CD Import Freezing

Dear Apple,
I have an iMac G5 with iTunes version 7.0.2.
Every time I attempt to import a standard audio CD, iTunes freezes. It does not freeze in the same place on every CD, but does freeze in the same place on the same CD.
ie:
CD 1 - freezes on the third track with 3:30 remaining.
CD 2 - freezes on the fifth track with 2:04 remaining.
However, if I insert CD 1 again, it will freeze once more on the third track with 3:30 remaining.
I recently updated to 7.0.2, however I have not imported discs for at least a few months, so I'm unsure if the issue was present for the preceding versions. I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes to no avail.
I'd appreciate all help anyone can offer. I have searched for similar issues, they are, as yet, unresolved.
Thanks for your time and patience,
Aaron Norlund

I'm having the EXACT same issue! I even tried playing the problem track on one CD, which froze iTunes in the same way as trying to import it.
Does your drive freeze up as well? I've got a SuperDrive, and it does this strange stop-go-stop-go thing over and over again until I Force Quit iTunes and eject the CD.
I'm really puzzled by this, as these aren't new, strictly-protected discs or overly scratched ones either... It's happened to me with a total of four discs now, and I am NOT pleased.
Someone help us!

Lightroom 5.3 Import Freezes

Okay so I have been importing images most all day and now all of a suddent Lightroom freezes at 23% when importing and never finished nor does it give any error message. I am using convert to digital negitive and import.
I have not a clue on where to start troubleshooting this so any help would be appreactied
Wayne
UPDATE -
I decided to create a new catalog (just to see if that was the issue) and that didnt correct the problem. It froze at 23% again.
Also when I close the program, the GUI goes away but if I launch task manager, its there running and I cant end that process. I have to restart (force) as a normal shutdown doesnt work. So to me, its pointing to the 5.3 update I did today.

This issue may have nothing to do with the camera per se.
Try expanding the destination sub panel on the R-hand side of the import dialog and see what happens.
Let us know if there is still an issue.

Order Import: Freeze price with Price Adjustments

Hi Experts,
I 've the following requirement:
1) Import orders using the interface table with the price same as the source data (Freeze price - CALCULATE_PRICE_FLAG = 'N') for the lines.
2) Import price adjustments (discounts) at header level using the oe_price_adjs_iface_all interface table.
I 'am able to import the orders and the price adjustments. But, the price adjustment doesn't seem to take effect since the price is frozen for the lines. I could see the imported price adjustment through View Adjustments - The adjustment data is greyed out and I see a message saying - The Discount/ Adjustment can not be applied on the order since one of the the line prices is frozen. The adjustment level is set to Order.
Can you please suggest how to overcome this error and achieve this requirement.
Thanks,
Ganapathi

-- we have been importing the sales order through API oe_order_pub.Process_Order
Users complained that they are not able to see the discount amount while creating the invoice.
We have checked the code and found that the following main parameters :-
Unit_seeling_price :-- unit_selling_price + (discount)
List_price :- and the list price is same as the unit_seeling_price
Calculate_price_flag = N
And due to aforesaid parameters values the values are same and it is not creating discount entry
When user create the invoice.
User Requirement :-- they says that there list_price and unit_selling_price gets changed dynamically
As per business requirement. E.g. Customer C1 order for item Item1 and ITEM2
Then we give 10% discount and the list price is coming from Quotation (so it may vary).
Workaround :-- STEP1 we crate the sales order manually through form and with the following concern value:-
Price list :-- Freeze
Unit_selling_price :-- changed to anything
And found that the difference of unit_selling_price and List_price is the discount amount
In the invoice.(Order Number 23910)
STEP2 We ran the create sales order through script using API and it created the sales order as usual.
Then we got the diagnostic report against Order Number 23906.
STEP3 We compare the diagnostic reports of Order Number 23910 and Order Number 23906.
And found that the adjustment entry is not there in the Order Number 23906.we believe that
Due to adjustment entry it failed to create the discount amount along with invoice amount.
STEP4 we tried to pass the adjustment entry in the API but failed using record type l_line_adj_tbl
In the script. In this script we need to pass different list price amount and unit_selling_price
After applying discount.
Please give some sol

Excel R&A Import - Freeze Headers in Financial Reporting Studio don't work

Our users like financials in Excel and fully formatted to their liking so we create the template in Financial Reporting Studio and then import the template via Excel through Workspace via Independent Provider Connection. If the certain grid template in Financial Reporting Studio was set to several "pages" to produce, all the pages will popup on separate tabs in Excel. My question is, for each "page" which populates info on one tab in Excel, when printed, could be several printed pages long so the column headings don't reprint. I can manually set up Excel to reprint the column headings but since we produce thousands of reports with various templates, we don't want to run too many macros all the time. I know the export in PDF from Workspace will freeze the headers because I froze it on the template in Fin Rptg Studio, so how come the freeze headers don't translate in Excel?

