A step backwards if it doesn't work.....

I have tried several times to update my projects and events to the new iMovie but without success.  After a few minutes it just closes down. What, if anything, am I doing wrong? Luckily most of the older projects are completed but some still need a few tweaks and, bearing in mind the length of the projects and the time it took to assemble them, I do not want to start again.

You have several options.  Here are a couple:
1. If you already have DVDs of these projects, you can create a disk image in Disk Utility, then burn that to a DVD whenever you need a copy.
2. In the old iMovie, Share your project to the Media Browser, choosing "Large" for size. When the Share is finished, go to your Projects folder in the Finder and locate your project. Right click (or Control click) on the project and choose "Show Package Contents." In there you will find a folder called "Movies." In that folder there will be a file called "Large.m4v." Copy and paste this to a new location and rename it with a meaningful name. Do this for all your projects.
Delete all your projects from within iMovie.
Now, whenever you need a DVD of one of your movie projects, go to iDVD, create a new project, go to File>Import and import the m4v file for the movie in question. Finish preparing the DVD project and then burn it.
Option 2 is what I've done with all my projects. All 122 of them. :-)

    I read all of this, and did each step and mine still doesn't work. It still says "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application". What's next?

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • Moving backward and forward doesn't work as it used to do

    The latest update, 32.0.2, or perhaps the one earlier, 32.0.1, has created a problem with Fx.
    Moving backward and forward doesn't work as it used to do; and if it is done quickly, backward and then forward again to the last page, Fx gets confused and both pages get the same address and the browser shows the same page.
    Guess it has something to do with the latest changes to how Fx handles the cache, or that in combination with how some pages use scripts.
    As it is it can be a pain to use sometimes.

    Are you able to switch songs from control center when Spotify is playing on your phone?
    If you have Spotify playing on your computer then it won't show in control center on your phone. You will have to open up the app to control music on your computer. 
    This is because iOS does not show anything on the control center unless an app is outputing audio. The Spotify app is not outputing audio, it only shows what is playing on your computer.
    Does that make sense?

  • Step Backward keyboard shortcut not working, infurating!

    Running the latest Photoshop CS6 on Mac and the Step Backward keyboard shorcut does not work at all. Command-Z works fine; Command-Option-Z does nothing. I don't believe I'm running any custom keyboard apps that would interfere, and when I check Photoshop's Keyboard Shortcuts it's right there (correctly set as the default). Has anyone else run into this problem before? Thanks for any insights!

    Hi Noel,
    More than just about anyone else, you're the guy who walked me kicking and screaming into digital sensibilities via the once excellent and much lamented Rob Galbraith forums. Thanks!
    I used to do as you suggested, but having two identically specced PC's has  important functions in my studio. An assistant can work right next to me to speed through a project, I can roll to my left to PC-2 when PC-1 is doing a long, resourse intensive batch process. Vitally, if one system goes down, I can just roll across and keep working with very little lost work as all work is being saved pretty much on the fly to a very fast & secure Synology NAS. This setup saved my backside just one week ago. I've learned the hard way that major system crashes are not just a possibility, they're a certainty. Thus, my insurance...

  • ITunes forcing iPod restore that doesn't work...

    Ever since I upgraded to the new iTunes, when I plug in my iPod nano, iTunes give a message that "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". So I restore it, and it restarts and the whole thing starts again! With the exact message and the exact same process.
    I've tried Apple's 5-step process, but that doesn't work, so now I'm stuck with an empty iPod that doesn't load.
    Any ideas???

    IT's the new version of I tunes. Theres something screwy with 7.6 I got the new 80 gig Ipod classic with video. I updated I tunes, and then uploaded my music. Everything was fine until i updated my ipod with more music that i had. A few hours later I was listening to music when all of a sudden it stopped playing. I looked and My I pod had frozen. So I did a reset and then it came up to the thing were it says it needs to be restored. I've done that like twenty times and it still says the same **** thing...
    A piece of advice... don't listen to anyone who tells you to change the drive letter (it tells you how to on this site as well) it doesn't work.
    Do try to restore on a friends Itunes that is prior to 7.6. I hear that really works.

