Reinstalling iMovie error - incorrect language?

I bought iLife '06 and have been using it for the past year but wanted to install older iDVD themes that I hadn't previously installed. But for whatever reason I can't. Whenever I insert my install disc, I get an error that I can't install. The installer tells me that my computer's language is incorrect and can't continue.
What the heck is going on? I checked my System Prefs and in the International pane it's set to English. Is there something I'm overlooking? Lord knows I didn't change my machine's language. I don't have iLife '08 either, nor do I want it. Am I SOL or what?

OK... just wanted to pass along the actual error message I get when I try to perform an upgrade using my original iLife '06 disc:
*iLife is not compatible with the language of your computer.*
Please obtain a copy of iLife ’06 for your the language of your computer.
(no joke, that's the actual message, nonsense and all)

Cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Tryed CMD+R, reinstall OS, error message :damaged HD. When trying to repait it says it's OK. Yesterday HD wasn't even half full when I turned it off, now it says it's full.

What may have happened is an error and a kernel panic, filling up the logfiles.
What I recommend is first to find a way to backup your data without booting the hard drive directly if it isn't already backed up, and then get Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair the hard drive.    You'll probably want an external drive from http://www.macsales.com/
And you'll want to go into Hard drive -> Library -> Logs, System -> Library -> Logs, and Users -> yourname -> Library -> Logs to remove whatever you find there.
If after booting it fills up again, start by removing all startup items in your System Preferences for your user, and rebooting in safe mode with the shift key held down. If the hard drive is over 85% full after removing the logfiles, you may want to look at what were the last applications you installed.
Peer2peer software if installed can be as bad as a virus, because it enables others to access your computer. Insecure wireless networks are just as bad, if they are WEP or no encryption and someone is within 1500 feet of your computer.
If no such software is installed, your RAM probably has failed.    Run the hardware test that came with your computer, by booting with the 'D' key.
If nothing shows up there, it can still be the RAM.   Especially if you've seen any 4 language screens telling you to restart.
Here's more on kernel panics:

Can't reinstall iMovie revisited

I have the same problem as reported by Jim Mccarty, i.e. can't reinstall iMovie 4 with iTunes 4.7.1 installed. I have followed the instructions given to solve this problem: Log out, log in while holding down Shift key until Finder comes up. But when installing iMovie from the CD I receive the same message as before: "This installation cannot proceed because one of the following applications is running: GarageBand, etc." What am I missing here?--Mike

"Error: No valid packages (-9997)"
That MIGHT be relevant since iMovie is delivered as a
"package". There are also "packages" in
/Library/Receipts
You can try to open that folder and delete the iMovie
receipts.
There are no iMovie receipts in /Library/Receipts. The only packages there are
JavaSecurityUpdate4.pkg
PantherJavaStartup.pkg
SecUpd2005-002Pan.pkg
SecUpd2005-005Pan.pkg
SecUpd2005-006Pan.pkg
SecUpd2005-007Pan.pkg
SecUpd2005-008Pan.pkg
SecurityUpdate2004-10-27Pan.pkg
Does the error message say anything about where (in
which folder) it doesn't find any valid packages?
No, it was just in reply to applying the "Verify Permissions" test to the HD.
This may be of interest:
http://www.macosx.com/content/faq.php/q684/Verify-Or-R
epair-Disk-Permissions.html
Yes, interesting. Like the person posting the initial question "Verify-Or-Repair-Disk-Permissions," I also do not have BaseSystem.pkg in /Library/Receipts. And I did a clean install of OS 10.3.9 just 2 days ago!
The BaseSystem.pkg still resides in /Library/Receipts of the system I archived on an external drive prior to most recent reinstallation of the OS. Is it recommended that I copy that into the /Library/Receipts folder on my internal HD?--Mike

How to uninstall/reinstall iMovie

I just "upgraded" to iMovie 7.1.1 today and it the program all but totally collapsed. It will still open, slowly, but even though a project is active the Project library shows empty, the event and project windows are sometimes filled correctly and sometimes not, and regardless of that the whole thing has slowed to a jerky crawl.
In short iMovie is, well, I'd say it's toast, but I have Toast and at least it works.
I am in the middle of a project in iMovie '08 which I need to finish. I'd love nothing more than to roll back the clock and slap myself in the face just before I clicked on the OK button to update the software, but that isn't going to happen, so what can I do to un-do what I've done? I tried reinstalling the "bundled software" that came with my OEM OS X Tiger discs and that didn't work (I'm actually running 10.5.1). So my question is: How do I uninstall and then reinstall just iMovie?
Thanks in advance.
-John

Thanks for the reply, yes, I did try to repair the permissions, in fact I have run permission repair three times now and when I get home I'll see if it needs to be run again since it seems to come up with additional issues each time I run it, suggesting to me that there are layered permission problems. Whether that has anything to do with the current iMovie issue or not has yet to be proven.
In regard to your reply to Irb07 about Quicktime, I have not received the same error messages about QT, however the update that I installed contained updates to several packages, iMovie and Quicktime were two of them.
So far none of my permission repairing has made a difference in iMovie, it still doesn't work although it will partially load. I'll keep repairing and see what happens, but in case that doesn't work...
Is there a way to actually uninstall and then reinstall iMovie? iLife came packaged on the OEM Tiger disc set with my machine, but it does not appear to allow me to selectively install specific programs, nor does it allow me to remove any.
Can this be done?
Thanks.
-John

Im having iMovie errors, anyone else?

Audio mute error, import audio from third party app, error, the library view doesn't show complete camera roll & more.

Thanks for the suggestion...
I just got back from the Apple Store for the second visit with the Mac Genius to try to resolve the problem.
First visit we trashed the iMovie 11 application and reinstalled iMovie and ran a software update. Upon relaunching we were pleased that all projects and events ran perfectly from both the HD and the Drobo.
After lugging my 27" iMac back home and restarting it the same problem appeared. I returned to the Apple store for a second visit. This time I left the iMac at the store overnight. The apple service guys were able to duplicate the problem and wiped my hard drive. There appears to be a bug with iMovie 11 (not confirmed) and an elevated report was submitted to Apple engineers.
I am leaving my "old" projects and events on the external drive unless I need to import them. I am not going to restore from back up and will use a "clean" version of iMovie11. No guarantees the problem won't come back. This issue consumed a TON of my time.... hopefully Apple can fix iMove11.

Reinstalling iMovie 4

When trying to reinstall iMovie 4 from iLife CD the error message says the installation can not be made because Garage Band, iDVD, iMovie or iPhoto is running.
Another time when this happened I just erased the HD and started over.
Am in my 8th decade and am retired...so who cares? I have the time.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Like to say that it will be better the next time...but I know better.
eMac PowerPC G4 (3.3) Mac OS X (10.3.9) it's junk

This nonsense is infringing on happy hour. (I'll make up for it.) Are you the Sue in The Field Museum Of Natural History on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago?
You only get part of a star.
Suppose you should have the whole star...iMovie was reinstalled.
Was able to reinstall iMovie 4...but...when attempting to open iMovie was advised that the application was damaged.. or some such drivel.
Only iMovie was selected for reinstallation.
Have a self portrait to attach to these missives as soon as I can figure how to do it.
Thanks Sue, for your time and help.
Don't feel bad. When I get new bells and whistles for my Macs, I cut a hole in the bell and put the clapper in the whistle. Then when I correct that, I try to ring the whistle and blow the bell