Actually that's what I thought so that I won't have to run the config utility for a client install. When I did the Typical installation it gave me an option at he end of an install to run the Config utility or not.
As far as the registery cleaning is concerned, there are probably 100 entries all over the place. Pain the neck but I guess that would be my only option here.
With the vpd.properties file, I can definitly say that in 9.3.1.3 it is there. I have the same version installed on my machine and I have the vpd.properties file.
So, I think the bottom line would be to uninstall everything related to Hyperion.
Clean the registery for all Hyperion entries.
Reboot and reinstall.
Thanks for the reply though.

Imovie import freezes

I have iMovie 10.0.3. I am attempting to import media into a new project. The import pane opens, but my favorites (desktop and user) are grayed out. Next to them I just get spinning wheels, so I cannot access anything on my HD. I tried doing a drag and drop import, but that wouldn't work either.
I've done the trash-the-preferences-and-restart dance, but no luck there.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello:
I was having the same problem with iMovie 08 when trying to import "old" movies from 8mm or VHS video tape. It worked for a while but it seemed the more video that I tried to import the more it froze. I came across this other article where the person said that iMovie 08 is just going to freeze and that Apple will probably never fix it (this is probably true and iMove 08 is more geared toward non-tape imports). I was also having problems where the import from a firewire camera would have incorrect dates, this also caused problems and led me to figure out some new tricks.
Notes:
*The files in the iMovie Events directories are named as follows:
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
*If your thumbnails don't show up correctly, or at all, don't reimport your video, or you can import it from that point forward. Just close iMovie 08, delete the iMovie Cache and iMovie Thumbnails directories in that directory and restart iMovie. iMovie will rebuild this data competely.
* Import anything from tape via a video interface or firewire using iMovie HD.
** What I do from here is break up the files and export them to an iMovie Events directory with a file name that represents the date and time like above. When you open iMovie it will rebuild the cache and thumbnail data cataloges and they will appear just as if you had imported them from a camera that had the time and date information embedded in the file.
This may seem time consuming (and it is) but it is very accurate and is much less frustrating than having the machine freeze up on every import!

Elements import freezes at 82%

I am trying to import my photos from my pictures library and the program freezes at 82%. I have windows 7 64 bit, 8 gig ram, 750 gig SSD combo drive.
Anyone have any suggestions?

What are the file types that you are trying to import? Also can you try following things:-
1) Try to import a small set of media and then see if it freezes
2) Try to import all media in a new catalog.

Import freeze

Anytime I attempt to import a movie imovie freezes on me. This occurs regardless of whether I actually attempt to import or not. Whenever I open import movie, even if I cancel out of it, I have to force quit.

Hi rj,
welcome to this forum
there are many reasons...
* do you record onto internal drive? switch off file-vault (if you don't know what it is, forget this point)
* you need lots of free space, 1h dv = ~12Gb, plus, your Mac likes some 4 - 6 free Gigs just "for fun"
* you record onto external drive? do you "daisy-chain" (camera>>external drive>>Mac) or do you use both fw connectors of Mac?
* is your extranl drive connected via usb or fw? usb doesn't work...-
* how it is formatted? many "out of the box working" hds, are PC/Fat formatted...- that doesn't compute with iM, needs to be re-formatted (utilities folder/drive utility) into "Mac" hfs+
come back, if that doesn't work either......

Possible iTunes and CD import freeze workaround

I have been dealing with this problem of iTunes locking up while trying to import a CD. I think I have found a workaround for this issue. I insert the CD into my drive,(do not have iTunes automatically open on CD insert.) and I copy the songs that I want onto my external Firewire drive. (You could copy the files to your own internal drive too. Just don't copy them into an iTunes folder) Once that is complete, I eject the CD and open iTunes. I then go through the import dialog in iTunes to import the files from the Firewire drive, or I just drag and drop the files onto my iTunes library screen. The songs then will import. But I need to go in and then input all the song names, artist, etc. I have found this to work, but I think Apple needs to address this issue since there are alot of posts concerning this problem.

I'm assuming you're using the Finder to pull the audio data (recognized by Finder as AIFF tracks) from the CDs. This is not an optimal ripping method by any means, as absolutely no error checking is possible (audio CDs aren't data CDs so they don't have any built-in error correction information on them), and so on.
Much simpler would be to use Max as your digital audio extractor. It doesn't hang like iTunes sometimes can, it can be quit gracefully, provides robust audio extration techniques, supports full tagging of output files, and even allows for the files to be added automatically to the iTunes library.

