Imovie 2011 +  lion problem

hello,
while working regularly with imovie with snow when I upgrate a lion I do not open and I throw the message resport. Do you know someone is to blame; Thank you ....

Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does try this basic troubleshooting fix:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • IMac 21.5" - 'Mid 2011' - Lion - Option key problem

    Hello, I just bought an IMac 21.5" - 'Mid 2011' - Lion. It's wireless.
    I'd like to start up the computer using an external HD. I know that I should hit the option key to present the choices.
    This does not work from rebooting, it only functions when I turn off the machine, wait 20 seconds & hit the 'turn on' button again.
    Also, I've noticed that if I go into the Apple Help menu & type 'Pram' nothing comes up. In an older MBP, also using Lion, I get a list of choices. I would also like to know if this normal behavior ?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    I wasn't talking about zapping the pram; your solution to the 1st part of the problem was perfect - thanks again.
    I was referring to the Apple Help system. I would like to know if it changed.
    In my MBP when I type 'pram' in the help area, I get a list of topics. In the new IMac, nothing comes up !

  • IMovie 09 has trouble importing large video files from my JVC HD-40. I am trying to edit files such as these in 09. What should I do? Would buying iMovie 2011 help? I am shooting AVCHD files instead of the other mpeg2 file format.

    Hi,
         I am new into the Apple Community. I have a camcorder known as the JVC GZ-HD40 US and I currently am trying to use iMovie 2009 to edit my movies. With my camcorder, I have the choice to use two different video formats: AVCHD or Mpeg2. All my videos are shot in the AVCHD (HD) file format. This camcorder also has a 120 G Hard Drive built into it. When I plug in the camcorder through USB to my MacPro, the Hard Drive of the camcorder shows up as a icon on the desktop. Many of my video clips are at least thirty minutes in length, inside the camcorder. When I try to import in iMovie my video files, it only imports around ten minutes of the video and skips to the end of the clip. I would greatly prefer to use my MacPro desktop to edit movies instead of my Windows 7 computer which seems to work fine. Is there a solution to this problem? Would the new iMovie 2011 application solve this problem? I also have the Final Cut Express to work with, and also, can't get it to work. What should I try doing?

    Hi all,
    I have the exact same problem. I've just been to Thailand with my girlfriend, and we recorded a lot of stuff with my brand new Sony HD camcorder. And whenever the we ran out of camcorder memory we just emptied everything onto my HP laptop using the supplied Sony software, which produced m2ts files. When we got home, I realized that my Mac Pro/iMovie09 was not able to import this format. What a huge disappointment! Especially considering the fact that I just bought my mac back in March (my first mac ever) only for video editing and music composing (no problems with music composing, however!).
    Well, I needed a solution, so last week I just bought the Voltaic HD converting software (35$), and it works great. No problems. Only thing is that my Mac Pro (quad intel core) had to work 24 hours a day for four straight days/nights in order to finish the converting job - resulting in 434 GB worth of mov-files. This is no problem as such, and the quality is great. BUT it seems rather stupid that this converting has to take place. If I use Sony Vegas on my PC, it works out of the box with my original m2ts-files. And I would really appreciate if Apple would implement a simple import function of m2ts-files in their software - one that would (if necessary) automatically convert the files to mov. Or even better: would work natively with the m2ts-files.
    Best,

  • I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to get rid of a small clip but it's not letting me do that.

    I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to delete a small highlighted clip and it won't let me no matter what I do! Rosemary

    First off....do NOT install MacKeeper!  It creates more problems than it prevents, and is a royal pain to get rid of once you realize this.
    What I would do, since it sounds like you don't want to reorganize your email filing by the use of Smart Mailboxes, is to simply use the search box at the top of the Mail window to find only the emails you want to delete....then select them all and delete them.  For example, if you wanted to delete all of the emails from [email protected], you would type that into your search box, which will filter your inbox to only show you emails from [email protected]  Then Select All, and delete them.  You haven't deleted any others....only those from that person.
    Then clear the search box to see the rest of your emails again. 
    Repeat this process to delete emails from other senders you no longer need.
    (Once you've selected them all, by the way, you can control-click one if you need to save it).

