Why does my iMovie 11 sometimes turn black while replaying videos and then crash?

After editing parts of my video i go to replay it and the video turns black. The mouse then changes to a multi-coloured spinning CD and Imovie exits. Please help me as this is stopping me from completing my video!

Yes.  And, Apple needs to work on this.
It is terrible because it is random and there is NO WAY to just select and get back the button or the choice.
Come on Apple.
Cheers,

    Then new version of IMovie imported nearly all of my video and then  suddenly closed.  Now it won't recognize the video that it stil hasn't  imported?  I took the sd card out of the canon camcorder but still won't  recognize or import it.  Is there a cache that needs cleared?

    Did you get any joy with answering this?
    My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files  in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
    I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

  • Why does a movie or TV show stop during play and then takes you to the main ATV icon screen?

    This weekend while watching a movie it stopped and went directly to the main ATV screen?  Also while watching TV shows I witnessed the same issue about halfway through each.  Also, when returning to the movie or TV show it acts like the first time viewing and does not give you the option to resume playing.

    Same issue, just cuts out to black and then goes back to the home screen.  Happened about 4 times while watching one TV show. I'm using Software version 6.0 (6646.65)

  • HT1430 Why does my iPad shut off about every 1 minute and then comes back on?

    Why does my iPad shut down every minute and then come back on ?

    Try to reset your settings... Settings--general--reset (at bottom of list)--reset all settings
    Try an iOS software restore

    Otherwise you may need to have apple repair the device

  • Why does my 3rd generation iPad freeze on an app and then go to the home screen immediately?

    Well, my new iPad closes the application and goes to the homes careen. This has been happening on my iPad 2 recently but then I bought the 3rd generation iPad and it does the same thing but more often, Can somebody tell me if this is normal and if it isn't can I send it back and get a new one? And if I get a new one will it do the same thing? Thank you sooo much!

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in apps, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • Why does my iPod make a bloo-bloo-bloop noise and then start playing random tracks from the library  instead of the playlist?

    This happened once before and seemed to sort itself but I was teaching my class and it kept doing it in the middle of tracks in the playlist. Should I restore and then reload everything?

    That sound is either shake to shuffle or a "Your-music-is-corrupt-error".
    I believe Apple has a support article on this issue. It means the iPod has encountered an error with your files. You will need to restore your iPod. If the trouble is persistent, there might be a problem with a singular file you will need correct this issue. If the problem still exists take it to an Apple store

  • Why Does Mavericks 'Display' Show Two Black Bars During Video Playback?

    Hey guys. So I'm at college and I've been watching a bunch of movies on my Macbook.
    I own a 24-inch monitor where I play the movies through, as I connect it to my Macbook Pro 2012.
    When I was on Mountain Lion and I'd play a movie, the video playback would take up the entire 24-inch display screen perfectly.
    But now that I've updated to Mavericks, every movie including YouTube videos are stretched and small with two HUGE black bars on the top and on the bottom. I've tried changing the 'Display' options but it still remains the same and it's bugging me out so much that I may need to go back to Mountain Lion just because of this.
    Does anyone have any advice and may have suffered from the same issue? It worked perfectly on Mountain Lion but now it makes the videos look stretchy.

    Most YouTube content requires Flash ..  You're using Safari to view YouTube?
    If so ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try a video.

  • Why does my Ipod 4 Generation speakers stop working randomly and then start back up again?

    I have heard that this problem has happened to alot of the 4 gen ipod users. Is there any way to complain to apple or get a refund? Becuase an ipod is suppose to play music, that's what it's good at, but if it cant even do that then no point buying the ipod really.
    It's been happening the day I got it, i even updateed it but still carries on.

    Hey there gillly,
    It sounds like your iPod Classic is not playing back your music correctly. You should use the following article to help resolve the issue here, named:
    iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Start by resetting your iPod, and work your way through the article as needed:
    Reset
    To reset your iPod:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Why does itunes match get stuck on the 2nd step and then cause itunes to crash?

    hello. I have been having an odd and annoying problem with itunes match for the past few months. Everytime I launch itunes, match comes on and starts working but then crashes in the second step. It says that it is matching my songs with the songs in the itunes store and when it gets to about 4500 out of 4600, it stops and then a pop up comes up that says itunes has stop working and it needs to close. In addition, i just tried to add some new music to my library and it's cloud status is "waiting" and will not change. Oddly, A few of the songs did load (only 7 out of 48). I have tried restarting the computer and updating match in the itunes store. I even uninstalled itunes and redownloaded it. This is getting rather frustrating and help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

    YES.
    I posted a question about this in another thread and it got no responses.
    It's not the internet connection.
    I also have an iPhone 4. My Match library is quite large.
    When it gets hung up like this, you can look at the download status in the iTunes Store app and it will show "Processing..." as the status on those stuck files. The others just sit and wait.
    If you delete the stuck downloads, it won't successfully download those files (not for me at least) unless you restart your phone.
    I don't have the answer, unfortunately.

  • Whenever i use Safari or play some video, my browser shuts down automatically. It turns black for few seconds and then homescreen appears.. I am encountering this problem after updating my ipad to IOS 5.. Kindly help me guys. Thanks.

    Guys need your help, as i am newcomer to this community.

    Update:
    I have since gotten rid of the Asus Motherboard and the OCZ Memory.  I swapped them out for a Biostar motherboard with an Ati chipset and PNY DDR3 1333Mhz memroy.
    I was quite confident that the motherboard was causing all of my problems, mainly due to the fact that i have another computer in my house that is running a quad-core intel core 2 duo with an intel chipset and I don't have this problem at all on my other system.
    After I did the swap I made sure to install all of the latest drivers and after everything was complete I logged on to facebook and i was able to play Fishville with no problems.  BUT, as soon as I loaded Cafe' World my computer instantly shut off.
    I have been monitoring my temperature with the pc probe that came with my motherboard and my core temps NEVER go above 48 degrees Celcius.
    I know for a fact that this isn't a heating issue.  Something is not right and I wish someone here at adobe could try to point me in the right direction, take the time to look at what all I have tried and give me a creative point of view on this.
    The only thing that is not new in this machine is the hard drive.. and I know that isn't the problem because I tried a new hard drive already and it didn't fix it.  So I took it back, as I didn't need it.  There has to be a compatability issue with adobe flash player and some component in my system somewhere.. Its making me crazy.
    I have never come accross a problem on a computer that I couldn't fix and this is the first time I have ever had to ask for help and I don't feel like I am getting any help whatsoever from Adobe.
    At least Microsoft stayed on the phone with me for 2+ hours and TRIED to help me resolve this issue... to no avail.

  • Why does my iMovie keep crashing?

    I am trying to make a movie, and it has happened atleast 10 times now, that everytime i open IMovie, it works for abou 5 minutes and then crashes. What can I do to stop this?

    It may well be that iMovie 8 version 7 is not fully compatible with Mavericks. iMovie 11 version 9 is ok but not sure about version 7.

  • My macbook turns black while active, my macbook turns black while active? why does this happen?

    My Macbook turns black while active even if sleep mode is not active. it turns on by moving the track pad? Whats wrong with it?

    The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
    Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
    If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Why does my imac get a black screen when switching on

    why does my imac get a black screen when turning on, and logging in is very slow.

    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Let us know if these  procedures don't solve the problems.
    Hope this helps
