HELP PLEASE! I am working with GH4 4k footage in adobe preimere and the computer keeps freezing... any ideas?

Thanks for your response. I'm sorry for the lack of details, but posting a question on this forum is completly new to me, so I guess I am learning how it works.
I have to be honest, I am a novice to video editing, but I am here to learn so I will provide all the info I know and please let me know if it is enough...
I filmed my first feature film on a Panasonic GH4. We filmed in 4k (compressed files). I am about 900 GB of total files for all the footage. I am currently editing on a 17' Toshiba Satellite i7 with 750 GB of space and I believe 8 gb of ram. All of the footage for the film is not on the computer, but stored on a 1 TB external hardrive (Rugged Lacie is the name of the hard drive). I am using a usb 3.0 from the hard drive to the computer.
I actually was able to get through about 17 mins of edits for the film before I started to experiencing the computer completely freezing up on me. I tried using a different hard drive, and same issue. A friend mentioned it might just be the computer is not powerful enough to edit all the footage, but he wasn't for sure considering the computer is less than a year old and is on the higher end for a toshiba.
I am requesting advice on how to continue editing the film without the computer crashing if that is even possible with using the same computer. If not what would be my options?
Thank you!

Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

Bought Canon FS400 videocam with digital storage. iPhoto says cannot recognize the file format. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

I cannot upgrade my iMac 2009 to snow leopard (it was deleted by mistake) now is running 10.5.8, the snow leopard dvd is not installing and the computer keeps crashing..If anyone have an answer, PLEASE Help me.

I have a 2009 iMac 4,1 2GHz intel Core duo it says here I have 1GB of memory. I had it running on snow leopard 10.6.8 I still have the SN software that i bought to made the upgrade. Had some guest staying at my place and they deleted the running os and a lot of files and stuff..., now is running on leopard 10.5.8 and it's giving me a lot of problems because is soo obsolete, also hte computer is crashing all the time and every time I try ti install the SL dvd, the computer won't read the dvd and I'm keeps booting me off. Is not getting better at all and now when I restart the iMac before I get the grey apple screen, the folder of death icon flashes, (I already lost my Macbookpro due this situation. What can I do to resolve this aggravating and frustrating Issue. Need help now ..Please

Before we get too far, please clarify this part:
I have a 2009 iMac 4,1
A 2009 iMac cannot be an iMac 4,1; they are 9,1 and higher. Did you mean to type "2006?" That would be an iMac 4,1. We need to pin down the model issue before proceeding.
It could be the drive, not the disk, that is dirty. Try a drive cleaning disk, usually about US$5-15 at home entertainment, electronics stores and office superstores

The letters e-o on my keyboard is not working properly. Nothing spilled, Laptop not dropped. I've cleaned out underneath and everything seems fine. Problem happens intermittently but seems to get worst the longer I have the computer on. Any ideas?

Macbook pro OSX Version 10.9.4
Top row of letters, e-o, are sluggish and not working each time press them.
I have cleaned underneath them, I did not spill anything or drop the computer - It just started to happen.
Any ideas????

The behavior of the keyboard not responding after the machine is on and used for a time sounds a lot like swelling under the keyboard…the battery is under the keyboard, processor to the side, and issues with trackpads and keyboards have often ended up being a battery swelling. Makes it worth while taking the MacBook Pro in sooner rather than later to have it checked. The techs may ask to keep the machine for a few hours so they can run it long enough to see the behavior if nothing shows immediately on their diagnostics.
When things like this happen, my attitude is on the conservative side…check it out before it can get worse.

Itunes not seeing my ipad. Have turned it on/off and the computer too, didn't help., Itunes not seeing my ipad. Have turned it on/off and the computer too, didn't help.

Itunes is not recognizing my Ipad. I tried to restore the Ipad settings when the syncing wasn't working - well Itunes was getting stuck and wasn't responding. Now the IPad icon isn't showing up in Itunes when I connect.

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

This is just to report a problem with Apple updates. I updated recently and the computer brought up my 2012 desktop with all my 2014 files and data including stickies missing! Now I hesitate to do another Apple update. What would you do?

Apple Updates: This is just to report a problem. I updated recently and on restart the computer restored up my 2012 desktop with all my 2014 files and data including stickies missing!!! Now I hesitate to do another Apple update. What would you do?

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

Help! Mid 2009 MacBook Pro won't boot! Just apple and the wheel keeps turning... Out of AppleCare , survived the hurricane, NOW WHAT?

