Video refuses to import at all.

Hello everyone.
I have a strange issue with itunes on my dual G5.
I cannot import video art all, whether it's converted or not using various settings...however, using the same encoded files on my G4 powerbook they will import into itunes.
I have used streamclip to convert and eyeTV's export to ipod option...and quicktime. None of the files i have converted import. It won't import non comverted files either. All play in quicktime.
I have tried dragging and dropping, importing and adding to library....No luck however i try.
Both are Version 7.
All suggestions most welcome.

I'm having the same problem.
Can someone give me a link or some specific instructions on reverting back to iTunes 6?
I tried, and when I re-installed iTunes 6 and tried to open it I got an error message saying it wouldn't open because my library had been created witih a newer version of iTunes. I must have missed something.

ITunes refuses to import mpeg-4 videos

I have a few mpeg-4 video clips on my computer that I want on my ipod. iTunes refuses to import them. I've tried file>add folder to library, file>add file to library and attempting to add them individually, I've tried dragging and dropping, again as a group and individually.
All methods give the same result: a dialog window with the progress bar. It scrolls through the names quickly, the progress bar gets to less than 10% before the dialog box disappears and there are no new videos in itunes at all.
How do I fix this?

Sounds like you've got a setting wrong . . . Videodora is temperamental at best, you may want to go to iLounge go through the step by step tutorial they've got up.
Good luck!

Help!- iTunes reinstalls and refuses to import video

Starting several weeks ago, iTunes has refused to import any videos I've converted myself. I've tried drag-and-drop as well as Add file to library, but they never appear in the library. This has never happened in the past and all other converted videos have imported successfully.
Also, whenever I click on any iTunes icon (desktop, start menu, programs menu), iTunes always appears to re-install itself (configuring iTunes or something). I've tried reinstalling several times, but to no avail.
Anybody have any clue on how to fix this?
I run Windows Vista on a Compaq Presario SR2173WM PC.

that sounds like the itunes setup assistant is running whenever you try to launch itunes.
that can sometimes be caused by damaged itunes preferences files. so perhaps try the "Remove iTunes preference files" section from the user-account-specific troubleshooting section of the following document:

When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees. It makes a difference depending how I hold the iPhone when taking videos. Help!!!

Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this. I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

Then new version of IMovie imported nearly all of my video and then suddenly closed. Now it won't recognize the video that it stil hasn't imported? I took the sd card out of the canon camcorder but still won't recognize or import it. Is there a cache that needs cleared?

Did you get any joy with answering this?
My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?

How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?
I have already created and shared one movie project from the clips and from photos but now want to make another. However, when i go to the library it only shows me the content of the first project, including the photos, not all of the video clips i originally imported. I can't believe that I need to import them all again.

It seems to me that you must have imported your clips using iMovie 9, (that's why they are all in the Events folder which belongs to iMovie 9). Then you must have upgraded your current project to iMovie 10 which will have put the clips used in that project (but not all the others) into your iMovie 10 library. iMovie 10 has a totally different storage arrangement for media. You should be able to update your other iMovie 9 projects by choosing File > Update Projects and Events in iMovie 10. See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/mov902ad0c31
This does not stop you from continuing to use the projects in iMovie 9 though any further editing you do will not be transferred to the other version of iMovie.

I have lost track of the number of websites that do not work properly on the iPad without Adobe Flash player which is unsupported. I cannot use retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. All are missing tabs, links, info

I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.

Itunes refuses to import some mp3 files.

Hi,
Can someone please advise. I have an album of MP3 tracks. For some reason Itunes refuses to import all but 2 of the songs on the ablum. I have the files on the hard drive in my music folder which should be auto sync to Itunes. This does not happen with these mp3's. Also if I try to do it manually nothing happens. Any suggestions?
P.s I am using the latest version of Itunes and the MP3's play fine with media player etc.

Yeah, what stubchain said. If they play in WMP, then you've run into the bug where iTUnes can't read the MP3 tags.
iTunes has problems with v2.4 ID3 tags.
http://www.id3.org/iTunes
iTunes also has a problem with v2.2 tags and artwork/beats per minutes tags on the same song.
Try setting them to v1 in another program and then see if iTunes can read them.
Then once iTnues can read tehm, I would convert them to v2.3 tags, which seem to be the most stable & have the best features.

HD clips have video stutter after import

New problem with Sony HDR-SR5 import:
2 of 10 clips from recent vacation have video stutter/jerkiness upon import. All other clips are fine. The two clips that stutter in iMovie 08 play fine on the videocamera. I have never seen this before. I have reimported the abnormal clips, but no change. The audio is okay; it is just the video Any ideas?
Mark

*How comforting* ( for me alas ) to find I'm not alone with this problem.
Config: iMac-Intel - 2,16MHz, 1Go RAM, 320Go internal drive, 500Go USB external drive, OS-X 10,4,11 ( Tiger ) IMovie 7,1,1, SONY HDR-SR5E
My first few imports worked fine, then Imovie started to quit and 2 other movie sequences were corrupted ( stuttering image ) no matter how long they lasted or which HDD I decided to store them to.
Apparently other posters have signaled this to Apple, but that unfortunately does not help us getting on with our respective work.
It would seem there are only 2 solutions while we wait -
FCE = hand in wallet, or
Just copy the files from the SONY directly to a HDD location and wait for the Imovie issue to be solved.
Maybe unplug my Firewire Presonus Firebox ?????
All futher comments and possible work-arounds welcome naturally.

