My iMovie Help list
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named. com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • How do I save an IPhoto library onto a new hard drive while it's open? It is a miracle I got it open, and it has refused to be copied the usual way (by dragging its icon to destination drive).  i want to save those photos!

    How do I save an IPhoto library onto a new hard drive while library is open? It is a miracle I got it open, and it has refused to be copied the usual way (by dragging its icon to destination drive).  i want to save those photos!

    My external Lacie Hard drive that contains the IPhoto library is a "locked volume."  Wow, now it is suddenly letting me copy it. I dragged the library's icon to the new destination (a 3T hard drive) and it is working so far. 
    I have also had problems copying my IMovie events from this drive, whose data I'm trying to save.  It reaches a certain video and stops.  I will delete that video and try again.

  • I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my info back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos.I see the photos in my HD. What should I do

    I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my files back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumbnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos. I see the original photo files in my HD. Is there a way to link the Iphoto thumbnails back to the original files?

    Use the Firewire cable and t boot the old Mac's hard drive to the new Mac's desktop and transfer your entire iPhoto folder.
    Use Disk Utiliy to erase'format HFS+ Journaled your TimeMachine drive and use the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your new boot drive to the external, it's hold option bootable.

    Depends on where you got it - if it came on yoru compujter then you need to have accepeted it in the App store - and it will be in your purchases when you log in with the Apple ID that you used to set up your computer - it mahy be hidden - if you do not find it unhide applications in teh App store

  • Premier Pro Project: Created on one External Hard Drive, Transferred to Different External Hard Drive, Project Will Not Open

    Here is my problem listed in simple steps:
    I created a project in Premier a couple years ago on a G-Raid mini external hard drive.
    I backed up my project folder on a LaCie external hard drive. 
    The G-Raid mini hard drive died.
    I cannot open my project from the LaCie drive.
    When I attempt to open my project, I get 2 error messages:
    First:  "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable. To open this project, the scratch disks will be set to your documents folder. Would you like to continue?"
    I say "Yes"
    Second: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    I say "OK", and that's the end.
    My understanding is that the problem has to do with the fact that my original scratch disks were created on the G-Raid mini hard drive, and that Premier will not open my project because the code for my .prproj file directs Premier to a hard drive that is not connected.  I have tried to edit the code in TextEdit, replacing the name of the old hard drive with the new one where the code reads:
    <project.settings.lastknowngoodprojectpath>
    This did not work.  I also tried changing the name of my new hard drive to match what the "lastknowngoodprojectpath" reads as in the code, but that did not work either.  I have searched high and low on the internet for someone who approaches the types of error messages I receive from the perspective of trying to open the project from a different hard drive, but I cannot find anyone who is specifically giving advice about this.  Any suggestions?

    I doubt that the error concerning the sequence preview preset file or codec has anything to do with the scratch disc location.
    Here are two posts specific to the second error message:

  • HELP w/iBook, New Hard Drive; OSX does not detect

    couple of months ago, my ibook was acting up
    I thought it was the Hard Drive... because at first, the position of the laptop affected it (it would like freeze, and all i had to do was stand the laptop up and then i'd be fine) so i thought it was hardware......
    I checked the disk utility.....
    and SMART was reporting serious errors......
    so i felt it was the HD gone bad, after the many times of "banging" it around (nothing big tho)
    and then......
    it didnt start anymore
    it would "freeze" and get error
    so it was basically dead....
    I FINALLY got a new Hard DRive for it and i was thrilled
    I had CompUsa install it for me for $30....
    I was gonna install osx myself.....
    I picked it up
    did the "Apple Hardware Test"
    just to do it.....
    everything checked out fine....... "Mass Storage - Passed"
    I put the OS discs in and im clicking away "continue, etc"
    it comes to the point where it asks me to choose a destination
    a partition on the hard drive i presume......
    and there's nothing there
    my hard drive just isnt listed.....
    I figured the hard drive just needed to be formatted......
    aftere eventually realizing that there's a disk utility available during installation....
    I thought i had figured it all out......
    but upon opening the disc utility....
    again, the utility did not detect the hard drive....
    did CompUsa not plug the hard drive in right? is that even possible?
    OR........
    is the hard drive i bought not compatible?
    I ordered from:https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    who specialize in mac stuff.....
    I bought my laptop early 2004, and according to the site, i should be fine...
    I then figure out my laptop is a 2003 model? 800mhz, etc. but even then,
    the site says all 2003 models are supported.....
    ahh.....
    why is OSX not detecting it?
    I wanna format, partition, and have my ibook back for good.....
    and why does my "apple hardware test" say that my mass storage system is fine?
    I tried searching for solutions....
    I read someone whom had a similar problem....
    and it turned out it was an OSX problem, not hardware....
    anyways...
    I sure dont hope that's the case, since i already bought the new Hard Drive...
    im so confused....
    do i tell CompUsa they didnt install it "right"?
    someone please help
    thank you

    I'm not sure why everyone's so fixated on the hard drive's partitioning and whatnot... that wouldn't have any relation to whether or not you could boot from the Mac OS X install disk. From the sounds of it, your problem is that you have no bootable system on the hard drive and can't boot from the Mac OS X install disk, correct?
    If that's right, then the problems are very simple indeed. First, your machine may not meet the [Snow Leopard system requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html], thus can't boot from a SL install disk. If this is a 2008 MBP, that's unlikely.
    Second, you could be using a bad disk. The most likely explanation, in my experience, is that you're using the gray disks that shipped with a different machine. You did say that it was a retail disk, though, so I'm assuming that's not it. You could also have a retail disk with a system that's too old. You [can't install an older system than what your Mac shipped with|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186]. That also doesn't seem likely if this is indeed a 2008 MacBook Pro. Or, perhaps the disk itself is defective.
    The other possibility would be some kind of hardware problem, perhaps involving the optical drive.
    One way to determine what's going on is to try booting with the gray disks that shipped with your machine. If you can't boot from those disks either, you're probably looking at an optical drive problem. If you can, try running [Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509] to rule out other possible hardware problems.

  • New hard drive.  Will not boot from install dvd.

    Earlier this week, I dropped my computer.
    It was probably a 3 foot fall.
    Computer froze, so I restarted and got the flashing folder with question mark.
    Started in internet recovery, and disk utility confirmed that I had killed my hard drive.
    Got a new hard drive and installed. Started in internet recovery, formatted hard drive. Disk utility says it's good to go.
    Was given the option to install Mavericks, but keep getting an error message.
    Attempted to restart from install dvd that came with the MBP. Tried every startup shortcut there is.
    Optical drive recognizes the disk, but I always get stuck on the gray screen with the wheel.
    Reset PRAM. Reset SMC. Same problems. I do not have access to another mac or a PC with admin rights.
    I'd rather not brave the Apple Store this weekend in the snow in a town that never gets snow (people drive poorly on a good day!).
    Any tips?
    Got the MBP in 2010, new. Was running mountain lion when I dropped it.
    Thanks!

    Yiou can't use Internet recovery on a 2010 Mac notebook to install any version of OS X on it. That is why you are getting that error. You have to use the original System reinstall discs that came with it to install OS X on a new drive or use the OS X reinstall disk to restore from a time machine backup.
    Since your system doesn't seem to want to completely boot from that disc you should try an external DVD drive that connects by USB port as the built in superdrives are known to fail or partially fail at any time. Don't buy an Apple external Superdrive as they only work on Mac computer that did not originally come with a built in DVD drive. Any Brand external DVD drive will work on your Mac except Apples own external DVD drive.

  • I have installed a new hard drive but can not recover from the HP 2 recovery disks

    My computer: HP Pavilion dv9825nr
    Windows Vista Home Premiu. SP 1
    My old computer (I have a new HP  laptop) had a bad hard drive so I bought a new hard drive  - 488599-001, as recommended by HP.
    When I try to restore using the diskds I bought from HP, I get an error: 0x400110020000100A.
    Windows does not recognize the hard drive and I read somewhere tghat the Vista restore disks are problematic.
    I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Good timing for expert day :-)

    Hi:
    If you think you did something in the BIOS, just set it to its defaults, save and exit.
    Here is what you need to do to make your own vista disk...
    If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
    Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
    Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
    The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
    I selected No, make the ISO file.
    It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
    I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
    When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
    After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

  • New hard drive and itunes not getting along

    I purchases a new external hard drive for my i mac dv 400. the hard drive was getting too full. I need to put itunes on the new hard drive but during install it tells me that i tunes needs to be in the start up volume. what does this mean? is it still possible to get the bulk of itunes on the new drive. or am I stuck again

    Hopefully someone there can help me with this problem which is related to backing up using external hard drives and two MACs. I back up using my Laptop and G5 by periodically copying the most up to date Itunes library to the other one. I use the external hard drive to copy them back and forth while at the same time, having a 3rd copy. However, everytime I do this, when I go to play a "purchased" song from my purchased songs in the library, I get the message that this is the 2nd and then 3rd and the 4th....computer I am downloading to and I only have 5 allowable downloads. Evidently, Itunes is not recognizing that this is a same computer that I have been using as a back up. Hopefully this problem is clear to those of you reading this. Any suggestions?

  • Recovered data to new hard drive, imovie has lost locations- how to repoint

    Hi,
    My external hard disk recently failed that has all of my video files on. In iMovie08 i had built many projects with the project files on my laptop drive, but the source videos in the external drive.
    I have recovered all the data from a backup drive to a new replacement hard drive. However even though i have given the new drive the same drive name, imovie has lost all of the video - so all of the projects are broken, and edit "reveal in finder" fails to locate them. How do i repoint the project events to the new hard disk hence salvaging all of my project work?
    Cheers,
    Russ
    [email protected]

    Some easy things to try:
    iMovie will be looking in the iMovie Events folder in the root directory on your external drive. Is that where your Events are?
    More advanced things to try:
    You will need to have your Events in the exact same location (and path) that they were before. You can determine what iMovie thinks these should be by opening the Project File (.RCPROJECT) with a text editor such as BBEDIT that handles hexadecimal well.

  • Moved Music to New Hard Drive - Required folder not found??? pls help

    Hello
    I have recently purchased a new external hard drive as my crappy Dell was full to the brim with music.
    I have moved all my music files over to the hard drive and re installed itunes.
    Now when i drag my music folder into the itunes library it updates but the shortly after an error message occurs that says:-
    'Itunes Libray music file cannot be saved. Required folder not found'
    Previously i have saved my itunes folder within my music folder?.
    Now everytime i close down itunes all my music has gone from it!??
    Any suggestions....sorry if being really ignorant..not too profficient on computers..
    Thanks in advance.

    I think itunes by default looks inside you my music folder. In the itunes preferences screen there is an option to select a new folder to your library. Change the path to the music folder on your external drive. Make sure to always have the drive turned on before launching itunes though.
    You may also be able to replace the my music folder with a shortcut to the music folder on the external drive. This behavior may not work in windows though so I'm not sure.

  • After restoring from Time Machine to new Hard drive, system will not boot

    I replaced my hard drive on my Macbook (2008 model) with a larger drive. I then put in my Snow Leopard disk, and followed the steps to restore from Time Machine backup. a few hours later it said it was restored, but when trying to boot up, I just get a blue screen with an occasional flicker to the Leopard screen. I tried an earlier back up as well but with the same results. Any suggestions??

    Same exact problem here just yesterday, folks.
    Got a bigger hard drive on my MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo) and installed it. Followed the restore procedures from Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/333319/the-secret-of-the-time-machine+assisted-hard-drive-swa p). Then got the blue screen immediately after the chimes.
    I only managed to transfer my old disk content by using CarbonCopyCloner.
    Having said that, your solution looks uselful, Portland Mac! :

    Portland Mac wrote:
    ... On a new drive apparently you have to install Snow Leopard before you do a time machine restore.
    Am I mistaken, or did you do a fresh install after restoring your TimeMachine backup?
    In any case, I found an interesting Apple article that might confirm that there is a problem: [Mac OS X v10.6: Issues after restoring a Mac from a Time Machine backup made with a different Mac ("Restore System From Backup…")|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3243]. Or is it a completely different thing?
    And another discussion that might give some good advice: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12578529#12578529]. Personally, I will now do as the man says: two backups, on two different external hard drives, using different apps, the other one being CarbonCopyCloner...
    For info, and I don't know whether that matters, my backup disk had been full and some past content had been erased automatically by Time Machine. But I don't think this should have mattered...

  • edited by host HARD DRIVE ICON WILL NOT OPEN ON DESKTOP WHEN CLICK

    my HD will not open on desktop when i click on it. For 4 years i had no problem on this every.
    why does this happen now?
    what is wrong with the icon?
    could my HD start becoming bad?
    what are some signs that i should be "aware of" is this one?

    You might try booting from DVD or another drive and running Disk Utility and Disk Warrior.
    Or Single Users Mode (command s on startup) and follow on-screen instruction command
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    to repair your boot drive
    ... or a Safe Boot with shift key held down.
    Corrupt prefs, directory, could be a number of small or major things.
    But, in any case, make sure you have backups, and a bootable backup clone, maybe an emergency boot drive as well (install OS X on another drive if you don't have one now).

  • New hard drive - Disk Permissions not working

    Recently had my Hard Drive relplaced, and while updating ran in to multipul issues.
    The main one being with iTunes, I can't download songs I purchased from my iPhone & when I try to do it manually it tells me the my permissions need to be changed. So I ran a permissions verification on DiskUtility and it's telling me a whole bunch of stuff doesn't match up.
    Should I run a repair?
    Any other ideas?
    Also, my last hard drive had no issue installing Mountain Lion, and this one refuses.
    Any one else have this issue? 

    MK6475GSX
    Yes, that has AFT. See MKxx75GSX.
    I uploaded all the drivers..
    But the point is that when you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, all the drivers are already properly installed. Everything should work as it originally did.
    I would perform the restore again and immediately install this driver.

  • How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?

    How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?
    I installed a new hard drive from best buy for my "vintage" MacBook laptop.  When I turned on the laptop and the flashing folder appeared, I need help?
    I looked online for some clues.  I put in the software disk I received when I bought the disk but I cannot select a destination volume to install the software.  I tired to partition the drive within disk utility but there was an input/output error.  Should I just plug in my external hard drive and hope everything reboots like magic ?
    Thank you for any help you can give

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.
