What do I do when iMovie is not responding?

I was trying to make a video on iMovie when it started freezing on me and I just had to force quit and when I did it say that it wasn't responding. Then I closed the window and I opened a new one to see if it would work but it just did the same thing but this time it just was all gray and I ended up force quiting again and I did that many times and now I don't know what to do.

I would suggest that you move the Preference files to the trash. See this post for details.

  • Dear community, what to do when iMovie does not automatically updates video from iPhoto. I've closed and reopen, restarted... still no good

    Dear community, what to do when iMovie does not automatically updates video from my iPhoto. Usually it will automatically generate new content, but now it's stuck 3 days behind the latest new iPhoto entries... I've restarted all programs, restarted the computer... what else?

    Ezy,
    I'm not sure what recourse you really have. My expectation would be that Apple is on the hook to warranty your computer, but they only warrant the machine you've got.
    The issue of exchange is fully in the hands of the dealer. If it were Apple, they would likely have had a longer return/exchange period (2 weeks is standard in the US, and I think they use the same timeframe internationally), and there have been some reports of people getting machines exchanged even if they were just outside the 2-week period.
    However, with Apple dealers, I think they are a little more concerned about old inventory. Who knows what Apple does when you give them back a last-gen Macbook. They probably sell it at a markdown, but even marked down, they still get a profit (most likely). When an authorized reseller gets stuck with an old machine, they probably have to sell it at a loss. Thus, I would expect resellers to be more afraid of holding onto discontinued models.
    That said, if they do a lot of business, they should appreciate the value of customer loyalty: it's usually better to lose money on one purchase than lose a customer (and all their future purchases). If you're a regular customer there, you could point out that disappointment could cause you to go to a competitor. That's playing a bit of hardball though.
    However, there is maybe an upshot to all of this... The new 13" model did not get the quad-core CPU's.. And it lost its dedicated graphics adapter. I've seen a decent number of people complaining that the new 13" model is worse than the previous one (the one I'm assuming you've gotten). So it might not be such a bad thing after all.

    What do i do when iTunes will not let me download a song and the App store will not let me download and app?

    What do you mean by 'will not let me download' ? Is the buy/download button greyed out ? Are you getting any error messages ?

  • What do I do when I can not find the curser

    what do I do when I can not find the curser

    The esc key will hide the cursor, hitting the esc key again will reveal it.
    So try hitting the esc key and then move the mouse (or swipe the track pad). If there is no cursor visible anywhere, do the same thing again.

  • I have a MacBook Air, my iMovie is not responding... how do I make it work?

    HI,
    My MacBook Air, was bought less than 4 months ago. I have been able to use imovie for the past 2-3 months. But now, the iMovie application is not responding. I have tried again and again. I shut down the Macbook Air. I restarted it and it just does not respond. My MacBook is up to date, but iMovie does not respond.

    Hey samwise_lotr,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Start the computer in safe mode and see if iMovie opens. If it works you may want to remove unnecessary login items.

  • How to save message when getting "email not responding"

    how to save message when getting "email not responding"

    How could you even know if you have a message if the email account isn't responding?
    Quit the mail app and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail icon. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • What happens if AppleID verification email is not responded to?

    What happens if AppleID verification email is not responded to? I have to setup 100  iphones for user who do not use email. I have email addresses for them, but don't want to have to config email for them and teach them to use it just to answer one email. IT will not let me sign in as them and respond to the email, so each user has to have IT config email on a computer and then they can respond. This is a huge productivity hit for us.

    Hello mum_of_four,
    I’m all for getting the best possible price for anything I’m buying, so I’m sure it was disappointing to find yourself locked out of your own BestBuy.com account.  I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
    While rare, there are times where the verification email doesn’t arrive as anticipated (i.e.: arrived in junk/spam folder, another email address attached to the account); however, I’d hate for you to miss out on a great sale price, so I pulled up your account using the email address on your forum profile. It appears your concerns reached Lillibeth with our customer care team, and she was able help modify your account and sent you a password reset link to help. Have you successfully been able to log into your account since then?
    I hope to hear from you soon,

  • Datasource Enahncement - What is the case when i am not req to do USER Exit

    Experts,
      Can someone explain me what is/are the cases when i do not require to code in the user exit to populate the enhanced field?
    I see for some datasource the enhanced values are populated automatically.
    Appreciate your answers.
    Thanks
    Hari

    Hi Hari,
    In some cases we  do not need to write any code .
    Whenever we need to enhance our datasource we first check in LBWE if the required filed is available in the pool .
    If it is available in pool we simply transfer it to extract structure and in this case we do not write wny code.
    The second case is when we append our extractiion structure because the required field is not abailabl ein the pool.
    In this case we need to write code to populate the field.
    Hope it helps

  • What is happening when firefox reports (Not Responding)?

    More often than I'd like (at least a dozen times per day) Firefox goes non-responsive and reports (Not Responding) in the banner. (In fact it happened while I was trying to access this page!)
    Does mozilla have any tools/add-ons that I could install that Firefox could activate when this happens to try to diagnose the problem? i.e. when the banner is updated to display (Not Responding), could firefox also do things like:
    - ICMP ping the proxy server (if there is one) to see if it is a local network problem.
    - ICMP ping the destination website in question to check end-to-end network latency.
    - setup an HTTP connection (wget?) to the proxy server (if there is one) to see if the proxy server is the bottleneck?
    - setup an HHTP connection(wget?) to the destination website to measure the response time for a new connection?
    Etc.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    There is also security software (firewalls) that can cause such issues, so you may need to look there as well.
