Computer locks up trying to "generate thumbnails".

Had a corrupted Catalog. Repaired Catalog. Adobe said it would rebuild thumbnails next time program started. Ever since it locks up before finishing thumbnails.

Using the BIOS CPU multiplier option, I changed the multiplier from Default to 11.5 on my Athlon 1600+ XP. Both MBM5 and FuzzyLogic4 report a clock change from 1403 MHz to 1537 MHz. (Last night I began tweaking my K7N420D after upgrading BIOS from 2.6 to 2.7.)
The FSB is still my habitual 133/266/66. I've never used an unlocking kit or made changes to the hardware. Did I somehow receive an unlocked 1600+XP CPU? Is there another explanation?

Computer locks when trying to change multiplier

My computer locks up in the BIOS when I try to access the CPU Clock Ratio menu option. Ever since I upgraded Bios to 2.70 on my MS-6373 K7N420 Pro I have been running at 1100 MHz instead of 1400 ( I have an Athalon 1700 ). My system also locks when I try to access the menu option about CPU Fan. What can I do? I'd like to get my processor back to 1400MHz. I figured it would be a multiplier thing.
Thanks!
Vince

My imac 21.5" 2010 model heats up in the top left corner (backside) when iphoto is on ad trying to generate thumbnails? Can anyone help as to why this is. It has been serviced and passed all heating tests? Thanks in advance

I just had my iMac sent away for repair as it kept heating up to the point where you could not touch the top left corner of the machine. It really only heats up when i open iPhoto and it is generating thumbnails for all the events. (Some reason it has lost all the thumbnails).
The Mac came back yesterday and they replaced the fans and cleaned out the machine and it has passed all heating tests.

As user Seventy one recommended above, the "iStatPro" Free software is very useful in determining just how hot your internal hardware components are getting. You could post some of the temp readings from it here so we can comment on them.

Need some help trying to generate thumbnail images from large Jpegs

Hello,
I have some ActionScript 3.0 code, created with Flex that
will load a large JPEG image (say 3000x2000 pixels) that I'm trying
to create a 100 pixel thumbnail. I have the code working where I
generate the thumbnail, but it's not maintaining the aspect ratio
of the original image. It's making it square, filling in white for
the part that doesn't fit.
I've tried just setting the height or width of the new
image, but that doesnt render well, either.
To see what I'm talking about, I made a screen shot, showing
the before image, and the rendered as thumbnail image:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/taude/533544558/.
Now, there's a few things important to note. I'm saving the
thumbnail off as a JPEG. As you can see in my sample application,
the original renders fine with the proper aspect ratio, it's when
I'm copying the bytes off the bitmapdata object, where I need to
specify a width and height, that the trouble starts. I've also
tried using .contentHeight and .contentWidth and some division to
manually specify a new bitmapdatasize, but these values seem to
always have NaN.
private function makeThumbnail():void{
// create a thumbnail of 100x100 pixels of a large file
// What I want to create is a a thumbnail with the longest
size of the aspect
// ratio to be 100 pixels.
var img:Image = new Image();
//Add this event listener because we cant copy the
BitmapData from an
/// image until it is loaded.
img.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE,
imageLoaded);
img.width=100;
img.height=100;
img.scaleContent=true;
img.visible = true;
// This is the image we want to make a thumbnail of.
img.load("file:///C:/T5.jpg");
img.id = "testImage";
this.addChildAt(img, 0);
private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
// Grab the bitmap image from the Input Image and
var bmd:BitmapData =
getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(UIComponent(event.target));
//Render the new thumbnail in the UI to see what it looks
theImage.source = new Bitmap(bmd); //new Bitmap(bmd);
public static function
getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(component:UIComponent):BitmapData
var bmd:BitmapData = new
BitmapData(component.width,component.height );
bmd.draw(component);
return bmd;

Dev is 10gR2 and Prod is earlier version of Oracle, 10gR1.
The schema (or table(s)) export file created by Oracle Database Control in Oracle 10gR2 is not importable into 10gR1, by default.
Workaround.
Use the Schema (table(s) export wizard of in the Maintenance section
of the Oracle Database Control in ver 10R2,
but when you get to the end of the wizard (I recall Step 5),
show the data pump export source PL/SQL code, cut and past to editor,
and find the variable where you can set the Oracle database version
to your prod database version,
then run the script from the SQL Plus prompt in 10gR2 dev,
and this creates an Oracle 10gR1 compatible data export file.
Then go to Prod and run the schema (table(s)) import data wizard,
and import the export file. You will have to option to move the data
to another schema or tablespace if required.
Just to not run into troubles, I use the same schema and tablespace name
in both dev and prod.
the variable you must modify in the 10gR2 datapump export script looks like
h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
and you must change manually to
h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => '10.1.0.1');
This creates a 10g1.0.1 or later compatible export data file.
You must have read/write privileges to the folder were the export data file will be created, and imported from. (Oracle Directory Object)

Imovie is freezing up my entire computer when it gets to generating thumbnails.

