IMovie will no longer display footage for capture

Recently iMovie has stopped working properly. The version number is 5.0.2 (111).
The main problem is that it doesn't display the video. The deck is attached to the mac and is playing but there is no response from iMovie. All I get is a blue screen stating "Camera Playing" but no video or audio.
On top of this the record controls (Play button, Record Button etc) disappear when the mouse hovers over them.
The final symptom is that it takes forever to open an empty document when the program is opened or stops responding altogether.
I've made no alterations to anything that I am aware of. It just worked one day and then not the next.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Kojima
Not knowing, the common way to get it working is by starting with this.
- delete iMovie pref file
- there has to be 10 - 25Gb free space on internal hard disk (less = problems)
- Run Repair Permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
- Run Hard disk (Apple Disk Util tool)
- did You install FinalCut recently ?? - this can interfere.
- Try starting a new account / log into this and see if iMovie works ?
- GarageBand fix: Close iMovie/open GB/play some notes/close GB and open
iMovie and re-try.
To start with.
Yours Bengt W

  • Late 2010 MBP WIll No Longer Display 1080p for External Monitor

    I currently use my 15" 2010 MacBook Pro with an external monitor via an HDMI cable using the Moshi HDMI miniport adapter. Recently when I connect the monitor (I've also tested on a different HDTV and have had the same issue) it recognizes a signal but all it displays is black. Only when I change the signal to 1080i do I get a picture (a poor quality picture). Is there any fix for this? At this point I'm thinking that it's either the adapter or the MBP's hardware that is messed up. I have been using this HDMI adapter without issue since the summer.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • When I turned off Find my iPhone, Apple sent me an email saying: I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. I don't understand!

    I just turned off Find my iPhone after hearing about the hacking in Australia.  I got an email from Apple saying:  your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone.  Does this mean that anyone can have access to my iPhone?  I still have to put my passcode in.

    What that means is the activation lock does not operate if you did what you said you did. Bottom line, turn it back on. That will then require anyone trying to use the device to have yoru Apple ID and password.

  • Extremely long display times for HTML in mail and Safari

    Is anyone else experiencing similar lags in HTML rendering?
    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I am experiencing extremely long render times for display HTML email messages in mail.   I am also experiencing extremely long render times in Safari.   I have Chrome installed on this same computer, if I goto the same website on Chrome and Safari, Chrome displays the page immediatly, Safari will take between 30sec and 1 minute.  

    The only way it can get fixed is if you report it to Adobe. Posting it here may not be sufficient. There is an Acrobat feature request forum here and a bug report form here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

  • My iPod no longer displays artwork for certain albums

    Ok, so here's my problem. Every so often when I alter the artwork on my iPod with iTunes, I have to reset the artwork by clicking the "display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox in my menu, then clicking apply, and repeating the process to redisplay them. If I don't do this, sometimes I wind up with a black box where the artwork would normally be displayed when I peruse my iPod. I know that this is a common problem for some people so hopefully there are some on this site and know what I'm talking about. Anyway, to my current problem, when I attempted to do that last night, it was just about at the end of the progress bar when an error message appeared that said "The iPod 'name' cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-50)." So, because it didn't complete the cycle, certain albums no longer display the artwork. It's still there on my iPod when I go into iTunes, but when I go through the actual menus on my iPod such as Cover Flow etc. I instead see that annoying box with the musical note in it. Has anyone come across this problem before? I would very much appreciate a solution

    I just tried it again and this time a different message showed up "The iPod 'name' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." I have no clue what folder it could be talking about.

  • Flash will no longer be supported for mobile devices. Is Flash Builder also going to stop building m

    Flash, specifcally mobile Flash, was effectively sentenced to death a while back. The first inklings came when Abode put out their own non-Flash media tool “Edge,” and then was confirmed when the company dropped 750 employees and halted all development of mobile versions of Flash, ostensibly forever. It’s not until now, however, that we’re seeing Flash really start to crumble. Android, once open to the protocol, will no longer be supporting Adobe Flash with its newest version, Jelly Bean.
    What is the faith of Flash Builder? PC apps only?

