I'm "frozen" even after restarting computer?

Working on imovie & have about 32 min of material. Project has mainly stills, small amount of video, but lots of titles, voiceovers,  and cutaways. Accidentally placed a caption on a piece of video, and went under Edit and chose UNDO. The program was frustrated. It was no longer showing all my video on the screen! I quit IMovie the correct way, and even restarted the computer. ALL I can do is select from the Menu. When I did, I chose "play from beginning" and it played fine, although a couple of cutaways were deleted which I can replace. What concerns me is I have no ability to scroll, no ability to "choose" anything whatsoever except items from the Menu that are not grayed out. I am relieved the mamouth work I have done is not "lost" but I am in the middle of this project and scared something is amiss as my deadlines approach. Any ideas???????? BTW I have an Apple because I am NOT techincally savvy so be very basic and very step by step please

  • New update never finished even after restarting computer and can't uninstall Firefox

    After loading Firefox 3.6.10 and restarting the computer, I got the message: you must restart your computer in order to finish an earlier upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to restart now ? I restarted the computer a couple of time. It doesn't work. I get every time the same message. I tried to uninstall Firefox but it doesn't work either.

    Try manually resetting the software update feature by deleting the files and folders shown in the "Software Update not working properly" section of this site - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update
    After doing that try to re-install Firefox.

  • Dual G5 frozen even after restart. Mouse & keyboard not responding.

    Regarding older Dual G5...recently began using after updating to latest compatible OS ( 10.5.? )...left for dinner... returned to unit frozen, tried re starts, no results...mouse or keyboard not responsive.. have done several re-starts, hard re-starts ( unplugged all ), changed keyboard and mouse, disconnected any 3d party devices... Full screen comes up, window about conflict with "Suitcase"comes up, but keyboard & mouse do nothing???...Clif

    Hello,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?

    Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?
    I was saving a document when it originally quit. so "locked" file appeared in directory as well as reg file.
    Upon restart of InDesign, recovery failed and software quit again.
    Restarted computer, then indesign, file opens but as soon as I select "recover" it sends a message that indesign needs to close.
    I cannot seem to get out of this cycle. Help.

    Use your operating system’s Search utility to find a folder called (InDesign Recovery) and delete it.

  • Unresponsive system but mouse still moves; even after restart

    I was transferring a few files over my LAN wirelessly via file sharing to another macbook (B) when that macbook was closed and caused a disconnect. My macbook (A) has experienced issues since this disconnect. Even after restarts and resetting the pram, my system is unresponsive. The mouse will move but I cannot open applications, folders, files, or even the menu. It is as if my mouse is moving over top a picture of the desktop. I did manage to click and highlight my HD icon once but as soon as I did, the color wheel showed up and never stopped. My hard drive has over 10GB of space free. I was able to do a target disk boot and test the drive and its ok according to disk utility. Any ideas about what I could do would be greatly appreciated...preferably without wiping the hard drive.

    The first issue occurred while I was transferring large files from one computer to another via afp file sharing over my wireless network. In the middle of this transfer, someone closed the receiving macbook. The macbook sending the files didn't respond well after this. It would intermittently freeze without a linked resource draining process. I believe the first occurrence was when I tried to right click a file that had been interrupted during transfer. I forced a restart, used the killall Finder command in terminal thinking that it might still be trying to transfer the file to a ghost in some way...even though that didn't make sense. I was able to verify and repair the external drive the file was on. After doing this and resetting the PRAM, it was back to normal for a little while. After a bit of normal activity (nothing strenuous), it began to freeze again. I tried the same steps and also booted in target disk mode so I could use the other macbook to run diagnostics. The drive got repaired. I attempted to restart the affected macbook but I couldn't do anymore than one thing and the never-ending colorwheel would appear. That one thing could be a single click on a file or an attempt of opening an application. After that I turned to this discussion forum after already impatiently attempting to safe mode boot and repair disk permissions. I tried this again with patience after your suggestion. It worked for a few hours and I was able to surf the web once more and go about the usual. I pulled up dashboard and pressed command+ to bring up the list of widgets and it froze on me again. I attempted previous steps again after restarting but there has been no difference in response. Throughout the entirety of this experience, there have been no error messages. Also, there's no difference in behavior if I disconnect everything but the power cable.
    Sorry for the lengthy post but hopefully it will be helpful.

