Video problem with movies that previously played okay

I transfer movies on and off my Touch to open up space. I previously copied a dvd using toast Titanium 8 to my touch which played fine. I then deleted it to make space. When I tried to transfer the movie back to the Touch a few days later it wouldn't copy, giving me the message "the video is not the right format..." etc.
Why would it copy over one time and not another.
Any help would be appreciated. I seem to find this to be a recurring problem with some files, even though they have been converted to iPod compatible files with Toast, which are the .mp4 variety. Same thing has happened occasionaly with iSquint.
Cheers

Probably because the iTunes file has an embedded Digital Rights Management certificate which prevents unauthorised publishing of copyright music to web sites such as Youtube.

YouTube videos that previously played no longer supported

My 2-year olds beloved youtube video is "no longer supported on iPad". He would watch this video to bits, but as of this morning I get the pop-up that this video is no longer supported for playing on iPad. (or my iphone, triedit there too). I understand from googling, that some videos won't play because they have not been supported for iPad/iPhone yet, but videos that previously played fine??? I tested my toddlers other fav videos, and it is only the video in question that is affected. What gives?

That link doesn't work, however, looking up the movie "Banana (complete video!)" on youTube using on my iMac I get the message:
This video contains content from NBC Universal, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.
Sorry about that.
When trying to see this video on the youTube App on the iPad I just get the dialog "Could not load movie". iPad Safari just transfers this URL to the youTube App with the same result.
There are other youTube versions of this movie around (at least until NBC Universal learns about them and blocks them as well).
I suppose the youTube App could be a little more informative as to why it can't display the movie.

Video Problems with 7.0.1

Just as with iTunes 7 I am having video problems galore. I can play all the music videos and TV shows that I currently have in my iTunes library via QuickTime. However, if I attempt to go and browse either music videos or TV shows, iTunes comes to a dead halt and I cannot even close the iTunes program without utilizing ALT, CTRL, DEL. My computer is "authorized" as I have no problem browsing in music, but if I do get as far as the TV Show home page, I get a message saying that I "CANNOT BROWSE ALBUM COVERS ON THIS COMPUTER." I am really at a loss as to what else to try and would apprecaite any assistance offered. Thanks all.

b noir, here are all the symptoms that I am currently experiencing with 7.0.1:
1. iTunes takes 3-5 minutes to boot-up and will ONLY start if an iPod is attached. Manual opening will not work.
2. Any time that I click on the "TV Shows, Music Video, or Movie" areas of iTunes Music Store the entire iTunes program freezes. I can only exit iTunes at that point by "ALT, CTRL, DEL."
3. When I do attempt to enter the TV Show area, I do eventually get a gray and white sign where the TV Show icons should be and the message says "Unauthorized to browse album covers on this computer." At this point the program is frozen. I should mention that the computer is authorized and I have NO problem browsing, playing, or purchasing music in the iTunes Music Store.
4. I have no problem whatsoever playing the music videos and TV Shows that are already a part of my iTunes Library. No issues with QuickTime's playback whatsoever.
5. There is absolutely no problem with the purchasing, playing, or control of my music portion of iTunes. I have no distortions at all and did not have them with 7.0.
6. Many times after updatingmy iPod with new music, changes, or playlists, the window of the iTunes player will say that the update is complete but does not mention anything about the iPod being OK to disconnect. Several times I tried to manually disengage by clicking the release next to the iPod in the source column, only to get a message telling me that iPods files are currently in use. Eventually I can make the disconnect.
7. In general the amount of time that it takes to sync my iPod to iTunes is at least triple what it was with iTunes version 6.
Whew. That's everything. What say ye?

