LR3 Hangs during import

I have an iMac Core Duo 32 bit OSX 10.6.8 all updates current. 2GB RAM. LR3.6 used to run fine on this machine. I didn't use LR3 for some time then on coming back to it I notice that it would hang on importing images from a memory card. Computer and card etc all running well otherwise. LR3 would import several of the images then stop. Indefinite beachball on trying to close LR3 so had to Force Quit. On restarting LR3, it stops at the splash screen and needs Force Quit to get out of it.
However, if I Force Quit the MassStorageCamera app using the Activity Monitor, LR3 runs fine again! No problem, unless I try to re-import. There is no problem importing from the hard disk if I first copy the same images from the SD card. AS LONG AS MASSSTORAGECAMERA is not running! If Mass StorageCamera is running, LR3 will hang even if importing from the hard disk. There are 2 small AVI files on the SD card which were copied to the hard disk so that's not a factor.
So, I surmise that MassStorageCamera was updated during the time I was not using LR3 and now there is some incompatibilty between it, LR3 and my Core Duo system. I'm guessing there's an updates MassStorageCamera app, probably for Lion, that has broken LR3 on my system.
AppleMenu/About This Mac/More Info/Software/Applications/MassStorageCamera shows version 6.1 4/26/12 Universal 64 bit.
Any thoughts?

Hang during import from camera or media - HELP!

iPhoto hangs during import from camera or media reader. Works for 20 or more photos, then hangs. No response at all. Must force quit. After restarting the import, it will go further the next time, then hang again. And again. And again. Eventually the import completes. After that, all is OK until next import. VERY FRUSTRATING. Especially with 8GB media cards. ARRGH!
I've tried rebuilding iPhoto library (all options). Using iPhoto 7.1.5 on OS X 10.5.6. 4GB ram, intel dual core.
Help me Obe-Wan. You're my only hope.

Once you get your photos use your camera to reformat your media card - problems like this can be caused by a flaw in the card format
And it is better to use a card reader to import yoru photos and after they are safely in iPhoto use your camera to reformat your card - this assues no data loss and keeps your card format fresh
LN
I usually use the media reader. After the imports started hanging is when I tried importing direct from the camera to see if it made a difference. No difference.
I've reformatted the media. No difference. Still hangs on first import after reformat. Multiple media cards, all same result. Tried different USB ports, same result. Tried different media readers. Same result.

ITunes sync 'hangs' during 'importing photos'

iPhone 4, latest iOS version and latest iTunes version ...
During syncing, the process gets to 'importing photos' and then never finishes. I have to manually cancel the sync to use the phone again. How do I fix this? Thanks.

Sorry RamsayX, but how do you do that? You turned it off in iPhoto or iTunes? The latter I can't find. That's where it hangs for me. I need to sync my phone once in a while.
Ray, do you know what app it hangs on? Not sure if it displays this. Have you opened all your apps on your phone recently? The one that gives you a potential problem, delete it, and reinstall it from iTunes.
Other than that, I have no clue how to force this out. Not like it was dealt with in the last update.
Cheers

Database hangs during import

hi guys,
one of our client using oracle 9i R2 on windows server 2003 platform.
they used to make export backup.when they called me and show me that when they import a schema, import hangs at one large table (i think containing more that 4000,000 rows).
i couldn't understand what might be the problem.it is also not generating any kind of error.
where should i look for tuning???
thanks and regards

As Sybrand suggested you have to check some of the V$ views.
You need to understand what your session is waiting for.
In order to do that you have to find the session ID of the import process. You can use V$SESSION view Link to the 9iR2 Reference Page
In order to get to the right session id use USERNAME='<i>user performing the import</i>' and STATUS='ACTIVE'.
Once you have the right SESSION ID, you can query V$SESSION_WAIT and V$SESSION_EVENT.
- V$SESSION_WAIT will give you the information what the session is currently waiting on. Link to the 9iR2 Reference Page
- V$SESSION_EVENT will give you the information about the wait events this session was waiting so far. Link to the 9iR2 Reference Page
And that is all you need to get the initial clue on what is going on.
Additionally, you may want to query V$SQLAREA to get the current SQL your session is executing.
Link to the 9iR2 Reference Page
Moreover, if you need to get even more details, you may want to turn SQL tracing on (event 10046).
The queries below are just examples on how you can use the views from above to get the information you need:
select      s.sid
       , s.username
       , sw.event
       , sw.P1TEXT
       , sw.P1
       , sw.P2TEXT
          , sw.P2
from
        v$session s
      , v$session_wait sw
where s.sid=sw.sid
and s.status='ACTIVE'
and s.username=&my_username
and s.username is not nullThe query above will give you information about what the current active sessions are waiting for.
The query below will give you information about all of the wait events a particular session was waiting so far.
select sid
     , event
     , total_waits
     , time_waited
     , average_wait
     , max_wait
from v$session_event
where sid=&my_sid
order by time_waited descBut the information provided by the views and queries above are not going to be useful if you don't understand how to interpret it.
Again, read the documentation, forums, blogs to learn more on how to use Oracle Wait Interface to make your debugging/optimization easier.

