Imovie HD wont open

Imovie hd wont open. Tries to open then crashes. All other ilife apps work. Deleted the preferences, reinstalled, installed the updater, ran nortons, still no luck. Any idea what else I can try?

Hi michael,
welcome to this forum
.. uuuh, you said the bad word... no, TWO bad words: "reinstalled" is one of them, you don't run windows anymore, but a much more elaborated system, UNIX, which doesn't like (and need) reinstall, or as some say "resinstallation doesn't solve, it generates problems!"
but, the biggest mistake: you run Norton!
that is an absolutely NoGo on a UNIX machine!
A Mac, out of the box, contains much more then 20.000 files (and MacOsX makes two dozends visible...) - Norton's renommee is way below subzero with some Mac afficionados... you have a very high chance that it distroys completely the file structure of MacOsX.... :-/
you can try the suggestions made in this MacWorld article...
if you don't have any other appointments this weekend, I would suggest a complete clean install (reformat drive) of MacOsX... simply drop installer disc into Mac, wait half an hour..., don't forget to save your docs onto some external drive...

IMovie '08 Wont Open Properly

Hi Ever Since I Installed Leopard My Version Of iMovie '08 Wont Open Properly In The Dock Is Says It Is Open And On The Bar At The Top It Says iMovie '08 But No Window Opens And I Cant Make A New Project Or Anything. I Have Also Reinstalled It As Well And Still the Same Problem.
Does Any One Have Any Ideas?
Thanks

Actually after some digging around in the Apple Message Boards I found the problem. I went to system preferences, selected, displays, then chose "color" and pick any new profile. I chose the "srgb...." profile, then exited system prefs. When I opened iMovie... tada! it worked. Strange fix, but OK.

I recently installed older version of Imovie and final cut pro free trial now imovie 11 wont open what do I do?

Do you mean that the old version of iMovie (which version?) worked until you installed the FCP trial?
Note that you can only transfer projects from the latest version of iMovie (10) to FCP 10.1

Imovie project wont open/publish

Ive used imovie for a while, and its been fine. But i just opened a project, closed it, then opened imovie again, but i now cant open the project, when i click on it the picture shows its corrupted? What can i do?
i then renamed the project, and it opened, but did not play, so i tried exporting it. when exporting, it stopped and read an error message
Unable to prepare project for publishing
This project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-2009)
I then tried it again, and instead of (-2009) coming up, it was (-50)
Does anyone know what this means? Its urgent !

I have a similar experience with the same error message -50.

Itunes, Imovie, Final Cut ALL WONT OPEN

So i have recently deleted my quicktime, and then I tried to re-install.
When i tried to re-install, It told me that quicktime was already on my computer so i went and searched for allll quicktime components i could find and trashed them, thinking i could completely remove it that way and then re-install.
Now, my ITUNES, my IMOVIE and my FINAL CUT, well basically anything that uses video or audio wont open at all. It says it quit unexpectedly but it doesnt open in the first place.
I SOMEHOW managed to install quicktime 7 but it wont open either. I guess i deleted something important, I just wish i knew what it was so i could try and restore it.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I need these applications for school, etc. HELP

You now need to reinstall your entire operating system from the original install disks.
You will also have to reinstall all Apple applications that install "add-on" QT components, as well as, any third-party components you may require. Depending on your specific method of re-installation, you may also have to purge PLIST files as well. If you really messed with the QT structure imbedded in the OS rather than simply deleting player apps and components that support the imbedded structure externally, I personally would back up all projects and data files I wanted to keep and then wipe and test the hard drive before performing a complete "clean" install. And, even if you only deleted the superficial apps and suppornt components, you will likely have to re-install the packages that would replace everything you've removed and stil may have to purge the PLIST files to get the replaced apps to open properly. Even then, you may come across some broken links to certain components owing to some apparent inconsistancies the in installation/re-installation and software upgrade work flow. (E.g., you may end up with the wrong or a non-functioning iMovie '08/'09 "AppleMPEG2Codec.component" being installed.) In short, as Klaus1 indicated, you may have opend a real "can of worms" from which it may be difficult to extricate yourself.

Movie made in imovie wont open in idvd?!

so i made a little intro movie for a slideshow with the edit interface in imovie where i just added some text to a black background. i saved it and when i try and add it to idvd it wont open. im not really sure what is going on. the file is a .timovieproject so i know that it should open in idvd to "add" a movie. is there some way where i can just save it as a quicktime? thanks!

tell us how you made this black footage. was it entirely in iMovie 6? Try adding some actual video footage to the start and see if this helps, then select the black clip only ....
and share the selected clip only to iDvd. Like this:

I open Imovie that i bought on the app store but it isnt being responsive an di have to force quit because it wont open

I open Imovie that i bought on the app store but it isnt being responsive an di have to force quit because it wont open

If you got disks with your system then you use software update to update. If you purchased the software from to app store or it came pre installed with no disks the you get updates via the app store under purchased software.
Upgrades must always be purchased

Imovie wont open after mavricks update

I movie wont open after updating to mavricks. help?

Many people have been having the same problems this week because of he update. Someone on the forum mentioned uninstalling "Bonjour". +Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network - Wikipedia.+ If you have never needed it uninstall it. You could also try typing "MSCONFIG" in the Run selection under the accessories folder and un-checking it under the "Services" tab.
I personally have had the same problems. What i did was i un-checked it on the MSCONFIG menu first and then uninstalled Bonjour.
Hope all this helps

Project wont open anymore

Hey you all,
I want to add some changes to one of my projects in Imovie. But the project I'm working on wont open anymore in the library. I can play it, but I can't click the button 'change project' anymore. And it's only the case of this one particular project. Have I locked something? How do I undo this?
Cheers for helping!
Stef

Your processor speed and RAM? How much disk space is left?
Have you tried deleting the Motion file?

My iMovie isn't opening in Lion 10.7.1

I upgraded to OS X Lion on my Mid 2010 27inch iMac when it first came out, iMovied opended and worked great. Recently it wont open at all, should I retaill iLife 11 or reinstall Lion??
If anyone has any answer please let me know.
Thanks,

OK there is a simple test to see if the issue is system wide or related your user account. Create a new user account (call it Test Account) and don't make ANY changes to it. Then log into that account and see if you can run iMovie. If you can then you know the issue is related to your account and if not then you know it's a system wide problem.
If you don't know how to create a new user account go to System Preferences - Users & Groups and in the box on the left you will see a + -, click the + and follow the prompts.

Imovie 06 wont play on new computer with the upgrade to 08

I created a slideshow movie in imovie 06, and then burnt it to a dvd using idvd 06. Now my friend wants to view it and the file wont open on her computer (using the ilife 08 suite). Does this make sense? is there a work around?

Hi
Use iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4)
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4) : http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.
