Application Not Responding When I Open a Library

Clearly Final Cut Pro 10.1 created libraries when I upgraded.
I have a collection of critical clip projects on an external drive which were put into a Library.
Every time I attempt to open them — from inside or outside the app — then the program freezes and I have to force quit.
Is this upgrade just dreck, or do I not know what the **** I'm doing?
I have a TON of work that was so easy to access and work with in the previous version. Now I'm dead in the water.
Help.

That almost sounds like Final Cut did this automatically before you had a chance to open it for the first time. Is that the case or were you initially able to work within the app after updating? (If you've never been able to open it, then skip over the next paragraph.)
If the app opened for you initially, you should have gotten a dialogue window asking you whether you wanted to update all or some of your projects and events now or to update later. If you clicked Update All, it should have created a library for every mounted drive and event for each library called Updated Projects. Did you try to open any or all of the Updated Projects events? Did you move any of the files among events and/or libraries – either in the app or in the Finder? Did you do any
Also, for each mounted drive FCPX should have created a folder in the Finder called Old Projects and Events. Can you find the folders?
Do you have a backup of 10.0.9 – either that you archived or from a Time Machine (or some other utility) BU you could restore from?

Mac is running SUPER Slow, applications not responding when i open them, Beachballs everywhere

Whenever i open an application (Take Google chrome for an example) it bounces like 20+ times, then on activity monitor it says "Application Not Responding". Whenever i type too fast on spotlight or finder, my whole desktop freezes, im suspecting this can be maybe HDD failure, i have repaired my MacintoshHD probably 3 times this past week. I have 150GB free out of a 250GB hdd, and i have 4 GB RAM. PLEASE HELP! Im currently enrolled in college and this is vital and needs to be fixed ASAP.

Itunes application not responding when I plug in my iphone

I am on itunes 8.2 and when I plug in my iphone itunes just goes into application not responding.
I wait for a while and then unplug the phone and it goes back to working again.
On the phone there is no "Sync" message. In fact with the phone plugged in I can access the phones apps just as if it was not plugged in.
But initially when I plug it in, it does the double vibrate and shows the charging graphic so I know the cable is ok.
The phone is already on 3.1 apparently because some new features are there... like selecting multiple photos to email.
But I don't recall ever running any updates in itunes to make it use the new software as I read you were supposed to do.
I don't want to upgrade to itunes 9 because I read so many people having problems with it... but I wonder if the phone is no longer compatible with itunes 8.2
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you know if the problems people have reported with itunes 9 was before the 9.1 release?
I've heard tons of people saying they were reverting back to itunes 8.2 because 9 was so bad.
Am a bit nervous about that update because of that.
But an applecare guy told me that the 9.1 was supposed to address those issues. I have just not heard anything about that actually fixing things though. Still seems like a lot of people are dreading the new itunes 9.
If you are an itunes 9 user, did you have any problems with it wiping out your library or any terribly long syncing times?
Thanks.

After effects cs 5.5 not responding when I open up a project file

I was recently working on an intro for a youtube channel and my project had been running smoothly the night before. But now all of a sudden I open it up today and it starts not responding when I try and open the file. It is running on a mac with 8 GB of memory and a 2.1 GHz intel i7 processor, I have no idea what's happening and I really need help. Thank you for your time.

I can understand that my info was vague, but I am as well a novice in after effects. I have a good bit of experience with it, but not a professional standard. I have 1 video file of average length, a photoshop file, and a word layer, no other effects really. My comp size is 1280 by 720, and I don't know what other info I could give. My other projects run fine, it seems to just be this one now that you mention it. Should I try starting a new project and just working off of that? I can understand that you need to know a lot more, but I was also just asking a general question because I felt that it might be common issue of a setting that I may have had to change, so I'm sorry my info was so vague, but that was my reasoning. I don't believe that saving and backups are my problem, but if you believe it's a means to the solution then by all means please justify that. Thank your for your time and help.

If brand new take it to an Apple Retail store Genius Bar

Firefox is "not responding" when I open it from my desktop.

PLEASE HELP.... When I click on Mozilla Firefox from my desktop to open it the Home Page/Yahoo comes up but will not go any further when I click on something or attempt to open another tab. At the top it states (Not Responding). I have to go into the Task Manager to close it down.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Application Not Responding When Transferring to iPod

I have a classic 160GB and everything has been running fine until about 3 weeks ago. Whenever I buy a TV show from the store I can't transfer it to my iPod because the beach ball spins until I have to force quit iTunes. The icon in the doc says that the "Application is Not Responding". I can transfer songs and audio files to my iPod without a problem but the transfer of .m4v files trigger the beach ball.
Any ideas?

