My movies are gone!

I've created several movies over the last few months, and I was just in the middle of making one yesterday. I didn't finish it, so closed iMovie, and closed my laptop. Now it's the next morning, and all of my projects are gone! The events are still there, but all the work I did for those projects is missing. There's only a "My first project" project, and it's blank.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Welcome to dicussions!
I can only guess at this, but I have found that all versions of imovie are sensitive to permissions. You might want to try this (and it will not hurt anything-don't worry)
*Quit iMovie.*
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. _Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder._
The files are located here:
Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist

  • I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help.  Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Updated to iOS5 now my purchased movies are gone- how to find them?

    I synced my phone this morning, updated the software this afternoon, and now a movie I purchased a month ago is not on my phone or my iTunes. Where did it go and how can I get it back?

    Hi Roger!
    You are right.  It was not exaclty the moving to iCloud that caused the e-mail to disappear. What happened after the change to iCloud was that I did see my old email but when I tried to open it just does not show any content.
    Then I looked at some options and did Choose Mailbox > Rebuild.
    That is when all my old mail disapeared.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you so much for your help!!

  • 25% of my movies are gone!  over $1,000.00 MIA.

    On my appleTV (16G, black one) there were 421 movies in the purchased section.  I went back the next night and there were now just 340!  In one night all of a sudden they look like they are not listed.  I checked the list of movies but with over 400 I cannot remember which ones might not be listed, it looks like they are all there, but the # is down by almost 100 movies.  We buy a lot of movies, my imacs, external drives and all cannot store everything so I thought apple kept the purchase list in their server so when I wanted to watch a movies that is not downloaded it would just let me stream it or download it to the small Apple TV.  All my billing is up to date, my other apple TV says the same thing, same #.  Any advice?  Thanks...

    In iTunes go to the iTunes Store home page (house icon) or Movies section.
    On the far right you should have Quicklinks, one of which will be Purchased:
    Use that to see purchases and to download them.
    Set download resolution in iTunes Preferences for 720p/1080p.  There is a check box to get ths SD version too if required in the Purchased section.
    If your computer is running with iTunes active you will then be able to stream to AppleTV using the Computers icon on AppleTV.

  • After upgrading to IOS 5.0.1 my music and movies are gone - I have only one song.  Sync does not put my media back

    I upgraded my Iphone4 to IOS 5.0.1 when plugged into my fully-patched OS X Lion-version Mac.  I  no longer have any movies and only one song on my phone.  Itunes says I have all of my movies and music, but my phone does not show it.  I do have my books (but not audiobooks)

    I made a work around.  Set my phone to not sync music and movies in itunes.  Sync phone.  Set my phone to sync music and movies in itunes.  Sync phone.
    It is very time consuming though.
    And, what else is set incorrectly somewhere and I do not know it?  There was also a very weird glitch - where "Albums" is listed in when running the music app in IOS5 (5.0.1), it instead had had the name of the one song!  That is now also fixed.

  • I have an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 connecting to my iTunes. iTunes says my device has an error, but it does not specify the error and I can't do nothing. I was transferring more music and editing my playlists. My songs and movies are gone.

    What can I do to solve an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 32 gb on connecting to iTunes on my computer? iTunes says there is an error with my iPod touch, which this was a result of deleting my songs and videos. I was only transferring more songs, videos and editing my playlists. I don't have that much of the songs left. What is the best solution?

    And what is the wording of the error message?

  • Downloaded ios7 to ipad2 and now all titles of my movies in Videos are gone, only the movie icon remains? How to get titles back?

    Downloaded ios7 to ipad2 and lost all titles of my movies in Videos. The movies are still there and play fine, but all the names of the movies are gone. Only the movie icons remain. How can I get the names of the movies back on the screen?

    My "movies" are actually music videos. For most it shows a screen grab and I can identify a majority of the videos by that. But for some, the screen grab is just black. I have no way of knowing which video that is. Titles are definitely needed.

  • My iPad had to get recovered thru itunes now music and movies are lost help!!!!!

    You can either resync the lost material to your iPad via iTunes or you can restore the device from backup, assuming you have been backing up the device.

  • I went into ITunes and All of my movies on my iPhone, ipad and computer all have to be redownloaded. All of my playlists are gone! It cleared out my phone, computer and iPad. Its not even working on Apple TV. Why am I having to redownload everything?

    After the recent update, I went into update IPAD and all of my movies were gone. Which this is set up for my daughter was a bummer. All of her kid moveies were gone. When I plugged it in for an update that is all I did. I didnt change anything.
    When I plugged my phone in to update it all of my playlists were gone and so were the few movies I had on there.
    Today I turned on the Apple TV so my daughter could watch a movie and it is still downloading and I have 15 hours before I can watch it. What is going on?
    The main itunes account no longer has any of my playlists and I am concerned I lost some music. All of my self downloads seem to be gone, playlists gone.
    Updates are suppose to be helpful, what happened with this one?

    Hello SHEFE
    If iTunes did not have anything in it after the update, there is a way to go back to what it was before. The steps are located in the article below.
    No content shows up in iTunes after updating

  • I've downloaded movies to my itunes but once they are finished they completely disappear. Also today I opened my itunes and over half of my music and movies that actually show up are gone. Can anyone give me some advice on this problem?

    I have downloaded movies through itunes until the latest version came out. Now the movies will download and then disappear. Everything is up to date so I'm not sure what is wrong. Also I opened my itunes today and over half of my music is missing along with several of the movies that do play. Luckily I have all my music saved, but the movies are completely gone. Does anyone have some ideas that could help me?

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

  • Where did my photos go? I started to move a 25GB directory of all my photos to the creative cloud and now they are gone!

    where did my photos go? I started to move a 25GB directory of all my photos to the creative cloud and now they are gone! The directory on my hard drive i gone and they are not in the cloud?

    The iCloud Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for thirty days.  If you have more that 1000 photos or photos nearing the 30-day mark, you should export them to another device.

  • $50 worth of my movies/music videos are gone

    I bought roughly $50 worth of music videos/movies on iTunes, and this happened: They were all downloading, but there was more then one of each of them, for example, it said "GI Joe" multiple times (It wasn't the special features part either) same exact thing, over and over. They downloaded (kind of) But when I clicked on the movie part, there was about 10 of the same "GI Joe" movies there, none of them would play. In the end, my computer crashed, and when I opened up iTunes again, $50 worth of movies/music videos are gone. I'm extremely upset and don't know what to do. The downloaded and processing was completed.

    First, relax. Sometimes everything doesn't go perfectly.
    If you bought the HD version, the SD version downloads as well so that you can watch on an ipod, if you so choose.
    You can go to Store>Check for Available downloads
    If this doesn't work then go to purchase History, click "Report a Problem" and report the problem. Apple will resolve within a day. You could also e-mail itunes support:
