IDVD does not respond now

Hey New User here
Actually I had a G4 desktop and have just upgraded to the MacProBook Core Duo 2.
Ok here is the issue- over the weekend I had create these movies in iMovie. The first one was 33 minutes with audio and ken burns effects, still photos, transitions and video clips.
It took about 2.5 hours to finish rendering, encoding and finally burn.
The second of the two films also had the same things but is 55 minutes long. This one I spent several hours allowing it to do its encoding and rendering- maybe 4-5. It went through everything but then never burned the disk. I had to stop the process b/c I needed to present the movie at that point.
Based on the previous posts I have read it seems that my computer does not take as long to do the processing as many others.
Since the showing I have tried to clear my computer of the clutter, removing snips that were created in many attempts at the film. Now when I try to access iDVD (not the previous movie) I get no response.
I have looked in the Force Quit Menu and it does not say (Not Responding).
Any thoughts?
And should I just be happy with the amount of time that it takes for me to make the iDVDs?

Hi John
Two things.
Coding - processing time: Greatly depends on CPU speed, free amount of space
on Your internal hard disk and complexity of the movie.
- free space should be about 25Gb, 5 or less Gb = redicolous times (not hours but days)
- one still photo for 1 hour = less complex than 60 min of panorerings and
heavy action.
ActivityMonitor - lies reg what's happening during audio coding part of DVD
processing. iDVD doesn't respond. Just a lie !! It doesn't get it.
So as well if You force quit - it says the same. Don't belive it.

IDVD does not respond & freezes

I have tried deleting the .com.apple.iDVD.plist and then iDVD works fine. problem is when i save a project and try to open it the .com.apple.iDVD.plist file comes back and the little loading ball appears and I have to force quit iDVD. Also I have tried doing the Disk "Utility and that does not help.& yes I have gotten the software update. And no, I can't re-install it because it came with my Macbook Pro. How do I fix this?

Hi
Force quitting - No good strategy - at all.
*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 iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named: com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

hello
The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Nano was working perfectly until I had to reformat for windows computer. Now, it does not respond well to touch.

I recently purchased a ipod nano and briefly had it synced with my macbook pro. I recently sold my macbook pro and had to reformat ipod nano. Since then, the ipod nano does not respond very well to touch commands and sometimes goes into apps that I did not select. It is impossible to switch from page one to page two one app screen.
Thanks,

Hey acdc1996,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! Even if you have a different generation of nano, you'll want to check out the troubleshooting steps in the following article as most of them would still be applicable:

The iBook store icon: store does not respond to touch. I have bought three books before. Now it does not work.

I am trying to buy an ebook from the iBook store on my iPad mini. The icon for the store in iBooks does not respond to the touch.

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

IDVD does not open

I have read through the forums and followed some of the solutions, but it didn't solve my problem. I re-installed iDVD, up-dated it and now it opens, but then immediately "hangs itself"and does not respond anymore. So I cannot create a new file or open an old file.
I have used iDVD only once a couple of months ago as I didn't burn any DVD's n between.

Yes, I tried that. Though now I noticed after restarting that all themes are gone and there was no plist (com.apple.iDVD.phlist).
Some problem: It loads, I can choose to either create a new file or pick a previous file...but that is the end of it.
Maybe I am making something fundamentally wrong considering that this is my first Mac. When reinstalling iDVD I used the 2 OS discs that cam with the Mac. After the installations tells me that the programs are installed, do I have to so something else?
Thanks for your help.

ITunes does not respond when I try to play a movie

I just installed the latest iTunes update onto my Windows 64-bit computer and now, whenever I try to watch a movie on iTunes it freezes and does not respond. I have to start the task manager and end the program manually. I have unistalled iTunes and reinstalled it but I still face the problem of iTunes freezing and not responding. I have a pretty good collection of movies and would love to watch them cause well I paid for them but i cant because it keeps FREEZING. Also, it wont let me view trailers on the iTunes store so I'm thinking something is wrong with the 'video' part of my iTunes. Please help.

Although it's not such a good bet with a freeze as with the "iTunes has stopped working" messages, it would do no harm to try the following user tip:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with. I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do. Please tell me how to fix this!

I figured it out! I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.

