"Unknown Error" When Trying to Add a Title (Never Happened Before)

I've been using iMovie HD with my Canon HD camcorder (HV20) for about 2 months without any problems. It's been flawless. I fired it up today for the first time in about 2-3 weeks (and a few Apple updates) and I'm getting "An Unknown Error Occurred. You may be able to continue without problems. You may also wish to save, quit, and re-launch iMovie HD."
I imported my video and started messing with the different titles. iMovie crashed on me two times and then I was finally able to reopen it and fortunately my videos were in the trash bin and I didn't have to re-import them.
Then I went to re-add the title and I got the above mentioned error. I have plenty of disk space left (98 GB) so that can be ruled out. The only other apps I have running are iTunes and Firefox and killing them doesn't help any.
Are there any log files somewhere that I can look at to get more information as to what is going on? This really ticks me off because I've got some great video of my daughter that I'm trying to get to my family. I've never had these crashing problems with any Apple application until now...
If anyone has any advice or input I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi g8trGTO - it may be worth repairing permissions (via Utilities>Disk Utility), and also trashing this file after closing iMovie:

  • Fatal error when trying to add derived table

    Hello,
    I'm new at desiging a universe. I get the following a fatal error when trying to add a derived table to my universe:
    1 processor x Family 15 Model 0 Stepping 0
    Windows 2000 Workstation  v5.1 build 2600 (S)
    Physical Total/Avail: 2.097.151 Kb / 2.004.940 Kb
    Temp directory C:\DOCUME1\xxxxxx\LOCALS1\Temp\ (1 Kb available)
    'Unknown' video card
       1280 x 768 in true color
    (doesn't make sense to me)
    I use an ODBC connection that connects to a MySQL database. When I test the connection it's fine.
    I am trying to add a derived table because it seems that my universe cannot produce LEFT OUTER JOINS.  I read somewhere that I should set my ansi92 parameter to YES instead of NO. But, everytime I re-open my universe, it sets itself automatically to NO again.
    My utlimate goal is :
    For example, list ALL the people, left join my table to their websites, but return ALL the people, even if they don't have a website.
    I dont' understand, my join should be simple enough.
    Anybody knows what could be causing all these restrictions ?
    Thanks for you help.

    Hi Sose,
    In BusinessObjects (Universe) Designer, the outer join option in a join is not available and is dimmed when using a Generic ODBC connection.
    Try Following Solutions:
    Solution : 1
    When using an ODBC connection the odbc.prm must be modified on the machine where BusinessObjects Designer is used.
    Use the following steps to modify odbc.prm:
    1. Locate odbc.prm in the following folder:
    \Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 11\win32_x86\dataAccess\Connection Server\odbc
    2. Open odbc.prm in a text editor and modify the parameter 'EXT_JOIN' so its value is 'YES' instead of 'NO'.The outer join option is now available in BusinessObjects Designer.
    If the outer join option is still not available after following the steps above. open odbc.prm in a text editor and modify the parameter OUTERJOINS_GENERATION. Change its value from 'NO' to either 'ANSI92' or 'ODBC'.
    Solution : 2
    This can occur when user is using a non-database specific middleware such as generic ODBC. Generic ODBC allows creating a successful connection and universe, however will not allow the Outer Join option.
    The syntax for outer joins is specific to each database and the Generic ODBC driver only lets you access standard common features of all ODBC data sources.
    Ensure that you are using the database specific middleware to create the connection.
    I Hope this Helpsu2026.
    Thanksu2026.

    2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
    3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
    4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

  • I am getting an error when trying to add a caption.

    I get the following error when trying to add a caption to a photo.   "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc.  The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media."    I am running Windows 7 Pro.   The files are located on my c:.   The drive has 274 GB Free so space isn't an issue.   I have tried deleting a file and readding it to the same catalog and still the same problem.   I have copied the file to the desktop and cataloged it from there and the error went away.  
    If i check on the folder attibutes it is set to read-only but the desktop folder is as well.   If i try to remove the read only it only resets itelf to read only again.   Once i get the error another file shows up with the image name plus -edTM P-1 and it has the caption on it.  

