IMovie "lost" two clips in my 20-minute project, but I did NOT delete any clips...?!?!?

This is for iMovie on iPhone 4.
Basically I've put HOURS into editing a 20-minute movie on my phone. This is intentionally on my phone just for the sake of being able to say "I shot these clips and photos and edited the movie entirely on my phone", in case you're wondering why I'd do this crazy task. haha
Anyway.. so.. I load up the project today (after having not looked at it for months) and now suddenly two clips are shown as no longer being existant. Now.. I definitely have NOT removed these clips - in fact a quick check with Image Capture (or simply looking in my photo album) proves that they are ALL still on the phone.
Is there any way for, for one thing, to see what exact filename (like IMG_0123.MOV) the clips were? Or SOMETHING? It would honestly take me a couple of hours to track down the exact clips because of how many different video clips are in this movie, and I'd have to eliminate them one by one. Not to mention having to re-place them into the movie manually and *try* to remember how I had trimmed the clips. ARGH
Hope anyone can offer some help on this... definitely not impressed at all...

I've also manually gone through and visually counted every single file. There is not a single file missing in the numbering sequence ( IMG_0640 all the way to IMG_0936 ).
The ONLY thing I can think of is that, a week or so ago, the iPhone randomly decided to "rebuild your photo library" for some reason (probably because I have a few thousand photos/clips). However, ALL files are still present, so it would not make sense that iMovie randomly can't see files that are certainly there....

How can I download my past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs that I purchased they say that the orginal files are gone but I did not delete them

How can I download past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs it says that the orginal files can not be located. They are still available in the store but it doesn't give me the option to download them. I did not delete any songs or files but I am missing a lot of files

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Note also that if iTunes has an entry for a song, even if that entry is broken, then it won't offer that track for download since it "thinks" you already have it. If you can't find the original files or recover them from a device, then you may need to delete the broken entries, close iTunes and reopen before you can access the past purchases.

Within the last hour, I noticed that my older MacBook Pro, while I was playing it in iTunes, lost contrast on the screen. I am sorry, but I did not take exact notes on this event. Around the same time, I did do a back up, uploaded software, etc.

I'm using two MacPros simultaniously, the old one for iTunes, and the new one for the other things. My new one has no problems, so am wondering if there is an easy way to correct the older MacPro's contrast problems. The computer is over three years old, and I'm wondering also if this failure is an aging sign. (I also have other problems, such as a noisy DVD drive, which is part of the reason I bought a new MacBook Pro.)

Is the older MBP a pre-Unibody model from early 2008? If so, it could be having this problem:

If so, you would be entitled to a free repair.
The lost contrast could be considered distorted video.
Do you have an external monitor? If the external shows the same lost contrast, the graphics chip is likely the culprit. If the external is OK, then you probably have an issue with the built in display or possibly with its connections.
You may also want to check in Universal Access to see if the contrast bar is set in its normal position (all the way to the left).
Apple has a special test they can run to diagnose the NVIDIA issue, so if you have access to an Apple Store, make an appointment at the genius bar to have it run.
Good luck!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried the 'Purchased' option in the top right corner of the Store window in iTunes

HT204053 Can I back up two computers to iCloud with the same Apple ID and not lose any data?

Hi. I have a macbook air which is all set to back up on iCloud.
My iMac has much more data and I wish to set it up as well.
Will iCloud know these are two different computers or will it overwrite one with the other's data?
I guess the main question is, do I need two Apple IDs and should I treat them as two separate accounts.
Many thanks.

Hi...
If you delete the backups it will not delete any content from their device, however the data will be removed from iCloud.
It will also prevent the devices from backing up to iCloud in future, unless this is re-enabled.

You need to restore.
Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.

Stupid Question :) I took some video on my iphone but I did not flip the phone horizontally - have I screwed up the sizing and it will never import into imovie to edit it?

You can do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21859
Also, MPEG Streamclip can rotate video while maintaining the aspect ratio as well as the interlacing when converting to DV, which is what iMovie prefers as an input:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
There is also a plug-in for iMovie from GeeThree called rotate/scale that might do the job:

its very important files!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*
