What Breaks iPhoto - Comm-Op-Deleting Video From Video Play View

So I've been suffering through iPhoto since it came out. I say "suffering" because it frequently crashes, behaves poorly, uses 95% of one CPU, and corrupts its library. Version after version, from 1 through 11, it's been having issues. It totally corrupted my wife's library on two occasions (luckily after many weeks of work each time, we were able to recover it), and mine as well.
After using iPhoto Library Manager to recreate my wife's library, she stopped having issues (iPhoto's "rebuild" option didn't do the trick). After my corruption got particularly bad, I did the same with mine. It took about 3 days to rebuild, and though it still uses 50-95% of one CPU all the time, I noticed something that was working correctly again.
One of the many problems was that when I rotated a photo from what I'll call the "many photo" view, the photo would disappear completely for about 2 seconds before reappearing rotated. Then, often times clicking it would show the rotated image in the wrong dimensions or such for the first few attempts before sorting itself out about 5-6 seconds later. After rebuilding the library from scratch, this problem disappeared! If you rotate an image from the "many photo" view, it instantly rotated - no disappearing and reappearing.
It also took up 45GB less size after rebuilding.
So everything was great for like 3 days, and then I was watching a video I didn't want to keep in "single photo" view, and so I hit command-option-delete to remove it from my library. It gave me the ERROR BEEP and didn't remove the video. At the top it says 0 of 460. I went to "multiple photo" view and deleted it in the same way there, and it deleted it this time, BUT the rotation issue started up and has stayed with it since.
So that might just be the source of the recurring corruption in the iPhoto Library. I post this in a vain attempt to get the word out to an Apple programmer to finally fix this (and other) eternal iPhoto bugs.
And yes, I've tried all the command-option-launch iPhoto utilities. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this without recreating my library each time with iPhoto Library Manager, I'd be happy to hear it.

this accomplishes nothing since this is streictlhy a user to user volenteer forum as described in the TOU - it is NOT a place Apple monitors for bug reports - to report to Apple iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

The soluiton to this is to fix the iPhoto library and lear how to use iPhoto correctly or to use a different program that you do like - use of iPhoto is not madated

No matter what I do I cant delete itunes from my computer so I can install newest software.

no matter what I do I cant delete itunes from my computer so I can install the newest software?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Feature Request - Ability to prevent videos from auto playing in Browser

This one isn't totally specific to the Classic, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Currently, when visiting sites such as CNN or CTV News in the BlackBerry Browser and you open an article with a video, it will be begin playing automatically. This can be annoying if you're in a library for example as the sound can be disturbing, but most importantly it's a waste of mobile data.
I would like to see a feature added to the Browser's settings that would be able to prevent any videos from automatically playing to prevent such scenarios from occurring.
Solved!

How to move my videos from videos to camera roll?? I can not access them to create a proyect in imovie...

As far as I know, iMovie will recognize only Firewire connected camcorders. If you are connecting with USB, it will never work.
If the memory card is removable, take it out and use a card reader to copy the video to your Mac.
I found this from a topic ………

How do you transfer videos from video roll to camera roll on ipod touch 4g

Keynote on Ipad: how to insert a Video from "Videos"

Hi all,
I just have bought Keynote for iPad as to prepare effective presentations and I am completely blocked: I need to use the videos I have uploaded from my PC into the "Videos" folder (from iTunes), but it seems that Keynote is just able to "see" the media library under "Images folder" (photos & videos).
I am completely halted, since I cannot find event the way to transfer the videos from "Videos" to "Images".
please help!
thanks

Do you see any way to make the videos mapped by Keynote?
Thanks a lot
Hi Guys,
sorry to bother, but... anyone who has an idea on this?

How Can I get rid of a download, it won't stop processing? Even after I have deleted image from videos?

How do I delete a download as it won't stop processing? I have even deleted the image from videos but it is still in my download saying processing. Help?

Hi Sanjampet,
Yes, it was a folder from a website. It was a backup of a website (the website was hacked into at one point if that matters). I kept the backups in a folder on my laptop. I was able to delete the other backups, but this one was giving me an issue for some reason. The other day when I was having this issue and you were trying to help me solve it, it was showing that I only had (about) 158 GB of memory left on my computer, but when I was finally able to delete the folder and all of its content it was showing that I had over 250 GB of memory left. I don't understand how a website's backup folder can be that large :S Was that why I was having so much trouble doing anything with it?
I could drag the entire folder into the trash can, but if I tried to empty the trash it would just do what was showing in the picture from my original post
Thank you so much!

Try restarting your Mac and the phone
Or give Image Capture (in your applications folder) a try - it can delete photos from your phone too

IPhoto won't delete photos from camera after importing. It used to....

Hello...anybody have any thoughts on this issue? I always check the 'delete after importing' option when connecting camera and importing new photos. Recently, the photos have remained on the camera and I have to delete pictures from my camera manually instead of iPhoto doing this. It seems that after I upgraded to OS X 10.5 I noticed this issue. Needless to say if I forget to delete from the camera, iPhoto wants to import the old photos when I have new pics to import. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
We've seen occasional reports of this with 10.5. Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
That said, experienced users do not recommend letting iPhoto delete the pics from your card. If there has been a problem with the transfer you won't know about it until after the erase is complete. It's a couple of seconds work to reformat the card using your camera.

