Deleting images on my Mac that I've used in iMovie

If I delete photos off my Mac that I've used in an imovie video will it delete those images off the movie I created?  I do alot of volunteering for my kids school and church and have so many pictures on my computer that I do not want to keep but I'm scared to delete them for fear of ruining the movies I've created using some of these images.

if you don't need to edit the movie anymore and you have exported the movie by going to the Share menu and selecting one of the export options, you don't need to keep the photos. 
The photos in the project are referenced from their original location, so if there is a chance that you need to edit or export the project again, don't delete the photos.

    Running Macbook Pro, Mac OS 10.6.8, Bootcamp 3.3, & W7 64 Home Premium. What do I use to backup my W7 Partition to create an image like Norton Ghost that I can use to restore windows partition.

    Windows itself.
    There really are "?" (Help} icons and the backup feature will even remind you to create a system restore image the first time.
    (I still think a reference manual for $25 makes sense too, or at least learn to use Google.)
    Was asked and answered - quite well - a couple times yesterday, that would avoid and save a lot of wear and tear.

  • Is it possible to "mirror" images from my mac that was bought in 2009, but has all the updated software?

    I have a macbook pro that was bought in 2009, it has been updated with mac os x 10.6.8 and I am trying to "mirror" image to apple tv 6.0.2.. Is it even possible with a older mac? If it is how do i go about doing it? Any help would be nice thanks.

    no! yet maybe
    this
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
    only macs which video card support a realtime encoding of the screen image into a H.264 video stream
    support airplay mirror
    apple made it like that because if the video card don't support it the main cpu would have to and that could give a hit in performance and could cause lagg between the tv and the screen of the mac
    but a third party program called airparrot support it that way so if one buy that program it should work how the performance would be I don't know likely the performance would be better when you laptop is connected to AC as when one is on batt only stuff are slowed down to save power.

  • New MackBook Pro and now I got an iPad 2. I had an iTunes acc opened on another Mac that had not used it in a long time. Now I need to get APPS but not permitted on this Mac (authorization to write on iTunes Media ?)

    Need assitance to obtain permission to download APPS for my iPad through my MacBook Pro that for some reason iTunes is not allowing to do, I get message like "this computer doesn't have authorization to write on ITunes Media.
    I have had the iTunes account for a long time but hardly used, never on this computer (new).

    If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
    Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

  • HT4413 Migration Assistant for a brand new mac that has been used already?

    My dad bought a Mini but has been using it for a few months but didn't transfer anything from his old Mac. All his address book entries and files are still on his original Mac. Can Migration Assistant still be of help to transfer over the data without erasing what he's accumlated on his new Mac? Is it going to write over his email for instance?
    Thanks!

    Migration Assistant is not the tool you need to use at this point. Instead you should manually copy the data you want from the old computer to the new computer. If both computers have Firewire ports then use Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old computer into TDM and the new computer normally. You should then find a disk icon for the old computer's drive on the Desktop of the new computer.
    Before you do any of the described file copying below be sure you have quit Mail and Address Book if they are now open except where directed.
    For Mail you open Mail and select Import from the File menu. Check the top option to import from Apple Mail. Navigate on the old computer to its /Users/username/Library/Mail/ folder and then locate a folder named "Mailboxes." Select the folder and click on the Open button. Select the mailboxes you want to import and click on the Import/OK button. This will import the old mail to a new set of mailboxes in Mail under a mailbox named Imported. You can then move the old mail to wherever you want in Mail.
    For contacts locate the /Users/username/Library/Applications Support/AddressBook/ folder. Copy the entire folder to the new computer to the same location on the new computer.
    Last, navigate to the /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ folder and copy these preference files: com.apple.mail.plist and all beginning with com.apple.AddressBook. Copy them to the same location on the new computer.

  • How do I convert MPG to a file that I can use in iMovie?

    I have read a lot of ideas on here and some of them are beyond my knowledge of how to get it done.  I don't want to have to buy a converter as I have seen this converter is built into Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Do you mean MP3?
    If so try importing the file into iTunes or Garageband.
    If you go to iMovie help and type in "add a sound clip" there are steps to do this

  • Cannot delete images from LR 5

    First, my setup:
    LR 5.3
    New 2013 iMac with 3T fusion drive
    OS X Mavericks
    I migrated all of my apps, files, etc from a 2007 iMac, following Apple's procedure. To take advantage of the speed of the fusion drive, I moved my image files from a La Cie external drive to the iMac's fusion drive. (Yes, I am backed up, triply backed up with both external backup drives and cloud backup.) There were a few hiccups, but I straightened them out and now can access every one of my images, process, etc.
    But...since the migration and importation to the iMac internal fusion drive, I cannot delete images. When I'm sorting, I use the X key to mark images for deletion. Then, when I use the standard cmd-delete key combination, I get the standard window offering me the option of just removing the image from the catalog or deleting it from the disk. When I select the latter (since I don't want rejected images clogging my hard drive), a new window appears: The file named "___" could not be moved to the trash folder."
    The problem occurs only since the migration and moving of the images to the new drive.
    I have tried numerous fixes suggest in various forums—create a new folder, then delete it to create a channel for LR; check permissions; repair permissions; run various commands through terminal. It's maddening because I sometimes reject a few hundred images at a time, and there's simply no reason to retain them on my drive. Any help will be much appreciated and rewarded with a dram of virtual single-malt scotch.

