IMovie 08 does not see my JVC GZ-MG505 anymore

2 mnths ago I could import from my JVC GZ-MG505. Today I wanted to import movies from my JVC camera again, but I movie 08 doesnt see it anymore. I opened app. CamExtractor to check if the connection is OK and it was. It read the photo's that are on it, but somehow iMovie doe not see it. What should I do. I already tried trashed the "com.apple.imovie7.plist" but that didn't help either. Can someone help me?

Go to Settings - Privacy - Photos. My guess is that you do not have iMovie switched "On"

IPhone 4 does not see my home WiFi network anymore.

All of a sudden, a few days ago, my wife's iPhone 4 (initially with iOS 6.0.1, now with iOS 6.1) does not see anymore my home WiFi network (created by a Time Capsule), to which it connected automatically.
This has worked flawlessly for years but now the home network (nothing has been changed to its configuration) does not appear in the list of networks seen by the iPhone 4 (mine, iPhone 5 - iOS 6.1 - has no problem at all) and when trying a manual connection I get an error message saying that the network was not found. When I tested, I was a feet away from the Time Capsule.
I have turned the iPhone off and on again twice, to no avail. Just to try something, I created a new WiFi network from my iMac and it was immediately seen by the iPhone 4.
I don't see what could explain these symptoms and what would be the cure.
Help welcome
Thanks
Jacky

No luck. It changed nothing to iPhone behaviour.
Thanks anyway.

IMovie 11 does not recognize my JVC mini cam

Is there any solution to this? My JVC mini cam connects and works on my old iMac that has iMovie 6, but my newer iMac (10.10.1) with iMovie 11 (10.0.6) won't recognize the camera at all. Firewire 800 port to firewire 400 port to cable to JVC GR-D350U. Help says iMovie 11 works with most JVC tape-based cameras.

The interface with DV cameras is very flaky. Too much intervening hardware may not work. However, I would assume iMovie could at least see the camera.
However, if it is an Unknown device, it isn't getting passed to iMovie as a camera. Try bypassing the Hub and see if it at least identifies.
I was testing an old Canon DV camcorder to see if I had a problem. I did, but I think it is related to the cabling. I had a 4-pin to 6-pin cable going into an old, portable hard drive, then to a FW400 to FW800 cable, through my daisy-chain of FW800 drives. I got no video, but the controls worked (play, pause, etc.). I then connected directly to the Mac Mini, bypassing the hard drive daisy-chain, but still no video. I'm pretty sure the no-video is a cable problem, so I ordered a 4-pin to FW800.

IMovie 11 does not see iPhoto videos

Using iLife 09, iMovie showed my iPhoto videos in the lower pane event browser.
Upgraded to iLife 11.
iPhoto spent some time converting my library - but it completed; and seems fine.
iMovie, however, no longer shows the iPhoto videos. The text says no video clips match the current selection - but this never changes no matter what is selected.
My previous iMovie projects all still exist; and seem fine. The videos that were added from the event browser in '09 are also still fine within those projects.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for fixing this.

Neville, just to let you know (as promised), everything went very smoothly with my iLife '11 upgrade. All my iPhoto videos showed up in iMovie '11 within the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library. But, as I mentioned earlier, my preferences are set to copy photos to the iPhoto Library.
After installing iLife '11, my first step was to open iPhoto and allow the database to update. Once I was satisfied that iPhoto was running OK, I then opened iMovie and waited for it to do all the upgrading. That went smoothly also, other than a warning about a Centred Title missing from one of my iPhoto Videos and that the video wouldn't play without it. I haven't bothered to track that down yet - the video wasn't identified in the warning message.
I appreciate this doesn't really help you solve your issue, but it does help to confirm that things seem to work OK when the iPhoto preference is set to the option I've selected (copy photos). Note that my iPhoto Library is located on the internal drive. I have a small number of photos that I keep in separate folders outside of the iPhoto Library - mainly stuff I've done for other people that I don't want cluttering up iPhoto (although I realise that these can be hidden in iPhoto).

IMovie 11 does not see all iPhoto videos

As many guys are having different problems, but none as mine, I'm creating this new topic.
I just bought a MacBook Pro, and it came with iLife 11. I copied my pictures/movies folder to the Pictures system folder and imported all to iPhoto (but first, I unchecked the "copy to iPhoto library" option).
Doing so, iMovie didn't show the movies. After searching a little, I deleted all the Events, checked the "copy to library" back and imported the files again.
Now, I can see the videos there, but not all. Most interesting is that almost all videos are MP4 H.264, and some appears, others don't (they came from the same camera). Some other MPG MPEG-1/2 aren't there too.
I didn't migrated from previous versions of iLife. I installed QuickTime 7. The "copy to iPhoto library" is checked. I don't know what to do!
Thanks.

Imovie 10 does not see my Itunes Labrary

I have updated to Imovie 10, but in the library left part, I have iphoto, but not the Itunes Library.
So impossible to add music to my films.
I have Imovie 9 as well, and it is OK with the Itunes Library. It does see it.
Any idea ?
My Itunes Library is on an external drive, not the Iphoto one. Maybe that's the problem ? But it should work, I'm not the only one to have this config.
Thanks !

