Why doesn't iMovie 10.0.6 allow me to increase number of thumbnails for videos from my iphoto library?

In iMovie 10.0.6, it gives me a small thumbnail for an entire 10-minute video that is in my iPhoto library. I can't figure out how to make it show the lengthened version of thumbnails so that I can easily find and select the clip I want. Videos imported directly into iMovie provide this option, as they always have. But iPhoto videos do not.

It should run once (for a long time) but after that it should be quick. It sounds like there could be a permissions problem so that it cannot save the thumbnails file so it has to recreate it every time.
The first thing I would try would be to run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
There may be something else in the archives on this. I'll see if I can spot it.

  • Why can't I select a video from my iPhoto library to send via email?

      I send a lot of photos and used to send videos but now I can't select a video like I do a photo in the library.    I have a newer hard drive and use OSX version 10.5.8 wihich I believe is Leopard.  I've updated all that is available.  Any suggestions?

    Can you directly redowload it directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
    The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs.  That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
    So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

  • IMovie 9.0.6 doesn't recognise videos in my iPhoto library anymore after update

    Just updated iPhoto & iMovie and now iMovie wont recognise the videos in my iPhoto library and there is no simple way of importing them.

    How do I trash the iMovie Preferences File? and Why?
    Also, sometimes iMovie will not see your iPhoto, or your Aperture, or your iTunes. This can also be fixed many times by trashing the preferences. In this case, look for a preferences file called com.apple.iApps.plist
    Many times people will suggest that you trash your preferences because it is the easiest thing to do. You want to try all the easy stuff before re-installing OSX, for example.
    If iMovie is still working, go to iMovie/Preferences and note your current preferences so you can easily re-enter them later.
    To trash your preferences, close iMovie.
    Then open the Finder.
    Press CMD + SHIFT + G or, if you prefer,  'Go > Go to Folder' in the top menu.
    Type: ~/Library/Preferences/     (Note: The Tilde ~ is on the uppercase position on the key to the left of the number 1 on your keyboard)
    Press Go
    Drag the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file and/or the com.apple.iApps.plist file to the trash.
    Next, empty the trash.
    If you trashed the com.Apple.iApps.plist, then open iTunes, iPhoto, and Aperture so they are pointing at the library you wish to use in iMovie. (You can then close them.)
    Finally, restart iMovie.
    Remenber to go to iMovie/Preferences and re-enter your preferences. Be sure to enable the Advanced Tools.

  • Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
    I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
    It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

    Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

    Apple has not released a new model of iPod touch since the A7 processor was introduced. When Apple will, or indeed if they will, is as lllass said not something any of use here would know. We'll just have to wait and see.

    I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list.  I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

    After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

  • Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)

    Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)?

    If it's already in iTunes, you can reconver the video to an even more friendly iTunes format using iTunes' built in converter.  Highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the menu bar.
    When the video(s) has/have finished converting, configure them to sync to your iPod.

  • Why doesn't iMovie import video directly from the iPhone 3GS

    We here quite frequently that Apple offers a better overall experience than the competition because they make the whole widget... I was SHOCKED to discover that iMovie will NOT recognize my iPhone 3GS... Doesn't Apple make both products and their OS's (Yes, I know they make both)?
    iMovie imports video from my FLip HD just fine... This is very disappointing... And yes, I figured out how to do it... Import it to iPhoto, export it as a .mov and import it to iMovie... This is crazy, Apple!

    What I find shocking is that if you open iMovie and select "Import from Camera..." the iPhone doesn't show up.
    For further clarification, I have turned off the option to open iPhoto or Image Capture automatically when a camera is attached. I don't that option to import photos from my camera because they are automatically imported to my computer via the eye-fi card in my camera.
    I do expect that when I open iMovie manually and select to "Import from Camera..." that the iPhone will be recognized as a camera. My FLip mino HD is recognized and it is awkward to then have to open iPhoto, import the movies, export the movies and then import them to iMovie to modify them and move them to my Apple TV.
    I have provided Apple my Feedback on both their iPhone and iMovie sites.

  • Photos from my iphoto library are just green in imovie - Why?

    I just bought iMovie 10 and I am using maverick. I imported a project from iphoto to imovie and started to work wih clips and photos. But now most of my potos are just green
    see below:
    Why?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • Why doesn't it say none when I am setting up my apple id for billing because I don't have a credit card or gift card at the moment

    why doesn't it say nome on billing when creating an Apple ID because I don't have a credit card or gift card

    Hello Lai5c,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to create a new Apple ID with no credit card attached. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Support
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
    If you're using the store for the first time with an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method. After you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
    If you're creating a new Apple ID, you might be able to create an account without entering your credit card details.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Why doesn't iphone offer most basic features that I can enjoy on any simple device from Nokia or Samsung?

    For example:
    1 - Sending photos, videos, recordings over bluetooth to any other device. Is it so difficult?
    2 - Forwarding sms messages
    3 - inserting a contact number in an sms
    4 - Assigning any sound file to a contact
    these are the first ones that spring to my mind, I'm pretty sure there are more of such lacks.I've been using an iphone 4 for like 5 months already, and i really like this phone, but got to admit that it lacks many things and sometimes it drives me crazy. Why have I paid 1800 turkish liras (about 900 euros), then?

    Difficult? No. But it's never been a feature of the iPhone. Probably in an attempt to reduce or at least contain music piracy.
    2 - Forwarding sms messages
    3 - inserting a contact number in an sms
    These are easily done.
    4 - Assigning any sound file to a contact
    Once you convert the audio file you want to assign to a contact to a ringtone, this is simple. It should take no more than about 2 minutes to do this once you know how. There are a number of free apps that can do this directly on the phone, or you can do it on your computer and sync the ringtones back to the phone with ease.
