Split Event Problems

I would be very grateful if I could get some help. I am trying to split an event. I followed the help videos and selected a frame, went to file and tried to select "Split Event Before Selected Clip". However, it is always grayed out and thus I can't select. can anyway give some guidance on what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

Two things to try.
1) Make sure the event is selected in the Event Source List (I think it will be in blue if it is selected.) Sometimes the Project will have the focus, not the event.
2) Right click on the clip after the split point and Select the Entire Clip.
Now try to split before the selected clip.

IPhoto '11 v. 9.2.3 bug when splitting events containing flagged and duplicate versions of same photo in Event.

UPDATE:
Okay, I don't know how to delete this - so I'm just saying that after sending this, I found Terrance's reply to a similar post (3/3/12). I didn't realize iPhoto had been changed so that the "master" controls duplicates. I do understand how to export, et cetera .... and I do use albums also! I just really want the duplicate photos to NOT be in the general Events. Trust me, I have a good reason!
Thank you for your (previous) help!

Okay, when I created this User Name, I didn't foresee this situation. I'm pretty sure this is a real bug - and maybe someone can let the appropriate programmer know....
Essentially, I'm organizing my 2012 iPhoto library and am trying to get around the rule that a photo can only be in one Event. I flagged the photos I want to keep where they are - AND - be grouped separately.
Then in Flagged, I duplicated all. Then I unflag the orginal files.
Then I modified the duplicated (version 2 or version 3) files.
So, in the original events, there are the two versions of some photos.
Opening one of the events, I select a couple of photos and "split".
Split event does get created, but it has no photos.
Photos and duplicated photos remain in original event.
I'm quitting now - before I lose everything.....!
(I'll back up the library and try again later.........!)
and jsut for the fn of it, I'm adding that I find it strange that I'd have to manually click "abc-check" -- that spellcheck doesn't run automatically. --I guess it annoys others?

First Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that doesn't help apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Splitting event in imovie

I am attempting to split an event as per the imovie help menu. However, when I choose file after clicking on the clip that I want to become the first clip of the new event, "Split event before selected clip" is greyed out - not an option. What am I missing?

Are you selecting the first clip in the Event window? If so, that is why the menu option is grayed out. Try selecting any other clip and see if the option becomes active. If so, then the application is working properly and your work flow is at fault (i.e., need to know what you are really trying to do here). If not, then you may have a problem in your installation of iMovie '08 or some sort of corruption in clips or clip references.

Split event is grayed out

I have followed the iMovie '08 Help on how to Split an Event into two and each time I've highlighted the clip that I want to be first and go to FILE, the Split Event before Selected clip is grayed out! What am I doing wrong?
I wanted to show screen shots of the problem but can't add attachments.

I am having the same problem, have you figured out the solution? My movie got too big and keeps shutting down the program so I really need to split the event but don't want to lose all of my hard work! Please anyone help!

Why won't "Split events before selected clip" work?

In IMovie'11, when I select a clip from an event and want to split it, I go to File, and the option "Split events before selected clip" is not highlighted, so I cannot do that task! Has anyone else had that problem? In fact if I select a clip in an event and go to Edit, and to the option "Split event" it also is not hightlighted so I cannot do that either! This is very frustrating as I am trying to organize my videos in order to burn them to a DVD.

Oops sorry - I'm new to iMovie, except for a short one I did a couple years back from stills. I only take the occasional one with my p&s camera - so it's mp4's - but now I've got a project I want to do for my son and his band. So, another learning curve
Yes I've been trying to split clips in the events browser. And sometimes the "split event" option come up black, but most times it's greyed out. Sometimes I even get the black and greyed-out in different places within the same event. I can't find any logic behind it, it appears to be random.
I haven't come across anything called "the timeline" - so don't know what that is. I searched it just now in iMovie but nothing came up.

When I plug my Ipad2 to my Imac, it does not sync all my photos from my Itunes library. It also splits events and picks what it wants to sync. How do I get all my photos to sync with Ipad2?

When I sync my Ipad2 with my Imac, it does not sync all the photos. It seems to pick & choose what it wants to sync and also splits events. How can I set it to sync all photos so both libraries are the same?

Can't help you with the sync problem but the splitting of events was supposedly fixed with the iPhoto 9.1.3 updater.
This is from the download page:
This update fixes a problem that could cause some events merged in iPhoto to be split back into multiple events on iOS devices after being synced.
So update iPhoto to 9.1.3 and re-sync. If you already have updated to that version then I'm at a loss.

