IMovie at start load automatic the last project :-(

It is possible to make so that Imovie does not open in automatic the last project at start? It is annoying.
Thanks
PM G5 - DP 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thanks Mathew but when I choose the imovies it auto loads my last project. I can load a new one as you say but I have to wait until the previous project loads which can take an age. I just want to go straight into imove and choose between new or old. As you would any other program but maybe I am missing something

Firefox will not open on my computer the majority of the time. If I shut down and restart it will work sometimes, but not always. This started recently in the last two weeks. Today is June 12th 2011.

Well, unless you made a backup BEFORE you hit the restore button, your data is gone.

Newest update won't allow startup page to be blank, it loads to the last page Firefox was on, so how do I fix this?

Since the most recent update, every time I open Firefox, it loads to the last page I was on. I prefer a blank page to be loaded. I have this correctly marked in the options, and I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Is there a fix for this?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

Is there a way to turn off the function in Lion that re-opens the last project you worked on in a given program?

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

HT204384 I don't want my pictures to start loading automatically from my SD card. How to I stop the auto load to my computer?

When I put my SD card into my imac it automatically starts loading into an autoload program. I don't want this to happen. I want to be able to just open my card and drag my files where I want them to be.
I cannot figure out how to turn this feature off. Please help me with this.
Thanks

Just to cover all possibilities, open iPhoto > Preferences and make sure you have the same "no application" marked there:
And, make sure your Finder Preferences are set to show external disks on the desktop - that way, your card's icon on the desktop and you can do with the pictures as you wish.
@ Joe: did you edit your post? I swear that last sentence of yours wasn't there when I started typing........

Just imported clips and edited as new project. closed imovie. came back later and the entire project was gone. i was not done so i did not finalize it. how do i get the program to keep my project in progress

running imovie on a powermac w 10.6.8. went through the tutorials. imported my clips, got the hang of basic editing, and created a project.
was pretty happy with it, but needed to shut down and come back to work on it later. when i did come back, the entire project was gone.
how do i get the program to save my work in progress, without finalizing it?
thanks

So, everything worked out just fine!
I have all my material in the ProRes Codec on a seperate drive now. The project itself was kept or rather duplicated, the bin structure etc stayed the same but is linking to the newly created files. The playback and workflow is fluent. I am happy!
Time info: For about 120 GB of material the codec change process took 25 hours.
Thanks for your help!

My iPhone 4S will not update it will start and at the last hour it says error what can I do

Everytime I try and update my iPhone 4S to ios7 it will start to download and at the last hour it will say error update failed i have tried everyday for the last week

You either need to go somewhere with a MUCH stronger and faster WiFi signal or do the update using your computer and iTunes.
On my PC the download took 10 minutes,

When i delete an audio book from my computer it does not delete the book from my Iphone. it seems to be deleting the name from the computer but not the content. this has just started happening since the last itune progam updated. the result is i have

I record audio books from my library onto my old iPhone. I download the book from Overdrive to my computer. I connect the Iphone to the computer and transfer the audio-book to the iPhone. When I am done listening to the book i delete it from the iPhone by connecting it to the computer and doing a manual sync. this worked fine until the last i-tunes update on my computer. Now when the iPhone is connected and i tell the computer to delete a book it is only deleting the name of the book on the computer it is not deleting the book from the phone. The next time I connect the phone to the computer the program does not show the book in the phone but it is still in the phone. I have no more room on my phone to get any new books on it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

Whenever I open safari, it always loads to the last page I was at rather than my homepage. How can I fix it so that my homepage is what shows up?

My homepage is apple.com/startpage/ and when I open a new window, it is there as my home page, but when I open safari for the first time, it's the last site I was on. Can I change that so it's always apple?

As suggested by ricardofromloma linda quit Safari from Safari menu.
or when you launch Safari hold the shift key down.

Firefox will no longer start after downloading the last update

Yesterday (2/7/14) I downloaded the latest Firefox update. While the update was being installed I got a Parse error message. When I tried to restart Firefox nothing happened. I tried reinstalling Firefox (both with and without uninstalling the old version) and Firefox would start at the end of the installation process but after I closed Firefox it would not restart. I tried starting it in the safe mode but that didn't work. When I use the Task Manager Processes tab I see Firefox open for about a second and then it disappears.
I was finally able to get it to open by using Windows Explorer to set the compatibility mode of the Firefox.exe file to "Windows 2000" but I don't think that is a good solution.
Note that I am running the Windows XP Professional operating system.

Yes, I uninstalled Firefox, deleted the program folder, and then reinstalled Firefox. Firefox still would not start until I set the compatibility to Windows 2000.

Help ... how do you stop iMovie trying to re-open the same project

I would like to try some of the new features of iMovie for myself, though I guess it will be a waste of time seeing the other comments on this board (I really need to be able to edit video and audio and not just share), but at the moment I can't.
I tried to open a project file created in iMovie 06 HD but the iMovie 08 program crashed when attempting to open the project. However, the program now doggedly tries to open the project every time I start iMovie and with the same result, it falls over.
I have sent Apple a message but the chances of them responding are about zero in my experience. Anyone know how to stop this, I have tried the Esc key and other usual break sequences but iMovie 08 is nothing if not determined.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
Robbie

HI Robbie,
Have you tried moving the project out of iMovies Project folder?
The path is ~/Movies/iMovie Projects/project name
