Facetime picture freezes A LOT

Hi my mom and I have iphones and we facetime A LOT since i'm away at college. We've always had issues with the picture disconnecting (and only being able to hear eachother through audio) but it's getting worse and now even when the picture is there she says my picture is distorted alot. her picture isnt too bad usually on my iphone4s...sometimes freezes or skips alot but i think that's due to her having a low wifi signal...but what reasons could there be for her iphone4 to constantly loose the visual picture and having a distorted picture when she's looking at me from her phone when i have a strong wifi signal? it's gotten worse since i updated my phone to IOS7 but her phone isnt showing the update option yet.

I see...thanks for the replys is there anything i can do to improve the quality of the video call beyond getting a better internet connection? the reason i ask is b/c my mom and i will both have full wifi signals and itll still freeze sometimes

When I FaceTime friends in Tenerife, the video is on for a few seconds then their picture freezes followed by a blank screen with a Poor Connection message. When they Facetime back, the video is perfect. Has anybody any ideas?

I had this same thing happen to me. I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.

Lightroom 2.6 freezes a lot

I am using LR2.6 with a catalog of about 39000 pictures, on a 64-bit W7 machine with 12g memory. I keep everything in DNG, and export to JPG as needed. The catalog keeps freezing up, and won't let me do anything, sometimes for several minutes at a time. It opens again and is ok for a little while and then it freezes again, sometimes with one or more white panels and a notification that "Lightroom has stopped responding." Sometimes it will go a long time without that happening, other times it is every few seconds.

I think part of the key is to optimize the catalog regularly every couple of days.
Whatever the magic is, somehow the problem seems to have disappeared in
my workflow. I have a catalog of 40,000 DNG pictures, a W7 64-bit, 12g
RAM, quad core and tons of internal and external HD space. I have three
LaCie 2TB external drives, on USB, one of which contains all the DNG
files in my catalog. I backup and optimize the catalog
every few days, which I guess must be the key to something. Other than
that, I cannot think of anything I am doing that is much different from
what I have always done, but somehow things are working smoothly at the
moment. Knock wood. I hope things improve for you as they did for me,
but there are still plenty of mysteries. Maybe Adobe will sneak in some
fixes in their updates (without ever admitting that there were
significant problems in the first place!) and things will keep getting
better.

Subject: Lightroom 2.6 freezes a lot
I am having a very similar issue with very similar computer. 50,000 images in catalog, i7 920 cpu, 12GB ram, Windows 7 x64.
LR is freezing all the time between 5 and 50 minutes of use. driving me nuts!
I thought I had some bad RAM so I ran memtest86+ for 24hrs and it checked out OK.
I thought it was my RAID array so i ran integrity checks and it came out OK.
I went back to thinking it was RAM and removed all but 2 sticks and tried to re-import my images (thinking maybe also corrupt catalog) and it would freeze at around 11000 images. Swapped RAM for another pair and it happened again.
Then I thought it was a memory leak in LR2.6 so I put all my RAM back and re-imported my images and it was successful and has been running for 3 days straight with no freezes.
so all i think I did was change the order of the RAM (and re-seat it)
Anyone figure out what the actual cause and resolution is?

Tried restore OSX mountain lion, doesn't work. what should i do?

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

I actually found under EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

Ios 8 on i phone 5 slow response and freeze a lot

I've updated my i phone 5 to ios 8.0.2 but now it's so slow , freeze a lot and most of the apps crash i turned on my location service nothing changes

As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

Picture Freeze

Wondering if anyone can help. Im trying to burn an 85 minute DVD that was made with HDV footage. it was edited on FCP 6. The DVD burns ok but when i play it the picture freezes every few minutes although the audio doesnt just the picture. am i doing something wrong? If needed i would down covert the project to standard definition although im not sure how to do that? Can anyone can help?

Dave,
iDVD: DV widescreen 16:9 workflow from Final Cut Pro at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305337 is always a good starting point to verify you have done things correctly.
Did you use any chapter markers in FCP?

When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.

For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post
Hope this helps the troubleshooting.

Premiere 2014 MXF Footage Still Crashing, Glitching, Picture Freezes but Audio Plays Fine, Footage Duplicating Itself in Media Bin & Timeline - HitFilm3 pro plays fine!

