All of a sudden I can't grab or split clips. Any idea what I did or how to fix it?

I've been using iMovie all day and all of last night with no problem. But now when I try to select clips to put into the project, it won't let me grab them. Also, I can't even move around the clips that I already have in the project. I can still copy/paste but it's ridiculously tedious - please help, it is so frustrating!

Have you tried shutting down iMovie and restarting your Mac?
This sounds like a memory issue. Restarting your Mac will give you fresh memory.
If that does not work try trashing preferences.

  • HT5622 iPad 3 and my sound has stopped from speakers, but can get from headphones.  It's not the side switch and the volume is max in all areas.  Anyone got any ideas, what problem is and how to fix it thanks

    Hi,
    My iPad has just stopped working with sound from the speakers, it works fine with the headphones in.  The soft mute button is not made and the volume is at max.
    Any ideas what problem is and how to sort.  Thanks

    System sounds can be muted from the software switch in the task bar as well as from the side switch depending on how you have it set up. This my boilerplate resonse for sound issues.
    1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    3. If you still have no sound at all - except when using headphones ....try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

  • I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
    You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
    Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
    Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
    If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

    Do you see them at iCloud.com
    Do you think you could have done anything that might have caused this, if not then it might be best waiting a while in case they just come back.

  • All of a sudden I can no longer toggle or clip angles in multiclip sequence

    Hi,
    I've got a project with a number of sequences, videos, angles, etc and all of a sudden I can no longer toggle between angles in the sequence timeline. It was working last night and then stopped and it's still unresponsive. Every time I click to switch an angle or cut to an angle I get the alert beep.
    I am not out of disk space and haven't changed any settings as far as I am aware of.
    Thanks

    Not sure what the deal is...have you added any new software or upgraded/updated anything since this started?
    Have you tried opening an autosave version, to see if it works there?
    Trashed prefs, run disk utility?
    I'm not sure I've ever heard an 'alert beep', so would wonder if the drive is failing.
    Can you be a little more explicit about exactly how it 'stopped working'...were you right in the middle of working on it, or had you stepped away for a bit?
    Have you tried shutting down, then rebooting after 15-20 minutes?

  • All of a sudden I can not receive text messages on my MOTOX. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I can send them, but can't receive them.

    My MOTO X was working fine, then all of a sudden, I can not receive text messages. I have checked the settings and they look correct to me, and I have done everything the web site recommends, except wiping the phone and starting over, to try and fix it. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it?
    Thanks so much.

        That's strange that your Moto X wont receive any text. Thank you for trouble shooting the issue. Let's see what's going on! Does your device have any physical or liquid damage? Does anyone else have an issue with calling or texting? What zip code are you in?

  • All of a sudden iMovie can't find half my clips in this proj...?

    I sit down yesterday morning and start making a new movie in iMovie 10.0.1. I get about six minutes done, using maybe 15 clips. I quit iMovie and come back this morning to continue, but now it can't find half the clips in the project that worked just fine YESTERDAY. I am pulling the clips from different events in my iPhoto library. I have deleted nothing from there and have not edited these libraries in any way since I last worked on the project, yesterday.

  • Can't find assembly System?  Any idea what this is about?

    I have been troubleshooting this all morning. It is a simple extension function that appears to error unable to find system.dll. This is .net 4.0 / OPA 10.3 and the error makes no sense. Can another pair of eyes look at this and try to figure out why the error is occurring?
    Thank you.
    The Error:
    System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

    at Oracle.Determinations.Engine.Local.Eval.ExpressionCustomFunction.EvaluateSlice(LocalEntityInstance instance, ChangePointDate startDate, ChangePointDate endDate, Object[] Params, Relevance[] relevance)
    The extension.xml:
    <extension>
    <functions>
    <function name="TestRegEx" return-type="boolean">
    <arg name="entered-name" type="text"/>
    <arg name="entered-regex" type="text"/>
    <handler platform="dotnet"
    class="Oracle.Determinations.Text.TestRegEx.TestRegEx"/>
    </function>
    </functions>
    </extension>
    The java class:
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using Oracle.Determinations.Engine;
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
    namespace Oracle.Determinations.Text.TestRegEx
    public class TestRegEx : CustomFunction
    public override Object Evaluate(EntityInstance entityInstance, object[] objects)
    Regex regex = new Regex((string)objects[1]);
    return regex.IsMatch((string)objects[0]);
    }

    The System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace only exists in the .NET 4 framework. What application are you running? Oracle Policy Modeling 10.3 is a .NET 2 application, so it will load the Determinations Engine into the .NET 2 framework, not the .NET 4 framework.

  • I am trying to upgrade my hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far, just before cloning may start and receive an "error 254" and can go no further.  Any idea what this error is?

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

    I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
    Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
    Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
