IMovie 11 - events data duplicated - how to clean it up?

I have been using iMovie 11 to save all my video into events, grouped by year, month and date.  Usually, they load in just fine, going into the proper places.  Sometimes, however, they end up in the wrong place (either through slight of hand or having the wrong date on the clip that I'm importing).  It's been a challenge to get them in the right place, but I've managed to do it.  I generally delete the event, and re-import it.  What I've noticed, however, is the when I delete an event (aka, move event to trash), it hasn't been doing what I thought it was doing.  I manually went through the iMovie Events folder, and those old clips are still there.  For example, a clip that I deleted from 4-8-12 is no longer in the events display in iMovie, but the clip is still in the 4-8-12 folder within the iMovie Events folder.  I've been doing this for awhile, so who knows how many little hidden videos are scattered around that should be in the trash.  My question: Is there some function within iMovie or 3rd party utility that will clean up my iMovie Events folder so that it doesn't have all these duplicate videos?  (basically should delete any video file that is no longer displayed in iMovie)

The update server is down; try this temporary workaround

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • IMovie 08: How do I move  my iMovie 08 event ( Data files) files?

    Hi,
    I am trying to move my iMovie 08 files to another (external) drive but I cant seem to find anywhere in the program where I can point iMovie 08 to the data files in their new location.
    How can I do this?

    I am trying to move my iMovie 08 files to another (external) drive but I cant seem to find anywhere in the program where I can point iMovie 08 to the data files in their new location... How can I do this?
    I really find it hard to understand how something so intuitive and easy seems so hard to grasp for so many people. iMovie '08 is a "Drag 'n Drop" application. Rather than describe this operation yet another time, please view "QUICKIE" TUTORIAL 021: Moving iMovie '08 Events to an External Drive.

  • Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud. Having problem with Calendar. On one iMac, all the events are duplicated. How can I correct that problem? Under the Calendar accounts, I had my Apple id listed and also just iCloud.

    Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud: 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 4s, 1 MacPro Laptop, and 1 iPad 2.  When using Calendar, all the events were
    duplicated on my husbands iMac.  On his computer, under Calendar accounts, I had included iCloud and also my iCloud ID.  I thought that because I had two accounts listed that were connected to iCloud, that might be the cause of the duplication.  When I deleted ithe calendars from one of the accounts, it resulted
    in deleting all of the events on all of our network devices!
    I have since entered some new events into Calendar from my iMac and from my iPhone.  These appear correctly on all devices except my husband's iMac where they are again all duplicated.
    I have two questions: 1)  How can I eliminate the duplicated events on my husband's computer and 2) How do I retrieve the old wiped out Calendar events from
    Time Capsule.  I don't know how to find Calendar in the Time Capsule.  If I find the Calendar information in Time Capsule, how do I transfer it to my current Calendars?
    I was obtaining phone help from one of the Apple techs at Apple Support, but our call was disconnected part way through.  Didn't know how to reconnect with the tech.
    Thanks for any help.

    How do I point iMovie to events in my external  hard drive so I can play projects which use them?
    MacBook, iMovie 9.0.4

    Hi
    You can do this - by not doing it the way You describe as it will not work.
    a. the external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS extended (hfs) formatted -
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - will work for most things - BUT NOT FOR VIDEO (iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut doesn't matter)
    b. Do not alter or move any folder named
    • iMovie Event's - or -
    • iMovie Project's
    on DeskTop/Finder - at all
    All moving's of Events and Projects must be done within the iMovie Application - then connections will not break.
    (move them back and see if iMovie remembers them - then do move as described above)

  • How to display an "All Day Event" date correctly in an integrated SSRS Report?

    I have two event items in a calendar list in SharePoint 2010. Both items have the same start time and end time. One of them, however, has the "All Day Event" checkbox checked. If I access them through a REST service, this is how the data is
    returned:
    <!-- item 1 -->
    <d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
    <d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:55:00</d:EndTime>
    <d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">false</d:AllDayEvent>
    <!-- item 2 -->
    <d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
    <d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:59:00</d:EndTime>
    <d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">true</d:AllDayEvent>
    I have a report in the same SharePoint 2010 site that uses SSRS in integrated mode. The data source is the calendar list mentioned above.  The date fields are not formatted, just displayed as them come from the list/database.
    My locale is set to en-US. When I run the report, the start date for item 1 is displayed as "3/21/2014" ('all day' set to false) but the start date for item 2 is displayed as "3/20/2014" which is incorrect ('all day' set to true).
    I did some research online and found out that SharePoint stores all date fields as UTC except for 'All Day Events', which are stored in local time (our servers are in Central Time, but I'm running the report fom Pacific Time, in the US).
    I coudn't find a solution to display the date correctly in the integrated SSRS report. Is there a way, maybe some straightforward formatting, to show All Day Event dates correctly? I tried adding hours but this is inconsistent with daylight saving hour changes.
    I would appreciate any help.
    C#, Sharepoint

    Hi SharpBud,
    The date for all day event stored in SQL in GMT time, the start time for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
    This is a confirmed issue, as a workaround, I would suggest you to use a calculate column for the event for the column, using the following format:
    IF(TEXT(([End Time]-[Start Time])-TRUNC(([End Time]-[Start Time]),0),"0.000000000")="0.999305556",IF([Start Time]=ROUND([Start Time],0),[Start Time],DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start
    Time]),DAY([Start Time])+1)),[Start Time])
    Thanks,

  • How to filter the Event Data from the EventHub when consuming data?

