Multiple Crashes, Gray Thumbnails

Wow, am I having problems with version 7.01. first, could not import a simple I movie hd project of less than five mins of movie. Second, crashed at least ten times will importing movie files from my hard drive. third, would crash while generating thumbnails and the final third of my clips were in gray, no thumbnail at all. This software sure seems to be very buggy to me! I am running this on a macbook, and just simple video clilps from my digital camera. I could not run a voiceover with any precision, and all I wanted to do was post a short clip up to my web gallery..
feed back appreciated.
Paul
ps. wonder if I would have better luck using a real minidv cam.

I am not sure why it crashed in the first place. I remember I tried to import some video clips. When I switched between the projects and doing other things, I think iMovie crashed. Then, when I returned to the application, most of the previously imported clips turned gray. iMovie tried to re-create those thumbnails without any success. Finally, it crashed again - over and over again. The movie clips themselves were fine when I viewed the original .dv clips in their folders. I think the thumbnails were corrupted and iMovie went into an endless loop and decided to crash. This is a major bug in the software and it has happened to be rather frequently. I think I have the solution but hopefully Apple will fix that in future updates.

  • Ugh tI have gray thumbnails of my photos. I cannot find my photos through the finder. what do I do?

    I have gray thumbnails of my photos. I cannot find my photos through the finder. what do I do?

    I have gray thumbnails of my photos. I cannot find my photos through the finder.
    Gray thumbnils:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the options to rebuild the thumbnails. It may take three or four goes to work.
    Finding the Photos through the Finder.
    It's not supported. Accessing the files via the Finder can lead to a corrupted Library.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • MULTIPLE crashes on G5 IMacs

    I work at a veterinary hospital with 5 IMac G5's, a mac mini, and a G5Tower. We have had multiple crashes with all 5 of our IMacs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the crashes. Generally speaking, they occur after we shut them down. Upon restart, they show various error icons - spinning wheels under the apple icon with the fan running at top speed or the flashing folder/?.
    I have tried the disk utility to try to recover them. Only about once or twice have I been able to repair the drive. Sometimes the hard disk isn't even there to try and repair.
    I used to take the IMacs to the Apple Store, but all they did was erase the hard drive and reinstall OS, so I started doing that on my own. The frustrating part is that this happens about every 2 weeks.
    We are running OS 10.3.9, MS Office for Macs, Osirix and DVMax. I know many places that run Osirix and DVMax with no problems, so I don't feel this is a software issue. We keep our computers on 24/7 since they are on a network. The mac mini and the G5 tower have never had any such problems.
    Will repairing the permissions or the disk with disk utility on a regular basis help this? Does anyone have any other suggestions? I have never, ever seen this happen with computers before.

    Judith,
    When my iMac began slowing down, and sometimes acting just plain strangely, found that running any of the following utilities kept it in great shape (in particular, I was having the utilities run the Unix maintenance scripts. These scripts try to run automatically between 3:30 and 5:30 am. If your computer is asleep, or off, they won't run):
    Yasu: http://www.jimmitchelldesigns.com/software.html
    Onyx: http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Macaroni (automates the process): http://www.atomicbird.com/
    Macaroni is about $8, and the one I primarily use because of it's automation.
    Are you running any anti-virus software, such as Norton? It has been known to cause problems.
    Do you have USB devices connected to your computers (such as a USB Hub)? If so, try disconnecting the devices, power them down, power them up, reconnect them, and see how the computers run... I've noticed that after power surges or power failures, my USB devices cause more problems to my computer than anything else.
    Check the application "Font Book" Do you have duplicate fonts indicated? (the bulleted ones). If so, highlight them, and Edit>Resolve Duplicates. (Duplicate fonts caused problems with restarts and logout/login for me).
    Hope this helps a little.

  • Multiple crashes and computer restarts required?

    During the past week, I've experienced multiple crashes on my Macbook Pro  (Spring 2011 model). Upon opening programs (Mail, Safari, iPhoto - not necessarily at the same time or session), the program suddenly closes - either before its even opened or during it use. I've also received messages that my computer needs to be restarted - again, either at the initial powering on stage (right after entering my login password) or while i'm in the middle of a program an hour later? All these scenarios have occurred multiple times during the past week?? And seems to have coincided with a recent automatic Apple system software update so i'm suspicious that that may be the cause??
    Any thoughts on the cause or solution? I bought my computer new in Jan 2012 but the 90 day tech support has expired. Without AppleCare, will the Apple store (or Best Buy where i bought it) help me fix this at no charge?
    Help!! Thanks in advance!

