Can´t delete iMovie Movies anaymore

I just installed iLife 11 on my Mac. Before I had the previous version.
First it crashed on me then I read in the forum that I should restore the iPhoto Library. I selected all windows. Now i cant delete Movies anymore in iMovie.
What should I do?

In your home folder, the videos are in your Movies>iMovie Events folder. All the Events are collected up under that single Events Folder. And as for Aperture, I don't use it so I don't know where it keeps that Library. I assume it's similar to iPhoto where it keeps the iPhoto Library in the Photos folder.
Does it refuse to delete on Events you have created since the Update? Or is it doing it just with Events created prior to the Update?

HT1711 can i delete a movie from my computer that i've previously purchased in itunes and then download again when I want to watch it?

Can i delete a movie from my computer that i've previously purchased in itunes and then download again when I want to watch it? Seems like this would help me manage storage space.

Yes, provided the movie is still in the iTunes Store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

How can I delete old movies that I already purchased, which are saved in my account? Actually I don't want them to be viewed by others who use same account, so is there any solution to delete them? Please advise. Thank you

Can't delete iTune Movies from my hard drive

Hi,
I wondered if anyone could help...
I maxed out my hard drive with iTune Movies and music, and have been trying to transfer to an external hard drive which is fine, but... I can't delete them from my laptop's hard drive (Vista on Sony Vaio). I don't have the same problems with the music at all, just the movies.
I'm running out of space, help!
Thanks
A

OK, so that tells us it's the operating system permissions for your account.
In WE, go to the top-level music folder.
Right-click > Properties and go to the Security tab.
Give your windows userID *full control* and ownership of that music folder and make sure to apply those settings to all child/subfolders.
This web page has some Windows 7 screenshots - I think they look the same for Vista.

Can't delete or move PDF

I am using Acrobate Pro version 9.5.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
Once I have created a PDF, I find I am unable to move or delete the file. If I reboot the machine, I can delete or move the file, but as soon as I open a PDF, the problem is back until I reboot again.
It appears others have had the same problem, but I don't see any solutions. Does anyone have any suggestions or workarounds?
TIA,
Joe Parsons

Hello,
This may not be directly related, but I just (March 2015) ran into a problem I have not seen before and we move LOTS of PDF files across all kinds of networks and network locations.
We have seen a related behavior.
If the PDF worked BEFORE the MOVE, COPY, or RENAME, it should work AFTER the move, copy, or rename.
However, we have seen where if AFTER the MOVE that you cannot OPEN the PDF with Adobe (or move or copy the file to a new location) that perhaps your NEW PDF File name and DATA PATH structure is not well under 255 characters.
For some reason either ADOBE or WINDOWS (XP for sure) has a problem with PDF File name and DATA PATH structures that near, equal to or are great than 255 characters.
Make sure AFTER (ideally BEFORE) you MOVE, COPY, or RENAME PDF Files, that your resulting PDF File name and DATA PATH structure is under 255 characters, otheriwse you will may not be able to MOVE COPY RENAME or OPEN the PDF's in the NEW location until after your PDF File Name and DATA PATH structure is under 255 characters in total length.

I can not delete a movie off my Ipad.

After the recent update an old movie showed up in my videos. It will not allow me to edit and delete in videos. Also tried to remove and then sync but the movie doesnt show up when I sync it with Itunes. Its an old movie that I did a digital download years ago. I want the space now. Help

Hey Cmtlemos,
It sounds like this second part with the cloud may be what's happening:
Delete a video from iPad. Tap Edit in the upper right of your collection, then tap on the video thumbnail. If you don’t see the Edit button, look for on your video thumbnails—those videos haven’t been downloaded to iPad, so you can’t delete them.
To only show locally stored videos and not those in iCloud, you would follow these directions:
Go to Settings > Videos, where you can:
Choose to show only videos on iPad (toggle Show All Videos to off)
However if your concern is space, just know that it isn't taking up any space on your iPad, it is stored in the cloud - not locally.

