HELP!  My iMovies HD 6.0.3 are freezing up in the same place!

I have been using iMovie for years now, and I have never had any problems that I can't figure out some type of solution for. But no, all of a sudden, I'm having MAJOR issues!! I have two movies that I made that are freezing up always in the same place. I didn't know it was an issue until I made about 40 DVDs of the movie I put into iDVD, and everyone that received the DVD reported to me that the dvd froze in the same spot. I went into iMovie to see if it was happening there, and sure enough, it was.
I thought maybe it was a RAM issue, but I checked another, much smaller movie, and it is doing the same thing- although I made one DVD that worked from that movie, it is now freezing too.
I thought maybe a section of the movie somehow got corrupted, so I deleted the scene that was freezing, but the movie still froze at about the same spot- but now during a different scene.
The big movie I made was a huge project for me, very time consuming because I recorded an elementary musical and used 2 different performances from 3 different cameras each show. So I REALLY do NOT want to have to start from scratch- especially since I am nervous that it might happen again.
Any ideas or suggestions??!!!
I've searched other posts, and I haven't come across anything specifically like this. However, I did try deleting the com.apple.iMovie.plist file based on something that sounded similar. This did nothing.
THANKS!!!!!

Did You install iLife08 ? If so - YOU NEED TO upgrade iMovie to 6.0.4 !
*No, I didn't upgrade because of the memory issues with iMovie and iDVD...*
Second thought:
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? > 10Gb or rather 25Gb.
Free space on external hard disk - if relevant. 13Gb per hour movie + about
double space to be able to do any editing to it.
*I did this... I moved all of my video files over to an external hard drive so that I would have plenty of hard drive space. (Thanks for the numbers though- I have never had anyone spell out the actual memory needs per hour- very helpful!!)*
Third thought:
If there is an external hard disk - IT HAS TO be formatted Mac OS Extended
(Buy in Apple Store is no guarantie - usually DOS/UNIX/FAT32 formatted - not OK)
*I am not working from any type of external hard disk with these movies.*
I'm still open for suggestions though!!
Oh, I also tried watching the iMovie file on my older eMac, and it froze at exactly the same spot... seems like an issue with the actual file, doesn't it?? I'm baffled!! Is it possible there is some sort of corruption or something??
THANKS!!!!!

  • Both my iPods and my iPad are freezing up at the same spot why trying to sync with iTunes. What's going on?

    Several times and with several different iPods I've been trying to sync with iTunes and it gets to 653 of 661 and freezes up. Nothing will work I have to power down and reboot. Even if I do a smaller selection with just a few songs it is freezing up a few songs away from finishing. I've updated and run diagnostics, now both my iPods are empty and I can't figure out what to do next. Can anyone help me out here?

    Try this,
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    When i delete photos from photo stream in iphoto .. The pictures are still there on my iphone's photo stream. They are both connected to the same i cloud account.. And i cannot update to ios 5.1 on iphone.. Any help ??

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

  • There are multiple users with the same display name

    Hi,
    We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
    "There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
    Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
     SELECT     
         [ProviderDisplayName]  
        ,[DisplayName]  
        ,[HasDisplayName]  
        ,[Domain]  
        ,[AccountName]  
        ,[UniqueUserId]  
        ,[LastSync]  
      FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'  
    Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
    We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
    Best regards

    Hi DSW,  
    Thanks for your post.
    In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
    your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

    I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

    I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately"  So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me  out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

    I deleted the Entourage contacts as that seemed to be the program that was causing the problems.  When I synced this morning, now all my contacts are gone from every where. 
    How can I restore to my last back?  If I restore, it will ask to restore to the back that was just made… which has no contacts?  
    Help would be greatly appreciated !!

  • I just upgraded my old versionj 3 of photoshop elements to v13  when I import photos they are not imported in the same order they are mixeds up

    hi can I have a reply to above question: I just upgraded my old versionj 3 of photoshop elements to v13  when I import photos they are not imported in the same order they are mixeds up

    In the documents screen - sorry, new to this so not sure if that's the right terminology... Basically the screen showing all documents, if you drag down, there should be two options at the of of the page: Date and Name. Select Name and your list should now be in alphabetic order.
    Hope that helps.

  • Measure area and perimeter at the same time

    I tried to measure area and perimeter at the same time but couldnt find a way to do that. I need to cover an area and to see area and perimeter at the same time and drawing two seperate measure lines -one for area the other for perimeter, is gonna be quite time consuming for me. Is there a way to see area and perimeter at one shot? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Professional.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro.  My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook.  They are all associated with the same Apple ID.  How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

    I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro.  My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook.  They are all associated with the same Apple ID.  When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop.  How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

    Perhaps you mean the OP needs to add a new email address for his AppleID and use that email address.
    Yes. That's what I meant.
    Change the "You can de Reached by Facetime At" for one of them under Settings->Facetime->You can be Reached by Facetimer At.
    I probably should have specified "Change the "You can de Reached by Facetime At"(email address) ...
    NOW TO CORRECT:  Even though I said you could, you can't.
    I tried this out just now and you can't facetime a device using the same Apple ID.
    So yes, you infact need another Apple ID for this. Not just another email address.

    I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called.  If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    Hey David Koh TP,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    Thanks,
