Why can't I see my project in my Viewer window in iMovie 11?

Ever since I upgraded to iMovie 11 from 09, I can't see my project in Viewer window? How do I fix this?

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 see the calendar in list view with iOS 7.1?

    Since I've upgraded to iOS 7.1 I can't see my calendar in list view. When you click on the search button as you used to, it only works as a search rather than pulling up the list view.  If you search for a letter then you get a list of all entries that have that letter included but not the entire list of entries. I'm lost without this, how do I get around it?

    to the left of the search button in day view are dots with lines.  Click that.  You should see the list view.

  • Why can I not see my projects in time machine

    I have lost a project book and so I went into my time machine to find that projects wasn't there.
    What do I need to do to either find my project or for this not to happen again.
    Thanks

    Not sure how you're looking, but Pondini's instructions are pretty clear;
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    Basically, open a Finder window, navigate to where the file should have been,
    Then Enter Time Machine from the menu bar icon drop-down.
    Step back through the Timeline until the file you want is found,
    Select it and click the Restore button.

  • Why can't I see my template in Design view as it is?

    Hi Guys
    A couple of days ago I noticed that my template which I use for my website, doesn't show correctly while working in design view. Quite annoying since I now constantly have to save all and view in Chrome or Firefox or...
    Does anyone know how I can make my template show again as it should be?
    See my website here: http://www.bmgraphics.be
    And see the difference of the template layout on this print screen of design view:

    Hi Nancy
    I don't think that this still is a problem. Otherwise I guess, with my few experience, I would have already gone totally mad...
    At the moment it seems as if there is a source code separate from the CSS stylesheet which used to be in only one stylesheet so.
    I downloaded the template together with the stylesheet etc. and it didn't cause any problems until I started combining styles off course
    Btw, Jon, the validator really did it I guess! It seems as if there were some mistakes which are now solved and it looks better now
    Thanks!

  • Why can't I see thumbnails of .PSD's in Windows 7?

    I've always been able to see them in previous versions. Anyone?

    There are no "unsupported registry hacks" that actually work with Windows 7 x64 as far as I know.  People often post misinformation because they don't really understand the limitations and they extrapolate that things that work for one build of Windows will work for another.  And up through Vista x64 it was possible to run the 32 bit Explorer, but that's been closed off in Windows 7 x64.  Now a codec MUST be a 64 bit build.
    I have been using the first package John noted above (FastPictureViewer codec pack) for quite some time, and I like it.  Notably it provides raw file thumbnails as well as PSD thumbnails.

  • Why can't I see my podcasts in "List" view?

    Just upgraded to version 11.1.4.62.  I have 420 podcasts (from 3 different podcasts) and when I choose "Unplayed" view it shows all of the podcasts.  But as soon as I change it to "List" view, it only shows 3 podcasts from 1 podcast I'm subscribed to.  How do I get them to show up in the "List" view??

  • Why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?

    [DISCLAIMER: My question is short, but my details are not. This is going to be a LONG read, but I wanted to make sure I provided all you helpful people with as much information as I could so that I could receive the best possible solution. So your patience and assistance is greatly appreciated!]
    In iMovie [version 4.0.1], when I click on the Photo button to import pictures into my project from iPhoto, the following error message appears: "No photos were found. To use this feature, you must first create a photo library using iPhoto version 2.0 or later."
    However... I AM using iPhoto [version 4.0.3]... with a HUGE Library containing 2000+ images and several created albums. These features work just fine within the confines of that program. They just aren't integrating with iMovie correctly. So... why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?!!?!
    FIRST ATTEMPT:
    When I checked iMovie help, all it said was "You must open iPhoto at least one time on your computer to be able to access your iPhoto library from iMovie." I've obviously done this, having used the program plenty. Didn't work.
    SECOND ATTEMPT:
    When I checked this forum, the closest thread I could find that was similar to my problem suggested deleting the iMovie preferences file [com.apple.imovie3.plist]. It was later added that deleting the iPhoto preferences file [com.apple.iphoto.plist] as well had solved the problem immediately for that user. Tried it. Didn't work.
    THIRD ATTEMPT:
    When I checked the Apple Info site, their main solution was to try recreating the AlbumData.xml file which is used to populate the photo listing. Now this file can usually be found in the iPhoto library folder and I know how to recreate it. But THIS is where I think my main problem lies.
    Unlike most users, my iPhoto Library is actually located on an external hard drive under "my hard drive name"/Pictures/iPhoto Library. When I checked this folder for the AlbumData.xml file , it simply did not exist. So as a test, I created a new iPhoto Library also on my external hard drive but the AlbumData.xml file was not created with it. I opened up iMovie just to see if it was able to browse the iPhoto library properly. But it still didn't work.
    However, when I created a test iPhoto Library directly onto my Mac's hard drive, the AlbumData.xml file was indeed created with it. And when I opened up iMovie again... lo and behold, the iPhoto library finally appeared. It worked. But unfortunately, this solution still doesn't help me at all!
    Thing is, I don't have enough space on my Mac's direct hard drive to move my entire iPhoto Library there (where it works). That's why I am using an external hard drive to store (more space). So is there ANY way I can keep my iPhoto Library located on my external hard drive and have the library, albums and files recognized in the other iLife applications like iMovie???
    I feel I've tried everything, folks Could someone please please help me?!!?!
    [my specs are listed below if that helps any]
    Thanks in advance,
    a very disgruntled wizkid :\
    PowerBook G4 12" [1GHz, 256MB, 40GB]   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   GeForce FX Go5200 32MB, Matshita DVD-R UJ-816, Maxtor External Hard Drive [250GB, Firewire & USB 2.0]

