IMovie 4 will not re-install from DVD

iMovie will not mount, so I tried to re-install with my DVD disc. It runs the check, then tells me that " iLife cannot be installed on this computer because one or more iLife apps. is currently running." I made sure all apps were indeed closed, rebooted, got the same message. Please help! I have a huge amount of clips I need to upload and am dead in the water!

  • IMovie will not import video from DVD

    I transferred a VHS tape to a DVD using my Panasonic DVD recorder. I finalized the disk and then attempted to import the disk to iMovie in order to edit it.
    I could not get the video to import. I get the following message: "You selected a directory to import, but no importable movies were found inside. Please select another directory or file."
    The files in the DVD folder end in VOB.
    With some wrangling, I can get the disk to play on the DVD Player, but I cannot get it to play every time.
    When I click on the movie file in the DVD folder DVD Player says the media type is not supported.
    How can I import this?

    See my post here.

  • Will not boot up from DVD drive

    HP pavilion slimline s3200n will recognize the DVD drive but it will not boot up from the drive

    Hi,
    Try hitting the escape button from boot up. It normally gives you the boot options where you can select the DVD drive.
    If you can't get into the boot options, try getting into the bios with F10 and change boot order options.

  • I want to wipe iBook of it's content, but it will not boot up from DVD

    Can someone tell me how I clear off the content of iBook and install the basic set of the applications? I have the original OS 9 disks but they will not boot up with these. I have gradually upgraded the OS so I don't have disks to match 10.4.11.
    I want to give this away, as I bought new MacBook Pro recently and I have all of the files on the new computer, (and on another hard drive).
    Thank you for any help from out there.

    No problem; I usually answer good questions already solved. (It's for the search engine.) Here's how to wipe a corporate or government ATA hard drive.
    Should you be concerned about spies, industrial and foreign, or even you own personal information, there is a standard method of erasing ATA disks that contain government classified information. Most ATA disks have it built in (and is a concern when purchasing computers for classified research). It's extreme, but sometimes necessary: information otherwise remains stored on 'bad' blocks, &c.
    At one time, only the DOS program HDDerase activated the secure erase in ROM. For Mac users, the Linux program 'hdparm' (which has other uses) will do this from a Live Linux distribution on CD (unless you can boot a USB Flash Drive).'Darwin' might have it.

    Note that, if you stop the process part way though, the disk may not be usable again (except to spies). Also, nothing is guaranteed.
    If Darwin doesn't have it, or if it doesn't work, LiveCD distributions, such as Mint, Berry, & those of major distributions can be found here:

  • BIOS will not recognize installed CD/DVDs

    System set up auto search does not recognize installed CD players or DVD RW on IDE 2 as being present. I have installed several different units that I know are working and set up passes by them like they are not present. I have checked and replaced all cables. CD unit are getting power and will light up, open and close but they do not show up during set up nor on Windows hardware listing. I have reset CMOS with no success.
    I have the most current version of BIOS for this M/B. This problem started recently when I tried to change my CD player.
    1.   Product Type:  645 Ultra (m-6547 V1.X) ATX Mainboard
    2.   BIOS Version. 3.31
    3.   External VGA Type: None
    4.   CPU Type:  P4 2.40 GHz
    5.   Memory Type: 1.00 GB
    6.   Power Supply Type:  A Power 400 watts
    7.   Operating System:  Windows XP Pro with SP2

    I connected a second hard drive on IDE 2 and the BIOS failed to recognize it. I also connectted a CD to IDE 1 along with my primary hard drive and the BIOS DID recognize both my hard drive and the CD but the system would not boot up under that configuration. I have uninstalled and re-installed the controller for IDE 2 and the system still will NOT recognize anything connected to the IDE 2. The only other thing I can think of is to reinstall the BIOS. Anybody have any other suggestions on how to deal with a non-functioning IDE 2?

  • My HP 1210xi will not re-install from disc or online, says unknown driver, what do I do

    My HP 1210xi quit scanning and when I went to online help I was told to re-install printer.,  Un-installed it and now it will not go on the computer at all, just says can't finish installing because of unknown driver.  So I went online, downloaded the software and driver on computer and it said the same thing.  I know the printer works because I can still copy.  Anyone have any suggestions, I can't afford a new printer as I am retired and on limited income. 

    Hey!
      Glad to hear that you and your family made it through relatively unscathed!  I think we all need to take better care of our wonderful planet, because I think we are upsetting Mother Nature! 
      I have the Windows Installer Clean-Up screen up and tried to upload a screen cap for you, but IE immediately shuts down every time I try.  So I'll have to transcribe the screen for you:
      I see the following:
    (All Users)
    (All Users) [1.2.0.10]
      Those are the top two lines.  The following lines after that are programs he has installed on the machine like Acrobat, Adobe, Autodesk Inventor, and such and they all have a name and program number in brackets.
      And I now again have the obligatory Apple programs installed and listed again:
    (All Users) Apple Application Support [1.5.1]
    (All Users) Apple Mobile Device Support [3.4.0.25]
    (All Users) Apple Software Update [2.1.2.120]
    (All Users) Bonjour [2.0.5.0]
      Please note that iTunes is NOT LISTED.
      Everything else 'appears' to be normal, I'd say.
    Take care, and I'll see you on the flipside!  According to my clock, it's 4:11am Thursday morning there!
    See ya!

