Ipod freezes when trying to import cds

This just happened a few days ago. I have been trying to import cds, but can't because the song that I am trying to import freezes. When I click quit nothing happens. Internet explorer also freezes, and I have to turn my computer off manually.
I thought it was because I recently downloaded Internet Explorer 8, but that isn't the problem because I uninstalled it and it is still happening.
I even tried to uninstall itunes and quicktime, but nothing happens.
This is very frustrating because I can't get in contact with Apple because they say my warranty has expired, and I will have to pay $29.00 for a one time call.
Based on these discussions, I am not the only one having the same type of problem. Apple seems to know about it, but is doing nothing.

I meant importing cds to my ipod. I found out the hard way that some can't be imported. My computer crashed because of it. I just bought a new one.
I contacted my virus prtection provider, and was told that the problem maybe that it wasn't compatible with other programs I was running on my computer.
The only program I can think of is internet explorer 8. I had just downloaded it when it started to occur.
I contacted microsoft before the crash, and they said to contact apple which I couldn't because my warranty had expired.
Anyway, I am done with putting music on ipods. I am just going to use itunes to sync and recharge my ipod. When it stops working I'll just get rid of it.

IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

Please help!
My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
This also happens in safe mode
My driver is up to date

We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

Need advise, I have purchased compressor 4.1 to compress my movie file, particularly MKV files. Problem is, that the software freezes when trying to import the 10GB MKV. Any one that can help?

Afraid Compressor won't work with MKV. If you have access to a system running an earlier version than Mavericks, and with Perian installed you can use MPEG Streamclip or Quick Time Pro to convert to a mov.

LR 3 freeze when trying to import (with a workaround)

Hi,
Windows XP SP3
Core i7 with 4 GB RAM (3 in use)
I had mentioned this in the previous IMPORT FREEZE thread, but that thread go pretty long and convoluted so I thought I would isolate the particular problem that I (and many others) are having.
Problem is that when hitting the IMPORT button (or doing a drag and drop, or using the menu to select IMPORT), the screen freezes. Most of the time the cursor arrow is frozen on the Import button. LR thinks that it is in Import mode but there is no UI. To get out of this frozen mode you just have to hit the escape key, and LR dismisses the (non-existent) Import screen and continue to function normally.
Sometimes the Import screen is partially drawn. I think this happens if the Import mode had worked previously in this session (like it does right after a complete re-boot).
The problem is that once this problem shows up, while you can get out of the frozen program (by hitting the esc key) there is no way to import files into LR without re-booting.
Workaround:
This morning I realized that since the problem seems to be with drawing the Import screen, that maybe Auto-Import would work, and at least I would have the import function back. So I tried it and it works perfectly. I just download to the HD using another method to get the files from the memory card to the HD, and then move the files to the watch folder (after you enable Auto-Import). Set the preview to minimal so the "import" can go as fast as it can.
Hope this helps, and if Adobe or anyone else with this specific import problem has additional info, please post it hear. I know other people are having problems with the actual import, but let's keep those in a seperate thread (at least that is my suggestion).
Thanks in advance.

First let me say I appreciate your 2cts worth. I am learning more about this issue with every post. That's the great thing about forums. It brings the smart people with the passion for making life easier for others together, learning a bit more at the same time.
Before I downloaded the trial version I checked the system requirements. Lightroom is built for systems several years old. Here are my PC specs:
- Dell Studio 1737
- Windows Vista Home Premium w/SP1
- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6500 @ 2.10GHz
- 6 GB RAM
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
- 64-bit Operating System
This should be more than enough to run the most demanding Lightroom tasks. Your thoughts?

Mac keeps freezing when trying to import video

When I try to import video to my i5 iMac 21.5" it gets to about 5 seconds and then freezes the copying file tab has been on the screen constant now for 2 days, it plays all the video directly from disk but I am trying to put them on an external HDD which is formatted as per the reccomendations. This is happening virtually everytime I try and copy any files including to the local drive. Also whilst Im on the subject I installed a printer and for some reason it keeps dropping the printer so I have to install it every time I want to use the printer. Both the HDD and printer are compatible with apple mac and all the files as I said earlier run from CD/DVD. Im running OSX Lion and apart from the files I am trying to import and the printer software its a vanilla build.

Try trashing iMovie preferences. They are in your home library>preferences.

IPod freezes when trying to sync with iTunes 6.0.4(3)!

Is anyone else having this problem?? My iPod (touch wheel) was working just fine until I updated iTunes the other night. Now it freezes when I try to sync it with iTunes! I tried resetting, restoring, checked all the updates, *****-slapping the iPod, everything. I see that others might be having the same problem -- is there a solution? Help!
iMAC Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Update:
Any new news on this issue from anyone else?
I left my iPod plugged into my PowerBook over night and when I woke it was functional. However, downloads from iTunes to the iPod take almost 3x's longer than they used to and there seems to be more errors than I've ever experienced (about 1 out of every 10 interfaces). Sometimes the error is that it can't write to the drive (iPod) and sometimes the error is that it can't mount the iPod. Also when the iPod is plugged in and displayed in iTunes, the "used" and "free" info is incorrect. I completely emptied my iPod and it says that I'm using -2.80 GB (impossible unless I've created a blackhole) and it says that I have 10.49 GB (capacity, under Get Info, is listed at 9.28 - which is were it's always been - it's a gen2 10GB iPod).
Has anyone tried to format there iPod? Is this possible without harming the drive?
Well, to sum it up my iPod is working but is having errors and bugs all over the place. If anyone has any new news I'd love to hear it.

