My iMovie projects in the iMovie theater will not play

Back story:
Well I have just updated imovie. I then had a lot of promblems with this "updated project" folder. So, to be safe I shared all my projects to itunes and the theater(. Then I delted that folder.   All my projects were delted so, I was gald I shared them. My computer has been running faster now. But now I can only find 4 out of my 49 projects in itunes and the imovie theater. I can see them in the theater but they wuill not play. The drop down shows that I can do only two things with most of my projects, delte them or rename them. I notcied before I delted the folder that I could play 4 of them. I did not think that delting that folder would effect the sharing so I delted it.  The number of  playble pojects have not chaged in over a day.
Question:
I belive I have lost the  projects because I delted "updated projects" before they were shrared compltly and they will never play.  But can somene answer these questions?
-Can I get these projects to play in imovie theater?
-Can I retrive these files in another way?(ex. find them in another folder)
-Will they necver play so i should just delte the files.
I am sorry about my spelling.

I tried moving it to anohter file and it did not work.  I control clicked on them and there was something that said purge cache for selection and I clicked that and now they all play.  Thanks for your help though!

  • My iMovie projects suddenly have errors and will not play.

    All of my iMovie projects will no longer play in iMovie.  They are store in the correct folder, as are all of the original iMovie events in the library.  When I create a new project, it will work for a few hours, then suddenly error in the same way as the other projects.  I am very confused and really have no thoughts as to what could be wrong other than some error in the program.  Please let me know what this could be. 
    Thank you,

  • TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

    When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

    I purchased a song from iTunes however it will not play.  I get a message telling me I need to authorize my PC, when I go through the steps as directed I get a message saying this PC is already authorized however the song still will not play.  Any help?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Converted songs from Windows Media Player to itunes show up in the library but will not play

    I just installed itunes for the purpose of converting my Windows Media Player library to itunes.  I went through the install and added the music folder.  itunes went through the conversion process overnight and all of my songs appear in the music library.  However some songs will play properly and if you open them in windows explorer they are in a folder called my music/downloads and are mpeg files.  Other songs that are listed in the music library and appear to have been converted will not play.  When you click on these songs that won't play it appears to be playing in the progress bar on top, but no sound comes out and the EQ visualizer shows nothing.  When you open these songs in Windows explorer they are located in a folder: my music\i tunes\itunes media\music and they are a .AAC audio file type. What went wromg in this conversion process? Why is itunes putting these files in two different locations?  Why will these files not fully convert and play?

    This is also what I suspected but why would the songs go through conversion, show up in the library, and then not play?  Apple support even says "itunes for Windows cannot import or play WMA files that are protectd."  Yet the imported song is sitting in the library and when you play it the song is listed and the diamond advances - but no sound.
    Also, any tips on how to see if a WMA file is protected by DRM?
    Thank you for your response.

  • DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

    HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there.  It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies.  I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive.  Computer is out of warranty.

    Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
    It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
    I'd recommend starting with this document:
        Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
    Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?  
    Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
    Let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • I am trying to figure out why my songs are cutting out anywhere in the song and will not play and skip to next.

    Hi my name is jeff. I bought a ipod touch 6 months ago it was working untill now. I am wondering why it can stop at any time during any song and go silent for the rest of the song. Ive been having this problem for 2 days now. Wondering if anyone has the same type of problem. ive done everything its told to try and fix all the updates for itunes and my ipod but it still will not work.

    Just saying " done everything its told to try and fix" provides us with zerio information as to what you tried.
    - Do the songe play OK in iTunes on the computer?
    - Have you unsynced and resynced the music
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod

  • My phone thinks it is connected to a dock all the time and will not play any sound or ring what do i need to do?

    my phone thinks that it is connected to a dock all the time and wont play ringtones or any other sound. I know that the speakers work because it will randomly play sound but for a very short amount of time and just recently stopped making sounds all together. the phone is almost brand new and has no damage I just bought it a few months ago. What can I do to fix the problem?

    Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If not, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. See if better. If not, try Restore. If still a problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • ITunes sees the music but will not play anything

    First I would like to thank anyone who addresses this issue in advance! I have been trying to figure out the problem for some time and obviously have been unsuccessful. I also apologize if it is an easy fix and I was too dimwitted to figure it out on my own.
    I can open iTunes and see all of my music. I can see my playlists, purchased music and all of the music in my library. However, when I try and double-click or select play from the drop-down menu nothing happens. I even tried to purchase a new song and listen to it, but still nothing. I checked the deauthorize feature, but it is not set.
    Any advise, tips or replies are appreciated!
    Thanks

    you're not dimwitted. I wonder sometimes! lol
    just checking on something first. when you try to
    play a song in itunes, does that little
    diamond-shaped thingy stay firmly stuck to the left? Yes
    if so, next let's explicitly doublecheck your precise
    itunes version number. in itunes, go "help > about
    itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up
    from the bottom of the screen. (for example, mine
    says "itunes 6.0.5.20") 6.0.5.2
    if you've got an itunes version 5.0.0.35, 5.0.1.4,
    6.0.0.18 or 6.0.1.3
    ... first let's check on this possibility:
    iTunes for Windows: Audio files do not play in
    iTunes 5 or 6
    if you've got an itunes version 6.0.2.23 or
    higher, or the compatibility settings thing wasn't a
    factor for you
    ... then first we'll try a careful standalone QT 7.1
    reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone
    installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install
    from there rather than online.) switch off
    antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the
    install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes
    play audio properly again? Yes, this did the trick!
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone
    reinstall, let us know what it says. include error
    message numbers if you're getting any.)
    b noir I thank you so very much for being willing to share your knowledge and lending a helping hand! I am indebted to you!

  • 238 songs purchased from the iTunes store will not play.

    I downloaded 238 songs based on "Best of" lists without previewing any of them beforehand. As it turned out, when I attempted to play a song, it would not start going. I tried double-clicking the song, pressing the playing button, and selecting play from the controls list. I have the computer authorized. It is 1 out of 5. I don't know if it could be the case, but I have 3 computers authorized from an old account with a different e-mail address and an old credit card number I no longer use. Since I got a new computer, I simply created a new account. It also could be that I don't have a working sound card, but that would just mean that I couldn't "hear" the song, not that it wouldn't start to play. I bought a shuffle expecting to put these 238 songs onto it. What is going on?

    Hello there,
    I have had a similar proble and the details are as follows:
    Towards the end of the process of setting up the account there was a window that flashed momentarily saying somthing like "an authorixation file could not be installed". However, the next window stated that the account set up installation was successful.
    Now that I have purchased a few songs I cannot listen in itunes nor download them on the iPod because (after I enter my password) a window with this message appears saying:
    Beg Quote:
    " itunes
    There was an error sharing your authorization information on this computer.
    The required file was not found or has a permission error. Correct this permission problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permission cannot be changed."
    End Quote
    I have tried to "Deauthorize the computer for the Music Store Account" but the same window as above comes up and I am back where I started.
    I would appreciate Customer Support on this and I look forward to a reply from the itunes Music Store so that I can utilize the services I signed up for.
    Thank you and best regards,
    Judy

  • I have just updated my iPhone 4 with new ios5. I'm having trouble with ringtones. All of my ringtones exsist and will play manually on the phone but will not play when i recieve a phone call. Please help.

    Hello Courtney,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone.  It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

  • IMovie, some photos on timeline will not play in preview window

    There are a bunch of photos on the timeline that will not play in preview window.
    I've tried all the tricks that were suggested in other posts. (moving photo to the desktop and then reimporting, etc)
    several hours have been lost on this problem.
    IOS 10.7.5
    iMovie '11    rev. 9.0.9

    I think it's a bug. It happens to me as well. You have to switch between windows, refreshing it.
