Background music for iMovie.
I just upgraded to iMovie 11 from iMovie 9. What happened to all the songs that were available to use in iMovie 9?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

I just checked my iMovie and the stock background music is there. I found the by clicking he Music symbol " " and then clicked "Theme Music". I didn't have the older version iMovie 9 so I can't say these are the same music files. I would delete the app and download iMovie again. If this doesn't work. Delete the app again then do a hard reboot. Then download one more time. Hopefully this will correct your issue.
I checked my Music and there is no category called "Theme Music." If I delete the app, will it affect all my Events and Projects? They are backed up, but I don't want to jeopardize them in any way.
I may be misunderstanding you but the "Music" I'm referring to is an icon on the menu bar in the middle of the screen after you open a project. On my menu bar I see icons for adding: Video, Pictures, Music. They are arranged in that order. The screen above these three icons automatically shows by default the movie clips I have in my Photos. When I click the Music icon the screen above these three icons changes to say Audio and below it I have these selections: Theme Music, Sound Effects, Playlists, Albums, Artists, Songs.
I can understand your reluctance to delete and reinstall the program. Unfortunately that is the only way I know that might help. I hope someone else has an alternative for you.
I understand what you mean. I called Apple and was informed that iMovie 11 does not include Theme music any longer. The philosophy is to have user choose music from iTunes library or iTunes store. Bummer! There were some good instrumentals that I was going to use in a new project. The tech suggested I look for royalty free music online. I told him that I've spent 4 days doing that and haven't found anything I like as well. Oh well, change does not always mean improvement. Thanks for your help in all this.
Yikes! Glad you said that. I'm going to see if I can save some of the themes. I like them too. Thanks or the heads up.
