Why can't iMovie on iOS create portrait movies?

If I take a video on my iPhone in portrait mode and then import it into iMovie for editing, iMovie always crops it.
Why can't iMovie on iOS create portrait videos?
Splice can create portrait videos!!!

I don't know why, as we are all users here no one will really know why.
I assume it's because TVs only play wide video.
But if you really want to see it in future I suggest you tell Apple:

If enough peoploe ask they will change it.

Why can't I install iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5?

Why can't I install iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5? When I try to install it, a message says that I need 4.6 GB of storage available to install the update to the operating system, although the specs from Apple state that the update is 957 MB. I have 1.2 GB available. Do I have to delete all music (4.6 GB) and some of my apps to install this update?

If you have a Computer with iTunes you will not need to make that room available. If you do have to upgrade via WiFi you will have to make nearly as much memory available as it says (a little less typically works). Any Apps you purchased will be available in the App Store if you go to Update and click on Purchases. Then you will see all the Apps that you have ever purchased from the App Store and you can download them for free. With regard to any of you Photos or Music that you may need to delete to make room you will need to ensure that those were already in some Backup at iCloud or on your Computer. Even though iOS 8 is less than a GB the process of downloading and unpacking and preparing things takes the extra memory.

Why can't I download iOS 6 on my ipad2?

Try to reboot the iPad by holding down the on/off button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds till you see the apple logo and let it restart. Then go look again in Updates. See if that helps.

Which iPad do you have? The original iPad is not compatible with iOS 6...does not have enough processor power to support iOS 6.

Why can i not get my amazon intant movies to come up on my apple tv?

Why can I not get my amazon instant movies to come up on my apple tv from my ipad airplay?

Not an AppleTV problem as such.
Many app developers seem to block video airplay of content that you can watch in an app.
I can only assume this has something to do with rights issues for the movie/show.
Check on amazon's instant movies site for more info.

Why can't iMovie 09 open a project created in an earlier version of iMovie?

I recently bought a new (intel) iMac with iMovie 09 to replace our old (PowerPC) iMac G5. I had created several movie projects in iMovie on the old iMac, but these are apparently unreadable on the new one. I presume this may have something to do with the switch to intel - but is there any way I can import the files?
The files contain slideshows of still photos with music and some video mixed in - and I'd like to update them with newer material, so importing the entire file as a quicktime movie or something like that would not really help...

YOU SAY - AppleMan1958: iMovie will import video from old projects, but not photos.
Perhaps - but how? I cannot open project from 08, have read many forum posts from others with the same goal ...that have been unable to import/open previous projects. Please share some tips (or secrets!) that can help.

[beninner] Why can see two way to create account

Hello all!!!
I just settup my first server OS X 10.6 and just fater the installation >I choosed to setup un directory.
That server will run 3 services : files and printer, directory and calendar.
Afrter the installation finished, I can see two window
1) System preferences
2) Server preferences
in both I can create new accounts
Could tell me which is the difference??
Morever, I also can see Workgroup manager from where I can create account
In fact there are three way to create and manage users.
But from which will an directory user? (I guess from "Worgroup manager")
Finnaly, I install OD X on a 640G Hard disk, but /home must be in a different Hard disk. I suppose I will settup the path of /home from "workgroup manager"?
many thank for all of you explication. this will be very helpfully

System Preference create user inside the Local Directory /Local
Server Preferences and Workgroup Manager (WGM) are the tools that can be used to create/ edit Directory Users.
Directory Users can be in form of Open Directory or other type (e.g. Active Directory (Windows Based Directory service)
WGM can also be used to create and edit Local users.
In terms of scope from smallest to largest
System Preferences < Server Preferences < WGM

Why can't I export a Medium/Large movie?

Hi,
Newbie here - be kind. I'm just joining clips to upload to youtube. I don't need to splice anything. I am having the following issues:
1. When you put your clips in iMovie, is there a way to display the accompanying file name? Or since I don't need to splice anything, can I just display the clips in a text list format? It would make things a lot easier in terms of makin sure I'm putting the clips in the correct chronological order.
2. When I try exporting the movie, the option for "Medium" and "Large" is greyed out. All I can export is mini, which is terrible resolution. My source clips are from a Sony HDD camcorder and are 720x480. Any idea why I can't export a higher resolution movie?
Thanks. I really appreciate any help out there.

I am having the same problem!! I have imported files that were .mov (though they were converted from VHS tapes I imported). I am thinking it is because the quality of the VHS was not good enough to export into a medium to large format. (Although when I plug the VCR into the TV the picture is clear) I don't know why it can go in as an mp4 or mov and can't also export as such. I really haven't done much to them except add some transitions and a couple of songs. I am afraid once I put them into iDVD, the picture will be very pixellated, even though it was clear with the original VHS.

Why can't I change the Created Date on a file using Terminal?

I bought a used Contour helmet camera to take pictures of the kids while they're skiing, and I cannot access the camera itself to change the clock in it (USB port is broken).
I get videos from it just fine, but every time I remove the battery the date/time on the camera resets to January 2008, so my skiing videos end up someplace completely different from what I expect in iMovie.
I thought I could change the Created Date with Touch in Terminal, but it only handles the Modified Date. I know I can purchase File Date Changer 5 from the App Store to do this, but I'd like to know why I can't do it in Terminal.
Anybody know? Or know of a different way that I COULD do it in Terminal?

Don't know about Terminal, but, because you are using 10.9.x and iMovie, try the iMovie method:
