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.

I can't delete events recurring annually...not part of birthday calendar, these are events I've added manually. I've tried delete key, cut event, changing to no recurrence, they just revert to original recurrence and will not be removed from my calendar. Events that occur weekly I'm able to delete, this is only happening with events recurring annually. Very frustrating. Thanks for any ideas.

If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad. But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software. I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

Where do deleted events in imovie go?

it says "trash" but apparently there is no dedicated trash for imovie and the deleted events do not show in my mac trash. what is up? where are these deleted files? i have seen others ask this question on boards but no one seems to know where they actually go and if they are, in fact, deleted. anyone?

Just so there is no mistaking my question..i delted an event in imovie 10.0.2 on my macbookpro which i updated to maverick last week. the event was gone from my imovie library but never showed up in my finder trash. i DID NOT empty the trash before i looked there. i tried a few experimental deleting events from imovie and it never shows up in my mac finder trash. question: anyone know if, indeed, the event was deleted and if so, how (since i did not empty the trash, nopr did it even show up to empty)? And if not, where did the deleted events go?

HT4968 can't delete events on my MacBook Pro iCloud Calendar

Have iCloud; have iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad. Can't delete event from iCal with MacBook.

You haven't said what system you are using (please do when you have a query). The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Lion: the 'Calendar sync' checkbox has been removed from System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync as iCal no longer uses this method to sync and it's therefore redundant. Calendar 'syncing' (actually iCal reads the calendars from the MobileMe server) is now handled in a new Preference Pane, 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' - please see this Apple Tech Note for instructions on setting this up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4758
If you have upgraded to Lion and are having trouble syncing you should try removing your login details and re-entering them.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

Deleted events in iMovie 10 does not reduce used space on hard drive

The used space on my hard drive doesn't reduce when I delete big footage (events) in iMovie 10.0.1. The deleted events were not moved to system garbage like in iMovie 11.
Any exlanation for that?

It depends on how you migrated from iMovie 11. When you convert your Events and Projects from iMovie 11, you have the option to keep your iMovie 11 Events and Projects. If you do, the iMovie 10 Events are created by using Hard Links to the files. This means that iMovie 11 and iMovie 10 both can point to the same file. Therefore, it does not take up any more space to have events for both iMovie 10 and 11. On the other hand, If you delete an Event from iMovie 10, but do not delete the corresponding event from iMovie 11, you do not gain any disk space back.
Also, note that if you ever move or copy these events to another drive, the hard link will not carry over. At that point, both the events will take up space (basically doubling the space needed.)

Can't delete event or import new events to ical

Hi,
My ical is hung up on an appointment I cannot delete. This is the error message I get. My ical quit working when this appointment repeatively posted for years. I tried to delete it and it won't go away nor can I import events ot appointments to ical.
How do I fix this?

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 Not Delete Event Sent by Organizer

Ok, I have an odd and annoying problem.
There are a ton of repeated events in iCal in Dec/Jan (all the same event repeated). I can not delete them as it says "Only the organizer can change this event". Furthermore...
They are now syncing with the iphone but there is no "Delete" button there (as it was sent by someone else).
How can I get rid of these?

Fredrrr,
According to iCal Help "If you can’t change an event or calendar:"
"If you were invited to an event, you can change only your status for the event, the calendar where the event appears, and the event alarm."
Also, read: When Not to Send iCal Invitations - O'Reilly Digital Media Blog, for more information.
I think that YAI, by John Maisey may be able to help you, but I do not know for sure. If he reads this post he will be able to confirm or repudiate my suspicion.

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

In making a "highlights" movie, using clips from different imported iMovie events, can I delete the larger iMovie event file from the Events browser and still work w the smaller clips in the Projects browser w/o having the larger files still loaded?

I have sucessfully imported 150 Sony digital 8mm movies (each one hour in length) into iMovie as 150 iMovie events. I have since successfully converted them from their original 13 Gb (.dv) file to an exported smaller 1.3 Gb (.4mv "large file") movie that I am happy with, using the iMovie projects browser. So now I have 150 " .4mv" movies on my internal HD as well as about half of my original raw data " .dv " movies on my internal hard drive.
Due to their large size (over 2 Tb), I do not have all the larger raw data (.dv) files on my 2Tb internal drive, just about half of them. What I want to do now is to create a new project in the Projects browser for each of my kids, and reload, starting with Tape #1, each of these larger files and do a highlights movie for each of my kids, wherein I pick out smaller clips from each 1 hour .dv iMovie event and paste them into the appropriate kid's Highlights project in the Projects browser.
Here's my question: If I load the first 5 large files back onto my internal HD, and paste in various shorter clips into each of my kids' Highlights project, and then if I delete those first 5 large files (they are backed up on 2 other 3Tb external HDs), can I keep doing this (reloading the next 5 large .dv files to work with), and ultimately take each of my kid's Highlights project and export as a .4mv movie EVEN THOUGH the earlier large .dv files are no longer on my internal HD, OR does my iMac need to have all these larger files loaded on my internal HD for me to eventually export each of my kid's Highlights project to a .4mv movie?
I have a 2011 era 27" iMac desktop w 2Tb HD internal and 250 Gb flash drive, and Lion OSX and iMovie 11.

