Where does iCloud put videos?

I have my phone set up to automatically sync over the air my photos and videos with my Mac. The photos show up in iPhoto but where do the videos go? They don't show up in iMovie. Is there some other place I should be looking?

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I'm trying to get a video from my iPhone 4 (iOS 5) to my Mac (Lion) using iCloud. Actually, any method would be fine. The video is on my phone and I can watch it on my phone but iTunes on my Mac can't find it and iMovie doesn't recognize my iPhone as a camera, so it won't download the video.

Where does iCloud source all it's contacts from?

Hi,
I have a really random thing happening on my iCloud (obviously effecting all my apple devices, iPhone 4S, Macbook Pro):
I have recently had a whole lot of old contacts turn up in my iCloud contacts. Now there weird thing is:
     - these contacts are from a cell phone I would've had about 5 years ago
     - it wasn't a smart phone, was something like a basic nokia or sony ericsson or something
     - the phone was on a different number, and a different sim card, and possibly a different network
     - the contacts weren't stored on the sim card that is currently in my iPhone
     - I didn't do any importing of any kind, they just showed up in my contacts
     - The names of the contacts are showing exactly how I put them in my old phone, ie, the name + some way to remember them (like Gary the guitar guy), so can't have been synced from anything like Facebook.
My question is, where does iCloud gather it's contact info from?? Over the years I have had hotmail, gmail, facebook, myspace, bebo, etc, does it link with them somehow?
I receive Microsoft Exchange mail and Gmail on my iPhone, but none of these old contacts show up in the contacts of these two accounts?
So confusing, and kinda creepy! Anyone know what is going on??
Thanks

Ohhhhh whoops just realised what I have done haha
I copied a whole lot of crap off an old hard drive onto my MacBook Pro .. included in the crap was an old backup of a vCard database I must've done ages ago .. MacBook found it and decided to import it into my contacts automatically!
As you were, Macbook ...

Where does iTunes put iPhone backups in a PC (Windows 7)?

Where does iTunes put iPhone backups in a PC (Windows 7)?

Apps are not backed up, app data is. Apps are already located in iTunes and thus do not need to be backed up. See this support document for information about what is backed up via iTunes.
Are you sure about that, because when I backed up my iPad Mini w/7.0.4 and the newest iTunes, it made a 10gb Backup, which is pretty huge considering I only have a "16" Gb Slate iPad (More Like 13.5 Gb).
When I restored it after Jailbreaking, it moved ALL of the Apps I had bought back in - A neat trick if the Apps themselves are not part of the Backup package- Because the apps had NOT been backed up into iTunes on that PC.
iOS 6 did NOT restore my Apps, even though it did restore my folders.

TS4036 where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key?

where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key for file vault?

Note that you have to have specifically chosen to store the key with Apple at the time you created the FileVault encryption, and chosen security questions so that you can identify yourself when you come to retrieve it. If you did not store it with Apple in this way and do not have a record of it elsewhere then you cannot proceed. All this has nothing to do with iCloud and the process is not automatic.

Where does iphoto put the library?

where does iphoto put the library?
i thought it would be put in the pictures folder but at least in my case it is not there! the folder is empty.
I can import pictures and they show in iphoto and frontrow but I would simply like to know where on my harddisk they end up.
anybody?
thanks

Chris
No! Don't make anew library it will overwrite your old one.
It's there somewhere, it's just that it's visibility status has changed (why??)
Anyway try the following:
go to http://www.cocoatech.com and download Pathfinder. This is an alternative to the Finder - and it has extra features, among them a View-> Show Invisible Items command. This might help us find it.
Pathfinder is shareware, but you can use it for a trial period without paying.

Where does Firefox cache videos? (I checked the Cache foler. Not there)

The FireFox' disk cache foler is set to ''D:\Cache'' (I set it so from about:config).
I cleared the disk cache, watched a YouTube video (almost 2 minute long), then looked into ''D:\Cache''. But the video I had watched was not there! (I found two .SWF files. But their sizes were smaller than 250K. And, stand-alone SWF players couldn't play them. Therefore, they can't be YouTube videos.)
So, where does Firefox cache videos?

Firefox doesn't cache videos on disk. The Flash player that plays the videos is in the cache, but the videos are streamed and not saved. They may be kept in the memory cache during the play.
You can check the cache on the about:cache page.

Does iCloud sync videos taken on my iPod touch?

Can anyone please tell me if iCloud syncs videos taken on my iPod touch and if so, where do I find them? Thank you.

