Aperture 2 freezes upon scrolling through project

With the recent update, it appears that Aperture now freezes as I am scrolling through the previews for a project. It displays a blank white box in the middle of the screen like it was supposed to be a dialog but then I get the spinning beachball. This same bug appears on my iMac as well as my brand new Macbook Pro. I don't believe I had this problem prior to the latest Aperture update.

You're welcome.  Here's some more.  Should give you some ideas .
... and so on.  The radial menu is fast once you get used to it.  And, imho, quite clever:  I'd _much_ rather have context-sensitive radial menus than the silly stacked text menu we have now.
I highly recommend watching (and taking notes) from all 14 of the videos done by Rebekka Strauß.  [Edit: number of videos corrected.]

  • Acrobat Pro 9.0 freezes when viewing/scrolling through the table of contents of a document

    I am hoping someone can help me or has experienced the same problem I'm about to describe. I belong to the technical publications group of a fairly large company and I review a lot of PDF documents. I just installed Acrobat 9.0.0 (via CS4 Design Standard) and I've noticed on larger documents where there's a full page or several pages worth of Table of Contents, Acrobat 9.0.0 seems to freeze up when I begin scrolling through the TOC. For example, if I want to use the Text Edit tools or use a sticky note, when I press on an icon, Acrobat will freeze for a good 10 seconds, then will allow you to press the icon. It tends to freeze each time I want to make my next edit or even pressing the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next page. Once I get through the TOC pages, Acrobat seems to function normally--no freezes.
    Has anyone experienced this? Would appreciate any kind of advice on how to fix--perhaps there's a patch or update?
    I didn't experience any of this using Acrobat 8.0--I never had any real problems with Acrobat until 9.0.0.

    Your issue may not be related to a difference between v8 and 9.
    I have not had this problem on my computers, but a coworker had this issue. For many documents that others were able to open and scroll through without issue, his computer was freezing and unfreezing.  IT determined his graphics capabilities were not able to keep up with the requirements of working with larger documents and gave his computer a RAM upgrade and a new graphics card. Particularly during scrolling, higher demands are made on the computer to graphically render and re-render page content. Documents giving him problems before became a non-issue.
    A new graphics card is obviously a $$$ solution, but you might want to check to see if your RAM meets the minimum requirements and check to see if there are any program updates (Help > Check for Updates).
    I have had an issue of pdfs freezing, but not specifically in the table of contents areas. If your document has pages with images that have an unusually high number of layers, it may affect the ability to work effectively in the document.

  • Scrolling through videos freezes Front Row

    I have many home videos in iTunes and thus Front Row. When scrolling up and down the list of videos in Front Row, I see the thumbnail sized videos begin to run. Eventually Front Row freezes when scrolling up/down through the list. Remote doesn't respond, keyboard and mouse do not respond and ultimately I have to either remotely logon and kill FrontRow.app or reboot. I know that all of these videos are playable without error using the QT player and in iTunes so the files are OK and furthermore are playable in the thumbnails again the next time in FrontRow.
    Anyone see this problem and know how to fix or work around? Thanks in advance.
    BTW, these videos are full sized H.264 videos converted from DVDs I had previously made with a miniDV camcorder. I've played iPod sized versions of these videos in Front Row with no problem except that now I am using an HDTV and the iPod sized versions are no longer good enough.

    I agree, but the problem only occured while scrolling. I was able to play each of the videos beginning to end. The problem was reproducable over a short time but not with any particular set of videos. In any case, the problem did go away as I am able to scroll up/down through all the videos with no problem. There's also been a few firmware updates, OS updates, and quicktime updates. Any of these could have fixed the problem. I'm happy to have my 'media center' Mac back in action.

  • When I try to scroll through my genius mixes it freezes up and shuts down my music app. What can I do?

    Whenever I try an scroll through my genius mix, every single time I get to Urban Cross over my music app freezes up and then the whole app closes. I have tried resetting my phone and that does nothing to help. Please any help thy would get my music to work is greatly appreciated!

    You could try going into settings then messages and seeing if you have it turned on. You will need to use your apple ID then, hope that helps.

    When I try to manage my music in the usage my screen freezes when I begin to scroll through the music software is up to date and I have the iPhone 6 plus any suggestions?

