IMovie '11 freezes while trying to generate iPhoto thumbnails

So I need to move videos from iPhoto to iMovie '11. iMovie said I had to generate thumbnails before I could do that so I pressed ok. The pop-up window shows "generating thumbnails Processing Event: iPhoto Videos Time Remaning: " the window said it would take a few minutes, but after two hours, there has been no progress made (at all) in the progress bar and there isn't even a number after time remaining. I've been trying to look up answers but no luck. It's like the application has frozen, but I don't get the spinning rainbow and the force quit pop-up doesn't indicate that there are any problems. I've already tried updating, force quitting(that is the only way I can quit), deleting com.apple.iMovie.plist and relaunching the program, shutting down my computer, and now I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any more trouble shooting tips?

Hi
iMovie is an Non Destructive Video Editing application - and works like this
as an example: in Project's there are NO movie at all - just a text document pointing to where video, photos and Audio is stored and HowTo play it (parts of it) into the Movie You are making.
So if raw material is moved or if Library documents got corrupted - iMovie get's lost and can't save it self.
MY GUESS - is that iPhoto Library file got mixed up one way or another. So by forcing iPhoto to sort this out - usually helps. And You do this by (TAKES LOT'S of time - 6 to 12 hours most common to me)
• Close all programs - and Mac till Turned OFF
• Connect Mac to Mains/Mains adaptor (AS THIS TAKES TIME)
• Start up Mac
• Start iPhoto - BUT KEEP - alt- and cmd-keys down during full up-start.
• SELECT All Options
• Let Your Mac be - till done - NO surfing or any other background processes
When done
• Start iMovie and see if it now finds all parts.
Yours Bengt W

IMovie 08 hangs while trying to import iPhoto movies at the start.

Hi guys,
When I open Imovie 08, it asks me to import iphoto movies. Then it stays there for ages and never ends importing those movies. I know I can just skip this process but I want to edit those videos from iPhoto.
I guess is some corrupted file it is trying to import what is causing this incident but I have no idea how to tell which is the "bad" file since iMovie doesn't give any information about it.
Any clues?
Thanks in advence

Hi,
I wouldn't say I have such a lot of movies in Iphoto but deffintely they are quite a few... anyway, I suspect it will never end because the timer gets bigger and bigger; and yes I left it running overnight with no luck.
Is there any way to see in which video is iMovie having the problem? The other workarround means having to backup and delete videos randomly until I find "the bad one".
Cheers.

Final cut pro x freezing while trying to background render. Won't budge.

Final cut pro x and my brand new computer is freezing while trying to background render. Help!!!

I can't give any specific advice but try these general FCP X trouble-shooting suggestions.
Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
2. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

OWB: Error while trying to Generate

I have a project defined in OWB 3i and everything was working fine till last week. Today while I am trying to
generate a mapping it is giving the following error
Locking error, unable to continue with generation.
Another wierd thing I noticed is, when you go to configure option for mappings, under operators the only option
available now is access specification. It does not show hints, partition etc at all.
All the mappings in this module got the same problems while mapping from other module in the same
project can be generated sucessfully. I am thinking this is an issue at module level. And validation happens fine
for these mappings.
I tried all the basic things like every one logged out and getting the repository data base and target
database bounced.
Has anyone encountered this before, please pass on any information which might help.

RoboHelp/RoboPDF freezes when trying to generate PDF printed documentation

Hi,
I am using RoboHelp HTML X5.0.2 build 801 with Win2k and Word
2000. Whenever I try to generate printed documentation in PDF
format RoboHelp freezes and doesn't respond until I kill the
program. I also tried first generating the printed documentation in
MS Word .doc format and then tried to generate the PDF from within
Word. RoboPDF kicks in this time and freezes along with MS Word.
Any ideas why this is happening?

It works on anything we throw at it. You could try the
supplied sample projects.
Have you tried creating a document directly in Word and
creating a PDF from that?
Where is you normal template stored? Locally?
Take a look at Snippet 33 on my site. You should be getting
an error message if that is the problem but it might be worth
checking the path anyway.

If that does not fix it, email me offline.

ITunes freezes while trying to import CD (spin wheel action)

Occassionally when I try to upload a CD into my iTunes library, it will get part way through and then suddenly freeze, displaying the ever annoying spin wheel. I can't figure out how to cancel the import or quit out of iTunes, eject the CD, etc. I have tried force quitting and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

By any chance, do you have an old copy of MusicMatch Jukebox installed on the PC?
(I've seen one case recently with similar symptoms occuring if the mmjb.exe process from the MusicMatch JukeBox was running while trying to do the import in iTunes.)

