After updating iMovie, some clips missing/some in wrong project

After updating iMovie to 10.0.3, clips from various projects are intermingled.  In some projects, clilps are missing.  In others, there might be two clips from a different projects in the project. 
I took my MBAir and an external drive to the Apple Store for a One on One; the creative consult was baffled.  He said he'd just started, and had never seen this problem.  He gave me his name, asked me to make another appt, andto  ask for him.  He said he'd do some research.  In the meantime, he suggested I write the forum, see if anyone else had this problem, and if so what the fix might be?
In the meantime, any suggestions/ideas welcome.
Thanks, Hal

Quite a number of people are reporting clips disappearing fom events, especially if they have used the "Adjust date and Time" function, so  I am beginning to think that there is a real bug that has been introduced with iMovie 10.0.3. (I have not experienced this problem myself but I have not done much in iMovie since updating having moved on to FCP).
I have not heard before of clips moving to different projects though.   is your problem only with clips in the timelines or do they disappear from events completely?

    After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF  files missed . how should restore them?

    Your posted question is the key to your answer - sync them back to the iPad. You can still connect the iPad to your PC, launch iTunes, select your iPad name from the left side under devices - then go to the apps tab in iTunes and select all of the apps to sync again.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected as well. If you make changes to the app configuration, click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

  • After update iMovie and OS Yosemite recovery, iPhoto icon disappeared. How can I find photos stored on iPhoto?

    I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?

    Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
    Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library

  • After updating imovie with mavericks, clips added to a project no longer have an orange stripe. Any suggestions?

    When I add clips to a project in imovie, the used portions no longer have an orange stripe on them. I recently installed mavericks and updated imovie. I could not find a setting to enable or view this feature. Thanks for any suggestions.

    After using imovie some more after the update,  it may have to do with the location of clips and the project.  If the imovie project and the clip are saved in the same imovie library, the orange stripe appears when I add clips to a project.  If the movie project and the clip are not in the same imovie library, the orange stripe does not seem to show up. To make sure I can alway see the orange stripe for clips I have added to a project, I keep the clip and project in the same library. Hope this helps. 

  • FC Events & Projects folders on external HD, and some clips missing.

    Hello there,
    Searched for an answer, but nothing seems to be exactly my experience.
    To help my MBP perform better, I moved my FCP X "events" & "projects" folders to an external LaCie HD. Folks here say they should be at the "root". Unsure how to check that, but I do know they are at the lowest level of folder on the drive, with no other folders above them.
    Most clips show up in all the projects when FCP X is opened. But some don't; modifying event references with Inspector leads to the event not showing up at all, so I can't even move it to the top.
    Then tried to "import from camera" and open the LaCie drive as an archive. But when clicking on the proper event folder, the message appears, ""Intrvw-WendyEllen_20Jun11" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
    Original media files on HD are all still there from when I first imported into FCP X. Now the same files are duplicated in the FCP X "events" folder, which also got moved to the external HD. Choosing either folder gets the same message.
    According to the manual, the yellow alert triangle showing in the timeline means the event is missing.
    <complaint> FCP X isn't very intuitive or user friendly on directing it to see the proper files. If something is missing, why can't I just pick where FCP should look for those files? Why can't I recreate a new path to those files, of the original one was broken? I'm not keen on the Events & Projects folders _having_ to be _set in stone_ on the MBP's harddrive. Where those files lie should be a choice.</complaint>
    My system is 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM w/ Mac OS X 10.6.8. 
    Please let me know what I'm missing that FCP can no longer find the proper files. I'm sure it's something super easy, too obvious to figure out. In fact, if there's a way to ditch the "events' folder altogether & just have FCP X pull/render from the external HD files all the time, I'd love to learn that solution.
    Thanks in advance!

    You are correct about root ... no other folders above the FCP X folders is the way it's supposed to be.  I noticed that FCP X can get confused if you first opened up or created a project with the Final Cut Pro folders on your system drive then you try to make a copy of them on an external drive.  That is what I did at first also.  I would recommend moving your system drive Final Cut Pro X folders to a safe backup drive such as usb, etc then ejecting that drive.  Make sure they no longer exist on the system drive.  Then go to your external drive where you first copied them to and go into the Final Cut Projects folder. Then go into a folder that has the name of your project, or if you created "Folders" in FCP X to put your projects in then go into the folder that has the name of the folder you created within FCP X.  Within one of those will be a folder named after your project name you had assigned it in FCP X.  Inside that will be a file called CurrentVersion.fcpproject. Double click on that file, and Final Cut Project X will open with that project. In your Project Library window on the lower half of the display, over against the left you will see Macintosh HD, or whatever your system drive is called.  Under that will be the name of your external drive. Indented to the right slightly under your external drive will be the name of the project you have just loaded.  Just keep working in that one from now on without moving the old FCP X folders backing onto the system drive.  If you get some clips that are red meaning that FCP X can no longer find them, copy them from your original system drive or the Final Cut Events folder to the event name you had placed them in when you imported them into your project.  You can also simply find them and re-import them into FCP X and be done with it.  It has been my observation that you do not want to have two Final Cut Project or Events (or any of the other) FCP X folders on two drives that are active at the same time.  Best practice is to leave them off your system drive and put them on an external Firewire drive.  If you need to make a backup of them periodically, put a usb drive or another Firewire drive on your system WITHOUT GOING INTO FINAL CUT PRO X, and use Finder to simply copy the folders to the other drives as a backup ... then eject the backups.  You can then continue working in FCP X.  Sounds detailed, but the bottom line is FCP X does not seem to like two FCP X file systems on two attached drives at the same time.  At least that's the way it has seemed in my experience.  Hope this helps.

  • HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

    I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

    Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
    Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

  • Macbook Air 10.8.2 crashes after update. Gave a message "Some updates could not be performed due to an error"

    3 of our mid 2012 Macbook Airs10.8.2 crash after update. Gave a message something like this "Some updates could not be performed due to an error" and now when rebooting I see panic...Unable to find driver for this platform...
    I don't want to udate any more of these (I have 31) until I know what is causing this problem. Will I have to reimage these machines?

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

  • Some photos misses some EXIF data

    I'm wondering why some of the photos on my iPhone are missing some EXIF information like the date when the photo was taken or the GPS data.

    I have this same issue. It seems that more photos are being recorded without time/date and camera info than with this info.
    I hope someone can help us fix this issue asap!
    Thanks!

  • Delete iMovie Events, Projects, Sharing after update iMovie 10.0?

    After updating to iMovie 10.0 in Finder appears a 'iMovie-library' but the folders 'iMovie Events, Projects and Sharing' are still there too. These last folders are roughly same size as the new 'iMovie-library'. Can you delete these old folders? I could use the space!
    I have already updated my old library.
    Thanks in advance!

    I updated to Mavericks and the new iMovie last night as well as I have always been an early adopter. Unfortunately this time, I think I was a little too quick.
    From what I can tell, the new iMovie takes all old events and creates a new iMovie library. I believe if you wanted to, you could potentially revert back via time machine and grab the old imovie back and use the old events and projects folders? Can someone please confirm? I would like to do this.
    After I did my upgrade, I was left with to iMovie events libraries. One was called iMovie events and the other imovie events 1. The second one is my old library that resides on my external thunderbolt drive where I would like to keep it. The iMovie theater folder was also added but inside the Movies folder on my internal drive. I don't want that either.
    I usually adopt pretty quickly to iMovie changes but at this point it might have finally pushed me to Final Cut Pro X, to get back that iMovie linear "feel". I can't see anything at all anymore in the new iMovie that shows any time line and ease of use.
    Cheers

  • Looking through pictures make iphoto take pauses every 3 or 4 picture,this started after update fro 4 of april.What is wrong??

    Hi..
    I have been using Iphoto and Aperture a few years.Both programs has been improoved several times during last years,but after update on 4 of april 2013 something changes in surch a negative way that fustration comes too surface too often. When I am out photographing,I will have too look through my pictures.When you have f.instance 200 pictures to view and program take pauses all the time,you get fed-up and dont get the job done.I hope Apple can improove program soon,My camera is a Nikon D800...Tom

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    btw A space between the full stop and the next sentence makes it easier to read.

  • Why are some clips missing after migrating to my new Mac?

    My old Macbook Pro died so I got a new one and have migrated my data to the new one from a Time Machine backup. However, after doing this iMovie is telling me a lot of clips are missing. Many of them are still in tact, but in a lot of cases I see a message like: Missing File "clip-2012-09-13 07;52;06 (id)" is missing. Try reimporting the original source media. I'm using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite (on both the old and new Mac).
    Can anybody tell me how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    If it matters, I have a Canon camcorder and imported the clips using a firewire cable. The external drive is connected via a second firewire cord to the other firewire port.

  • Satellite A300-1EG - after upgrade to Vista Premium missing some options

    Floor of year back I have bought the laptop Toshiba SATELLITE A300-1EG (Short Model No PSAG4E) . Because of some problems it was necessary to reinstall Windows.
    When bought in the laptop stood Windows Vista Home. Now to me have established Windows Vista Ultimate. A problem with some drivers, I can not adjust brightness and sharpness of the screen, and screen prompts do not work. Writes "or for screen prompt the updated video card is required, or the video card compatible with Direct3D" is required.
    Help please!

    Hello
    This sound like that you have forgotten to install the display driver or did you install it?
    I think you should visit the Toshiba European website and download the display driver:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    It should not be a problem to install it. Just follow the screen instructions. ;)
