How do I get iMovie 11 to open again?

I was working on putting together a few clips taken on my new iPhone 4s 1080p
maybe 10 minutes worth.  I decided to quit iMovie and finish it later.  Now when I
try to open iMovie it just gives me the spinning pinwheel.  When I go to force quit it
it says it is not responding.  I have tried repairing my preferences in Disk Utility.
Can I download a new copy of iMovie?

You have to look at right spot.
Macintosh HD (Mac OS) / Users / Your account / Library / Preferences
• Delete iMovie pref. file
iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
Yours Bengt W

    Once you have obtained an external drive and connected it you will 'clone' your internal drive to it.
    Download Carbon Copy Cloner (it is not free but there is a fully functional trial version which is). Use it to clone your internal drive to your external drive. When that is done you will reboot from the clone and use Disk Utility to erase the internal drive (choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) as the format (this is normally preset, but check). Make sure to give the external drive a 'distinctive' name, don't want to get drives mixed up in this process.
    Once that is done you will use Carbon Copy Cloner (from the clone) to restore the external to the internal.

  • How can I get TB to open again and accept the emails Carbonite restored recently?

    A large number of emails were deleted from my Inbox for no reason I could discern. I downloaded all the missing folders and files from Carbonite, but I can't get TB to open now. I get this message when I try: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." Since I can't get TB to run, I have no way to close it. Restarting makes no difference. The nice folks at Carbonite confirmed that they had downloaded my emails onto my computer, but said that the Thunderbird problem was not their area of concern. And, if my problem was not solved in 30 days (this occurred about a week ago), they would automatically delete my back-up of these emails from their server.

    *Goto Task Manager > Process > Check for "Thunderbird"
    **If its running > End Process Tree
    if your using windows check for malware
    If your using IMAP create a new folder and move your emails from old profile to new profile

  • How do I get iMovie HD 06 again?

    Some time ago, I was asking in this forum how to downgrade my iMovie 08 to the previous version and I got a link with a downloadble version of iMovie HD 06. Can somebody help me?

    I use both iMovie 09 and iMovie 06 (iMovie 06 about 80%). But when I need better quality I use iMovie 06.
    Google is good for finding things on the Web.
    Many users want iMovie 6.0.4 also, but you can not download it FROM APPLE.
    If you want to have both iMovie 06 and iLife 08/09 (and most do) just install iMovie 06 first, then iLife 09. You are now UN-STOPPABLE!
    You can find iMovie 06 on the iLife 06 install disc. You can buy iLife 06 on Amazon or eBay.
    But be prepared to pay about double the cost of iLife 09 (but well worth every penny). Seller's are becoming aware of its value.

  • How can I get imovie to open my movies made on previous iMac?

    I have transferred all my movies from my old computer (iMac 10.5.3) to a new 27" on OS 10.6.5. I have resisted installing the newest iLife after some warnings against doing so.
    The new version of iMovie won't open my movies which are listed there, but the old imovie app. doesn't seem to be there or want to open.

    Hi Bengt, yes it was, but I have solved the problem by copying the old iMovie app onto a disk and then installing it on the new computer. Works fine!
    Thanks for your help.

  • How can two users work on iMovie?  My husband is working on a memorial video for a family member who passed, I plan to edit but he had to take his computer to work.  I have the iMovie project on a zip drive.  How do I get it to open in my imovie?

    You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
    Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

  • Error Message regarding Facetime: I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

    I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

    The Beta version of Facetime is a free test/trial version that Apple placed on some computers in the past.  It has expired -- to get a working Facetime version back you must go to the App store and purchase "Facetime for Mac" which will cost you 99 cents.

  • I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

    I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

    It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
    To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
    I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.

    Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

  • How can I get iMovie 10 to see my iPhoto Library after I relocated it.

    How can I get iMovie 10 to see my iPhoto Library after I relocated it. I moved my iPhoto Library to a secondary hard drive, because my main SSD wasn't large enough. I then upgraded to IMove 10.0.4 and also moved my iMovie Library to the secondary hard drive. When I highlight the iPhoto Library in iMovie there is nothing there. Any ideas on how to get iMove to find my relocated iPhoto Library?

    I think I may have solved my own problem. I left cliked on the relocated iPhoto Library and went to "Open with >." I then went to "Other...." I then set the wind located in the bottom labled "Enable:" to "All Applications" and picked iMovie. It gave me a error, but the ultimate result was that iMove now was linked to my iPhoto Library.

  • I bought a used macbook air, with reinstalled the OS without iMovie. How can I get iMovie on App free of charge as a default in macbook air ?

    I bought a used macbook air, with reinstalled the OS without iMovie. How can I get iMovie on App free of charge as a default in macbook air ?

    Unfortunately, as recommended by the lady from CA, as long as the Mac is still associated with the Apple ID of the original owner, you can't even buy those iLife apps with that Mac. You will always get the alert to download them with the original owner's Apple ID.
    As suggested by the chavo from España, you need the original owner to contact Apple Care* and request that the OS and the iLife apps be disassociated from his Apple ID. Then you should be free to OS X Recovery to resinstall the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac and install the iLife apps. Afterward, before using any of the iLife apps you need to open the Mac App Store (MAS) to the Purchases pane and Accept these apps into your MAS account's Apple ID. If you use any of the iLife apps before you have accepted them into your account, as per the app's Terms of Use, they all become one-trick-ponies that can not be downloaded onto another Mac or updated.
    OS X Recovery -
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    *If you bought the Mac from a 2nd hand shop and don't have access to the original owner, you may need to provide Apple a purchase receipt to offer proof of sale.

  • HT6114 After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly then nothing happens. How can I get Outlook to open?

    After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011).  Outlook flashes briefly but does not open.  How can I get Outlook to open?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.
