Stuck on "updating Aperture Videos event"

Starting iMovie 11 for the first time, it's stuck infinitely on "updating Aperture Videos Event".
Can't get past it. Note: I don't store any movies in Aperture so there should be nothing to find.
How do I get past this?
Regards,
Peter G

This problem has been going on now since Ilife 11 was shipped, We are waiting for an exact fix from Apple . Meanwhile just to confirm its the same bug on all systems, suggest you copy the
responce from the console app as soon as you see the Aperture video flag.
It should look like this 31/10/10 17:27:47 iMovie[3176] ILLogger ILAperture31Plugin: ** Error in _loadDataThreaded: * -[NSCFSet addObject:]: attempt to insert nil **
Apple support have been informed under seperate advice......We await their investigations.

  • After some updates, Aperture stops recognizing previously imported files, and rewrites video metadata dates.  How do I keep the from occurring?

    I have been using Aperture since version 1 (to now, 3.x.x), and after some updates Aperture fails to recognize the files previously imported.  I have checked the selection box that says "Do not import duplicates" every time I import.  I have pics and videos dating back to 2001 in the Aperture dB.  Videos were imported once Ap started to support it.  (Well, the initial support was really bad...)  Anyway, those earlier video files all have the same date - now - thanks to Aperture changing the dates to 3/24/00.  The funny thing is, Aperture will not let me manually correct the dates.  To me, it seems that after every major update, the dB gets "reset" and forgets files already imported.  I'm not saying pics/vids imported in the last month, but say six months to five years or more.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
    I do not think this matters, hoever, my Ap is set up with referenced original on an external drive.
    Thank you!

    WOW!
    I'm REALLY impressed by your exhaustive and detailled description!
    How long did it take to write? Sure longer than the import itself...
    Thank you so much. I got a working import of Ap2 lib before but your description have me various hints for handling problematic or faulty projects.

  • Imovie hangs on opening at Aperture videos.

    I am still using iMovie 9.09 because the new version  (10) does not sort videos by date.  It hangs on opening however every time it gets to aperture videos regardless of the fact that I don't have any in there.  It also won't even let me force quit! Help!!

    Yeah Me too. However I got there in a strange way. I was recording one more(thin mint) voice over and when I finished ( 6 seconds) the little beach ball from **** came on and kept kicking sand in my face for 4 hours before i realized i got eaten by the imovie shark.
    I called the genious bar to set up an appointment and basically found no geniuses willing to belly up to the bar ( 2 stores). I then called appl care and what it finally came down to is messing around inside the package files eliminating one additional event at a time and seeing if i can even get imovie to open up that project again.
    One thing Imovie should have that I have commended Microsoft on for years is the "backup to here every 5 minutes". What would be better is back up rotationally up to 20 copies. At any rate I am stuck with the beach ball as booby prize. THat one project will not open up.
    Does anyone havea succinct and comprehensive understanding of the way imovie projects are structured on disk? I am working now at the level of opening up the project properties list and poking around the arcane maundering in there ensuring all of the relevant pieces are pointing to files that exist. Other than nothing -- Apple has been of little help in doing the following
    1 Telling me which files i can safely delete and which should regenerate from first causes
    2 Telling me what all the various files do and what they should look like ( yeah i know its an apple just poke the do what i mean button)
    3 Explaining to me why I can see every clip that goes into that movie, but why I movie wont let me frankenstein it together with some kind of imovie property editor.
    4 Concisely providing a layout and explanation of the structure of an imovie project ( Oh yeah i remember - Those arent the files im looking for -- move along ...)

  • I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

    I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

  • Im stuck on "Updating Photo Library" why

    I install the App two weeks ago. I tried to install and reinstall and restart phone etc etc. It is always stuck on "Updating Photo Library"
    The App has never opened?? can I get a refund?
    Steve

    When iPhoto is stuck on updating iPhoto library, it usually means, that there is a problem with photo in your camera roll or albums created in the Photos app.
    When you launch iPhoto the first time, it tries to collect all albums, photo stream, photos in the camera roll and builds an iPhoto library from this.  If you only are seeing an empty library, the problem is probably with the Photos.app and not with iPhoto, i.e., since reinstalling iPhoto did not help. Either one of the photos or videos in your camera roll or photo stream is unreadable, or there is a problem with the albums in the photos.app.
    You could try if saving all photos to a computer and deleting all photos from the iPhone will solve this, or you could backup the contents of the iPhone to iTunes and restore the iPhone to factory settings. See:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Unfortunately can the Photos.app not be reinstalled on its own, since it is comes as part of the operating system installation.

  • HT6012 While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  Any suggestions?

    While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  I know there are previous projects and events, and they definitely have not been updated because they do not show up in my iMovie'11 library, events, or projects.  Any suggestions?

