Can't access content library in iMovie 10.0.6

I have updated to OS X Yosemite and I am using iMovie 10.0.6 but there is no content library in the side bar and if I try to access it through the window button and then go to content library they are faded and I am unable to click them. Is there any way for me to fix this because I can't add baking music or title screens?
Thank you.

Hey there Sophie194,
If your Event Library is grayed out and inaccessible, you may need to update your projects and events:
iMovie (2013): Updating projects and events from previous versions of iMovie
To update later
If you choose Update Later, you can update projects and events by following these steps.
Open iMovie.
From the menu bar, choose File > Update Projects and Events.
Click Update in the dialog that appears.
To update projects and events on external drives
Verify that the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders are stored on the top-level of the drive.
Open iMovie.
Choose File > Update Projects and Events.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

  • Can't view photo library in iMovie media pane

    My photo library is on an external hard drive. I can open iPhoto and it works. I can't access the pictures through iMovie. I had the same problem with music until I put it back on the computers hard drive. I am very experienced with iMovie/iDVD/iPhoto. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Welcome to discussions!
    Is your hard drive formatted correctly? To find out connect the external drive and then launch Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities. Your external drive while show up in Disk Utility's side bar.
    if it isn't Mac OS Extended-Journaled then click the 'Erase tab' at the top.
    Select Mac OS Extended-Journaled formatting from the Volume Format menu.
    Then click the oval Erase button at the lower right. That's all you need to do, except you will probably want to back up first as this will erase your drive.
    If that isn't the problem, try deleting all of your Keywords from the iPhoto library.

  • I changed itunes options the other day to only synch one playlist and now when I open itunes I can't access my library.

    I changed itunes options the other day to only synch one playlist and now when I open itunes I can't access my library or any playlists. 

    I think I fixed this problem a few years ago by literally copying and pasting all my audio content into the iTunes library folder. I can't remember what is called of the top of my head and I don't know if this will still work.

    Hi all,
    I was getting messages that my Aperture Library was full, so made an appointment at my closest Mac store, but have to wait 2 days. They advise you to update saoftware before coming in, so I updated to Aperture 5.3.1. When I open it, I'm asked to update my library. When I select that option, I'm told that my library is full. Now I can't access my library at all. What should I do to access my library? Do I have to uninstall 5.3.1 and reinstall an older version?
    Another problem I have recently encountered ... all the up and down scrollers on various screens have disappeared. They reappear fleetingly when I use my up and down arrowa, but I can't always catch them. How do I get my scrollers back?

    Thank you so much for your patient guidance and screen captures.
    You are welcome.
    My external hard drive is properly formatted for Aperture, so I am currently copying my Aperture library to it. That will take hours since it is copying 101 GB.
    o.k.
    I understand that I need to clean some space on my internal hard drive and reformat the Aperture library to get back in operation.
    You need to upgrade the Aperture library to be used with Aperture 3.5.1.  That will happen automatically, when you first double click the copied lirary to open it in Aperture.
    I'll also need to back up my external drive with a new external drive if I make space on my internal drive by removing some photos from there and store them on my current external drive.
    What do you use for backup? If you are using TimeMachine it is better to have only the Time Machine backup on the Time Machine drive . In that case would I put the Aperture library and other data on a new drive and keep the old drive for backup.

    I had my itunes library on an external drive, I now have a new Windows 7 computer. How can I access my library?

    Hello, robertfromboulder city.
    Thank you for the question.  You can direct iTunes to read your media off your external drive.  To do this, follow the instructions below.  See the section in the first article labeled Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location.
    Where are my iTunes files located?

  • After an iTunes update I can't access my library as iTunes can't find my .itl file

    After an iTunes update I now. Can't  access my library as iTunes can't find my .itl file. Any ideas how to rectify this?

    Your iTunes Library.itl file will normally be at C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. If it isn't there should it be somewhere else (you ought to know if you deliberately moved it) or is there a Previous iTunes Libraries folder containing backups made during iTunes updates.