Videos and photos in your camera roll are backed up when you back up to iCloud. However back up is for restoring your iOS device, you cannot selectively access or restore individual files in the iCloud backup.

Where does iMovie put my clips?

this is my first go at imovie, and i was wondering, when it imports my clips from a miniDV tape, where does it store the clips on my HD? i want to be able to burn raw-un-edited DV files to archive as original DV rips off of the tape, but i cant find the files.
the main problem is that i imported about 4 miniDV tapes (all recorded at extended play: EP) and i only used a few clips to make my movie, i've moved on from that project and deleted it, but i need the rest of the clips that weren't used in that project. i assumed that the clips are stored somewhere on my harddrive, but when i did a search for ".dv", "clip", "clip 1", "clip 2" etc. and "movie" i the finder didnt come up with anything.
i really need to get to those unused clips because the miniDVs have been carelessly recorded over. when i was working on a PC i know XP would jus import the moviez az WMVs and place them in "My movies" and i could just acess them from there, but for some reason i cant find my DV clips anywhere on the harddrive.
i've already deleted the first project i was working on because i thought it'd just delete the project, not the DV clips also.
can anyone help me find the "un-used" clips? do they still exist? if they dont, where would i find future clips that are imported in imovie?
i'm running imovieHD6.xxx

ok, so that means when i import from my miniDV cam, osx imports the files into a /media folder which is hidden? is there anyway i can access the folder manually?
i mentioned before that i imported every miniDV tape i had during a single project (so that i could have access and preview all my miniDVs w/o having to keep switching through tapes all the time and also determine a time line and seperate "dvds" for seperate events), then used the only a few of the clips i had to make one movie then transcoded it to DVD and then i deleted the project thinking that the other unused clips would still be there (somewhere on the harddrive) since i just deleted the project file.
from my understanding now is that the clips still exist after i've deleted the project file; is that correct? or did osx delete all files associated with my video project when i deleted project file?
not that i dont want to recapture my miniDVs but one or more of the tapes have been overwritten. since i thought i had already captured them onto my imac.
i guess my biggest question would be how would i get to that /media folder??? and are my other imported clips gone?
and once again.. yes.. i've unfortunately empty'd my trash...
thanks for your responses QuickTimeKirk and Matti

Does icloud backup videos from my camera roll on iphone 5?

My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode aftera a failed software update - when i plugin to iTunes to restore it - a warning tells me it will erase eveyrthing on my phone.....I do use iCloud - does iCloud save all my photos and vidoes? I pay the $100/year for the most storeage - but have no way of seeing what is actually on the cloud - so i am scared to do my phone restore...I will lose all the photos of baby from birth until now. Please help

It is not a good idea to have the only copies of your important photos/videos on your iPhone.
You really should be transferring your photos and videos to your computer and then backing them up.

Where does Lightroom put HDR in the grid view? Is there anyway to have Lightroom stack the HDR file with the source files?

I can't decipher where (and why) the program is putting the HDR image in the grid. I stack all of my HDR source images so they are easy to track and manage. Other apps/plugins allow you to stack resulting images with their source image. That would be great if there's a way to set that in LR preferences.

Thanks, but this doesn't really answer the question about stacking the HDR file with the source files. Yes, it does put the file in the same folder, however many of my folders have 100s of images (that often look similar) and as far as I can tell, LR places them randomly in the sort order. It doesn't appear to put them at the beginning or end of the sort (usually by date), but somewhere randomly in the middle. Even if it could be made clear what method it is using to sort them, that would help locate one file among hundreds.
Ideally, however it should allow you to stack with the stacked source files. Is there anyway to do this? If not, is it a feature that could be requested?

How do you import/where do you put video clips?

With my Windows Vista PC, video clips taken by my iPhone or digital camera were imported by Windows Photo Gallery and stored in the same directories as the photos. These videos could then be synced via iTunes in the Photo tab, when you selected a photo directory that contained video files and clicked on the "Include videos" box.
Now on my new iMac, I see the same "include videos" box under the Photo tab for any given iOS device in iTunes. But, iPhoto did not import even my iPhone-created videoes when I migrated my photo library.
So my question (i'm a mac newbie in case it was not clear): How do I need to setup the video import process so that camera and iPhone videos are stored in the places they need to be, so that they can be synced in iTunes during photo sync? Does iPhoto need to be configured in some way to import the video, or am I supposed to use iMovie to import video clips into a library which can be used by iTunes for syncing during the photo sync process? Or is there some other program I have to configure? When I connect cameras with video clips, my iMac is not bringing up any program by default to import the video - is there some sort of configuration option I am supposed to select?
Second question: I have a lot of video clips in avi format created by older digital camers. What format do I need to convert them to in order to get them into a format which can be imported into a library and synced to my iOS devices? Previously on my PC, I converted the AVI files to MP4 format, and it worked just fine. However, again iPhoto did not recognize these files (maybe if I get question #1 answered this will no longer be an issue).
Thanks,
JB