Deleting photos from video ipod

How do you delete photos from your video ipod, if u have accidentally deleted the created "iPod photos" folder (containing all the pictures) from your computer?
I've tried deleting the iPod photo cache from my comp already.

You could try creating a new folder on your PC desktop called something like "empty Ipod". Leave it empty. Then hook your Ipod up and when Itunes opens, go to the "Photos" tab and check the "synch photos from" box. That will enable you to select the "empty ipod" folder option on the drop down menu. Then click on "apply" in the bottom RH corner. That should do the trick. (You can in future synch with the photos you want by putting them in the "empty ipod" folder on your PC and remove them by changing its contents or emptying it. Worked for me anyway.)

IPad Air 2 Deletes Movies from Video App Yet Keeps Space Alotted

My new iPad Air 2 is deleting movies from the video app and leaving the space reserved in "other." When I examine this in iTunes on my Mac, the deleted movies now show their size as "stream" instead of their file size. This is highly annoying as I keep having to format and restore, and it keeps happening and I am losing a ton of space to "other."

I'm experiencing this exact issue on two devices:
iPhone 4S 32GB
iPad Air 64 GB
Both while running iOS 7.03 and 7.04 (recently updated both devices to 7.04 hoping it would help. It didn't)
My iPhone had become nearly unusable until I found your post. It had apparently accumulated >12 GB of "temporary streamed content", as after I did a backup/wipe/restore, I had recovered to around 12 GB free space.
It's unfortunate that the fix requires a complete reset/restore cycle, as it's very time-consuming, but thanks for providing that fix! It saved my iPhone 4S. Now I can comfortable wait until the 6 comes out to get a new iPhone.
Really, though, this seems like a critical bug for iOS devices. I'll certainly not stream any iTunes content until/unless this is fixed. I found that if I turn off "Show all Videos" in the Video App settings, it doesn't show the iTunes cloud content for streaming from within the App. This forces me into iTunes to do a full download if I want to watch something. Kind of a pain, but it beats a device that's maxed out on storage and basically bricked.

Can't import Video from Video Camera

I gave my father in law my old iMac (G4 Flat Panel running OSX 10.3.9 and running iMovie 3.0.3) - and we can't seem to import video from his digital video camera.
The camera is much newer than the iMac - it is a JVC G2-MG330HU digital video camera.
When the camera is plugged in (via USB) to the iMac, the drive on the camera shows up in Finder, but not inside the iMovie program.
If you try to import from iMovie, the camera (and therefore the video clip files on the camera) can not been seen.
Any hints?
Thank you.
Jeremy

Hi there Jermaster
iMovie 3 does not support the camera you have. iM is a Digital Video (DV) editor. Cameras that record to mini DV tape is what is required. IM 3 does not support USB either. You need Firewire. The camera you have is a flash based Hard Drive camera. To get the video off this camera you'll need iM08 or 09.
But it doesn't appear that the computer you have will support either of these versions.

How do I import video from video camera direct to the computer

I have a macbook pro 15inch with retna display. I want to import video from my HDV Video camera. The camera has a HDMI port, and a firewire (squarish port, very small). What can i get to import the video to edit on the laptop.
Thanks
Russell

Frank is right, you can buy from Apple or Best Buy the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Now to your second question. The ports on your camera are similar to mine. I am still working out the HDMI to thunderbolt thing, but the small squarish port is your DV out port. You will need a 4pin to 9pin cable, which I just bought at Radio Shack.. don't get the RocketFish cable from Best Buy, it is BAD!! Trust me, I just spend so much time and money only to find out that for whatever reason, the Rocketfish cable that BestBuy sells is junk. Gigaware at Radio Shack worked INSTANTLY my friend when I fired up iMovie.
Try that and see if that doesn't help.

How do you keep videos from completely playing in a slideshow (like the photos)?

In iPhoto, you can make slideshows to show photos for only 5 or however long of a duration you'd like... but when a video shows up in the show, all the pictures (depending on if you choose certain themes) will stick around on the screen as the video plays (or if the video is the only element in the current slide, also the video will completely play).
My question is.. is there any way to have the videos play for the same duration you set for the photos? Like.. to have everything.. videos AND photos.. to only play for like 5 seconds etc.
I ask this because I want to show a really big album I have at a party with a slideshow, but because of all the video I take, when some videos are a bit longer (say like 2 to 3 mintues), it kinds disrupts the flow of the slideshow (as compared to just showing a short 5 second clip of the video like with the photos only being for 5 seconds as well.
Is this possible, or does anyone know a workaround solution? I'd really like the videos to be in the slideshow too, but just not the whole videos.
We are talking thousands of photos and maybe hundreds of videos, here. Nothing I'd want to edit individually. iPhoto seems perfect for this if it would just only play portions of my video library instead of the whole videos.

No. The videos will play for their entire length. Try trimming the video in iPhoto by playing it and use the gear icon to bring up the Trip feature:
You'll get this window where you can select the portion of the video to use:
When you're done you can "revert to original" like this:
That may give you what you need for the slideshow.
