Computer froze while loading themes

I am new to IDVD. I have a few questions.
1) I have a slide show created in iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 that I wanted to save with idvd. is it better to add the transitions and music while in iphoto or do that in idvd?
2) what are the drop zones in idvd?
3) last night i opened idvd with the slideshow. It prepared the photos and exported (222 photos no transition, no music.) I clicked on new project and it said it was loading themes. Well it never loaded the themes. It ran for an hour and 15 minutes and nothing happened. I had to force a shutdown of the computer. has anyone experienced this and how do I fix it?
Thank you.

Greetings,
1) I have a slide show created in iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 that I wanted to save with idvd. is it better to add the transitions and music while in iphoto or do that in idvd?
If you are making the slideshow in iPhoto you must make all your changes there. Once a movie / slideshow from iMovie or iPhoto hits iDVD it is a finished product.
2) what are the drop zones in idvd?
Drop zones allow you to customize the themes provided and add visual appeal to your project. Drag in a still picture or a movie and it will be added to the drop zone and play as part of theme.

If you are new to iDVD consider going through all the video tutorials as they give you a nice introduction to iDVD and it's features (not to mention the other iLife Applications): http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#idvd
Hope that helps.

Recover folders after the computer froze while moving them

Hello,
while moving files from one drive to another my imac mid 2011 froze and had to be restarted. Unfortunately, all of the folders now can't be accessed. I can see them in grey in the destination drive, the size is the right one but I have no way to get inside the folder. I guess it must be in a cache somewhere. The folders are not longer in the origin drive.
Is there a way to recover them ?
Thank you

ok well for anyone who has the same problem, we left it plugged in, and restarted the computer, and the iPod is fine.

Software upgrade 'froze' while loading-didnt 'restore'

My upload of the newest version froze while I was loading it...It was at 10 of 11 and never got to the 'restore' portion of the load. I have no info on my phone - contacts are gone and settings are back to standard settings. My desktop manager is getting 'stuck' too- HELP! I am not a tech nerd, but need one!

At what point is the Desktop Manager getting stuck?
Check your My Documents folder to see if you have a LoaderBackup IPD file in there. If it's not there do a search on your computer for any IPD files. That file contains the contents of your device when the backup was made. If it's there you can go into Backup and Restore | Restore then double click on the IPD file when that window opens up. Doing so will restore all of the information back onto your phone.

Computer froze while download purchases....some songs are lost

While downloading the album "Broken Boy Soldiers" by "The Raconteurs" my computer froze and had to be restarted. When this happened, two of the songs were at the "processing" stage so according to iTunes they were already downloaded when I restarted, however the song files are nowhere to be found. When I did the check for purchases it started downloading the non-downloaded songs, with the exception of those two songs. How do I get them back?

Help. computer froze while installing iwork08

Hi
I'm really new to mac computers and I don't know how to fix a frozen imac. I bought it a few weeks ago and today i installed iwork08. I went to view the iwork tour and my computer froze and went to this dark screen with a gray box in the middle with the apple logo in the middle of this box. I don't know how to get out of this as nothing i do gets me out of this. I have no clue how to deal with this and help would be much appreciated! thanks

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions!
The screen display you describe is not a common one,
and I'm not sure why the computer did that; but for a
start, you could see if starting the computer up from
off (press power button until the computer shuts off)
and after the start tone, hold the Shift key down; &
keep holding it down until after you get a screen with
your login window. This should say SafeBoot, in it too.
Login, and let the computer desktop continue to form;
and then choose GO in the Finder menu bar, click on
Utilities folder, and when that opens, find Disk Utility,
and open it. Choose in Disk Utility the click on item
'repair disk permissions' and let it run through until
done, then quit Disk Utility. Restart the computer from
the menu beneath the blue Apple, and hope it boots.
You may have to use the OS X software disc1 that
came with the computer (a DVD) and start the Mac
from that system boot disc, to try and use a different
version of Disk Utility accessed in a menu bar option
beneath the Installer's menu bar once that disc boots
the computer. To boot from this system disc, you'd
need to hold the C key down on startup. Do not run
the Installer itself, the optional items are in a menu
that drops down from the main Installer header if
you click on the words along the top. Disk Utility is
among the options there. (To exit D.U., after running
'repair disk' - and also - 'repair disk permissions' you
would choose startup disk from a menu option.)
...If you have a wireless bluetooth keyboard, this may
not be possible. A USB keyboard is the best tool in
using keyboard commands on bootup or to run these
kinds of things. If you have a BT keyboard, get a USB.
{There is a way to run some system items from behind
the GUI by using something called 'single user mode'
but that is a bit deep for a first time user and better
looked into before you have an issue, to learn about it.}
I'm not sure all of what could've been behind this issue,
or the resulting screen; and there may be something else
going on there. Most of that is uncharacteristic of Mac
OSX. There are preventative maintenance routines that
should become a second nature to using this system;
and they will come with time. They forgo some issues.
In most cases, before and after installing software and
also when installing updates or upgrades to the system,
you would 'repair disk permissions' using the computer's
installed Disk Utility as found in the Applications folder
and inside that, the Utilities Folder. (To use GO is faster.)
If this works, to boot into SafeBoot, run Disk Utility's
repair disk permissions, and restart normally, that'd be
good. Otherwise, you could try several other things.
Including attempting to boot from the system installer
disc1 and choose Disk Utility from that Installer's menu
bar (drop down menu options) the use 'repair disk' and
also after that is run, use 'repair disk permissions.'
If there is a report of an error note that and run the
same choice one more time, to get a clear report.
When those are done, and if there are no bad things
in the resulting report window (just stuff fixed, etc)
then choose to restart from startup disk in the Mac's
own system, and see what happens...
To post here, what computer did you use? A Mac?
A helpful tool to have and use as part of a preventative
routine is free, and accesses the system's own tools
to run them from a nicer user interface; the one I like
runs free and is called OnyX. Titanium Software's site
has links to download the correct version for your OSX.
I have mine set to automatically restart after running a
selection I make from that tool's Automation section.
The preferences in there can be customized, also.
Good luck & happy computing!

