Delete iMovie Events, Projects, Sharing after update iMovie 10.0?

After updating to iMovie 10.0 in Finder appears a 'iMovie-library' but the folders 'iMovie Events, Projects and Sharing' are still there too. These last folders are roughly same size as the new 'iMovie-library'. Can you delete these old folders? I could use the space!
I have already updated my old library.
Thanks in advance!

I updated to Mavericks and the new iMovie last night as well as I have always been an early adopter. Unfortunately this time, I think I was a little too quick.
From what I can tell, the new iMovie takes all old events and creates a new iMovie library. I believe if you wanted to, you could potentially revert back via time machine and grab the old imovie back and use the old events and projects folders? Can someone please confirm? I would like to do this.
After I did my upgrade, I was left with to iMovie events libraries. One was called iMovie events and the other imovie events 1. The second one is my old library that resides on my external thunderbolt drive where I would like to keep it. The iMovie theater folder was also added but inside the Movies folder on my internal drive. I don't want that either.
I usually adopt pretty quickly to iMovie changes but at this point it might have finally pushed me to Final Cut Pro X, to get back that iMovie linear "feel". I can't see anything at all anymore in the new iMovie that shows any time line and ease of use.
Cheers

After updating iMovie, some clips missing/some in wrong project

After updating iMovie to 10.0.3, clips from various projects are intermingled. In some projects, clilps are missing. In others, there might be two clips from a different projects in the project.
I took my MBAir and an external drive to the Apple Store for a One on One; the creative consult was baffled. He said he'd just started, and had never seen this problem. He gave me his name, asked me to make another appt, andto ask for him. He said he'd do some research. In the meantime, he suggested I write the forum, see if anyone else had this problem, and if so what the fix might be?
In the meantime, any suggestions/ideas welcome.
Thanks, Hal

Quite a number of people are reporting clips disappearing fom events, especially if they have used the "Adjust date and Time" function, so I am beginning to think that there is a real bug that has been introduced with iMovie 10.0.3. (I have not experienced this problem myself but I have not done much in iMovie since updating having moved on to FCP).
I have not heard before of clips moving to different projects though. is your problem only with clips in the timelines or do they disappear from events completely?

After update iMovie and OS Yosemite recovery, iPhoto icon disappeared. How can I find photos stored on iPhoto?

I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?

Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library

I used Finder to organise my iMovie events into folders. In iMovie I can see the folders but the software says there are no events present. What can i do?

I used Finder to organise my iMovie events into folders. In iMovie I can see the folders but the software says there are no events in the folders. What can I do to rectify?

Very carefully use Finder to move the Events back to the top level of the Movies/iMovie Events folder. iMovie will not see them if they are nested in Folders.
If they are on an external drive, move them to the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the drive.
However, you can put iMovie projects in folders if you want.
It is best to do all moves and renames in iMovie so you do not destroy the links in your Projects. However, you need to move your events back to where they were in the Finder sonce iMovie cannot see them.

All my imovie events are missing after latest maverick and imovie 10 update

Hi,
I updated to Mavericks, and updated iMovie. I opened up iMovie and it says that all the original files are missing. It suggests to try and re-import the files, but I cannot find them anywhere on my computer. I am missing hours of footage, and I have no idea where it has gone. It appears that the old iMovie is there, and I can click it open, but all the files are missing from there too. Anybody have any ideas as to what happened, or what can I do to get my movie clips back?

Same issue here.
Deleted the UpdatedToiMovie10 file (0 bytes) and relaunched iMovie. Starts off OK, then
Then although I can see the names of all the project files in the sidebar and they are still in the iMovies9 folder, and iMovies9 still works as normal, iMovies10 just displays
But that doesn't work either.
Tried running the permissions repair and there were hundreds flagged as incorrect, but that didn't cure it either.
Any ideas?

After updating imovie with mavericks, clips added to a project no longer have an orange stripe. Any suggestions?

When I add clips to a project in imovie, the used portions no longer have an orange stripe on them. I recently installed mavericks and updated imovie. I could not find a setting to enable or view this feature. Thanks for any suggestions.

After using imovie some more after the update, it may have to do with the location of clips and the project. If the imovie project and the clip are saved in the same imovie library, the orange stripe appears when I add clips to a project. If the movie project and the clip are not in the same imovie library, the orange stripe does not seem to show up. To make sure I can alway see the orange stripe for clips I have added to a project, I keep the clip and project in the same library. Hope this helps.

