After Quicktime dowloads, it freezes half way through.

I made a QT movie (size 640x480, H 264, K frame 24, frame reorder: yes, D rate: 2.30 mbits, sound: IMA 4:1 mono, about 76MB).  It runs fine on my MacBook. I uploaded it to my website, it was then sent through an email and downloaded to another MacBook Air.  it looks clear and the sound is fine til half way through, then the screen freezes and the music stops, the little dot though still moves along the bottom of the control bar, as if it is still going. Tried downloading again and teh same thing happens in the same place. This happened with another video as well.
Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions BigMak
This is likely not a preference issue, but just to be sure, when you deleted the preferences, did you delete all of the preference files as I detail in my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly?
More likely this "freezing" (as opposed to crashing) is a problem with full Recent Items and/or AutoSave folders or a corrupt font. There are three articles in the User Tips Library dealing with Recent Items.
Dale Gillard - AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?
Dale Gillard - Recent items not visible/updated
Yvan Koenig - No More Recent Items
The most frequent cause of AppleWorks quitting during start up is a corrupt font. In watching the AppleWorks start up window, do you see where it was when it crashed? If my guess is correct, it would be during "Building Font Menu." First, look for a font named Bauhaus 93. This font is installed by versions of Microsoft Office before Office 2004. The Bauhaus 93 with Office 2004 is not corrupt. If you don't find Bauhaus 93 you'll need to go through the trial & error of locating a corrupt font. Using the OS X Font Book is not reliable when it comes to finding problem fonts affecting AppleWorks.
The trial & error method of corrupt font isolation involves moving all of the fonts from the various font folders to another folder (the Desktop is a good place) & then moving a few back at a time & trying to launch AppleWorks. When it crashes you will know the culprit is in the last bunch.

  • Why does the video freeze half way through my movie and the audio keep going?

    Why does my movie freeze half way through and the audio continues?

    Most likely this is due to running out of virtual memory. You can reset virtual memory by restarting your Mac.
    Long term you may want to consider purchasing more memory.

  • ITunes freezes half way through CD download?

    Hi,
    I have been trying, without sucess, to download music from CDs. The download starts and a little more than half way through the download, iTunes and everything else freezes. I have yet to get through a complete CD. I have tried removing and reinstalling. I even tried to just download one song at a time (the ones that didn't originally download) and it freezes half way through that download as well. I am able to download from the iTunes store without any issues.
    I thought it was my memory on my PC, so I deleted a ton of stuff and now about half disk free space now available.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • Rented movie freezes half-way through?

    This has happened to me several times. A rented movie will pause about half-way through playing and then refuse to play any more. I ignored the problem before, but am working on a movie review for school and really need to get this fixed! There is no error message, the movie simply freezes and will not progress past a certain point.

    1. You can only download purchased movies again for free if you live in the U.S.
    2. Not all movies are available for free downloads a second time
    3. Only certain movie studios allow this

  • CS4 rendering and the audio is fine but the video freeze half way through

    Hi I need your help
    I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on a MAC,
    We have a project that is using multicam editing of footage from 2 cameras. the footage is fine in the timeline when you move through the time line the footage is 2hours 20 min when edited.
    When rendering this out it takes about 9 hours when you play footage back it stops at the 43 min mark the audio continues but the video freezes on the frame for the rest of the footage.
    We have rendered a small clip 5 mins ether side of the footage where this happens and the footage is fine when played back.
    Do you have any ideas as to what I can do
    Rodney

    Rodney,
    The first thing that I would look for would be a gap in the Video, and especially in that 43 min. range. Even a 1 Frame gap can cause issues. I find that gaps can be tough to spot, even when the Timeline is zoomed into the frame-level. I use the keyboard shortcuts, PageUp & PageDn, to step through the Clips. The CTI (Current Time Indicator) should jump smoothly from Clip to Clip. If you encounter a little hiccup, or pause, you have likely found a gap. This is the first thing that I would rule out. If there are no gaps, then something else seems to be happening at that 43 min. mark.
    To rule out another possibility, though a remote one, are you Exporting to an external HDD, that is perhaps formatted to FAT-32 (max file size ~ 4GB), which is the normal format for an external to go between a Mac and PC, as the Mac cannot yet use the NTSF format. Like I said, this is not very likely, especially as your Audio keep playing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Rented Movie Freezes Half Way Through It

    I had to rent a movie twice because I didn't finish it within the first 24 hours (which is completely stupid by the way) - I tend to rent movies to watch them on the plane and can't finish it so I have to rent them twice if I want to finish it. Anyway, the second time I rented it, the video froze about halfway through the movie. The audio kept going, but the video was stuck on one frame. The only thing that I think could have happened was that wifi probably dropped while downloading and 3G picked it back up. Since I downloaded it at a hotel with free wifi, they make you log back in every day in order to use their wifi again, so that's why I'm guessing this is what happened. How can I ask for a refund on this second rental? Also...how can I tell apple to test this and fix it? or does posting this on this forum do the trick?

