Premiere CC crashes upon file import (and everything else)

Premiere Pro user here for at least 8 years. I upgraded to CC, and am running into some very alarming crashes to the point that working on this project is absolutely impossible.
I have done extensive troubleshooting on my own, and I was so frustrated that I actually just completely reformatted my Windows 7 machine. Upon reinstall, I decided to rid my machine of basically everything except for Adobe Premiere. So I am working with a fresh install, and I'm still running into the same crashes.
DETAILS:
I have a big project that I'm trying to import with 80GB of video files. When I try importing them all at once, it hangs and then crashes. I am using two internal hard drives, one for Premiere and one for the video files. Premiere is running on an SSD, and my files are on a 7200 rpm SATA drive.
The odd thing is that once Premiere crashes, it seems to affect the rest of my PC. For example, after the Premiere crash, Explorer is very sluggish and I can no longer even open the video files independently in Windows Media Player. Sometimes Explorer won't open at all after the Premiere crash.
After about 10 hours, I was finally able to import all my files, but the only way I could make it work was to import 1 to 2 files at a time. And even after that, the program crashed constantly, to the point that the project was impossible to work on.
MY MACHINE:
-Windows 7 x64
-12 GB Ram
-Intel Core i7, 3.20 Ghx
-Nvidia Geforice GTX 570
-AntivirusL Microsoft Security Essentials
NOTE:
-I'm running Premiere as Administrator
Do you guys have any ideas on what could be going on? I'm kind of freaking out, since I haven't even been able to start the project yet, and I'm supposed to be wrapping up today. So if you can give me a hand, I would greatly appreciate it.

It is. No built-in graphics there to cause a problem.
Unfortunately, that was my only idea. There have been a flood of similar reports lately, but I haven't yet seen a reliable cause put forth, nor a solution.

Adobe Premiere keeps crashing upon start up and in the middle of edits.

I have been through some technical assistance with your team. But it seems I've found more on the forums in relation
to my computer and what I need to make sure is up to date and yadda yadda.
I open my project and it will crash consistently, annoyingly. It seems to happen with an AVI file.
Here's the video specs
Here's my hardware.
I'm up to date on almost everything else. Any tips for me to keep this app running and actually functional?
Thanks,

I have read through quite a bit of all of this info. I don't necessarily want to buy anything extra unless I absolutely have to.
It's a strange camera that's for sure, Emerson has no website or support online. I will see if I can find a disc or possibly
just plug the camera into this computer and see if it gives me the CODEC. What about GSPOT?
Is this specifically what's crashing my Premiere? I have yet to try anything without that AVI/MJPEG file yet. It seems that
it handles the 264 just fine, it's the silly MJPEG that's kicking my butt. I read that it may have been corrupted
somewhere along the way. If that's true do I need to just scrap the file?

Transfering files, settings, and everything else.

this is a pretty cut&dry question i suppose.
I'm planning on upgrading to a 24" iMac in the coming month. (Or should I wait until the new ones are announced? :P) I'm currently on my MacBook and was wondering if I'll be able to clone my MacBook onto the new iMac. I'll still use the MacBook for some stuff it's just that it's currently hooked up to my external drive and holds all my info and is used as if it's my desktop computer. I needed to get a new desktop and free this thing finally. It's an Intel based MacBook and I've upgraded to Leopard (got it as tiger) so I guess it shouldn't be a bother in that respect. I just want all programs, settings, and files/file locations/drives to be exactly as if I'm on here, when I'm all moved into my new iMac.
Will Setup Assistant accomplish all this? And what is the recommended hookup for fastest, safest transfers? Firewire? USB? Ethernet? or even using my Airport and local internet connection to setup a temporary network?

There is not so much worry when both Macs are Intel. The concern is when you try to migrate from a PowerPC Mac to Intel, which is the purpose of Kappy's User Tip Guide. That can cause issues if you transfer too much because of the chip and OS code differences. Your MacBook may have parts of the OS active that do not apply to the iMac because of the hardware differences, so cloning may not be the best route to take.
Using Migration Assistant should be very straight forward from the MacBook to the iMac. The setup Assistant will give you that opportunity as you follow the process when you first fire up the new Mac. If you already have the Firewire cable that Geordie mentions that will allow you to progress quickly and not have to run out and buy one. They are good to have on hand as you may need to fix something in the future if you screw something up. We all do occasionally! Something that sounded good on the fly does not always work out too well.

