IMovie date problems

I uploaded some film from a camera onto iMovie and it says the date is the year 2025. I am trying to figure how to change that to the proper year. Does anybody know how?
Thanks, Julien

Does anybody know how?
On of the easier, more accurate methods is to change the "file creation date" using an application like the free "A Better Finder Attributes." Another would be to upgrade to iMovie '09 which has an "Adjust" function built into the application.

  • New iMovie '08 problems -- FireWire or new device issues?

    Not sure if this is an iMovie '08 problem or an OS X problem. Here's the story --
    Prior camcorder was a Panasonic, MiniDV format. Hooks up nicely with iMovie, via FireWire (400). I also have a WD My Book (500 GB) device to store the raw data (Event Library), which connects via FireWire (800). In the past, all three devices (Panasonic, My Book and MacBook Pro) all played nicely together.
    Fast forward to now. Bought a new camcorder (problems with the Panasonic). It's a Canon ZR950 (MiniDV). With iMovie running, I first connect the WD device which is successfully mounted. I then hookup the new Canon and within a few seconds I get an error about a "device not cleanly shut down" (or words to that effect). Odd .... and when I try to connect to my new camcorder, I get a "no camera connected" error.
    Rebooted, retried .... same issues. Another time I first connected the Canon and this time, iMovie successfully sees it. I go to connect the My Book and then the camcorder drops out.
    So, it seems I can have only one FireWire device connected at a time, which is odd since I didn't have this issue with the old Panasonic.
    Help!

    Interesting that you based your purchase on CR magazine because I too use it like a bible. However, when it comes to video cameras, I think they are way off base when not considering the editing side of video making that goes along with any camcorder. Who shoots video simply to plug it into a TV for playback?? If they were doing responsible reporting on this particular subject, they would also include computer capture and editing details in the reviews. Lots of the new format cams don't even work with Macs and the ones that do generally give lesser quality after conversion than what you can still get with tape. At least you made the right decision there!

  • Help needed with missing data problem in CRVS2010

    We recently upgraded the reporting engine in our product to use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (previously engine was CR9). Our quote report, which has numerous subreports and lots of conditional formatting, started losing data when a quote took more than a single page to be printed. We knew the SQL results included the data, but the report was not printing those lines at all or sometimes printing a partial line. In addition, the running total on the report would exclude the lines that were being missed on the next page. In one example submitted by a customer, 3 lines were skipped between pages.
    I think I have identified two potential issues that document the possibility of data not being included in the report.
    The first potential issue is an issue with the "suppress blank section" option being checked. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01483793, being released someday with service pack 2 for CRVS2010.
    The second potential issue is using shared variables. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01484308, also targeted for SP2.
    Our quote report does not explicitly use shared variables with any of the subreports, but it does have several subreports, each in its own section that has the "supress blank section" option checked. We have other reports that use this feature, as well, and they are not exhibiting the problem.
    One different thing about the quote report is that it has a section with multiple suppression options selected. The section has a conditional suppression formula, which controls whether the section is included at all within the report. The section also has the suppress blank section option selected. There are multiple fields within the report that are each conditionally suppressed. In theory, the section's suppress formula could evaluate to true, yet all of the fields within the section are suppressed (due to null values), and then the "suppress blank section" option would kick in.
    The missing data only seems to happen when the section is not being suppressed, and at least one of the fields is being included in the report. If I clear the "suppress blank section" check box, and change the section formula to also include the rules applied to the fields in the section, the missing data problem seems to be resolved.
    Is this related to ADAPT01483793? Will it be fixed in service pack 2?
    If more details are needed, I would be happy to provide a sample report with stored data.

    Hi Don,
    Have a look at the Record Selection formula in CR Designer ( stand alone ) and when exported to RPT format opening that report in the Designer also. 
    There's been a few issues with => logic in the record selection formula. It could be you are running into this problem. Look for NOT inserted into your selection formula.
    Oh and SP2 is coming out shortly so it may resolve the issue. But if you want you could purchase a support, or if you have a support contract then create a case in SMP and get a rep to work with you to debug the issue.
    If you have not try the Trial Version of CR 2011, put it on a VM-ware image or Test PC so you don't corrupt anything for production and have a look at and test it in that designer also. If you purchase a case and it is a bug then you'll get a credit back for the case.
    Don

