[Wxbunny58]

Hi can someone please please help me. When I import my movies some of my movies have this icon of a movie camera on it. These videos are not fully in my computer and I can't share it. How can I share these videos. How can I get rid of the icon? Please please help

Need some information:

1. What exact Mac model do you have?

2. What exact Mac OS are you running?

3. Have you ever done any disk cleanup/maintenance/repairs, from a software perspective?

4. Are you making backups to an external device?
