iMovie keeps saying 'Turn on iCloud Drive' even though it is on

Unfortunately I'm experiencing the same problems on my Mac after upgrading to EL Capitan

I am experiencing this issue as well.

Until Apple gets its act together....

Here is a tedious workaround has worked several times today for me, resulting in the desired movie showing up in the iMovie file on iCloud drive and in Theater on Mac, iPad and iPhone.

On the Mac:

Select the desired file to be transferred to Theater from the iMovie Library

File

Share

Theater

This gets the movie to show in the Mac’s iMovie Theater but not to iCloud and the iPad/iPhone

Now, still on the Mac:

Select the desired file to be transferred from the iMovie Library

File

Share

File

Uncheck the “Add to Theater” box

Next

Save as (add the file name to the text box)

Select iCloud Drive

Save

Allow the file to export.

Move the exported file to the iMovie folder on iCloud Drive

On the iPhone or iPad:

Open the iCloud Drive app

Open the iMovie folder

Select the desired movie file

Click the Share icon (square with the upturned arrow)

Select Save Video

Open the iMovie app

Select Video

Select the desired Movie

Click the Share icon

Select iMovie Theater

Add the name of the movie to the text box

OK

Now the movie is exported to Theater and can be seen on the iPhone and iPad

Lots of steps to do what should be just a couple of steps, but if you need a movie right away in Theater, give it a shot.

yes, this is my problem as well, just bought the upgraded iMovie, so notifed Apple I had a problem with download of app when receiving my reciept of payment, because I thought it was a problem with the app,,,,so will wait patiently as many others are as well!

WE should all write a comment to Apple within the iMovie app from the file menu. I did so yesterday. There is a feedback option in the file menu.

I'm also having the same issue, have tried several of the things suggested in other posts but nothing works.

Have filled in the feedback form to Apple, suppose just have to wait now, so frustrating

I did it just now 🙂

I have the same problem.

"Turn on iCloud Drive in iMovie", I am told - it is on.

All the un-checking/cheking and restarts does not help.

On Apple TV I have 9 movies. In iMovie (on my mac) I have one (the latest). In my iMovie folder on my mac I have 10.

No syncin' going on.

I see that I'm not the only one with this problem! Very frustrating! All but one of my iMovies are gone, and I've tried turning "iCloud drive" off and back on several times.

I just went to my iMovie app again (still only one older movie showing there) to post a comment, as you suggested. Almost all of my "options" in all of the pull-down menus are greyed out. Did not see any available place in the iMovie app to leave a comment. Is there another place to leave a comment about the iMovie fiasco to Apple?

Thanks,

Here's the link to send your feedback to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Same issue here.

I'm having this problem too - any word from Apple yet?

I've heard nothing from Apple. I sent a bug report to them through iMovie feedback earlier today and will post a reply here if one is received.

Same problem here in Denmark

Same problem here.