  • How to fix iMovie 08 problems under 10.5.3

    iMovie problems under Mac OS X 10.5.3 linked to color system
    After updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3, users may have problems with launching iMovie. For most, iMovie refuses to opens, and the usual fix of removing the iMovie preferences, caches, and other iMovie settings files, and then relaunching the program does not appear to help. One user reinstalled the program with no luck resolving the problem:
    "I have the same problem. I've tried to reinstall the imovie, but it still does not work. I have imported a lot of video in iMovie. Please help!!! "
    For other users, while iMovie would start, they could not open any projects or use the program.
    One user, while not initially affected by this problem, found that after changing the color calibration of his Apple Cinema display iMovie suddenly wouldnt open just as described by others; however, upon reverting to a previous color profile iMovie became functional again. This indicates the problem lies somewhere in computer's color system configuration; and changing color settings seems to have fixed the problem for all affected users.
    Fixes
    Change the screen colors Go to the "Displays" system preferences and change the color output of the screen (either from thousands to millions, or vice versa) and relaunch iMovie. Somehow changing the display color depth modifies the color system so iMovie properly loads.
    Calibrate the display While for some users calibrating the display resulted in the iMovie error, for others the problem was fixed by re-calibrating the display. Calibrating the display can be an involved process, but it is recommended to ensure your screen outputs the most accurate colors as possible. This option is available in the "Displays" system preferences under the "Color" tab.
    More:
    Correcting the problem by changing profiles suggests a permissions problem which repairing permissions won't fix. Use the terminal command
    ls -al /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    Compare the permissions on the working and non-working profiles. If they are different, correct the non-working instance.
    Everyone should read MacFixit Every Day

    Another fix for iMovie launch problems We previously reported that, after updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3, users may have problems with launching iMovie. For most, iMovie refuses to opens, and the usual fix of removing the iMovie preferences, caches, and other iMovie settings files, and then relaunching the program does not appear to help. One user reinstalled the program with no luck resolving the problem.
    We noted a few fixes for the issue, including changing scren colors and calibrating the display. Now some users have reported that temporarily adjusting screen resolution can allow iMovie to properly launch. The resolution can be changed back to normal after the update.
    "Neither suggested trick worked for me. However I temporarily changed the resolution to 1024x768 and then launched imovie. I then went back to my native resolution of 1280x800 (white ibook) and now imovie always launches. Thanks for the tips"

  • Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie.  Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me.  I tried turning off all my firewall

    Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie.  Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me.  I tried turning off all my firewall settings.?  IDK if I'm even doing that right.  Can anyone help out here?

    You don't need Handbrake for that if it is your own DVD.
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle.
    a DVD is in a compresed format called mpeg2, which is standard across all DVDs. This is what is known as a 'final delivery format' and is not suitable for editing. Because is is compressed, a 4.7GB DVD can hold a two hour movie (dual layer DVDs twice that), whereas the DV stream from a video camera, which runs at about 13GB per hour, is not compressed and IS intended for editing.
    In other words you have to 'reverse engineer' the DVD back to an uncompressed format in ordfer to edit it. There is a penalty for doing this in terms of slight quality loss, but it is one you can live with.
    When you have your DVD as an icon on your desktop, double-click it, and it will open to reveal a TS-Folder containing a number of various files, some called VOB. These are the constituent parts of any video DVD.
    When you have downloaded and installed mpegStreamclip, and purchased and installed the Apple mpeg2 plugin, open mpegStreamclip and drag the entire TS Folder into its window. Then using the various menus available to you (just explore them and you will get the hang of it) ask it to convert to DV.
    That DV file, which will be many times larger than the original TS Folder, and which can a while to create (be patient - make coffee or prune the roses!) is what you can now import into iMovie for editing etc.
    When you have finished doing that, you then have to turn the project back into a DVD.
    mpegStreamclip can be downloaded from here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    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.

  • [JHS10.1.3] Date problem

    Running into a date problem for a forms migration.
    I have a date field in the database, normal date field.
    The users want to be able to search on partial dates.
    So adding a between on this field will only generate two date selectors, which is not what they want.
    The format is like a year field, week field, day field.
    I could modify the query to return three extra numeric fields which convert the date to the right format ('yyyy', 'wi', 'dd' ) and then to number and generatie 3 between fields for this.
    This will generate the right layout, 6 input fields for a year from/to week from/to day from/to
    But the query will be like (year between x and x) and (week between x and x) and day (between x and x)
    This will not produce the right results.
    What is possible is a string manipulation of the whereclase in the method getViewCriteriaClause()
    And see if any/all of the fields are filled and build the query there, but this is not a 'clean' solution.
    Any idea on how I can solve this? Basicly a date field in the database, user wants to search that date field on year/week/day between year/week/day or a partial of that.
    This is the way it used to be in the forms application so I really want to give the same functionality with ADF.
    Anton

