Import to mini hangs. Why?

Morning,
I've got a 4G mini that I'm having problems with. I've done the reset/restore. After that I try to import a playlist. It will do appox. 250 songs quite quickly, then it slows to a crawl, then it just hangs. I then "tell" it to stop the import (x on song title) after giving it more time. The pinwheel just keeps spinning. I have to do a force quit which says itunes is not responding. I then start the process all over again, but try importing in smaller blocks of songs. Once again it gets to a certain point and hangs.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS I've switched usb and firewire cables

I have just overcome a similar problem myself & it appears to be a bug in iTunes 7.02.
I recently had to reinstall iTunes which meant it recognised my wife's iPod Mini as an alien iPod and asked to erase it, to which I clicked OK. Then iTunes asked to create a playlist for it because it could not load all my library onto it. Since I had already created a playlist, I clicked Cancel. At this point, the menu's reappeared on the Mini, but iTunes seemed to think it was still attached i.e. the two ends seemed to have gotten out of sync. I then set up iTunes to sync my pre-built playlist to the Mini and started synchronising the Mini. After a short while, I got the fault you did.
After this, the iPod is no longer recognised by iTunes or the PC. I tried the iPod on a Mac Mini - still not recognised. Then I tried my laptop - the same story. The iPod, however, seems to operate normally except that only a few music files were in its playlists.
I then reckoned if I could get the iPod to reboot by pressing and holding Select and Menu, it might clear the problem. After trying this a few times (our iPod Mini always takes several attempts to get it to reboot for some reason), I got the Apple logo and found that Windows now saw the iPod and so did iTunes. This time, when iTunes asked to create a playlist, I clicked OK and let it sync up with its playlist. I then changed the playlist back to my playlist and synced again and this worked. Now all is well.
So, in conclusion, it looks like a bug in iTunes puts the iPod into an inconsistent state where the USB interface is not working properly. You can fix it by rebooting the iPod and letting iTunes do what it wants. It looks like the last iTunes update had minimal testing.
Has anyone noticed that the iTunes updates seem to have stopped recently even though there have been lots of problem with 7.02?

Why does it take iMovie longer to import video than the length of the video? For example- it took 2 mins and 15 secs to import 2 mins and 4 secs of video...

It's not like playing a tape. It has to convert it from whatever format you currently have into a codec suitable for editing (Apple Intermediate). This will take longer or shorter depending how compressed your original format is, and on the ability of your CPUs to catch up.

Trouble importing HDV mini DV footage from my Sony HVR Z7U into FCP 6.0.6

Cannot import HDV mini DV footage from my HVR Z7U camcorder into Final Cut Pro
I can Import the footage as an NTSC 720x480 signal.
One consistent answer is to make sure that in camcorders menu settings that the IN/OUT REC - iLINK SET is set to off.
No Luck, no communication with FCP in that mode.
That being said when cameras ilink is on I can import 740/480 NTSC video, not HDV.
Here’s where I’m at now
The video was shot in 1080i 30p onmini DV. With my Sony HVR Z7U Ican only import the video into FCP as a NTSC 720x480 signal. It looks great butnot in HDV?
I believe I have tried most every setting in my FCP audio video settings to import the HD footage into FCP. FCPseems to only recognize the camcorder in the NTSC mode.
Example - In FCP Audio /Video Settings
Sequence Preset - HDV 108030p
Capture Preset    - HDV
Device Control     - HDV FireWire Basic
Video Playback   - Only gives none or NTSC choices(I chose Apple FireWire)
With the setting above and Sony’s ilink off- window alert reads…
“Device is not connected or the capture preset is not set up correctly. You may still log offline clips. This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.” The camcorder viewer reads the digital footage as 1080i 30p. So it’s not shot in DV footage.
With the iLink on - I get the same window alert. Unless I capture in NTSC
For me FCP will only log and capture the footage when the Capture and Device Control Presets are set to a NTSC format and the camcorder ilink is on. Hence an NTSC 720x480 signal is imported. Not HDV?
Come on, I know this a common problem and I must be missing something very simple. Please Help! Many thanks.

Someone mentioned using log and transfer. I use this with all my Compact Flash HD videos. I have found no info for importing HDV from mini DV in log and transfer with a (my) camcorder.

Gary, this is the Final Cut Pro X forum. You might try the other forum for FCP. Still, I have the Z5U Sony which is nearly identical to your camera except for the zoom as I recall. I think we have the same menu system. I see to recall there is a menu option that sets the output file format. Also you can set it to record in SD as well as I recall. I read my files in from tape to FCP X easily ... in high def. Best wishes.

