Thumbails are half grey in Imovie, almost impossible to edit

Hi,
I am new to this forum, and I use iMovie version 10.0.2
I work on a project which is in my iMovie Library. It all works fine, I can play the movie and import new clips/ videos etc.
However, the big problem is that there is some grey noise or sort of grey line over my clip/thumbails in the event editor (as well as the precision editor/nothing changes), which makes it impossible to change the settings / edit my clips/ movie. It is really annoying and I tried couple of things like: Change the event name, delete thumbails in thumbails folder, restarting computer/ imovie etc. Nothing seems to help so far..
Is there anyone who knows about this problem? I have to finish this movie, and its impossible to edit and change things now
Thanks.

I have tried to update my former iWork with updates from the app store. Mavericks refuses to open them. Mavericks tells me "Can't open, because they are from an unknown source". My iMac tells me that Apples app store is an unknown source.
Just can't believe how Apples software developers could get permission to turn somethiing rally, really good to this really mediocre version pages 5. The opposite to development if you ask me.
What were they thinking?
I'm angry.

    monitor too faint to read.  the greays on my monitor are so faint, they're almost impossible to see.  especially the numbers of the dates in ical.

    Thank you.  I didn't know about the universal access adjustment.  All the way left is a little better, but still much fainter than on my own imac.  I'm not sure why apple uses grey typeface, but it's so faint on this imac monitor that it was difficult to find the "reply" option on this post.  Are there any other suggestions?  thank you

    Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.

  • Hi - just using the new iMovie for the first time - apparently there should be a sidebar containing tools like "Content Library". Not on mine - even in Window view, Content Library features like text etc are all greyed out - obviously it's me - help?

    Sorry - I should have added that I have imported a Quicktime movie, originally created as an iPhoto slideshow.
    I want to create rolling credits at the movie end and apparently you can only do this using iMovie - can you help please?

  • Does anyone know if there is a way to arrange songs on a playlist that has 100 songs? I used to be alble to double click and open a new page but that is no longer an option. Because you cant get a total view of the playlist it is almost impossible

    I used to be alble to double click and open a new page but that is no longer an option. Because you cant get a total view of the playlist it is almost impossible.. if a song is in position 95 and I want to put it at 3 I have to hold it and drag it till the curor moves.. This makes creating an order almnost impossible because you cn only see half of the songs

    This is a follow-up to the above question I had.
    Since i noticed people looking at the question, but no replies showing up, i contacted BC support directly with the same question.
    I got a reply.
    I did tests based on the reply.
    Here is what is going on based on the reply.
    (spoiler alert : It works... but it's not yet a perfect score.)
    All the details are posted here :

  • The Elements 12 Mac disk works fin - I also have a Dell, and the Windows disk will not run at all, sounds like it's grinding, and is almost impossible to remove from the hard drive.  I cannot find any place to tell me who to CALL to ask for a replacement!

    Hi Samcat,
    You can use a download instead of the disk as an alternative: Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe you can license with your serial
    Please test the disk in another windows machine to check if it's caused by the drive or the disk. If you tested with 2 drives please start a support case, i assume Adobe will only provide downloads at this point. They are the same as the trials. If you still need a disk you can burn the trial to a disk as a backup disk. Good luck!

  • USB Cable almost impossible to disconnect from 5th Gen iPod

    My 80 Gig iPod arrived today. It is my first MP3 player and I am impressed by it. Operation seems to be quite easy. I , however have a problem. When I have completed charging/synching the iPod and have "ejected" it from iTunes, I have found it almost impossible to disconnect the cable from the iPod. It has taken me nearly an hour to disconnect it and I am afraid I will damage the iPod. I think I have already cracked the plastic on the connector. Is this unusual, or is there something I am not aware of? I did a search of the discussions and all I seem to come up with are questions regarding the "Do not disconnect" message. Thanks for any assistance you can give.

