IMovie doesn't load properly

Hi
I start iMovie and i see the loading symbol then when all my thumbnails appear, the gray bar in the middle with all the buttons disappears and all i see is gray, no voiceover button, reject clip, no music all gone. Even the Red yellow and green circles in the top left have disappeared. Also when i try to skim movies it doesnt work properly and the red bar that follows your mouse cant keep up.
I hope this makes sense and somebody knows how to help me.

HI there, Do you have the latest update for IM? YOu do not say what version you have. First make sure you have updated...to the most current version... If the application is acting odd, I start by first repairing permissions, in disk utility. Than try it again, if that does not work I delete the I Movie preferences. It will create a whole new set when you launch the application again. That is location in your User folder>library>preferences>com.apple.imovie.plist. MOve to trash. Than try I Movie again. See if that works. If not post back, Ileen

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

In Home Agent doesn't load properly

I have two nearly identical desktops and a laptop. The IHA doesn't load properly on one of the desktops. All have Win XP SP3 with all the security updates. All use Firefox as the default browser, but do have IE8 installed and working.
On the one that IHA doesn't load properly, when attempting to load, I wind up with two icons in the system tray. One is labeled MSI1F.tmp; the second, MSI18.tmp. Both tool tips show "Script paused" checked. If I restart the computer, the icons disappear.
If I attempt to execute the IHA, it starts up, and looks like it wants to work, but when I get to the page with the toolbar at the top and I click on "Internet," the body of the page goes blank and does not display anything.
Going to the feedback portion on the laptop (so I can be next to the desktop), I contacted support, and they were able to use remote control of my computer, but couldn't do any good and gave up.
Everything else seems to work. I can connect to the internet, but downloading a large file, such as Flash Player, is excruciatingly slow (that's what started all of this); the working units just fly. Using the laptop, I have been able to isolate the problem down to something inside the desktop, eliminating connection, router, and wiring issues. I have also tried using a wired and a wireless connection with the same basic results, making me think that it is just not one of the hardware interfaces (The wired connection is 1.0 Gbps and the wireless is "n.")
Any ideas short of just reloading XP and all of the other software?
Thanks.

Not sure if reloading will help In-Home Agent start working. I'm not sure what the fix would be for this but the software is known to be a bit glitchy. A lot of us just prefer removing it from the machine if all works well, unless you need a specific feature/repair option within the software.

Website doesn't load properly in Firefox and IR.

Does anybody know why my website:
www.clicktoneproductions.com doesn't load properly in firefox and
Internet explorer but seems to load okay in safari? This is my
first ever website so I'm not too familiar with CSS although I've
used Div Tags to contain all the links and used CSS for the
background image.
In firefox/IR the background image either doesn't load at all
or loads sometimes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Start by adding a valid doctype and validating the page.
Also, why do you have a splash page that does nothing other than
open a popup? Many people will not disable their popup blocker just
to enter your site and the splash page adds nothing of
value.

Since update, facebook doesn't load properly; it does in IE and Chrome.

firefox updated yesterday. since then, facebook does not load properly at all. i thought maybe facebook had changed, again. nope. i tried with IE, Google chrome and on the ipad and all 3 loaded the way facebook always loads. this is really annoying. i thought it would change when i shut laptop down last night and turned it on today. nope.

My flash website gets stuck and doesn't load properly

I have developed a flash website that works perfectly well
when i test it on my computer. when i have loaded it onto the web
it seems to get stuck.
www.adamdunnesculpture.com
if i do a hard refresh (Ctrl & F5) it will load properly.
is there any code that will force the flash movie to fully load...
i am totally stuck and have worked hard on this to allow me
to teach this at the school i work at. any advice would be very
very gratefully received.
Thankyou in advance

you should use preloader code or the onLoadInit() method of
the moviecliploader class to ensure all assets are loaded before
any attempt is made to use those assets.

Firefox 4: have 4 users and its not working for one. The actual Firefox search bit doesn't load properly: very bare and search doesn't work . However, bookmarks etc seem OK

Have just upgraded to Firefox 4 today, and seems OK for 3 out of 4 users, but not for one of us. It's just that bit in the middle with the red fox logo and the search box that don't load properly - looks very bare - and can type into box but nothing happens when press 'search'

Don't know - the bit in the middle of the web page which sounds like the search container!
However, have found a work around - opening up Google and saving that as the home page.
Thanks for your reply.

IMovie Isn't Loading Properly, Screen Showing Up Blank

Does anyone know why my iMovie isn't displaying properly, when I open up iMovie the program display looks like this.
I deleted some events previously but I don't know what could have caused this. I've been editing some videos recently where the files I'm importing are large, but I don't know if what's what caused this. The length of the videos was only between 1-2 hours. I'd appreciate any advice or answers as to how I could resolve this.

You mean update to 8.0.6, I did that already. Here is the pic, you have seen it before?

Flat File DataSource doesn't load properly.

Hi all,
we have a data file, which is tab delimited, saved as CSV and text versions. i have created a flat file datasource, mapped all fields.
I can load CSV version fine, but when use it on text version, it doesn't like it and can only return column one with the rest of the column blanked in the preview tab.
Setting:
In the "General" tab, everything is unchecked.
In Extraction tab, Adapter - "Load Text-Type File from Local Workstation"
                         Character settings - "Default setting"
                         Data format - "Separated with Separator"
                         Data separator - tab (00BB Hex)
                         Escape Sign - CR (00B6 Hex)
                         Number format - Direct entry
                                                 Thousand Separator - ","
                                                 Decimal point - "."
i have tried different setting, change number format to "User Master Records".
With the text version, the result in Preview can only display first column and Proposal preview can only shows one column. There is no error returned from the text version.
The CSV version can display all data and they are aligned as well.
what do i miss? is the text file not saved correctly? i can see all tabs and CR in the text version. it seems to be the tab is not detected properly or something.
Regards

How do you get iMovie '08 to load properly after installation and updates?

