Imovie not functioning

I have IMovie 08. When I try to do something within the programma (copying or cutting or anything) I get the rainbow turning wheel and I have to force stop the program. IMovie functioned until a week ago.

Thanks so much for trying to help me with this. I'm not really sure what codecs are. I opened several clips in Quicktime, a few that I know work in iMovie and a few that I know don't work. Then I went to Window/Show Movie Inspector like you said but I don't see anything about audio and video codecs. Could they be called something else? Under the "Show Movie Inspector" I saw "Show A/V Controls" so I clicked on that, though I'm not sure if that is the same thing. It showed the volume levels were normal (and the same on the clips that work and the clips that don't).
So, maybe the audio visual codecs are called something else? Because I'm not seeing that anywhere..
Thanks again!

Help - iMovie not functioning properly

I have had my MacBook for several months now and have been using iMovie without any problems. Unfortunately, today, the program started acting up. I was importing movies and everything seemed to be going okay.. then, (forgive me if I don't know the technical terms for the different parts of the program) but the clips kind of disappeared - not from the events section but from the place where you drag and drop the clips to actually create the video. I had to click on the title of a different project and then click back on the title of the project I was working on for the clips to show up again. Then, I proceeded to try and add a new clip selection to my project but it wouldn't take. It showed the vertical green line like it knew I wanted to place a clip there, but it wouldn't take the clip.
Now, only videos that contain photos/movie clips that I uploaded from my own camera will play. Videos that contain movie clips that I downloaded from the internet, and then uploaded to iMovie (for the purpose of making fanvideos) won't play in the preview screen. And when I click on those clips themselves, there is NO audio.
I have no clue what has caused this so I'm sorry if my explanation is confusing and a little all over the place. I did a systems update this morning and I'm not sure if that would have had anything to do with it or not.. I have no idea how to fix this and I have gone through pages and pages of iMovie support topics and have not found anything to help.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would SO greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help

Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
Many thanks.

Transitions, Photos, Music, Text buttons do not function. How to fix/troubleshoot the issue?

I'm trying to perform edits onto one of my videos and trying to insert text, transitions, and music. Unfortunately, the buttons to open those menus do not function any more. They only grey out like they would normally when clicked and that is it. Thus far I've tried to close and re-open the app, and I have not had any luck searching online for a solution (maybe I was looking in the wrong places or wrong ways?). Anyone else run into this situation or have a solution/troubleshooting help?
Thanks.

Oops, sorry, forgot about that. I have a early-2011 Macbook Pro. OSX 10.8.4 and iMovie 9.0.9

Help!!! Built in iSight Not Functioning on Brand New 24" iMac

I just purchased an iMac 24" 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor computer, and the built-in iSight camera will not function.
The store that I bought the computer from, informed me prior to purchase that several previous customers experienced the same problem, and that I should return to the store should I experience the same thing.
Is there a software fix for this????
Is there a preference fix for this???

As stated. I followed the Apple Support webpage instruction listed below. Still no success. My isight will not function with any other application (ie. iChat, iMovie, PhotoBooth, etc...)\
G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
1. See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
2. See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
4. Reset SMC or PMU Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Photosmart c309a- 'The wireless radio is not functioning, contact HP support'

My Photosmart c309a wont connect wirelessly. Upon running the wireless network test, the report states, and I quote "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support". The report then states the following:
Wireless on PASS
Wireless working FAIL
and everything following that stated as 'not run'.
Ive searched for other threads on the subject, and the only sloutions I can find are unplug the printer and plug it back in to reset it (made no difference), and try the HP print and san doctor (link was dead, found it manually and didnt work as it cant connect to or even see the printer on the network).
So the question is, is this a hardware fault, and if so what can be done about it?

Hello,
Yes, it is an hardware issue and indicates that the Wireless card is not functional.
Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .
If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.

Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer. I activiated CS3 on the new computer. However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

Thanks, that worked.

Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam is not functioning properly.

Hello everyone,
as the title says, the integrated webcam of my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 is not functioning properly. Allow me to explain. Using the Camera Assistance Software I can take photo's and record music. If I try to record a video the preview screen turns up black and the end result tuns out black aswell, completely black.
Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or at community websites using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the application in question crashes.
*How did this happen?*
You tell me. This is how it went;
* Day 1: I've started up my laptop and looked at my fresh and clean install of windows vista home premium. I tried out my webcam using the webcam assistance software and it worked like a charm.
* Day 2: Once again I boot up my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that it no longer functions.
To give a quick summary of the thread;
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can take pictures.
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can record sound.
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can _*NOT*_ record or preview a video.
* I can not start my camera using any other application such as but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
* I have downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers from the Toshiba website.
* My laptop is about a week old.
I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam to work, if anyone can help me out please do so.
And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
I haven't even used it and wouldn't want to make that a solution for all the problems that might occur in the future.
Sincerely,
a sad customer.

Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can NOT record or preview a video.
Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I must ask you this because it runs well on my notebook. When the recording is finished player opens and you can see recorded movie. It is avi format and at the top of this player you can see the path where the movie is saved.
Most strange thing for me is that you cannot use it with Skype. Ok for MSN is not the perfect but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Check the settings and it must work somehow.

Keyboard+trackpad not functioning at all on HP 2000 Notebook PC! please help!

