How do I uninstall and reinstall all of iMovie 10.0? When launched the screen is only a blank gray window.

I was in the process of editing a video and the screen when to random lines.  After a restart, the computer is fine, but iMovie won't start up anymore.  When iMovie is launched there is only a blank grey window that is shown.  The menus are still accessable from the top of the screen, but the window never changes.  I deleted iMovie and reinstalled it from the App Store, but when launched the same thing happens. What other items need to be deleted and reinstalled? Has anyone else had a similar issue?

I have a MacBook Air with an Intel HD 3000 graphics card.  To clarify, I was able to install and use iMovie 10.0.  Something happened while I was working in the program and iMovie crashed.  Now when I launch iMovie I only get a grey window, that typically would have shown the library of projects and preview screen.
In old school Mac, there were preference files that could be corrupt and might need to be deleted.  But, I'm unfamiliar with all the extra files that have been installed when iMovie was installed.

    You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove  the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

  • Game Center keeps crashing our games. How do we uninstall and reinstall "Game Center" on iPad2

    Hi there, we use an iPad2 running iOS version 4.3.3 (8J2 - whatever that means), and we keep running into a persistent problem which is that games keep crashing after a few minutes. I am fairly certain this is somehow connected to how they interact with Game Center because we will get regular crashes every 5 minutes or so, except when, for some reason, the game warns us that it can't connect with Game Center. Then the game will run uninterrupted until the battery is flat!
    This problem used only to be with a game called "Hay Day" but now it's starting to occur with other games (angry birds is the latest victim!). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game itself, but this never makes a difference. I thought if I could somehow strip out Game Center and reinstall it, it might solve my problem.
    I am hoping that someone has a solution. A friend recommended that I re-install iOS, but I have learned that you can on;y install iOS 6 now. I have not found one single person (including in these discussion fora!) who reports a good experience from transferring an iPad2 to iOS 6, and I understand that you can't undo it once you have transferred over.
    Any suggestions - or have we just got a "bad apple"?
    Cheers,
    TF

    Thanks CK. I gave it a try but it didn't solve the problem (the one good thing about our issue is that it's regular, so the solutions are testable!).
    It occurred to me that udating to the new iOS was the answer (how I wish we'd upgraded to iOS 5 when it was an option!!) - so we might just have to put up with this problem until Apple fixes iOS6 (the list of reported problems that it causes the iPad2 is huge, and the 6.0.1 patch, by all accounts, doesn't really address any of them!).
    Cheers,
    Jason

  • How do i uninstall and reinstall itunes on my phone?

    I have an iphone 5s.  after I installed the latest update, I plugged it into my computer and all of my playlists in iTunes disappeared.
    now, iTunes says that my phone is not usable and I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes on the phone.  how do I do this?

    You are misunderstanding the message.
    You cannot uninstall or reinstall iTunes on the iPhone.
    What exactly does the message say?

  • I get a crash notice. Firefox will not launch at all -- it keeps giving crash notice. I also cannot generate a crash report. I have uninstalled and reinstalled -- same issue. It does not launch.

    Firefox crashed this morning. It will not launch even after being uninstalled and reinstalled. All I can get is a crash box. It will not relaunch in any way
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == this morning -- it did not open ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; yie8)

    This sounds the same as my issue. I was browsing in Firefox v6.0 last night and all of a sudden it closed with no notice or error message. When I tried to open FF I received the messaga; We're Sorry - Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts." I does not restart. I have been using IE to browse for a solution and nothing works other than opening as administrator. Now this problem is only on one of my laptops and is fine on my desktop and other laptops so it appears to be something specific to my laptop which is running Window XP Home and Service Pack 3.
    Some suggestions were to change the profile (did not work), end the firefox.exe process in task manager (not running in processes) and delete an xpicleanup.exe (not listed).
    The only thing that works is to run as administrator but I have to do this everytime. Is ther a solution?

  • Can someone please direct me how to properly uninstall and reinstall???

    I had a previous post as well but I just want a fresh start on uninstalling and reinstalling. When I followed the steps and then opened itunes it had my previous library there even after I deleted the itunes folder from program files.
    I've had Itunes forever now and it's been fine. With this last upgrade, it's created some problems. Half of my new playlists created have disappeared. The music is still there in the library, just the playlists are gone which was enough to fill a 60 gb ipod. Itunes now reads at the bottom I have 1022 GB of music - my hard drive is 250gb so that's obviously incorrect. My iphone will not recognize my calendar or my contacts in Office 2003 with all updates - so basically it's hosed. Someone had given me a link to uninstall it which I did. I restarted. Then I uninstalled apple mobile something or other and restarted. Then I deleted the itunes folder from program files emptied recycle bin and then restarted. I then proceeded to re-download and install itunes. I went through the hour process of uninstall and restart then install. I get everything finished and open itunes expecting to see a fresh clean slate and it's exactly the same. What did I do wrong since I followed these instructions at the bottom for uninstalling http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845
    I need help. I figure at this point I'll take my losses with my playlists I have spent years building just to have everything working again. I appreciate any help you can give.