Perl Flip 8230 & XP 64-bit - Desktop manager does not respond

Greetings.
I am using a brand new Perl Flip 8230 (black), along with the new software (the CD has a timestamp of 2008.12.18, well after the last update of 2008.11.17).
When I install the software, it claims to be the 4.7 version, but I am having quite a few issues with it. First of all, while all the drivers install nicely, and the phone is recognized by the connection software, I am unable to *properly* launch the Desktop Manager.
An inital launch (click on icon) of the Desktop Manager causes it to appear in the Task Manager, but it never ends up showing up on the screen. I even tried waiting for 1/2 hr, no dice. A second attempt at launching (without shutting down the process first) does cause it to appear, but it ends up completely unresponsive. There is still only one executable in the Task Manager (the second attempt did not launch a second copy), but what exists on the screen does not respond to any actions.
The window that appears is almost completely blank - the dark grey background-image is visible, but pretty well no other text or icons of any kind exist aside from a large "Menu" at the upper left, which is also nonresponsive. As well, trying to close the window by using the red X at the upper right is completely unsuccessful. In order to close the program, I need to go to the task manager, find the process, and "End Process Tree". Nothing else works.
Finally, the window that does appear also has a version number at the bottom in tiny text - version 4.5 of the desktop manager. HUH?!
I tried to install a downloaded version of 4.7 (in case there was a mix-up at the factory), but it claimed that a newer copy of the software was installed. Somehow "4.7" is older than "4.5". Strange, that. Selecting the "desktopmgr.exe" file to run in compatibility mode as plain old "XP" also does not work.
I tried to repair the installation, no dice. I have now uninstalled the software in preparation of using the 4.7 version straight from the Blackberry website. I will report back on how well that works.
As a final note, I am running Windows XP 64-bit, with the latest service pack (SP2) and all the latest patches and updates (SP3 does not exist for XP 64-bit). I cannot install the software on a 32-bit version of XP because I do not have XP 32-bit on any of my computers. Nor do I have Vista (either 32-bit or 64-bit). I have Linux (5 computers), OpenBSD (3 computers), OpenSolaris (1 computer), Windows 2003 64-bit (2 servers), Windows 2008 64-bit (1 test machine) and several other experimental platforms (HaikuOS, BeOS, etc.), but no XP 32-bit. Sorry.
My other half's computer is an older 1Ghz PowerPC4 iMac (2nd gen iMac - "lampshade" model) running 10.4 (most recent update), but that computer is not one I want to use. I am also unsure if the Blackberry software is capable of running on PowerPC Macs, as it may be Intel-only (I haven't had a chance to check yet).
If someone has any idea why my Desktop Manager is completely unresponsive, please help.
And yes, I did reboot after installation. I seriously doubt that this is an ID-ten-T error. PEBKAC does not apply!!

An installation of the downloaded 4.7 software did not function; all symptoms were idential to the version supplied on CD.
I am shutting this thread down in favour of a post in a more appropriate category. Please provide any replies in that thread.

IDVD does not start

With the launching of iDVD6, the loading of the topics the programe stop.
I am obliged to force to leave (iDVD does not answer any more)
Have you a sollution
Thank you and excuse me for the bad language I am French

Hi N
iDVD takes a while to start up.
How do you know that iDVD doesn't answer any more ? Using activity monitor ?
Well Activity monitor isn't to rely on in all circumstances. When rendering in
iMovie and coding in iDVD it indicates that either of them is not answering but
they are running as normal as ever. Just wait.
If iDVD doesn't start up the most common origin is that the user has installed
new programs but not run "repair permissions" with Apple Util tool.
As no:2 I would locate iDVD pref file and move it to desktop Then restart iDVD.
Still not working: I would start a new account, logg-out of this-one and into
the new one (it forces Mac OS to create several new pref files).
Now it should run.
What Mac are You using, processor, speed, RAM, free space on hard disk,
Mac OS version, iDVD version and QT version ?
Yours Bengt W

Flash 8 does not respond

i've just upgraded from MX to 8 and now Flash 8 hangs every
time i want to open a new file.
- i open a .FLA and edit in Flash 8
- i export the .SWF and close the file
- i open a new .FLA, but Flash does not respond and 'thinks'
about it and spins the beachball
- i have to "Force Quit" from the Dock and start the process
again
it also takes a while to boot up when i open Flash from the
Dock (as does Dreamweaver). a good few minutes for both.
i'm running OS X 10.4.8 on a G4 dual 1.25 with QuickTime
7.1.3

This is a known issue with Flash Pro CC - GM build.
this crash has been fixed in the update that was released recently. Please update to 13.0.1.808 version and it should fix this.
Please reply if it still persists after the update.

Trial Version of elements 13 running on latest IMac 27 inch. Move the mouse and it is time out. Doesn't matter where on the window the mouse is. The program does not respond quickly at all. Takes ages to do anything with it. Any suggestions?

I am running a trial version of Elements 13 on the latest IMac 27 inch. Any move of the mouse and it is time out. Doesn't matter if the mouse is trying to do an edit or just moving across the window. The program does not respond very well at all. I am wondering now if I should bother purchasing the program.

How much ram do you have? Did you recently import a bunch of photos into the organizer? PSE will be slow till it's through cataloguing them, which can take some time for large number of images.
