I open project, says some clips in trash, can I these back into movie?

hello imovie guru's I need some help with my quandry, when I do open a project I've been working on for quite some time now, it tells me there are some clips in the trash would I like to view, or not? Of course I say yes, because when I say no, there is no film left, but they're the clips I want/need. so is there a way to get them back into the original movie? I'm afraid I've emptied the trash in the iMovie by accident? thinking I could just grab them and move 'em back in manually. can I recover these clips without having to go back and start over with the whole project again. thanks for your support ahead of time. VHS conversions from my 1st. band 30 odd yrs. ago. geeky looking cats, but fun to watch and be able to convert to dvd finally for the other boys/men now in the band. who'll be astonished I've kept them all these years. HELP!!! But these classic old videos are great for critic-ing my progress thru the yrs. which backs up my theory of "less is more", especially when making music. Nothing but the Blues baby, gots to keep the American musical heritage alive!!

1. you can copy and paste between projects. So, in project A, select what you want to reuse and use the copy command (command-c). Go to project B, place the playhead to where you want your clips to be, and paste (command-v).
2. yes. also look at the auditions feature if you are aiming to go back and forth between different versions (where the clip is enabled/disabled).

Hey, so I logged onto my computer after a mandatory restart and my music and playlists were deleted from itunes, but I still have all of the music files that go into itunes if I open them individually. Any way I can get them back into itunes altogether??

really just want my songs back in itunes, trying to find a way to do it all at once instead of clicking on individual song files since i have so many.

copy them and then paste them into music/itunes/itunes media/music/ automatically add to itunes. that should automatically add them back in.

Hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type.

I bought Transformers 3 with the digital copy and I tried to download the digital copy to ITunes. It says it downloaded however I can see it in my movie library. How do I get the movie in my library?

What's the problem? You can already see it in your movie library.

Recovering clips from Trash - can't drag out

I recorded some clips using the built in camera, hadn't saved the project and it shut down on me. I reopened the project, and they were all in the trash. But I can't seem to get them out of the trash... can any one help or should I just empty the trash and start over?

Yeah I am having this issue today too. Not able to copy / paste or drag and drop anything - it's almost as if the file is suddenly protected and not letting me make changes.
I am scouring the HD board here to see if the question's already been answered.
I too am using Imovie HD on the MacBook.
All of my movies are on a 500GB hard drive...

Suddenly my whole project is in 3:4 how can i switch back to 16:9?

I don't know why or how, but since some minutes my whole project is in 4:3 format.
I tried to restore the project to an older version, but the resolution is still 4:3.
I have really no time to redo the whole editing, the movie has to be finished today!
Does someone know how i can switch everything back to 16:9?

Thanks for the answer, i added a screenshot of one file.
They all were correct a few minutes before, so i don't think the problem is by the files.
Every backup has now the same ratio of 4:3 so i think there is a problem with a program setting,
maybe a keyboard combination pressed by accident?

After opening Firefox & getting my info, I go into another application but am unable to open Firefox without Quitting it first. I have the latest update of Firefox. How can I get back into firefox without quitting Firefox?

After opening Firefox, I was always able to in & out of it till I shut down my computer. Now, after opening Firefox, I go to another application then back to Firefox, I have to "Quit" Firefox and reopen. How can eliminate the back & forth of starting & quitting Firefox before I shutdown my computer?

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Successfully imported external swf, can not put it into movie clip

Hello all,
I have started learning AS3 and gradually getting used to, trying to put external swf into movie clip.
Successfully imported target swf and put into stage, when I publish this I see target swf is playing.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
BGLoader.load(BGurl);
BGLoader.y = 0;
BGLoader.x = 0;
addChild(BGLoader);
As next step I want to put this swf into movie clip and get more control, but when I publish bellow only I see is empty background, without any errors.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
BGLoader.load(BGurl);
BGLoader.y = 0;
BGLoader.x = 0;
//addChild(BGLoader);
var animMC = MovieClip(BGLoader.content).getChildAt(0) as MovieClip;
addChild(animMC);
Is anything missing?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You can only access Loader.content after Load completed successfully.
Try this,
import flash.events.Event;
var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
BGLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
BGLoader.load(BGurl);
BGLoader.y = 0;
BGLoader.x = 0;
//addChild(BGLoader);
var animMC:MovieClip;
function completeHandler(event:Event)
animMC = event.currentTarget.content;
addChild(animMC);

Cant open project says it was saved in older version

Tried to open my project that I had just worked on 30 minutes before and it says that it was saved in an older version of imovie hd. I only have one version so im unsure what happend. It will not open if I hit ok, it starts loading and then gets hung up. After a couple minutes, the imovie says it is not responding. Large project due tomorrow, very stressed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't have too many ID files to convert, I would be happy to save them out for you at no expense.
If you would like to do this, you would need to upload to dropbox.com or wikisend.com or the like and send me a Private Message witha download link. I would then upload them to my dropbox folder and send you the download link. If you just want to discuss it, send me a PM.

