Help, iMovie has quit working. It just freezes when opened.
I put my many projects in a different folder because iMovie 11 was freezing and I couldn't accomplish anything. I put 1 project in at a time and it worked great for 5-6 projects. Then I wanted to combine 5 projects into one. To do that I found if I put the 5 projects in iPhoto I could then find them in the event library window and drag them to the project area, edit the volume and export to iTunes as one movie. However, now putting one project in the project folder results in nothing but a frozen iMovie I have to force quit. Oh yea, you have to close iMovie and reopen it to get the new project to show up or at least that worked for awhile. I trashed the preference for iLife and cleaned up premissions. Any other ideas to get the thing to work and loose the spinning ball....?
Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.
Yours Bengt W

My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working. Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine. The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine. Can anybody help?
Just tested something and it worked.
If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
It's probably this crappy headphones.
If anyone has the same problem, try this out. -

Even when I start firefox I have to sit here and wait for it to tell me a script on this page is not responding or has quit working. Once that happens which takes a while, I can say stop script and it moves on. I've always liked using firefox and have never had a problem in the past, however if I can't get this particular problem fixed, and I've tried many ways to do this, I may have to change to another browser. I would hope that you could find out why this is happening to me before I make that decision. One other thing, I am using the dreaded Vista OS.
Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

My son received a laptop for christmas last december..Itunes has worked on it up until about a month ago. Now the program states this: Itunes has quit working- we have uninstalled and reinstalled earlier verions as well as the new version. they all go through the process but when it finalizes and we open it says the same thing. under the details of the error we get all this stuff:
Problem signature:
problem Event Name:
APPCRASH
Application Name:itunes.exe
Application Version: 10.6.3.25
It goes on forever with a list of code. We have even tried to the the winsock reset and nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we need to do? We have done everything the apple support site has stated but nothing seems to work. I hate to think we has lost all his purchased music etc over this. HELP!'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

Dreamweaver cc will not open, msg says it has quit working
I am on windows 7 After three days of no dreamweaver I uninstalled and then reinstalled thru the creative cloud.
Unfortunately the same error message is coming up. Just says it has quit working..
I tried going to the internet options, settings, for Lan and unchecked the use proxy, and checked auto detect has has been told in here, but did not help.
after that I went to OObe file in appdaa and removed the .db file that was also told on here to be another thing to do.
IAs I am still getting same error Adobe Dreamweaver cc has quit working.
Notes: I checked other CC apps, like AI and DW CS6 and fireworks all opened in normal window as expected, so this is peculiar to Dreamweaver cc. I hope I have given enough info for some bright forumn expert to help me.
I have enjoyed the crfeative cloud, and the price is ok, but if its just going to go away and no one seems to know what to do, I am at a loss.
Thanks for listening.Hello akirekab,
sorry but I really have to resist. As strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try - like you did by using Windows alone- to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

ITunes Helper Module has stopped working
I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and now iTunes and Quicktime wont open at all. When I click on iTunes or when I first turn the computer on, a window pops up that says the iTunes Helper module has stopped working. Then another window pops up right after that says "iTunes has stopped working". It checks for a solution to the problem and then says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." When I try to open QuickTime, it says "Runtime error! Program:C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTime Player.exe This application has requested the RunTime to terminate it in an unusual way." I have Vista which seems to cause problems with the firewall and iTuens, so I turned off the firewall from my security software, switched on the windows firewall, and made sure the settings were right. I even tried doing a System restore to the previous version (same problems) and then tried reinstalling the new version (Still same problems). Anyone have any suggestions?!?!
hey stess,
I have the exact problem you have. I tried deleting (went into program files and deleted the folders ) from my system and reinstalling it. It worked until i rebooted my system, I am still on xp. The restore doesnt help either. It cant be my ipod ( its quiet old!) as it isnt even connected to my system at start up. I think maybe a bug with the new version that will eventually have more and more users affected when they update. I f i find a solution I will post asap... good luck -

RoboHelp has suddenly quit working. I have restarted my machine and it makes no difference. Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks.
PS This seems to be related to a specific project that worked yesterday morning and by afternoon had quit working. All I changed was some text.It has quit working no matter what project or just one?
If just one, try deleting the CPD file and then opening it.

My Adobe digital editions has stopped working. It won't open and just pops up to say it's not working.
Sydneybling it does sound like your security software is interfering with the process of installing and utilizing your Adobe Creative applications. I would recommend that you try temporarily disabling your security software and utilizing the directions listed at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install InDesign CC.

Airplay has quit working. I've got the latest updates. No apple products will connect to it.
Airplay has quit working. I've got the latest updates. No apple products will connect to it. Any ideas?
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

GB Has Quit Working - Software Update the Cause?
Out of the blue, Garageband (v4.1.1) has quit working. It worked fine one day, and the next day it didn't work at all. It will open, but I can't click any of the buttons or move any sliders or drop downs. If I hit the spacebar, my song will start playing, but I can't just press the button to stop it. The only thing that's changed on my system was a software update a week or so ago, including an update of Quicktime (I have QT Pro). I've reinstalled Garageband (back to version 4.0) but the same thing happens. I've also unhooked my two MIDI devices and tried starting the program, but still nothing. Does anyone know if there is a way to go back to my previous configuration, before the system update? Any other ideas? I 'm running OS 10.4.11 on a G5.
Thanks in advance!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
