Help. Movie can't find clips

I think I messed this one up. My son was importing clips into a movie project. I stopped him because it was getting to be too much. Too late. Trying to empty the trash with unwanted clips resulted in a crash. So I had the brilliant idea to delete the unwanted clips from the movie folder. But then iMovie crashed on start-up saying it can't find "Clip 26". I've trashed the .plist. I've restarted. I've deleted the movie project altogether (we can always re-import the clips which I've cleverly rescued onto an external). Restarted again. I still can't get iMovie to come up. Now I get the message, "What would you like to do?" And when I click on "create a new project," crash. Please help. I've got an anxious budding movie producer here.

Thank you but no thank you. I figured it out myself and here's what I did in case anyone else is curious.
I logged into my account and created a new movie project calling it "TestMovie." Then I dragged this file into the shared folder in the users folder. Then I logged into my son's account. I pulled the Test Movie file onto his desktop and double-clicked it, thereby forcing iMovie to open this file, and forget about being hung up on the last file with the missing clips. yeah!
I've been working with System X since 2004 ... (have a G5 at work and a separate Apple account. I just opened this one yesterday from home cuz I've never really needed to from home before)
This seemed like a basic problem to me. Is iMovie '08 really that much different at its' core? Seems like any Mac person could've helped me in any forum. Thanks for trying.

IMovie 7.1.4 project can't find clip! exclamation points everywhere!

My iMovie 7.1.4 project can't find clip! exclamation points everywhere!
I think I may have changed the name of the clip, since (long story) I had exported the finished version and thought I was done.. but that had to be deleted to make room for something in an emergency. So of course, now that I want to re-export the project, it can't find the clip.
There are yellow exclamation points on every single piece in the project (hundreds) that are all supposed to refer to one hour-long clip. The clip IS in the event library. I can see it and watch it.
How can I tell the project how to search for the clip if it now has a different name? It's RIGHT THERE! This is so frustrating. Of course I can't guess the original super long crazy clip-name.
Every music/video program on Earth allows you to search for "missing" clips. This seems really lame.
Deleting cache.plist didn't help.
Please help! I spent many hours editing, and cannot fathom re-doing this one.

I had the same thing happen. Opened iMovie and all my events were there, but there was a blank "My Project" in the project pane. Even if I double-click the project file that I'm trying to see, it doesn't show up. Were you able to resolve it on your system?
Thanks,
Dan

I can not find clips in HD, only a project file...

In Imovie 5, I can find each individual clips. I am using Imovie 6 now, can not find clips in anywhere only a project file under the Movies directory, can some one tell me please?
Ruru

Hi Ruru
Addressing right forum (iMovie6) would give better answer.
From iMovie 1 to 4 there was a media/project folder. iMovie 5 and 6 stores
Your project in a project icon. Open it by ctrl-click on it and select: Show
package content.
Now You see folder in it and Captured material is in the media folder.
When I tested iM5 and iM6 behaves in the same way. Am I missing something?

Please help, I can't find face time and Siri icon on my mini ipad? Just bought it I have the IMessage icon and is able to use it.

There is no Siri "icon". You access Siri using the Home button. But you may need to turn it on: Settings App > General > Siri. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4992
Same for the FaceTime function (but if it is ON, there will be an icon): Settings App > FaceTime > [turn it on and set you Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319

When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
How do I figure out what is not syncing?

Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you. I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again. To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

PLZ HELP ME

Try looking in your User folder.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Help Me , can't find what is wrong :S Simple code

Hello everyone, im'm back =P ...well the problem is : I can't find what's wrong with this code above. The output shoul be "-1" but it prints -4 , it should print the min. value of an array. An absolute value to do that , its simple just do: e.g ( if ( n < 0 ) n = n * -1 ; and then check what is the min. value of the array. I just copied the content of the first array to the second .
damn...what is wrong? :S
public static void main (String[] xxx) {
     int [] array = {7,-4,-1,2}
    System.out.print( "The shortest number is: "+ minValue(array));
      static int minValue(int [] x ) {
    int [] newarray = new int [x.length];
    int min = mat[0];
    for( int i = 0; i !=x.length; ++i) {
   if ( i < o) i = i * -1;
   else i = i * 1;
    newarray[i] = x[i] ;
        for (int i = 0; i != mat.length; ++i) {
      if ( min > mat[i] ) min = mat;
}return min;
Thanks!!! I realy need your help plz!

Almost!!!!! :D
it returns 1 , should return -1 LOLO this is an exercise for practice, because i've the final test tomorrow .
Is the last one , and i'm getting annoying of it :P.
That's why i copied the 1st to the 2� array (but without the signal).
U must ignore the signal when it checks, but it must print the number even if it has the signal . E.g -1 , u check ignoring the signal and the ouput must be: -1
:S

Just a question about a song!!! HELP! CAN'T FIND IT!

