FCP 7 Freezes During Simultaneous Finder SMB Transfer

Hi everyone!  I'm supporting our video team who uses Final Cut Pro 7 on their new 27" iMacs (OS 10.8.5, 3.4ghz, 3tb Fusion Drive, 32gb RAM) and need some insight into a strange issue.  Every time they conduct a file transfer to our SMB servers on campus (an unrelated file to what they are working on in FCP7), Final Cut will freeze and become essentially useless.  The spinning wheel of death only happens to FCP 7 during the transfer, all other apps function without issue.  I've tried using Terminal to tweak the default SMB transfer settings, however this did not help.  The second the file transfer completes, FCP goes back to normal. This is replicated across both iMacs. 
I checked the activity monitor and it reports there is still 25gb of free memory.  Due to the specs of the machine, I do not believe this to be a resource issue.  I looked through the console logs and didn't find much of anything.  I did find a few lines of the "____ is implemented in both... and...  One of the two will be used.  Which one is undefined" as well as a "ProKit's NSWindow addition -setActiveAppearanceDuringRestore: has been deprecated and does nothing on SnowLeopard... Please remove this call method." However, from what I've already seen on the forums these should not be contributing to this issue.
The next steps I plan are:
1) Try to replicate this issue in Safe Mode to rule out bad plist files
2) Attempt a local (folder to folder) and then a transfer to an external drive to see if the same slowness issue occurs when it is not an SMB transfer
I'll post the results of the above, but are there any other things you guys can think of?  Have you experienced this issue?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Is it possible that it is a product of using 10.8.5 with FCP7?
Could be some change in the SMB protocol. OSX 10.6.8 was the last version that was certified for use with FCS. Anything after that and you (and me) are on our own.
Having said that,  I do not have the same issue. All my network shares are via AFP.
Sorry I can't help you more than that.
Good luck.

  • [Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

    Hello,
    Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
    As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
    It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
    I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
    I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.

  • FCP freezes temporarily during Capture

    Hi
    I've been using FCP for almost 5 years now and I never encountered this problem. I usually use log and capture to bring my footage in. Lately, I noticed that on some clips, the footage will freeze during the capture resulting in a skip/jump cut when I play the imported clip later.
    I am using FCP HD on a 1.8Ghz Mac G5.
    Could anyone advise please?
    T.

    I always set the "on timecode break" setting to "warn after". FCP will capture over timecode(TC) breaks if they are logical and not big. How about your disk configuration, or RAM. Are the disks running full, more than 80% filled? Do you have the proper configuration for the video you are trying to capture? External FW disks will work, but they are not created equal. I would say if you are using external FW800, that you would be all set. Some FW400 have a lower sustained data rate. How about RAM? Running enough, is it after market (some not supported by apple)?

  • IDVD freezing during burn process

    I was trying to burn my DVD project onto a disc and iDVD kept freezing during the middle of it. It just so happened to always freeze during step 2 of the process, but Im not sure if that is just a coincidence or not. Any suggestions at how to get the program to burn my project without freezing up in the middle ?
    Thanks
    I am using iDVD 4

    Thanks dispatx.com, that page was of immense help. I found much of it very encouraging simply knowing that someone has gone through the exact same thing, missing deadlines, sleep, etc.
    I gathered as much info as I could and have successfully burned a DVD image now using the "Easter Egg" hurz & pfurz. Why doesn't apple include that in the program?
    I cleaned up my powerbook prior to burning with OnyX. I trashed the iDVD preferences. I created a new project in iDVD using the same footage I had exported from FCP as QT movies, not self contained. I included songs I downloaded from the iTunes store (debunking the myth that the protected songs foul up the burning process). I held down ctrl and clicked burn, named the image, and then it went to work.
    Timeline:
    6:00am started step 1, 10 secondes later, step 2 begins.
    9:00 Step 3, Asset Encoding begins (Hallelujah, I never could get to this step)
    9:50 Step 4 begins, mulitplexing
    10:20 Image is ready and iDVD is asking me to name the image again, I finally figured out this gives me the option of burning several copies, I did and it only took another 15 minutes to create another image instead of starting the whole process over again.
    10:40 I drop it into disk utility and burn a 3.7 GB DVD in 20 minutes.
    Oliver Luker accurately observes and records CPU usage at each of the steps so that helped me know NOT to cancel even when Activity monitor showed iDVD as not responding.
    I went with best performance because too many people were reporting over 60 minutes and best quality as not working well, and I need this DVD done. I had an extras section in the DVD that I yanked. But I don't understand why we are limited to less than 60 minutes. This angers me a bit and I'm determined to find a way to have a good looking DVD with over 60 minutes of footage that will burn through iDVD. I don't want to buy DVDSP, yet.
    Good luck everyone.

