Go to the Apple Utility called Activity Monitor.
Find iMovie and click once to highlight that row.
Click the Stop Process stop sign button on the top left.
That should do it.

  • I clicked on Firefox's "save password" on a blogsite, now I can't "comment" on that site, I'm caught in a loop, keep getting logged out of that site when I try to comment, but not a problem when I try Explorer.

    When I navigate to the page to view comments and leave a comment myself, the comments appear but the link to leave a comment is missing, and my username and password is pre-populated in those fields (presumable by the Firefox "save password" program)on that "comment" page. When I click "submit" to log in again, I am logged in but redirected back to the front page. When I click on the page that allows me to leave a comment, I get kicked out again. I'm caught in a loop.
    I do not have this problem when I exit Firefox and open Internet Explorer and go to that blog site, although the username and password fields are automatically populated when I type the first digit of my username, probably because Firefox is still operating in the background on my computer.
    I tried clearing two hours of recent history, as that was the timeline when I clicked on "Save Password" from the pop up box, but it didn't help.

  • Hello. I have updated my iphone 4 to ios7 after doing a backup to itunes. I am caught in a loop of being asked to 'restore from backup' as part of setup and that restore failing because the phone already has it's content I believe. Please help if you can.

    Hi. I have an iphone 4 that I have just installed ios7 onto. I had backed up the phone prior.
    After the software install the phone rebooted and showed the 'Hello' setup. I am stuck because as part of the setup it asks me to 'restore from backup via itunes". I dont understand why i need to do this as I thought the ios7 install procedure would restore the phone with it's content.
    I tried to restore from backup but it says I cant because there is not enough space on the phone. If I connect the phone to itunes, it shows that the phone has all my content, especially since iphoto launches and I can see all the photos it wants to download to iphoto off the phone.
    I am caught in a loop. My phone has it's content, but the startup procedure on the phone will not let me progress until I have restored from backup via itunes. But it cant because the phone has no space!!
    The only other option it gives is 'Set up as new phone".
    Can anyone help please. Thanks.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • Caught in a loop of Apple ID dialog boxes!

    I'm trying to buy stuff on the iTunes store and I get caught in a loop of dialog boxes asking me for my Apple ID. I enter my Apple ID, but it just results in a new dialog box. The sequence of dialog boxes was the following:
    - Sign in to the iTunes store.
    - iCloud session has expired. Please sign in.
    - Sign in to the iTunes store.
    - Verification is required. Click ok, then verify payment information.
    - iCloud session has expired.
    - Sign in to view billing information.
    - Sign in to the iTunes store.
    - Verification is required. Click ok, then verify payment information.
    - Sign in to the iTunes store.
    - Sign in the view billing information.
    - iCloud session has expired.
    etc. etc. etc.
    How do I fix this? Help would be appreciated. Thanks very much.
    Nick.

    Hello Albini11,
    It may help to sign out of the iTunes Store, then sign back in.
    In iTunes, choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
    Sign in or out of the iTunes Store

  • Before I dispose of my imac caught in password loop

    Before I dipose of my imac I'm trying to uninstall 10.4 to erase my data (I have the install disk in the computer) but I'm caught in password loop. I am hoping that when I restart while pressing the "C" key that I will be offered an option to uninstall but instead I am asking to enter my password. When I enter it the computer restarts and takes me straight back to the password prompt again. I hope that someone can help!

    You may have a firmware password.  The prevents booting from a cd.
    Maybe your are getting the firmware password?  Do you see this image?

  • When Syncing top of screen freezes and gets caught in a loop

    I have a PowerBook G4. I just installed the new Leopard. Ran all the available updates and so far there are a few bugs that I can't fix. I need some help please.
    1. When syncing to mobileMe, the computer gets caught in a loop and the round arrows at the top right of the screen never stops spinning. Also, when you bring the pointer to the top of the page, it seems frozen and the wheel starts. The time has also frozen.
    2. When syncing to iTunes with my iPhone, it also gets stuck in a loop.
    I'm assuming that there is something going on with MobileMe or with syncing. I can't find anything on this. Can anyone shed some light.

    Would like to add one more thing. When I try to repair permissions it also goes in a loop and never repairs anything. I'm stumped on this.

  • IDVD will not burn revised iMovie; burns old iMovie instead

    I am making a graduation video. After burning iMovie called Monica Graduation 2009, I decided it was too long and made a new project entitled Monica Graduation 2009 Revisited. They are two separate projects, the newer one a shorter version. After selecting the correct revisited version and publishing it to the browser media (Share > Media Browser > Large), and opening iDVD and selecting the correct media, it burns the original and not the revised version. I am sure the revisited version was published to the media browser and I am selecting the correct media. In addition, though I can see it encoding the theme at the beginning of the burning process, the theme does not end up on the DVD. It starts playing without starting with the theme. Help !

    I did not create a new DVD project for the new version so iDVD burned the original version

  • Notebook caught in infinite loop, then gives a Hard Drive Short DST check error in Bios

    My laptop shut off unexpectedly last week. It got caught in an infinite loop when trying to restart. I was able to access bios and run a system check. I received Failure ID Q0821A-7017lt-xd7wwk-60xx03. I cannot get the computer to start. Please advise.

