Why can't I edit or play any of my projects in imovie '11?!!!

I've had this problem since the latest Apple software update. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It's very fustrating. I had a project I was working on and now I can't open it. Even the other projects that were already done and exported can't be edited or previewed. I can only hear audio from some of them but that's it. And when I try to start another project, Im not able to view or edit that either. PLEASE HELP!!!!

   Nevermind. I figured it out. I deleted all the video clips in the Event Library below. And everything seems to work fine. It's unfortunate that I also had to delete some of the incomplete projects to do so but hey I'd rather have iMovie '11 working again than purchasing another program.

  • Why can't I edit in Photoshop any more

    I reinstalled both LR4.2RC and Photoshop CS5 on a new drive. But now I can't seem to edit in Photoshop from LR. Am I doing something wrong? It worked fine before (except for getting the "Render in Lightroom" thing because of the differnece in process versions). Using Windows 7 Prof. Cntrl E no longer works and Edit in Photoshop is grayed out on the drop down menu. Both work independently just fine. A setting in LR perhaps? Thanks for help.

    Hi ,
    We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
    Assuming that you are using Windows machine please follow the steps below:
    On Windows, try the following solutions in order:
    Solution 1: Uninstall and reinstall Photoshop.  Any information that was damaged since Photoshop was installed is re-created.
    Solution 2: Re-create the Photoshop.exe application path registry key.
    Disclaimer: This procedure involves editing the Windows registry. Adobe doesn't provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure to back up the registry before editing it. For more information about the registry, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft.
    Exit Photoshop and Lightroom.
    Choose Start > Run. If you do not have Run listed, see What happened to the Run command?
    Type "regedit" (without quotes) in the Open box, and then click OK to start the Windows Registry Editor.
    Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\.
    Right-click the App Paths folder and choose New > Key.
    Type "Photoshop.exe" (without quotes) as the name of the new key, then press Enter.
    Right-click the Photoshop.exe folder and choose New > String Value.
    Type "Path" (without quotes) as the name of the new value, then press Enter.
    In the right pane of the registry, right-click the (Default) value and choose Modify.
    In the Value Data field, enter the location of the Photoshop.exe file on your computer. Include Photoshop.exe at the end of the path. For example, if you installed Photoshop CS5 to the default location, enter C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop
    CS5\Photoshop.exe. If you have a different version of Photoshop or have installed to a different directory, change the path as appropriate.
    Click OK.
    In the right pane of the registry, right-click the Path value and choose Modify.
    In the Value Data field, enter the file path for where the Photoshop.exe file is on your computer. (This path is the same as you entered in step 10, except omit Photoshop.exe from the end.) For example, if you installed Adobe Photoshop CS5 to the default location, enter C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\. If you have a different version of Photoshop or have installed to a different directory, change the path as appropriate.
    Click OK.
    In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

  • Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3?

    Hi All
    Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3? I got an exception that 'Decoder is not available' when I played m4a file on windows xp sp3(it didn't work on vista either), but it works fine on windows 7 , so I guess Javafx media player needs some system dependencies or resources when it plays media files, do you have any suggestions for this ?

    To allow playback on Windows XP, you need to install the correct software in addition to JavaFX.
    Once the system has been upgraded to meet the minimum requirements for playback of a particular type of video encoding, then playback should work fine.
    See the JavaFX Media portion of the JavaFX 2.2 System Requirements:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/system_requirements_2-2/jfxpub-system_requirements_2-2.htm
    Note, m4a is just a container file and data streams inside the container format need to match a supported JavaFX format for playback to work:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/media/package-summary.html
    Some approaches you could take:
    - additionally encode the media in VP6 format and fallback to VP6 playback if H.264 playback fails.
    - use a 3rd party player like VLC.
    - don't bother supporting Windows XP video playback.
    - direct a browser to a divx install page if playback fails (http://www.divx.com/).

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

    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.
    Yours Bengt W

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Provided that you moved the ENTIRE itunes folder...
    Quit iTunes from under the iTunes menu (by the apple), or hold CMD and press Q.  Then, hold Option on your keyboard and click the itunes icon on your dock.  Continue to hold Option and you'll see a popup where you can select "Choose Library".  Navigate to, and select, the itunes folder at its new location.
    If you didn't move the entire itunes library folder, you'll have to be specific about what you did.
