Camcorder stutters, then stops while importing DV

I've been importing footage for an hour or two with no problem, suddenly the video and audio begin to stutter then the camera stops playing. If I start the tape without importing, it plays fine on the camcorder. But when I try to import, it freezes up again. Again, this is in the middle of a long importing session that has been going fine for some time already. Firewire cable is brand new, undamaged. iMovie 6.0.3, Sony Handycam DCR HC36

Uh, oops. It seems my hard drive is full. Who would've thunk an hour of uncompressed video would be over 20 GB...

Imovie slows down then freezes while importing from camera

I am trying to import a movie from my canon hv10. I've never had problem the last 2 movies I did. but this time around it starts importing, and a few clips later, slows down to 1/8th time. then freezes. The camera is still playing but it has stopped importing. I have tried to pause it to let it catch up. Restarting it numerous times. It is being imported into my 500 GB hard drive. I have 400 GB available. It's worked before in HD. Any ideas? anything would be helpful, I've searched every single message board so far. thanks.

I had a smilar problem. it came up when I changed OS to Leopard OS X 10.5.
My Imovie HD 5 had been working fine until then under earlier OS versions, both in LP as well as in normal mode. Then all of a sudden importing stopped eery few seconds.
I checked many discussions in this forum and tried a lot of suggested solutions, to no avail. I have now come to realise that Leopard is the problem, not the camera, the cable, or preferences or good old iMovie HD.
I simply went back to an older laptop (iBook) running OS 10.3.9 and iMovie 3 . No problem whatsoever importing clips (just had to start a new project about every 20 minutes of clip import). Then attached my external harddrive via firewire, copied the projects to the Hard Disk and then opened them with iMovie HD 5 and bingo: the project was OK and could be further worked on.
So that does not solve the basic problem, but is not too complicated as workaround.

When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

Itunes stops working as soon as it reads first track while importing CD (APPCRASH). Need help!

Itunes stopped working error comes up as soon as it reads first track while importing CD and needs to close program (APPCRASH). I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times - also ran CD diagnostics in iTunes and looks OK. I'm on Vista Home Premium Edition. If it will help I saved the CD Diagnostics from ITunes and the Windows APPCRASH info. I've spend several hours trying to figure this out. Any ideas?

Problem solved! I had my pc plugged into a port replicator to use a bigger screen, etc. When I unplugged it and tried to import the CDs it worked fine. Not sure why I got the error but whenever I get unexpected errors in the future, I will take it off the replicator to eliminate that possibility. Thanks to all who reviewed.

My PowerBook G4 says that it's connected to wifi, but it still no internet connection. The connection will work for a while, and then I'll have to run diagnostics and it will work again for a few minutes and then stop working again. What's going on??

While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

Whenever I try to upload photos into iPhoto, they load but when importing it just stops a picyure or two into it and then just sits there. I can't stop the import so I have to shut off my camera when it is importing and start again. Help?

Whenever I try to upload photos into iPhoto, they load but when importing it just stops a picture or two into it and then just sits there. I can't stop the import so I have to shut off my camera when it is importing and start again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Tru importing from your camera to it and to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Importing photos from Iphone to computer and there is a message it is having trouble with this part way through on a phot and then stops

I am having trouble importing photos onto my Mac book Pro from my Iphone...in the middle of the import I get a message stating that they are having trouble with one of my photos and then stops importing...want to save photos and clear the phone storage

Hello cindysc
Try importing the photos using Image Capture and see if that changes things. If it still gets stuck, try and email the photo to your self and download it that way.

IPhoto froze while importing photos from iPhone to Mac, unable to stop import

My iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro (Retina, 13-inch, 2.4 GHz intel core i5, 8GM memory 1600 Mhz DDR3, in the OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1) froze while I was importing pictures from my iPhone 6. I am unable to 'Stop Import', as when I press to stop the import my Mac does not respond. There is a continuous loading sign next to my iPhone device. I am still able to use other features of my Mac and iPhoto, only the import page is not responsive.

Flash in Firefox with Vista Ultimate Works a while then stops working until restart

I recently got a new computer with Vista Ultimate. I
downloaded all the patches and installed the latest versions of
Firefox (2.0.0.4) & Flash Player (9.0.45.0). I have the
following add-ons loaded in Firefox: Firebug 1.05, Greasemonkey
0.7.20070607.0), Tab Mix Plus (0.3.6), Talkback (2.0.0.4), DOM
Inspector (1.8.1.4). This is the process that happens.
1) Connect to the computer in questoin using RDP
2) Launch Firefox and go to a site like Youtube or MySpace.
It works great. Everything plays that I click on.
3) Disconnect from RDP and reconnect.
4) The Flash plays never work again. They will typically
start a show for 2-10 seconds and then just "halt". This is every
movie I view off of either YouTube or MySpace. Even if I close the
Myspace & YouTube tabs and open them in a new clean tab.
If I close Firefox and reopen it everything starts working
again. Again this appears to work until I disconnect from RDP
again.
What is going wrong here? What can I do to fix this or upload
data dumps so this can get fixed?

I have a photosmart C148x. It stops while printering. In the mean time on the display of the machine it says printing.....

Printer works for a while, then stops

I have an HP Photosmart D5460 printer which I bought on Black Friday that operates on a USB port. I was on here before because I couldn't get the printer to print anything. At that time, it needed a high speed USB driver. I did a search for one downloaded it on my computer, and then put in the installer cd for the printer to reinstall it.
After that, it printed fine. But now, it's not working. It's telling me that there is no printer installed. I don't know how many times I've installed that printer. It also acts like I didn't even install the USB driver.
The type of Windows version I use is Windows Vista.

Start to import, but it slows then stops halfway through one song

That's pretty much it. I put a (non-burned) CD in my disc drive, hit 'Import' and it starts to import it into iTunes, but then it slows and then stops importing. Then, when I try to stop it from importing, iTunes freezes and I have to force it to quit.

I have been having this same problem for about 2 weeks. When it happens, I have to actually re-boot my computer to get it to rip files again. After that it will rip approximately 3 or so CDs before freezing up again. I have been searching the forums for any news on this and it seems a lot of people are having the problem, but no real good iTunes solution. I am not running Vista, and would prefer not to rip files in some other program to use them in iTunes.

Exchange Email Syncs for a while then stops

So my iphone 3G (2.1) will synch my email from the company exchange server just fine for a day or two then for no reason (that I can tell) stops. It goes into an endless connecting to server state and never gets past it. If I fully restore the phone, wiping the account clean, starting over it will validate the account, start synching mail, work for a while (a day or just a few hours) and then stop. I have the phone set for manual fetch. Any ideas?

Hey Allistah,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Photo Stream works but stops and a restart fixes it. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until you close the Camera app.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Truncate / Trim and Convert the values while importing in Import Manager

Hi,
I am facing the following issues while importing the values in Import Manager.
1) The incoming value is a 4 character text value (e.g. D004) and i need to truncate the 1st two characters so that i get the output as "04" and map it to the destination numeric 2 character field.
Can any1 help me on this as to how can i truncate the 1st two characters?
2) My incoming value is a numeric field which is coming from ECC. this value can be negative as well. the ECC sends this value as (78.00-) ie the minus sign is suffixed to the value but in MDM i need it as (-78.00) ie minus sign prefixed to the value.
Is there any setting in Import manager where i can set the minus sign as a prefix?
Useful answers will be rewarded with points.
Regards,
Roshani

Hi Roshani,
Can any1 help me on this as to how can i truncate the 1st two characters?
As suggested by everyone, none of these options will work. Since your field has alphanumeric Value i.e. D004. Use Option Replace.
After mapping your source field with target field which must be of Type TEXT, Right click on your source field>Set Value Conversion filter>Replace..-->a pop up window will come Replace write Find What: D0 and Replace with: keep it blank(dont write anything) and then Press Ok, you will see all your Source values D0XX converted to XX and then can save in Import Map which will give you the desired result.
If you set your target field of type INTEGER, you cant have option Replace. And the TRUNCATE option as suggested by everyone will not work as Operand 2: you can set as Numeric values only, you would not able to write D.
Is there any setting in Import manager where i can set the minus sign as a prefix?
I dont think this is possible alone with Import Manager, you need MDM workflow for this where your workflow trigger action = Record Import in Data Manager, and need to select the same workflow in configuration options of Import Manager>Import>checkout/workflow = select the workflow name from drop-down which you set in Data Manager and then need to save this in your Import Map. So in this manner whenever record comes through import Manager, these records automatically will go through this Workflow and will give you the desired result.
START(CHECKOUT)>Assign>STOP(CHECKIN)
Assign step where you give assignment on this field and write assignment expression as:
IF(FIND(XXX, "-"), "-"&LEFT(XXX, (LEN(XXX)-1)), XXX)
where XXX = Field name which you defined in MDM repository.