Automatic Import and "Generating Thumbnails"

I just installed imovie 08, and I have a couple of problems/questions.
1) When I start the Import Process, the Toggle that selects for Automatic or Manual import, goes to Manual and I can't change it..???
2) After some video is imported the computer takes a long time "generating Thumbnails". This never happened with iMovie HD.
Any comments, advice?
Thanks.. Gil

2) After some video is imported the computer takes a long time "generating Thumbnails". This never happened with iMovie HD.
After importing the video, iMovie '08 creates a tiny movie showing the same frames as the imported video, but in a much smaller frame. Those are the "thumbnails". This movie is used for skimming.
iMovie HD didn't offer the skimming feature so it didn't need to build these thumbnails.

Explorer crashing when generating thumbnails view for large (4GB) video (.TS) files

I am suffering consistent application crashes in Windows Explorer when it tries to generate thumbnails.
The error is reported as COM Surrogate has stopped working with an APPCRASH of dllhost.exe in module msvcrt.dll.
This only but always happens in the following circumstances. A folder set to view tiles or icons (with thumbnail view option NOT disabled). This folder contains several sub-folders, each of which contain video files. As explorer scans the
folder and its sub-folders, generating thumbnails for each, whenever it encounters a video file (.TS) that is 3.99GB or larger. COM surrogate crashes again. Closing COM Surrogate will then allow explorer to continue to scan the remaining sub-folders
until it encounters the next large file.
If I subsequently open one of the sub-folders where it crashed trying to generate a thumbnail, and refresh the folder, it will successfully generate a thumbnail for the video file. If I then return to the main folder and change the customization of the sub-folder
from video to document and back to video, explorer then successfully generates the folder icon with the inset video thumbnail.
I have tried this in safe mode and the problem persists.
Can anybody please help as I am pulling my hair out.

Hi Roger.
Almost all of my media files are TS, and all of my large (4GB) files are TS files, so I cannot tell if other file types have the same problem. I did try renaming the TS files to be .mpg (they still play as mpg) but this did not help.
However, I have downloaded and used ShelleExView and this has proved very useful. For the benefit of anyone else with a similar problem and using this very useful tool, I will detail the technique I used.
First, using ShellExView, I disabled various groups of extensions to identify which, if any, were relevant. After disabling/enabling each set I performed a system restart to ensure the changes took effect. This was not actually necessary as restarting
Windows Explorer (via Task Manager) works equally well (but this loses my customm Taskbar toolbar).
Also, before re-opening the folders containing the problem files, I deleted the icon cache (I could have done this manually but chose to use CCleaner's delete Thumbnail Cache option as this was quick and easy). I then viewed the folders containing
the problem files, watching to see what effect the changes in ShellExView had made.
Using ShellExView, I progfessively disabled by Type (e.g. Thumbnail, Icon Handler), then by Company (e.g. non-Microsoft), then by Product (e.g. MS Office, Windows Search). The result was that I identified the extension that was creating the thumbnails:
Icaros Thumbnail Provider (installed as part of the K-Lite codec pack).
Hoping I had found the cause, I removed K-Lite from my system and checked again. No thumbnails (as expected), but COM Surrogate continued to crash (I have subsequently reinstalled K-Lite as I need this to play my media files). Further analysys
with ShellExView then identified a further problem extension: Microsoft's MF MPEG Property Handler.
With both extensions (Icaros Thumbnail Provider & MF MPEG Property Handler) disabled, COM Surrogate does not crash. With either one enabled, but not the other, COM Surrogate crashes. These two extensions are therefore both individually causing
the crashes. This leads me to wonder if they perhaps have something in common (e.g. a dll).
Although disabling these extensions stops the crashes, I of course alos lose what they provide: file details (e.g. media length etc.) and thumbnails. So simply disabling them is not a solution.
Is it possible to idenitfy what, if anything, they have in common (which may be the true culprit)?
Alternatively, are there other ways I can continue to obtain file property information and thumnails without using these extensions?

IMovie '11 freezes while trying to generate iPhoto thumbnails

So I need to move videos from iPhoto to iMovie '11. iMovie said I had to generate thumbnails before I could do that so I pressed ok. The pop-up window shows "generating thumbnails Processing Event: iPhoto Videos Time Remaning: " the window said it would take a few minutes, but after two hours, there has been no progress made (at all) in the progress bar and there isn't even a number after time remaining. I've been trying to look up answers but no luck. It's like the application has frozen, but I don't get the spinning rainbow and the force quit pop-up doesn't indicate that there are any problems. I've already tried updating, force quitting(that is the only way I can quit), deleting com.apple.iMovie.plist and relaunching the program, shutting down my computer, and now I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any more trouble shooting tips?

