Imovie HD acting weird; won't show finished movie in the big screen

My Imovie HD has started acting totally weird. First off, it wouldn't show finished movie projects in the large viewing screen. Then there were clips that no longer showed up. Sometimes I can hear the sound of a clip, but not see it. I tried compressing a project in quicktime to publish it on the Web and I got an error. Then the imovie started acting weird. Now when I open it, it just closes on its own.
I've run disk utility and no problems were found. I also tried Tech Tool. And I couldn't find the plist file for imovie at all to delete it. I've also emptied the cache files. HELP!

There is probably an app. malfunction. You should have a certified Apple salesman look at it. Other than that, i am not sure what to do.

    I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.

    In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

    You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port. (Make sure you have the latest version of iTune on your computer)
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • HELP!  Project due! iMovie 06 acting weird!

    Sorry
    Somehow I accidently posted this in the iMovie 08 discussions and I realize it needs to be in this section -- so here's my question:
    Hi! I'm hoping someone can help us! My daughter has been working on a short 10 min historical documentary in iMovie 6.0.3 Everything was going great (we use this program often.) It has lots of still image clips that pan in out with the ken burns effect. She added audio to it using Quicktime audio files (which before she just drag and dropped into the timeline -- now she had to move them into iTunes and add them from the media window but that is no problem really except it seemed like the program was acting squirrely) She has had to redo some of the audio recordings and as a result some of the lengths of the photo image clips need to be changed. The problem is that suddenly all the clips are dimmed in the timeline (they weren't last night!!!) and we cannot grab the edge of a clip/image and lengthen it. It won't show us the little handle thing. We can change the length manually in the photo settings window but it's a real pain since we have to mess with it to get it it to just the right length!!
    I have no idea what changed -- what we might have accidently reset. I have shut down and restarted the program and the computer several times. I have checked the preferences and then discarded the preferences list and emptied the trash and restarted the computer. I have tried to open other iMovie projects that we have started and the timeline items are dimmed on those, too!
    What did we do? And how can I change it -- this is at a bad time since this is now due for a competition and she needs to fix these items before she can submit it!
    Thanks so much for your help!!!!

    Check to make sure that iMovie has sufficient free disk space to operate--at least 10GB. Update all of your iLife programs to current versions. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Do the permissions repair whether or not you update.
    Usually when iMovie acts strangely, it often helps to close iMovie and trash the file com.Apple.iMovie.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. But, you said you already did that.
    Good luck with this.

  • My iPod Won't Show Anything But A Brighter Black Screen.

    My iPod Touch 5g had been working just fine for the last 8 months, and even this morning. But, as I was getting into my car, I turned it on and nothing but a brighter black screen showed up. After a few tries of just pressing the on/off button it finally turned on. It worked for a while then, it just wouldn't turn on at all. When I got home, I plugged it in to the charger and it did the same brighter black screen. It's like it turns on in the background but doesn't let the actual screen show. I've plugged it into my computer and the wall, I've held the home and on/off button together but neither are working. It will also play music from my speakers if I press play on the speakers but it won't show me anything but a brighter black screen. Any tips?

    Brighter black?  Black is black.  It has no shades.
    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If that's the case, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Webpart won't show tasks related to the list item

    Hi
    I have a 'Complaints' task webpart that's displayed under a (list) display form. The tasks are created by a workflow, when a complaint is created. I can get all of the tasks to appear in the webpart, but I can't filter it - I'm wanting the tasks relating
    to the specific complaint to appear in the webpart, but I can't seem to get this to work.
    I've tried several ways:
    creating a new calculated field to extract the ID from the hyperlink in the 'Link' column (*ID='12').  In the webpart I connected the complaint 'Id' to the new calculated field.
    Created a new calculated field to extract the Title from the hyperlink in the 'Link' column (*ID=12, 'Complaint against B & M Builders'). In the webpart I connected the complaint 'Title' to the new calculated field.
    *Can't display the whole hyperlink for privicy reasons.
    Any ideas how I can get this webpart to work?
    There's a similar question 'Webpart to show related tasks', but the solution involves using Designer - I was wondering if it can be done at the front end.
    Thanks

    So if you're creating a task via workflow, put the current item (complaint) ID into the Task in a column called RelatedComplaintID. Then on the page, connect the two web parts together and bind ID to RelatedComplaintID.

  • My 5d Mark II won't show focus properly through the viewfinder but can with liveview?

