Imovie 8 project library thumbnails not showing up after import

I have imovie 8 on my mac at home and I edited some footage and then wanted to bring it into work. I copied all the necessary event libraries and project libraries and I'm having a problem viewing them in my imovie 8 at work.
I stored the Event library files on my external hard drive, since I don't have enough room on my internal drive, and copied over the project libraries into my imovie folder. After copying everything over I can see my event library raw data in imovies viewing pane. The project library file names are visible, but when I click on them to view I get a greyed out thumbnail with an exclamation point. It says "This media's files are currently not available"
Can anyone shed some light on this. I want to be able to edit the projects I created at home.
Thanks

All I've got is imovie 3, and i'm making a full-length dvd/video for a senior project... The project library file names are visible, but when I click on them to view I get a greyed out thumbnail with an exclamation point. It says "This media's files are currently not available"
This should be expected. Projects use absolute resource references, therefore, unless you "clone" the exact drive/path names between original project files and original resource files from the home computer and replicate it at work, you have "orphaned" your resource files.

  • Library shortcut not showing up after Connect to Office in SharePoint 2010

    I clicked "Connect to Office" in the library ribbon. The shortcut to the site showed up under Favorites in window's explore.  But the library is not showing up. 
    The browser is IE 9, 32 bit.
    any idea why the library shortcut not showing?

    Hi, 
    According to your description, after Connect to Office, The shortcut to library is not showing up under SharePoint Sites.
    I have met the same issue with you, and I solved the issue by the following:
    Delete SharePoint Sites under Favorites in window's explore and go to C:\Users\Your user account, delete the SharePoint Sites folder. 
    Go to  Connect to Office-> Click Manage SharePoint sites-> Delete all the library links.
    Go to  Connect to Office-> Click add to SharePoint sites again and check the result.
    If the shortcut to the site doesn’t show up under Favorites in  Windows explore, 
    go to C:\Users\Your user account, copy the SharePoint Sites folder, paste it into Favorites in Windows explore.

  • My imported backup html files from another computer do not show up after import

    I am currently transferring files from my macbook pro to a pc netbook. I already exported my firefox bookmarks via an external drive and accessed the html file on my new netbook. After importing the html on firefox on my new netbook, the bookmarks do not show up on my bookmark list.

    Please see this article on how to move your bookmarks and settings from one computer to another: [[Moving your Firefox bookmarks and settings]].
    Caution: Restoring bookmarks from a backup will overwrite your current set of bookmarks with the ones in the backup file.

  • Actions Not Showing Up After Import

    I imported a bunch of actions into Acrobat 11 (Creative Cloud version) from Acrobat 10 (the Version that came with CS6). They are not showing up in the Action Wizard panel, and the program will not let me reimport them because "The action has the same name as a previously imported action." Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    I was having a similar problem after upgrading to Acro XI and seem to have finally resolved it today. In my case, the problem was a corrupt batch sequence, which caused problems with anything imported after it.
    I was able to import several batch sequences using the same process Kapil did, but then no more would import. There was no error, but there was no confirmation message either and they didn't show up in the list under Tools > Action Wizard. Repeated attempts to add them resulted in the message Tickets On Sale reported, indicating something with that name already existed.
    When I looked in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Sequences, the sequences that I'd been unable to import were listed with file size of 0. I deleted them and, through trial and error, determined that one of the files was corrupt. Once the corrupt file displayed in the directory with 0 file size, no other sequences would import. After I deleted the corrupt file from the directory, I was able to import the other, valid sequences. BTW, I found it simpler to add them by double clicking on the .sequ file from Windows Explorer. By also having an Explorer window open to the above-mentioned path, I could immediately see whether the sequence was imported successfully.

  • Lightroom 3.3 not showing photos after import

    This is a new situation and I have not been able to find the solution in my research.  After I import photos from my memory card they do not show up in lightroom.  The screen is blank.  Please tell me how to correct this.  Thank you very much

    I think we need a bit more information...
    First, by "blank" do you mean a gray rectangle?  Or do you get a window with a '?' in it?   How are you importing, what settings, etc..  Add, Copy?
    If you get just gray rectangles for the images, the most common culprit has been a corrupted display profile.  You can test this by setting your monitor profile back to sRGB briefly and see if that fixes it.  If it does, you need to recalibrate your monitors.
    The other culprit we've seen is a corrupted preferences file.  Try deleting the LR preferences and see if that helps.  But I'd try the monitor profile first!
    Cheers!

