IMovie 10.0.1 lost all project an events of iMovie 9.0.9

During download  a folder containing iMovie 9.0.9 has been created. I can also restore the old version via time machine.
can anyone help me to transfer projects and events into the new version?

Please repost in the iMovie forum, that is where the iMovie gurus will be.

  • IMovie 10: Lost all projects and events when upgrading

    When I opened iMovie 10 the first time, it starting updating thumbnails. At some stage it got stuck on a certain event. After have seen the rainbow circle for a few hours and it was getting nowhere, I force quit the application. When I opened it the next time, both the 'events' folder and the 'project' folder are empty. I can see that all projects and events are still there in the finder folder, but I cannot import them into iMovie. Does anybody know what to do?

    The events and projects from older versions have to be updated. You should a dialog about this when you first launch the application.  You can also update from the File menu.

  • IMovie - Start fresh and import all projects and events from scratch

    I am using iMovie 10.0.6 on Yosemite.
    I have 3 Libraries that stretch back many years.  When I open iMovie, it loads the Projects and says there are 42, but only shows about 8.  The others are missing.  The event folders show up but the event data is missing.
    Basically I want to start over.  I want ONE clean library and I want to re-import all of my raw event data and the projects that I created using that event data.
    How on earth does one do this?

    If you have  iMovie Projects and imovie Events folders in <user name> / Movies, these are from iMovie 9, so I infer that you have transferred them from an old machine and upgraded them to imovie 10.   
    If this is correct you should still have your projects and events.  iMovie 10 stores everything in packages with the extension .imovielibrary.  If this has become corrupt you should be able to upgrade them again (they will automatically go into a new library).  You  will find an empty file with a name something like "updated to iMovie 10" in the events and projects folders.  These need to be trashed in order to allow them to be upgraded afreash.

  • IMovie crashed and lost all projects

    I just got the new MacBook Air for Christmas and am running Mavericks and iMovie 10.0.1.  I have been working on a 20 minute long video for school for the last few weeks until today when my iMovie suddenly crashed and now my projects are no where to be found.  I have tried deleting the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file (but i don't even have that file, mine is something like 'com.apple.imovieapp.shared ... plist)in the preferences folder but that did not do anything.  I have also deleted and reinstalled iMovie but still nothing. When I open up iMovie my libraries are there and I can see the video names under the libraries, but there are empty.  I can also see some of my events when I click on "All Events".  I have done everything I can think of to try to get my movies back. Also, when I go to my iMovie projects folder from my user name in the HD, it is there as .rcproject but it is in a data format. Unfortunately, since it is a new computer, I do not have a time machine backup to recover from.  If anyone had any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated! I'm desperate!
    Thanks for your help!

  • I am attempting to update from iMovie 9 to iMovie 10. I have many movies with iMovie 9. Yet, on iMovie 10, when I press "update projects and events", it states "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update". What do I do?

Yet, on iMovie 10, when I press "update projects and events", it states "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update". Somehow it doesnt' see all the movies I have on iMovie 9 library.  What do I do?

    I'm dealing with this same issue. At one point, it did recognize the Update function but then said it could not import the cache.mov and plist files which apparently means that imovie 10 can't see any of these past events. I can't figure it out.

  • I have lost all my iPhoto events after upgrading to Photos Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

    I have lost all my iPhoto events. Or, am I missing something here?
    I just upgraded to the new Photos from iPhoto on my iMac. The new Photos app imported and reorganized my photos by date and mixed all of my previous well organized iPhoto events into a jumbled lot.
    How can I re-sort these photos back into an Event type of organization?
    I think I had several thousand events.

    Moments are the new Events.  All of your events in iPhoto are not Moments in Photo and were also brought over as an album. Open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination and look in the folder titled "iPhoto Events".
    There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder.
    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the folder
    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.

  • I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?

    I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?  I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud.  I changed it back and still don't have any events.

    Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers?  If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • I backed up my entire photo collection to a flashdrive, when it finished my photo's got all grouped together and I lost all titles of events.  can you help? thanks

    I backed up my entire photo collection to a flashdrive.. After they downloaded, all my photo's got grouped together, and I lost all my individule events and titles of pictures.. Is there a way to get back my groups and titles?  Thanks

    To back up everything you must backup everything - ie back up the entire iPhoto library as a single entity
    And it must be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled). Flash drives typically are not. They usually are a FAT format which will not work
    Exactly how did you do the backup and what format is your flash drive

    Your music will only be where you put it.
    Did you copy all of your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one?

  • Lost all my calendar events on Ipad. Seems to coinside with deleting my Hotmail address

    Lost all my calendar events on Ipad. Seems to coincide with deleting my Hotmail address. Is this possible?