Everytime i open Mozilla Firefox Version 15.0.1 it always seem to crash or not respond when it opens.

It always stops working everytime when i open it and i cant do nothing about it. I Tried uninstalling and installing it but it keeps repeating itself and keeps lagging.

Started having a similar problem on a freshly-imaged corporate PC where we do not have local admin and have to install Firefox inside the local Windows profile directory. Some people have the problem, others don't. Only with certain sites, but seems to be most sites. When it hangs on a site, it does so immediately, and you can't even X out of the window - you have to kill the task. Same in safe mode.
I tried uninstalling, rebooting, deleting %userprofile%\appdata\local\Mozilla and \Mozilla Firefox, reinstalling, and no go, no matter whether I choose to import from IE or not.
Also, have the same issue with Firefox at home on a separate Windows box starting at about the same time as I and a couple users here noticed this. Would seem like an update.

My iTunes keeps freezing/not responding when I open the program?

I am trying to restore my mum's iPod nano after it just died and won't work- but everytime I open iTunes it crashes! It works for about 1 minute of use before it stops responding and I have to end task, but then when I try and re-open the program it doesn't open unless I plug my own iPod in!
Someone help me try and fix this- mum wants her iPod back and I want my iTunes working again!
My computer operating system is Windows 7
iTunes is the latest update (I think). Any solutions?

I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS! I can now access the Itunes Store. A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
Below is the advice you forwarded:
I found a solution to my problem.
> start menu
> accessories,
> right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
hit enter
You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

ITunes not responding when I open it

After not using iTunes for about a week, I opened it and was prompted to download the most recent version of iTunes. I did so, and followed the commands throughout the downloading process (or so I thought), but now when I click to open iTunes, it does not do anything. Even when I connect my iPod to my computer, it iTunes does not open or recognize it. What should I do? If I remove and reinstall iTunes, will I lose all the music already on there?

Im having the same problem. I always open up the Windows Task Manager. When I click on the shortcut, ITunes appears in the Processes Tab, but then disappears after a few seconds. This has been happening to me for about a year, and i used to be able to open it by following the instructions below:
1) Go to "start" and click "run"
2) Type in "msconfig" and click OK
3) Click on the "servives" tab
4) MAKE SURE TO CHECK "hide all microsoft services"
5) Click on "disable all"
6) Check "Ipod Service"
7) Click on the "Startup" tab
8) Press "Disable All"
9) Check "Itunes Helper" and "qttask"
10) Click OK and Restart
I hope this helps. In the past i have been able to use this, but i guess there's a different problem with my iTunes this time. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Hope i helped!

Applications not responding/won't open

All of a sudden today many applications will not open. They bounce for awhile on the dock, and I have to force them to quit. However, they won't even show up in the force quit menu I have to hold down the control key and click force quit twice. This first began with Skype and now it has affected ichat and gizmo project (another online calling program).
I am running 10.3.9 which I updated a few weeks ago (so that I could run Skype).
The only other changes I've made recently are updating itunes and quicktime.
I'm studying in Italy right now so I'm not sure where to go for help. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I would use the Accounts System Preferences to create a new user. Log out and log in as the new user. Do the same applications fail to mount for the new user? If so, you have a system-wide problem. If they open for the new user, then your original user has a preference or setting that's causing the trouble. Let us know how this goes and we'll have some more suggestions depending on this troubleshooting step.

I have a problem with the latest version of itunes not responding when i open it.

Every time i open itunes on my PC i cant do any thing and have to use task manager to close it as it keeps not responding

Thanks but I had already read this, and it was no help at all. Under the Summary tab, "Options", there is no check-box to manually manage my stuff. I suspect this is because it is a 2nd gen iPod, with ONLY manual management. The only way to delete my stuff seems to be to reset the entire device.
I like to listen to podcasts. What is particularly frustrating is that the 4th gen shuffle CANNOT play podcasts, but ONLY music, which I discovered after a lot of research and multiple visits to an Apple store. So I have to resort to an older version of the shuffle to play podcasts And now with the latest version of iTunes there seems to be no way to delete any podcasts on the older version. Apple just makes it harder and harder for us podcast-lovers, driving us away from Apple -- driving me away from the entire brand and from ALL Apple devices, not just iPod.
