Why does the iMovie update now make it impossible to save in 640 by 480 ?

Just this week Imovie now wants to save / export my files in unusual formats instead of 640 by 480 - which is what I need to upload a longer video to Vimeo ( not Vimeo pro ) - Why has this been changed ?
( I do know that direct upload to Vimeo is possible - but sometimes I want to replace files - and that cannot be done directly )
Will this be addressed in an urgent update ?

That's too bad. You don't have a Time Machine or some other backup tucked away somewhere?
The new version of iMovie is a pretty complete re-write so a bit of three steps forward, two steps back in terms of features. Some may get added back with time but it's impossible to say when and if that may happen.
The easiest way to get back to what you were doing to find your self a copy of iMovie version 9. You can buy it on DVD from sites like Amazon.
Depending on what exactly you are doing you could see if QuickTime Pro 7 will do what you need.

There's als Final Cut Pro 10, but that's a $300.
What kind of files are you trying to produce?

  • Why does the iMovie update keep reappearing in App Store Updates although I have already installed it?

    I installed the iMovie update version 10.0.8 when it became available 4/24/2015 yet it continues to appear as a new update ready for downloading and installation. How can I get rid of this, or is it even necessary to do so? In my dock, it shows that I have a new update that needs attention. I've never encountered this before.

    1. Search "This Mac" in the Finder for outdated copies of the app(s) that keep being updated. Delete any you find. Make sure the search scope is "This Mac" or you may miss some.
    2. If the search results seem to be inaccurate, rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
    3. If the above steps don't resolve the problem, back up all data, then quit each app in question and uninstall it by following the instructions on this page. Alternatively, you can drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash, and empty. The data files you created will be preserved. Verify in Spotlight that there are now no copies of the app on your system. Download it from your Purchases history in the App Store.

  • Why does the backspace key now make the browser go back to the last page viewed, and how can I change that setting?

    When typing in a browser page to reply to a blog, when I pressed the backspace key to correct a typo, suddenly the browser went back to the previous web page. How can this setting be changed or turned off?

    This should never happen when the cursor is in an editing control, but it has always done that if the focus was on the page itself.
    Here's how to change it:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''backs''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.backspace_action''' preference and enter the desired value:
    * 0 => back (default)
    * 1 => page up
    * 2 => ignore (actually, anything other than 0 or 1 does nothing)
    OK to save the change. You're done.

  • Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.
    Regards.

  • Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
    You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Bookmark those for future use.

    Why does the Adobe Updater keep failing? I close my Webroot antivirus app and the update keeps failing for the Extension Manager 6.0.8 Update.

  • Why does the organizer update every time the program opens?

    Why does the organizer open every time the program opens?

      It normally updates if there are new images or edits which are picked up from the watch folder. The default watch folder is My Pictures+sub-folders.
     

  • Why does the last update force Windows 7 Home Premium to revert to Basic from Aero due to an "incompatible" program running in the background? Now I have blue s

    The message references PID 6192 and says Aero is incompatible with certain visual elements in the previous update. I didn't let it update to the most recent version today because I didn't see my problem addressed and I don't want more issues. I know have an ice blue bar at the top and bottom of my online screen as well as running behind the icons on the bottom of the desktop. I am strictly a computer "user." Help! :-/

    Is there a mention of what the incompatible program is?

  • WHY does the ICS update lags?

    Hello Sony,
    I recently updated the Xperia Arc S, to the ICS 4.0.3 update released by Sony. I was on 0.62 previously, and did a factory reset before as well as after the update. The laggy transitions, led me to do a phone repair too. The lags became less, but its not smooth at all. no where near GB.
    Just wanted to know the reason(s) for the problems...
    Please tell us if its any of the following, or something else:
    Case 1:
    The update is not supposed to be laggy at all, the test devices here at Sony work smooth.
    Request: Please upload a video of the final ICS update (similar to the beta videos), to show us what maximum smoothness we can expect. Also, if possible, give us a proper step by step procedure, to how to update our phone, to get the best possible performance out of it.
    Case 2:
    The ICS Rom is heavy resource demanding, and things will not get any smotther.
    Case 2.a: None of the further updates will solve the issue
    Case 2.b: The next updates will solve the issue, as the later ICS releases by goolge are beter in terms of resource management
    PS: The CM9 (based on ICS), ran very smooth on the Galaxy Ace (Tried it myslef). The HTC One V, runs ICS smooth enough (not as much as Xperia GB, but better than Xperia ICS)
    Thank You.
    Rick
    (Waiting for an answer)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks,
    Read that the day it was posted.
    They updated saying that those issues were taken care of...
    We we would like to clarify that above mentioned “challenges” have already been addressed by our SW engineering teams. For instance, we have not only optimised the RAM management by making the RAM usage for internal apps as good as possible, but we will also introduce a Performance assistant at start up when running ICS....
    We have also worked with quite a few partners in regards to architecture optimisations for SQL handling. In addition, we have also optimised the hardware usage. And as a result of this article, a number of app developers have notified us that they are evaluating if HW optimisation will be needed or not for their apps....
    But still the updte lags. Why? And can we expect some corrections to make it smmooth and bug free?