    Connect to any computer that has iTunes loaded.  The following will work for everything EXCEPT music that was obtained from some place other than the iTunes Music Store.  If that is your situation, post back before you proceed.
    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
    If things go wrong and you lose your apps, music, movies, etc. this is "Plan B."

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode. Followed apple support instructions...uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products.  Not getting any error codes, just cord/tunes pic. Itunes is not recognizing my phone so I cant even restore. Pls help !

    I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago.  I was prompted to do an update and did it... then my phone showed the image of the wire to the itunes symbol... so it's in recovery mode.  I have been working on this for hours!  I read tons of apple support procedures and followed them to the letter.... HT1414, TS3125, TS1538 etc.
    I uninstalled my itunes, quicktime... all the apple products like the instructions said. I reloaded everything and rechecked to make sure it was good.  Driver is showing up good with no problems.
    I would totally be fine with restoring it to the original settings... I've only had it for 2 weeks! But itunes won't even recognize the phone so I can't even hit the restore button.  This is so frustrating. I am running windows 7... and I ran all updates like the apple support instructions said. I checked updates with Norton.  All good. I did all the windows & norton updates before I uninstalled and reinstalled apple products. If I could only get itunes to even recognize the phone.
    The phone is not jailbroken... it was fresh from the factory... then that update!
    Please help.  I am without a phone.

    I may have fixed the issue. The errors in device manager were a driver error apparently windows didnt have appropriate drivers installed to allow itunes to recognize a device in recovery mode. I followed the paths in the guide above in more detail using this path ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 under if device not recognized while in recovery mode) to alleviate the issue update is now installing appropriately ( i hope).
    I will update if everything works correctly

  • How do I uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS 4?

    If you are on a PC then you can uninstall one of two ways
    1) add / remove programs
    Go to Start --> control panel , now change the view to large icons, now near the top you should see "add / remove programs selct it
    in the list find Adobe Photoshop cc and click change/remove. this should start the setup program and give you options to remove it from the system.
    2) folders

  • How do I uninstall and reinstall the trial?

    I've downloaded PS CC and Bridge. It decided where to install itself, C:\Progam files. I can't work with anything with it there. I need to uninstall and reinstall without haveing to go through the long download wait. How do I do this?

    It decided where to install itself, C:\Progam files.
    On a Mac, and I have no reason to believe it being different on Windows, there is a moment in the procedure that lets you decide where to install it. Default is the standard application folder so if you missed this option for choice it will be installed there.
    I can't work with anything with it there. I need to uninstall and reinstall without haveing to go through the long download wait.
    Maybe the Windows guys will have a better idea but if you decide to use another drive to me the safest option would be an official uninstall and download the lot again. I don't know how it works on the PC but there are a lot of different components installed to various locations, moving the application folder to another folder is one thing, to another drive is maybe one step to far for consistent correct behavior of these pretty complicated applications.

  • How do I uninstall and reinstall CS3 after hard drive failure?

    Hi.  I suffered a recent hard drive failure on a Mac Pro.  I didn't have a backup, like a dummy.  The hard drive fails to boot so I installed OS on new blank hard drive and attempted to drag over whatever I could see and find from old drive onto the new one.  I tried to start CS3 after doing this but it gives me an error: "LIcensing for this product has stopped working.  You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact IT Admin or Adobe Customer support"  When I go to Utilities to find uninstall for Adobe the file is not there.  WHen I try to reinstall from disk it says "setup error; setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. COntact Adobe Customer service support for assistance".  I contacted them via chat and they told me they cannot help me and to post this issue here.  Is there a way to resolve this?  Am I just missing a file or something that will resolve the issue?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    You can't install applications like that. Use the original disks to
    install the software.

  • How do you uninstall and then re-install iMovie?

    I posted here last week about having trouble with iMovie and still can't figure out why it is being so lame... SO. I was thinking that I may just unload and then reinstall the program. Would anyone recommend that or is that a bad idea? I guess I will lose all the projects I've done thus far but I suppose it would be worth it to be able to use the program again! How would I go about doing this?

    ImportExportTools is good for saving/backup of your mail. For what you want, probably the zipped folders would be the easiest. You can export your address book(s) to a file (use LDIF; it's much easier to import later).
    However, these are only pieces of the profile. With TB NOT running, you can copy your entire profile to another location/medium just by doing a file copy. Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile I copy mine to a USB memory.
    When you uninstall and reinstall TB, you will not be changing your profile! So if you want a really clean start, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to create a new/clean profile. Don't delete your old one; you may need parts of it.
    If things are still 'wonky' after a new start, let me know.
