I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

Download and open this program, lets you look around your I phone as if it was a disc drive, might find em in the iphones drive.

First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift. If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, send a message to the iTunes Store customer service department through the contact form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (select the Contact Support link and follow the instructions) and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

Workspace totally disappeared

CS 5.5
Workspace and project totally disappeared with the exception of a tiny box with the red x and yellow minimize symbols (no green button). Tried to restore workspace and rebooted but no luck. Every project I try to open this is all I get. Thoughts?

Premiere remembers the last worksapce used. I made my the main Premiere Panel on the left monitor (the one with the main taskbar, so I couldn't control anything in Premiere) totally disappear the other day. Try adjusting your monitor resolutions from desktop... I went down to 900x600 resolution, then opened up premiere and moved other panels around to reveal the missing one. I dragged that back over to the left monitor and maximized it, then quit, and changed resolutions back to normal. Worked. I use a PC though, so not familiar with Mac.
You might also look up what keyboard shortcuts affect workspaces and panels...
Good luck

My contacts have just totally disappeared. Can anyone help please.?

My contacts have just totally disappeared. Can anyone help please.? I'm using iPhone 4S

If you have itunes on pc or icloud than i think your contacts should be there.
Have you tried to sync to itunes (make sure to check Sync Contacts and all contact options on itunes info tab), activate the icloud account on your iphone's contact option and show all contacts on groups tab on iphone's contact app?
I experienced the same problem and this helped me.

My green messaging icon and my App Store icons etc have totally disappeared and they are not in any folders and I have tried resetting my phone, any ideas about what I could do to get them back?

My messaging,App Store, ITunes icons have totally disappeared, I have tried looking in other folders etc and resetting my homepage however I still cannot seem to find them, any ideas about how I could get them back? ( I phone 4s)

If you still have the 'pointers' to them in iTunes then I think that it assumes that you still have them on your computer so it won't re-download them or let you copy them from your iPod - try deleting the iTunes entry for one of them and then re-try re-downloading or, with your iPod connected, File > Transfer Purchases. If it works for that one then do the same for the others.

What do I do? My purchases that were downloading have totally disappeared?

I have been struggling with iTunes ever since I signed up. I can't seem to find any way of direct contact so have come here.
First, I couldn't get the downloads done in the order i wanted; NOW my downloads have totally disappeared from my purchase list (and I hadn't finished downloaded by a long shot!) What do I do now? Is there anyone I can contact directly for HELP! I am so frustrated. thanks, beth

Hey Beth,
This is the website: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/download/ to contact the iTunes Store reguarding download issues.
The form at the bottom of the page will allow you to contact iTunes Store Customer Service.
Try this, click on Store inside iTunes then Check for Purchases. Are the downloads resuming?

All of my iMovie projects disappeared after loading Mavericks. The updated version of iMovie shows no files and cannot find any files to Import. My machine, a beefed up Mac Mini, has slowed to a crawl. Suggestions?

My Mac Mini takes forever to load programs now. After loading Mavericks it seems like I am back in PC World again!! My biggest concern is ALL of my iMovie projects seem to have vanished. I do not have sound on some web sites like YouTube. I lost the option to mirror from the Mac to the TV but I was able to solve that. Any suggestions on recovery of files? I do not use TimeMachine and did not back up anything before the Mavericks installation. I know...that's bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Still images added to iMovie HD disappear when exporting

I have added a few still images to my iMovie HD movie project, using the Media/Photos tabs in iMovie. The images are JPEGs in my iPhoto library. I place the images in the timeline, but when I export the iMovie project to my video camera or to an MPEG file, the images disappear. Any suggestions welcome.

This is the iMovie '08 forum.
I place the images in the timeline, but when I export the iMovie project to my video camera or to an MPEG file, the images disappear.
While you may get a better response regarding your camera export in the iMovie HD forum, I am intrigued by your loss converting to MPEG. Could you be more specific regarding your work flow for this process?

IPhoto Library has totally disappeared!