  • Mountain Lion problem with HD camera of the Macbook Air

    after upgrading to Lion Mountain (10.8 and also 10.8.1) I have a lot of problems with the web-cam on my macbook air (mid 2012), sometimes it's not recognized and tells me that there is no web-cam connected, it also happens to others?
    after the restart compiuter it's recognizes and works, but after a while i have the same problem again...

    Hi,
    I would try a PRAM reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Restart it holding down Apple/CMD ( or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.

  • Lion: problems with resume, reboot, move, delete ...

    Some of the Lion problems I've been having (on 2 laptops: an older "Pro" and a new "Air"):
              -can't delete some files without password;
              -can't move some files or folders, only copy;
              -opening a program by clicking a data file also opens other data files from previous uses (not necessarily the most recent use);
              -rebooting opens several programs, always the same ones with the same data files (not necessarily from the most recent uses);
              -opening Safari opens several tabs always with the same sites;
              -Safari's History is gone, except for 2011 items, and new items are not being recorded;
              -Keychain issues, often needing repair;
              -MobileMe syncing issues.
    Why and how do all of these things happen? How are they related to each other? Why should I have to tinker like this? And what would happen if I weren't geeky? (I've left my iMac on Snow Leopard, which is wonderful.)
    Things are coming under control, but I have pulled all sorts of information from a variety of Web sources, none of which I found all in one place; hence this compendium. The exact sequence of what I did is lost, and what factors were the ones which worked I do not know. (Very time-consuming …) Comments welcome!
    Should I just have re-installed Lion on the laptops?
    ====
    Permissions:
    A lot of these problems seem related to obscure permissions.
    Here is a Terminal command which clears all ACLs, at least in the "Home" folder.
              chmod -R -N ./*
    (But it generated this message on the MBPro:
    chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file abc.numbers: Operation not permitted
    chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file Commands: Invalid argument
    chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file Notification: Invalid argument
    chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file ubiquity.socket: Invalid argument
    chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file Saved Application State: Operation not permitted
    … partly perhaps because I had "locked" the abc.numbers file and the Saved Application State folder. I doubt if these things matter.)
    Reboot while holding Cmd-R: this is something like "re-install" mode; when it opens, instead of choosing one of the options presented, open Terminal from the Utilities menu, and type "resetpassword". A program opens but don't reset the passwords, but rather reset all of the permissions, including ACLs, using the button at the lower right. Close it, close Terminal, and the reboot normally.
    Safari:
    File menu, Empty Cache and Reset Safari
    Library (from Home folder, requires special steps to get to it in Lion, e.g. hold the Option key when at the Finder "Go" menu):
              Library/Preferences: moved then later deleted several plist files for offending programs, which I then had to reconfigure (e.g. Safari: reconfigure Toolbar, go through Safari Preferences …) -(they will all reappear instantly in some "default" state) -trying to delete the plist.lockfile as well caused problems - Trash wouldn't "empty" it ("in use"), but doesn't seem to matter.
              Library/Preferences, ByHost: see below
              Library/Saved States: see below
    ByHost:
    Some users opine to go to ByHost, close all apps, then "lock" (using the "Get Info" feature) the file com.apple.loginwindow{…}.plist. See this "discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17213577#17213577
    Saved States:
    Some users say to delete "Library/Saved Application State" files (folders) before doing the above (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17499355#17499355 and http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/13/turn-off-resume-the-definitive-solution/). Then "lock" the "Saved Application State" folder. There may be some problems getting it to stay locked(?).
    But I moved several  of the "Saved Application State" folders and I forget just what, but one computer seemed unhappy afterwards, the other fine. On the unhappy one, I replaced them (but not yet having locked the overall folder), and deleted some of the files inside the individual folders, like com.apple.TextEdit.savedState. (I suspect this paragraph is unimportant, but cannot be sure.)
    Sharing: remember that the settings under System Preferences, Sharing, also matter. (So do the settings under "Accounts and Users", Guests.)
    The "resume open applications feature" on reboot seems weird. If I say "no", I wonder if it wasn't bringing back all of the programs from some distant previous reboot.
    Make sure that under System Preference, General, the option to restore on restart is unchecked.
    I have learned that Disk Utility's "Repair Permissions" works for quite specific files and doesn't work for the Home folder.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
    Make sure that there aren't numerous "Login" items under System Preference, Users/Accounts.
    Changing permissions via the "Get Info" windows, and "applying to enclosed folders" can be a bad idea, especially if applied to something like the Home folder. Apparently it propagates ACLs too(?), although not visible there, and the effects can be undesirable.
    Some permissions on "Get Info" panes have two "everyone"s, and the one with "Custom" settings can not be changed nor deleted.
    Make sure all systems updates have been done (as usual).
    MobileMe sync issues are another story - seems to be settling - perhaps related to "Permissions" issues above …
    And what about Preferences, Caches? Anything there that would help with the above problems? What about the "root"(?) Library?
    Some of the above tasks can be accomplished by 3rd-party software, but I'm getting there without using anything other than native Mac OS X Lion tools.
    ====
    Anyway, as said, it's all settling down.
    Comments/corrections most welcome.

