Over Time iMovie Files Corrupt -Which is an issue when I'm trying to backup
Hi,
Please correct me if I'm posting this in the wrong section, but I've used iMovie for several years now and I'm finding that a lot of the movies I once finished and left alone for long periods of time won't copy to my backup hardrive (they will show up, but take up 0kb of space) and when I open them from the original files they are missing clips.
Maybe this is an effect of creating projects in old iMovies and updating them to iMovie HD 6 (I don't use 8 or 9). Most of these movies I once backed up onto DVDs when they were still fine.
Any suggestions on how to best backup the files either from the DVDs or the files (which might be corrupt?) while retaining all the data and decent quality?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

... I'm exporting all the videos as mp4s right now.
that 'error' can not be related to iM nor 'degragation of files in time'.. iM handles digital (1/0) files.. if a file gets corrupted somehow, it is +in toto+ distroyed, not as an old VHS (analogue) which shows scarmble, noise, etc.
converting to highly compressed mp4 will add additional damage.. any compressor 'summarize' small faults&dots&noise (from tape! not from 'time') to bigger artifacts.. in terms of quality, keept iM's original, 'native' dv files (your projecst were dv? ).
I'm still puzzled about your 'rusty' projects.. ( ?? ) ..
last Qs: are your projects any imports from TV recordings.. ?

How do I recover iMovie files corrupted by running out of disk space?
I've been using iMovie HD 6.0.3 to create recordings using a webcam from time to time. Usually I just leave the camera on during presentations. On two different occasions I ran out of hard disk space, and have been unable to playback the videos I've recorded. One is very important and I'd like to save it if at all possible. The video data is definitely on the hard drive (I have a 9 gig file), however, attempts to play it using Quicktime Pro or iMovie fail. iMovie acts as if the movie contains no data even though over 2 hours were recorded. (Quicktime Pro responds with a Mac OS Error -1409)
Apparently if iMovie runs out of disk space during a recording, it is unable to save or later recover the file properly. While it seems to store the video data, perhaps the file is missing some sort of critical markers or pointers.
Does anyone know of a way to recover the video from this file? Perhaps there is a tool to somehow pull the video stream out of the corrupted file that was saved by iMovie?
Please let me know if you have any ideas! It is very important that I recover these files. Thanks!Hi QuakingBog - What happened when you discovered this situation?
1. There was an error displayed on the screen saying it was almost out of disk space.
Did iMovie remain open, with the file showing in the Clips Pane or Timeline?
2. The clip I was recording went from showing the image which was on the camera and elapsed time (which had been over 2 hours just before then) to showing just black and showing a total record time of 0:00 as soon as it ran out of disk space. Even though lots of data was recorded, it went back to looking as if nothing was recorded.
I would be surprised if iMovie 'saved' it of its own accord (it has no auto-save feature). Did you hit Save? If there is a 9 GB file, then obviously somehow something was saved.
3. Yes, I hit save. I also hit "Save As" after this and saved it to an external hard disk with more free space as well. I can't get anything to play from either place.
Have you checked within the project 'package' to see if there are any files actually saved? To check, Control-Click on the project (with the star on it), and select Show Package Contents. Anything in the Media folder? Look for a .mov file in one of the folders - does it play?
4. Yes, there are files in there. There is a Clip 01.mov that is 9.29 gb, but it won't open or play.
In cache there are...
Timeline Movie.mov 8KB
Thumbnails.plist 4K
Timeline Movie Data.plist 4K
In media there is also...

