Imovie Crashes when copying project/event to external

If I try and copy the project/ and event from within Imovie, Imovie crashes. If I copy them separately to external, it works. I'd like to do it together, as this way is too slow! This only happens on some projects, other copy without a hitch.
I will post the crash log next, if that will help.
External is Mac OS extended (journaled), and is Apple Partition map, although same problem when formatted as GUID.

I am clicking on the project I want to copy, and then dragging it to the ext. icon.
A window appears, and asks if I want to copy the project, or the project and the event. I choose the latter.
It seems to copy the project, and then crashes on the event. I can move them separately, without a hitch.

Imovie crashing when copying Projects and Events to external

This is driving me crazy. Imovie keeps crashing when I try and copy some of my projects and events to the external from within iMovie. I can copy the project and event files separately as a work-around, but it's taking me forever. These are very short movies, less than 3 minutes, and the original footage is from a Kodak zi6. I've already copied more than 40, and all went well. Now it keeps crashing.
Why can't I just copy from the Finder. It would be a LOT faster. I'd like to keep the projects/ events linked so that I can edit in the future, if necessary.
External: Firewire, Guid Partition Table, and Mac OS extended (journaled). Lots of free room on both drives.

I found the solution and just want to share with you...
1. I closed iMovie
2. I renamed my existing root folder projects and events by adding a '_' at the beginning of the folder name.
3. I copied all my content (projects and events) within the finder and not as normally recommended within iMovie from the internal to the new external hard drive.
4. When starting iMovie again the newly copied folder are recognized and it takes a while (depending of the amount of clips and projects) until iMovie is available after this start.
5. The events and projects are now shown in the new external harddrive and all files are accesible. Also all clips from the events are correctly linked in the projects.
I have tried this way since the normal decribed routine did not work on my iMac (iMovie crashed every time).

Imovie crashes when updating projects and events

I have updated to iMovie 2013, but when I try to bring all my media and project s into the new version, it crashes during the process. Has anyone else had this issue? Any

I update to 10.0.1 and it crashed updating projects/events. I follewed the instructions in the link "if updating is interrupted.." and the same thing. I get a "problem report" that starts with

IMovie Crashes When Editing Projects

iMovie 08 crashes while I am editing a project. It happens all the time now which is weird because I have made movies successfully in the past. I have 250g HD and 116g free space. The event I am editing is 62g. I am so confused and frustrated. I can't make any edits without hanging up and having to force quit out of the application. Any ideas?

"..Would I be able to import the project part that I export and delete.." ..You would, except that it'd be all "baked" into a single clip when exporting it, so although you could chop it up again once you'd re-imported it, your original edits wouldn't be there to re-edit.
(..In the previous iMovie HD 6 there's an option 'Burn Project to Disc...' which does allow a project to be exported in an editable format, but if yours is 62GB and a DVD holds 4.7GB or data, that's be several DVDs' worth ..oh, and I think it couldn't split a project across several DVDs..)
So if you'd want to re-edit parts later, your best bet may be to copy the entire project to an external FireWire hard disc (..preformatted to 'Mac OS Extended', using Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility..) and then delete half, or more, of the project that's on your internal disc, thus making the whole thing more stable.
(..To read more about formatting an external disc, click on iMovie Help and type external hard disc into the Search box; that'll give you a topic called 'iMovie: Format external hard disks as HFS Extended for best performance'..)
Continue editing what's left on your internal disc, or tell iMovie where you've moved your project to - onto the external disc - by clicking on iMovie's hard disc icon at the upper-right corner of the Events Library..
..at least, that's where iMovie's Help says you'll find that icon, but - honestly - I've never seen it there, even when I've had one or more correctly-formatted external hard discs connected!
(..To read about that in iMovie's Help, Search on move project and that'll give you the Help file 'Storing your video library on an external hard disk'..)
So; if subsequent editing's not important, just Export most of your existing project, then delete it from your internal disc. You'll be able to bring it back later in one chunk to complete the start of your movie.
If later editing is important, copy - or, better still, BACKUP - your project to an external disc, then tell iMovie where you've put it, and either continue editing on that disc, or delete half the project from the internal disc and continue editing on the internal one.
A Backup is extremely important anyway for a project your size: what would you do if your computer, or project, went wrong now, and you had no copy of your 62GB project?! ..Probably pull all your hair out, shout and scream!
Erm; how to combine the rest of your project - what you'll edit from now on - with what you've saved on the external disc? When you're happy with the remainder of your edit, Export it as a single file, and then add it to what you've saved on the external disc.
But for a project your size ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP!
P.S: As this is a big important project, test this first by doing a short Export of a short test project. Then check that you can recombine the two halves. Ensure that everything works well before you perform this kind of major surgery on your big project!

