Videos on MacBook Pro

When I open iMovie 09 I have a few problems, so thought I would ask for some assistance (from the experts).
While I login and imovie VIDEOs is selected under Library I am waiting for the current project to load I get a 1-5 minute beachball with pop ups searching for a file, which is no longer on the Mac. I already threw out the com.apple.iMovie8.plist from the pref's folder, quit both programs and did a restart. Any other suggestions?
Another Q is when I am viewing my videos in iMovie 09 under EVENT LIBRARY is there a way to organize ALL video's that are located in iPhoto? I am trying to save them in one folder but for some reason I can't show the ones in my specific folder (shortcut to external hard drive). Anyone know how to get them showing in the list of libraries?
Thank you!

Uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new.
Uninstall > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall first before reinstalling.
You may need to temporarily disable anti virus software (if installed).
Reinstall here > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=JZEFT
Then open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Quit and relaunch your browser. Try a video.

Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

How to download youtube videos on Macbook Pro

how to download youtube videos on Macbook Pro?

If I told you how, I'd also have to get rid of this thread. We can't discuss how to circumvent copyright restrictions, and many Youtube videos have just that.

Transfer video from macbook pro to iPhone iOS 8

how to transfer video from macbook pro to iphone 5S IOS 8, anyone?

Hi hjmdsalleh,
You typically use iTunes to sync your content to your iPhone.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
If you are having problems syncing some videos, they may not be in the correct format.
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
Take care,

DVI to Component video w/ MacBook Pro and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M card...

I just got a new MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M video card. On the NVIDIA website for the card, it states:
"Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output (Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i/1080p resolution".
I have a Sony HDTV that only has component video (Y Pr Pb) inputs (the red/green/blue inputs). It is capable of HD up to 1080i.
If the NVIDIA card does output an analog TV (Component) signal, it should work. However, when I went to the place that sells the DVI-to-Component adapter, I got some bad news:
See it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E8V0YI/ref=pdluc_sbs_0202
I wrote a question to the Sewell folks about this product and asked this:
Will this work with the dual link DVI-I port on my macbook pro? Graphics card info: Nvidia 8600 GT 256MB of GDDR3 memory Here is the link to the card's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8600.html
They answered:
Unfortunately this will not work. While the GPU may support the function, the Mac Version of the cards do not implement the component signal.
I think they are still thinking about the older MacBooks that use the ATI chipset and don't know about the new NVIDIA cards.
Is component really not implemented in the new MacBook Pros?
I have the 17" model that has more VRAM than the 15" and I got the HD screen upgrade.
Does anyone know any solution that will work with the MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA chipset? As I said, I'm trying to output an HD signal from the DVI port on the MacBook Pro to component video input on my HD television.
Thanks for the help.

Sorry, the website for the Sewell adapter is here:

What is the best way to make and organize home videos? Macbook Pro? iPad?

I have a Sony Handycam HD camcorder and a macbook pro. Right now, I'm creating home videos by dumping all raw video into iMovie, adding a date/time stamp and saving the video to an external hard drive. Is this the best way for me to create and store these home videos with my current setup? I also take some video with my iPhone and include them in the iMovie projects as well. I want these videos to be around for a long time and I'm afraid I'm going to lose them since I've graduated from DVDs to actual .mov files.
With that said, I would like to find a more streamlined approach. Idealy, I would love to replace my macbook pro with an iPad and use the iMovie app to process all of my home videos and then save to iCloud or an external hard drive. Is this possible?

Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

Video Lagging/Choppy videos on Macbook Pro

Hello,
I am having a problem while watching videos online: video lagging/choppy videos. Sometimes the video is stuck in a certain frame although I still have the sound on the background; sometimes the video slows down completely (frame+sound). It started around one month ago, and exists in several different websites, I couldn`t solve it by myself. I am not very good with computers. I tried to uninstall/reinstall flash player, as well as disable hardware acceleration, and the problem is still there. Also somedays the videos are working fine, and somedays they are all bad independent of websites. I tried to use different browsers (chrome/firefox/safari), but the problem persists.
I am using a Macbook Pro and bought it in the beginning of January this year (right now it is running OS X 10.7.4) with flash player version 11.2.202.235.
I would very much appreciate if you can help me.
Thanks.

mellskucukoglu, uninstall all adobe products then install Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Adobe Air, Adobe Shockwave Player. Make sure to select the operating system correctly behind the link. Turn off your antivirus till you finish installation as suggested below the webpage. If it still doesn't work check for OS X 10.7.4 updates.
If it still doesn't work then go for Adobe Live chat in this link http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html . Sometimes they are busy. If they can't help. Think about any changes that you made before this issue like installaling any new apps. Uninstall them. If it still doesn't work then install Adobe Flash Professional CS 6. After installing check for adobe updates and update them all. It should work at this point. If not ,watch this

Trouble playing any videos on Macbook Pro

So 2 months back, my macbook pro is having trouble playing any type of flash videos, from youtube, embedded videos, pretty anything with flash. flash player is up to date, i can surf the internet and do my work flawlessly but as soon as i start a video, the mbp starts to slow down and the video starts getting choppy. Not sure what else to do before giving up and going to the apple store. I've shut it down and restarted it still having issues. any help would be appreciated! Running OS X 10.8.2

I have been having these same problems. Currently, playing YouTube videos in HD, is not viewable, so I have to watch videos in 240p (gross). My thought is that YouTube has shut down some of the servers in order to push some kind of update. My advice, just wait out the storm and see what happens over the next few days. If the issue is still not fixed, I would suggest contacting Google. In the meantime, you could try and reinstall Flash Player, or change browsers, but from my experience, none of that worked.
Best of luck!

