why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore?? (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

Hi
There is a limiting factor that's easy to miss.
• FREE SPACE on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk
When this goes low then iMovie, Mac OS and all applications runs into problems. So to get a safe way to work (for me) I set a minimum that I try to never go lower than. (Sorry for strange sentence)
I never let my Mac (Macintosh HD) go lower than 25GB free space. If it does - then I move away things to an external hard disk (always Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - as nothing else will do for VIDEO)
Else - in iDVD Time is the limiting factor. (iMovie - I never run into any - my monster Vacation epos is >>6 hours)
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.

Why can't I open my projects in iMovie 11?

After importing a video on imovie (11), when I pressed play it wouldn't show anything but there would be sound. I went back to my projects and it wouldn't let me click on any of them to edit, except from the empty ones. How do I fix this problem?

Hi
My guess is
• corrupted iMovie preference file - trash it when iMovie is not running
• use of strange video formats (codecs) or photo file formats or audio file formats - use what iMovie can use.

Why can't I edit my clips on iMovie?

I'm doing a book project for school and I imported my clips into move 10.0.6, and I can't do anything to edit besides import and delete entire clips. I am new to move 10.0.6. If someone could please help by December 6th, 2014, that would be great! The book project is due the following Wednesday. Thanks!

Hello there, Pianarist.
A great resource for learning some of the wonderful features of iMovie, is the online iMovie Help User Guide. Since you've already succesfully imported movies to your application, the next step is to create a project that you can edit and manipulate. That's eplained in greater detail here:
iMovie Help: Create a new movie
Create a movie project
Click the Create button in the toolbar, and then click Movie.
In the Create window, select a theme for your movie, or select No Theme.
To preview a theme, click the Play button in a theme’s thumbnail. For more information, see iMovie themes overview.
At the bottom of the Create window, click the Create button.
In the window that appears, type a name for the movie in the Name field.
In the Event pop-up menu, choose the event where you want the movie to reside.
Click OK.
A new movie project is created with an empty timeline.
As you work your way down the Help Menu, you will see it lays out some practical information in the order you would be creating your new project.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Why can't I share my project? None of the options in the share dropdown menu is available.

Your project is already saved in an iMovie Library on your hard drive. Re-installing iMovie will not affect your project or event files.
To reinstall iMovie, just drag the iMovie application from the Applications folder to the trash.
Reboot your Mac.
Go to the Mac App Store and look under Purchases for iMovie and click Install.
You cannot edit your iMovie 10 project in iMovie 9.
iMovie 10 is so stripped down that one really needs to either go back to 9 or, if they can afford it, move up to Final Cut Pro X. If you're strapped for cash at the moment, you can download a trial version of the new Final Cut Pro X 10.1 and get 30 days of free usage out of it, even if you've already been using a free trial of 10.0.9.

Why can't I open my project in Prem. Elements 10?

Why can't I open any project in Prem. Elements 10? Message says Windows must close the program because of "a problem," and will notify if a solution can be identified. I reinstalled the Premiere Elements 10 portion of the (bundled) program but never installed Photoshop Elements 10, and am currently continuing to run PS Elements 8. This has worked in the past, so I don't understand what the problem is. I am running Windows 7, 64-bit. Thanks!

Am I correct in reading that you have never been able to open your Premiere Elements 10 running on Windows 7 64 bit? If so, we can rule out problems with the source media and damaged projects and concentrate on the installation and system requirements.
You write that you have attempted uninstall reinstall of Premiere Elements 10. Is that correct?.
Adobe also has a Tech Note directed at troubleshooting Premiere Elements installation issues, including how to install if your installation disc might be damaged.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-problems-pepe-winxp .html
It would be interesting to see how Photoshop Elements 10 installs from this same installation disc on this same Windows 7 64 bit.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?
Help! That is why I bought this software!

Hi linda007,
If you can't edit the file once it's converted to Word, it could be that the PDF was created from a scanned page, and then image text wasn't converted to searchable text. ExportPDF should perform Optical Character Recognition by default, but it can be disabled in Reader. Do you know whether OCR was disabled when you converted the page? If it wasn't, make sure that the correct language was selected for OCR. This option appears at the bottom of the ExportPDF panel in Reader, and in the Document Language (for Text Recognition) pop-up menu that appears after you select your file to convert in the ExportPDF online service.
If everything seems to have been set correctly, and you still can edit the text, please try triple-clicking to select the text in Word. Did that do the trick?
Best,
Sara

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book "On My Mac" or sync with iCloud?

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book cards on my Macs, now that I've migrated to iCloud? I can edit/delete if I go to iCloud, but the changes don't sync with my Macs. What's happening, and what's a solution? Just wait for Apple to fix a bug?

On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud. If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud. Go to system preferences and look in iCloud. Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

Why can't I edit my signature under email settings.

Why can't I edit my signature under email settings. I want to unbold the "Sent from my iPhone" and it will only unbold it when it is in italics I don't want it in italics.

Hi Sssswm,
If you'd like to edit the email signature that is appended to email which you send from your iPhone, specifically to change the text style, please see the information below.
Select text. Tap the insertion point to display the selection options. Or double-tap a word to select it. Drag the grab points to select more or less text. In read-only documents, such as webpages, touch and hold to select a word.
You can cut, copy, or paste over selected text. With some apps, you can also get bold, italic, or underlined text (tap B/I/U); get the definition of a word; or have iPhone suggest an alternative. Tap to see all the options.
Edit text - iPhone
Take care,
Alex H.

Why can't I edit phone numbers in the dialer?

If I find a number on the Internet, it is often (at least in Sweden) typed in with country code and then an optional 0 if you're calling domesically, e.g. +46 (0) 8-402 60 00. This number isn't dialable because of the extra 0 inserted there from misguided benevolence.
My phone is also inside a switchboard and I need to add either a 0 or replace the first 0 with +46 (for a Swedish number) in front of every number to be able to make a call. Unfortunately the only way I can find to edit a phone number in the phone number dialer is to erase them from the last digit. Not very efficient if you want to replace the first digit!
Why can't I edit phone numbers anywhere in the string of numbers as anywhere else in the phone and its apps?
Now I have to copy the number either into a new contact or the notepad, edit and then dial.

Copied from my answer to your other thread for your convenience:
Unlike the iPhone, Android allows developers access to basic system functions. Although this means there are lots of apps that do interesting things like scheduling text messages (the one thing I really miss from when I had an Android), it also means the OS is significantly less secure. Apple's choice was security and stability. Google's was open platform at the expense of security and stability.

When I click on the RSS button, I got this
message:
"Safari can’t open the page “feed://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~fiorezet/UT/Publications/rss.xml”. The error was: “unknown error” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1)
Will need to look further into that one.
I used the Feed Validator Website to check my RSS files. The Website says: "This feed does not validate". The site also shows in which lines the errors are. The link below shows what I mean:

Why can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive?

Why Can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive? I scanned them into a desktop pc, copied them onto a flash drive, imported them into iphoto. Once I remove the flash drive I'm unable to edit them. Says it can't find the original...or something like that. I appreciate any help you can give me! Trying to get a slide show ready for a funeral, therefore I have an approaching deadline, eek!

Copy the photos from the drive to your desktop import then again and delete the images. If the same mistake appears, there is something wrong with your import settings into iPhoto - > may be you didn't imported the original files to your iphoto library.
