My daughter created a movie using iMovie 11, which she has worked on for a month. When trying to save it on a jump drive she was asked to "finalize" the movie, and while this was running (quoted 13 hours!) she received an error message. Now there is no record of it at all, I have looked in trash etc. Any ideas how I could try and retrieve the file?

The file cannot be reloaded in iMovie using File > Open Recent ??
There is no trace of the file in a Spotlight search?
The project files are not under <user>/Movies/iMovie Projects ??
Finalizing creates small, medium and large version of the finished video. It does take a long time, but it should not destroy your project files.
Oh, and you really MUST have a backup of your files. You can expect to lose files if you have no other copies of them.

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?

Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs. Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

the filereference class is for downloading and uploading files.
if you want to load xml, use the xml class.
and, if you want to write to an xml file and don't want to use server-side code, wait.

All notes on 4S gone. Any idea how this could happen? Have never synced notes. They are just gone.

All notes on 4S gone. Any idea how this could happen? Have never synced notes. They are just gone.

Well, I know in iOS 5 they can be linked to e-mail accounts, not sure if you had that setup or not.
For future reference, use a program like Evernote, amazing and free, plus dedicated PC apps if you want to view notes on your computer.

Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Because soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not.

Question
Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Your upgrade process notifies me that it is not compatible with Avast so I always delete it. Soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not. Please help.

Avast needs to update their Web Rep add-on for Firefox 5.0.
You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast for Firefox 5.

TS1398 My ipod touch will not connect to our wifi all of a sudden. It has worked fine for 6 months and now just has stopped connecting. I have done all the trouble shooting tips available. Any other ideas?

We bought this itouch for our daughter for Christmas (2011), It has worked fine all this time until now. All of a sudden it will not connect to our home wi fi. All the other ipods/iphones/laptops and desktop are connecting fine so I know it is not the router itself. I have tried all the standard troubleshooting tips (forgetting the network and resetting it on the ipod, turning it off an on, plugging it in and updating the software, we even restored it completely from itunes as a new ipod). It lists the network as available but then when you try to connect it just sits there with the little circle icon thing spinning, trying to connect but never does.Please help!

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

Rented a movie on iTunes, still had 27 days till it expired but when loaded it to watch, said it had expired. Was not able to watch movie on trip. Later on, came back as being able to watch movie. What is happening here?

I have an iPad 2. So does my wife. We recently went on a trip and downloaded movies to watch on the plane. My wife watched 3/4 of her movie and then fell asleep for an hour. When she went back to watch the remaining last quarter of the movie, it said it had expired. It also said that all the other movies that she had downloaded within the past 2-3 days had expired. I had a similar problem with a movie I rented. I went to view it and it came up and said it couldn't load the content and then said the movie had expired. I wasn't able to watch the movie on my flight which was quite annoying. Since returning home later in the day, I still had it saying it was expired, but now it is coming back and saying I have 27 days (which is correct). What is going on here? Someone at the apple store in NYC said to close the app but I find I don't even know how to do that anymore with the new version. Used to be you double clicked on the button and then got a minus sign which allowed you to close the app. It doesn't do that anymore. I also tried turning the iPad off for at least 5 minutes and trying it again and that didn't work either. Anyone else had this problem? Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

force quit app. double click home button and slide app up and off page

I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 or 64 bit version. When using version 5.0.3 of Bootcamp, I keep getting the message that it is a 32 bit disk. Any ideas how to get it to recognize the 64 bit version?

I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 bit or 64 bit versions. When trying to setup a dual boot for my Mac Mini using Bootcamp version 5.0.3, I get the message that I have the 32 bit version of Windows. Any ideas on how I can get it to recognize the 64 bit version so that I can partition my "Mini"?

If by "OEM" you mean the disk came with another Win computer, it won't work. You need either a full retail verison or the "System Builders' Edition." I used the latter for my BC installation and it worked flawlessly and was marked as 64-bit--no mention of 32-bit.

There used to be a tab where I could click to go back to my home page. Now there isn't one. I need it back. How can I change back to the old look?

I have looked and looked and can't find a way to go back easily to my home page. I liked the ease of the version just before this one that I just updated to. Can I go back to the other version?

If you do not see the 'Home' button with the house icon, right click on the tool bar at the top, and you want to go to 'customize'. In there, you should see a home button with a house icon that you can drag to your URL bar and put where ever you want on there. if you don't see it in there, close that box, and right click again. This time, check off all of the optional toolbars and see if one of them has the home button. If so, you can go to customize again, then click on it and drag it to the place you want.

My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes. when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution saying i need to restore. does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem

My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes. when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution on the phone. How do i fix this?

Hold down the power button and home button at the same time until the phone powers on, shuts back off, powers on again and continue to hold it until it shows the itunes logo to plug in to itunes. This should allow you to restore without unlocking it.
