IMovie acting flakey. Is there a workaround?

I am having trouble with iMovie. I can not drag clips from/to the timeline.
My system is completely up to date with the latest patches.
I checked my system profiler console.log. The following curious item is in the log:
iMovieHD[6284] CoreDragCreate error: -4960
Help!

CoreDragCreate error: -4960
That is an error from the System core. It's not an iMovie problem per se, rather it happens to be iMovie that makes the call to a System function.

    When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks... the first exported to iDVD ok, but the next one of 15 minutes balked for the same reason -- too long...)

    I wish I had a mac :-P 
    Sadly, this is Windows machine so I dont have a non-iOS version of iMovie.  I have 2 ideas left.  The first is xfering the project to my iPhone 4 and trying to export it there (if that works, awesome but geez apple the iPad 2 is way more powerful than the iphone 4.. youd think I wouldnt even have to attempt this).  The 2nd idea is to start at the end of my movie and delete clips and sounds backwards, trying to export each time to find whatever clip is causing the issue (when the movie was 5 minutes it mixed no probem, so I only need to go that far).
    Wish me luck? 
    Also, is anyone else besides me and the 5 dudes in the other threads having this issue??  Speak up, guys - Apple cant a fix a problem they dont know about.

  • In Pages 5.5.1 when I go to the Open menu I cannot get a preview of any of the files in the list using the spacebar, which I can do in every other application and finder. Is there a workaround?

    In all other applications and in the finder, if I select a document and press the spacebar I get a quickview preview of that file. It does not work in Pages when I choose Open and am given a list of files to select from. This was not the case in older versions of Pages. Is there a workaround, other than doing quickview in the Finder before going to Pages.

    On Yosemite, Pages documents that are in a package (folder) format are viewable with Quick Look in the Pages v5.5.1 file chooser. Pages documents that are in the Single File (compressed, renamed folder) format are viewable in diminished size with Quick Look. Other documents that can be opened in the version(s) of Pages on your Mac will also open properly in Quick Look from the file chooser.

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • MS Word 2010 product not compatible with Mozilla? Is there a workaround?

    I just purchased MS Office Home and Student 2010. I got an error message that says I do not have a compatible operating system. Is there a workaround if I only use Mozilla Firefox?

    This is apparently not a Firefox related problem. The MS Office 10 setup program doesn't see your computer as having a compatible version of Windows. If you are running Windows XP, you need to have service pack 3 installed. If you are running Vista, you need at least service pack 1.

  • 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will i have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects?

    Final Cut Pro X 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will I have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects? the only foreseeable solution is to begin any new projects on 10.2 or importing footage on 10.2 and starting form scratch--which is something i definitely don't want to do or have time to do. ANY advice, thoughts, or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
    Running 10.10.3 // MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) // 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 // 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Exactly the same problem with me.
    Some other threads advice to remove fonts, clean the caches, remove add ins but nothing works consistenty, for some it looks like it works, for me it failed.
    What I did not try yet, was to move the Render files out of the malicious library to trash.

  • How can I backup my iphone 4 using iTunes 9.1.1? Is there a workaround for this?

    How can I backup my iphone 4 using iTunes 9.1.1? Is there a workaround for this? I need to backup my phone for replacement but it tells me I need 10.1 or later. All software is up to date, Operating system is 10.4.11. Thanks!

    No sorry. You need to upgrade to v10.5 Leopard (minimum) in order to sync an iPhone 4.
    iPhone minimum requirements:
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    You can upgrade to Leopard if your Mac meets v10.5 requirements.
    Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5
    If your Mac is Intel, you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard if your Mac meets 10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications

  • FR Studio - Is there a workaround for the issue with referencing data from a grid with a different DB connection and different # of dimensions?

