How do you find an event in iMovie? I input a file today. It has disappeared.

Today, i input a new event form my Sony camcorder into the latest version of iMovie. It is labeled 2014-1-11. I then imput another event and labeed it 2014-1-10. The first file name disappeared. After about 75% of the second file was inported, iMovie unexpectedly quit. After I opened iMovie again, both file names had disappeared. I started to input the file that quit for a second time. I received an error message that the file name 2014-1-10 was already in use, however I cannot find either of the files. How can I find the missing files?
Thanks.
P.S. So far, I do not like this version of iMovie. I was getting half decent at using iMovie11. The new version has been difficult for me to use. It is taking forever to insert photos. I am very frustrated. I have talked to a few people at the Apple store and not getting a warm feeling that the situation will improve. Does anyone know when a new version if iMovie for Dummies, or any kind of a comprehensive book on the latest version of iMovie, will be available?

Much appreciated, James. However, I found this response confusing, because until I read your message, I had renamed files in the finder by clicking near the begining of the file name. Maybe other people use that method to, so they may have initially misunderstood your response. So I thought I would mention that renaming in the finder with "enter" isn't the only way, but it appears so with iMovie. Thanks!

How do you find out what application is generating a plist file in your preference folder?

I have had two similar warnings come up in Drive Genius 3, a program that I use to manage my drives. The warnings occur during a daily verification of preferences on my main drive, a 256GB SSD.
They state:
"The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.analogsolutions.Football.plist' may be corrupted."
"The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/org.machinedevelop.National.plist' may be corrupted."
Per Drive Genius' advisement, "Corrupted files can cause appplication crashes and should be moved to the Trash." I delete the files, however they are regenerated each day.
Q: How do you figure out what application is generating a preference file? And is there a way to tell if this is a OS generated preference file?
I have searched online and cannot find any information about either Analog Solutions or Machine Develop nor am I able to discern what these particular .plist files are for...
Q: Are these two .plist files truly potentially harmful?
Thanks for the Help!

Hi Everyone, sorry for the late response. I have been monitoring my Preferences Folder; every moment I am on my computer trying to catch what application/process generates these files. I was hoping to try your suggestions, but oddly enough the offensive .plist files have not returned since the last time I deleted them about a week ago.... strange...
In any case, I have responded to some of your suggestions and questions that I have information on:
X423424X wrote: Ok, can you double click the .plist file? If so it should attempt to launch the Property List Editor (in your Utilities folder). That way you can look at stuff in the plist. Maybe (hopefully) there's something in there that can shed some light on who is creating it. If Property List Editor cannot open the file (some apps create files that have the .plist extension but don't actually create the proper XML format -- probably what ProSoft was alluding to) then try opening it with a text editor.
The .plist file when opened in text editor contains a string of (what to me seems to be) an arbitrary list of numbers.

Yes, seems likely...
Linc Davis wrote: It should be fairly easy to find out what application is creating them, if you really care. Move the files to the Desktop, then log out. Log back in while holding the shift key as you click the "Log In" button. That will prevent your login items from loading, among other things. Open your account preferences and launch the login items one at a time by double-clicking them in the list. After each one, check to see whether the files have been recreated.
Ran through login, one by one, no luck in identifying the application(s).
X423424X wrote: Another thought, lock the plists on the hope that whatever is using them will "choke" and complain about it (no guarantee that will work but worth a try).
Thanks, the lock idea is the one I will try next if they ever reappear...
X423424X wrote: Also, I don't recall if I asked this but if those plists are deleted while logged in will they be recreated during that same login session. Or do they only appear after you deleted them and then and then logged out and back in? Or do you have to reboot to recreate them?
Unfortunately I do not know for certain. Though from all my login/startup/reboot tests I believe that they are not directly linked to starting up the machine or loging in either.
I'm not really certain why the .plist have not returned. I haven't uninstalled any programs, though I did run a couple updates for some widgets within the last week; however that was about 3 days after I deleted the last set of .plist files and usually they reappered everyday. In any case, given that they have not been regenerated I guess my problem is solved per se, at least I am no longer getting that annoying warning everyday. Still, it's a bit of a mystery
Thanks again for all the help!

How do you find out if the transmitter and/or receiver leaves the session ?

So , how do you find out if the transmitter and/or a receiver leaves the session , is there an event when this happens ?

1. There is no list available from your end.
2. You can't actually check. If you suspect a device has been, deauthorize it twice and then authorize it.

How do you find a table that doesn't have a specific word in it.

I have two questions.
questions 1
How do you find a table that doesn't have a specific word in it by using a query on the whole database?
questions 2
How would i list all of my cars names in my database not showing duplicates?
I have tried, tried and tried some more to get both of these, but I guess i don't know how to query a specific word.
I also don't know how to query everything in just 1 column name.
If anyone could help with these that would be great I have been trying queries for over an hour now and no luck.
Thanks

I tried the all_tab_columns, just like you did it, however that just gives me the column name I am looking for what is not in a column.
For example I need to find all the tables where mustang is not = 'red' but using a single query i need to find all of the tables.
As for number 2
I am looking for something like this
select distinct column_name
from all_tab_columns
where column_name ='AcertainColumn';Now I'm even more confused. In your example, is MUSTANG a column name? Or is it the value of a MODEL column in the CARS table? And how could that possibly relate to something that exists in multiple tables?
If your data model is at all reasonable, I would expect that you would just want
SELECT *
FROM cars
WHERE model = 'Mustang'
AND color != 'Red'but I can't see how this would relate to data stored in multiple tables.

How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did?

Using MYsql How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did. There are many titles to the different charities that is under the othpaytitle of the Otherpay table, I however just want to extract the non-contributors for a particular charity title. Is there anyway to do this? When I do the the syntax below it comes up as an "empty set". The search is done by way of the table Id matching and left joins. Please see below.
SELECT moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, sum(otherpay.othpayamt) as NO_Contribution, quadlt.ltfname as quad
FROM name
LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
LEFT JOIN quadlt ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
WHERE Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
AND name.type = 'BOI'
AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
GROUP BY brother
ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother

Just guessing based on your query, and assuming the above query works, just insert a "where" condition. I also removed the SUM function. Also, "AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL" may not be needed.
SELECT moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, otherpay.othpayamt, quadlt.ltfname as quad
FROM name
LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
LEFT JOIN quadlt ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
WHERE Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
AND name.type = 'BOI'
AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
AND othpayamt=0
ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother

How do you find out what your Apple ID password is?

A friend of mine forgot their Apple ID password and can't log in. They also don't have access to their email, but that's not the issue. He wants to know how you find out what your current Apple ID password is. He awnsered his security questions but all it would let him do is reset his password, without finding out what his current one is. How do you find out your Apple ID password?

You can't recover a password, only change it. The reason for this is that Apple has changed their conditions for passwords. They now need to have one upper case letter, 1 number, and be at least 8 characters. Also you cannot use any password you have previously used in the last year.

Hello James!
I do not have any ABAP Instance, only the JAVA one.
Therefore the ABAP transactions are quite useless.
The problem tables are created by people working on the CAF layer.
They have developed and deployed some homemade applications and this is leftovers from their development in some kind of way.
Anyone with any ideas?
Could it be that (yet) some special Portal Dictionary Role needs to be asigned to the Administrator?
