Cannot create a new project with iMovie. Operation could not be completed. No solution to the problem is available.

Every time I go to create a new project in the latest version of iMovie for mac OS X yosemite, I get the following information. "The operation could not be completed. No further information is available about the problem.
I have tried restarting the computer, that didn't work. I also tried also, to reinstall the app. That didn't work. I even tried updating all the software, and that still didn't work. I am very frustrated and feel the mac was not a good gift, if a major essential app will refuse to work. Nothing I do, seems to work.   

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • Cannot Create A New Project In imovie

    When i want to create a new project in I movie, i cant because it says "Please check the disk to esure there is enough free space and you have permission to write projects" ive got plenty of space so what is the problem??? please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi
    How much free space is there on Your MAIN Start-Up Hard disk ?
    • I never let this go less than 25Gb - YES Gb
    This is due to two things
    • Mac OS X = UNIX
    • The Application used - here iMovie
    Both of them creates lot's and lot's of .temp files - You don't see them - but they need hard disk space.
    And when this goes scars - all kind of bad behavior appears.

  • Shared videos won't play because the 'operation could not be completed'. Solutions?

    I have recently shared some videos with some friends over iCloud photo share but they will not play because 'the operation could not be completed'. Is there a solution for this other than deleting and starting again?

    mc,
    In your first post you stated:
    I checked permissions and nothing came up wrong.
    Did you accomplish that by using "Repair Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility, or did you actually check the "Ownership & Permissions" of your Desktop Folder using the "Get Info" command in the Finder?
    Click on your Desktop in Macintosh HD>Users>yourusername, and then choose Finder>File>Get Info. Under "Ownership & Permissions," it should say "You can {Read & Write}."
    If that is not selected, then change it to "You can {Read & Write}."
    ;~)

  • File Save for Web = Error: The operation could not be completed.

    Installed photoshop CS6 trial Version 13.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate running in hyper-v virtual machine.  Created a small image and clicked File Save for Web.  This produced the error dialog "Error: The operation could not be completed."
    I tried the following trouble shooting steps:
    1. deleted the preferences
    2. created a new user
    3. re-installed both the operating system and photoshop
    4. looked for permission issues
    5. monitored procmon.exe to look for unusual errors
    I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but it simply does not work.

    ELEMENTS 12 AND ELEMENTS 13
    Upgraded to 13 Thinking might resolve the issue.
    Was working fine up until we had "Tech" come in the office and "up grade some stuff"
    then all of a sudden i started getting this message, something happened but i don't have a clue what.

  • "The operation could not be completed" problem wit...

    I have just upgraded to 6.83 from 6.81 and every time when I use the phone manager the error message "The operation could not be completed" appear (although despite the messages, it works well). I try to search the problem in the faq as well as in the forum. There turn out to be a solution to use the cleaner program. However, the program will not work with 6.83 nor Vista. I try to reinstall the PC suite but it fails. Anyone has encountered the problem or is there any solution?

    When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
    Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

  • Creating a new project in imovie '09

    Good afternoon.
    When a user creates a new project in iMovie '09 it gets put into the user's Movies folder. This is fine on a stand-alone, but with Network Home Directories it's not, because of the bandwidth needed to transfer files across our network. Is there any way for the user to decide where their new project is to be stored please?

    I also successfully created a still frame to a new project I created for this purpose.
    Move to a frame in your EVENT, control left-click and select "Add Still frame to project" from the pop-up menue. It will be added at the END of your selected project.
    After that, I am still trying to find a way to save that still to iPhoto'09 as a photo.

  • When I create a new project in iMovie and drop clips into it, it plays the first one and then quits right near the end of the second clip.  I have re-started my computer, tried a new project etc, and no luck, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)

    This is happening to me as well. No solutions from anyone. When it happens, it does not matter which drive I try to save to ... it won't create a new event or project ANYWHERE. I usually have to reboot.
