Q: A necessary data reference could not be resolved
I have some videos taken with my iPhone 4 (ATT model) which I downloaded into iPhoto. I KNOW I have successfully played them from iPhoto before - one I think as recently as the last week. But most of them, when I try to play them, give this message:
A necessary data reference could not be resolved.
One I made almost two weeks ago still works. But every one I've tried that was made prior to December 12th does not (I do have two from December 12 - one works and one doesn't. I think they are the same thing but at some point I made a copy with some adjustments I don't recall).
Another weird thing:
There was one in particular I wanted to get into iTunes. Trying different things, I tried loading it into Quicktime - and that worked. I then saved out a copy from QT which I then imported into iTunes.
But when I tried that again, almost none of the movies I tried to select would let me do it! Trying to import via iTunes has the same problem.
So, what the heck is going on and how can I get things working again?
