How do you delete events in iMovie

I put some videos from our family camcorder onto iMovie, but now I changed my mind; I don't want them in iMovie. When I try to delete the event, (i right click it and click "move event to trash") it says, "The library must contain at least one event." But it does! Help!

It would seem that the event you want to delete is the only one in the library.  As soon as you create another event you will be able to delete it.

  • How do I delete events in Imovie

    my mac is working so slowly. I think one of the problems is that my events folder has over 8 hours of video. However, when I try to click on it to delete it, it won't let me. It doesn't separate each event. It's just one big event. When I click on FILE, MOVE TO TRASH. It tell me "I must select at least 1 event". Well, I would if it would break down the events!
    Please help!!
    Thank you

    m2funky,
    In order to remove clips from your iMovie Library, they must first be 'rejected.' The steps below detail how to go about rejecting a clip or clips. Once the desired content has been marked as 'rejected,' you can utilize the 'Move to Trash' function to remove those clips from iMovie. Note that this will remove entire clips (even if you only 'reject' a small portion of a clip). If you inadverdently remove a clip and would like to restore it to iMovie, you can choose 'Undo Move to Trash' under the Edit menu.
    In the browser, select a range, a clip, or multiple clips you want to rate.
    Do the following:
    If you don’t like the selection: Choose Mark > Reject (or press the Delete key).
    A red line appears at the top of frames you’ve marked as rejected.

  • There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

    There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

    It says 'To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.'
    However I only have one account. I've tried to sign out and in several times. But it doesn't work. I do remember changing my password recently. Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie. I updated the mountain lion, thinking I'd get the iphoto and imovie done later. However now this problem has come up. Thanks for responding. Hoping to hear from you soon again regarding this.

  • How do you delete subscriptions in iCal?

    How do you delete subscriptions in iCal?

    I m upset...
    Same as above except I can complete and further detail the problem.
    1) when using ical event subscriptions, you are downloading an URL which goes to implement ical.
    2) Of course when I am going to ical calendar list, I right click on the mouse and I erase the calendar subscription. No problem about that !
    3) Most of us are intuitively trying to solve and fix the problem we can have. Accordingly my hesitations made that I have subscribed several times the same ical event. (7 times....)
    4) Why 7 times ? because I was doing what you have recommended above, I mean erasing the Ical event subscribed and then re subscribing it...
    5) each time you re trying to make it appeating again into ical because you want that subsribed event, it is occuring on ical the exact numer of time you have subscribed the event previously.
    6) In my case, 7 times .... and if I am continuing like this it will never end...
    SO THE QUESTION IS : How to erase the PREVIOUS URL event subscription ??? because it is stored somewhere in the system ... and finally have only a UNIQUE URL subscription.

  • Where do deleted events in imovie go?

    it says "trash" but apparently there is no dedicated trash for imovie and the deleted events do not show in my mac trash. what is up? where are these deleted files? i have seen others ask this question on boards but no one seems to know where they actually go and if they are, in fact, deleted. anyone?

    Just so there is no mistaking my question..i delted an event in imovie 10.0.2 on my macbookpro which i updated to maverick last week. the event was gone from my imovie library but never showed up in my finder trash. i DID NOT empty the trash before i looked there. i tried a few experimental deleting events from imovie and it never shows up in my mac finder trash. question: anyone know if, indeed, the event was deleted and if so, how (since i did not empty the trash, nopr did it even show up to empty)? And if not, where did the deleted events go?

  • Once you add background music, but then want to change it, how do you delete background music?

    Oncxe you add background music to i-movie, then want to change it, how do you delete audio clip?

    If you are referring to music you added to the timeline in iMovie simply click the green audio clip to select it. Once it has a yellow border around it you can use the delete key on keyboard or the edit->cut menu command. Now drag in your new audio file as you did on the original.
    If you are referring to background music that was in the original video file then place your cursor over the middle of the green audio waveform below the video and a double arrow will appear. Hold down your left mouse button and drag down to mute the audio. You can now drag in your new audio from iTunes and drop it below the video, dragging it to where you want it in the timeline.

  • How do you open a duplicate iMovie project?

    How do you open a duplicate iMovie '11 project? I tried opening it and it didn't work. The file says .rcproject. All of the iMovie events are still there.

    The first thing to check is whether he has moved the files out of the Movies/iMovie Projects folder. If they are not there, imovie will not see them.
    If iMovie does not see several projects, it could be a preferences issue.
    For how to trash preferences see this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
    It is also possible for a project to get corrupted. In this case, I would trash preferences and restore the project from Time Machine as you suggested.

  • How do you delete an app--easy to do in iOS but how do you do it on an iMac?

    How do you delete an app on an iMac? Easy to do in iOS, but can't figure it out on an iMac.

    Usually you can drag it from the applications file to the trash.   But there are some exceptions and those may require you to consult the developer's site.   The rule is, never install an app before you have details of how to uninstall it.   Being wise after the event, I suppose, but worth thinking about.

    How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

    Hi Cynthia!  If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete.  Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF).  Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE.  You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone!  Hope it helps!

  • HT4528 How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s

    How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s?  It's taking up about 10GB of 32 GB capacity.

    After much searching on the web and reading many (sometimes amusing) posts on this topic here is what I have found.
    In Settings>General>Usage my saved mesages were using 3.2Gb and no apparently immediate way of deleting them.
    However as the good book says "seek and ye shall find".
    SO this is where I went:
    Settings>iCloud>Account> then scroll down to ADVANCED and select Mail; again scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced and yet again scroll to the bottom (well at least to DELETED MESSAGES) and tap on the line called Remove.
    Here at last you will find a setting that enables you to select the period after which iOS will remove your deleted messages.
    The shortest period is one day so you will haev to wait 24 hours to finally have that memory back but it should work and is a nice feature in iOS although it is well burried!!

    Hi,
    My version of "your Starter for ten.."
    Some websites are able to override the tab setting you may have set and open a second window behind the current open one.
    Use the Red/Close button top left when this happens.