Itunes wont open. Says some files are required and to reinstall

I have done it twice and still it says the same thing. can someone please help

Hi together.
Now that I've been working on this problem for a couple of days I still have no idea how to solve it.
During the installation process for iTunes 7.5 an error-window pops up with the message "iTunes cannot run because some of its requiered files are missing." I've tried to un- and reinstall all components several times without any success. I also tried installing older versions of iTunes with the same result. Starting QuickTime ends on reporting Error 2093. Also re-installing Windows fresh and virginal did not help anything.
The error messages occured first after installing Win XP Pro's SP2 on my computer. Before that everything worked fine. I would have gone back to SP1, but I need that **** SP2 for Visual Studio.
Maybe there's someone out there who knows how to cope with that.

Own CS5, will not open, message says, "Some of the application components core missing from the Application Directory. Please reinstall the application". What do I do?

What now? Can't get a phone number to contact Adobe???????????????

Hey Cal do u have a windows box or apple? Do you have the compressed files from the original download or a backup or image of your computer? Last question for now-please describe the events that led up to the error message in your original question. Like " my girlfriend was mad at me and while I was cleaning up some photos in CS5 she cut the electric to my desktop!"
there is a chance if its a windows box and its running the OS win7, win 8, win8.1 and the systems restore setting turned on that if you can remember the last time(date) that CS5 worked: restore it(the computer) to that date or before that date. Also is there are some other options if its a mac but i need to know the operating system version and other info as to what other software is on your machine plus similar info like sw such as mackeeper, boot camp. parallels that another adobe community member(Bo LeBeau ) alluded to.
Provide me more info and i can/will help you! maybe even a way to minimize your cost of paying for adobe support if that what you wanna do.
Another vector that may be worth the effort is: find out generally or exactly what components are missing/corrupted from the application core sometimes there can be confusion(zip software posing as malware) or use in the mac and windows world of wrong procedures and use of decompression of compressed( ie winzip vs winrar) files that lead to CS5 working and all of a sudden not working. Last even installers can get flaky over time. So i know you wanna handle this so u can use CS5; but I need some more info. Have a good one! later and greater!

HT1688 need help, i backed up my iphone 5 to my pc and for some reason, some of my old photo albums sync back into my iphone, these are photos that i do not wish to have on my phone, i think i need someone to help me reset my itunes settings,

Hi as I have listed above, I backed up my iphone5 to my pc and for some reason, some of my very old photos from my itunes account sync to my iphone, theres no way for me to delete them i've already try. These are photos that i do not wish to have in my phone, pleas if someone can contact me and help walk me thur this mess i really appreciate it, thank you.

you can change the sync settings in itunes. plug your phone into the computer, select the device in the side bar (it should have an iphone icon next to it), then select the tab for photos to modify the settings for what will and will not be synced.

A friend brought her computer over signed into network and renamed the network so now I can't sign back into my own network. It keeps saying connection timeout..any ideas?

A PAL CTOAEME OVER SIGNED INTO MY COMCAST NETWORK RUN THROUGH ROUTER
NOW NETWORK KEEPS TELLING ME CONNECTION TIMEOUT
CANT SIGN BACK INTO BACK INTO THE NETWORK

If you have the original router details at hand simply reset the router to factory and reset the lan/wifi settings back to the way you like them.
Cheers!

I am having trouble with Imovie I finished my project but when i try to play it it says "source clip is missing" Help!

it says "source clip is missing" Help!

Hi
Did You move or alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - if so - You must not do that - try to put all back
Did You in iMove trash any Event's - then don't - try to get them back by looking in trash-basket on DESKTOP. Move them out and back into iMovie Event's.
This problem might be due to the idea that there is a copy/movie in the Project - it's not !
You are using a NON-Destructive Video Editing program (all behaves in this way) and that means that PROJECT's are only a small text document pointing to What material You want to use, Where it is located e.g. in iMovie Event's - and how it's meant to be played.
If You move or delete any of the raw material - the Project will point to an empty space = Can Not be played.
WILDLY GUESSING - PLEASE no Offence ! (I've been here and done this - so I guess in this way)
Yours Bengt W
