Freezing when rearranging tracks

Hey all, I'm on Mavericks with the latest version of Garageband, and I'm having an issue with only ONE Garageband file. I'm able to listen to the track perfectly on Garageband without issue, but when I go to rearrange ANYTHING on the file, it freezes up with the beach ball of doom, spinning forever, taunting me with it's bright, plastic-like colors. I've tried renaming the file, re-saving it, copying it, using the 'oddball' preferences fix, reparing disk permissions, restarting my computer, waiting a day to see if anything changes, to no avail. If you have any idea what's going on or some solutions, I'd love to hear it. Let me know if you need more details.

version 10 (the latest)? or version 6 ('11) as it states in your details?

assuming GBv6: it sounds like the project is somehow corrupted, perhaps you can rescue the recordings:

When i arm a track in audition cs5.5 it freezes.when the track is not armed it works without freezing, What am i doing wrong ?

i tried cleaning my disk and reinstalling audition to a different hard drive

This is probably because some of the effects that you have inserted into the Effects Rack take rather a lot of processing for Audition to do in real time whilst recording into those tracks. if you really need the Effects Rack on whilst recording then you could try Pre-rendering the tracks by clicking on the 'lightning' icon at the top right of the Effects Rack.

My Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.

AMy Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.> Hi. Was hoping someone could help me. I brought a creative zen x-fi and half of the times i tried to delete a track or album it would freeze, i'd reset it and the track or album was not deleted. I sent it back and brought a new one however my new one does the same except more, about 8 out of 0 times when i try to delete a track or album it freezes. It doesn't seem to have any problems deleting anything else e.g photos, videos. I looked on the support section of the site and it mentioned that the player could keep freezing if there were corrupted files. Pleae could someone tell me what exactly this mean? (i'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to things like this ) All the music on my player is from ripped cds or what was already on the laptop or player to begin with, so could there be any corrupted files from those?

Nvm,the cleanup works Thanks man

ITunes 10.3.1 freezing when adding new tracks (library located on external HD)

Installed the new iTunes 10.3 beta earlier and tried to add new songs into my library. However, it takes approx 30 mins to add 4 songs and sometimes it simply won't even add and just freezes. I tried updating to 10.3.1 and the problem persists. I haven't seen anyone post this problem, the closest I have found are others' iTunes freezing when syncing with iOS devices. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but my library is located on an external HD and the option to "Copy to iTunes library" is ticked. However, I doubt that's the main problem since if I actually wait it out and add only 1,2 songs at a time it still works, although it just takes a random amount of time to add (5+ minutes per song).
I'm hoping someone has a solution or can identify this as a bug? I've been considering downgrading to iTunes 10.2.2 so I can actually add songs to my library (but can't seem to find a link anywhere to 10.2.2). If someone could provide a link to 10.2.2, it would be incredibly helpful as well. Thanks in advance,

Hi,
finally worked! I found this post and it has finally worked I understand it is the same as WHATHECK's answer so thanks WHATHECK!
You have to be certain that you have backed up your Library's and Playlists and that you are doing the one in the root (if like me you use a HD any old library/playlists instead of deleting them put them some were safe just incase and make sure you are re-creating the library from your root folder i.e user/music/itunes
Anyone trying thishttps://discussions.apple.com/message/15093132#15093132
Good luck!
Seriously thinking of not updating itunes next time...

Logic pro 9.1.2 freezes when opening and says quantize

I created a track, and every version of it freezes when i open it, it loads and then it brings up a window that says quantize and then it freezes at that point. with every version I have saved except version 1. This arrangement is extremely important. please help. it originally crashed and i didn't save the report, now i can't get it to crash again, now it just freezes. I can create a video of all of this happening if that would help?

I've experienced this bug and have determined how to replicate it; it's caused when you perform an Audio-to-MIDI Groove Template function in the Sample Editor Factory on a Flex-Timed (Quantized) Region. Performing Audio-to-Midi Groove Template on a non-Flextime/quantized file performs as expected.
Here's a simple way to replicate the bug:
1. Create blank session, create 1 audio and 1 software instrument track
2. Import a drum loop into the audio track
3. Activate Flex mode, select Slicing on the drum loop
4. Select the software instrument track
5. Double click drum loop
6. In Factory, select Audio-To-Midi Groove Template, click 'Use'
7. Quit Logic
8. Relaunch Logic
The session now seems to be permanently corrupted. After force quitting Logic, Logic will continue to try to load this session on relaunch so you have to use another session to launch Logic rather than just click Logic's icon.
I've tried deleting the quantized audio file and removing all undo and fade files from the session directory but the session still hangs upon opening, so the corruption seems embedded in the session file itself.
I've reported it to Apple.

Freezes when I hit record (audio)

When I have audio already on a track and hit record midway, it freezes. Strangely, I can start a new empty track and record audio from there, but if I try to cut in on a track midway with audio on it, it freezes. Using Logic 10.1.0, Mac OS 10.9.4 6 GB memory, plenty of room on disk, formatted Mac OS Extended. Using a Scarlett 18i8 interface, but it does the same thing when using Core Audio on the Mac. And no crash report will surface when I force quit. Have tried permissions repair to no avail. And tried removing all unused audio tracks from the Project Audio list, does not help.
Anyone?

