TOPIC When I click play, iMovie unexpectedly quits with a type 12 error. DISCUSSION iMovie will quit with a type 12 error (see Figure 1) if the Control Strip extension is not present in the Extension folder. This can occur when you improperly disable it by using the Extensions Manager control panel or by dragging it to the Trash, or if it was not installed by the default Installer. The proper method for disabling the Control Strip is to use the Control Strip control panel to turn it off. Figure 1 Alert dialog. If the extension is not active, you will also receive an error message when the Apple DVD Player is opened (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 Apple DVD Player alert dialog To resolve this issue, enable the Control Strip extension in the Extensions Manager control panel or custom install the Control Strip from the Mac OS Install CD. To perform a custom installation of the Control Strip software, follow the steps as shown in Figures 3 - 6.
