Video files in Iphoto cant open

My video files in iphoto can't be open. And when i checked it in my iphoto library it was change to MVI_Jpeg. How do i resolve this issue as i did not change anything.It was working fine and all of a sudden it appears in Jpeg.

There is no native support of iPhoto video files in Front Row at this time. You need to either add them to iTunes or your Movies folder.
You can add them to iTunes by turning off copying in iTunes and dragging the videos into iTunes.

Edited video file name now cant open in other programs

Opened a MPEG video file in HP MediaSmart video Main program and edited the file name. Now when I try to open the file it will not open in Windows Media player or my other video edit/programs. I did not make a copy of the file or do I have a backup, it's the original. How can I fix this?

@Goonies_2015 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. What I expect you have done when doing the change to the file and saving you ended up removing the .avi or .mpg file extension.
So what you can try is to go to the file where ever it is located. Copy the file then paste it. Then rename the file whateveryouwant.avi or .mpg. If this does not work then you may have edited it and saved the blank formatted file with no extension. If that is the case I am not sure if you can recover it.
Here are some links you can check out.

How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?

How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping? Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.

Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original. That should get the original video file exported. Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player. If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted? It should be OS X Extended (journaled).

How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie. The two hour wait to view all in iMovie puts the kibosh on my edit time.

How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie? The two + hour wait for thumb nails and hour long wait looking for the right videos kills the time I have to edit.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

I have an old version Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I uninstalled it from my old computer and was trying to install it on my new computer. It copied all the files but I cant open them and it doesn't ask me for my registration info, which I have.

when you were install your cs3 you should have been prompted for you serial number. were you?
if not, you probably didn't properly install cs3. copying/migrating/moving etc is problematic.
if yes, did you see any error messages during installation?
if yes, attach a screenshot of the error message.
if not, check you install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

How do I transfer video files in iPhoto to iMovie?

I downloaded some photos and video files from my Canon 7D to iPhoto. When I try to upload the videos Facebook and Youtube do not recognize the video files as being video files, possibly because they are in iPhoto. Will transferring my video files from iPhoto to iMovie enable me to upload the video files? And how do I convert my video files to MP4 files?

I've found dragging & dropping onto desktop & then drag & drop into iMovie works okay

Sony NEW RX10 & iPhoto Cant open RAW files

Hey Guys, I know that not ALL RAW files are equal! I just picked up a NEW SONY RX10 and its shooting RAW files in Sony's ARW format.. I see that the NEW a7's are updated in OSX updates, Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format, but I cant open these files in Preview and Iphoto wont see them either! Im using OSX 10.8.5 (ML) and Iphoto 11 (9.4.3) (720.91) Is anyone else having this issue with a RX10 or newer Sony camera with ARW files... Please reply! I really would like to shoot in RAW and use iPhoto to edit! I guess not ALL SONY .ARW are equal????

Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format,
There you go - that is an incorrect assumption (as most assumptions are - as you know when you assume you make an ***ume out of ***ume & assume) - every RAW format for every camera is different and requires specific support for tha tcamera - notice in the support list that many different cameras in the same family are listed seperatly
Usually Apple releases Sony RAW support pretty quickly since Sony is a major manfactuer of consumer and professional cameras
Tell Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
The Sony software that came with the camera may help (although my experiance is that Sony has poor to non-existance support for Macs) and possible the Adobe RAW converter can help until Apple releases the required update
And it is very possible that the update will only apply to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.x so it is possible that you will have to upgrade your OS and iPhoto (both free) - when you do be sure to backup first
The current Mavericks list is at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955