Robohelp 7 Freezes When Trying to Import Anything

When I try to import anything into RoboHelp 7, it freezes. I
go to File > Import and select any option. The result is that
the entire application freezes until I click Escape.
The only thing I've been trying to import is Captivate
movies. The obvious workaround is to initiate movies from within
RoboHelp, which I've been doing. Still, I would like it if I could
import things ...
I'm on XP and haven't done anything usual.

I found out what the problem was. I configured dual monitor
display for my laptop (so I could drag items between my laptop
monitor and a desktop monitor). In dual monitor mode, the Import
dialog box appears on the second monitor (because at some point, I
imagine I dragged it there).
When I switched back to single monitor mode, RoboHelp still
thought I was in dual monitor mode and it put the dialog box on the
other (blank or nonexistent) screen. Hence when I tried to import
something, it seemed to freeze because it wouldn't let me push any
other buttons until I made a selection on the dialog box I couldn't
access.
Here's the fix: Set up dual monitor mode again with two
monitors. In RoboHelp, go to File > Import to prompt the dialog
box. Drag the dialog back onto the same monitor as the application.
Now switch back to single monitor mode and go to File > Import
again. The application should remember to put the dialog box in the
correct place, and it no longer freezes.

HT203175 keep getting error code 81 when trying to import cds into itunes

since installing itunes 11 i keep getting a error message which says an unkown error occurred (81) when trying to impoprt cd's
any ideas as to why would be helpful thanks.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Ipod freezes when trying to connect usb to itunes

It seems i have lost all my music on my 2 year old 5g ipod. Nothing shows up under artist/songs/etc, but in the settings it shows my 60gb ipod having 52gbs used (correct for the amount of music i have had loaded up until this point.
Now when I try to connect my ipod to my imac, I can see the device on my desktop, and can even access the drive, but as soon as I try to open itunes the program freezes up, and i have to disconnect my usb connection (unable to dismount the correct way).
So, im trying to find a solution where i can reset my ipod to its newborn factory fresh iteration. I cant do it through itunes because the ipod doesnt mount properly. Is there a hard reset somewhere? Not a reboot, but a factory fresh reset.
Thanks so much for your help. These boards are so helpful!

Hi
Chicken of the VNC has to be installed on all computers you wish to use VNC on. The application itself, although good, does have a tendency to crash and display the problems you describe. I know Chicken of the VNC free but if you want full VNC capability that does not give you problems on the mac platform then you cant do worse than Apple Remote Desktop.

Ipod freezes when trying to sync/sometimes reboots my computer?!?

I have a 20 gig ipod from 2004 (click-wheel with no color screen) that I have been trying to update my library on. Every time it tries to sync, it freezes and I have to plug it into the power supply in order to restart it. It also won't take any new songs if I try to add them manually. I tried restoring factory settings and updating my ipod software and that didn't help. I tried using the USB unsuccessfully and tried the firewire only to have that freeze the ipod and completely reboot my computer at the same time?! If anyone knows what is going on, I'd greatly appreciate any advice. I have taken great care of my ipod and would be surprised if it was something I had done to damage the unit.
thanks MUCH in advance!
ps. my nano syncs and adds songs manually just fine with the same computer...

Computer freezes when trying to burn cds with itunes

I don't know if this would help other people with issues related to burning cds with itunes but here it goes:
My computer running Windows XP SP2 and itunes 7.6.1.9 suddently stopped burning cds via itunes about a couple of versions ago. Burning would start correctly, however the operation never completed successfully, in fact, the computer would completly freeze before getting too far. The computer had to be hard booted, meaning I had to hold the power button to kill it. The only solution that I've come up with that effectively corrects this problem is as follows:
Close itunes
Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
Look for IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service and open it (double-click it):
If not started, start it by clicking the Start button
Select Startup Type as Automatic
Go to Recovery tab and set first, second and subsequent failures to Restart the Service
Click Apply and then Ok to close window
Look for iPod Service and open it:
If not started, start it by clicking the Start button
Select Startup Type as Automatic
Click Apply and then Ok to close window
Restart itunes, try burning a cd from a playlist in itunes. There is no guarantee that this will solve your issue, but it is worth a shot, it has worked for me so far.

LR4 freezes when trying to import photos

Everytime I try and import photos LR freezes or takes forever to show source options.

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

MacBook Pro Locks Up (freezes) when trying to import from iPhone6

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) with the latest OS on it. Recently (regrettably) I did the update for Photos. First of all Photos is terrible compared to iPhoto. The layout and everything is just terrible. The worst is that as soon as I plug in my iPhone 6plus to import photos, everything locks up - totally freezes and the screen even goes black.
How I undo the Photos update and continue with iPhoto without losing anything?
Thanks