  • Keynote won't convert to quicktime... freezes up half way through

    Need help with converting keynote 6.1 presentation to QuickTime.  Half way through it is unresponsive for the keynote program.

    Sorry I actually have version 10.9.1.
    I was able to talk to a apple specialist their 2 possible answers were:  1. It is the way that I was saving the file... ie... "presentation 1-1-14".  The "-' (dashes) are considered a special character which complicates the ability for the program to convert correctly. 2.  My file content may have been "corrupt" so that could have been the cause of converting the file correctly.  This resolved my problem.
    Thanks for the suggestions!

  • Audio cuts out half way through video after conversion.

    I just put together some video clips I've shot into a single video, then ran it through conversion. Half way through the completed video, the audio cuts out for the rest of the film. Yet in iMovie, it's still there. I've converted twice and it cuts out in the same spot. Could corruption in a single clip, kill the audio for the following clips? Since it takes hours to convert, I thought I'd ask before deleting the suspect clip and starting again.
    I've spliced together clips before without problem, using the same camera source.
    Thanks.
    Cheers

    I figured a work-around. From the clip where the audio cut out till the end, I dragged those clips to a new iMovie project. After converting, the sound was intact for that portion. Then I opened the complete version with audio cut-off in Quicktime Pro. Deleted the the half with audio loss. Then joined the new half I just created. Voila!
    Only when I went to post the video on my vlog, did my Internet connection die (Comcast strikes again).

        I'm sorry to learn that you have endured the audio issues outlined in your post for almost 2 years SusanLM1! This is certainly not normal! Let's get to the bottom of this issue, first please confirm your phone model; your mention that you have the iPhone 5 but your post is on the iPhone 5S forum. Also, share the iOS version currently installed on your phone. What is your ZIP code? Does this happen mainly while you make/receive calls from a particular location (home, office, etc)?

  • BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next?

    BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next as the phone is in a complete non working condition

    Spent hours trying everything suggested and finally this morning hit on a solution. iTunes must be run as an administrator. Even though you are logged into your PC as an administrator, using the iTunes shortcut does not make you an administrator in iTunes. I found this out by using the diagnostics in iTunes and reading through the results report.
    I am using Windows 7, so I clicked the start button and right clicked on iTunes and selected "Run as an adimistrator". The first restore attempt got the 4013 error. I then did the DFU thing, hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds, release power and continue holding home for 10 more seconds.
    iTunes gave me the restore message and I clicked it. I clicked the restore iPhone button and it started. The drivers loaded a couple of times. I got the apple logo with the progress bar and this time instead of disappearing, it started to fill in.
    End result, a successful restore to factory settings and a happy 14 year old.
    Hope this helps others.

  • A movie i purchased does not show up in  the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through

    a movie i purchased does not show up in  the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through.. help!

    I totally agree, I am not going to discredit your comment as everyone is entitled to their opinion as I am BUT, I will not bad mouth other members, especially since  may have not have written my initial statement in a logical manner so Ill try and answer them in order to your response.
    1. I DO LIKE iTunes in general and on the whole  BUT I dislike the new update, iTunes 11, it has completely buggered everything up.
    2. Prior to the update, everything worked brilliantly, including Apple TV. It was user friendly and was easy to use. The new update is counter-intuative and is hard to find, fix anything and as I have had to find out at my cost, reset my Apple TV and start downloading all over again. So let me reaffirm, it is iTunes11 I find hard to fathom, not the old iTunes.
    3. No I am not a developer but I have been using PC's for over 20 years so I do know how one works.
    4. Good Question about who would help me, again, it is someones opinion against someone elses. One day, I may write something that generally people agree with, another they may not, depends on the subject.
    5. " I do not love Apple" ?yet I have an iPhone 4s, iPad and Apple TV, find that an illogical comment!
    6. I have made a General Search on the forums on the subject and the general consensus is that the new update is one update to far.
    7. Oh, I am not a genius otherwise I would have solved the issue in the first place!
    Just to re-iterate, I am not bad mouthing Apple in general, all I am saying is that iTunes 11 is one update to far and I am not the only one saying it.... some have gone a lot further than I have, again, their opinion and who am I to argue with them as I have an opnion as you do and I will most deffinatly not bad mouth a member because I disagree with them for the above reason, debate it, yes, not belittle them.
    Hope these have cleared up my initial statement?

  • I'm running Lion on a Late 2008 MacBook Air.  With no other applications running, I can no longer Check for Software Updates.  It gets abut half way through the checking process and then freezes.  The MBA passes Disk Utility. Thoughts?

    How long do you leave it?
    Mine can sometimes sit for quite a while (maybe 10 minutes??) before it finally finishes.
    You could look at the relevant logs via Console (Utilities folder) to see if Software Update is complaining about anything.