IPhoto hanging during import

How do I force iPhoto to close, the App is hanging following an attempted import from iPhone 5c via USB cable. iPhoto is release 9.5.1

Force quit iPhoto via the  ➙ Force Quit menu. Launch iPhoto and try importing from the phone again. If that also fails do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
3 - try importing again from the iPhone.

Aperture hangs on import from iPhone or camera

Since a few weeks I can't import from my iPhone or digital camera anymore.
If I try to import Photos from my iPhone or camera Aperture hangs forever. The Photos should be imported as referenced ones to a folder on a network share on a Mac OS X Server. This works fine, if the Picture source is i.e. a memory card or a HDD. And it has been working with the iPohne and camera before.
What happens is, that Aperture creates a file like "..importing.IMG0815.JPG" with 0 Bytes in the target folder. And than it hangs.
From this point on there is a permanent network traffic, and reasonable CPU load on both Macs (the kernel_task on the client and the AppleFileServer task on the Server). If I delete the "..importing.IMG0815.JPG" file it is instantly recreated. This continues even if I kill the Aperture application. The only way to stop this is to unmount the Network Volume.
Does anyone has an idea what this may cause?

Aperture, Lightroom etc. are all designed to make use of direct import. They are safer than copying your files via the OS tools for the simple reason they access the cards read-only. If you use OS tools to copy then you are accessing the cards read-write which is far more dangerous if something goes wrong.
Culling your images during import saves time and disk space also. Copying your images directly and then importing is a WASTE OF YOUR TIME.
We disagree. Although such apps are indeed "designed" for direct import, my empirical observations since the earliest days of digital imagery have been that interacting indirectly using an app like Aperture is much, much less stable than directly interacting via Finder when properly done. One can peruse literally hundreds of digital image threads including this one to see overwhelming real-world evidence of what I am talking about.

Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
My System:
WinXP Pro SP2
2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
Intel PERL mobo
3GB 400MHz RAM
NVidia 7800GS video
I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
etc) when using any CS3 app.
The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.
footage3.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 112kb/s, 717606 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:
footage4.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Beta2, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 189kb/s Two mono
channels LAME3.96r, 717436 KB.

Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
"planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

Partial update occassionally hangs during wget - admin-op-update

Since we upgraded our ITL and MDEX Windows servers to 2008 R2 Enterprise, once in a while our Partial updates will hang during the wget admin-op-update process. When this happens, the lock is not released and the next Partial update fails to start because of the lock. Each time, I have to release the lock, and then everything is fine until it happens again (about once a week, different times).
We are on MDEX version 6.1.3.
I don't see any errors in the logs; the partialupdate.out file shows the line:
Starting shell utility 'wget_-http-127-0-0-1-17000-admin-op-update-,
then the next line is the start of the next partial update:
Loading beanshell.imports .......
which finally ends in :

INFO: Starting partial update script.
Dec 22, 2012 1:30:08 PM sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl invoke0
WARNING: Failed to obtain lock.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thread: LR3 hangs making 1:1 previews

System: Mac Pro, 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 24 GB ram, set to 64 bits.
Lightroom (3.4.1) library and catalog on dedicated 2T internal HD.
Adobe Camera Raw cache on dedicated 160 GB internal HD, set to 80 GB.
Also PS5 is installed.
Problem: rendering 1:1 previews, even on a small (100) number of files, results in the spinning beach ball after any where from 30 to 60 are rendered.
There are files in the ACR cache, a number more than were rendered. This happens everytime I try to render 1:1 previews, whether during import or after import.
During import all files are imported and then the rendering gets hung.
Any help would be appreciated. The only thing I can think of is reinstalling LR. I've tried optimizing the catalog, verifying the Hard Disks, and defining the ACR cache on another disk.
Also does anyone know of a debugger that will show where the hang is occuring on the application and system levels?

Not sure I can help, but you should note that the cache is not used for rendering previews. It is only used in the develop mode. The previews are rendered in a preview folder which by default is located next to the catalog. Equally reinstalling LR will usually be a pointless waste of time.
Usually slow rendering is down to hard drive problems, such as lack of space, or generally slow drives, which doesn't seem to be the case for you.

Mail hang during large message download

I've noticed several times when I get emails that either exceed the auto download size threshold, or have large attachments on them that Mail will 'hang' during the download. I can exit out of the message but it's still spinning away and won't get any more email from the server.
I'm using a Pop email account. The only fix I've found is to "magic power cycle" the mail app using the sleep button / home key hold down. Once mail starts after this the message will fully download. It's been happening for a while, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't a fluke.
Anyone else run across this & find an easier workaround?
Thanks,

I have been having no end of problems with email since upgrading to 10.5 about a month ago.
Generally, after some time, various activities hang around in the Activity window (such as "evaluating message n of m") and prevent normal email updates and quitting. Neither Apple support nor the local Apple Genius were able to assist. Even reinstalling the OS (10.5.2, 10.5.3, or 10.5.4) and rebuilding the user account manually did not work. I tried running "Sample Process" in Activity Monitor on Mail.app and noticed a lot of "semaphorewait_signaltrap"s that seemed to be related to AddressBook. This led me to the following process which has (at least for now) fixed my problem:
1. Quit (or Force Quit) Mail.
2. In Address Book, use File>Export>Address Book Archive... to dump the contents of the address book.
3. Quit Address Book
4. Rename your ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book folder to something else (in case you want to restore it later)
5. Start Address Book
6. Use File>Import>Address Book Archive... to restore the contents of the address book
It may be voodoo, but it worked for me.

