IDVD freezes when attempting to reconnect files

I have moved all of the files from my iDVD project onto a new hard drive. When attempting to reconnect audio/video files in "Project Info" it freezes every time without ever connecting the files. Photo files connect fine. I've even moved the project back onto the original hard drive with no luck.
This is a complex iDVD project with chapters, so it would never be the same if I have to redo it- I need to make exact duplicates.
I cannot reinstall as I no longer have disks.
Thanks!

Do you have a burned disk copy of the DVD project? If so just make a disk image of it with Disk Utility and burn the addtional copies from the disk image.
Otherwise give this a try:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

IDVD freezes when attempting to make a disk image

I created an iMovie, edited it and added music. I clicked Create DVD within iMovie and created my .dvdproj. I then attempted to create a Disk Image in iDVD and the application just keeps freezing during the Process Movies stage. What would be causing this??? This is becoming increasingly frustrating.
I have 37G of space available on my iBook and 92G of space on my external hard drive. I attempted the last disk image from the external hard drive. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

I don't recall if I formatted the Lacie exteranl hard drive when I purchased it, and I now have files/photos, etc saved to it.
problem is, formatting a drive means erasing all content... using Disk Utitily, choose connected drive - you can read in the lower third, how it is formatted.. if FAT32, you have to save the data "somewhere else" (me wiseguy..burn some data DVDs..), and then format to hfs/MacOsExtended, most ext.hd are out-of-the-box formatted for PC, as said, that works with a Mac, but not with video files....
Yes, some of the music was purchased through iTunes.
AHA!!
… there's a time consuming, legal workaround:
do you know, how to create audioCDs with iTunes? link to Apple doc
make a playlist of your purchased tunes, burn an audioCD..
then, sorry to say that, re-import from that audioCD back to iTunes/or drag'n drop files directly into your iM project's timeline...
this process is needed, to get rid of the copyprotection which is installed inside the aacs you bought from iTMS... that workaround is legal and Apple recommended (lost that link to some Apple doc...anyone?)
... I've read here many people experiencing that "frozen" iDVD because of usage of iTMS music, I don't know why Apple has not implemented some "warning message" in iDVD/iM, telling the average user that issue ("you try to use copy protected music - please follow advise... - something like that..
happy copying!
PS: 29Gb is fine... iDVD needs 10 - 15GB for some temp files (which are not shown in finder and will vanish after burning), and your Mac needs some 5Gb to be a happy Mac...

Whenever I wipe a little bit to the side on my magic mous the opened tab starts freezing when attempting to go back.
Restart didn't help and there was no system error Message.
Thank you for supporting!
By the way, I'm running Maverick already.

From the Safari menu bar, select

HT1692 iOS7 Calendar freezing when attempting to accept/decline/maybe a meeting request from Microsoft Outlook Exchange... (iPhone 5s)

My iOS7 calendar on my iPhone 5s continually freezes when I attempt to accept/decline/maybe (respond in general) to any invitations that come through to the device... The main ones I get (so the ones I am experiencing the issue with) are from Microsoft Outlook Exchange Account (also synced through Mail app).
I have attempted to go via the emails I receive with the invitation and the device freezes when attempting to action the request through the Mail app also.
I'm hard reset the phone, I've removed and re-established the account in the phone, but nothing fixes the issue. It might work for one or two invitations, but it will start freezing again without a pattern...
This is a real pain, because these meeting requests etc are for work meetings and interviews!
Thanks guys!

We are seeing a similuar issue here at work on serveral devices.
Using Lotus Notes for mail and calendar
iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S
Running iOS 7
When an email comes in for a meeting invite if you click on the Date and Time in blue it will walk you through opening the invite in your calendar and then I can Accept/Decline without issue. If you click on the Invitation icon, which seems to be what users intuitively, in the the email then it freezes up the mail app., see image below.

Finder freezes when trying to move files to external hard drive

Whenever I try to move files from internal hard drive to my external finder freezes it. I have over 5 TBs of free space on my external, so I know it's not a space issue. This happens no matter the size of the file. It starts the copy and then will freeze before it finishes. If I try to force quit and select relaunch it acts like it is relaunching but my icons never re-appear and the command bar at the top never returns. So I end up having to hard boot.
I just reinstalled the 10.5.8 combo update and verified both hard disks, if any repairs came up I repaired and then did the same with disk permissions....it's still freezing on me. I am frustrated because there are some files I'd really like to move to my external raid hard drive but I'm not able to.
The freezing happens if I'm trying to transfer files from a disc or an additional external HD. My internal HD is only so big and the external Raid drive is for my capture scratch on Final Cut Pro and I'm even having issues capturing to that drive. Everything wants to be on my internal HD and that doesn't work for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you get any error messages and if so what are they? Do you have any problems copying files off the problem drive back to your Mac or do the freezes only occur when copying to the external?
No I don't get any error messages, the finder just freezes and when I try to relaunch finder it doesn't relaunch properly..all icons are missing and I'm not able to access the the task bar to properly shut down so I have to hard boot.
It happens only when trying to save files to the external, whether through drag and drop or within programs. I am able to access files on the external and copy files from there to my internal without problems.
Have you tried attaching this drive to another Mac and if so do you get the same issues?
I don't have another Mac to attach the drive to.
How is this RAID attached, SCSI, FireWire, SATA or what? How was the RAID created, Disk Utility or third party software and have you verified the integrity of the RAID?
The RAID is attached via SCSI. In an attempt to solve this finder issue I re-installed the drivers to the most current drivers available and in doing so updated any firmware....and there was no change. I was not the one who set up the RAID so I don't know how it was created. It's an Enhance UltraStore R16 and I've been using it without issues since January 2007 and this freezing thing has been intermittent for a few months now but now it's constant and annoying. I've verified the disk through disk utility but I don't have any software to check the integrity otherwise. Do you have any recommendations as to what software I could use to do this?

