How to recover deleted iMovie project?

I have been working on an iMovie project for hours now (the movie is a little over 5 minutes and was created yesterday with a name), and last night I finished the movie and shut down the computer. The finished iMovie file was on the iMovie application, and had been fine when I had to quit out and go back into the iMovie application several times. There were also video and music files for the video and even files in the trash bin when I shut down last night. This morning I went to open iMovie back up and it was as if the movie ever existed (there was even an intro page to the iMovie application that popped up as if I had opened iMovie for the first time). All the music, video, and trash files were gone as well. HOW DO I RECOVER THE IMOVIE??? Thanks.

try it with the time machine...also try in the trash

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 delete a project in premiere elements

how do I delete a project in premiere elements

Welcome to the forum.
This will depend on how you set up the Project, when you began.
I create a unique folder/sub-folder, for each Project, and everything is in that hierarchy, the Scratch Disks, Copies of all Assets, etc.. When done, I just Delete the Project's folder, and all sub-folders go with it.
One consideration is if there is a chance that you will ever need to revisit that Project, you might use the Project Archiver first, to get a copy of the entire Project onto, say an external HDD - just in case.
How did you set up the Project's folders/sub-folders?
This ARTICLE will give you one workflow.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012

Hi Everyone,
how to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012 and also I had one system which is by accidentally deleted, I know the system name, but I cannot able to add the system manually to Device Collections, is
there any solution for this...
I had discovered many systems using discovery, I recovered some systems but not all the systems..
Please suggest...
saikumar CH

just a follow up on Torstens reply. You will see the discovery records show up in the console without having the client installed. That will be corrected when clients perform a hardware inventory re-sync. It all happens automatically, no panic and don't
reinstall the clients.

How to recover deleted pictures in imessage on ipad

how to recover deleted photos in message on ipad?

Were the pictures on the microSD memory card? Was that the only place? Not sync'd to cloud service? Not sync'd or copied to a computer using Link?
If the files were on the card and only on the card, you can read the card with computer and run a utility (search) to find and recover deleted files. If the spaces where the pictures files hasn't been overwritten yet, then you should be able to undelete the file. You may not be able to undelete all files, depending. Whatever you cannot undelete is lost.
If you sync'd or copied the files somewhere, you can sync them or copying them back to the device, depending. Link does not delete files from the computer when they are deleted from the device, so if you were using Link to sync the pictures then you still have them on the computer. The same may or may not be the case if you are sync'ing using another method.

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 delete imovie videos and still have them on my time capsule

how can i delete imovie videos and still have them on my timecapsule

You can copy them to the TC.. do not expect Time Machine to keep something that you delete though..
And please recognise you are breaking the idea of Time Capsule.. it is primarily a backup target for TIme Machine.. once you move files to the TC and delete them on the computer.. the only copy of the file is now on the TC.. which has no automated backup.. no easy means of recovery if the drive fails. no parts even.. Apple do not fix.. they give you a replacement and chuck your old one.
You are hoping that the TC will preserve your files.. when it is well known to be a less than reliable device.
Think hard if this is really where you want to go.

How to recover deleted content file in webcenter content 11g

How to recover deleted folder and contents containing (.doc,.pdf etc), FrameworkFolders component used.

CORRECTION, I was incorrect on a couple of items earlier, sorry:
As you are using Framework Folders, there is no Trash bin. This was removed as it was one reason for Folders_g not being scalable.
When you delete a folder or content via the Framework Folders interface, the content is set to Expired status but not deleted. The folder itself IS deleted so that information is lost.
So you can recover the contents by searching for anything which has an Expired status, but you need to do this in Repository Manager as far as I know because Expired content will not be returned in the usual search query (only Released content can be found, by design). Of course, if you have deleted more than one folder, you will not be able to distinguish the contents as belonging to one folder or another.
On the other hand if you delete the content from the Content Info page, then the content is genuinely deleted from the repository. You'd have to recover that from backup.
Hope this helps! And sorry for the earlier inaccuracy.
Frank.

How to recover deleted the pictures

How to recover deleted the pictures. When you change the software iOS6 iOS7 I deleted all the pictures myself and can not leave them back in iTunes

If you're still in the book mode you can try using the Undo command: Command+Z. If you're left the book mode I'm not sure you can use it.
If you have TM copy of the library just before you deleted the photos from the pages bring that entire library back. It will have the book in it. To do so go to you Pictures folder and then enter Time Machine. Go back to the time just before the deletion took place, select the library and restore.

How to recover deleted data in os/400

Hi ,
Can anybody let me know how to recover deleted data from a table in os/400 .
Thanks in advance .
Thanks & Regards
Dhaval Raje

Hi Dhaval,
unfortunately this highly depends on the thing you did :-((
In general SAP says (with good reason!): You recover nothing or the COMPLETE DB - otherwise it could be inconsistent. In your cae, that means, you go back to the error case.
For experts RSTOBJ of this table would be of help. But, then you need to know what happened in detail and you need to be familiar with the dependent files like indexes & views.
So, if this is a test system, I would go back to an olde backup, if this is productive, I would ask a good DB2 for iSeries basis consultant. That is a problem, that can be solved.
