Can I delete movies in iMovie Sharing folder?

Hi.  I am using iMovie 11 with OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro.  When I complete a Project in iMovie, I publish it to iTunes using the Share > iTunes command from the main iMovie menu.  I have noticed that this creates two copies of the movie, one within iMovie in the Movies > iMovie Sharing > iTunes folder (let's call this location A), and the other in the iTunes > iTunes Media > Movies folder (location B).  Therefore, it seems that there are two copies of every finished movie on my computer.  Question: After publishing the movie to iTunes, can I delete the copy in location A?  Will this have any negative consequences if I later choose to edit the Project and re-publish the movie to iTunes?
The movie in location A is on my internal drive, and the movie in location B is on an external drive (where all my iTunes media content is located). I fully back up both drives to another external drive 2-3 times per week, so I do not need the movie in location A for back-up purposes.
By the way, when I sync the movie to my iPad (from iTunes) or watch it on my Apple TV (again, from iTunes), I believe iTunes is pulling the content from location B.
Thank you

  • Can i delete movies from imovie library??

    where is this done?  seems simple but i can't find it....

    Sorry - missed Tom's post before posting this, but here goes anyway
    To delete an Event, right-click (or Control-click) on the name of the Event in the Events Library. From the pop-up menu select "Move Event to Trash". Otherwise, click on the Event and from the menu select File>Move Event to Trash. But, be aware that doing this will cause any associated Projects to lose their links to the Event clips. Projects don't contain video, but simply reference the clips in the Events (as well as containing information about transitions, titles, music and so forth).
    To delete the Event permanently from your hard disk and free up space, click the Desktop outside of the iMovie window to see the Finder menus at the top of your computer screen, and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.
    To delete a Project, the procedure is the same. In Project Library view (where you see all your Projects listed), right-click on the Project name and select "Move Project to Trash" - or File>Move Project to Trash. In Finder empty the Trash after doing this.
    If you are looking to delete part of an Event, either whole clips or portions of clips, you have to mark them as rejected first. If you need information on the full procedure, please come back. Otherwise, check out iMovie Help and search on the topic "Delete unwanted video clips from an Event".
    NOTE: All this can be found in iMovie Help (accessible from iMovie's menu).

  • Can't delete, move, or rename a folder

    I have two stubborn FOLDERS in documents that when deleted, moved or renamed will revert back to it original name and location when I restart my computer. The first folder is "deliveries" in it is a second folder "tmpcache" which I did not create intentionally. The "tmpcache" appears to be empty and is not locked. I've tried all the posted methods/suggestions without success.

    Hi bigreddog808
    So it keeps re-appearing after a restart.
    Delete that folder again and:
    Look in your System Preferences > Accounts > your account, Start up Items for any reference to that Application that was responsible for the "jobsite delivery tags/receipts" that you were using a year ago.
    If you find such an application in there, Deselect it, or even click on - (minus sign) to remove it.
    Also see if there exists in:
    your home folder /Library/Startup Items
    your harddisk /Library/Startup Items
    your harddisk/System /Library/Startup Items
    again, for any reference to that application that was used a year ago that was responsible for creating that > Deliveries > tmpcache folders.
    If you find that application in any of those locations, drag them to the desktop so they don't activate on startup.
    If that works, create a new folder and put them there in case you want to keep them, if you don't want to trash them.
    Hopefully this will stop those folders being re-created on restart.

  • How can I delete movie from my itunes

    How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

    I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
    Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.

  • I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    Weird.
    Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before.  In the meantime...
    By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu?  Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
    Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
    Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

  • How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

    How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

    Since iTunes Match nor iCloud supports storing video content at this time (other than music videos purchased from the iTunes Store) what you want to do is not possible. There may be other cloud storage solutions out there, but none that integrate with iTunes.
    FYI, if any of the movies are purchased from the iTunes Store the service Apple calls iTunes in the Cloud by be a partial solution for you. However it is strongly recommended that keep a local backup of all your purchased media and not depend solely on a third party (Apple) to keep your data safe.

  • Once a movie is copied into iTunes, can I delete the file from the folder?

