  • Had to do a recovery from icloud and lost all my projects in imovie

    Got back all my photos and videos but can't find my projects in i-tunes and don't know how to find them on the cloud. can anyone help ?

    ''''' "It looks like the Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder was moved from my "local data" to the "app data" folder ... " '''''
    There is a "Profile" folder in each location, App Data has the actual Profile folder and the Local Settings\App Data location contains the various cache files, along with other files like files for Safe Browsing.

  • I exited iMovie and lost my project.  I am able to find it in Finder, under the Movies tab, but can not get it back to a project in iMovie.  Is there a way to restore it?

    Please help!  I exited iMovie and lost my project that I've been working on for days... I am able to find it in "Finder" under iMovie Projects... but I am unable to open it as a Project in iMovie.  I am using iMovie '11, with no time machine, and I'm on a MacBook Pro.

    I fully sympathise with you, as I recently experienced the same issue (as have many others).
    Projects always appear as normal in Finder in the Home folder Movies/iMovie Projects (or on an external disk at the top level in Movies/iMovie Projects). Nothing looks untoward there.
    However, when iMovie is opened again after an editing session, the most recent project worked on does not appear in the listing of projects in iMovie's Project Library - although it is still listed in the Finder folder . This happens for no apparent reason - no unexpected quits, freezes, or crashes, and nothing else out of the ordinary. iMovie is simply not recognizing the project. It can't even be opened by double-clicking on the project in Finder.
    Here are a number of links to other topics on this issue (there may be others I've missed):

    Sorry to bombard you with all these links, but as you will see there are others here reporting the same problem. No solution has been forthcoming unfortunately.
    Be sure to provide feedback to Apple - in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback, then complete the online form.

  • IMovie crashed. Completely lost an ENTIRE PROJECT

    I just recently updated my Macbook pro to OS X Mavericks Version 10.9 and so I also updated my iMovie to Version 10.0.1. I used it the whole day yesterday and it kept crashing everytime I used the "Ken Burns" crop tool specifically. It will first lag then crash. Or My entire macbook would lag then I'd have to restart it. So when it came down to me about to export it just doing the final touches, I used the tool again then t lagged (OF COURSE) and I had to restart. The difference this time was, when I restarted my macbook, I opened iMovie again and IT LOST MY ENTIRE PROJECT. IT WASN'T THERE. It says that there are two projects but I can only see one which I did earlier. The other is nowhere to be found.
    Does anyone know how I can recover my project? I friggin' worked hard on that and all was loss. I haven't set up my time machine.
    Is there still a way that I can recover my lost project?
    Please help!

    Same thing happened to me, luckily I just started a new project, but Its very annoying, a tool that use to work is now all of a sudden useless . . . or less effective cause you can't make use of the crop function.
    I'm considering rebuilding my machine with old version of OSX.
    Is there a fix for this ?

  • Help with recovering lost project in iMovie '09

    Thank you in advance for your help! I may have accidentally deleted a very important rcproject in my iMovie project folder. I've searched using Finder. I even downloaded Stellar Phoenix in hopes of finding the project. No luck so far. Is there any other tricks to find missing projects in iMovie '09?

    Check to see if it is in the Trash ( at the far right of the dock). If it is, drag it back to the Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
    Better yet, if you are running time machine, go back in time and bring a copy of the rcproject file back.

  • Lost my project in iMovie 10.0

    I have OS 10.9 and iMovie 10.0.
    I updated projects on opening the new iMovie - worked on the project,
    shared to iTunes and Theater and all was good.  When I opened iMovie again all that remains is the sound files- NO video clips.
    The old projects are in the 'iMovie' folder along with an empty 'UpdatedToiMovie10' folder.
    What do I do now and if starting over how do I import the old project to iMovie 10???

    ah! this solved it.

  • I have a finalized project in iMovie '11.  Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo.  Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence.  My final project is now gone!

    I have a finalized project in iMovie '11.  Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo.  Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence.  Now, in my list of projects, my project is there, but finalized as the previous version which is all out of sequence.   My true final project is now gone!  What happend?
    I didn't notice this problem until after the DVD was burned in iDVD.  Then, when I played the DVD in a public setting, I was a bit embarrassed by what played.

    Hi
    My first thoughts are
    • iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
    • in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

  • Problem with opening iMovie 2 projects in iMovie 5I submitted this question

    I submitted this question some time ago and had some interaction with Lennart Thelander but it was never resolved. I didn't explain my question in as much detail as perhaps necessary to understand what happened, so I will try again.
    I was using iMovie 2 for years and created many projects consisting of portions of clips split and moved around, audio, titles, transitions, the works, all dragged into the timeline and saved. Earlier this year I got iMovie 5 HD. When I opened one of my iMovie 2 projects, this message appeared:
    "The project “home again home again” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
    I assumed that this could only make for improvement of the project, so I hit OK. When the project opened, the clips were now all exactly "9:28" in length (i.e. 10 minutes), and all the original breakdown of components (above-mentioned) was lost. It seems that iMovie 5 simply flattened the iMovie 2 project and broke it into 10 minutes segments.
    My main question is whether there is any way to restore the original movie in its previous fom, with all the component parts. If I want to use any of those video clips in another movie, I need the original clips, which iMovie 5 seems to have flattened and essentially destroyed.