Tonight I turned on my laptop (HP 2000 Notebook PC) to find that the Keyboard and track pad was not responding, the only thing that worked was the wireless mouse.
I can not find the product number but the name is HP 2000 Notebook PC, the operating system is Windows 8, I can't login to see if there are any error messages, the last thing I remember doing was trying to apply a new cursor image and it told me to restart and when I did I couldnt log back in or type anything at all, I could only use the mouse.
Also the things I have tried to do are: Restart Computer, Take out batter and restart. (I cant do much because I can't type in password)
All help will be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: I logged in using the On-Screen Keyboard, it seems like a hardware malfunction and not a virus because i cant find anything in my downloaded stuff that wasnt there before. So it is just a hardware malfunction.
UPDATE #2: it says that the driver (for keyboard and touchpad) may be corrupt or missing and it says Code 39 in parenthesis.

Hello Oceanlife,
You state that the keyboard and touchpad are not functioning, that is correct? I will try to assist you with this issue.
As of today are you still having this problem?
If you have, any more questions do not hesitate to ask. .
Thanks

Fairly certain that FileStream.writeObject() and FileStream.readObject() do not function - at all -.

I've struggled with this since Jan 9th, 2013 (if not longer) and the only conclusion I can come to is that this simply does not function. No matter what I try and no matter what resource (and I'm finding precious few) I follow to try to implement this within Flash Builder 4.7, Flex SDK 4.6.0 (Build 23201), AIR SDK 3.5, I only succeed in creating a file (with the correct name) that is 123 bytes in size that reads back in as NULL;
I've tried using ByteArray.writeObject()/readObject() as an intermediary with FileStream.writeBytes()/readBytes(), with no luck.
I've tried instantiating an object, setting properties and then using that. I've tried instantiating my correctly formed ValueObject (including the remoteClass alias metadata tag).
I've tried using -verbatim- the example provided in the top most suggested 'Community Help' resource http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/adobe-air-and-flex-saving-serialized-objects-to-f ile It is worth noting that this solitary example of the procedure/SDK-usage is dated to Flex SDK 3.0 and at least 04/04/2009 (first comment on the article).
My frustrating hell (one version of many methods attempted) is detailed on StackOverflow (including -all- mxml, as, and trace output), but so far, no assistance has been forthcoming, alas. This is a severely stripped down and simplified version of what had been a far more complex attempt:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14366911/flex-air-actionscript-mobile-file-writeobject- readobject-always-generates-null-w
An earlier post* detailing a far more complex attempt interation, with, alas, just as little help (guess this isn't a hot button topic) forthcoming:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14259393/flex-actionscript3-filestream-writeobject-fail s-silently-in-ios-what-am-i-doin
* I previously suspected that it was only failing from within iOS on an iPad, but the first example (the stripped down version) made it evident that it didn't work in the AIR mobile device simulator (iPad) in the Windows environment, and indeed, didn't work in a non-mobile project in the windows environment AIR launcher.
I'm at a loss, upset, frustrated, in major trouble with my supervisor/deadlines, etc.
I would very much appreciate any suggestions/help/confirmation/etc.
Just to move ahead with development I've opted for a far less preferable solution of writing out both an XML file and a JPG file. I very much do not like this and very much want to store encapsulated serialized objects locally in the same way I assume will work for storing remotely with AMFPHP (if the project ever gets to that point *sigh*).
Again. Would be so grateful for any help.

I want to add to this post as I marked it as "The Answer" though it does not indeed contain the answer directly, for those who come looking for simliar solutions.
harUI prompted me to realize that my metadata term needed to be capitalized (RemoteClass instead of remoteClass). As the metadata tags may be user defined, the compiler throws no errors (or warnings *grumble*)
package vo
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
   // [remoteClass(alias="PTotmImageVO")] incorrect
   [RemoteClass(alias="PTotmImageVO")]
    public class PTotmImageVO

Multi-touch display is not functioning as normal

multi-touch display is not functioning as normal on the right half of the screen....

Hi James,
Thx for the quick reply...
I have already tried most of these troubleshooting steps but no go....
Also, when you tap or use only the right half of the screen, the touch display is inconsistent and makes a wierd sound [ like a hollow tub or something ] and it's not a cosmetic issue...
----Apple store / Authorized Service Center is still working on this ongoing issue with no results and still not confirming for the iphone replacement...Thnx..

HP Photoprinter C7280 printer. The wireless radio is on but not functioning - so no wifi conection.

HP Photoprinter C7280 printer. The wireless radio is on but not functioning - so am unable to gain wifi connection and print! - Why? How do I fix, Thanks

I would guess that the printer's wireless radio has died. Have you tried plugging the printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable? It should work and give you the same functions as wireless. Your computer or router will not care how the printer is connected.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

Can't detect or connect to my wireless network - Diagnostics says wireless radio is not functioning.

Couldn't print; computer said printer was not connected. Tried to reconnect to wireless network, couldn't connect. Ran the Wireless Network Test Report, which said "the wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support."

Follow the instructions in the manual to reset the printer back to Factory Defaults. Now check the wireless radio status again. If the same, use the front panel to navigate and attempt to enable the wireless radio. Again, check the status after. If it still says it is not functioning, the wireless radio is indeed defective.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.
If my post resolved your problem, please mark it as an Accepted Solution ...