I purchased my 27" iMac in October 2010 after attending classes we discovered my computer needed new graphics card, hard drive, and a total rebuild after owning it only 6 months. Apple rebuilt my new computer, several months later same issues began yet again, slowly Apple began replacing defective parts they installed, my computer still hasn't worked as it should and has been in and out of Apple all the time sometimes they keep it for weeks! running tests?? February 10, 2013 I took my imac back in because it has been taking upwards of 6 minutes to make 1 single edit in imovie after 6 days of editing my project I could No Longer save in itunes, external HD, or export my imovie videos (they are 4 min up to 20 min max) Apple informed me that my Hard Drive was corrupt a bad batch of Seagate HD had been installed and my computer was again affected by this and it needed to be replaced and they couldn't get it to respond at all my itunes library was missing, etc. We saved my videos on my external HD I brought in with me. The Genius bar said they would call me in 3-5 days for me to pick up my computer. 9 Days later not hearing back from them I went in to get an update February 19, 2013 No one can tell me what was done except my HD was replaced they can't answer my questions about my itunes library being reinstated or my videos, music is missing, podcasts, etc. I was even using icloud, empty? They tell me IF I find anything wrong or not working again to just bring it back. My iMovie videos ALL the edits are missing ? I can't find ANY of my videos in my itunes my Library is empty as it is in imovie except for 2 videos? HELP! I can't imagine having to re-edit my entire video with sound effects, fronts, graphics, etc. I spent weeks on this :-( I'm at my wits end with my iMac.... I have searched in my previous itunes library EMPTY ! Waaaah! I want my mommy....
The Apple Store is not responsible for data loss and generally does not do any backups of your data before performing any repairs, though in some cases, as seems to be the case in yours, they guide you to making your own backup. Here's what they say on the "getting service page" (when I've taken a system in for service a similar statement was presented to me when I agreed to the service):
Many repairs require Apple to replace or reformat the hard disk, which will result in the loss of your data. Please make sure you back up your data on a regular basis to minimize your data loss. Learn more about backup options. Apple and Apple Authorized Service Providers are not responsible for any damage to or loss of any applications, data, or other information stored on your Mac desktop while performing service.
Since you say that you backed up your videos before the drive was replaced, why can you not just restore them? And did you not back up anything else?
If you didn't make any sort of backup of your other data prior to taking the iMac in for service, then sorry but your data is almost certainly gone. Regular reliable backups are a must, particularly when dealing with content you spend a lot of time creating. You may be able to re-download any content you purchased from the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, but anything else you'll have to recreate or re-obtain from the original source.
Regards.

File corrupt whilst working on it when battery died?!! why?! help?
Hey everyone,
I use a Macbook Pro and I've been working on a really important file in Flash CS3 for the past week, and whilst working on the latest version outside yesterday, my battery died suddenly (it had run down, but no message came up to warn me)...
When I restarted my Macbook and tried to reopen this file it came and still comes up with the message "Failed to open document"... All my other files are fine, it's just the file I was working on.
Another message appeared only once, saying something like "Javascript error... cannot find file" but I haven't been able to get that message up again to note it down in full.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? Is there any file recovery software I can use? (preferably free! I'm a student!!) Is there an explanation to why this has happened?? It shouldn't have!
Please help if you can think of anything! I can't even find an apple support number that appears relevant... This file is really important, I've lost days of work that I need asap!
Is there any hope?
Thanks,
HannahI have no idea if it is possible to recover the file. Never, ever edit the only copy of a file. It should have been backed up to a different location after every update to the file, preferably under different names so you could roll back to previous versions at any time. Thumb drives are cheap insurance against the problem that you encountered. Does CS3 make it's own backup copies?

File format which cannot be edited when reviewed by clients?
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to save an AI file so that no one can edit the content? I need to show a person something I designed, but I do not want it to be editable, but I want to preserve the high resolution, etc. I tried saving it in JPEG and reopened the file in AI, but I was able to edit it and all the edges were jagged even though I deselected "anti-alias". Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!Once the design has been approved by my client and is ready to be sent to the printer, I will contact them to see what file format(s) they need, etc.
Again, PDF. Nowadays, whole document designs are typically delivered as press-ready PDFs. This avoids the older practice of sending an "ouput bundle" (the native page document, all fonts used, all external files linked). Most decent design programs provide a feature for automating the gathering of an ouput bundle. Illustrator does not.
However, I am a bit confused with all the prepress tasks involved in Illustrator CS5.
Exporting PDF (Save a Copy As...; same thing), you need to choose the proper PDF export options. AI comes with a few pre-sets, one of which is Press Ready. In most cases, that will be fine. Think of exporting a PDF as sort of capturing the print stream on its way to the printer. Native constructs get "broken down" to simpler objects that a PostScript printer's RIP can understand. So in a sense, creating a PDF is, in itself, sort of a printability check. The PDF will be printable...but that doesn't mean you've built everything right in the document for good printing results.
I have already set the Document Effects Raster Setting to the highest setting in order to make sure that all my effects are high resolution when exported.
The highest setting? And what would that be? You can key any PPI value you want into the Document Raster Effects Setting dialog.
Diane, how do you determing the appropriate resoution setting for raster effects?
FYI, my design contains gradients, shadows and transparency
Gradient fills are not raster effects; they are computed. They are unaffected by Document RASTER Effect Setting.
Shadows are raster effects if they are blurred, and/or if they interact transparently with other objects in such a way as to require rasterization. If they are not blurred, and if they have transparency applied that can be flattened without rasterization, then again, Document Raster Effects Setting does not apply.
so I am unsure if it needs to be Flattened or does the printing company usually do that?
Depending on the PDF version you save the press-ready PDF as, the necessary flattening will occur as you save the PDF. This is where my earlier admonition about good printing results comes in. For example: Designers who don't really know (or don't really pay attention to) what they are doing will often commit this error:
Apply an effect that will require rasterization to an object.
Stack that object on top of objects that are going to look really bad if rasterized (ex: partially overlapping body text).
Save it as a press-ready PDF.
The file prints correctly (technically), but looks like amateurish crap.
Why? Because the uncovered portions of the overlapped object are sliced and diced by the flattening process into vector objects, and the adjacent overlapped portions are rasterized. The difference is visible, distracting, and ugly in the final output.
What is the most common procedure as far as prepress tasks are concerned?
Practices depend on specific situations. It is ridiculous to expect to receive a foolproof primer on all the caveats you may encounter in an online forum. You have to learn as you go, pay attention to what you are doing, and test. That's what contract proofs are all about; they catch errors before committing to an expensive press-setup.
But you can test your own files alot (and educate yourself in the process) using Acrobat Pro. Preview the color separations plates in Acrobat. Zoom in and see what kind of objects are actually there.
You can easily teach yourself what is actually going on with features like raster effects, the Document Raster Effects Setting, and flattening by creating a few simple objects, applying the effects, flattening the objects, and dissecting the results. Save the file as a press-ready PDF, but turn off the Maintain Illustrator Editability option. Then open the resulting PDF in Illustrator and dissect it. You'll begin to figure out what is actually going on and common sense will guide you away from bad practices and toward workarounds to prevent ugly surprises in the final output.
The following soapbox comments are not directed to you, Diane, so don't take offense--none is intended. You are at least thinking about such things. But this forum is public, and those with ears to hear can benefit.
That's the problem with these kinds of programs. In an attempt to isolate the "creative" user from anything remotely technical, they are filled with click & drag interfaces for instant-gratification effects which tend to hide basic facts about what's going on that the designer really needs to understand.
Before programs like Illustrator started mixing raster and vector features (especially so-called "live raster effects") the same imagery could be (and was) built. But it had to be deliberately built object-by-object by the designer, not with click & drag instant-gratification features. As a result, earlier digital designers developed a better understanding of what was actually going on behind all the smoke and mirrors.
Nowadays, too many wannabe designers think they can just be prima-dona "creatives" without involving themselves in any technical matters. That's a recipe for costly disaster in print.
That's what I mean when I repeatedly say that it is folly to pick up a program like this and just jump into doing commerical work with it before thoroughly readilng the documentation. None of this is rocket science, and I don't mean to suggest it is. But a print designer can't just knock around in a program, thinking his responsibilty ends with making something look good on a computer monitor. That's the rude awakening web-centric designers encounter when first trying to design for print; just because something looks right on screen doesn't ensure it's going to look right in print.

I want both of the computers to have their own independent time capsule.
want both of the computers to have their own independent time capsule.
I assume that you are asking about using the Time Capsules for Time Machine backups here, correct?
If yes, both MBAs will be able to select the specific Time Capsule that they will use for backups, so "point" MBA1 to Time Capsule 1 and MBA2 to Time Capsule 2.
Since you will have plenty of available backup space if you use two Time Capsules, you might want to consider having each MBA back up to both Time Capsule 1 and Time Capsule 2.
This way, if one Time Capsule fails, you will still have a complete set of backups for both MBAs. -
Why Does idvd take my 26.2gb imovie file and compress it so small?
Please help. I've created a 17+ minute long imovie file that is 26.2gb. When I view the file information in idvd it says that it's only 0.6gb.
I've already burned a test copy and it looked way too compressed. Like a bad jpg file. From idvd, I burned 'best quality' to a disc image and toasted it. I know that idvd decides who to do the compression in some complex way, but is there another method to not have so much compression?
Thanks...Robert,
DV (as normally exported from iMovie to iDVD) runs
about 13 GB per hour. You say your content is 17
minutes and 26.GB - what CODEC did you use?
DVDs are in MPG-2 compressed format. In Best Quality
mode iDVD will take 120 minutes of DV content and
compress it to about 4 GB. So 17 minutes of content
could be about .6 GB.
F Shippey
Thanks for your reply. I didn't pick a codec. I just clicked create idvd from imovie and it did it for me. I've made at least 10 other dvds and haven't seen this much loss of quality before. I'm just not sure why...
0.6 was project size and I guess your math is right, but I've very disappointed with quality.
Thanks,
Bob -
Faint ring around the edge of my display - getting worst over time
I have been noticing over time a faint ring around the edges of my display - mostly prevalent when screen is blank (I.e. rebooting) but is present at all times. It's color is faint gray and seems to be getting more noticeable over time. It's not a big issue - just wondering what it could be. It's possible that this imac is simply aging - it's on its 5th year. And, running strong!
Interesting. Can you post pics of the "ring"? Does the ring occur around areas of greatest use or or wear?

I would like to "Transfer" all the iMovie files to my Time Capsule.
My MacBook Pro has run out of space. Now I want to "Move" all of my iMovie files to my newly purchased Time Capsule. (Guy in store said wouldn't be a problem)
I already have proceeded with the standaard Time mashine backedup (Which took ages even through cable)
and now I want to move stuff.
So I have iMovie 09; Mac OS X 10.6.8; and a new 2T Time Capsule
(and why is Time Capsule showing up as "Data" with yellow triangle in iMovie under Hard Disks)
PLease Help me
Kind Regards Remoremogolf wrote:

Guy in store was wrong, or there was a misunderstanding
(and why is Time Capsule showing up as "Data" with yellow triangle in iMovie under Hard Disks)
Because iMovie won't work with files on a network -- it would be excruciatingly slow.
You need an external HD; or a larger internal HD; or to move some other stuff elsewhere.
Besides, if you have your backups on your Time Capsule, you don't want to put other stuff there anyway. First, how will you back up that other stuff? Second, mixing TM backups and other stuff on the TC will cause conflicts. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds. -
Appleworks file corruption with Time Capsule
i've been working on multiple word processing files in appleworks the last couple of days when my time capsule begins to backup. every time i've had files open, they have been corrupted, and would not save. also, in my finder, i find these files labeled as huge strings of numbers and capital letters. i can open them and it's the last version i saved before the time capsule kicked in. (however, it's sort of like a ghost file - -i can see it, but i can't save any new information). now i'm paranoid and saving constantly, in case the time capsule pops up while i'm working! anyone else have this corrupt file problem with their time capsule? (we just got it, and we run leopard)
sorry.. i've been away for awhile..
no, i am talking about files which i have PREVIOUSLY created (say "dog.cwk") and have open, and am in the process of changing data when the time capsule clicks in. when the time capsule goes no while i am working in the file, two things happen. 1) i cannot resave the file, and must rename it to get it to save (so i will now have 2 files, dog.cwk and dog1.cwk) AND at the same time a file is automatically created that is named something like this:MAD321E581167430232-8119 (an actual file name that was created during one of these occurences). so i end up with 3 files: the original, the one i had to create to resave, and a third file that i don't know exists until i go into the hard drive to find out where my original went!
also, if i save again while the time capsule is on, i can save to dog1.cwk, but it might create another file called MAD321E581167430232-8119-1. i've only had this happen once, but it's still weird.
so, i am working on one file and i end up with 3 or 4.. and i can access and work in the original, but can't SAVE any changes.
now i find out it happens in my photoshop files as well - so it looks like a time capsule issue or a hard drive issue, rather than just a single software issue. -
Restored from Time Machine but iPhoto library file corrupted
iMac OSX 10.9.4 crashed mid-use. Would not chime let alone re-start. Restored successfully from Time Machine and apart from Mail sending (hopefully) a few up to four year old emails again, it seemed fine. However, apart from one or two images, iPhoto (9.5.1) library was not visible in its location on an external hard drive. Inspecting Package Contents revealed that the size seemed right and the masters were present so I used Photo Library First Aid (Command Option start) to Repair Permissions and then again to Repair Database. All images and events now ok, as I believe are the locations, but the previously identified Faces are all missing. Is there a way to recover these?
I do have a separate Carbon Copy Cloner back up from the iPhoto external hard drive to another external hard drive and before, throughout and after the iMac crash, this back up process continued to operate normally. So I could try and re-store the iPhoto library from a CCC back. I just wondered if anyone knew another way that I could just repair the Faces part as the rest seems ok now.Hi Mr D
Still wading through treacle!
I recall I used iPhoto Library Manager and then selected largest file size and most metadata to merge the two libraries. Still not perfect but images are there even if a few face thumbnails are absent.
Using SMART Utility I checked to see what was going on with hard drives as a CCC back up reported some deep system files were on an unreadable block. I should have replaced them from CCC but there were only a few and they were so unusual I hesitated. Whilst searching which replacement hard drive I could fit and whether I could fit it myself, iMac crashed again so another restore from TM. (According to SU my hard drive is failing as it has 6 re-allocated blocks and 1 event error). Back up and restored, I now see that various movies in iMovie '09 cannot access the source files as they are not in the original location. This I think is more to do with me relocating my iPhoto library for space reasons to an external hard drive rather than the crashes and re-builds. I hadn't realised the distinction between imported movies into iMovie '09 (from a movie camera say) and those from iPhoto (from an iPhone say) and what would happen if, for space reasons, I moved the iPhoto library to an external hard drive. Yes, I know now I should have consolidated the movies. There are occasions when a small user guide might help! Also the new iMovie '10 library, which runs as an alternative alongside iMovie '09, is happily located on the external hard drive whereas the iMovie '09 library sits on the iMac's hard drive.. All the still images are ok in all the movies in iMovie '09 (even having moved?) its just the .avi files that it cannot locate. Simples, I thought. I created a folder in iPhoto '09 with all the iPhoto avi files and thought if I exported them and then imported them into a new library in the location (my iMac user pictures folder) it would then be able to 'see' them. Problem is in the iPhoto '09 library on the external hard drive I have many more folders than in the newly created iMovie '09 library on the iMac hard drive. iMovie '09 is looking for /Users/'me'/Pictures/iPhoto library/Originals/'movie file title'/'file name'.avi but the 'Originals' folder is in fact just an alias to point to an adjacent folder in the iMovie library package called 'Masters' and in the new library I only have 'Masters' and not an alias 'Originals' folder.
So iMovie '09 still cannot 'see' the .avi files even though they are now (almost) in the right location on the correct drive (the iMac) as I don't have an 'Originals' folder in this library whereas the legacy library does. Can I get around this? Why does one library have a 'Masters' folder as well as an 'Originals' and 'Modified' aliases and the new library only 'Masters'? As I cannot re-point iMovie I need to have an 'Originals' alias pointing at 'Masters' for this to possibly work. My plan was to resolve the project issues once the files were all accessible in the correct place and then consolidate and move the iMovie '09 library as a working entity to the external hard drive where there is space.
The second issue is that of the c600 .avi files I exported (all of which function in the library from whence they were exported), 129 will not import into the new '09 library I have created on my iMac hard drive. This is odd as they are visible and play in their source library but refuse to be imported into the new one made with the same application. Other than a couple of the ones that do import showing a format in QT as 16 bit little-endian signed integer 44100Hz as opposed to 8 bit unsigend integer 16000HGz for one that didn't, I am at a loss to understand what the new library objects to.
I have now isolated all the exported .avi files that will not import into a folder pending someone hopefully providing a answer.... -
Overly large time machine files
Hi There,
my disk that I use for Time machine (120GB Lacie USB) has recently become corrupted, so that it is currently 'read only' So I decided to copy my Time machine files to another drive, so I could format my main one, and then put them back. But this is proving harder that it looks. My temporary drive is a Lacie NAS (250GB), connected via a switch to my iMac, but I can't drag and drop the files as it wont let me.
So I used another backup program to make a copy, but when I got home from work it had copied 2 of the 49 folders, amounting to 150GB of data, but my main drive is only 120GB!!! How can Time Machine have created 49 (nearly) identical folders containing 90GB of data in each one on a 120GB drive?
And perhaps more importantly, how can I make a backup of my Time Machine files, so that once I have reformatted (or maybe replaced) my main drive I can copy them back and pick up where I left off.Time Machine backup files cannot be copied in the normal way. TM uses hard links and what they call "multi-links" so as to keep only one copy of each unique version of each file.
For example, if you have a file called "MyFile", if you navigate to it in the backupdb in the Finder you will see it in every timed/dated TM backup folder, and "Get Info" will report the file's true size if restored, but you are really only seeing a hard link; the actual file data is stored invisibly in the backupdb, and the file data is retained as long as there is at least one (hard) link to it.
Apple has taken this technology one step further, and does the same with entire directories (folders).
Thus, the total amount of space used for a TM backupdb directory will be far less than the total of the "Get Info" reported size of all its dated folders.
SuperDuper! can clone a TM backupdb directory and maintain all these special links. There may now be other utilities which can do this, such as CCC, but I'm not sure which.
I'd suggest first using SuperDuper! to clone your corrupted read-only TM backup to a disk image stored elsewhere for safekeeping. If you want to be able to continue building upon your TM backup it will need to be retained with all its links intact.
Another consideration is that TM creates a backup on a NAS drive as a sparsebundle, essentially a "size-adjustable" disk image.
Once you have that clone of your TM backup disk as a SuperDuper! disk image you can then restore that disk image to your new TM backupdrive. If you then need to restore to a new or reformatted main drive you should then be able to do so from the restored TM backup.
Make sense? -
Why is there over ten thousand file in my "All My Files" on my new MBP. I'm very new at using ICloud. I don't understand syncing vs time vs time vs syncing! I simply have not idea how to manage my files now. I read short comments & how to's in the support sections, but nothing I've read so far explains"best practices" or turning iCloud off to get a grip on managing files. I have 250gb fast storage on the MBP itself, and 200gb in the ICloud, one would thing that's enough. The files seem too be multiplying like rabbits. IPhoto's Faces has created hundereds of "somethings" not sure what. I am sure I am very frustrated! Please comment with kindness.

Yes,I am confused. To say its just another drive is a "buzz statement".
OK, for example. If I download a document, song, or photo from ICloud, as I understand, it goes to Download in Finder. If I want to move it to a local folder of my choice on the solid state drive in my new MBP, does a copy always stay in ICloud? How do you housekeep? I have always used to a physical drive. What is different about the mind set. I used ICloud to store the contents of my old MBP. Once I download all the files I need, should I turn off ICloud and manage the file locally? I don't like the automatic movement of files when I don't understand the locations.
Nope, you don't understand it.
If you download a song from the iTunes cloud storage (which is not iCloud) it goes into the iTunes music folder (generally to a subfolder therein)
If you download a document from the iCloud drive it will go wherever you chose to put it.
If you download a photo from the iCloud Photo library it will also go wherever you choose to put it.*
If you move something you have not copied it, if you want to keep a copy on the iCloud drive and in a local folder, you would copy, not move it.
There is no 'automatic' movement, you decide what to store on the iCloud drive (exactly like any other drive) and what to remove.
The iCloud drive appears as a folder in Finder, you use it just like any other, copy/paste, save, delete etc.
You can turn the iCloud drive off whenever you like, download the content to a local drive first.
* Because the iCloud drive appears as a folder in Finder there is in fact no need to ever download anything to your Mac, everything on the drive is already on your Mac. -
