Why can't software designers leave the user interface of software alone and concentrate on making it more stable and quicker you ask?

How I Fixed My Problem Of iMovie Videos Not Sharing or Uploading With Youtube

I've had a number of increasing problems with iMovie for some time.  It would share some videos to YouTube with no problems, then the next one or more would fail. It would process the videos as created in iMovie but then not upload them.

Thankfully, I have found a repeatable and consistent fix!


Here is the youtube video I've made explaining the issue and how to fix it.

If you find the video helpful please give it a thumbs up and share it.

How To Get Back Deleted Bookmark Folders In Mac Google Chrome

RED ALERT

IF YOU HAVE COME TO THIS PAGE AS YOU HAVE JUST DELETED A VITAL FOLDER BOOKMARKS FOLDER FROM APPLE MAC X VERSION OF GOOGLE CHROME, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES QUIT CHROME UNTIL YOU HAVE WATCHED THE VIDEO BELOW.  IF YOU QUIT MAC GOOGLE CHROME IT WILL BACKUP YOUR BOOKMARKS WITH THE MISSING FOLDER AND IT WILL BE GONE FOR EVER.  IF YOU HAVEN'T QUIT CHROME THERE IS STILL A CHANCE TO FIX IT, JUST OPEN ANOTHER TAB TO WORK IN.

IF YOU OPEN SAFARI WHILST CHROME IS OPEN YOU MAY ALSO GET THE SAFARI CHROME ERROR FOR WHICH A FIX IS LISTED ON THIS BLOG.


Whilst not paying attention I accidentally deleted a useful bookmarks folder from my Apple Mac Google Chrome, I wasn't concerned just a quick 15 second mouse click would solve it, or so I thought.

However, if like me you thought you could just go to the edit menu and select UNDO to get it back then alas we are wrong.  As with a lot of todays software, the software engineers seem to have spent so much time on the fancy things whilst removing the basic that actually make sense (sorry old software engineer rant ;-) LOL.

So things were much more complicated, tedious and time consuming.  Is it just me or are others getting fed up with typing in a search to Google etc which returns hundreds or thousands of alleged results only to discover they are sites that list other sites, that list other sites, that may or usually haven't got a solution.

Also, when I think I've found a solution, quite often I discover the solution or video they present is missing some vital steps or actions which the developer must have done to get a solution, thats assuming they did indeed find a solution.  I've had a few moans that my videos are too long winded, that I should edit a lot more, but as a trainer and lecturer I have always believed in showing people how to do things, warts and all.

As describing some of the actions for getting your bookmarks back from Mac Google Chrome, would be confusing or misunderstood I decided to make a new video.

Below is the YouTube video of how I got back my deleted bookmarks folder, step by step so hopefully you can do the same.

Just don't quit Google Chrome until you've backed up the 'bookmarks.bak' file.
