IMovie start up stops when looking for i Photo video's

iMovie starts up but when looking for new iPhoto video's it looks like the program is in a loop and nothing happens anymore. I can only stop the loop by forcing the close of the program.

Removed all iMovie preference files from the library folder, still hangs on start up with the same message
"Updating iPhoto videos Event"
"Scanning for new videos in your iPhoto Library"
Gets half way thru scan,hangs. Spinning ball and iMovie "not responding" in Force quit window
Running iMovie is 9.0.1, on a completly standard machine as supplied from the factory
Cheers

  • Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes?

    Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes? The Ipod Touch, by itself does not allow cross-fading, therefore when the stop time is edited short, the song jusst truncates then goes to the next song. I tried the DJay ap and while it would crossfade, it would NOT read the song settings for the stop marker. So now I want to try and Ipad and see if there is an app that will READ the Itune stop settings within the song. I do NOT want an app that will allow me to DO the stop marker. I want an app that will READ the stop marker from the song as it is set in Itunes.

    Itunes provides the option for setting the Start and Stop times of each music track.  However, the start and stop times do not synchronize to the iPhone.  I don't understand why this option is even available as it doesn't work when listening to music on the phone.  I have not found another application that will support the start and stop time markets.  I have searched quite a bit for this but can't find anything.  I hope we can find something. 

  • Finder crashes when "looking for networks" - workaround that helps

    I've read through most of the messages about finder crashes, but what's going on in my case I haven't seen. As I have a work around, I thought I should post.
    If for whatever reason the wireless connection pauses or gets interrupted (for example, by closing the lid), the finder hangs in the process of "looking for networks."  Most of the time I can still pull up the dock -- the spinning beach ball only clicks in if I mouse over the top menu bar. Sometimes (but not always) I can quit open applications through the dock before I have to do a hard reset.
    My workaround is this: I turn wi-fi off before I close the lid. When I open the lid, I wait a short time -- 30 seconds, about -- and turn the wireless back on, and this way I can avoid the finder crashing.  If the wi-fi pauses for some other external reason, when "looking for networks" starts up, the finder will hang again.
    It's way past  time that Apple coughs up a permanent fix, but this might help somebody who's having the same problem.  And maybe somebody has a better workaround, in which case, I'd love to hear about it.

    1. Going into a folder on my external hard drive that contains the installer for divx for mac.
    Divx has been a source of problems with both Tiger & Leopard. See for example Mac OS X 10.5: Finder may not fully "load". If you have installed it, it is probably at least part of your problem.
    then i erased the whole thing, and used the Mac OS X 10.5 install DVD that came with my mom's iMac (still happens)
    This is not recommended. The install disks that come with specific Mac models do not necessarily install the same things or do all the error checks that the retail Leopard installer disk does. (It is also a violation of the software license to install it on another Mac.) If you want a trouble-free, supported installation of Leopard, use only the retail installer or a disk specifically intended for your exact Mac model.

  • Start and stop windows service for multiple remote computers

    Hello,
    Can someone show me how to Start and Stop windows service for multiple remote computers using Command Prompt or PowerShell or even Java?
    Thank you

    You asked a pure Windows related question at a pure Java related forum. We have advised you to look for a Windows related forum to post the question. Nothing special. It's like asking a car mechanican to help you with your migraine, he would advise you to look for a general practitioner.
    But why are you so surprised and negative about this answer after all? Don't we have to help you? Don't you appreciate help? So be it then, but please stay away then if you keep this attitude.

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • When connecting to my wifi I get ! When looking for networks

    When connecting to my wifi I get ! When looking for networks
    I

    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

  • Having trouble seeing all pix, when looking for something on ebay.

    When looking for an item on ebay, some of the pictures are blank. 
    when I open an item with a blank pix, the picture is there.

    What model laptop do you have?
    Have you tried using a different USB port?
    If you have a USB flash drive or external hard drive, does that work when connected to the same port?