'Lost' or 'un-linked' video files in iPhoto 11

Hi Everyone,
In a nutshell, it seems that iPhoto can't find most of my video files, even though they are still there on the HDD. Additionally, it won't let me drag them onto / into the app.
Just updated to the latest iphoto 9.2.1 and the video files in my library (apart from some recent ones) won't play. If i click the thumbnail, the page goes to a ! in a triangle. If there is an image next to it on the thumnail page, that image will load. With the video file, if i go to File > Reveal in Finder > 'Modified File' /or/ 'Original File', they're both greyed out, which implies that iPhoto has 'lost' the file.
If i do the same with the image file, i can reveal the original in the finder, and see that the video file (ie .mov) is still there alongside the image file, and if i double click it, then it loads in quicktime and plays perfectly. If i try to drag that file into iphoto, i get the error
Unreadable Files: 1
The following file could not be imported. The file is in the iPhoto Library.
(It then gives me the true path and file name).
I have started up iPhoto with Cmd (or whatever it is) and ticked all of the boxes to rebuild the folders etc, but it doesn't work, and the fault remains.
At least i have the files (have heard some horror stories about iPhoto 11) but can anyone tell me how to get it all back working?
Cheers, and thanks in advance

Thank you Terence for taking the time to reply - and thank you v v v much for giving me the answer!
Using iphoto library manager to rebuild the library meant that i could then add the images that weren't showing up, to get a full library back again.
Incase anyone else is coming after me:
i rebuilt the library with iPLM
went to the old iPhoto library and showed the contents of the package (right click on the iPhoto file)
Dragged over whole folders full of images / videos from the 'Masters' folder
Told it to ignore duplicates.
Also i found this, though it's dependent on you not having opened the library with iPhoto 11:

though it may help someone.

Virus has changed all the office file format and cant open those file

Hello
Recently I attacked by some new virus which is changed my all the office document files and added a extra extension after the office file extension.If I manually change the infected file extension to orginal file format and try open it shows error message.
Although having System Center Endpoint Protection how could it would be the affected by the virus ?
Now please suggest me how to recover the those files to orginal file format or recover MS office file???
Thanks

Hi,
Anti-virus solutions are necessary to protect your system but it can never be a 100% secure.
Once Office files are damaged by the viruses, we can't guarantee the files can still be recovered.
Anyway, you can still try the "Open and Repair" feature in Word to repair the file.
Take Word 2013 for example, click FILE -> Open -> Browse to the file location -> Select the document -> Find the "Open" button, click the "Open and Repair" button from the drop list. Check if this can repair the document.

Cant open Iphoto, Cant open Iphoto

Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable, this is the message I get when I open my Iphoto, does anyone know what happen? Thanks

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I think I've overloaded my .ai file now I cant open it, Illustrator crashes

Hi all,
I have been working with a file which has gradually gotten bigger over time, (its now 22mb).
All of a sudden Illustrator crashes when trying to open this file. (If I click on the thumnbail I still get a preview of the file.)
Ive tried restarting and reopening multiple times. Each time I go to open the file Illustrator crashes and I cant go back into it.
Just wondering if someone can help as I have never come across this issue before.
PS Im on Windows 7 (64-bit illustrator)
Any hlep would be great

22mb does not tell me enough to target your problem as PDF compatibility can be OFF and that would still be a complex file
Do you possibly have lots of:
- vector points
- bitmapped effcts (eg: drop shadow)
- large canvas size
- placed hi res images of much larger res than needed
Restart your computer
Reset Your illustrator prefs
Break the links to placed images in your file (toss them temporarily os a folder called "x")
If yo have a corrupt or suspicous font, close that.
Open the file
Dial your document raster effest down to 72 if needed
Use >> Object >> path >> Simplify if needed
save as with pdf comptible off

Used "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto" now my video files in iPhoto have an error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved."

As the title states, I used the app "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto" to get rid of 6 GB of duplicate pictures. However, now when I go to view a video in iPhoto, I get the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved." I am able to view the video clips (with sound, etc.) in Finder. However, I want to know if there is a way to restore them in iPhoto?????
Thanks,
Leslie
I see that the suggested solution is to restore from back-up... is there anyway to do that without bringing in ALL of the duplicate photos I just deleted?

Try going back to QuickTime 7.4, we've seen the same problem occur with the 7.5 update. How did you make the .mov file that plays all of the files? For us, the problem shows up with reference movies (such as that .mov) made on a Mac, but works fine if it is created on Windows.