  • Images not showing up after importing from catalog

    I've imported a lightroom 2 catalog into lightroom3. The path to the image is wrong so I right-click to 'reveal in finder' and since it can't find the file the dialog box asks me to locate it. When I locate the image, I choose it but nothing happens, i.e., not preview, the image doesn't show up, etc. Any ideas?

    I'm just noticing this tonight, too.  I had Lr3 scan for missing photos.  It identified 388 out of about 20,000.  In checking on that, I tried to reconnect one to the current path, but nothing happens.  The entry for that shot stays in the Missing Photographs group, and the "missing" icon remains on the thumbnail.

  • Help! iMovie 10.0.2 does not show my entire sound effects library

    I've been building an extensive iLife sound effects library to use for my videos and when I open the library in a wondow it shows all of my audio files. When I try to import sound files in iMovie 10.0.2 however, it only shows the standard audio files from apple, it does not show my own imported files. How do I get to my files in the new iMovie? I'm getting very frustrated, I need to get this project done quickly and I keep running into problems like this with this new updated version This is taking up too much of my time! Please help!

    No, I did not.
    Meanwhile I have found the reason for the projects disappear in my libraries! The problem is caused by using the dash "#" symbol in my project names.
    I have created another project with a dash in the name and the project also disappeared in iMovie with the same effect that the underlying data was still in die library.
    Apple should release a warning that some special characters are not allowed to be used in project names or better should solve this.
    Thanks for your help!

  • My library will not show up in Itunes after moving library

    I moved my library folder from my C drive (my primary drive) to my D drive because I was running out of space on my C drive. I did this through My Computer and not through iTunes. Then, my library does not show up in iTunes.
    I moved the folder back to my C drive and everything, but to no avail. I read the tutorial on the Apple website called "Moving your iTunes folder," and I read the first 1,000 or so posts and nothing really solved my problem. There were other posts that were sort of related, but my case differs in that I moved the folder back to the same place it was before and nothing showed up.
    This happened before, and I was able to fix it. I thought I did the same thing again, but apparently not, since it's still not showing up. I tried every imaginable thing. I looked at under preferences, advanced, and then made sure the iTunes music folder was the same as the one I had my files in. Still, nothing is showing up. I know where my files are and everything, but iTunes acts like no files were even imported.
    I have tried importing songs into iTunes, but it doesn't show up on iTunes, so that rules out importing my files again.
    Please help me. I really am at a loss of what to do. Thanks so much!

    hey.
    finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
    i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend.

  • New iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings)

    iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings). It apprently needs to be both viaible and turned on in Settings/General/Location Services in order for the app to discover previously taken video (Location Services correctly recognizes other apps of mine that utilize location-aware services).
    I think the following is related to and caused by this problem above: iMovie App for iPhone 4 is not recognizing video clips I have made, whether they're in Photo Album, or iPhone 4 native movies that have been throughout this process: [sync with iPhoto on Mac > save to to iPhoto album > sync album to iPhone 4].

    Just had this same problem. The solution is to turn Location Services on before launching iPhone iMovie.
    Yes, iMovie needing GPS coordinates is crazy, as is the error message that doesn't correctly explain the problem. Looks like a bit of a rush job.

  • Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder

    Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder. For example one of the three CD's form a triple album do not show in Finder. And therefore they do not get saved when I back up my Mac either. Any ideas?

    Consolidate ("organize") simply looks at everything you have in iTunes and copies them to the iTunes media folder location specified in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.  If you select to use the default settings iTunes will copy any files in its library in the correct location in the media folder.  Since you don't want the files in a different locaiton really but just want to deal with some stragglers don't do the full "move" in hte instructions below but make sure they are organized.
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165
    The files will be copied so you will need to find the originals abd once you are content the library is working you can get rid of them (I often archive them on an external drive, delete the originals, then play the files which is a sure test if you have a workable copy on the computer).
