HELP - LR2 Won't Import And Then Quits

I posted one thread and got no responses so I thought I'd bust out the CAPS.
When I put a card in the card reader LR's importer opens. When I try to scroll down and review the images it hangs up and I get the beach ball of death. It then refuses to work and I have to Force Quit. After Force Quitting it won't open again.
I have tried Trashing the LR application and the LR2 .plist file.
I tried it with a card filled with 2 images and it seems fine. When I do it with a card with 59 images it hangs up. Then I thought it must be a RAM issue, even though RAM never seemed to be a problem importing.
So I went out and got 2 gigs of RAM. I put the RAM in and guess what? It still hangs up.
I just figured out it can import the photos but its the Preview window that is screwed up. If I have the Preview window up and I scroll down more than a few lines of photos then out comes the eternal spinning rainbow. There has to be a fix for this.
Is there a another .plist file I need to trash that gets repopulated after a new install?
Somebody please help me with this problem. I have a shoot this weekend and really need this to be resolved.
Thanks in advance for any help provided,

check on the back of the fable box, and see which mac osx was it compatible with originally, it may be compatible with previous os like snow leopard and new mac lion messed it up.
i am not confident fable developer going to do updates for lion.
it may just be that, but check on google or something

  • Safari won't open...freezes and then quits

    I'm running 10.3.9 and whenever I open Safari, it will open, freeze and then quit. I have the Cubs home page as the default page but I can't keep Safari open long enough to change it.
    I can't keep Safari open long enough to do anything, except submit more of those inane "Crash Reports" to Apple which probably don't do anything.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? I've done Disk Utility and that hasn't helped.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi econwriter5!
    The first thing I would do is trash the Safari preferences, and Cache.
    HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > CACHES
    Trash:
    Safari (Folder)
    HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > SAFARI
    Trash:
    Icons (Folder)
    History.plist (File)
    HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES
    Trash:
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Good Luck!

  • ITunes launches and then quits responding in windows 7.

    iTunes launches and then quits responding...I have windows 7.  How do I correct the issue without having to check each song to see if it is a problem.  I have over 8000 of them and that would suck.

  • ICal creates blank calendars and then quits

    I was publishing my calendars and synching Ical to my .Mac account. Now, Ical keep creating new blank calendars and then quitting! Help!

    Try this:
    Locate the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iCal and drag it to your desktop
    In the folder ~/Library/Prefeences/ delete any files (2-4) that start com.apple.iCal and end .plist
    (~ represents your home directory)
    Start iCal. Let me know what happens. I expect it will start with two blank calendars, no syncing and no publishing, but there are other possibilities. If we get that far we can then try restoring your original calendars.

    It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
    1. What OS are you running.
    To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
    2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
    To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
    Version number:
    Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)

  • HT4623 When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away.  What should I do?

    When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away.  What should I do?

    I would reinstall iOS 7.
    Open iTunes (11.1 or later) on your computer and plug your iPhone into your computer.
    Sync your iPhone with iTunes.
    Click on your iPhone device and from the Summary Tab, Back up using iCloud and/or iTunes.
    On your iPhone, open Settings/iCloud and turn off Find My Phone.
    In iTunes, click on the Restore button on the Summary tab next to Check for Updates.
    iTunes will completely wipe your phone and reinstall iOS 7.
    Setup your iPhone as new and restore from your back up.
    Check to see if the iTunes app is functioning correctly and not closing on you.
    I did this last night when setting Limit Ad Tracking kept closing Settings and taking me back to the Home screen. After reinstalling iOS 7, the issue went away.

  • HT201302 I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
    While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device.

  • IPhoto crashes when emptying the Trash and then quitting iPhoto

    When I empty the iPhoto trash and then quit iPhoto, it crashes every time. When I reopen it the trash is again full.
    Also, the items in the trash are blank squares.
    Any ideas?

    Ronniebel:
    Have you tried the usual maintenance procedures? Repair disk permissions, repair the disk with Disk Utility while booted into the system installation disk that came with you Mac, run Tiger Cache Cleaner's medium cleaning routine or OnyX to clean out the various user caches and the cron maintenance scripts.
    Also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    Another possibility is to run iPhoto Library Manager and use its File->Rebuild Library menu option to rebuild the library.
    Next, move the iPhoto Library folder to the Shared folder and set the access so other users can read and write. Then log into another account on you Mac, fire up iPhoto with the Option key depressed and locate and open the library in the Shared folder. See if you can delete the trash there and operate normally. If you can then it's something to do with your other account. If you can't then it's the library itself.
    Good luck.

  • When ever I launch my safari, it will stay on for about a minute and then quits on me. It has a "safari quit unexpectedly" dialog box with a bunch of codes that I can send a report to apple. im not very good with this kind of thing, plz help!

    Thank you

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then GULP, check for this...
    Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

  • Smoothcam analyzes and then quits.

    I have a Dodeca MacPro with FCS 2 installed. I have attempted to use the smoothcam filter and the computer appears to analyze the file and even starts creating that analyzed file and then stops and deletes the file. I have reset preferences and even reinstalled the whole OS. I am quite familiar with FCP so I have done all the basic stuff I can think of and even the more advanced stuff. My files are in DV format captured right into FCP. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi
    Two things gets into my mind
    • free space to be able to work - on start-up hard disk ? How much ?
    • Smoothcam - Has one un-intuitive way of working. It Analyzes the full Capture
    not only the part selected.
    Due to this one get's very long processing times and eventually craches
    Select sceen needed to be stabilized
    Export this as a full Quality QuickTime movie AND Self-containing.
    Re-import this into FCP
    Now Analyze and Stabilize this.
