View video within iPhoto '08

I just upgraded to iLife '08, and when I double click on a short movie clip in my library QuickTime starts but does not play the click (no quicktime window appears). It has been a while, but I believe I was able to play the movie clips from within iPhoto '06.

Where did the movie files come from? Select one of the movie files in the Finder and bring up the info window, Command-i. There set Quicktime Player as the default application and click on the Apply to All button.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't view video in iPhoto

Can't view video in iPhoto on my iMac but I can view it on my iPad! Source of video iPhone, sent to me via email. Appears in iPhoto on my iMac as a blank folder. Using OSX 10.9.5 Maverick. Any ideas? I have the same problem with a voice recording sent to me in the same way.

That's a whole new ball game. Go the System/iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Photos check box.
In iPhoto go to its iCloud preference pane and uncheck all checkboxes.
Reboot, and go back to each preference pane and recheck those boxes. That should jumpstart the Shared Photo Streams.

How to view videos in iPhoto '08

Using iPhoto '08 with latest version for iMac OS X version 10.9.4. Had this problem previously and had to call apple support representative some time ago. It was corrected but has happened again. Don't remember what was changed to correct this issue. I believe I had to install optional package using the Snow Leopard disc. After that, don't remember...Any suggestions before I call Apple Support?

To add, when I do try to Play videos in IPhoto'08, QuicktimePlayer7 opens full screen but will not play content .

Trouble viewing photos within iPhoto '08

I have to say I am fairly new to a mac and the way it manages my photos. For some of my photos in iPhoto, when I go to open and expand them (for editing, for example) there is just a big exclmation mark, I guess this is some type of error. It is obviously having trouble looking to the correct folder on my hard drive to where the photos are stored. My question is, what is the difference between 'Data' and 'Originals' folders when I browse in iPhoto? I don't get it because my photos ARE in those folders, or both, but iPhoto is having trouble showing them in the application. I hope this makes somewhat sense and maybe someone here has had and dealt with a similar issue. This very well (and probably is) user error on my part since I'm still not fully familiar with this application. Thanks.

When you import a pic to iPhoto the app copies the file into the Library - this copy goes into the Originals Folder.
iPhoto also makes a thumbnail for display in the iPhoto Window - to speed up the process of working with the pics. This thumbnail is in the Data folder. The thumbnails are typically less than 50kb in size.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
FYI: Should you want to access you files:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Viewing videos in iPhoto

Just downloaded Snow L. and now I can't simply double click on videos to run in the new Quicktime.
Any suggestions. I have iLife '08. Was I supposed to know that it doesn't work with Snow?
Got tons of video that I can't see.
Sure I can go the long way and view if I launch QT but why go through the hassle when it was so easy before in 10.5?
What up?

Several people have reported this issue and no solution at this time.
Let Apple know:

Trouble viewing videos within iTunes 7.6.1

I click on a movie in iTunes and I hear sound but don't see any video. I then click on an audio recording, stop it, and click a second time on the video file. This time the video appears. Anyone else notice this problem?

If you upgraded Quicktime, and still get the same problem, try this:

I was having the same problem and reinstallind both iTunes and Quiktime wasn't helping.

Viewing only videos in iPhoto

Is there any way to view only video clips within iPhoto library? Instead of having to search through my library for video clips?

Why not make an Album of them, so they are gathered in the one place? When you import a movie it's automatically assigned a keyword. So
File -> New Smart Album
Keyword -> is -> movie

I cannot view video clips in iphoto. quicktime used to open automatically but no longer

I cannot view video clips I created and syncd from my iphone into iphoto. Quicktime used to open automatically. Now it wont for some reason.

If you have iPhoto 8 and Lion then download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later. That should let you view clips in the iPhoto library.

Help viewing video clips in iphoto 08.

I recently downloaded both photos and video clips taken from my iphone 5 and downloaded to my mac OSX 10.6.8 computer (as I have many times before.) I quickly discovered that I can no longer view video clips in the iphoto 08 program as I have always been able to do. Why? Typically, I would double click on video clip and it would play in iphoto.

I can commiserate about the bad disk drive, because I went through that.
The latest version of iMovie is 9.01 (also known as iMovie 11).
About your movies in iPhoto...did iMovie see them before? Were you on iMovie 11 before?
Will they play in iPhoto? If they will play in iPhoto, chances are you can import them into iMovie. Note where they are in iPhoto by using right-click (or control-click)/Reveal in Finder.
In iMovie, use FILE/IMPORT FROM.../ to find that file and import it.
If your laptop is less than three months old, it may have come with iMovie 11. If it is older, it probably had iMovie 09. iMovie 11 came out in late October.
If you were on iMovie 11 before, then reinstalling iMovie should make iPhoto movies visible again, assuming they were not corrupted in some way. When you convert to iMovie 11 it upgrades the thumbnail files (but not the video clips) in such a way that is not backward compatible.

How to view videos in iCloud published iPhoto Journal using web browser?

If I publish an iPhoto Journal containing videos to iCloud and then attempt to view the journal from a web browser e.g. Safari, I see a single image corresponding to each video, but when I select one of them, I get a backwards, play/pause and forwards buttons, but those only control treating the images as a slideshow. I don't see any buttons that correspond to playing the contents of each video. Do I have the incorrect format for the videos (they are .mp4 files created using Handbrake from the original .MOV files which is what my camera creates)?
Here's the URL of the published iPhoto Journal.

Hi Stavros0203,
When restoring your entire system from a Time Machine backup, it is restored to the state it was when that backup was made. See this article for reference -

No permission to view video in shared iPhoto library

Hello. First time posting on the apple forum. I have set up our macbook pro such that from both of our accounts we share the same iPhoto library in a public/shared folder. We are using iPhoto '09. We are not having any problems sharing the photos. However, when we download our iPhone4 videos to iPhoto, we cannot view each other's videos. We keep getting the error "You do not have permission to view this video". I found the actual video files and made sure the permissions are set to everyone "read and write" yet it still doesn't allow us to see each other's videos in quicktime. Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I rebuilt the iPhoto library's permissions which allowed my wife to view my videos from her user account. I still could not view hers until through her user account I rebuilt the iPhoto library's permissions again. This then let me view her videos and she could still view mine. So that was very helpful. However, any new videos that I add still run into the same problem. Videos I upload from my phone cannot be viewed from her user account. Please advise
I have the iPhoto library under my user account, in the dropbox of the public folder. Permissions on the Public folder and the Dropbox folder and the iPhoto library all say me, my wife and everybody is read and write permissions. iPhoto in both my and my wife's user accounts point to the same iPhoto library. Do I need to move the library to the "Shared" user account? Are their permissions that need to be changed on my iPhone or through iTunes?
Really appreciate your help.
Thanks

IPhoto 08 and quicktime viewing video

I found a link about installing quick time for leopard to get videos to work: see below
This discussion is archived
can't view videos after Snow Leopard/QuickTime X upgrade
QuickTime 7.6.6_snowleopard shows up as an icon on my desktop, but won't install. It says to look in the app store or in the computer. Any hints on what program to use to open it?
Thought about trying disk utility but now worried about erasing all the contents of the disk. Photos and videos stored on a LaCie hard drive.
This is the first time a software update has not automatically installed.
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
No - as you have observed iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '09 use a different library structure and neither can read the others library - iPhoto '09 can convert '08 libraries to '09 but it is (as you are warned when you do it) a one way process - if you want to share a library all versions of iPhoto must be the same so you would need to purchase iLife '09 for the mini
