IMovie says waiting and will not load

I have just bought imovie from the App Store - but it doesn't seem to be loading, it just says 'waiting', it won't allow me to press the 'install' button, as it is greyed out.
I have rebooted a couple of times, but still the same problem.
I'm running OS X Yosemite V 10.10.1 on my iMac 4GB Memory.
I'm at a loss, so have turned to the very helpful Apple Nation for some help.

  • New Apps or updates not downloading. It says "waiting" and will not download on 4s

    Hope that helps.

  • The firefox page constantly says "Connecting" and will not load any websites. I've also updated the firefox software via internet explorer with the same reslults can you help?

    Internet explorer works perfectly and firefox will not load any websites

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • I purchased mountain lion but it keeps saying waiting and will not download

    I purchased mountain lion over a week ago and the file will not download. It stays in a waiting queue and never initiates to even say downloading. I have deleted app attempted reinstall on multiple occassions but no luck. Additionally I have deleted app store cache to try and alleviate any issues but nothing is working. Also I am currently deployed to Afghanistan so a trip to the apple store is out of the question. Also I know my location is not an issue cause it allows me to purchase and install other items just fine. Any insight?

    You could pull the app store plist.
    That's what I would try first. (~/library/prefrences/com.apple.appstore.plist)
    Also, I think the ML is kept in another folder as well. Let me take a look.
    Yeah, try pulling the folder inside of the application support folder inside fo the computer libarary.
    Go>computer>mac hd>libarary>application support>app store
    pull the files inside the "app store" folder to the desktop. If there are more then a few, I would make a new folder on the desktop to drag them into.
    restart and try the download again. Delete the download of  ML from the applications folder if there is one there.
    Make sure you don't delete the files. We might need them still.
    Thank you so much for your service! I personaly appreciate it very much.

  • The notepad app says waiting and will not respond. No other apps are waiting. I have rebooted the iPad to no avail

    My notepad app is greyed out and is labelled waiting. It will not respond. No other apps appear to be waiting. I have tried rebooting to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Try this:
    Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
    Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
    Reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Creative cloud app downloading.. continues to say waiting and will not continue downloading

    using a mac pro computer. I am unable to download apps

    If you are getting waiting status after 42%  , follow below steps.
    Do not Quit Creative Cloud application when it is showing the progress status as " Waiting"  . Because if we close , the installer file will disappear from Tmp temporary storage.
    1) Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.
    2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.
    /Tmp
    It will open Tmp folder with list of sub folders inside .
    Search for Illustrator/ In Deisgn .dmg file . and then copy it to Desktop.
    Once you had copied .dmg file to Desktop.
    Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon , Setup , Install....etc from Activity monitor.
    Then double click on Illustrator/ InDeisgn .dmg file and try to install .

  • My iMovie keeps crashing and will not fully load. What do you think is the problem?

    What would be the reason why my iMovie keeps crashing and will not fully load?

    I don't know what version of iMovie you are using, nor the Mac OS X version (that's always helpful when posting questions).
    However, usually when iMovie has the type of problem you mention, it's advisable to firstly trash the preference file. Here's how to go about it for iMovie '11 on Mountain Lion (similar methods apply for other versions):
    Go to your Home folder <your user name>/Library/Preferences (NOT the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD). Similar to Lion, on Mountain Lion (10.8.3), the Home Library folder will be hidden (unlike pre-Lion OS X versions). To access it, click and hold down Go in the Finder menu bar, then press and hold down the Option key on the keyboard - the Library folder will appear in the drop down list. Slide the pointer down to Library and, as you release the pointer, the folder will open in Finder. Now you can navigate to the Preferences folder.
    In your user Library/Preferences folder, locate a file named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist". With iMovie closed, drag this file to the Desktop. When next opened, iMovie will create a fresh preference file with the default settings (this happens in the background as iMovie is loading).
    If iMovie now opens and appears to be working properly, you can change the default settings in the menu item "IMovie > Preferences", as desired. Also, it's now safe to drag the old preference file to the Trash. Trashing the file will not harm any existing Events or Projects.
    Note that these instructions are for iMovie '11 (currently version 9.0.9). For users on earlier versions, the preference file has a different but similar name. For example, for iMovie '09 (that's version 8.0.6) the file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Earlier versions may or may not have a number in the name, for example, "com.apple.iMovie.plist"
    If this doesn't fix the problem with iMovie crashing, please come back as I have another possible solution to offer.