Move iMovie Events & Projects to a new Mac

I just got a new Mac and want to move my iMovie events and projects from the old machine to the new one. I seem to recall reading an article on Macworld a while back saying that you shouldn't just go through the finder to copy the files from one disk to another. What is the proper way to move the files from one machine to another - there are roughly 200GB worth of files.
Both units are running iMovie '11

AppleMan1958... unlike many posts I find on these forums I really appreciate that you answer the questions and do so quite authoritatively.
In keeping with the theme of this particular discussion, I have a question for you (or anyone else who can answer it).
I moved several iMovie 11 project files along with the associated events to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) external hard drive. I did this within the iMovie Project Library window on a Mac Mini running OSX 10.6.6
After properly ejecting the drive I connected it to a Mac Pro running 10.6.5. I open iMovie on the new machine (iMovie 09) and the drive shows up in the Project Library window but the projects do not show up under it. (The projects are there because I see them in the Finder.) What I want to do is move the projects to the new machine.
I did this before so I know it works. My question is: why would the projects I want to move now not show up in the Project Library window?

Importing iMovie Events/Projects to FCP X?

Hi I am a complete newbie to the MAC forums. Apologies in advance for the long winded post!
Past:
I have been a Windows / Video Studio user for many years. (Win 7, Q6600 cpu, 8gb RAM)
I principally make DVD's of slideshows, interspersed with video and with a music background for myself, businesses and friends.
I'm not a "Pro" by any stretch of the imagination but I've been successfully making reasonable quality output.
Now
I've moved to the Mac and as my profile shows I've bought a reasonable machine - iMac 27", 16gb RAM, i7 3.4gHz cpu, AMD Radeon HD 6970M (2GB) and 1TB main drive and 3TB external drives.
I have iMovie '11 and (after reading extensive reviews) just purchased FCP X to see if I can -
Utilize the 64bit the iMac is capable of; and
give myself more flexibility for creativity (VS X3 had heaps of themes, transitions, titling etc)
Questions
I expected FCP X to import the iMovie Events and Projects hassle free (most bad reviews referred to comparisons with FCP 7 etc.) However when I import the projects -
The iMovie MAPS feature is not supported (this is a real hassle as this was a recent welcome introduction from iMovie '09 on). Apple support suggested I export the whole project to a QT movie then import into FCP X but as I told them I bought FCP X to speed up the process, not to process a 32bit app then import to a 64bit app to do my final output. (Since then my research suggests there is a workaround to the MAPS problem if I just create the Maps in iMove and export to QT and import to FCP X - Why would Apple not just continue this feature in FCP X?
All of my photos appear full screen in iMovie, however when I import to FCP X some of the photos are significantly smaller i.e. appear in a black frame. Is this a media problem or is FCP X not capable of importing the project in it's iMovie form?
All text frames (as intros to particular groups of photos) lose their formatting and the text is cropped and unreadable.
All this from a product that is purported to "import iMovie Events and Projects". The imported mess I have suggests I'm better off starting from scratch but this means the "import iMovie events" is useless?
Lastly, the plethora of options for output leaves me baffled to say the least. It is not helped because i am not a Pro but even iMovie is difficult to easily produce a high quality DVD for playback on a big screen TV. I try various options, SHARE>Media Browser>LARGE, or 1080p (produces 108 error in iMovie) Then import into iDVD to produce DVD menu and output to Image file prior to burning on SL or DL media.What is the best workflow to produce the best DVD output on a HD TV?
Thanks in advance for any help as time to complete some projects is against me.
George

Thanks Tom.
Do I understand correctly that to produce 90 minutes of high quality I need a Blu-ray burner? I follow that DL discs can only produce HD up to 40 minutes and to go beyond that I need a Blu-ray burner and disc.
On advice from Apple Support, I provided feedback for a feature request when I first struck the problem. I'll research the forums more to seek out answers to my questions. I'll have to find the "spatial conform" section. In the meantime I'll finish these projects as best I can in iMovie and then start my learning curve with FCP X as I am probably biting off more than I can chew at the moment.
Patrick and Tom, I appreciate you taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge.
With thanks,
George (in Tasmania Australia)

New project missing after closing iMovie

Here's the steps I took:
Created a new project
Shared that project to Vimeo no problem
Created a different new project
Tried to share to Vimeo but it kept saying the file was too large, so transfer failed (this project was about the same size as the previous one I uploaded to Vimeo)
I closed iMovie
When I opened it again, the project I had tried to transfer to Vimeo was now missing
I recreated the project, tried to upload to Vimeo, same problem - failed to upload
I shut down iMovie, restarted and again my project is missing!
But, what's strange is if I try and create a new project with the same name as the missing one, it tells me a project with that name already exists, and I have to choose a different name.
I'm so confused! And very annoyed that I may have to create this project a third time.
Any help?!

I have this problem too! Not quite the same, as I wasn't trying to export to vimeo, but it's otherwise the same: I create a new project, and then I close imovie. When I open imovie the next time, the project doesn't show up. When I go to "all projects" it says there are 14, but counting them there are only 13 shown!
I discovered a TEMPORARY fix, and I mean temporary because it's annoying and doesn't fix it permanently:
1. Create a second imovie library from the file menu (it doesn't have to have anything in it)
2. Right click your first library and "close" that library (it won't let you do this if it's the only one, hence step one)
3. Close imovie
4. find your original library in the "movies" folder and double click to open it.
iMoive will then open up and your projects will be shown under their respective events. HOWEVER, if you close imovie and open it again, they are gone again!