Problem with .MOV

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with .mov files in After Effects. Here is my system:
Windows 7 64 bits
Sabertooth X58
Intel i7 920 @2.67GHz
Nvidia GTX 640
12 GB Corsair DDR3
Adobe CS6
The problem: Some .MOV files I play in After Effect look corrupted:
When I play them, it they make my computer bug until it freezes or shows a Bluescreen. But the files aren't corrupted as they play without problem on VLC (independant from Quicktime). The problem also happens in Premiere and even Quicktime (Quicktime version: 7.7.4 (1680.86)). I can work without problem with some .MOV so I checked the codec of the different files. "Apple PNG" and "Apple Photo JPEG" are making my system crashing. But I can play, work with or export "avc1" without any trouble.
The other day I actually noticed a similar problem in Nuke. I worked with another .mov file (avc1) without any issue but once I tried to render it to a .MOV file (Apple PNG), the rendered files had the same kind of corrupted-looking (lines and sometimes green screen). When I export it in a normal png-sequence there was no problem.
Already tried but didn't solve:
- updating to last graphic drivers
- reinstall Quicktime
- reinstall an older version of Quicktime
- updating DirectX (I already had last version)
- try with or without CUDA in After Effects
- try to load the .mov from another harddisk
- set Quicktime to "Safe mode (gdi)" (doesn't help for After Effects)
- try to convert the file to a png sequence in Quicktime (crashed after rendering a few frames)
Has anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance!

#update 1:
- Tried to convert a ".mp4" file to an ".mov Apple PNG". Then I convert it again to a ".mp4" with Wondershare Video Converter (the errors do not happen with that software). I can be play without problem on VLC that last ".mp4".
- Tried to play an ".avi" file in Quicktime: system crash.
- Tried to preview an ".mov Apple PNG" in half resolution in AE: system crash.
- Tried to export a ".mov Apple PNG" to an ".AVI" and an ".mp4 H264": It exported but the files aren't playable in any soft (including VLC and Wondershare Video Converter). I did the same process to a ".mov Apple PNG", it freeze Windows.

Today I tried to uninstall all Apple softwares, clean the register with CCleaner, delete Apple folders in Appdata (local, locallow, roaming), Flash the bios of my motherboard, reboot and then only reinstall the last version of Quicktime. And I tested all the advanced settings in Quicktime: safe mode (GDI), Directdraw acceleration, Direct3D acceleration. No result... I could play a "avc1 .mov" in Quicktime. That's all.
Last month I formated and reinstalled Windows. Before formatting I had no problem with these files. I didn't change anything in the hardware. So there must be something missing/corrupt in some codecs used by Quicktime or the way Quicktime renders these codecs.
I searched but couldn't get any result for a link to download a Windows version of ApplePNG codec...
Is there anyone who has an idea because I'm really getting stuck..

I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library. What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv?

I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library. What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv? The flipshare library is taking up too much space on my Macbook and I wanted to delete these videos once they were all tranferred to DVDs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Problem with Spaces that started with Snow Leopard

I've noticed two problems with Spaces that have arrived since switching to Snow Leopard... First, if I am in say Space 1 where I use Safari and I then want to move over to an open application, say like Excel, that I have running in Space 4, there are a number of ways to get there but one way I used to use all the time was to move down to the Dock and simply single click on the open Excel application and that would immediately switch me over to Space 4 and whatever Excel documents were already open there... Now, since switching to SL, a single click of whatever application in the Dock makes that application active in the Finder (you see its name appear in the upper left of the menu bar) but otherwise nothing happens... You then have to click a second time and then you switch over to Space 4... It's not really a double click because that implies to clicks closely spaced in time... For this, you can click once, leave the room, come back, click a second time and you will now switch to the alternate space where the open application is running... That is clearly different than it was under Leopard and I would suggest that it is a bug because there is no value in the outcome of that first click... It highlights the switched application but doesn't actually switch to it until you click a second time...
Second, and this one is worse, if you say launch Excel (which you want to open in Space 4) while you are in Space 1, Excel will open and switch over to Space 4... So far so good... But now, with Excel open over in Space 4, if you are now back and working in Space 1 and while there you use the Finder to go to some other, currently unopened, Excel file and request that it open, it should switch over to Space 4 and open that file but instead it opens it wherever you are, in the case mentioned here, in Space 1... So now you have Excel files opened both in Spaces 1 and 4... Clearly a bug... Spaces had some similar issues in a few early versions of Leopard but they eventually got it working... Now it appears Spaces has regressed somewhat in SL... I love spaces and use it all the time... Hope it gets fixed soon... thanks... bob...

