iphone 12pmax HD60 video not playing back on Mac iphoto. Why not? Says video format not supported.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
I suppose you mean Photos. iPhoto has been replaced by Photos years ago.
You need to tell us specifically the video settings, and also how you are importing your videos to your mac.
Try opening one those videos with Quicktime Player. Does it play?
Press command-I and twirl open the video settings. Post a screenshot.
Hi Sailor666666,
You've let us know that when using iPhoto, you're unable to open specific videos due to a 'Format not supported' error.
Can you tell us which version of macOS we're working with? Are you using iCloud or transferring your videos by connecting your iPhone to your Mac? Is this happening with all videos? Last question, is this happening with the same video in other apps like iMovie, QuickTime, etc?
We look forward to hearing back with these details!
I am frustrated that I have an iphone 12pm and cannot play back all formats on the apple software provided. I didn't buy a good camera to take photo or video on the lowest resolution. So apple needs to bring their iphoto up to speed with the devices capacity.
Change the format for the camera to "Most Compatible" in Settings on the iPhone.
I am on Big Sur on the Mac. And photos and video are all shared over cloud. I assume that might have something to do with it.
The machine you are trying to view the format must support the file format.
