Third attempt: iMovie won't allow me to import a movie Project from my old iMovieHD. Solution?

My old iMovieHD doesn't work anymore, so I downloaded the latest iMovie. But I can't download the film project I was working on in the old iMovieHD app. Has anyone experience with this problem?

Hi
I think a bit more explaining might be of interest: If not just skipp it.
iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one program in evolution. HD6 has INTEL savy code - so it runns on modern Macs too.
iMovie'08 (version 7.0.x) to iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x) - A totally different thing - WRONGLY NAMED as iMovie.
Working in a totally different way = no connection back to iM 1 - 6
iMovie'13 version 10.0.x - Have no idea what this can or can not do or if it is related to iM 08 - 11. May be.
So best thing You can do is to repair the old iMovie (hopefully HD6)
else You can retrieve the original material and re-do the movie in Video editor of choise iMovie'08 - 13 or FinalCut.
Yours Bengt W

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

TS3695 Imovie will not allow me to export my movie to Vimeo?

Imovie will not allow me to export my movie to Vimeo because it is bigger than 500mb even though I have Vimeo Plus! Is there any solution?

don't think so...I just posted the same question...seems to be a major glitch on Apple's part

HT3209 My Computer supports all of the requirements, plus I use Apple TV, iPhone4s, and the New iPad (dumb name by the way) and it still won't allow me to download HD Movies. What is wrong with this picture?

Why is that my PC supports all of the requirements for HD video but iTunes won't allow me to Download HD Movie. I am able to handle some of the most intense PC Games and I have HD movies Downloaded from previous versions of iTunes that work just fine. This is just stupid that iTunes thinks it knows my Computer's capibilities better than I do. Is there a way to change it?

Hi,
At the top of any Buddy List it will show Your Name or your Handle (Screen Name)
This can be changed if you click on what is shown currently and it will become a drop down.
Pic
The "Name" is taken from the Mac User Account that is logged in and the My Card in that Address Book.
So if this is your New Macbook Pro then Open the Address Book (Presumably there is only one Mac User account on this computer at the moment) and find the My Card (Head and Shoulders iCon)
Make sure the details are yours.
If the details are your brother's (Migrated info ?) then find your card and then go to the Card Menu and the option "Make this My Card".
When Adding and @mac.com name to iChat 6.x the server for the AIM login should read api.oscar.aol.com
The port likes to be port 443 with SSL ON (See Sever Settings tab in iChat > Preferences > Accounts)
Try it without SSL
NOTE: Despite the Add screen saying @Mac.com the account can get listed in the Accounts List as a MobileMe account.
I would check that the original computer or the current one is not set to allow only one Login.

Hi I have upgraded my gb on my iPad to 25 gb and it says I have 20.2gb available but it won't allow me to download a movie why is this?

Hi I have upgraded my gobs on my iPad to 25 gb and it says I have 20.2 gb available but it won't allow me to download a movie why is that? And can anyone help please?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have upgraded iCloud storage, but what you need is free space on the iPad storage to download the movie, so open Settings > General > Use, and remove things from your iPad until you have enough storage to download the movie.
Respecting to iCloud, you can get a refund if you contact with Apple > http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact It is a common mistake by users

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

IMovie 08 hangs while trying to import iPhoto movies at the start.

Hi guys,
When I open Imovie 08, it asks me to import iphoto movies. Then it stays there for ages and never ends importing those movies. I know I can just skip this process but I want to edit those videos from iPhoto.
I guess is some corrupted file it is trying to import what is causing this incident but I have no idea how to tell which is the "bad" file since iMovie doesn't give any information about it.
Any clues?
Thanks in advence

Hi,
I wouldn't say I have such a lot of movies in Iphoto but deffintely they are quite a few... anyway, I suspect it will never end because the timer gets bigger and bigger; and yes I left it running overnight with no luck.
Is there any way to see in which video is iMovie having the problem? The other workarround means having to backup and delete videos randomly until I find "the bad one".
Cheers.

I have a problem with Imovie. Just brought an macbook 15 retina , iLife install and Imovie was working. I than did a data migration from my old macbook pro and now it crashes on start up. I tried to re-install from app store but no option to re-install

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

I can't import any movies/files from my desktop to make an iMovie

I can't import any movies/files from my desktop to make an iMovie. It worked a few days ago and now I can't do anything. Also, is there a way to get rid of all the movie files that I don't need anymore? Thanks!

IMovie won't allow me to do ANYTHING.

So, a couple of hours ago I was editing a video (which was taking over an hour to create) when I received messages every 20 seconds telling me how something could not import because it was having problems, even though at the moment, I was not importing anything nor editing. Then it said it had to force-quit to prevent anything in my project from being lost.
My only option was to continue so I did so. I decided to restart my computer and check it again.
I checked it 3 times after restarting and it would not let me: import, view my project (which probably doesn't exist anymore) or view any of my other projects when it said I had two but none showed on the screen.
I waiting, restarted again, getting anxious. So I updated it (Update from January 23), in hopes of recovery.
Hour later, still same issues. I have no clue what to do and i I can even USE iMovie ever again.
ANYTHING would be helpful.
Thank you

IMovie will not allow me to import photos from iPhoto

the media button in imovie that suppose to let me import photos and music is not active and will not allow me to get anything, but if i check iphoto by itself it shows me everything i got. Please help i really need to get this project done by this week!
Thanks In Advance

You'll have to go this route:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

ITunes won't allow me to purchase HD movie

I just bought an ipad 2 (which is compatible with HD movie right?) and i want to buy my sister's favorite movies "Tangled" and "Toy Story 3" in HD so i can transfer those to my iPhone and iPad.
but my monitor isn't HD monitor yet, and iTunes won't allow me to buy the HD movie anymore
it kinda strange because i've bought some HD movie before, but now it says:
"This cannot be purchased in HD on this computer
To buy or rent this in HD, your computer and display must both support HDCP"
is there a way for me to buy those movies in HD without having to buy a new HD monitor or purchase it on my iPad ? because my pc has faster connection speed than my iPad.

Apple does not provide support in these forums. Everyone who replies, with extremely rare exceptions, is just a fellow user.
There are several different possible issues presented in this thread, so it's difficult to provide any ideas or suggestions since I can't tell which of the "same problems" you actually have. I'd suggest you start a new discussion detailing your exact issue, setup, country, software versions, etc. and perhaps someone can offer such advice.

How do you import movie projects from Facebook into iMovie on an iMac?

I have an edited movie project that was 17 mins long on my mini iPad. Because it was over 15 mins long I couldn't share it into iMovie theatre on my mini iPad. So my father suggested to share it to Facebook where (we thought) we could download it from there into iMovie on my iMac. But it didn't work. I put the link onto to my desktop, and from there, I tried to to add the link into an iMovie video tab but a little window cam up and said(and I quote): "This file will not be imported. It is not compatible with iMovie."
So...
HELP!
HOW DO YOU MAKE MY MOVIE PROJECT COMPATIBLE WITH IMOVIE?????

Thanks for getting back with me so promptly. It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video. The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport. He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99. He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later. He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
Thanks again!