Can't Split Events

I've noticed several post about the inability to split events in iMovie '08. I've yet to find a proper solution. Several users have posted work-a-rounds but that doesn't seem right. If the feature is there why can't we use it? I'm importing multiple different events from a single VHS tape and it would be extremely beneficial to have a simple way to split the imported video. Any ideas?

wohoooo.. a Terminal guy, a Unix-man!
Absolutely a Unix man! I dabbled in Solaris and Linux before (at school), and was a huge fan of NeXT before it did a reverse-takeover of Apple , which made me an Apple fan by default. Don't get me wrong, I adore the UI, but having the Terminal with the UNIX standard command makes my old Unix knowledge still very useful..
I NEVER touch the Terminal, I'm an Apple User since '86, I prefer GUI ... and use a context-menu add-on to create symLinks by a mouse-click .. using that for the 'trick' to use ext. drives as location for iM Project library.. (discribed on my site. http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/im08tricks ) ... but cross-account-linking.. ? hmmm, isn't that a 'bit' beyond concept of a multiuser OS...? ok, that's a philosophical question..
You might get thrown by the owner of that symlink - the owner of /Accounts is admin, so I did the hacking from the admin account. /Volumes/Accounts/jgatica is still owned and writable by the jgatica account, that's where it matters. I do this so I could blow away the boot partition and still have my entire account after rebuilding the boot partition (I used to fool around with prerelease OSes when I had an Apple ADC account). I am not worried that the jgatica account cannot delete the symlink, it's probably better that way anyway. In any event, this has worked for me for ages, so I left it like it is.
Thanks for your iMovie link! Nice to have some power-user tips for iMovie.
to tell Apple (they don't read here...), tell direct:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html
Thanks for the feedback link, I'll give them a note. So, in your case, you just transplanted the project directory /Accounts/{account}/Movies/iMovie Projects, and pointing to an external drive with a symlink? OK, that sounds like much the same scenario that I have... other than the symlink problem, it sure would be nice if iMovie had a preference to where to put its database..

Unable to "Split Event before selected clip"

First... I've read the other two threads that I could find by searching these forums and the recommendations there didn't help.
I have several large DV (avi) files that I imported previously from a camera. I imported them (one at a time) into iMovie 08 - each tape/avi file as a separate "event". As you can probably guess, the tapes/event were all imported as a single large clip each. I then split the large clips into separate clips by removing/rejecting a small amount of video between clips that I wanted to separate.
So far so good. Now I have 1 event for each 'tape' still and a bunch of separate clips within each 'event'. Now what I want to do is separate out each of the individual clips into separate events.
I've selected many different clips (the first, the last, several in between...) by right-clicking and selecting "select entire clip" (which it does) but the File>Split Event Before Selected Clip menu item is ALWAYS grayed out and will not let me do it.
Why?
I imported some new video (AVCHD) from a new canon hf10 and it allowed me to use this functionality just fine.
Is there something about the avi/dv file format that won't allow you to split events into multiple events?
From everything I've read, this appears to be a bug in iMovie 08 as everything seems to point to this supposedly working when doing what I've done here...
HELP!
TIA.

Believe the problem is caused by you trying to split a single clip into two events, all work done in imovie is non destructive.
I suspect the easiest workaround would be to split the event clip in QT.

Can you turn off optimization while splitting events?

I want to move all my many thousands of iPhoto clips down to intermix with my other clips stored on an external drive. All seemed well, I drug them down like the apple tech told me to, but they appeared in a single event, which is bad enough, and the sound is missing, which also *****, but I've found that if I split the EVENTS back into their original date periods the sound comes back. (And I have to do that anyway so they will sort/intermix properly in the event area anyway which was my original goal.)
The PROBLEM is that every time I choose "split event before clip", it takes a minute or so for imovie to OPTIMIZE MOVIES after splitting the event. Since I'm really not planning on doing anything other than splitting these **** events for the next month or so, is there any way to turn that feature off for a while?
For that matter is there any way to speed this process up? Any way at all? All the movies are still in iPhoto, if there was a better way to do it I would. I would just export them and import them directly, but then I lose all the original dates (Though I'm starting to wonder if that would be faster.) I would be willing to buy external software if that would help.
And yes, I realize I could just drag them all down event by event, but that would take longer, because I believe I have to first create an event to drag them into. If that is incorrect let me know. But at least on my computer, creating the event takes just as long as splitting the event, so this method saves me half the time.
It seems like there has got to be a better way to do this.
Or is there any way to split at multiple points?

