Got a new ext drive,now iMovie locks up when I turn Cam on to import film.

iMovie has been great up until I got a new Blackstar 250gb
sata 800/400 external hard drive.
as soon as I turn my Conon GL2 camera on, iMovie locks up and the computer is acting up.
I'm using the fire wire 800 for the Blackstar hard drive
and the camera imports with the 400
If I get it to try to import It will import for 2 seconds and then a 5 second lock up and another 2 sec with a 5 sec lock, so on and so forth.
I have a 200gb VST hard drive for my music that has been fine.
I have used the internal drive for iMovie with the VST plugged in and I wanted another external for my Movies but the system does not like the Blackstar.
As soon as I unplug the Blackstar hard drive, it will import fine.
Whats up with that?

Hej Bo
Well 800/400 indicates that You bought a FW disk - That's GOOD. USB =NONO
Now did You format it as Mac OS Extended ??
NOT AS Mac OS Exchangable or DOS or UNIX. Will not work.
Some Canon Cameras want to be Daisy Chained with the hard disk:
Mac <-> ext Hard disk <-> Camera
Some other doesn't like this at all (like my Sonys)
I would free up space on the internal drive by moving files out to the ext. disk
then disconnect it and do the Capture/Import
then move the movie project out to the ext disk (if it really is necessary)
If in Göteborg - Check up Göteborg Film och Video-klubb

I am so frustrated, please advise???

I have to admit that your reply seems as though it would work, but I am not sure exactly what your reply means, can you respond to me like I am an idiot and spell it out for me??? I am having a great laugh at myself right now, but if you tell me exactly what to do, I am sure I can figure it out. I did put the disc that came with my mini, I even uninstalled itunes all together and reinstalled it but that did nothing to help the cause... still getting the same response that my software is not "installed properly"

Help, just got a new hard drive installed and now my videos say, "a necessary data reference could not be found"

Help, just got a new hard drive installed and now my videos in iPhoto say, "a necessary data reference could not be found"

Not sure what happened but I was able to click on the movie, go to File then Reveal in Finder, then drag it to my desktop and then drag it back into iPhoto and it worked.

You can obtain new recovery discs for that Canadian model from Toshiba by calling 800-663-0378.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course not. You already purchased iPhoto and iMovie, so you can reinstall them for free.
If you purchased them from the Mac App Store or you got your Mac after July 2011, open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and redownload them. Note that the latest iPhoto and iMovie need OS X Mavericks.
If you purchased them in a DVD, insert the DVD and install them. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version.
If you got your Mac before July 2011, use the Applications Install Disc to install iPhoto and iMovie.

Got a new hard drive, system now has very short freezes when being used

Hello there!
I recently got a new hard drive, 1 TB from 320, and i have been having an issue where the computer seems to freeze for about half a second and then go back to normal. This happens on multiple apps and accounts. i have had it happen in safari, firefox, Minecraft and warcraft 3. It seems to happen more when the system is under heavy use like if i am playing DvZ. Basically its like the display freezes and everything else keeps going. after about half a second or so the screen will jump to where it should be. This happens both in Minecraft and Warcraft 3. in safari it happens sometimes when i go back a page, it just kind of sits with the back button highlighted for a second then it goes to the previous page. Also sometimes when i scroll it takes a second or two to start scrolling.
The system itself is not freezing totally because stuff still happens when the screen is frozen, in Warcraft 3 units will jump to where they would be is the screen hadn't frozen.
I have tested it on multiple accounts so its not isolated to one account.
Thanks for any help you can give,
ZapplePi

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help?

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

Prep your new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over. I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
You got a new iPod. What is your "old iTunes"? Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

My old iMac broke so i got a new hard drive installed. How can i retrieve my old purchased items?

hiya
got a new hard drive installed and couldn't retreive anything off my old hard drive
can i get my old purchased items from itunes
thanks

Hi hopscotch,
Log into the iTunes store and do a search to find your previously purchased items. Click the "Buy" button, and put in the same iTunes id and password that you originally used to purchase. A dialogue box will come up indicating that you have already purchased this item and do you want to download it again for free....
Say yes, and it will be re-downloaded to your Mac.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

My Mac crashed. I got a new hard drive. I reinstalled Lightroom. Fortunately ircats are stored on an external drive. How do I import all of the old catalogues from external drive into a new LR catalogue. I have done it before. It has just been many years

My Mac crashed. I got a new hard drive. I reinstalled Lightroom. Fortunately ircats are stored on an external drive. How do I import all of the old catalogues from external drive into a new LR catalogue. I have done it before. It has just been many years and I can't recall how.

If you had stored your catalog files on an external drive, then all you have to do is double-click on them to open them and use them.
Or you could move them to the internal drive and double-click on them once the move is completed.
To create a single catalog file from multiple ones, you could use File->Import from Another Catalog

I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G. My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes. The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync. During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync" then immediately goes to "finished syncing". No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

My powermac g5's hard drive failed, so I got a new hard drive with osx 10.5

I got a new hard drive for my powermac g5 after the other one failed. This one has osx 10.5 on it, I'm just wondering how im meant to install it, I'm not sure whether it will work straight away or whether I will have to install something or other with it. Thanks.

Hi-
As long as the drive is a SATA drive, and as long as the install was done on a PPC machine, or at least, with a Mac OS Extended format, the drive should be plug and play:

My computer crashed and got a new hard drive. I synced my Ipod to the new computer and i lost all my photos. Is there a way i can get them back. I do not know if my cloud worked.??

My computer crash and i got a new Hard Drive. I synced my Ipod to my Itunes and then lost all my photos that were on my ipod. I do not know if my cloud backed it up. Is there any way i can get my pictures back??????

- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
- If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
- If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream. You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod.

I just got a new hard drive, iCloud only remembered a handful of my music...

I just got a new hard drive, iCloud only remembered a handful of my music and, I don't know how to get the music from my iPhone back into my iTunes library. I want to put new music onto my phone and, I want to make some new playlists and edit some mistakes I found on the songs on my iPhone.
Please help? I am practically in tears here; I am a part-time DJ and do not need this kind of stress.
I do not want to hear that my iPhone is not a back-up device; I just want my iTunes library and the iTunes on my phone to have all the same music so that I can make playlists with everything and such.

So as a part time DJ, your music is not important enough to back up?
I do not want to hear that my iPhone is not a back-up device;
It’s not.
Bad hard drives (and important info) are two reasons you back up your computer regularly.
You do back up your computer regularly, correct?
See this ->Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

I need to know how to re-install my adobe cs6 software. I got a new hard drive.

I had something wrong with my hard drive, so I got a new one installed but this meant i left behind all of my extremely important software I need for school. When I try to re infall it it says i need my serial number which I do not have because I lost the email it was in, and when i try to go to 'start my subscription' it says it's not verified. Please help, this is so important.

First, you should always make a paper copy of important information and keep that paper copy in a safe place
Second, go to https://www.adobe.com/account.html for serial numbers on your Adobe page