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

  • Video Event Completed Problem

    CS6 Flash Player (IE: 11,8,800,94 installed) and (Chrome: 11,8,800,97 installed)
    Just started happening where my fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE is not working. It is proving to be inconsistent. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. I've tried a number of ways and still having problems. Some of the videos I am using are older and I've recompiled them with CS6 Encoder... that helped a little. Replaced the FLVPlayback component from 2.1 to 2.5... that helped a little. Rearranged my Listener in the code... that helped a little.
    I'm thinking there has been something happen to the Flash Player and am wandering if anyone else has been having this experience? This has been going on for two weeks now.
    Some of these courses I've been experiencing are older ones. I've updated the fla to CS6, made all the events for video as fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE. Used the import fl.video.VideoEvent.
    SAMPLE: Just this morning changed the function from (e:fl.video.VideoEvent) to (e:Event), this sometimes helps as well.
    OnscreenVideo.source = MovieClip(root).mediaFolder + "FS_BLY_aii_14c.flv";
    OnscreenVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.READY, VidReady14c);
    OnscreenVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoStopped14c);
    function VideoStopped14c(e:Event):void{
    trace("VideoStopped14c: ", OnscreenVideo.source);
    OnscreenVideo.removeEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoStopped14c);
    OnscreenVideo.removeEventListener(fl.video.MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cpCuePoint14c);
    OnscreenVideo.visible = false;
    }//end function VideoStopped14c
    THANKS for your time!!!!

    Sinious, you gave me the idea when you mentioned the timer event to check another type of Video Event, STATE_CHANGED. In setting this up I noticed when a video got to the end it was buffering and seeking. Also I failed to mention that the videos are running from a CDN server and using a URL for streaming.
    Also I noticed that sometimes the video would not complete but the COMPLETE event would fire and then move on to my next frame. This must be a problem in the way video records the time perhaps?
    My solution to the fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE: This has been firing correctly on the videos I have tested.
    theVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoStopped20);
    REPLACED WITH:
    theVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, VideoStopped20);
    function VideoStopped20(e:fl.video.VideoEvent):void{
              if(e.currentTarget.playheadPercentage > 99.9){
                             theVideo.removeEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, VideoStopped20);
                             trace("VideoStopped20: ", theVideo.source);
            // Do Something
              }//end if
    }//end function VideoStopped20
    THANKS Sinious, the light appeared after reading your post.

  • Can I copy clips from one project to another?  The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

    Can I copy clips from one project to another?  The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event.  I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

    The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events.  I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills.  ABout 50 of them,  When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
    I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them.  So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it.  (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff).  Seems to work so far.
    So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else.  Do you know a way around this?

  • When I update a recurring event on my iPhone, it does not make changes to the calendar in ical or icloud.  Is anyone else having this issue?

    Updating a recurring event on my iPhone does not update the event in either ical or icloud.  If I add a new event on the iPhone it updates right away.  Is this a known problem?  Should I get rid of the recurring event and just make changes day to day manually?  I like having the recurring event set for my work schedule because it rarely changes, but when it does, I'd like to use my iPhone for the updates instead of carrying around my MAC Book all the time.
    Thank you!

    After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

  • Add fields to maintenance view and update then using events

    Hi experts:
      I've created a table with 4 fields, one of them is userid. Also, there is a maintenance view to add new entries.
      I want to display user name when typing userid using events (1 or 21). I know how to do it if username is one of the fields of the table, but there is a requirement to not store username in the table, just userid.
    My question is: is possible to add a field into the maintenance view and update it using events but not store the value in DB?.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Carlos.

    In the save event just clear the entries of the field(user name) in the internal table.

  • I have updated to IOS 6, the App store won't work, is stuck in update mode for 1 day and the battery now goes flat in 3 hrs without use. Can I go back to IOS 5?

    Hi, I was forced to upgrade to IOS 6 due to a restore.
    Since the upgrade, I have lost information, the App store is stuck in update mode, my battery drains in hours and many more problems.
    Is there a way to go back to the VERY RELIABLE IOS 5? This phone is nearly useless now.
    Thanks

    Just FYI - the situation is resolved.  I downloaded the new snow leopard 10.6.8 update for safari and now itunes works.  I have no idea what that has to do with anything - but I saw it on another forum and it actually worked.

  • Is it necessary to update Aperture 3.4 to 3.5 when you update to Mavs?

    Is it necessary to update Aperture 3.4 to 3.5 when you update to Mavs? Or does it work just the same? I have filters (Color Efex Pro) I don't want to lose with the update to 3.5.
    Thanks fellas!
    Dante

    It depends, on what else you want to use. If you have iPhones or iPads on IOS 7, the shared Photo Streams are not compatible with Aperture 3.4.
    Also, if you are using iPhoto with your Aperture libraries, take care not to upgrade iPhoto beyond 9.4.3, or idon't open your Aperture library in iPhoto, else you will not be able to open it in Aperture any longer.