24 minute video did not import

this and another video did not import. all the regular photos did.
video from another camera imported a video earlier so I know its working.
did not get any error message that the file was too big, etc.
Ideas as to why the videos did not import? File too big? If so, how to fix?
The videos are on a card on a Nikon Coolpix camera.

thx. most videos taken are 1-3 minutes. One of the kids cranked out a long video and no one knew what to do about it. Never knew about image capture. Thx for the help. All the vids downloaded fine as you instructed.

Why won't my video won't import into iMovie. There is a red ERROR message underneath clip.

I just imported 40 out of 43 clips of HD video from my JVC HD Everio camera into iMovie '11. It's my first time using either equipment for editing. I selected import all but only 40 of the clips successfully imported. 3 of the clips were not able to be imported but I can still play the clips fine from the import window. The clips all have red error messages underneath them. This is an issue that I've seen posted other places online but it doesn't seem to be resolved. It's very frustrating for me, I've been researching online to try to fix this for hours now. The closest I have come to a solution involved deleting extra 3rd party plugins from my quicktime folder however I don't have a folder named "Quicktime" in my Library. So I don't know what to do. Please help!

The error message appears under video clips already imported into iMovie. Like in this screenshot http://km.support.apple.com/resources/sites/APPLE/content/live/VIDEOS/0/VI57/en_ US/imovie-start-poster.jpg on my mac out of the 6 clips shown per row, only 5 of them have the word "imported" underneath them in white letters and then one of the clips has the word "error" underneath it.
I don't think it's a corrupted file because yeah I can play the three clips just fine. The page that I read that had that fix in it (deleted plugins) was here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1893021?start=0&tstart=0 The correct answer is near the bottom of the page and was posted by iphonejunky. Maybe the fix would be that simple but like I said, I can't find a folder named quicktime in my library. I don't know if I'm just stupid or what.
I don't think I have Flip4Mac installed because I never consciously installed it. I use VLC for playing most video. The clips imported are all .mov

Thumbnails do not match video content when imported

My thumbnails do not match video content when imported. They assume the look of the first video imported into an event, while showing correct source content when skimmed through. Also, audio for every video clip I import is changed to that of the first clip imported in an event. Very awful to realize only when you've just imported every video you've made. Any thoughts?
Also, my source for clips is an external OneTouch drive, don't know if that plays into the import problem.

Is your Event source list visible on the bottom left of your screen? You should see all your events there.
There is a button at the extreme lower left of the imovie window which allows you to show or hide the event list. Make sure that it is in show position, so you can navigate to your other events.

ITunes refuse to import music etc

First, i tried to import a song that I wanted, and iTunes refuse to import it.
At first, i thought i was alright and i synced, it synced DOUBLE of ALL the music.
Tried to remove and failed, checked the "Sync only checked music", doesn't work.
When i go over to the music tab, there is only Sync music, if not its Selected Playlist etc. How do we actually choose what music we want to sync? How do i solve the problem of iTunes not importing my music?

I am having the a very similar problem.
iTunes will not sync music to any of my devices since 8.0.2
I also use the option "sync only checked songs".

IMovie refuses to import an archive after I stopped the first attempt!

Greetings,
I imported an archive to iMovie, and in the middle of the import, accidentally stopped the process.
I figured I would start from scratch, so I deleted the clips that had been imported and started again.
Now, however, iMovie thinks it already has the first clips (even though they're in the trash), and refuses to import them anew.
I still have the original footage in the camera and tried to import from that - NADA!
There is no longer an "import all" option available when I point iMovie to this source material. And if I select the fist clips and tell it to import, it just keeps going back to the later clips it thinks I want.
How do I tell iMovie to import all my footage?
I threw out preferences and caches - still, no joy.
Thanks!

I would try emptying the trash.

Video didn't import - has vanished

I recently got the ADVC-55 to convert analogue signal to digital or whatever, so I can transfer my VHS tapes to the iMac. It's been working fine, and today I was going to transfer a 4 and a half hour video.
It was all importing fine, like normal - I even ran a test (created an event, imported for a couple of seconds, clicked "Stop" and the video imported into the event, as normal) - the video finished, so I pushed the "Stop" button again and...nothing. Usually it imports it all automatically after I hit the stop button. But it just stopped. I closed the capture window, and theres no video anywhere. I set it to import the video into the same event as the test video - the test video is there (still 2 seconds long), but the new video is no where.
I figured it had just ****** up and that was it, but looking at the finder it says I know have 33gb available, whereas I had 90+gb before I started importing. 60gb is about what I expected the video to take up, so it must be SOMEWHERE, right?
The test video (and all other imports/captures) saved as "clip-17.... .dv" with the numbers being todays date, but i've searched my hard drive for "clip" and looked at all the recent results, but theres definitely none over 60gb, or even over 1mb. They're like temp files or something, just 10kb.
I can't find the video anywhere, no thumbnails were created - its just...no where.
Any ideas?

Ok, sorry about this, feel free to delete this - I still don't know why it happened, but I kept looking and eventually found the 4 hour video in the trash.
Problem solved.