  • HT4527 I want to move all my iTunes from old PC to new PC but Home Sharing on both and it works.  At Step 11, I clicked Home Sharing Import button doesn't work.

    Help!  I want to move all my iTunes music, podcasts, etc. from an old PC to a new PC. I set up Home Sharing on both and it works.  I followed the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 to the letter.  At Step 11, I clicked on Home Sharing on my new PC, then Edit > Select All so I could then import everything to the new computer.  No matter what I try, the Import button doesn't work.  There are two buttons on the lower right hand side of the iTunes screen - one for Settings and one for Import.  The Settings button is clickable but the Import button isn't even live.  In other words, I can see it but not click on it.  I have double-checked my firewall and it is not the problem.  How can I get the Import button to work? 

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Step backward hotkey not working while using brush tool? - Photoshop CC 2014

    Hi,
    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 in Mavericks. I've tried using the step backward hotkey (command+option+z) and it seems to work fine. Then I use the brush tool and it stops working until I switch to another tool. I'm a digital artist, so I move very quickly while painting, and switching out of the brush tool to step backward on something slows me down terribly. I'll switch and the hotkey works as intended. I've tried changing it to a different set of keys (for example command+z) with the same results. Is this a bug or a feature?

    Usually it turns out for tablets that aren't mainstream that they just haven't updated their drivers to work with photoshop cc.
    For example, most people don't have problems with wacom tablets in photoshop cc.
    One other thing that could possibly be the cause besides the tablet driver is your graphics card driver.
    If in photoshop cc you go to Edit>Preferences>Performance and turn off Use Graphics Processor and then restart photoshop cc, does that make a difference?
    If it does then perhaps your graphics card driver needs to be updated from the maker of the card.

    We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone.  But Apple can.  Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

  • Step Backward Not Always Working with Brush Tool

    I'm usually painting in photoshop and I undo a lot using the Opt+Cmd+Z shortcut. It works about 4/5 times I do it, but sometimes it just stops working. I either need to switch to a different tool, so just make a random brush stroke on the canvas and then it will start working again. Does anyone have a fix for this?

    I'm using Photoshop CC on Mac OSX. The problem I'm having is not the inability to step backwards--I can get it to work by making a random brush stroke and then it will work again--but since it happens after every four or five "step backwards" commands it is really slowing my workflow. I'm constantly redoing lines multiple times in a few seconds when I'm drawing and it's really getting annoying.

  • Undo/Step Backward will not work?

    I've repeatedly tried to change the settings for Undo and Step Backwards to Command + Z and Command + Opt + Z respectively, though neither work. The setting changes don't save, either. What's wrong? Undo and Step Backward both haven't worked since the start.
    What's with the not equals sign? I've followed all that I can with no results and it's driving me up the wall. I just want to be able to use these without having to erase every line as I go! Haha.

    Thanks for the explanation.
    However, I am still puzzled as to how the programme can detect lack of time code when the tape was not even rewound or played. I belive the time code is written on the tape.
    Anyway, I tried iMovie and found that the programme detects the camera and controls it. However, it does not recognise the downconverted DV signal. When I turned the DV conversion off, the video was detected and imported using MagicMovie in HD. I still have not gone round to burning on a DVD. ( I only read the article mentioned by Sue after having tried the iMovie programme - somehow the link that was so clearly stated in the reply missed my notice earlier on).
    I have actually recorded the downconverted DV video on a standalone Phillips DVD recorder but the DVD only plays in that recorder and my Mac DVD Player even tho I have finalised the +R disk. The same problem occurs with a +RW disk.
    I appreciate the replies and the explanations. Thanks.

  • TS1277 HI. I have followed all the appropriate steps above and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user

    HI.
    I am having trouble authorising my Mac Air to my Itunes account. I found a discussion explaining how to go go into 'Terminal', then adding a command. I have followed all those appropriate steps and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user. Can anybody offer any suggestions?? ta

    Does the command that you're trying to enter in Terminal begin with the word 'sudo'?
    If so, your keyboard is working fine. When you type your password after a sudo command, nothing is echoed to the screen for security reasons (not even the * that are normally registered in other user interfaces). However, the program is registering what you type.
    Just type your password and press 'return' and the command will be executed (so long as you type it correctly; if you don't, you'll get an error message).

