IMovie-cannot find movies on gallery.

After upgrading to ios6, iMovie projects (new and existing ones) are not synchronizing with movies that are in the gallery. When I try to search for that movies on iPad via iMovie, it appears an error. How can I solve this problem?

How many movies are listed on the device under Settings > General > About ? i.e. does that figure agree with what you think the number should be ?
Also have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Imovie cannot find songs in itunes

Imovie cannot find songs in itunes

You need to create a play list of songs that you would use for movies - mine is called Music for Movies. Then when you click on the music icon (the first box in the line of 5 in the grey bar across the lower third of the screen) and a drop down menu will appear showing all your play lists. Then simply drag and drop, but make sure that you hover over the video clip that you want to add the music to. If you don't the music will be added to the start of your presentation. You can always move the position afterwards. NOTE - if you want to add to your play list do it before you start your video editing as the list does not always update when I Movie.

Moved Itunes library now imovie cannot find the audio in my project

I just moved itunes library from my external drive to an internal drive on my Mac laptop. Now iMovie cannot find the music tracks for my project. How do I tell iMovie where to look for the new location of iTunes library

I'm the same as you with this one.
I had to move my itunes library to a new hard drive because it was taking up too much space. Now my imovie projects can't find my itunes library. One sound track when I right clicked in imovie I had the option to find media so I just located the same file but in a new location. This, however, doesn't work for all audio in my many projects.
I'm feeling very disheartened with the whole thing.
Any help would be appreciated.

IMovie cannot find my 13 files

I uploaded 13 segments of video I shot this weekend into iMovie under a title, but when I click the title, the folder is empty. iMovie erased the movies from my desktop so I can't get to them.
Where are they in iMovie?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem... and I have not moved any of my files. So the fact iTunes cannot find songs that it had previously played makes no sense to me.

IMovie - cannot find different themes as shown in ap store

My daughter has been wanting this ap forever. Finally she downloads it but she cannot find all the themes that it shows in the ap store description. We have gone under settings after creating a project, but can only find themese like CNN, travel, etc. Does anyone know how we can find these themesÉ

Yes it is compatible, but there is that rider at the bottom of the full description for the app, as I quoted above. It is very confusing!
The app I have on my iPhone doesn't have the full capability as the app for an iPad (Pad as distinct from Pod). For example, the iPad version has waveforms for the audio track. This enables editing of soundtracks, such as fades and volume adjustments within the track.
So, there are several "varieties" or "flavours" of iMovie for iOS, depending on which device you are using.

"Cannot find movie..." alert message

Everytime I open iphoto 6.06 I get an alert saying "cannot find such and such a movie." Whether I hit cancel or find movie I get the rainbow death wheel and have to force quit the application. My iphoto library is stored on an external networked drive, but I've had this trouble even when the library has been on my computer. Any ideas?

alhagar
You deleted them using the Finder right?
Well, unfortunately, no there isn't. You'll need to make a new library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.

If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

Cannot find movie in Imovie in any drive?

Movie plays well in Imovie but I can't find the specific file for it. I'm fairly certain that it's in a large folder on the external drive but when I copied it to the internal, and set the external folder in the trash, and tried to open it in Imovie it said it couldn't open it because it was in the trash.
I changed the name of the project from the name of the big folder to another name about 3/4 of the way through editing.

if you can get it open by any method, Save As... to another project.

IMovie cannot find the video files (external hard drive) but they are in the project?

As the integrated hard drive on my iMac is getting too small, I moved all my iPhoto files to an external hard drive.
I made a movie after this change and it worked perfect until I should finish the movie. Here I get the message the the media files are missing.
This is strange as I can watch the movie in the project in the iMovie library.
I cannot finish the move nor share it.
Can somebody help me?
My imovie is version 10.0.3 and I am running Maverick.
Thanks!
Steen

Can you give me the info I wasked for in the other thread?

Aperture (2.1.1.) - iWeb cannot find the Aperture Gallery in the web widget

Hi all,
I think this is not really related to MobileMe's current problems, as it shows alright on the web:
If I publish a Web Album to MM (and I think it was the same issue with .Mac but am not sure), everythings working fine upload wise.
Only if I want to include the Web Album in iWeb with the help of the Web-Widget tool, Aperture Web-Galleries do not show up.
iPhoto works fine, what's published to MM there shows up on the iWeb widget menu (if not password protected)
Does anyone experience the same? is that 'normal' or is there a work-around?
Cheers
Greg

The workaround for this is to turn your Aperture galleries ( ie, albums) into iPhoto galleries, at least temporarily. You can do this online, once you are logged into your actual .me account (http://www.me.com/gallery/#home). Select an album, choose the Settings button at the top of the page ( a button with "light switches" graphic on it ), change the "Syncs with:" option to iPhoto and Ok. Then launch iWeb and you should find the gallery listed there. Once you publish the site, you should be ok to set the album settings back to Aperture. +(Haven't double checked this yet ...)+
*Note 1:*
If you don't see the Syncs with option, then hold down the 'shift' key when you click on the Settings.
Then it will show.
*Note 2:*
Folks are confusing the web gallery albums that are showing up in the intra-app media browser (just images are accessed here) and the insert gallery menu item (entire gallery inserted). Easy mistake but they are different functions.

New iMovie cannot find iPhoto Pictures

Hello Community! After the update to the new iMovie, all pictures in my project mediathek are gone. He keeps telling me that he can't find the file path. In the old iMovie it still works. I imported the pictures from my iphoto mediathek. Any ideas ? All my projects are heavily damaged! :-(

If I were you, I would continue to edit existing projects in the old iMovie, and only use the new iMovie for creating new projects.
Events come over to the new iMovie really easily but lots of people are having problems bringing Projects over.

IMovie cannot find iPhoto

When I opened iMovie 6 this last time and I clicked on the "photo" tab within the "media" library there is nothing there. Usually there are my iPhoto libraries and a bunch of thumbnails. This time there is just a message that reads: "Open iPhoto2 or later or Aperture1.5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto or Aperture library in this list."
I have opened iPhoto and nothing happens. Nor can I drag photos from iPhoto to iMovie. I posted this question in the iMovie forum and I followed all the steps offered to me. Unfortunately the problem still exists and I am getting extremely frustrated. Is it possible it is a iPhoto problem instead?
Please help! I need this fixed for a Christmas present I have been planning all year! (I've been taking photos and movies of my nephew with plans of making a movie of his first year and now I am desperate!)

LucianF
This problem is often caused because the albumdata.xml file (in your iPhoto Library Folder) is not working correctly. This is the file the other apps read to integrate with iPhoto.
Some possible causes:
1. Using non-ascii characters in your Album Names or Keywords
Have a look at this thread

where Dave E made some discoveries about occassional malformations in the file.

IMovie cannot find clip!? HELP!

     Hi, I have been posting lots of questions lately, as my MacBook is giving me tons of very annoying and frusterating problems. I always seem to have trouble with iMovie though...
     Anyways, I need to use iMovie, like I always do, and every single time I open it up, this comes up:
     I have tried everything (even fooling iMovie into thinking it is accepting a file, which is really empty and is just named after the original clip) to make this go away, but like usual, nothing works! How can I make this go away? I have tried restarting the computer and force quitting iMovie, but this message still keeps on popping up! It is EXTREMELY frusterating because it won't even let me get access to my projects (which are also pretty much empty thanks to my klutzy move, check out my other questions please!!) and I need them pronto! Thank you so much! I hope somebody will actually (for once in their lives) take the time out of their day to help this clumsy girl. I never get any help or answers, and it really gets me mad! Thank you, and hopefully I'm not talking to air!!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's an iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie
