IMOVIE does not respond when it launches

When I launch IMOVIE it freezes. It states its trying to launch thumbnails movies.

Hi
Very often this is due to errors in iPhoto library as iMovie doesn't move or copy any photos or audio files but just point's to where they are stored and if this link is broken it will behave as described.
Medicine:
• YOU NEED LOT's of TIME to do this. (6 - 12 hours not uncommon at all)
Start iPhoto - BUT KEEP alt-key and cmd-key down during up-start
Now You get a list of choices
Select all of them and let Your Mac be - No Internet, no other program running in background - AND KEEP IT connected to Mains as batteries may run down if not connected giving even more problems ! !
Then when done - Try iMovie again - Now it should find the photos and not just the Thumbnails.
Yours Bengt W

Lots of programs does not respond, when opened

Lots of programs does not respond, when they are opened, Apple store, Mail, Photo Booth and VideoConverterPro and some moor.
To close, I have to click on finder first. What to do ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My screen seems to have frozen and does not respond when I touch. I tried to shut it off and when the red slider comes up, it does not let me slide it off.

My ipad screen seems to have frozen. I tried to turn it off and the red slider does not respond when I slide it. What can I do?

Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting. Let it do that and see if you're unfrozen.

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

I have a strip on the touchpad that does not respond when I touch it. Is there anything I can do?

I have a strip from top of the pad to the bottom where it does not respond to touch. It makes it difficult to type or draw on my iPad. Is there anything I can do?

You can try this - it will not hurt - not sure if it will help.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I-Photo does not respond when attempt to print

When I attempt to print from I-Photo my Mac Book Pro (OS X Yosemite) the app locks up (won't respond). Printer HP Photosmart 7520, wireless. Can print other docs. Recently worked with HP on the printer because would not reconnect when when to sleep mode but that has been fixed. Any suggestions?

The Application and the Library are two different things. SO, no, but you should always make a back up before doing this kind of thing:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Itunes is not responding when I launch it

When I launch itunes, it refuses to load and all it shows is a non-responding coverflow. I can't sync my ipod either, because itunes just freezes while loading and I have to kill it. I can't reinstall it because I don't have the admin password, and it's really annoying. I have itunes 10.4

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Automator - Run Shell Script - Does not return when script launches firefox

Automator does not work the same on my MacBooks as my Mac mini! Both are latest Snow Leopard. I'm trying to automatically setup my MacBook after it decides if I'm at work, or elsewhere.
The Automator Action "Run Shell Script" (Shell: /usr/bin/perl) does NOT return control when attempting to launch Firefox:
system("/Application/Firefix.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -private news.google.com &");
Note: the ampersand should cause Firefox to start as a background process.
It only returns control after I close Firefox. I have a "Show Growl Notification" as the second action, so I know that the first action has not completed. Odd thing is that this works on my Mac mini. I also noticed that another difference: on my MacBook status is displayed in the top toolbar when the Automator application is running.
Any ideas?

Thanks, it worked. I forgot about stderr and stdin.
I'm using Perl as it is part of a bigger script. I can quickly and easily figure out if I am at work where my MacBook is plugged into a network:
my $ethernet = qx(ifconfig en0) =~ m{status:.active}xms;
if ($ethernet) {
# setup stuff for work environment
} else {
# setup stuff for mobile environment
}
