HELP! Project due! iMovie 06 acting weird!

Sorry
Somehow I accidently posted this in the iMovie 08 discussions and I realize it needs to be in this section -- so here's my question:
Hi! I'm hoping someone can help us! My daughter has been working on a short 10 min historical documentary in iMovie 6.0.3 Everything was going great (we use this program often.) It has lots of still image clips that pan in out with the ken burns effect. She added audio to it using Quicktime audio files (which before she just drag and dropped into the timeline -- now she had to move them into iTunes and add them from the media window but that is no problem really except it seemed like the program was acting squirrely) She has had to redo some of the audio recordings and as a result some of the lengths of the photo image clips need to be changed. The problem is that suddenly all the clips are dimmed in the timeline (they weren't last night!!!) and we cannot grab the edge of a clip/image and lengthen it. It won't show us the little handle thing. We can change the length manually in the photo settings window but it's a real pain since we have to mess with it to get it it to just the right length!!
I have no idea what changed -- what we might have accidently reset. I have shut down and restarted the program and the computer several times. I have checked the preferences and then discarded the preferences list and emptied the trash and restarted the computer. I have tried to open other iMovie projects that we have started and the timeline items are dimmed on those, too!
What did we do? And how can I change it -- this is at a bad time since this is now due for a competition and she needs to fix these items before she can submit it!
Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Check to make sure that iMovie has sufficient free disk space to operate--at least 10GB. Update all of your iLife programs to current versions. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Do the permissions repair whether or not you update.
Usually when iMovie acts strangely, it often helps to close iMovie and trash the file com.Apple.iMovie.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. But, you said you already did that.
Good luck with this.

Imovie HD acting weird; won't show finished movie in the big screen

My Imovie HD has started acting totally weird. First off, it wouldn't show finished movie projects in the large viewing screen. Then there were clips that no longer showed up. Sometimes I can hear the sound of a clip, but not see it. I tried compressing a project in quicktime to publish it on the Web and I got an error. Then the imovie started acting weird. Now when I open it, it just closes on its own.
I've run disk utility and no problems were found. I also tried Tech Tool. And I couldn't find the plist file for imovie at all to delete it. I've also emptied the cache files. HELP!

There is probably an app. malfunction. You should have a certified Apple salesman look at it. Other than that, i am not sure what to do.

Need Help - Projects Due Next Week!

Hello all,
I am trying to absorb all of the information available for ODI/ODP/ODQ. I have several Proof-Of-Concept projects due next week.
The following are the project POC requirements:
Scenarios:
Duplicate Person - Based on a single source table, de-duplicate the records based on LastName plus 1st character of Firstname plus (DOB -or- SSN).
Inconsistent Data - Single table with thousands of entries separated out by a "division". Each division could use a column for differing purposes. For example, Division A uses ColumnX as "Achievement Level" and Division B uses ColumnX as "Work Skills". There are two targets in this case. So I would have to route the records from Division A to TargetA, and records from Division B to TargetB.
Dirty Data - Table containing "standard" code columns with invalid values. Need to compare these values to a code cross-reference table formatted like:
CodeXRef Table
Category VARCHAR(20)
SourceCode VARCHAR(100)
TargetCode VARCHAR(100)
The standard code from the source table would be "looked up" in the CodeXRef table (by field category). The TargetCode value would be used to populate the target. If a match is not found in this case, I need to record the error and move on.
Now to the problem - The install of Oracle DQ (which I assume I need for Scenario - Duplicate Person) does not work on my Windows XP machine (TSS Scheduler doesn't respond during install - see previous thread I have left). The install works on a Win 2003 server we have, but going through the DQ tutorial, on the last few pages, it gives instructions on how to export the sample project for ODI. However, after following the instructions I receive several errors (see a previous thread I left today). So far this tool does not seem to be ready to use, at least for Windows platforms. Does anyone have a few moments to help me out? Perhaps walk through fixing the install? Give best practices/tips on how to achieve the scenarios listed above in the short time frame I have?
I have read the instruction manuals, read this forum (almost all threads) and still don't have answers. I have several types of Instant Messengers installed, so communications should not be an issue.
Thanks!
Ben

Although the default action of the submit button is to send the data to the processing script identified in the action attribute, you don't want the form to be submitted when you're using Ajax.
The following is a very simple script that outputs to the browser console the value entered in the form field. To keep the script simple, I have used the W3C Event model, so this won't work in IE 8 or earlier. But it should help you understand how to get the value from a form input field using JavaScript.
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
    <p>
        <input type="text" name="user_input" id="user_input">
    </p>
    <p>
        <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
    </p>
</form>
<script>
// Add event listener to submit button
document.getElementById('submit').addEventListener('click', getVal, false);
function getVal(e) {
    // Get the value of the input field
    var val = document.getElementById('user_input').value;
    // Output it to the console
    console.log(val);
    // Prevent the form from submitting
    e.preventDefault();
</script>

HELP! My computer is acting weird...

