Imovie 4 error message -37/ won't accept certain quicktime videos

hello:
i ripped a few dvds containing old home movies (which were transferred from vhs) and ended up with lots of smaller quicktime videos ranging from 5 to 8 minutes. i am able to import most of those into imovie but it won't allow me to do certain ones. i get a -37 message which reads "error during import, this file cannot be imported".
does anyone know how i can get all of my little videos into imovie?
thanks,
georgia

Code: -37
Error: bdNamErr
Description: Bad file name (File System Error)
Rename the file(s). The most likely cause is the use of slash / in the file name.

I can't unlock the screen to access my macbook pro. When I enter the password it just jiggles. I'm not getting an error message, so I'm pretty certain that the password is correct. Any suggestions?

I already checked that one.
I'm baffled, especially since it will usually give you the Invalid user name or password entered message. I'm not getting that. Instead the password field just jiggles back and forth. Very odd.

I have STILL NOT received an answer to my question as of this date. I am VERY disappointed in Firefox support.

How do I unfreeze my ical? ical has an error message that won't go away even if I force quit.

Wondering how to get my ical running again? I have an error message that won't close and ical is unavailable. Error just says the server responded with an error. Happened after I cut and pasted a note into a reminder by accident...

Mine started doing this yesterday after attempting to install the most recent security update (im running Tiger OS 10.4.)
Took a while for me to remedy it but I found that by starting up from the CD that comes with the macbook (by holding 'c' as you switch on) and doing an Archive and Install (took 2 attempts as the first failed) it is working fine again. Installed the update by dragging it from the trash and clicking it and the Macbook seems good again.

IMovie 10.0.6 won't save my imported videos (from DV camcorder)

I am using this version of iMovie for the first time (I finally gave in and let 9 go), so maybe I'm missing something. I am trying to import some VHS tapes and I'm using a miniDV camcorder to convert to digital, something I've done a bunch in previous versions with no problems. The camcorder is connected with firewire to my MacBook. So in iMovie I click "Import". Here I can see and hear the tape when it plays. There is a message that says "Camera Not Controllable", which is expected. I click the blue import button down in the corner and the message changes to "Recording" with a counter for the time. All seems great. When I'm done I click "Stop Import", then "Close" and I'm taken back to the main iMovie window with the events list. But in the only event, where it should have been saving the video, there is nothing. I've tried this a bunch of times and created a new iMovie library on an external drive but nothing works. It never actually seems to save any video.
Am I doing something wrong? This is really frustrating!
Thanks,
Sean

I have exact same problem.
iMovie 10.0.6 won't save my imported videos (from DV Digital Video Camera JVC GR-D290E).
I have iMac 27" (end 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2).
I tried to reinstall the previous version of iMovie 9. But the OS can not do it.
Note: At the other my MacBook4.1 (OS 10.5.8, iMovie 8.0.6) same operations are functioning normally.
What to do?

IMovie error message "The operation could not be completed"

I am trying to create a new movie and got this error message " The operation could not be completed" after selecting the Themes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

My problem was because I had moved my Movies folder from the system drive (which is an SSD) over to another drive with a larger capacity. I then created an Alias in my home folder. Turns out this is what was causing the problem. I shoulda known. Some apps absolutely hate this. iMovie, being the dumbed down garbage that it is, simply MUST have it's library in a certain folder, apparently. Would be nice if we had a choice about it.
I find Premiere Elements is actually the better (and friendlier) program. However in this case, I had to slum it with iMovie due to the Quicktime file I was working with.

HELP PLEASE! iMovie error message "_Sync_" couldn't be removed.

HELP PLEASE! I had to force shutdown my computer and now my iMovie Library won't open. I just get this error message: "_Sync_" couldn't be removed.
I was working on a movie within in iMovie and my computer was running really slow so I decided to shut it down for a little while. It wouldn't shut down and went to the gray shutdown screen and stayed there for a while so I held down the power button to force the shutdown. Now when i reopened iMovie my library that i created on an external harddrive won't open.
I can see the folders for the movies on my external harddrive but I dont even know how to open them separately from the program. The ".imovieevent" files won't even give me the option to open them or import them into iMovie.

Were you able to fix this? I have the same message now.

TS3297 When I go to the iTunes store, all I get is a black screen. No error message, just won't open. I have tried going to iTunes on another device and it works fine. Help!

When I go to the iTunes store, it won't open. I don't receive an error message of any kind, just a blank black screen. I have tried to access the store on other devices in my home and it works. All my music shows up in my library, but nothing will show up when I go to the actual store. I have updated my software and made sure the date/time are correct. Everything else seems to be working fine on my computer. Not sure what is going on, but would really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!

I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment. Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT. I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.
I'm spending a lot of time of research for WINDOW'S iTUNE with no solutions....

I cannot update IPhoto or IMovie. I have the latest OS. I cannot use these Apps either- they both ask me to update to the newest version, but when I try to I get an error message saying that the App store could not complete my request and to please try again later (null). Any ideas??

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ appstore.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List

I am getting a runtime error message that won't allow itunes to open when I plug in my ipod. Any suggestions?? I already rebooted my computer. It worked fine yesterday.

I am getting a run time error message that I've never seen before, it won't allow me to connect my ipod touch with windows. It says: An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
I have no idea what this means but it was working fine yesterday when I connected it.
I have rebooted my computer and nothing has been fixed.

Did you do this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

do a search on your hdd for quicktime and itunes files and delete them all manualy - also find out what files are installed that won't show on a "itunes" or "quicktime" search and delete them too
then open Regedit and search for iTunes and Quicktime and delete what you find.
restart and install iTunes again...
after a wierd error i tryed reinstalling itunes and got the same error. i did what i just said and all worked again