I was wondering if anyone could help me find a song?
It's the one that is playing in the new ipod commerical; the one where they are salsa-ing(I know that's not a word).
I can't seem to find it on itunes. I know at some point they had a playlist of all the songs that they play on the commericals, but I can't find it.
Either that, or does someone know the name?
Thank you in advance!!

Okay this is it I think!
Mi Swing Es Tropical by Nickodemus & Quantic featuring Tempo
I went to watch the video and this is what came up under it.
Hope it helps!!

Can't find Clip that is choking Batch Capture

I'm getting a Timecode error saying Final Cut has reached the end of the tape when it tries to capture a particular clip. I can't delete the clip because it's not showing up in my browser window! In other words, it doesn't exist. Is there such a thing as invisible files in Final Cut Pro?
K

The thing that's got me the most confused is when I go over to my batch capture list to see what the timecode indicates, the clip that it's having probelms with isn't listed. It doesn't exist. How do I fix a clip's timecode parameters if I can't find the clip listed anywhere. The only time I can see the name of the file (clip) is when batch capture is happening and the program lists the clip it's trying to capture. The name of the clip ends with a number. The last clp closest to it has the number CU 5-1. The program is trying to capture CU 5-2...but there is no CU 5-2!
What's going on?

Help - I can't find the "File" menu when I open iTunes

I am trying to transfer a music file from my Mac to iTunes. Directions state to click on the "File" menu when you open iTunes - but, seriously, I can't find a "File" menu item. Help - I am tech challenged. Thanks.

You might need to bring up the menu bar to see the File menu.
If you're using a version 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

Please help, I can't find the pictures which I took with my camera. Its like I never took them

I can't find the pictures which I took on my camera, I still have lots of memory left, they are hidden or something . Oh and the other thing is that when I'm trying to save a picture as something that I like its say the the directory is full even when I put a single letter. I have a huge space on my memory card, I don't know what's wrong . Please help. Thanks

See if you can boot into safe mode by holding down the shift key immediately after pressing the start button. Keep holding the shift key till a loading progress bar appears on the lower part of the screen. It will take a lot longer than normal to start this way. If you have Lion 10.7 installed you can try holding command-R keys to get intto recovery mode and run disk utility.

Help, iTunes can't find my music

I am trying to make space on my mac book pro HD because I am switching over from a 500gb 7200RPM drive to a 128 solid state HD. I moved my iTunes library over to an external drive and set the folder in preferences to point at the Itunes library on the external dive and Itunes says it can't play any of my music because it can't find the files. I have checked the file size of the file on the external and it is 15 gb - the files are there but iTunes can't connect to it.
Any one goy any ideas?

Have a look at his thread. The solution in the last post https://discussions.apple.com/message/7689469#7689469
worked for me too.

HELP - iMac can't find system file for start-up

Hi,
My Rev. B iMac (running OS 9.2) suddenly can't find the system file. I was working in MS Word for Mac when the system crashed. Upon start-up the computer couldn't find the system and showed a flashing question mark in an old floppy disk icon.
I started from my original OS 8.5 Install disk and ran disk utilities. That fixed a problem that was detected.
BUT the flashing disk continued at start-up.
I tried to "re-bless" the system folder as described in the Apple iMac trouble shooting guide, but no luck.
All my data is still on the hard drive, I just can't get the machine to start from the hard drive -- it will only start from the Install CD.
Any ideas on how I can get it to start up?
I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi, Michael -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
Installing OS 8.5 is not needed, since there is no update available to take any version of OS 8 to any version of OS 9. An OS 9 install must start with a full-install CD; for your model, that means any retail OS 9 Install CD (white label, gold 9).
What version of OS 9 was on the hard drive - OS 9.2.1, or OS 9.2.2?
What version OS 9 Install CD do you have available?

Help! can't find i phone notes on my macbook

i have a lot of notes on my iphone and they are syncing to my macbook but i can't find them anywhere on my macbook. i use entourage as my mail program but none of my iphone notes are in the note function on entourage. where are they?? what settings do i need to change so these notes show up in entourage?

You're welcome.
If your Mac is running 10.5.7 or later, at the Mail.app menu bar go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts.
Select the email account you created with the Mail.app.
Under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences, do you have Show Notes in Inbox selected?
If so, notes synced with the Mail.app will be in the account's Inbox mailbox.
If this is not selected under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences, there should be a Notes selection under REMINDERS in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer where the notes can be selected and viewed.