Computer froze while iPod plugged in -still plugged in

I had just plugged in my new iPod for the first time and after about an hour of loading the computer froze. It is still plugged in to the other computer (I have two). What should I do and what can I expect? I have not reset the computer yet, it is still frozen, and the iPod says do not disconnect.
Please help!

ok well for anyone who has the same problem, we left it plugged in, and restarted the computer, and the iPod is fine.

Computer froze while updating. iTunes has disappeared

I was updating my iTunes when my computer froze and now my iTunes has been deleted and I can no longer reinstall. I have tried to download iTunes in the most updated version, but I cannot actually proceed with the download. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I have tried rebooting my computer. I have also looked in the Control Panel to see if the program was there, and it's as if the program has completely vanished from my computer. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

i assume your computer froze during the update operation, leaving your installation in a unstable state. after restart you are not able to access anything. if that is the case, i think the best option is to use a arch installation disk/usb to boot and finish the update.
1. create a bootable meadia - cd/usb and boot using that
2. mount the partitions
3. arch-chroot to the mounted root partition
4. run pacman -Syu
if the above is not the case, please give more details.
thanks

Computer froze while updating - Can't use gnome/cinnamon

Hello
Today I tried to update but then my computer froze. After restarting archlinux I couldn't login into my gnome or cinnamon. I also have openbox installed where I have no access to a terminal.
If I try to use gnome/cinnamon it redirects me to the linux shell. I tried to reinstall gnome/cinnamon but it didn't have any effect.
Any ideas what I can try?
edit
I also have no access to my filemangers in openbox and gnome terminal doesn't work either.

Ipod classic froze while loading game

yeah i was trying to play a game but it froze, it kept playing the song but once it finished that stopped too, so now its just frozen on the loading screen. i plugged it into my computer and the little safley remove hardware things there but it doesnt show up on anything else. when itunes eventually realises that there is an ipod attached it just says that it needs to be restored. when i click this the only thing that happens is that itunes freezes too. how can i fix this?

I also have stability problems with my iPod, often related to iQuiz.
My iPod however is a 3rd gen Nano with the latest firmware update.
I observe two kinds of crashes:
a) about once every two hours when actively using the iPod, i. e. not just listening to music but also doing things like changing IQ settings, searching songs, selecting playlists, playing games, ...)
=> the iPod suddenly reboots and then functions as usual.
b) happened twice in ca. 2 months when playing iQuiz:
=> The Nano freezes completely.
There's a loud buzzing sound for the headphones.
The screen shows the iQuiz layout but no text.
The iPod does not respond at all, also not to resetting like "hold on-off, then pressing menu and enter for 6-8 seconds".
The only fix I have found is to let the battery run empty. Then recharge.
I have restored factory settings with no success. I have had multiple crashes of type a) since then, and the second crash of type b) was after the factory reset.
As far as I recall the crashes started after a firmware-upgrade to 1.1.3.
Unfortunately I found no way to downgrade firmware for the iPod.
In general iQuiz seems to be a buggy game.
- iQuiz Music Quiz 2 asks misleading questions for compilations: Like "Song xyz was recorded in ...?" But the date asked for is that of the compilation. So Music Quiz doesn't filter out compilations or albums with "Best of", "Greatest Hits", ... in the title.
- Sometimes the song that I am asked about is not playing back: Like "The title of this song is ...?", but then there is nothing to be heard.
Still, no matter how buggy iQuiz is, the iPod should not crash.
But I have also had crashes when exiting from playlists. So the stability problems are not solely related to games and iQuiz specifically.

COMPUTER FROZE WHILE INSTALLING SNOW LEOPARD

Help! My computer froze and now my iPod won't turn on or be recognised/work

My computer froze while my iPod was plugged in. I had to shut down the computer by holding the shut down button and my iPod said 'OK to disconnect' and I then disconnected and it looked normal (on menu), then I turned it off, connected it to the computer (after restarting) and it didn't come up/work/be recognised in iTunes and after I did 'safely remove hardware' (which took ages) on the computer I tried to turn on my iPod and it's not working. It's not on lock and I've pressed all buttons, it's not working. Please help. This won't have deleted all my music, play counts and everything will it? Thankyou so much

Good news! I was so bored that my iPod wasn't working, I was going to read the Warranty booklet but instead pulled out the 'quick start' book and it said to hold the select and menu button until the apple logo comes on and it worked. My iPod's back alive and it seems to have all the music I put on there before the computer froze! Will it have lost play counts before that or not? It's not big cause I pay little attention anyway but it's still annoying

My iphone froze while syncing an update. I got it running by restoring it but photos gone! I synced with computer and they did not come back.

my iphone 4 froze while syncing an update. i got it running by restoring it to original settings. i synced with computer but pictures wont come back. How do I get them?

When the restore finished, did you "Set up as new phone" or "Restore from backup?"
When was your last backup?

I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
