Glitches in program

I'm editing my library by Event and lately when I click on Edit - the program runs slow, pictures are no longer appearing in the big window altho the image stays across the top as a thumbnail. It takes a long time for each tool to open and close (red eye, etc). now the Adjust screen it totally wacky - no words, just the sliding bars.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did this come on suddenly or gradually? If the free space on your boot drive is low that can cause slowness for all applications and the system. It's recommended that you have a minimum of 10 G of free space, 20 if you're using iDVD and burning projects to disk.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Sluggish timeline and glitching/freezing program monitor in Premiere Pro CC 8.1

    Hi all,
    I've recently switched from CS6 to the 2014 Adobe CC due to a student license expiring. I'm also somewhat new to r3d workflow so chances are I may be doing something wrong.
    I've worked on one other project with a mix of r3d and DSLR footage in CS6, but this is my first time cutting with red footage in Premiere CC.
    *Apologies in advance for the novel, but I figured I'd be as thorough as possible to hopefully help get this issue resolved for myself any anyone else who's experiencing this.*
    I'm cutting a 9:30 "party mix" in a music video style edit. So far I've had several (seemingly random) issues and glitches, that have been making my life exceptionally difficult and this 10/30 deadline exceptionally scary.
    I'm working with content that we captured using exclusively RED Epic Dragon, and Epic Mysterium cameras. We recorded with several different frame rates, with varying resolution, compression, and aspect ratios. Project was set in-camera to 23.976.
    Issue #1
    I've created a nearly two hour, organized roll of sub-clip selects in a RED R3D 2K 23.976 16x9 timeline, in which i'll use to browse my raw media when sequencing on a timeline stacked directly below.
    Often times when pulling clips from one timeline down to the other, the over-all responsiveness of the program will become ultra sluggish. Causing a clip (that's being dragged/placed) to lag heavily, maybe a couple seconds behind my cursor. This issue will often resolve itself after maybe 5 minutes or so, but makes fluid sequencing rather difficult.
    Issue #2
    The other issue I'm having is a glitchy or completely unresponsive program monitor. Again this issue appears to be totally random, and seems to happen most when I'm deep into some really intense sequencing/ clip arrangement, and scrubbing quickly.
    Usually a portion of a single clip (or sometimes a couple clips) will freeze up in the program monitor while I'm scrubbing over them on the timeline. This will sometimes cause them to freeze all together during playback as well as cause surrounding clips to lag a bit (maybe 4-8fps).
    I'll scrub back over the problem area and sometimes get a solid green bar halfway through my image, usually right before the program monitor just reads solid black throughout the entire timeline. This issue is temporarily resolved by restarting the program (about every 15-30 minutes).
    Issue #3
    As I'm scrubbing I'll also experience heavy glitching with both my image and the program monitor GUI itself. However, this issue typically wont affect playback.
    I've uploaded a quick camera-phone video of this issue as it's a little tough to describe Program monitor glitch - YouTube
    I know the timeline is un-rendered in this sample, (but this issue happens either way).
    Two painstaking weeks later, I've finally completed the first pass.
    Working on revisions now, and ultimately I'd like to copy paste the sequence into a 4K timeline for before After Effects work and export.
    I tried pulling it into a 4K timeline (with playback set to 1/8 res) and the issues stated above got 10x worse.
    Sticking to the 2K timeline for now (with playback at 1/4 res)
    P.S. I'm also cutting a much simpler corporate project with 5DMKIII footage and having no real issues.
    As for my rig,
    I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
    Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
    Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
    Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
    16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
    Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
    Thanks for reading!
    -Sam

    So it seems to be behaving slightly better in "Software Only"
    Though slightly less frequently, I'm still running into the issues stated above, mostly issue #2.
    I also have a new problem to add to this thread as I'm starting to pull clips into After Effects.
    First being that (again, seemingly random) dynamic-linked clips decide not to show up on the timeline in AE, and then seem to vanish from the program monitor in Premiere as well.
    As you can see in the screenshots attached- After Effects see's the media itself from which the clip came from, however it won't show up in the monitor.
    I'm also having issues where I'll render the Premiere project with the dynamic linked clips that DO work, and then as soon as I restart the program, those previews are gone and I have to re-render the the AE Linked comps.