  • Lion is a step backwards

    Lion is a step backwards that appears to indicate a philosophical switch towards dumbing down. I realize there's lots of Mac newbies coming from iPads, iPhones, and iPods. I have no problem simplifying things for the masses, but why make the Mac OS less useful for your loyal power users? Why can am I no longer make the choices I once did? Lion makes me feel like I'm on Windows. I can only do things the way I'm allow me to, and I now must conform unlike before. I used to be able to configure my Macs to work the way I want them to. No more. A few examples:
    1. I cannot assign apps to spaces. Those settings are gone. As a result, I have apps on top of each other which I hate. Even if drag one from one desktop to another within Mission Control, they eventually wind up on top of each other. Going full screen with the apps that can do that just creates other irritants. Why take away this control? How is it an improvement not allowing me to use my computer the way I want? I hate Mission Control because I have no control over it. This is a major issue for me.
    2. I cannot access the dock from a full screen app. It doesn't show when my nearly ten year habit occurs. As a result, what once took a single click can take up to 5 gestures to get to the app I want. Thank God Apple hasn't taken away command+tab. Why throw away an ability I've used since 10.0? How is this better?
    3. My home library folder is now hidden. I must be stupid and in need of protection from myself. Is Apple sure we will NEVER have to toss a corrupt preference file again? Yes there are work arounds, but why hide something the masses rarely messed with in the first place? At least add a "make visible" check box within Info for those of us who know what we're doing.
    4. I like my devices at the top of my Finder windows because I have a lot of networked devices, but I'm FORCED to have them only at the bottom. Why can't I arrange my sidebar the way I want? This just feels like change for the sake of change without giving me any choice.
    5. Many .dmgs open their own window for easy drag and drop installations. Once done, I always clicked the button in the upper right to show the sidebar to eject the .dmg. Gone! Why is it better for me to have to switch windows or go to the desktop to eject a .dmg? Why are extra steps better?
    I'll quit here, but all of this suggests a philosophical shift that assumes I can no longer be trusted to configure my Macs to run the way I want. This appears to be the beginning of the end of what made Macs so great. Lion is a step backwards for the faithful.

    That is true. I can't speculate on Apple thoughts on this issue. I can say that many applications had problems with Spaces and it was the source of many complaints. Apple listened and tried to make a change that would be useful to more people. Unfortunately, those few people who were using Spaces effectively are now out of luck.
    2. I cannot access the dock from a full screen app.
    Full screen mode is designed to isolate you from the system. If you really want to access the Dock, you have to mean it. Move the mouse to where the Dock should be. Then, try to go further. The Dock should then appear.
    3. My home library folder is now hidden.
    That is true. Apple is trying to discourge people from going in there. Most people will only do harm. This is certainly a work in progress. On day 1 of Lion's release, one of my first posts was to instruct someone to go in and delete some Dock preference files for a corrupted LaunchPad. In the Finder, just type Shift ⌘ g and enter "~/Library".
    4. I like my devices at the top of my Finder windows because I have a lot of networked devices, but I'm FORCED to have them only at the bottom. Why can't I arrange my sidebar the way I want?
    I think Apple is trying to move the OS towards more document-centric use rather than dumping them right into the root of the file system. I'm sure there are many ways to give you the same functionality. I suggest starting a new thread for that question.
    5. Many .dmgs open their own window for easy drag and drop installations. Once done, I always clicked the button in the upper right to show the sidebar to eject the .dmg. Gone! Why is it better for me to have to switch windows or go to the desktop to eject a .dmg? Why are extra steps better?
    You can eject it from the File menu or with ⌘ e.
    I'll quit here, but all of this suggests a philosophical shift that assumes I can no longer be trusted to configure my Macs to run the way I want.
    Apple trusts you. It is the other 40 million unwashed they don't trust. The sad? fact is that Apple is getting more popular now than it has ever been. Apple is trying ways to make the system easy enough for Windows or even Linux users to use. Old timers like us, used to working in a certain way, need to adapt. You don't have to do everything Apple's way. There are alternatives even to the Finder. Just give it some time and explore some new ways of doing thing.