    Not sure if I completely understand what you said, but this is what I did ( it seems to work )
    All my viewobjects extends a new superviewobjectimp, this class has just 2 setters and getters, one for the datefield I want to search on and one for the partial name I gave the three attributes (<fixed name>Year <fixed name>Week <fixed name>Day).
    In the advancedSearch, in the loop trough the attributes I cast the viewobject to this superviewobjectimp. I can now check if the attribute contains the partial name. If this is the case I build my own string and add it to the viewCriteriaMap.
    One odd thing I found here is that it refuses to let me add a string like
    between to_date( '<startdate>', 'yyyy-mm-dd' ) and to_date( '<enddate>', 'yyyy-mm-dd' )Because if I do this, for some reason the attribute name will be wrapped in a to_char!
    If I just leave:
    between '<startdate>' and '<enddate>'It works, but I dont feel really safe about that, I would rather use the datecast to be sure.
    Any idea how this can be done?
    I also used the java Calendar class to transform a yyyy-iw-d to a yyyy-mm-dd because it seems I cant use 'iw' in a to_date(....). This also solved a problem with partial dates, java will autocomplete them for me.
    In other words if I only supply the year 2005 to 2006 it will auto search from 2005-1-1 - 2006-1-1, same for weeks.
    I have a lot of viewobjects which will require this, I'm trying to make it as solid as I can.
    Any suggestions?

  • I have a strange 3g data problem.

    I have a strange 3g data problem.  At home I have zero 3G connectivity even though all bars are showing and says "3G" and wifi is "Off" ... unless I am on the phone and then magically the 3G data connection works perfectly!!  Does anyone have any idea what is happening?  Also when I bring my phone to my dad's or my friends house the problem disappears!! Is this a hardware or a AT&T network problem? os is 4.3.3
    Also called ATT and they said there was no problem with the network and that it was a hardware issue.  Also restored the phone several times but the problem did not go away.

    OK, no trouble shooting. The first thing I'd attempt is restarting in Safe Mode. If you still don't have luck try doing both a SMC and PRAM reset, it wouldn't hurt to do the SMC reset a couple of times. If still no luck let us know.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Interpreting error message; insight into data problems?

    I own a 8310 on AT&T running OS 4.5.011.  I have been having intermittent data problems that have gotten worse over the last week; e.g., the connection box autonomously becomes unchecked, the browser cannot find a connection, data randomly goes form GSM to edge and back, Vlingo cannot find its server.
    AT&T Service suggested a "Master Reset" and I have backed up my data with BB Desktop Mgr. as a first step.  I got the following error message:
    "Uncaught Exception:Application net_rim_bb_app(53) is not responding; process terminated"
    Please help me 1) translate and 2) does that suggest a source of my problems?

    You need to enclose carData[0],carData[1] etc in single quotes, if they are String(s). Otherwise you can use PreparedStatement.
    PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("Insert into car values(22 questions marks)");
    ps.setInt(1,temp);
    for(int i=0;i<21;i++) ps.setString(i+2,carData[ i ]);
    int count=ps.executeUpdate();

  • IMovie data on a disk image?

    I use(d) iMovie to cut clips for my school and therefore I want to store the events and projects etc. on their server. We don't want to store it on a external hard drive for security reasons.
    Is there any possibility to store iMovie data on a disk image?

    any ideas!!

  • Update on imovie 5 problems

    I'm starting a new thread. Sorry but I'm getting lost as to whom I'm talking to & what I've written ...who's on 1st what's on 2nd etc.
    So the big news is ... On this 3rd total re-install of Tiger I've added something else to the install.
    Classic install. And only Slick plugins with their updates.
    It's early days but NUMBER 5 is Still alive! No audio clicks between clips, faster response from 5 . This is on a 1hour 40min project which has become the test bed. Faster response from firewire output to T.V. monitor also is noted. No crashes after 30min of working with constant changeing of effects & transitions. Haven't tried titles yet.
    SO... I updated to 5.02 & Quicktime 7.02. Everthing remains stable so far. Again as before I can see no obvious benefit in these upgrades but I'm only looking at imovie so far.
    So tell me, those of you with problems do you have Classic installed? Is Classic the answer? Do I "sound" desparate?
    where did i put my pills.....
    Mark

    Can't remember the exact wording of what you refer to-"Install Mac OS 9 Disk Driver". You cannot boot in OS9 anymore. Only Classic.
    The note below the "Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed" checkbox in Disk Utility says this:
    "Select this option to use this device on a computer running Mac OS 9. This option does not affect Classic."
    My Mac can boot in Mac OS 9 as well as Mac OS X, which may be why I'm offered the checkbox. Perhaps the checkbox isn't offered on Macs that don't boot in 9?
    It had occurred to me you may have turned on that feature for the first time. But if you can't boot in OS 9, I suppose not.
    It is certainly possible that reformatting the drive might have contributed to eliminating an iMovie playback problem, I suppose. Hard to say.
