IMovie 11 freezing looking for old (trashed) computer doing iphoto import?

Odd problem with my new iMovie. When I try to run it and it goes through the update of files from iPhoto, it freezes and says that the network connection with an old desktop computer we used to have is broken. Then it just reappears and will never complete the iphoto transfer. I have changed iphoto libraries to a new one and that solved the problem, but we have a ton of movies in our iphoto library that I need in imovie. Does anyone know how to disassociate iphoto library from an old computer? In iphoto there are no issues with looking for the old computer, and I don't think we ever had them synced to begin with. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
I have the same problem on my mid 2012 MBP retina 15 inch. For example, when i am importing from facetime in final cut, sometimes it records in 720HD @ 24fps, and sometimes in non-HD @ 17fps.
Everything is up to date, i have tried recording from photobooth and quicktime, and the issue remains the same.

    Other weirdness to report: my neighbor upstairs appears to have a Linksys router network on channel 6. My AEBS is on channel 1 so there shouldn't be interference... but according to iStumbler sometimes the signal leaps to 64000 (keep in mind my own Airport never tops 60)! Is that potentially the problem?
    Might it be possible that your neighbor just acquired a 802.11n (pre-N) wireless router recently?
    802.11n effectively increases capacity by doubling the number of Wi-Fi radios and increasing the number of antennas used to push signals out of those radios. 802.11n splits a data frame into multiple pieces. It then transmits these pieces in parallel using multiple radios that are attached to multiple antennas. These antennas blast out signals from virtually the same vantage point – scattering the signals everywhere.

    Even if he did not, and you are on good terms, you might want to ask if he can temporarily turn off his wireless, or, at least, reduce the signal strength to see if that will help in your situation.

  • I'm looking for a new computer.

    I'm looking for a new computer. one that can handle games well. I'm not sure if I should get a destop or a laptop. I like the facial reconzation and at least 4 usb ports, and the numbers on the right side. I like this one alot:

    If you have a destop or laptop to sugest it must meet these standards for me:
    more than 5 usb ports
    hdmi 
    500 or more giggz 
    windows 7

    @sweetpea79;
      There is a few problems with your post.
    Your claim that the asus laptops will "play any game out there that is compatible" is not very helpful.  Many games will *NOT* be compatible with either of those laptops.  Stating they will "play any game out there that is compatible" is meaningless.   That exact statement applies to every computer sold, latop, desktop, or netbook. 
    Your claim that "desktops are boat anchors" that are "not very protable" are humorous at best.  When it comes to gaming and game compatibility, a desktop will always be a better choice than a laptop.
    Your anti-virus recommendation is not very useful.  There are other anti-virus products on the market that are tested to be better than Trend Micro.  No solution will give perfedct protection.  To claim that all other anti-virus solutions will leave the user unprotected is completely false.
    You claim you were "hacked" because your "cursor moved" without you moving it, when this phenomenon is a know issue with the Microsoft audio control bar; it is enabled by default and can cause the issue you describe with certain sound cards.
    Your claim that Norton allowed you to be infected is also misleading.  Chances are whatever infection you had would not have been caught by Trend Micro, either.  FWIW, Norton has won far more editor choice awards and top ratings from reviewers than Trend Micro.  I am not arguing which is better...just stating a fact.
    In short, although you are a fan of Asus laptops and Trend Micro, it does not mean either is the best choice for the OP.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • What is the best product for music and gaming? I'm looking for an apple COMPUTER. Not iPod etc.

    Hi! I am looking for an apple computer that would be good for gaming and music, movies etc. So I would like some input on some different products I'd be able to buy? The types of games I play are downloaded also. Any help would be good! Thank YOU!
    P.S
        I'm looking for preferably a laptop.

    while the Air can play many games fine, it is not an idealized gaming machine.
    examine a macbook Pro model at your local Apple store for evaluation if you plan on much gaming.

  • Why tomcat is still looking for old jar files?

    Please help me it is a very serious problem.
    I updated one of the jar files used by the project. I am using a new method that is available only in the new library. I removed the old jar files in my local system, and everything worked fine. Then I commit those files to the subversion, which is in the testing server, and then I created the war file. The war is successfully created, then I deployed to the tomcat. But, now there is an error in the portion I am using the method that is only available in the new jar files.
    One of the error when I go to that portion is:
    1. No Such Method Exists
    The other errors on log files are:
    1.
    WARNING: Failed to open JAR
    java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory
    2.
    validateJarFile(tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/j2ee.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spe
    c 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class
    Please help me, I have tried every other way to solve this. I have tried removing all the old jar files there were, and replacing with the new one. I have tried creating a war file and ftping to the testing server.
    I problem is still there and it is because the testing server's tomcat is still looking for old jar files. I used Netbeans and add jar files as usual method.

    Check the contents of your WAR file that you are deploying on the testing server to see if it contains the JAR that you can't find.
    More than likely you are building your WAR file and your new JAR file is not being included in the build.

