IMovie 10.0.2/Project disappeared, not editable anymore, need HELP!?

Following problem occured on my Mac. Some days ago I created a new video with the plain/simple project template. All worked fine, I was able to upload it to Youtube and post-editing workes also fine.
So, some days later (today) I wanted to reuse the video and the projekt is not shown anymore in iMovie with the result that I cannot reuse it.
For the record:
I am still on the same library and have not changed it
The files and the event (project) definition file is still stored and available in the library package if you look into it with Finder. (Looks like projects are stored in SQLite Format)
The shared video in its MOV format is still in the library package
The source files are still stored in the package and are also available within iMovie
Any ideas to get the project back into iMovie to be able to edit/re-use it? Is there any hidden feature to rebuild iMovie libraries?
Thanks in advance

No, I did not.
Meanwhile I have found the reason for the projects disappear in my libraries! The problem is caused by using the dash "#" symbol in my project names.
I have created another project with a dash in the name and the project also disappeared in iMovie with the same effect that the underlying data was still in die library.
Apple should release a warning that some special characters are not allowed to be used in project names or better should solve this.
Thanks for your help!

IMovie is not fun anymore, need help to go back to arlier version!

I use iMovie seldom and for simple family movies.Grandchildren etc. Earlier versions were fun and intiutive, now they have become probably more complete and offer more possibilities, but they are not as simple and intuitive as they were.
I dont like iMovie anymore.

Hello Cesare:
Welcome to discussions!
What is happening that makes you say that?

Auto brightness does not work anymore, need help!

Auto brightness quit working... I see a several posts but no replies? Anyway to fix this? Is this an iso6 issue?

If you have tried the troubleshooting steps for the iPhone, (power off/on, reset, restore) and none of them work, then I would say it is probably a hardware issue. The sleep button can fail after a period of time and you state you are using a 3G, so it is possible it was failing before you did the upgrade and that it has finally given up. It may be you need to either look for a repair facility to repair it or replace the phone. Up to you.

Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

Hi
Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
Concerning your 4 users:
user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
and approves resource timesheet.
user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
Hope this helps.

I restored my iphone and updated it but the progress didn't complete and now my iphone is not working. i need help asap.

my phone was not working only the restore button was available so i restored it and they told me i have to update my iphone 5s as well. i waited till the end the update software was downloaded successfully but then the iphone restarted by itself and now its not working. the iphone screen is shown the picture when you first time open the phone to connect it to an itunes. i connected it by it not working, i restart everything still not working:( i need help asap please. thankyou

it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

IMovie 10.0.3 project disappears after share

I created a new project in iMovie 10.0.3 (2013), but sometime after I "Shared" it to iTunes, it disappeared from the iMovie project browser. I still have the finished movie, but I cannot edit and re-share the movie because the "project" has gone missing. To be clear:
- the movie clips are still shown in iMovie
- The finished movie is still shown in the "Theater" tab
- The project DOES NOT appear anywhere in the "LIbraries" browser in iMovie
- The project DOES appear to be still on the disk here:
~/Movies/iMovie\ Library.imovielibrary/\ Updated\ Projects/Ski\ edit
With the CurrentVersion.imoveevent file. Does anyone have any ideas why this happened or how to get the project back? I have alread tried the following:
- Remove iMovie and reinstall
- Remove iMovie preference files

I'm a bit puzzled by your path description to the project.
~/Movies/iMovie\ Library.imovielibrary/\ Updated\ Projects/Ski\ edit
What are all the back-slashes? If the missing project is called "Ski" (is this correct?) then I would have expected :
~/Movies/iMovie/Library.imovielibrary/Updated Projects/Ski
and within the Ski folder there would be folders called Ski Project, Original Media, Render Files, Shared items, Old versions, Analysis files and the CurrentVersion.imoveevent file. (Not all may be present and there may be others). I have never seen an item "edit".
You say Ski is a project created in iMovie 10. In that case it would not appear in the "Updated Projects" event but directly under Library.imovielibrary (unless you deliberately moved it there).
Did you have an earlier version in iMovie 9?

