Would someone PLEASE help me?!?

I was working on what amounted to a 4 hour slideshow. Months of work. I saved the project, but first emptied the trash as I've always done. This time it froze in mid save for a solid 12 minutes. Assuming that at the very least it would've saved my most recent version (I only changed 2 pictures!) I had no recourse but to "force quit." When I attempted to open the file again & redo the changes I'd just done, the machine said that there were some "missing files that would be skipped. click OK or 'skip all' to continue." Whenever I did that, an error message would pop up saying that "iMovie quit unexpectedly. Report error to Apple..." iMovie won't open the project, or stay on. It'll open other projects, but not this one! Is there any way of retrieving the saved version prior to the changes I made today? I don't know where to look and the prospect of starting months and months of work from scratch has me sick to my stomach. So many fade ins/outs, cross dissolves, wash ins/outs... The truly sickening thing is that the 2 pictures I changed were the final changes. If it'd saved properly there would've been nothing more to do! I do hope that someone will get back to me with some encouraging news.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex
I whished I could be encouraging. But my main message is:
DO NEVER TUCH - Trash basket in iMovie in any version.
a. In many versions it is destruktive
b. It nevers saves up anything alike the figure written at it.
c. I've sent several feed-backs to Apple to just delete it.
• No use-full information
• No save use at all
Hopefully someone with mor knowledge can help You to restore Your project.
I can't and are doubtful.
I would start a new project from scratch not tuching the old one before somone
comes by and have "Super knowledge"
*Next stone that You might stumble over is:* Send/Share/Export to iDVD
• This function is also lethal:
• The DVD will be severely pixelated
• The Original iMovie project will also be HARMED and in need of beeing re-done.
I do: When done in iMovie I close it.
Open iDVD
In iDVD import the iMovie movie project (icon with a Star on it)
Now iDVD will do the rendering and so much better and without harming Your original.
Yours Bengt W

    The action menu can be restored by, in the Finder, selecting under View menu "Customize Toolbar ...". There you will see options to put the action menu (wheel) back on your toolbar.

  • Would someone please help me with Right Click or left click on my mouse

    Hi I am trying to use one of the side mouse keys to bring up the menu as if I am hitting the control key. I have changed them to secondary with no luck. I have read several post and still I cant find it. Looking at the apple site it says to change it to secondary and it will function like a PC but no luck. Please help;)

    Looking at your info, it looks like you have a Mighty Mouse by Apple, and are new to the OS… in which case follow these instructions.
    1) Click on the Apple Menu in the top-left hand corner.
    2) Select "System Preferences".
    3) Select "Keyboard and Mouse" from the Hardware category.
    4) Click on "Mouse" in the window's toolbar.
    5) Find the Button you wish to change.
    6) Follow the line from that button to the selection box.
    7) Click on the selection box and select "Secondary Button".
    That button is now set to your Secondary Button! If you have any trouble using this function, reply to me!
    NOTE: If you have a 3rd Party Mouse, you may want to check their support site or driver software.

  • Would someone please help me figure out why Time Machine has stopped backing up?

    Hi, I am a Macbook Pro User running 10.6.8.  I recently moved all of my photos, music and videos over to a 1TB Western Digital HD that I attach via usb.  I believe that this is when the problem started.  When I enter Time Machine, the last backup was on Feb. 17th, which I believe might have been the date that I moved everything..  Thankfully, I just happened to catch that my 2TB iomega HD that I had been using with Time Machine was no longer working, even though I have received no indication otherwise.  I've poured over many queries on this site, as well as many others.  I've tried deleting the TM plist file in my main file folder to no avail, reset TM and reselected the backup disc as well, but nothing seems to correct the problem.  I have noticed, incidentally (or not), that my first backup date was one day short of a year before the last one.  Maybe just a coincidence, maybe not, but worth noting, I thought.
    I just tried a backup, and got this from Console:
    Apr 18 14:50:07 Doyle-Hinsons-MacBook-Pro com.apple.backupd[1399]: Starting standard backup

    I'm a bit of a novice at this, so explanations in laymen's terms would be greatly appreciated, and I express my deepest appreciation in advance to anyone willing to try and help.
    Many thanks!

    Thanks for your response, Linc.  I have everything important to me i.e. pics, music, files, etc backed up elsewhere.  Being that this is the backup drive I've used since the beginning, do I need to worry about losing other data that is on the drive, if I plan on backing up with a different one?  In other words, is there irreplaceable data on the drive that a new backup won't be able to replace (data that's imperative to my computer's functions)?  Thanks again!

  • I am stuck...would someone please help?

    i recently took home a quicksilver g4 from the office, did a complete erase and restore with the startup discs so i could erase some patients files permanently, and now the keyboard does not work. well..actually the mouse will move but will not activate anything..
    ive tried restarting..even putting the software restore cd in the tray...when the computer starts again that file is open but again, the mouse wont do anything but move.
    i also switched the usb port...no avail...
    any ideas, please?