Hi
iMovie is an Non Destructive Video Editing application - and works like this
as an example: in Project's there are NO movie at all - just a text document pointing to where video, photos and Audio is stored and HowTo play it (parts of it) into the Movie You are making.
So if raw material is moved or if Library documents got corrupted - iMovie get's lost and can't save it self.
MY GUESS - is that iPhoto Library file got mixed up one way or another. So by forcing iPhoto to sort this out - usually helps. And You do this by (TAKES LOT'S of time - 6 to 12 hours most common to me)
• Close all programs - and Mac till Turned OFF
• Connect Mac to Mains/Mains adaptor (AS THIS TAKES TIME)
• Start up Mac
• Start iPhoto - BUT KEEP - alt- and cmd-keys down during full up-start.
• SELECT All Options
• Let Your Mac be - till done - NO surfing or any other background processes
When done
• Start iMovie and see if it now finds all parts.

Computer locks up, so I want to reinstall the OS. I had upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Tried to do an archive and install from the DVD that came with the computer, but that failed.
Tried to do an erase and install, but the install stops somewhere near the end, 13 minutes to go. Tried several times, same result.
Can't reboot from the install disk, it just ejects the disk and I get the flashing question mark.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think my hard drive is toast. When I boot in single user mode, I get the following text:

These messages keep repeating with the numbers (xxxxxxxxx) changing with each iteration.
Does this indicate a bad hard drive?

Trying to import video files. Clock on files and hit import. Imovie says generating thumbnails and importing. Then after loading, no movies there. help?

My 14 year old son is trying to import videos into iMovie. He's done this a dozen times before with no problem. Here is what he's doing "I went to import movies, clicked on the idv files and hit import. On iMovie it said "generating thumbnails, and importing". Then it gave the loading sign. When it was done, none of the movies/videos were in Imovie. He needs to have this done as a xmas gift for a friend by Thursday .

After much research and troubleshooting, GoToMeeting replied with the final answer: We do not support the uploading of recordings to editing software. If you are having issues uploading a recording, unfortunately, we do not have tools or steps to resolve this. It is not a supported feature. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
The no longer plan to support editing of recordings made with their software. So, we are planning to find a new meeting provider.

Does the computer lock me after a certain amount of failed password attmepts, even when i finally have the correct password? recently changed root account password, but then forgot today and when tried again didn't work. if so, how long does lock last?

Ok. So I just changed my ADMINISTRATIVE ROOT PASSWORD the other day and when I tried to log in today I forgot it. I tried different variations of
the password I had set, because I wasn't sure if i had maybe set it in Caps Lock or used a different number in the sequence. I got the message several times
about "too many attempts, try again later". Does the computer lock me from signing in even with the correct password after a certain amount of failed
attempts? If so, how long does this lock last for? When can I try again? Or is there something I need to do to remove that lock now? I'm pretty sure I
had the right password finally but it still wouldn't accept it.
Also, I don't have any other administrative users set up on my macbook pro. I'm the only one who uses it, so I've always just used that original User from my
original setup.

Do this:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime. (command + s on newer Macs)
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can change the passord on the old one.

My computer just had to get a new hard drive and we reloading info onto the new hard drive...my iphoto pics are all, there save about 8, but there are NO thumbnails. I tried rebuilding the thumbnails...nothing. I tried creating a new library...nothing.

I have recently had to purchase a new battery and hard drive. Because it wouldn't back up completely, I was able to recover most information, but it looked a bit different or I have found items in different places. One thing that is happening is in iphoto. All my pics are there, but there are NO thumbnails visible. I have tried rebuilding the thumbnails...nothing. I have tried creating a new library...no info even transferred. Any suggestions?

What version of iPhoto?
Can you view the pics at full size?

Imovie 9.09 unable to generate thumbnails on my iMac running 10.6.8

I'm trying to digitise camcorder footage currently saved on vhs tape. Although I'm now using a 27"iMac running Yosemite, I don't have the usb lead with the std usb connector on the computer end to connect the digitiser to it, so I'm using my old iMac running 10.6.8 and iMovie 9 as I have the correct lead for that iMac.
I did a test one minute file transfer and this digitised, opening it in iMovie 10, ok so I saved it onto a USB stick and transferred it to the 27" iMac though without any content displayed in the clip. Even so, it plays ok so I'd be content if the remaining tapes got digitised with this problem. But.....
When I tried to import 2 hours as one file the conversion appeared to be going ok until I stopped it. I then got a message saying that it was generating thumbnails and would take a minute. this changed to 2, then 9, then 2 hours, then 4 hours. After it had been running for 12 hours with no change in the 4 hours estimated for generating the thumbnails i did a force quite, then tried to get back into iMovie.
When it opened, it went straight into generating thumbnails, estimating the time needed as 9 minutes. It's now been stuck on "less than a minute" for about 30 mins so I'm about to do another force quit.
All suggestions welcomed, ideally to generate thumbails in the shortest time possible - though I'd be content just to get the file transferred with no thumbnails.
Advice please.

Save the photos to the camera roll on the iPad, then connect it to your computer with a USB cable. You can import the photos using iPhoto if you have it or image capture if you don't.
