IMovie: Event Library Disappears and Projects are Not Editable...
Was in the middle of editing an iMovie project when it froze.
Restarted the application and now there is no list under Project Library, and I can't click on the Event Library.
I can see that the video is still there because it plays when I hit the spacebar but I can't edit any video components or export it.
Have tried restarting, installing updates, etc but no luck.
Delete (trash) iMovie's preference file. First, close iMovie then in Finder go to your user (home) folder Library>Preferences and locate the file named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Drag this file to the Trash. When next opened, iMovie will create a new preference file with the default settings.
You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference. To do this, in iMovie go to the menu item iMove>Preferences and if desired change any settings under each of the 4 tabs.

Subversion error -- server and project are not accessible
I just updated to CS4 for the only reason to be able to use
SVN within the program. I used to use versions, but thought that
not having to switch would be nice.
Whatever I tried, I'm getting the error "server and project
are not accessible." Remember, log in with Versions works smooth as
pie.
I created a new folder to download a new copy from the
repository, uninstalled all previous subversion clients and
reinstalled CS4, only to still get this error!

Supporting detail disappeared and the could not edit
We have a planning app (v 11.1.2.2) and one user told me he entered some data into supporting detail for one cell. After he save it and the cell data became 0. And he could not edit that cell anymore. Tried to editing supporting edit for that cell brought back a blank page. I tried that cell and although the data is 0 and I could not update supporting detail either. It just brings a blank page for supporting detail. User can still enter and edit supporting details for other cells. I can think of a couple things to do:
1. Check the relational db and delete the supporting detail for that cell.
2. Restart Planning services to see if that fixes it.
But before I do that, I want to know if anyone of you encounter the same thing or not. And is there any other way to fix that.
ThanksThanks! That icon color is barely visible. I never noticed it was there! I need to change it to more contrast color.

Hi
I have problems with my imovie 09. After several days of work with an imovie project I was again about to start editing my project after startup of my mac. I played through the project and everything seemed fine, but when a movie clip was moved infront of a still picture instead of after, the whole project became uneditable and unplayable. When trying to play the project in full screen mode a totally different project is played. Shutting Imovie and/or the mac down does not help. In some cases I have managed to get the red cursor moving along in my project. However, no movie is played in the screen in the right hand corner, -it is totally black, and the audio is again from a totally different project. I am not able to export the project as all the export options are grey. Some of the other projects worked fine and some did not, -and the functionality seemed a bit random from time to time after rebooting/ exiting and reentering imovie. My first guess would be that this is a memory porblem. However, looking at my activity monitor it seems that I'm only using 1.73 GB of system memory of a total of 4....I have tried remove old projects and also quite a bit of clips in my library to minimize memory use. Now it seems that all the rest of the projects are working fine, but my current project is still corrupt. I have tried copying the first clip of my project into a blank project, but it will only play in full screen mode, not in the screen in the right hand corner.
I am working on a mac mini with 2.26 Ghz intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
I would be very grateful if anyone out there could help me out...Is my project totally corrupt beyond the point of no repair? Why has this happened, and how is it possible that something like this can happen without any kind of warning?
Thanks!Thanks for your reply AppleMan1958. Unforunately the playback problem was only experienced in the project described, - all other projects played fine....and I tried a lot of different ways to do it...so I really believe the whole project, including the playback (which did not work in the editing window in the right hand corner either, -nothing was shown there and the red marker line would not move across the project) just suddenly become totally corrupt...However, after deleting the project as described above and installing imovie11 I have done the whole thing over again and completed the project without problems this time.
But thanks for the tip anyway! -
Lightroom 3 on a laptop as well as on my iMac and presets are not editing my photos the same.
HELP! I have Lightroom 3 on a laptop as well as on my iMac. I have imported all the same presets to my laptop and yet the photos are not at all the same as my iMac. None of the presets take the same to the exact same files between my laptop and my iMac. Even the Lightroom presets that came in with the program. The histogram is completely different on each of the photos and presets, but the settings and numbers along the right side ( exposure, black, fill light etc..) are matching. This has nothing to do with the screen. I have compared both the files on one computer. I need to figure this out! Please help.
It's obviously an upgrade. It should ask you for a second serial from a previous product. Try again and make sure to input the right serials at the right point.

My messaging,App Store, ITunes icons have totally disappeared, I have tried looking in other folders etc and resetting my homepage however I still cannot seem to find them, any ideas about how I could get them back? ( I phone 4s)
If you still have the 'pointers' to them in iTunes then I think that it assumes that you still have them on your computer so it won't re-download them or let you copy them from your iPod - try deleting the iTunes entry for one of them and then re-try re-downloading or, with your iPod connected, File > Transfer Purchases. If it works for that one then do the same for the others.

