IMovie reinstall help please
i'm not sure how, but i seem to have lost imovie from my macbook (about 1 1/2 years old). it's not listed in the applications folder, and the imovie folder in the library is empty. my questions:
1. if i can find my install disks, can I reinstall imovie without reinstalling the entire operating system?
2. If i can't find my install disks, can i buy iLife '08 and install that? Does it matter if part or all of the original (older version) iLife files are present when installing '08?
3. are there any freeware or free-trial alternatives for a quick fix - i need to transfer video from a miniDV camcorder to my macbook this weekend and i'm not sure how else to do it besides using iMovie.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
1. Yes. You may be given the option to perform a custom install of iMovie; if not, use Pacifist to extract it.
2. Yes, you can use the retail package.

Itunes stopping working even after reinstall - help please
I have not been able to access / watch anything stored on my iTunes on my laptop. every time I click on it I get the following message: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.
Can anyone help? I've tried the QTMovieWin.dll advice but its still not working?
CheersHi Ellenred,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have already done some great troubleshooting. Did you remove not only iTunes but all of its components in Windows as well when you reinstalled? When you remove and reinstall iTunes, all components must be removed in order to ensure it works properly when reinstalled. If you have already done this, please let me know. If you need to go through this process please use the information provided in the articles below.
I am not sure what version of Windows you have so I will include articles for all versions starting with XP and up.

Hi
I am using iMovie 08 and over the weekend could drag an image over a film clip and it would show the image whilst you could still hear the film sound. Very much the same as an overlay. Now however it simply shows a solid blue line above the film to represent the photo. I can change the duration of this.
The problem is that the image does not show at all. I really want the sound to the video but at parts overlay a still photo. How do I do this please? I have searched these forums and can confirm that I have Advanced Features turned on. I have searched for Overlay in the help menu and go zero results. I need to complete this project very soon so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.The above poster was right and wrong in iMovie 08 the split clip option is not there but they is a way around it. I'll give a more detailed instruction. To place multiple image overlay in a project you will need to have multiple clips. Now iMovie doesn't make this easy. You will need to separate the clip by picking sections and highlighting about 0.1 secs then right click and choose delete selection this will automatically split the clip into two. Continue to do this with each section you wish to have a new overlayed image. Then simply drag from iPhoto the image you wish to be overlayed on each clip. i hope this help. The only problem I have is the fact I can not figure out how to add effects to image overlays, this is a feature that need to put back in.

This is kind of complicated, but basically my Mac OSX laptop's hardrive recently crashed, but I got a new one and used a passport to put all of my old Word docs, iTunes, photos, and movies back onto the new hardrive. Everything was working fine until I tried to use iMovie. I filmed two new videos in Photobooth, imported those into iPhoto and then prepared to go to iMovie to import the new videos (that was my system) so I could make them Youtube-compatible. However, at first iMovie wanted to make thumbnails of ALL my videos (up until then I had just assumed all of my old 50 videos were buried in my iPhoto?), but I just dismissed that and agreed to it, and it gave me the memo that it would take 4 hours to do, but that was alright... UNTIL I got a pop-up thingy saying that "iMovie is not authorized to play this content. Open with iTunes to view" (something along those lines) and then the rainbow wheel of death appeared and I had to force-quit. I tried this three times. I finally checked on iTunes to discover that all my old movies had transferred over to iTunes. That hadn't been that way before. I would prefer to have them on iMovie/iPhoto, and I NEED to be able to use iMovie to edit and such. Can anyone explain to me what might be going on and offer a quick fix (if there is one?)? Sorry for the lengthy explanation! Also, if this requires a visit to the Apple store, in the meantime, is it possible to upload a video to Youtube from iTunes (one that I made, not purchased from iTunes)?
Pretty please someone answer!Well Authorize the Computer...........

