First time launch problems - no transition fx - iSight turned itself off

Just got a new 2gHz white MacBook. Migrated my old Home folder from clone of dead Tibook 10.3.9 via iPod. Before opening iMovie HD 6.0.2 for first time, I trashed the old iMovie I believe migrated.
Updated to 10.4.7 released today.
iMovie HD 6.0.2 imediately reported 'There is a problem with the transition effect X' repeatedly. I could Cancel or Okay, but no Fix, so I okayed each and selected Make Magic Movie.
Next I selected iSight (built in), MPEG-4 Widescreen. iSight powered up and I could see myself, but when I continued, iSight powered down, and I gave up.
Thanks in advance for any help. Feel free to email [email protected]

Mike,
Magic Movie is meant for pulling already shot video off a camera and creating a movie.
Perhaps that's your problem.
If you are just going to use your built in iSight, choose iSight as the video format when you create a new project.
Not sure about the other error message. Have you ever installed any third party plugins for iMovie.

  • My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer it turns itself off

    My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer the screen just shuts down and nothing happens. Occasionally it might work but the battery is already as low as it can go and turns it self off. What should i do?

    So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or when connected to a wall charger?  If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
    Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you. 

  • Set date and time automatically keeping turning itself off?

    Every time I go to the App Store I get a pop-up stating that it can't connect and that this may be caused by an incorrect date and time setting.  I go to Settings and discover that "Set Automatically" has somehow turned itself off.  I can turn it back on and then access the App Store.  Until the next time.  When the whole problem starts over.  Why won't it stay on Set Automatically?  Thanks.

    Try this first. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you can reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. That will turn all of the settings back to factory defaults and you will have to enter them again. You will not lose any data.
    You can also try restoring from a backup - if you have a recent backup. The backup contains the device settings and that just might work. It worked for me when I was experiencing the very same problem that you are having.

  • My iPad mini keeps turning itself off and then the apple logo keeps flashing constantly, i have charged it fully and restored it many times. what can i do?

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • My iPhone4s turned itself off and will not turn back on unless it is charge data all times. I need help and answers please.

    My iPhone4s turned itself off and will not turn back on unless it is charged at all times. I need help and answers please.

    And we would need more info. "will not turn back on unless it is charged at all times." is pretty obvious: the phone will obviously not turn on unless it is charged.
    Describe your problem clearly.

  • Turning itself off, resetting time to 2008 and won't charge...only in the last 2 days -what's happened????

    In the last 2 days my Macbook has twice turned itself off just out of nowhere - not even any noise, then when i get it back on it's reset to midnight Jan 2008? It also stops charging as well, the plug in just turns dead, no lights, no charge. Even if i unplug it, plug it back in etc.  The time eventually resets itself but that's not the point - is anyone else having these problems?? Dodgy update somewhere maybe? help!!!!

    P.S. when it plugs into the computer, it doesn't always Sync- it thinks it's unplugged too fast for itunes to recognize it.
    The phone also crashes ALL the time (even with the application for the phone settings- I have only basic apps). My itunes crashes a lot too, but I've re-installed and all that- I think the phone is crashing it.

  • Has anyone with sprint have time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turning itself off?

    has anyone with sprint had time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turn itself off?

    Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged. 
    What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

  • My Iphone 3gs turns itself off and resets the date/time to Jan 1st 1970

    Hi all,
    My 3gs turns itself off (need to use the top button to turn on) and when it restarts; the time has been reset to Jan 1st 1970 at 00.00.
    This has happened a few times; what is wrong and how do I fix it.
    Cheers

    Hi Simon,
    I recently got a new refurbished phone because my old one suffered some water damage. About a day after i got the new one it started doing the excat same thing yours is doing. It didn't matter if i wasrunning applications or not, the phone doesn't get hot or anythign, it just turned off.
    Sometimes when i turned it back on the date and time have not been reset but a little while later the phoen would turn off and the date would reset.
    I spoek to the Apple support team on the phone yesterday and they told me to take it back to the store i went to but first try the latest update.
    Did the latest update last night and it seemed to be working fine until this morning when it turned off and reset the date/tme on turning it back on.
    Ive since made an appointment with the Store i originally went to for tomorrow and also for the support team to call me today.
    I'll update here if they say anthing new or somethign that helps.

    It could have powered off. Try holding the sleep button down for a few seconds until the apple logo appears to restart it

    When you restore, you can restore from backup or as new.
    Did you or did you not restore it?

  • Camera problem: after taking a photo the camera turns itself off ...

  • Since updating to Ios7 I can't download films on my iPad mini, also iCloud seems to turn itself off. My other iPads are fine, as the mini was under warranty, they have given me a new one. However the problem is still there.

    Since updating to IOS 7 I can't download purchased movies, I think the problem is iCloud, as that also keeps turning itself off.
    I've been given a new iPad by my local apple store as it was under warranty, but I'm still having exactly the same, so it's not the pad, also my other pads are ok

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely.