  • Looking for A New Computer

    Hey all,
    Like the subject says, I'm in the market for a new desktop machine but after spending several days looking at various sites, I think I'm more confused than informed. So if anyone who knows a bit about computers could give me a hand, I'd really appreciate it.
    Here's what I'm looking for:
    My price range is around $1000-$1500. Ideally I'd like to stick more in the lower range but I'm willing to go even higher if it's for a good machine.
    I'm a digital artists so I run some decently heavy duty applications like photoshop, illustrator, poser, etc.
    I do most of my work with a tablet so I need something that doesn't lag or freeze up. (This is very important.)
    I tend to run a lot of programs at the same time so something with a lot of memory and a fast processor would be ideal.
    I create big files so a large amount of storage space would be good as well, maybe even an extra hardrive specifically just for art files.
    An awesome video card.
    I don't play games very often but something that plays games wells and handles 3D would be nice too.
    No Macs please. I had to use those at school and I'm just not a fan.
    A fair number of USB ports.
    Something I can update would be nice. I've had the same computer for the past 6 years so I like being able to replace parts whenever the situation    calls for it.
    I think those are the most important things so to recap:
    $1000-$1500 Price range
    Can handle big/multiple programs
    A lot of memory
    Fast processor
    A lot of storage space
    Good graphics card
    Plays video games decently
    No Macs
    Extra USBs
    Updatable
    Sorry if that's a a lot of information, but I just wanted to make sure I gave as much as possible. If there's anything I didn't answer, please let me know. And thanks in advance, I just want to make sure that if I spend the money, it's for a worth while machine.
    Solved!

  • New iMac looks for old Mac tower

    I purchased a new iMac recently and used Migration Assistant to move my Documents folder over from my old G5 Tower. To the best of my memory, I did not use Migration Assistant to move system files or applications over to the iMac.
    Once I thought I had everything configured just right, 3 things occured where the new iMac was looking for the old G5 Tower:
    (1) at startup, a dialog twice appeared, indicating that the old G5 could not be found. I used the Accounts/Log In Items to disable start up items that were "unidentified." First problem solved.
    (2) When I try to print, the iMac looks for my old G5 when I first try to access a pulldown menu in the print dialog window, and after quite awhile an alert message appears indicating that the G5 server is unavailable. I've tried deleting all installed printers and then reinstalling them, to no avail.
    (3) In my folder windows, under the Places list, there is a favorite folder that is repeated twice, one that links to the "04_FT" folder on the new iMac, and an identically named item that does not function as a link (but a folder with this name did live on the old G5) and I'm unable to remove it from the list. When I Control click on it, the only option I get is to "Open Sidebar Preferences."
    I suspect that both (2) and (3) are similar "ghost" references back to the old G5, but I don't know how to remove them.
    I would very much appreciate any help or suggestions that the iMac community might have to offer.

    I would recommend starting over and instead of using Migration Assistant this time using Setup Assistant. They are cousins, similar but different. First SA is more reliable and second it will not create a second user account. Because you are migrating from a PPC machine I would migrate everything EXCEPT applications. You should manually install your apps, this will give you the opportunity to udate the ones that need it and I'm sure there are many. You may even apps that won't run on Intel based machines so why migrate them at all? You can use the Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance...." You can either restore from your old machine or from one of it's backups. I think you'll see it's a pretty clean process, something you passed over (I'm not sure why) when  you turned on the new iMac for the first time.

  • Need an app to edit and sign word documents (sign with stylus)! Notability let's me sign but doesn't pull up letter head, quickofficepro let's me edit but not sign. Looking for an app that does both

    I am looking for an app where I can edit word documents as well as sign them.  I am a physical therapist whose looking to cut down on paper work.  Someone types my evaluations and then we print them out for me to edit by hand and then they go back and make the corrections on the computer then w print them and sign them to send off.  Recently I have begun using apps where I can pull up the document and edit it thru quickofficepro or through cloudon, but I cannot sign them using a stylus pen.  I also have notability which I can use to sign the documents, but it doesn't save the document as a doc, it's either a PDF or rtf. Also, in notability, it doesn't pull up the letter head for our company which is a template with our logo on it.  So I need an app where I can both edit and sign my documents by hand using a stylus.  If someone could provide me with any relevant information I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you for your time.

  • It it possible to look for a page that does not contain a string?

    Is it possible in the search feature in Dreamweaver CS3 to find all pages that do NOT contain a specific string?

    I don't think so, at least not directly. I could be wrong, Regular Expressions can be pretty powerful, I'm not sure how well they're implemented in CS3 though: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/regular_expressions_pt1.edu.html
    Maybe you could do a find/replace of that specific string, with itself.
    All of the files that have it would be updated without actually changing the code.
    The Date Modified for the file would change though.
    The files without the string of info you are looking for would have the old modification date.

  • Since lion upgrade iMac keeps looking for old server

    Hi,
    I have a NAS prior to Lion upgrade which was working perfectly. Now with the Lion upgrade the NAS (Sitecom) ther were some issues. I have reinstalled the NAs and had given it a new name. I can find the NAs now so thats not a problem.
    But almost every hour I get 2 warning that he can not find the "old NAS", it really start annoying me and I've looked everywhere and I don't even find any link (Finder) towards it so I don't know what to do to get rid of this message, receiving it every hour twice really start getting on my nerves.
    Sorry for th Dutch, but the message translates;
    A problem has occured with connecting to the server 'VanBeeckNAS'
    The server doesn't exist or is currently not available. Check the servername or the IP-address of the server, ...
    Any help is highly appreciated.

    Same problem since lion. Not only can I not back up to the server it keeps looking for it several times on start up. Real annoying.
