IMOVIE not starting up!

Hi There,
Strange one this..been using imovie fine for months...then today tried to open it...and nothing happens!!!
Any ideas?
thanks

Hi Johnathan,
Try the rudamentary fixes first.
Delete the iMovie preference file - imovie.plist
Run the permmissions repair utility.
You could even try running a cache cleaner like Onyx (link attached - Open it and run 'Automation')
Onyx - http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
Try these first and post back.

Imovie not starting on my mbp

Hi,
I had my macbook pro 13in 2.26mhz, nvidia 9400, 10.6.1... for a couple of weeks now. Today I try to open Imovie for the first time and I get a message saying that my video card does not support quartz extreme...!?!...is that so? or what should i do?
Thanks in advance.
Juan

It only required a reboot to fix it.

An update of iMovie failed with the message "an error has occurred." That message remains posted by iMovie on the Mac App Purchases page. iMovie is now unavailable. It will not start, update, or reinstall from purchases page. How reinitialize app?

Thank you again. Here's the console messages from trying to open iMovie and then opening the App Store. Clicking on the iMovie icon in App Store purchases and clicking on check for unfinished downloads:

Imovie song does not start at the beginning after I edited the duration of the clip

my imovie song does not start at the begining after I edited the duration of my clips. The audio clip now starts in the middle of the song. This is occuring with the second song in my video. How do I adjust the audio to start at the beginning of the song.

For pop ups. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Select: Block pop-up windows
safari starts always with top page even I have apple.com as a starting window
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the General tab. You can reset your homepage from there.
history its not saving or at least not showing when i press the thingy that looks like a little book on the tools bar
That icon represents your Bookmarks not history.
To view history, from your Safari menu bar click History > Show History
Or Option + Command + 2 on your keyboard.

IMovie will not start up

All of a sudden my iMovie would not start up when i clicked in in the dock. I have force quit it after it wouldnt work and try again but doesnt work. I have already tried restarting my laptop and also deleting iMovie and re-downloading it.

I would suggest that you trash the iMovie Preference file. (com.Apple.iMovieApp.plist) Then try to start iMovie again.
For instructions see my post here.

During Import, scene breaks are not starting new clip.

Imovie HD: When importing from my camcorder (Mini DV) scene breaks are not starting new clips. The video is going into one clip which I then have to manually split each scene into individual clips before editing.
My preferences are set to: Import/Start a new clip at each scene break=ON..
The last time I used Imovie4, this same thing occurred. Prior to that, in Imovie4, it worked as advertised.
Could it be my camera settings?? Panasonic PV-DV910

Problem solved.
I normally do not have the date and time displayed in the camera's viewfinder. So, I didn't realize that the date/time had been reset to 1998 and not active. After setting to date/time to the present, NEW recording - when imported - was being split into individual clips at the scene breaks.
However the previously recorded video would not.
My punishment for my lapse is to manually do the "split". But I am a much wiser videographer.

Mac will not start up - Start up Disc is Full

I switched on my Mac tonight and it will not start up when I try to log in i just get a white screen
I have tried to get into the utility but I am a bit lost as there is no way to get into the HD to remove the files from the HD to enable the machine to start up.
anyone know what to do?

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
http://www.omnigroup.com/more
Also, Find Any File
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Moving iTunes library
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Moving iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Moving iMovie projects folder

Good Luck!

IBook will not start up - solid black screen

I am in love with my iBook and have not had a single problem with it the first sixteen months I had it. This morning I was using it and everything was fine, I put it to sleep, then it fell from a desk onto my foot. It fell at an angle, but my foot broke the fall. After that it does not start up, but remains in a solid black screen. The caps lock and number lock lights change when the appropriate buttons are pushed, but the power button does nothing, there is no sound, no fan, nothing.
When the battery is in, the power cord light is amber, but when I remove the battery, it goes to green. I have tried starting with the battery in and without it. The computer is slightly warm on the bottom. Also, the four lights on the battery are constantly lit, which I never noticed before.
Naturally I created an iMovie for a Christmas gift that I have not yet burned, so I want to resolve this asap.
Please offer suggestions! I'm not the most technically minded person, so layman's terms would be much appreciated. I looked through 20some pages of posts, but none of the suggestions seemed to help.
I do have the disks that came with the computer, but when I tried to insert a dvd, the computer would not even accept it all the way and did nothing to respond.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Cricket419,
Welcome to the forum.
I was told I can never buy one. Ever. Nice customer service there. I'm sure they know the majority of the warranties are never used, so I was offering pure profit for basically nothing on their part. As much as I love my computer, I'll think twice next time if this is how they respond to customers' requests to purchase additional items.
On the other hand; the flip-side of the coin as it were, there's this post from someone with a totally opposite experience from you:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1348953#1348953
Specifically the following, from The TKDKid:
He spoke to the store manager, who authorized an exchange for a brand new one. They asked me if I could leave it for a couple of hours, and transferred all my files and personal settings to the new one. I was very pleased with the service I got.
I'm glad that your iBook is working again. With regards to AppleCare we all have 1 year from the date of purchase to buy it. It's up to us to decide and to remember to buy AppleCare during this period should we choose to do so. If we forget, then it's our fault and we have to own the fact that it's our fault, accept it and move on. It's not Apple's responsibily or fault.
If you have Home Contents Insurance then an option for you is to add the iBook to the items covered. Some (most?) home contents insurances automatically include repairs/replacement to computer damage (including any damage caused by accident). That would solve your cover queries. Wouldn't it?

