iMovie is not sharing!

I am trying to share my project, but when I click share > file, or YouTube nothing happens! Literally nothing, I tried exporting to my desktop to see if the file icon pops up as loading, but nothing.


Can someone please help with this?

Hi,


Try booting up in Safe Mode (see Finder menu for instructions) and, after

everything loads, immediately boot up in normal mode. See if that cures it.


Also, you can try opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command

keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will

open in a new empty library. Reopen your old library to get back to your

projects. Now see if you can share out properly.


If neither of the above procedures solve it, try redownloading iMovie. To do

that, drag your iMovie app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do

not empty the trash. Then sign in to the app store and open your purchases

folder by clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. You

will see your purchases displayed, including iMovie. Redownload/update iMovie

from there. If not successful, drag your present iMovie app out of the trash

and return it to the Applications folder.