Iphoto import freezes preventing me from logging out

Iphoto suggest I'm still trying to import a file but I cancelled the operation as it seemed to be taking too long but it doesn't seem to recognise that the task was cancelled. It's left me in a strange position that I can't do some operations as the iphoto importing must be taking presidence over some other operations. e.g it wont let me logout or restart the computer.
Regards
john

Hi Terence,
I was eventually able to use the iphoto force quit after I removed the printer/scanning device. Before inporting I had scanned a document but received a connection error. I don't know if it was coincidence or not but once I removed the device I was able to use the force quit option.
Thanks for your assistance

The Import Freezes at last second

When I take any CD it will stop One second before completion.
Hanging and not completing the import-

So simply changing the profile AFTER the originals were saved with a SWOP profile won't enlarge the gamut... right?
There isn't a significant gamut difference between SWOP and US Sheetfed—the ColorSync Utility shows SWOP as slightly larger:
Sheetfed does allow for more total ink density (350) and dot gain, so if you send SWOP to a sheetfed press you'll likely see darker images unless the press person holds back the ink (in that case you will lose gamut). SWOP top Sheetfed bottom:

Mail Import freezing

I recently upgraded my HDD to a hybrid drive. I used a Time Machine back-up to recover the files and the whole process went very smoothly. However I went to use Mail for the first time and it told me it had to import the messages, however, it has frozen about half way through. I have tried it twice but it still seems to do the same thing. What should I do? Will I lose all my folders and flags? Thanks.

You posted in the Mountain Lion community. I'll ask the hosts to move your thread.
Try running the combo update.

LR 3 freeze when trying to import (with a workaround)

Hi,
Windows XP SP3
Core i7 with 4 GB RAM (3 in use)
I had mentioned this in the previous IMPORT FREEZE thread, but that thread go pretty long and convoluted so I thought I would isolate the particular problem that I (and many others) are having.
Problem is that when hitting the IMPORT button (or doing a drag and drop, or using the menu to select IMPORT), the screen freezes. Most of the time the cursor arrow is frozen on the Import button. LR thinks that it is in Import mode but there is no UI. To get out of this frozen mode you just have to hit the escape key, and LR dismisses the (non-existent) Import screen and continue to function normally.
Sometimes the Import screen is partially drawn. I think this happens if the Import mode had worked previously in this session (like it does right after a complete re-boot).
The problem is that once this problem shows up, while you can get out of the frozen program (by hitting the esc key) there is no way to import files into LR without re-booting.
Workaround:
This morning I realized that since the problem seems to be with drawing the Import screen, that maybe Auto-Import would work, and at least I would have the import function back. So I tried it and it works perfectly. I just download to the HD using another method to get the files from the memory card to the HD, and then move the files to the watch folder (after you enable Auto-Import). Set the preview to minimal so the "import" can go as fast as it can.
Hope this helps, and if Adobe or anyone else with this specific import problem has additional info, please post it hear. I know other people are having problems with the actual import, but let's keep those in a seperate thread (at least that is my suggestion).
Thanks in advance.

First let me say I appreciate your 2cts worth. I am learning more about this issue with every post. That's the great thing about forums. It brings the smart people with the passion for making life easier for others together, learning a bit more at the same time.
Before I downloaded the trial version I checked the system requirements. Lightroom is built for systems several years old. Here are my PC specs:
- Dell Studio 1737
- Windows Vista Home Premium w/SP1
- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6500 @ 2.10GHz
- 6 GB RAM
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
- 64-bit Operating System
This should be more than enough to run the most demanding Lightroom tasks. Your thoughts?

Ipod freezes when trying to import cds

This just happened a few days ago. I have been trying to import cds, but can't because the song that I am trying to import freezes. When I click quit nothing happens. Internet explorer also freezes, and I have to turn my computer off manually.
I thought it was because I recently downloaded Internet Explorer 8, but that isn't the problem because I uninstalled it and it is still happening.
I even tried to uninstall itunes and quicktime, but nothing happens.
This is very frustrating because I can't get in contact with Apple because they say my warranty has expired, and I will have to pay $29.00 for a one time call.
Based on these discussions, I am not the only one having the same type of problem. Apple seems to know about it, but is doing nothing.

I meant importing cds to my ipod. I found out the hard way that some can't be imported. My computer crashed because of it. I just bought a new one.
I contacted my virus prtection provider, and was told that the problem maybe that it wasn't compatible with other programs I was running on my computer.
The only program I can think of is internet explorer 8. I had just downloaded it when it started to occur.
I contacted microsoft before the crash, and they said to contact apple which I couldn't because my warranty had expired.
Anyway, I am done with putting music on ipods. I am just going to use itunes to sync and recharge my ipod. When it stops working I'll just get rid of it.