Hi... I have since learned that the first paragraph of my original post where I say,
"I've noticed two problems with Spaces that have arrived since switching to Snow Leopard... First, if I am in say Space 1 where I use Safari and I then want to move over to an open application, say like Excel, that I have running in Space 4, there are a number of ways to get there but one way I used to use all the time was to move down to the Dock and simply single click on the open Excel application and that would immediately switch me over to Space 4 and whatever Excel documents were already open there...

That is clearly different than it was under Leopard and I would suggest that it is a bug because there is no value in the outcome of that first click... It highlights the switched application but doesn't actually switch to it until you click a second time... "
...that turned out to be my mistake... In another post someone pointed out that in Spaces preferences you must have checked ON the preference that says,
"When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application"...
I had been playing with a number of things trying to figure out what was going on and somewhere in the mix had switched that off... (It is on on all my other computers and I'm sure it originally was on this one too)... When I switched it back on the above described problem went away... So that was my fault...
But the second part,
"Second, and this one is worse, if you say launch Excel (which you want to open in Space 4) while you are in Space 1, Excel will open and switch over to Space 4... So far so good... But now, with Excel open over in Space 4, if you are now back and working in Space 1 and while there you use the Finder to go to some other, currently unopened, Excel file and request that it open, it should switch over to Space 4 and open that file but instead it opens it wherever you are, in the case mentioned here, in Space 1... So now you have Excel files opened both in Spaces 1 and 4... Clearly a bug... "
...is a real problem... I fired up my G4 (power pc) that runs Leopard, 10.5.8, to see whether it behaves the above way or not and it does NOT... It works as one would expect.. So at least later in Leopard, the above mentioned problem was not present but it is in this first incarnation of Snow Leopard...
To me, the utility of Spaces is all about keeping a single desktop from being cluttered with many open applications/files and to now have an application that opens in whatever space you happen to be in after it is first opened in its "correct" space sort of defeats the idea behind Spaces... I am currently trying to train myself to first hit <command><4> (my Excel space) before opening a second or subsequent Excel document to prevent it from opening somewhere where I don't want it to be...
Again, I hope Apple sees and fixes this... I did submit an "Apple feedback" item for this issue... thanks... bob..

Problem with movies imported from iPad3

Whenever I import footage into imovie, the footage looks good. When I put that footage into a project it stutters.
It doesnt matter if I specify 24fps or 30fps, the movie judders and stutters.
I do not have this problem with movie footage imported from any other device.
Any ideas?

TS3938 I have a problem with the CD player plays some species, others give me this letter no longer supported PowerPC

I have a problem with the CD player plays some species, others give me this letter no longer supported PowerPC

Educational software suffers from having been written many years ago, but the financial market is not such to give the publisher much incentive to update the software.
The problem for you is that Top Notch 2 with ActiveBook was written and released by Pearson back when Macs utilized the PowerPC CPU platform. In 2006, Apple migrated the Macs to Intel CPUs, but released their Operating Systems with an invisible translation program, Rosetta, so that the user could continue to use their existing library of PowerPC applications and take time to update them as needed.
The problem arises in that Apple no longer continues to update Rosetta for inclusion in Lion and now Mountain Lion, so that your CD-ROM cannot be executed on your Lion Mac.
Since Pearson looks unlikely to rewrite and release an Intel version of Top Notch 2, you must find a workaround that will play your CD-ROM and allow you to continue utilizing your ActiveBook.
You do not indicate which model of Mac you are using. If you upgraded it to Lion from Snow Leopard, you have these workarounds:
1. Revert to Snow Leopard
2. Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it. This will allow you to "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you need access to run Top Notch 2. You would then have to "dual-boot" back into Lion when you needed access to those features required by Lion.
If you purchased a new Mac that came with Lion, you only have one workaround available to run Top Notch 2:
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels
[click on image to enlarge]
There is an easier way to run your Top Notch 2 in Parallels if cost is not a significant factor for you. You must purchase Snow Leopard Server from a third party souce, such as eBay, which when sold by Apple was $499 or more. I now see that it can be purchased on eBay for as little as $51. Parallels allows for easy installation of Snow Leopard Server into Parallels.
If cost is a factor, then use the link above the photo to follow my instructions on how to install Snow Leopard client ($19.99 from Apple) into Parallels and achieve the same result.
Lastly, you could purchase a used Mac that will allow Snow Leopard to be the boot OS X installed (wth the optional Rosetta installed). But this seems like an expensive alternative just to run one piece of software; and subject to hardware failure without notice or recourse.

