Why can't I import with home share?

I have followed the directions for home share. I can see the shared categories under homeshare on my new PC, but when I try to import the import button is like a like gray color and it won't let me import the music. I can play music but the old PC has to be on with the home share up and running. I am trying to get all of my itunes music to my new PC. Thank you for any help. Oh the new PC has Windows 8.

Since you have a miniDV camcorder, you will have to import your video into your Macbook Pro via a FireWire cable, but not just any FireWire Cable... You need a FIREWIRE 800 (9-pin) to FIREWIRE 400 (4-pin), like the one in the picture...
You can buy this cable online at any major tech retailer, such as Amazon, Newegg, Buy.com, etc.
After you connect your camcorder to your Macbook Pro with this cable, iMovie or whichever video editing software you are using, will automatically know that your camcorder is connected and will allow you the option to transer video from your connected device.
Importing from a FireWire tape-based Camera
Connect the camera and iMovie will automatically recognize it. The Import window will appear. You can use the transport controls to rewind, fast forward, stop and play the contents of the camera. Click on Automatic to rewind the tape and capture the whole tape's contents into iMovie. Choosing Manual will allow you to select and record just the parts of video that you wish.
If you connected the camera before iMovie was open, you may need to tell iMovie which camera to use. check that the correct camera is selected in the Import window:
If the Import window does not open automatically, click on the Camera Import button as shown below
or choose File > Import from Camera...

ITunes 11 Stops Responding to Bonjour Discovery Multicast Broadcasts, Why? This stops the the Apple TV 3 from being able to start a new stream from the home share and the iPad remote app can no longer see the home share too.

I'm having an issue where my Apple TV 3 and all our iPads periodically seem to loose connectivity to an iTunes home share on a Windows 7 PC. Using a network protocol analyser on the PC I have identified that the point of failure corresponds to the ATV3 sending a bonjour discovery request and getting no reply from iTunes. Why the ATV3 'forgets' where the home share is is possibly another issue but the root cause of the failure is that iTunes, or more specifically the mDNSResponder service, is not responding to the UDP multicast port 5353 broadcast discovery packet sent by the ATV3 or iPad. The mDNSResponder service does start responding again after iTunes is restarted thus making the home share accessible once more, however, this frequent drop out is unacceptable and often happens after only a single TV show has been watched from the home share making the solution unworkable for a family, we simply cannot be restarting iTunes constantly it ruins the user experience completely!
The nature of this failure indicates that the ATV3, the iPads, the host PC and network are all working correctly and the point of failure here is the lack of response to the bonjour discovery protocol with the net result of either a spinning 'connecting to home share' message or the home share just disappearing from the computers section.
If there is a configuration fix for this please let me know as I haven't located a fix! Otherwise this seems very much to be a code flaw in iTunes 11 or the mDNSResponder and I would appreciate some input from Apple! Going on other questions in these forums it would seem the problem is not limited to Windows PCs but also Macs too. NB: This is not a TCP issue, when the ATV3 or iPad knows the IP of the iTunes server all works flawlessly, it just periodically they seem to refresh the list of home shares and at this point they loose the information about the home share they have just been using because of the non-response to the UDP multicast discovery broadcast packet, that is arriving at the host PC and isn't being blocked by the firewall.
Many Thanks!

In my case there was no import from a former mac.
My problem (at least mine) is that no app that offers media sharing works properly. Neither itunes home sharing nor AirVideo nor EyeTV sharing.
So I'm pretty sure that this is network issue.
Adding another user on my mac and sharing a new library works not also. But sharing from another laptop in my WiFi works. So this has to be a network issue on my mac, not only my user, but an issue of the whole system.
But I'm not willing to reinstall MacOS X for that if I don't have to.

Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
Thanks,
George

Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro or Compressor.
Actually, FCP X will happily open them.

Can two separate iTunes accounts home share music? I load music on my mothers iPod nano and my brother would like to load music onto her iPod also. Would there be a problem and what would be the process?

Yes you can set up homesharing on more than one library to be shared with other devices, just use the same homesharing ID and password on all of them.

