I updated to the new operating system and now iMovie will not open. I also have problems with other programs such as Quicken and Adobe Priemier. Anyone else have these issues? Is there any repair available?

What OS are you now running and what version of iMovie did/do you have?
I have Mac OS X 10.7.4
iMovie 9.0.6 (1763)
I found the answer to the iMovie crash. At least it worked for me!
In the Finder, navigate to the "Go" menu. Select "Go to Folder". Type in "/Library/Quicktime" without the quotes. This will take you to the "Library" folder which is hidden in Lion. If it's installed on your machine, you should see the 3ivxvideocodec file in there. Drag it to the Trash. Hope this fixes the problem!
this fixed my problem... thank you for posting!
WOW! - After searching and searching - trying many different solutions - this worked! THANKS
I was so happy to find this easy fix, but in my Quicktime folder, the only two files are:
/Library/QuickTime/AppleIntermediateCodec.component
/Library/QuickTime/AppleMPEG2Codec.component
In my case, this is the first time I have ever launched iMovie since a clean install of Lion. The app seems to launch, but then it just has a spinning beach ball.
That worked like a charm! Thanks man!
Thanks, that worked for me as well.
Thank you so much, it worked for me too! This was a life saver.
This solved my problem. Thank you, thank you. I had this problem on my MacBook Pro and needed days of tech support and it is still janky. I will try this on my other equipment now.
