This version of iMovie cannot import Trailers created in iMovie for iOS.

I have the latest verison of iMovie on both my Mac and iPad 3g. I used a trailer on the iPad iMovie and exported it to iTunes. On my Mac I went to iTunes and pulled the file down and clicked to open it. After iMovie can up it dispalyed "This version of iMovie cannot import Trailers created in iMovie for iOS."
How can this be?

I'm having the same problem. I've check the instructions for exporting a Movie trailer that can be found in iMovie for iOS 6 and have followed them to a tee, numerous times. Each time i export a trailer i've created using the iPad, i can easily save it to my MacBookPro. But iMove on my laptop refuses to import a movie with the suffix ".iMoveTrailer", which is what you get in iMove for iOS6 when you export and use iTunes in Mac OS to save the file. How strange? There must be someting wrong going on here. Anyoner have any thoughts? I'm just trying to save an iMove trailer from the iPad and would like to burn it to a DVD to give to friends. Hmmmm.....

Mac OS X Server 4.1, Xcode 6.3.1 "This version of Xcode cannot be used with this server"

I'm utterly confused.
The documentation for Mac OS X Server (from https://help.apple.com/serverapp/mac/4.0/#/apdA154F061-7CE4-4A58-843D-DC2CE3A1AE 8C ) shows that Xcode 6 or later (my emphasis). I have installed Mac OS X 10.10.3, Mac OS X Server 4.1, Xcode 6.3.1. I have no apps in the App Store's "Update" tab that need to be updated (just now double-checked). I clicked to the Xcode tab under "Services" in OS X Server, clicked the "Choose Xcode…" button, selected the version of Xcode from the Applications folder on the root HDD, and got the error message "This version of Xcode cannot be used with OS X Server."
So .... now what?

Well, for some reason it just started working. I was busy trying to fix another issue when I noticed that the Xcode service was running. I would still like to know what happened in case I have a similar problem with the next OS/Server upgrade, but for now it's at least running.

IMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."

Question, asked professionally
When will iMovie for Mac be able to open iMovie for iOS projects?
Question, asked snarkily
Any reasonable expectation that we will ever be able to edit projects--created in iMovie on our fancy new expensive phones--in iMovie on our fancy new expensive laptops?

iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
Frustration
Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
The year: 2015
Hours lost: Three Weeks
Total costs for both devices: $4,000
Background Details
I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
Likely Suspect
I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
Suggestions
I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
Resolutions
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.

I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

How to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS

Hi Guys,
Anybody out there knowing how to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS ?
I am having 1 ipa file created using Xcode, Now i need to include that file in my ipa Package which is created using Flash CS 5.5 and Air for iOS. Also i need to know how to open my 1st ipa file from AS3 ?
Thanks,

Hi Sir,
Thanks for your reply.
But in that case user need to download 2 applications right. I need user to download my parent application created using Flash and that package contain one more ipa created using Xcode, so from my parent app only user should able to open my 2nd app. Is there any way to do that?
Ps: I am not talking about in-app but 2 individual apps inside one package.

Cannot update file created with iMovie Mavericks on YouTube. File format is unknown

I have just upgraded to iMovie Mavericks. I created a new movie and I am trying to upload it on YT. The direct upload using the share button in iMovie does not work (file format is not recognised). I then saved the file on the folder movies and tried to upload it on YT in this way, but again the format of the file is unknown and cannot be uploaded/played. Help please!!

Will your videos play in Quicktime 10 (the version in Mavericks)? If yes, but after automatic conversion I think you can save the converted file and this will most likely be importable into iMovie.
If not there are lots of free and paid conversion apps. I use the free MediaConverter a lot (http://media-converter.sourceforge.net)
The free app VideoSpec (http://videospec.free.fr/english/) will show you the detailed format of your videos
Its a matter of trying out various formats until you find one that works - Unfortunately I have not seen a clear list of formats that are supported by iMovie 10.

Cannot import 1 clip into iMovie

I'm a newbie so I'll try to give as much detail as possible on my current problem and hope some more experienced users can offer some suggestions.
This has been a recurring problem since using iMovie '09. I'm using '09 on an iMac with OS-X. When I try to import video clips from my card reader, iMovie will import SOME but not others. These were all taken at the same time from the same event (a concert) so the formatting didn't change. The one clip I'm really struggling with right now is the one I need the most - it's quite big - about 60 minutes of video but I have a new external 3 TB hard drive so space isn't an issue.
No matter how many times I try, I get a "Cannot import 1 clip" message when trying to add this one to iMovie. The thing is - that message occurs at different points. At first, I would get it within 5 minutes of importing. Sometimes, I get it halfway through and once, I almost got to the end of importing the whole 60 minutes before that message popped up.
I've had this problem in the past with other video clips but after rebooting and trying again (sometimes several times) - eventually it DOES import. I can play this problem clip within iMovie from the reader, play it in the camcorder and on the TV and there's no problem with it. Why won't iMovie import THIS clip but will import other clips around it? (Other clips are quite large too!)
Before I invest in upgrading to iLife '11 - I want to feel comfortable that iMovie isn't going to keep giving me these same headaches. As I said before, this problem has occurred in the past with other events. After trying and trying many times, I've finally gotten those clips imported. But with this one, I don't seem to be making any headway.
Any advice would be appreciated. And if you need more info, please let me know and I'll do my best.
Thank you!