Flip the mute switch.

Splitting events

When i attempt to split an event, (split event before selected clip) it seems work and a new event is listed for a moment then disappears, leaving me with an apparently unsplit event where i started

Yours must be broken.
Mine works fine.
Maybe you need Mac Store help.

Split Events

so- splitting events is supposed to be as easy as clicking a clip in the event, and selecting "split clip" from the edit menu. this option is grayed out. what am i missing?

To split Events that you brought in from tape:
1) In iMovie/Preferences, make sure there is a check mark next to Display Time as HH:MM:SS:Frames
2) It helps to move the Thumbnail Slider at the bottom of the Event pand all the way to the left (1/2 second per thumbnail)
3) Select 1 Frame that is at the point where you want to split the events. Select the 1 frame so that the yellow border is around it. Right-click (or control click) and select Reject Selection.
4) At the bottom of the event pane, select the View that says "Rejected Clips only". You should see your 1 frame. Press the button at the top right of the Event Pane that says "Move Rejected Clips to Trash" and let it percolate.
5) Now, you have two clips. Select the second clip. Now choose FILE/SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP

IMovie 11 Splitting Events!!

How could this software not allow me to split EVENTS!! I want an event to be split not the project.. Any advice???

Use the Edit/Split Clip command to split events. Events can be split between two clips.
If you need to split in the middle of a long clip, I recommend using MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 to split the clip.
It is possible to split a long clip in iMovie, but it takes longer and is prone to system crashes.

Sun Fire V490 x 2 servers with Oracle RAC facing Split brain problem

Hi all,
I have Sun Fire V490 x 2 servers with Oracle RAC and they faced a Split brain problem. One of the node's database instance has gone down, The DBA claims it is due to network problem, but as such the networks are OK. We use the on board CE1 interface for Cluster interconnect and CE0 as the public interface.
Did anybody face this kind of a problem? Could this be a hardware/OS patch problem?
I had kept a continuous ping for 24 hours after this happened last time and the output shows no packet loss
Many thanks in advance.
Ushas Symon

In order to diagnose this properly, you'll need to provide too much detail and far too many log files for a generic discussion forum to handle.
Use your service contract and open a support case.
Because a cluster environment is involved you'll likely end up talking to the cluster support staff.
They can analyze hardware and software errors as well as review whether you configured the systems in a supportable fashion.
Be prepared to make a direct connection to each system and gather data using such as by using the Explorer tool. The technical support staff will tell you what they will actually need.

Split Brain Problem

Dear All,
RAC Database Version is 10.2.0.3, and Operating System is SPARC5.10.
The Database use Veritas Sun Cluster.
Voting Disk Size = 10MB
Yesterday, it experienced Split Brain Problem. Each Node Assumes it is the only surviving member of the cluster.
At first, Node 1 became hung and the network link was broken, then our system admin decided to restart the server.
After that, Node 2 Work Load increased significantly, and there was nothing we can do in database.
Fortunately, Veritas Team could handle it, by cleaning the process that was hung.
In my opinion, interconnect communication between node1 and node2 was broken, then each node assumes that it is the only member of the cluster.
To prevent Database Corruption, Veritas Cluster blocked every changes to database.
So, Would you tell me what is actually happened,
was It Related to Heartbeat to Controlfile, considering there was ORA-600 [2103] ?
Best Regards,
abip

InputField fire event problem in webDynpro

I have one validation or Fire Event problem with respect to Inputfield in web Dynpro.
I have one Input filed and created the context varible for that, then i mapped the context varible to the InputField, and i changed the context varible type as date.So , when i run the view , it will show the calender near to the text box to select the perticular date. On select of the perticular date. It will populate selected date in to the inputField.
On selection of the perticular date. Based on the date i want to generate the next 12 months date at runtime in different text boxes. But the only event available for the InputField is only "onEnter". This is not useful in my case, bcz on selection of the Date , the user may not use the Enter key. so , how can use the other events like onSelection or onChange events in the InputFields to reach my needs.
Any one give me the idea to solve this problem.
