Can't create new iMovie 11 project

When trying to create a new iMovie 11 project, I get a dialogue box with the following, "Cannot create project. Please check the disk to ensure there is enough free space and you have permission to write projects." I have a 2009 Macbook Pro, am running OS X 10.8.2, and have 316 GB of free storage space.
Based on what I read on previous threads, I did the following (not necessarily in the order listed):
I selected the iMovie icon and "Get Info" under the File menu and changed the setting to indicate that I have "Read & Write" permissions for the system, wheel, and everyone.
I went to the finder, selected the "Go" menu and held down the option key to open the "Library." Under "Preferences," I selected "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist" and deleted it.
I restarted the computer.
After numerous attempts with the above, I reinstalled iMovie and repeated the same steps.
Still no luck. Am I going about this incorrectly? Is there something else I should be trying?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I had this same issue after installing Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP and Zend Server CE.  I installed as admin but the document root (/usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs) did not have the admin user with Read & Write permissions.
In case it helps others, this is how I got it working:
Opened Terminal and typed:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
I could then see the hidden /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs folder.  I right-clicked it and selected Get Info.  Under Sharing & Permissions I then added the admin user with Read & Write privileges.
To return Finder back to not showing hidden files, issue the same commands but with FALSE.
It might be worth investigating how to configure Zend Server CE so that the document root is not in a hidden folder.  Flash Builder for PHP will let you explore your output folder in the Package Explorer, but you will need to have hidden files visible to see them in Finder.

  • Can I burn new iMovie 2013 projects to dvd?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to burn projects from the new iMovie 2013 (version 10.0) to DVD? You can share to "file", but it doesn't say what kind of file it's going to be.
    Thanks

    Not without a copy of iDVD.

  • Can't create new projects in RoboHelp HTML 7

    When I try to create a new projects in RoboHelp HTML 7, the
    Projects Type field is blank on the New tab of hte New Project
    dialog box. I just bought this product after using the trial
    version for 30 days. I can open the projects I created before but
    can't create new projects. Help! I need it now!

    OK, this problem is solved -- the problem was RoboSource
    Control 3.1. I realized that I had installed RoboSource Control 3.1
    during my Trial install (the option to install it is checked by
    default). By re-running the Trial download (thank God I saved it) I
    was able to uninstall RoboSource Control 3.1. (I could not
    uninstall it using the Tech Comm Suite installer or the Add/Remove
    function in the Windows Control Panel)
    Then I ran the Tech Comm Suite install and reinstalled
    RoboHelp 7 (without installing RoboSource Control 3.1).
    Now RoboHelp 7 HTML works again. Note that only the HTML
    version was screwed up -- the Word version ran OK, I just don't
    need it.
    Finally, I just want to say, Adobe Tech Support *SUCKS*.
    After spending a half hour on my initial call on Sept. 26th, "Ken"
    directed me to the Adobe Support web page and told me to enter my
    problem myself -- thanks for nothing, Ken. He promised a 24 hour
    turn around, which did not happen.
    When I called back on Sept. 29th, I wasted another hour with
    Natasha and Sam, who had me run CSClean, which wiped out my
    registry entries for Acrobat and Photoshop, forcing a reinstall of
    those products. Of course, that did not help me at all.
    Adobe, please stop outsourcing your Tech Support to India --
    those guys know nothing!
    The replies to this issue on the "Customer Support Portal"
    have been slow, indifferent and unhelpful. Shame on them!
    I'm posting this fix to this problem on this Forum, so the
    next poor slob may be able to fix their problem themselves as I
    did, 'cause Tech Support sure won't help!

  • Can't Create New Sequence

    FCS2 Upgraded and updated yesterday.
    For some reason starting today I can't create new sequences. New Sequence doesn't make a new sequence in any of the bins (but doesn't crash - just nothing happens), whether from the File menu or right-clicking in a bin.
    Importing XML (from Color or even via Color > Send to FCP) doesn't create a sequence either.
    Creating a new project gives me an empty project, with no sequences in it either.
    Anyone?

    And, as always, FCP Rescue can make backing up or trashing your preferences nice and easy.

    Once you've got a functioning preference set, you can back it up to restore later in case this happens again.

  • Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?

    Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?
    The business requirement is to limit the available entries for partners  displayed when they search in quality notification. I have already created new partner functions & assigned the relevant partner types, however struggling with defining new partner types.
    Would appreciate help in resolving this.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

    I know this customisation setting ...It allows us to create the partner functions & assign it to the partner determination procedure.
    Then you can assign the procedure to the notification type.
    This customisation setting does not solve the problem I have.
    I'm looking for the partner type creation process which we assign to the partner function.

  • Can We Create New Categories and Folders?

    I hate having all of my apps piled up in the "ALL" category.  Can we create new categories such as "Business Apps" or "Education" in order to stay organized? If not can we at least create folders within the existing catefories?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I read a response to a similar question yesterday on this forum. The BlackBerry tech said it is not an option right now but you can choose your favorites and have them show in the favorites section. Maybe folders will be available later. Enjoy the new tablet I know I am.

  • Can i create new CRM in 11i

    do we find any scripts to check about concurrent managers in EBS from back end(sqlplus )..?yes default installation give you some scripts to check about concurrent managers.
    The following SQL scripts located under $FND_TOP/sql :

    2. afcmstat.sql Lists active manager processes
    3. afrqrun.sql Lists all the running, waiting and terminating requests
    4. afrqwait.sql Lists requests that are constrained and waiting for the ICM to release them
    5. afrqscm.sql Prints log file name of managers that can run a given request. It can be used to check for possible errors when a request stays in pending status. It requires a request id value.
    6. afcmcreq.sql Prints the log file name of the manager that processed the request
    7. afrqstat.sql Summary of completed concurrent requests grouped by completion status and execution type. It requires number of days prior to today on which to report parameter.

  • Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

    Hi,
    Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition instead of using the default "users" tablespace provided?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Correct. The sum of all user tablespaces is not allowed to exceed 4 GIG.
    You could try shrinking your tablespaces. Theres a script called maxshrink on http://asktom.oracle.com which is useful for this.
    You could compress your tables.
    If you are storing lobs, you could consider storing them as bfiles.
    Or upgrade to Oracle Standard Edition 1. Its not that expensive.
