Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
Thank you

Unless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library.  How is the flash drive formatted?  If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

    What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
    What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

    I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

    How did you do this move?  Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.

    TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.
    I am only able to rename a duplicated .html file right after I create it, because the file name gets highlighted in the Title Bar, but after that there is no recourse. I I can Rename or Save the file if I want to just save it as a .txt, but I need it to be .html. I guess I can manually change the file later, but it's really annoying.

    I remember long ago a similar issue with TextEdit, but I can't remember if there was a solution or not.
    Do you have it set to Display HTML files as HTML code and also deselect "When Saving a File: Add ".txt" extension to plain text files"

  • How Can I change the Directory and Name of Coded UI Test Result html file

    I'm Using Visual Studio 2013
    Now I can find the Coded UI test result html file insde the following path
    TestProjectFolder\TestResults\2015_01_22_05_59\In\anotherfolder\MyMachineName\UiTestActionLog.html
    VS2013 enables editing the name structure of this folder only (2015_01_22_05_59). and it should contains a static name+DateTime (Using the Project TestSettings).
    I need to (Programatically)
    Collect all test result html files on one folder with the project name (Change the path of the test result file)
    Put the testcase name on the result file name (for example : TC13505_ValidateScreenComponents_2015_01_22_05_59)
    If possible,Programatically attach the html result file to the test case attachements
    More Details:
    I need to set a custom valus for (ResultsDirectory -
    TestLogsDir -TestResultsDirectory
    - TestName) on the runtime.
    please if any onw know how to do the previous tasks
    by code, please share your knowledge.

    Hi AhmedElgazar,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    As you said  that you want to collect all test result html files on one folder with the project name by programmatically way to change the path of test result file in coded UI test.
    As far as I know that when we run a coded UI test every time, it is default that there will create a new folder to save the new UITestActionLog.html.
    So we could not change the path of test result file and collect all test result html files on one folder in VS IDE.
    At present, there have no way to collect all test result html files on one folder and change the test result file path.
    In addition, I know that we can change the TestResults folder using mstest.exe in command line.

  • Video won't play in Interactive PDF

    Hi,
    I am attempting to export an interactive pdf with video and I have followed all the steps in the user guide.
    However, While all other elements seem to function fine, when I attempt to click on the video file I am presented with a blank screen.
    Initially I was using an mp4 file but I have converted this to f4v with no success. I have made sure to keep the original frame size.
    The file plays fine in SWF preview.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    In Acrobat Reader, check the Multimedia Trust (legacy) setting. You can set the permissions of how the media players handle multimedia files. The settings are: Prompt, Always and Never. If "Never" is applied, then you would need to change to one of the other settings. Also, you have individual settings for Quicktime and Flash. And individual settings for trusted documents and other documents.
    Keep in mind, these are application settings, and will only affect your app, not the document and how others will experience the multimedia files.

  • Motion not exporting video, just a black screen

    I am creating some scrolling text in Motion and when I export the file I am using the same setting I always have. It is a quicktime movie and I am using the current project and canvas settings. I haven't changed anything but after a few times of exporting scrolling text it only shows a black screen in the exported file. The first few work fine. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your time.

    I've seen this problem off and on again for so long now I consider it a feature and not a bug. I have no idea what causes it as I've seen it happen with different versions of Motion, under different versions of the OS on different Macs.
    The solution for me is to export as an Animation file when this happens. Nothing else works from reinstalling to trashing the com.apple.motion.plist file.
    I've also never ever ever had a .motn file in FCP's timeline render as anything but pure black. Even trying it on different machines in different editing suites. It just doesn't work and never has for me.

  • Html export with embedded video won't play on ipad

    Keynote 6.0 for Mac - when you export a keynote as html, if there is embedded video, the video will not play on an ios device.

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions..
    If you didn't repair permissions after updating Safari, try that.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
    Also, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Video files on my external HD won't play on my iMac

    I recently backed up my iPhoto library onto an external drive due to space issues on my desktop iMac. I did this through the export option in iPhoto. All of the photos have transferred beautifully, however the video files are no longer playing. They have become .MOV files and open through Quicktime. The screen is black and the audio has disappeared, however they still appear to be the length that they are supposed to be (i.e. the duration time of each file is displayed properly). When I try to open them in iPhoto, it simply tells me that file type is unsupported, which leads me to hope that they just need to be converted before being played.
    I have checked the forums and the only information I can stumble across is from 2011 and makes me think that the files are lost and irrecoverable.
    Someone please help and tell me that I can still watch my videos. They are personal videos from the last 10+ years of my life, so I would be devastated if they are gone.
    Thanks!

    Get a second external drive, drag both the iTunes library and the pictures to it, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and point it to that instance of the library. This also works with iPhoto, but see below.
    A drive or partition needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended in order to hold an iPhoto library or for Time Machine to back it up.

  • What do i do if my songs won't play and it says original file can not be located?

    My "original" I-tunes library is on my windows xp desk top and I have a macbook pro laptop library. I always accessed the original through home sharing but the library no longer shows up on my mac. On my desktop it says the song cant be used because the original file can't be located and there is 2 i-tunes shortcuts but neither will play music. I chose to locate the original but that doesn't work either. How do I fix this?

    Hello shaum9120,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like iTunes has lost the file path for the music. The best step will be to follow part 4-6 of the following article (under the External drive section):
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Here is an excerpt of Part 5 (see article for other important steps):
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your new computer:
    1. Locate the following folder on your new computer:
              Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
              Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
              Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
              Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
    2. Drag the "iTunes" folder in this location out to the desktop.
              From the Music folder to the Desktop on your new Mac:
              From the My Music folder to the Desktop on your new PC:
    3. Locate the external drive on your new computer:
              Mac OS X: On the desktop.
              Windows: In My Computer.
    4. Double-click on the external drive icon to open it.
    5. Drag the iTunes folder from the external drive to the Music folder (Mac OS X) or My Music Folder (Windows) on your new computer (from step 1 of this section). This can take a while if you have a lot of content.
    6. Open iTunes.
    You've now moved all your music, playlists, and other information like play counts and ratings from your old computer to your new one.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I made a slide show with music and random transitions in iPhoto.  I can't burn it to a DVD.  The burn button in iPhoto is not highlighted, and when I exported the slide show to iDVD, it lost the random transistions, and the disk won't play in DVD player.

    Two problems:  1. My iphoto slide show loses its random transitions when I export it to iDVD.
    2. When I then burn it to a disk, the disk will not play in a DVD player, but only on my MAC.
    Any ideas?

    The random transitions can only be random when played in iPhoto.
    If you are in the slideshow mode and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option a quictime movie will be created of the slideshow with the first random set of transitions and imported into iDVD.  The transitions, however,  will be fixed permanently and will not be changed again.
    There is no way to get any sort of random behavior in an iDVD.  When it's burned to disk it's locked permanently.

  • I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

    I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

    I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

  • No image when embedding a video/movie into my PDF file,just a black screen?

    I cannot embed videos with an image on my computer into my Acrobat Pro 8 file. I get only a black screen, which I must click on to play the video. How do I import the visual image along with an arrow for playing or a navigation bar at the bottom for play/pause?

    If you're creating video content in Acrobat 8 then it's "legacy media", which has a different structure to the Rich Media Annotations created by Acrobat 9 and later. RMAs use Flash Player and there are inbuilt choices for the play control buttons when you create a new annotation, but legacy media hands over control of the video rendering to whatever external application it can find installed on your computer, so what you see will vary.
    The poster frame for a video can be controlled when the annotation is created - either sampled from the video or selected manually from an image file.
