IMovies 06 - unable to import movies after several successful imports

I am importing Hi8 video from a Canon ES4000 using iMovies 06. I have had no problems until the last two days. iMovies seems to be recognizing the camera but will not import when I hit the import button. I get the acknowledgment from iMovies that "Camera is Connected" and "Camera Playing".
I am using a DAC-200 Data Video converter which is connected via firewire cable. Like I mentioned earlier I have had no problems. (I have successfully downloaded and burned 9 DVDs).
I have restarted computer, opened a new iMovies project, etc with no results.
The only thing I can think I have done recently is allowed a software update to be performed. Here is a list of my download log:
2008-07-26 18:42:40 -0500: Installed "Safari" (3.1.2)
2008-07-26 18:43:38 -0500: Installed "iTunes" (7.7)
2008-07-26 18:47:26 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2008-004 (Intel)" (1.0)
2008-07-27 18:15:35 -0500: Installed "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-002" (1.0)
I personally wouldn't think any of the above updates would cause a problem.
Would it be worth uninstalling the updates???
I would appreciate any help I can get....Frustrated to no end!

Shortly after posting this on the forum I unplugged and restarted everything one more time and now importing works. Still not sure what the problem was. Hopefully this will get me to the end of my project.

Unable to stream movies after 4.2.1 update

Hi,
I updated my Apple TV to 4.2.1 tonight and I've been unable to stream movies from my iMac or iPad to the ATV since then. I can stream music and TV shows but no luck streaming movies to it.
I've also tried streaming from my iPad to the ATV and this isnt working either.
The iMac and iPad see recognize the ATV, the ATV displays one still picture and sits in a buffering pattern.
I tried restoring the ATV, rebooting my iMac, rebooted the TC and APE but no luck.
Have you run across this? Any suggestions? (besides not updating right away!)

I spoke (wrote) too soon. Though the calendar is showing all the events, an event I just added on the iphone has not shown up on other devices. I created an event on my Ipad too, which also didn't show up on other devices.
I logged in to Mobile Me, which reports all services running OK, but something seems to be wrong

Adobe PDF Converter stops creating PDFs after several successful prints.

We have an application that create reports that we want to print to PDF and save on our server. We have been doing this for years. Have 50 employees doing this. One computer is having an issue were they will print to the "PDF Printer" and the pdf output file is save to their desktop, but after multiple successful prints, the print will get hung up in the PDF Printer Queue.
This is on a Win7 Machine, with current windows updates, using Acrobat X Standard version 10.1.10 so I think I am up to date.
Does anyone have suggestions about what to look at or where the problem may be coming from.
To fix the problem the user can shut down (restart) the computer and printing to pdf works again.

I don't get any messages in the queue or any place that I know of. I looked in the system log and application log for hints and nothing occurs at the time of the error . Do you have suggestions of where to look for errors that I may have missed?
The print just stay their. We usually set the output to also display when completed but Acrobat never displays the report. So somewhere the program hangs or fails.

How do i import movies, How do i import movies

How do i import movies to edit on iMovie?

Do you mean with your iPad2?
You can import through the iPad camera connection kit, which is available from Apple.
Tell us more about what kind of camera.
And if I did not guess right about your iPad, let me know.
There is a discussion group for iMovie on IOS Devices like the iPad here, where people have more knowledge.
Most of us here are using Macs.

Flash audio only stream fails in IE after several successful plays

We have several audio only Flash streams that are internet radio stations playing from this page:
http://www.cbn.com/radio/
We've discovered a bug that only happens in IE. When you click each station and open them up, they will play fine until you get to about 7 or 8 attempts. After that, any time you try to listen to another stream, the player just says "Loading". Refreshing the page does not help. You have to close the page completely and then reopen it before any of the streams will start to work again.
This problem does not happen in Firefox. In fact, once IE has gone into failure, I can leave IE running and open Firefox and everything will be working fine.
Not sure where the bug might be or how to work around it, but it's quite irritating.
Any ideas?

Hi Jeremy,
We'll most likely need to see the code that goes with these players. Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes.
Thanks,
Chris

Backup Fails after several successful days - errors "Device is not ready" & "The System cannot find the path specified"

Well I am back again, with another backup issue. After fixing one issue with the backup failing after a reboot, I have encountered another which is starting to cause me a lot of headaches.
The setup is thus - the backups run on a host machine running Windows Server 2012, this hosts three VM's (1x Server 2012 and 2x2008 Since the 19th of December a single backup drive has been attached for the backups (not ideal but the company had closed for
the holidays) up until the 26th these backups were working flawlessly.
On the 26th the backup completed with warnings, transferring a good 90% of the data to the backup (2/3 VMs). On the 27th it transferred a bit more at around 95% (2/3 VMs). On the 28th, it didn't completely backup a single VM.
On the 28th this error appeared in the event logs and after checking in the snap-in the same errors appear on the warning days as the errored day.
The backup operation that started at '‎2014‎-‎12‎-‎28T20:30:09.774946400Z' has failed with following error code '0x80780049' (None of the items included in backup were backed up.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup
operation once the issue is resolved.
Thanks in advance/

Hi,
Please check the detailed error message in the backup log files in C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup. In additional, you could go through the similar thread to help troubleshoot this issue:

MDM Import Server after error in import file

We setup Import Server and it processed a few files. then we tested what happens when there is an error. it logged a file to LOG folder. but would not start picking up new files we dropped in the READY folder. We removed the file with an error but still nothing; we fixed the error and put the file back and still nothing; we stopped and restarted the server, reposititory and import server but still nothing. Any ideas how we "reset" import server so it will start to process files again ? thanks

Hi Jay
I have faced the similar problem; have done some turn around to make things work, it may not be permanent solution. I have cleared the folders LOG,EXCEPTION(StructuralX), STATUS by copying the files to someother location for future reference and it worked.
Please feel free to revert to me for further clarifications.
thanks

Successfully imported external swf, can not put it into movie clip

Hello all,
I have started learning AS3 and gradually getting used to, trying to put external swf into movie clip.
Successfully imported target swf and put into stage, when I publish this I see target swf is playing.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
BGLoader.load(BGurl);
BGLoader.y = 0;
BGLoader.x = 0;
addChild(BGLoader);
As next step I want to put this swf into movie clip and get more control, but when I publish bellow only I see is empty background, without any errors.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
BGLoader.load(BGurl);
BGLoader.y = 0;
BGLoader.x = 0;
//addChild(BGLoader);
var animMC = MovieClip(BGLoader.content).getChildAt(0) as MovieClip;
addChild(animMC);
Is anything missing?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You can only access Loader.content after Load completed successfully.
Try this,
import flash.events.Event;
var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
BGLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
BGLoader.load(BGurl);
BGLoader.y = 0;
BGLoader.x = 0;
//addChild(BGLoader);
var animMC:MovieClip;
function completeHandler(event:Event)
animMC = event.currentTarget.content;
addChild(animMC);

Iphoto crashed after "successful import" but during the "finishing import" stage - i had selected to delete the imported photos on my phone...iphoto crashed after 90% of the photos had been deleted. Now i can't see any of the photos on iphoto

Hi guys, I was importing about 5000 photos from my phone onto my computer. it said the import was successful but did i want to delete or keep the photos on the original device. I opted to delete photos. The photos started to count down as they deleted and the computer said "finishing import". Once it had deleted down to about 600 photos iphoto simply disappeared, and a message popped up to say it had crashed. I opted to reopen iphoto and saw that not one of the photos had imported! Not only that but now all the photos have been deleted from my phone. I'm really upset if i've lost the last year of photos/ videos....does anyone know what has happened/ if i can recover them?
thanks so much in advance x

Not sure where you got those ideas - simply import your photos and keep the rather than deleting - then after a successful import and at least one back up cycle you can format the card if you want or you can do what I do and keep the photos moving to a new card when that one is full giving you yet another backup - if problems occurs then trouble shoot them - no need to trouble shoot if there is no problem
ad personally I find removing the card and plugging it into my card reader is faster and easier than finding the USB cable and hooking it up, turning on the camera, verifying that tty e battery is charged, etc - and it eliminates a point of failure in the USB cable and the chance of the camera battery running out - but that is clearly a personal choice
You are overthinking this - it is simple
a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Disk usage after importing movie files into iMovie

The movie files on my iMac consume about 200 gig of space on a 1TB hard drive.
It seems that after I imported them into iMovie, much more of my hard rive is consumed.
Does importing the movie files into iMovie double the disk space used?
Len in NC

Yes you should expect that imported movies will be much larger than the original on the camera. That's because the camera's AVCHD format records a full movie frame only about once a second. In between it stores only differences from the previous frame. That saves a lot of space, but requires a lot more processing power to display the movie during editing. It would also require reprocessing of multiple frames each time you split a clip somewhere that happens not to be a fully-recorded frame.
That's why all of Apple's video software (even Final Cut Studio) converts AVCHD at import time to a format that makes each frame independent, but that uses several times as much space. Actually the pro software uses an even bulkier format than iMovie, to provide more bits per pixel, so that you can do more extensive post processing without loss of quality.
You may want to get one or more big external drives (preferably firewire 800 for speed) to hold your imported movie files.

I am trying to import movie files into to iMovie. They are home videos so I use handbrake and VLC to put them onto the computer and convert them to MPEG-4 files. I successfully imported two of the videos but the others are not working, they are all MPEG-4

Imported .mov files not showing up in IMovie

I downloaded 6-7 .mov files yesterday. All fairly short 5-10 second clips. The first 3 imported just fine and showed up in IMovie where I am editing a movie.
Afterwards, when I selected "import" the computer responded the same way, as if it was importing, creating thumbnails, etc and the video shows up in finder in the right place but it does not show up in IMovie and I cannot use it in my movie.
I selected "show all clip" and still they do not show up
I tried importing to iPhoto first and then to iMovie but it still does not show up. It does the same thing - acts like it is importing, creating thumbnails etc.
THe first three that I did are still there, just fine.

Thanks for responding. These videos were shot on a colleague's camera then loaded to an FTP server for me to download. I have them as MP4s (though I've tried to import them after converting to .mov and .avi, still to no avail).
I've loaded them into iPhoto, but still nothing shows up in iMovie when I click the "iPhoto Videos" tab. It's like iMovie can't see them, even though I can see and play them when I go back to iPhoto.
One other point of interest: I tried the same process in my older version of iMovie HD, and there they would load only as audio.
I'm flummoxed.