Actually, there were not steps suggested (at least that I saw) for garageband freezing when I hit record. I read through all the links (and almost went blind) and and did a search on the site, maybe I missed it.
If you have an answer to this probelem I would love to try any suggestions.
Thanks

My ipod freezes when i jog

i freaquently go jogging with my ipod video and it freezes almost everytime i do. no matter what i do my ipod freezes when i jog with it. does anyone know how to keep it from freezing while jogging?
ipod video

Freezing like: stopping shortly and then continuing?
Or freezing like it stops and doesn't ever start again?
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the iPod, jogging and other erratic movement can cause tracks to skip occasionally.

Why does my Itunes keep freezing when I try to sync my Ipod?

Hello,
Everytime I try to rearrange my music or take music on or off my Ipod Nano my Itunes freezes up and I am unable to sync my new music to my Ipod. What is going on? I have uninstalled and reinstalled I have reverted my Ipod back to factory settings and yet it still freezes when I try to add or take music off the Ipod. What other suggestions should I do?
Thanks,

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

App freezes when JComboBox.addItem is called for the first time

I have a Swing app that intermittenly freezes when the users go
to a certain screen. I've tracked it down to a specific line. There is
a JComboBox on the screen. The application freezes when the
app tries to load the first item into the JComboBox using
myComboBx.addItem(Object o). I pass in an Integer.
The strange thing is that this only happens once a day, or
sometimes less, in a group of 4 users. But when it does
freeze, it always freezes on that line. After freezing, the user
can go back into the app, and go to the same screen(no
data has changed), and they can get in without it freezing.
So it seems to have nothing to do with the data - it's purely
intermittent.
The only thing I can think of is that the underlying native peer
for the JPanel that the JComboBox is on, has not been created
yet, and I'm trying to load an item into a combo box that doesn't
really exist yet. Anyone know if this is possible? It may only
happen when the user's machine is running very slow.
I've included the relevant code below. Any feedback would
be greatly appreciated.
Most of the action happens in the class ICS_COMP_PANEL.
First, in a different class, an object of type ICS_COMP_PANEL
is created, and then the method startCompensationScreen is
called on that object. From then on, methods of
ICS_COMP_PANEL are called. The app freezes on the
COMP_NAME.addItem(retObj) call in the method
addCompensationRecordsToScreen.
In another class:
screenComp = new ICS_COMP_PANEL(this);
screenComp.startCompensationScreen();
public class ICS_COMP_PANEL extends javax.swing.JPanel
implements java.awt.event.ActionListener
, java.awt.event.ItemListener
//this is the comboBox that's causing the problem
javax.swing.JComboBox COMP_NAME = new javax.swing.JComboBox();
public ICS_COMP_PANEL(ICS_FOLDER iFrame)
COMP_NAME.setEditable(true);
jpanel1.add(COMP_NAME);
COMP_NAME.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(204,204,204));
COMP_NAME.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.BOLD, 12));
COMP_NAME.setBounds(357,7,156,15);
public void startCompensationScreen()throws GException
//The line below always gets a non-empty hashtable back
//from getCompensationRecords().
Hashtable compList = getCompensationRecords();
COMP_NAME.removeItemListener(this);
addCompensationRecordsToScreen(compList);
COMP_NAME.setSelectedIndex(0);
loadCompensationRecord((Integer)COMP_NAME.getSelectedItem());
COMP_NAME.addItemListener(this);
//the only thing to notice in this function is that it loads a hashtable
//with Integers as the keys and as elements
private Hashtable getCompensationRecords()
Hashtable compList = new Hashtable();
try{
String SQLStatement = "select comp_tran_number from comp_tran_record where
comp_ic_tran_number = " + FOLDER.caseNumber;
gifts.database.ResultSetCopy rsc =
gifts.global.standardData.ICSServer.resultSetCopier(SQLStatement);
while ( rsc.next())
Integer compNum = rsc.getInt(1);
compList.put(compNum,compNum);
catch ( Exception ex){
GTool.errorMsg(this,ex);
return compList;
private void addCompensationRecordsToScreen(Hashtable compList)
System.out.println("add compensaion:");
Enumeration e = compList.elements();
COMP_NAME.removeAllItems();
while ( e.hasMoreElements())
Object retObj = e.nextElement();
if ( retObj instanceof Integer)
//The next line is where the app freezes
COMP_NAME.addItem(retObj);
//This should not get called because the itemListener is removed
//before the JComboBox is filled.
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
// This method is derived from interface java.awt.event.ItemListener
// to do: code goes here
System.out.println("change Item");
Object object = e.getSource();
if (object == COMP_NAME)
Object retObj = COMP_NAME.getSelectedItem();
if ( retObj instanceof Integer && COMP_NAME.getSelectedItem() !=
currentCompensationRecord)
reloadCompensationRecord((Integer)retObj);