Fizzy, grainy, snowly picture on importing from mini DV

Okay can import my mini DV now.
But the quailty is really bad. I wait a better clear pic. Help

How old is the tape? How it was stored could mean a loss of signal from the tape it self. Snowy picture could be the recorded tape may have lost some of it magnetic signal and causing snow. You can also try cleaning the the camera with one of those cleaning tapes as well. If the tape was recorded with a different camera then the one you are importing I found that sometimes it does not play back correctly, with some loss of quality.

Using AirPlay Mirroring by my iPhon, iPad or Mac I am dissconnected every 5-10 min! Why?

The iPad 1 does not support mirroring at all. Nor does your Mac Pro when running 10.7.5; Mirroring via AirPlay came only with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Mac Mini hangs on boot with grey Screen. No response to Keyboard

Hello,
yesterday my Mac Mini (C2Duo, fifth generation unibody) startet to behave strangely. First thing was that it was not responding to the mouse(connected throught the keyboard)
I replaced the mouse and everything seemed to be ok.
I then did the latest update available on Mountain Lion and went home.
When I came back this morning, the Mac Mini hang with grey screen. I restarted. Again grey screen.
Chime comes. Then nothing.
Tried everything from http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570 but nothing worked. The Mac Mini does not seem to be responding
to any keyboard command to enter safe mode, select boot device etc. No firmware password has been set.
Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated.
Yours,
Andreas

Mini hangs at boot up screen

My mini hangs at the grey bootup screen and will not continue beyond it.
I recently had an old Macbook pro hardrive attached to the Mini via USB to transfer some data.
This old drive also had a recent version of OSX on it but I never booted to this drive.
The Mini read the drive, I transferred the data, shut it down, and the next day it would not boot and would only hang on the grey boot up screen.
It won't boot up whether or not I have the old Macbook drive attached or not.
I tried a PRAM reset.
Did I somehow make the Mini look for a wrong boot drive and is there anyhting I can do to fix or reset it without having to reformat?

It was purchased in August 2012 and I'm pretty sure it's dual i5's with 8GB ram running the latest OS.
I don't have the recover disk at the moment as the computer was recently loaned to me. Does this typically come on thumbdrive with the computer? (If so I cn have the owner search for it but he say's he does not recall it.)
It has no drive for CD/DVD reinstall.
If I had an external USB drive with the same OS on it would I be able to boot to that drive? And from there backup the main drive to the USB drive and then reformat the main drive if necessary?

Mac Mini hangs on startup screen

Need help, my mini hangs on the startup screen the dial benieth the apple logo spins, but nothing else happens. I was having difficulty connecting to the internet before the issue started, tried to open internet connect, when it wouldn't open I tried a restart, now all I get is the startup screen.
I'm really concerned with un-backed up data, any ideas of how to get in and backup before making any drastic changes?
I can take to the apple store tomorrow, so I don't want to do anything that would potentially lose data or make things worse.
Please help if you know what is going on. Thanks.

Whatever else, do not, at this time, attempt an erase and install, since this would delete all your existing data in the attempt to get a bootable system back in operation.
Since your primary concern is your data, backing this up is the first priority. To do this, you could use firewire target disk mode if you have another Mac available (as previously suggested). However, if you do not have another Mac to hand for this, the safest way to deal with the situation with least risk to existing data is to use an external drive, preferably connected via Firewire, and install MacOS on that, then boot the system to it by holding the Option key down during startup. That would give you a booted system from which you can then examine the internal drive.
There is a possibility that your internal drive will then not be visible, which would indicate either serious directory damage or a hardware issue. Disk Utility can be used to check the drive if it is visible, and even attempt a repair if it is. However if it fails, you will then need to use commercial software such as ProSoft Data Rescue II (an excellent data recovery application) to retrieve data from the drive, or Allsoft's DiskWarrior to attempt a repair on the drive, being aware that even though often effective, there is a risk with tools such as DiskWarrior that in using them they can effect a repair on the drive that makes it viable again, but loose data in the process, thus backing up or retrieving data first is usually the wisest course.
As to the drive itself, it is possible the boot issue being experienced is due to a hardware problem with the drive which would mean a replacement is needed. This is not all that common however. It is more likely to be the result of directory structure errors, in which case Disk Utility or DiskWarrior may be able to resolve the problem, leaving the drive functional without any further action or with little more than an archive and install. However, not all such errors are repairable, and hence an erase and install may be needed.
One way or another, do not attempt to write anything to the drive or change any data on it until you have either retrieved/backed up your data, or decided not to do so. If the data structure is damaged, any and every attempt to modify the data on the drive can render it harder to recover data from it intact.

Where did you buy your mini? Facetime is not installed in UAE area countries, and you can't install it if you are in a country that does allow FT.