Share a movie that will play on Kodak M820 EasyShare Picture Frame

I've been looking for a way to export a movie that will play on this picture frame, and although the box says it will play MOV, AVI, MPG and a few other formats, in the fine print under troubleshooting it says it might not actually play these formats if they didn't come from a KODAK camera. I've researched all afternoon and found no useful information since my quicktime pro version doesn't have the settings mentioned in other threads all over the web.
I spent way too much on this if it doesn't play movies I can export from imovie 09, or another converter. Any suggestions by the amazing pros? I'm frustrated beyond measure...

I'm making progress. I looked up Kodak Easyshare camera specs for their movies, and made them match. I now have stripes running across the screen, big fat flashing ones, and that is a huge improvement over "file format not supported."
I did Share > Export using Quicktime > Settings : Mpeg-4, 13 fps, limit to 5000 kpbs, no sound, quality Medium, Dimensions 640x480.
Gives a .mov file.
Maybe this gives y'all something to work with.

Problem with JMenus that Persist - Is this a Java bug?

I am having a problem with JMenus that persist. By this I mean
that my drop down menus persist on the screen even after they have
been selected.
I've checked the Java bug database, and the following seems
to come closest to my problem:
Bug ID: 4235188
JPopupMenus and JMenus persist when their JFrame becomes visible
State: Closed, not a bug
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4235188.html
This page says that the matter is closed and is not a bug. The
resolution of this matter printed at the bottom of the page
is completely abstruse to me and I would appreciate any
comments to understand what they are talking about.
The code at the end of my message illustrates my problem.
1. Why should paintComponent() make any difference to
Menu behavior?
2. Is this a bug?
3. What's the workaround if I have to paint() or repaint()?
Thanks
Tony Lin
// Example of Menu Persistence Problem
// Try running this with line 41, paintComponent(), and without line 41

public class P2 extends JPanel {
JMenuItem[] mi;
public P2() {
JFrame thisFrame = new JFrame();
thisFrame.getContentPane().add(this);
JMenu menu = new JMenu("My Menu");
JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
mi = new JMenuItem[4];
for (int i=0; i<mi.length; i++) {
mi[i] = new JMenuItem("Menu Item " + String.valueOf(i));
menu.add(mi);
mb.add(menu);
thisFrame.setJMenuBar(mb);
thisFrame.setSize(400,200);
thisFrame.setLocation(150,200);
thisFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
System.exit(0);
thisFrame.setVisible(true);
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {} //Affects menu behavior!
public static void main(String[] args) {
new P2();

Well, my understanding of the way painting works is that a component doesn't UNPAINT itself. Instead a message is sent to the component under the coordinates of the menu to REPAINT itself.
In your demo program the JFrame is the component under the JMenu. The paintComponent() method of JFrame is empty, so nothing gets repainted.
I added super.paintComponent(g); to the method and everything works fine.

To map the drive on your computer click on Start - RUN - type "\\192.168.1.1" and click ok... When prompted for Username and Password type "admin" and click ok... Now you will be able to see the folder which you have shared on your router, right click on it and select "Map network drive" and click on finish.
Now it will map the drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the file from your computer to the USB drive.

Hi, a too full hard drive can really mess things up.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, , try to clear at least 10 GB of space & empty the trash, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
