My IMovie won't share. What do I do?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
What happens when you try to share it?
Here are some diagnostic things that you can try:
Deleting Preferences
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 library.
Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Now see if your can share out.
New Project
Another thing you can try is to copy your media into a newly created project and see if
that cures the problem. To do that, do an Edit/Select All, Edit/Copy, of the
media in your project and then Edit/Paste it into the newly created project.
Safe Mode
You could also try booting up in Safe Mode (see Finder menu for instructions) and,
after everything loads, immediately shut down and reboot in normal mode. Then
see if iMovie works properly.
Updating iMovie
To update/redownload iMovie 10, drag your iMovie 10 app from the Applications
folder into the trash, but do not empty the trash. 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
10. Redownload/update iMovie from there. If not successful, drag your present
iMovie app out of the trash and return it to the Applications folder.