In what way my computer was acting funny? Well, for one thing it's taken me a month to ask for help because my computer would not respond when I clicked on the button provided by apple to move the screen forward. My computer has been slow, and I mean S***L***O***W, and freezing up at least twice a day, sometimes more. It's not letting me move into secondary screens when I click on the button, I can no longer look at picture galleries because the pics wont advance. Now to me, it sounds like a virus, but then I'm told that apples don't get virus'. Well, there's something wrong with my computer and I don't know how to fix it. I'm not computer savvy. I usually read my e-mail and look things up on the Net and that's it. I never open mail that I don't know who sent it and I rarely , if ever download programs that are not sent by auto update (like I downloaded program so I could print coupons and Post Office labels). Oh, I have been downloading pictures. Could someone have attached something to a pic do you think? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well it says one file is infected, it says this...
I checked my library and this is what I found...
"Started scanning
Please note, large files will take a long time to scan.

One or more infected files were found, but were left where they are. You can either deal with them yourself, or scan again with the preferences set to move them into a different folder."

PLEASE HELP PROJECT DUE IN TOMMORROW

Hi, I am really stuck and have a project to hand in tommorow,
I created a web site in dmx and linked it to the following access
database
ID, SEE
where see is a hyperlink in a access db coloum to a page of a
word document. However when I search for a cretain ID the link in
the see coloum is not clickable as a hyperlink. Does any one know
where I am going wrong?

krazykris,
primalx is right, you are probably outputting the hyperlink
and just outputting it wont make it "clickable" you need to code it
as a link like primalx said, except if you want it to look like a
link you need to replace the ID to SEE (you should really try
naming you columns differently ID is pretty vague try something
like linkID and SEE is a common word with no correlation to you
database try pageLink or something...
<cfquery datasource="whatever" name="listings">
select ID, SEE
From yourdb
</cfquery>
<cfoutput query="listings">
<cfif SEE neq "">
<a href="#URLENCODEDFORMAT(SEE)#">#ID#</a>
<cfelse>
#SEE#
</cfif>
</cfoutput>

HELP! my iPod is acting weird.

okay, so i've had my second gen. ipod nano for about a year now, and this is the first it's been this way. This morning, it worked perfectly fine, but on the way home from school, i tried turning it on to listen to it on the bus, and it wouldn't turn on. I immediately just thought that something in my purse had bumped into the play button, and so my iPod was running, so it ran out of battery. When i got home, i plugged in the USB chord for it to charge, but the backlight didn't come on. i know it's not dead because of the battery because it's run out of battery before, and when i plugged in the charger, the backlight came back on and the charging symbol popped up. This time, it didn't turn on at all. I ALWAYS keep my ipod in my purse. I also use a leather protective cover that closes over the whole iPod and you have to flip the cover open in order to use the ipod. The protective cover also has cushion, so if something in my purse DID hit the ipod, i don't see how it could do any damage since it is well protected. I have no idea why it's not turning on. Do i need to replace the battery or something? i don't know if i do, because it was working perfectly fine this morning. It takes me about 45 mintues to get to school, and when i turned it off, the battery was still full. what's going on?? does anyone know??? PLEASE HELP!

Leave the iPod charging for at least 30 minutes then Reset it (turn the hold switch off [no orange showing] and then hold down the menu and center buttons for 6 seconds). You may have to try resetting it several times. If it revives, fully charge it and make sure you have no alarms set in clock or calendar. And make sure to slide the hold button on when you put it in your purse.

Help! I can't import iMovie HD project to iMovie 11

I have this project I was working on for hours in iMovie HD (v. 6.0.3), but I wasn't happy with the editing features so I decided to upgrade to iMovie 11. In iMovie 11 (v. 9.0.8), I followed the command of File > Import > iMovie HD Project. Then I selected the project I had been working on with "optimize video" checked and the "Save to" location being HDD.
Once I clicked "Import" I got the following with absolutely no progress bar and no video clips. I have also tried unchecking the "optimize video" box and with different old iMovie HD projects and I always get the same thing: a blank project with no video clips. I also checked for updates for both iMovie 11 and iMovie HD and restarted my computer.
HELP!

