IMovie won't load completely

iMovie 08 had been working correctly on my iMac G5 (ppc) until yesterday. Now when I click the icon it bounces several times, stops when the little blue circle appears below it on the dock and all I get is the iMovie toolbar at the top (most items in the menu are grayed out, except for Import from Camera). So far I have tried the following based on suggestions I have seen here and elsewhere.
- let it run in case it is slow at collecting movie and picture files from the HD (I let it run overnight)
- delete DivX component from QuickTime folder (in Library)
- delete iPhoto plist file
None of these have worked. I'll appreciate any suggestion.

Nevermind. I found it.
quit iMovie
open System Preferences/Monitor/Color
set to any other profile than it's currently set to, e.g. AdobeRGB
launch iMovie again and voila

Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto.

Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto. This also does not work on my garageband for itunes music. I have tried backing my itunes media and rebuilding but it has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

Note that you have to actually run the update - where you get the window where you have the choices to "Update" or "Restore" your iPod (you'll of course want to "Update"). It sounds to me like you downloaded the updater but did not actually run it to update your iPod.
Hope this helps.

My iMovie won't load

All of a sudden my iMovie won't load and I get this error msg: Quartz Extreme Required? Whats going on. Never happened before?

I googled the Quartz Extreme Required message and got the following response on MacMost:
Gary Rosenzweig says:
Try changing the screen resolution to something different, and then back again. See if that fixes it. If not, try logging off and back on. If not, try restarting. If the problem persists, perhaps a visit to the Genius Bar.
A number of people said this fix worked for them.
Good luck..

My M&T banking app for personal won't load completely. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still won't completely load.

Not 100% sure it will work, but for me did.

Dropped laptop and now it won't load completely after turning it on. Only loads half way and stays there. What can I do to fix it?

My Friend dropped my laptop form about 4 ft. It was working but after I turned it off and tried to turn it back on it wont load completely when it sign in. It loads half way and stays there, I can only use safari through the guest section. What can I do to fix?

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say. The appointment is free.

Apple TV won't load complete Aperture library

I have a large Aperture library back to 2002. Apple TV 2 won't load the library further than 2008, despite it being checked all the way back to 2002 in Home Sharing. How do I get it to load the whole thing? Is there a limit? I am working with a MacBook, Snow Leopard, and Aperture 3. Thanks.

I couldn't say for sure if there is a limit to the size of a photo library, but there have been problems reported when using large libraries. How many photos do you have, mention has been made to problems with libraries of over 20,000.

URGENT iMovie won't load and I have a deadline for today!

Since I updated to Mavericks iMovie has been difficult at the least. Functions not working taking ages to complete even a click of a mouse. This morning however, it totally quit and won't restart. I have a deadline for today and my video is stuck in the bowels of iMovie! HELP!

I have restarted, changed the server to 8.8.8.8 and looked into PeerGuardian but don't know enough to feel comfortable changing anything there. It worked perfectly for a year and started messing up a few days ago.

IMovies won't load into iDVD

I'm running iDVD 6.0.3 on OS 10.4.9. On the right of my iDVD screen, it says Audio, Photo, Movies, and below this is a window with a folder that says Movies. This folder has a sub-folder named DivX Movies.
So my first question is, how do I get my projects that I created with iMovie HD (also 6.0.3) into that Movies folder?
Second, is it possible to combine two separate movies in iMovie HD and import the whole thing to an iDVD project? I opened one movie and tried to import a second, but got an error message that Quicktime couldn't parse it: -43.
My third question is more complicated. I have a series of movies in various folders on an external firewire drive. Each folder contains 2-3 movies that I want to burn on a single disc, with menus. Last night I dragged one of these folders into the top window on iDVD that I mentioned above, and the thumbnails of those (two) movies appeared in the bottom window. I dragged them onto the Fish theme screen, and the first title appeared at the top in large letters. Below that, it said Play Movie and Scene Selection in smaller text, and below these the second movie title appeared, in the same smaller font size.
Then, when I tried to rename the bottom title, everything disappeared. The top title reverted to the default "Fish" title and jumped to the right, and the second movie vanished. I quit the project and started over, dragged my folder with the two movies into the window again, and now I find that the thumbnails are no longer loading.
I tried one of the other folders which contained three movies, but only one of them appeared. It also doesn't load as a picture, but as a Quicktime icon with the large Q in the center and a small iDVD logo on the bottom left.
Hopefully someone with more experience can offer advice.

Do all of your movies have chapters?
When you drag the first movie (let's call it Movie A) onto iDVD, you will get the 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection' options (if you have chapters) on the main menu. Selecting the 'Scene Selection' will take you to a submenu with the chapters(scenes) that you created in Movie A.
When you drag the second movie (call it Movie B), you will get a text button with the Movie B's name, that when selected, will take you to a submenu for Movie B that has the 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection' options for Movie B.
Same thing for subsequent movies (Movie C, etc).
It sounds as if you wish to have all the movie choices on the main menu like this;
Movie A Movie B Movie C
Play MovieA Play MovieB Play MovieC
Scene SelectA Scene SelectB Scene SelectC
To do this, go ahead and drop in Movie A. Use the ''free position" option for the buttons so that you can place the 'play movie' and 'scene selection' for Movie A under its title.
Then, drop in Movie B. Click on its name to go to its submenu. From that submenu, select the 'Play Movie' text, and COPY. Go back to the main menu and PASTE under MovieB's title. Navigate back to the submenu by clicking on Movie B's title again, and DELETE 'Play Movie' from the submenu. Now do the same COPY/PASTE with 'Scene Selection' and return back to the submenu to DELETE it. Now the submenu has been entirely deleted, and the two movie options on are the main iDVD menu.
Repeat with MovieC, etc.
Post back if this is not what you are wanting to do.

