FCPX opens but not responding when I try to duplicate/export project

Hey guys,
I've been working on a project which has bloated to over 23GB for just over 2 minutes of video. It's filled with keyframe animations, backgrounds and dense layers of clips (which is running my 2009 13" MBP into the ground).
The program continues to freeze whenever I try to alter it, I really need to move it onto an external device but when I select "duplicate project" and "copy project and referenced events" it freezes after clicking ok.
I'm pretty sure there's a toxic clip or animation within the project that is causing the problem, as when I open the Console under the Utilities section the error report reads:
"Final Cut Pro: CoreAnimation: warning, deleted thread with uncommitted CA"
and then
"Final Cut Pro: CGBitmapContextCreate: unsupported parameter combination:"
before continuing with "invalid context" errors.
There is no backups folder in the project folder in finder, only render files and shared items so I can't restore a version before the toxic animation.
Ideally, before moving projects and events around as most people suggest I would like to have a backup as I have spent many long hours working on the edit.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing FCPX to freeze and know what I should move where? I don't understand when people say "restore clips" after you have moved project/event folders around. Plus, do you move project and event folders from within the finder or from within the program? Currently FCPX freezes before I can duplicate or move the project.
Thanks!

Mostly 1080p 24 fps .mov files, plus some images and then animated titles.
I've managed to find an early version from before the "toxic" animation so I'm working from that but it's incredbily slow.
Playback and rendering is seriously slow, but looking at the Activity Monitor that seems to be because my CPU is at 200% whilst RAM has around 1gb free. I'm on a 2.53 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, would an i5 or i7 make a huge difference? 
I can only go as fast as Firewire 800, would you reccommend editing from there? I was thinking of getting a G Drive 2tb... My MBP doesn't have USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt capability unfortunately.

    Hi.
    Does this only open on that specific site?
    In any case, you may want to:
    - instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
    - reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
    - install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

  • Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?

    Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?

    Ah then that is the issue.
    1. Is Pages registered? It turns into a demo version after 3months otherwise.
    2. This makes it interesting as to what happens if it has, because a demo version can't/won't save and I'm curious if this causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
    3. There may actually be a problem with one of the documents which again causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
    4. You are entitled to AppleCare telephone support to try ands resolve this in detail which is difficult to do without seeing what is actually going on because there are multiple files involoved
    5. Which raises the issue of does it freeze consistently on hitting a certain document? In which case moving or archiving that document may get Pages to actually launch

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Get message firefox already running but not responding when trying to launch..tells me to close firefox wondow and try again (no ffox window is open)

    When trying to launch Firefox I get the following message.
    "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    This is not the first time and I am tired of having to restart my computer. BTW I have Firefox as my default browser, but had to use IE to get to this support site!
    In answer to the next question...every time I TRY to open Firefox.

    Simple fix for you I think--it works for me.
    1. Open your TASK MANAGER (rt click on your taskbar)
    2. Go to PROCESSES
    3. Scroll down until you see "firefox.exe"(or anything with the word Firefox in it)
    4. Click(highlight) the "firefox.exe"
    5. At the bottom right side,click "End Process"
    6. Close the Task Manager and do whatever you were attempting to do.

  • After 2 or days use, if the browser is open, I keep getting "Not Responding" when I try to do any thing...I am up-to-date...version3.6.17

    Actually I had this problem before when I would leave my self on Facebook, but it went away with version 3.6.16, but since the update to 3.6.17, it's back and really annoying, gotta click the mouse 3 to 5 times just to get an action. the message" Firefox( not responding) appears at the top in the "Header". ...Yes , I'm keeping up-to-date with flash and Java. Help, Please...I LOVE this browser.

    To rule out Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or both of the following:
    (1) Disable the Protected Mode feature of the Flash Player plugin.
    The following pages provide different ways to do that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.
    (2) Set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate").
    This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it, which will help distinguish Flash-generated issues from page load and layout issues.
    To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

  • Spinning circle * Thunderbird is not responding when I try to write or access emails. I had attempted to delete a bunch of old txt messages in seldom used Gmail

    I saw I had almost 30,000 txt messages on a Gmail account that I had created a gmail account for on Thunderbird. I didn't realize that they were going here from Gmail. I highlighted all of them and attempted to delete them. The spinning circle finally went away and all of them were gone. But when I tried to do anything else on Thunderbird with my regular email accounts (Comcast & Hotmail), I would get a spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. I had to use Ctrl Alt Del and then reopen. I tried compacting but this morning when I tried to write an email from one of my Comcast emails in Thunderbird, again I got the spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. In order to do anything, I have to close the program by hitting Crrl Alt Del and try again.
    My Trash Local folders says 8300.
    This morning, when I tried accessing Thunderbird at the bottom of the taskbar it said, "downloading....of 17,000 to All Mail. Had no clue what that meant. I let it continue until all were and thought my issue would be resolved. But no. :(
    Something obviously got corrupted in the program. What do I need to do to fix this?
    Thank you.
