IMovie '11 won't let me detach audio after importing from iPhoto.

The option is gray in the menu. I selected the clip I wanted, but it's still not letting me proceed. Any thoughts?

You are not missing anythng. The way to do it is to select the clip and then go to the Advanced menu and select Extract Audio. That's exactly what you are doing.
If it is not working, then probably your iMovie preferences have become corrupted. I suggest that you try the oft recommended maintenance procedure of deleting preferences and then doing a permissions repair.
To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then repair permissions by using the Disk Utility app on your Mac, which is located in the Utilities folder. Click on Disk Utility and then select your hard drive icon located in the pane on the left side of the Disk Utilty window. Then click on repair permissions and wait 3-4 minutes for the permissions to be repaired. Then relaunch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted.
Make sure that you have sufficient disk space for iMovie to operate: 20 GB is often recomended on this site.
Make sure that all iLife programs are updated to current.
Hopefully that will solve your problem.

I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

Imovie '11 won't let me share a specific project it says "quit imovie and reopen" how do i fix this and share the project?

imovie '11 won't let me share a specific project that is no different from all the other projects. Every time I try to share or export the project it says "quit imovie and reopen" this can't be a memory problem because I have a lot of memory left and it allows me to export other projects but just not this one. How do i fix this and share the project ASAP?

My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto.

Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto. This also does not work on my garageband for itunes music. I have tried backing my itunes media and rebuilding but it has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

Note that you have to actually run the update - where you get the window where you have the choices to "Update" or "Restore" your iPod (you'll of course want to "Update"). It sounds to me like you downloaded the updater but did not actually run it to update your iPod.
Hope this helps.

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

Karsten, I mentioned "IPHOTO to IMOVIE" photo transfer.
In fact, you did not.
We had NO idea if it was a photo or a pocket-camera movie you were trying to import from iPhoto.
You also didn't describe what happens when you try to import.

this just started happening when i updated to "IMOVIE 11"
OK, that's a bit more information.
iMovie was probably already running when you imported the pictures into iPhoto and wasn't aware of the last import.
Try to quit iMovie and iPhoto, then launch iMovie again. The last import should show up.
Please take a few seconds to proof read your posts and also make then easy to read (no large letters, no underlining, no double line breaks in the middle of a sentence etc).

All the photo i import from iphoto (JPEG) to imovie is blank.

Hello..!
I need some help..!
I using powermac G4 cube, i just upgrade to tiger n ilife 06, when i want to import my photo from iphoto to imovie all the image is blank. But i unclick the ken burn effect, i can import the photo i have image...!
Got someone know how to solve the problem..!
Thank..!

I appreciate all of your responses to my problem. There is no doubt that I have a lot to learn about Aperture. I guess the first thing I need to do is learn the correct process to import my existing photo events from iPhoto. When I conducted the import operation, I imported by selecting my individual events from iPhoto browser. Is my problem the result of incorrectly importing from iPhoto? Where can I find the appropriate import steps into Aperture from iPhoto?
Several of you recommended that I may need to execute a repair against my iPhoto library. How do I run the repairs on the iPhoto library?
I am confused as to why every single photo is duplicated with one version being the original and the other as an edited version. I am confused since I have not attempted to edit all of my photos within iPhoto. Granted I have edited a few photos, but no way every single one. More than likely I am importing the photos incorrectly from iPhoto. I may try to import from my photo cards rather than attempting to copy from iPhoto. Perhaps iPhoto automatically sends two copies of the same photo to Aperture as a default???

