but the price of this is time, H.264 conversion is time consuming as it is very processor intense.

Why a video file is able to transfer to my iPad 2 but not my iPhone 4?

Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a problem that is never happening before. There is a video file (MP4. H.264,AAC) which is normally support by my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 both devices. However when I sync it with my iPad, there is no problem with it at all. The video could play on iPad normally but when i sync the same file with my iPhone on the same laptop and same iTunes database, it is not working! And iTunes pop up a notification thats tell me "the file format is not support for yout iPhone". How could that happen??? I never have this problem before.
It is the matter because of the different iOS version? My iPad 2 is operating iOS 5.1.1 and my iPhone 4 is operating under iOS 4.3.3.
It is wired. Anybody could help me here?
With many many thanks.

Is there a way to store mp4 video files on iCloud that can be read by either QuickTime or ITunes?

Is there a way to store mp4 videos in iCloud so that they can be accessed by my IPad using Itunes or QuickTime. I'd like to travel with only my IPad.
Many Thanks

Yes, there are some apps that will use your iCloud storage to give you access to video. There are also other solutions such as You Tube, Vimeo or Dropbox. Apple doesn't provide any of it's own solutions for keeping video in iCloud.

I can not export, can you help?

I have 10.0.8 version of Final Cut Pro X.
I have a 6 minute video I made and have tried to export it in various forms. When I export it, it either says: Quicktime Failed :50 or Error with frame 7729.
If it does work exporting to quicktime it usually changes fonts in the porgram or deletes the audio.
It will not export to DVD or Youtube. When I try to export it it is very slow.
Can someone walk me through this?

There are so many threads about this…
Find the clip at that frame number and replace it. (In preferences>editing>time display, select frames to make this easier.)
With the range tool, select a section of the sequence that includes the replaced clip and export as a master file. If it exports, export the same section, Share>DVD. In the export dialogue window. under Settings, set output device to HD. If it makes a disk image, you're probably good to export the whole project.
If replacing the clip didn't work, delete all your render files. Open a new project and copy and paste your old project's sequence to it.
Good luck.
Russ

1080i video looks good on iMac but not on small movie screen

I have a 1080i video that I exported as a default 1440 x 1080 @ 59.94 fps. If I play the video on my iMac, which is 1920x1080, it looks good, but when I play it on a smaller movie screen you can really see the interlacing. I tried highlighting all my film on the primary timeline, going to Info --> Settings View from the dropdown box at the bottom, and then setting:
Roles: Video & Dialogue
Timecode Display: Drop Frame
Alpha Handling: None/Ignore Alpha
Field Dominance Override: Lower First
When I export and play that it looks pretty much the same, if not worse. I'm thinking that Drop Frame probably isn't good, but it still has the interlaced look.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

How'd you do that?
I just imported it from the camera. Again, I messed up earlier as it originally imported at 29.97.
How'd you do that? What format is your media exactly? Codec and complete specs.
Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM
Frame Size: 1440 × 1080
Video Frame Rate: 29.97
Video Field Dominance: Upper
Well, that's interesting. I didn't realize it told me what the Field Dominance is. Now I know not to use Lower.
Why should I not change the Field Dominance? Also, I was reading another post where a guy tried copying his videos from one project, 1080i, to another project, 1080p, and he was not successful. Have you tried this or heard of anyone being successful doing this? Thanks.

Can I lose the arrow on held video file

Hi, is there a way to lose the circle and arrow displayed over a video file... and can I still have it start on touch or linked event?

Open the video in Quicktime Player.
Select the Export menu item.
Change the Export type to "Sound to Wave".
Save the WAV file somewhere with the default settings.
Load the WAV file into iTunes and use iTunes to convert it to AAC for the Nano.