IMovie project can't edit anymore

Hi,
I bought my new Macbook Air this month, and started to use the iMovie last week,
when I am editing my project, suddenly the preview turn black/grey,
and when I quit iMovie and reopen it, I can't edit it anymore!!
The button edit project is no longer in white text.
My storage still have about 80GB free, so I think it is not about the storage problem(?)
I have searched a lot, but still can't come up with a solution.
Please help, I have to hand in my movie before this semester ends.
Thanks a lot!

yes, thank you again!
"Edit project" button on the left corner is in "grey" colour...

IMovie 9.0.9 project disappeared

working on a project and i shared it to dropbox without exporting it. When i came back a week later it was not in iMovie anymore. When looking in finder, it is there, but when clicked on it opens imovie but it is just not there.

No, I did not.
Meanwhile I have found the reason for the projects disappear in my libraries! The problem is caused by using the dash "#" symbol in my project names.
I have created another project with a dash in the name and the project also disappeared in iMovie with the same effect that the underlying data was still in die library.

Can you start iMovie from another user account on your Mac? If so, something is corrupted in your User folder, most likely the Plist.
Try going to <User>/Library/Preferences/ folder.
Drag com.apple.iMovieApp.plist to your desktop.
Then restart iMovie.
If that does not help, the corruption may be in your Project file. In this case, if you are running Time Machine, go back in time to a working version.

Error message "VI is not executable"! Need help with Application Builder

Hello,
I have a problem with an application, built with the Application Builder. I have read some threads about the problem I have, but I still don't know a solution.
When I run my front panel from LabVIEW, everything is good. So, now I created an application (and an installer) to be able to run it on other PCs as well. This application does not work. Everytime I start it on my PC, I get the error "VI is not executable. ...". I read in several forums solutions for this error, but I cannot fix it! I've changed my properties for the builder, but with no success. Perhaps, anybody has more ideas, what's the problem.
To get a better idea from my project, here a little description of it:
In the block diagram there is a while loop which is continuously runned. In this loop I only set some properties for the layout of the front panel, such as decorations which will be hidden/shown and changes of colours of indicators... For the rest, it waits for a click on the button "Start" in the front panel. After that, a DLL is called to communicate with a USB device. Some measurements are carried out and the DLL is closed. I hope, you can get a global idea from my block diagram...
I use LabVIEW 8.5, the DLL is a third-party DLL, which we wrote on our own. But I think the DLL works properly, if it is called from a C# application it works and it works, too, by calling it from LabVIEW when I am in development mode.
It's a project for university and I'm just a beginner in LabVIEW, so I don't have so much experiences in it, but I think i improved my knowlegde about LabVIEW very well in the last weeks!
So, i hope to get an answer soon (the deadline for the project is not soooo far away )
If you need more information, please let it know...
I would be very grateful if there is someone with a working solution...
Kind regards from the Netherlands,
Sebastian

Sebastian,
Your architecture makes it very difficult to debug this and other problems. Does the error message mention which VI is causing the problem? It is very important to wire your error clusters everywhere. In LabVIEW, when a node throws an error (Error.Status = T), future nodes do not execute. At the end, place an error cluster indicator that you can see on your front panel. When an error posts, you can right click the indicator (even in a compiled application) and select "Explain Error".
This is a start, but you really need to push this into a queued-state machine before this gets any more complicated. As it were, if anything in your loop hangs, your whole application hangs. See attached for a queued-message handler (not advisable for actual applications, but you get the point. You would want to have a type defined enum in lieu of strings, and shared data between states differently, etc.)

Editing DVD, NEED HELP!

Hey everyone! I just got a NON-COPYRIGHTED DVD which I need
to delete and add a new first scene on. I saved the Video_TS folder
to me PC, but it wont let me add the files (VOBs ETC)
How can I edit this DVD with Director? Or can I not edit
DVDs

Thats why I bought it....... Like cant u save it to ur PC and edit
the VOBs?
Hi,
As was said before, Director cannot edit DVD video. You will
need a video editing program like Premiere. Director can read
chapers
from a DVD or allow you to play sections of a DVD. Director
does not allow DVD authoring. Any application you create will have
to
run off a computer (Mac or PC). It does not allow output to a
TV DVD player.
