External drive works in iMovie 9, but not in iMovie 11

Hi
I have almost all of my events on an external hard drive which works in iMovie 9 but is invisible i iMovie 11. Can you help?
thanks,
Philip

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this issue? I can't figure out why it would work on a test account but not on my main account.
Thanks!

  • Mybook Studio Edition external drive shows in macbook leopard but not imac

    I have a Mybook Studio Edition external drive that I am using to store files and as a backup for my macbook leopard using time machine. I wanted to add files from my imac tiger but it does not show up in disk utility and the system profiler says unrecognized drive. I don't remember formatting it - it was just plug and play out of the box. Does this mean it is formatted for Leopard and won't work on tiger?
    Is there something that time machine does that it will only be recognized by macbook?
    The imac is:
    2.4 ghz
    3gb ram
    300gb drive
    10.4.11
    the macbook is
    2.4ghz
    4gb ram
    300gb drive
    10.5.6

    Hello,
    On the iMac ... Try repairing disk permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • New FAT32 flash drive works on Macbook Pro, but not on my iMac?

    Both Macs are updated to at least 10.6. Yet the brand new flash drive fails to even show up on my iMac and it is not in disk utility either.
    Thoughts?  Thanks!

    I called Adobe and they, without exaggeration, told me that they couldn't support Spry items and that I had to go the this forum for answers.  What BS!
    Its not the first time I hear that. Its clearly a Dreamweaver issue instead of Spry issue.
    In design mode, if you hover over the inserted menu bar, does it get a blue color? If yes, what happens if you click the blue label "Spry Menu Bar: Menubar{x}"? It should display in the properties panel.
    If not could please provide us with a screenshot?

  • What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro?  I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not.  Also should I avail myself of something that works with Thunderbolt or Firewire?

    What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices?  I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not.  Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections?  I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).

    Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
    http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
    There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
    "1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
    1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
    1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
    1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
    Also in those reviews:
    " Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
    Personally I only deal with OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
    They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
    Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
    When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
    As far as value for price:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
    500 GB for $130.
    However as far as reliability is concerned:
    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
    http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
    So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
    Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable.

    LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

    Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

    Depending on which email client software you use
    the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
    if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
    Since you don't specify what mail application,
    that would most be associated with the file.
    I notice there are some items to the right of your post
    where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
    look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
    Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
    Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
    Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
    Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT201250 how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.

    how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.
    I purchased a 1 TB WD passport drive, formatted for Mac. I set it up originally (mistakenly) to backup time machine. I went back and set it to "do not backup"  It still backs up evey document I edit. If I add a document when the drive is disconnected, it automatically adds it to the external drive the next time connect to the passport drive. If I remove a document the same thing happens.
    I need additional storage to free up space on my laptop hard drive. This is not working the way I want it to. Help!

    Do not backup your startup volume to another partition on the same drive. If the drive fails you have nothing. Always backup to another drive or volume on another drive.
    The I/O error usually means there's a problem with the drive. Clone ASAP, then repartition and reformat the main drive. Then restore the clone. Here's the basic process:
    You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
    Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
    Boot from the external hard drive.
    Erase the internal hard drive.
    Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
    Clone the internal drive to the external drive
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After startup do the following:
    Erase internal hard drive
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.  Do not quit Disk Utility.
    Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
    Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.

  • Superdrive works on XP/bootcamp but not on OSX?

    So, I've been through this a billion times. Even time-machined & formatted. But nothing works..
    I went through about 200 DVD's trying to put together a proposal for school and it kept failing to burn. With Toast, Disk Utility, Drag&Drop notta. Finally pulled the data onto my external, booted into Windows using boot camp, used nero, and worked without a Hitch.
    I've tried every trick on this site and on every other site possible. Tech support says that i'm free to pay em to replace the drive and tried arguing with em bout the bootcamp working etc.. (long story), but eh... fail! (mac support = worse then windows at this point)
    I have a hard time feeling this is a Hardware issue since it works on the Windows BootCamp partition but not on the Mac OSX 10.5.4 partition.
    MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E:
    Firmware Revision: ZA0E
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
    Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
    I'm not as fluent in mac as i am with windows (MCSE/MCSA) but going to 2 years of electrical school I damned well know this most likely is a software issue not hardware.
    After spending three days reading in this forum i havn't found anything that works or similar to someone saying it works in bootcamp partition but not osx... sooo just curious if anyone's got any ideas worth while..
    thanks!

    There is no way to do this and I don't believe Apple would view this as an "issue"; in my humble opinion, it is because iMacs have a gorgeous display (your choice of 21.5 or 27") and therefore were not necessarily designed to be used with a second display, whereas laptops were - hence the available option to use it in clamshell mode:

  • Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app but not with Skype.

    I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas??? OS: Windows 8.1 64bitMemory: 32GBWebCam: Microsoft VX-7000. As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter).  Already attempted: 1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam. 3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it  Thanks, - Matt Symes

    OK - I appear to have resolved the issue.  I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.    

  • Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    Hi
    Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
    In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
    If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
    In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
    Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
    At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
    However also look in the View Menu.
    Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ?  (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
    Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
    Do you see a preview here ?
    Re: GoogleTalk
    Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
    You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
    Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a  Web Browser.

  • My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

    2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

    You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
    This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

  • Ipod works on one computer but not the other?

    Can someone please help me? My ipod works on my laptop but not the desktop. When I plug the Ipod into the desktop it sometimes shows up in Itunes but says it's corrupt. Which it obviously isn't because it works fine on it's own when not plugged into a computer and it works fine when I plug it into the laptop. Also when I looked in my computer the Ipod would show up as drive j and it would flash on and off. Well, I tried plugging the Ipod into a different port and that worked as far as drive j stopped flashing on and off. I tried changing the drive name and it wouldn't let me because it always went back to drive j even after I changed it to drive z. Itunes is playing music and is up to date. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Please help.

    HP Pavilion 15-p027ne:

    Hi there @donimuha 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are getting sound from the headphones/earplugs but not from the system speakers. I am happy to assist you with this.
    As the sound is working through the audio jack, I will assume for now that the audio driver is fine. Please check through the following page, which is very comprehensive. If you are still having a problem it is possibly a hardware issue with the speakers.
    No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
    Let me know if that works for you.