Thanks. I tested it out and you were correct. I loaded 2 .dv movies from my external HD back onto my internal HD, and got them re-imported into iMovie, took a few short clips from each of the 2 iMovie events and pasted them into a new project in the Project Browser. Then I deleted these 2 "source clips" from my internal HD, closed iMovie and then re-opened it and found that iMovie would NOT export the smaller clips for a "highlights" .4mv movie without the "source clips" being available.
I read your link on Quicktime. It talks about mostly trimming, which is what I did with each iMovie event before I took each one as a project to export as a smaller .4mv file. But if I use Quicktime (do I need QT Pro or basic), what advantage is it to me to use QT over iMovie (I must admit I am a novice at iMovie and have never used QT or QT Pro as a tool)? Will it then convert any edits I make to a .m4v movie or do I need iMovie to do that?
Does QT allow trimming multiple segments out of a movie during one edit session, or can you only do 1 at a time? By that I mean that, for example, when I use Sonys Picture Motion Browser for my .mts movies, you can only set one Start and one End point for each edit/trim you do: it does not allow you to set multiple Start Stop points like iMovie allows in its Event or Project browser. You can only do one "trim" at a time, save it and then reopen to do another trim. not very useful.

How can I delete event files from iMovie to save disk space?

I have been shooting a lot of HD video of my son's soccer games and am now realizing some of the problems with the newer iMovie 10. It appears to not allow for partial video deletion of videos in events (really too bad because previous versions of iMovie did this really well), And, sometimes it will not actually move the deleted file to the Trash to help free up disk space on the computer. This is also a problem because I have to did around in the View in Finder mode to find the events I just deleted in order to move them to the Trash manually. Yeegads! All of this said, what I appear to have happening is a huge amount of video that I never plan to keep (most of a 90 minute soccer game does not make it into highlights -- imagine that?) clogging up my hard drive. My poor computer needs to have a cholesteral check.
Any advice on how to manage large video files 40 minute HD files within (or outside) of iMovie 10 so that I can efficiently eliminate irrelevant content and actually delete files to prevent disk overload would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking about using iMovie 9 to edit down and delete the unwanted footage and then update the files into iMovie 10 for some of its bells and whistles any problems with that?
I must admit, I think iMovie 10 is a failure in certain essential ways. It dropped Keywords, its deletion is not true deletion, and it's all or nothing when deleting an event. I have always been a huge Apple fan, but this new release of iMovie 10 has not been a good user experience for me. I have read a lot of feedback from others with similar problems and issues with iMovie 10 and would really like to understand what Apple plans to do to address some of these defficiencies in what will hopefully be a much better next version.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi PGWilli,
If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

Can't delete events, or rejected clips, and now hangs on startup

I am using, as far as I know, the latest version 7.1.1. I first started having problems when I couldn't delete a couple of events. I them selected some clips to be rejected, and it marked them appropriately with the red bar. However, it will not allow me to delete these rejected clips. Now the problems are getting worse and I cannot even get '08 to start with hanging up and then I must force it to quit.
I should mention that I between having all these issues I have installed iMovie HD and been using that but for ENTIRELY different clips etc. I have not been sharing things back and forth. HD seems to be working as it should.
I am new to Mac', about 3 months now, and have been using iMovie'08 for a few weeks and found it to be very good. I started to have some problems and found the whole debate about iMovie '08 compared to iMovie HD. All that aside, although I can see how HD has better features than '08, can someone point me in the right direction to get things up and running again.
Thanks very much.

Sorry, I should have added this error message that I get when trying to move the rejected clips to the trash:
The operation could not be completed. * -[NSPlaceholderMutableDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:]: number of objects (0) not equal to number of keys (4)
Perhaps this will help someone with nailing down what the issue is.
Thanks again.

How can I delete events, I keep getting multiple dates for an event, have deleted and then continue to re-appear. Any suggestions?

Birthdates entered into the calendar become multiple events. In one case it has repeated itself over 200 times. I have manually deleted these events at least 3 times and they continue to reappear. Any ideas how to correct?

One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

How do I delete events in Imovie

my mac is working so slowly. I think one of the problems is that my events folder has over 8 hours of video. However, when I try to click on it to delete it, it won't let me. It doesn't separate each event. It's just one big event. When I click on FILE, MOVE TO TRASH. It tell me "I must select at least 1 event". Well, I would if it would break down the events!
Please help!!
Thank you

m2funky,
In order to remove clips from your iMovie Library, they must first be 'rejected.' The steps below detail how to go about rejecting a clip or clips. Once the desired content has been marked as 'rejected,' you can utilize the 'Move to Trash' function to remove those clips from iMovie. Note that this will remove entire clips (even if you only 'reject' a small portion of a clip). If you inadverdently remove a clip and would like to restore it to iMovie, you can choose 'Undo Move to Trash' under the Edit menu.
In the browser, select a range, a clip, or multiple clips you want to rate.
Do the following:
If you don’t like the selection: Choose Mark > Reject (or press the Delete key).
A red line appears at the top of frames you’ve marked as rejected.

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).
