Garageband freezes (app not responding) when trying to open iTunes library

This is a new thing for me. When I open a new podcast episode, as soon as I try to access my iTunes library Garage band gives me the spinning ball and the media browser gives a Loading iTunes music sign and that is it.
I'm really stuck. Have tried repairing file permissions and deleting Garageband preferences but I'm stuck and I really really need to put a show together!

[In case this helps anyone else] The culprit was an avi of a DivX of an episode of Desperate Housewives (the wife.....) that I had tried to change the aspect ratio on to get to work with my new DivX dvd player using MPEG Streamclip. Who knew? Just removing that dumb file from My Movies causes everything to start working again.
Thanks again

  • Keynote not responding when trying to open Power Point downloads

    I'm downloading power point presentations from my university website and trying to open them with Keynote. It starts to open it up then just stops about a third of the way through the progress bar. The activity monitor says that keynote is not responding. I tried restarting my MBP, but did not work, keynote seems to be working fine when I start it on its own, any help appreciated.

    Come on, I'll try to help.
    At first I confess that I also had trouble opening the files I had in Power Point. One of them even have 1500 slides. But in Power Point opens quickly, because most are text.
    My solution: I opened the file in PowerPoint 2008 and saved it as "pptx". This is the latest version of pp. After I opened the keynote. The first time it takes to open and then gives some errors. It's just you solve, the error sources and images and save to "key" (keynote).
    I think it is. At least for me it worked.
    Sorry for English. I used a translator.

  • IPhoto not responding when trying to rebuild permissions library

    I did the latest OS upgrade about a month ago now and nothing has been good with my iMac since.
    Please help!!! iPhoto not responding during photo library permissions repair process. Cannot get access to 10 years of family photos. This process is systematically erasing my four childrens childhoods from my picture library.

    Seriously, how can anyone help you with that amount of information?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Getting error "Object variable or with block variable not set" when trying to open a FR report in studio

    Problem Description
    We are on FR 11.1.2.2.305 installed on AIX. a user is getting this error: "Object variable or with block variable not set" when trying to open a FR report from FR studio client installed on windows xp . Initialy, we thought it may be a FR client installion issue. We uninstalled and cleaned up registry and did a fresh installation of the client but the issue still persists. The FR server and the client are on the same version.
    The user is a LDAP user who is facing the issue. We have confirmed with other users and they dont have any issue accessing FR report from their own client but when they try to connect from the users machine who is having issues, the others users also see the above error. All the users are ldap users and all belong to same shared services groups so the provisiong is the same.
    Any input will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
