imoviehd any ideas?
 

hi

after following all the steps i was wondering what you all thought of the last terminal output and such any possible suggestions if this might be fixable?? I am kinda stuck


thanks for all very much for everything

I'm still not sure what is going on - I don't understand how you could have gotten the output you showed in post#16.

So let's try again with some different commands to try to understand better.
Please open up another Terminal window and then copy & paste the following (re-revised) commands and then press Return - and then copy & paste the result back here so we can see:


find /Applications -maxdepth 3 -type d -name 'iMovie*.app' -print -exec ls -ld {} \;
echo "-----------------"
find /Applications -maxdepth 3 -type d -name 'iMovie*.app' -print -exec ls -l {}/Contents \;
echo "done"

terminal outputs
 

hi

from the first one:
myles-PowerBook-PP-15:~ myles$ find /Applications -maxdepth 3 -type d -name 'iMovie*.app' -print -exec ls -ld {} \;
/Applications/iMovie (previous version).localized/iMovie HD.app
drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin 102 May 31 06:51 /Applications/iMovie (previous version).localized/iMovie HD.app
/Applications/iMovie.app
drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin 102 May 31 10:42 /Applications/iMovie.app

ok thanks much hope this yields some good info

I just don't see a problem. The program at /Applications/iMovie is iMovie '08, while /Applications/iMovie (previous version)/iMovie HD is iMovie '06.

Las_Vegas, I think you must have missed this earlier in this thread. It's not just confusion about iMovie 7 vs iMovie HD 6. iMovie 7 won't launch for photo2000a. I would just reinstall at this point.

imovie reinstall
 

hi


thanks all for the help

Very early in the thread i mentioned that i had tried re installing from my disks, but same issue

thou it seems to launch something gets it hung up i was hoping that i t might be a corrupted .plst or something but i dunno

was really hoping that i could run it but not enough to redo the drive.

might be something simple like a corrupted file it is looking for /using


but i do appreciate your taking a swing at it thanks much

imovie??
 

didn't here any suggestions after a while just wondering if anyone might have some suggestions?


thanks

Launch the "Console" application (under /Applications/Utilities) and look for relevant error messages. Note that messages are labeled with the date & time so you can use that to locate the part of the log to look at. Copy & paste the relevant messages back here so we can see them.
Be sure to look at system.log as well as console.log (Use the "Logs" button (top-left) to see the various logs available - note that you will probably need to be an "admin" user to see the system.log)

If the log refers to a crash log, press the "Logs" button (top-left) and go into the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter section to find that particular crash log. Copy & paste back here the last portion of that crash log - the part that gives details about the last crash (or preferably attach it as a plain text file, using the "Manage Attachments" button at the bottom when you reply).

imovie logs
 

hi

i ran imovie waiting a while till the icon stoped bouncing in dock, it 'seems' like it's running but won't show up on screan it's like it's perminately hidden

it dosn't show up as not responding

the logs of which i searched all shows no error messages and no imovie entries

you'd think there would be some entry

i wonder if i get a standalone imovie disk and try to copy/install it from that if it'd work


thanks much

Does the iMovie menu bar show up?
I.e. what does it say at the top left of your screen when you launch iMovie?

imoviehd
 

hi

nope, it dosn't show up on the top menu bar

the menu bar shows what ever was last on the screan before /during/after launching imovie it never shows up

imovie thoughts
 

does this shead any light on the potential issue?

Sorry - I don't know what is going on with your Mac.
I'd try removing the troublesome copy of iMovie and then reinstalling (again) from the DVD that came with your Mac.

tnx
 

ok not sure why everyone keeps not hearing'' me when i say i've done that many times, so reinstall didnt fix the problem that was like the first thing i did on my own when that didn't work i posted here cause i couldn't imigane what could do that

what i wonder is if someone put it onto a cd wonder if it would launch from the cd or still be hung by something on the mac root drive i'll have to try that one day


but i am greatful for all the time you spent looking at this free lunch if your ever in nyc or westchester just pm me


thanks again for the help !!

Given the misunderstanding between the different versions of iMovie earlier in the thread, I can't say that you've inspired me to confidence. I mean no offense. Could you please detail (and I mean detail) the steps that you took in trying to reinstall iMovie 7 (the one with the star icon that comes with iLife '08)? Start with inserting the disc, tell me what you clicked on, which installer you ran, which options you checked (if any), and everything else up to ejecting the disc.

found the problem
 

i happened to upgrade my mac came w/2 upgraded to 4g
ram


now all of a sudden imovie08 snaps right open

duno why it wouldn't work w/the stock 2g ram, since i had no other stuff running


thanks to all that helped never woulda thought of that
