IMovie crashed now .rcproject file doesn't show in library/project list and won't open.

URGENT PROJECT DUE TODAY.
iMovie crashed while I was working on a project, now I can't c the file in iMovie, however I can see it in Finder and moved to the movie folder, but it still doesn't show in my iMovie library or project list and nothing will open it.  It is listed as a .rcproject and I cannot find how to open it.  PLZ PLZ HELP

Were you working with iMovie 9 or 10 when you had the crash?
It sounds like you were in iMovie 10 trying to update your iMovie 9 projects into iMovie 10.
If you were working in iMovie 10, see if you can still see everything with iMovie 9.0.9 (the 2 versions have completely different media file structures).
If you were in iMovie 9 it sounds as if the .rcproject package may have got corrupted.  You can look inside the package in Finder with the "show package contants" contextual menu but I would not know how to repair it manually. 
Do you have a backup or are you running time machine?  With a backup you should be able to replace the offending package with a working version.

    Same here.  I don't know how to solve the problem, but I figured out a way to close the app without re-starting or resetting the phone.  If you click ok and then press the home button twice really fast before the dialog box shows back up, you can put the phone in multi-tasking mode and close the app without having the shut the phone off or reset it.  Anxiously awaiting the fix for this since I have several apps I use that I can access at the moment.

    It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
    1. What OS are you running.
    To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
    2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
    To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
    Version number:
    Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?

  • I have 2 itunes libraries on my macbook, but can only access one. The itunes library file for the inaccessible library is subdued and won't open. Help?

    When I select "Choose Library" the itunes library file is subdued.  I copied the library file off of Time Machine and put it back in itunes, but it remains subdued.  I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4.1. Help?

    I too had this problem and have solved it. After upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1 (Running OS X 10.6.8) I could no longer select library files. Previously, I would launch iTunes with the option key down to trigger the "Choose Library" dialog box. I have three libraries, each of them stored in separate iTunes folder within my user:music folder. I would then double-click on a given folder to open it and then double-click on the library file. After the 10.4.1 upgrade the library files were grayed out (not selectable). The problem was resolved by changing what and how I selected. When the three iTunes folders were displayed I clicked once on a folder to select it (instead of double-clicking to open it) and then clicked the "open" button in the dialog box. This resulted was iTunes launched with the library file contained in that folder.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Dragged I movie on my Mac to flashdrive Now it doesn't show on the flashdrive or I can't open it on the Mac. How do I retreive my work

    I dragged I Movie from my I Mac to a flashdrive. Now it doesn't show on the flashdrive or I can't open it on the Mac. How do I retrieve the work?? Help

    If you only dragged it, it should make a copy so it should still be on your hard drive.
    It isn't clear if you dragged iMovie (the application itself) or your movie project. Which one is it?
    How is the "flashdrive" formatted?

  • I didn't safely eject my external hard-drive and now my files are not showing up on my other computer?

    I didn't safely eject my external hard-drive as my imac was in sleep mode and I thought it was shut-down. Now I have turned up to uni and plugged my hard-drive into the uni computers (apple) and the word document I was working on last night (before my computer went to sleep mode, and it may still have been open, I cant remember) is gone.....
    I have phoned home and got a family member to try and recover the file. They said they can see it when they open Word under recent documents, however its "ghost" and nothing happens when you click on it.
    My question is, when I go home and plug my hard-drive back into my imac, will I be able to recover this word file? or have I lost it forever?

    I only saved it to my external hard-drive and saved it at the completion of working on it. However left the document open, went to dinner, and this morning pulled the hard-drive out, whilst the computer was asleep not shut-down and now the file doesn't appear.
    I thought when I clicked save then it saved straight away, therefore anything i do after that point (ie a un safe ejection) shouldn't make a difference. Clearly, no matter if you saved the document, if you un-safely eject the hard-drive then the file is lost anyway?

  • UITextField from .xib file doesn't show

    A UITextField from .xib file doesn't show when it's page comes up on the iPhone simulator.
    The View looks fine in Interface Builder, and no warnings are thrown to Console or IB's Info window.
    On the Simulator the View comes up and a Label and a Switch show, but not a UITextField. The Objects are on the same row and their bounds are all appropriate.
    I don't see anything in the Text Field Attributes of IB that is problematic, plus I've probably tried all combinations of settings. In Connections there is a reference to a File's Owner attribute.
    I have been able to create a UITextField programmatically.

    Worked around the problem by deleting the UITextField from the .xib and re-creating it.

  • I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.

    I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.  I assume that I have to reconfigure them to the the new wireless but how do I do this frmo my PC?  Thanks

    I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on each of your AirPort Express base stations. Once completed, you can use the following Apple Support article to configure each base station for streaming.

  • I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC.  I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it.  These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

    I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

    You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

  • I downloaded the new version of iTunes and now over 100 songs have an exclamation mark beside them and won't play. The message says: "The song ... could not be used because the original file could not be found." How do I get these songs back?

    Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
    Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
    For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.

  • I've just purchased the photographer's package, but the download for Lr doesn't show in my app list?

    I've just purchased the photographer's package, but the download button for Lightroom doesn't show in my app list. How come?
    I've checked everything and my computer system should be able to run it perfectly.

    From what I can tell you won't be presented with apps Adobe thinks are not compatible with your system but I don't see why that would be true in your case. It is supposed to be possible to download the trial and then convert it to the cloud. Maybe you can try that. Here are the instructions for Photoshop. Hopefully it's similar for Lightroom. The link for Lightroom instructions on this page just goes to the same page.

  • How come Mac OS X's Software Update doesn't show a total time ETA and size?

    Hello.
    I noticed when downloading big updates from Mac OS X 10.5's Software Update, it doesn't show the TOTAL time left and size. It only shows the individual updates (e.g., iTunes). Is there a way to show the totals especially when downloading takes forever?
    Thank you in advance.

    Well not in Software Update, but if you download standalone updates directly from Apple's download site - support.apple.com/downloads/ - using Safari then you will get that information reported in the browser's download manager. However, Software Update does report the size of each listed update.
    Yeah, I wanted to know the total of all updates since some updates are so huge. Like Java update 5 is like over 160 MB! Add iTunes and others! Yikes.