IMovie crashes at startup while trying to read iPhoto library

Hello,
Like many others here, iMovie 7.1 won't start up properly for me. I'm feeling a little frustrated because I bought iLife 08 quite a while back and one of the components I paid for doesn't work AT ALL. It didn't work in Tiger for me, and when I installed Leopard FRESH with nothing else but iLife it still didn't work.

Computer freezez while trying to import

Just today my computer is starting to freeze when I import songs from a CD using iTunes. I tried to run the CD diagnostic and it freezes it up during that as well. It was working perfectly fine and now it doesn't. I tried ripping from the same CD drive using Windows Media Player and it worked totally fine. I even checked the box in preferences that says: use error correction (under the import tab) and that doesn't even work. I'm really very frustrated because my computer never freezes up, ever. Until now. I can't even do anything I have to manually reset the computer.

I have the same problem. I have only just upgraded to an 80G iPod, it worked for a few weeks and now can't import any CDs (stopped working just over a week ago). I've removed the iTunes software (and QuickTime) and reinstalled, I've tried using an external USB CD drive in place of my internal drive and get the same symptoms. iTunes takes over a minute to open but appears OK. When I insert a CD the drive spins, I get the automatic pop up asking what I want to do with the CD and regardless of whether I close this window or choose import using iTunes, iTunes freezes. I originally suspected the Matshita drive but the external drive (Iomega Super DVD) has the same problem. The diagnostics don't work either unless I start them and then immediately insert the CD (see below). Is there anyone in Apple that can help with this? My iPod is now useless.

Freezing while trying to dial

Does anyone else have the problem where the phone will randomly choose not to dial either from favorites or directly from a contact or even the dial pad? I have to wait up to 10 minutes before the thing will allow me to dial again. It is up to date with the most recent software.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as this is nuts!

Verizon Techs should do more research before posting to threads.
I have the EXACT same problem with my Thunderbolt. It primarily happens right after ending a previous call, when you immediately attempt to make a call. While pulling the battery does quickly remedy the problem, where is the convenience of using the phone if you have to wait 5 minutes (exaggeration) for the phone to reboot or do this each time the dialer freezes. And in regards to clearing the cache, if it happened EVERY time I tried to make a call, I would be inclined to agree with that action. I never had this problem with Android 2.1, it's only been since the 2.2 update back in July. And I certainly hope it's not a problem once Verizon can figure out how to make 2.3 work.
This is my 4th HTC device dating back to Alltel. Verizon has not impressed me much since switching from Alltel. I am very close to giving them back the phone and getting an EVO at Sprint.
Current: HTC Thunderbolt
Previous: HTC Droid Eris/HTC Touch Pro/HTC PPC6800 (Alltel)

Computer freezing while trying to connect to usb by pc card on laptop

Hi, im trying to help a friend out who has problems with his ipod. he has a compaq laptop presario 2108us. he only has 2 usb slots in the back which are broken. the broken one somtimes works as far as connecting the ipod to the computer, but does not charge it. when it does connect, it transfers files fine while at the same time, doesnt charge. so to try to fix his usb problem, i bought the pc card with 2 usb. his laptop is capable of card slot type 1,2,and 3, and compatible with 16 bits. with the card, it works fine with a jumpdrive, recognizes everything. when i try to connect the ipod to it, it shows up in my computer, but not itunes, and after a couple minutes the computer totally freezes, mouse and everything, shortly after i manually dissconnect my ipod, the computer responds like normal again. we've tried 2 different brands of cards, ive done all the microsoft updates. and the pc card does work with the ipod withanother laptop, so its the computer. although i think that a system recovery might help, i just wanted to get some more information before i take that step, thanks.

Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

I have iphoto 5.0.4 My computer crashed while trying to quit iphoto and when I rebooted my albums and organized folders had all disapeared. All my photos are still there but how do I retrieve my folders and albums? I tried rebuilding the database

My computer crashed while quiting iphoto. When I rebooted my albums and folders had disappeared. How do I get them back? I tried rebuilding the database to no avail. I am using iphoto 5...
Thank you community!

Most simple solution: restore from your back up.
Other than that, try Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
