Deleting project clips and photos after project is completed

I recently discovered that I have numerous clips and photos in iMovie from previous projects. Is there a simple way to remove these clip etc. from iMovie? Currently I am highlighting each clip and hitting the delete button. It is taking me ages to delete all these clips. If any one has a simpler method, please help.

you can delete the unused (unused in any Project) portions of any Event by "Move event to trash" and then you get a box that asks you to"Delete" or "Delete unused". Pick the later, if you are sure you never want them again. If you Delete the whole event your project that uses those clips (Movie) will never run again, the Project just tells the computer where to find the source clips music etc.
You can do this with every event and you may need to dump them from another area in iMovie, rejected clips maybe. And then you need to dump your trash, but once done you will free up huge amounts of HD space.

How do I empty trash after deleting music, apps and photos from my iPhone to make more room for upgrading to iOS 8.1?

How do I empty trash after deleting music, apps and photos from my iPhone to make more room for upgrading to iOS 8.1? It says I don't have enough room to upgrade so I have deleted some of everything but do not see an improvement in my storage space. Help?

No need to empty anything.
You can update by connecting your phone to iTunes on your computer. This way you bypass the space limitations.
Good Luck

Are you using iCloud as well as manually synchronizing via iTunes?
And, do you have backup?

Restore from your backup - not as new phone.

How to delete overwrite clip and bring back original material

First project on any Premiere. Using Windows Premiere Pro CS6.
I have a long (three minute) clip on Video 1 timeline I'll call "Original" with Audio on Audio 1. I'm Overwriting short video clips and placing these short clips onto Video 1.
(I have to place them on Video 1 if I want to use video transitions, right? I'd rather place the short clips onto Video 2 so the Original video would stay underneath)
Anyhow, I've got one of these short clips I want to delete from the Video 1 timeline and end up with the Original clip playing video and audio with no gaps in video or audio and no holes (causing a jump) in the Original clip.
When I choose the Ripple Delete, the short overwrite video clip deletes, and the gap goes away. But I'm left with a jump cut and a "seam" at the cut point!
What can I do to delete the short clip, and bring back the Original overwritten video so that it plays seamlessly with no gap and no jump just as it did before the overwrite?
This is easy and it's just late, right?

(I have to place them on Video 1 if I want to use video transitions, right? I'd rather place the short clips onto Video 2 so the Original video would stay underneath)
If you'd rather put it on video track 2, go ahead, when you add a transition to- or from video2 (on the beginning or end of the desired clip on V2) it will transition to/from video 1.
What can I do to delete the short clip, and bring back the Original overwritten video so that it plays seamlessly with no gap and no jump just as it did before the overwrite?
exactly what Jon said.

Help! I deleted video clips and my cache file by mistake

Is there any way to recover these in Final Cut Express 2?

Did you actually delete the clips from your Scratch Disk? If you just deleted them from FCE you can Import them again from your Capture Scratch folder. If you deleted them from the Scratch disk an did not Empty Trash, recover them from Scratch. If you emptied .. er... wow.
If you clips are really gone, you can always use Capture Project to bring them back from your DV tapes; they will come into your project with all edit points, filters, setting etc. intact. That is, as long as you properly logged your reel settings

I have lost my contact and photos after downlaod new ios

i have lost my contact and photo on my iphon 4 after daownload new ios how i c an return back thanks

Downgrading an iOS is not supported by Apple but that would not bring the items back anyway.
What photos are you talking about? If they were synced to the iPod then you will have to get them from the computer from which they were synced. If the photos were taken by or saved to the iPod then they should be in the backup. The same with notes.
One the computr go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the da and time of the iPod backup. If it corresponds to before the update was performed or at the beginning of the update then the itmes should be in the backup. Restore theiPod from backup. Make sure thatyou have auto syning turned off other wise when ou connect the iPod to the computer iTunes will backup the iPod which does not have the items and delete the old backup. To turn off, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that say Prevent iPods.... syncing.

ALL apps deleted from iPhone and iTunes after newest iTunes download

ALL of my boyfriend's apps were deleted from his iPhone 3G AND iTunes after he downloaded the newest version of iTunes onto his PC. Does anyone know why this happened? Can he get all of those apps back somehow?
Thanks!

The only way all iTunes content on his iPhone can be removed is if he synced his iPhone with iTunes after the current iTunes version was installed and his iTunes library on his computer is now empty. A warning message should have been provided indicating this would happen if he proceeded with the sync.
His iTunes library on his computer is now completely empty - no music or anything else?
Nothing available in the iTunes named folder located in his Music folder?

Lost videos and photos after I clicked I wanted to format my SanDisk 256mb micro sd

Hello, I am in need of some help with my blackberry curve model 8320. I have about 8 videos of my dog when he was a puppy and my nephew as well as photos that I am missing. I bought a SanDisk 256mb micro card for my phone and it has been in their for about a year. The guy at the tmobile store set everything up for me. Well I was going through my phone yesterday because some of my videos could not be sent through email and I made a huge MISTAKE. It asked me to format my media card. I said yes, not knowing it would delete all my current photos and videos. Is their anything I can do to get them back or are they gone forever?? I would appreciate any advice. I called tmobile and of course the gentlemen advised me their is nothing I can do now.

Formatting the card erases everything on the card. Sorry, but your data is gone.

Hi Louis
It is possible, you just need one of those programs - search google, names like irip etc.
Once you have the program it will bring everything up again in your itunes program, I found even deleted songs that were brought back. Fantastic feature...
Don't let anyone say you can't! it is possible, just something your not suppose to do with apple.

hi i was transfering my photos to mine computer and the computer put all the photos(of the computer) on my iphone!! and it made pastes and now i cant delet the pastes and the photos!!! please someone help me!!!

How did you do this? Were you trying to use iTunes? If so, to remove the photos, connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck Sync Photos, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

What can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips he operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil

what can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips in Imovie 09 "the operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil" I use to get these type of error messages when trying to delete unsused clips from a large event 60 minutes or longer, but now I get this message when trying to reduce a 4 minute event.
Also, does anyone know if there is a limit to the total amount of space that can be taken up by Projects in Imovie 09
Thanks for any help

Zachy,
It goes something like this...
Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

Have accidentally deleted video clips and now an iMovie project won't play (did initially after deletion but no longer). Is there any way to rectify this? I have a very upset daughter as the video was her holiday memories....

I have deleted the video clips used to make an iMovie project as I thought the bits usedt were saved as part of the iMovie project. Initially the project still played post deletion. However it is no longer working as it says it can't find the video clips. Is this rescuable?
I have a very upset daughter as project took her 2 days and was her holiday memories....
Any help gratefully received
Karen

There's no harm in looking inside the Trash folder.
When a file or folder is deleted, it is moved into the Trash folder to give you a chance to recover it if it was deleted by mistake. Of course that means Trash folder could grow large as time goes and more files are deleted.
You can recover your movies if they are still in the trash.
You should also empty the trash if you think you don't need the files in it to free up disk space.
