Why did imovie disappear from my Mac?

This is the second time that imovie has simply vanished. I must be getting old because I cant remember how I recovered it the last time. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Disregard! I found the answer. I had save the program in an external hard drive and my toe accidentally shut it off.

  • Why is Imovie not free anymore ?? And why did it disappear from my Mac ?

    I do not understand why would it disappear

    Open Mac App Store and look under your purchases tab. If your Mac shipped with Snow Leopard or earlier than you can reinstall iMovie from teh Applications disk that came with your Mac.

  • Why did colorzilla disappear from my laptop and why doesn't Firefox allow it to download?

    I used the zoom feature on colorzilla quite a bit, but now it's disappeared from my laptop. I googled colorzilla and got a link to www.colorzilla.com. The download link took me to www.colorzilla/firefox, and a "firefox prevented" notification appeared.
    Is colorzilla not recommended by mozilla/firefox?
    thank you

    hello kmarble, this dialog is just a standard security measure that you can confirm and will show up on every third-party site which offers to install an addon - you can also download colorzilla directly from [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/colorzilla addons.mozilla.org]...

  • Why did Pix disappear from PE 8??

    I had several thousand pix on my laptop--all taged, dated,
    many edited.  Suddenly, PE 8 shows no pictures.  I didn't click on anything or change anything.
    No Pictures.
    Fortunately, the computer is fully backed up, and the pictures are there in "My Pictures."
    I uninstalled PE 8, then reinstalled.
    Now it is bringing in all my pix.
    But what happened?  This has never happened before and I was in a short time panic.
    I probably lost a lot of tags since I hadn't written them to the files recently.
    I have used PE  # 2 though 8 and have 9 on my desktop (temporarily since I don't like it).
    What happened, and what should I have done?

    I have the same issues, and it has happened twice. When I upgraded to IOS8 on my old iPhone 5, I DID NOT lose my purchased tones. When I purchase a new iPhone 6, none of my Tones transferred from my iPhone 5 backup, not only that, when iTunes upgraded to be compatible with IOS 8 and Yosemite, I lost all of my Tones I purchased under IOS 7.X and the old iTunes. When I upgraded to IOS 8.1, they were lost again. So I purchased some more and lost them as well. I see the Tones in iTunes, but I cannot get them to copy to my iPhone. I'm getting pretty sick of loosing my tones. At $1.29 a pop, the costs start to add up after a while

  • Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

    Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

    Hi Jdireen,
    As someone who uses the iLife applications on a daily basis on my Mac I can understand how it would be upsetting to have them disappear suddenly. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
    You can download the applications again and reinstall them from the Mac App Store - 
    GarageBand - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id682658836?mt=12
    iMovie - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imovie/id408981434?mt=12
    iPhoto - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381?mt=12
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Camera service has disappeared on my ipad 2, how do I find it and why did it disappear?

    My camera icon is still visible but when I click on it, the service (take pictures) has disappeared, how come? where or how do I find it? why did it disappear?

    It should be 'on' - if it was 'off' then the app woud be hidden and you wouldn't be able to access the app from your homescreen.
    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Help! Why did everything disappear?

    I was changing the fill on a shape I drew on a new layer, when suddenly everything I had done before disappeared and I now have only one layer with one frame.  What happened??  And can I get everything back?  I had a layer with a static photo, a layer with a symbol and simple motion tween (swoop in from left), and a third layer I was working on.  There were 36 frames in the file.  Now, Layer 1 (with one frame) has the photo and the shape showing.  I've been all over the forums and support looking for a clue.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!!

    Hi Matt!
    Thank you so much for replying to my question ‹ I¹ll be able to go back to
    my Flash project later this evening, and I¹ll be able to answer these
    questions.  Is there some reason that two or three layers would disappear
    and only Layer 1 would remain?  Is there a ³flatten² type command like in
    Photoshop?  Thanks again!

    Subject: Help! Why did everything disappear?
    Were you working on the tween inside of an object?  It sounds like you have
    an object that has 36 frame that's sitting on frame 1 of the timeline.  Whe
    n you were manipulating your tween, or shape, or whatever on layer 3, you
    clicked out of your object and are just looking at your main timeline.
    If you deleted the graphic object, you may have deleted the work you did...
    Can you name the files in your library, the type of object they are, and a
    description of what each object contains?

  • Can I move an ongoing imovie project from my mac to another mac?

    I would like to move my ongoing imovie project from one mac to another and then continue working with the project. Is this possible? If it is, how do I do?
    /Caro

    You will need an external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Then you will move the Project to the external hard drive from within iMovie.
    See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613
    Then you will use the File/Consoldate Media command to move everything else.
    See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9
    You can edit on the new Mac from the external drive, but if you prefer, you can move everything to the new Mac by using the same instructions above.

  • I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

    Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5?
    Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again?

    do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
    I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
    do you regularly make backups?  if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
    It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again.  Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone?  If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

  • I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

    I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • Why did edit disappear on latest update on my iPad mini ?

    Why did edit disappear on my iPad mini after the later os update?

    That depends on how it is configured in the app, PJL. You can set it up to include the trash icon and go directly to Trash. Both my gmail and icloud accounts are set up that way.