Video clips not starting at scene breaks

When exporting to iMovie5, video clips did not start at each scene break. I checked Preferences and "start a new clip at each scene break" was activated. In "Help" it suggested I reset the time on the camera. It had the correct date, but was off by 1 hour. I reset the camera time and test exported a portion of the original video, but still not breaking at the different scenes. I do have 4 very large clips, and will proceed by "splitting at the playhead", but this is onerous and not conducive to effective editing. Any other steps I may take to get clips out of the existing video?

Sorry for not responding earlier, away until now. The video I imported into iMovie was straight from the camera. Shot as normal with each individual scene recorded. More than one scene may or may not have been shot in any given sequence, before the camera was shut-down. Each scene would have had its individual timecode, but they were not recognized by iMovie. I had 4-clips when there should have been over 100. The camera is a Canon, digital video camcorder (Optura) and imported via firewire. It's a mystery.

Imovie not importing photos properly

Imac running Snow Leopard, 4Gig RAM. Have started an event and dragged in some video scenes, now when I add photos from the iphoto gadget, the photos don't show up when I'm previewing the movie. Each time I drag a new photo onto the event list, the image of the photo reverts to the first photo I've dragged in, and they don't play upon previewing the movie. I've done this dozens of times on my other IMAC running Leopard, but for some reason I can't get it to work on this IMAC. Any ideas? I've tried rebooting and same thing happens. The only different thing I have done is that I copied over the template event from my other IMAC into the drop box of this IMAC and then copied it into the imovie events folder and loaded Imovie and started using it.

I wish I had an answer for you, but sadly, the same thing happens to me. I've had this happen multiple times using Mac Mini with OS X 10.5.8. Another issue similar to this one is that the photo will just show up as BLACK--nothing else. Wish we could both get some help on this, but I'm not holding my breath...

IMovie not Task Finishing API compliant?

Created a movie in iMovie for iPhone 4. Started the export process. Progress bar is about halfway. Double-click Home button. Taskbar appears. I select Safari, browse around for a bit. Double-click Home button again. Select iMovie from the Taskbar. Progress bar progress gone, back to the beginning.
It finished exporting, however, even though I never saw the progress bar reach the end. My theory is the progress bar resets each time but it's actually progressing. So, maybe just a visual glitch, where the program forgets to keep the progress bar in the last state before switching apps?

Hi Sabari,
A) Verify if c$ Admin share is enabled
1. Enable administrative share for C$ (Please check with your System Admin to do this or See Microsoft document http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314984)
2. Check that it is ok:
- net use \\<hostname>\c$ should work
- the current user (i.e. user in administrator group) should have all privileges on the default share
3. Retry the installation
4. Remove the administrative share again
B) Check if Windows services "OracleRemExecService" is running
Check if Windows services "OracleRemExecService" is running and if its running then follow below documentaion
Note 1580119.1 Installation On the Same Windows x64 (64-bit) Server Of Oracle12c Release 1 Client(32-bit Or 64-bit) Failed: "[INS-30131] Initial Setup Required For The Execution Of Iinstaller Validations Failed"
C) Check if Windows Service “Server” is not running
Check if Windows Service “Server” is started on the system , if not started then start it as mentioned in below documentation
Note ID 1610775.1 Oracle Database/Client installation results in “INS-30131 ….validations failed” on windows 7
And here is the master note for installation issues on 12c
Master Note For Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1) Database/Client Installation/Upgrade/Migration Standalone Environment (Non-RAC) (Doc ID 1520299.1)
Hope this helps.
Thank,

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
Regards,
Vicky Liu

Can not start data Collection service

I have installed Fabric Manager version 3.3.(4). In the Performance Web Client I can not start the service Data Collection is in starting forever.
I also could not stop it. I rebooted the server and the status for this service is in starting.

Please provide more details like: Server OS, Java version, and what type of database you are using for the FM Server. Have you considered using a newer version of FM Server?