    1. This is a hardware issue and the Hard Drive is faulty
    2. You cannot recover this failure ID unless you replace the Hard drive
    Detailed Explanation:
    Whenever you get a message stating that the Short DST Check error with 24 Digit Failure ID "Q0821A-7017LT-XD7WWK-60XX03" that indicates that the Hard Disk Drive requires a replacement to resolve the issue
    Could be due to Application or driver conflicts, virus issues, file corruptions due to incompatible applications, improper shutdowns, update failures due to conflicts, sudden power surges, if notebook is dropped etc..
    HP will provide a replacement Hard Disk Drive if the Notebook warranty is Active, If not you need buy a SATA Hard Disk Drive from a retail shop nearby
    Please make sure you are getting at least equal capacity as the original one in order to use Recovery Disks. If you need you can buy a larger, but not smaller capacity Hard Disk Drive. For example if you have a 500GB Hard Disk Drive you can upgrade it to 750GB Hard Disk Drive but not 320GB Hard Disk Drive
    Please try the below shown troubleshooting steps once:
    Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the AC/Power Adapter
    Step 02. Press and hold the Power button for more than 30 Seconds
    Step 03. Plug in the AC/Power Adapter (leave the Battery out for now)
    Step 04. Press the Power button and check if the Unit works normal
    If the above mentioned steps does not help, then you can try reseating the Hard Drive on your Notebook
    If the issue persists again please Contact HP if your HP Notebook is under warranty, HP would replace the Hard Disk Drive and provide you a Recovery media to restore factory operating system after replacement (if you've not yet created Recovery Discs/USB Media)
    Note: Back up all the personal data to an external drive if it's possible. Otherwise you could connect the failed HDD via SATA to USB adapter with another PC or same PC after replacement of HDD & re-installation of OS and try copying /recovering the files.

  • Imovie burn high quality??

    Hi,
    I've exported an iDVD 720p movie to my hard drive.  I found an old version of iDVD and have been able to get it on the comp and play around.  The challenge is, any time I try to burn a higher quality version (the video file is 10GB) to a dual layer DVD to maintain as much quality as possible, iDVD gives me an encoding error.  I've also tried Roxio Toast - I can get it to burn to dual layer DVD, but it's so grainy it's terrible - worse than pulling it up on Youtube.  On the mac, the video is beautiful.  Crisp, good colors. 
    I'm needing suggestions.  What I'm needing to do is very basic and I'm very good with computers, but this is frustrating not only me, but my parents, who purchased the computer for their business to be able to archive high quality recordings of their shows.  It's been a nightmare telling them that the $1,200 computer they bought can't seem to do this VERY BASIC task. 
    We have an Apple iMac purchased in May 2013 - so as new as can be basically.  Standard iMac, no upgrades.
    HELP?!?!

    DVDs are by standards just 720x480 in resolution… about a quarter of your actual footage.
    And playback a DVD 'full screen' on an iMac zooms-in again, blowing up the few pixels, about by factor 6x.
    keep this in mind, when judging 'quality'.-
    To get max possible quality, stay under 60min of content on SL dvd-r, 120min on DL dvd-r
    Putting <60min on DL has no effect, just draining your wallet …
    In iMovie, choose Export using Quicktime, in the many options, select AppleIntermediateCodec, which will export the internal timeline of your project without any un-neccessary transcoding. File is huge, don't worry, it's all about length. not size.
    Drag resulting mov into iDVD. Works perfectly here…
    Worked, to be precise. Haven't done a disk for years now

  • Shimmering once iMovie burned using iDVD

    Hi - I have created a presentation (both scanned photos and video clips) in iMovie 6 and burned it using iDVD. The presentation looks great on iMovie, but after I've burned it and watched it on my DVD, there seems to be a "shimmering" effect on some of the photos. Originally I thought it was something to do with the way I scanned the photos. But when I attempted burning it subsequent times, a different set of photos seemed to have developed the shimmering effect. For example, on the first DVD, clips #50-75 had shimmering and in the second DVD, it was clips #60-78 (the shimmering seems to be moving along later in the presentation). Any suggestions on what I have to do to avoid this? Many thanks....

    Hi - thanks for the suggested reading. I'm prepared to save the clips at a smaller resolution (640x480) but I'm still confused - why does the "shimmering" effect strike different clips at different times when I burn it on iDVD? If an image would be prone to "shimmering" then shouldn't the effect show up each time the project is burned? Conversely, if it burned properly once before, why would it begin to "shimmer" when the project is burned a second time?

  • Imovie burn to idvd

    everytime i share it the idvd software wants to create a theme. can i do this without a theme?
    If by this you are asking if you can create an "Auto play upon insertion" DVD, then the answer is "Yes." Simply switch to the iDVD "Map" window and drop you slideshow movie to the start "box" as indicated by the instructions.

  • IMovie Burn to DVD-

    I have been creating an iMovie and I burned it by using iMovie buttons. The iDVD opened and processed (burned) the iMovie but at the very end it stopped and reported an “erro” another time it just crashed, ejecting the CD. I noticed that the size of the iMovie file was 7 gigs. I have allot of clips (most unused) associated with this movie.
    I am quessing the size of file ( 7 gig) and CD 4 gig capacity is the problem. But I don’t have that much in use in the actual file. Any help appreciated.

    Hi
    You know that burning a DVD can result in one of two different types
    - Data-DVD (as when burned from DeskTop/Finder) - Will never play on any DVD-Video-player)
    - Video-DVD (as the movies one buy on DVD)
    To make the last sort - You MUST use a Video-DVD Authoring program - to get right file format AND THE SPECIFIC Video-DVD Structure.
    iDVD is the best ever done for the normal user and on Mac-platform.
    But there are others from Expensive to free (but most of these as BAD to Worse - no they usually do not deliver any nice results (un-sharp and un-evenly playback)
    So Please tell
    - What version of iMovie do You use
    - Mac OS version
    - In what format is original material (Video-CODECs, photo and audio file formats)
    - What Video-DVD Authoring program You use
    - Brand of DVD used
    - Type of DVD used
    - BURN SPEED - can it be set down - I do as slow possibly
    - Free Space on Boot Hard Disk (the start up Mac OS one)
    Yours Bengt W