Home page won't load completely

When I open itunes, the main page will not load. I can see the 'Quick Links' and 'Top Charts' on the side but the main center part wont appear. When I click on 'see all' singles under the 'top charts' the songs all come up but the preview button doesn't appear and I cant do anything. I'm very frustrated.

Suddenly (as of this AM) I'm having this same issue. I'm running a MBA under 10.7.3, with latest iTunes (10.5.3). Never had this problem before.
Symptoms:
The Home Page is completely blank except for right panels (Quick Links, Top Charts) and iTunes Store footer; all other tabs on top do the same, except for App Store page, which is completely blank.
Connection to Store is fine--iPhone syncs w/o a problem, and I can see my apps, music, updates, etc., can even access my Wish List.
Updates download w/o problems, but if I try to view page for an app, only the top part of the page loads, down to "What's New in version xxx". Everything below is blank--no views of app, no Reviews, etc.
Category pages will load, but without any Thumbnails, only text, but Purchase buttons work.
My iPhone connects and appears as it should--no problems at all.
What I've Tried:
reloading iTunes page--several times--no help.
Reopening iTunes--several times--no help.
Rebooting Mac--ditto
On iPhone:
App Store seems to work fine.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Imovie won't load project file after crash

Hi All,
I was almost done with an iMovie project, and while I watching the preview, iMovie crashed.
After I opened iMovie again, the project was there anymore. I can see all other projects but the project I want, the one I was working on when it crashed.
I checked the forum for similar problems but no solution worked so far. The file is in the Projects Folder, I can even see the preview a thumbnail of the project.
Here is what I tried so far:
deleting com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
deleting com.apple.iApps.plist
Moving file to a different location
Renaming the file
clicking twice on the file to open
Transfered the file to another Mac (with event files)
Deleted iMovie and reinstalled from AppStore
rebooted many times
None of this worked so far. The file is there, 13MB, but nothing seems to recognize the file into iMovie.
Mountain Lion latest version. iMovie 11 latest version.
Please help, a load of work was put into this and I need to finish the movie by Thursday.
All help appreciate it.

There are a number of others here having the same problem (including me), where the project appears in Finder in the iMovie Projects folder but is not listed in the Project Library in iMovie. The project just seems to disappear from the Library.
Here is a link to a recent topic. It includes a post by me where I've provided links to other topics regarding this issue.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21296973?ac_cid=tw123456#21296973
You've given an excellent summary of things you've tried. I've also tried most of those, but haven't as yet reinstalled iMovie. As I have Final Cut Pro X, I also attempted to open the project file in that app with no success. FCP X crashed just after loading, after I had selected from the menu - File > Import > iMovie Project.
You can submit feedback to Apple - from iMovie's Menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.
Sorry I can't help you solve this.

IMovie won't load iPhoto pictures

Ever since I upgraded to iMovie 09 (from 08), my iPhotos will NOT load to iMovie. Or Garageband or even upload to email for that matter.
What happens is that my iphotos say "loading photos" or something like that, and it just has a little spinner there and NEVER loads the photos for use with iMOvie. During Garageband, it shuts down my computer every single time.
I went to the Mac store and they couldn't figure it out either.
Can someone help me?

Can you view the images at full size in the iPhoto Window?
Where is your Library stored?

IMovie won't load my clip

iMovie should absolutely be able to load it though. It viewed through Quicktime Player and I saved it and went to iMovie to import it, I previewed it and it worked fine and then I clicked import. It then as it should closed the files screen and showed the little window where you can see the progress of the import. But the window only showed up for like a split second before closing again, with my video not in iMovie. I was wondering if it didn't load because the video was very short, like 2 seconds? Could someone tell me what went wrong?

... after editing the clip, I would select it in timeline, choose export/Quicktime/FullQuality (no loss of quality...) and 'selected clips only' and export that edited scene.. now, you have a single-solid file, you could re-import or use with that plug-in ..

I have an mac pro that loads slow, zynga games won't load completely!

I need some guidance!!! My macbook pro 13" from summer 2010 is running slow/loading very slow or stops loading in middle of use! especially my zynga.com games {farmville2 etc.}! video slots are stopping with errors! saying connection was interupted yet wifi is still in tact!! and strong!!! HELP I MISS MY GAMES!

I play games on facebook as well mostly multi-player realtime stradgey games. Here are some questions I ask the people I play with when they have problems:
1). If you leave your computer running when was the last time you rebooted?
2). Have you cleared your history and your cache lately?
3). When was the last time you ran antivirus and your cleaner?
4). Check your flash player and java and see if it needs updated or repaired.
5). Check your browser for updates.
One of those usually fixes the problem. Hope it helps....

Imovie won't load

After the most recent update of iMovie, when I try to launch it, it wil bounce a bit then just sit there like its open but if I right click, it says its not responding. If I delete and reinstall it opens one then the next time, I have the same problem.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

After Yosemite upgrade iMovie won't load iMovie Theater from data drive.

I have my iMovie Lib and Theater on a data disk and the os on an SSD. When I updated to Yosemite and new iMovie, it will no longer us the iMovie Theater on the data disk. It always makes a new file on the SSD in Movies folder. My SSD is not large enough to hold my Theater. How do I get it to use the Theater file on the data disk.
Thanks for you help
JD Smith

Same thing is happening for me. It's pegging the CPU which makes me believe that it's fixing the library? I'll let this do it's thing and see if it will ever end.