    I've copied several movies into iTunes and then sync'd them onto my Apple TV.
    My question is: Once I've copied a movie into iTunes, can I delete the movie from its original folder (e.g. the Movie folder) and still have the movie in my iTunes?
    More specifically, does "dragging and dropping" the movie into iTunes make a new copy of the movie file so that I can delete the original file? And if I can delete the original file, should I?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Thanks. I'll check and see when I get home tonight. My guess is that that's the setting since my disk space has decreased a lot when I started copying things into iTunes.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can't delete/move emails using Mail app

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and having problems with my Mail application.
    The long and short of it is that I cannot delete or move emails from my Inbox.  When I select an email in the preview panel and delete it, it disappears, but when I select the Trash folder, it isn't in there.  And when I go back to my Inbox, lo and behold, it is back there again, as if I had never deleted it.  The same holds true when I try to move an email from my Inbox to one of my iCloud folders.
    Emails come in to my Inbox just fine.
    And I am able to move emails from one iCloud folder to another, however.
    And I do not have this problem when I access my email via Iphone, ipad or icloud.com.  In fact, when I delete an email from my iphone, it gets deleted from my Inbox on my Mail app.
    I looked in Mail Preferences, and I have one Account set up:   iCloud IMAP.   Is that right?  I use me.com for my email.
    Any ideas here?

    This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Can not edit file on network shared folder after upgrading to windows 7

    Merry Christmas and happy new year,
    Due to some configuration changes on a specific application, I have forced to upgrade OS of a few number of workstations from Windows XP to windows 7. After upgrading I am facing a strange problem on WIN7 workstations. These workstation are member of a Windows
    2008 R2 Active Directory domain which also has a Windows 2003 advanced server additional domain controller. Also there are a number of shared folders on some member servers (all windows 2003) which are mapped as network drives at user logon. Before upgrading
    mentioned workstations to WIN7, users was able to edit his/her files on all of mapped network drive according to his/her permissions without any problem on their WINXP workstations, But after installing windows 7 they begin facing problem on one of these mapped
    network drives and the problem exactly is when they edit a file, in more specific word an excel file, and then try to save, the excel returns an error message of "document not saved" and exit the excel program. It becomes more strange when you learn
    that the edited excel file is disappeared and replace with some "tmp" file. If user copy the excel file to his/her own desktop, edit it and then copy it back to its original place on mapped network drive, it will be replaced normally with its older
    version. In other words if user wants to edit an excel file on that specific network drive, he/she must edits it somewhere else and then replace it on the network drive. If the same user uses a WINXP box, there will be no problem.
    Can anybody help me to fix the issue?
    TIA
    Bijan

    Thank you Karen,
    The problem is fixed, but my case was none of what you suggested. In fact I have
    another problem which I described in another question and it was of the root of this excel file issue. I describe what I have done to fix the latter problem hope to help fixing similar issues to mine.
    Okay, as it is described in the
    question, I was not able to open a shared folder with its UNC address while it could be mapped as a network drive without any problem. I examined what I was replied and some other ways, came to no result. I decided investigate a similar shared folder in
    permissions to problematic one to see if the problem is repeated. So I created a folder and shared it with similar permissions and examined it. Surprisingly there was no problem. It was wise to remove sharing of the problematic folder and share it again to
    see if the problem resist. But when I tried to remove sharing I received an error message saying that
    the shared folder is related to a DFS root. When I took a look at the DFS roots of domain there was no sign of the problematic folder (that made me recall that I created a DFS root with problematic folder mistakenly and removed that DFS root).
    After little searching, I found out that the problem could be caused by traces of the removed DFS root. Yep! I found the suspect! The registry key
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DFS\Domain\problematic shared folder. I removed the key restarted DFS service and log off and on and Bingo!
    This problem pops up a few more questions:
    1) Why is not the registry key related to removed DFS root deleted from the registry of windows 2003 server?
    2) Why was I able to browse this ex-DFS root shared folder without any problem in windows XP while it was problematic in windows 7?
    3) As there is no special client service for DFS and user can access DFS root targets like other shared folders what is the deference between shared resource access mechanisms in windows XP and windows 7 that caused the problem?

