Project disappeared from iMovie 10.0.5 after crash

Thanks for reading, your help is greatly appreciated.
After importing my final clip, iMovie crashed. After starting up again, the project was there but only the "skeleton" timeline was visible with a red icon. I waited for a few minutes then decided to force quit. After startup my project was gone.
I have been around many discussions on the same topic but none of the solutions have worked.
I opened the package contents of the iMovie Library file in my Movies folder and successfully found the following files inside the time stamped folder:
- CurrentVersion.imovieevent
- Original Media folder with my mp4 clips
- Render Files folder
- Shared Files folder
- [Project name] folder containing CurrentVersion.imovieevent
- CurrentVersion.flexolibrary
Some system info:
iMovie version 10.0.5
OSX 10.9.4
Again I have been around the discussion forum and none of these threads have helped me at all:
- Project disappeared
- iMovie 10.0.3 project disappears after share

Do you mean you want to extend the duration of a still in the movie and you no longer have the iMovie project on your computer?  (If you still have the project it is much better to edit this and re-export).
After importing the finished movie back into a new iMovie project you can split it either side of the part you want to lengthen (see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#movf8b8fc9b2) then increase the duration of the split out part.
Hope this helps,
Geoff.

  • My project disappears from iMovie'11!

    I made a project for my video with files imported from iTunes and iPhoto libraries.
    First of all, iMovie didn't finalize the project and I don't know why.
    In second instance, when I restarted my computer the project was gone from the project library on iMovie.
    What I don't understand is that the project is still on the "iMovie projects"'s  folder in the Finder.
    Can anybody help me with this problem, please?

    Did anyone ever get an answer for this?

  • Why did my project disappear from the project library?

    I recently finished a project, exported it to the "project file" in the Movie folder, and from there burned it to a disk. No problem. Since then, I have been thinking about making a couple of changes to the project, but when I opened the Project Library in iMovie, lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. All of my other projects were there, but this one was gone.
    I looked in the project file in the Movie folder, and there it was, along with the movie, but I can't edit it any further in its present location. If it were in the project library (where it belongs), I could certainly edit it, but I can't figure out how to get it back there, so to speak.
    Two questions: first, why did it disappear from the Project Library, and second, what can I do about it now? I could always start from scratch (using clips in the Event Library), but that means doing everything over again, which I prefer not to do. Any ideas?

    I've got the similar problem:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3628821
    any one able to solve it???
    I've also restarted a million times but it still doesn't seem to work...
    thanks

  • Backup Project Converted from iMovie

    Hi, new to FCE from iMovie, as you can tell from this post. I have an iMovie project that I converted to FCE and want to back it up to reclaim some hard drive space. I have a few questions on just what I need to keep and what I can toss.
    1) AutoSave Vault. Do I need all of these, just the most recent, or any of them?
    2) Render Files. Do I need to save all of these?
    3) Audio Render Files. Ditto.
    Also, just out of curiosity, after you import an iMovie project into FCE, do you still need to keep the iMovie project? Does it copy the DV files into FCE, or does it refer back to them in iMovie?

    You may want to post your question in the FCE forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936

  • Time Capsule Disappears from Radius Base Stations List after adding

    I'm running a Mac Mini with 10.7, Lion Server, and Server Admin Tools along with a Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Generation).
    After I add the base station (you can see my steps below) the base station restarts and then disappears from the list. The base station is then ignored:
    Sat Jul 23 11:47:41 2011 : Error: Ignoring request to authentication address * port 1812 from unknown client 10.0.1.1 port 65530
    This is because it's not listed as a known base station in the radius config (as far as I can tell). No other errors (than the one above) listed in either radiusconfig Log or radiusd Log. I cannot figure out how to add the base station to the list! Do I need to just manually add it to the clients.conf? If I do that, I feel like I probably won't get any of the special features that come with the Server managing the base station. Has anyone else experience this?
    The base station does get the configuration from the server when I set it up, it switches from WPA 2 Personal to WPA 2 Enterprise with a shared secret, the correct IP and port 1812.
    The server does not have a firewall configured or enabled (for simplicity while configuring this...)
    Here's how I set up Radius:
    Selected the Time Capsule from the Hardware list in Server.app
    Checked the box for "Allow user name and password login over wi-fi"
    Opened up the Server Admin.app and selected my server
    Expanded to choose RADIUS
    Chose Configure RADIUS Service
    Allowed all users
    Selected my Base Station and entered the password
    Used my default certificate
    Accepted the default options
    Let the Time Capsule restart
    After the Time Capsule was back online, Base Stations lists 0 base stations.
    Clicked on the Base Stations Tab and Chose Browse, selected the base station, entered the password, let the Time Capsule Restart, it shows up in the list, but when the list is refreshed, the Time Capsule no longer appears in the list.
    Clicked on the add button ("+") and Added the information manually, set a shared secret, and let the Time Capsule restart, it shows up in the list, but when the list is refreshed, the Time Capsule no longer appears in the list.
    Using Terminal, manually tried to add the Base Station: radiusconfig --capture-base-station 10.0.1.1 10.0.1.254
    Entered a shared secret
    Time Capsule restarted, was never listed in the radius config

    Hello, I am having the same exact problem. Have you figured out a solution?

  • Apps disappeared from "Use Cellular Data For" after iOS 8.0.2

    Normally, when you go to Settings->Cellular Data, you can see a list of all apps that use data, and you are able to turn cellular data on or off for each app individually.
    I had been using this feature since iOS 7 without problem, until I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2.
    Now, only "FaceTime" and "Passbook" appear under this list. All other apps, including Mail, Safari, etc. have disappeared.
    What's worse, apps for which I had turned cellular data for---such as YouTube---cannot be turned back on, because they have disappeared from this list. Therefore, I am permanently unable to use YouTube without Wifi because of this bug. The same goes for every app for which I had turned off cellular data.
    I tried restoring the iPhone (it's an iPhone 5), to no avail.
    Does anyone else have this issue, or is it a weird bug with just my phone?

    Hi jah_mez69,
    No, I did not solve this problem, and it persists in iOS 8.1.2.
    Apple have a reluctance to take bugs affecting smaller groups of users seriously. With regard to this bug, their attitude is that we should just erase our phones and set them up from scratch. This is something I refuse to do.
    I did open a new bug about this in the bug tracker (bug #18732898). It hasn't been closed yet, which means at the very least, they have not decided to totally ignore this bug forever. However, don't get your hopes up for a fix.
    I have learned to live with it, but it has pushed me closer to choosing Android for my next phone. I am fairly confident that iOS software bugs are far less important to Apple than developing smart watches and payment systems and getting the next "hot" feature out the door.

  • I shared my imovie in media browser and the project disappeared from my computer...any ideas of where it might be? I've searched everything.

    I created a 30 min video in imovie and then clicked share in media browser....
    I went to go find it and the raw footage is in imovie, but the project is GONE.
    Nowhere to be found, not idvd not imovie, only some crypric .
    I can't even find media browser on my computer even though when I go to
    download media browser, my computer tells me I already have it!!!
    Where oh where has my imovie gone?
    thanks in advance,

    What do you mean by raw footage when you say "I went to go find it and the raw footage is in imovie, but the project is GONE." Can you open your working movie in IMovie Edit Project window? Does it show to the left of the file name in the Project library or Share/Media Browser drop-down box that it has processed the movie?
    my processed movies are listed in the iMovie Projects folder as Movies/iMovie Projects.localized. Using this file, the drag and drop worked for me so I was able to burn the movie on iDVD. However, shared iMovie projects are still not recognized by iDVD. An old project has disappeared and the new one does not appear in iDVD in the Media pane as it should. I checked the preferences, and directed it to look in the iMovies Project folder. I am currently sharing with iTunes and when I open IDVD the medium shared movie is there as should be. Hummm. Why not the large shared movies showing in IDVD?
    You probably have tried several things already but: open your "more info" box for the movie file if you can, and there the extension shows .rcproject and make sure you are checked to open with iMovie.
    Check your iDVD preferences. Make sure it is looking in the right place for your movie files. It automatically checks in "Movie" folder but you can also ADD by directing it to your iMovie Project file specifically. You could go into your Home Library and dump your preferences then reopen IMovie and see if it helps (don't trash your preference until you reopen IMovie and see it is working okay) but this did nothing to help me.
    In iMovie, try removing your movie from Media Browser  and reprocessing it. You might send it to iTunes and see if it shows correctly there.
    I will keep at this as there appears to be a bug with the processing of large movies and IDVD recognizing them as previously. It is just not finding shared movies.

  • How do I recover an iMovie project that "disappeared" from iMovie, but its' thumbnail/package contents is still in Finder?

    I created an iMovie project and finalized it, but when I tried to look for it, it was gone in the iMovie project library. I can find it on"finder", and open package contents etc, but it won't play in iMovie. How do I recover it? Its really important!

    I think the trick is to 'Considate source media' on the new library.  See:

  • Movies are disappearing from iMovie 10.0.5

    I recently downloaded a video to iMovie from my video camera.  It was there yesterday and I viewed it many times (I did not use it to create a project), but today the movie is now gone. I have searched everywhere.  In addition, the movies that ARE displaying under the iMovie Library seem to have no associated save file. I have also searched everywhere to find those save files in hopes I could locate the one that is missing.  I can find all the OLD movies from the older version of iMovie, but cannot locate any of the new movies and their associated save files.

