IMovie 13 Movie Disappeared

I was working on a project in iMovie, when suddenly my computer froze and wouldn't do anything until I powered it down manually. When I went back to iMovie, the movie I had been working on had disappeared. (All of the raw footage was still there however.) I used the 'Show Package Contents' option in the finder to look through my iMovie library, and found that there still is a folder for the movie file I was working on with a single file inside it marked 'CurrentVersion.imovieevent' so it seems to still exist in some sense. Is there any way I can restore it to iMovie so that I can keep working on it? Thanks.

I should probably clerify that by 'iMovie 13', I really mean version 10.0.2.

I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

So, I rented a movie on iTunes and downloaded, and then when I went to click on it, it said iTunes server not available, so I reset my laptop, and it was there but when I clicked on it it said the same error again, the movie disappeared. What do I do?

I need help! I payed for this movie, and I don't know why it said can not connect to iTunes server, because this is not my first time watching a rented iTunes movie, and I usually do not need internet, or the need to connect to iTunes store, and the fact that the movie diappeared upsets me.. and it is nowhere in my iTunes library. So, what happened, I clicked on the movie, it said cannot connect to iTunes sever, so exited out, and reset my computer, when it reloaded, I clicked on it again, and the same error message appeared, and then the movie disappeared.

Hi runner_girl7585,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you weren't ever able to watch your rental movie, you can report this to the iTunes Store:

Movies disappear from iPod when syncing with iTunes

I have an odd problem. I have some movies that I converted for iPod using iSquint. They play fine in iTunes and will play fine on iPod when dragged to my iPod manually. However, as soon as I change to automatic syncing the movies disappear upon the first sync. Any ideas?

Figured it all out. Somehow my video sync settings were reset in iPod preferences. Set it to sync all videos and voila - all of them converted using iSquint worked like a charm. The new instant handbrake works well too. And as a side note - movies look just fine on my tv via iPod! I'm very pleased.

HT1657 Rental movie disappears from PC after transfer and never shows up on iPad

Article says I can transfer movie rental from my PC to my iPad (1) and that it can only exist ion device at a time. I transferred the movie, it disappeared from my PC (in Rentals catregory), but never showed up on my iPad. What now?

Thanks for replying. I tried your solution also but it didn't help. Apple gave me a 2.99 credit to my account and told me to download it again. Next time I'll download it on the device I want to watch it on, so I won't have to worry about transferring it. Apple needs to make this whole process more user friendly. I am far, far from a novice, but I am a Windows guy, not a MAC guy. Even so, I felt like a novice user having to hunt and peck just to be able to try and transfer the movie. Once I did it, and I probably could not duplicate what I did because it was just luck, the movie disappeared. I was surprised they came back with a credit so quick. Thanks again.

You will need to try contacting iTunes support and explain and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then probably Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Captivate movie disappeared

I was editing my Captivate movie and it disappeared as I was
working on it. I thought it was rather strange so I re-opened the
Captivate program and I opened the file I was working on when the
program crashed. I received an error telling me that the file
closed incorrectly the last time and would I like to repair it. I
clicked on yes and nothing happened. I tried opening the file again
and it shows the progress bar but does nothing else. When I look at
the saved file, the size is still the same, however, the captivate
program says there are 0 slides. The slides still seem to be there
though as I open a blank movie and import the movie and the movie
shows in the directory. When I click on it the slides open up and I
can see all 51 slides so I select All and click on Import but
nothing happens. This is very strange as I can see the slides but I
can't use them. Somebody Please Help.

I just experienced a very similar issue - my saved movie
"disappeared" after I published it. The title is there, size shows
as it was with all 80 slides, but when I open it, it shows just one
slide, blank.... Did you figure out what happened and how to
resolve it?..
This is very alarming, especially that it seems like this
error happens more than just once, although I had no problems with
my previous 20+ movies... This was the first one I made with audio
voice recording though.
Can anyone help?..

Rented movie disappeared

My rented movie disappeared from my ipad before watching, and now I cannot find it in iTunes either? Can anyone help?

I have had this problem but this is how I sorted it out: on your computer search the name of the film you have rented. When you see it, double click it and it should appear back in your iTunes library.

Movie disappeared from iPad? Help!