Final Cut 10.1 crash when copy/move events

Final Cut 10.1 crash or hangs up with spinning beachball when copy/move several events between libraries at once. The problem happens more often than not when managaging media in different libraries on same and/or different disks.
Move or copy one event at a time works, but not several events at the same time.
The problem occurs on an 21.5 iMac (mod 2010) i3, 12 Gb RAM, 500 Gb HDD with external WD FW800 disk, an 27" iMac i7 (mod 2010), 12 Gb RAM, 1Tb HDD with external LaCie FW800 disks as well as with a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2012) i5, 16 Gb RAM, 480 Gb SSD with 1Tb External thunderbolt disk.
Just checked one of the external drives that had problems with move/copy with Disc Manager and there were no errors.
/Casi

I tried the same thing with smaller (200 Gbyte) library and this problem didn't occur.
My guess is that something fishy was going on with the large (>1 Tbyte) default libraries during upgrade to 10.1 and therefore not found during test of move/copy functionality.
My own two machines are now upgraded to 10.1.1, but I have not dared to see if this work with an on-going project ;-)

I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems: When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen. Help!

You can split a project in two by doing this.
1) Go to the Project Library View.
2) Select your project, and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give it a name like "your project name - part 1".
3) Do this again. This time name it "your project name - part 2"
4) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the second half.
5) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the first half of the project.
At the end you should have your original project, plus the same project in two parts.

IMovie crashes when importing video

iMovie crashes when importing video

I agree with Keydogg. Here it is step-by-step.
Try a "File Import" instead of "Camera Import":
_ Quit iMovie '09
_ Create a folder in your desktop & name it "Flip_videos"
_ Mount your Flip camera to the Mac
_ Copy your video files from the camera to the "Flip_videos" folder in your desktop
_ *Eject / Disconnect* your Flip camera from the Mac
_ Launch iMovie '09
_ *Go to* "File > Import > Movies..."
_ Browse to the "Flip_videos" folder, Select "Create New Event"
_ Click Import
Let me know if that helps!

Imovie crashes when i try to view the video full screen or export it. How do i fix this?

iMovie crashes when i try to view the project full screen and export it. How do i fix this?

Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your camera roll again.

Mac InDesign CS5.5: can someone please check if variables do not cause crash when copied

Hello
There is a bug in Mac InDesign CS4 and CS5 which causes InDesign to crash if text containing a variable is copied. I am hoping this bug is fixed in CS5.5.
So can someone with Mac CS5.5 try this for me and report back:
1. create a variable, or use one already created by Adobe
2. insert it into some text
3. copy the text
4a. try pasting it into another part of the same document
4b. try pasting it into an external document, for example an Excel file.
Hopefully it won't crash and you will be able to tell me whether it is fixed or not! If variables do not cause InDesign to crash when copied then it might be worthwhile for me to upgrade to CS5.5.

