IMovie freezes when loading and won't load projects.

iMovie, when clicked from the applications menu, opens up but does not show any of the projects in the project library. It shows there are six projects, but does not show them. I can see all of the events and event files, but none of the projects. Whenever I run other applications on my MacBook Pro, or do not use it for about 45 mins to an hour, the projects eventually load. However, when I go to click on the project I want to open, the pinwheel shows and it appears to be loading, but takes almost another 45 mins to an hour for it to open the specified project. Once I've finally gotten the project open, I can see all of my pictures and videos in the project, but when i hover over them the preview screen is black. I am working on a very important video and need this problem solved ASAP.
Thanks,
Caitlyn

Try this:
Quit iMovie completely
Go to the desktop and look for the Go Menu, hold down the Option key and click on the Go Menu.
Choose Library > Preferences > look for the following file: com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Drag com.apple.iMovieApp.plist to the trash
Now look for com.apple.iApps.plist and also drag it to the trash
Next try this:
Quit iMovie completely
Go to Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects > look for all your project folders
Move 1 project folder to the Desktop
Launch iMovie and see how it reacts (does it start faster?) Quit iMovie.
Move 1 project folder tot he Desktop, etc.
Keep moving project folders until there are no project folders left in the iMovie Projects folder.
If iMovie still reacts the same as before with the spinning color wheel also try delete the .plist files one more time, and reboot your Macintosh. With no projects in the Projects folder iMovie should launch very quickly, and so you should try moving project folders back into the iMovie Projects folder one at a time until you can figure out which project is causing the bad behavior.

Freezes on prefs and won´t load HUI ??

• Just bought Logic Express.
• Upgraded to 7.1.1
• Running Tiger 10.4.2
• Running no other applications with Logic Express
• When I open Logic I get an error message saying "cannot load HUI module/plugin" or something of that nature.
I have no clue what the HUI module or HUI plugin is.
• When I choose "preferences" Logic freezes and I have to restart the program.
Should I update to Tiger 10.4.4?
Will Logic only run with 10.4.4?
A lot of hassle for a program that claims to be plug & play. :o(

I may have solved the problem after spending a ridiculous amount of time on this.
Seems you have to manually find ths file http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport31macosx104.html on the apple.com site under Support.
The Runtime update should have been a part of the Tiger 10.4.4 update, but for some reason isnt.
Instead customers are left hanging in the wind trying to guess how to do Apple´s homework.
Way to go.
Sorry about my negativity. I simply cannot accept paying for a program that you have to spend 5-6 hours installing, because the developer disnt do the job right the first time.
It´s totally unprofessional and a waste of other people´s time.
Take care.

When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot 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.

My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there.

My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there. Any way to fix it ?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device. That's not supported by Apple.

Turn off your computer then on startup hold down on the trackpad.

Skyype just spins and won't load

A few days ago my Skype started just spinning and won't load. I've tried upgrading and checked all my settings but nothing will resolve the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas why this is happening?

What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827218 What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer? In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer. P.S.

Logic pro 9.1.2 freezes when opening and says quantize

I created a track, and every version of it freezes when i open it, it loads and then it brings up a window that says quantize and then it freezes at that point. with every version I have saved except version 1. This arrangement is extremely important. please help. it originally crashed and i didn't save the report, now i can't get it to crash again, now it just freezes. I can create a video of all of this happening if that would help?

I've experienced this bug and have determined how to replicate it; it's caused when you perform an Audio-to-MIDI Groove Template function in the Sample Editor Factory on a Flex-Timed (Quantized) Region. Performing Audio-to-Midi Groove Template on a non-Flextime/quantized file performs as expected.
Here's a simple way to replicate the bug:
1. Create blank session, create 1 audio and 1 software instrument track
2. Import a drum loop into the audio track
3. Activate Flex mode, select Slicing on the drum loop
4. Select the software instrument track
5. Double click drum loop
6. In Factory, select Audio-To-Midi Groove Template, click 'Use'
7. Quit Logic
8. Relaunch Logic
The session now seems to be permanently corrupted. After force quitting Logic, Logic will continue to try to load this session on relaunch so you have to use another session to launch Logic rather than just click Logic's icon.
I've tried deleting the quantized audio file and removing all undo and fade files from the session directory but the session still hangs upon opening, so the corruption seems embedded in the session file itself.
I've reported it to Apple.

Loading through Process Chains 2 Delta Loads and 1 Full Load (ODS to Cube).

Dear All,
I am loading through Process chains with 2 Delta Loads and 1 Full load from ODS to Cube in 3.5. Am in the development process.
My loading process is:
Start - 2 Delta Loads - 1 Full Load - ODS Activation - Delete Index - Further Update - Delete overlapping requests from infocube - Creating Index.
My question is:
When am loading for the first am getting some data and for the next load i should get as Zero as there is no data for the next load but am getting same no of records for the next load. May be it is taking data from full upload, i guess. Please, guide me.
Krishna.

Hi,
The reason you are getting the same no. of records is as you said (Full load), after running the delta you got all the changed records but after those two delta's again you have a full load step which will pick whole of the data all over again.
The reason you are getting same no. of records is:
1> You are running the chain for the first time.
2> You ran this delta ip's for the first time, as such while initializing these deltas you might have choosen "Initialization without data transfer", as such now when you ran these deltas for the first time they picked whole of the data.Running a full load after that will also pick the same no. of records too.
If the two delats you are talking are one after another then is say u got the data because of some changes, since you are loading for a single ods to a cube both your delta and full will pick same "For the first time " during data marting, for they have the same data source(ODS).
Hope fully this will serve your purpose and will be expedite.
Thax & Regards

TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
"Cannot Open Page"
"Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
IF that does not work -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Finally - if problem still present -
Go to Settings>General>Reset
Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

Keynote stops when playing and won't continue to next slide?

Keynote stops when playing and won't continue to next slide?

Hello, welcome to the user forum,
It would help if you told which version of Captivate you are using. Since you are talking about 'multiple actions', I suppose it is Captivate 4, because that feature was abandoned in Captivate 5 and even for CP4 it was not very recommendable, I always replaced it by an Advanced action.
I blog a lot about advanced actions, and also posted articles in the knowledgebase of CP-Help. A complete list of those articles are found as a link in this blog post:
Articles on Advanced Actions
It is a list published on acrobat.com; updated it yesterday with latest article.
If you are totally new to Advanced Actions, I could offer an example of the code you'll need, but want to know first if you are using CP4 or CP5.
