I can't seem to add music to my Imovie

Hello,

I was trying to add music to my iMovie but every time I try it shut downs my add and says that there is an error that I have to reopen it. I reopen it and it does the same thing again.

Assuming that you are using iMovie 10.1.6, try restarting your computer and launching iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys, and then selecting to delete preferences from the box that appears. Then try to insert your music.


If that fails, try doing an Edit/Select All, Edit/Copy of the media in your project and paste the media into a newly created project. See if it functions properly.


If still no luck, try opening iMovie in a newly created user account. You can create a new user account from System Preferences/Users and Groups. You also can use the Guest account on your Mac for this purpose. After you open iMovie in the new user account, see if you can add your movie without the app crashing.