Won't boot. Won't turn off. No sounds. Just wheel turning around and around. What to do???

Don't turn it off, perform a emergency backup proceedure to a new drive.
Emergency backup procedure
Drag and drop copy your users file folders (music, pictures, documents etc) to a regular external powered drive as soon as possible.
Do not use, setup or trust only TimeMachine at this troubled time as it will copy corrupted data and we need just your users files safe just in case. TimeMachine cannot be used with a Windows PC.
Unmount (right click > eject) and disconnect all external drives once the backup process is completed.
Note:
If you have any over 4GB sized files, those won't copy to a standard formatted FAT32/MSDOS drive from the factory, if you need to save these 4GB+ files use another blank/empty drive and use Disk Utility to format it 1 Partition, Option: GUID, Format: OS X Extended Journaled.
Typical large 4GB+ sized files are movies, imovie projects and raw (non-compressed) audio files. Naturally if you don't have any of these or can avoid backing them up (like you don't care about them) then there is no need to reformat the drive from FAT32/MSDOS.
Mac's cannot copy to nor format a NTFS drive. ExFAT format to be used with a Windows machine must be right click formatted by Windows, not OS X (does it wrong) XP machines can install a free exFAT update from Microsoft. Vista-Win 8 can format exFAT.
Formatting a drive will erase all data on it.
Once the backup is completed, you can take your machine to a local PC/Mac tech and they can solve your software and or some hardware issues, but if a hardware issue is determined, you should take it to Apple first as they have the electronic checker.
If you get a new machine, drive or new OS X installed as a result of this problem, then you can access your external drive backup and restore just your files if the tech support won't or you rather do it yourself for privacy reasons.
1: Connect the drive and click on the icon and Finder > Get Info
2: At the bottom unlock and "Ignore Permissions on this volume" provide your Adim password.
3: Once your files are transferred to the new account, then perform #6 Reset User Permissions here

Wrong apple ID comes up with App store, even though in settings it the right ID. Any ideas how to stop his ?

My apple ID is the correct one however whn I go into app store it still comes up with my old account and I can't get the password as its a very old email account which is now deactivated.
I can't find a way to change the email for the apple ID when it pops up asking for my password.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Ah! Never thought about that, does this mean I have to uninstall the apps I downloaded with that old account and download them again with my new account?

My Iphone goes into "connect to Itunes" mode, I connect to Itunes and restore, then with 24 hours I get the same message again, any ideas ?

My phone goes into "connect to Itunes" mode and locks up, I connect to Itunes and do a restore and then within 24 hours I get the same message again and the phone locks up. any ideas ?

You're welcome.
A hardware problem doesn't mean complete failure.
With a computer, a hard drive can have a partial or complete failure.
If it wasn't a hardware problem, it would be resolved after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If not, every iPhone running 5.1.1 would have the same problem.

HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8. Please help me with any suggestions on what to do. Thank you.

HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8. Please help me with any suggestions on what to do. Thank you. I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard. The newest ones only work with Lion. My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari. This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site. Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me. I do not know what to do....

Hi Sue,
What exactly happens when trying Safari?
They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

Hello Creative Cloud Illustrator Community:
Help Please!
This is with regard to creating a compound path:
I have set some white type on a circle and then created outlines. I then placed the outlined type on a black stroked ring which I then selected "outlined stroke." I then put both "outlined" graphical elements on a separate solid bkg. (all 3 are on the same layer). Lastly, I then selected the top two elements and went to "make" a "compound path" (because I want the type to be the "holes" so I can see through to the background). However, the only effect I get is the white outlined type turning black (the same color as the black ring). What am i doing wrong? I can achieve the desired result with simple boxes but it won't work with a circular type path, a stroked ring and a solid bkg.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!

Thanks for the response Jacob.
Unfortunately, I tried your suggestion with no success. BTW, minus front is now Subtract. Apparently, by clicking option>subtract, it works in the same way as minus front. I tried this to no avail.
Let me reiterate please.
I have 3 graphic elements-all on the same layer:
1. Background: Gold circle with a fill and no stroke.
2. Middle: Black ring (Stroked) inside gold background circle.
3. Top: White copy set on a circular type path and placed directly on top of middle black ring.
Both the middle black ring and top type path HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO OUTLINES.
LASTLY, I select the Middle and Top, go to Compound Paths and choose "Make" and my white copy turns to black. Wrong!
WHAT I WANT TO HAPPEN: I want the white copy to become HOLES, so the GOLD background shows through.
Any solutions would be very much appreciated!