I'm really hoping that someone can advise me. I switched from Windows to Mac two Christmases ago and until now would not have changed back. But now, my confidence is seriously damaged.
Here's the thing:-
The photo library on my wife's iMac has disappeared - totally.
There was no event or crash.
She simply opened iPhoto and it said "Do you want to create a library?"
I've searched with Google and done all the suggestions.
There is no iPhoto Library in 'Pictures'.
I've used iPhoto Library Manager - it will create a new library but finds no trace of the old one.
There is no 'Masters' nor "originals' folder.
Cmd-launch doesn't help.
Alt-Cmd-launch doesn't help.
There is no albumdata.xml file.
There is no library6.iphoto file.
The hard drive verified OK.
A lot of permission repaired but they usually do.
Still no sign of anything.
The Mac is a 21-inch iMac, bought Dec 2009; it's still running Snow Leopard and she has iPhoto09.
I've switched my 27-inch iMac (bought at the same time) to iPhoto11 and upgraded to Lion but my wife (like many) is seriously conservative and switching her from XP to Mac was quite enough for the time being!
I do have a backup of all but the recent photos but my confidence in Apple products is seriously damaged. I mean, I still have photos from Windows 98, 2000, and XP computers and I've never lost a single photo before (except by the usual mistakes). The notion that a Mac can simply lose every single photo without warning makes it 100% untrustworthy.
I don't use Time Machine, though I was about to start using it. But surely if I did rely on it, it would simple backup the absence of photos and they'd be lost in the backup too?
How can this have happened?
How can the photos be deleted from the hard drive without a lot of disc activity? (i.e. they must still be there?)
How can I get them back?
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks.
Brian Smith, Stamford, UK.
Post Script: I have used Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery. It insisted that I make an image onto an external drive and from that it has found 35,000 images, most of them Apple and software icons. But there are also what may be all of the photographs. It's going to take forever to go through them all and of course I can't yet say if all sets of photos have been recovered.

Thanks, Terrence.
I'd thought of user error, of course, but couldn't see how *everything* could have disappeared . . . . but I hadn't actually thought of accidentally moving the iPhoto Library itself to Trash. If that was done, would it have this effect - of deleting everything?
I can see how this might be the only conceivable answer but I simply don't believe it's what happened. You'd have to go into the Home folder, then pictures, and then delete the iPhoto library.
My wife definitely wouldn't have done this. I don't think she's ever used the Finder. But I occasionally use her computer so if it was done it was me wot done it! And I did recently copy some pictures across from my Mac to hers to put them on her iPad. I'm pretty sure I didn't use either iPhoto or the Finder on that occasion - but you never know.
In the absence of any other suggestions I may have to acknowledge that this may be what happened. In some ways it would be a relief. Total loss for no reason was very worrying.
Still not happy that I might have done it by accident though!
Thanks again,
Brian

On my new iMac Mavericks iMovie has disappeared (crashed?). Since iMovie is preinstalled, I have no DVD to restore it. There were two projects under work. How can I get back iMovie?

On my new iMac Mavericks idMovie dhas disappeared (crashed?). lSince the programme is preinstalled, I have no CD to reinstall it. Several film projects were under work. How could I get back the programme?

Mavericks doesn't include iMovie. It's a separate download from the App Store.
Log into the App Store and download it.

Imovie data disappeared

Hi. Am working on an OSX V10.9.4 and using the newest version of imovie.
Spent zillions of hours working on two projects:
An imovie film with video clips
A slide show with a combination of stills and the odd video clip
The finished film has disappeared entirely along with all the imported video clips.
As per the slide show all of the images are gone -and all that remains is the music, transitions and 2 or 3 video clips in the slide show. Poof.
NO idea what happened. Thoughts?
Can I use the time machine to restore imovie from a week ago and will that restore the data as well?
Any help would be MOST appreciated

It will restore the data and the imovie program from, let's say, a week ago?
Still confused as to why this happened, though. Worrisome.
Thank you for your feedback

IMovie 09 disappears!

Okay so let me start off by saying i have found a "bandage " for this problem.... But no real solution. I have a second screen that I sometimes hook up to my laptop. But when I unhook the second screen and use my Laptop at another time i find that imovie(imovie is the only program I seem to have problems with) will look like its on but there is nothing there. When i go to Expose it shows up but when I click it, it disappears.
I have tried all types of different things but no real "fix".
For all those who want to know what my "bandage" was i got it of "macosxhints".

Jack Aksan wrote://...
- Move the actual project clips to an external HD
- Delete the event and project on iMovie folder
- Do a "File" ---> "Import --> Movies" from the external HD where your clips are.
- Re-edit the project and event.
I had the same problem yesterday but thanks to Jack Aksan's advice I solved it. I did'nt follow all the steps thou. For my it worked when i did this:
Right click on the clip that has no sound to find it in Finder. (in library pane or in the project window)
Then move the errant clip/s to another folder
Erase the errant clips in iMovie from the library pane and the project window
Do a "File" ---> "Import --> Movies" from the folder where your previously moved clips are.
Re-edit the project and it will work.
Good luck everyone!

IMovie Themes disappear when applied

I just upgraded to iMovie HD 6.01 hoping that it would resolve a problem I am having. I want to use a theme for credits. I get the photos and the text into place and then hit apply or drag the theme to the end of the movie and after it renders it disappears. It is driving me nuts. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a glitch in the program that needs to be fixed?
Thanks, TWG

Thanks, I just read the link and that may very well solve the problem. I never thought about formating the firewire hard drive. When I plugged it in, it worked great and never thought about it again. I'll move the projects and format the drive and see if that solves my problem.
The odd part is that all of the Theme parts in iDVD work great, it is only the Theme titles/credits, etc. in iMovie that don't work.
Thanks, TWG
