I movie wont open anything

Hello,
I was working on a project the other night and everything was working really well. Today I went to open it to edot and everytime I click on the file it just "flashes (?) as if to open, but nothing else happens. I can't even get Imovie to open when I plug my DVR in? Any advice?

oh ok, so would i have to convert the divx file into something else first? what formatt does itune do? im guessing quicktime? anybody know any good softwares that can convert different video formatts to quicktime (if thats what formatt itunes does)?
thanks

Adobe does not market old version of their products the old downloads are available mostly for old licences users so they can download their licenced products should they need to. So if you do not have a licence for Lightroom 3.6 after your 30 days trial install expires you can not use it or purchase a licence.
It would be a good Idea for you to get a new computer with Windows 7 or 8 on it. I prefer Windows 7. If you are still running XP though its a good OS and runs on old Hardware that Windows 7 and 8 can not run on. Its best to turn those old tired machines into network print servers and have nothing of value on them. For Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and security holes that are still in XP will not being plugged. You just inviting the waiting intruders in they will show up it you connect to the web and uses it.
If you are using old hardware for a modest price you can get a new machine that is more powerful then the one you using. With wireless devices it nice to have a network printer your current machine will be of no value to anyone. If you hate the idea on scrapping a working machine a print server may be the was to go IMO.
If you purchased a Photographer CC subscription you can install the subscription Photoshop CS6 version 13.1.2 that should run on XP with some newer PS features unavailable like 3D any feature the requires a GPU. CS6 does not support any GPU on Windows XP. You can do all that LR can do to images and more with Photoshop. I do not even download Lightroon. I don't need its library system or desire a second UI over the Adobe RAW conversion Engine. This save disk space and I don't have to maintain and additional Adobe product and a simpler work-flow.
Besides CS6 you can install LR 4.4 I do not use LR so I have no ides if it will run on XP. XP not listed in LR 4.4 requirement.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 does not support Windows XP. This decision did not come lightly and was based on a number of factors. With each version of Lightroom, our goal is always to provide a consistently excellent customer experience. Developing and testing across Operating System versions and platforms to ensure that we’re achieving this goal is a significant effort that takes time and resources. XP is substantially different from Windows Vista and Windows 7, and requires an independent testing matrix, which increases the complexity of our development efforts. Every cycle we need to make difficult resource tradeoff decisions and operating system support competes heavily with new features and performance enhancements planned for each version. The decision this cycle was to end XP support for Lightroom going forward.

Movie wont open

I had been working on a movie in imovie and I stopped in June. Went I went to work on it today, it would not open. The movie is there in the movie file, but when I click on it imovie opens but with nothing. I have tried opening other movies and they work. How do I open this one?
Thank You

Hi neddy - welcome to the forum!
Control+Click on the project icon - it's really a package. Then click on Show Package Contents.
Open the Media folder - is anything there? All of your movie's clips should be in there.
You could also open the .mov file in the Cache folder and see if it plays.
Tell us what you find.

Photoshop CS1 wont open anything - big issues!

Hi
Photoshop has started to do an odd thing ...and I am in crisis as I am a photographer and kind of need it!
It will not open ANY image file, of any size, or any time via any opening method - double clicking on the file, dragging onto the dock icon, using Finder and File Menu>Open or going into P/Shop and using File Menu>Open.
Photoshop opens fine and does all the usual things when opening an image file - it even gives me the dialogue box when the Colour Settings do not match the work space.
Then, every time it gives me a message saying: "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
It give the same message if I try to create a new file within P/Shop.
Thus far I have:
- Repaired disk permissions
- Binned P/Shop prefs
- Uninstalled and re-installed the whole of Creative Suite 1 (!!!)
- Tried a new user account and the problem was the same.
- I read about needing to put "Adobe Unit Types" File into a folder called "ScriptingAdditions" at HD/Library/ScriptingAdditions. (This was already there, but I tried an old version from an archived OS 10.4.4, and then downloaded a new version of it from the web and tried that).
- Put this file in every library I could find on the Mac (that was out of desperation!).
- Restarted about a billion times.
- Checked Adobe.com for updates and help.
- Added any available updates for CS1
-Trawled the web for hours looking for a solution.
- Disconnected from the internet while opening a file (As Adobe suggested - like that it gonna do anything?!?!?)
- run /sbin/fsck -uy at the command prompt after starting up in single user mode.
- Torn my hair out
- Sworn a lot.
- Wondered why the **** I spent sooooo much money on Creative Suite!
-Resisted temptation to put foot through monitor
Frankly, I think I have done pretty much everything possible and am clean out of ideas - any thoughts anyone?
My info - OS 10.4.7, Photoshop CS1 (Part of Creative Suite CS1).
This has only happened since I installed OS update to 10.4.7
Please help!
Thanks
Rob

I personally have found that sometimes it's harder to isolate things once I have been mucking about so much (and being so frustrated.) I have found that buying a firewire external drive and re-installing the OS fresh and creating one account and only installing that one app almost always works.
I can then limp along and migrate settings or file an honest bug report that states so simply that the only things there are Mac and Application X that it's easy to find a solution or get back to work.
Sorry it's probably not what you wanted to hear, but sometimes the sure bet is worth the added time and hardware. And you will then have a spare drive to use a tool like carbon copy cloner to make bootable backups every so often so when the inevitable strikes, you can keep working...