  • Imac freezes during start-up. Seems to be caused by Airport issue.

    My Imac freezes during startup. I have tried starting it in safe mode without any luck. After the initial start sequence when it gets to this point: Airport linkup en1, the computer starts writing the same line endlessly: com.apple.launch [1] (com.apple.mDNSRsponder [2710]): posix_spawnp (“/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder”,...): No such file or directory
    I am not a technician and new to Macs too. I have tried almost everything in the supportfile about freeze issues. I am not able to start the Mac in safe mode. I have repaired the disk. I have tried reinstalling the software, but this fails too.
    Did a couple of changes on the timecapsule before it happened (creating a network and new security settings and backup settings) and installed Photoshop Elements 9 and did a lot of file restructuring. Left the computer open and came back to a blue screen. Since then I have been unable to start.
    My macbook works fine with the changes. I am stuck - what to try now?
    I need my files and they are luckily on the timecapsule, but i am not able to open the imac-bundle file on the macbook, why?
    Thanks for helping.

    did a lot of file restructuring.
    In Finder>Go>enter /usr/sbin do you see mDNSResponder listed there?

  • My 4th gen ipod won't backup after it froze during a software update to 4.3.5. I had to cancel the backup at the start of the update and now it won't let me backup to my computer, freezes during backup or says my backup is corrupted.

    I pressed 'X' during a backup after it froze during an update to software 4.3.5 and now it won't let me backup on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas? It either freezes during backup or says my 'backup is corrupted' or 'I cannot backup on my computer'. I have had to abort quite a few attempted backups since the initial problem, which I think has made it worse. I have already tried restoring my ipod, deleting the aborted backup from my preferences/devices in itunes and deleting it from my user/appdata/etc on my PC hard drive. Any ideas what to try next?

    After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?  

  • Time Machine Freezes During Initial Backup

    I have a 500gb external Western Digital HDD I am trying to use as my Time Machine backup drive. The computer I'm using is a 24" iMac with about 250gb of data on it. The external drive is partitioned as a GUID / Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    When I try to run the initial backup, it will randomly freeze during the process. Sometimes it gets halfway through the backup and freezes, other times, right away. Sometimes there is an error, other times there isn't.
    I have tried re-partitioning the drive many times, manually starting the backup and also letting the backup start on its own. All of my applications are closed when the backup begins, but no matter what I do, I cannot get the initial backup process to complete.
    Ironically, I had the same problem on ANOTHER iMac of mine, with the same model Western Digital drive. The backup would freeze randomly during the initial process but I would keep manually re-starting the backup until it magically finished the backup. Now that computer seems to be working fine.
    However, I still can't get this other iMac to work. I find it strange that two separate computers with two separate 500gb Western Digital drives would have the same problem with Time Machine, unless the problem is with Time Machine itself.
    Any ideas out there how to resolve this?

    Why do you assume it's TM, not WD?
    There are many possibilities.
    Did you completely erase the drive before formatting it? Sometimes the utilities, etc., that come on new drives can interfere with TM.
    Is your iMac an Intel? If it's an older PPC, you need the Apple Partition Map, not GUID.
    Is this USB or FireWire? USB is often much slower and less reliable.
    If it's USB, does it have it's own power, or does it draw from your Mac? Often there's just barely enough to run a drive; if you have another USB peripheral, it can take enough power to interfere with the disk.
    Does it have an automatic "spin down" feature? If so, can you disable it?
    Does it have the latest updates? I thing I saw a post here recently that a WD update fixed, but I can't find it now.
    Are you running any anti-virus scanning? If so, exclude your TM drive from it.
    Sometimes excluding it from Spotlight as well, at least during a large initial backup, can prevent conflicts between TM and Spotlight.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Reinstalling freezes during "Preparing for Installation..."

    Hi,
    I'm using an Apple MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard).
    I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.
    As written in my other post (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650516?tstart=0), I am unable to find a solution to reinstall my Adobe printer driver.
    That's why I thought I might be able to just reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro completely.
    However, when trying this, the installation freezes during the "Preparing for Installation..." screen.
    I also tried installing in Safe Mode but without success.
    I found some posts regarding this but mostly the solution is to uninstall CS4 completely and to reinstall it again from scratch. But of course I would like to fix the problem without the need to reinstall everything.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Wolfgang

    Hi Larry,
    thanks for your message!
    I found that out later as well, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2857742#2857742 .
    However, the problem I tried to describe in this post, is that I cannot reinstall Acrobat as it just freezes during the Installation.
    Do you know any work-around for that?
    Thanks,
    Wolfgang

  • Ipod freezing during connection to mac

    I have a 3rd gen ipod and powerbook G4 with an external harddrive Lacie 80gb which now contains my itunes library. The problem I am having is in updating my ipod library. Each time I connect to the lacie drive (with firewire connection, it recognizes the ipod and starts to update it but it invariably freezes during this update. The ipod remains frozen as does the itunes program. I have to force quit the itunes and eject the ipod and then soft reset. When I then reattach it, it is not recognized by the itunes and I have to reinstall the update to get it to work. Unfortunately this erases all the music and I restart the process only to have it all happen again. I have tried manual update to no avail.
    This may be related to the fact that I have moved my library to the external drive or that I am using the external firewire.
    Frustrated. Can anyone help?