Hi
iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one product in up-grade
iMovie'08 to 11 - a compleatly different program with no relation to iMovie 1 - HD6 what so ever.
iMovie'08 to 11 are in my opinion no gain at all over iMovie HD6 only a severe loss of functions.
BUT I USE - miniDV tape = interlaced SD-Video and for this iMovie HD6 is the best tool - if one doesn't go for FinalCut Express or Pro (not Pro-X) - as these are realy the best ever done - for my video works.
So I would stay in iMovie HD6 and complete the Movie - or -
Start all over in Video-editor of choice (the one You like)
There are no working transcioding tools to move project over from iMovie HD6 to ANY THING ELSE - Not iM'08-11 or FinalCut any version - transitions, texts and other editings will not travel over in an editable form if at all.

Help with Spry, acting weird in Mac Os 10.5 10.6, 10.7 and Ios Devices

I use Dreamweaver CS4 for designing our school website. The url is http://www.stpiusxschool.org
The menu bar on the left is built with a Spry Asset, it is to expand to different choices on some of the lines. The issue started about a month ago, if I click on the first item that should expand out (Parent Resources) it will not expand out, then I choose the second one (Student Resources) it expands out, I go back to Parent Resources and it will expand....this happen on Mac 10.5 and Ios Devices (Ipad, and Iphone)
On Mac 10.6 menu bars will never expand out.
I have tried many things, I have ran the Spry Updater and uploaded those files. I have built a page outside of my site, it appears to work ok, then copied that Spry Asset folder into the site, no luck.
I have built a second spry on a test page within the site, and tried it out, it doesn't seem to work correct either. It can be accessed off the main page mentioned above, scroll to the bottom and click on test, that is just what it is a test page.
School is starting soon and this site is used a lot for resources during the day.
I have called Adobe and got no where with them but that even took hours.
If someone could help me out that would be awesome.
By the way, I know nothing about coding itself.
Thanks

You have got two problems
The menu is acting weird in Mac as well as on PC
The menu does not behave in IOS devices
The solutions
Add the DOCTYPE Declaration to your document(s)
Replace the current SpryMenuBar for an IOS friendly MenuBar
1. You can add the HTML5 document type as follows, making sure that there are no blank lines before <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>St Pius X School des moines iowa</title>
The title already existsin your document. I put it there so that it is easier to see where the rest goes.
2. There is a Spry Menu Bar 2.0 available here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2141544

Help with recovering lost project in iMovie '09

Thank you in advance for your help! I may have accidentally deleted a very important rcproject in my iMovie project folder. I've searched using Finder. I even downloaded Stellar Phoenix in hopes of finding the project. No luck so far. Is there any other tricks to find missing projects in iMovie '09?

Check to see if it is in the Trash ( at the far right of the dock). If it is, drag it back to the Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
Better yet, if you are running time machine, go back in time and bring a copy of the rcproject file back.

Need help asap, project due monday!

Hey everyone,
I'm a college student and I have a final project due on monday.
I'm running into a MAJOR issue which I've never had before. I know this is probably a noobie issue but any help would be fantastic.
I have text on it's own layer, typed it directly into flash, there are two text fields on this layer. I created at motion tween to move the text from the center of my stage to the top of my stage at about halfway on my scene1 timeline and then it sticks there til the end of that scene. My issue is, my text will display and animate when I run the timeline in flash. But when I hit CTRL Enter for the preview, it's no where to be found. I've even tried embedding the text to see if that would help! Kinda freakin' out here, so any help would be great. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I'm using Flash Professional CS5 with an ActionScript 3.0 file.
Kindest Regards,
Dingo

post a link to your .fla and i'll take a look

I cannot finalize a project in iMovie, notwithstanding 175g of memory. iMovie says there is a problem with the heap zone. Worried about a virus or other issue. Please help.

I cannot finalize a project in iMovie, notwithstanding 175g of memory. Could this be a virus or other operating problem. Have shut down iMovie several times and moved more projects to hard drive to free up space. Help!

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the application down in Dock)
But can mean many thing's - My first thought is
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)
175Gb should be enough.

I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems: When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen. Help!

You can split a project in two by doing this.
1) Go to the Project Library View.
2) Select your project, and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give it a name like "your project name - part 1".
3) Do this again. This time name it "your project name - part 2"
4) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the second half.
5) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the first half of the project.
At the end you should have your original project, plus the same project in two parts.

HELP! Project due! iMovie 06 acting weird!
