How do i find my original imovie event files. i have a lot of thumbnails, cache .mov, .mov. my events have many duplicates and i want to make space so how do i know which one is the original so i can transfer them to a usb and trash the rest? please help!

i need to delete the extra files but i want to know how to find my original ones.... i am going crazy i dont know why i have sooo many duplicates of my events....

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • Adobe Cloud has 2 different Muse programs.... how do I know which one is the newer better version?

    So I am new to Muse, and my Adobe Cloud has 2 different programs from Muse... how do I know which one is the newer better version?
    One Must program (Muse CC 2014.2)  has a black background when working on it... it looks like other Adobe programs such as Photoshop.
    The other one is light color (Muse CC) very similar to the black color Muse on functions.....
    One of the difference I notice is that the light color Muse has a few widgets in the library, while the black background Muse seems to have an empty library
    So... why are there 2 different Muse programs in my Adobe Cloud?

    Hi
    The latest version of Muse is 2014.2, so you need to uninstall another version of Muse manually.
    regarding the items in Library, you can add items in your library manually, as shown in this article

    Please let me know if you have any other query.

  • TS4006 I have several iphones on  find my iphone. How do I know which one is the correct iphone. None of them are labeled Iphone4 or 5 etc.

    I just had my iphone stolen from me. In the past I have always set up my phones an ipads on to the find my iphone service. I have never deleted them from the find my iphone account and now I have 3 iphones showing and 2 ipads. How can you tell the difference when none of them are labeled as Iphone 4, iphone 4s, iphone 5, etc. No dates are shown as when purchased so it I can't figure out which one is the correct iphone to put on lost mode and send message to.

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

    If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

    You cannot.
    When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
    Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

    can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • HT201365 How do I know which one of my app ids have locked this device?

    How do I know which one of my app ids have locked this device?
    I have 4 differnt iCloud account in my business and recently I tried to reset one of my six iPhones...is there a way to find out which app id was used on my device to lock it?

    Try to Login to all your iCloud Account one by one and then from Find My iPhone device list you will find all your devices which is associated with that Apple Id. If you have all your other iPhones with you and in working condition and connected to Internet then try to play a sound on that device from Find My iPhone to make sure it is not that device which is Locked after Restore  and the other option is Remove all your Device from your Account in iCloud.com Do not select the option of Erase or Lost Mode and once you removed all your devices from All your Apple iCloud Account Restart that iPhone once and this time you should not be asked for any Apple Id or Password to unlock your Device.

  • I appear to have a duplicate library folder which is taking up a lot of space (one outside my user profile and one inside). How do I know which one to delete?

    I seem to have duplicated my 'Library' folder - one inside and one outside my USER folder. (additionally there is a Library folder in the systems folder - but that should be there!).  I do not know which one to delete (both 8-10 GB) Help!!

    There should be at least THREE Library folders:
    1- Inside your "home" folder, the one with your user name.
    2- At the "root" level of your boot volume.
    3- Inside the System folder at the "root" level of your boot volume.
    If it's one of those three, ignore them - especially if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
    If it's some other Library folder just floating around somewhere, you can safely delete it. Note that every user account will have its own Library folder inside its "home" folder, and these you should also leave alone.

  • When I delete duplicates how do I know which version is the original song and which is the duplicate?

    I have recently transfered all my music to a new computer and duplicates have appeared in my itunes. I have chosen to 'show exact duplicates' so that it is easier for me to delete, but I can't work out which version of the song I need to delete. (When I click to delete on the top version a box appears stating 'move to recycle bin', but when I click on the second version the box which appears just says 'delete file from itunes.')
    Also - does any one know where these duplicates have emerged from?!?
    I hope I have given enough info. I would be super grateful if someone could shed some light on this!
    Thanks.

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
