IMovie no longer working.....weird anomaly just before......

I was transferring some videos from my camera. The iMovie ap shut down during transfer. When I started it again it worked for a bit....
I then tried to download the camera videos again. It would not let me use the same event name...i use the date....it said it was already used(today) I then tried to use the date when videos were taken....also said was already used...use another.
thing is they dont exist on the side panel showing event library...
no biggie....
a bit later my screen (iMac 27") turns into a massive strobe light....and my second screen has artifacting going on...
tried restarting, stopping programs, etc...nothing works
needed to force power off by holding the power button
ok.....restart doing other stuff .....
finish all my other work
now to get back to getting the videos download....i start the ap....all i get is a black bar on the left.....blank white screen
only think is a clipped of import button and the other two to its right....
they dont work....
How do I delete or reinstall iMovie and keep all my videos safe?
Can I check on them with another program to see if they are trashed?
Wow.....gotta say Mavericks has been a disaster.......never had problems with previous operating system

What version of iMovie? 10, 9.0.9, or what?

Since I updated my Mac to OS Yosemite, the scanner on my MX920 no longer works. I just get a questio

Since I updated my Mac to OS Yosemite, the scanner on my MX920 no longer works. I just get a question mark in My Image Garden. It was working fine before the upgrade.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi lalyc,
Reinstalling the printer using the latest drivers from the Canon USA website should get the scanner up and running.
Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX922. Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click on the CUPS driver file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded and installed the CUPS driver file from the website, please also install all other items from the RECOMMENDED FOR YOU and DRIVERS section of the website. To install the rest of the software that comes with the printer, please follow the steps above, except for in step 2 you will want to click on the red arrow next to the "SOFTWARE" section instead of the RECOMMENDED FOR YOU section to locate and download the software.
Once all items have been downloaded, please double-click on each of the items on your Mac to install them. If you plan on using the printer wirelessly, please be sure to install the Canon IJ Network Tool last after all other software has been installed; it should be the very last item installed. Once all items have been installed, please restart your Mac and attempt to scan.
Hope this helps!

My headphone jack no longer works. I just upgraded software and did all the iCloud install.

my headphone jack no longer works. I just upgraded software and did all the iCloud install. Any ideas?

It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

My iMovie no longer works "PowerPC applications no longer supported"

My iMovie (v. 9.09) no longer works on my MacBook pro with osx 10.7.5, when I try to open the app I get the message "PowerPC applications no longer supported". I tried upgrading, but the mac store says I need osx 10.9 to upgrade. help!

You might try converting the .mp3 files to AIFF 16bit @ 48kHz Stereo just to see if it's a file format problem. AIFF requires iMovie to do much less work to play it back or do any adjustments on it. Easiest way to convert would be to download Audacity and just Export to AIFF I think.

Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts on the F1-F12 keys no longer work as they did before.

Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts on the F1-F12 keys no longer work. I used to press just the F12 key and I would be able to raise the volume, now it switches to the home page. I want the old shortcuts back and I don't know how to do that. Please help.

Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro
updated from what to what?
Suggest you try a NVRAM / PRAM reset, as described by Apple:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

ITunes music on iMovie no longer works (iTunes 7)

I just upgraded to itunes 7 and now the music i had on an imovie does not work - saying the computer is not authorized (but it is!!!).
The same song on itunes is fine - imovie does not play that song!
Help.

Same problem. I created my iMovie project on my iMac (G5), stored it on my LaCie drive which I then plugged in to my Mini so I could burn it to a DVD. Now I'm told I'm not authorized to use the two songs in the project - but only on my Mini. I just updated all the Mac software on the Mini tonight, and it still does not work.
I have OS 10.4.7 on every mac I own, and all the software levels are the same on every computer. However, the Mini is an Intel, and my other stuff is G5. Does that make a difference?
The project is Christmas greetings from home for the troops in Iraq, and it's my daughter's 4H project. We have to mail the DVDs by December 1 in order to get them to Iraq by Christmas, so I urgently need some answers.
Thanks!

Help, iMovie has quit working. It just freezes when opened.

I put my many projects in a different folder because iMovie 11 was freezing and I couldn't accomplish anything. I put 1 project in at a time and it worked great for 5-6 projects. Then I wanted to combine 5 projects into one. To do that I found if I put the 5 projects in iPhoto I could then find them in the event library window and drag them to the project area, edit the volume and export to iTunes as one movie. However, now putting one project in the project folder results in nothing but a frozen iMovie I have to force quit. Oh yea, you have to close iMovie and reopen it to get the new project to show up or at least that worked for awhile. I trashed the preference for iLife and cleaned up premissions. Any other ideas to get the thing to work and loose the spinning ball....?

