Videos will not open in iPhoto

My 2008 videos imported and previousely played in iPhoto will not play.  A window drops down saying "A necessary data reference could not be found."  Any answers??

When you installed Snow Leopard you did not install Quicktime Player 7 which is needed to play the videos. Put in the SL install disk and select a custom installation.  There you will be able to select Quicktime Player 7 to install.  It will be placed in your Applications/Utilities folder.  Then you will be able to play those video files from iPhoto 09.

  • In OSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.2.  Many videos will not open in Safari

    I am running OSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.2.  Many videos will not open on Safari but open on Chrome. I have enabled javascript in Safari Preferences. I get a javascript void message when copying the link of the non-working videos. In one discussion about javascript problems in Mountain Lion a Java Preferences Ap in Utilities was used to fix the problem.  I do not have a Java Preferences Ap in Applications\Utilities. I am stuck.

    I am having a similar issue, except mine is with a military site. The military sites use java althroughout for downloading files/image. The problem is that it never gives me the notice to enable java for these sites.
    I would like to have the ability to manually tell safari to allow java on a particular site so this isn't an issue.
    This would solve my issue and allow a way to activate java on sites that don't give you the option to allow it.

  • "lost" album will not open in iPhoto

    A couple weeks ago I opened iPhoto and received the message that my photo album could not be found. I created a new album so that I could upload my photos and then located my original album in the Pictures folder. I had not moved it or renamed it. I can still open all of these photos in Preview, but they will not open in iPhoto. How can I move this album back to iPhoto?
    This may or may not be related, but around the same time a Dreamweaver .xml file (an application I have never used) appeared on my desktop, entitled "Album Data".

    "AlbumData.xml" is the name of a file created by iPhoto as part of the structure of an iPhoto Library folder. If you have only one iPhoto Library inside your Pictures folder, and it stopped opening normally at about the same time the AlbumData.xml file appeared on your desktop, then it's likely that the file's removal from the iPhoto Library folder (which you or someone else may have done accidentally) has caused the iPhoto problem.
    Look inside the iPhoto Library folder that doesn't open normally when you start iPhoto, and if there is no AlbumData.xml file inside it, drag the one from your desktop into that folder. Then try opening iPhoto, and post back with the results.

    Go to settings: general: reset... That did it! Cheers.

  • Downloaded videos will not open and play

    downloaded videos will not open and play, both HD and SD.

    Try VLC Media Player.  It has a reputation for playing just about anything you throw at it.

  • Iphoto will not open my iPhoto library......have tried everything.  This has only happened in the last week.

    Iphoto will not open my iPhoto library......have tried everything.  This has only happened in the last week.
    I have tried everthing suggested on the forum.

    Did you follow these directions?
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Some photos will not open in Iphoto

    Since updating to Mountain Lion, I find a few thumbnails will not open for edit or export in Iphoto.  I just get an icon and a message that the original is missing or corrupt. What can I do?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Iphoto will not open my iphoto library

    Hello, this is my first question.  I have OS X 10.8.2, iphoto 9.4.1.  When I open iphoto, it asks what library I want to use.  I want to select "other library".  I see an iphoto library 2, but when I click on the open button, nothing happens.  I have tried opening the iphoto library while holding down the control and command keys, but I do not get an option to rebuild the library like was stated on one of the posts here.
    Thanks

    If you really cannot get iPhoto to recognize the Photo Library, try to rebuild using iPhoto Library Manager:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This rcent post by Terence Devlin explains what this will do:

  • Videos will not play in iPhoto?

    Videos downloaded to iPhoto from my camera, iPod, iPhone will not play?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what happens when you try to play the video?
    will the videos play outside of iPhoto?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Videos will not open--adobe flashplayer 11 installed

    I have installed adobe flashplayer 11, but cannot open any videos---It is installed & in my programs--help!!

    I have basically the same problem, videos won't open(a green screen appears) and the browser crashes. I'm using win7 and opera or windows 10. I tried the release version of the player and the beta version with no difference. Everything was fine until yesterday(25th). I noticed that AdobeAir was updated on the 25th and deleted it but no change.

  • Fascinate video will not load into iphoto on macbook

    my mp4 video opens in quicktime player.  I "saved as" in quicktime to a .mov file.
    neither the mp4 or the .mov file will load into iphoto.
    iphoto error message says, "could not be imported, unrecognizable format."
    I tried a new SD card and new video file, no help.

    You said that the quicktime video was in the .mp4 format and the saved as a .mov format. I'm not sure but if you are trying to get them into iphoto is iphoto looking for a .jpg format?

  • Photo will not open in iPhoto even though I have thumbnails.

    Screen goes blank with a large '!' in it...... Can not get file to open at all
    Can anyone help

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

  • Premiere Elements 8 - Edited video will not open

    Hoping I can get some assistance from the gurus here!  I have recently completed editing a video and uploaded to the video to the Adobe online sharing site.  Problem is I cannot access it from the online site, nor will it load/display when I attempt to open from Premiere Elements.  Trying not to panic; any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Just to make sure that I am following you, you have completed the editing on a Project in PrE 8, and then did a Share to your account on Adobe.Com. For some reason, that file is not displaying on your Adobe.Com account, or at least you cannot get to it Is that correct?
    Back in the original Project, can you do another Export/Share to another output AV file?
    As I have never used the personal Adobe.Com site, I cannot be of any help to you there, but others know the processes and mechanics, and will likely be able to assist.
    Good luck,
