How to find my iMovie projects and events since updating??????

i updated my macbook pro retina to osx mavericks then my iMovie to the newer version. I now can't find or use my pervious projects or events and I've spent days hrs on some of them. I stored and use most of my projects/events on my external hd. its hooked up. can someone who knows how this works walk me through how to get my imovie projects and events linked from my external hd to this new imovie version that for some reason cant link them like the pervious.
I hate when something work and then it gets updated and it doesnt work the same... frustrating.

okay, do a search for iMovie cache or iMovie thumbnails, and you'll probably find them. Unless you choose reject clips and then move rejected clips to the trash, then check the cache or thumbnails, your clips won't be truly gone. Just deleting them from the windows doesn't quite work. Sorry I can't remember the technical name for 'em, just going by my experience. Also, try deleting your project, and throwing that rascal in the trash, then start again. Usually it's becuz you chose copy the original rather than move it (to be on the safe side), like I did......
anyways, thanks for writin'

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

How do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac from external hard drive

bought a macbook pro retina. backed up 3yr old macbook pro to external hard drive. how do I transfer imovie projects and events to new mac? thanks!

Hi dalbatross,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Did you set up your new computer by creating a Time Machine backup and restoring from it?
If so, the Events and Projects that were on your internal Macintosh HD would copied to your new computer.
Here is another way to copy the events & projects to the new computer from the external drive:
iMovie Help: Work with multiple libraries
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or hard disks
Connect a hard disk that contains the target library to your computer, or copy the target library to your computer.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, or create a new library.
The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Note: To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Cheers,

How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive

How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive?
Thank You

Every working drive, Internal or External, should produce an Icon on your Desktop. If you cannot see those, click on the Desktop (to get Finder) and choose Preferences off the Finder Menu. The general pane has checkboxes for "Show these items on the Desktop:"
Double click the Icon for your External Drive to open it. Open the folders on it until you find the Items you want to copy. Drag them to the Icon of your Internal Drive, or open the folder where you want them to land and drop them in there.
A drive that does not appear on the desktop after you have asked it to may be damaged. But it would be smart to do a Restart to see if it is recognized again at next Startup.

How do I burn iMovie project to DVD , Maverick.

Please someone tell me how to burn a iMovie project on IDVD? i am on Maverick.
Thanks,

If you don't have iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

How to delete an iMovie '09 project?

I have a project that I can't delete. I suspect it's corrupt. I've tried deleting my iMovie preference file and restarting iMovie but that doesn't help. Other projects can be deleted. Any pointers please?!
Thanks,
Fred

I have a project that I can't delete. I suspect it's corrupt. I've tried deleting my iMovie preference file and restarting iMovie but that doesn't help.
iMovie '09 scans the Project folder in a manner similar to the way it scans Event folders upon start up. If you can't delete the named_Project from within iMovie '09, try closing the application, removing the named_Project from the "iMovie Projects" folder, and then restarting the application. If all works correctly, the named_Project will have disappeared from your Project list and you can safely delete the project package using the normal Finder process of "trashing" the file.
(NOTE: If the file to be deleted is the last named_Project in your Project Library list, I would probably create a an new empty project before trying this work flow.)

I have a new flat screen monitor; how do I get iMovie project screen to fit the monitor screen ?

When I want to work on my iMovie project, the work area is to wide for the monitor. I have toggled the monitor between wide 1/2 and original screen 2/2; I still need to physically pull the picture right and left to see the work area not shown.

I don't know how to delete a question .... When I opened iTunes it prompted me to change the resolution on the monitor... that seemed to fix my " fit to screen issues ". If you are reading this Thank you for your interest in my problem.

How do I migrate iMovie project data/pointers from iPhoto to Aperture?

