ITunes 7 and IMovie 3.03

IMovie 3.03
Quicktime 6.5.3
ITunes 7
OS X 10.2.8
Problem: When I place an audio file in the IMovie timeline it places there OK, but it will not play.
Background: I think I understand that if I upgrade to OS 10.3, and IMovie 4 my problem is fixed.
Request: Is there any fix for my current configuration?
imac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

appledrich,
Some where along the line the DRM on iTunes Music Store songs was changed and I'm quite certain it will not work with iMovie 3.
I think you'll need to upgrade to at least iMovie 4 to solve your problem. Not sure where you can get that and iMovie 5 requires at least 10.3.4.
So as a work around you might try burning your songs to a music CD and then reimporting them.

  • Imovie won't let me drag the songs from the music and sound effects into my 'project'... I have tried everything, restarting itunes and imovie, dragging the songs to my desktop and then onto imovie, youtube tutorials...

    Don't drag them, import them from Media.

  • What are "videos" besides itunes and imovie projects?

    My system information says i have 76 GB in videos but I only have four movies and two TV shows on iTunes and no imovie projects/other large videos? What else could "videos" entail. Trying to free up some memory space. Thanks.

    Where are you looking?  When I look under System Preferences > About This Mac > More Info > Storage, I see a category called "Movies" but no category called "Videos".  So I cannot imagine where you're looking.

  • ITunes and iMovie

    I had opened an iMovie/iDVD of a project from a few months ago.
    I got several messages that a certain song used in the project was not authorized on the computer from iTunes. That was really weird - it is the only computer I use and houses all of my songs in iTunes.
    When I cancel the alert, the movie would not play the song. Any ideas what happened?
    This referes to iMovie 6 (will have 08 soon).

    My brand new Mac Pro started getting 'you're computer is not authorized to play this itunes song. please authorize' windows. It then takes you into itunes to enter your login and password....'congratulations you are now authorized to play this song. The problem is before you can even close that window a new window opens...you are not authorized to...' over and over and over again. These were all itune songs, a new mac pro and all mac software! Of course this didn't start happening till I was 3/4ths through a very important project that has been dragged down 2 weeks past its finish date! I finally gave up with the itunes (no)'help line' and asked to return all my just purchased itunes songs and have my money refunded.($200) What? It's ALL out fault but refund your money? You must be crazy! We obviously could care less how long you've supported us! I've been a mac user 13 years and I am so angry I'm ready to throw my new mac pro out the window over the itunes/imovie fiasco . I spent a week + with the (no)"help" people at itunes. Just completely uninstall itunes and quicktime., take all songs and media off the computer, redownload and reinstall itunes, quicktime, songs etc. Gee, that didn't work. We don't know! You better call the tech line. We have no idea what it might be. By the way, whether or not you spent 100's of dollars buying itunes songs and this problem is completely our doing you may be charged for the tech line! The 1st 2 people had no idea but the 3rd person on the tech line said....uh, you don't need to explain, we know all about it! Oh, that's why it took me 10 days of pure **** emailing and talking to people at apple to find that out?
    Does anyone at Apple care anymore? I see the message below mine mentions ilife 08 will take care of it. Thanks Apple for not letting me know! I guess it would be too much to expect to be treated with ANY sense of respect having just bought my umpteenth mac computer which comes with imovie 06 to be notified that imovie 08 would fix this!!!!!!
    F You!

  • Recently upgraded OS and apps but both iTunes and iMovie failed to upgrade.  Had a slow connection so had to stop and start a few times.

    The two apps show as upgraded but their version tells a different story.  They also show up as needing to be upgraded.  Can I do a complete uninstall then reinstall?  As they are default programs, is this an option and how would I proceed.  Need advise!

  • Converting .WMV files to iTunes and iMovie 08 compatible files -- Possible?