  • Why does the Firefox Update that I accessed keep running and not complete its task?

    The routine updates that Firefox sends to me have always worked just fine. Now though the latest update I have been trying to access just keeps running and never completes the task. The motion bar that shows the user that the update is running never stops. I have come back minutes later to find the motion bar still running. I have tried to access this particular update several times now and it always does the same thing; just keeps running and never stops.

  • Lightroom 5 already installed, so why does the CC updater give me the option to "Install"?  Seems it doesn't know I have it installed.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.  Okay, I'm going to take a risk and install it from the CC updater.  I checked the installed version I have and it's 5.0.  Not 5.5.  I installed 5.0 originally from the CC updater app so still not sure why it doesn't seem to know I have 5.0 installed already.  Every other CC app (photoshop, illustrator, premier pro, etc.) just lets me know when there is an update available.
    Anyway, I am installing 5.5 now from the updater so hopefully this will update the existing 5.0 that I have installed rather than install a separate 5.5 (meaning I now have 2 different versions of Lightroom on my mac).  And hopefully my catalog will be available and intact. 
    Will let you know.
    Thanks,

  • Why does the Micosoft Update slow down my computer?

    I run Microsoft's Autoupdater, which checks for and prepares me for updates every week.
    Unfortunately, it manages to do so at my expense!
    Usually, I catch it, but this time I didn't see the little window and I was distracted with some other, newer applicaitons I had installed (Kaspersky).   Sill me, I focused too long on the anti-virus software and neglegleted what has become a small nightmare, for me.  My bad, but still, should any background application be able to co-opt the whole system like this?
    How can I change the priority on Microsoft's Update application so that it can't pre-empt everything else?
    Is there some other way to tune or modify this app, without just turning it off?

    You can set the Microsoft updater to not update automatically. It can be set to update manually. Eliminates one issue. Second issue is get rid of virus checking software. You don't need it.

  • Why does the default update install add McVee Anit-virus, I didn't want it the first time?

    Everytime an update comes from Adobe the "Add McVee" is automatically checked. If I miss it, the update installs McVee and screws up my computer, I already have Norton and do not need nor want MCVee. I didn't want it the first time so If you can't have the default un-check that option I will have to find an alternate or some other .

    You can set the Microsoft updater to not update automatically. It can be set to update manually. Eliminates one issue. Second issue is get rid of virus checking software. You don't need it.

  • Why does the new update not recognize my new charger that i bought for my iphone ? it worked before but not anymore !!!

    i recently bought a new charger 2 months ago at best buy . (black friday sale) ! it worked so perfectly fine until today . i guess it's the new update ?! i don't really like it because the charger is a really good one . my warranty expired in december , and my charger burnt out like the other two chargers i had    ....

    Apple tried making it so iOS only allows "made for iPhone devices". You will have to get a different cable in order for it to work again.
    If you need just the USB section of it, amazon sells a nice cable, for a few bucks less than apple and it is a lot better made.

  • Why does the new update add a jquery-2.0.3.min.js file?

    So I updated adobe edge and instead of getting improvements I got problems. Whenever I publish my file it ads a jquery-2.0.3.min.js file that is so heavy that now my file is more 60kb.
    My file used to be 17kb.
    How can I change the publish settings so that I only have 3 javascript files=  edge.js, edgeActions.js, and an edgePreload.js
    Which were the original javascript files. It doesn't even publish a preloader anymore.
    What can I do?

    The old runtime used to depend on jQuery, however the new one does not. That's why on upgrade, jQuery is added as a dependency in the upgraded project as it might be used in the scripts. There are two options available:
    1. If you are not really using jQuery, then you can delete jQuery from the scripts section, preview and test the movie and publish. It will not have any jQuery dependency in this case. Please note that the new runtime has the support for basic selectors and some basic jQuery APIs (Adobe Edge Animate CC JavaScript API), if your use of jQuery is limited to these, then also you can get rid of jQuery dependency from the upgraded project.
    2. If you are using jQuery, then you have the option of using jQuery from the CDN. You can remove the local jQuery dependency and add a dependency by specifying a CDN URL for jQuery. We are looking for options to make this flow easier.
    Let us know if you need any other help.
