Hi,
Updated to iMovie 10.0.5 using OS X 10.9.4 and have not been able to share my movies at all. The button does nothing and the drop down menu does nothing as well. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still have the same issue. I was not able to find a resolution from the community. Any help would be much appreciated. Making movies isn't that useful if you can't share them. Thanks!
iMovie '11
Try logging into the app store and closing and re-opening iMovie. That worked for me when I was having the same exact problem.
Thanks, just tried that. No luck. I spent 2 hrs with an apple genius the other day. We tried everything we could think of including repairing permissions and reinstalling OS. Also tried deleting iMovie using superuser mode and reinstalled, and also deleted files associated with iMovie in /Library and /System/Library, still no such luck. It seems to have started around the last update but there is no way for me to roll back updates with apples app store. Really frustrating because I spent several hours editing my movie and now I can't do anything with it. There is no option to export anything else that might be useful in this situation.
I'm having the same problem. I can't even export to my desktop. If I restart iMovie will it still save my project?
Exactly the same problem here !!
I had this same issue. The apple genius managed to fix it though!
Turns out, I happened to have too much on my Desktop. It was explained to me that OSX tries to keep things in memory if they are on the desktop (so that they are readily accessible when needed). This means when you start to have more than 500 MB on your desktop, you can experience slowdowns. I had over 4 GB on my Desktop, and we believed that was a contributing factor, causing it to simply not have the memory it needed.
So, we moved all my junk off the desktop, and then reinstalled iMovie and restarted just to be sure. Works fine now.
Thank you for this post. I have the same problem using iMovie 10.0.5 on Mavericks. I moved a folder from the desktop (I had a folder there with 20+ picture files in it) to an external drive. I closed iMoive and reinstalled from the app store. When I opened the program, my project was there and the share button worked allowing me to save the file.
Hey there, I had this same issue when I upgraded to Yosemite. I spoke to an Apple Care member and after trying all sorts of things, it turns out that just creating a new library did the trick.
In iMovie:
File -> Open Library -> Create new Library (give it a new name)
You can cut and paste all your clips and events in to the new library and you're good to go.
Good luck!
I still cannot share my projects anymore. Does anyone know if this bug has been fixed yet?
Thanks!
Were they able to fix this problem? Did someone tell you how to?
Please!!!!
I'm having the same problem but mine..
if i try to save it to a file it just shows a white paper and not the video..
so it won't covert either.. helpppp!!!
not heard of them yet. very frustrated still! =(
this didn't work for me. Glad it did for you! Hope apple comes with a patch to this bug soon!
silverfoxx1972, you da man! I've been looking around for weeks for a solution. This worked great for me and I thank you!
Are you working out of your hard drive? Just wondering because another event besides the IOS and iMovie update, was that I switched my libraries to an external hard drive. Not sure that this should matter though. =(
do you share to file or iTunes? so it's working again for you? Just wondering if your new library is on the hard drive now.
Still frustrated on my end...
Thanks!
imovie 10.0.5 share not working
