New imac--Cannot find imovie

I bought a new imac over a month ago and i cannot find imovie. I have iDVD, itunes, iphoto but not imovie. did a search on finder and all and i cannot find it. Where could it be?

That's strange. I thought all new iMacs had iMovie pre-installed and in the Applications folder as part of the iLife package. Mine did.
Maybe for some reason it wasn't installed for you and you have to do from the installation disk. Failing that get back to where you bought it from and complain I guess.
Hope you find it.

  • I have a  new iMac   cannot find how to access my files in Dreamweaver

    I cannot find how to access my files,  as I am now using Yosemite and it is all a different layout .
    can anyone get me started please
    Clicking on the cloud icon is no help

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder to /Music/ on the new computer.
    That is all you need to do.

    Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?

  • Imac cannot find external drive

    My Imac cannot find the external drive I have attached.  I have used it many times before, but now it does not recognize that it is attached.  I have replaced the usb cable with not luck and changed ports.  Still no success.  I am backing up to the cloud, and would like to also back up to this hard drive.  Is this a setting issue with my Mac or do I have a bad hard drive?

    In Preferences set the loaction of the library that should do the trick.
    I have about 1TB of content on an external drive and it works sweetly ( drive needs to be turned on before launching iTunes ).

  • Bluetooth problems: iMac cannot find iPhone

    I am trying to set up a bluetooth internet connection between iPhone (iOS 8.1.2.) and iMac (OS X Yosemite). However, the iMac cannot find the iPhone.
    So visited this website:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18559
    The website suggests that I shd enter the information you received from your wireless service provider. This information usually includes an access phone number and an account name and password.
    Firstly, what is a wireless service provider, my mobile operator?
    Secondly, what is an access phone number, an account name and password? Access phone number, is it my mobile number? What is an account name and password, I do not have those?

    Hello 5480,
    It sounds like you’ve found a general Bluetooth Internet connection article which your using as a guide to use to share the cellular data connection from your iPhone to your iMac, but it’s requesting information that you don’t have. I suggest taking a look at the article linked below instead, it’ll show you how to quickly and easily setup a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone, which will allow you to share your cellular data connection with your iMac.

    So long,

  • My new iMac cannot detect my canon scanner

    I just got a new iMac with the latest Mountain Lion update however, when I tried to install my CanoScan 8800f it cannot be dected in the USB. But when I tried to connect it to my old computer and used scanner sharing, it works well. I tried isolating the problem by using another macbook that I just recently formatted and installed OSX 10.7 it cannot be detected as well... Is it a compatibility issue, I've downloaded the most recent drivers from canon's website? I quite need some help right now as scanning photos and documents are very important. Thanks!

    In image capture is the same. Through USB it can't be detected, on the network scanner sharing from a computer (in this case the macpro) that has the scanner installed, it works like a charm. I use the scanner utility (Print & Scan > open scanner) to scan my images and documents rather than the scanner software it comes with. I don't find anything wrong using it as I've used other scanners on my laptop Brother, HP, and Apple's scanner utility doesn't fail.\
    Basically this is what I'm looking at right now the scanner is connected in the USB port and its not recognizing it. I also tried other ports, same result.

  • I have recently changed ISP and now my iPad and iMac cannot find my Deskjet 3050A 611.

    My HP Deskjet 3050A 611 was working perfectly with my iPad2 and iMac up to a few weeks ago. I have changed my ISP to BT and it seems that since then the computers cannot find any AirPrint printers. I did try resetting the network defaults but apparently to no avail. Can anybody help?. The blue wireless light is flashing on the front of the computer and it has new ink cartrdges and paper.

    You will have to re-install the printer using the HP software on the Mac.  Look in Applications > Hewlett-Pacakard > [your printer model] for the Printer Setup & Software app and run it.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
    I am employed by HP

  • How come my new iMac has got iMovie, iPhoto, garageband, but no idvd software?

    hi folks,
    new Imac user here. Loving it so far but after spending hours creating a movie on imovies, i come to burn to a dvd and what....no idvd software. Is this right ? My imac is the OS X Lion job.
    If this is correct, fine, but does it mean I now have to fork out for ilife 11 which i keep hearing bad things about ?
    Or is there another route for me to get my movies on dvd.
    I am not totally savvy with system jargon so go easy ha ha !
    cheers folks
    Craig

    I just did a search in the App Store for iDVD the only thing that comes up is a tutorial however if the OP goes to
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC623Z/A/iLife-11?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    and purchases iLife 11 it comes with:
    iPhoto
    iMovie
    Garageband
    iDVD
    iWeb
    Interesting enough that seems to be the only way I can find to get iDVD.

  • Brand new iMac cannot pair bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse

    Hi there!
    Just received brand new iMac 21" yesterday. Unboxed it, turned it on and none of both bluetooth devices (keyboard and magic mouse) managed to get paired.
    I was able to connect a USB mouse to log into the Mac. Did all turn off/on Bluetooth, turn off/on iMac several times with no luck. Weird thing is that when I lift keyboard on a 30 degree angle above my desk it seems to actually pair with the iMac but then when back to original position it disconnects.
    I've tried the magic mouse with my 2008 Macbook and works flawlessly. After several attempts never managed to pair magic mouse with iMac and as said earlier keyboard is not working on a standard position on my desk. It is frustrating to have paid close to 2,000$ for something that does not even work out of the box... Any ideas or suggestions?
    I'm planning to take it today to nearest Apple Stores but have a bad feeling about "genius" folks being able to help me out. Would be worth changing iMac for new one?
    Thanks a lot in advanced!

    Thanks Barry! If SCM reset means the following:
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    I've done that several times yesterday with no success. "SMC Reset" sounds quite fancy but then you google it and find that is a "simple" shut down and restart protocol... I tried "shutting down" by both selecting option via OS and also physically on the button behind screen.
    I appreciate the help but unless I've done that "simple" protocol wrong it is not working.
    Sorry for the frustration from my side. It just seems too much of a vague story when you hear Apple friends talking things about "the best OS", "best desktop",...and then you pay about $2,000 and find this yourself.
    If anyone else interested I commit to keep this up to date with the feedback I'll get from "genius" folks today. Hopefully they'll prove themselves to live up to their position naming.

  • Cannot find iMovie Project for iOS after sending to iTunes 12.0.1

    I made a video on the iMovie iOS app but wanted to finish editing the project on my mac.  Went online and googled how to get the file from the iPhone to my mac.  This is the link I found: iMovie '11: Import an iMovie project from an iOS device. 
    My problem lies in step # 5: Tap Apps at the top of the iTunes window, and then tap iMovie in the Apps pane on the left, below File Sharing.The shared project appears on the right in the iMovie Documents pane. I went into the most updated iTunes I have which is showing as 12.0.1. 
    I cannot locate File Sharing anywhere.  I also cannot find any recent posts or support threads that address this.  I couldn't find any images in a google search that even showed iTunes in the layout I have.  I'm hoping this is a simple issue to fix.
    Thanks in advance.

  • IMac cannot find system folder.

    I purchased my iMac in March. By June I had it back at the Apple Store for repair.
    They replaced the mother board. Now it is doing the same thing again. At start-up it cannot find the system folder most times. If it does start up and I let it go to sleep, when I wake up the iMac, it locks up and upon restart it cannot find the system folder.
    I have tried reformating the hard drive and reinstalling the software. It only helps for a while.

    I don't know if there's a question in there or not but if it's 'doing the same thing' then take it back. It's still under warranty. We can't fix hardware.

  • Brand new iMac: The Finder disappears; "clicking" on Finder won't open it

    Something weird happened to my wife's new iMac today after being asleep since yesterday: my wife wakes it up, launches safari, participates in a family dialog at Facebook, then quits safari and proceeds to turn off the computer. But the Finder menu at the top of the screen is not there, so she calls me to show me what's happening.
    I try to find the Finder menu, but it's nowhere to be found (the entire menu at the top of the screen is missing), so I click on the Finder's icon at the left-bottom corner of the Dock, and the following appears on a window on the screen: "The application Finder can't be opened -10810."
    I then press the three keys to force quit whatever application may be causing this problem, and the "Force Quit" screen is completely blank; not even the Finder is shown on this window. The only option I had to turn the imac off, was to hold the power button for a period of eight seconds. After it was off I restarted the iMac with the power button, and the iMac is now working like the problem never happened (the Finder menu is there).
    By the way, while the Finder menu was not there, we could still use Safari, Mail, and every application in the computer. This iMac was purchased a couple of weeks ago from Apple, and the OS as well as every application installed on the hard drive has been updated. An Apple technician is scheduled to call me in the morning (Sunday).
    Has any of you experienced such thing?

    Boot the Mac from the OS installer disk that came with it. Insert the DVD and reboot holding down the 'c' key until you see the spinning cog. Select your language and then from the menu Utilities select Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh HD from the left side column and then select Repair Disk. Post back.

  • New iMac cannot hold a FW 800 connection

    Hello all, I have this brand new iMac for my music studio. This machine cannot hold a FW connection for more than a few minutes without losing it. Because there is only one FW 800 port (boo!! I cannot grasp this move by Apple to kill off it's association with pro audio apps and studios that have so much invested in FW 400..anyway...), grr..because of the one 800 port, my signal chain is first to the Apogee Ensemble via a 800 to 400 converter cable, and then to two outboard PPA Oxford 911+ chipset 500GB drives. When the FW connection fails, the only option is to shutdown the whole shebang, drag the hard disk icons to the trash which BTW, is not reliable on this machine for some reason, shut down the Ensemble and restart it, remount the drives, etc.
    C'mon! Apple! Are you listening? Why can't you make a computer that can be used in a recording environment without one stupid FW buss problem after another? It was like this with the Lucent chips, now it's another problem! Do you have no interest in pro audio anymore?
    I have been browsing this board. My other posts are on the Logic Express board, which is full of posts by me and others wondering about the FW problems. This is a new machine, same FW buss problems, may or may not be chip related. Very frustrating. Cannot refresh connections without restarting. If anybody's got any insight on this, I'm all ears.

    These are the formal procedures for PRAM reset and SMC reset, so be sure to do them precisely.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    You seem to have a lot or peripheral devices. When you reconnect from doing the SMC reset, if you are using a power strip that is old or crowded with other devices, for this test, you should plug in the iMac directly to a wall power outlet. If your FireWire devices are on one power strip, you should also spread them out to more than one wall outlet.
    Connect one FireWire device at a time. See if this problem exists if only one device is connect; use one at a time to check if the FireWire connection remains stable.
    If each device checks out by itself, connect that "Apogee Ensemble" first, and daisy-chain one of the two FireWire drives to see if it remains stable. If so, remove that device and try the other FireWire drive.
    Finally, if all is well with two devices connected, try them all connected at the same time.
    Note: If one or both of those FireWire drives is being used for a function that does not require the faster FireWire speed, and the drive also has a USB 2.0 interface, you should connect it via USB 2.0. For example, a Time Machine backup drive does not require ultra fast data access. USB 2.0 is more than fast enough. So take some load off the FireWire port and use USB 2.0 when possible.