I put Les Miserables on my iPad yesterday and this morning I was playing around and I pressed the stop button. All of a sudden the whole movie disappears (deletes?) and I am no longer able to play it because it says I have no videos. I tried redownloading it from the itunes on my ipad, but it says I don't have enough local storage and so I tried syncing it back on to my ipad from the computer and it says that it couldn't be synced (I'm guessing it's because of storage.) So I went and checked my storage and it says I have 8.8 GB used, which confuses me because that was the amount I had with the movie on my ipad. Please help!

Did you try rebooting your iPad and then see if you can sync it back or download it again? Maybe if you reboot the iPad that will correct the storage reading internally.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
One other thought .... When you are connected to iTunes .... Do you see a large amount of space being taken up by "Other" in the capacity bar at the bottom of the iTumes window?

You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

After updating Apple TV to iOS 5.1, the option to purchase movies disappeared

Since september, 24, hours after I updated to iOS 5.1, the option to purchase movies disappeared from the system. It happened to all the countries in south america as far as I have tried changing stores within my Apple TV. The issue was recurrent with the late iOS as well, but changing the store to the United States and changing it back to Brazil seemed to solve the problem, and the option to buy movies would simply reappear. But now this solution isn't working anymore. When I change stores to the United States the option to purchase movies is there. When I change it back to Brazil, though, it disappears again. Anyone having the same problem?

After more than a month, the issue persists. I sent an email to Tim Cook reporting this. The day after I sent it, some one contacted me from Apple and said Apple's engineers would take a look at it. The person informed she would call back with more information about the problem. She called back the subsequently 3 weeks. Every time to inform that they were still looking into it. At one time, she said they could not reproduce the issue, and actually mentioned they could see the purchase option, which I know isn't possible, considering they did pay attention to the context of this particualr issue. The last time this person called, I just didn't want to deal with it anymore, it was the third week in a row the person was calling to say the same thing. I'm really fed up with it. I even bothered to make a movie reproducing the problem and uploaded it to YouTube, than sent the link to the person, so she could show it to whomever is responsible for fixing this. I thought it would solve the problem, since the person informed they couldn't see it. It has been more than one week since I sent it, and the person called again to inform they received the email with the link to the video. But I really don't think anyone watched it. I kept the video off the searchabel option on YouTube, so it can only be watched by people who receive the link to it. And the number of times it has been watched is very small, approximately the number of times I visited it. I am under the impression this isn't a defect at all. I have reasons to believe this might be deliberately happening. USA, UK and Australia still have the options to buy movies on the Apple TV's iOS. There is no problem at all with our Apple TV's or their servers. They just locked us out. It is just a shame, because now I am sure they are aware of te problem and just don't really wanna do something about it. I mean, how hard can it be for Apple to fix such a strange and suspiciously selective problem?! It is also a shame the fact that they make us waste so much time! Really disappointing. Don't even bother trying to contact iTunes Support, they tried to convince me it is a problem with the harware. And as you might have read two posts above, they tried to convince geoffreyy it has something to do with licensing agreements limitations to some countries, which is not true. You can still purchase the same movies using the iTunes Store on a Mac, iPhone or iPad. It just disappeared from the Apple TV. If you buy a movie using, let's say, your iPad, it will be availabel to watch on the Apple TV through iTunes in the cloud, under the purcahsed section of the movies section on your Apple TV. This and other things that Apple has been doing lately to secondary markets all around the world is what makes me feel really ****** about Apple. They just don't care...

Attempted to download a movie and movie disappears from library.

Attempted to download a movie, looks complete, but unable to sync to iPod... restart iTunes and movie disappears from library. No files in media folder and iTunes store thinks that it has been downloaded already. Worked with iTunes account people who were very responsive, but after multiple resends on their side, the problem continues and they suggest a local problem on my side. Thoughts?

Hey Jerry... I ended up submitting a formal feedback issue and someone got back to me fairly quickly. Responses are typically from an offshore team I assume, since they happen at night. The email address that I have been corresponding with is [email protected] . I'll keep this string posted if I make any progress... Good luck!

Using Quicktime for subtitltes in iMovie movie

I made a movie in iMovie and want to put subtitles it in. I bought QuickTime7 Pro as was recommended and installed it on my hardrive. Created a .txt file in Word and opened it with QuickTime. Now, how do I get it into my iMovie movie?

There is an easier way to create subtitles for movies. Try using MovCaptioner. It keeps repeating a few seconds of the movie so you can get what they're saying, while you type it, and when you hit the return key it goes on to the next few seconds. When you're all done setting subtitles, just click a button and it adds the subtitles to the movie for you. It will also create a transcript of all the subtitles as well.