K8N Neo 2 Platinum -- Hanging during boot --RESOLVED--

Heres the problem...
My system will hang during boot at anytime, from bios initalization to full windows boot (No BSOD ever and where the pc hangs in the boot proccess is totally random). And the only way to get past the hang is do a soft reset. I have to restart my system up to 3 times before I get a good boot, but once the pc is up and running, it stay running till I shut it down. (no hangs)
Now if I shut it down after the system has been running for a while, the pc will restart normally without any hangs. The hangs only occur after the pc has been down for a time.
I have reseated all the connectors, the memory (even tried different slots), add-in cards, cpu.
I have a clean install of Windows XP Pro (hard drives have been repartitioned and reformatted as NTFS)
All fans are spinning up fine, all temps are within norm, power supply voltages are within norm.
No phsysical signs of bad caps on the system board.
I ran ran Memtest86 for 18 hours striaght with no errors.
Ran CPU stress test with no problems.
No IRQ,DMA,etc conflicts found.
Windows records no errors during a freeze and I have checked for unwanted services/proccess as well.
I have tried min install to no avail.
Bois is retaining its settings (so bios battery is good)
I do not over clock anything. Bios is set to discover all important setting automaticly. (Bios setting are the same now as they were 6 months ago)
I am down to a possible cold solder joint on the system board?
This problem started to occur about a month ago.
If someone has seen this exact problem and has a resolution, well I would appreciate it if you passed along your knowladge
I am down to my last option of RMAing my system board. No. I have not replaced any components due to the fact I don't have extras lieing around nor can I spend the money just to troubleshoot :(

Ok I won't go into all the details of why I missed this but it turns out the northbridge heatsink fan had stopped spinning and thus the hangs during boot due to overheating (hhmmm, when I step back and look at this the symptoms point right to overheating).
This also expains why after several attempts at booting up, once the pc was up it would run like a champ. The chip would of course overheat and cause random freezes. Now due to the placement of the chip and the design of the heatsink once there was enough airflow over the heatsink the chip would remain cool enough to prevent further freezing of the system.
What helped to facilitate this is that I have a ducted fan system installed in the bottom of my case which directs a substantal amount of fresh air to the pci slots, the chip set and the AGI slot as well.

Re: itunes 7.5 hangs during cd download preview
Posted: Nov 30, 2007 10:46 PM
I am having the same problem on 2 different G5 Dual PPC systems running 7.5. This occurs when playing commercial (redbook) CDs..... during CD playback iTunes stalls after the 2nd song (usually at time marker 0:02). I have no problem playing back any music already in my iTunes library (99% AIFF format). Something is up with this version! Please correct it asap. thanks.

When I searched I missed this thread: Problem Playing CDs in iTunes 7.5 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1225880&tstart=0 which has the solution/fix. Seems to be the "Use Error Correction when reading audio CDs" setting in the Advanced >Importing iTunes preferences. The other solutions deleted plist files which essentially reset the preferences to default which has Use Error Corrections off.
I am listening to a CD now which did not stall at the normal track location.
I have to confirm that a CD does not stall when ripping(import CD) with the Use Error Correction setting ON.

Tecra S3 - Windows 2000 hangs during reboot

Hello all
I a have a Tecra S3 dual booting Windows XP and 2000, with the proper RAID driver installed for each one.
In Windows 2000, it hangs during any reboot. It is necessary to power the computer off and on in order to complete the reboot.
This problem does not happen in Windows XP and DOS. Is there anybody else using Windows 2000 with this model ?
Thanks,
Rubens

Hi
Well, its not easy to say why this issue occurs. I assume that you have installed the W2k from the original Windows CD. In this case its very important that you install the Toshiba driver, tools and utilities in the right order.
On the Toshiba download page I have found a installation instruction for W2k. This list gives you a information about a right driver installation. Please check this document.

     the directory /usr/sap/trans/log.
A prerequisite of the Support Package Manager is that the Change and
Transport System (CTS) is configured correctly. For more detailed
information, read the online documentation available from Help -> SAP
Library -> mySAP Technology Components -> SAP Web Application Server ->
Change and Transport System .
A list of the most important SAP Notes for Online Correction Support
(OCS) is available in SAP Note 97620, which is updated regularly.

Hi Jan,
First, check whether your STMS is configured properly. Next check the transport directory and the transport tool from within STMS (system -> check in menu options).
If these 2 are ok, then you might check from within the OS layer by manually adding to buffer (tp add to buffer <Request No> <SID>).
Also, I am assuming you are doing this from client 000 with a non-standard user having proper authorizations.
I believe this to be an issue of permissions at the OS layer.

Siva