Ok Gilles,
I will try to explain:
a. click your "projects mis à jour"->double click a project, it wil open in the under half of your iMovie window, now look not at the top but at the bottem of the left column.
b. select an event, make a new project, ad some footage, again at the left column down left you will see possibilities to ad transitions, titles, but also to access your iTunes library.

IMovie '09 does not see certain pictures in iPhoto

I made some panoramic pictures from other images taken and added them to my iPhoto '09 library. iMovie doesn't seem to see these pictures, even though they are saved and accessible in iPhoto. Everything is updated and I have tried closing and reopening both applications as well as restarting my computer. Does anyone have any ideas, or is there another way to import these pictures?
Thanks!

Since Yosemite my Macbook 11inch mid 2011 does not see second thunderbolt display anymore. My MacBookPro 13inch Early 2013 works fine, but it swaps the screens after an (re)boot

Since Yosemite my Macbook 11inch mid 2011 (supports Thunderbolt) does not see the second thunderbolt display anymore.
My MacBookPro 13inch Early 2013 works fine, but it swaps the screens after an (re)boot.
Does anyone else experience these problems and/or have solutions

Hello ROBLAHAY,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your MacBook Air. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you are describing. If you are talking about using two external Thunderbolt displays (in addition to the internal display) with your Mid 2011 MacBook Air 11-inch, you may want to be aware that only a single external Thunderbolt display is supported on that model, as noted in the following article:
3. How many Apple Thunderbolt Displays can I use with my Mac in OS X?
The table below indicates how many Thunderbolt displays can be connected to Thunderbolt-capable Mac computers in OS X.
Computer
Maximum connected displays
Thunderbolt-capable Macs with Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics can support one connected Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch).
MacBook Air (Mid 2011)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) and (13-inch, Late 2011)1
Mac mini (Mid 2011), 2.3 GHz
Mac mini with Lion Server (Mid 2011)
One Thunderbolt display

After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see Sony camcorder in iMovie anymore. It still works on MacBook, so nothing wrong with camera or connections.

After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see my Sony camcorder anymore. I tried the new iMovie as well as the old version 9.0.9, which is still in Applications. I checked the camcorder and connections in iMovie on my MacBook (not upgraded) and that still functions properly, so the problem does not seem to be in iMovie, old or new, or in camcorder and connection.
Anybody with the same problem or a solution?
Thanks mbkom

IMovie '11 on Mountain Lion does not see Canon Vixia HG20, Lion does

I have 2 Canon Vixia HG20s and an HG21 that I had previously used with iMovie. When I plug the cameras into any of my Mountain Lion systems, iMovie does not see the camera to import from. On my MacBook it only sees the EyeSight camera.
I know I had imported from these cameras when I was still running Lion. In fact, I still have one Mini running Lion Server. I installed iMovie onto it and plugged in one the HG20s. It immediately recognized it and offered to import the videos. I unplugged it and immediately moved it to the MacBook with Mountain Lion, and it's not recognized.
The one thing I'm not sure I have tried is on another Mini that was upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I will be trying that tonight.
What can be done to allow me to import my videos, something I USED TO be able to do?
Thanks!

Wow. I looked at some of your other posts and found a few hints that I tried. I deleted all the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist and .cache files/folders in various locations and tried again. Now iMovie sees my camera!
Hope you figure out your issue!

I am trying to import i frame from an SD90 video camera to iMovie, but it does not see the camera. Footage goes to i photo Why?

I am trying to import video ( i frame) from an sd90 ( listed for mac) but i movie does not see the camera. It imports into i photo. Is this normal ?

If you quit iPhoto and iMovie (with the camera still attached) then put the camera into VCR playback mode. Then launch iMovie and see if it can see the camera. If not, get out the power adapter for the camera and plug it into the wall, plug the camera into the power adapter. Reboot your Mac and wait for iPhoto to launch again automatically. Don't let it import the clips, just say No, quit the program. Then put the camrea int VCR/Playback mode, launch iMovie and check again to see if it can see the camera. Once iMovie sees it the first time it should be quicker to recognize it in future. But iPhoto does try to race in there and grab everything first.
To turn this off go to iPhoto Menu in iPhoto > Preferences > Look for Connecting camera opens: (click on the pulldown menu and choose No Application) This effectively turns off iPhoto when you first attach the camera. And it opens the way to iMovie recognizing it quicker.

IMovie does not see iPhoto Libraries

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and imported my photos and videos into iPhoto. Now iMovie does not see them. If I import them to iPhoto on my iPad I see them in iMovie on the iPad. I expect the same from the MacBook Pro. What is up? Am I doing something Wrong?

IMovie 11 does not recognise my camcorder

Hello
I have a Panasonic camcorder. When cabeling it up to my Mac, OS X, iMovie does not "see" the camera; it only sees the iSight application. How do I fix that?

Without knowing the camcorder model, it will be difficult to give accurate instructions beyond the baiscs.
Make sure the camcorder is plugged into AC Power and in the correct mode.
If the case you have JVC MOD files, try looking into the linked page.

IMac does not 'see' Sony DCR PC5E when connected

It depends on what Mac you have and what version of iMovie. You may need to use Firewire.
