Question why can't i create project in i movie

I have installed os x 10.8.4 a while ago and have gone to use iMovie. I get a box appear saying cannot create project check disk to ensure enough free space and that i have permissions.
I have enough space.
I have made sure i have permissions to read and write.
I have run repair permissions.
Nothing i do solves the problem.
Please help

Hi
I have enough space. - Exactly How Much - AND WHERE ?
I have made sure i have permissions to read and write. - OK
I have run repair permissions. - OK
Did You try to trash iMovie pref file ?
or rather - as it is easier and by-pass more files
- Create a new User Account
- Log into this
- Now try iMovie
If it works OK now - then we know where to find the problem
If still not working - it suggests more that can interfere
- Material used in Events / Projects got corrupted
- iPhoto Library corrupted or wrongly selected to one that iMovie can not find
- iMovie got corrupted = need to be re-installed
- and many more
See if You can give more info - to set us up on tracking the fault in the right direction.
Yours Bengt W

    At this time, it's not possible to collaborate on a Project with External Contributors or add an Externally-Facing group to a Project. This is functionality that we we hope to add at some point in the future.

  • Why can't I create property nodes for item in STRICT typedef cluster?

    I've tried this in LV7.0/WIN2k and LV 7.1/OSX - both versions work the same.
    I have a TYPEDEF consisting of a cluster of items A, B, and C.
    I have a front-panel instance of this typedef.
    Under certain conditions, I want to disable and gray Item C, because it's not applicable.
    So I need a property node connected to item C.
    If the typedef is STRICT, then I cannot create such a property node - the menu item to create anything is just not there.
    If I change to NON-STRICT, then I can create the property node.
    I can change it back to STRICT, and the property node works just fine.
    The question is, if the nodes WORK normally, why can I not CREATE one?
    If there's some sense behind this, someone please point it out to me...

    I agree with you, It would be nice to be able to keep the non strict typedef auto-update and extend it to properities which effect the look of a control. I am not sure why you can change the properities on a strict typedef. A strict typedef should have private properities (can only be changed from within the definition and no public other vi scope for writing these values. I have in the past used a custom control for presentation purposes and contained the structure of the data to be displayed within the typedef cluster. This is not all that automatic since we need vi's to convert between the definition and control. Seperating data structure from presentation is much like XML where the file only contains data structure and a reference to a style for presentation. It would be a very nice option to allow nonstrict typedefs to have an additional auto-update properities which could be toggled on and off. I would be curious to here others opinions on how to keep data structure and presentation consistant across an application without being tied down to a strict typedef (allowing the optional change of teh presentation at runtime).

    Why can't I create view in Analytic Workspace?

    Hi There,
    1) This is the OBIEE forum, by the sounds of your question, which doesnt have much detail, Im guessing you want the OLAP forum for AWM related issues.
    2) Trying to help, I guess your trying to create the AW cube views, what version of AWM are you using ? It was first provided as a plug in but Im pretty sure the latest version of AWM ships with the functionality.
    BTW I'd try posting in here : OLAP

  • Why can't I create a response to an email from the Viewer window?

    Why can't I create a response to an email from the Viewer window?
    When I select an email to respond to in the viewer window and click on the respond arrow that appears just under the header, a new response email opens for a split second then disappears.
    I have to actually click on and open the email message in its own screen to be able to then click on the respond arrow and succeed in having Mail open a response email that I can edit - one that remains open.
    This seems to be a bug that we need to have squashed.

    Do I have to connect the iPad to a computer to make this work? Is the fact that I used another email address to set up my Apple ID years ago causing the problem? A friend of mine just got a new iPod and he was able to set up a me.com account. I am feeling rather stupid. Hope someone here can help.

  • Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8,  for the simple reason it was
    created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
    OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
    current version for compatibility.

    Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad. It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures are deleted!

    Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures now will be deleted!

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • My daughter is 11 years ild, soon. Why can't I create i Apple id for her?

    My daughter is 11 years ild, soon. Why can't I create i Apple id for her?

    Because a law in the USA requires website operators to obtain parental permission before collecting any personal information from a child under 13, and many have simply chosen not to allow them to sign up.

    FormsCentral can be used from anywhere, but to purchase a subscription you need a credit card with the mailing address in one of the countries supported for purcahse:

    The partner can purchase if they have access to a card in one of those countries.  Alternatively they do not need to purchase a subscription to edit forms that you've created, they do in order to create multiple forms of their own, but by your sharing forms with them at the "Co-author" level they have access to the editing.  Here are the instructions to share a form:

    You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
    I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
    Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
    Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
    Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
    Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

  • Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Yeah, I have this problem too.  Since the HD purchase usually includes the SD movie too, I am perfectly content to watch SD on my Windows computer and HD on my AppleTV.
    Only workaround I've found for this is to buy the HD version of the movie on my iPad.  Then, download it to my computer via iTunes or by transferring it from my iPad.  I hear you can buy it on an iPhone too (4 or 4s) and achieve the same result.
    But that's a terrible workaround.  I have a number of other HD movies I've purchased with previous versions of iTunes, so this is absolutely something that Apple has introduced relatively recently.