Lightroom freezes when attempting to edit in Photoshop Elements 13.1

Good day,
I've noticed that Lightroom 5.7.1 hangs when attempting to edit in Photoshop Elements 13.1. It will sit there saying processing and make no progress no matter how much time its given. I've noticed that I can get it to work if I change the file format from TIFF to JPEG. Is this a known issue with a fix/work around?
The next thing that I've come across, is that when editing in Photoshop Elements 13.1 through Lightroom, the changes made are not saved to the file (yes I'm clicking save). To get the changes made in Elements to save, I have to go back to Lightroom open the copy that was made for the export into Elements and select "Edit in Elements". If I make all the edits again and save, it will then update the file in Lightroom. It doesn't appear initially that Lightroom lets Elements change the file.
And ideas?
Carl

It has always allowed me in the past to send an image i am working on in LR to PS (I would choose to edit the original) the when saved down in PS it would then update the version in LR with the LR effects added as well. Suddenly it no longer gives me the option to 'edit the original '. I have always worked in RAW

BI 4.0 Launch Pad will Freeze When Attempting to Schedule a Report

I recently set up BI 4.0 Edge series onto my server running MicroSoft server 2008 R2. The install completed without error so I began implementing 'Best Practice' Crystal Reports. When attempting to schedule these reports within the BI 4.0 launch pad I ran into an issue.
After clicking 'Schedule' the IE browser freezes with the schedule options available to be seen but not interact with and the loading pinwheel frozen in the center of the screen.
I am running IE9 but I have run both IE8 and IE9 on other systems without fail so I don't think that's the issue. I've also tried resizing the APS to allow more RAM to the platform processes as well as split the services into separate servers all without success.
The browser also freezes when I attempt to click the 'Preferences' button on the launch pad home page, but I can open the Web Intelligence Application with no problems.
This is a particularly frustrating issue since I can navigate within the CMC with excellent response time from the system. The rest of the launch pad is as reponsive as the CMC. I can navigate in and out of folders fine, but when I try any command by right-clicking on a report
If anyone has any suggestions on what could be causing the browser to freeze during these transactions I would greatly appreciate it. Iu2019ve tried to run a Repair on the Edge series application and I would like to avoid a complete re-install.

Only IE8 is supported, how about another browser like Firefox on same machine. No need to re-install, you can try to undeploy -> redeploy the web app using WDeploy but it seems to be machine specific.

TS3212 after downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my windows freezes when attempting to gain access to itunes store. How do i Fix?

After downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my computer freezes when i attempt access into itunes store. How can I fix this problem?

Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

D'weaver:Access Denied when attempting to save files-HELP!

This is driving me nuts. Here are some specs:
-Using Dreamweaver CS3
-I am logging in as administrator on IIS6
-Been using a network mapped directory to accesss files (always worked before)
-Tried setting up RDS (get error <h1>Bad Request (Hostname invalid)</h2>
-Went back to using network mapped directory now I get "Access Denied" error message
-Checked access permissions in wwwroot directory on server and all set to "Administrator (Full) Permissions
Questions
1) Does Dreamweaver reset permissions on files when RDS setup is attempted?
2) If so-how do I reverse this?
3) Does RDS create changes in the Windows Registry that I need to remove?
Really need help as my production schedule is seriously falling behind. I work for myself and ANY work I get right now is keeping me in my house.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Me too..!
are getting the access denied message when trying to save files in DW. Also the file in gone...
But only on some files.
Has anyone come up with a solution or workaround? It's making us crazy and slowing down our work significantly.

Muse freezes when attempting to Export to HTML...

Hello,
I'm currently working on a photographer's website, with over 1000 pages. Every time I try and export to html the program freezes when at about 78% completed exporting. It also happens when I try to publish to the businesscatalyst temporary site.
Anyone know, or have a guess at the problem?
Thanks!

