IMovie won't start, but in the end it did

i read the other posts about crashing imovie at the start, but my problem seemed a little different. my imovie started, i saw the app windows, then crashed immediatley. the strange thing was starting it from another account always worked. i then reinstalled, but didn't copy any of the imvie pref files to my new user account, still same prog crash. then i moved all my pictures from the folder "pictures" in /users/xxx/ to another subfolder in the picture folder. before there were like 170 objects in that folder summarizing to 70gb pictures.
i restarted imovie and it worked. i don't know why imovie crashes when there are so many objects in the "pictures" folder but not when they are in a subfolder of that same folder.
anyways, nice work apple for making such great software

i could even narrow it down to my 44gb iphoto library file, whwn i put that in another place, it works of course i don't have my iphoto library in my media browser window.
again thanks apple for making such great software.

TS3694 i have just formatted my iphone without having any backup, when i try to restore it using itunes the process starts but at the end it gives error 1015, i think its because i don't have any backup files, the iphone is not running it only shows a usb

how can i get everything back?

Error 1015 occurs when a phone is jailbroken. Jailbreaking the iPhone voids any warranty and support from Apple, including this forum.

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]
You also mentioned that Firefox crashes, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it and select '''Submit'''.
(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

IMovie won't start after update to 7.1

Just installed the update this morning, and iMovie won't start up any more...
I searched here but there are so many things that come up... but none of which look like this problem.
I've trashed prefs, restarted... nada. Didn't try reinstalling and -not- updating yet.
Any help appreciated-
thanks,
Andrew

had the same problem with my iMovie and thanks to this discussion, i removed 3 DivX Plug Ins, restarted and iMovie worked fine.
dragged back the latest DivX Plug In (6.4.0) and iMovie's still running ok.
i'm guessing the culprit's either the Decoder 6.0.5 and/or DivX 5, both of which were also installed and now removed.
i still have Flip4Mac installed in Library/QuickTime.

To download an App the 3 security questions are required. But at the end, apple is not able to complete the task and gives an error message. No more downloads are possible. What can I do?

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

I've created a movie but at the end there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing. How can I select it and delete it?

Hello everyone,
This is Karie Garnier in British Columbia, Canada.
I'm new to FCPX.
I've created a 20 minute movie, but at the end of the movie, there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing.
How can a video clip be playing and making sounds, when it doesn't appear in the timeline? and ...
How can I select this invisible audio clip and delete it?

I think you could be right, that it's an old render file that's got stuck.
By the time I finished this movie my 500 GB hard drive was 99.9% full and
FCP started acting wierd, so I suspect you are right.
I have since upgraded my hard drive to one 1000 GBs but when I play the movie the
glitch remains.
Can you please tell me:
a) How can I fix the old render file so that it is no longer stuck? ... and
b) How do I take a screen shot of the timeline?

My macbook 2007 won't start up past the logo screen.

My macbook 2007 won't start up past the logo screen. I've tried to boot the computer off the install dvd that came with it but it comes up with a box saying that Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer. It has a yellow triangle over a hard drive in the box. What do I do?

You need to start the MacBook with the original DVD that shipped with the MacBook. then run disk utility on your hard drive to repair it, also repair your permissions.

Your iPhone was not officially unlocked and has now relocked to the original cell carrier. Call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of your iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked with. Next contact that cell carrier and see what their unlock process is and if you qualify.