How do i import my iMovie event library to FCPX when the iMovie library is NOT in the home folder.
my situation:
my MBP is running two drives: a 160gb SSD that has my home folder, OS and all apps, and a 500gb HDD for data and non-essential software.
the HDD used to be my OS and home folder, so I used to run iMovie off it. but after installing the SSD, i am now running Lion off it, and it is now my new home folder.
so my iMovie events are now marooned on my ex-home folder, on what is now my HDD data drive.
I can import iMovie events no problem, as FCPX prompts for where the project files are. but FCPX doesn't prompt for the location of the iMovie events library, so how do i get those old iMovie events in?
i suppose i could copy all the events over to my SSD, then do the import, and then delete them. but that would take up a lot of space, and id rather not be copying and deleting so much data on the SSD.
is there any other way?It is definitely to your advantage to use the FCP command to Import your iMovie Events all at once. The reason is you will not double up on space. FCP will create a hard lingk to your events so you can access them in FCP without altering the iMovie Event in any way, but without doubling the space.
So there are several ways you could approach this.
1) If you are not using iMovie anymore, you could simply move them to the iMovie Event folder at the top level of either your old drive, or any attached drive that is formatted correctly (Mac OS Extended (journaled). This would likely break any iMovie Projects that you currently have, so it is not recommended if you will continue to use iMovie.
2) If iMovie is still working, you can use iMovie to move the Events to a proper drive. Click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK in iMovie, and Command-Drag in iMovie to Movie Events to the drive you want while maintaining your project links. This option is probably only available to you if you have set up your old drive as your official Home directory.
3) As long as you set your "old" drive to be your Home Folder in OSX, you can just leave them where they are. OSX lets you have the Home folder on a different drive than your startup drive. This is not ususally recommended, but it is useful when you have an SSD. When I got my current Mac with an SSD, I moved my home folder to the internal hard drive but OSX and my Apps are on the SSD.
To do this, I followed the advice of longtime poster Pondini, who has a great website that walks you through this.
Here is a link.

When importing my video from the event library to the project library, it's zooming in and
narrowing the width of my footage. How do I stop this from happening?In the project, double-click on the clip to open the Clip Inspector. In the Clip tab you will see an item about two thirds down labelled "Stabilization". If checked, uncheck the box "Smooth clip motion".
Stabilizing clips causes a zoomed in effect, with the extent of the zoom dependent upon how shaky the footage is. There is a slider beneath the check-box labelled "Maximum Zoom" - this can be draggged back and forth to adjust the zoom effect if desired, once the clip has been stabilized.
You may have chosen to analyze clips for stabilization when importing to iMovie (that's a choice provided by iMovie upon import). If so, it's best to turn off an option in iMovie's preferences. Go to this from the iMovie menu item iMovie>Preferences. Click on the Browser tab and deselect (uncheck) the box labelled "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed".
I prefer to import clips without analyzing, as this speeds up the import process. Afterwards, in the Event you can check for any overly shaky clips, then analyze them in the Inspector. If necessary, once dropped into a Project, you can stabilize them as desired. You can also stabilize clips directly in the Project without having to first analyze them in the Event.

I need help here. Saved events/projects are not visible or listed when I reopen FCP X. Tried to open from the event folder don't seem to work.
I'm using MacOS X 10.6.8 and just bought FCP X 10.1.
Help.No. I'm not using two hard drives. Files saved on MacBook Pro HDD. Only time I use the second HD is for backup but while working on FCP X.
This is unclear.
Do you have another HD with FCP X projects and / or events?
If you do (whether it's a backup or not) it will cause the exact problem you described. Make sure any other drives with FCP X events or projects are turned off before you launch FCP X.
If you don't have a second drive with events or projects, I suggest you try trashing your preferences.
Faults like this can sometimes be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and quite safe).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Pref Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to go over your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.

I'm getting very frustrated whenever I return to work on the video to find the file 'missing'. I know its there but it's just not showing up on the Event Browser. Sigh!!
How come you marked your own post as "Correct Answer" when all it does is tell Bob he's wrong? This will mislead people.

Not sure what I did but projects are not showing up in the video window as i skim... Event footage does but project footage has sound but the video screen is gray... How do I get the vido to show in the viewer?
So you can ping and nslookup from your ms to these agents and vice versa right? I wouldn't do a manual install, I would push the agent from the management server. You can uninstall the agent manually, or use cleanmom to get rid of them. Then
do an install from the console. When you initiate the install from the console (management server), should it run into any issues it will dump out an error which will give you an idea of where the problem may be.
From Holmans post on this:
e MOM Server could not execute WMI Query "Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem" on

1. Ensure agent push account has local admin rights
2. Firewall is blocking NetBIOS access. If Windows 2008 firewall is enabled, ensure “Remote Administration (RPC)” rule is enabled/allowed. We need port 135 (RPC) and the DCOM port range opened for console push through a firewall.
3. Inspect WMI service, health, and rebuild repository if necessary
4. Firewall is blocking ICMP (Live OneCare)
5. DNS incorrect

When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes-iPod-Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air-iPhoto. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod. And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?
