IMovie Project will not accept more data (music)

I am having trouble adding data (background music from iMovie 9.0.4) into a large project of HD football video clips (53 minutes). No errors appear, it just gets very slow. I have a Macbook Pro with 8gb Ram. How do I add music to the whole Project?

The Virb can produce other formats too, but I used 1080p 30fps. Need to test with other formats. However, now as I know it is not a problem of the new mobile imovie version, this is Okay for me because I never ever would expect that a free software will cope with all video formats ;-). But I thought it worked before the update and now it doesn't. Seems this was a mistake, most likely I never used a virb video with mobile imovie before. On the Mac imovie works fine with virb files.
I currently use the photo app and mediathek simply to synchronize the photos to my devices iPhone, ipad and Mac. So all pictures and videos are on all devices. Hope apple will somehow allow to select which videos/pictures to sync, because after some time it will blow my storage at iPhone and iPad and there is no serious reason to sync all photos/videos.

  • Forgot password icloud email will not accept my date of birth to recover same

    I have forgotten my password for my icloud email.
    Tried recovery - an email has been sent - but where?
    Tried answering questions - will not accept my date of birth as being correct.
    Would appreciate help.

    I had this issue too yesterday. Both my account and my wifes account disappeared and you could not log into them, or reset them as the Date of Birth was not recognized. I am talking with Apple iTunes support.. They are getting quite a few calls like this, sounds like an change has gone wrong, maybe in conjunction with the roll out of 2 step verification. Painful waste of time on a Saturday to resolve this. Interestingly if you have an icloud account linked to your Apple ID and log into that and check your account info, you will see your actual email address as a weird prefix with the word 'disputed'.. A system issues for sure.

  • IMovie Project will not open

    i have a project i have been working of for weeks.  today i went to open the project in iMovie and the sould would not play, the red indicator line stayed stationary and nothing happened.  when i went to the Event Library, i could see the clips and the indicators that they had been imported.  When i attempted to play the clips in the event library, they would play but without sound.
    I quite iMove and tried to repair permissions, now the project refuses to open.  the issues i mentioned in the event library remain unchanged, but the project refuses to even open.
    i moved all files to an external HD and reopened iMovie.  iMove identified only one project, but can't tell which one but it would open play.  the Event Library had two files with the movie clips, but only one had the identifers of an import into a project.  Both of the event libraries would now play the clips with sound. 
    I quite iMovie and ejected the external HD then relunched iMovie.  the project that remained still would now not open or play and the sounds and the event library clips had no sound.  i could see the green indicators of sound in the meter but none came out of the speakers.....this seem to be the only project effected and it had just over 2 hours of movie time in it.
    I am running iMovie 11 (version 9.09 build 17950) on a macbook pro running OSX 10.8.3, 2.2 Ghz Intel Cor I7, 4GB RAM

    this was the post i found, i wish i could give this guy the credit on his post, so cut and paste of it was the next best thing.    As you can see from the post date, nearly 3 years later and the issue still exsists.  I don't think it effects many of us, but is worth knowing.

    Re: Help - iMovie doesn't react anymore 
    Jun 13, 2010 2:32 AM (in response to John Cogdell)
    I had a heck of a time today trying to figure this out, spent about 12 hours. This string helped me the most. I had to go a few steps further to get a total fix for iMovie and my project and thought this might be useful for others who have similar problems w/ iMovie. I have been working on a particularly large project with many, many clips in one Event Folder. Today all of the sudden the sound and playback wouldn't respond when I hit the space bar, I couldn't view anything at all in the window viewer, eventually iMovie wouldn't open at all, and all I would get is the spinning beach ball. Had to force quit a hundred times. What worked for me was: 1. Freed up some space on my hard drive by pulling other events (which were not tied to any completed movies) to external HD. This may not have anything to do w/ the fix, but I ain't leavin it out after what I went through today.
    2. With imovie closed, found where the Event Folder and associated Project I have been working on were saved on the hard drive...in my case I had them saved on the ext. HD. I highlighted the Event Folder and Project File separately, right clicked on each and moved them to trash. Remember-you are not deleting them by moving them to trash, just do NOT hit "Empty Trash". (If you drag somewhere else other than trash it will only create a copy and can take longer)
    3. Followed John's advice above by going to User Library>Preferences folder and dragging the files named com.Apple.iMovie7.plist, and com.Apple.iMovie8.plist to my desktop. For me at this point I was able to open iMovie and navigate through my other events and projects. Space bar worked for sound and playback, viewer worked, iMovie running pretty efficiently.
    4. I then went into my Trash folder, right clicked on the Events Folder and Project File separately and selected "Put Back" which places them right back in former location. I closed iMovie and re-opened.
    What I found is that iMovie was not responding well because I had too many clips in one event folder. And with those same files now back in iMovie it will not take long for it to start acting funky. So I broke the event into 3 folders. While in iMovie I created 3 empty Event folders by clicking on File/new event (you might just need 2). I titled them Sports 1, Sports 2, Sports 3. Even though I still couldn't play or hear the Event clips/ project clips for this project, I was able to highlight approx 1/3 of the EVENT clips (not Project clips) by holding down the shift key and pointing the arrow/cursor across the appropriate clips. With the Sports Project back in iMovie, your Event folder should still show the green and orange highlights for your "favorite" and "imported" clips and should allow you to copy only those clips to the new, empty EVENT folders. Once I had highlighted and dragged the Event clips across 3 new event folders I was back to normal...can play, view, and hear all Event Clips and the Project clips. Best of all, I didn't have to re-start my project - of which I have spent a lot more than 12 hours on.  I hope this helps someone. Thanks to all on this string for pointing me in the right direction.  Shawn

  • Imovie 11 will not adjust volume of music track

    So I put together a skit with background music and laugh tracks.  I shared a copy with a friend and he told me when he played it the volume of the background music and laugh track were too high.  I went back in and tried to adjust and even though I turned everything down (even to 0%) they still play at the same volume.  I have now removed all but the video clips. I removed any ducking and reverted back to the original settings. 
    Can anyone give me advice on how to make the adjustments?

