  • Lightroom 2.6 freezes when trying to export images

    I have been using LR successfully on a Windows XP machine for several years and using version 2.6 for the past several weeks . As of a few days ago, LR would freeze when trying to export images. The export functions of 'Export with Previous' and 'Export with Preset' seem to work without crashing LR but most of my exporting needs me the ability to adjust the export settings. Any advise?

    I would guess LR only goes by drive-letter so if you've kept that the same it should be ok.  Look for something else.
    I would look in your Lightroom Preferences files to see if there is any drive letter that no longer exists.
    On Vista/Win7 my LR prefs file is in:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    XP has something similar under C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings (or Application Data)
    If you open that file in a simple text-editor like NotePad then about halfway down (at least in mine) there are some export-related things that include the drive-letter and path on your hard-drive to various folders.  You can find it by searching for:
    AgMRUPopupList_AgExport_destinationFolderPathPrefix
    Look through those and see if any of the drive-letters or paths are wrong and look around for other paths.  The paths will contain
    or
    instead of \ because the low-level language routines LR is written with need it that way so if you change anything, keep the number of slashes consistent.
    It could very well be that there is nothing wrong with any of the paths, so another approach would be to rename or move your preferences file to see if LR will recreate it with defaults for everything, and see if that clears up the lockups. 
    Whether you decided to edit or rename your preferences file, please make a backup copy so you can put it back in case something even worse happens and you need it back.

  • My Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.

    AMy Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.> Hi. Was hoping someone could help me. I brought a creative zen x-fi and half of the times i tried to delete a track or album it would freeze, i'd reset it and the track or album was not deleted. I sent it back and brought a new one however my new one does the same except more, about 8 out of 0 times when i try to delete a track or album it freezes. It doesn't seem to have any problems deleting anything else e.g photos, videos. I looked on the support section of the site and it mentioned that the player could keep freezing if there were corrupted files. Pleae could someone tell me what exactly this mean? (i'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to things like this ) All the music on my player is from ripped cds or what was already on the laptop or player to begin with, so could there be any corrupted files from those?

    Nvm,the cleanup works Thanks man

  • Wireless Printer keep freezing when trying to connect to network

    I have a HP Officejet Pro L7780 All In One and it keeps freezing whenever I try to connect it to the network via Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer control panel. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software but it asks for me to connect my network through Wireless Setup Wizard which I can't do. Please help me. This is urgent. Can you please try and use layman (simple) terms when replying as my knowledge on printers and laptops are not that great. 

    Hi @Zo_e178 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you are experiencing connectivity issues.  I would like to help!
    I would recommend performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Program keeps freezing when trying to change library or restore ipod.

    Having problems since updating like everyone else! Was missing files, etc.
    I am trying to change the library location in preferences, but the program locks up when it is opening the window. Also freezing when I try to add a folder to the library.
    I tried to restore my ipod on the summary page and same problem, opening window and it freezes. I have now reformatted my ipod and am trying to start fresh. Even reinstalled software, but no luck.
    Help!

    Me too .. very frustrating, spent the last 3 hrs looking for solutions.
    Also noticed Apple has suspended downloads of itunes 6 for the time being ... wondering if its a related bug.

  • Ever since I downloaded ios7, my iPhone 4s keeps freezing when trying to connect to wifi. Help?

    My iPhone 4s keeps freezing whenever I try to connect to wifi. It either won't even open wifi, and when it does, it'll freeze as soon as wifi is open. I can force quit the settings area, and it unfreezes the iPhone, but it doesn't fix the settings area, which is still frozen. I have come to points when I can connect to wifi, but it only lasts about 30 seconds before dropping the connection. This happens everywhere, even at home, when I'm right next to the router. What should I do?

    Try resetting your settings. Settings > General > Reset.
    I had this happen shortly after updating and it worked when I reset.
    Doesn't delete anything though.

  • Frustrated! iPod keeps freezing when trying to update

    My 40G iPod keeps freezing whenever I try to update it. I plug it into the computer, iTunes starts but then freezes after a song or two. Sometimes it crashes me whole machine. In any case, I can't add any music to my iPod, rendering it useless. I've seen s imilar posts but no solutions. I installed the latest iPod updater software and am using the latest version of iTunes. Funnily, this problem didn't start until I upgraded to the newest iTunes. Can anyone help? This is very very frustrating.

