Project Library panel blank, unable to create a new project

As it says. Using iMovie 08, my Project Library panel is blank, even if I start the program by double-clicking an existing project in the finder. If I choose to create a new project, it gives me the options (choose aspect ratio, enter name), but no project appears in the Library.
The program has worked in the past. I've tried deleting the iMovie app and re-installing to no avail.

Okay, finally fixed this. After viewing the log in the Console application when opening iMovie, it identified an iMovie data file located on an external HD as being a problem:
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:
/Volumes/Daddy's HD/iMovie Events.localized/PatrickStuff120307/iMovie Data
The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.
I'm not sure exactly what this means, but sending that file to the trash fixed the problem and the Project Library is functioning normally now.

  • I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

    I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives.  I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC.  Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files.  An help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.  If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC.  I do not share the drive with a PC.  The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use.  I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC.  I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them.  The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC.  I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

    Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate isn't installing on my iMac. Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition

    I have a 21.5" iMac (Late 2012) running OS X Mavericks. I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate via Bootcamp but whenever i get to the setup part it goes wrong
    These are the steps I followed
    I selected all the options since I didn't have the drivers or an install disk
    it copied the Windows 7 iso image, downloaded the support software, and saved the support software to the flash drive (8GB)
    I selected a partition size - I gave windows roughly 100GB
    and I let it install
    Right now I'm at the part where it says " where do you want to install windows? I selected the bootcamp partition and formatted it. It now says
    "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information"
    WHAT DO I DO?

    I had to read the apple instructions several times before they started to make sense.  I burned my iso onto a DVD and had the required USB for support software.  Are you trying to use the single USB method?
    This article has a lot of info on the single usb method

  • Boot Camp - Setup was unable to create a new system partition....from Windows install

    Hi folks.  So I ran the boot camp wizard and made a USB install key for windows from that.  I boot to it and everything works until I get to the install.  I format the Boot Camp partition as indicated in the walkthrough and then I get "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.  See the Setup log files for more information." from the Windows installer.  What do I do?   Thanks.              

    just to add to the mix. . . i just got a new macbook retina.
    Originally used a USB flash drive. Hit the same barrier described here.
    Spent a few hours with drive unplugging / replugging silliness. No progress. Went back into OSX to attempt using an external DVD drive. There is no option for that in Bootcamp assistant now - must use USB.
    Grabbed a different USB stick and started again. This time I used the other USB port on the macbook (the one on the left). Everything worked fine this time!?
    You still have to go into "advanced options" and hit "format" when you get to the partition screen.
    Moral of the story: different stick, different port. Sounds random. If that doesn't work, try changing your socks and putting on a hat.
    Good luck!

  • Unable to create a new Message  Layout : 500 attempts failed.

    I am getting this error " Unable to create a new Message Layout : 500 attempts failed." when I am trying to add my custom region to seeded Message Layout.

    Is that all the error message you are getting or java error stack is also there? It looks like a custom message as I couldn't find it in fnd messages. DO you have any other custom code on this page or is this a custom page?

  • Unable to create a new calendar

    I'm unable to create a new calendar in iCal. If I open the File menu, and hover on "New Calendar", it doesn't display me any options. Nothing happens! See screenshot below:
    Anyone have any ideas? I mainly use Google calendars, but I'd like to add a local calendar on my mac.
    Regards,
    Joost

    Fix:
    Open iCal preferences, disable all Google calendar accounts. Now I can create a new calendar "on my mac". After creating it I can turn the Google calendars back on and the local calender will stay.

  • Just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error; now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes.  how do i resolve this ?

    just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error;
    now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes. 
    how do i resolve this ?

    By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
    Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
    You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
    Click "Choose Library ..."
    You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
    Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
    Does your iTunes library open without the error?

  • Windows 7 Setup was unable to create a new system partition

    I had windows 7 ultimate installed on a raid striping configuration and one of the hard drives crashed.  I bought a new hard drive (WD Caviar Black 1TB) and when I went to reinstall windows 7, I got an error message saying Setup was unable to create
    a new system partition blah blah blah.  I did a lot of searching around for an answer, wondering if 1TB was too big of a hard drive to do a fresh install on, whether it was formated correctly, etc...
    What I eventually found to be the solution was to go into the BIOS and change a setting.  Somehow when my old hard drive crashed, the boot priority for hard drives automatically changed so that the first boot priority was one of my external hard drives.
     After I changed the boot priority so that the first priority was the hard drive I wanted to install windows 7 on, the installation went smoothly.  I think that's why other people had success after removing all external hard drives.  After a
    couple of reboots the boot priority most likely automatically updated to reflect which hard drives were actually connected.
    Anyway, I had a hard time finding this answer, it was frustrating beyond all belief, and I wanted to make it easily available in case it helps anybody else out in the future.
