Imovie did not save

Hello,
I had iniciated a new project and was working on this project for about 3 hours. Imovie is suppose to auto-save everything without me having to worry. For some random reason, imovie shutsdown (no other programs were running) when I do open imovie again, NOTHING that i had done was in there (aside for the empty project folder). I am very frustrated at this, i cannot not find what i did anywhere.
First question: Is there any way that the file may be hidden somewhere? (long shot question, i know)
Second: How can i prevent this from happening again?
Obs. Everything is up to day in my mac pro, including Imovie.

Hi
Don't remember how People is indicated/marked - BUT Hopefully You've not misstaken
what it does in the sway I was at start.
I thought that it would resemble Faces in iPhoto. It doesn't at all - Nothing to do with it.
It only divide clips with people from clips without. No sort of identification AT ALL.
There is another function in iMovie'11 that I also misinterpreted. ANIMATIONS.
Which is not a tool to add animations to ones movie as a black band over faces of people
that is not to be identified or any other animatied functions. It only adds screens to
a Storyboard when starting up a new project to be replace with real video later on.
Yours easily confused Bengt W

  • Mainstage Metronome Output did not save. HELP!!!

    Hello everyone. Sorry for my bad English. I used all versions of mainstage and I've never had this problem. Now I have the latest update of Yosemite on my new macbook pro, the last update of mainstage 3 and the last update of the driver of my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6. The problem: I set the metronome in the preferences in the output 11, I set it to concert level and accordingly comes in every patch in output 11. Except, I close mainstage, I open again the concert and the metronome is going to end in an output apparently chosen at random, not only that but when I go to check each patch in the channel strip you see output 11 but cliking shows output 5 and until I change patch to patch the metronome does not sound in any channel !!! PLEASE HELP ME !!!It's driving me crazy!!!

    iMovie should save as it goes along, though it is known that sometimes minor edits such as title text changes fail to be saved.   Are these the kind of things you are missing or are more substantial?
    Did you close iMove normally last time or did it crash or was it force-quit?
    The key folder you need is iMovie Projects but if iMovie did not save the edits I don't think you will find a more up to date version on Time machine.

  • How can I get back a pages file and its backup if I did not save them to my documents?

    Hallo community!
    My mac got stock on a website because of a java update so I was forced to shut down the computer using the on-botton. Upon restarting my work on Pages I clicked on the file I was working on so as to open both the file and pages but the file wouldnt open. I checked if I had also saved the file on my documents to try to restart it from there. But this file comes originally from a USB which I dont have at this moment although I could kee on working on this file without the usb. The file is not my documents yet it shows on the last files-list of pages.
    I cant open this file anymore, maybe because I did not save it to my files. Although this is strange because I even named another file I worked on along this first document. Enfin, the first file even has a backup according to the list but the backup wont open either. I don't know how to get this file back I am in big trouble If I dont get to open it soon! I hope somebody can help me. Anyone knows a trick or something!?

    What version of Pages?
    It sounds like it may be damaged.
    You do not have to save to Documents.

  • I downloaded Lion from the app store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing.  Do I have to buy it again to install on my Macbook Pro and iPad or is there another way to do that?

    I downloaded Lion from the App Store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing.  Do I have to buy it again to install  it on my Macbook Pro and iPad,  or is there another way to do that?
    All my electronics are about a year old.   iPad is Model MB293LL (4.2.1) only wi-fi - no phone.
    MacBook Pro is  OSX 10.6.8 Build 10K549.  Also have an AT&T iPhone that I basically use as a Palm, since I changed carriers.
    Thank you for your help. 
    ps: I got an error message and it looks like this did not get posted the first time.  2nd try.

    Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
    Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
    Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
    “Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
    This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
    Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.

  • I have updated my ipod and it deleted everything including my photos and i did not save my photos on any other device, How do i get them back?

    I have updated my iPod and it deleted everything including my photos and I did not save my photos on any other device, How do I get them back?

    You didn't import all of your pics regularly?  Particularly before an update?
    They may very well be gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

  • Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover file?

    Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover filled form with data from temp locations?
    I was not aware that ctrl+s no longer works in reader and closed the PDF after savign it(with ctrl+s). However ,the data is lost and there seems to be no way to recover it.
    I cannot find any temp files created by Reader on my system.
    Also to my surprize(and shock), the reader did not even show a warning before closing the PDF. Does anybody know if/where can I recover the file from?
    Guys, Please reply ASAP if you have got any sort of solution!

    Hi Pat,
    Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
    I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
    I guess I should not have updated the reader.

  • Keynote is not responding. I have already worked on my slides for hours, but did not save; suddenly the application stops responding. What's the solution?

    If you had never saved the file at any time, you have lost your work.
    Go to;  Apple Menu > Force Quit
    Start a new presentation, and from now on, after adding the first object to the slide, save the file.

  • Filled out pdf form, did not save, cannot locate

    filled out pdf form, did not save, cannot locate

    Hi angel07h,
    Did you try to save the file, but the save was unsuccessful? Or did you just not have a chance to save the file? Where did you get the form? Did you download it from a website, or fill it out directly on a website?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can a recover a file I did not save?

    How can I recover a file I did not save?

    Or if all else fails and you think you had it in iCloud...
    You won't find it via a normal search in Finder.
    But in Finder you can try holding down the option key and in the menu Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and look for an 'Untitled.numbers' document there.

  • Can i retrieve a track i did not save?

    I was half asleep and shut down GB before saving a recording/track of a rehearsal.   Upon opening GB the 'project' was there but the track is gone.  Can i retrieve it somehow? 

    If you did not save the the project, you cannot access the audio track directly, because it will have been deleted from the file system.
    But check with data recovery software, if it can restore the file from your drive. Disk Drill has a free trial, so you can see if it will work, before you buy the software:

  • I cannot change the Font on Microsoft Office; also my work did not save. I use Firefox, not Internet Explorer

    I use Times Roman, 14, Bold. It comes up huge in Firefox. I can only reduce it to 8 and that is not enough. I would like it to look like the Font I used on my old computer. Also, my work did not save.

  • ITunes DID NOT SAVE anything I've spent hours and hours setting up

    iTunes DID NOT SAVE anything that I've set up. I've spent like a whole day setting up my iTunes library, and syncing everything with my iPod. The next day, I open up iTunes and EVERYTHING'S GONE.

  • My word document is not responding and I did not save it prior to this event.  I don't want to loose my work. what should I do?

    my word document is not responding and I did not save it prior to this event. How do I fix this without loosing my work?

    Open a new document in the TextEdit application and copy and paste the contents of the frozen Word document in the new TextEdit doc and save to your desktop. Force close Word if it won't close normally, reboot the PC, open the TextEdit document you previously created and copy the contents from the TextEdit doc back into a new Word document and hopefully all will be well.

  • I have Nortons security suite under the old version the Idenity protection worked I kept all my passwords under this which used a master pasword I did not save passwords any were else and now can not get it to work supplying passwords for my l0gon site.

    Symantec need to correct a mistake they made with their add-ons. They originally updated their add-ons after quite a delay to work with Firefox 4.0 as shown here - http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894
    They made an error with the update in only listing it as compatible with Firefox 4.0, so they will not install on Firefox 4.0.1 and subsequent Firefox security updates. Symantec have indicated they will be releasing an update to correct their error soon, for details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-Toolbar-not-compatible-with-FF-4-0-1/td-p/442788/page/12

    Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned below).  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod.