You-Tube Videos on Macbook Pro

Suddenly I have a problem when viewing You-Tube-Videos. They keep breaking up on my Macbook pro. I never had this problem before. My browser is Safari. Any suggestions?

The Flash plug-in failure on Lion, is a Safari issue that can be fixed with these steps:
My Flash Player plug-in would not play videos on YouTube (using Safari in Lion). It turned out that my Safari settings needed to be reset after the recent Lion 10.7.4 and Flash upgrades. I called Apple tech...
This is what we did to fix it:
1. Open Safari.
2. Go to top left menu, under "Safari" click on "Reset Safari."
3. UNCHECK the first two boxes, leave the next three checked, plus UNCHECK the next two, and keep the last three checked.
4. Hit "Reset"
5. After the reset finishes, Safari will relaunch and you can test Flash by going to YouTube to see that videos will now play.
Thanks Apple Care!

For Video/Audio: Macbook Pro (2009-17" 2.66Ghz i7) vs. Macbook Pro (Current 2011-15" 2.4Ghz i7))

So I currently have a MacbookPro 6,1 - I believe a late 2009 model, 17" 2.66Ghz i7 Dual-Core Processor, 8gb Ram (updated), NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. I started doing video and even noticed this when I normally do my audio work - that my video doesn't look like it should (noticed when a client looked at my computer screen and noticed that colors, brightness was off and extra grainy as compared to other computers he has seen his work on. I also noticed I sometimes get a lag when playing video causing me to have sync issues (off by a couple frames or so -- which completely ***** when I'm trying to do my job right).
So I found a sweet deal on the newer Macbook Pros. Seller told me it retails for around $2400 so I'm assuming it's the Quad-Core 2.4Ghz 15" with some minor upgrades. Let's just say it's this particular model - am I better off selling my older model for this one? I would just hate to part with my 17" although it would help take off some travel weight.
I'm not good with specs which is why I'm here, but apple store says it has:
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 1GB GDDR5
And I think that might help solve my problems, on top of the Quad-Core addition which I believe my current macbook6,1 doesn't have right?
Thanks!

Thanks. At this point, portability isn't that important which is why I'm thinking of the upgrade. How do you figure that the iMac is better. The specs on my MBP are still superior with the i7 at 2.5GHz vs the iMacs i5 at 3.5GHz.... hm.. isn't the i7 faster than the i5?
Not in this case. The iMac has a "Haswell' CPU whereas the MBP has a 'Sandy Bridge' CPU, two different generations of processors. To graphically illustrate the performance differences between the two options look at the respective machines in this link:
https://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks
Note that the iMac registers a score of 3893 vs the MBP score of 2700. In real world terms, differences of a couple of hundred points often is inconsequential, but here we are dealing with a very significant difference of over a thousand points.
If portability is not a requirement and the bank account is fat, the iMac is by far the better choice. A larger and better display combined with much superior CPU and GPU.
Ciao.

Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers. For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime. They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer. I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong? They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats. Only video.

hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format. The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's. I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software? That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked! I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

Playing video from MacBook Pro to TV (Like iPod)

Hi, I have an iPod Video, with the cables that I can plug from the 3.5mm jack to the a/v ports on my tv and play video on my iPod...
I'm just wondering if there's anyway to just use this cable to plug from my MacBook Pro straight to my TV a/v ports and play the video, instead of having to import them to my iPod first...
They are MP4's and already in iTunes, I COULD just upload them to my ipod but i'd like to know if it's possible to just go straight from the computer.
Cheers..

i gave up on the apple ones, for me they weren't comfy, didn't sound good, kept falling out when i ran, were easily damaged if the volume was too high, and leaked sound like crazy which is annoying to everyone around
really not apple's finest piece of design
instead i now use some sony in-ear ones, mdr-ex71, it took a few days to get used to the fit but they have much better sound quality, are more comfortable, don't fall out, let enough outside noise in to be safe in the street, and don't leak sound - in fact when i wear them i'm sometimes annoyed by the sound leaking from someone else wearing apple's crappy earbuds!

Streaming video from Macbook Pro to 46 inch LCD

I am trying to stream video from my 13 inch Macbook Pro to my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV. I am using a HDMI cable to a DVI cable to attach the computer. When I play videos from iTunes, the picture looks great, however when I am streaming video from an internet site such as Netflix, the picture is not great (it almost looks pixilated). I am wondering, is this an issue with my computer (video card, etc) or does it have to do with my internet connection (I currently have the lower DSL connection)? Is there any other way to make the picture look better? Thanks for your help.

Yes, forget streaming that way, .....the ANSWER youre looking for is the APP BEAMER
you cannot stream youtube, rather ON COMPUTER video and movie files.
free trial to test it
