I moved an event to trash in iMovie but it didn't appear in the trash area on the desktop. I know there's another trash area. Where would that be?

I moved an event to the trash using iMovie 10.0.2. It didn't appear in the trash area on the desktop. I know there's another trash area. Where would that be?

An event will only be deleted if none of its clips are in use in other projects (in other events).
See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov1d890f00b  for details.
I know of only the one trash folder

  • I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

    I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

    I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
    Here is the work around:
    Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

  • Hello, I have a "clé usb" with a imovie film in. I want to read it with my mac and with iMovie but it didn't work! Can you help me please

    hello, I have a "clé usb" with a imovie film in. I want to read it with my mac and with iMovie but it didn't work! Can you help me please

    Jeanne, you are going to have to give us some additional information: what kind of files are they, on what computer, using what application, were they made, how was the USB key formatted in the first place?
    Do the files not copy to your desktop?

  • Moved message from trash to inbox, but it does not appear in box ?

    Hello,
    I use gmail account as my default mail account. Accidently, I deleted one my message. To retrieve it, I clicked and open the message in the trash box.Tthere is a "folder" icon on the bottom at second order, I clicked it and I choose inbox folder it seemed as moving inbox but that message does not appear there.

    Hey Moonchild,
    I've just had the exact same problem today.  Lost two emails because of it.  Can't find them on my phone or on Gmail from my laptop.  I accidently moved them to the bin..  Don't even know how I done it!
    But I went into the Bin folder, opened the email, went to the folder icon at the bottom of my iPhone 4S, which says "Move this message to a new mailbox", selected Inbox, it looked like it moved.  When I went to the Inbox, it wasn't there.  I searched for it and its gone.  I tried another and it done the the exact same thing.
    I tried this from Gmail on my laptop and it works fine, you can move them from the bin back to the Inbox without any problem.

  • HT1338 Being prompted to update iPhoto and iMovie, but getting message "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."  My email has not changed.  Any ideas?  -gb

    I am being prompted to update iPhoto and iMovie, but getting the message: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."  These came already loaded on my laptop, and my email has not changed.  Any ideas or work-arounds?

    Has your Apple ID changed, that's the one that matters.
    You need to sign in under the account that purchased these apps (did you buy this Mac new)

  • I bought my mac with iMovie in it when it comes time to upgrade it, it doesn't let me upgrade and says to sign into the account I bought it with, but it already came included when I bought it from the apple store. How can I upgrade it?

    Like I said when I bought my mac in the apples store, iMovie was already included. When it comes time to upgrade it, it won't let me and it says to sign into the account I used to purchase it. But I didn't purchase it, it came along with the computer. How do I get it to upgrade?

    Try opening the Mac App Store and go to the Purchases tab. See if you see the preinstalled iMovie App there. You may have to accept it into your Apple ID if you have not done so already. Then it should upgrade.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and have and Exchange email account. The account says that I have one unread trash e-mail but I don't and I don't know what to do.

    I have an Exchange e-mail account and my iphone keeps sayings that I have one unread message in the trash bin. But I don't because it keeps coming up empty. I also know that I don't beacuse of my mac. What do I do?

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

  • After renaming and moving to my desktop an iMovie project, i can not open it. I moved it back to iMovie but still it is not working. I noticed that there is not an Event Folder for the project. Can someone help me?

    I renamed an iMovie project, then I moved it out of iMovie to my desktop. It did not work from there. Finally I managed to move it back to iMovie, but still does not work. I can't edit it, it does not even appear as an option. I found out that the Event Folder for this Project is gone. Is this the problem? Is there a way I can get it back? Can somenone help me?? Obviously after so many mistakes you can tell I am new on this. Any help will be appreciated it!!!!!

    OK Let's take a step back.
    If you imported video clips from a camcorder there would be an Events folder in the Movies/iMovie Events/ folder.
    You have the option as you import from a camcorder to send your Event to an external drive instead. In this case, it would be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the external drive.
    If your project has no video clips, but only photos, there may be no events folder, only links to iPhoto.
    Similarly, if your camera imported your video clips to iPhoto, and you used the iPhoto event in iMovie, then your clips are in iPhoto, and there is no separate iMovie event.

  • Trouble moving events or projects in iMovie 11 to ext. hard drive

    I'm trying to move iMovie 11 events (or projects) to my external hard drive but keep getting this message:  This file could not be copied:  /Users/hopkinssm/Movies/iMovie Events.localized/Conducting_2_14/iMovie Thumbnails/clip-2013-02-14 09;37;20  (File not found).
    I have done this in the past with no problem.  I've looked at the instructions again to make sure I was doing it right.  I know the files are on my hard drive because iMovie is able to access them and will allow me to view, edit, etc.
    Any ideas?

    More I know
    THE External Hard Disk ! Must be.
    • Mac OS Extended formatted ! (mine are journaled)
    UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac Exchange - Will do for most OTHER things - BUT NOT FOR VIDEO what ever program used - iMovie, FinalCut, iDVD etc . It just doesn't work and especially so when files get's more than 2-4Gbs big and this can happen any-time.
    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
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. 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
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • 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 do not work
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
    • 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
    • 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.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Unable to trash unwanted iMovie clips (events)

    I have great difficulty in getting rid of unwanted video clips (events) in iMovie. I can easily mark the undesired frames as "rejected", but cannot get the software to remove the rejected clips to Trash. In fact, the file command to Remove Rejected clips to Trash is greyed out and does not function.
    How can I permanently delete these unwanted video clips from my Events library (to free up disk space).

    Also, you must select the "View" to "show rejected clips only" from the menu box on the bottom. This gives you one more chance to review them before deleting. There should be a button on this view to send the rejected clips to trash.

  • I moved an event in imovie to an external hard drive but I don't see it on the external hard drive now

    I followed the directions on Apple's website on how to move iMovie footage from the internal hard drive to an external hard drive.  I moved 3 events over and I don't see those events in the external hard drive.  Can anyone help?

    Hi
    Then it's not my advice.
    There are two very important things about this.
    • NEVER - move or alter any folder named iMovie Events or iMovie Projects on DeskTop/Finder - at all !
    All changes must take place inside the iMovie Application - else connections break ! and iMovie can't find them.
    Move Events and Projects back and hope that they will be found.
    • The external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most BUT NOT FOR VIDEO - not for iMovie nor FinalCut.

  • How do i find my original imovie event files. i have a lot of thumbnails, cache .mov, .mov. my events have many duplicates and i want to make space so how do i know which one is the original so i can transfer them to a usb and trash the rest? please help!

    i need to delete the extra files but i want to know how to find my original ones.... i am going crazy i dont know why i have sooo many duplicates of my events....

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • What happened to the trash in iMovie?

    after moving events to trash, the trash can icon or option is not there and the trash can in iPhoto only contains what I deleted in iPhoto and Not iMovie.

    Ive looked through countless forums on this and have NO IDEA how nobody's found it yet.  Apple claims that it no longer exists, and that everything goes directly to the trash in Finder, but thats not the case because I just recently found it on my own.  Go to Finder>Go>Home>Movies then right click "iMovie Library" then click "Show Package Contents."  Miraculously, there will be a "trash" folder with god knows how many hundreds/thousands of deleted clips.  Hope this helps.

  • 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!
