Urgent iMovie 6 Question--PLEASE HELP!!!

Hey everyone in the Support Community,
I was recently editing a school project on iMovie 6 (on a Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11) when the screen just froze. Nothing on the entire screen would respond. So I foolishly pulled the plug on the computer, and when I turned it back on, I was unable to open the movie file. I would double click on the icon, it would load about a third of the way, and then iMovie would quit. Because it always stopped loading and quit at the same point, I figure I corrupted a file by pulling the plug. So, basically, I screwed up an iMovie file and now can't open it.
(This is where it would always lock up)
(And here's what happened)
I am really clueless about what to do. I tried searching web forums, spent a half-hour just trying to brute force it, and even called the Apple Support Hotline (they apparently don't offer assistance for computers/apps as old as mine ) If I haven't been clear enough about the problem, I'd be happy to give any additional information.
I would super-appreciate any help. This project needs to be completed by this coming Tuesday (it's currently Friday) and I have a couple other guys relying on me to finish up the editing. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I WOULD BE FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!
-Dannie

Unless you saved the project it will have become corrupted by that sudden shut-down.
You may need to re-create the project.
But first try this:
Close iMovie. Go to to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.apple.iMovie.plist
Restart iMovie and reset all your preferences, then try opening that project again.

  • VERY URGENT IPHOTO QUESTION PLEASE HELP!!!

    Good day. i know this is an ihpoto question which should be posted in the iphoto section- but due to its urgency i really need all the help i need.- I would like to create a slide show presentation with music attached to it. i tried it once with a few pistures and it worked. now, i have around 3 hundred pictures and would like to create a slide show but unfortunately the same music keeps on playing over and over again. once the 1st music is done and there are still pictures to be shown, can i use another music title? how do i do this? please help....

    I always create a playlist in iTunes when I'm making an iPhoto slide show. You can select the playlist to play. I generally try to figure out how long I really want the slide show to last, and then make the playlist in iTunes. You haven't told us which version of iPhoto you're using, but the more recent versions have an option to time the slideshow to the length of the music rather than playing the music over again. Exactly which versions of iTunes and iPhoto do you have?

    Hello,
    you have to use ZCI form to use DDLB in WD-ABA. The content of the DDLB has to be present at rendering time, there is no dinamic call when you click the "dropdown".
    The attribut you map to the DDLB has to be an element with a value-set, and the value set has to contain the text / value pairs.
    >> this will be displayed when you click the dropdown.
    Best regards,

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    Chester31,
    Thank you very much for sharing your file with us!  Now that we are able to reproduce the problem at our end, you may stop sharing the file on Acrobat.com.
    Do you know when this problem (for not being able to add new highlight/strikeout/underline) has started?  Did you update your iOS from 7.x to 8.0 recently?
    We will continue investigating the problem and let you know what we find.
    Thank you again for your help.

  • My apple id have been blocked an i do not remember the identity or security question please help what can i do?

    my apple id have been blocked an i do not remember the identity or security question please help what can i do?

    If your account is disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPhone and iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Storeand then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • HT201363 Hello, I have my pass word, I have my Apple ID, but itunes think I am buying a song for the first time and is asking me 2 security questions, please help, what should i do?

    I cannot remember the answeres to my security questions, please help.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
    This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