Premiere cs5 crashing when I import video files

For video files, just about everytime, it crashes upon initial import. I have to restart the program and then it will be fine until like 10 min later where it happens again.
Sorry, a Serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down

Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used this eSata Dock... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

File-import and there's no printer listed to scan from

I want to scan an image from my Canon MG5220 printer's scanner directly into Photoshop CS5 (recently got new computer and printer). Before I've always been able to go into Photoshop, select File>Import and i see the printer there. However this time I don't.
In system preferences i have selected that printer as the default scanner.
I have also installed the printer on my computer with its CD.
Any ideas?

Did you install the optional TWAIN plugin? If not, go download and install it. (but remember that it was made optional because so many TWAIN drivers crash)
And your scanner driver may be limited to 32 bit addressing mode. Try launching Photoshop in 32 bit mode.

I can't print. When I go to file-print, nothing happens. My printer is working just fine with IE and everything else.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

File/Import and Page Layout not working anymore

I have a question about old software: FrameMaker 6.0 on a Mac. (While Adobe encouraged me to purchase this in 2001 for the chemistry textbook I am writing, I had invested to much to abandon it when Adobe abandoned the Mac version a few years later.)
I have imported dozens of images files into the 750 page book and FrameMaker has accepted both tif and jpg formats. The way I did it was to create an anchored frame in the textbook, click on it, and then File>Import and select the image file and then choose whether I wanted it to be referenced or actually in the text. All of this worked fine... until a couple of days ago.
Problems
1. I no longer get Import as an option under File and
2. FrameMaker no longer recognizes tif and jpg files under "All Readable Documents" when I do File>Open. I have to click on Show All Files to see them.
As a result I am unable to import any tif or jpg files into the FrameMaker textbook.
What's curious is that I have 6.0 installed on both a G4 and a PowerBook and this problem has occurred on both at the same time.
3. And I just discovered that when I do Format/Page Layout the half a dozen or so custom formats that I had are no longer listed.
So what has caused this loss of memory for Framemaker that it can no longer do what it has done for me for years. (I am somewhat sympathetic to it's memory loss myself as a 78 year old user.)
The G4 has been unplugged recently but in the past it has been unplugged for a week or so and there were no problems.

I don't know if read-only files are recognized by FrameMaker to the point where it will dim commands that need to write to the files.
It's always a good idea on Mac to repair permissions with Disk Utility - make sure you have good backups, just in case.
Have you tried saving a file that can't import as MIF, then opening the MIF version to restore the file, and perhaps lose any corruption in it? This is called the "MIF Wash."
I think the latest Mac OS that FrameMaker can work with is system 9, or the Classic simulator that runs on the OS X release called Tiger. I'm sure you'd know if you changed operating systems in this period. Classic won't run on Intel Macs.
I have no other clues about what might cause this, except the general thought that something has changed on your systems or in the files you're working with. Does the problem persist in a brand-new file you create on your local drive? If you're working with FM files on a network, have you tried the process with files on your local computer drive? Have you quit FrameMaker and restarted your Macs? Any change? If you have a cloned bootable backup of your stuff from before the problem arose, you might want to try cloning your problematic drive to a new bootable backup, then restoring the known good clone, to see if it works.

You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:

- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

Ok.
Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.

HT201363 How do I set up a recovery email, if my Apple id and everything else is already made?

I need help, i can't remember what my security answers are to the questions. Apparently when i made my apple ID i wasn't smart enough to put a Recovery email. How can i set a recovery email up, if my Apple ID and everything else is already made.

TS5223 Updated to iOS8. I don't remember the password for my old Apple ID or the password for that e-mail. I can't delete the iCloud account without knowing it, although my iTunes and everything else is set to the new Apple ID and password. Help?!

I keep getting pop-ups telling me to sign in to my iCloud and it's very annoying. I have no idea what the old password was, and I don't really have a way of changing the old password because I also don't know my password for the e-mail address connected to it (it kept telling me that the answers to my security questions were wrong, but I'm not sure what other answers they would have been). Therefore, I created an entirely new e-mail and a new Apple ID and everything else is set to that ID... except iCloud. Is there any way to correct this, or am I out of luck?

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID*, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
* If that's not the case, you'll have to contact the Apple account security team and ask for assistance resetting the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. You'll have to be able to prove your identity to them before they will do this.

It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

My battery reads that it is 100% charged. However, as soon as I unplug it, it dies instantly. The battery lights are still functional, and everything else is working fine! What's wrong with my battery?
