  • My photos and videos are not in chronological order, when I export the Photos app

    Hello. When I export my photos and videos from the Photos app on my iMac all the photos and videos are not in order. I need all the photos in good standing - I need to export about 5 000 pictures of the application in order for a meeting next week! Help, please!

    Ethan.

    This is not photo - it is a function of the viewing program (probably the finder) - once the photos are exprted form pictures you can see then in different ways which you control, Photos does not - by the finder you can view by name of son, byt several dates, by file size, etc.

    Usually, the best way to accomplish what you want is to export using the names of batch file numbeing and then sort by file name in the program viewing

  • My photos and video are not supported due to safe mode (I think)

    I went in safe mode to move around 3 000 files, photos and videos of user account 1 and account 2 to 2 office in a folder called 'FILES2KEEP '. When I rebooted my computer to check on the photos, I could not see most of the miniatures, and even with some still visible, when I tried to open windows photo gallery said, "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video. This file format is not supported, or you do not have the latest updates to the photo gallery. "For the videos, I received the error message 2048 after them playing with QuickTime player. These files were not deleted somehow, just moved from one region to another in safe mode. The sizes of these photos and videos are normal and their respective sizes. I decided to place these files in normal mode and then restarted my computer, however, nothing has worked. I sill have the folder "FILES2KEEP" on desktop 2, but without the files user account. This could be the cause this and what are the several ways to address this issue?

    (Note: I'm running on Windows Vista Edition complete with Service Pack 2)

    Safe mode was probably not the cause, but the files are permanently damaged and need to be restored from your most recent backup.  The files may have been damaged during the move, but which is unlikely because move files only changes their display location, the tracks on the disc do not actually move.

    You could try checking the errors on your drives, the 'answer' to this page explains how: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system/chkdsk-utility/4f46929e-db2d-43e0-88c4-a3a5c49bb2da

  • How to convert wma and wav, mp4 files and what not not mp3 with Windows media player?

    * Original title: music questions

    Music has become a huge problem for me.   My car CD player only supports mp3 format.  I wish I could burn my CD from which I get used various locations, so that I can play in my car. Or convert files I have, which are not in mp3 format.  I played the same CD in my car for years.  It's a little sad.  And convert mp3 no mp3 files, so I can play them in my car, because I don't have a player other than Windows media player and speakers belong good markets.   How to convert files to wma and wav and mp4 and what not in mp3?

    Music is expensive nowadays and the multiple formats and thus loss of music bought and in the cloud, or itunes 'cannot locate the source' will not play, and when devices in the event of a failure or who are upgraded drives me crazy.  I have more music in my life and I wish that we would go back to portable music as CD.

    I usually use Windows Media player to RIP CD, that I find at thrift stores.   I have my brother gave me, on the PC that is in all sorts of types of music files.  I found a job online converter and it is, according to me, so thank you guys for suggesting that.  Have tried 3 different ones and finally found one that works in the last one.  I think my brain might need a bit of adjustment, of our days, (won't tell you music I have on CD, would seriously date), no kidding, but probably my PC could also use the setting.   I also have itunes for Windows, but have hardly used it.

  • Photos and videos are blurry loading

    For about a month, whenever I chaque fois que je vais'm going to online photos load blurry, as are videos. At the beginning it was just to do it on YouTube and so I thought it was manually loading funny, but it wasn't and then shortly after any kind of pictures, even those of high quality, load blurry/pixelated. The only kind of real answers I've seen are to use ctrl + 0, but which is not at issue. The Web page is fine, it's photos and videos themselves that are funny. My computer doesn't have a virus, I regularly clean my registry browser and I clean my cookies and cache. I've updated all my plugins and passed through them to see if one of these could be a problem, and this is not it no more. I don't know what is happening. Has anyone else had this issue or how I could solve this problem?

    This also happens to you if you save an image on your computer and open in another program?

    Try a clean reinstall and remove the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder before reinstalling a new copy of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will also lose your personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

    2. What is the file format of you play it?

    I suggest you to reduce hardware acceleration for windows media and (if supported) graphics card player
