IMovie is completely frozen, Please help!

I was working on an iMovie project, adding lots of cutaways... then iMovie suddenly froze and would not respond; not showing the clips and stuff i was editing I tried quitting iMovie to get it to fix itself, that didn't work, i restared my computer, that didn't work, and i also updated iMovie and that didn't work either. it will not respond when i click anything, all it will do is play the current project im working on... does anyone know how to fix this, or have any troubleshooting tips for me?

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named. com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.
Yours Bengt W

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Ok.. I see the app now in iTunes.
Best thing to do is email the developer of that app.
You can do that here > http://www.lymobilesoft.com/contact.html
Make sure and tell them exactly what the error says:
it gives me the error 'Your request could not be completed'.
Instead of using a third party app, you can download movies directly from the iTunes store.

I get the "Your purchase could not be completed" message, please help to verify

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Problem transferins clips from Sony DCR-SX41 to imovie!!! Please, Help me!!

I'm having a really hard time in transferring the videos from my camcorder to iMovie 09. The computer do not recognize the camera. A folder appear on desktop, but can not open. The filo on my camcorder is .MPEG2, Every time I try, a window pop up with a message "the movie can not be opened." "The file is not a movie file". I have tried to download MPEG STREAMCLIP from Squared 5, as suggested by the people from Apple store where my computer was checked if there was a problem it, but after the download is done, there is 2 folders, one is "Aboiut save as AVI.rtf, and the other "Save as AVI.component", but is blank, there nothing in there, a message "The movie could not be opened" "The specified file fork does not exist". What am I doing wrong? Please, help me!!!!
By the way, I have plenty of space on my computer, this is not the problem.

Hi
Is it so that You trie to use a NTSC-Camera ?
I think that You got a very big problem - as I tried to do it the other way around.
I got a tape from US (NTSC)
It play back nicely on my SONY TRV-900E (PAL) (with playback NTSC) on LCD screen on Camera and via analog out to a TV - BUT I had to put a VHS-VCR (which also playback NTSC) in between.
Then connected
• via FW to Mac - NOTHING
• via analog-out to Canopus ADVC-300 via FW to Mac - NOTHING
May be (not tested)
Camera (analog out) to VHS-VCR then analog out from this to Canopus ADVC-300 via FW to Mac
Might work but still has to be tested.
I would rather
• borrow a NTSC-Camera (alt in Your Case - a PAL-one) - then use this to import into iMovie and a project set in same fasion.
To convert from one to the other (when got it into the Mac) - DO NOT
• import into wrong type in iMovie or iDVD (Might work - BUT Result in iDVD are very BAD)
• I use JES_Deinterlacer to do this conversion - and it does this so much better
• There are Pro applicastions that can do this at an astronomical cost and the result is not so much better.

N82 Completely Crash, Please HELP!!

Hi everyone,
My N82 is completely crash and I do not know how to fix.
I never dropped this phone and never used messily. Because I love this phone since I got it.
I tried all possibility to fix.
To take out SIM and SD. To reinstall the firmware.
I guess it started after I installed new firmware v20.
Here are my problem
1. while calling, the phone suddenly freeze and cut a communication. It also happens many times when I hang up the phone call. After a moment it turns off.
2. When I turn on the phone, it just show black screen and keep turn on a backlight.
3.When I remove the SD, sometimes it turns on correctly but few hours later, it shows black screen and backlight.
4.When I charge the phone, it also shows black screen and backlight.
I hope this is software problem because I am using it in Japan and Japanese customer center doesn't support this model.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Try a hard reset, but backup everything you want to keep. Also remove the memory card before you do it and try it without the card to see if it works. If it does work you may need to format the memory card to avoid any slowdown.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.

Ipod frozen please help

So, I was thinking to myself one day about how the aluminum casing for the ipod was kind of dull, so I made a new one out of Rosewood and Cedar. It looks sexy, but the click wheel doesn't work right any more. I replaced the wheel and screen with new parts when I rebuilt the case. Now, I can use the wheel to reset it (holding menu and select) but it just goes to the default menu and won't move. I can also connect to the computer and play my music that way. Anyway, I'm slowly dying without my portable music, so please please help. Thanks.

My Itunes is frozen please help!

I am trying to import a cd and it got half way thru and and is frozen. I cant even quit the application. what do I do?? Please help.

Your CD is probably damaged so when you get it out,
check it carefully for scratches.
You can also put your cursor on the Dock's iTunes
icon, hit control (or right click) and see a menu for
iTunes. Force Quit is at the bottom.
I just ran into this issue with damaged CDs and I'm
certain there's got to be a way to tell iTunes to
bail out of attempting to import a file that it
simply cann't read but I'm not finding any help.
bogiesan
I am experiencing the same trouble in here - although the CDs I am trying to import are perfect. Besides, if I try to force-quit iTunes, the whole Tiger freezes. I've seen other posts in this forum and I'm starting to think it has something to do with an iTunes 6.0.5 issue - 'cause other users are having the same kind of trouble.
If it's not that, then it's a hardware trouble.