    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • OMG, my first real Lion problem: **SYS Flood

    I've run into my first Lion problem that I can't figure out, but maybe it's just a coincidence that it just started happening now, but I am getting these messages in my router security log:
    08/15/2011  19:13:09 **SYN Flood** 192.168.2.2, 55636->> 17.149.34.231, 5223 (from WAN Outbound)
    I am getting them from all devices hooked to the lan, i.e.. 2.2-2.x, and the IP listed is always mostly from an apple server! For example, in this case it's:
    Not sure what to do, as I can't find a setting in the router to stop checking for that, and if happens enough times, it clogs the router and I loose Internet connectivity. I am not running any torrent programs, but like I said it's issued across all devices on the Lan (even my lowly iPhone). Any ideas? thx!

    I have turned off options in the modem so it is not logged anymore.
    With further investigation I have found it occurs when the upload performance has dropped off. I seem to be get poor upload performance regularly, and I think there are dropped packets. If there is a dropped packet during the ack 3 way handshake, it would trigger a SYN Flood error.
    I don't know why the upload performance drops off.
    Perhaps someone on the same cable segment is running a file share server and taking all the bandwidth??

  • IMovie 2011 - cannot adjust music track points

    Hi there, I have started a new project and when I add a music track to accompany the video / photo montage, the audio appears as a green envelope around the images, and I cannot adjust start, or end points of the audio. I am used to seeing the audio appear as a small bar under the video / images, but this time it envelopes the entire video.
    I am using an external drive to save the project, and my music is on my internal drive, is that the reason? I have used non iTunes purchased music within iTunes.
    Any thoughts?

    This is exactly the problem I have but using iMovie 2011 on my laptop. This has only just started happening.

    William,
    It is a possibility that you are adding new events to your "On My Mac" calendars.
    "On My Mac" calendars will not sync with iCloud. After backing up the "On My Mac" calendars, and ensuring that all events are duplicated on your iCloud calendars you can delete any "On My Mac" calendars.
    For further troubleshooting advice read iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

  • How do I import video from canon zr 500 to iMovie 2011?