Sorry for the slow reply. Thank you for sending your file. (I was on vacation for a few days.)
At ~1.5Gb and 978 pages, yours is the largest .muse file I've seen to date.
Muse is currently not a great tool for the site you're creating. The shear size of your site is beyond what Muse can work with in a single .muse file.
Your site is best suited to a Content Management System where a small set of template pages are married with a database of items, products, or in your case, animal species. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any Content Management Systems that provide a no coding WYSIWYG solution to website creation. I'm confident Muse will eventually grow to enable database-drive website creation without coding, but we're not there yet.
If using a CMS and a developer and/or coding a site is not an option, then you could get to the end result I think you're looking for with the current Muse, but it will be labor intensive to create and maintain.
The basic idea would be to view your website as a set of smaller microsites (all hosted under the same domain name yourbiz.com). Each microsite would be uploaded to a separate directory/folder on your hosting. Perhaps there would be a folder (and thus a .muse file) for birds-a-d and another for birds-e-h, etc. You would manually create URL hyperlinks to link from a top-level microsite with the home page and major category navigation pages to specific pages within the microsites. And manually create URL links from the microsites back to the top-level microsite.
Strictly speaking there is no specific page count, image count or other complexity limit within Muse. But as the total size and complexity of a .muse file increases, the performance of Muse will degrade. Targeting a page count of 50-100 pages per .muse file (assuming low to moderate complexity per page, as you currently have) should provide reasonable performance and room for growth in each .muse file.
We're actively working on major changes that will eliminate some of the memory constraints Muse currently has and enable us to take alternative approaches to improving performance of large sites. But it will be some time before the fruits of our labors result in Muse being the best tool for creating and maintaining a website like yours.

Itunes Freezes when attempting to Burn CD's

My itunes freezes when I attempt to burn CD's. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes with no change. I have attempted to update CD/DVD burner drivers. No luck any advice?

I just used Nero to burn cds as opposed to iTunes.

FCPX freezes when attempting to import media

Hello,
I'm having trouble when attempting to import media to FCPX in that it won't even open up the browswer window to select files - it just hangs and I have to force quit. I have the latest version of FCPX and have used this previously without issue. I have tried deleting the programme and downloading a new version and re installing it. I am running a 2010 imac 2.93 i7 with 12 gig of ram. Any ideas as to what I can try to get around this?
Many thanks,
Ben

Hi Russ,
Yes all the latest versions.
Funily enough I had just deleted pref files after viewing another thread - no joy.
All media files are unavailable because it won't let me explore to find any.
I jave just dragged in a file to the timeline and that has imported. I am trying to edit C100 AVCHD files so work around so far is to import to imovie and then export as MP4s and drag into FCPX - not ideal at all but at least I can do some work.
Many thanks,
Ben

Logic freezes when attempting to bounce.

Logic is freezing when I attempt to bounce one of my projects, a music sequence using VSL sampled instruments. It doesn't even give me the bounce options window, but starts "thinking" (pinwheel, big CPU spike) as soon as I select "Bounce" from the menu, and remains unresponsive until I force quit.
It seems possible that this one project was somehow corrupted, but everything except the "Bounce" feature still works fine, which is rather bizarre.
It also seems possible that this is a result of the 8.0.2 update (since I had bounced this project with no trouble before the update), but of course all my other projects are fine as far as I know...
Ideas?
--Conor

I'm having that same issue today in a large piece (first half of an opera) using vienna ensemble.
I've already rebuilt the entire piece once, due to problems transferring the piece from logic 7 to logic 8. The thought of another rebuild.....
Bought a new 8 core machine to do this piece, now using logic 8.0.2 with os 10.5.2.
I've been a logic / notator user for the past 20 years. I used to love using logic-- great program -relatively bug free. But logic 8 is so full of problems it makes you crazy. If there was a serious altenative I'd be looking at it....

JDEV TP3 freezes when editing big .jspx files

Hi,
I have mainly worked with small files in JDEV TP3. At the moment I am testing the ADF Faces Rich table component. I have a huge table, the markup is over 700 lines long and when I edit this file JDeveloper freezes for several seconds, repeatedly. This occurs when I edit the file. Normal text input, copy and paste, selecting.
I tried to run JDeveloper with JDK 1.5 and 1.6.4. No difference. When I close and open the program. No difference. On all the other - smaller files < 100 lines everything works fine.

Hi,
any chance you can provide a testcase ?

I Mac intel freezes when attempting to dial.

Need to know the cause of i mac crashing or freezing when I try to connect to internet via dial up. Does the same when I go to network preferences and check on settings using the assistant. Computer works fine otherwise. I may be the cause of this problem as I was moving files and folders from my i book via firewire and migration app. This problem came about right after the transfer.

It could be the modem or the transfer of the files.
I suggest you look at other posts in the iMac Networking forum for ideas as I don't know what to suggest. They may be able to tell you which preference file to delete so that you use a new one rather than one that was transferred.
In System Preferences have you made sure in the Network area that the right model of Apple Modem is selected?