    Hi
    There are two levels of problem here
    A. How to Copy Event's and Project's to external hard disks
    - CAN NOT BE DONE - via DeskTop/Finder - must be done within the iMovie application
    - The external hard disk must be - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - do not work for Video
    B. Regarding Audio and photos used in Movie Project's
    - There is NO Copy of them (or video) in Your Project.
    - The Project is no movie at all - it is just a small TEXT document pointing to where material is stored and howto it's supposed to be presented as the Movie You are making.
    IF Audio and Photos are not copies over to the external hard disk - and in Your movie introduced from this new storage - the new Mac can not find and connect to this material. It just don't work.
    To move
    • iTunes
    • GarageBand
    • iPhoto
    Libraries to the external hard disk - so that the New environment will find and connect to is - has never worked for me.
    I maker a dedicated folder and put copies (of audio and photos etc.) into this - and when copied over to external hard disk - re-import them (one at a time) into my movie project. Now iMovie on second Mac will know what and where to look for it/them.

    a  project on iMovie 09 that  Freezes(only the project)  the viwer window blocked in gray ... .. After editing that  took me a year I'm stuck .
    All my finished projects that are in the Library infected with the same symptoms and it happens only after I went into the problematic project.  
    I tried to open a new project and everything works
    ...I also tried throwing Recent Files, in the past It solved the problem ,not this time ...
    the problem is that this project will take me a long, long time to rebuild

    This recently happened to me.  I am a novice, but it seemed like that project got corrupted some how.
    I deleted it.
    Went to time machine and picked it up again when I knew it was working ok.
    I lost a few hours of work, but not the entire project.
    Once I had the project back from time machine, it worked fine (but like I said, I lost a little bit of work).

  • Help! I lost my old projects when I upgraded to Yosemite.

    Help! I lost my old projects, and old videos that were stored on imovie when I upgraded to Yosemite. It asked if I wanted to upgrade my projects, etc., but now they are not showing up even after I clicked that option!!! Please help! Thank you!

    Hello Andrew 97,
    The steps below may help get your events and projects to appear in iMovie.
    Verify that the latest iMovie update is installed.
    Open the Mac App Store.
    Click the Updates tab.
    Click Update All or the Update button that appears next to iMovie.
    After verifying that you have the latest version of iMovie, you can update your projects and events by following these steps.
    In the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Home.
    Open the Movies folder.
    In the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders, you’ll find a file named “UpdatedtoiMovie10.” Move this file to the Trash from both folders.
    Open iMovie.
    Choose File > Update Projects and Events.
    iMovie will update your projects and events. You can repeat these steps for projects and events stored on external drives.

  • How to copy project from iMovie 11 to iMovie 10?

    I get confused on iMovie naming, so let me start with this: I have projects and clips in the old version of iMovie, iMovie 11.  When I click on iMovie > About iMovie, it shows the version as 9.0.9.  I will refer to this as iMovie 9.
    I also have the projects and clips in the newer version of iMovie.  When I click on iMovie > About iMovie, it shows the version as 10.0.3.  I will refer to this as iMovie 10.
    I want to copy a project (the set of video clips. audio clips, titles and transitions) from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10.  Can someone explain how to do this?
    With the recent update of iMovie 10, a number of my projects now appear as "Missing File".  They appear to have been corrupted or lost in the upgrade.  i still have the original projects in iMovie 9, but do not know how to copy them over to iMovie 10.
    I do not want to do a mass replacement of projects in iMovie 9 to iMovie 10, as some of the projects in iMoive 10 have been edited with newer content.  I want transfer selected projects form iMovie 9 to iMovie 10.
    Any help is appreciated ...

    iMovie '11 (as in 2011) is version 9. The new version iMovie is version 10. Yoou see it sometimes refferred to by Apple as iMovie (2013).

    Projects and Events cannot simply be copied from version 9 to 10, the files themselves must be updated. Unfortuantely, Apple only offers an all or nothing method for doing the updating as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6012?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    iMovie 10 will only update the contents of the iMovie Projects an iMovie Events Folders used by iMovie 9. So you could get an external hard drive and use iMovie 9 to move all the Projects and Events that you don't want to update to version 10 to the external.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2289
    Disconnect the external drive and run the updating from iMovie 10.
    However, it may be just as easy to update everything and then delete any Projects or Events you don't want in iMovie version 10.

  • When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
    Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

  • How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

    How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
    To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips.  This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
    The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
    What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

  • How do I find the size of a project in iMovie '11?

    I want to know how much memory a project in iMovie is using on my hard drive.  How do I do that?

    In iMovie 9, look in your iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders.
    In iMovie 10, look in your .imovielibrary package (right click & select "Show package contents")
    The default location of these is in your Users / ,user name> / Movies folder.
