Cannot find movie in Imovie in any drive?

Movie plays well in Imovie but I can't find the specific file for it. I'm fairly certain that it's in a large folder on the external drive but when I copied it to the internal, and set the external folder in the trash, and tried to open it in Imovie it said it couldn't open it because it was in the trash.
I changed the name of the project from the name of the big folder to another name about 3/4 of the way through editing.

if you can get it open by any method, Save As... to another project.

Here's the situation. I received a text while I was talking on the phone. Went right to text, then could not get back to the screen. After trial and error, I discovered a little green message at the top of the phone that said "Touch to return to call". Problem solved.

How to find movie file from external hard drive in imovie?

i shot 29 gig of video on the road. i imported it into my macbook to the desktop. then i drag and dropped it into an external hard drive. now i have since dragged and dropped the file to my imac at home to work with it in imovie, but imovie cannot find any mpeg or any such movie file. i then tried to put it back to the canon hg10. after i plugged in the canon, i dragged the movie folder to the canon and it imported 29 gig. but the canon does not show any new movie files in the video mode. when i open import options in imovie, no new movies appear. any ideas?

For iMovie to see your file, it must be either on the internal drive, or it can also be on an external drive that is formatted as Mac OSX Extended (Journaled). (Not FAT32).
For the internal drive, your clips must be stored in a folder inside the Movies/iMovie Events/ folder.
For the external drive, your clips must be stored in a folder within the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the drive. Move your files there and then start iMovie, and it should see them.

"Cannot find movie..." alert message

Everytime I open iphoto 6.06 I get an alert saying "cannot find such and such a movie." Whether I hit cancel or find movie I get the rainbow death wheel and have to force quit the application. My iphoto library is stored on an external networked drive, but I've had this trouble even when the library has been on my computer. Any ideas?

alhagar
You deleted them using the Finder right?
Well, unfortunately, no there isn't. You'll need to make a new library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.

Cannot find newly exported iMovie on mac, used iMovie11

i have just completed an iMovie project and exported it to finder. But, i cannot find the movie anywhere on my desktop? tried it again, and specifically specified saving location to movies, and cannot find the second copy. a search for the movie file name has come up empty? any ideas on how to export a project and actually be able to find it? need to attach to an email and send out to friends. thanks.

Hey goodhill1,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't find a movie you exported. I would recommend that you follow these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate this issue.

When searching with Spotlight, you can search for the metadata too not just the file name.
OS X Mavericks: Narrow down Spotlight search results
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14172
Search for metadata attributes
Most items contain metadata that describes the item contents, how it was created, and other attributes. For example, when you take a digital photo, information such as the camera model, the aperture, and the focal length are among the many attributes automatically stored in the file as metadata. Here are examples of what you might type in the search field when you search using metadata attributes:
trip kind:document
searches for the word “trip” in documents only.
author:tom
searches for all items written by Tom.
meeting date:tomorrow
searches for meetings you have planned for tomorrow.
kind:images created:5/16/08
searches for images created on a specific date.
kind:music by:“glenn miller”
searches for music by Glenn Miller.
modified:<=6/29/08
searches for items modified on or before a specific date.
To view metadata for a file, select the file, then choose File > Get Info.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Cannot find movies in itunes on ipad

i have syncronised movies from my itunes library on my computer to my ipad but then cannot find them.
please help

How many movies are listed on the device under Settings > General > About ? i.e. does that figure agree with what you think the number should be ?
Also have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

ITunes cannot find music files, confuses inodes, external drive

I have all my music on an external drive, which is not always connected to the Mac. When I start iTunes w/o the hdd connected iTunes occasionally marks some of the songs as not found. Which is ok so far. BUT if it finds the same inode (of the original file on the external hdd) on the internal hdd it changes the location of the songs to the internal hdd. In my case to files like /Previous System/<some path>/Info.plist. So iTunes thinks the files are still there and cannot play them. After deleting all the Previous Systems files iTunes marks all those files as not found, that is, it does not search for the inode on the external hdd again. Very confusing.
Yesterday I started from scratch with an empty iTunes Library (I moved the original one) and the problem reoccurred instantly after I imported all my music, quit iTunes, disconnected the external HDD and started iTunes again. So some of my songs are lost, iTunes will never find them again w/o me reimporting them. Also the problem might occur anytime in the future and I seem to not be able to cure it, because iTunes tried to be intelligent. But how it can confuse inodes w/o looking at the device ID and why the songs did not return after I removed the /Previous Systems folder I cannot image.
I checked the inodes on the internal and external hdd for some of the songs and they were indeed identical. So iTunes seems reset the path/location in the Library DB if it can find the inode of a song which it cannot find by path. Why it does not look at the device id in combination with the inode# is a mystery.
Some additional details:
iTunes Music Folder Location: on external hdd
The Library files are on the internal hdd at ~/Music/iTunes.
I hope someone can answer that. I do not want to start from scratch every week. I hope my iPod which holds all the songs synchs meta info like play count and rating back as well.
Kind regards, soryu2.