    Yes Flash is no longer supported in the browser...   I am a Flash Developer and I think this is a good thing.  I personally believe that Browsers in general on mobile devices will die a slow death.
    Have you tried using them ... no matter what device you choose and how good the browser is, the experience is horrendous.  Flash running in the browser on a smartphone is painful.
    Browsers will be replaced by apps.
    Let me give you an example.
    I was upgrading the OS on my daughters iPod Touch Devices and noticed that their Safari Browser was in a folder called "Junk" along with the compassVoice MemosNews Stand, Stocks, etc. 
    I asked them "Why is your browser in a folder labeled Junk and how do you find anything online? "
    Their response
    "If I need to look anything up I search in the App Store"
    Example: Daughter needs a Dictionary to do her homework...  she wont go to www.dictionary.com   she opens up her app store and downloads a dictionary app.
    I see the app stores as the new Google.
    The beauty of this is that us developers can sadnbox our experience and deliver it in whatever technology we choose to.  We no longer care if Browser A supports Flash or which browser supports which HTML tag.
    I have a 3 yr old son .. and I am convinced he will one day say to me.   " Dad... I cant believe you used to have to type  WWW  dot  bla bla bla    SLASH  bla bla bla SLASH bla bla bla   "

  • HT4428 My Apple TV will no longer display HDCP content.

    Help, my Apple TV now complains (and will not display) about "This content requires HDCP for playback..."
    The problem is it used to work, recently, now it will not. I have even tried playing shows that I have seen before.  It does play YOUTUBE, but nothing else.  I have not changed a single device in my system, so should be the same as a few days ago.  A bad update?
    Has anyone else recently experienced this problem?

    I have exactly the same issue, I can see the content that I have purchased and when I start a show or film I get error message after a few seconds. Apparantly it is only for the movies and shows, since I can see and hear my music, clues anyone?

  • Firefox will no longer display Unicode symbols after update?

    I am using Firefox on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Just about two Firefox updates ago (roughly Firefox 14), Unicode symbols suddenly stopped displaying that had been displaying fine—switching to boxes with numbers in them.
    I have changed my Encoding options to include every single form of Unicode available to me; I am not sure if that has any effect. (Screenshot here: http://puu.sh/QcF6 ) The best part? After doing so, restarting the browser makes the Unicode symbols appear again! No more boxes with numbers! Fixed, right?
    ''Nope''! When I come back to that page a week later, they are numbers in a box again. In fact, in some cases, the symbol will display temporarily (say, if I had saved it into a blog page), then when I go to edit that blog page, the symbol immediately switches back to box-with-numbers.
    This is driving me mad, and was not previously an issue. What can I do to fix this?

    Sorry for the late reply, I was waiting for the issue to re-occur. I have cleared and checked for damaged fonts, to no avail; the problem still exists. :(
    '''Edit:''' In addition, I've just checked in both Chrome and Safari, and the Unicode symbol that I'm attempting to display are working fine in both of those browsers.

  • Mail will no longer display HTML email content

    As of last week, Mail has decided to no longer accept HTML versions of emails. I've looked in the Preferences but there doesn't seem to be any way to select HTML over Text. I know I haven't changed anything, and I spent half an hour on the phone with my ISP: they claim it's not on their end. Any ideas?

  • Recenty, some of the icons associated with websites will no longer display, although they always did so in the past

    The small icon that is associated with a website & appears to the left in the address bar when a website loads no longer appears for 6 of my most frequently used websites. This began about a week ago.

    Maybe this bug:

  • Several Fonts are now missing in Microsoft Office (2010), which were present before the upgrade. Most notably, Calibri Bold will no longer display.

    Has anyone else had anything similar happen? After I upgraded to Yosemite, several font families that were present in Office 2010 are now suddenly gone. Any document that I use Calibri Bold in now displays as something similar to Times. Even opening new documents, powerpoints, etc, does not fix the issue. On all web browsers, it displays correctly, and even as I type this question, I am able to use Calibri Bold, simply not within Office itself. Any clue?

    It might be the case that OS X Yosemite disabled your MS fonts, by default.  I found that Calibri Bold & Italic was disabled, so I had to enable it again. 
    HOW TO DO THIS...
    In the "Spotlight Search" on the upper right-hand corner, type in "Font Book" and open the application.
    --Click on "All Fonts." 
    --Scroll to "Calibri." Click on the font to open the drop-down menu.  This should show you various font styles for that font family.
    --If it says "off" next to it, right-click that style, and choose "Enable (font)."
    Restart your documents, and you should be good to go.

  • I wiped my MacBook Pro due to a problem, will I have to pay for iMovie or iPhoto that was originally installed on my older MacBook Pro ?

    Due to a problem with my older MacBook Pro I had to wipe it clean. Now I no longer have iPhoto or iMovie , will I have to pay for those programs ? If so, are there any older versions available I can download for free.

    a brandnew Mac (=aka after a clean isntall), should be registered with an AppleID.
    Then, you're entitled to download the pre-installed apps for free from AppStore, just log-in with that Apple-ID...-