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • ITunes opens only in safe mode; freezes upon normal opening (possible solutions that I found to similar problems don't seem to apply)

    Hello. I've encountered a problem with my iTunes that I would like some help on solving. My computer uses Windows Vista. iTunes recently began to freeze as soon as I opened its window. On two occasions, it appeared to work the first time after turning the computer on, but would freeze upon subsequent openings. No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all. However, iTunes appears to work just fine when I open it in safe mode (holding Shift + Ctrl while opening), although I have not yet attempted to sync a device while using safe mode. I attempted to update iTunes to its most recent version (10.6.3.25) after first experiencing this problem. The first time I tried, it didn't work, saying that "errors occured" during the update. I disabled my antivirus software (Kaspersky Antivirus 2012) and tried again. This time, my computer said that the update was successful. However, the freezing problem has persisted.
    After looking through Apple support and other discussion topics, I found several things to check for (relating to similar problems) as follows. I checked for them, but they don't seem to apply to my situation. Here is what i found.
    From Apple Support:
    Check for third-party plugins in the following two folders:
    -C:\Users\username\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins\
    Result: I found this folder, but it is empty, even with "Show hidden files and folders" enabled.
    -C:\Program Files\iTunes\Plug-ins
    Results: I did not find a "Plug-ins" folder in this directory, nor in the iTunes directory in Program Files (x86). However, there is a "Mozilla Plugins" folder in the (x86) directory, containing files "npitunes.dll" and "npitunes.xpt."
    From Community Discussions:
    -Conflict with Advanced SystemCare security tool by IObit or iCloud Control Panel
    Result: These do not appear to be installed on my computer.
    I also found something about Bonjour service, and that some people's similar problems were temporarily resolved when disabling Bonjour and reopening iTunes. I tried this, but it did not make a difference.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this? Thanks for the help!

    No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all.
    I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

  • Pages Freezes On Scrolling

    This on the Intel MacMini (2009)
    When quickly scrolling through documents with more than a few pages, Pages simply freezes up. Scrolling halts and menu items become unresponsive. The only way to bring Pages back to life is to click on the desktop or another application's window and then click on the Pages window. This is extremely annoying.
    However, this only seems to happen when another user is logged on via Fast User Switching.
    This problem does not happen with Open Office, Neo Office or Text Edit when editing the very same documents.
    Is Pages somehow not compatible with Fast User Switching?

    I should add that when Pages freezes the system.log contains items like this:
    Jul 8 08:21:33 Bleach /usr/sbin/spindump[1452]: process 716 is being monitored
    Jul 8 08:21:57 Bleach /usr/sbin/spindump[1452]: process 716 is being no longer being monitored
    Jul 8 08:22:49 Bleach /usr/sbin/spindump[1458]: process 716 is being monitored
    Jul 8 08:33:04 Bleach /usr/sbin/spindump[1605]: process 716 is being monitored

  • Scrolling through photos, restarting iPhoto: "Hidden Photos" are unhidden!

    Hi,
    As you may know, iPhoto has this great feature where you can mouse over an Event to scroll through the photos in it. iPhoto also has another great feature - the possibility to hide photos!
    However, here's when they both went wrong: I had a few Hidden Photos in an event, yet when I moused over it - they showed up! Just makes them not so hidden...
    Also, when I last closed iPhoto, Hidden Photos were checked to show. As I opened iPhoto up again - they were still unhidden. It would be nice if they automatically hid themselves upon closing. Is there an Apple Script available for this?
    In the same scenario, I hid the photos manually. And as I opened up a photo in an event up full screen, and browsed through the event using the arrow keys - a hidden photo appeared! This, as I understand - is a bug. Where would I report this?
    I hope you can help!
    Thank you for your time,
    Rudi

    rudi_e:
    First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Then rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Crashes when scrolling through the albums (iOS 5)

    Hi all,
    I have an ipod touch 3 gen with the new iOS 5, and every time I turn it sideways to scroll through the albums, fast, it just crashes and restarts...
    Anybody else having the same issue? It's like the iOS is to taxting for the ipod.
    Also when locked and I double tap the Home button for the quick controls, I get some micro freezes when forwarding or backwarding songs...
    Is anybody else having this problem?
    Is there something I could do to improve performance?
    Will this be fixed on the next update?
    This is driving me nuts!!
    Thank you.

  • Mail app freezes upon opening after Mavericks install

  • Freezing upon capturing

    I run FCX 1 on a g4 466 10.4.9 recently I have been experiencing freezing upon capturing footage from either my JVC deck or vx 2100 . The audio goes totally out of sync also. It happens with any external drive and even the mac hd. Also I went to another machine, captured to my Wd 500 drive and when I got home, only one of the tapes was there-(there are two in the project) I went back to the lab and looked- both tapes exist on the drive but my computer cannot find one.
    I recentl upgraded to QT 7- could that affect anything? Trashed p lists, re started, even got new fw cables. Am at the end of my rope- help!