These problems are rarely easy to debug.
It appears from your crash report:
5 com.adobe.PDFL 0x216ef8e3 PDDocGetMergedXAPKeywords + 86221
That the problem is in the Adobe PDF Library (not surprising, this is what reads PDF files) when getting "merged XAP keywords," whatever those are.
I believe the XAP: metadata has been superceded by XMP metadata, so this suggests your PDF files have corrupt XMP metadata, or XMP metadata that InDesign cannot deal with.
You might try running some of the preflights and fixups in Acrobat that relate to analysis of XMP metadata,
or simply removing XMP Metadata from the PDF entirely, again in Acrobat.
It sounds like this is a genuine InDesign bug (even if your PDF file was damaged, it should not crash ID!), so you should open a case with Adobe Support and get them to file a bug (http://adobe.com/go/supportportal). Optimistically, such a bug is unlikely to be fixed in time for CS6, so don't expect miracles. Think of it as making sure your bug doesn't hurt other people two years from now.

Frequent crashing when opening projects

10.5.8, LP 9.0.2, Mac Pro 8-core 6GB RAM
Logic frequently stalls/crashes when opening projects. This happens most often with projects that have lots of sampler instruments (primarily VSL), but some of the time with no samplers at all. The loading window generally hangs on Vienna Instruments with projects that have them, and on Space Designer with projects that don't.
The project this happens most frequently with is an orchestral template I'm creating. It has about 25 instances of Vienna Instruments (totalling 1.34GB worth of samples), a few channel EQs and one instance of Space Designer. Other projects that have caused the crash include about 10 native software instrument plugins, 1 Akoustic Piano and 10-15 native effect plugins. I consulted VSL tech support who said the problem was most likely with Logic. I'm inclined to agree, since the problem happens with and without any Vienna Instruments, and Vienna Ensemble Standalone has no problem loading templates with a lot of samples.
Does anyone have any suggestions to troubleshoot? Has anyone had similar experiences? Thanks.

Well, this has happened to me too. To the point where I've lost all the work, because Logic can't open the original project or the "crashed" copy it creates. Happened again with a new project I'm working on, albeit on a much more modest laptop system.
Annoying. Makes me think about switching DAWs...what else can you do if Logic can't be trusted.

It starts to cue and within 3-4 seconds, the program just crashes hard. As stated, I tried it on local hard drive and external. Same result...
In the destination backup folder, it will copy over one folder, no images.
Thanks ahead of time.

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:
http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
I hope you'll post here with your results!

Adobe Bridge crashes when i open a Lacie external hard rive. Started when i uploaded Yosemite?

Adobe Bridge crashes when i open a Lacie external hard rive. Started when i uploaded Yosemite?

Finder crashes occur both on my MacBook Pro (4,1) and MacBook Air (2,1). There is very little in common between the hardware of the two systems except the Santa Rosa processor. One has HDD and the other SSD. One has 6GB in DDR2 memory in two dimms and one 2GB DDR3 soldered. One has an 8600M and one a 9400. One starts a bunch of apps at login and one starts nothing. And so on. Since it happens on different kinds of systems, it's definitely not a hardware problem with certain specific hardware. And I'm pretty sure I saw a report from someone with a MacPro.
I've looked at a lot of finder crash logs. A number of them seem to happen when something (memory or an object) is being freed and an error occurs. This causes an abort and the finder is killed and restarts. Not exactly a "crash". More like controlled flight into the ground. The other cases are probably not catching the error and getting seg faults, so those actually are crashes. Unfortunately, the place this happens seems to be different every time but usually related to finder or AppKit.
I suspect a memory corruption bug somewhere. I've pushed my system by opening and closing
folders, scrolling up and down, and opening and closing subfolders, and once the problem happens, it is usually reproducible for a few minutes (or a few repeats of the action that caused the crash).
Then it will often "magically" start working or a slight variation of behavior, e.g., opening a folder directly vs. using a finder window sidebar alias (or vice-versa) will work.

Work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying over to photoshop

work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying items over to photoshop, then when re-opening the illustrator file it gets to the end of reading the file to open then quits again? this keeps happening!

afrill,
It seems that you file has become corrupted.
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error -occurred-pdf2dtp-file-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:
