IMovie 10.0.4 froze my macbook and lost my current project

While editing some video in iMovie 10.0.4 on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.3, 2.3GHz i5, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD), iMovie "quit unexpectedly" several times (usually while I was trying to use the Ken Burns feature). And twice it completely froze/locked up my entire system. Eventually I had to reboot (both times it happened). The first time, everything was okay, and I was able to continue (although I was extremely annoyed). However, the second time I was forced to reboot, iMovie seems to have lost the project I was working on!!! No project anywhere to be found! All my original footage is still there, but no project. I am extremely upset and frustrated! I have used iMovie for my all video editing for more than four years, and the new iMovie 10 has been by far the worst experience I have ever had with any apple product! It is so unreliable and unstable. Someone please rescue me from this pit of despair!!

Just happened again today. I started over on my project. Got about an hour of work done, when iMovie suddenly froze my entire system. I waited a good 20 minutes to see if it would resolve itself, still was stuck. Then I tried every version of Force Quit I could find, nothing worked. Had to reboot again...........

Updated iMovie on my brand new mac mini and lost "SPEED" function.

Updated iMovie on my brand new Mac Mini and lost "SPEED" function.

Hello bbryson68, I'm sure you've just over-looked it.
The answer is to click on Adjust above the Clip in Viewer, this will bring into view a adjustments bar also above the Clip.
Now you just have to select the speed via the Turtle icon. Once the clip has been speed-up or down, you'll get a Slider
over the clip in question & a Rabbit icon indicating the clip has been speed-up.
If you want to keep audio undistorted check the Preserve Pitch checkbox above the viewer.
The Clip Slider & icon of Rabbit appear in the Clip-Trimer window below the main Clip, also check your Pref's to see if you have
Apply Slow Motion checked? This will slow or speed up all other clips to the first clip.

I backed up my iphone 3 and lost my current contacts

I backed up my husbands old iphone 3 and lost any current contacts and texts that he had. Is there a way to retrieve the current info?

If you're using your phone as recommended, your contacts reside on your computer in Outlook, Address Book, or with a cloud service. Just synch your contacts to your phone from your computer or cloud service.

so, I think the crash has also something to do with this error. My mac just got VERY hot while using iMovie and It was actually not even working on anything. All I did is drag an .mts file to the time line.
I noticed this error about 4 times in console, before the mac started getting hot:
iMovie[871]: CoreAnimation: warning, deleted thread with uncommitted CATransaction; set CA_DEBUG_TRANSACTIONS=1 in environment to log backtraces.

IPhone froze during update and lost CD I purchased.

I plugged my iPhone 4 in after downloading a music CD on the iPhone. I was trying to transfer the CD to my iTunes library. When I plugged in my phone it said that there was an update available, 4.0.1 and asked if I wanted to update my phone. I clicked yes and when I came back a few minutes later the phone froze and had to be completely restored. However, the music CD was not transferred to my iTunes library prior to freezing and the CD is lost. Is there a way that I can get this music back into my iTunes library of back to my iPhone without having to pay for it again since it was a software issue with the phone?

Unfortunately, you may have to pay for the CD again. You should have had the option to backup your iPhone or been prompted to transfer purchases before the upgrade.
You can contact iTunes support and let them know what happened and see if they will authorize another download for your account.

Had to do a recovery from icloud and lost all my projects in imovie

''''' "It looks like the Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder was moved from my "local data" to the "app data" folder ... " '''''
There is a "Profile" folder in each location, App Data has the actual Profile folder and the Local Settings\App Data location contains the various cache files, along with other files like files for Safe Browsing.

TS4062 i updated iPhone to ios7, synced it with macbook and lost calendar.how do i find it?

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.

Still loose ability to drag and drop files in Project pane.

In the last two weeks, I've had two instances where I lost
the ability to drag and drop files within the Project pane.
However, here's the kicker...the problem doesn't manefest itself
until after I end my session, close RH, then restart the computer
and restart the project. That means I don't know that I'm working
in a broken project until AFTER I've zipped up and saved the
current project. I tried addressing this in this orum once already
and I received some suggested fixes (included in the list below)
but it never fixed and and has happened again.
Some pieces of information:
- I've deleted the .xpj and cpd files, no joy.
- I've regenerated the output, then tried to move a file, no
joy.
- I've generated a CHM (supposedy to update other files), no
joy.
- I'm not attempting to move a file to a directory where that
name already exists
- If while I'm having the problem, I create a nw project, new
folders, and new topics, they move around fine.
- If I create a topic IN the directory with the problem, I
cannot move that file.
- I've zippd up a broken project and sent it to Adobe. They
openned it and it was fine. They zipped it back to me and it still
wasn't.
- If I create a new project, replicate my directory
structure, and import the htm files into the new structure (a
ubdirectory at a time), the files move fine.
- I'm only working local on Windows 2000 with 30 GB of disk
space, and I have not installed anything else on the computer in
the last 2 weeks.
- I've escalated this to the next level at Adobe and am
sitting by my phone with my headset waiting for the call back
"within the next two hours".
Anyone seen this?

I'm not sure on the exact details of your process, but if you
open the project after unzipping it, perhaps the unzip process has
changed that file attribute...?
I appreciate your response, but no...all files and
directories had all permissions allowed. The zip process wasn't
involved until aftrer the problem showed itself...I zip just for
backup with the hope that I never have to go to it. It was my
working project that lost the ability to move files. It just turns
out that after it happened and I went to the zip that it showed
that the problem had affected the files before I zipped them and
therefore, the zip was of the broken set.

I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto. I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past. How do I fix this? How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps? There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.