    If your capture woes started soon after the QT 7 install then it's entirely possible.
    Should you want to re-install a previous version look here:

  • "Freezing" whilst Scrolling

    Dear discussion group
    Hi I have been using mac for about a month now. Initially i was very impressed with the two finger scroll feature on my macbook pro and impressed with the apple's speed. But now I am doing a lot of work using a Mac word, and I need to scroll up and down within my documents (not to challenging a request for a computer user I would have thought) however the scroll feature seems to keep freezing for upto 4-5 seconds at a time where i can't scroll through the document. Any subsequent scrolling action seems get stored in some virtual memory and replayed after it unfreezes. I don't believe this a problem with the word softwar rather a prob with the OS. Is this a bug? It is very frustrating - please help. I thought scrolling would be an essential and pretty basic function???
    I do not have many programs open at the times this happens, in anycase I have 1 GB of ram with this Macbook pro 15inch (the base level) - I would have hoped this would be enough at least to do basic word processing
    Yours Frustratedly
    bishan

    I don't have any ideas, but to answer your question, I have always had the same problem with iMix. It takes an eternity to scroll down each screen. I really enjoy the iMix feature, but I don't have the patience to view more than a few iMixes before I get fed up with the slow scrolling pages.
    By the way, if anyone has figured out why, lately, new iMixes created are no longer showing up on the included album's iMix lists, (the list of iMixes that include that album in the right hand corner), I am still wondering, and after watching this forum for this topic many people are having the same problem and no one has been able to help yet. If anyone knows why this is happening please do tell. It's nearly impossible to get votes anymore. Thanks in advance.

  • Help!! As I was scrolling through my library, one folder after another had the photos in it turn to "static"!  Lots of streaks and dots!  What is happening and how do I save my photos?

        As I was scrolling through my Aperture library just now, I saw one folder after another turn the photos in that folder into garbage!   They have lines and dots and nothing recognizable - what in the world is causing this?    Can I get my photos back?    It almost looks like a virus eating my files - could it be - and if it is - is my entire computer in trouble?   HELP HELP HELP!

    Interesting that you posted this Cleaning up photo library about one hour before this post. I'd say there is a good possibility they are related.
    Without knowing your system, OS version and Aperture version and what you were doing to 'clean up' your library there is little we can do.
    My photo library is a mess.  I have moved things around a lot in a futile attempt to organize them, now I have a lot of placeholders with no files attached.  How do I clean things up?
    I suggest you restore from your backup and forgo the cleaning operation until you have a better grasp of the situation.
    BTW the Masters folder is organized by date and time of import at least in Aperture 3, if you are using 2 then all bets are off,
    Good luck with Apple support, if you want to try and get this sorted out post back the information I requested above.

  • When scrolling through IPhoto, others photos displayed?

    Recently I had a number of problems where I had to get a new hard drive and restore everything.
    The hard drive was replaced after I brough my MacBook Pro to Apple regarding a problem with my slideshows.  The music, and sometime the pictures, were skipping and/or pausing for various lengths.  I had tried repair data without success.
    The tech felt the hard drive was having problems so it was replaced.
    After a full restore the slideshows were a little better in that only the music skipped or paused.  I checks the music source and it was all fine.
    So we went back to Apply and our only choice was a Rebuild Database (was reluctant to do this because I thought I might loose all me projects like slideshows and albums.)  Well, the Rebuild worked and the slideshows seem fine.
    However, now whenever I scroll through pictures, photos from everywhere show up for a split second before changing to the correct photos.  In slideshows the stream of photos accross the top are all random from the IPhoto data base.  When I select one of them, the correct photo is displayed.
    It doesn't seem to affect the slideshow but makes it difficult when editing.
    Any ideas?   I am using IPhoto 11 p.3.2 and I have installed the latest update.

    I have tried, several times, to rebuild my thumbnails.  However. after progressing to a little over half way I keep getting the following message:
    The volume for “DSC_3556.JPG” cannot be found.
    Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.
    With the options -  CANCEL            FIND PHOTO     TRY AGAIN
    Find Photo does not give me any possibilities and Try Again doesn't work.  So I keep hitting cancel.  Each time I hit Cancel and a new "Volume for..."  comes up.   I have spent hours hitting Cancel and although the Progress Bar moves a bit, it never ends and usually crashes.
    I try again and it appears that the same volume I cancelled the first and second tries appear again.
    I also noticed that every time I open an event there is a mish mash of pictures with only a few that belong there.  Howver, when I click on them, the right photo appears.
    This is a real mess.

  • Elements 9 freezing up after loading project and wont load up dates

    help, elements 9 freezing up after loading project .

    Unitedmoviemaker
    Have you looked at any possible involvement of the antivirus program in the way of recent updates for it? Recent Windows Updates? Can we assumed that you have not added, subtracted any programs that would coincide with the onset of the issue?
    Have you checked to make sure that your video card is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
    Recently, with Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card, answers have come from rolling back the driver.
    I guess you tried the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file deletion. But, did you try deleting the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists?
    Do you have the Premiere Elements 9 installation disc for installations files in case a deactivation, uninstall, run through of ccleaner, reinstall is indicated?
    But, let me backup for a moment. Is this issue confined to one previously created project or to all your Premiere Elements projects either new or old?
    Let us start here and then move forward according to your answers.
    Thanks.
