My IMovie keeps freezing everytime i open it?

Everytime I click to open my iMovie, the application opens, and then after a couple second it freezes, and it says 'application not responding' when I right click on the icon to force quit it....
What is wrong? how can i fix this?
Thank-you in advance!

Reinstalling is probably not the solution
what version of iPhoto?
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

  • My Macbook pro keeps freezing everytime I open Spotify or Steam. Has never done this before, help?

    So every time I try to open Spotify or Steam (a video game application) my computer becomes unresponsive to everything but the mouse. I can move the mouse around but nothing is clickable. It just started doing this yesterday and those are two applications I use very frequently so if someone could please help that'd be great! I've already tried the command alt P R thing and safe mode with no luck.

    I have this problem too! It *****, because I LOVE GAMING! D:

  • Quicktime freezes everytime I open it. Windows don't close. How do I fix this?

    Quicktime freezes everytime I open it. Windows with previously watched videos keep opening. When I close them, and when the only one I wish to watch is left, it freezes and I have to force quit. A window of that video is then added to the many that open upon starting up next time.

    Here's a few things I try when an app misbehaves and crashes.
    1. Quit the app and restart it like this: Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it work like normal.
    2. If the first suggestion did not work try quitting the app again but instead of restarting it right away, reset your device like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Ten restart the app and see if it works.
    3. If neither of the previous suggestions worked I suggest deleting the app by tapping and holding on the app until it jiggles and displays a Rex X. Tap the X and confirm that you want to delete the app. Then reset your device. After the device has restarted go to the App Store and download Facebook again.
    If all these fail you might just have to search for an alternative app until Facebook fixes the problem.

  • IMovie keeps freezing on editing

    I just got my macbook pro a week ago, brand new but for the past few days my iMovie keeps freezing up whenever i try to edit a video, or scroll through a clip. I can't use the option-command-escape to force quit because it doesn't work, and i can't click on any of the other apps or icons. The only way was to hold down the power button and restart my laptop. Even after restarting, it still does the same thing, freezes up in the middle of editing or scrolling, then i have to shut down and restart my laptop again. I've googled for ways to deal with it but none of them seem to work. Can someone please tell me how to fix it? I had no problems editing, importing and exporting from my old macbook white, and neither from my new macbook pro in the beginning but it's getting really frustrating that i have to reboot every single time and i feel like that would ruin the laptop as it's brand new.

    Bengt W,
    I appreciate your help.  Yes, all my photo and videos are originating from iPhoto '11 (that is how my camera imports).  I did exactly as you describe above and I was able to complete the movie and make a DVD that I needed for Christmas?   SO that was great.  And I greatly appreciate your time and efforts to make that happen. 
    However, we are back to the same problems and nothing seems to fix these movies now and they are still doing the same thing described above.  I am so discouraged that I just have not done anything more until recently.
    Yesterday, iPhoto just disappeared.  I had iMovie open overnight.  The next day the iPhoto icon had a circle with a diagonal line and when I clicked on the icon "Damaged or corrupted ..." was the message.  I checked Finder and there was no longer an iPhoto application!   I reinstalled iPhoto from my DVD and did updates but only got to version 9.2.3.  Then I noted in the Apple store there is a version 9.4.2.  But I cannot get that version because it requires OS 10.7.5 but I have 10.6.8.  Similar problem with iMovie, I have version 9.0.4 and the newest is 9.0.8. 
    I have watched the "reviews" of these new OS, iPhoto, and iMovie.   They are getting hammered by users with a wide range of problems and low ratings.  If that were not the case I would just pay the money and see if upgrading the OS and these apps would help.  Frankly, I don't have any confidence it would.  I about to declare my two year experiment with Apple as a failure and that is very sad because I've invested hundreds of hours trying to make/keep their software working.   Ultimately the market place will decide but recent user feedback sure seems to point to some ugly outcomes.   Sorry for my rant but Apple should not impose on folks like you who are so giving to overcome their product shortcomings.

    You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.

    How much free storage space is available on your iPod Touch?
    When restoring your iPod Touch with iTunes, did you restore from the backup for the iPod Touch or as a new iPod Touch?
    If the former and the problem lies with the data included with the backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.

  • HELP...iMovie keeps freezing...

    How big is too big for a file on the old iMovie...I'm working on a Team Highlight Tape at a High School and the banquet is only a few days away...I have a 35 minute video complete with transitions, music, everything...It's fantastic, only now it wont play properly and keeps freezing up...Everything has been rendered as best as I know...
    Is it simply too large of a file with videos and music??? (I do have 76GB available according to the bottom of the iMovie Folder)
    HELP...Thank You...

    I have had a similar problem and found the skipping, jerky playback (images, not audio) happened only with certain downloaded audio tracks (there must be code or something embedded in some music, even if it is downloaded from iTunes; this happened consistently with the group Hapa). My cue that this was going to happen was the length of time it took to download a selection from my iTunes library. Most tracks take less than a minute - but Hapa, for instance, took 4 or more! The music would play fine, but my video was erratic. All I had to do was change the music and everything would work fine.

  • Macbook freezes everytime I open the finder or use spotify! Really only happens when I scroll down past downloads folder, advice?

    My Macbook 3.1 freezes eveytime I open the finder and scroll down to the downloads folder. I was attempting to clean out my mail downloads and all the stuff that seems to accumulate there so the folder is open. As soon as I go near it the whole things freezes up! The funny thing is that when I open the finder its fine so long as I stay clear of that folder or any of the items in it. Any advice? Am running 10.5.8 and would like to upgrade, that is why I was clearing files!

    Office 2008 isn't exactly "clean". Office loves to install all sorts of fonts, and always because it is such a big application, it needs patches to work properly. Get the latest patches from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/
    Or get an alternative application*:

  • IMovie Keeps Freezing On MacBook Pro

    I am using a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch and running iMovie on Mountain Lion. When I open iMovie and scroll through my imported videos the rainbow cursor (sorry I dont know the correct name) appears and I can't do anything until it goes away. Why does this happen? How can I increase the performance of my MacBook to stop it freezing?
    P.S I only have iMovie running when editing videos (nothing else is open)
    Please help guys, It would be greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Usually, when my vintage (as in, bought in 2006) MBP did that, it was because it was overheating, as you suspect. Now, you've got yourself a brand-new machine, and I'm sure there are many posts in this forum related to that issue.
    There's one thing you can do (this one is two-fold, actually), and one you can't:
    1) Starting with the good news, you can install a prefpane called Fan Control (free, here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23137/fan-control), that will let you control base speed and temp threshold for your fans (the ones on your Mac, I mean...); additionally, you can also install a widget called iStat Pro (free, here: http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/), that you can invoke through Dashboard after freezing your game, so that it lets you know the current temperature your Mac is operating under.
    2) Now, for the (semi-) bad news: given your MBP probably has an "i-something" processor, you won't be able to install this Scandinavian gem that's called CoolBook, that lets you undervolt your logic board so as to prevent overheating. CoolBook currently doesn't support i-3 to i-7 processors because they don't rely on the same SMB sensors as the older Intel processors Apple installed in its machines prior to the current generation of MacBooks, MBP, MBA and the like. I said semi-bad news, because undervolting has obvious effects on your machine's response when under strain; if you are using processor- or memory-intensive applications, they might (scratch that, they will) be slowed down by an undervolted logic board. Video games being one.
