IMovie freezes at launch

Last night iMovie asked me to rebuild my thumbnails as I had some new videos, I did, although I never saw if it completed or not, it appeared to be progressing fine. This AM it is freezing up at launch, I cannot get past a few seconds (half a spin of the "wheel." No thumbnails show up. I don't use iMovie often, not sure if I have '07 or '08, but I had a project to do today, of course. TIA.

IMovie '11 freezes on launch trying to upgrade library

Hi everyone,
I recently bought iLife '11.
I launched iMovie '11 but it froze on the first launch, trying to upgrade the "iPhoto movie library" from my '09 library.
I restarted my mac several times, and upgraded to iMovie 9.0.1, but I still have the same issue. iMovie freezes every time, I always end up force-quitting it after a few hours.
I have a 3 years old iMac with snow leopard (10.6.6)
Thanks for the help!

I have the same exact problem!!! I cannot use the program! And there is no software update available.
What can we do? At this point iMovie is unusable. I have tried deleting all plist files to no avail.
Software update please?
Running MacPro quad core 2.8 w Snow Leopard 10.6.5

Imovie freezes osx 10.9.3 & how to import AVCHD files?

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
1. imovie freezes:
Since a few days, imovie freezes when being launched.
I do not know the version I have and I do not think I can find out as ... imovie crashes before it even opens.
I have a macbook pro and got it in May 2014, so the imovie should be not older than whatever version was current back then.
I am not sure when it exactly started crashing, the first time I noticed it was last week when trying to import AVCHD clips from a camera. imovie would not launch so I used quicktime instead.
This brings me to my second question
2. how can I access AVCHD files to use in imovie?
Thanks

I do not have a time machine file available.
I believe the issue started after I imported AVCHD files from a camera by using quicktime since imovie did not let me do it.
After that, it has been crashing ever since.
I found the suggestion to delete all quicktime files in library-quicktime except AppleIntermediateCodec.component and AppleMPEG2Codec.component, but those were actually the only 2 files in there.
I also found the suggestion to delete all com.apple.imovie files in library-preferences, but there are no .imovie files in there at all.

TS1717 iTunes will not start on my PC, I have been through all the suggested "iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues" to no avail. Please help

Bridge CS6 64-bit and 32-bit FREEZE on Launch

Now I am having problems with Bridge CS6 again. Both 64-bit and 32-bit suddenly have the behavior of freezing on launch. I get the application window open but no icons populate and I can't do anything in the interface. Not even close the application. I have to use Windows Task Manager to quit the application forcibly.
Not sure what's going on. I went to the start menu and hit Ctrl+Bridge 64-bit to give me the options to reset preferences, dump the cache, and one other option that I also checkmarked. Still no dice.
Can anyone help me out before Adobe Customer Support becomes available in 4 hours?

While searching for a set of files on my computer using traditional search in the gui i discovered that the indexing functionality of windows was turned off. I tried to turn it on and search again but kept getting the error that indexing was turned off. I went to the event viewer and saw hundreds of events related to this error. I thought by suspicion that there might be a correlation between this windows malfunction and adobe bridge not functioning properly. After finding an appropriate solution to reset the search functionality of Windows known as 1) Windows Search and also as 2) Indexing, I tried to run Bridge again and now it works just fine. So the solution to the Bridge problem was to fix Windows Search and also fix Indexing of files.

My iTunes on Windows 7 opens just once. If I close it and try to reopen, it won't open again. I have alreadytried solutions from the article "iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues". Please help.

HI! My itunes on windows 7 opens once. If i close it, then it will not open again. I then need to turn computer off and back on and it will open again, once. I have tried troubleshooting with the article 'unexpected quits, freezes or launch problems' but that did not help. I have also tried disabling the Bonjour Service. No change either. Please advise. Thanks.

Titles Make iMovie Freeze

I'm having a problem with adding Titles. Everytime I click on the Titles button iMovie freezes. I cannot add titles at all. Transitions, Video FX etc. work great, but for some reason every time I try to add a title, iMovie will freeze. I have plenty of hardrive space. I dont get it. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex
There can be so much:
• low free space on internal hard disk gets the Mac to be spooky.
< 5Gb and even Mac OS alone get's into trouble
5-10Gb might work but slow and unstable
25Gb my set up
• Tidying up helps from time to time. I would.
- delete the iMovie pref file
- run: Repair permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
- start from another hard disk or CD/DVD then
run: Repair hard disk (Apple Disk Util tool)
- start a new account and log into this and re-try.
• Did You add some "smart nice plug-ins" - move them out and see if
iMovie starts to behave.
To start with.
Ops ! YES Lennart nailed an important one too. Very so ! FONTS !!

Our converted eCourses often freeze when launched from our new 3rd party hosted LMS...