  • Can't delete event in imovie

    So I was messing with imovie, and I deleted the content, but the event itself won't delete. It keeps saying I have an event from 7/23/14.

    Hello xoxoyazyxoxo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To delete an iMovie event please follow the steps below.
    Delete movies, trailers, clips, and events
    You can delete unwanted movies, trailers, and clips from an event, and you can delete an entire event in order to free up space on your hard disk.
    If you don’t see the Libraries list, click the Show button on the left side of the toolbar.
    In the Libraries list, select the event you want to delete, or select the event that contains the items you want to delete.
    In the browser, select the movies, trailers, or clips you want to delete.Tip:  To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
    Choose File > Move to Trash.If a clip you’re deleting is in use anywhere else in your library, the clip is not deleted.

  • Can you manually move files within a folder to put them in a specific order?

    I am new to mac, I was wondering if there is an app maybe that you could move files within a folder (ie photos) to make them in a specific order and then rename them, I used to be able to do this with my windows xp..... cant seem to make it happen with my new macbook pro and from what i can gather it cant be done? can it? Thanx in advance.........

    Thomas, I have set the view to maunally but when i move the icons they return to where they were sitting..?
    In the Finder? You probably have a sort selected in the Sort By submenu in the View menu. However, the order of icons in icon view won't have any influence on the order of the images in the slideshow, I think. Use iPhoto, this is one of the things it's made for, the Finder is not.

  • I can't delete, move or create new pages.

    Hello,
    I have catalogue (390 pages)
    Today i cant delete, move or create new pages.
    When i delete, move or create new pages - my Indesign CS5.5 program "freezes"
    Only with CTR: + ALT + SHIFT i can stopped my program.
    Аfter reopening everything was as before!
    I try to export like a  *.idml file, but my program crashes! Every time!
    My OS is: Windows 7
    Indesign CS5.5
    Please help me
    Thank you!
    With kind regards,
    Botev Plovdiv

    Is there anything at all related to this freeze in the Windows Event Viewer?
    Are you able to add, remove, or move pages in a new document? Are you able to export a new document to .idml?
    Yes, it is able!
    It sounds like there may be a corrupt bit of text, or an image in the file. It may be possible to isolate a page, and then an object, using "Divide and Conquer."
    Start with a copy of the file, for safety. Try to export the front half and the back half separately. If either half crashes, divide it in half aand try to export those halves. Repeat the process until you have isolated a page that crashes. Now remove half the objects from that page and try to export. If it works, put those back and remove the other half and try again. Repeat as above until you isolate an object.
    Thank you, I will try!
    After that i will back to you with my comments!
    Thank you again, Peter!

  • Can't load NAS in iTunes (Sharing folder disappears).

    I'm trying to use my NAS (Buffalo Terastation Live) in iTunes as a sharing folder.
    Everything was working perfectly when I was using my old Linksys router. Not working when I changed over to my new AirPort Extreme Basestation.
    Now, when I open iTunes, the NAS shows up in the Sharing section of the folder list. And iTune says that it is 'loading...' the NAS. But the the folder disappears after about 15 seconds.
    The NAS is otherwise working well through the Basestation. Meaning, I can open folders in Finder, etc.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro. When I use iTunes on a PC on our home network, the same problem happens, except that there is an error that says that there is a firewall problem and I need to open port 3689 for sharing (or some sort of error message like that).
    So, I figure that this may be a port sharing problem??? I don't have the faintest idea what to do next.
    Help is much appreciated.

    Hi Zac,
    I installed my After Effects in "E:\Adobe". so, there's a MideaCore folder in the "E" dir, the path is "E:\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS6\MediaCore\". When I said I can't load plugins in the "MediaCore" folder, I ment this folder.
    I downloaded Premiere CS6 from the website yesterday and installed it in the same folder "E:\Adobe", this time, a new MediaCore folder was created in the "C" dir, the path is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS6\MediaCore". And I can load plugins in this folder.But if I uninstall Premiere, this MediaCore folder won't exists anymore.
    So I guess that's problem.
    About the crash, I was compiling the "Paramarama" pulgin. But after I changed the compile ouput path to a different place, then change it back, After Effects don't crash anymore.