  • PS CS5 Upgrade Will No Longer Install from DVD

    Due to a system issue, I had to uninstall everything, including PS.
    In trying to reinstall PS CS5 (Upgrade version) from the DVD, not all of the components are installing correctly.  Both the DVD and drive have been prioperly cleaned. 
    Any suggestions as to what to do?  i.e. does Adobe provide the ability to download this version, or.....????  Suggestions.

    Yes, you should be able to just download the trial and then use your registration-code.

  • HT1338 iMovie will not load photos from iPhoto, how do I fix this?

    I am using a brand new MacBook Pro, have read other comments about this problem but found no solution.  What's up with this issue?  I want to make a slide show using iMovie, like I've done dozens of times with my older macs, am having NO luck with this new iMovie.  Paid a lot of $ for this new computer, what's the deal Apple?

    I noticed you have a viewer plugin from that site. Could you check whether it is set to "click to play"? If so, you could try having it always activated.
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Musicnotes Viewer" and if it says "Ask to Activate", change it to "Always Activate". Then return to the site and reload to see whether it works.
    While you are on the Add-ons page... I noticed you have an extension named Media Watch that many users consider unwanted software or even a virus.
    On the Add-ons page, if you click Extensions in the left column, can you find Media Watch remove it?
    If the Remove button is missing, you probably need to remove some software using the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent additions to the top. This typically will reveal that a bundle of (undisclosed) programs was installed along with something you actually wanted. Remove as much as possible here.
    Then you can supplement your regular security software with the scanners/cleaners listed in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

  • I have produced DVD using iMovie, now want to download this back to iMovie, will not read DVD, have been told a piece of software available - any chance anybody knows what?

    have produced DVD using iMovie, now want to download this back to iMovie, will not read DVD, have been told a piece of software available - any chance anybody knows what?

    Handbrake is not ideal for this.
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • I've burnt a slideshow of my photos onto a DVD disc but it will not play on my DVD player. It plays ok on my acer laptop. I burnt the same disc with slideshow from my old dell computer

    I've burnt a slideshow of my photos on my Apple Mac to a DVD+REW disc but it will not play on my DVD player or on a combined DVD/TV. However it will play on my wife's Acer laptop. I then erased the disc & burned another slideshow from my ancient Dell computer onto the same disc &it played just fine on everything. So it seems the problem ids somewhere in the Apple Mac process. Any ideas?

    Roxio Toast and iSky DVD Creator
    Mac's used to be supplied with iDVD authoring software but Apple discontinued it in 2011.
    Thanks for that.  Will need to check iSkysoft out.  I am in the process of looking for a VisualHub replacement/backup.  Especially when it comes to ease of use.  Toast is ok.  Just looking for something along the lines of VH. 

  • I made a movie on iMovie and went to burn to DVD and of course I could not...contacted Apple and they said to download an app to help solve this problem...i did..so I could finally burn a DVD, but it will not play on my DVD player...HELP!!!

    I made a movie on IMovie and went to burn it to a DVD ...I could not do this so I contacted Apple..they had me download an App and then I could make a DVD...but it will not play on my DVD player...does anyone know how I can solve this problem.. I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

    This is a known issue.  It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
    This article will help.  It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

  • I transferred photos from my camera to my computer and created a burn folder.  I recorded the burn folder on a DVD but it will not play on my DVD player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I transferred photos from my camera to  burn folder on my macbook Pro.  Made a DVD from the burn folder but it will not play on my DVD player.  What am I doing wrong?

    How did you do this burn? Did you use a program like iDVD?  A DVD player requires that the data on the DVD is recorded in the proper format: MPEG-2.  A program like iDVD will do this.  There are other programs available that can do the proper coding (Roxio 'Toast' for example), but iDVD has the most features and is easy to use.  It is no longer available from Apple, but if you search on Amazon, you can find 'iLife 11', a suite of programs including iDVD.  It will function properly on Apple's current operating system, but it cannot make a High-Definition (Blue-Ray) presentation.  It is Standard Definition only, as are all regular DVD's. One good way to present photos on a TV is to make a slidesow in iPhoto, then export that slideshow to iDVD, where it will be properly formatted for a DVD player.  Or, iDVD can make its own slideshow of up to 99 photos.  HTH.

  • IMovie will not install

    FYI...
    When installing iLife '11, if Perian is installed, iMovie will not.

    I have Perian installed, and had no issues, for what it is worth. You definitely need the most current release of Perian.
