Issue or symptom
When attempting to use the Share feature of an iLife application, you are unable to send the media between the applications because an unexpected error occurs.
Examples:
- When attempting to share or export a slideshow from iPhoto, an alert message appears, "An error occurred while exporting the slideshow. The export movie file could not be created."
- When attempting to send a movie from iMovie to iDVD, an alert message appears, "The movie could not be sent to iDVD, because of an unknown error. Please make sure that iDVD is properly installed so that your project disk has write permission and that you have enough disk space. Error 0".
- When attempting to share files from iMovie or iPhoto to iDVD, the iDVD project opens, but will not save. No alert message is displayed.
- When attempting to share a movie from iMovie to iTunes for use on your iPod, an alert message appears: "Movie could not be sent to iTunes because of an unknown error. Error 0".
Solution
Make sure that you have the following folders in your home folder, and that you have read/write permissions for these folders:
- Documents
- Music
- Photos
- Movies
If these folders are missing or renamed, you may not be able to send media between iLife applications.