    Your warranty is for one year, so Best Buy should repair it under the warranty assuming there is something that needs repairing.
    You may have a software incompatibility problem at work. You have been experiencing kernel panics so a first start would be to look at a panic log to see what it tells us. We can try diagnosing everything until the problem is tracked down or you can go the extreme route which is to backup your data, erase the drive, and reinstall OS X.
    For the former visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Also seeOS X- How to log a kernel panic. Then post the panic log here so we can see what it tells us.
    I would also suggest you try booting into Safe Mode and see if your computer's problems cease. If they don't then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?

    The panic was caused by "SecureAnywhere." I suggest you back up all data and then remove the software according to the developer's instructions. Reboot and see whether there's an improvement. If there isn't, post your results.

    Hi there Rlong50,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • PSE 10 Multiple crashes on Windows 7 & restore hangs up

    multiple crashes of Photoshop Elements 10 on Windows 7.  Also, restore gets hung up saying the hard drive or flash drive used needs new firmware installed.  Any ideas?

    Refer the following links related to troubleshooting backup/restore in photoshop elements:

  • Anyone experiencing multiple crashes since installing yosemite? I use logic 9 software most of the time for recording.

    Hi, Im experiencing multiple crashes on my macbook pro. I have recently (past 2 weeks) installed yosemite. Could this have something to do with it?
    I use logic pro 9 all day every day but am finding it very difficult to record with a constantly unstable mac! It just cuts out and restarts itself.
    Any ideas?
    Mike.

    Mike, I would say Yosemite has -everything- to do with it. Logic 9 has several known problems with Yosemite.
    You should not upgrade the OS without first checking boards like this one, the only solution for Logic 9 users is to roll back the operating system to whatever you were using that was stable. (Logic-X isn't so great in Yosemite either).
    Because stability is important to me I'm using Snow Leopard and Logic 9,1,5, and my upgrade to Logic 9.1,5 was only a few month ago.

  • I only see gray thumbnails in Library.

    I jusr downloaded Lightroom 3.  When Importing files, all I get are gray thumbnails.  The data on the photos seems to be there.

    There are usually 2 causes for this kind of symptom:
    Corrupt monitor profile:
    Re-calibrate your monitor or temporarily assign an sRGB profile to your monitor to see if it helps.
    Correupt previews
    Rename the [catalogname] Previews.lrdata (as in LRDATA) folder and let LR build new previews. If it helped, delete the renamed folder.

  • FCP X Update 10.0.8 results in Multiple Crashes

    HW=iMac 24inch Early2009, 8GB RAM; OSX 10.7.5
    Made the mistake of updating FCP X to latest version 10.0.8, was having NO issues with previous build, was actually becoming happy with its stability given its shaky start a while back... Now, I can't even do something as simple as add text overlay to a video clip without crashing... Unbelievable!! I'm going to have to fall back to my old fateful Final Cut Express to just get this one job done quickly... Nice Job apple, now I have to trouble shoot your SW again... Sorry community, just had to vent...
    Anybody seeing the same issue... Seriously, I have a 4 min clip I'm just trying to add text to, and I've already had 3 crashes in the app in a span of 15 mins... Only thing that has changed is I updated to latest build of FCP X
    Very VERY frustrating

    Thanks Russ H, I do seem recalling I did that previously with one of the earlier builds, way back when crashes were much more common in FCP X... For the life of me I can't remember the SW I used last time to reset the preferences to defaults.. I have done that again with the suggested SW... Honestly, I needed to get the video done ASAP, so I haven't done much follow up... But following the preference reset, I WAS able to at least hastily added two text overlays without FCP crashing immediately, which is what I was facing even after doing several SW and System Reboots following the update to 10.0.8... Apple has received multiple Crash reports from me today for this issue <smiling> Hopefully it's just me, and not a bunch of others,  
    I'll continue to trouble shoot On Monday... Pardon my previous rant... It is just so very discouraging when the previous evening everything is working well, and you simply apply an update, and your SW begins to act up...

