IMovie 09 Full Screen mode plays the wrong project.

I just brought home a new MacBook Pro 15" 2.8 GHz with 4 GB & 500 GB HD, I have existing iMovie 09 projects on an external hard drive. When I click on a project, select for it to play full screen and it plays an entirely different project that's not even in the same folder.
I use iMovie all the time for it's quick editing but very frustrated with accessing files & sluggish playback on various machines. Now it won't play back the correct project in full screen mode.
I have chased the hardware side of my issues with recent purchases giving me: 215 GB available on my internal hard drive, 811 GB available on my external G-Tech Raid that holds the video project and events and I'm using firewire 800. All updates are done, etc.
UGH! Any ideas??

Full screen mode is like the cover-flow view in iTunes. If you move your cursor to the bottom of the screen, you will see the cover flow and can select the movie you want.

    OK. I misstated this. I have a number of Smart Mailboxes with their specific rules in which to route certain topics to specify mailboxes. I am trying to not have to create each Smart Mailbox on each computer.
    The problem is that when I am on the road I add contacts, bookmarks, keychain items, contacts into my laptop and vice versa when home. I would just like to have those Sync on both computers. Seems like it should be easy, but it hasn't been.
    I really don't think I have anything "non-standard." A few Smart Mailboxes, a couple of signatures, thats pretty much it.

  • How do you exit a game from full screen mode when the game has crashed?

    Hey there
    There has seriously got to be a better way of exiting a crashed game than just turning the power off.
    I sometimes play Sims 3 on my mac, and we all know that Sims 3 is the most poorly coded game out there, so it crashes a lot. I don't understand how you can get out of the full screen without switching the machine off the wrong way.
    I have tried every single keyboard command people say to exit full screen mode, but they don't work when the game has crashed! In fact pressed every single button on the keyboard to try and exit, but nothing works.
    On Windows it's so simple, you press the start button on the keyboard, but on a mac it doesnt work.
    So any help to what i can do?
    Thanks

    Force quit just the game itself.
    Command + option + esc
    It's like control + alt + delete on Windows.

  • How to stay in full screen mode when the movie is end

    for some commercial reason, I need quicktime to stay in full screen mode when a movie playing is end.How can I config it? Thanks a lot.

    You can place what i called a sprite in the video.
    http://homepage.mac.com/qt4web/sprites/items.html
    Scroll down the web page a little bit and you'll find it. You place the stop sprite a few seconds before the end of the video.
    Right click on or control+click on stopsprite.mov in the above web page to open the sprite in the Quicktime player.
    Click on the sprite movie, 'select all' from the menu. Click on the video you want to stop. Go to about 5 second (more would better) before the end of the video. Hit the key i on the keyboard. Go to the end of the video and hit the key o (Oh). Go back up to Quicktime's menu--->Edit--->Add To Selection & Scale--->Save As and rename the video. Done....
    If for some reason the video doesn't stop add more time....10 seconds before the end of the video.

  • Aperture 3.1 - Love Full Screen Mode, Hate The System Lock-Ups

    Hi Guys,
    I don't know if I'm the only person encountering this issue but Aperture 3 is driving me nuts. While I absolutely love the program and the full-screen mode, what I hate is the frequent lock-ups that force me to completely restart my iMac. Having the application lock-up is highly annoying but at least in "normal" mode I could kill the application from the Dock or Activity Monitor. However, when I'm operating in full-screen mode then I can't switch out of the application and seem to have no option but to completely restart my computer. This problem, which I first started experiencing with version 3.0 but which does seem to have been addressed in version 3.1, is happening so often that I'm afraid now to even use full-screen mode.
    This problem only, to my memory, seems to happen when making adjustments but it does not seem to matter which adjustment. In the most recent occurrence the lock-up happened when I cancelled the application of a Crop by clicking the X icon on the Crop HUD.
    Does anyone know either a) what might be causing the lock-ups, or b) how I can kill Aperture without having to completely restart my computer?

    You could also set up SPACES to see if that works when lock up occurs in full screen
    Apple Icon > System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot corners
    I have bottom left set to spaces
    Then drop the mouse to bottom left, 4 windows appear, drag aperture to a seperate window and run there, you desktop is in a different space and can be accessed by bottom left of screen mouse movement (if the mouse works when A3 locks up)

  • Why is one of my dual screen grayed out when in full screen mode on the other?