    Hi,
    I am trying to reference a column in a different grid with a different database connection. I did some research in the forums, and it seems like this is a known issue with FR Studio. The issue is that if the 2 different database connections have different # of dimensions, then the reference will throw an error.
    For example, what I'm trying to do is below:
    In grid2.column[A], I have the following formula:
    grid1.column[A]
    The result is an error.
    The ultimate goal is to have a basic variance formula in the grid between grid1 and grid2, which have different database connections with a different # of dimensions. Is there a workaround at all to this bug? The example of the basic formula is below:
    grid1.column[A] - grid2.column[A] 
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Tiffany

    Thanks for the detailed response Mike.
    The issue with trying it in Grid1 vs Grid2 is that Grid1's DB connection has more dimensions than Grid2's DB connection. I can't change the DB connection to a database with more dimensions because you have to be able to map all dimensions from the existing DB connection  (Grid1) to the new DB connection (Grid2). This isn't possible, so instead I have to map Grid2 (less dimensions) to Grid1 (more dimensions). It just ignores the extra dimensions from Grid1. Does that make sense?
    Thanks again for your responses. It's very much appreciated.

  • Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?

    Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?  i.e. will Apple loops follow the chord progression in a track?

    I found sort of a work around.  I still have Logic Pro 9.  It turns out that if you go into global tracks, analyze the chords then go back to logic pro x the chord progression is preserved.  So the information is preserved there just seems no way to create it in X.

  • Is there a workaround for websites that use "frames" when Safari does not support?

    Is there a workaround for a website that requires "frames" when Safari (5.0.6) does not support it?

    Has anyone found a work-around for this that works?
    No. Any attempt to use an unsupported network device with Time Machine will probably result in data loss, even if it seems to be working at first. If you take data protection seriously, you won't try.
    Is it possible to get Time Machine to use SMB to make the backups?
    No.

  • Is there a workaround fix for DV arriving over USB?

    I have a new JVC digital video camera, GZ-MC500, that records onto a 4GB Hitachi memory cartridge. What I didn't realize when I ordered it was that it outputs only with a RBG/S-vide cable or a USB video cable, and Final Cut Express won't accept data over a USB connection. I can see the drive on the desktop, and the files are SD-video, but I can't Import the files into FCE. I've tried playing the video through a converter that goes from RGB to Firewire, but that hasn't worked either - FCE doesn't find them. The videos are of excellent quality. Is there any way for me to access them?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi Ric,
    The Canopus ADVC-100 works fine with FCE. Here are a few tips -
    First, make sure you only connect or disconnect it from your Mac when both your Mac and the ADVC-100 are turned off. Make sure that your camera video-out is connected to the s-video port on the front of the ADVC-100. Ditto for the audio connections. Only DIP switch 2 (IRE level) should be in the ON position. Connect a FW cable from your Mac to the 6-pin FW port on the back of the ADVC-100.
    Second, once they are connected via FW, make sure the ADVC is turned on and actually in analog-in mode before you start FCE. I have often found the ADVC-100 resets this mode by itself after being turned off or idle for an extended time. (All you need to do is hit the silver button once or twice, depending on the current mode, in order to switch it into Analog-in mode.) If it is not in this mode, FCE will not detect the ADVC and will act as if there is no device connected. (Normally there is a warning message if FCE fails to find a camera or ADVC connected however if you turned off that message at some earlier time you would not see it again.)
    Third, you can use either the DV-NTSC or DV Converter easy setup in FCE. I have used both with my ADVC-100 and they both work.

  • HT1338 I need to bulk upload to Auctiva (auction software) but Java was disabled on my computer. I have 10.5.8 so does this mean that I can't use Java? If not, then is there a workaround to be able to use the bulk uploader from Auctiva?

    I need to bulk upload images from iPhoto to Auctiva (auction software) that will then be posted to eBay; however Java was disabled on my computer some time ago due to "known issues."  I have 10.5.8 so does this mean that I can't use Java? If not, then is there a workaround to be able to use the bulk uploader from Auctiva? As it stands now, I have to upload photos individually which is super time consuming.

    You can re-enable it for special purposes, opposite of disabling it...
    Disable Java in your Browser settings, not JavaScript.
