My iMovie isn't opening -- it worked fine earlier today and now nothing

I worked on a couple movies today, deleted a few projects and a couple hours later my iMovie has just stopped coming up. I don't know what to do. I read somewhere to put iMovie in the trash but I have several things on there that I don't want trashed so that isn't an option for me. I'm so frustrated. I have the snow leopard (I think) - the one before the new system that came out this year. I haven't updated cause when I bought my new video camera th esales woman said that the new system doesn't work with this camera --- so now I have a new camera I can't even use cause the iMovie won't open. It comes up on the top - just that informational stuff but not the actual iMovie -- I scrolled down for check for updates and it popped up for a millisecond. Don't know what to do - tried turning the computer off but still nothing.

Try this:
Reboot your Mac, while holding down the Shift key (this is called Safe Boot Mode). When you see the timer start spinning, and eventually see the text Safe Boot Mode, let go of the Shift key.
When you see the Desktop launch iMovie and see if it can load the program.
If it fails, try deleting the Preferences file for iMovie.
Go to Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Library > Preferences > look for com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
If you have an earlier version of iMovie installed it might be named something like com.apple.iMovie8.plist.
Move that file to the desktop by dragging it out of the folder. Or even drag it to the trash. Try launching iMovie again.

Firefox was working fine earlier today and now when I try opening it, I get this message: Firefox does not know how to connect to server" and no pages will load. Internet Explorer works fine.

I have changed nothing on my computer, and it was opening and functioning fine this morning. However, everytime I try to open it, I get a message box saying "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features." And when the page actually opens, it says "Unexpected response from server
Firefox doesn't know how to communicate with the server.
Check to make sure your system has the Personal Security Manager
installed.
This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server."
Nothing will load and I don't know what's wrong!

Did Firefox update to 4.0.1?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Thank you,

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

Help! Getting iTunes Error 11503 and Error (-50) was working fine this morning and now nothing

My iTunes has been working fine until this afternoon and now when I go to download music I am getting error code 11503 or (-50) Help, please!

Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app, or perhaps a big music file. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
Close iTunes.
Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
Restart iTunes.
All should be fine.
If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

IMovie is not letting me drag and drop transitions, music, text boxes. Worked fine all along and now nothing. What happened?

iMovie has always let me "drag and drop" transitions, music, text boxes etc into my Project. This morning it is not allowing me to "drag and drop" anything. This is for a client and I am so frustrated. What happened to make it stop letting me "drag and drop"?

I have only dragged Titles to the project. When I did, it worked best not to drag and release onto the video strip (like with the old version) but just above the strip. When you drag and hover above the strip you get a little pointer to the starting point on the strip. Hope this helps.

I bought Apple TV3 , it was working fine until today and stopped showing the status light. Please help.

try another cable it's a std cable that most consumer electronic use
if that does not help then I would try to connect it by a microUSB cable to see if I could restore the firmware from a computer running itunes
if that does not help then I would say that the appletv have died

Iphoto 09 worked fine for a week - NOW NOTHING!!

So I upgraded to Iphoto 09 last week and everything worked fine. This weekend I did the facial recognition process across 40 k photos. It took almost 30 hours but completed the process and yesterday everything seemed to be working just fine.
Today I get this new message "The Photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Iphoto"
Then we get a long wait and the message "examining photo library" followed by an excruciatingly long wait and a new message : YOU cant open your current library with this version - you have made changes using a newer version"
Not true - I am opening the NEWLY loaded version - have checked 5 times or more today
What can I do to fix this please

If the Command-Option technique doesn’t work: Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Camera app on iPad only gives me a blank screen. It worked fine earlier today. .

The camera app on my iPad gives me a blank screen so I can't take pics or videos. It worked earlier today.

Close the Camera app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Camera app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

I cannot get the icloud to load any of the apps. It worked fine earlier today and yesterday. What is wrong?

You said:
"whatever is attached to usb port is not recognized and there are no drivers."
This imples that your computer does not see any device, not just the iPod when it is connected ot a USB port. This points to a major problem with Windows or a hardware problem. Use the WIndow's troubleshooting to get the USB ports to work.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Hi @Annamalai007
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I see that your Simplepass was working until this morning when it was not. You have uninstalled and reinstalled software and updated the drivers but no change.
Was there any updates installed?
Have you tried dong a restore back to when it was all working? HP PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
Next I would do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
If the issue still remains I suggest you do a recovery back to factory. HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8) . During the recovery process you will notice an option to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. If you have not recently done one I suggest you do one now.