    You're right, Suzanne, I had...or so I thought. I had checked at too high a level in the folder hierarchy. When I drilled down, I found the last two levels of folders didn't even have me listed as an owner. Odd. What I found, to my delight, was that I could change permissions on the master image folder, then instruct that those changes be applied to all folders within the master folder. Solved the whole problem.
    So Suzanne, Geoff, even though neither of you directly provided the solution, your answers got me to check a couple of things that turned up the problem and the solution. So thanks!

  • Photos not deleting images from mac

    Hi All,
    OK, so the issue is that I have taken some photos on my iPhone and these have synced to my Mac and iPad using iCloud Photo Library as expected.  However I then deleted these photos from iCloud Photo Library using my iPhone and they can no longer been seen in the iCloud Photo Library, or in Recently Deleted (as this has been emptied).  However they are still on my Mac's local hard drive.  If I try to import them on my Mac I get a message asking if I would like to import the duplicate photo(s), but I cannot find them anywhere in the library.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get rid of these images from my Mac?
    Cheers
    Graham..

    They may be filed away in a Moment with an incorrect date - have you tried the search field to search for a part of the filename?
    You already tried to repair the Photos Library, right?
    Then it may be a problem of corrupted preferences files:
    The Photos.app stores the preference settings in a file in your hidden User Library.  If this file has become corrupted, you can see all kinds of problems with the graphical user interface - missing menu items, invisible photos, etc.
    To remove this file, do the following.
    Quit Photos, if it is running.
    Reveal your user library and delete this folder:  ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/
    To reveal the hidden User Library:
    Bring the Finder forward by clicking on the Desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Select your user/home folder (with the house icon in the Finder sidebar)
    With that Finder window as the front window, press the key combination ⌘J to bring up the View options.
    In the View options panel enable ’Show Library Folder’. That will make your user library folder visible in your Home folder.
    Open your Home folder, then the Library folder, then Containers.
    Move the complete folder com.apple.Photos to your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the contents.

  • Notes deletes images on mac

    I have an issue where, after a while, Notes deletes images that I have added. I do not mean when syncing to IOS. I know that IOS Notes does not support images yet. I mean Notes for Mac does this. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Same here.

  • So I have a file on my desktop and I cannot open it, move it to a folder, or delete it from my mac. I dont know what it has in it, and that makes me suspicious. What can I do to remove this unremovable file from my computer? Is it a virus?

    So I have a file on my desktop and I cannot open it, move it to a folder, or delete it from my mac. I dont know what it has in it, and that makes me suspicious. What can I do to remove this unremovable file from my computer? Is it a virus?

    First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal.  This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences.  I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place!  So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
    Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.  In the Terminal, enter the following:
    sudo rm -f
    Make sure to put a space after the "-f"!  Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window.  That should insert the path to the file in the command.  Then go back to the Terminal and press return.  You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure.  Press return again after entering your password.  The file should be deleted.

  • Saving pdf files on my mac that were originally created on a pc deletes all previous input.

    Hi, I have a Mac and a PC on my workplace. We frequently use PDF files. So to make work easier i connected them via our network so we could be more efficient. But I have a big problem. When i create .pdf files on my computer and then transfer them to the mac i cant save them on the mac without deleting all the work i did on the computer. This is highly problematic. I have tried a few different thing as to fix it. I have restarted both computers and also insted of  moving the files via the network i transfered them via an USB stick but to no avail.
    any help would be tremendously appreciate
    Thanks /Didiuz

    Hi didiuz,
    What version of Acrobat do you have on your Mac and PC? And what version of Windows and Mac OS do you have?
    What sort of changes are you making to the PDF on Windows that aren't being saved when you open on the Mac? Can you please walk me through the process that you're using? It sounds like you're able to open the files on the Mac, but lose your work when you save them? Are you working with PDF forms?
    So many questions, but I need a bit more information to go on. I look forward to hearing back from you, so we can figure out what's going on!
    Best,
    Sara

  • I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

    I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

    again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
    the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
    And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
    I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc
