Video Play-Back in iPhoto '08 on external drive

I have my iPhoto library on an external drive to save space on my iMac hard-drive, but when I import video (directly from a card reader) into the iPhoto library, it will not play.  I used to be able to do this, but since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, it won't work.  What is happening?  Is this a known bug?  Is there a fix?

Do a custom install with the Snow Leopard disk and select just Quicktime Player 7 to install.

  • How to back up iPhoto library to external drive

    I have purchased a seagate external drive to back up my iphoto library.  I currently use Time Machine but want to have my pictures in another place just incase of drive failures.
    Wen doing the following User>Pictures I try to drag iphoto library onto my desktop Seagate drive icon.  Nothing happens.  The files do not copy onto the external drive.
    Can anyone help with what

    It should not be a problem. How is the drive formatted?
    Select the Drive in Finder, then Get Info (cmd-i).
    You'll see the format in the General section:

  • Backing up iphoto running from external drive

    After transferring the iphoto library to a second external drive (other than the one being used to backup the internal drive with Time Machine), is there a way to backup the second drive with Time Machine while still continuing to backup the internal drive? To clarify, I would be running iphoto off of an external drive to free up space on the internal drive but since Time Machine is backing up my internal drive how do I now get it to also back up iphoto since it is now running off of the external drive?

    That is really a time machine question rather than an iPhoto question
    I found that by default TM was backing up everything - internal drive and two external volumes - I simply went tot he TM preferences and told it not to backup my extrenal volumes which are clones of my internal drive - launch TM and look at that it shows - I think you will find it is backing up your external drives

  • Iphone 5 video, not smooth when played back in iPhoto?

    Why are my videos all 'stop start' when played back in iphoto? Is it something to do with the size of the file it seems to be happening on video shot on 1920 x 1080 which is when I got my iphone. Are hey going to be ok when i place them in imovie?

    Sorry, maybe I don't understand or I didn't explain my problem properly.
    (I'm doing this project as a hobby so can't really afford external resources)
    The demo involves filming industrial equipment, which is being monitored by a PC.
    As the equipment runs, graphs and results are produced on the PC.
    I managed to capture this, but when importing it into FCP AND playing it back, the picture is not clear. but when I forward frame by frame, each frame is nice and very sharp.
    Could it be frame rates or?
    I've seen many educational videos that show computer screen shots and I am prepared to pay for software that captures these shots, if that would help.
    I don't really know how a "scan" would work.
    Or maybe I'm dreaming that I can do this relatively easy.
    Thanks for your answer.

  • Can photos be transferred back and forth from/to iPhoto and an external drive? If so, how?

    Can photos be transferred back and forth from/to iPhoto and an external drive? If so, how?

    When in iPhoto for iOS you can share your photo to iTunes and then connect your iPad to your computer and use the file sharing window to move the photo to any connected hard disk. Sharing to iTunes is the only way to maintain original file size when sharing a photo in iPhoto for iOS.

  • Is it possible to change brightness in video play back?

    Is it possible to change brightness in video play back, without having to go to settings?
    If not, then who agrees this should be possible?
    I’m sure most iphone users have the stock brightness setting set to low to save battery power, but it’s very irritating when you go to watch a video in bright lighting conditions and in order to see it properly you have to go back out and change it.
    I am not computer programmer, but I’m sure it would be possible to have a slider (just like the volume) and could be introduced in a update.
    I think it would improve the overall iphone experience just that little bit more.
    What do you think?

    All Help > System Info does is to report your system specifications so you can copy and paste them in the forums for troubleshooting purposes.
    You can choose what to highlight and copy, but it does not change anything in your system like editing a configuration file would.

  • Hello. I keep my IPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled). Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Howtoresolve?

    Hello. I keep my iPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) and both check out when scanned with Disk Utility. Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Any ideas how to  resolve? Also, what's the maximum recommended size for an iPhoto library file? Thx!

    Since you can't drag the library to the other EHD for the backup see if you can duplicate it (if you have enough room on the drive) by selecting it and typing Command+d (duplicate). 
    If you do rebuild the library without a backup and it goes awry you won't lose your photos but you may lose your orgnaizational efforts. So try the following:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library in the location of your choosing  based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    NOTE:  Fix 2 above might be the method you might want to try first with iPLM creating the new library on your second EHD. If it works that would get your backup copy on the second EHD at the same time as repairing it. If it does'nt work then go back to Fix 1.

  • Webcam video plays back super fast speed

    hi, does anyone know about this: when i record video from my creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro, the play back is like twice the speed of real life. like a video speeded up. it was working fine on my previous computer, which was windos xp, and i upgraded to a newer computer with windows vista 64 bit, and now the video play back is too fast. i also tried viewing the video on other viewers like windows media and VLC, still too fast.

    Hi David, 
    I think we may be able to say more if you can tell us more about the rest of your code. What sort of structures are you using, and where are you dropping your AVI Capture code in? Is the video sped up on your front panel or when you play the resulting file?
    You should post the larger piece of code if possible. 
    Cheers,

  • Captured video plays back fast (sped up) in Final Cut Express 4

    I had a Panasonic mini-dv digital camera that was stolen and it worked great with FCE. I purchased a JVC GR-D870 (mini-dv) as a replacement and now in FCE when I capture video it plays back fast in the Viewer and if I open the .mov file in Quicktime. Note that the video plays back at the correct speed when played from the camera, and when the video is being captured. I've tried changing my Easy Setup, but nothing has helped much. I'm currently using the DV-NTSC FireWire Basic setting, though it doesn't matter which one I chose. I did try using the 25.00 fps DV-PAL setting and interestingly it will capture for about 2 seconds and then crash, but the 2 second clip I'm left with seems to playback at the normal speed. This is an NTSC camera so not sure how to get the video that I capture to play at the correct speed (frame rate?). Any help would be most appreciated.

    Never heard this one before!
    I have no idea why it is playing back fast, but if you have an NTSC camera you must use an NTSC Easy Setup.
    When FCE behaves strangely the first thing to try is to delete the preferences as described here:-

  • Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

    I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back.  The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing.  I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help.  Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

    Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
    Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

  • Two-fold question, can I export pictures from iphoto to an external drive? I have not been able to create volumes on My Passport for Mac when exporting photos, why is that?

    I have a Mac Book Pro that I use iphoto 6 for my pictures. However, I noticed my hard drive was filling up too rapidly so I purchased a WD My Passport for Mac 500GB. I select photos(the number does not matter), click File>export, and select the location(and yes, I specify the size of picture's maximum, and the file extension, and I click Export and the export initializes and then stops. Telling me that it is unable to create the volumes ont the My Passport. There is plenty of space on the hard drive. I don't know what I am doing wrong. It seems like the process should be very simple to MOVE, COPY, EXPORT photos. Why is this so difficult? What am I doing wrong?

    My photo library cumulative is maybe 1.3 GB tops, however I back it up to the external drive every upload. I don't think the issue is converting calculations because as I said in my previous post, sometimes when I stop transfer to the SD flash drive and restart the copying process it will complete the library of 60-80 photos in about 2 minutes like it should. The issue is that it will not proceed to copy most of the time, and the copying status bar says preparing for a long time