    I would try adding your Hotmail calendar back in and then seeing if all of your events show up. You can check the events to see which calendar they are assigned to.

  • Added Clip; Lost All Projects

    Over the last few weeks, I've built up a series of iMovie '08 projects and events. Today, I was editing a project and had just dragged a clip into the project. The clip appeared in the project window, but I knew something wasn't right when I could not get the clip to play. I exited out of iMovie and launched it again. When iMovie came up, all of my projects were gone (showing only the default "My First Project"), but the events were still there.
    The console showed the "Error writing to disk" that has been mentioned in other posts plus a "dictionary" error.
    2007-10-07 11:54:57.277 iMovie[354] Project '/Users/will/Movies/iMovie Projects.localized/Maui 2007.rcproject' - save: Error writing to disk!
    2007-10-07 11:56:12.874 iMovie[354] * -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value
    iMovie didn't crash (as I've read in other posts), but something went terribly wrong to lose all of my projects. Is there any way get my projects back?
    Message was edited by: Will Deatrick

    After some more poking around, I found that a new "iMovie Projects" folder had been created and my old one (with my projects inside) was now named, "iMovie Projects 1". I deleted the new "iMovie Projects" folder and renamed the old folder to the standard name. When I launched iMovie, all of my projects as of this morning reappeared, but not the projects or edits I made today.
    I may have caused some of the problem this morning when I selected "File > New Folder..." from within iMovie. I had expected this to create a folder in the Projects Library (as in iPhoto or iTunes), but nothing seemed to happen. Has anyone else been able to create a folder within the Projects Library.

  • Saving all projects and events to external hard drive

    I finished an iMovie project last night and published it to YouTube.
    Then, in order to free up space on my Hard Drive, I moved some of the events to a USB external drive because I figured I was finished with them as far as making my movie was concerned.
    My movie got "muted" by YouTube (copyright issue), so I need to go back and edit the project to remove a soundtrack, but the project has lots of yellow warning markers on various clips.
    I went to Genius Bar, and he explained that all iMovie events and all iMovie projects must reside in the same place. Makes sense ..... so I bought a new Seagate 7200 rpm Firewire External Drive (which will be faster than my USB drive) and plan to move all events and projects to the Seagate hard drive.
    But - if everything is on an external drive, how do I play a movie on my Mac when I want to show somebody? Do I copy the project back to iMovie? But will it play normally if all the accompanying events are stored elsewhere?
    The firewire 7200 rpm drives do not come in a portable drive, so I bought a desktop size drive - not very portable ..... so I can't be schlepping that drive every time I want to show a movie! I don't want to open the package if this is not the best solution.
    I'm starting to take a lot of video - so it's eating up my hard drive .....
    Thanks in advance for your help .... !
    T

    you want to hold the command key and drag the project file to hard drive. The hard drive can be even one of the portable my passport. I have several. It just needs to be formatted Macos extended. Once you drag the project it will ask if you want to take the events with you....say yes. Viola ... all movies projects and events stay together. However, if you just want to show the movie after its edited, share to itunes and create a version that can play in itunes.

  • Upgraded to Photo on MacBook Pro and lost all of the EVENTS I had in prior version

    Upgraded to Photo on MacBook and Lost all the Events in my prior iPhoto library   How do I get them back? 

    Upgraded to Photo on MacBook and Lost all the Events in my prior iPhoto library   How do I get them back?
    There are no events at all in Photos.  The Library is no longer partitioned into events, it is split into Moments, and the Moments are created automatically based  on the date and the location, if a locations available. You have no control at all over the partitioning of the library - Photos is doing that for you.
    The folder "iPhoto Events" does not contain events, it has new albums. For each of the previous events an album has been created. But these are really albums and will  not behave like events at all. And if you import new photos, they will show in the "Last Import" album, but no album will be created for this new import.
    Any structuring you want to do in your library will have to be based on albums or smart albums. Use keywords to tag your photos, so you can create smart albums.

  • On my iPhone's calendar, the " " sign is gray and won't let me add events. Plus I've lost all my future events. Help?

    My iPhone's Calendar's "+" sign is gray and I cannot add events. Plus I've lost All future events.  Help?

    I think you also played with the contrast setting.
    Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increse contrast.
    Turn it off.
    Voila.

  • Downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events.  How do I get them back?, downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events.  How do I get them back?

    I downloaded the new software ios5 the other day.  Woke up this morning and all my calendar events are gone!  How do I get everything back??

    Plug in your iPhone. Restore it. If it asks you if you want to back it up say no. When the restoring is done, without plugging in your iPhone, you should get an option to restore your iPhone from a back up or a new iPhone option. Restore it from your back up. It has nothing to do with iCloud but I recommend you set up an iCloud account to avoid loosing stuff like your contacts. And it's free.