I am facing a similar problem with JComboBox. It is responding to the first time when items are added to the combo box. Later on, listener does not seem to listen if items are added to the combo box. Can anyone think of a solutiuon for this problem. (it works fine in 1.3 but does not respond in 1.4)

Itunes freezes when burning CDs

Similar post to others here. Since upgrade to IT 6, Itunes freezes when trying to burn some CDs. IT shows as "not-responding" in task manager. Seems to happen when burning CDs with newly downloaded tracks, perhaps in combination with imported tracks. I've tried several suggestions posted here.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes and Quicktime
- Installed updated BIOS, chipset, and CD R drivers
No luck.
Sometimes if I wait 3-5 minutes it will start the burn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Log follows.

hi David!
The computer just freezes and according to Task Manager, iTunes takes 100% of the computer's resources.
Help! Any suggestions?
first let's try a
b repair install.
go to your add/remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and then select "repair".
if no joy with that, let's try working through some of the other usual suspects:

Computer freezes when watching TV show when Windows Audio started

Sorry in advance for the length of this post. I am currently running itunes 7.0.2.16. I can't load an earlier version because it tells me I need this version to access the itunes store. I orignally had a problem with my computer freezing (hard boot required) when downloading TV shows. Most of the time it would freeze when beginning the "Processing File" phase. I solved it by booting into safe mode to download the shows. I decided to troubleshoot the problem and uninstalled then reinstalled itunes and quicktime as instructed by Apple tech support. Things went from bad to worse. Now everytime I click on a TV show to watch it, my computer freezes. Using msconfig, I narrowed it down to the "Windows Audio" service. If I disable the service, itunes runs fine albeit without sound (silent episodes of Lost anyone?). I renamed the audiosrv.dll file and tried to copy a new version over from another computer. The system said it was still there and asked me if I wanted to replace it. I said no and restarted the computer. Windows XP magically recreated the file so then I had two copies of the file in the System32 directory, the renamed one and a new one. Deleted both, restarted, and the file magically reappeared. I then tried itunes and it immediately froze. After the required hard reboot, I replaced the existing file with the new file. Started itunes, clicked on a movie, and it froze. At this point I don't know if the problem lies with itunes or if I have a damaged file in XP. My virus/spyware scanner didn't find anything and neither did trend micro's house-call. I downloaded AVG AS and it also came up clean with the exception of a few tracking cookies. I would like to reslove the issue without rebuilding the whole machine. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advace.

You can try the following combination of settings:-
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
         3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page). Here is the link for determining and setting up the correct MTU size: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Logic go freeze when undo some recordings PLEASE HELP!

Its start happen after reinstall my system.
I have installed all plugins and programs as it was before formating.Logic updates,10.4.10,ProAppsSuport ....
I open Logic ,then load my Project,and starts to record
I recording just one track(vocal).After 45-60 min its start hapening-Logic freeze when i try to undo last recording.I make-Force quit for Logic and relaunch it.
After 20-30min ats heppen again.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

This has happened to me before as well.
The first thing I tried that seemed to help was to delete the undo history. I also have lowered the undo number to around 10 steps.
Other than that, it could be a simple maintenance issue.
If you don't already own Disk Warrior, I highly advice getting it. Let it rebuild the system drives directory.
Also, repair permissions fairly often, and get an app like Onyx or Cocktail to run the necessary maintenance routines a couple of times a month.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to get I-Defrag, and defrag your audio drive from time to time. Especially if you record a lot of audio.
But because you just did a full re-install, I would start with Disk Warrior, and see if that doesn't help get things back to normal.

IMovie HD freezes when switching between views.

I am in the process of completing my latest movie in iMovie HD and am having some major issues when I attempt to change views to add audio. The program runs fine when I am in the scene view, but when I click on the "filmstrip" icon at the bottom to view the audio tracks the "rainbow" circle appears and iMovie changes to the wonderful "iMovie is not responding" status.
Help please!!!

I am using iMovie HD, version 6.0.3, and have the same type of problem except mine freezes when I am in the middle of adding photos to the project. I spent 4 hours on the phone yesterday speaking with various techs with good intentions but no successful resolutions. Some of what we tried...running "utility, repair disc", we then tried deleting the cache files associated with iMovie HD plus a few other items. None of it has solved my problems. According to the last tech I spoke with, the next step may be creating another profile on the computer and try using the program with it. If this solves the problem, then the issue is with conflicts in the "original" profile being used. The only issue with this that seems to be a bit painful is that with the new profile, I won't have access to everything I saved under the old profile. I will have to copy all of the files externally and then import them back into the new profile. I am hoping to find the "real" solution before attmpting this. In the meantime, when I make changes/additions to my iMovie HD projects, I hit save after every change/addition. This makes things easier when I restart the program. Let me know if you have any luck or find a good fix. This one is getting on my nerves. This type of problem is why I dumped my PC for a Mac!! Out of curiosity, how long have you had this problem? Mine started after downloading the "Intel processor" update. Maybe it is just coincidental????

Itunes freezes when accessing gracenote

I have the same problem (specifically when trying to download music) it is realllly grinding my gears.
