IMovie '09 Maps going totally blank!

What would cause this?
My iMovie globes are showing up... COMPLETELY BLANK WHITE!
Wha? Flat maps are blank black.
Even old projects that had globes in them are failing to reopen with maps intact.
The movement from city to city, and overlaying line all work.
What to do?

I guess this hasn't shown up on other iMovie '09 users. The only thing that helped was to revert to an earlier version of iMovie '09 and never upgrade.
Which begs another question: on a machine that has two copies of Snow Leopard on two different bootable disks, why does one work smoothly with iMovie '09, 8.0.5 while the other absolutely refuses to load it, and can only work with iMovie '09 8.0 (717).
The failing SL has been replaced ( no change ) then brought up to the latest update ( no change ) and reloads + reupdates of iMovie '09 have been tried along with numerous other things like Repair Disk Permissions, etc.
What could the OS possibly be doing? I've zapped PRAMs and everything I try does no good.

  • As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. What causes this?

    As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app/site I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). This is when I'm Internet online. If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. Some of the possibilities I'm guessing are: glitches in my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi providership?; staying too long on a site that's waiting for me to finish and "Submit"?; computer hardware prob (yikes, I hope not! It's brand new). Any ideas out there?

    When this 'white-out' occurs, is the display 100% white with no error message and no menu bar?
    Does this occur when you are using Wi Fi or connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable?
    Ciao.

  • Sharing from iMovie and getting a total blank

    Hi. I sort of have two questions. One that's bothered me ever since first fiddling around with iMovie and iDVD is why when I open a DVD project after having closed it before does it always give me a new name. The first one is project.dvdproj. The next is project 1.dvdproj. The next is project 2.dvdproj. How can I avoid this?
    At the same time, though, if I make some changes in iMovie and want to send it to iDVD, do I need a new name each time? Can I set something to where it just automatically replaces the one that came before?
    Now the main question. This new version of iDVD is so much harder for me to intuit. (And the help menus don't always help a whole lot, either.) A couple weeks ago I made an iMovie that needed no chapters, so when I "shared" it to iDVD, I had no "Play Movie" button or anything. I finally figured out that I had to add the movie seperately. (How is that "sharing" then?!) Currently I have an iMovie which I'm ready to make a DVD of. I shared it to iDVD and it gave me the "Play Movie" button, as well as the "Scene Selections" button. Great! But then I had to stop working and I wasn't happy with some of the submenus, so I decided to just quit without saving anything because I wanted to start from scratch. Now, when I try to go from iMovie to iDVD and "share" it, I'm getting a total blank. No "Play Movie" button, no "Scene Selections" button. I really don't want to have to put them in myself. Can someone please, please help?! I'm more than frustrated by all this. I just want to get the thing done.
    Thank you for any help you can give!

    Hello, yvonne,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    why when I open a DVD project after having closed it before does it always give me a new name. The first one is project.dvdproj. The next is project 1.dvdproj. The next is project 2.dvdproj. How can I avoid this?
    iDVD will ask you to name a new project when you first create it. You need to be sure you 'save' it before closing it. Then, you should be able to open it by clicking on the project with the name you gave it. The DVD projects usually save to your 'documents' folder by default.
    At the same time, though, if I make some changes in iMovie and want to send it to iDVD, do I need a new name each time? Can I set something to where it just automatically replaces the one that came before?
    Once your movie is in a DVD project and then you make edits to the movie, you should receive a message when you open that iDVD project that iDVD has detected changes and it will ask if you want iDVD to update. You can then click yes/ok.
    Currently I have an iMovie which I'm ready to make a DVD of. I shared it to iDVD and it gave me the "Play Movie" button, as well as the "Scene Selections" button. Great! But then I had to stop working and I wasn't happy with some of the submenus, so I decided to just quit without saving anything because I wanted to start from scratch. Now, when I try to go from iMovie to iDVD and "share" it, I'm getting a total blank. No "Play Movie" button, no "Scene Selections" button.
    When you are finished with your current iMovie, make your chapter markers and then save and close your movie. Don't send it to iDVD from WITHIN iMovie.
    Open iDVD and select your theme. Then, using the 'Media' tab, navigate to 'Movies' and select your movie and drag it into iDVD's main screen. Be sure not to drop it into a 'DROP ZONE.'
    That may have been what you did when you did not get the title or scene selections. You do not need to create these yourself.

