Lost clip question

I was working on a project and the clip's file had become corrupted somehow and so the link between the project and the clip itself has disappeared. I found a backup of the original clip and tried to replace the "bad clip" with the "good clip" in the place that the project was directed to (deleted the old clip). I tried to reconnect the media file, because the clip was named the same, but when I open up the reconnect media menu, the area that usually tells me what files are offline is blank. There are some words there that indicate that it knows I have an offline file, but the file name doesn't appear.
I am lost. Somewhat of a novice on this stuff so any help would be great.

No. This is a new issue. I actually found a backup to the clip that the other post is referring to.
I could do what you had suggested, but the problem is that the entire project consists of one clip cut into many pieces. Therefore, if I delete the offending clip, I delete the entire project and all in and out points as well as color treatments that I worked on. Is there any other way to get the project to associate the sequence with the original clip?

Lost clips after adjusting date and time??

I just updated to iMovie 10.0.3 and adjusted a buch of events in iMovie. All of them were incorrectly placed in wrong years when viewing in "by date" format. After adjusting the date and time with the event highlighted, I come to see either all or some (a clip of two) of the event is lost. The good old "missing file" is what I get in the playback window.
I want to go on an anti-iMovie rant as this version has caused me NOTHING but headaches sence I installed it last year but it's MY fault for not having a spare iMovie 9.0 laying around so I cannot revert.
Is there any solution here besides wiping my iMovie library clean and restoring from TM?
Thanks.
EDIT, I just looked in each event in the file system and the original media is not even there anymore but the library size hasnt changed. Wow. I don't get this at all.

There seems to be a serious bug here that has been introduced with iMovie 10.0.3, and reported by several posters. I would recommend you report it using Apple feedback at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
There is probably a particular infrequent set of conditions that have to exist for a clip to be deleted after using the adjust time and date function, but I've seen no posts yet that have clarified this. Any further details you have would be worth reporting - for example did you change the date/time to earlier or later? If only some date/time changed clips have disappeared, do they have anything in common, not shared by the clips which havn't disappeared?
You could restore your library from Time machine or, if there are not many lost clips it may be simpler and quicker s to re-import (or drag and drop) the clips from a backup and correct affected projects. (Maybe you can change their date and time before importing them).
As for the library size were the clips big enough to make a visible difference to the library total?
Have you searched for the missing clips by name?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

Using You Tube video clips question:

After importing several clips from You Tube (of varying quality) to incorporate into an editing project, the clips look okay and play full screen, in the "source" window, but when I put them in the timeline and play them in the "program" window, they are thumbnail size. Why does this happen? I tried converting...but still no luck.

Re: Using You Tube video clips question:
The short answer here is, don't. (Assuming that if it was yours in the first place, you'd have the original and not have to use the upload.)
And Bill, you should know better than to help someone violate copyright law.
yeah, i beg to differ on this. i have 100s of videos on youtube i did back when it first started before i saved my finished projects... (from 2005-2008 i would just record, edit, post, delete, because it was just random junk of me hanging out with friends, or just v-logging about stuff i needed to blow steam about) so one of these days i'll have to go through and download them and burn them for archives. Never say never

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Iphone 5s Lost/Stolen - Questions about Find my Phone on ios7

OK, I have done something very stupid but I need some advice anyway, will likely not ever get my phone back but I'm curious as to how it works.
1) I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s for travel.
2) I installed "find my phone" before leaving Canada
3) I came to China to live for 6 months and I inserted a China Unicom SIM card.
4) I purchased a cell phone plan that has basically no data
5) I then went into my settings and turned off Cellular Data for all apps (this was the stupid thing that I did without thinking).
Therefore, find my phone is off in Cellular Data. Last night my phone was lost and/or stolen. I immediately tried to use "find my phone." As soon as it said my device was offline I realized what I had done and how stupid it was. I did still set the lock and send it a messages so if for some reason it comes online it will be locked, but....here are my questions:
1) Will "find my phone" work over Wifi automatically if Cellular Data is off?
2) If my phone IS in the hands of a thief, is this even helpful? Could a thief just pop out my SIM card, insert their SIM card, somehow bypass my fingerprint/passcode (I know there are hacks for that) and then just turn off / disable Find My Phone? Because if they put in their SIM card and use 3G, but haven't started using Wifi yet, then "find my phone" won't be activated yet, correct?
3) So is my only hope to leave a thief with a worthless brick that they take the phone somewhere and try to use it on Wifi to set it up? IF they insert a new SIM and manage to hack my passcode, BUT they fail to deactivate "find my phone" and then they join a wireless network, would my phone immediately lock

Use Find My iPhone to track iPhone only if the following conditions are met:
1. Find My iPhone is ON and activated.
2. iPhone has Internet connection.
3. iPhone is not switched OFF.

