My iMovie project has no sound, can I fix this?

My son created an iMovie project today and the sound was working like it should. When I got home, he tried to play the movie but there was no sound. I still heard sounds when I increased the computer volume up and down. I went to the "Media" section in iMovie and selected a song and clicked "Play", but NO sound. I then went into the project using finder (Show package contents) and found the .mov file and played it with Quicktime. The sound was working fine. Logged him out and back, no sound. Restarted the mac, still no sound. Exported the movie (Shared) and played it, sound was working fine.
Are there any cache or preferences that I can remove that might correct this problem. I've seen this problem in the past, but not recently until now.
We are running iMovie HD on a G5 PPC running Tiger.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Hi
My Suggestions (List) - 3a most probably the culprit.
*No Audio in iMovie*
Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
Work around -
• in iTunes - Select needed audio into one new playlist
• Copy/Burn this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
• Use this CD and it's files in the movieproject
Other origins are
1. strange/ailient file formats as -
• .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
• Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
• Close iMovie and other programs
• Start GarageBand
• Make a new GarageBand-project and play some notes
• Close GarageBand and Save
• Now try iMovie again
*3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.*
a. in iMovie pref - deselect ”Playback via Camera”
b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
without me knowing why.
4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11
• Toogle audio-scimming by cmd-K

Objects in different layers changed position when i opened the project file, why? Can i fix this in a non painful and quick way?

Im making a frame-by-frame animation and today when i opened my project som objects had changed position while others didn't. This countinues throughout the whole timeline and sometimes they change position.
Here is before:
Here is after:
I think it has something to do with me changing the documents size. But it didnt happen yesterday when i did the change, only today when i opened the file again, and i cant change it back and make things right again.
If someone knows what happened and if i can fix this it would mean A LOT to me.

There is really no way around backing up your files regularly.
Flash is sadly not the most stable program.
Make it a habit to save a new version every half an hour or so, that will diminish your losses.
Consider it a "warning shot" and consider yourself lucky that you didn`t get the infamous "flash couldn`t open file" message ;-)

This happened to me too, so I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. They said it was coincedental and the speaker needed to be replaced. They did so and the problem was solved!

iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

The music i've put into an imovie project has stopped working. How do I get it back?

The music i've put into an imovie project has stopped working. How do I get it back?

As far as I am aware, I have always used the standard keyboard and texting apps that came with the phone. There is no swype option on the keyboard any longer. The keyboard is just standard numbers and letters that have to be pressed individually. When I go to settings to try to change anything in swype, it looks as it would if swype were working - it shows all the settings for swype are correct - it just doesn't show up when the keyboard pops up for any apps or function on the phone.
I placed the phone in SafeMode and still not able to use swype.

HT2479 My Macbook Pro is not letting me import videos from my camera or usb to work on iMovie. How can I fix this?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro because I like working with imovie. The first day that I started working on imovie, I imported some videos from my camera to the computer with no problem. But after I closed imovie and started working on that same project the very next day, the videos were not saved. The editing and music of my videos were saved but the videos wouldn't show. So, I tried to import my videos again and the computer did not let me. I turned off the computer and after a week I tried to import other videos and when I press the import button, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this? I have version Ox 10.9

What happens when you try to download the new iPhoto and iMovie? Do you get any message and if so what is it? What do you mean by "theft of my iPhoto or iMovie"? Who do you think stole them?
One trick to try is to move the iPhoto and iMovie apps to the Trash in the Dock but don't empty as yet. Then go to the App Store and try to download the apps again.

Im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless i talk right next to the mic. how can i fix this

im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless I talk right next to the mic but it sounds low . how can i fix this

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have a new Macbook Pro, OS X 10.9.3 and the latest Garageband that came installed.

However, I can't see any of the new sounds in garageband??
Have you restarted your computer after installing the additional content?
How many drummers do you see, when you select a patch for a Drummer Track?
If the inapt purchase has been installed, you should now be seeing 18 drum patches and not only SoCal:
Also, if you open the "Lesson Store" view, there should be now several free basic guitar and piano lessons available for download.

How to burn an iMovie to DVD without losing quality? I have iMovie 10.0.5 and iMac 10.9.4 mountain lion. I do not have iDVD. After iMovie goes through the encoding process, quality is horrible. How can I fix this problem? I have tried the apps BURN and DVD Creator for MAC. I need to finish this DVD asap and becoming more and more frustrated. Why would Apple give us iMovie and not provide us an app to burn it to a DVD and / or take away the iDVD?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.