I loaded iMovie '08 and updated and at first it was smooth. Then, I tried to follow instructions on how to send a (copy or duplicate) of a project to my external hardrive. When I tried to pull the "original" up on my iMac; it would only pull up temporarily. Once it started loading the "thumbnails"--then it would simply say that iMovie had encountered a problem ad ask me to either; REPORT, RETRY or CLOSE (the project). For the few moments it was loading up--I could see my video footage--but then it would flash to the "REPORT", RETRY or CLOSE" screen. HELP!

.. I'm not sure what you are referring to in terms of the "Finder" level operation?
if you want to delete events or projects, you have to do that in the app iM08 itself; if you erase any files in 'Finder' (when no app is running, MacOs shows you the 'Finder', read the manual.....) for sure iM will complain and show a weird behavior..
... Now, EVERY TIME I "trash" the iMOVIE'08--and "re-install it--and follow with the "update"--it does the same thing.
re-installing an app is a habitual behavior on inferior systems ... as we like to say here ..
for sure, a reinstall of the app doesn't fix your Events and Projects Folders.. if you mis-manage any content by doing so on Finder level, the app will keep 'complaining'..
sorry, no fix from here (=I'm afraid, you totally misconfigured the file management 'manually'), if you try to be smarter than the guys at Cupertino, you HAVE to be smarter than them..

Flash movie doesn't load properly in IE only

I have a simple flash movie which transitions through text and photos. I have a preloader (AS3) on frame 1, which sends the playhead to frame 2, after the movie has loaded 100%. For some reason, in Internet Explorer, the preloader bar will load all the way, but fail to move the playhead to frame 2, so it'll just sit there, with the preload bar at 100%. However, this does not happen every time. For instance, right now, the flash movie will play when I initially go to the website, but when I click on another page, the same flash header (same swf on each page) will just show the preloader bar but will not play the rest of the movie. Reloading the page doesn't help. Closing the browser and reopening it doesn't help. Clearing the browser cache doesn't help either. So, the flash movie will play correctly on the first page of the website I go to (whether it be the home page or another page) but then when I go to any other page which has the flash movie, it won't play, just sits there with the preloader bar showing. And then when going back to the initial page I entered the site on, the flash movie no longer plays there, either. I haven't seen this problem in any other browser than Internet Explorer (6 and 7). I've checked in Firefox on Mac and PC and Safari on Mac. I'm using flash player 10.0.22.87 on my Mac and PC. The flash movie was made in Flash CS3, for flash player 9, actionscript 3 code.
So, to see the problem, go here in Internet Explorer: http://demo.matthewpavkov.com/adairsolar. Wait for the movie to load and start playing. It works. Then, navigate to one of the other pages and you'll see that the same swf will not play. Navigate back to the home page, the swf does not play.
Here is the preloader code:
import flash.display.*;
this.stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
    lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
    lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";
    if (pcent>=100) {
        this.gotoAndStop(2);
Also, if I remove the preloader actionscript code, the flash movie plays correctly. You can see that here: http://demo.matthewpavkov.com/adairsolar/no-preload
The .fla is available to anyone who wants to take a closer look.

mjjp,
     In may just be that in IE, the ProgressEvent never fires -- because your content is already cached. See what happens if you add the following new lines (very end of the code sample):
this.stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(
ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";
if (pcent>=100) {
    this.gotoAndStop(2);
if (this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded >= this.loaderInfo.bytesTotal) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
     See what's going on? This way, even of the ProgressEvent handler never fires, you're still comparing the bytesLoaded property against the bytesTotal property.

Page doesn't load properly

Last year, I started having a problem loading a particular Web site page that I'd always been able to get before. Everything loads except a graphic box with text that rotates in one corner. There is just blank space on the page where it should be.
I was advised that this was probably a JAVA issue. I removed the Java application from my computer and reinstalled, but the problem persists. Any ideas? I'm using Windows XP on a desktop. It's possible that other Web sites aren't loading correctly, but I wouldn't know it. The site continues to show up properly on my laptop.

The site is:
www.healthatoz.com
I'm an editor at that site so I know how it should look! My colleagues seem to be able to access the site properly on their home computers. I don't get the rotating box of articles that changes daily in the upper left of the page.

Gmail doesn't load properly

I am running Safari 3.2.1, which I believe is the latest version (at least Software Update doesn't find any newer version available) and Gmail always seems to have problems. Basically the problem is that the page never loads 100%. It sits there with a swirling circle as if it's still loading and the status bar says "loading...4 of 6 items completed" (or 8 of 9 items completed). But it never completes the last items. The address bar is also about 80% filled and never finishes. The page seems to function okay, but it's annoying that it will not load to 100%. It's not an internet connection issue as the problem is specific to Gmail. I recently deleted all my caches, so I don't think the problem is there. I assume everyone has this problem and it's just a bug in Safari, but figured I'd check and see if someone knows how it can be fixed. Thanks for any suggestions.

Ben,
When I was running 3.2.1 I had the exact same problem. It never kept me from using gmail but was disconcerting. I now run Safari 4 beta which seems to eliminated the behavior. As far as I know there wasn't a fix to the problem running 3.2.1.
