since lion update, i can't delete imovie events when in imovie. i get an error that says insufficient access priveledges. i've check them and they are fine. i can delete if i go to the folder in finder, but its kind of a pain. any ideas?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7)
There may be other permissions involved, a way to double-check is to go to Applications>Utilities> launch Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. This might catch any randomness that is left over from the Lion upgrade. See if iMovie reacts any differently after the repair.
no dice...but thank you very much for the tip.
Are the video clips being stored on an external Hard Drive by any chance? You may need to ignore the ownership privileges on the whole hard drive volume including the enclosed folders. This can happen sometimes with external HDDs.
nope all on my mac HD. this may be related to a similar problem i'm having in aperture, also have thread going there. basically if i try to veiw my aperture library from itunes (iphone sync) or iphoto, i see my entire aperture library but no photos or folders added to aperture after the date of the lion update. are photos, movies etc possibly stored in a new area with lion?
In your home folder, the videos are in your Movies>iMovie Events folder. All the Events are collected up under that single Events Folder. And as for Aperture, I don't use it so I don't know where it keeps that Library. I assume it's similar to iPhoto where it keeps the iPhoto Library in the Photos folder.
Does it refuse to delete on Events you have created since the Update? Or is it doing it just with Events created prior to the Update?
refuses to delete event created prior to the update.
other note is that a bunch of new events were created. then are "imovie temporary....302934294723947...." when i select them there are no videos associated with them.
can't delete iMovie events
