Can't import audio from .mov into iMovie 10.0.3

When importing a .mov file with sound into iMovie 10.0.3, the audio does not import with the video. I have no sound. The file plays and sounds fine on the desktop. What am I doing wrong?
Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.3. 16G Ram, 768GB SSHD 2.7GHz Intel Core i7

Hello John,
Check out the first article for some troubleshooting steps to see if anything is preventing the audio from playing properly. Also try using QuickTime to convert the video in a different format and then import it into iMovie to see if that changes things.

How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?

How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie? I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.

When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container. You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X.

I can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive.

Most likely, the "requested location" where you are trying to copy files to does not have WRITE permission, and so you need to change the permissions.

Can't import some photos?

In iMovie 09 I can't import certain photos from iPhoto library (or directly in Finder). Some photos when dragged into the Project Pane just don't get added to the project. All my photos are jpgs and they're all larger than the project resolution I'm using.
Some photos do work - and I just can't work out what the distinction is. Is it a bug - or is there something with the type of photo I'm using.
I didn't have this problem in iPhoto 08 - does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
PS I've got Advanced Tools enabled

Have you tried deleting iPhoto's and iMovie's preference files?
(Found at Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist; and com.apple.imovie.plist)
With both iPhoto and iMovie closed, drag these plist files to the trash. New ones will be created when you reopen the apps.
The iMovie plist file may say iMovie8 or 9. Be sure to trash the correct one.
I had this happen to me 2 nights ago. None of my photos would import into iMovie. Trashing iM's plist resolved the issue.

Import edited DV-movies to iMovie

How can I import edited DV movies, with transitions and music, to iMovie in a proper way? It seems to mess up the import. I have a lot of edited movies on DV cassettes which I want to organize on my iMac with all my other unedited movies:)
Thanks

Hi Carl,
I'm not familiar with other programs (hint: Adobe Premiere Elements 11 may be worth a try). But I'm about to import two minDV tapes to iMovie HD 6 (rather than using iMovie '11). The two recordings are edited masters that I archived back to miniDV tape 11 years ago from iMovie version 2. They comprise a wedding video that I've been asked to put onto DVDs (previously recorded back to VHS tape).
I'm hoping that, when imported to iMovie HD 6, all media, transitions, titles, music and so forth will play in the correct sequence - unlike what we are seeing in iMovie '11 (I'm keen to add chapter markers and then use a nice theme in iDVD). Otherwise, I will probably record direct from my old miniDV camcorder to my ancient Pioneer DVD Recorder (which has a Firewire 400 input/ouput jack).
I will let you know how this works out. If it is successful, at least we have one solution. But it won't help you, of course, unless you can get hold of a copy of iMovie HD 6. This version is no longer available, nor supported by Apple, but I understand can be purchased on eBay or Amazon (look for iLife '06). But first things first - let's see if this works with iMovie HD 6.
I'll get back to you Carl, but it may be in a few days - if you can wait that long!

PS I'm also intending to copy the final exported movie to USB flash drives, so that the recipients have both a DVD and USB stick (another reason to use iMovie).

Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

I am sorry to be so ignorant, but I am not sure of WHERE to "post" this question:All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

Do you mean you want to import a photo to the organizer? It's easier if you put the photo where you want to keep it before importing, but just go to File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and import it. If you move it after importing you must move it in folder view in the origanizer.
If you just want to edit the photo, there's no need to import it. Just go to File>Open in the editor.
