Trying for Days Just to Create a Project - How?

I've been reading the help files and experimenting for days and simply cannot get through the very first step of creating a project in iMove. When I click the "New" button and I then click "Movie" it comes to Themes.
So I pick the "Modern" theme. When I click on create it keeps bringing up this screen that is impossible to fill out with two entries:
Name
Event
I can fill in a name but it keeps showing "Events" (whatever they are...no explanation) that have absolutely nothing to do with the movie I'm trying to create. Is there some way to get rid of this "Event" option? There is nothing in there with any of the photos or videos I want to use in my movie. Where is it coming from? What does it mean?
I cannot find an explanation of what an "Event" is. I just want to create a darn movie project with my clips. Who cares about events?
Thank you.

Yes, I am reading the manual. I'm looking right here: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.6/#/move6ccb3330
However, when I click "New" up at the top and try to create my very first project it asks for a "Name" which I enter, then it asks for an "Event" which it thinks already exists somewhere but this "Event" does not exist so I can't even create the most basic shell to start a movie project. Where are the "Events"?
I would like to be able to add some movie clips and photos to a very short movie. I tried dragging some movie clips from the Finder to anywhere on the left hand side but nothing can be dropped there. Every attempt is rejected. Are movie clips "Events"?
How can I even get started if I can't do something as simple as creating an empty project to begin adding movie clips to it?
Yes, I've been reading the manual for days now. Tried googling, too. No explanation of how to get rid of this "Event" request that does not exist.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4, current Flash Player version 11.6.602.180), but each time that I download the installer and run it, there is a "General installation error" soon after starting the "Installing" phase.
Each time, the installer completes the "Creating Install" and "Downloading" phases, but soon after starting the "Installing" phase, an error occurs "Error: General installation error" and Safari is opened tohttp://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=30&type=inst all&appid=500
Is it unusual for another "Install Adobe Flash Player" app to open? When the "Installing" phase begins, a second flash installer box icon appears in the dock, but then closes immediately and then the first installer shows the "Error: General installation error" page.

Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

Take it somewhere that has better broadband. The best you can do sometimes is invest in new modem that works with your system instead of the rental etc in most cases.
Do a Safe Boot.
Make sure your firewall is set properly. Don't use 3rd party. AV software can get in the way.
Make sure you are getting the service and a clean strong modem signal - slow is one thing but if it drops off and can't maintain a connection you have hardware issues, not software - and upgrade to a new OS doesn't tend to improve, it may even not work with older networking equipment once you do get it.
I agree and think electronic only goes too far. And when you do get it: burn the package and manually set it aside first before running the intaller! make a flash memory installer, put it on DVDs too.

I bought the mountain lion app and i have been trying for days to install it someone help i am going crazy up in here!

I bought the mountain lion since last week and have been trying for hours to install it but i am not even getting to install it someone HELP!!!

I wonder, if you may want to clean up your system first. You could try to scan and repair permissions on that machine, make sure no disc errors, and also do a final pram reset. Then try to re-install again.
If the install still halts, then re-download the installer.

Not been able to open firefox for days just keep getting crash reporter, tried everything, no joy

for the past few days, a week at most, i've been unable to open firefox, it just keeps giving me the crash reporter..
i always use firefox, i've not installed any add ons (i did install dropbox lately but thats about it), i always have adblockplus running, have done for months never had a problem

then one day, i tried opening firefox, it said checking compatibility of add-ons, then gave the crash reporter box, not been able to do anything since
i've followed all guides on here, i've reset all settings, i've updated the add-ons it said i had, i've tried booting in safe mode..

I have tried for days to up-date iTunes genius with no luck at all... HELP!

Virtually all the music in my iTunes library is in sync with the iTunes Genius function, except for the *NEW* music that I installed 5 days ago.
There were no problems loading the music on to my computer and every one of those tracks play beautifully in iTunes.
The problem I have is when I go to up-date genius. ITunes gathers all the new information then transmits it to Apple. Then it says “Waiting for Apple to deliver your Genius results…” What happens then is, slowly, but surely Apple fills in the result info onto the time-line bar at the top of my screen until it fills completely. There it stays filled completely for HOURS, still those music files says “No Genius Suggestions”.
I have done this repeatedly for 4 DAYS, waiting for HOURS each time for Apple to up-date those tracks with no success.
Please, if you can I could use someone’s help…
My laptop is a Dell Precision M6400 and my OS is Windows Vista Ultimate (service pack 2). I have 4gig of RAM & my system type is 32-bit Operating System.
The iTunes version that I’m running is VERSION 12.1.1.4
Thank you for your time…

Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

Ive been trying for days

hi guys.
im a complete beginer at java and only have any experience in html and basic. ive got a problem which is really winding me up. i have tried using three or four different programs but none of them work. i have used the command javac First on this code:
public class First
public static void main (String[] args)
System.out.println ("This is my first Java Program!!!");
it works fine and makes a file called First.class
i then try the command java First and it gives me this error.
Exception in thread "main" java.land.NoClassDefFoundError: First
every one is just telling me that ive cased it wrong but its definately right. when i said that people stoped replying. pleease help!!!

Here's what happens, unfortunately, that isn't well documented:
By default, java will assume that your current directory is part of the class path (it automaticallly looks in the current directory for your class files).
But then you read somewhere that you can set your classpath environment variable, so that you don't have to specify the classpath all of the time. So you do this, and all of a sudden, java doesn't check the current directory anymore. It looks only in the classpath as you've specified it.
The typical solution is to put '.' as part of your classpath environment variable.

I have paid for adobe but everytime i try to upload a pdf to adobe and convert it to word it fails !!! i have been trying for days now

I have paid for adobe but everytime I try to upload a pdf to adobe and convert it to word I get a fail message after about 5 minutes waiting

Hi Scott,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble using your Acrobat.com subscription. I've checked your account, and there are no issues there.
Is the problem specific to one PDF file, or are you running into the same problem with multiple files? How large is the file (or files) that you're trying to upload? Are they complex (large number of pages; mix of text and graphics)?
Let's start with some basic troubleshooting:
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported browsers).
Make sure that there are no firewall or proxy settings that are limiting your access to the Internet.
Let us know how it goes. If you're still having trouble, we can take a closer look at the files that you're trying to convert.
Best,
Sara

How do I add Videos to my NEW 80GB iPod? HELP! I've been trying for days!!!

I purchased a music video and two TV episodes from iTunes. It a long time to download and after it was finished, it disappeared from iTunes. It wasn't found in iTunes or on my iPod. I also downloaded videos from a third party website, got the videos on my iPod but when I went to play them, it played as an audio file with no video showing. How do I resolve this?

Since you have a new computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Now select Music in the source list on the left side of the iTunes window. If your purchase isn't there, go back to the menu bar click Store / Check for Available Downloads.
Connect your iPod to your computer. You should be able to sync your iTunes media.

I have trying for days to download Firefox 4.1. It goes through all the motions, but when it gets to the final step, it can't connect with the download server. What should I do? It keeps telling me this download is strongly recommended.

It downloads everything, but when I re-start, it can not connect to the download server.
I've left it open and it never connects.
