Importing locks up imac

I clicked the little import cd button on itunes and it locked up the computer such that force quit would not work (2 times).
Downloaded the itunes update last night but am gunshy to try again.
Anybody else have this problem?

John hello,
welcome to the Apple Discussions...
Check that your HD is in order with 'Disk Utility' ...
Run repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk...
insert disk and re-start holding down the 'c' key until you see the spinning gear.
At installer level do not continue...
Use top left menu and go 'Disk Uitility' (Utilities menu Tiger)
select your HD volume with Operating system on...
select 1st aid... select repair Hard Disk.
if errors are repaired run again until none are reported then verify your HD.
quit and return to the Finder
Check the pemissions are set correct on the Apple installed software...
use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities > select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions... if repairs are needed run again until none are repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit when finished.   
Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'terminal command line'
drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and privileges' tick 'Unlock" ... click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
come back and let me know what happens now John ... TP

  • Can I lock a iMac using iCloud if someone sign outs from iCloud?

    Hi everyone,
    I just wanted to make some tests on my iMac. I activated "Find My Mac" through iCloud. When I am signing out from iCloud (Control panel on OSX's system preference) iCloud.com is showing no device to track. Also, if I change account on iCloud the device cannot be tracked.
    My question is;
    If my iMac gets stolen and if the theif sign out from iCloud or change iCloud account can I still track or remote lock the iMac?

    No. The Mac/device has to have had the 'Find My...' app enabled, and thus be signed in, be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network.

  • When I try to import files from iMac HDD into the event, it fails. FCPX dosn't see this files for import. Files are *.m2ts and *.mpg. Should I buy plagin Quicktime component MPEG-2 to resolve a problem?

    no you should transcode those files into an format that os suitable for editing. Like proRez. Although you might need some Flip4Mac or perian or something to do the conversion.

  • Is there a way to export an iTunes playlist from a windows XP pc and import on an iMac?

    I have a PC running Windows XP that I've had for many years. I just got an iMac and want to make that my main music source for syncing iPods, playing,music in the house, etc. I have a lot of playlists on the old PC that I want to move over to the iMac and I don't have to rebuild them all by hand. Is there a way to export the original playlists from the Windows PC and import them to the iMac since the file systems are different? Thanks.

    The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
    The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
    Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
    That's how the software is designed to work.
    What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
    But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
    If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
    1. If it's just text
    If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
    2. You can use InCopy
    This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
    3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
    http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
    There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
    For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
    But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete  waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.

  • New audiobook imports lock up iPod mini

    After listenting to newly-imported audiobooks (CD's from library) then turning off my iPod mini, it locks up, won't restart without a reset operation, battery drains while locked up. Audiobooks imported prior to download of the newest version of iTunes (7.5) do not cause this problem. The computer is an iMac using OS X 10.3.9. Import settings are for AAC encoder, stereo, 64kbps. Files, both old and new are shown as .m4a. No problems with music files.

    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    You may need to put your iPod into disk mode before connection

  • USB Devices lock-up iMac 2011

    2011 iMac 3.4Ghz i7 SSD+2TB 2GB AMD 16GB Corsair RAM
    I noticed I was experiencing random lock-ups and freezes during the first few weeks of owning the iMac.
    I went down the line of changes I made to the system.
    RAM Upgrade, software installs.
    I went with a bare OS, stock memory, still experiencing lock-ups.
    added everything back, still experiencing lock-ups.
    kept everything unplugged for two weeks, played itunes movies in quicktime on loops (10 total, 5 form the ssd and 5 from the hdd) to see if one or the other would crash the system. Two weeks straight no crash.
    Plugged my iPhone in to sync and update, after a few hours over 8hours) i came back to the system froze & locked. no mouse movement or keyboard input (caps lock key wont turn on and the seconds in the top clock were stuck).
    hard restarted, left it run for a week nothing, plugged in my apple wired keyboard, the next day hard freeze/lock-up.
    this was repeated with each usb port, within a few hours to a few days the system lock-up freeze with any usb devices plugged in.
    it would not do this with FIreWire devices or audio cable or ethernet cable attached just USB.
    is there any way to resolve this without getting the logic board replaced? or is this a firmware/software issue?
    other than that the system is amazingly fast and one of the best.

    This is the error protocol I get in Console:

  • Importing to itunes (iMac) from Macbook

    Relevant hardware: desktop-iMac G5, PowerPC processor, OS 10.4.2; MacBook, 2GHz Intel processor, OS 10.4.8
    Relevant software: Desktop-iTunes 7.0.2, MacBook-iTunes 7.0.2
    Issue: Problem transferring music files from MacBook to iMac
    Description: Trying to transfer music files from MacBook to iMac. Some files will transfer, others will not. Error message (in the files that won't transfer) says no permission to write, however, when I check ownership and permissions on both MacBook and iMac, everything (owner, group, others) is set to read and write. Preferences for iTunes on both iMac and Macbook identical. This only "no permission to write" applies only to some files, not all. Both affected and unaffected files were imported from my own cd's, not purchased from iTunes.
    Attempted solutions: Tried using "import" and "add to library" command from drop down menu using individual files. Tried clicking and dragging individual files from folders into iTunes itself. Tried placing folders into itunes Music folder. Tried placing iTunes Library into iTunes Music folder.
    Any other suggestions? Please help

    You should have been posted in the iTunes for Mac Forum.

    I  trying to import media using iPhon on my iMac and it says the file is unsupported. So
    when end I try to play the movie , QuickTime converts this before playing clip and creates new file which then I can oort the converted file into premiere pro. Why is this have to be converted to a new file(never had to do this when using iMovie)? And is there any quick way to do all files at once instead of every one individual?

    Holding alt key does bring up the choices, but I never see the bootable USB or external DVD drive as options... I only see the 2 partitions - the main iMac and the partition created by Bootcamp to install windows.