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance for your help. I am trying to import a video from a a Canon zr500 to iMovie 2011 for a college course assignment and the camcorder is not being recognized when plugged in via firewire. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions as to how I could accomplish this as cheaply as possible? I am new to using a Mac so please don't be too technical in explanations.
    Thank you,
    Ben

    Freezeframe-
    Either a Thumb Drive or an SD card in the Camera Connection Kit adapter should work.  However SFX is not a file type I'm familiar with.
    How about [Volume name]\DCIS\[filename].[mp4]?  The file name must be 8 characters plus suffix.  It needs to look like it would if it had been recorded in the camera.
    If that doesn't work, perhaps adding another folder will help.  A card from a Canon camera has another folder named "102___12".  That would make the path [Volume name]\DCIS\102___12\[filename].[mp4].
    The more common way to transfer videos to the iPad is using iTunes that had previously synced with it.  Select Movies under LIBRARY on the left side of the iTunes window.  Then you should be able to drag the video file into that window.  The video will be transfered the next time you sync.  This way, the file name is not critical, as long as it has the correct suffix.

    As far as I have ever seen reported DV or HDV data capture into Premiere Elements Capture Windows (any version) does not work unless the connection is firewire. And, there are occasions (especially with HDV capture firewire) the require that the capture firewire be done in HDVSplit and then the split clips imported into a Premiere Elements project via the typical Get Media/Add Media route.
    Which version of Premiere Elements allowed you to do a DV or HDV capture firewire in to its Capture Window using a USB connection? From what you wrote it gave me the impression that you were saying that you had.
    If you have followed the protocol for HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 (with correct project preset)
    http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b79-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2. html#WS2AF26FB5-4C63-4c46-9DB3-7249558F6528
    then you would need to explore the use of HDVSplit (firewire connection) and then import of the .m2t split clips from that process in to Premiere Elements 12 (Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets).
    http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm
    If both these Canon camera are miniDV camcorders, then you need a firewire connect to the data capture into Premiere Elements Capture Windows.
    Do you have access to a computer with a firewire port?
    Or
    Does your computer have what is referred to as a PCMCIA slot for use with a firewire card? Have you looked into the possibility? No sure if that will work for you.

  • When submitting a target survey I get back an error.... I think this may be a safari problem or mountain lion problem as I used to be able to submit surveys on their survey site.

    When submitting a target survey I get back an error.... I think this may be a safari problem or mountain lion problem as I used to be able to submit surveys on their survey site.  This problem occurs if I use my MacBook Pro or my iPad.  I want try  to win a 5000 gift card and can't win if I can't submit the survey.  It lets me fill out everything and only after I hit submit I receive an error.  Target says it's not their problem.  I curious to know if anyone else has tried and receive back an error after hitting the submit button.

    Thanks.....I'll try that the next time I get a new receipt from target.  My old receipts are older than 72 hours now so I can't try Firefox with them.  I appreciate the response and will certainly try this and post a reply if I was successful in submitting the target survey.

  • Defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip.

    I was faced with the legendary defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip. Heard about what Apple makes replacement chips for free. My friend a year ago made the change in the service center. Is this true now?

    Since Apple says that some copy protected DVD's will not function with Disk Sharing, you may need to "clone" the DVD, using the MBP, to a flash drive, and use the flash drive to perform the installation of the software.
    Another alternative is to download and install the Trial version from the Microsoft Office For Mac website, and then use the activation code provided with the DVD to activate the full version install of the trial.

  • Lost contacts when in use (not when synching). Is this a Lion problem?

    HI all
    I have recently updated to Lion OS. When I synched my phone last night all was well. This morning when I used my contacts, they were all there. Now all of a sudden they are ALL gone.
    Am I able to get these back-they are important ones!
    Is this a "Lion" problem? I am also noticing screen/app freezes.
    thanks

    Some of the contacts data is stored in the iPhone backup made when you backup with iTunes, but this is for limited purposes such as maintaining the recent call list and favorite contacts.  You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your Mac like Address Book or cloud service (i.e MobileMe, iCloud, Gmail)
    What you can do now to try to recover your contatacts.
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Restore the existing backup in iTunes:
       a. Disable automatic syncing on connection in iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable
       b. Connect phone
        c. Right-click the device tab on left side of iTunes window and select "Restore from backup."