    We know the EventHub has the filter function. I'm designing a new solution for a customer and it looks like EventHubs are great for sending and receiving our near-realtime
    data. Downside is when receiving the data, we receive all data of all our devices in the world. Most of the time, our clients only want to see data of one (or a few) device. We could of course filter the data by ourselves, client side, but
    this would cost a lot of bandwith.
    From the
    FeedBack, it said Filters will be tied to Consumer Groups. And I Check the Consumer Group Class, it has the Create Time and Update Time, but it
    has no set Function,
    So how to use the Consumer Group to filter Event Data during the Receiving data?
    Because in our solution, we use the EventHubHost to consume data, if our service bus worker role restart, we will receive all data in the EventHub, but we only want
    to receive the latest data,
    If we use the EventHubHost to consume data, can we also to filter data? If yes, how to do?
    Thanks very much!

    Yes right,
    AFAIK there isn't a filter feature for Event Hub. The only way to have now is to put a specific property inside your EventData that consumer group can check to filter if it is interested in the data or not.

  • HT201401 I can't add a contact or edit contacts the little + sign is no longer on my phone...same thing on my iCalendar.  I can no longer add events or dates.  how do I fix this?

    I can't add a contact or edit contacts the little + sign is no longer on my phone...same thing on my iCalendar.  I can no longer add events or dates.  how do I fix this?

    Reset your phone, hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. If that doesnt fix it then you need to restore your phone in itunes, Connect to itunes, right click on your phones name to the left, then click restore from backup. That providing you have backed up your phone recently.

  • In the iMovie 11 event library, how can I get the iPhoto video clips to combine with my camcorder pics listed below and in chronological order?

    In the iMovie 11 event library, how can I get the iPhoto video clips to combine with my camcorder pics listed below and in chronological order?

    Try forcing iPhoto to load the Library on the External Hard drive by launching it while holding down the Option key. Choose the Library on the External HD, and quit iPhoto, see if iMovie can see the Library with the iPhoto Videos contained inside.

  • How to use event structure of event data nodes event filter nodes in programming

    hi,
    I need manual of how to use 'event structure' events of 'event data nodes' and 'event data filters'...please help me....
    Regards
    Ravindranath

    I'm not really sure what you are looking for here.  Did you do a search in the LabVIEW help for Event Structure?
    The Event Data Node just returns information about the event, like control data, control reference, what caused the event, etc.
    The Event Data Filters are just used in Filter Events.  This allows you to discard an event or change the data that the event will recieve.

  • Where has the date gone from iMovie 11 events?

    In iMovie 08 the date of the event is shown in the Event Library pane, in small text underneath the name of the event. But in iMovie 11 the date isn't shown. Is there a way to show it like in iMovie 08?
    This is a real pain. I've just imported a years worth of video from my camera, and split days into events. The problem is all the events have the same name (todays date). Is there a way to import video and for the events to be automatically titled with the date the video was taken?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Sorry there has been a misunderstanding.
    When importing video into iMovie one of the options is to split days into seperate events. This is what I've done and iMovie has split my movie clips into 157 seperate days, which is great. But in the left hand panel, called 'Event Library' all my 157 events have the same name which isn't great and worse in iMovie 11 the date of the event isn't displayed under the events name (in iMovie 08 it didn't matter too much that my events all had the same name, because the date of the event / clip was displayed under the events name).
    My questions are:
    - is it possible in iMovie 11 to display the date underneath the events name in the Event Library panel (like in iMovie 08)?
    - is it possible to import video and split days into separate events and for the events to be automatically named with the date of the day they were taken?
    Thanks for any help

  • How to consume ETW events data in C#

    Hi,
    I am using Microsoft.BizTalk.CAT.BestPractices.Framework for tracing data in Custom Pipeline Components, Maps and Orchestrations.
    I want to capture events data in Real-time by using C# code.
    Can someone help how can i capture events data in c#?
    Thanks,
    Shahzad

    Hi Shahzad,
    When you use the Microsoft BizTalk CAT Teams logging framework for instrumenting your BizTalk solution then
    it will write events to the Windows ETW sub system. You need to write a component,lets call it as a monitor that will capture these events and write to database. There is an excellent project in codeplex titled 'Testing inside BizTalk using ETW Tracing'.See
    here .
    It is basically a console app that detect events published to ETW by the BizTalk logging framework and then
    publish them onto an MSMQ queue .See the source code for this project and you can implement the same in your C# component.
