Aperture freezes every time while calculating disk space

Ok, here is what I've been trying to do:
I want to get rid of Iphoto alltogether, gave all my pictures and videos in Aperture in one library. I don't want to switch back and forth between libraries. My ultimate goal is to after I get done ipmorting Iphoto into my current Aperture Library, to move most of my masters from Projects that I don't need on a regular basis to my external hard drive to free up space on my MacBook Pro.
My aperture library is about 217 GB big, my Iphoto library is 141 GB.
As of right now, I have 149 GB free space on my MacBook Pro.
My Iphoto library is on a Lacie SSD.
So what I did in order to move Iphoto into Aperture:
I have Iphoto and Aperture open.
I click on Aperture => Import library => I choose Iphoto ( located on my external harddrive).
Then Aperture starts calculating disk space and freezes and is not responding anymore.
So what do I have to do defferently to get my Iphoto library back on my Macbook?

Now I have another question though
My Iphoto library was 130GB big and as I mentioned before, when I tried to import it said that I needed at least 200 GB free space in order to import.
I freed up a total of 205 GB by moving a bunch of my master files on an external hard drive and also temporarily moving my itunes library on the extrenal hard drive as well.
After that, I could import my Iphoto library which was located on an extrenal hard drive into Aperture on my MacBook Pro.
So, here's what I'm struggeling with now:
My laptop is only showing me 20 GB of free space now, but it should show about 70 GB of fre space, right?
I had 200 GB free and imported 130 GB of pictures ( original size of my old iphoto library). So 200 GB - 130 GB should equal 70 GB of free space. Or what am I missing?
I hope that doesn't sound too confusing. But now I am confused

Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

What is your Aperture version? And since when are you haveíng this problem? Did this start, after you imported photos or updated software? Did you move your Aperture library or your original image files? Did Aperture crash?
Does it only happen when you are working in your main Aperture library, or also when you are using a different Aperture library?
As a test, create a new Aperture library and and try to adjust an image there. Does it work?

Illustrator CS 5.1 freezes every time I try to save

I just started using Illustrator CS 5.1 on a new laptop running Windows 7. (I have used it for over a year on an older computer running Windows XP with no problem). For the first month or so on Windows 7 it worked ok (saving was somewhat slow) but suddenly it freezes every time I save - sometimes it will eventually save - after 5-7 minutes - yes, I timed it...
Help!

To what folders are you saving? What are your saving options? You could simply be running out of (temporary) disk space if you use the default My Documents/ My Images folder because your temp folder is in the same location. This could cause all sorts of performance issues. And then of course the usual suspects: Virus scanners and otehr tools causing excessive disk activity or trying to scan your file while it's being written.

Do you have crash reports with a "bp-" prefix that were submitted and that show a crashing thread?

My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

Sorted it out.

Console (X-Fi) freezes EVERY time I click on EQ button (All 3 modes) -- HE

Hi,
I have the X-Fi Elite Pro and just recently developed this problem... my console freezes EVERY time I click on EQ button... I mean I have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and kill it with task manager. This happens in all three modes. After I kill the process,?I can re-open the console and use it as normal -- As long as I NEVER CLICK on the EQ button... This happens regardless of the mode I am in. If I wait long enough, I will get an error message that says "Out of memory". The title of that error window varies... I wrote down a couple of them... once?the title?said?"modeEnTM" and last time it was "CTTheme."?Anyone else ever have this problem.. again... it just cropped up all of a sudden -- but it won't go away. I did uninstall all Creative software and drivers, deleted all Creative folders, deleted the registry entries?and reinstalled everything... but no change. Hope someone knows... -- ScribbleMeat

Perhaps you have something else which you installed that is conflicting with the Creative software. Try using Sysinternals autoruns or msconfig to disable all unnecassary start-up items and then see if EQ button still causes any crashes. Do you see any CPU usage spikes on any other processes whilst the Out of memory crash appears?Have you checked to see if your Virtual memory is set correctly? you can check this in Control Panel, System Properties > Advanced Tab > Performance SettingsMake sure you have a paging file set to a custom size of around 2046 or leave it on System managed size. You might want to also try out a program called CCleaner, this can clean up your temp files and registry without damaging your OS or program installations. If none of this helps, try uninstalling the complete driver set again and then using Driver Cleaner to make sure there is no trace left afterwards or go through the hard disk manually (Program Files, Documents and Settings) and remove all trace of Creative related software and configuration files.

Software Update download freezes every time...

Just bought my first iMac (intel i5) and it won't complete the Software Update of Mac OS X (2.06GB). After multiple failed attempts of downloading over WIFI, I've plugged in via ethernet. Download freezes every time. Why?

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Any change?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Crystal Reports freezes every time I try to open a report.

Crystal Reports freezes every time I try to open a report. I feel like it has something to do with trying to locate the default printer, but Im not certain. Crystal Reports opens just fine,but the moment I try to open any report it just hangs. Please help!

My problem is very similar to this person's. I have 2 laptops with CR XI installed (same problem from original R2 through SP 5). The old laptop is an IBM Thinkpad R51. The new one is an HP Elitebook 6930p. Both have the exact same software and versions of Win XP and network security.
If I try to open a report that has an "invalid printer" selected, it will open in the old IBM (with the message, 'This report uses an invalid printer. The default printer will be used instead'), but on the new HP, it freezes and I have to do a CtlAltDel to get out.
I've tried everything Don Williams suggested, but the only thing that is logged in Admin Tools when this happens is a Security/Privilege Request" with no errors.
Clearly, when CR in the HP looks for the printer selected in the report and doesn't find it, that causes CR to freeze.
Any idea what difference between the 2 machines could cause this?
This is a royal pain, because I can only be on one computer at a time.
Thanks in advance.

Photoshop elements 13 FREEZING every time with Mac OS X Yosemite

Just purchased Photoshop elements 13, upgrading from version 10. 10 was running slow in editor so I thought the latest version would be faster but not only is it slower & stickier but I can not open the organizer. It freezes every time & I can not see my catalog pics. A few pics load & the rest are question marks or sand timer.....Then it freezes completely & I can not do anything until I force quit. I've tried most of the trouble shooting listed but NOTHING is working!! Please HELP!!!! So frustrating!!!!

I have created a table on pages. Somehow I have set something so a blue dot appears every time I press he space bar. How did I do it? and how do I get rid of it?

two questions-- I have created a table on pages. Somehow every time I press the space bar, I get a blue dot between words--How did I do it? and How do I get rid of it. Also, I created a template on pages--How do I "save as" for a new file using that template?

All you are seeing is the word space (from the spacebar).
Menu > View > Hide Invisibles you had Show Invisibles on.
When you are using a template it should be named "Untitled" and it will ask you to save when you go to close or you simply go to Save under the File menu.

Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
<About NVRAM and PRAM>
<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

Most likely, you've got a problem with the Flash Player software. First, download and run the Flash uninstaller for Mac OS X 10.6 and up:
uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg
Then, download and install a fresh copy:

After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

by the way, you can also try to safe boot up your mac for safe mode. maybe it can work and you can deal with problem there.
for safe boot:
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