  • Macbook Pro Mid 2014 totally blank screen

    When I power on, my macbook pro does nothing (blank screen) after the sound.
    System:
    -Macbook Pro Retina 13' (Mid 2014) 256GB SSD, i5, 8Gig RAM
    -Yosemite (10.10)
    I tried to install Windows 8.1 using bootcamp assistant on Yosemite.
    After installing Windows 8.1, it asked me to restart.
    When I restarted it stuck on blank screen. I've heard the startup noise but nothing happened.
    I tried many startup key combinations such as; Command(Alt), cmd+R,cmd+V,T, but the screen is always blank.
    Although the screen light is, on the screen is totally blank.
    I did resetting SMC, and also I did cmd+alt+P+R (I've heard 4 times startup sound) but the screen is always blank.
    Nothing happens. I can only shut down by pressing the power button for 4 seconds.
    As a result when I power on, I hear the sound but nothing happens. Nothing on the screen.
    What I did before was;
    0- The system is a brand new mac. I bought it 1 week ago.
    1- I tried to install windows 8.1 using bootcamp. But failed. Because windows installer gave me an error that windows can not be installed on GPT partition.(I have also MacBook Air and MacMini with bootcamp Windows 8.1 working fine.)
    2- Then I rebooted using Alt key then booted to MacOSX and deleted the windows part and many combinations. But failed. The error was always the same GPT error.
    3- I reinstalled Yosemite tried all the steps but failed with the same error (GPT error)
    4- I phoned to apple helpdesk and they tried to help installing windows but we couldn't succeed.
    5- We had another same macbook pro. And we could install windows 8.1 easily.
    6- I compared the two machines in windows setup. The problematic mac had first partition labelled EFI.
    7- Then after a few hours. I tried to install again. And saw that the EFI label was gone!. But I don't know how this is happened.
    8- I was happy and started to install windows. After installing the system gone!!.

    I would return it for an exchange. At a minimum, I would take it in to an Apple store.

  • I updated imovie, which is now totally different.  I tried to import videos from iphotos, but the system is now stuck on "import" and it doesn't include iphotos.  Clicking on "close" doesn't work.  How do I get out of "import"?

  • Maps on mavericks blank

    Having updated my Macbook Pro Retina to Mavericks, I find that the new Maps app is blank and not loading the maps, in either standard, hybrid or Satellite view.
    Various other users have reported changing the Language order solves this, but I only have one language (English) that is set. Others suggested it worked in full screen mode and/or after a reboot, but I have tried this too and this has no effect.
    Has anyone else had this issue or found any other resolution to the problem?

    This problem had been plaguing me for months, and none of the suggestions I tried online helped. I finally tried looking in the console, and found lots of lines like this:
    9/3/14 10:58:57.512 xpcd[206]: com.apple.geod[733]: registration request failed: (0x11, 0x0) Could not obtain real path to the container root (~/Library/Containers/com.apple.geod/Data): The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory
    9/3/14 10:58:57.703 com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.apple.geod[733]) Job appears to have crashed: Illegal instruction: 4
    9/3/14 10:58:57.703 com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.apple.geod) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
    I tried rm -r ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.geod and then re-launched Maps, and much to my delight, I was finally seeing actual maps!
    The console showed my map tiles being recreated, and fixing permissions on the com.apple.Maps container (which directory I had earlier tried deleting, based on other online suggestions):
    9/3/14 11:03:34.284 com.apple.geod[800]: /SourceCache/GeoServices/GeoServices-702.15.12/GEOTileDBWriter.mm:203 recreating tile database because manifest URL changed
    9/3/14 11:03:34.284 com.apple.geod[800]: /SourceCache/GeoServices/GeoServices-702.15.12/GEOTileDBWriter.mm:406 Recreating tile database
    9/3/14 11:03:50.311 xpcd[206]: restored permissions (100600 -> 100700) on /Users/jim/Library/Containers/com.apple.Maps/Container.plist
    It seems that removing both of those got rid of whatever corruption had been causing this long-standing problem. I hope this might help someone else.

  • Rented film, fully downloaded (eventually) press play now then screen goes to authorizing, then goes black blank, no film , repeated process 3 times, still no joy. first and last time I rent a film with Apple, how do I get my money back ? Thanks

    Rented film from Apple TV  fully downloaded (eventually) press play now then screen goes to authorizing for 10 mins, then goes black blank, no film , repeated process 3 times, still no joy. first and last time I rent a film with Apple, how do I get my money back ? Thanks

    First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion.  To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4.  What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
    Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content.  Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems.  You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults.  A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
    Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install.  If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

  • I downloaded a CD then I got message that some songs may already be in my iTunes did i want to replace them.  i said Yes.  Now my CD is totally blank.  Why?

    i downloaded a CD then I got message that some songs may already be in my iTunes did i want to replace them.  i said Yes.  Now my CD is totally blank.  Why?