    I absentmindedly let my 5D Mark II jostle around a little today and now when looking through the viewfinder it's seemingly not focusing properly, yet when pressing the shutter button it shoots the photo in perfect focus as long as I focus it correctly in the first place. When I switch it to liveview mode, it also focuses fine. I'm also hearing a weird noise when it's shutting down, but this could just be placebo considering I haven't had it for all that long and just may have never heard the noise before. Could this be an issue with the viewfinder picking up the focused image, or the camera itself is having an issue?

    When the camera performs it's self-cleaning it uses a piezoelectric effect to "vibrate" a filter located in front of the sensor (when you look at a "sensor" inside the camera you area really looking at a filter in front of the sensor... dirt and dust would actually be on the filter -- nothing is able to touch the sensor itself.)
    Also... the focus screen on the 5D II is replaceable with optional focus screens.  The focus screen is a frosted screen which rests in a tray (a frame).  The back of the frame is hinged.  The front clips in to the top of the camera.  
    See:  http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/app/pdfs/quickguides/CDLC_FocusingScreens_QuickGuide.pdf
    This may have come loose and your focus screen may not be firmly closed (and this woudl change the focus distance ... resulting in your not being able to see a focused image when looking through the viewfinder and could even account for the rattling noise.)
    It is very important that you NOT actually "touch" the focus screen trying to close it.  It is difficult to clean without damaging it and finger oils from touching would be a problem.  Also the cameras metering system is above the screen and smudges can affect the accuracy of the camera metering system.  For this reason, those optional focus screens actually come with a tool included to help you swap screens without ever needing to touch it.
    Canon's tools works a bit like a pair of tweezers ... except with a hook on the end.  As you just need to verify that it's locked up in place, you can use something to push the tab up so that you don't have to do this with your fingers.  A popsicle stick, a chopstick, etc. would all work to "close" it, etc. but the tray has a tiny tab which normally needs to be gently pulled toward you to release and lower the screen... but usually just pushing upward (without pulling) will allow it to "snap" back into it's clip.
    Here's a video demonstrating how the focus screen compartment is opened and closed.  You can check to make sure yours is closed.  This CPN video demonstrates using a 40D but the operation is identical on your 5D II.

  • 4.2 - No longer able to play TV Shows and Movies with the screen locked

    I know this sounds like a weird thing to want, but some Movies and TV Shows are perfectly suitable for listening to without the picture (e.g. musicals, comedies, chat shows).
    Prior to 4.2, even though locking the screen stops a Movie or TV Show from playing, you could resume it by double-clicking the home button and then pressing play. This would leave the screen locked, but play just the soundtrack of the Movie or TV Show you had been watching.
    Now, with the 4.2 update, this is broken - and not just in a "feature removed" kind of way. If I try and resume a Move or TV Show as I did before, I get the play button, and clicking on it appears to start for a fraction of a second, before the screen abruptly switches back to the locked screen background.
    This is extremely disappointing, but I just wanted to check here first to see if it's just my phone doing this, or whether it really is a bug.

  • IMovie 08 hangs while trying to import iPhoto movies at the start.

    Hi guys,
    When I open Imovie 08, it asks me to import iphoto movies. Then it stays there for ages and never ends importing those movies. I know I can just skip this process but I want to edit those videos from iPhoto.
    I guess is some corrupted file it is trying to import what is causing this incident but I have no idea how to tell which is the "bad" file since iMovie doesn't give any information about it.
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advence

    Hi,
    I wouldn't say I have such a lot of movies in Iphoto but deffintely they are quite a few... anyway, I suspect it will never end because the timer gets bigger and bigger; and yes I left it running overnight with no luck.
    Is there any way to see in which video is iMovie having the problem? The other workarround means having to backup and delete videos randomly until I find "the bad one".
    Cheers.

  • Lightroom won't boot -I only get the splash screen for a second.

    I do have the photographers version of the Creative Cloud which included Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom. Everything was working just fine until I upgraded to Lightroom version 5.6. Now when I try to load LR, the slash screen shows for a second then disappears and LR does not load. This occurs on both my Mac (a Mac Pro and a iMac). I uninstalled LR and had creative cloud reinstall but still the same thing is happening  - Splash screen for a second then nothing. Again, this is happening on both Mac's. Photoshop CC 2014 I working just fine.
    Before I call Adobe, any ideas here on this issue. BTW, Creative Cloud App states LR in up to date and installed.
    Thanks
