IOS Imovie project not recognized by iMovie 10.0.6

Hi,
I have video projects that I created in iMovie IOS that I cannot open in iMovie 10.0.6. I export movies using iTunes onto my desktop but I cannot open them in iMovie. The files show up on my desktop with a IMovie icon; when I double click on them to open the files try and launch text edit.
I am using an iPhone 5 with IOS 8.1.1 and macbook pro 2010 with OS X 10.10.1.
Please help,
Ryan

Did you, or anybody else find a solution to this, its driving me mad!

IPhone 4 w/ ios 4.0 not recognized by iTunes 10.3

When I plug in my iPhone 4 with ios 4.0, it is not recognized by the new iTunes 10.3.
When I plug it in, it works like a charger, it charges, but its not recognized.
What should I do?

Update to the current iOS. Why wouldn't you? If part of you system is current, and part is out of date, there is always a chance of incompatibility.

IPhone 5 will not boot up past startup screen after attempted update to iOS 8. Not recognized by computer.

Like everyone else today, I attempted to make the move to iOS 8, using my Mac's iTunes. All was running smoothly, the progress bar was nearing the end when I received the error that "the iPhone software update server could not be contacted." With a now useless phone, I restarted it, hoping for the best as I could do nothing. I am now stuck with a phone which will turn on to the white startup screen and black Apple Logo, then instantly shut down, leaving me to repeat the process. If I hold down the home button, I can enter what seems to be "Recovery Mode," with a red iTunes Logo, as opposed to the usual blue. From here, all internet sources I have found suggest that I should restore the phone, but that's really where I hit the problem. When I plug the phone in, when in Recovery Mode, I simply receive the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted" error again, leaving the phone not recognized by iTunes. In non-recovery mode, the phone appears to simply turn off so fast that iTunes has no time to find it.
Any one with similar problems or solutions?

This what happened to my iPhone 5 after I updated to iOS 8.0;
The update process was done smootly without problems thru
Over the Air.
Now when I cold start/boot my iPhone 5, my apple logo appears as it was
in iOS 7, but after 30 seconds or so, my Apple Logo dissappears the
screen goes black for 5-6 seconds, but then viola! I am at the Log-On
screen... Then I start using my iPhone.
Just like Chris above, I have done 10 reboots, (complete shut down and
restart), its always the same...
Other than this, my iPhone works just fine. I will not re-install the iOS.
From my past experience, re-installing the iOS does not change
these minor differences...

IMovie Projects not recognized

I recently backed up my computer on an external harddrive using time machine, wiped the computer, and started over.
Later, I opened iMovie and created two different projects. I exported one of them called "delete service" so I could email it to someone as a draft and didn't export the "insert service" project. Next time I went to open iMovie, the project I had exported was no longer there. I went into finder and BOTH files were there.... I tried clicking and dragging the file to get it to show up in iMovie, and it almost looked like it was opening, but it never showed up. When I went into my external harddrive and moved those iMovie projects to the folder, still nothing.
I deleted my prefences file, still nothing.
Running iMovie '11

This happens in iMovie 10.0.2 too if that helps. I use 9.0.9 because in v10 Quicktime recordings are red.

FCP project not recognized

I have older projects created in FCP 3 and need to open them in FCP 5. FCP 5 doesn't recognize the timeline as a FCP file. Computer is reading the files as "Unix Executable File" Can anyone help?

Sounds like your files may have lost their essential 'fcp-ness'. Try this tip for a solution, but first look at Andy's response, he came up with an easier way of handling it. Only if his doesn't work, you might try mine...

Is there a way to import a project from iOS iMovie 2.0 to OSX iMovie 10.0.3?

Is there a way to import a project from iOS iMovie 2.0 to OSX iMovie 10.0.3?
I can get the project file on my MacBook desktop, but can't find a way to import it into iMovie 10.0.3

No you can not.
You can connect USB 3 components to you MB if you wish to use them but will only run at USB 2 specs.

Burn imovie to dvd-"not recognized"

I spent 5 days and about 26 hours making this iMovie. I bought the **** DVD's to burn it on to 42 of them for work. I finalized the project numerous times, did the "Media Browser" thing and chose the file sizes. I insert the DVD to burn, and it claims that it is "not recognized" in order to burn it. I am beyond frustrated and NO, Apple, I will not give you any more of my money. Helllllllpppp!!!

When you insert the Blank DVD in the finder with nothing else open.
Does the finder recognise the Mounted Blank DVD?
IF it does try burning a small file onto the blank DVD through the Finder.
If it fails what is the error that the Finder tells you?
If this works then proceed
Use a Free App like Burn http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Drag and drop your movie files then click Burn. Job Done. 
Alternative
you should be able to burn using iDVD.

IOS trailer project won't open in iMac imovie

How do you open an iOS trailer project on my iMac imovie? I see the trailer where it is saved but it saved it as a document, and will not open in imovie.

Hi,
You can try uploading the project to iTunes from inside the iOS iMovie app. Try tapping the share button. Once it is in iTunes, you should be able to watch it on your mac.

