Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
00117
00117
33.30
Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
FPS29.97
Data Size2.57GB
Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

Be careful, FCP is an open system which is great, but it allows you to work with formats that are not completely compatible with fcp and can cause serious problems down the road. You can check the formats of all audio files brought into fcp by selecting them in the browser and hitting command-9, Use compressor to convert all audio files to 48k 16 bit aiffs before importing to fcp. There's a preset for this format in the apple presets. You mention video files. The same thing holds. In particular, avoid bringing in h264 quicktime movies. Convert to an fcp friendly format like prores using compressor.

You might want to try asking on the MS Office Outlook forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook - since those are Outlook files.

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

It happens when I try to import a file full of videos in premiere pro.. certain files import others do not. The ones that do not will if you import each video individually.
In my case that would take me a week to do. Need a solution.
Im running on a Mac with Premiere Pro CC updated. All malware is erased from computer. Why is it doing this? Premiere pro has been crashing a lot lately on me. Super frustrating!
Somewhere i heard I should verify disk permission and repair them..? I did that and its still a problem.
Computer settings:
OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7

Correction: It was not the footages problem. Only after a matter of time, I was able to import the footage like normal. Seemed to be a momentary problem. Odd and rather frustrating knowing that such problems can just arise at any point in time with relatively no explanation. Oh well!

I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do, It is very frustrating i have all my music from my old PC and a bunch of CD's i cannot import.

I haven't encountered this error, but let's try to figure out a solution.
CDs. Let's tackle this.
First, read this:
http://www.woopid.com/video/626/iTunes-Setup-Assistant
As soon as you insert a CD (assumng you have a drive), iTunes should immediately open and ask if you want to add this to your Library. Say "Yes." (You haven't set the quality levels yet, but we want to set up your library, first.)
Music. If you have individual tracks you want to import, keep iTunes open, and simply drop the tracks in the "Songs" part of the Library on the left side of the screen. The tracks should be added automatically.
If this isn't working for you, please describe the error -- or better yet, provide screenshots. I'm certain you will be able to set up your iTunes library pretty quickly.

When I try to import word files from email it says importing then few seconds later shuts pages app

Peggy, thanks for the try. I think you are on to something about the multitude of sections in the sample document.
I think the many many sections are a result of the formating to make the word document look just like the legal case book (multiple columns of text, special sections, graphical headnotes summaries etc). The doc opens just fine in Word for windows 2000, XP and 2003. Maybe I can request a NON columnar flowing word doc that will be possible to open with Pages 3.
In the meantime, the other good options for these legal document downloads, PDF and HTML are not good options for processing the files with Pages. I sure hope the interoperability of Pages 3 is enhanced soon. I would rather not buy the Office 2008 for the Mac if I could stick with Apple's products.
By the way, do you know...... is there a business, marketing, or technical reason (maybe all 3)) why Text Editor seems to have greater capabilities than Pages 3 (like HTML and similar functions)?
Thanks, Brian

IMovie Crashes When I Try To Import Video Files

When I try to import a video from the desktop to iMovie, it doesn't work. It starts importing but the time remaining is nothing and the progress bar does not fill up at all. Someone please help!

Hi
iMovie is very picky in what Video-Codecs it can work with.
What Codec's Your movies in ?
.mov, .wmv, .mp4 etc are NO CODEC's - but just sort of Container's. Open the video file with QuickTime-player then open Inspector [cmd+I] and read
Video format (Codec) : nnnnnnnnnn
frame rate : yyyyyyyyyy
What does they say ?
Yours Bengt W

The pictures in several events I imported disappeared, only the event names remain. Now iPhoto crashes when I try to import new files. Any ideas?

I imported several hundred pictures to different events. Some directly from a Canon EOS camera (large card) and some form old CD's. The import process went fine. But I noticed some events were empty after having seen them in the library. Thought it was my mistake and may have moved the pictures to other event. The last CD I was importing could not be read and iPhoto hanged. I had to force turn off the laptop and when restarted, several of the newer events were also empty and now iPhoto crashes when I try to Import to Library. Does anybody has had an experience like this? I really need to recover the pictures because I already deleted them from the camera. Help will be greatly appreciated.

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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.
Regards

Computer freezes when I try to import a cd into itunes...

I just recently got a Macbook Pro, and I am having a problem when I try to import a cd that I burned previously. When I put in a cd the computer freezes and the cd won't play and Itunes will not work at all. I have to restart the computer to get anything to work. I burned the cd on a Windows computer, and the cd works fine there. The cd's I am using are brand new with no scratches. I don't think I should have to restart the computer every time I try to import a cd. I hope I can get some help on this matter.

I'm having the same problem, except the CD I last inserted will not eject. It gave me the option to force eject the CD and I did. But the CD didn't come out...and a message popped up saying it was successfully ejected. Now the little icon doesn't come up when I press the eject button and the computer says there is no CD in the drive but the CD is still in there. I have had this Mac for about 4 and 1/2 hours now.

Imported MOV files are running choppy and I can't edit in the source window..anybody can you walk me thru how to fix?

My MOV files are choppy in the SOURCE window where I'm trying to edit. Please help....I have a camera that I use for that is drone footage no audio and it imports fine; never choppy easy to edit. Now I'm trying to import video from my Lumix; it's bringing in audio that I don't need but the files are choppy and am unable to edit. Have been watching tutorials but I can't seem to fix the problem still.

Thanks for your patience with me. I have tried what you mentioned and dragging the clips in question to the new item icon. Sometimes it works fine and others it gets hung up again. However, I'm used to editing when the file is in the source area (upper left corner ...see file attached...screenshot). When I do the task you mentioned it immediately puts the entire clip before I edit in the lower right and it doesn't appear i can edit as easily. Does that make sense?
I'm starting to think my computer isn't powerful enough? ):