  • Aperture freezes when trying to export photo

    Everytime I edit a photo in Aperture, the program freezes when I try to export the photo.  Why?  I can't even "force close" the program, I have to turn off the computer!

    I can't even "force close" the program, I have to turn off the computer!
    Try to send a signal from the Terminal, as described in this user tip:
                     If Aperture is unresponsive, how to quit?
    Everytime I edit a photo in Aperture, the program freezes when I try to export the photo.
    What is your Aperture version?
    Have you tried any trouble shooting steps?
    First of all check, if you have enough free disk space for the export. The oprating system needs working space in addition to the size of the of the exported image file. Keep at least 10GB free.
    Where are you exporting to? To a folder on your system drive or an external drive? Do you have write permissions on that folder?
    Try to repair your Aperture library - see this Manual page:
    Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    If repairing the database  does not help, try "repair permissions" as well, and finally "Rebuild".  Make a backup of your library, before trying to rebuild.

  • Program keeps crashing when trying to export video

    I'm running off my motherboard GPU while my graphics card is getting repaired (should be here by next week).  I wanted to know why Premiere keeps shutting down when I'm trying to export.  Is it not supposed to be used without a dedicated graphics card? 
    I need to get a video project done by tomorrow and this is pretty annoying. 

    there are programs like core temp  to find out if the cpu is overheating.  prime95  will test your cpu/mbd/ram, but if you really want to test the ram its best to use memtest86.
    using the h100 is good to help get the heat generated by the cpu out of the case, but still need to have good ventilation from a few case fans. if that cooler isn't working well enough, or its too much heat for the mbd, you can go into the bios and try to under-clock the cpu so it wont run so hot.  if you are using an underpowered or cheap power supply, it wont be able to deliver enough clean power to the system when its under demand.

  • Using iMovie, the error code -50 keeps appearing when trying to export my video, what does this mean?

    Using imovie, I am trying to export a movie however it keeps flashing error code -50 every time I try.  Doesn anyone know what this error means and how I can correct the problem?

    Hi, one thing I discovered was that this error message was being given whenever I tried to export the project into iTunes as a Large file. When I tried to do the same thing in to iTunes as a Mobile or a Medium file it exported fine.
    I tried a workaround which was to recompile the movie again by capturing the video as one file and the audio as another file and then to import them both in to iMovie and combine them as a new project.
    Once this was done, I successfully exported the new project in to iTunes (using the HD format option!).
    I used Quick Time to create both the screen capture and the audio for the above workaround.
    The result was that the file was still a very good quality movie. Perhaps not as good as if iMovie had worked properly, nevertheless, it removed my frustration.
    Furthermore, given that the Medium format movie exported ok, even that could be used to share on other social networking sites such as YouTube.
    Hope that helps.

  • INDD CS5.5 freezes when trying to export IDML

    Hi there,
    For a couple of days I'm trying to Export a 23.2MB INDD file in IDML, but after a few seconds it freezes:
    Adobe InDisign CS5.5 has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
    available.
    I have INDD 7.5.1 running on Windows 7; 64bit.
    Any suggestions?

    I have tried to break up the file and export two pages a time, but in vain.
    Create a new document and go to the Pages panel and choose Move Pages and move your pages to the new document.
    See if that clears it up. If not, try a single page. If it works, when you can narrow to the problem.
    Is there a possibility to cut and past INDD CS5.5 to INDD CS4 ?
    Actually, yes. Select the page elements in CS5 and Export to a Snippet (in fact, you might even be able to drag and drop to CS4...).

  • My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

    Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
    I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
    I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Skype keeps freezing when trying to log in with Mi...

    I always skyped with a good friend of mine, but his laptop had a hardware issue which got fixed recently, so today we tried skyping again but it doesn't work for him anymore. When he opens skype, he clicks on the login with a microsoft account and then Skype just keeps loading and then freezes, he isn't able to log in at all.
    We tried uninstalling the skype and downloading the newest skype and installing that a few times, but the same problem keeps coming up.
    We tried deleting the shared.xml file in appdata, but after that Skype is nowhere to be found on the computer and when he installs skype again the file is back.
    He has windows 8.1, the newest skype and he uses AVG antivirus, it has always worked like that before. I hope someone can help us out.

  • 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.