  • Connection to a remote speaker almost impossible

    I’ve just bought an Airport Express few weeks ago and it’s still almost impossible to get a reliable connection to the remote speaker from within iTune 5.01.
    The Airport Express is connected as remote station to an Airport Extreme base using WDS.
    When I’m trying to connect to the remote speaker, I’m getting the message that the remote speaker is already used by another computer. Since I’m also using a PowerMac G4 (running 10.3.9 and iTunes 5.01) at home, I’ve switched off this machine, switched off and on the Airport Express : most of the time I’m getting the error message.
    After this few weeks period, I would say that rate of successful connections is less than 10 %. I wasn’t able to determine why the connection is suddenly working…
    Any clues are welcome
    Cheers

    But the issue is I need to connect to the remote
    server and not my local machine. What am I doing wrong
    in the connection string?What you are doing wrong is assuming you can use a "remote DSN". If you're connecting to a DSN it has to be on your own machine. You may be able to make that DSN refer to a database on another machine, though.
    You also mentioned a "remote server". You're also making a mistake in assuming such a thing exists. Other databases have servers but Access doesn't.
    The simplest thing to do, probably, would be to map a drive to the machine where your remote Access database is located and then to use a DSN-less connection to it. I don't recall just how you do that but if the forum search facility is working then you should be able to find out, as that information is posted here frequently. Or you could use Google, and it will usually give you links to this forum.

  • Why is it hard almost impossible to use iPad 1in sunlight outdoors

    Why is it hard almost impossible to use iPad 1in sunlight outdoors

    WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
    Replying to Toad-Hall:
    I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
    How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
    The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
    I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
    What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

    Double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. You may have many open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign.

  • Startup screen flashes half coloured noise and half grey with 4 pixelated apple logos?

    Startup screen flashes half coloured noise and half grey with 4 pixelated apple logos anybody got any ideas.

    If you have an Apple store available, your appointment for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out.

  • Super slow Macbook air 80 Gb. Almost impossible to use.

    My 2009 MacAir 80 Gb snow leopard is very, very slow for about 3 months so far. Almost 30 minutes to startup! And when I am using it is almost impossible do anything.  I have 30 Gb free memory. Already used Clean My Mac software, reboot, but still not working.
    Thanks.

    Hi Jason,
    Thank you. After reintall the OS my MBA is fast again. (snow leopard)
    But, there is a problem. No sound.
    When I go to Settings>Hardware>Sounds = "no audio device found". (It was translated from how I found it on my MBA in Portuguese, so Im not sure if these words are correct).
    Any idea?
    Thanks again.

  • I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photos are just grey with JPG in it. How do i get my photos back?

    I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photo's are gone. They are just grey with JPG in it.
    How do i get my photo's back? And why are they grey?
    Any help would be nice.
    Thank you.

    Restarting your phone doesn't cause it to grey out.
    Were you restoring from an icloud backup?  IF so, it does take awhile for pictures to download.

  • The UI text of the menus are not readable so it's impossible to work with

    Hi
     I install the photoshop cs6(x64) and i have the following problem. The UI text of the menus(not the toolbar drop down menus) are not readable so it's impossible to work with. After that, I completely uninstall the cs6 photoshop and i tried to install photoshop cc(x64)-with clean install- but the problem still exist.
    Also I tried to change display settings from 1600x900(recommened)but the problem still exist...I send you some photos of the menus to understand better what I mean.Any suggestions? Specifications

    Right click on your desktop and choose Properties, then choose Window Color, Advanced Appearance settings...
    Click on the Message Text to look at your Message Box item settings.  Is the font Segoe UI, 9 point, color black?
    Also, in Photoshop, check your Edit - Preferences - Interface menu.  What is your UI Font Size there?  Try changing it to something else, closing and restarting Photoshop, then changing it back.
    Lastly, you could try resetting your Photoshop preferences to defaults.  Press and hold Command - Shift - Option simultaneously (or Control - Shift - Alt if on a PC) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