    Do you mean you want to extend the duration of a still in the movie and you no longer have the iMovie project on your computer?  (If you still have the project it is much better to edit this and re-export).
    After importing the finished movie back into a new iMovie project you can split it either side of the part you want to lengthen (see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#movf8b8fc9b2) then increase the duration of the split out part.

  • IPhoto movies have disappeared from iMovie 09

    Hello,
    I have been using iLife '09 for several months now. Up until a week ago, videos from my camera that were in iPhoto have always appeared in iMovie under "iPhoto Videos". These have now disappeared... how could this have happened and how do I get them back? iMovie would always automatically search for movies in iPhoto and create thumbnails and it now tells me there are "No Matching Videos" when I select "iPhoto Videos".
    The projects that I created with these videos remain in my project library and I can edit them.
    Any help is much appreciated...

    Woohoo!!! What a great tip. I've searched high and low for a solution to this and found miles of posts that didn't disclose this simple fix. Per your tip, I turned the music off for all my iPhoto slideshows (I only have 4) and, like magic, this triggered iMovie to rebuild the clip thumbnails. Now my iMovie "iPhoto Videos" is populated with all my clips neatly organized by iPhoto event. Neat!

  • Images disappear from camera menu in iphoto after import

    After I import pictures from a canon camera to iphoto, they do not appear in the camera menu when I click on it in the program.  Does that mean they are deleted from the camera or are they just hidden on the program but still on the camera?

    sorry but your post is not clear
    What version of iPhoto do you have? Of the OS?
    After I import pictures from a canon camera to iphoto,
    OK
    they do not appear in the camera menu
    Please explain this
    when I click on it in the program.
    What program? What are you clicking on? what happens? what do you expect to happen?
    Does that mean they are deleted from the camera
    Did you delete them after importing the photos? If so did you reformat the memory card using the camera (recommended) or have iPhoto delete then after importing (not recommened) or did you choose to keep the photos?
    or are they just hidden on the program
    Again what program?
    but still on the camera?
    No one but you can answer this - are they still on the memory card when you put it in the camera
    BTW it is strongly recommended that you never have any computer program including iPhoto delete your photos - after importing keep the photos and then after at least one successful backup cycle you can use your camera's format command to reformat and erase the memory card - personally I rotate between three large  cards so I do not delete the photos from my memory card for a year or more

  • Can someone at Apple explain why when resetting iOS devices the documents from iWork simply disappear from the iCloud backup? After resetting my iPad, icloud deleted my documents!

    I did backup my documents in icloud, I checked in www.icloud.com and they were there, and I was thinking that I was safe to reset my iPad now and restore from the icloud backup, but when I'm setting up my iPad again......... BOOM! where are the Pages documents? They are not in my iPad (since I just wiped the iPad) and not anymore on icloud.

    Have you guys resolved this issue?  I started having the same problem after updating to iOS 7.  Keynote and Pages does not save to iCloud.  The little arrow on the upper right hand corner never goes away.  I create a document on iPad and it doesn't show up on my iPhone or vice versa. Please help!

  • Apps disappearing from my new iPad 2 after I joined the iCloud, then they show up on my PC iTunes!  How can I prevent this from happening??

    I just bought my first Apple computer - an iPad 2.  I downloaded a bunch of apps and they showed up on my desktop and I was using them.  I then turned on the iCloud function, and soon after all my apps were gone from the iPad.  Today I just noticed that they now show up on my home PC iTunes under APPS.  I don't want them there!  How do I keep this from happening???

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Trailers disappeared from iMovie 9

    I have previously been able to make trailers in iMovie 9 (Version 8.0.6)  Today I went to create a new trailer and when I select New Project I see themes but no trailer options.  Does anyone have any idea what might have happened to these options and how to recover them?

    Trailers were actually introduced with iMovie '11 (currently at version 9.0.9). Are you sure that you had previously created them using iMovie '09 (version 8.0.6)?
    Here's the Apple page regarding the introduction of iMovie '11 (see "What's New in iMovie"):

  • Projects disappear from Browser

    I am using Final Cut Pro 3 and after I have it open, I will open a project and work on it, then quit FCP, saving as the dialog boxes appear. The next time I open FCP, the project does not appear in the browser.
    Any ideas on what is happening?

    I cannot find the user setting you reference but I have several Projects that will come up all the time, which is what I need. Just now, I did a restart, and 2 of the 4 projects did not come up in the browser. These same projects came up fine before I restarted. Hmmm.