I guess the reason I like the iPhoto approach is that it arranges my photos chronologically/as events, which makes it easier for me to view. I also like that I can sync my videos by event. This workflow works for me because I have a tendency to make a lot of video and only get around to editing later, but often still like to look at the raw video from time to time. Meanwhile, I note that viewing clips in iMovie is far less convenient - clearly this is for editing only rather than viewing. So if I understood it correctly, to do it this way, I should convert video clips in iMovie to, I guess, the *.mov format and move those into iPhoto, yes?
I just took a video with my iPhone and confirmed that iPhoto did import it. However, I still can't figure out why iPhoto did not see the existing iPhone mov files in my PC photo library from the USB hard drive when it imported all other photos from the same. I then dragged and dropped some of those mov files manually into iPhoto, and this worked... but not well. Those videos got arranged as a separate event, and then I had to go and put them back into the correct event.
I have hundreds of photo subdirectories from the PC library, and I don't remember which ones have iPhone video files. Is there a way to search the entire photo directory for *.mov files and drag them from there into iPhoto? If I could then see the file name or time/date stamp of the individual mov files, I could then sort the mov files manually into the correct events.
What if I were to make iPhoto reimport from this photo directory, with the hopes that it would automatically pick up the mov files? Would I get duplicates of existing imports by this method?
Finally - am I correct in assuming that I only have to convert my existing avi video clips to mov format in order for iPhoto to be able to handle them?

TS3988 where does iCloud Control Panel keep its error logs

I have a problem with my iCloud control Panel.
There is a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, indicating there is some sort of error, but there is absolutely no way of finding out what the error is. I have looked everywhere on my system for anything resembling an error log for iCloud Control Panel yet i havent found a thing.
Does anyone here know where it might be located and how i can find out what the error is to fix it

Hi, Korgun. Your short version is a little too short and your long version much too complicated for me to be certain I understand your situation correctly, but I'll take a shot.
Every volume (a hard drive, or a partition on a hard drive, or a CD, DVD, etc.) that has OS 9 installed on it contains an invisible Desktop Folder, and in that folder are all the items that appear on the desktop when you boot into OS 9, except your hard drive and the Trash.
The fact that you can't boot to either OS on your old drive suggests that its directory may be damaged, in which case it wouldn't be surprising if, in addition to being unable to boot to it, you also couldn't find some things on it. If that drive mounts normally on the desktop when you boot into OS X on the other drive, use the Repair Disk function in Disk Utility (open the copy of DU on the good drive after making sure nothing is running on the bad one) to try to fix the directory on the bad drive. Run the Repair Disk routine repeatedly until you've gotten two successive "Appears OK" verdicts. Assuming DU is successful, you should then be able to double-click the Desktop folder on the repaired drive and access all the files that are on that drive's OS 9 desktop.
If I've misunderstood your situation, my apologies, and would you please try to clarify matters?

Where does iWeb put my media files?

I used iMovie 6.0.1 to send a QT movie to iWeb, which then was published to my .Mac account successfully (albeit slowly). I would like to also put this movie on a different site I have, without re-exporting from iMovie, since this took a bit of time on my powerbook. If I just copy-paste from iWeb, I get a .mov file, but one that cannot be moved (or viewed) to a PC. The original file is many MBs, but this .mov file is only ~500kB.
Does anyone know where iWeb puts this exported media file? I'd like to get my hands on the original without re-exporting. Thanks for the help!
15" Rev D Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

look in username/library/application support/iWeb
there is a package there named domain.
control click on it and "show package"
from there you will the the files and can copy one out.
make sure you copy and and not move it
good luck

Where does iCloud app store downloaded attachments on iOS device?

I am wondering where iCloud app store downloaded attachments? I downloaded a rather large PDF for viewing and would like to get rid of it. Thank you.

Got it. So the Lion installer will be in my apps folder? the reason I'm asking is because I want to be able to create a bootable DVD so I can do a clean install. I have the instructs per OSX Daily. The instructs were from Apple devs on how to make a bootable DVD as they were doing with the pre-GM's. Thanks!
