IMovie will not show images or sound from my DV and behaves strangely

I am using a panasonic pv-gs50d, and am coonecting via a firewire cable. While iMovie indicates the camera is connected and states when it is playing, pausing etc. it will not show any images or play any sound on the iMovie screen. Further the actual program itself behaves very erratically, when I scroll over the start, stop etc. buttons, they dissappear and reappear, and the preferences option cannot be started. Does anyone know what this probelm is. The camera works fine on my powerbook which is using iMovie 4. Thanks

So I was searching though the discussions and I came across a post about opening garage band, playing a few notes and then going back to iMove. I tried it and it now works fine.
Thanks to whoever cam across this fix.

My mac will not show images when on the internet?

My mac will not show images when on the internet? I think I have inadvertently changed some settings but nor sure which one.

I am going to assume you are using Safari here. If so then go to the Apple menu bar and hit Safari-> Preferences. Under the Apperance tab there is a check box that is called "Display images when the page opens". Check if that is unticked.

My video will not show picture only sound? windows 8.1

I did updates yesterday and now this is happening

Hello @34jamie,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your video will not show picture, but the audio will work on your Windows 8.1 computer. Does the video appear and then disappear using media player software? Does this occur when streaming videos on YouTube? Did you perform Windows or HP updates before this issue occured? Does the entire screen go blank, turn a different color or just show blank on the video window you are attempting to view? I would be happy to help you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. Below is a is an HP Support document that will demonstrate how to find your computer's product number.

IMovie events not showing images

Previously created Project (that has been Shared with iTunes) suddenly no longer shows images in the Viewer in from the Event; the shared movie in iTunes is still good. Still have audio from the Event. Thumbnails still are visable in both the Project and Event. But the actual images themselves from the Event and Project are not viewable. However, if I go to the Event folder and click any of the .mov files from that Event QuickTime shows the images completely ... so the issue seems to be with iMovie. Any help on this matter would be great.
Thanks.

AppleMan1958,
Thanks for your reply ... it gave me an idea and that cleared up the problem.
No, I did not move any of the files from the Folder (Event) but the links to the files must have gotten corrupted. Can't answer for why it happened or what it the best method in iMovie for re-establishing them. But what I decided to do what create a new Folder (Event) in iMovie and then move the files from the affected Folder to the new Folder--that was just a simple Finder move. Tested to see if the movie files were viewable from the new Folder (Event), and all was fine. Then I moved the files back to the original folder (Event) and the Event and Project were both viewable again. (You have to close and open iMovie to get it to process the Event of course....)
Again, I can't explain what corrupted the Event Links. Anyway, if anyone else has this problem just remove the movie files and restoring will re-establish the links.
Thanks for your help.

My ipod will not let me download apps from the device and when i do it on itunes they wont sync either...

My ipo will not let me download apps or sync them either.

There are a million ppl having this problem right now and it seems like Apple is ignoring it. It's been real bad since May, even worse that last week or so. Basically all we can do is sit and wait to see what excuse or help, if any, will be given. I've used a Walmart pre-paid card and I'm sorry, but who really incorrectly types a 3 digit number a million times?! Also my account is saying I owe iTunes $40 for in-app purchases. Bull!! My card sends me a balance twice a day via text and because of this, I know what, where, and how my money is being spent. Also it's pre-paid, how can you have an over draft?!?! Here's a real kicker though...my card balance is in the positive!!! Hmmm, obviously not a fault on my part, the part of my card, nor my iPod. It's all in the system!!!

Imovie will not show new photos from iphoto?

The imovie project I'm working on needs several photos that I recently downloaded. However when going into the photo section of imovie these new photos do not appear in the album that they have been placed in.
Is there anyway to get them to appear?
Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It's a while since i used v5 but I think this is true.
Whereas with early version of iPhoto there was a separate folder for each album, starting at v5 the app doesn;t do that. Instead the album information is stored as part of the main database file. At heart, it's a direction to the app to display certain pics together. The advantage being that a single pics can be many, many albums with no wasted disk space.

Disabling hardware acceleration worked for me - be sure to reload the page after doing so, Flash won't adjust for the change on the fly.

