FCP and Motion taking SUPER long to load, then works fine...

...and yes, I've trashed my preferences and deleted my thumbnail caches. Any other suggestions?

FC2 on a 2.33 MBP with 2GB RAM running Leopard 10.5.6
It's been happening with multiple projects of varying size and length (that is to say, anytime i run it). One for instance, a 2 minute green screen template project in motion, also happened with a motion project that only had 1 still and some text. Happens in FCP with a project with a 70 minute DV or a project of a daily 2 minute show with 1 months worth of capture and sequences and the interface fires up, but at the first keystroke or mouse click, i get beach ball for 5-10 minutes. The thing is I've been using the green screen project in motion and the daily FCP project for over a month now and this issue just started happening. havent done any significant installs or trashing that i know of.
thanks

We have purchased a movie on Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC

Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.

Websites like yahoo and google taking incredibly long to load.

Hi r_saha,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that when using Safari some specific websites are slow to load. There could be a couple of different steps I would suggest to help you get this resolved. I suggest trig a different DNS service first; the steps can be found in the following article.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3408
Resolution
Your DNS server(s) or your router may be affected by DNS prefetching in Safari 5.0.1 or later.
First, try a different DNS service
Try a different DNS service, such as one of the DNS services below. This will test to see if the root cause of your issue lies with your selected DNS servers.
OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/)
Google DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/)
Or, search the Internet for "Third-party DNS services" for more options and information
For information about how to change DNS settings in Mac OS X, see Editing DNS and search domain settings.
If the issue persists in Safari, return to your original DNS server settings if desired, then continue with the next section.
I hope this helps,

I have photos on my imovie and it freezes on one photo and skips over the next two photos then works fine, how do i fix it?

I need help with fixing my imovie

Do you want a slideshow or a desktop background?
For a slideshow you can use iPhoto's slideshows, but the maximum duration of a slide is 999 seconds or 16.65 minutes. You would have to add each photo twice to see it 30 minutes.
File > New Slideshow.
Pick the Classic Theme or Ken Burns Theme.
In the Settings > All Slides tab set the option "Play each slide for a maximum of 999 seconds" and enable "Repeat Slideshow".
If you have a clean Desktop set the System Preferences > Desktop and Screensaver to set the Desktop picture from a folder and set "Change Picture" to "Every 30 minutes".

Fcp and motion 3 with Yosemite

I Recently upgraded the operating system of my 2009 Mac Pro to Yosemite and consequently FCP and motion 3 no longer work. Can I do a clean install of Mavericks on a spare hard drive, install FCP and motion 3 on it and not have any conflicts with the other hard drives?

HHi Nick, thanks for the response. My question however was : can I have one hard drive operating Yosemite and another operating Mavericks with FCP and motion 3 without conflict in the same computer? Any ideas?

Airplay mirroring is taking very long to load and is only showing one static view then it crashes

I am tring to mirror ipad2. I just upgraded to IOS5. Is it an apple TV problem or an Ipad2 problem?
What should I try to fix the problem?

I think i found the solution. I got mine working.
Reboot the iPad by holding down the Home button and power button at the same time for 6 seconds. The screen will turn black, apple logo will appear, and it will restart.
Then restart the Apple TV. (I just unplugged the power)
Then restart your wireless router. (again, I just pulled the plug on it)
After doing that, i tried the mirroring again, and it worked great. As soon as I turned it on, it appeared on my TV and is working very quickly. (well, everything I do on the iPad is delayed on the TV by half a second)

FCP and Motion Inegration Issues

I just upgraded the whole beast and I now have FCP 5.1 and Motion 2.1 or something close to that, I am very technical Working with P2 files out of the HVX and seem to have some interesting things happen. I can import all my files fine from the Camara via The FS-100, edit them in viewer, drop them into the sequence, send them to motion to do some keying and save the files in motion. Everything seems great,keyed clips show up great in the main sequence, but also appear as if they are creating another sequence as the number of Tabs in incrementing for each clip in the main sequence. I save my work in both FCP and Motion, shut down my machine and when I come back to countinue working on the project I open the project to find red checkerboards in the viewer. When I play the sequence the clips show up OK with the exception of the fact that I can only play the sequence with a black background and it would be hard to do any other compositing because I dont see the actual clips in the viewer to line up any longer. I also noticed that the number of files in my Bin for this project has grown and there a bunch of motion files that look like sequences rather than clips....
I guess thats enough for now.... Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

I figured most of it out myself.

