DVD freezes part way through

Hey there,
I'm running the latest OS on a MPB and I used to use iDVD all the time with no problems. I just got a bunch of home vid's emailed to me and I've got them in mp4 format in iDVD I run the burning process and the encoding goes great, the vid will burn up until the "write-out" where the "time until completion" goes from a few minutes to almost an hour then the disc will spit out before it is done and the program does nothing. I play the disc in my dvd player and the menu works fine the video will play for a while then freeze up. What am I doing wrong?

Hi
Free space on internal boot hard disk ?
I set minimum to 25Gb free space for SD 4x3 video and about 5 times more needed for
16x9 HD material.

Migration Assistant freezes part way through

Hi,
Just migrating my old MacBook over to my new MacBook Pro w/ Migration Assistant over network. Was going fine, then an error appeared on old MacBook saying something about a Network connection failure, and the other computer stopped responding. A message about 5 minutes later appeared on the MacBook Pro similar to the first message saying the MacBook had stopped responding. I clicked continue and it still appears to be stuck.
Shall I wait, will they rework the connection or is that game over for this attempt. If so, what state will the new MacBook Pro be in? Does it cancel everything that has happened up until this point, or will it be in a right old mess? I chose the replace users option in Migration assistant.
Thanks!

Since your MacBook is 2 Ghz, I think it has Firewire. If it does, you are better off doing it via Firewire than ethernet. You can get a Firewire 400 to 800 cable from numerous sources. My favorite is http://www.macsales.com/
Ethernet is often slowed down if there is anything else on the network, same as WiFi.
As for wiping the hard drive, you can try without wiping it, however, you may end up with duplicate or incomplete information transfered. Since it is a new machine, extract what you need with target disk mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
And then do the wipe. That way you'll be sure a proper migration has happened.

Rented movie freezes part way through playback

I have recently purchased an Apple TV and have watched 1 full movie on it. Recently I have rented two other movies, the first at approximately 1m 40s and the second at around 24m of playback froze the playback and would not play any further in the movie.
The first movie I complained to Apple about and they have credited me and advised that there was an issue with the movie "not downloading properly" the second has just occurred so I haven't had a chance to complain about this.
Has anyone else had this issue occur for them?

are you guys watching TV late at night. I've noticed that the shows stop working at around 11 to 11.30 pm pacific time. I suppose that iTunes updates their catalogue to include the latest shows that are new and cleared for sale after the night's TV schedule. I think it's poor iTunes judgement to do that. Most people watch TV at night. They should update their catalogue some time in the morning hours.
I usually just unplug my apple TV, restart and then wait for a while to make it work.
If you guys get stuck because you put the show on pause then the remedy is to turn the screen saver off. Switch it to never because then when you pause and iTunes server goes out you don't have to re-authorize the show to continue watching it. That's if you purchased and the show was sownloaded to your apple TV

HT1583 sound stops part way through on burned idvd, but ok on computer edit.

Can anyone help, for the first time having a problem with a burned idvd which the sound stops part way through. If sound turned right up on TV muffled sound
is there. Edited on computer and all works fine with full sound right the way through, only trouble is on the disc. Have tried many discs, so does not appear to
be disc failure.
Appreciate any comments please

Hi
FIRST OF ALL - THE MAJOR ADVICE in this forum EVER !
In iDVD - Before Burning the DVD DO !
Save as a DiskImage
Double click on this .img icon
test the new Pseudo DVD (looks like a white hard disk) with DVD-tool
THEN
• DVD Brand - matters
• DVD type used - matters
• BURN SPEED - matters
• Audio file format - matters
WHAT did You use
I only use
- Verbatim
- DVD-R SL
- x2 max x4 - Best / High - IS NOT BEST
- .aiff - NO .mp3, .wma etc alient formats - from iTune EXPORTED OUT as .aiff ONLY

Captivate 8 - Animated text stops part way through play

I have created a presentation with CAP8 and am finding the animated text does not play out in full, but stops part way through.
eg. animation to type [email protected] and then on a new line same text box [email protected]
slide preview it runs perfectly. In the preview next five slides and in publication it runs all of [email protected] and then freezes after typing johnbe
It actually stops the video it seems, as i can hit play to resume, which will then type out the rr, and will complete the email on a third time hitting play.
I get the same thing on the next slide with two of the three text animations that are running simultaneously, and again on the next slide. I want to point out that this is not just on one slide.
I have changed settings on the properties from " rest of slide" to "Duration of animation", and there is no change. I have lengthened the slide timing just in case that makes a difference, even though I am using Shape buttons to progress to the next slide. No change.
Any suggestions please?
Thank you
Claire

Yes here are a couple of screen shots. I am sorry it doesnt show an exact time but with simulation it is at about the 2.5 second mark for the first stop

Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

I am trying to watch tv shows that i have purchased but part way through the show it pauses and will not allow me to play the show. What do i do?

I am trying to watch a tv show that was purchased but part way through the show it pauses and it will not allow me to continue playing the show.

That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

How do I continue a migration from iPhoto to Photos that was interrupted part way through?