    I just added a second monitor for an extended desktop. When I go into full screen mode on one the other greys out. Is there a way to fix this or am i stuck? thanks!!!

    No that is just the way it is. Apple still can't figure out how to do full screen apps. When you put any app into full screen mode it make a second desktop to run that app on. When that happen the second monitor, in a dual monitor setup, has nothing to do as everything is on the main monitor in different desktops.
    You'll have to just expand the app to the max window size instead of going into full screen. Then you can drag/place different apps on each monitor.

  • Full screen mode and the tab key: how to ignore invisible UI elements

    Hi there,
    When Mozilla is in windowed mode, the tab key moves between the page content, which is great. However, when it reaches the end of the page, it then goes to the tab bar, the address bar, the search bar, something I can't figure out, and only then back to the page content.
    When Mozilla is in full screen mode, it does the same thing, even though none of the UI elements (such as the menu bar et al) are actually visible.
    So my question is this: is there a way to disable tab from going to the UI elements when FF is in full screen mode? If not, is there a way to disable this entirely?

    You have to change the cursor focus.
    What I usually do for PDF pages/tabs, is click in the URL/location bar, then F11.<br />
    For Flash, if you click on the page outside of the video area/box, F11 should work.

  • Unable to view project in full screen mode.

    I'm working on three different imovie projects, and they are all in my project library. For two of the three projects I have no problems viewing them on the full screen mode, but the one that I'm currently working on won't play full screen when selected, it plays a different project. I called Icare support, and they said the problem wasn't in the program, but rather in the project. They suggested that I post my question here on the Apple Message Board to see if they are any suggestions, otherwise, I'll have to rebuild the project...I've spent two weeks working on it...ouch!

    Think of Full Screen Mode like a browser that let's you watch a movie. If you stop before it ends, it remembers your place and lets you take up where you left off the next time you come back.
    Move your cursor down toward the bottom middle of the full screen view. You will see a cover flow view, and you can select the project you want to view.

  • Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

    Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
    It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play.  That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
    How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

    I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app.  It should work just fine, it does work ok for me  on iphone 5.  The original question was to play music videos in the music app.  Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
    The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not.  I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found.  There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before. 
    The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play.  There is simply no way to categorize or group videos.  The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple.  It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
    You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos.  And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist.  Actually it is getting worse.  Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area. 
    Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
    What is happening here???  

  • How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

    using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
    selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click.  How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

    In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
    Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
    If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features

  • In full screen mode (with "Hide Toolbars" selected), is there a way to make FF stop bumping the page up and down everytime I move the mouse to the top of the screen to reveal/hide the toolbar?

    In other words, is there a way to make FF behave like IE9 in full screen mode where the toolbar appears "over" the page rather than pushing the page down?

    Hello,
    Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
    Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.

  • How do I set Firefox to start on login in full screen mode and permanently disable the tool bars?

    I am trying to set up a touch screen windows 7 lenovo desktop for use by older users with no prior experiance of PC's. I would like Firefox to start on login and open in full screen mode, with all toolbars disabled. Is this possible? and if so how do I go about doing this?

    If you close Firefox 4 while in full screen mode then the browser should start in full screen mode the next time. That setting is stored in localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
    If you want to prevent toolbars from opening if you hover to the top then hide the full-screen-toggler with code in userChrome.css
    Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

  • Having trouble streaming NBA league pass from my MBP to my TV in full screen mode, help please.

    So i have the Moshi mini dp and the apple hdmi cable. I cannot stream from my MBP to my TV in FULL sceen mode cleanly with 720p resolution. When NOT hooked up to my TV the MBP has no problem going fullscreen perfectly, then, when I connect the mini dp to the MBP and TV it gets messed up on both the TV and MBP. The last caveat is that it streams PERFECTLY in NON full screen mode, but, the second I change it to full screen, blamo! It gets all messed up. One thing I did that is really just a 'work around' was decreased my resolution, no longer 720p >:(  and this is not satisfactory to me.  Any suggestions?

    Any help to increase the resolution quality of my DV file will be EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
    For faster editing iMovie 08 & 09 uses single-field processing. This means every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses all of the image, I think you will find it looks better.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 is a terrific combination.