  • HELP! can't access iphoto library back up

    I backed up my whole iphoto library (17K pix) onto a G drive so I could have more space on my laptop.  When I was finished, I checked the G drive to make sure all the pix were there before deleting off the computer.  They were.  Today I went to access my old photos on my G drive and when I clicked on it, I got a message, can't access this library, it is being used as a time machine back up. What happened to my pix? Can I get them back for use? HELP!!!!

    Have you opened this one over a wireless connection in the past?
    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries. 

  • I can't access my library on this computer. How do I get support that I makes sense?

    What am I supposed to do here? I want to be able to sync my iPod Classic but I can't get any library information. Sorry, but this is getting to be more and more BS. I hope you all enjoy discussing my problem. If anybody can help me, let me know if there is some way to do that. Thank you.

    Just so you understand this correctly, this is Support - here. However, your question needs to makes sense, and for that, we (or at least I) need more information.
    To add to TheGraywolf's post:
    What do you mean by "Can't access your Library on this computer"? If you mean songs that you've purchased from the iTunes Store, have you authorised your computer so that songs download from the Store?
    If you can't "access" the Library, do you get an error message when you try? What does it say? (Precise text please.)
    Have you previously been able to access this Library?

  • Why can't I use the content library in iMovie?

    I can use every other feature in iMovie except for the Content library. It is not in my side bar, and when i get it from the tool bar above the options are gray like I can't use them.

    Hello taigepeves,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you're trying to get your Content Library to appear in iMovie, please make sure you have a movie project open, as it should then automatically appear.
    You can find titles, transitions, music, and maps in the Content Library. The Content Library is at the bottom of the sidebar once you open a movie project.
    If the sidebar is not already open, click Show in the toolbar.
    At the bottom of the sidebar, select an item from the Content Library.
    In the Browser, your selection appears (titles, transitions, and so on). Drag one to the timeline to add it to your movie.
    If you add a title, map, or globe, you can adjust settings in the Adjustments Bar which is located above the Viewer.&#8232;
    If you add a transition, double-click it in the timeline to adjust its duration.
    To return to your video clips in the Browser, select an event in the sidebar.

  • Can't access Photo Library First Aid

    Before I start my doubt I already did this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2512?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    But I can't access the photo library first aid. The problem is my iPhoto doesn't let copy photos from library to ie: desktop. And then appears a window with this info: The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.
    Jeez what is this issue? I put my photos on this software because I trust on Apple products  and now I don't have access to them?
    Following the link I posted, a press the command button as the same time the iphoto dock logo and the Photo Library First Aid doesn't appear lol
    Apple I want a solution for this problem now! All my work is inside of iPhoto library  

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder:
    User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • Can't access photo library after last update

    I have a Macbook Air 13 and am running the most current Maverick (10.9.5) before Yosemite was released.
    I take all updates as they arrive and are listed by AppStore.
    After the last iPhoto update that came about the time Yosemite arrived I can no longer access my photo Library.
    When opening iPhoto it give me a choice to upgrade my library or quit. So I tried to upgrade and after about 30 seconds iPhoto simply goes away.
    I am traveling and can not do the large Yosemite upgrade, in case that is the issue, but need access to my photos.
    When I plug in and sync my iPhone5S  (which is running the latest updates as well) it seems to sync but I have no way to import the photos.
    I am guessing this is related to the last update but have no idea what to do in order to recover.
    iPhoto 9.6 now show incompatible but I don't recall seeing this earlier.
    I am running iTunes 12.0.1 and it can not access the photo settings. It just sits with the busy spinner.

    iPhoto 9.6 only runs on Yosemite.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can't access shared library to import.  Why?

    When trying to access sharing, library will not come up in iTunes so that it can be imported.  Can anyone tell me why?

    Rebel,
    iTunes has two kinds of sharing:  regular sharing, which allows listening but not copying, and Home Sharing, which does allow copying. 
    Make sure you are using Home Sharing, and that both computers are authorized to the relevant account.