I began a VERY large migration (40k+ photos) from iPhoto (v9.6.1) to Photos on an external hard drive. I have a MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.3 that is connected to a network that has a Synology network drive. The iPhoto library is on that drive and I was wanting to create the Photos library also on the drive.
The process was very slow and has taken days, but that is expected and it was definitely making progress (I could see the files being added over time). Unfortunately, the transfer was interrupted part way through (my kid closed my laptop, which disconnected it from the network). I tried to start it over with the partially created Photos library folder as the destination, hoping that it would pick up where it left off. It worked until it reached the same files that were previously created. The migration stopped at that point, and the following error appeared: "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. There were file system or hardware issues…” I assume the inability to overwrite previous files with the same names was the case of the "file system or hardware issues."
Is there any way to either continue the migration from where I left off, or maybe even manually move the rest of the files over? Or do I have to wipe out the entire partially migrated Photos library and start over?

You probably will have to start over
And I suspect that you are incorrect - as far as I know NO NAS is formatted Mac OS extended - A NAS is basically a Linux computer with no display or keyboard that uses a Linux format drive - a headless computer
Unless you have a directly connected drive correctly formatted you are cgoing to continue to have issues - your photos and your choice what risk you put them at but you are treading in very dangerous water with you set up - is it documented not to work and similar set ups have been reported here hundreds of times as causing major problems and losing lots of stuff

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g - scanning stalls part way through

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g. When I try to scan a large number of documents from the printer to my computer, the printer stalls part way through. Today I had a stack of 45 pages that needed to be scanned. I loaded them into the document feeder on the top of the printer, hit "Scan", "To Computer", chose my computer from the list, "Save as pdf" and start scan.
The printer started scanning, got through about 30 pages and then just froze up. The display screen showed "Now Scanning". I let it sit for over a half an hour, but it did not resume. The only way to get out of the stalled scanning was to turn off the printer and restart it.
This has happened multiple times. Is there a limit on the number of documents that can be scanned at a time?

Hello aksnell,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
In my experience the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus would be best suited to scan such a large amount using the software provided. The printer has a internal memory of 128 MB, that will fill up very fast when scanning into the computer.
I would recommend opening HP Scan on the computer, select .PDF and scan the pages this way. It will still feed from the Automatic Document Feeder and also save all pages to a single file when done.
If you need a hand scanning using the software, replay back with the Operating System installed on your computer, Windows or Mac.
Thanks for posting.

I have just tried to upgrade to the latest version of itunes, and my ipad was connected to my computer at the time. The upgrade crashed part way through. I now cannot start itunes as it says MSVCR80.dll is missing. Anyone got any ideas?

I was upgrading to the latest version of itunes, and my new ipad mini was connected to my computer at the same time, try to sync for the first time. The upgrade crashed part way through, and now itunes won't load and I get an error message saying MSVCR80.dll is missing. How do I do about reinstalling this file?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Embeded Flash files stop loading part way through after update to 10.2

Hello, I am currently having an issue with Flash. After the last update to 10.2, flash files, both audio and video, stop loading part way through them and do not start up again. For instance, on youtube, about 2 minutes worth of video will load but load slowly and then stop completely. The only way to get it to advance is to click past the section that has loaded and it will load the next 2 minutes. On Myspace Music, a song plays about 40 seconds each time and stops completely and will not load anymore, even if I try to skip to another part of the song. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition with Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 64 bit edition as well. Also I have tried clearing my cache, cookings, temp files, removing and installing Flash countless times, including older versions, as well as tried Google Chrome and IE. All give me the exact same issue no matter what I do. It is really frustrating because I cannot watch or listen to anything embeded in Flash online without having to keep clicking the next section every little bit. If anyone can help, please do and I thank you.

Hi, Since your OS is a 64bit, are you using the 32bit browser for IE? I see you have the FF beta. Have they come out with a 64bit browser? I don't follow the FF beta so if that's true, it's news to me.
Let me know,
Thanks,

Hi..can anyone help? Songs on my itunes are not playing to the end? They cut off part way through a song. Its not on all the songs but lots of them? thanks

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

My L7680 intermitently prints gibberish part way through pdf documents.

My printer has recently strated to intermitently print gibberish part way through a pdf document. It happens most often if the document is long, eg more than ~5 pages or if I send several pdf documnets to the print queue. If I resubmit the document for printing, often it comes out OK or it goes wrong later in the document.
I'm running Windows XP and I access the printer through a BT HomeHub wireless. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, resetting the HomeHub and running the HP Diagnostic software with no joy (the latter found no problems). The problem does not seem to occur when printing Word documents.
I hope someone can help.

There have been reports of Vista not working well with older networking equipment. Here's a link to a Microsoft note on this subject.
I also have a couple of other questions:
When the printer stalls, can you ping the printer from the PC? Can you access the printer's internal web page by browsing its IP address?
How is the PC connected to your network (wired or wireless)?
Are there other wireless devices on the network besides your PC and your printer?
When the printer stalls, can you still browse the internet from your PC?