WTH is going with Premiere? These continuing problems are just getting worse and worse. I just imported 12 hours of MXF footage at 720p and almost all the footage has duplicated itself in my media bin when I import. rather the files are there ie: AA009906.MXF, and so on numerically, but the lengths are all the same, and the picons play the exact same footage within the media bin. So I drag all the footage to the timeline where the footage is all duplicated the same amount of files there are. But not always. Also if I just drag the first file down to timeline, almost the whole disk shows up on the timeline. Finally when playing, after about a couple of minutes, the pictures freezes on some non descript frame for the rest of about 2 hours worth. Then everything all picks up fine. Next chip of files same thing but at different places.
What's really a hoot, is that I just downloaded a trial version of HITFILM3PRO editing software and all my footage plays just fine without any of ADOBE's glitches. Also downloaded AVL Player for MXF files, to which everything plays just fine too.
This is oh so ridiculous that If I weren't laughing so much right now, i'd be on the verge of a heart attack with all this Adobe Crap!
I can't fathom why Adobe isn't paying me to be a Beta Tester, instead of me having to call my new client, Once Again, and tell them that their project is on Hold, Once again, just the same for every project ever since adobe introduced "CREATIVE CLOUD".

That's strange. Can you upload a test file so I can try and replicate the behavior?
You did ingest via the Media Browser after copying the camera's HD cards to your media HD right?
What kind of camera is this?

I don't know why, but you sure do get your fair share of issues. I would be happy to try and help you get through this if I can.

If I erase my iPad mini will it erase ios 7 to ios 6? I'm tired of ios 7, it freezes a lot!

Sorry Kimberly, it will not. Apple does not provide a downgrade path for the iOS for a variety of reasons.

Recordings picture freezing on playback

My Freeview reception is very good and I do not suffer from pixilation or picture freezing while watching live TV.
However on several recordings I have made I get picture freezing (not pixilation) that takes quite a few seconds (20 ish) to clear. Rewinding and replaying gives the same issue.
As I am deleting recordings after watching I have started to wonder whether there could be an issue with the Youview box's hard drive (i.e. I am recording programmes over the same bad sectors of the disc).
Is this possible?
Are there any hidden disc utilities to check the hard drive?

PJ_Maybe,
Did you manage to get to the bottom of this or are you still having trouble?

Qosmio F20: MCE picture freezes for a few seconds

my f20 my media centre tv picture freezes for a few seconds then the processors fan kicks in and the picture comes back. is this connected I have checked the ariel on other devices and the signal is ok

Hello
In my opinion the picture freezes for a few seconds because the CPU starts a new background process. As far as I know similar issues occur if the CPU performance usage goes to 100%.

My iphone facetime picture of me, is foggy ~ anyone know how I might fix this? Thank you in advance

Hi there,
For some reason, my iphone facetime picture of myself is foggy ~ tried resetting it and powering off but no change. Anyone know how I might resolve this? Thank you in advance!

You have to go into iCloud.com, and on the home page there's your name and picture on the top right, click on your name, a box opens, hover over your pic and the edit function appears. Pic a picture and save it. It does work, I've just changed mine

Phone is freezing a lot

Ok my phone has been freezing a lot. If I shut it off and turn it back on, it seems fine until it does it again. More of an annoyance than an actual problem, but what's the deal? I also posted another topic yesterday about it taking forever to get my yahoo mail lately. I don't know if this is yahoo or my phone?
I restored it last night with much trouble (more my piece of #$%@ HP laptop than the phone's problem!) and it still seems to be having the same issues.
Frustrating. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes? Short of throwing the phone in the lake? Or driving to Oakbrook to visit with a mac genius?

I'll assume at the start that you have not jailbroken or hacked your phone, have not added applications (other than webapps). If my assumption is wrong then that is where your problem is.
For unhacked phones the usual cause of this is bad data that has gotten into one or more applications (usually mail or Safari). So first step is to clear Safari data. In Settings/Safari clear cookies, history and cache. Then reboot the phone (Hold HOME and SLEEP for about 8 seconds, until the logo appears; ignore the "Slide to turn off" prompt and keep holding).
Try using the phone for a while without using the Mail app. If you don't have the problem try launching Mail. Again see if the problem returns. If it doesn't you've fixed it. If it returns only after using the Mail app you need to do a Restore, and do not reload backup data. This should fix it, but you will lose and photos in the camera roll, SMS messages, and settings.
If it still shows the problem you most likely have a hardware problem; call or take it to an Apple store for further diagnosis.