    I was able to get it to work.  The root folder which held the pictures had a lock on it through windows 7.   Even though the drive was shared, I still had to go into the folder properties and share it with everyone.   Once i got the lock off and rebooted I was able to add captions again.

    Hi J. B.
    I have a question related to this. After you told me about the //host:1521/database alias I tried it in a VB 2008 program and it worked and returned data. At least I know that it can be used in a VB program without issues. I just now need to be able to add a connection with the Server Explorer.
    Anyway here is the VB coding I used. I'm new to this and still learning:
    Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client ' Visual Basic ODP.NET Oracle managed provider
    Public Class Form1
    ' String to connect to the database.
    Dim strConnectionString As String = _
    "Data Source=//emad-pc:1521/emadeva;User ID=scott;Password=tiger;" '
    ' Associate the connection string with a connection object.
    Dim objOracleConnection As New OracleConnection(strConnectionString)
    ' SQL query for returning data rows.
    Dim strSqlQuery As String = _
    "Select dname, deptno " & _
    "From dept " & _
    "Where deptno = 10" '
    ' Command object to make this query work.
    Dim objOracleCommand As New OracleCommand(strSqlQuery, objOracleConnection)
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    ' Identify what type of command is being used.
    objOracleCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
    Try
    objOracleConnection.Open()
    ' Set up a Data Reader and load it with data.
    Dim objOracleDataReader As OracleDataReader = _
    objOracleCommand.ExecuteReader()
    objOracleDataReader.Read()
    ' Convert the department number to a string.
    lblDepartmentNumberFromOracle.Text = _
    CStr(objOracleDataReader.Item("deptno"))
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error")
    End Try
    End Sub
    End Class
    I still want to thank you for the help you are providing.
    Truly,

    How come Leopard let me use the WGM in standard mode?
    While SA complains that it won't work in Standard Configuration, WGM does not. There is some fault in the logic of this for which I don't have an explanation.
    If I want to get control on Dock, selection of Home folder, config of Proxy... which I think are basic things, do I really need the advanced mode?
    If you wish to have complete control of all client settings, yes. There really is no disadvantage of using an Advanced configuration other than the learning curve.
    So if I switch to advanced mode, there is good chance I won't get this error message anymore, right?
    Yes.

    FRM-40735: ON Insert trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502 in PAXPREPR when trying to add an employee as key member for a project
    Tried generating FND log messages to see if it shows any error messages but it didn't show any specific error.

    Error ORA-06502 says PL/SQL: numeric or value error.
    The Error could be in the data already exist in the system for key members. If this Project was created using APIs, there are possibilities that some other character( i.e. next line chracter ) got entered in the column value which Form "PAXPREPR" is not able to fetch or update.
    You can query the key member data from back-end to check if any data corruption is there. you may require data-fix to correct that.

  • Error when trying to add a project to Subversion source control

    When trying to add a project to source control from within the OPM 10 studio (File - Source Control - Add Project to Source Control), the following error occurs:
    "There was a problem accessing the source control system, probably due to network or contention issues. A retry is recommended."
    This has been tried with Subversion versions 1.6.2, 1.6.5 and 1.6.6, with local repositories and repositories on a Apache webserver.
    Once the project has been added to a repository, by using TortoiseSVN for example, working with source control is no problem.
    Does anyone have a clue what the problem (and a solution) might be?
    Thanks,
    Theo.

    Hi,
    Davin mentioned:
    This appears to be an issue with the source control integration. We are looking into it.I am using OPM 10.0.1.14
    The OPM help on collaborating mentions:
    Open a rulebase project from source control
    To open an existing Oracle Policy Modeling project from a source control repository:
    In Oracle Policy Modeling, select File | Source Control | Open Existing Project from Source Control. When I open the File menu I do not see the "Source Control" at all.
    Is this caused by an installation error or part of the "issue with the source control integration" ?
    Please let me know if I'm the only one experiencing this problem ....
    Thankx,
