sorry if iam posting too many images
but i really need help cos i need to use it for my school project

Go to Finder. Open MacIntosh HD and go to Applications. iMovie should be in there.

Thread moved to more appropriate forum. Please read before posting in Rumors & Reports.

Your screenshots indicate that you are actually storing applications out on your desktop.

To put it as politely as possible, this is asking for trouble.

Put them back in the Applications folder where they belong. Add icons to the Dock if you need access to these programs. That is what the Dock is actually *for.*

i put it back in my application folder
and i still cant open it??
please help

btw. my program icon does not dissapear
but once i open it
the main window of the imovie does not show up
PLEASE HELP
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

It sounds like iMovie is running, but there is no project open.

Notice the little dot next to the iMovie icon in your Dock:



That indicates that the program is active. For whatever reason, it doesn't appear that your project is open. Click on the iMovie icon in your Dock once more. Then click the File menu and choose "New Project".

If that doesn't do the trick, click on the iMovie icon in your Dock. Then press Command + Q on your keyboard to quit the program. If the blue dot stays next to the iMovie icon, it might be locked up. Press Command + Option + Esc to bring up the Force Quit window. Select iMovie and then click Force Quit.

Once you've gotten iMovie to quit, you should be able to reopen it and use it normally.

Good luck, and if this is your first Mac, I would strongly recommend you check into the One-to-One training at your local Apple Store.

nope this doesn't work

i've reopened my imovie several time
it seems like it is open(the top toolbar says imovie as in the second pic)
but the main window does not appear up
and no.. this is not my first mac
i've been using mac for 4 years now
never encounter this prob.
hope u can help
thank in advance

Did you quit the application or force quit it before attempting to reopen as I mentioned?

yes i did
i tried calling the apple help (for my country)
but they couldn't provide anyhelp =/
they tried to suggest that i might have moved my imovie window like out of the screen or to the corner where i'd only see a little bit of the window peek out
and they told me to take a closer look several time
and i was like.. im not that dumb...


i spent 40 mins on the phone and they couldn't even help me


please help
thank you

I'd suggest deleting the com.apple.imovie.plist file. See if that helps.

no it doesn't help
what should i do now
do u suggest reinstalling the program ?
or carry my notebook to an apple store?
i reallllyy need to use it in these fews days

Sometimes, it's difficult to troubleshoot a problem via correspondence. It's kind of like if your car is having a problem, and writing letters to your mechanic.

Yes, I think in this case, we've exhausted what we can do via the forum, given the limited amount of information you're able to provide. You might be better off taking it to a Genius Bar to see if they can help.

think i'll do that
thank you