And further....
I went into iTunes to try to download all my purchased music. Some, but not all, is showing up under iTunes>iTunes Media>Music. It looks like the library thinks some if the music is there, but it actually is not.
Seems like my library is corrupted (or something).
Since I have to upload all music from CD anyway, should I delete my iTunes library and start over, first by downloading all purchased music.

Satellite C50-B-13T: Cannot find Win7 32-bit graphic card driver

Hello,
basically my problem is that I shifted from Windows 8 to Windows 7 and i can't find matching graphics card drivers,
I tried installing almost all the inter drivers out there, but non of them worked.
So i would be happy if someone could help me,
I need a standard VGA graphics adapter driver for windows 7 ultimate (32 bit)

Hi Emil
Im really wondering why do you install 32bit version if 64bit version is fully supported and you can find all necessary drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.
As you probably know 64bit version would be better due to general performance and RAM usage.
Can you please tell us which Intel GPU is in your machine? I cannot find exact model name. It must be integrated Intel GPU with shared memory.

Cannot find movie that I downloaded

Were you downloading the movie on an iOS device?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

Cannot find invisible files or folders any more

Find or Spotlight used to be able to find invisible or hidden files, folders, etc. This is key for some purposes.
Now it doesn't work. I can list hidden files or folders in terminal, but cannot find them at all using Spotlight, even when I know they are there. For example, searching for Name Contains private AND Visibility is Visible or Invisible returns nothing, even though ls -a returns private/ as one of the folders at root level.
Does anyone have an explanation for this change in behavior, or a fix? Using a utility like TinkerTool is not a satisfactory workaround, because searching still fails even when hidden files are shown in the finder.

Hi, j.e.s.
First, we need to define hidden and invisible files, as they are distinct:
• A hidden file is one whose file name begins with a period (.) . Example: a file named ".hidden" would not show up in Finder. This is a UNIX® standard.
• An invisible file has its invisible file-system attribute enabled.
A file can be both hidden and invisible, e.g. its name begins with a period and its invisible file-system attribute enabled.
Now, as to searching for these with Spotlight:
• By default, Spotlight neither indexes nor searches either hidden or invisible files.
• The Find criterion for Visibility does not work. Find under Tiger is implemented in Spotlight. That the Visibility criterion does not work extends beyond the facts that Spotlight does not index hidden or invisible files nor will it search (with the exception of Raw Queries using criteria based solely on file system metadata) outside of its index. The function simply does not work. Even using a raw query to search for invisible files, when compared to using the Spotlight mdfind Terminal command, produces inconsistent results.
I have an entire appendix in the Tiger Edition of my book — from the info above is provided — that demonstrates all of these anomalies with Spotlight concerning searching for hidden and invisible files.
Your best bet for searching for hidden or invisible files under Tiger is to use EasyFind.
Good luck!

Cannot find import movies in imovie in hard drive

good day
I import files (video) in imovie but i couldn't find it in my hard drive?
many thanks
oohhhhh

In iMovie 10 (if this is what you are using) the video clip files are in the library. Right-click on the library and select "show package contents" and you will see folders for each of your events. Within these will be folders labelled "Original media" In these are your clips. However, don't change anything in the library with the Finder or imovie will malfunction.
Geoff.

IMovie cannot find the video files (external hard drive) but they are in the project?

As the integrated hard drive on my iMac is getting too small, I moved all my iPhoto files to an external hard drive.
I made a movie after this change and it worked perfect until I should finish the movie. Here I get the message the the media files are missing.
This is strange as I can watch the movie in the project in the iMovie library.
I cannot finish the move nor share it.
Can somebody help me?
My imovie is version 10.0.3 and I am running Maverick.
Thanks!
Steen

Can you give me the info I wasked for in the other thread?