My macbook pro is taking too long to load

I recently droped my macbook and had to have the hard drive replace. I just got it back, but its taking much longer to load. There is now a light blue screen first, then it swithches to another blue screen with an apple symbol with that thinking circle thing, followed by a darker blue screen with an arrow in top right corner. Then it finally loades. What is Wrong with my macbook?

Check the Startup Disk in System Preferences and make sure your HDD is selected.
Does this happen everytime you re-boot?

WRT54GS2 - Page taking too long to load?

Recently our Internet Service Provider turned our internet back on. About a day or two after using the internet, I've been noticing problems with slow internet connection. At times it will load fast, and other times it'll take a little bit too long to load.
For example, I had a couple tabs open this morning and tried to get on a website in a different tab. The page was taking so long to load that it gave up and I got the message "Unable to connect to the Internet".
But I have internet.
On my taskbar, there's an icon in the bottom right corner showing that I have internet connection.
Other times I'll try to load a page and it's just blank, and in the corner of the page's tab, there's just an icon of a white sheet of paper followed by the web title.
How come some pages are taking too long to load and others are loading just fine?
Additional detail if it helps:
I unplugged the power cord from my router and plugged it back in to try and fix it and that didn't work.
My second and third attempt, I refreshed my router. Still nothing.
Also, I have a secure network, password protected.
There have been no severe storms recently that could have messed with the router.
What can I do to fix this issue of a slow loading page?

Hi ashtonlevry, it looks like your router has a messed up settings right now. That could be because you had it on stand by for a while since you said that your ISP has just turned your connection back on.
It's actually best for you to just reset the device back to the default settings and reinstall it afterwards.
To do the proper reset :
1. Press and hold the reset button at the back of the router for 30 seconds while the device is on.
2. Release the button and unplug or power off the device.
Once done, reinstall the settings.

Two Radeons 3870 with FCP and Motion?

Hi!
Have you tried to use two 3870 with FCP and Motion?
I just wanted to have all 512MB of video RAM for my canvas and use the second card with my Matrox MXO to display broadcast preview.
I know it could be risky, but as I remember earlier the problems shows only while rendering some of the plugins in FCP (my test was on 2006).
Do you have any experience with pair of 3870 cards?
I've just ordered two of them:)
regards
arti

From what I've read on this forum, FCP doesn't work properly with two video cards.

How do I set-up my memory amount for max speed for FCP and Motion

Hey all, I have a Dual 2.3 G5 with (8 Gigs) Ram. I'm working with a new client. I want to set up my memory or whatever else to provide MAXIMUM processing power for FCP and MOTION. Does anyone have any recommended settings. I've maxed-our RAM. My card is (ATI Radeon 9600-128MB of VRAM)
Is there a setting in FCP that allows more processing power to be applied to that application ?
Appreciate any replies

Most of FCP's speed in performing functions is directly related to processor speed. The only way to increase performance would be to use a Mac with faster processors. Performance is also related to data throughput, so if you're working with high data rate video formats, a fast RAID and/or SATA (or eSATA) media storage solution would help.
The exception to FCP performance is when rendering/processing FX Plugs; they are dependent on the power of the graphics card.
Motion is mostly dependent on the power of the graphics card.
There is no way that I'm aware of that you can speed up RAM. Having the extra RAM will just mean that you can successfully work with more applications open at the same time.

I have just bought iphone 5 and i have a problem in charging it , firstly it took a long time to charge when i opened it to the first time , and its nearly dont charge on 110 output, and its taking a long time to charge on 220 reaches 50% in 1 hour

I have just bought iphone 5 and i have a problem in charging it , firstly it took a long time to charge when i opened it to the first time , and its nearly dont charge on 110 output, and its taking a long time to charge on 220 reaches 50% in 1 hour is this normal?

The charger block is universal and is able to handle multiple votages. One hour to reach 50% seems fine to me if the phone was completely flat to start with. Just leave it on charge for as long as it takes to reach 100%. I leave mine connected overnight all the time and it does not harm the battery

Why is my mac taking so long to load videos

why is my mac taking so long to load videos

This may have something to do with your Internet connection, the size of the video you are watching or the amount of items running in your Mac at the same time.