I have a Sony DCR-DVD103 and when I go to File>Import Movies I do see my Finalized DVD, but all the files including the Import button are grayed out. How can I import the Finalized movie into iMovie?
The "Import Movies..." option is for importing "edit" compatible files from a hard drive into iMovie '08. If the source files are not already "edit" compatible, iMovie '08 will not let you import them. Instead, try the ""Import from Camera..." option. If iMovie '08 properly recognizes you DVD camcorder, it will import your MPEG2/AAC content by converting all MPEG-2 "P" and "B" frames to "I" frames (which are editable), convert the AC3 audio to AIFF, and place both in an MOV file container with start and/or end time offsets to minimize drift between audio and video. The resulting file can then be edited in iMovie '08.
If the camcorder is not recognized by iMovie '08, then you will probably have to import the MPEG2/AC3 files to you hard drive and manually convert them to an edit compatible compression format manually using an MPEG-based, third-party conversion application like iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free but requires $20 QT MPEG-2 Playback component), FFmpegX, (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), MPEG2 Works (pay-ware), or similar application.

Cannot Import Video made with iMovie for iPhone/iPod Touch

I edited a video on my iPod touch using Apple's iMovie. The resulting .MOV file that iMovie creates will not import into iPhoto '11. While iMovie recognises the file just fine, iPhoto believes it is an unsupported file type. It's a .MOV for goodness sakes created with Apple's own hardware and program! Very strange. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Hey there. In answer to your question, all other clips that appear in my camera roll are easily seen by iPhoto. It is only those movies that I have created with iMovie for iPhone that iPhoto does not recognize. It's really strange, considering the fact that it's just a .MOV file. As a result, I've had to download a program called 'DiskAid' that allows me to transfer the .MOV file directly to my computer from the iPod Touch.
In answer to your question regarding whether or not iMovie for iPhone was worth downloading, I would have to say yes (assuming of course the import-to-iPhoto problem gets fixed). It's not a perfect program. My biggest complaint is that you have to import clips ONE at a time. There's no 'import all' option. This is really time consuming as you have to cycle through all the videos on your iPod or iPhone and manually tap each one and repeat. My dad likes to take a lot of 1-minute videos that then have to get spliced together and that can be really tedious with how this iMovie is currently set up. However, if you regularly think to add your clips to an existing project as you go along, things should be fine. It could do with a few more features and faster rendering times, but on the whole, it's a decent program. I have a feeling, though, that it was designed more for the YouTube generation who want to upload a five-minute video instead of people like my father and I who like to edit an hour or so and then eventually burn to a DVD. iMovie for the Mac still CERTAINLY has it's place.

Why am i getting this warning? iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library.

I can no longer import photos from my PC because I get this message: iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library. How can I fix this problem?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Cannot import video edited on imovie app

Please help, im a pc user trying to import a video I have edited using imovie, i have exported it to my camera roll but it will not import when I use picasa or any other way you can import using a mass storage device on a pc, Ive tried everything, dragging and dropping from my computer. Any ideas??? by the way this is happening with two different iphones I own. cannot import any video edited with imovie

I believe the only way you can share a movie edited with iMovie on your phone is:
* Email
* MMS (multimedia message)
* YouTube
* MobileMe Gallery
If on a Mac, you can export your finished movies to the Camera Roll and then bring them into iMovie on your Mac.

Cannot import mp4 files to iMovie anymore

A few weeks ago I was able to import mp4 files to iMovie. I've encoded the files with Handbrake first.
But now, I've downloaded a mp4 file (and then to be sure encoded this one too) but can't import it in iMovie.
How is this possible? They are all in the same mp4 format, but my last one doesn't work. It won't even play in Quicktime..
In the image below, you can see that the upper file can't be selected while trying to import it into iMovie.

Hi Misstarretje,
Have you read this article about how to import all kinds of mp4 files to iMovie ?

Cannot import my dvd to imovie

I have some home movies that I had put on advd by a company. I can play it but I cannot import it to imovie. I went to the apple store and they told me to buyDVDxDV. Before I spend $80.00 i'd like to know if its the best solution. Thanks Debi

DVDxDV is the best, in terms of "convenience", a very Mac-like solution... and on top of my recommendations for importing DVDs into iM...
No 2 on my list is more the ... "advanced" tool-combo ... less intuitive, more options.. if you need it ...
I haven't found any "quality" differences in resulting files.. it is NEVER recommended to convert DVD into editable footage, due to the nature of the dvd compression codec ...
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (29$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
non of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...
