IMovie has frozen up on me. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the apps- no help. I can play some of the files- but I can't get into the libraries.Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a few minutes. What can I do?

I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!

I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

  • TS2709 I have AppleTV and Ipad2 running VJay app to my TV over a private cisco router disabled firewall but I keep loosing the video on my TV after a few minutes what can I do?

    I have AppleTV and Ipad2 running VJay app to my TV over a private cisco router disabled firewall but I keep loosing the video on my TV after a few minutes what can I do?

    I also get this problem on my iPad, so probably not related to the AppleTV. On the iPad I restarted Airport Extreme this time, and then the iPad saw my Home Sharing.
    So to recap, restarting the router or Airport Express allowed the iPad and AppleTV to see Home Sharing. Restarting AppleTV also allows AppleTV to see Home Sharing.
    So does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks

    When I''m playing a video clip the computer "locks-up" after a few seconds - what can I do to fix it please?

    The latest is happening with the 12 little video clips sent to me by Apple entitled "Get to know your new iPad"
    They run from 3 to 32 seconds and then "lock-up" on my iMac.

  • I can open some older numbers files but not others. I get a message that says I need a newer version of numbers.

    I can open some older numbers files but not other. I get a message saying I need a new version of numbers. Why would some files open and not others?

    SK,
    Here's the deal. If you ever open a Numbers file with Version 3, the file is converted to Version 3 and can't be opened again by Version 2. Version 2 and Version 3 are undoubtedly both on your machine and they look so similar that you may not realize which you are using. So, there are two steps to getting into trouble.
    1. Open a Numbers 2 file with Numbers 3, edit it and Close it.
    2. Try to open that file with Version 2. You ill get the error.
    To always get it right, find the file you want to open in Finder, Right-Click it and choose Open With... and pick Version 3 from the drop down list.
    If you have a file that you prefer to use only in Version 2, always use Open with... Numbers 2.3.

    Installed the iTunes 10 update on my computer (Windows 7).  iTunes will no longer launch and I get no error msg. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling entire app but no help. What's the fix??

    Hi sahgin,
    The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
    I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

  • Acrobat Pro X (10.1.9.22) crashes after a few minutes of use - I've tried everything I can think of!

    Acrobat Pro X, that came with CS6 Design Standard (all other programs working fine) crashes after a few minutes of use. It crashes whether there is a document open or not.
    I notice it most when I come back to the PDF after switching from another program; eg) Open PDF and browse for atleast 1 minute, find the info I need on the PDF, update InDesign document, switch back to PDF, "(Not Responding)", try to close document, "Adobe Acrobat is Not Responding". And this happens every single time - no matter what document I open or whether I even have a document open at all.
    I've searched the forums and as much of the Internet I can think of, and I've tried (but with no luck);
    - Updating both Windows 7 and Acrobat Pro
    - Deactivating and the reactivating the software
    - Deleting the cache and then deactivating - (I thought this had worked for a few minutes after I'd done this, but no)
    - Acrofix
    - Complete re-install without performing updates - still crashed
    - Complete resinstall after using Acrobat Cleaner tool
    - Turning off 3D functions in Acrobat
    - Turning off Enhanced security and license features in Acrobat
    - Turning off Windows Firewall
    - Turning off Internet Security (ESET)
    - Removing all non-standard Fonts
    I can't think of anything else to try so I thought I'd ask here. Please help!

    Hi Rave, thanks for your reply.
    How do I go about posting the crash dump here?
    And to answer your questions; I just installed Reader 11 and its working fine. As for Acrobat 11, I must've used a trial last year before we got CS6 because it is asking me to license it, so I cant test that unfortunately.

  • IMovie 08 Import Crashes After a Few Minutes

    I recently upgraded to iMovie 08 on a iMAC G5 1.8mhz with Leopard. When I try to capture video to iMovie from my digital converter box it crashes after a few minutes, where as this never happened with iMovie 06 when it was running on my Tiger machine. Plus, whenever I start iMovie 08 it takes 10-20 minutes to generate thumbnails of video that I have just imported. What is this? iMovie 06 didn't do this!

    Hello Donkey Punch,
    this doesn't really give you an answer, but hte same thing happens to me every once in a while when importing from camera. The import simply stops at a certain point - sometimes the camera keeps playing, sometimes it stops altogether.
    I have never been able to fix this and, as it occurs very randomly and never at the same time spot, I have simply learned to live with it: rewind a few seconds, then start importing again. When capture is done, simply cut the few seconds of extra footage.
    I guess it could be because of dropped frames and the overall speed of your machine (and mine) could be a factor in that, as capturing is obviously a time-sensitive operation .... bit of a shot in the dark here ...:-)
    hope this helps (a bit)

  • My macbook pro crashes after a few minutes of playing a game or using photoshop? i just got it fixed motherboard. do i have to do an update?

    my macbook pro crashes after a few minutes of playing a game or using photoshop? i just got it fixed motherboard. do i have to do an update?

    There are no updates currently available beyond v10.8.4 for Mountain Lion.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    If that doesn't help, the startup disk may need repairing.
    Turn the Mac off, wait about ten seconds then startup while holding down the Command + R keys. Let go of the keys when you see the spinning progress indicator.
    From there you should be able to access the utilities in recovery mode to verify and repair the disk if necesssary, or reinstal OS.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    IPhone 4 with Att, 3g, I can receive calls but caller can't hear me. I tried reboot and remove sim card. Help!

    Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Sql Server 2008 R2 keeps disconnecting after a few minutes -- how can I prevent this?

    I already went into the Sql Server Configuration manager and set the TCPIP Keep Alive value to 0 (default setting 30000). But still, after like 5 minutes it disconnects, and I have to re-log back in. The problem with this is that I will usually have several
    #temp tables open -- then I have to re-create/populate all these #temp tables.  I'm running win7 SP1, Sql Server 2008 R2 Developer -- SP2. Is there something I can set in the registry maybe? What can I do to prevent sql server 2008 R2 Developer from disconnecting?
    Rich P

    I wish to continue with thanks to all for replies.  The disconnect property after Query execution is not checked. And I am not sure about not letting my computer sleep.  Sometimes I have to leave
    it for extended periods. 
    Good day Rich
    P123,
    Sometimes for monitoring we have to do actions that are one-time in order to check our assumptions. In this case I recommend that you do this check :-)
    you just need to check it once (like 24 hours), to make sure that this is the the source of the issue, or not :-)
    In any case you can use screensaver, but make sure that you do not close disks as well.
    Please inform us your result