    My main concern at this point is that the AlbumData.xml file is unable to create itself onto the External HD. When I view the file [that I created from my test iPhoto Library on my Mac's HD] in finder, it appears to be a Final Cut Pro type of extension. Is something wrong with my External Hard Drive in that regard? Is it just incapable of storing those file types??? Hmmm...
    As for the alias solution... instead of alias-ing the "Pictures" folder like you have, I've already tried creating an alias of the "iPhoto Library" folder on my External HD and placing it within the "Pictures" folder on my Mac. But when I tried to "Find Library" upon launching iPhoto, the prompt box would not allow me to choose the "iPhoto Library" alias I had created. So I couldn't open it.
    To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how to create an alias correctly... or perhaps I should try alias-ing the actual "Pictures" folder (like you have) rather than just the "iPhoto Library" folder, but I don't know how to do that correctly either.
    FYI... I am mounting my External HD before I launch iPhoto.
    Also, I have also tried dragging the AlbumData.xml file that I created from the test iPhoto Library into my active iPhoto Library folder residing on my External HD. It would appear to be in the folder, but as soon as I clicked somewhere else in finder and than back into the folder, it would disappear. Not sure how to "point to it" either.
    Karl, think maybe you could provide some hints on how to properly alias something or "point" to the AlbumData.xml file? I'd try it myself, but I don't wanna screw anything up by accident.
    PS. As stated in the post above, there's a possibility my External HD is no longer Mac OS formatted... at which point I throw my hands up into the air and scream!
    thanks for the tips thus far... everyone's so nice and helpful... I love it!

  • 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!

    loloboz
    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 not I see the name of a child process?

    Hi,
    I implemented a program for my project.
    My program has two processes. One is a parent process. Another is a child process.
    The parent process forks its child process. The child process is executed by execl() system call.
    The program code implemented is followed.
    === abbreviation ===
    switch(itmr_forkid = fork()) {
    case 0:
    RCode = execl("./itmr", "itmr", (char *) 0);
    exit(0);
    break;
    === abbreviation ===
    I executed the program. And then I pressed "ps -ef" on command line.
    [stp1ggsn1][user/shlim] ps -ef

    root 29403 29402 0 Mar 06 pts/0 0:15
    However, why can not I see itmr process name for the child process?
    When I executed the program for the parent process and the program for the child process respectively, I can see itmr process name for the child process.
    I tried to look for the cause. But I could not find out the answer.
    Please, give me your answer. Thank you for your answer in advance.

  • Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

    Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project.  I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there.  When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine.  But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing.  Help!

    Many thanks for the reply with the details.
    But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
    I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
    at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
    A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back
    can be found

    Looking forward to your reply.

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

  • HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

    Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

    Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
    Hope someone else might have a solution.

  • Why can't I see my external hard drive, Intel iMac / 500 GB, G-Drive

    Why can't I see my external hard drive?  I have a new iMac, Intel based i5, running Lion (2-3 months old).  I have a 500 GB G-Drive external hard drive that has showed up when connected to my iMac for the past 2-3 months.  Now it's gone.  It's NOT visible when using Disk Utilities.  I have all of the radio buttons chosen in the Finder Preferences.  I've unplugged and replugged in the drive, have switched the cable ports and have switched firewire cable.  The G-Drive powers up and whirls, so I don't believe the problem is with the drive. Yes, I set my Preferences to make sure ALL disk types are visible.  I've restarted my iMac on a number of occations.  I rest my SMC by totally unplugging my iMac for a minute, then plugging it back in. Any suggestions?

    Unplug the HD, Zap the PRAM, reconnect the HD, power it up, and see if that fixes the problem. If not, then maybe the HDs bitten the dust. Try on another computer to verify.