I have iMovie 09 and have successfully used an older Sony Handycam to directly capture and record. Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized in iMovie09. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

Hi jcm2656,
iMovie ’09 does not support the Sony HDr-PJ230 camcorder. See this article for a list of cameras supported for that version of iMovie -
iMovie '09: Camcorder Support
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290#1
iMovie ’11 however, does support it. See this article -
Apple - iLife '11 Help - iMovie ’11 Supported Cameras
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
Note that iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-60p from this Camcorder.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

IMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized in Yosemite

On this page
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS2472
iMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized
it says:
In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
Select the file com.apple.mio.VDCAssistant.plist and delete.
Restart your system.
You should now be able to use your iSight camera with iMovie.
However, in Yosemite, it only has this file name
com.apple.cmio.VDCAssistant.plist
and I don't want to delete it as instructed without someone who knows telling me it won't hurt my newly installed and thus far working well OS 10.10.1, with iMovie 7.1.4 on my iMac 24 inch, Early 2008, 2.8 GHz Intel Dore 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It worked with Leopard, and I don't recall having to use the above mentioned support page.

Contact Apple. I believe you have a hardware issue there if it's not showing up in your System profiler.

SONY HDR XR150 - Camcorder is not recognized by iMOVIE

Dear all:
_I own the Sony HDR XR150 camcorder and cannot get my MAC to recognize that my camcorder is connected._
I have a Mac laptop Powerbook G4 and am running OS X version 10.4.11. I have iMOVIE 6.03 (267.2).
When I am in iMOVIE the camcorder is not recognized. :[
It states "No camcorder attached" even when I have small Firewire cable running from camcorder to larger firewire cable plugged into MAC. My footage on camcorder is on hard drive. I have no idea if the footage was taped in a certain format and I mention this because there are lots of formats written about in this forum - I just assumed everything was recorderd in HD. I simply hit record on camcorder to tape footage. When connected, I click on a button on camcorder for USB connect that uses the Internal Hard Drive (where my footage is). However, my camcorder is not recognized on iMOVIE.
I am worried that the problem is I do not have an Intel based Mac. The software that came with Sony camcorder called PMB (Picture Motion Browser - only works with Windows.)
This is what I dug up online.
Tapeless Camcorder Support
iMovie '09 works with many tapeless camcorders that record to flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or DVD media. These devices use a USB 2.0 cable and include camcorders using MPEG-2 (standard definition), MPEG-4, AVCHD, and H.264 formats. If you use the AVCHD format you will need a Mac with an Intel-based Core Duo processor or better.
Due to the wide range of media types, and the different ways manufacturers store video on these media types, not all tapeless camcorders are compatible with iMovie '09.
NTSC Camcorders
PAL Camcorders

*CAN ANYONE CLUE ME IN AS TO HOW TO GET MY SONY CAMCORDER TO BE RECOGNIZED IN IMOVIE?*

My friend just wrote this to me as a possible solution...
It doesn't surprise me that AVCHD is only supported on Intel machines. Apple tends to stop updating older products/software in favor of their newer lines. To their credit, high compression HD codecs are processor intensive, and older hardware would have a hard time with it.
The camera may have some alternate options for video file type... Check the manual or help docs. Unfortunately, that could mean SD recording rather than HD.
I DON'T KNOW IF MY FRIEND'S INFORMATION MIGHT HELP SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME EVEN BETTER IDEAS AS A SUGGESTION. AVCHD is a high-def video format that allows HD camcorders and some digital cameras to record video at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. SOUNDS LIKE MY FRIEND IS SAYING IF I DON'T RECORD IN HD ON MY SONY CAMCORDER MAYBE MY IMOVIE WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH IT. BUT MY IMOVIE DOES NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE MY CAMCORDER... SO I DON;T THINK HIS SUGGESTION WILL WORK...
SUGGESTIONS?

Project iOS iMovie full screen to projector

How do I project an iOS iMovie full screen to projector from my iPad

When you say iMovie shuts down when you try to play your project in full screen, does iMovie crash? Or does iMovie stay open. I have no solution as my iMovie will crash if I try to play full screen. The only work around is to export to Quicktime and play that in full screen. But all that is labor intensive.Good luck.

IMovie '08 7.1.4 is not recognizing my new Verizon iPhone

My iMovie '08 7.1.4 is not recognizing my new Verizon iPhone. How can I get iMovie '08 to recognize my Verizon iPhone so I can import the videos of my kids from there.

You might consider upgrading to iMovie 11. It would cost about $15.
For iMovie 08, I would try to import the movies into iPhoto. Then you can access them in iMovie through the iPhoto Event.

Avchd movies from lumix FZ100 not recognized by imovie

avchd movies from lumix FZ100 not recognized by imovie

iMovie does not edit MPEG2 natively. However, iMovie will import directly from a supported camera. During the import, the footage will be converted from MPEG2 to Apple Intermediate Codec.
If you hook up your camera, it should import just fine.
For existing footage that you have stored on your hard drive, there are a couple of options.
1) The MPEG Streamclip option. With MPEG Streamclip (free) (and the MPEG2 Playback component which you already have) you can convert the MPEG2 to a iMovie compatible format like DV or AIC or h.264.
2) You might be able to "fake out" iMovie into thinking that your hard drive footage is really on a camera. To do this, you will need to create a disk image of your camera, and move the footage back to the disk image. Alternatively, you could drag the footage back to your camera and import from there. Perhaps someone who has your camera can give detailed instructions for this. The disk image must have the identical file structure that your camera does. (This is how imovie knows it is a camera.)
Disk images can be created by Disk Utility, which comes with your Mac. It is found in the Applications/Utilities folder, and is also handy if you ever need to format a drive.
