IMovie '08 (7.1.4) How to recover markers in event?

After duplicating a project in the project library and splitting the event it originated from, all the (orange) markers in the event had disappeared. Except for the first fragment ~deriving from the split-off event~, every single one of the 146 fragments in the project now bears a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, saying: "The media-files of this fragment are momentarily unavailable", actually meaning that the project cannot even be shown, let alone be processed.
How can I restore the previous state and avoid the loss of about 50 hours of work?

You might consider upgrading to iMovie 11. It would cost about $15.
For iMovie 08, I would try to import the movies into iPhoto. Then you can access them in iMovie through the iPhoto Event.

  • I need help asap. Does anyone know how to recover iMovie project that just disappeared?

    I went to hit play on my iMovie project, which is finished and had been playing great. this time I hit play and the screen goes black and now it appears the project is gone. The title is still under the folders section, but no clips in there. I've looked in the Trash folder on the desktop and it's not in there. I can't locate it anywhere. I spent over 100 hours on this and am devastated, as it's for work. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to recover this project? I did save as a .mov file on my external HD, which I have re-imported - however...now it's a different looking project. I can't edit it, nor can I share it in any format under the iMovie>Share tab. Help -- someone has to have some ideas...

    Do you have a Time Machine backup running on your system?  Backup to an earlier point in time.

  • My external hard drive will not show up in iMovie 10.0.4.  How do I copy my movies into it?

    My Mac OSX 10.9.4 has both iMovie 10 and iMovie 9. I've started uploading all of my videos from my camera to iMovie 10 and have not worried about my external hard drive. Now it's been a couple months of putting those videos onto iMovie 10 and I just connected my external hard drive and it doesn't show up in sidebar anywhere.  Is this new to iMovie 10? How can I copy my events and projects to my external hard drive from imovie 10?
    If iMovie 10 is the issue, I will gladly begin using iMovie 9 again, but will need those events to get into iMovie 9.  Is there anyway to move movies in iMovie 10 to iMovie 9.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi bwright22,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to copy videos to and from an external hard disk in iMovie. Take a look at the article linked below, I believe it has the information that you're looking for.
    iMovie (2013): Work with multiple libraries

    Show or hide the Libraries list
    You select libraries and events in the Libraries list.
    To show the Libraries list: Click the Show button  on the left side of the toolbar.
    To hide the Libraries list: Click the Hide button  on the left side of the toolbar.

    Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.
    You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, or create a new library.
    The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
    In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
    In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.
    Note:   To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
    Do one of the following:
    To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
    To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to recover Deleted file from HARD DISK

    By mistake my entire AVCHD file of 90 Mts  duration was deleted from my Hard Disk, this  I realised after a week., in the meantime I have not added or deleted any file from this hard Disk. I had given my this hard disk to my service engineer to recover the video., he has tried and recover some 40 mb file., but I cant open this recovered video file in Premiere or any other video convertor programme., also I cant get any information about Video.
    Can anybody in the forum help me and suggest how to recover my deleted Video from the Hard disk

    Hi, hard disk data loss is actually a hard task for many users 'cause most of them think this kind of problems is a complicated situation. Here are some tips you need to know after data loss happened.
    1. If you meet the file loss situation, keep calm and stop using your computer to do any read or write operation until you find the way to recover the lost files because any wrong operation.
    2. If you've lost a file, time is of the essence. As new files saved to Mac hard drive or storage devices, the original files gets overwritten. So do not use the drive or disk which your deleted files are stored before at all, until you have completed the scanning and recovery process.
    3. The system crashed or the files loss situation happens occasionally, so remember build a backup for the files periodically is strongly needed.
    4. If you meet the file loss situation again, stop using the Mac or storage device right now, use another computer to process the files recovery.
    5. Remember this, no matter at the normal time or after files recovery, build a backup for the files periodically is the best method to protect your files from data loss situation.

  • How to recover lost folders and files - Pls help, help...

    Some days ago I lost all of my 15 GB folders and files that stored in my Macbook Pro hard drive called DATA.  I brought my Macbook pro to an experienced computer tecnicians who providing data recovery services. To his and my suprise, after checking, scanning it a few hours, he said their is no way to recover because he did not find any trails at all.  The computer still seems working properly - I have no problem with any applications.  There are few other folders in the DATA hard disk containing pictures, computer programs still remain.  These lost folders and files contain mainly documents (word, excel, power point, pdf etc) which I accumulated in my many years working  !!!!.  I did not make a back up since last September partly because I think Mac is very safe.
    The computer with me all the time on that day and only my son used Power Point to make a simple presentation on that evening - he can not save it on the folders the he normally use - All the folders and files are gone.
    I will appreciate it very much if any of you can tell me what would be the possible causes and more importanly how to recover the lost folders and files.  They are very very valuable to me.
    Many thanks for your kind attention

    First, did the data actually get deleted, or is it still there somewhere?  Try searching the drive for some of the documents, perhaps it's all just in another folder on that drive.
    If it's truly gone, it's impossible for us to say what might have happened to make it unrecoverable.  Perhaps someone using the computer used Secure Empty Trash, or securely erased empty space on the hard drive.  Perhaps it was overwritten by other stuff before you noticed.  It's possible the hard drive is starting to fail, though this seems like an awfully specific problem for that to be the issue.
    Or perhaps the tech you took the computer to didn't know what he was doing.  Why not try recovering what you can on your own?  See Recovering deleted files.
    You should be aware that no computer is safe.  All computers rely on hardware that may fail and software that can have bugs.  You absolutely MUST maintain a good set of frequently-updated backups...  no fewer than two full backups of anything you don't want to lose.

  • IMovie 10 - how do I move an event from one library to another?

    Greetings,
    I have updated all of my projects and events from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10.0.1. They now all sit in different libraries on different external HDDs.
    How do I move an event from one library to another library in iMovie 10? How do I copy an event from one library to another library in iMovie 10?
    Thanks,
    John

    Simply drag and drop from one library to another.  See:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7

  • How to recover photos after restoring iPod touch?

    Yesterday, there was an update for the iOS 6, I believe. When I pressed the update button, a message popped up saying that there was a problem with my iPod touch 4G and that I need to restore it. I had absolutely no idea why that message would pop up in the first place because my iPod was working just fine. But I couldn't update my iPod to the newest version if I didn't do what iTunes says... so I was about to restore my iPod, but then I was worried that all of my photos would disappear. So I decided to update my iOS later so that I could transfer all my files on to my computer. I then unplugged my iPod, and tried to turn it on but the home screen wouldn't pop - no matter what I did, all the screen showed was an itunes icon on top with a USB plug-in cord at the bottom. So I had no choice but to restore my iPod. The thing is, once I restored my iPod and all, my photos were all gone and I did not use iCloud as a back-up since a few months ago. All of my recent photos are now gone and I have no idea how to recover them. I've tried programs that aim to recover deleted photos, but they didn't work.
    Is there a way to recover photos after restoring the iPod Touch?

    Hello,
    It is very important to backup your device to the computer before updating or restoring.
    You can restore your device to a previous backup, all the photos that were there when you made the backup should return with it, but I'm afraid that any photos taken or saved after the last backup are unrecoverable.
    I hope this helps.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.