    I have QuickTime Pro for Windows (XP Home, SP3). I also have a MacBook Pro 17" notebook (OS X 10.5 Leopard) with iLife 08, an iPod Touch, and an iPhone 3G. I want to be able to view (and sometimes edit) -- on my MacBook Pro -- videos (with audio) that exist as .WMV files which I have downloaded from a friend's website to a Shared Folder on my PC (which is connected to my MacBook on a LAN). I'll probably break down and spend the $30 to upgrade QuickTime on my Mac to QuickTime Pro so that I won't have to work through a Shared Folder, but that's neither here nor there for the moment. What I wanted to do was to use QT Pro to convert the .WMV files to an Apple-compatible format, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that. It will go ahead and APPEAR to convert the file during Export, changing the file extension from .wmv to .mp4, for example, but the exported (converted?) file won't play in the QuickTime Player. I can press the Play button, and the marker moves as if the file were playing, but no movie appears on the screen and no audio is heard. Will I have to get third-party software to effect the conversion?

    Purchase one of the upgrades and use QuickTime Pro (iMovie '08 is still not supported).

  • Can't add songs from iTunes to iMovie

    I'm having a new problem. I have the latest versions of iTunes and iMovie. I've used iMovie before and never encountered this - I can't add any songs to a track. When I try to do this, I get the error: "iMovie song could not be used because the original file could not be located." Please help.

    I know this thread's fairly old, but I tried everything mentioned here and in a few other threads I saw on the web, and finally I found something that worked: It seems iMovie couldn't access the "main" library, but COULD access songs that were a assigned to playlists, when you select the playlist in the music selection pane. So, I made a playlist called "global" and put my entire library into it. I selected that playlist in iMovie, and now it can find every song I have!

  • Can't find i-tunes library in iPhoto and iMovie

    Everything looks o.k.
    The only thing I can't use is iTunes when creating a slideshow in iPhoto or a movie in iMovie
    Any suggestions?

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
    iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.

  • IMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

    iMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

    Share your movie to the Media Browser. Then, in iDVD, drag your movie in from the Media Browser at the bottom right.
    THe Share to iDVD option is only activated if your source material is DV or AVCHD.

  • I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

    I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

    I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
    As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
    At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
    Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
    NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

  • Can I use downloaded songs from iTunes into iMovie and burn DVDs?

    If I use downloaded songs from iTunes in iMovie, will I be able to make DVDs of my movie without losing music files?

    Hi A
    Probably but iMovie and I guess iDVD is fussy about in what format the audio
    is in. It should be 48k/.aiff
    If You in iTunes make an audio CD with the material You need in Your movie
    and then Use this CD in iMovie it will work.

  • Browsing other folders and ext. HDD rather than iTunes and iPhoto - iMovie 09

    Hi all,
    Just wondering if there was any way you can browse other folders within your local hard drive or external hard drive rather than using the default iTunes and iPhoto directories?
    I have audio and images located in other parts of my hard drive, including an external hard drive.
    It would be great to be able to broswe through all my other folders and directories.
    Cheers

    iMovie is part of a suite of apps - iLIfe, so it prefers its 'neighbors'.
    to add files from other locations, simply use MacOS' drag-'n-drop functionality: open a Finder Window, go to the file's location, grab it with the mouse and drop it into your Project Timeline.
    This procedure does NOT guarantee iM accepts 'any' files!

  • Can play music in itunes and on ipod in imovie says not authorized

    Hi I have purchased several songs in itunes and when I attempt to add them to movies in imovie it says that the computer is not authorized. I authorize the computer and itunes states it was successful return to imovie and then get the same message. I have deauthorized and reauthorized the computer and still no luck.
    Any thoughts?

    Yes, I have this problem as well. I have synced and re-synced an entire library three times now (which is not easy when you have almost 10k tracks to upload) and the same issue occurs on some tracks, but not others. I can't really see a commonality amongst the files to figure out why the ipod won't play the songs. They play fine on Itunes and when the unit itself is hooked up to my computer, but not if you are just listening to it from the Ipod. Strange...hope somebody can answer this question soon...the problem is really irritating.
