IPhoto movies have disappeared from iMovie 09

Hello,
I have been using iLife '09 for several months now. Up until a week ago, videos from my camera that were in iPhoto have always appeared in iMovie under "iPhoto Videos". These have now disappeared... how could this have happened and how do I get them back? iMovie would always automatically search for movies in iPhoto and create thumbnails and it now tells me there are "No Matching Videos" when I select "iPhoto Videos".
The projects that I created with these videos remain in my project library and I can edit them.
Any help is much appreciated...

Woohoo!!! What a great tip. I've searched high and low for a solution to this and found miles of posts that didn't disclose this simple fix. Per your tip, I turned the music off for all my iPhoto slideshows (I only have 4) and, like magic, this triggered iMovie to rebuild the clip thumbnails. Now my iMovie "iPhoto Videos" is populated with all my clips neatly organized by iPhoto event. Neat!

  • Movies are disappearing from iMovie 10.0.5

    I recently downloaded a video to iMovie from my video camera.  It was there yesterday and I viewed it many times (I did not use it to create a project), but today the movie is now gone. I have searched everywhere.  In addition, the movies that ARE displaying under the iMovie Library seem to have no associated save file. I have also searched everywhere to find those save files in hopes I could locate the one that is missing.  I can find all the OLD movies from the older version of iMovie, but cannot locate any of the new movies and their associated save files.

    Do you mean you want to extend the duration of a still in the movie and you no longer have the iMovie project on your computer?  (If you still have the project it is much better to edit this and re-export).
    After importing the finished movie back into a new iMovie project you can split it either side of the part you want to lengthen (see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#movf8b8fc9b2) then increase the duration of the split out part.
    Hope this helps,

  • Where are my movies? Purchased movies have disappeared.

    Hi All,
    I have just discovered that some of my movies have disappeared from the cloud. No warning. Nothing. I had many of my movie backed up on a hard drive but it failed recently. No worries I thought. Rebuild from the cloud. Nope.
    It would seem that when the licensing agreements between Apple and a film maker end the movies are gone. This means movies I have paid for are gone. Sorry sucker. You lose.
    If Apple had at least sent an email warning of the end in license to allow people to download a movie before it was lost I would not feel so betrayed. Can you imagine someone walking into your house and taking something from you that you purchased a few years ago? Sounds like theft does it not? At the very least fraud.
    I am very disappointed in Apple. Lesson learned. iTunes is dead to me.

    Your assumption is incorrect, the store's terms say that you may not be able to redownload an item :
    As you may not be able to subsequently download certain previously-acquired iTunes Eligible Content, once you download an item of iTunes Eligible Content, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage it, and you may want to back it up.
    And some items (i.e. audiobooks and tones) are not redownloadable whether or not they remain in the store. Any other item could be removed at any time, as far as I know the rights-holder does not have to give Apple any notice that they will be doing so.

  • How do I save a still that I have extracted from iMovie and save it to iPhoto?

    I'm trying to save a still that I have extracted from imovie.  So far, all I can see is that it can be saved in the imovie project.  I need to save it to iphoto.  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm running Lion and have aperture too.

    Imovie 11? It isn't that easy. You could navigate to the movie event, drag that into Streamclip, and use MPeg streamclip to make a still from the movie. The freeze frame isn't a photo you can get out of imovie, as far as I know.
    Here is a youtube video on how to do it with iMovie 11.

  • Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

    ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • My labels have disappeared from every pic in my iPhoto library after upgrade to work with yosemite

    MMy labels have disappeared from every picture in my iPhoto library after upgrading to work with Yosemite.

    I didn't do anything to the LaCie when I got it. 
    Then that's likely the issue.
    Select the drive on the Desktop and go File -> Get Info. You can find out the format in that window:

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • For some unknown reason, the print themes have disappeared from iphoto 11 so cannot print. How can I fix this?