IMovie will not show the video playing during editing

Does anyone know the maximum size of the total clips, still photos and transitions for iMovie? I suspect that may be why when I am trying to edit the iMovie project I hit the space bar to play and only the sound plays. The video does not move.

Hi
A. How much free space is there on Your - Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard disk ?
The movie in Your Camera / Stored on Your Mac (from Camera) - is very Compressed.
For iMovie (or FinalCut) it has to be in an Editable format - and this is massively LARGER
I've movies on 500Mb when un-folder are 50Gb or even more.
B. Is there other external Hard Disks connected ?
How are it / they formatted - HAS TO BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) to work for VIDEO
UNIX / DOS / FAT32 / Mac OS Exchange - Works for most other things but not for VIDEO

Mail will not show images in e-mails

For some reason, after having my Comcast internet re-connected recently, I can no longer see images embedded in e-mails. They don't show in the preview pane or when the e-mail is double-clicked. It's very strange.
I tried deleting the preference file and all the other tricks, but nothing seems to work. I also haven't been able to find any answers to this online, so it seems to be a very strange problem.
Any/all help would be greatly appreciated. I guess my next step would be to create a new user and see if that works.
Thanks in advance.

I'm getting the same problem with my Apple Mail, but only from one sender! His messages have images embedded in the email, but they only appear as placeholders (blue square with ? in it). I can Quicklook them, but they appear in a different order to the sequence in the email (judging from the descriptions). It's weird that it only happens with emails from this user (using Outlook, I believe).
Stranger still, I can see the images fine using Mail on my iPod touch accessing the same POP account (I've set it leave the messages on the POP server for 7 days so both clients can grab them).

Yahoo.ca homepage will not show images, only red blocks, Firefox 4

I had to reformat my hard drive because of a bad virus, and everything worked properly before that. The OS is Windows XP Pro SP3, fully updated. I updated to Firefox 4. My sympatico.ca home page is working great, but when I go to the yahoo.ca home page, there are red blocks instead of images. I dumped 4, went back 3.6 and it worked for a few days, then went back to red images. Subsequent gradual updates to 4, haven't resolved the problem. I've gone through everything I can find, in help and troubleshooting, checked page info, options, uninstalling and re-installing Firefox, with the same result. Installed the latest versions of Flash Player and Shock Wave. I'm at my wits end, and can't figure out what I'm missing. The same problem exists if I use Internet Explorer 8, which I really don't like to use. I haven't used Netscape for many years.
This is totally frustrating, and I really need some wise help.
Can anyone please, give me some answers and genuine direction to fix this issue.
Thanks for your help, and have a great day
Claude McMahon

Hi Xircal
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I didn't see any solution to my issue. I did detail in my original question post what my OS is, and all other info about my system. I have changed nothing that was on my PC before this issue happened. I have the same PC security package, antivirus software etc, provided by Bell Canada, that I have used successfully for years, and didn't have this issue previous to having to reformat the hard drive. I did go into the ad blocker program, but the only thing I can do is change the color of the blocked image.
I've been building my own PC's for about twenty years, and normally can fix most issues that arise. I've also been using Yahoo mail for a long time, and was always able to see the images, except for the last couple of weeks since the reformat. I can live with not seeing the images, but it's frustrating not to be able to resolve the issue.
If you can help great, and if you need any other info, please let me know.
Have a super day
Claude

Just updated to FF7 - since then my plugins will not show PageRank - I've tried several plugins and they all always says pages are unranked.

I've windows 7 and have just updated to firefox 7. since the update then all my plugins that show pagerank show all pages as unranked. The rest of the features of these plugins work fine. I'm using SEOQuake and Quirk SearchStatus.
I've tried 3 different plugins and they all show the same. I've also tried the same in internet explorer and it works fine, so the issue appears to be with the new firefox. Any ideas?

IMovie will not import or play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up.

i have a samsung hd camcorder. it records at 40 fps, but iMovie will not play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up. I have tried to record at standard quality to no avail. Help. thanks in advance.

samsung sc-hmx10c ntsc
im guessing that is the speed it records at due to the fact imovie puts a blue 40 at the top left corner of every clip i import.

When I get a phone call or text message it will not make the sound. Just vibrate. But the switch is on normal. When I change it to vibrate the volume thing will not show. Nor will my up volume up key work. Is there any way to fix it?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...