  • CR files will no longer show in bridge and will not load into PS

    Hi I had a problem with bridge CS6 dynamic link failing and had tech support finally help with the problem by phone They had me reinstall PSCS6 and Bridge among other things like setting the permissions differenty. It worked ok when I opened it again after those changes and then I closed the apps and opened them again the next day (today) but now the CR files will show no thumbnails nor previews in bridge and will not load into PSCS6.
    I get now the following error messages
    These are files that are on my system and not from a camera plugged into the computer. They had worked just fine before the reinstall and permisisons changes the tech had me do. They open in the preview app and look fine so I know they are not corrupted files and I have tried different saved versions of the same (or any other CR file) and none of them will now open and Camera raw itself seems no where to be found. My prefences in camera raw have not clanged. Any ideas??? thanks and aloha, UP
    I tried image processor in bridge to make them PS files and got the following error message.
    I tried to load one of the CR files from the finder dirretly and got the following error message.
    Any help would be appreciated. If the post goes inanswered I will call tech support  again. aloha UP

    HI, I managed to fix the trouble by reinsatalling once again and running updates BEFORE opening bridge. It seemed that if I ran the update AFTER opening bridge I would get either an up to date status when checking for updates or I would get an install failure notice on all 4 updates that were trying to install. The updates were for camera raw, bridge and PS. I can't explain why but that helped a little. I also changed permissions on my whole user accnt to include read/write for all users. I can't say if this helped or not. I also had to go into my camera B/U files on a sepate HD and replace some of the CR folders I was using o nthe desktop. Still the CR files would not show a thumb nor a preview till I then went to each individual file inside that folder and purged the cashe for that file so it could repopulate the cashe yet again. This has been the strangest few days in PSCS6 history! Well my personal history. I will report back here if more quirks emerge. I would prefer quarks though....aloha, U

    Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download..

  • I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD.  It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive.  I do not use this drive for backups.  Help.

    I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD.  It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive.  I do not use this drive for backups.  I use an external 1 TB WD My Book for backups as well as Super Duper Backups. Can anyone offer advice.   Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have got the "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of your hard drive. This is the folder used by Time Machine to save backups to, and the OS X Mavericks installer thought that your hard drive is being used to store Time Machine backups
    To fix this, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
    Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the Mavericks installer from the Applications folder and follow the steps

  • My iPhoto has crashed and will not load up my picture and iTunes can not find my photos.  Why?

    My iPhoto has creashed and will not load up my pictures and iTunes can not find my picture either.  Why?

    Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess what might have happened.
    What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
    What happened directly, before you could no longer open your iPhoto library?
    Did you install or upgrade software?
    Did you import new photos to your iPhoto library?
    Are other programs also behaving buggie?
    Did you move your iPhoto library to a new harddisk?
    Did you run other programs, that might have changes the iPhoto library?
    How full is your harddrisk? Could it be, that you are running out of disk space?
    Anything at all, that could give us a clue ...

  • Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

    Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

    I tried resetting to factory and that worked for a couple of hour then I ended up with iTunes crashing again. So I logged out and logged back in and so far so good. This has kept me working for 3 days now so I won't guarantee a fix but it seems to have worked.
    Go to Settings->iTunes &amp; App Store click on your login email and select logout. I closed all of my open apps at this time and restarted my phone which was probably an overabundance of caution, but I wanted to ensure any temporary files were gone. Log back in and hopefully all will work for you.
    Good luck.