Cannot export iMovie project - Help please
When I try to share the project I've worked on for over a week, I get the following ...
However, that event is in the iMovie library.
The only thing that happened differently this time is that I mistakenly deleted the event files from the event library before I exported the project to save disk space. But once I found out I needed the event clips in iMovie in order to share the project, I found out the clips are still in User > Movies > iMovie Events > British Isles Cruise 2013, so I imported them back into my Event Library in iMovie. So the Event and all the clips are back in iMovie, but I'm still getting the above error, as if iMovie doesn't realize the event is still there, and I cannot share or do anything with my project other than view it in iMovie.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!you haven't renamed any files/folders?
just dragged them out of the Events folder, and back, right?
try this …
quit iMovie
goto Library/Preferences and trash com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
launch iMovie again ....

Trouble previewing photos shot with a Canon 20D in iMovie. Help please.
Hi out there. I have a photo library with images shot with two different digital cameras: Canon PowerShot 40 and Canon SRL 20D. For some reasons that I can't figure out, photos taken by the 20D can't be previewed most of the times. Please what's that simple thing I have to do. thanks
Honestly, I don't know what's going on. Perhaps someone will read your answers here and get an idea.
When you double-click one of those images in the timeline or clips pane, does the clips info box open? Is there anything strange there, compared to a photo that does preview properly?
Have you imported these images into iMovie with the Ken Burns effect turned on, then emptied the iMovie trash, and now the Preview window is black when you try to modify their settings? This is a known iMovie 6 bug, which you can read lots about here: http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#stillupdate If this is the case, you'll have to reimport those photos. -
Macbook pro accidentally deleted os and cant reinstall help please
my macbook pro 2013 had a white screen and loading bar i looked it up and tried to fix it in command R menu and accidentally deleted everything osx mountian lion and all it completley reformattd the hard drive and will not reinstall mountian lion or mavericks it says seek apple care any ideas?
jurisprudence410,
if you’ve completely deleted everything on the internal disk, including your recovery partition, then you should be able to use OS X Internet Recovery to redownload your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X from Apple’s servers. If you still have your recovery partition, then you can try holding down Option Command R while starting your MacBook Pro to have OS X Internet Recovery start. -
Cannot import specific MOV file into iMovie. HELP please!
I have been using iMovie for many years and am not a novice.
For some reason, I have a specific MOV file that I cannot import into iMovie 10.0.5. When I try to import the file, I get an error message:
"No Importable Files: None of the selected files or folders can be imported"
The file is NOT corrupt and plays perfectly in QuickTime. Interestingly, when I try to import the movie in iMovie, it shows 0.0 sec duration, even though it load/plays perfectly in iMovie with a duration of 54:45. See file A1 below:
I even tried converting the file to M4V in Quicktime, but iMovie would still not import the new M4V file.
Any suggestions? This is an important Movie, I cannot re-record it, and I need to edit it in iMovie.
Thanks in advance!I copied it below. I would appreciate any suggestions!

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
JackFirst, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck. -
Every time I open lightroom I get a pop up message saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and it closes. Ive already tried reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Help please!
Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.

When I try to install Itunes, I get this error: (translated from Norwegian) There was a network error while trying to read from the file: C: \ windows \ installer \ iTunes.msi I have tried many times to reinstall, but nothing helps, please help me.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I've downloaded the newest version of softwear to my iTunes libary (iOS 10.5 i believe) iTunes store now dosn't function right and i'm not able to sync. my iPod 4G with my libary. i've tried to reinstall iTunes, but for no use. help please.
well i have to be honest, but i don't know if it the vista you use has any significance for this. but you can try.
okay follow:
1: click "start" on the status line on the buttom of your screen.
2: then click on "all Programs" and find "Accessories" and find the "command prompt"
3: Right click with your mouse "command prompt" and click on "run as administrator"
(as you has click'd on "run as administrator", "command prompt" should appear.)
4: when it appears you need to type this "netsh windsock reset"
5: wait for your computer to registrer the command you gave it, and restart your computer.
then erverything should be pretty much as good or better then new. -