If I understand what you are saying ... the movie is trying to finish downloading???? Tap on it to try to get it to resume downloading.
Make sure that you do not have another stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to finish the download

IPhoto movie wont open

I recently synced my Sony Cyber-Shot digital camera to my iPhoto library. The 231 photos included one video that I wanted to send to iMovie to edit. When I try exporting the movie I leave the original format and iMovie can't recognize it when I try to import it. The end of the file name says MPG I don't know if that if the wrong format for iMovie. If so how do I change it to a mp4 file? I have tried using Handbrake but it doesn't recognize the file as a valid source.

MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert your MPEG-1 files to DV Stream for use in iMovie.

Iphoto movie wont open with quicktime

Movies in Iphoto used to play with quicktime but have stopped playing

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
2 - try playing the videos again in iPhoto.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Crashed totally wont open anything up on firefox and now using explorer how do i get it to work

I have unistalled and reinstalled firefox and it still wont work, it say problem loading page and unable to connect, yet it has nothing to do with my network as i can use the internet via other means

Are you using the 'web address', or the separately installed binary?
If you are using the binary, you might try the web-based version @ (all 1 line):
https://deskshop.discovercard.com/thincard/main_thinclient.html
If that is what you are using, I'd call Discover's web support number (just call 1-800-DISCOVER and let them route you to the correct location)...
Hope it works, since, as you might guess, I use it too! ;-)

I Movie wont open

I need to edit some videos, and for some reason iMovie says "Quartz Extreme required." and below "iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme." and the only option is quit..... I t had been working fine before, but now suddenly it has stopped, i have had another issue with this computer with the DVD drive not accepting any discs (which has not been solved). I don't remember if the iMovie was updated recently because i am not the only user of this computer.
Thanks in advance
Tanmay
And pleaase look below if it has any relevance :P

As a first step, I would recommend that you restart your computer. Most times, that will fix it.

Imovie wont open after mavricks update

I movie wont open after updating to mavricks. help?

Many people have been having the same problems this week because of he update. Someone on the forum mentioned uninstalling "Bonjour". +Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network - Wikipedia.+ If you have never needed it uninstall it. You could also try typing "MSCONFIG" in the Run selection under the accessories folder and un-checking it under the "Services" tab.
I personally have had the same problems. What i did was i un-checked it on the MSCONFIG menu first and then uninstalled Bonjour.
Hope all this helps

IMAC and MacBook connected via ethernet. Can see "Bob's" public folder on "Betty" but not allowed to move or open files. Want to Bob-- Betty (my new computer) permanently. Adjusted "permissions" everywhere I think

Old computer HDD named Bob, new one named Betty. Trying to transfer crucial files via ethernet. Have connection, can see Bob's public folder on Betty. When try to move or open anything there, tells me I do not have permission to either view or read respectively. I changed permission on the item to read/write for Betty. Made Betty an admin on Bob etc. What can I do?
Thank you!

Do have file sharing and remote login checked
When on Betty's computer, Sign into Bob's computer with Bob's username & Bob's Password, instead of Betty's.
BINGO!!!! Problem solved. Many thanks!!!

Safari wont load anything but Firefox works...

Hey, I recently installed loads of updates that had been back logged for a while. Ive just finished, and ive tried to use Safari but it wont open anything. Any address I type in the loading bar gets stuck and wont open. I am connected to the internet, and that is working. Firefox is working and the iTunes store, so I think somethings wrong with Safari? I have no clue what to do, so any help would be massively appreciated, Thanks, Andy

So far I/ve repaired the drive, permissions, deleted all possibly problematic apps... installed the combo update ... reset safari ... reinstalled safari ... run onyx ... and tried to install an earlier version of Safari .. but my computer won't take it ..
At least your machine received some welcomed maintenance.
Seriously though (terrible humor aside) PicLens is a great add on. Its most recent version is Leopard/Safari compatible, adding a very nice feature when searching images in Google or other cooperating services.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

Movie made in imovie wont open in idvd?!

so i made a little intro movie for a slideshow with the edit interface in imovie where i just added some text to a black background. i saved it and when i try and add it to idvd it wont open. im not really sure what is going on. the file is a .timovieproject so i know that it should open in idvd to "add" a movie. is there some way where i can just save it as a quicktime? thanks!

tell us how you made this black footage. was it entirely in iMovie 6? Try adding some actual video footage to the start and see if this helps, then select the black clip only ....
and share the selected clip only to iDvd. Like this:
