Quitting when cropping or cutting

I have iMovie 3.0.3 and when I try to edit or cut a video, it justs quits. No message. Also, the video and timeline are not matching. The clip in the timeline is extra long. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the discussions.
First of all, never empty iMovie's trash. You may destroy your project (due to a bug).

FCE Quits when using timeline !

Hi,
Final Cut Express (2.0.3) always quits when using the timeline to scroll in the movie or inside clips. If I use "shift + arrows" it's ok, but I'd prefer being able of using the timeline to "travel" trough the film !
I've tried thrashing preferences, reinstalling Quicktime : it doesn't work better.
Can you help ?
Thanks,
Thomas.

Hi
I meant : I click on the timeline then move the mouse, and it quits.
Like I said, I already tried to trash preferences...
Thanks anyway...
Once, I read a post indicating how to properly uninstall Quicktime to reinstall from the downloaded installer... But I can't find this post again.

IMovie crops-truncates-cuts-deletes left and right area of ".mov" movie!!!

iMovie crops-truncates-cuts-deletes left and right area of mov movie!!!
I am using iMovie 8.05 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 on Mactel. Is that iMovie '09. The dual-naming is utterly confusing.
OK, here is my problem:
When I import a ".mov" file (generated by screen movie capture via Internet using Snapz Pro X) into iMovie, it shows complete on the lower pane (event timeline). Yet, when I drag from the event timeline pane it to the top left pane (project), the movie shows truncated-cropped (the left and right parts of the screen are not shown). That is, such left and right areas are deleted!
Is this a bug? How to fix it?
Thanks.

Update:
I have seen that I can use the "Window - Cropping..." menu to fit, crop and ken burns, yet if I choose to fit, then all the movie is included which is what I want, but also black areas are shown on top and bottom of the movie which I do not want. Is there a way to delete such black areas?
If instead I try to use crop or ken burns, I cannot include all the movie area, because the real area of the movie is much wider than the area that the iMovie frame allows. Is there a way to select beyond the default area on the left and right, to really include all the movie?
Thanks.

IDVD quits when previewing Project

iDVD quits when trying to preview the Project when using uncompressed movie which was exported with uncompressed Quicktime 4:2:2 8 bit from Final Cut Express 4.
When I use quicktime to play the exported movie it works fine. I soon as I put this exported movie into the iDVD project and select play to test the Project, iDVD just quits. If I go back to Final Cut Express and export the project again this time just using default Quicktime move export and update the iDVD project to this movie it works when testing DVD in iDVD. iDVD does not appear to like the uncompressed movie.
Any suggestions on what needs to be done in order to use uncompressed movie with iDVD? The project I have is only 44 minutes long. The reason I wanted to use uncompressed was that I have graphic elements (ie fancy title etc from LiveType) that I want to preserve the quality.

how much available Hard Drive space is currently on the boot volume (your main HD)?
If it's over 25 GB's, did you export your QT movie like this (w/chapter markers only)?

Yup, it just copies all the information on that page to your Windows clipboard, for you to paste anywhere (email, text file, etc.).

When in Final Cut My MacBook Screen goes black

I was working on Final Cut on my Macbook Pro and everything was running smoothly until I used the "help" tab to find out how to freeze frame. I moused over to the drop down window to hit the command and I either clicked on it or something around it, then my screen went black. I have a dual screen and nothing happened to my external monitor. Now the weird thing is when I use any other program my Macbook screen comes back to normal. It even comes back to normal when a Final Cut prompt windows come up on the screen but as soon as I answer the prompt the screen goes back to black. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hit command+F12 and see what happens.
It sounds like you've enabled Desktop Cinema Preview.

I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

Mail unexpectedly quits when I try to open the Mail Application 4.5 and system is 10.6.8

Mail unexpectedly quits when I try to open the Mail Application 4.5.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
I have tried the suggestions already given on Lists, and nothing has yet worked...

10.6.8 is not Mountain Lion.
How big is your hard drive, and how full is it?
Did you happen to download any system cache cleaners? Those can damage its ability to function.
Have you tried repairing permissions?
Is your data backed up?
Is Spotlight indexed?
Is the Mail trying to load an IMAP, POP or Exchange account?

Mail unexpectedly quits when launching

My mail quits when I try to launch. Usually it gets to the point of connecting to my mail server, and then dies.
I have tried repairing permissions, disk repair, and tech tool. I have downloaded and reinstalled the combined update
Here is a snippet from the crash report

ANy ideas?

Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried both. Deleting the pref file would not even let me launch MAIL
Turning off Junk Mail filtering did not help either.
I have run Tech Tool, repaired permissions again, and reinstalled cumulative update again.
If I leave the network connection unplugged, it will launch and quit randomly after a minute or two of struggling
ANy help would be greatly appreciated

Applications Quit when trying to print on HP LaserJet 3055 All-in-one

Just upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 and my applications quit when I try to print on my HP printer which is on a local network. (I can't scan either) I can still print on my USB Epson printer. I have uninstalled and installed the printer software. Everything worked fine on 10.3. I have repaired permissions. What should I do next?

Hi Bossless,
Have you checked for the latest drivers on HP's site, their CDs generally come with outdated Drivers, and complicated by the fact that an early 10.4 Driver may not work with 10.4.11
Many hp Drivers need to be uninstalled by hand before installing a newer version, look for directions on the net for that.

On my iPad Air Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow.

On my iPad Air , Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow on an internet site. Sometimes it doesn't crash but the slideshow is freezes. Any idea why?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My dvd player will not let me change regions, it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?

My dvd player will not let me change regions, it says i have one more chance to change it, then it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

My CS6 program that has never had a problem before, is not telling me that there is an error and that it "unexpectedly quit" when I simply try to launch the program. I have restarted my computer several times. It does the same thing each time. So then I tried uninstalling the program and re-installing. It said that it could not install due to an error. So I STILL can't launch my program. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. I have to edit photos for a photoshoot and return them tomorrow. :/