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

  • Security pane in preferences is missing cookies, databases and non-secure forms options?  Also Privacy Pane is totally blank?

    I wanted to delete some cookies.  But when I went to the Security Pane in Safari Preferences, it does not show any of the following categories/settings option:  nothing for cookes (nothing for accept or show or anything else about cookies), nothing for databases, and nothing for non-secure forms.  No controls for these are showing in the Security pane.  Also, the Privacy Pane in Safari preferenes is totally blank--I can't set anything on that.  Where are these controls/settings options, why can't I see them?  I am using OSX 10.6.8 and Safari Version 5.1.9, I have a Mac Book Pro 3.06 Intel. Thanks. 

    Uninstall SIMBL as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Application Support/SIMBL
    InputManagers/SIMBL.bundle
    LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
    Log out and log back in.
    Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

  • PDF forms "print" as totally blank pages

    I am using a Mac running Mavericks. I have created a layout in InDesign, exported a PDF, then made form fields using Acrobat Pro XI. I then save the form using the "Enable More Tools" option so that people using Reader can save and print. The problem is that when people open, fill out and save the form using Acrobat Standard X, they cannot print the file. Pages do come out of the printer, but they are totally blank. No field data, no background form layout. Nothing. Right now, we are working around it by using the advanced > print as image setting out of Acrobat X, or by installing Reader XI. While these solutions work for our internal people, these files need to be sent outside of our company where we don't know what software will be used to fill them out.  As a side note, forms originally created in Acrobat Pro X print fine. This problem has appeared after I updated to Pro XI and other users ar still on Standard X.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there any solutions that can be applied to the form PDF file itself, so we don't have to deal with software compatibility issues for outside users?
    Thanks to anyone who may be able to provide insight on this issue.

    I am having this same issue. I used photoshop to create my form layout, exported as pdf and imported into acrobat. I have tried a variety of different things (color modes, optimizing the pdf, different save modes, etc), none of them have worked. The only way to get the form to not print blank pages is setting to print in grayscale or print as image. You can't simply download the form, fill it out and press print. This solution is not viable for external people who use these forms.
    I should note I have adobe acrobat 10 and the issue of printing blank pages only occurs in adobe reader 11. All other PDF reading programs (reader 10 and below and acrobat) work fine. I never had this issue before, only recently but my process for building forms hasn't changed.

  • Lightroom 4 Map Module Is Blank

    I upgraded from LR3 to LR4 yesterday and was excited to dive into the Map module. Unfortunately, the map seems to be blank. I have selected an image with GPS information. The Map module correctly looks up the location of the photo (Magdalena, New Mexico). This seems like a rendering bug.
    Update 1
    Just to check, I installed LR4 onto another OS X 10.6.8 machine that had not previously had Lightroom and imported the same picture. The Map module worked correctly. So, I tried re-installing LR4 on the original machine. Unfortunately, it still does not work. I tried creating a new catalog and backing up and then deleting all preferences. The map is still blank...
    I am open to suggestions so long as they don't involve re-installing the OS, as I just did a fresh install yesterday on this machine and therefore highly doubt that will accomplish anything other than wasting my time.
    I am open to all sorts of alternatives, including but not limited to:
    Running dtrace to look at library calls
    attaching XCode to debug (though I would assume all the objects have been stripped), or
    Starting up a WebDialogs/WebEx/VNC/TeamViewer/etc server for a dev to pry around on it or debug with XCode. Of course a debuggable build would greatly help with this.
    Update 2
    More defect info.
    I created a new user on the system that is failing, started LR4, created a new catalog, imported the test photo, changed to Map module--still blank. Something on this particular system is causing the rendering failure.
    So I figured what the heck, just to make sure, why don't I copy over the LR4 app from the system that is working. Still a blank map...
    My next thought was that perhaps it was an issue with the non-accelerated graphics. So I disabled the graphics switching. Still a blank map...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks juckehu. You nailed the problem. I really appreciate you coming up with this solution.
    As a programmer who develops software for all UNIX flavors, Mac OS X, and Windows, I find this not working on a case-sensitive filesytem behaviour to be rather ridiculous. I would be ashamed if my tools didn't work correctly because of something like this. Someone folks should be very embarassed, as from some searches I ran it seems like this issue has been around for a long time and with other Adobe products. So, apparently I now get to revert my Mac back to a Windows-esque case-insenstive filesystem. What a way to spend a Friday.