    Hi John,
    I have a very similar problem, but no solution yet. Maybe my experiences can sombody give some hint:
    At home I have the G4 model displayed below. It is alway kept up to date. Last time my iPod was updated with the songs in the iTunes library there was around 6th December 05. Everything went fine then.
    Next time I tried to update the iPod songlist, was about two weeks ago. The iPod would freeze this time, hanging and later crashing iTunes and the Finder (iPod could not be ejected). After several tries I thought it would be a good idea to restore the factory settings. So I tried that using the newest iPod Updater 2005-11-17. The Updater was not able to restore the settings. Finally I gave up.
    Then I took the iPod to the office where I use a Mac Mini (it is kept up to date as well). I tried to restore the factory settings there and it worked like a charm. Back at home the iPod still would not sync with my PM G4. Listening to the sounds the iPod made during the first seconds of syncing revealed a repeated clicking as if the hard drive was bad.
    So I took it to Apple's tech-geeks and told them the hard drive must have gone bad. They tested the iPod thoroughly, but did not find anything wrong. Especially the hard drive was ok.
    Now I have it back here, but it still would not sync to my PM G4. Does anybody have any idea? I should perhaps mention, that the system on the PM has only been updated from 10.2 an, whereas the system on the Mini has been installed 10.4 out of the box.

  • IMac freezes during TC backup

    Since a few days my iMac (newest version running Mountain Lion) freezes during TC backups. Since TC is set to backup every hour my computer freezes every hour - the MAC wheel pops up and keeps spinning.
    Once I abort the TC backup it takes about half a minute for iMac to become responsive again.
    Is there a solution for this problem - of course besides turning off TC and TM.
    Thanks

    The episode below started at 06.20.32 (it began when TC started backingup). I tried closing an application and launching Console - without success.
    At 06.23.11 I tried stopping the backup and shutting down TC (I think it shows first at 06.23.15).
    At 06.23.41 my iMac was responsive again.
    The info below only covers 06.23.04 till 06.23.45 (it seems way too much data and I don't know what's useful and what isn't).
    Thanks

  • MDD DP G4 elusive diagnosis - freezes during boot up.  Tired- HELP!

    After not using my Dual Bootable  DP 1.25 GHz MDD G4 for a couple of months, it's now freezing during the boot process.
    What's weird is that it boots in Target Mode just fine, and when connected in this mode to my G5 Quad, it actually boots the G5 Quad in Target Mode just fine!    The G4 drive shows in fact as the boot drive on the G5 Quad's monitors.
    I was able to boot off a retail Tiger 10.4.6 disk, so I did an erase and install of a fresh Tiger OS 10.4.6, which I promptly updated to 10.4.11.  After trying and failing umpteen times to boot off the HD, even in safe mode, I ended up being utterly unable to get either of the Super Drives to open normally, so I had to resort to the straightened paper clip trick to retrieve the install DVD.
    Now even the paper clip fails to open either of the optical drives.
    I have twice wiped the HD from the G5 Quad after booting up in Target Mode, and installed fresh copies of Tiger 10.4.11 as described, with the Tiger install DVD in the SuperDrive of the G5 Quad.
    Since in Target Mode the G5 Quad boots just fine of the G4 HD, I think I can rule out the Hard Drive.
    I think I can rule out the battery too, as it boots fine in Target Mode and in the regular boot process it sometimes gets as far as playing the OS fresh install music after going through the registration process.
    I do have the original install disks with AHT 2.0.2 that came with the G4, but I can't get the optical drives open to insert the disk in either one of them.
    I'm thinking it could be bad RAM, but why would the optical drives be stuck, both of them??!
    I'd be most grateful for any tips as to what to try next.