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

  • Preview is STILL frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. Help?!? I need to see my files!

    Not sure what I did, but Preview continues to stay frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. It seems like it is trying to open all 720 pdf documents I have on my internal memory. That's my best guess... I really don't know what happened. I've tried clicking the 'close windows when closing application' option under general settings and every other thing I've seen listed on help sites... nothing is working. PLEASE HELP?!?

    Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
    Containers/com.apple.Preview
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState
    Log out and log back in. Launch the application and test.

  • When ever I customize the toolbar the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox.

    When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />

  • When the Mavericks download was complete (about 45 minutes), nothing happened, even after restarting. Still running 10.8.5

    When the Mavericks download was complete (about 45 minutes), nothing happened, even after restarting. Still running 10.8.5

    Look in your Applications folder. Is there a Mac OS X Mavericks installer in the folder? If there is then select it. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. See if the size of the file is around 5.3 GBs. If it is then try double-clicking on it to run it. If you cannot run it, then you have an incomplete download. Try it again. It's a very large file, and unless you have a really fast pipe it can take longer than 45 minutes to download.

    Can you please specify more, what generation and is it wifi or wifi and cellular?
    The best thing to do with all ipad's is try ro set it back to factory setting, go into itunes, open the screen that displays your ipad and press, reset r factory settings or something like that.
    Remember to make a backup first! Otherwise you will lose all your files.

    Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

  • On my laptop I cannot open up Mozilla browzer because it say it is allready running, but it is not even after shutting computer off an restarting. How do I turn it off

    I cannot get on line because it states it is already running. This has happened before and it tells me I should restart computer which works, but this weekend it has not worked and it keeps telling me it is still working. This is not the laptop that I am having trouble with that is why I can ask my question. The one with the problem is Windows XP. Now every time time I go to open the browser it looks like it is starting up and then nothing no matter how long you wait

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    You can force Firefox to create a new default profile if you remove the profiles.ini file.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
    You can find that file here:
    C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
    The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

  • Camera on 5s is frozen even after reset any ideas? Thx

    My camera is frozen on my iPhone 5s even after resetting...any ideas?  Thx

    That is NOT unfreezing it for me. It returns to home page now after about thirty seconds of total freeze (worsened from last night).
    And now some really strange things are adding to it, like when waking and sliding to unlock, the tab is sticking for several seconds to the right before opening home page. Nobody seems to know whether apps are saved in sync for easy load following a restore. (??)
    Edit to add: when I try the hard reset, it simply prompts whether I want to shut down, so I guess yes, it does finally help to exit the frozen shutter, though as I said, it releases after about thirty seconds.
    One more edit: I turned my iphone off and restarted it to find, knock on wood, that the camera's working now. Will see where it goes from here.

  • How do I stop safari from reopening previous sessions even after restart?

    Finally made the leap to Lion.
    WHY does safari insist on starting up and restoring the previous session, all tabs and everything even after a restart.  I've looked in preferences and for the life of me cannot find how/where to turn this off.  I just want Safari to start with a blank page, not reloading the previous page/tabs I had open the last time I used it!

    Thanks QuickTimeKirk for the solution to this - have hated this feature as the default. It is useful if you want to return to something specific, but I reckon the majority of users would rather have the defaults the other way around - homepage as default for new Safari sessions and using the shift key when opening to return to last viewed pages/tabs.

  • My iMac will not update to 10.6.8 Even after restarting, it will not update.

    My iMac will not update to 10.6.8 even after clicking the restart button to update items. How can I update my iMac??

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Sometimes the Software Update version doesn't work properly. If you can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 from Software Update, install it through the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    The Combo installer allows you to update multiple Macs with a single download. Also, it's safer because it gives less problems than a Software Update version
