Video from camera won't play in iphoto

I can import video from my camera into IPhoto and the thumbnail shows up just fine. When I double click to play, nothing happens. Does anyone know what the problem is?

The usual cause for this is that you don’t have the codecs on your Mac to play these particular avi’s. The avi is a container for many possible codecs, so while one might play another might not.
Try install Perian, which will add codecs to Quicktime for you. Otherwise go back to the website of your camera’s maker and see if they have a Quicktime plug-in.

Importing video from camera won't play

I have imported pics and video frommy camera into iPhoto.The pics show up fine, but the vidoes are black squares. When I try to play, Quicktime opens, but the screen is just black/blank. The file looks to be an avi file? What do I do to make this work? I want to view the videos and eventually put them in iMovie. Help!?

Video from iPhone won't play on iPad

I received a video from iPhone in an email but iPad won't play it? Any way to get it to play on iPad.

I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem. The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform". Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:

Here is the link to the video done last night in 11:

The "raw files" are both adobe flash.flv -- it's just not making sense...
Thank you!!!

VIDEOS FROM CAMERA NOT GETTING PLAYED

Dear all,,,,..
I m new in here…..
I donno wots rong with my N900.BUT there are videos in the mobile…..that don’t get played……
MP4 AND AVI VIDEOS……
Even there are instances where,,,,, the videos taken from the same camera don’t get played on the device……..
Can anyone help in this regard,,,,,,,
The message that comes is
““UNABLE TO PLAY MEDIA, MEDIA FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED””

Read this article related to your issue. You may be trying to sync the High Definition (HD) version of the TV Show to your device. The iPod classic does not support HD content. You'll want to download the SD version instead.
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

Embedded videos from Presenter won't play/sync

I have a couple embedded videos in a PPT that I've published from Presenter to Adobe Connect. When I get to the slide with the video in the Connect meeting, the section with the video is blank. However, if I turn off the Sync, I get the play bar and can manually play it, but it does not sync to the group (obviously with sync being disabled).
How can I set it up so I can manually play the video and keep the attendees synced to the video, as well?

Hi,
You can get the playbar even in the sync mode. Click on share pod's dropdown menu and click on Show Presentation playbar option from the dropdown.
You will then see the playbar similar to what you see in un-sync mode and you can then play the video. Let us know if this did the trick for you!
Thanks

Files from camera won't import into iPhoto Library

I have a problem that came up just recently. Whenever I try to import .jpg and .mov files from my camera (Kodak EasyShare), only a few or none of the files are imported into my Library. A window comes up that says, "The following files could not be imported. (The import failed.)" Also, if any files do upload, it takes a very long time. I never had this problem earlier this year, and I've been importing files for a year or so. Please help! Thank you so much!!

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
Are any of the movies long (ie large files)? iPhoto sometimes does not like large movies imported directly from the camera but will import them from the desktop
Things to try
1 - will your camera mount to the desktop - if so you can import directly into iPhoto using the File menu ==> import to library command or can drag the photos form the card to a desktop folder and then import them from there into iPhoto
2 - use image capture (in your applications folder) to import to a desktop folder
3 - a USB card reader

Online streaming videos from PBSonline won't play after the commercial ends . It works in IE9 but not Firefox8.0 on Win7 system . Maybe I need a different plugin??

Just thought I'd ask in case others are having same problems or if solutions are available

In safe mode , no change in useability "watch PBS videos". Checked Theme/Appearance and selected Default 8.0 theme . This Add-on shows -Compatibility problems and the selection for "more" takes me a screen that has no options to change , upgrade ,repair. What would be the correct Default 8.0 Add-on for use on Win7 /64bit ?
Thanks in Adv. Cor-el for your time !
I don't know if its just me , but spent huge amount of time looking , filterering through sites trying gain understanding and corrective tools . The "check for updates" feature obviously is not working properly, I can't seem to find anything defined for Firefox 8.0! The Add-on page for Mozilla/ Firefox lists a bunch of "toys". There should a "serious section" to that site dedicated for system required plug-ins and add-on and upgrades . I'm like clicks away from Chrome , and I hate that action of frustrated disparity!!

Rented video from iTunes won't play

I rented a movie and it keeps stopping at the same spot. Help?

My problem was that I was renting from iTunes directly from my iPad, it was suggested to rent from my computer and then sync. It solved the issue. I had to re-rent the movie again though.

Why won't movie files from flip camera won't play on ipod even after being converted?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Video on YouTube won't play !

Video on YouTube won’t play Until I refresh the page? However, when the video ends okay then can not play the video again? Video plays only once then had to refresh the page in order to watch the same video?

Hi G-hot, were you able to solve your other issues with Youtube from your earlier thread, or is this an additional problem with Youtube? I think if you could list all the problem in one list it might be helpful.
[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/971257 Firefox 23.0.1 keeps loading the YouTube page and prevents access to My Profile]
Also, did you do the usual?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first on Youtube and Gmail). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then change the site at the top from youtube.com to google.com and clear those as well.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Found an error related to "can't get video from Camera"

So, I am back with the same issue: it is now 3-4 months I can't Video chat because iChat AV tells me "can't get video from camera". I disable the firewall (for the test), I forwarded nearly ALL the TCP and UDP packets from my router to the mac, I stopped any application such as PostgreSQL or others which might interfeer. I checked I didn't have any strange firewall rules still on even when switched of from UserPreferences (sudo ipfw list)...
Well, I can see myself with the camera but it won't get the image of the party I am connecting to. So... I looked in the console and:
2006-03-04 19:09:14.926 iChat[9245] WARNING: Freeze-frame failed: couldn't get local buffer for layer Local!
Each time, this is the message.
I did the downgrade Quicktime test I also reinstalled the combined update... nothing worked.
It seems CRAZY that nobody at Apple can at least tell me WHERE to have a look. After all the message is not very clear. Where is the problem? My mac, my router, iChat?
I filed a bug BTW... because it DID work in the past and now stoped working, so my netgear router can't be in fault (I also checked the logs of the router and of the firewall... nothing seemed to be stoped)
Alex

Hi Alexander,
Defcom aslo has a Netgear And I will let him come back on that side.
On the error front iChat has about 4 standard messages.
1) User did not Respond.
2) Insufficient Bandwidth.
3) Can not get Video from Camera
4) Did not get data for 10 secs
Unfortunately the causes can overlap, hence the lack of Ahaa !!
The most common feature of all of them is something to do with the way the routing devices are set up.
This leads us to start with the LAN set up,
The ports that are open,
the method used to open them,
Whether DHCP is being used with Port Forwarding as the IP can change to your computer and the Port Forwarding point to the "wrong" IP
How many devices are in the link to the Internet ?
IF you are doing NAT (Port Forwarding or Port Triggering) ?
Whether your ISP has started dong NAT to your service
Whether they offer a SIP based Service like VoIP phones.

Cannot download video from camera to MBP

MBP running 10.7.3 will not download video from camera SD card either in SD slot or SD in camera. Thanks.

iPhoto does not support mts files, you need to convert them to mp4 using Handbreak, and then you can add them to your iPhoto/iMovie gallery.

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

Need instructions on how to download photos and videos from my Samsung cell to my iPhoto

Need instruction for how to import photos and videos from my Samsung cell phone to iPhoto. Thx

Copy the files to the Mac and then drag them to the iPhoto window, or use the File -> Add to Library command
As for how to connect the phone and the Mac, for that you'll need to read the manual for the phone or seek support from a Samsung or Android (that's the operating system) site.