  • Firefox 4 upgrade: program automatically sending previously saved personal data to websites ingnoring what's just been entered - glitch in program?

    Something weird is happening in V4 so I've already rolled back to 3.6. On entering details (names, address, passwords) on website forms, V4 is sending personal data entered previously (cached?). It ignores what's just been entered on the form - it sends the old data! Has anyone else experienced this?

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

  • When i click on links in other programs, where the link should automaticly open in firefox, nothing happens. Firefox is my primary.

    Example:
    software for games, where developers post headlines for news. Those are actualy hyperlinks, and should automaticly open in firefox, when customer clicks on the headline. When i click on a headline, nothing happens. They just stopped working a while ago, which is pretty frustrating. Firefox is my primary web browser.
    Please help, becouse I've searched and never found a solution for this issue.
    Looking forward to your answer, thank you for reading this!

    This is a known bug, and has been for years. It occurs when Firefox is your default browser and some glitch (or program) changes that default. Thankfully, there's a fairly easy fix, though it does involve monkeying around in the Registry.
    (Note: These instructions apply to Windows Vista and 7 only.)
    1. Click Start, type regedit, and then press Enter.
    2. Navigate to the following entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec
    3. In the center pane, double-click the Default entry, then remove whatever value is there (it'll probably be a weird string of numbers and commas).
    4. Click OK, then exit Regedit.
    5. If Outlook and/or Firefox are open, close them, then restart them.

  • Acrobat X Unable to Uninstall

    I have been having an entirely consistent issue with Adobe Acrobat X. Every time it opens, not only can I not quit the application, but I also can't close any windows that are open in the application, nor can I force quit. Last night it opened up a file on my external harddrive, but I accidentally selected Acrobat X to open a document instead of Photoshop. The only way to resolve the issue was to manually hold down the power button on my computer, with my harddrive still attached and running. I hate doing that, and just want to get rid of this glitch filled program. I tried to use the uninstaller, but the alias for said uninstaller says it leads to nowhere. I even tried the uninstaller for Acrobat 9, but that didn't work out. Please help!

    In a separate thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4570996#4570996) an Adobe employee suggested following these instructions from this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-x-closes-launch-creative.html
    Step 1: Install the latest version of Adobe Application Manager from the following links:
    Windows
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
    Mac OS
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
    Step 2: Relicense other CS6 software.
    Make sure that you are connected to the Internet.
    Launch a regular CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, or Dreamweaver).
    Choose Help > Deactivate.
    Deactivate the application, and then quit the application.
    Launch the product you deactivated in step 4.
    Click License This Software on the user interface.
    Sign in with the Adobe ID associated with your subscription.
    Launch Acrobat X to confirm it opens successfully.
    It worked for me. Hope that helps

  • I get a general failure when I click on links in my email. This happens more frequently now that I've downloaded the latest version of Firefox. Very annoying. Help!!!

  • Send to Email does not work in Yosemite iOS.

    In Safari trying to send page to mail recipient, when I click on share, send to mail, the Terminal program opens instead of the Mail. Also the Terminal Icon is displayed next to the Mail.  Looks like there is a glitch with program associations.  How can this be fixed?  Does Apple monitors this blog?

  • 5.0 ---Suddenly says I have more music

    So I downloaded 5.0 and it said my library of music has increased in size from 7.5 days to 40.4 days. It is lying to me. I have the exact same number of songs and gigs, just more days. Anyone having this problem/know how to fix it?

    I have a similar problem but don't know how to fix it.
    After upgrading to iTunes 5.0, iTunes added songs onto my iPod that I had ALREADY put onto my iPod. So now my iPod has more used memory than my library, even though my whole library was already on my iPod.
    So iTunes 5.0 re-loaded about 0.6 gigabytes of songs that were already on my iPod.
    But given how horrible some problems with iTunes 5.0 have been I guess I'm pretty lucky. I can still play all my songs and have no audio glitches or program glitches other than the above.

  • I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes and the other Apple programs wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system

    I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes (and the other Apple programs) wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system? Does someone know of some proprietory block (I think it is related to Quicktime)? Also, once I re-downloaded everything, cleaned everything up, and deleted duplicate files, I closed down my computer. When I re-started it, iTunes was "brand new" -- all of my music, organization, tagging, etc. was gone and had to start over. Idea?

    Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!
