when i try to import media into iMovie from my iMac desktop, the iMovie software shows nothing in desktop even though there are many files residing on my desktop. I've tried closing iMovie and reopening by holding option and command keys, but still nothing.
Thank you but perhaps I'm explaining wrong. I have jpg and movies files residing on my desktop that I would like to import into iMovie. When I click on the import media icon in iMovie it shows many folders located on my iMac, one of them being Desktop. When I click on Desktop, there are no files to select. It looks as if there is nothing on my Desktop even though there are.
That's correct. The iMovie software does not show items that are on the desktop. Any media imported into iMovie is stored in the Original Media folder (a Finder folder) in the iMovie library, for each specific project or Event.

O.K. I see what you are saying.
You should be clicking on the "Desktop" item in the import pane. Your screen shot shows that you are clicking on "RonsiMac" instead.