This may be a rather tricky question but here is what I want to do. I have 22GB of Photo's/Video's in iPhoto that I originally used at some point in the past to create some travel home movies. I currently have about 44GB of Photo's/Vid in Aperture. I like Aperture so much that I never use iPhoto anymore.
I've started moving just the albums with pictures in iPhoto over to Aperture. (simple enough) But now I have a lot of space I need to free up.
My question is possibly broken down into 2 parts.
1) How do I move albums with photo's & video to Aperture and index them accordingly without affecting the iMovie projects that link to the original iPhoto data?
I want to keep my iMovie projects the way they are, in editable form, thus eliminating the need for iPhoto, so I can clean up 22GB.
2) In iMovie, on the left window pane, it says "iPhoto Library" & "Aperture Library", with all the old iMovie projects pointing to the iPhoto library. Would moving the rest of my iPhoto library into Aperture automatically purge iMovie editable video projects?
I've backed everything up onto an external hdd, so I would sincerely appreciate any help on this topic. It sounds complicated, but I think it should be fairly straightforward. However, I thought I'd ask the community before actually attempting to do so.
Again, appreciate your help folks. Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions, However I tried to do a simple test on one very short iMovie project and this is what has occurred:
Setup: (iPhoto '11, iMovie '11, Aperture 3.1.1 - All up to date)
to understand what's going on, prior to what I did below this is how my projects are setup, iPhoto has an event & album tagged F1 Montreal Weekend '08 with both photo / video. (my test project for the purposes of trying to get this to work) iMovie has a project I created based on that photo video and it's saved as an iMovie project called 'F1 Montreal' with references to the iPhoto database.
Action:
First, in Aperture, I imported the whole iPhoto event above which brought over all 192 photos and about 36 videos. I then filed it in aperture under my new way of storing albums/videos and created a smart album for video within the Aperture project. Once I verified all the data is there, I then trashed the iPhoto event and album mentioned above to free up some space since it's now in Aperture. Finally, i closed both iPhoto & Aperture and loaded up iMovie.
Results:
The project 'F1 Montreal' shows up as normal, with all its edits and such after clicking edit project. However, there is a little yellow exclamation mark that says this on every slice of video:
"This clips media file is not currently available.
/users/{me}/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2008/F1 Montreal/{moviehere}.mov"
After some research on what this is and how to fix it, it seems there's no menu option to repoint the movie files to a different location, am I missing something or have I moved / merged these files the wrong way? Apparently there is some help in the iMovie help file that shows how to reconnect data, but I can't find it anywhere.
I would really appreciate any additional help on how to do this. I'm sure someone's tried doing this before, yes?
Thanks!

How do i move imovie projects from my internal hard drive to external hard

When I import imovie projects or import imovies, the "save to" drop down box won't drop down to show any options other than the int hard drive (although the ext drive is recognized by finder.
I read that the ext drive (a iTB western digital mybook) is supposed to be in a certain format for this, but I dont know if this is true, or how to even check if its formatted correctly

Your drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled) - not FAT32. You can check by right clicking on your drive icon in the Finder and selecting GET INFO.
You can reformat if necessary by using Disk Utility, but it will erase everything on the external drive.
Let me know if you need help with Disk Utility.
Now, check your version of iMovie. This discussion group is for version 7.1.4, so if you are on Version 8.0.4, different instructions will apply.
In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME. You external drive should be visible in the iMovie Event Library. Now you can drag and drop your Events to the icon for the external drive in the Event Library list. This must be done in iMovie (not the Finder) or you will break your projects.

How to delete a maintenance project in tcode solar_project_admin

Hello!
I would to delete a maintenance project from tcode solar_project_admin that is involved in Change Request management.
The problem is that I get the error "The project is already used in Change Request Management".
My question is:
- how to delete task list and
- deactivate the flag change request management
and to delete the whole project.
Thank you very much for any helpful information!
regards
Thom

Hi,
Kindly ensure that the IMG steps has been fulfilled; also the transport domain, domain links and transport routes need to be configured correctly too.
For solving issue, I would propose you, to complete the maintenance
cycle by switching the project phase to "in completion" and close the
tasklist by closing the IMG and CTS projects, and create a new project,
assign a new maintenance cycle.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
SH