Unable to Understand iMove Events, Projects, or iMovie Photo Library. Help!

I've got iMovie 10.1 and, unlike other Apple software, I cannot make heads or tails about how it is storying my video clips.   Things that appear in IMovie Library do not appear in All Events. How can that be possible? Shouldn't All Events contain any clip I have imported? I can't even figure out what is the difference between those two folders.   I can't figure out what All Projects contains. either. It seems to contain the same thing that is in iMovie Library so why have two folders with different names that have the same things?
I've been trying to research this on the web and have not found anybody who can explain what these different folders mean.   Can somebody here do it?
Also, I can't delete a clip no matter what I do. If I right click on it and say move to trash (while in IMovie Library) it looks like it deleted it but when I go to the actual folder in the Finder, where IMovie Library is, the clip is still there.   This is one of those maddening cases where the delete button does not delete anything.
The help for iMovie is basically useless. I cannot find any explanation as to how to delete a clip or how to organize them using these confounding folder names that seem to be different names for exactly the same thing. Has anybody mastered this?

iMovie 10.1 stores everything in a library package with the extension .imovielibrary but you can have more than 1 library. When in iMovie, 'All Events' should show all the events in the currently open libraries just as 'All Projects' should do for projects. These are not actual folders but simply display all the items currently available from the open libraries.
Deleting clips is described in help under: Browse & organize the library - Organize your events & projects - Delete movies, trailers, clips, and events
Help does contain a lot more information that appears at first but its not always obvious which section to find it in. Its worth going through it all carefully because so many things have been changed in imovie 10 compared to 9.
Some patience is needed to get in tune with the new way of doing things.
Best of luck!
Geoff.

IMovie 08 quits shortly after starting IMovie 08

New mac owner here.
Purchased a standard macbook 6 months ago. From the purchase date I successfully used the IMovie version that came with the mac. Last week I decided to upgrade to ILife08 and therefore IMovie 08. Since then IMovie 08 shuts down after just a few minutes of running. I ran repair permissions and also ran each of my projects to see if it was related to one specific project and came up with nothing. I have also installed any updates related to IMovie, ILife, or the Mac HD.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

The first thing I'd do would be delete the iDVD preference file.
To delete iDVD's preference file: First quit iDVD; then look in Home/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag the plist file to the trash, then reopen iDVD. iDVD will create a new plist file.

Calendar will delete all events every time I update it

Every time after my mom updates her iPhone 5, it will delete all events she created. It happened with the last update, and also happened with the most revent update, which delete over 20 Doctors appointments, birthdays, school events etc. and she has no other place she wrote them down. Is there any way to retrieve these, or stop it from happening in the future?

I spent most of yesterday rebuilding my library from a back up program. This has only happened with this latest update. How do I prevent it from happening?
I am also having to redownload all my music purchases from (well most) from the cloud, and that isn't working either.
It would be nice if someone from Apple would respond.

TS3999 Deleted past events from shared iCloud calendar. How can I get them back?

I have accidentally deleted all past events from shared iCloud calendars when removing from one mac. How can I get them back?

Why would you be surprised? You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account. Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose. Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

Logic folder corrupted and all projects lost (after update onto 10.0.6 most likely), is there anyway to restore them?

Hi,
Has anyone experienced Logic Pro X's Logic folder corruption after update onto 10.0.6 (released 9.1.2014)? All my projects were disappeared from the folder and cannot find them anywhere with disc recovery tools, naturally no backups for the projects and set up Time Machine few days after 10.0.6 update (quite nice!) and did not touch Logic for month or so and now all projects gone!
I would appreciate any help to get those recovered and yes the importance of backupping the projects is now finally understood by the hard way.
Thx,
Supercomp1

Will try this approach provided by

Project Disappeared after exporting (iMovie '11)

I created a photo slide show type movie in iMovie '11. After I exported it, the Project no longer appeared under the Edit Project tab in the app.
There's been a lot of talk here about remving some prefernce files to get missing project to reappear. I've done that but with no results.
What's strange to me is even going back into Time Machine I see no evidence of this project. There's not file for it in the iMovie Porject folder in the past. It is almost as if this .mov file I created came out of nowhere.
I'm glad the project was done when I expoerted it, but am confused as to why the project file no loner exists in the app itsself or any folder.
Any idea where m work went?
Thanks
Ty

Hello! I am having the same problems. I have tried exporting it every which way, have detached every piece of audio that I could, been doing this for days, and nothing is working. I new it had to be a bug.
Can you tell me how to remove the iMovie update, and re-install the original iMovie? Do I download this from the mac site?
I am turning in a huge project for a grant, and I need this done in 2 days!
Thank you for the help...