    Jump all hard drives Cable Select and place the intended Master on the end connector of each IDE ribbon (each bus).
    Can you clarify, please?  Are you referencing the actual CPU?
    Yes. A very fine layer of corrosion on one or more of the 300 pins could render the machine incapable of achieving logic.
    The step should be performed after doing all the other reseats that I suggested.
    I've never re-seated one,
    Not so difficult.
    Replacement of the thermal compound is a requisite part of the proceedure, however.
    Use Arctic Cooling MX-4.
    No worries if a bit too much is applied, unlike silver based compounds....... bzzzZZTT! Dead CPU.
    My tutorial:
    9AE7FE0E-0CF2-4A7C-8003-489B282582BC.html
    I posted this for someone who wanted to remove a MDD logic board (edited for clarity, I hope):
    To remove the logic board (of a MDD):
    -Disconnect all cables connected to the logic board.
    -Remove any PCI cards, and RAM.
    -Find and remove the five screws that hold the heatsink. Remove the heatsink.
    -Remove the processor board by lifting the edges of the daughter card. After successfully pulling the card free from the connector, it might help to slide the processor board a bit to the rear and/while lifting out, being careful to clear the two mounting pegs.
    -Find and remove the one screw that holds the logic board.
    -Slide the logic board away from the back panel, lifting to avoid the chassis hooks.
    You need to pay attention to the three steps in bold. There is no screw retaining the CPU daughter card. It is sandwiched between the heatsink and the logic board socket.

  • Freeze during startup after SW update from 10.4 - 10.4.8

    After updating to 10.4.8, my machine would freeze during startup (at the gray screen with the apple and spinner) and give me the "Please restart your computer" message in a few languages.
    I thought it might be a RAM issue, so I removed all third party RAM - same problem.
    I replaced all of the RAM with RAM from another G5 that I know worked - same problem
    I moved the HD from my G5 to another G5 that was working - same problem (I believe that eliminates the motherboard and any other components from being the problem).
    I thought that the HD might be bad, so I replaced it with a brand new SATA drive, installed 10.4 and it worked perfectly, ran all of the SW updates (including the combined 10.4.8 update) and I get the same freezing again when I reboot.
    Any suggestions are appriciated!

    Hi Joe,
    Welcome to the only place where you can get friendly advice.
    Ok have you tried starting up from the installer / restore CD that came with the mac and run disk utility??
    Try hardware test doing the extended test in a loop to try and find the base of the Kernel panic (thats what the "you need to restart your computer" image indicates)
    For info and guidance on Kernel panics see:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227
    and trouble shooting info:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25392
    for extensive advice on solving the kernel panics see:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    Worst case senario it could be the G5 processors, make sure you have applecare; just in case it gets expensive!!

  • IMac is freezing during start-up from OS X installation disk

    My iMac 27" is freezing during re-installation of the complete machine from Leopard OS X installation disk. The machine ends up (also in safe mode) with a screen showing something like "horse steps in the snow" as shown in both pictures, which can be seen on:
    http://whbakker.demon.nl/screen and http://whbakker.demon.nl/detail
    I cannot find a thread or a good suggestion, what to do to re-initialize the complete machine.
    Thank you in advance for your answers!

    Can we assume you mean your Snow Leopard installation disc & that it is a grey one that came with this iMac?
    27" iMacs are new enough that they can't run Leopard (OS 10.5), nor can they run some of the earlier versions of Snow Leopard. The installer on the disc should check for this & refuse to attempt an install if it is the wrong one, but if you are trying to boot from the disc to start the install it will never get that far. This is because the earlier OS versions lack the necessary extensions to support the latest hardware in the iMac. Thus, a safe boot won't help since there is still no source for them.
    Also, if you have installed any aftermarket memory modules, it is possible they are not fully up to spec & incapable of running Snow Leopard. You may be able to verify this by starting up from the Apple Hardware Test, which you run from the original grey system disc by following the instructions printed on it. If you get an error with "MEM" in it, it means one or more memory modules is defective. If they are aftermarket ones, contact the supplier for replacements. If they are Apple-supplied modules they are covered by a one year Apple warranty (or 3 year one if you bought the Applecare protection plan).

  • TC freezes during initial backup

    I have tried searching this forum for an answer to my problem with no luck. My 1 tb TC freezes during the same spot every time I try an initial backup. When the initial backup hits 690 out of 760 gb the transfer rate crawls to zero.
    I have tried both ethernet and wireless connections, downgrading my firmware from 7.3.2 to 7.3.1 to 7.3 as well as resetting the time capsule and starting over. Other than this problem the TC works flawlessly. No problems with the internet, or accessing the drive and mounting the sparse bundle. Once the initial backup freezes at 690 gb I can manually stop the backup.
    Does anyone have any suggesitons? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. I have been battling with this thing for quite some time now. I am using OS X 10.5.6 on a PowerMac G5. Thanks a lot

    I have had a similar problem. I just bought my Time Capsule and everything was great until I tried to do the initial back up. It shuts down completely every time. Several tries later, and nothing.