  • What to look for in a video camera

    i have an apple ibook 700 mhz with imovie....but ill be buying a mac mini within the next few months so i will then have idvd..what are some things that i need to make sure i look for in a video camera. like i dont want to buy something that isnt going to be compatible with my ibook/macmini. im assuming i want a mini dv recorder. any help is greatly appreciated thanks

    ... ah,we had that a while ago... no bookmark... hm?? :
    * miniDV, no miniDVD/flashmem/whatever..
    * firewire connected (all miniDV do so, some call it iLink or IE1394) ask dealer for a cable! (some manufacturers "forget" to include...)
    * stay with the big brands, no exotic cheapos...
    * I highly recommend Sony, pic & audio quality perfect! very good energy management ("stamina")
    * in case you need: look for ext. mic plug-in
    * in case you need conversion from analogue (beta, VHS, PSP..), look for analogue-IN
    * spending BigBucks: HD is a nice-have, but besides playback to tape no other media in sight ("HDDVD")
    * 3ccd has "better" pic quality, better lowlight/lowkey quality
    * you shouldn't pay for any in-camera-fx (sepia, posterize, ...), you'll do that in iMovie...
    * get hands-on experience in shop! some cameras are too small...
    * set camera to 16bit audio (my Sony "prefers" 12bit - NoGo with iApps)
    * get a tripod

  • Looking for a good Video intro generator. Any recommendation ?

    Hi there,
    I am looking for some impressive video intro generator & bump into this:
    http://www.reallusion.com/contentstore/cstore_vshowcase.aspx?id=525&CategoryName =iClone
    I bought the iClone4 plus the Motion Montage because I like the part where it will generate the impressive video intro sequence automatically & all I need to do was to drag my pictures & videos into it.
    But, when I used it, this software turns out to be very complicated. When I drag a picture into it, it turns dark immediately !! My guess is that I have to adjust the lighting & a whole series of buttons to get the effect. So, this is too cumbersome & too time consuming for me.
    I need one that can generate an impressive video intro & all I have to do is to select my pictures & video files.
    Any recommendation from experts here ?
    Thanks

    I'd never seen any program that could make something like that so easily until I clicked your link! Generally to do that kind of work you need a working knowledge of programs that support editing/modeling in 3D space.
    If nobody else can name another product, you might try the "Contact Us" part of their website:
    http://www.reallusion.com/aboutus.asp#contact
    Yes, I have tried that, all they did was ask me to see their tutorial & manual & forum. But their forum are mostly on iClone4 and not Motion Montage.
    Also, it is too time consuming to learn the iClone4. I bought it because I thought I can produce the impressive video intro by just dragging in my video files & picture files.
    It work to a certain extend but the problem is that the very minute I drag my files into it, it becomes very dark & resolution quality drop to a very bad level, unlike what I see on the sales video.
    I hope others can recommend me another product.
    Thanks

  • Spinning Beach Ball Delay with "Look for Shared Photos" Checked

    We installed iLife '06 on our school computers - all 500 of them - this fall. It is version 6.0.4. However, upon launch, there is a long delay of about 2-4 minutes with a spinning beach ball that we've determined takes place because iphoto is looking for shared libraries. We have one shared library on the network at this time, but sometimes teachers turn on sharing, or have in the past.
    Last year, we were using iPhoto '04 and had no problems like this at all -shared libraries appeared immediately, just as quickly as shared libraries in itunes still do.
    Has anyone experienced this - is there a known issue? Or should I look for a network problem.

    Solved this problem myself. It was a dns issue. For some reason, when iphoto looks for shared photo's, it does a reverse lookup on the ip of any machine it finds that has sharing turned on. If there is no reverse lookup zone on your dns server running OS X then it locks up as it repeatedly sends the request. Simply creating a reverse zone for the ip address range of your clients makes the bug go away. Why it needs to do a reverse lookup is beyond me.

    The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network.  The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network.  Otherwise, you  have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

  • Looking for a photo app...

    I'm going on a trip and I am looking for a photo app where I can take a picture and upload it to the web from my phone so my friends can view the pictures on a map.
    Does an app like this exist?

    I believe this may do what you want:

    and maybe this:
