Please help: Not using 2 screens, but iMovie thinks I am!

This is a really odd one and has stopped me using iMovie for 3 months now. Here is the problem:
The last time iMovie was used I had the MB hooked into an external monitor, it sat to the right of the MB screen and was arranged that way in the display settings, so I could just scroll off the right hand side of the MC screen and the cursor would appear from the left hand side of the monitor. Follow?
The last time iMovie was used it was on the external monitor, when I'd finished using it I closed it down and disconnected the external. I don't have access to this screen anymore, but when ever I fire up iMovie it thinks the the monitor is still there and does not appear on the MB screen, but way off to the right of it, where the external used to sit. I can see iMovie when I perform the "all windows" command in Expose, but if I try to click on iMovie it just disappears off to the left, out of sight.
I've tried everything. Every other app knows the external monitor is not connected and does not appear on it, but iMovie point blank refuses to be visable on the MB monitor.
Please help!

i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...

That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

What is showing on the screen of the iPhone?
Does iTunes say the iPhone is in recovery mode?

Hi,
When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it won't support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor reverts back to the original resolution.
Regarding screen resolution, we may follow the below two articles to change it:
Change your screen resolution
Getting the best display on your monitor
Follow the steps below:
1. Open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button, clicking
Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution.
2.Click the drop-down list next to Resolution. Check for the resolution marked (recommended). This is your LCD monitor's native resolution—usually the highest resolution your monitor can support.
And if the monitor is LCD monitor, The monitor's manufacturer or reseller should also be able to tell you the native resolution for your LCD monitor. Or we may check the monitor's manual to adjust.

That would tend to indicate a permissions issues on the computer.
Running an outdated version of iTunes is of absolutely no benefit.
All iDevices work with the current version of iTunes.

Screen Saver does not use selected Screen Saver when activated

Screen Saver does not use selected Screen Saver when activated. After "Start screen saver" elapse time has been reached, a blank black full screen is displayed. I can activate the selected screen saver by using the hot corners function. Any help with this matter will be greatfully received.

Hi again sassey,
You're assuming correctly. Simply change the settings so that your screen saver activates before the sleep settings.
Hope this solves your problem...

Who is NOT using a screen protector?

I would like to hear from people not using any screen protector. Does your screen scratch up at all with normal use? I'd rather not apply one if I don't have to. I tried the one that came with my iSkin revo2 (the best skin case out there!), but I don't like it on there. The screen doesn't look as good as it does bare.

I never used a screen protector on my 1st generation iphone and never had any issues.
On my new 3g iphone - i did put on the invisible shield on the front and back. I didn't install it on the front to protect against scratches though - I installed it on the front as the invisible shield seems to GREATLY reduce the amount of finger smudges and smears - it made a huge difference in the amount of greasy fingers smears - works like magic, and it is also so clear that I really don't notice it on there.
I also put it on the back to keep the white plastic from getting scratched - it also has a slightly sticky feel to it - just the right amount which I like.
Best Buy sells the front side of the invisible shield for $15 - alot of money for sure but it's awesome. Check this vid on youtube - pretty darn strong

Are you using Keynote on an iPad?
If so you posted in the wrong forum, this is the Keynote Mac discussion and it is a different application. I dont know how the iPad works at all, so I cant help you, post in the Keynote iOS discussion.
If you are using a Mac, the colours palette is accesed by clicking on the colour well (arrowed) and then selecting a colour chip or changing the color in the colour wheel.