    First, the drive problem. Check to make sure you re-connected all the cables properly after following Bryant's advice.
    I've had times when a PMU reset has not taken. I woud unplug the computer and remove the PRAM battery and let it sit for a long while. Put the battery back in and plug it in and try a reset again. Make sure you hold the button long enough (15 seconds).
    Here is a good link.

    Like the others I think a reset is your best bet.

  • Would someone please help me find my misplace iCloud Icons?

    I seem to have lost the ones for my mac and my iPhone.  I did not set up iCloud as soon as was offered and so probably took them off to avoid confusion.  Now I'm confused.  Thanks in advance.

    iCloud icons? Do you mean app icons for iCloud?  If so then I don't believe there are any.  You configure iCloud in System Preferences on the Mac and in Settings on your iOS devices.  You can also go to www.icloud.com to access mail, calendar, etc.

  • All of my Iphone stopped working on the left side so i thought i would restore it but when i did it wont connect back up to itunes so i can get everything baack, it wont even turn back on:( - someone please help!

    someone please help me out, i really need my phone:(!

    The update did not do anything.
    AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
    The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
    Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

  • Songs in Ipod but not in itunes library. no option to back up so i can restore. Will someone please help me?

    Ok, see, i was dowloading some songs off of http://www.youtube-mp3.org. I dragged the songs into my itunes library, but when i looked, they weren't in there. so i looked at my ipod and the songs i downloaded were on it! i dont know how either! i tried to back up my downloaded songs so i could restore it to see if that would help, but there wasn't an option for me to back up my ipod when i right clicked on it. i looked atsome of the other forums about the "AppData" solution. it said to delete the corrupted file if there was one, but i dont know what to look for. can someone please help me? this is driving me crazy.

  • How can I keep my apps to stay on my phone everytime I have to backup instead of having to restore them everytime theres an update? Also, would someone PLEASE explain iCloud to me! I have yet to have it work out!!

    I purchased the 4S for my husband and I. After having the phone sit in the box for 2 weeks, I finally decided to have it activated. Once it was activated the person I spoke with on the phone de-activated my 3GS without even telling me to back up! So here I am with out having anything backed up to itunes or icloud and this person, has no clue about what shes telling me to do! 3 hours and 2 different people later, I find that I have to sync my 3GS to itunes to back it up there and re-store it to my 4S because no one I spoke with on the phone had no clue as to why the progress bar when backing up on iCloud through my phone didnt move after like 10 mins.
    Can someone please help me understand what is being done wrong?
    Let me also add in that everytime there is an update, I have to manually put all 160 apps from my itunes on my laptop back to my iphone!! This so frustrating!
    Yes, I have gone to the Apple store and have had a one on one course with someone at the "genius bar" and they all say the same, "once we back it up to your icloud, you will never have to sync your phone with itunes again, you will be able to do this wirelessly"
    I have yet to have that happen
    Please help!

    So what I've done was delete all existing apps in my new Macbook and transferred all apps from my old PC to the new one. It was successful...until I try to sync it. This message comes up:
    This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPod “Lauren”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If you do not authorize this computer, 137 apps, including “...™”, and their data will be deleted from this iPod.
    So I have all apps on my iPod and my Macbook. Only problem is the Macbook cannot be authorized so whenever I try to sync them, it "threatens" to delete all "unauthorized" apps from my iPod.
    Oh, and if I continue, I'm guessing those apps and their would really be gone from my iPod, but will they stay on my Macbook and sync the next time I try to sync them? Though if that works I still bet I will lose all data from my apps...

  • (sigh) Can someone please help??? I'm ready to throw in the towel on my SECOND Mic

    So my first Zen Micro froze on me. No amount of tech support could save it. I returned it and received a new replacement. Within days my replacement had begun to freeze, and I would bravely pull out the battery and reboot it. I think (keep your fingers crossed) that I've unstuck whatever that bug was. NOW - my new issue - the dreaded "No license to play - please sync from PC" error. So, reluctantly, I downloaded the 2..05 Beta firmware, which as far as I understood it, resolved this issue specifically. After a successful download and install, I rebooted in hopes that it would be fixed. Well, it's still giving me the error. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. And I am down to one download on all of my Napster 2 Go songs (due to the same problem on my first Micro). So I have three choices:
    ) Ask all of you what I can to do get this resolved easily.
    2) Delete my entire library, and use my last sync license and load it all onto my Micro again (which is a good hour project)
    3) Gi've up an buy an iPod. I am pulling out my hair in frustration, and I'm telling you... I always felt the same way you all did about Apple and the iPod. But the reality is, NONE of my friends have my harware/software issues. All I ask for is two consecuti've weeks of listening to my MP3 player without license issues, frozen hard dri'ves, reboots, pulling out the battery numerous times, etc. I just want to listen.... turn it off.... and know that it will turn back on again when I want it to.
    Someone please help, and convince me that I should give this one last shot!!

    Well, it's perfectly understandable that your iPod-bearing friends don't have issues with N2Go, because they can't use it!
    So I guess you have to determine whether your problems lie with the actual player or the N2Go service.
    Do you have problems playing/synching songs you've ripped yourself or that you've bought from a service other than N2Go?

  • I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

    Hello,

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