What installer software package files? Could you tell me how to get there?
Afraid I'm not a mind reader. You have to download the installer packages from whatever source provides those installer packages. For instance, you would download the DivX installer package file from DivX. The Perian codec installer package would found at the Perian web site. QT "Pro" codec components installers may be include with older Motion or FCP Suite software or from the Apple site, etc., etc., etc. At this point all I know for sure is that that you have part of the DivX package installed and should reinstall the entire package if you plan to use it for anything.
Everyone's codec component configuration may be different depending on what codecs the need to use. Perhaps it would be easier if I provide an image showing the codec components installed on my Snow Leopard configured laptop:
This is a very basic set-up since I do most of my video work on my iMac which has FCP installed on it. In this case you can see:
a) AC3MovieImport.component (Apple)
b) AppleIntermediaCodec.component (Apple)
c) AppleMPEG2Codec.component (Apple)
d) Elgato Turbo.component (Elgato)
e) EyeTV MPEG Support.component (Elgato)
f) Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component (Telestream)
g) Flip4Mac WMV Export.component (Telestream)
h) Flip4Mac WMV Import.component (Telestream)
i) Perian.component (Perian)
j) x264Encoder.component (MacUpdate)
The first three codecs were installed by my System Installer w/iMovie package (i.e., pre-installed on system when purchased or added afterwards by iMovie). The Elgato codec installers came with with my Turbo H.264 and EyeTV hardware devices. (I you don't have such devices, then you don't needcan't use these codecs.) The WMV codecs were purchased from Telestream. The Perian codec was a free download from the Perian web site and is used for DivX, XviD, 3ivX, DTS, AC3, MKV, FLV, and other audio/video/file type support. (I.e., I don't use the DivX package.) The X.264 codec is a leftover from my old Leopard system and not really used much anymore since I now prefer using HandBrake GUI for most X.264 custom encodes.
At this point, would assume you need to rerun the Snow Leopard/iMovie Installer if you purchased the system with system pre-installed or purchased the it as a system upgrade. Another alternative would be to find another Snow Leopard OS platform and simply copy the missing Apple iMovie codecs from a working system to your non-working system. All other codecs are up to you. Only you know what third-party codecs were installed on your system. And if you don't remember, you will probably find out what you are missing every time you try to play a video containing an unsupported codec.
Since you seem to be very inexperienced here, you may wish to consider joining a local user group or seeking some one-on-one assistance from someone in your local area.

IMovie 08 won't let me add more to project

I was working on my project and after adding some pictures and a few video clips, any time I try to add another clip/picture, it won't let me. I've just been clicking and dragging the pictures from my desktop and importing my videos from iTunes. It let's me select the video/picture, but when I go to drag it in the media box for the iMovie, it doesn't stay. Is there a limit on videos that maybe I reached?? Thanks so much! =]

all the "untitled" additional calendars appeared the next time I opened iCal.

For some unknown reason, Itunes won't let me edit Audio info

So I recently synced 1891 songs to my iPhone 5. Whilst the process was completed successfully I noticed where in my itunes library all of the artists were organised accordingly. But suddenly, due to some kind of idiotic magic a lot of my music had missing information/wrong information. Oh well, this happens I thought placidly believing that all I had to do was fix the info myself. But lo and behold for some unknown reason Itunes won't let me edit any of the info of the music on my Iphone 5. Why? I don't know. But I know for a fact that none of the music is "Read-Only" because I check and I did the same process with the same files on a different computer. My new computer (currently using) is authorized and everything seems to be in order, I have no idea why this isn't working but some help would be appreciated. Please. I'm sick of having to read forum after forum after doing the simplest things on Itunes, please someone from Apple answer my question with efficiency, or create a less convulted program

Sounds like the ID3 tags are messed up on those songs.
iTunes imports using v2.2 tags. Convert the tags to v2.3 and try adding the artwork.
Right-click > convert ID3 tags
Also, make sure they are not read-only files.

Audio tracks are lost after importing from iMovie...

After importing my movie from iMovie I lost my audio tracks. What is the problem ?

Hello kropacd (and Karsten;)):
I realize at this late time that this will be a pain..but you might want to try to extract your audio prior to exporting (sharing) to iDVD to se if that helps...
The only other thing I can imagine is that you used 12-bit audio in your video instead of 16-bit? It really needs to be 16-bit-check the setting on your camera.
