I created an imovie but cannot export it. It collapses

HI, after several days creatinga 24 minutes Imovie I cannot save it/export it. I tried saving it small, medium, large and HD. Now whne I open the project and want to view it full screen it does not work either. I can only see it as a project and all is there but in the small screen to the right.
Help please?

What Mac do you have, and what versions of OS X and iMovie?

I have created an iMovie but cannot share it. I have looked at the help menu and have tried to follow these instructions but cannot get the sharing button to open anything.

Do you have MacKeeper installed? If so, you need to uninstall it. There is a known issue where MacKeeper disables all the sharing functions from the new iMovie.
Uninstall MacKeeper, then re-install iMovie.

Audio is fine in iMovie, but when exported its not?

I'm using iMovie 09.
All the clips I've put in I've detatched the audio from and then deleted. I've put my own audio track over the top of everything. The audio is fine throughout when I'm watching in iMovie, but when I export, in about the last 5 clips I can hear the audio track of the individual clips which was supposed to be deleted on top of my audio track.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?

After a bit of research I've found that this problem seems to be a bug with iMovie 09 when you change the speed of clips to something other then the default options (e.g 108%).
I ended up getting around it by creating a new project, putting just the clip with the speed changed into it and exporting that. Then converted the exported file to a different format, then imported it back into iMovie and put it back into my original piece. This way the speed was at 100%
Seems to have worked
Hopefuly this will save someone else a bit of headache.

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Created new workspace, user created OTN account but cannot access workspace

hi,
i recently created GFW_SYSTEMS_TEAM beehiveonline workspace.
i added 4 external users including myself as an external user using my gmail account: [email protected] so i could verify the process from an external user point of view
i created my OTN account and verified it but cannot access the workspace using this login.
when i check the users in beehiveonline-apex i see that all users are verified.
when i check the users in the workspace, 2x external users are missing but my gmail user is there
when i check the ~BOLADMIN tool i see that my gmail user is missing - only my oracle account is visible; the other 2x external users are also missing...
my oracle and gmail email addresses are similar : neil.pritchard@~ oracle.com, gmail.com
i am accessing from my secondary oracle laptop (OBI); not on vpn
can you tell me if there are any known conflicts with the above setup?
more info:
OS: XP SP2; browser IE8
when accessing teamcollab or workspaces i get 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' during login authentication
best regards
Neil

Neil,
we spotted some provisioning scripts that had failed and are re-running them now - hoefully the extra users will be in the group/workspace soon. The 2 emails for you will not be a clash as they are valid and unique.

My FP-2000 creates a file but cannot write any more in this file. Which can be the cause for it?

I create files on my FP-2000 to save data .
This application functioned very well before ; but now without apparent reason, the file is created without error but the writing is impossible. The cluster of error at the exit of VI "Write File" indicates code 6: "Warning 6 occurred at an unidentified location. Possible reasons: LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error."
Which could be the reason for it?
Could my FP-2000 be damaged (flash memory)?

I have almost the same problem. I'am logging data with my cFP 2020. Writing to the flash of 2020 or to the external compact flash port.
For some reason the cFP returns a Generic file I/O error after quite a while. And it's not that I'm running out of free space.
Anyone got some ideas?

Exported the present. to iMovie, but cannot find that movie/video now....

In anticipation of making a video out of my presentation and sending it via iMovie to Youtube for my friend (the author of the presentation), I followed the instructions using a presentation that I made for myself. I selected the size and then pressed the button and waited during that time when my work was being sent to iMovie. After a while that progress bar disappeared and I figured that the export had finished. Well, but now I cannot find the video that I supposedly made. I went to iMovie (for the first time) and checked for it there, but saw nothing. I checked my Hard Drive and my Desktop: No video.
Where should I be looking for the video? Also, how do I even know that a video was actually made?
This is my first time.
Lorna

Mr. Peebly, I did those things before posting. I will re-do my experiment/test before I attempt to do the 20+ page real presentation.
I have some doubts about the real presentation because I kept getting the warning message that “the bundled movie could not be uploaded.”