Why can I not import pictures any more?
Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"
Technical informations:
PC with Windows 7 64-bit, Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit installed.
What I have done:
I downloaded the newest LR 5.71 and installed it again - mode repair; without success
I checked my PC with Norton 360: full scanning and optimizing registry
I restarted the PC and than I installed the LR 5.7 again - repair
Trouble 1:
Two days ago I could work with my LR 5 and to import pictures from a SD was no problem. Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.
Trouble 2:
I live in Switzerland and my language ist German. I dit not find a place where I can present my problem in German, e.g. a phone number oder email-address oder german-chat. My English is to week for a discussion for computer problems and do understand it.
Help:
I would very appreciate if anybody can help me, either to trouble 1 or to trouble 2. Thanks.

Why can't I import my full AVI file?

So I'm trying to import files from Camtasia into Premiere Pro.
So I have a 14 minute long clip I want to import into Premiere Pro. The video codec is TechSmith Screen Capture Codec. File type is AVI
Basically I import the file into premiere pro and the clip is only 23:25 that is 23 seconds long. I really have no idea why this is because if I open the file in windows media player it recognizews the full 14 minutes. Even within Premiere pro when I look for info on the original file it says it is 14 minutes so why can I only work with 23:25?
I have exported the same file twice out of Camtasia to test a bad export and the same result. It's weird since I have done this before in Camtasia and been fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

I have 68 GB free and the movie is a small one. The iDVD file is on my hard drive and in the dock.
Today I found a work around for this problem. While I cannot open the original movie, I can access the clips in the media folder. I put the clips together and made a new movie. And I can import this to iDVD by going to "share" in the menu and selecting iDVD.

Why can't I import CR2(raw) images

I just purchased Adobe PS Elements 8 to replace my 5.0. I was able to import pictures from my Canon Rebel xsi 450, via usb wire, except the CR2(raw) images. Once the import gets to these I get a pop up that states "Elements Organizer cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged, and try again." My battery is fully charged and I disconnected and reconnected 2 x's. Why can't I import these photos?

My mistake, I was in a rush when I posted it. I ran some tests, and think I answered my own question:
It's a Canon T2i... Yes, I know I need Camera Raw 5.7. But when I try to install the RC of 5.7, I just get a message that it cannot be installed, please click quit (perhaps it only works with Photoshop cs4, not Elements 8?). So, as a test I loaded 5.6 (for Elements), and then tried to open a 7D cr2 file (which should be supported). It works fine... So, I'm wondering if I need to load a whole new version 5.7 to load the T2i files or if I can just load the 8Bi file from the new version? I'm not sure where that file would be in the install package. I have a feeling I'll just have to wait for the full version of 5.7 to come out...
Thanks for your reply.

Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form?

Why can I only import xml, xdp, or xfd files into my pdf form? Text (tab delimited) is not an option. I'm using Acrobat X Pro. Thank you in advance!

Hello George -- The form was not created by me, but appears to have originated in Acrobat. I also saved a copy with LiveCycle Designer to view/edit in design view. Unfortunlately both files had the same limited formats for import. Thanks, Julie

Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation

Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation?

msjones,
Most, if not all material sold on itunes is copyrighted and there are anti-piracy provisions embedded in the code. You may not have the rights to copy the movie to another medium such as Keynote. Your purchase of the movie and what you can do with it are limited.

I can see other accounts on home share and play the songs, but not drag them to my account. Home share is on "on" on both accounts and both computers are authorized. What can I do to copy the song from account to account?

Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?

Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
thanks,
Simon

First question that I am not clear on your answer about: Is the Apple ID itself a valid email address, and the same one that you have as your Primary email address on your account? If the actual Apple ID is not an email address, then that is why you are not able to sign on to iCloud or to verify it....it must be an email address.
If it is an email address then:
Update your OS to the latest version - 10.8.5
Once you have updated, reboot the Mac and then go to Preferences>iCloud and try to sign on with your Apple ID again.
Check Manage your Apple ID to make sure that your Apple ID/Primary email address is verified.
If the problem persists, contact iCloud Support to see if they can provide you with an explanation of the meaning of the message. If the Apple ID has already been verified, then I'm not sure why you would be getting this messge:
