HELP! Changes I'm making keep disappearing when I reopen my project...

I'm making a 25 minute video slideshow with the Ken Burns effect in iMovie. Many photos have titles in them (captions, basically). But I found several misspellings, so I corrected them. Then I opened the project again and all the corrections were gone. Everything was back the way it was!
So I corrected everything again, and the next time I opened it those corrections were gone again and things again back they way they were in the titles. (However, other changes I made, like adding photos, seem to be staying around like they should be.)
What could be causing this??? I have to fix this tonight.
(I should note that when I scrub through the video, or "Share" the project to iDVD immediately after the changes are made, the changes to the titles are there as they should be. They seem to only disappear when I close and reopen iMovie.)
I'm fairly new to this, and hate that you can't click "Save" and save your work like in a word processing document.
Thanks for any help!

This is rubbish. Yes I too have closed an iMovie project and found my changes not saved.
There is no logic here. If you have a Done button, then NOT selecting Done should void your changes, surely? And if your changes remain intact, you assume the program is saving automatically.
Not having a Save button is stupid. Please do away with the Done button and reinstate the Save button - whadya say? Then we know where we are.

  • Help!! My emails keep disappearing when I open mail. Even the new ones that start to load.

    My emails go into thin air when I open the mail icon. Both the new and old ones disappear. It gets better if I reboot, but still keep happening. This has gone on for a month now. I also tried to change my settings....ask before you delete, show the first 50 messages. I turned off the cloud. . .

    I don't know what you consider rebootting, but here are a bunch of things that you can try. Some are just - hey let's give this a shot and see!
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars - tap on your email account and turn it off - launch the mail app - then return to the settings and turn your email account on again - quit the mail app as described above - and then launch the mail app again.
    The last thing I could suggest is to delete the mail account and add it back on again.

  • All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

    I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

  • My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.  In vertical, it works fine.  I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache.  Any help will be appreciated.

    My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.   Vertically, it works fine.  I have powered off and then back on.  I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache.  Nothing has worked so far.

    Okay -- it fixed itself.  Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches.  If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
    Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps?  If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

  • Why is my audio out of sync when I reopen the project?

    Hi,
    Newbie question:
    I've synced my audio and video in the timeline, and linked everything, saved, etc, but when I reopen the project the next time I work on it, the audio is off again by a few frames.
    I can't figure out why this is happening. What step(s) am I missing?

  • ITunes Library.itl keeps disappearing when iTunes starts

    I just updated to iTunes 10.8.0.40.  Now my iTunes Library.itl file keeps disappearing.
    When iTunes starts, I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder inthe "Music" folder."
    I copy a backup from the "Previous iTunes Library" folder and then iTunes will start.  However, the file disappears again as iTunes is starting.  Right after it disappears, iTunes displays a message that says, "Checking iTunes Library..." followed by "Updating iTunes Library..."  Then I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  A folder was specified instead of a file."
    The process repeats endlessly.  How do I stop iTunes from deleting the iTunes Library.itl file as it starts?

    I fixed this by removing iTunes and installing MediaMonkey.  Most of the music I have in iTunes has been ripped from my CDs and MediaMonkey found all of those MP3's within a couple minutes.  The last time I had to rebuild my iTunes database, it took two days because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from analyzing the volume.  The few albums that I bought through iTunes, I will burn to a CD and re-rip.  Despite the name, MediaMonkey seems to be a much better program for managing music and runs significantly faster on my little HP mini.
    This is the fourth and last time I'm dealing with the problem of iTunes deleting my database.  Good riddance iTunes.

  • HELP! AE keeps crashing when i open a project!

    i was working on this text animation 2 days ago. spent 7 hours on it! restarting is not an option.
    now when i open the project AE keeps crashing at 96%.
    on the school computers so it shouldn't have anything to do with that.
    was opening from an external drive, but copied the file to the D drive and neither will open. switched computers same thing. cleared cache.
    why is it doing this? how can i fix it?
    how do i find a crash log? (i dont know how to do that)
    it was working fine just 2 days ago:(
    opens other projects just fine

    actually i fgured it out after searching the internet high and low.
    i was using dynamic link, and i think maybe that was causing the problem (even though i think it shouldn't) maybe i should have had premiere open first before AE???
    but i fixed it by changing the name of the folder the footage was in, and then opening the project and relinking the files.

  • My calendar events keep disappearing when I add them to my iphone 5 calendar.

    My calendar events keep disappearing from my iphone5 a few days after I put them in. I tried all the fixes listed in other questions, but it's not a matter of syncing or not, the appointments disappear and they're not anywhere else either. I need the appointments to stay on my phone, I don't add appointments any other way or on any other device, and when they're gone, I have no idea what I'm missing. It's screwing up my work schedule because I don't know what has disappeared.

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

  • The small icons beside my bookmarks, like the F for facebook, keep disappearing when i close firefox, why is this?

    the small icons beside my bookmarks, logos for each site keep clearing when i close firefox. when i open the bookmark the logo comes back while im on the site, but when i close it again, it goes again, why is this?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    Using [[Clear Recent History]] to clear item when you close Firefxo can also cause problems, so you can try to uncheck items in you use that feature.

  • Saved passwords keep disappearing when I reboot my MBP

    There must be something wrong in my settings........ don't know what it is though...... The saved passwords disappear when I reboot my MacbookPro. I use Firefox 8.0.1

    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?<br />
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

  • Motion paths change from smooth to linear when I reopen a project

    Hi All
    I'm using Motion 3 and I am finding that after setting my bezier points to smooth, then saving the project, when I reopen the file all the points I had previously set to smooth are now linear?!
    Does anyone have a clue why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks to the people at The Cow!
    It would appear that LOCKING layers causes this to happen. Like other people I thought that locking my layers would prevent accidental changing of parameters but locking the layer actually causes this parameter change.
    I hope Apple sort out this glitch.