  • Gray Thumbnails

    Lightroom 3 seems to lose track of my files and I get gray thumbnails in the directory instead of images.  When this happens, things slow down to less than a crawl.  When I check the problem images in explorer I notice that they don't have XMP files.  I tried moving all of the images with thumbs to a new directory and removed all the gray thumb images from lightroom.  I was able to reimport them with thumbs.  When I attempted to merge the images that were originally ok with the reimported problem images, I found that some of the formerly good files now didn't contain xmp files.   I've backed up and optimized.   Everything worked fine in the Beta - but I've had nothing but trouble since I loaded the production version.

    To answer the questions, these are jpegs and they show as missing in "Develop".
    They should also be missing in the 'Library' module, or you have some serious issues. Lightroom uses a database system that keeps track of many things, inculding the location of files on your hard drive. When you "move" or "delete" files and/or subfolders outside of LR (i.e. using Window Explorer), they still remain in LR's database. This is why you see the '?' on the thumbnails.
    The best advice I can give you is to only move, delete, or rename files and folders inside Lightroom. There is a very good online LR 3 User Manual here:

  • Console logging multiple crashes with name "systemstatsd" (Mavericks)

    Ever since installing mavericks on my macbook pro ( mid 2009 ) , system keeps freezing every few minutes ( every 2 minutes ). It stays frozen for about 2 minutes. Doesn't matter what Application I am using ... its the same ( hang after a few minutes ).
    I looked at Console app ( it itself has shows as not responding on Activity Monitor when I try to look at the crash reports ). Its been logging multiple crash reports under the name " systemstatsd " .... I have over 50 crash reports by now.
    Here is a copy of what is inside those crash reports:

    Few more things I tried:
    Verify disk (Macintosh HD) --- it failed
    Repair disk --  I repaired it after verify disk failed
    Problem is still there repairing disk didn't do anything
    Please help

    Same problem with constant systemstatsd crashes - every 4 mins or so.
    Computer is freezing for only a second or two each time.
    Clean install of Mavericks 10.9.1 on a mac mini server Macmini4,1
    Verify / repair disk revealed no problems.

  • Crashing on Thumbnail Rendering

    Aperture 2.1.1 will crash on the same image it's trying to render a thumbnail of every single time.
    After importing 16,000 images, thumbnail rendering will pause at #5902, the spinning "beach ball" appears, then Aperture closes and shows me the crash log.
    I've repaired Permissions, rebuilt the database(Option+Command>Launch), trashed the entire import and associated preference file and tried three times to reimport with identical results. Aperture crashes at thumbnail #5902. I can reopen Aperture but it automatically resumes Thumbnail creation and will crash soon thereafter. I have not found a way to stop Aperture from rendering thumbnails on a restart.
    I have reviewed the crash log but failed to find a referenced image which might be causing this problem. I'm now running out of ideas of how to fix Aperture on this machine. I have a nearly identical set of images on an Intel iMac 2.8 GHz, 4Gb RAM and Aperture runs brilliantly on it. I'm hoping someone has a fresh perspective that can lead me to a stable install of Aperture on my iMac G5.
    Thanks!
    BACKGROUND: The troublesome Aperture install is on an older iMac 2.0 G5 without the built in iSight. It has 2Gb of RAM, 250Gb HD. Before importing the 16,000 images, I performed a HD reformat and new install of Leopard, patched to 10.5.4, then installed and patched to Aperture 2.1.1. I use this iMac in a backup location and unfortunately I'm not at that location now, though I will be next week. This iMac has had several "issues" in the past, power supply failure, a graphics board failure, and a hard drive failure (all fixed under warranty). It has always run hot when working hard, such as thumbnail rendering, often peaking at 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Apple tells me this temperature is normal. I've run Apple's memory tests in the past with passing results.
    Message was edited by: Edsel

    Well, I have now:
    • Performed a consistency check
    • deferred the thumbnails and manually rebuilt them
    Neither of which worked, but did recover me about 300mb of space.... I'm now rebuilding the library, but it looks like it will take about 3 hours to do that. I hope it works.... I cant tell which of the photos is bad and should be gotten rid of.
    +(In a side note, I'm going to try to go through my old photos and start getting rid of the real duffers, I think a 700gb library is too chunky. I've had some bad house-keeping habit develop.)+