We have recently purchased a new externally hosted LMS system (Silkroad's GreenLight) and we have a 3rd party taking our older authorware courses (which are working) and updating/converting them using Adobe Captivate 5.5. Once these are done and uploaded into the LMS system, users are finding sporadic freezing at launch of the converted courses. In some cases we are using a Riverbed solution to compress content so that network performance is not an issue. With the various components involved in this situation. we are having a hard time troubleshooting and narrowing down the problem as it is so inconsistent. I noticed a blog http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/projects-published-captivate-5-lms.html suggesting a fix and we tried this with one user it worked with another it did not. Our environment consist of XP (and some Win7), Adobe Flash Player 10+, and IE8 or 9. Can anyone tell us what the proposed template fix described in the blog is actually doing? Or if you've experienced this problem and have another fix we could try? Any help is appreciated....Getting desperate. Thanks!

I believe the patches offered in that post were to address an issue that sometimes occurs with Resume Data bookmarking in certain LMSs.
If you are currently using Resume Data bookmarking, try disabling it by checking the box in LMS Customisation dialog to Never Send Resume Data. If that resolves your issue, you at least know what is causing it.
In cases where there are a large number of variables, the only way to diagnose the issue may be to remove as many variables as possible first. Then when you finally get to a stable version that does not misbehave, you then re-introduce the other components to find the one/s that re-introduce the issue.
So, in your case, you may need to look at how your developers are 'converting' the authorware content in Captivate. Make sure they recreate everything using Captivate components, and insert the images via the approved menus etc. I'd also temporarily avoid using this Riverbed compression solution until you have established the cause of your issue. It may be interferring with something.

IMovie freezes when importing AVCHD from Canon HF20

I've recently bought a *Canon HF20 AVCHD* Full HD camcorder, and am having a hard time importing the footage through iMovie '09. Here's exactly what happens:
1. I connect the USB to the back port of the iMac. The camera indicates a flashing USB symbol and nothing else happens. It doesn't mount the camera drive and iMovie doesn't detect the camera.
2. OK, so I connect the USB to a powered USB hub and it displays the correct message on the camera, mounts the camera drive and iMovie detects the camera is connected correctly.
3. I tell iMovie to import the footage. After a while, the estimated time left begins to increase up to hours long, and the progress bar eventually stops, and iMovie freezes, whith the colored spinning wheel as the cursor.
Each time I try to import the footage, iMovie freezes at different points.
Does anyone else have this problem importing AVCHD footage into iMovie '09 ?
Thanks in advance,
João Faraco

Well, judging from the deafening response, posting this question here is pretty useless.

SO to summarise:
Illustrator freezes on launch
Update not applicable so stuck at 16.0.0
No 3rd party plugins
All cache's cleared
Prefs reset
New account still has the issue (not permissions)
No known font issues - Tahoma&verdana etc
Ilustrator parts pulled back from timemachine when it was working fine but problem still there.
What the hell am I missing here?
As an added problem, I cannot use online activation due to our "security" so I am trying to avoid a complete re-install because it was a nightmare to sort last time - we have 6 machines to do - same issue.
Any takers please? The online "chat" help seams a little generic for this issue!!
I really need help
Really!
Really!
Thanks

Imovie freezes when i scroll over a project

I've been trying to create a project, and everything goes well until I scroll over my other projects in the iMovie library. I think the problem may be one of the projects, because as soon as it is visible on the computer screen, iMovie freezes and I need to force quit it. I have tried to access the projects through finder, but nothing comes up when I try. Help?

Try:
*Status-4-Evar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

ICal freezes on launch

My ical suddenly began freezing on launch; doesn't display to do items. All my info. is there, but I can't navigate. What to do?

See what error messages it is posting in the console log with Console.app. Force quit it and see does it produce a crash report - if it does, post it here.

IMovie freezing when importing videos

Hi I every time I open iMovie 11 (on Macbook Pro) I get a message, 'movie file can not be found' .I have tried searching for the movie, but when I find the movie, it does not let me click on it. When I cancel the search, iMovie freezes and then I have to force quitAny help would be much appreciated.

Hi
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a Codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

IMovie freezes when working with videos from iPhone

Whenever I open iMovie and click on a clip that was imported from my iPhone 4s iMovie freezes along with my Mac. However, when I use a clip form a normal camera, iMovie works flawlessly. Are there any ways to work around this issue? or is it just something I cant do?

Well it could be a few different things. Bad memory, a corrupted HD, a permissions problem, a bad video card, the list goes on. Check out
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/help/
for troubleshooting tips to try and isolate the problem.
swapping out memory chips, resetting the PRAM, and repairing permissions (in no particular order) would be the first thigs I'd try.