    I cannot undderstand why the print themes have disappeared from iphoto 11 so I can no longer print photos from my imac. Can anyone advise me please?

    When the device is set to Automatic for time, it is pulling the time from the cell towers.  Contact the carrier to ensure they are not experiencing issues.
    Also, check the time on your computer that the device syncs with, make sure that the time (and time zone) on the computer are accurate.

  • All of my safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I did not delete or move them

    My safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I have not deleted or moved them. Any ideas on how I can recover them?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Safari
    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

  • I'm not very techy, so be gentle! i am using midvd app to burn home movies to dvd from iMovie '11 version 9.0.9. It now burns the dvd but there is nothing on the disc. its not recognised by the iMac or any other dvd player.

    I was using midvd app(i never had idvd) to make home movies on dvd from imovie '11 version 9.0.9 with no problems before xmas 2013. ive just tried to make a new one today and it wont work.
    It seems to burn to the dvd (you can see a mark on the back of the dvd as if it has some info on it) but it wont play on imac (just says blank disc) or any other dvd player.
    I have tried reinstalling midvd app and also tried 2 other dvd creator apps and the same thing happens the app says its burning and the external superdrive whirs like its doing something but it wont play.
    The only thing i have done since xmas is all the updates to the operationg system and updated imovie (i didnt like the new version so went back to using the previous one)
    Any ideas - i am new to all things mac!

    When you export your movie from iMovie, are you choosing H.264? That is the only compression method supported by this miDVD. Youc an give this a try first:
    Use Share > Export to Quicktime > Movie to Quicktime Movie > choose Options and then make your choices in Settings, etc (you can choose whatever size your video is - mine was 720 HD at that time):
    If that does not work, I'd suggest going to their support site as they claim to be able to burn to DVD.... I just checked their site and here is their list of supported file types:

  • ITunes Movie Rentals disappear from iPhone a day after transfer from Mac

    OK, this has happened to me twice now. Here's the scenario:
    I have a long, international flight. I rent multiple movies so that I can have films to watch both to and from the destination.
    I browse for the movies on my Mac (OS X Lion, current release)
    I rent four movies on my Mac.
    I then transfer them, one at a time, to my iPhone--a 4S with 5.0.1. (I do this because in earlier releases, a movie would sometimes disappear if I tried to sync more than one movie at a time).
    After it's done, I see four movies listed on myiPhone in the Videos app.
    About 2 days later, I look at iTunes and decide to load some audiobooks. I look at the Movies tab and it shows only one rental movie on the iPhone, the last movie transferred. The other three movies are nowhere: they do not show as on the Mac or on the Phone.
    I check the phone. Only the one movie is present.
    At no point did I start to play any of the movies. It appears that the first three rental movies transferred disappeared from the phone as if they expired 24 hours after the transfer.
    And--just to make it fun--this is the second time the exact same scenario has played out. I had a long international flight at the end of September and on iOS 4 the same thing happened before that flight. All but the last movie transferred vanished from the phone after a day.
    Anyone else run into this issue?
    FYI: I have contacted support to see if I can get a credit for the "lost" rentals. But as of now I'm afraid to transfer rented movies to my phone.

    Yep.  Me too. Getting ready to fly overseas. My iTunes on my computer says they are on my iPad, but they aren't. How does that work when I can't 'find them' anywhere on my iPad?
    3 rentals lost.

  • I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    OK, I understand.  Try this ... it's much safer.  It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
    While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
    Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS.  So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

  • HT204406 I did a sync in itunes and now almost all of my songs have disappeared from my itunes library. I'm sure they're in the cloud, but what if I want to play one on my computer? How do I find them?

    I did a sync in itunes and now almost all of my songs have disappeared from my itunes library. I'm sure they're in the cloud, but what if I want to play one on my computer? How do I find them?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

    Hello surig84,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your iPad.  I recommend reviewing the following article specifically the section titled "Authorize using the correct account name."
