how to upload a video from imovie to youtube

Step 3 Go back to your account settings and generate an app password for YouTube for an iPad or iPhone, whichever is the case.

Step 1 Log into your Google account from a web browser and go to your Google Account settings.

Ios 8 | iMovie | YouTube | Google Account I link to my longer article about all of this below, but these are the basic steps: Steps To Resolve YouTube Sign-in Problem The reason I think this may be true is because many of the changes that the update is supposed to address are security related. The more I thought about it I wondered if this wasn’t a direct result of updating to ios 8.1.3? iMovie now also required an app password due to my enabling the 2 Step Verification (which Google required me to enable if I wanted to read my Gmail using Apple’s standard email app!)

The possibility of failure appeared to be inevitable until it suddenly struck me… this was yet another instance of Google’s enhanced security. But after several more attempts, and then going to look up my password in Dashlane, and actually copying it from my personal password data bank (stored in Dashlane), I pasted it in and tried again (to rule out typos). I tried…several times…yet kept the boxes to enter my data just ‘refreshed’ and appeared empty again…awaiting me to enter my sign in data.īut, because there were no error messages of any kind, I assumed I’d just typed my password incorrectly. That’s why I was more than a little puzzled when YouTube asked me to sign in again prior to uploading a video. In fact, I had signed in previously to both apps and used both apps for this same purpose within the last few days! I’d also addressed the new Google security issues for the YouTube app on the iPad I was using.

I’d previously used iMovie on that iPad to do exactly that. So the most recent problem I encountered was when I attempted to upload a video using the iMovie app.

I decided to write a separate post specifically for this, because it’s not something that anyone would immediately think about when updating all of their security settings for Google accounts.
