No iTunes found in iMovie 09

This question considers iMovie 09 on a new MacBookPro.
In iMovie on the sound window wether iTunes-Music, nor GarageBand is visible, only Applesounds visible. I can't access to my music to add it it to a video.
I reinstalled the Package with no effect on this item.
iTunes and iPhoto are configured properly.
On my other Mac's it runs fine.
Any suggestions, any help?
Thanks guys for any hint

Can't import itunes songs from imovie

When I try to play a song from my itunes list on imovie it doesn't play. Then if I drag it into the movie I get the following error message:
"The file could not be imported: The file could not be found."
If I open itunes I can drag the same song in and it will work. It's just a hassle to do so. Any help?

Hi, Trevor,
Sorry that didn't work.
Are the songs you cannot import purchased songs from iTunes Music Store? If so, you will need to burn them to a CD and reimport them into iTunes and then they will work.
Or, if you are having problems with only one or two songs, you can use WireTap to record these and then import the resultant AIFC file into iMovie. You can find WireTap here
If you are having problems with all songs regardless of whether they were purchased or imported from your own cds, then the problem is with your iTunes. Try deleting the iTunes plist (Same pathway, just a different com.apple.iTunesplist).
Post back if neither of these helps.

Resetting the iTunes Library in iMovie HD Jan. 2006

Does anyone know how to reset the iTunes Library in iMovie?
I have manually deleted tracks in iTunes .. which are not visible in any playlist or the library, but they are visible in iMovie's audio tab wher the iTunes Library exists.
I tried deleting some of the ".plist" .. but I didn't want to erase any iTunes plist in fear of losing my playlists.
I looked at "Doug's iTunes AppleScripts" and found nothing that would help..
Any thought?

I'd say that quitting iMovie and relaunching it ought to do it. If not, quit and restart iTunes as well. That should force it to update all of its stuff.

ITunes music on iMovie no longer works (iTunes 7)

I just upgraded to itunes 7 and now the music i had on an imovie does not work - saying the computer is not authorized (but it is!!!).
The same song on itunes is fine - imovie does not play that song!
Help.

Same problem. I created my iMovie project on my iMac (G5), stored it on my LaCie drive which I then plugged in to my Mini so I could burn it to a DVD. Now I'm told I'm not authorized to use the two songs in the project - but only on my Mini. I just updated all the Mac software on the Mini tonight, and it still does not work.
I have OS 10.4.7 on every mac I own, and all the software levels are the same on every computer. However, the Mini is an Intel, and my other stuff is G5. Does that make a difference?
The project is Christmas greetings from home for the troops in Iraq, and it's my daughter's 4H project. We have to mail the DVDs by December 1 in order to get them to Iraq by Christmas, so I urgently need some answers.
Thanks!

When I upload audio from itunes into my imovie project, it does not show all of the track?

Hi, I have opened a new project in imovie - I have uploaded 200 photos into the project to make a Comic Book movie!
this project is 7 mins and 8 seconds long - the exact length of the audio track that I want to play during the movie!
I have selected the music by clicking the musical note button in imovie, which open up my itunes library and displays the track I want to use that is 7 mins and 8 seconds long.
When I click and drag my MP3 audio from itunes into my imovie project, i only plays the first 5 mins & 33 seconds; leaving my project in silence for the final 1 min & 3 seconds????
I have not added markers, there are no fade ins or fade outs - only the first 5 min & 33 seconds or a 7 min & 8 seconds MP3 Audio track???
I have spent 10 hours trying to rectify this problem.......
can anyone help me with this problem
Peace, Love & Happiness

Sounds like your talking about iMovie for Mac?
This is the iOS version, repost here:
iMovie

My imovie keeps saying "open itunes to populate this list" but itunes is opened. How do I get my itunes back on imovie?

I have restarted my computer a bunch of times. I've opened itunes first then imovie but it just says it's loading itunes...but it continuously does that and doesn't load any songs from itunes. It's the first time this has happened and it's ******* me off.

After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

When I try to add music from my itunes onto my imovie project, it says "Open iTunes to populate this list." I opened it and nothing happened. Please help.

It may help to trash the iApps Preferences File.

Hi troy157,
I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
4. Restart the application
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
5. Restart your device
Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the application and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Getting Error Message when importing iTunes Music to iMovie 6?

Am I missing something? I used to be able to import my iTunes music to a movie creation in iMovie 6. I'm now getting an error message "Error during import. The file could not be imported: The file could not be found."
I have moved my music to an external drive - don't know if that made a difference.
Thanks

Interesting...I have moved my iTunes music onto the external drive probably six months ago. That music still works off the external via iTunes. I just looked in iTunes and my preferences are showing my local drive to store music. And recent music that I have purchased (last few months) is showing in the local drive. When I picked one of the songs from the local it works.
So now I guess the question is what will happen if I move the music from the local to the external and reset the preferences in iTunes. It should work right?

File sharing not showing up in my itunes with my imovie app or garage band. What is missing?

I am trying to import a movie from imovie app to my itunes. When i click on my device in itunes then click on apps the file sharing option does not show up. What am I missing?

I just found the answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20447090#20447090
You don't need to use the sidebar to pull up the info, actually. Just scroll on the edge of the window and the file sharing stuff will show up.

I cannot locate my itunes files in imovie

Hi, I am trying to add some music to a home video i shot and when I select the desired song from my itunes, I receive the following error message.
The song "xxxx xxxx" could not be used because the original file could not be located.
I can easily access the songs in my itunes, but cannot in imovie.
Can anyone provide a solution for this?
Thank you!

This forum is for iOS (iPads and iPhones).
I will try to get this moved to the correct forum.
You might need to be more clear about versions.
What exact cersion or iMovie, OS X, and iTunes.
(these are usually like 10.62 e.t.c; and found in the about box of an app).

Video storage for all videos: In iPhoto? In iTunes? In iMovie? Or...?

I want a simple solution to gain acces to all my videos on Apple TV
I want to have all my videos in ONE PLACE!!! Right now they are scattered all over my system. I don´t want to search iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes and different folders every time I want to play my different video files and movies on... let´s say Apple TV. Why can´t we have ONE deticated unified "storage and play back" solution for all our video files on Mac OSX? Or at least a front-end that showcases ALL your videos and that is enabled to fetch ANY of those videos for directly playback right there.
I do understand the need for different input solutions/apps for videos such as iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, Aperture. BUT after processing (or what ever you do with your videos) in those Apps, it would be great to be able to transfer... or keep a grand overwiev of all your videos and movies... in ONE place!
Right now I have video file duplicates all over the place because I want to acces videos easily on my Apple TV and from what ever of the following apps I have open... iTunes - iPhoto - iMovie- (Vimeo) - (Youtube).
I can acces all of my music in ONE place in iTunes. I want a simular "ONE place solution" for my... holiday videos... my downloaded videos... my production videos (iMove etc.) etc. etc.
My question for now is: As we don´t have a proper solution for this yet, then what is at the present, the best and most simple solution to gain acces to my many different videos via Apple TV? I would like to avoid a media server and keep the files on my Mac.

If you want to play them on AppleTV, they need to be in iTunes - simplest way to do this from iMovie is using Share to menu and adding to iTunes.

How do you get movies in iTunes from the iMovie app?

When I want to export a movie from iMovie, I "Send project to - iTunes". .........the screen says "Send to iTunes complete, your project will appear in the File Sharing section of iTunes as: My Project"
The problem is, is that I can't find where the video is now located on iTunes. I can't find any "File Sharing Section" anywhere.
How do I do this?

You don't.
Per terms of the store all sales are final.
What troubleshooting steps have you performed?