Clipping question

Hi,
I have a JScrollPane that manage a view with very large components and therefore user can view only a small part of components at a given time. In the drawComponent method of the visualised components, I draw a scale using long lines (g.drawLine method).
Up to now, I draw lines that start at 0 x coordinates and that ends at the end of the components (from 0 to component's width). Therefore, a large part of the line is not visualised.
Do I have to clip myself or is java by default not drawing the part of the line that is not visualised ?
If I have to clip, how can I do this (I noticed a graphics.getClipBounds method) and if java knows the clipping area why does java does clip by itself.
I ask this question because if the line is dashed, performances (redraw) are getting very bad !
Thanks a lot.

Ipod Lost/stolen question Find Iphone App

My son has had his ipod stolen and I have a question I can not find an answer to in the discussion pages. On his Ipod I have the wifi turned on and ask to join networks turned off. The find my Iphone app does work on his Ipod, but my question is this will the Ipod connect to an open network that it has never seen before with out being told to connect to the network? My son has a passcode on the screen so it is locked. I have also placed it into lost mode from the find my Iphone App. So now I am kinda just waiting for it to go online so the app will locate it. Am I just wasting my time waiting or will the Ipod auto connect to a network by itself?
Eric

Correct
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing

Rejected Clips Question...

I have some clips in my Events that show both orange lines, used in Project, and red lines, rejected clips. I don't remember nor do I know how to reject a clip. How did these red lines get there? Can I undo them so they are like the other Event clips with just orange lines? Is the red lines affecting my Project?
thank you,
Paul Neathery

Hello, Paul.
Here is a link to the help section for iMove. If I understand your question correctly, I believe it should help you with the rejected clip issue.

Quick multi-clip question..

I have to cut a three camera shoot in the next two hours. I've set up the multi-clip. The three cameras are pegged to the 1,2,3 of the numeric keyboard. When I flip from one camera to the next everything works ... but ... it doesn't make a cut. I could use the icons on the timeline, they work, but it isn't very intuitive or rhythmic (this is a music show). How can I set the 1,2,3 keys to actually make a mark or a cut as move between them?
I'm on the road, no manual, and I remember it being a bit of trick anyway ... wading through the FCP manual for an answer to this particular question (which I've unfortunately forgotten).
All ears,
Ben

Just finished my first 4 minute song. Only ten more to go. Thank you Tom. And Studio X.
Studio X for getting me to go back to the in-board manual, which, with the keywords got me into a whole other set of subject headings, which got me into understand better how they've laid the thing out.
And Tom, for the down and dirty.
Much appreciated,
Ben

Offline clips question

I have a project that I am working on and I have two scratch disks I am working with. I have taken the clips from the one external drive, that I no longer want to use as a scratch disk, and transferred the capture scratch folder into the capture scratch folder on the one scratch disk I want to primarily use. My question is, how do I reconnect all the now offline clips in the time line?

Use te File>Reconnect function and point the clips at the correct piece of media.

Picture / movie clip question

I might be buying a Macbook in the next few days but I was wondering if I can mix pictures and videoclips on the same DVD when burning. I'm currently using DVD Maker for Windows and I'm able to put in a few pictures, followed by a clip and then more picrures, etc... Just want to know if I can do the same thing with the ILife software...
Thanks!
Message was edited by: Rob72

Absolutely! You can make iMovies with both video clips and still photos and put it into iDVD. You can also make slideshows in iPhoto and import into iDVD. You can even put videoclips into iDVD in the slideshow well and burn your movies that way.
You are on the right track by coming to these discussion forums. Keep reading the posts of the iLife applications you will be using, noting who seems to be more expert in each area and you will learn a great deal. Always search for your particular question first; chances are that someone else has already asked what you want to know and you will be able to benefit from all the responses. If no one seems to have your answer, then post a new topic and wait for the responses.
You should also do all the Apple tutorials for each app of iLife that you will be using, to give you more visualization of how they work.
Welcome to Macs!