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.
Yours Bengt W

Ever since I downloaded the iOS 6 update, my car stereo no longer works like it did before

My Pioneer car stereo worked exactly like it was supposed to with my iPhone 4s. By syncing to the car stereo, I could listen to all of my music on my iPhone and receive Pandora in the car. Since I downloaded the iOS 6 update two weeks ago, my car stereo has basically become inert, no longer syncs to my iPhone and has turned my expensive car stereo into a glorified CD player. I googled this problem first and noticed many other people had the exact same problem that I have. Since I can't undo the iOS 6 update (****, I wish I could), is there anyone out there with a similar problem and is there anything to remedy this problem. I will never download an Apple update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would love to see an update on issues like this.
I have the pioneer avh-3400bh. Prior to iOS6 on my iphone 4, everything worked as it should. Upon updating to ios6 on the 4, and now also with the iphone 5, my head unit will play BT audio, but it receives no track/data information. Using USB, I can no longer use my phone to browse songs, I can only use the head unit control. the phones tell me that an accessory is connected and won't allow me to do anything. Same for the pandora app

"Mac Help" no longer works. It just spins and spins and spins.

Sony MDR-NC31EM No longer working as headphones, just mic

Tried with support but they couldn't replicate the issue, whenever I plug my MDR-NC31EM headphones in my phone it thinks it's a mic so no sound is played through them, at first I thought it was just the headphones themselves so I ordered a new pair but the new ones act just the same way, I don't believe it's a hardware problem since all other headphones I've tried work like they should, the problem also did occur at the same time as I updated to 4.4.4 so I'm wondering if it's a bug or something, does anybody else have the same issue? I did a software repair as adviced by the support at Sony but that didn't work, I don't know what to do, now I'm here with 100 bucks worth of headphones I can't use!

@munkiz
Glad to hear that it works now
@LondonZ2
Sorry to hear that you have this issue as well.
Could you please send me a PM with the information i asked for earlier?

What happened to the indexing of addresses. It no longer works like it did before

I have for years been able to add addresses to emails by typing usually the first letter of the name. Since the last update I have to type sometimes 3 letters of the name to get the right address to show up. I thought it would improve with use but it hasn't change. Please go back to the old indexing or what ever you had before. If I want Dave, I have to type dav or it brings up Sandy.. Go figure
Thanks
Jim Knittle

Thanks razmee209,
My Bad, upon further perusal, and putting my glasses on, I too found it again. Sorry for the false alarm.

I'm dying to upgrade to Lion. But I know some appls will no longer work. I just switched from Quicken to iBank. How can I find out what else I'm going to use? Is there a way on system profile? A specific 'kind' of application?

Is there a way, in profiler? maybe to find out which programs I'll lose when i upgrade? I've already switched from Quicken to iBank. But I'd like to know in advance i I'm going to lose anything else important!

Browse to the Mac page at http://roaringapps.com/. There you'll find hundreds (thousands?) of Mac applications listed with indications as to Lion compatibility.
Surely, there's more to Lion compatibility than merely whether the app is "Intel" or "Universal", as opposed to "PowerPC" (as shown under Software > Applications in System Profiler).
It's a bit surprising that nobody seems to have done an app that scans your system then looks up Lion compatibility at roaringapps.

HP Support Assistant is no longer working

HP Support Assistant is no longer working
It appears just before and after upgrade to windows 8.1
If you try to uninstall (in order to reinstall) you get Error 1316.
I noticed many HP users have the same problem that after upgrade to Windows 8.1 HP Support Assistant is not working anymore
I expect from HP a new installer that solves the problem, otherwise the service of HP means nothing!

hi there, mine is doing the exact same thing. I hope they get this problem fixed, it hasn't worked for a long time now.

IPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie don't work with Leopard

Hi, I just installed Leopard onto my machine and iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie no longer work properly. For all three I get the error message "(This program) has unexpectedly quit." Can you help?

my husband was having the same problem and it even bled into his sys prefs. the problems actually started after he ran software update last night (things were working find before that, and he's running leopard btw)
he archived and reinstalled (he unchecked the "preserve users and settings box") and we're about to find out if that solved it.
to summarize, you may need to reinstall if software update doesn't fix it. not sure what caused this problem. perhaps some corruption of files?