    I think I found my answer.. I searched the internet looking for information on this issue.. and apparently, you are not supposed to drag music to the timeline. You only drag it to the background... an unexpected software change that renders all of the previous work on my movies invalid. I am going to have to go back into all of them and re-do my music.
    Sound effects (.CAF files) work on the timeline.
    Now.. I have another issue....
    My stills in the movie are locking it up...
    I have found clues that I have not yet investigated. It appears that you have to use iPhoto to organize your stills before you import them. We shall see if this works.
    As for versions...
    Identifier: com.apple.iTunes
    Version: 10.1 (10.1)
    Model Name: MacBook
    Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    And I have tried various music formats .mp3, .m4a, .acc and .m4p..
    Few of these songs are iTunes purchases. Many are direct imports from my CD collection.. Some are downloads from other sources...
    None of them will play when pasted to the timeline.

    Itunes is asking that I edit payment info, but will not accept any changes to allow me to purchase music? I have changed cards, reentered information, uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. Nothing is working, what do I need to do?

    See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sims chip...we are told.  We were advised that this model wound work in Euro

    I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sim chip...we are told.  An Apple store employee here said this model is good only in the US. The iPads here take a sim card. We were advised by an Apple Store Employee at home that this model would work in Europe and that we could buy our service here.  That does not seem to be the case.    We have been told that we must invest in a modem at 200.00€ and then purchase a separate service plan for each country. We can use the free wifi wherever it is available but we cannot connect to the outside world when out of range. Is there anything else we can do?
    Thanks, John

  • In Query mode, date items does not accepts more than 10 characters..Why?

    Dear All,
    In my form, While querying my date items, it does not accepts more than 10 Characters. Could it be changeable.
    Actually i want to search like greater than specified date( >01/01/2007 ).
    But i can specify like >01/01/07. After tabbing out from that item, it displays like >01/01/200.
    How to overcome this issue.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Balaji

    You are absoletely correct Francois!
    Previously i have made a mistake that both of my maximum length and query length property to 20. That time it was not worked. Now i changed my maximum length to the old one like 11 and i changed only the query length to 20.
    Now it is working. I understood the concept wrongly.
    Thanks Francois!

  • "Flash out of date" comes up, new install, and will not accept Password for install?  Next step?

    "Flash out of date" comes up, i do a new install, the log-in and password windows pops up, I type in password and it will not accept.
    I have changed password, confirmed password, rebooted several times, and it still will not re-insall new version.
    I am stuck.
    HELP!

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
    If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • MBP will not accept CD media, but plays DVDs fine...

    My Macbook Pro 17" (late 2008) will not accept any type of CD media, but will accept DVDs and plays DVD movies fine.
    Store-bought music CDs, CD-Rs & RWs I burned myself from iTunes, data CDs -- all simply eject shortly after insertion. I have tried using a laser lens cleaner (SkipDr, with cleaning brushes on the disc) but no luck.
    I see I'm not alone. Posted this in another thread earlier this week, and many others having the same problem. We all started having this problem at roughly the same time... Late May or so.
    Anyone have a clue what's up with this? Hoping for an OS patch or firmware fix, rather than a "buy a new drive" fix, natch!
    Thank you. Any help appreciated!

    Wow. Thanks for all your helpful, thoughtful and insightful replies! Lol.

  • IMovie '06 will not open - says a Quicktime update is required

    iMovie '06 will not open for me. I get a message saying that, "QuickTime update required - iMovie requires QuickTime version 7.5.0 or later, which can be downloaded from www.apple.com/quicktime." And the only button displayed is "Quit".
    The problem is, my QuickTime Player is already at Version 7.5 (149.5) (and beneath that it says 'QuickTime Version 7.5.0 (861)').
    Any idea how I can get iMovie '06 to realise that I do in fact have the up-to-date version of QuickTime?

    Hi Michael and welcome to the forums!
    Did you restart and repair permissions after updating Quicktime?
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.

    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • APple TV 2 will not accept my Itunes Password

    Since the recent upgrades I have not been able to get YouTube on my Apple TV2. A couple of days ago, I therefore reverted to Factory settings hoping that it would right itself when everything was reinstalled. Still can't get Youtube but worse than that the Tv will not accept my Itunes/Sharing Id and Password. Therefore can't see my photos, music, videos etc or download films.
    Spent 45 minutes on line to Apple Support yesterday but still not sorted. However, I can see the TV on the computer and can play music from itunes via an Ipad to the Apple TV oK.
    Apple think it might be my router (D-Link DKT-710 Wireless G) but the local Apple store is not convinced this would make any difference.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi
    Yes I have restarted router. I switched everything off for over an hour, everything disconnected. Don't think firmware is up to date but can't see away of doing it.
