Q: iMovie 10 install failure

I recently loaded Mavericks and iMovie 10.  The install of iMovie 10 crashed and upon restart, it is filled with all of my media events, but when you select them, the media is not inside.  Also I have no projects from previous version.  I thought you use all your previous events and projects with the new iMovie?  I have found no way to reimport from the previous iMovie and I tried to delete the new iMovie and reistall but the store says I still have it.  Please help

OS X Mavericks (10.9), did not have a iMovie 10 option

    Hey there BryceBo,

     

    It sounds like you tried to install iMovie 10, but there was an issue when you ran the application and it was not showing al of your events and projects. You tried deleting the app, but the App store still shows it as in stalled.

    Here is what I would try next. Quit the App Store, and then with iMovie in the Trash, empty your trash and restart your computer. Then re open the App store and try to redownload iMovie again from the Purchases tab.

    When iMovie finishes installing and you open it up, you should be prompted to update your Projects and Events. If not you can manually update it from the File menu:

    1. Open iMovie.
    2. From the menu bar, choose File > Update Projects and Events.
    3. Press the Update button in the dialog that appears.

    To update projects and events stored on external drives:

    1. Verify that the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders are stored on the top-level of the drive.
    2. Open iMovie and choose File > Update Projects and Events.

    Updated projects and events are stored in a new library. In iMovie, you’ll see updated events listed in the sidebar and updated projects inside an event at the top of the list named Updated Projects. In the Finder an “iMovie Library” file is created alongside your original “iMovie Projects” and “iMovie Events” folders.

    same problem here.

    to resolve do this go to

    in the folders of imovie 9 (eventes of imovie, imovie projects, etc)

    there is a file with the name "UpdatedToiMovie10", delete that file and go to

    Imovie -> file-> upadte projets and events.

    P.S- It take some time you have to wait, DON´T STOP THE IMOVIE.