Quicktime Frames Play in iMovie but Not Exported File

I recently imported a quicktime movie clip (.mov) into imovie to use in a new project. I added the quicktime frames to the project and when I viewed the project in imovie everything displayed as expected. When I exported the project to itunes and tried to play, only the still images that were included in the project were displayed, none of the quicktime movie frames were include. I figured maybe itunes didn't like the quicktime frames so I exported the project as a quicktime movie and the original quicktime frames still did not display.
I'm new to mac so I really stumped as to what I could be doing wrong. I was simply trying to create a screencast so I used snapz to create the original quicktime movie, could that be it?
Please help!

Yes. There are many posts here on this issue, but it is not always obvious how to search for them. Snapz by default uses the Animation codec, which in iMovie exports as a black screen. The solution is to 1) convert your clip to a supported codec, and 2) for future clips created in SnapzProZ, use a supported codec like h.264, AIC, etc.
For posts by the experts on this topic, do a search on "Animation Codec" in this forum.

IMovie 2013 Cannot export HD video to Theater. Error rendering -60

I just upgraded to Maverick and then upgrade iMovie 11 to latest update 2013. After converting the existing project and preview OK, Share to Theater on local computer in HD format failed after a certaining processing time with Video rendering error -60.
This is on an iMac 2011, with 8GB RAM and my harddrive has 120 GB free. This video was successfully exported before using iMovie'11 before the upgrade to Maverick and new iMovie.
Can someone help me with any way to overcome this?
Thanks

Hi
Not any solution - but just want to add this
Error -60 ==> badMDBErr bad master directory block
Whatever it means ?
will follow this discussion for any possibly explanation and solution.
You all made the obvious trouble shotings ?
list following here:
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
- iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
- problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
- Creating a new User-Account and log into this  - forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
- Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
- a Codec is used that doesn't work
- version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
- preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
- other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
- External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
- USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
- Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
- close iPhoto
- on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
- now select all five options presented
- WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
- free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
- external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
- GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
- Screen must be set to million-colors
- Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
- Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
- Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
- Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
- In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved a problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

Had problems after firefox update. reset went awry. created new profile but cannot retreive old profile data.

I am running firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was a firefox update about a day or 2 ago. Ever since it was done, I was getting "syntax error" 5 times, every time a page was loaded. A little research suggested that an application or plug in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes went by and a message was on the screen saying the old firefox files were being "cleaned up" or something but it seemed to be "stuck" as the progress bar was kind of jerky. Not looking like it usually does. So I clicked on "cancel." After that, I couldn't even get firefox to start. It would say my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox over to the new profile but when I start firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my book marks or passwords are there. It has to be here somewhere but I can't seem to figure it out.

Sounds like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
You can try to delete the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile in case Firefox hasn't done this.
You can check if there is a profile folder with a time stamp number appended and in that case you can set the location of a newly created profile to that folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you need to recover data from an older profile, either still in the default location or as an Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop then see:

Created New Group but cannot Search User

Hi,
I have created new group, added the required menu, I can see the Search User Form, but when I tried to search ALL or certain user there's no user(s) found.
Any settings or permission required forthis group?
Thank you very much.

If you are trying to search for users, you need to make sure your user who is searching has access to the Organization.
Go to manage organizations, select the organization, select the Administrators option from the drop down, and then add the group you want to give writes to. Then all users in that group can perform searches for users within that organization.

Created Custom Transition but cannot hear the audio in it, need Help!

Hi guys, I created a custom Transition for the dvd.
I set the transition but the audio is not in there with it.
How can set my custom transition with the audio?
Thanks,
Zia

By custom transition, do you mean a video you created yourself in FCP?
Or do you mean a transition that DVD SP created? If it is this, then no, there is no audio on transitions. The solution is to create your own video that you then put in a track that then links to your main track.

InDesign CS3, Cannot Export (greyed out) or Print

HELP!! I am having trouble Printing and Exporting in InDesign CS3 only(mac osx), I can Export and Print on all other Adobe programs that are installed on my computer.
I can also still create a PDF through the Adobe PDF presets, but cannot EXPORT or PRINT!!! Under the File Settings, Export is Greyed out, while Print is Black, but nothing happens when clicked.
Any ideas???... My printer driver is working good as I print to 3 printers at the moment and make pdfs of a regular basis and this has never happened before. It just seemed to happen out of the blue when I turned my computer on one morning. I've been working the long way around for now, but now need it fixed desperately!!!

The classic question is what were you doing just before this? Programs usually don't stop working for no reason "out of the blue," so most likley something else has changed on your system.

I created an imovie but cannot export it. It collapses