I can't delete anything (movies or songs) from iTunes, after installing Lion

When I select a song or movie and go to edit at the top the delete choice is grayed out and I can't delete anything?

Try using the Delete key on the keyboard.
At least, thats what others are suggesting here -> Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted?

Can't delete or move messages unless I quit and restart

Beginning yesterday I was unable to delete or move any messages in any of my 4 accounts. If I closed Tbird than restarted it I could delete and move messages in all accounts for 10 or 15 minutes. Thereafter delete again mysteriously failed to work. It worked again for about 10-15 minutes after closing and restarting. Rebooting the system and running a thorough virus scan did not fix the problem.
Latest version of Thunderbird. Win 7, several email accounts both imap and POP. Problem applies over all accounts both imap and POP. Problem is NOT a corrupted trash folder. Others have reported this problem and no one, as yet, has posted a fix.
The problem is clearly not in the user settings nor a corrupted folder because if it were it would fail all the time. The key is the fact that it works until some time factor disables Delete. Delete is disabled whether TBird is in use during the 15 minutes or not in use during that time.

if i swipe right I see the word Favorites at the top. above that is a search option. to the right is a weird little symbol kinda like a wheel with gears on it. if i click that it gives me the option of Turn off Chat or Cancel. I did both, it just greys out the friends list that appears. If I click a name, the previous conversation appears. nothing to delete from there, just contact info if I click the i symbol or back to news feed.

After transferring about 7 pics to a desktop folder, the last pic kept duplicating even when I highlighted another pic. I can't delete or move any pics from folder. I can not drag a new pic into folder.

Can not drag a pic from aperture onto desktop folder. was able to drag 7 but number 8 was a duplicate of 7. Can not delete any pics from desktop folder

This is a solution for duplicates

Advanced user tips ... but first backup your iPhoto library
If you want to get rid of your original photo files and leave them in iPhoto, thus freeing up much hard drive space, you can use these commands in Terminal:
mkdir ~/.Trash/iPhoto-Originals
cd ~/"Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/"
find . -type f -exec mv "../Originals/{}" ~/.Trash/iPhoto-Originals/ \;
Type these commands carefully and it should work!

Can't update imovie movie after it's shared

I shared my imovie to itunes - it's all good, it shows up in Home Movies. Then I made a change to the imovie and shared again.
I get a popup message that the share to itunes has been successful, but it's still the old version, even though I said ok to replace.
I tried to change the name of the movie, and it changed a title IN the movie as well..... of course that shows up in itunes. (that's buggy)
Next I carefully changed the name of the file, without updating the title on the first screen ... then shared, and only then would it show up in itunes.
If i didn't change the name of the file, even if it asked me to replace the original file, it didn't. Very buggy.
This new version seems to be a big step backwards in terms of functionality... I can't find the clip trimmer, can figure out how to fade a clip... the layout is a pain with the huge long string of clips that doesn't wrap.
One positive is letting the Ken Burns effect go beyond he edges of the photo .... but that's the only positive.
And what the heck is theatre? Why do I have to spend $27 on the Missing Manual to figure this out?
iMac 27 inch mid-2011, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i 24Gb Mem
OS X 10.10.2
iMovie 10.06
itunes 12.1

Thank you, there was some good information here.
However - this new version of iMovie does not act like the old version when I update something that's already published.
It says it's replacing the previous version, but it doesn't (I used iTunes publish).
I had to change the name of the movie and publish to itunes, then manually delete the old version.
What about the trimmer for music? I used to be able to select the music, then trim ... I used to do a lot of splicing of music tracks, to time to the photos, remove objectionable verses, etc. I did something similar in this version, but it was unwieldy.
I tried wrapping the timeline, and going back to the previous view ... but then functions are missing, for instance it's not as easy to change the length of a clip. In the previous version there was a drop down. In the new version, it pops up when you move the edge. But if you revert, none of that is there.
I used to be able to make imovie really fly - .5 second clips timed to the music ... not sure I could do that anymore with this new version. It's more consumer oriented, but not as powerful. What a shame.