IMovie Error 49 and Error 108 solution

Hi everyone
I had the well known problem of exporting films from iMovie 11 on my Retine MacBook - three films of 34min, 44min and 67min length - three parts of a trip to Indian ocean. It took some time to solve the problems and I am grateful for the solutions suggested in this forum, but also for support of my son who works on a MacBook too. Firstly, I can say that the authorised really Apple Support couldn't help me. I spent in the Apple Genius Bar over one hour, and they were not able to find solution to my problem. Secondly, the Apple Online support suggested to reinstall iMovie, which didn't help at all. They also wanted me to reinstall the whole MacBook which I refused, because I was aware that other people referred, that this had no effect either. I also tried to export the films from another Retina MacBook and then an older MacBook - both with same iMovie 11 program. However, the same error message came up there too.
So what did really help?
First, iMovie doesn't like to have multiple projects opened. I reduced them to only one project in iMovie and then started to export, that means the error -49 didn't occur anymore. (I have 8GB RAM - only a half of it is used, and 500 GB SSD, but only 250 GB used - so it could not be a memory problem).
After one hour of exporting or more, the program couldn't complete the export and displayed error 108. In this case, I managed to fix it by disabling automatic local backup mechanism (typing command 'sudo tmutil disablelocal' on terminal window), but it workedo for the 34min and the 67min films only.
The 44min film still didn't work. Maybe because I used more titles in the sequences or French alphabet signs like 'é'. I dont know. I solved it by splitting the film into two 22min sequences and exported them succesfully. Then I took the 2 sequences as 2 events for a new project and re-exported them - this time succesfully.
I hope this research will help you to solve the problems of exporting films from iMovie.
Good luck
caneos

Just to explain why:
The iMovie files are being written to backup by Time Machine. Due the files being in use by another process, iMovie can't finish the processes that it began.
Turning off Time Machine or allowing several minutes to hours to complete the TM write will cease the error.
There is also a Terminal method to turn off Local Snapshots:

How to fix 'Unexpected error: Incorrect value: Location URL' in WSDL

Hi All,
Using SOAMANAGER transaction, I created a service ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC and its binding 'ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC_binding' using the Create Service option under the tab Configurations and using the web service definition 'ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC'. When I click on the link "Open WSDL document for selected binding" under the tab 'Overview', I get the following XML code in the popup window for the WSDL.

Hello.
In SOAMANAGER delete your "unexpected" service (endpoint).
Then create it again.
If same error will occurs - try to delete all definitions of this service (include sicf-transaction) and then create it completely again.
Hope it helps.

NW 7.01 upgrade to 7.3 (BW) - Error: Unknown language short name Z2

Hello,
While upgrading a BW system to NW 7.3, in phase PREP_CONFIGURATION/LANG_SELECT I get the error:
Unknown language short name 'Z2'
and the upgrade cannot continue. The Z2 language is supplemented with English and is working properly in the system.
It is only used so that some BI reports to be presented in that language. It is not a correspodence language. Simulation in transaction i18n reports no errors.
Since no objects are translated in this language, I also thought to remove the language during the upgrade and import it after.
However, even this approach was not possible, since I do not get any screen in the upgrade GUI in order to be able to remove Z2 language. Also searched for Notes and in SDN, but no one seems to have faced such an issue.
The system is a standalone development NW 7.01 SPS 8 in Windows 2008 R2 SP1 with SQL 2008 R2 SP1.
Any help or ideas appreciated.
Thank you,
George.

Hi Sunny,
I do not have any translations to save. Nevertheless, I exported the language before starting the upgrade with SMLT_EX.
I get the error and the upgrade stops. I do not get any screen to remove the language.
Regards,
George.

HT1926 Have the same problem as many other users: tried to update iTunes on Windows 7 today; first message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 1

I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Multi-value parameter report - error : Incorrect syntax near ',' with multi-valued parameter in SSRS

Hey,
I created a report in Reporting Services where I added multi-value parameter
( Filter). When I run my report, and try to select more than one parameter, I get an error: Incorrect syntax near ','
then i put in parameter expression : join(Parameters!Filter.Value,",")
and add : dbo.ufnSplit before calling parameter in query :
>>> set @valwhere = 'table.field IN (select * from dbo.ufnSplit(' + @Filter + ' , '',''))'
but i still have errors : incorrect syntax near 'text' which is the second value of the picklist of the parameter,
Please Any idea ?
Thanks !!

I have sometimes had to collate as default with the SQL query
currently I've just using
CompanyName in
(selectitemfromdbo.fnSplit(@function,','))
In the SSRS report text box I have Join(Parameters!Company.Value,",")
