Premiere Elements 7 keeps crashing when trying to import video from webcam, can i fix it? :s

I'm running it on my Sony Vaio laptop I got as a desktop replacement, specs aren't a problem, it runs perfectly with anything I do except for when I try to import video footage from my webcam under Get Media From.. Webcam or WDM Device. Every time I try, it just crashes. The webcam is built into the laptop and works just fine on any other program.
Any help would be very much appreciated

Welcome to the forum.
What is the format of those Webcam files?
Also, along with the format, it would be useful to know the CODEC used by the capture software. The great, free utility, G-Spot, should be able to give you that info. Here's look at the G-Spot screen, w/ an AV file loaded:
Good luck,

Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer Crashing When Trying To Import Photos

Just downloaded and started using PSE 12 Editor and Organizer about a week ago. (An upgrade fron PSE11). Today for whatever reason, when trying to import any file, say from my desktop or a download foler, the list of locations to import appears for a second, then disappears. I am unable to do any other action and have to quit or force quit. In PSE Editor, I am able to open a file, but when trying to save it, I get an error that "Could not complete your request due to a Program Error". I use a Mac and just recently upgraded to OS Maverick. Anyone having the same issue or can suggest a potential fix? I also tried using PSE 11 and run into the same problem. Thanks.

It's very important to delete the existing preferences on upgrading to Mavericks.
You want
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
and then for the organizer anything like com.Adobe.Elements Organizer.12.0.plist. You'll find at least two files with the number for the organizer entered differently.
Those files are all in your user>library>preferences folder. Here's how to see it in 10.9:
http://www.cultofmac.com/251544/mavericks-makes-it-way-easier-to-access-your-library-folde r-os-x-tips/
While you're in there go to the Saved Application States folder and clean out anything related to PSE.
Repair permsisions and try again.

IPhoto '11 keeps crashing when trying to import to library

Hello,
May I ask for some assistance please. For some reason tonight when I open iPhoto and try to import photos it keeps crashing. I was able to import about 30-40 photos from a CD before this started to occur. I have included the crash log below. Grateful for any advice?

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.

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.

Mail crash when trying to import inbox from thunderbird

hey,
i am trying to convert all my operations to native programs, i am currently using ThunderBird as my mail client but want to move over to mail. when i go to import my inbox i manage to find it and when it starts to import it crashes! i am assuming it is because i have over 4,500 e-mails that are split over to folders about even. i want to know how can i solve this, basically all i want is to open up mail and have everything there not in a separate folder that has all my imported e-mails, i want it as if i have been using mail from the start.
all help would be appreciated

Hi Farid Shahin.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described in the following article, in case there is something amiss in the filesystem:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
You’d get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion.
Eudora Mailbox Cleaner requires rebuilding the imported mailboxes in Mail afterwards. Instead of rebuilding them one by one, you can re-create the entire index as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1. Any ideas on why ?

iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1. Any ideas on why ?
iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

FCPX has suddenly started crashing when trying to import media

I updated FCPX to 10.0.8 a couple of weeks ago and everything has been fine until today (I'm fully updated with Mountain Lion as well) . Now every time I try to import media, FCPX crashes. This occurs right after I hit the "Import Selected" button -- and occurs regardless of type of media, where I'm importing it from, or how many clips. I get a very long error message -- I've attached just the first part of it (through Thread 0) below. The entire error message runs through Thread 37.
The only thing I did right before this happoened was to delete some old unused applications that were not even on the system HD (they were on a different internal HD - drive A). The applications included very old versions of Final Cut and iMovie that had not been opened in a couple of years. After I did this, FCPX suddenly started to recognize another internal HD (drive C) as a camera for the first time, and tried to import a bunch of old home movies, which it has never done before. And ever since then it started crashing when trying to import new media -- even after I "ejected" drive C.
Any ideas? I'm at a total loss and in the middle of a big project for a client, and could really use some help. Thanks!

I'th Mountain Lion as well. *and FCPX 10.0.7

Update: the problem is definitely with the internal HD "drive C". Before restarting FCPX after the last crash I unmounted the C drive -- then restarted FCPX and was able to import media just fine. I thought I had tried this already, but I guess not.
So, what did I change with my C drive when I deleted the old apps off my A drive? There is both an iMovie events and projects folder on the C drive -- but FCPX has never tried to import them until after I deleted the old iMovie app (I still have the most recent version of iMovie on my system drive -- but have never used it to open these old folders). I read on another thread on this forum that if I "hid" these folders, FCPX would not try to recognize them, so I moved them to within another folder on the same drive -- but FCPX is still trying to recognize and show them when the Import Media window is launched -- and still shows the C drive as a camera.
So, what can I do to stop this from happening?
Thanks!

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?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- 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.

Run time error when trying to import bookmarks from firefox

When trying to import bookmarks from Firefox to Safari I get the following error message: "Run Time Error. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." Safari does not function anymore and I have to close it. Can somebody help me? I am using a PC with Windows 7.

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).
* The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
* The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
* The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.
Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.

When trying to import videos off of a CD I continually get error code -36 on one of the videos. How can I fix this?

When trying to import videos off of a CD I continually get error code -36 on one of the videos. How can I fix this?

Contact Apple and request a 10.4 or possibly a 10.5 distribution disk for this system, if you've not obtained that DVD disk from the seller.
Boot and use that distribution disk to wipe the hard disk via Disk Utility, and to then reinstall OS X.
Best to start with a fresh installation of OS X, as that'll provide the default environment and not something that's been customized and extended by the previous owner.
The last OS X version that was supported for most PowerMac G5 systems was 10.5.8, and that would be preferable — if your Mac supports that.
If you're not sure which Mac you have, then use the  > About This Mac from the menu and request more information on the system. You're looking for a model number listed there, and that'd be something like PowerMac7,3 or PowerMac11,2 for a ~2005-vintage PowerMac system. Whatever model number you have can then be used to determine the general specs for the configuration, and what the last version of OS X that was supported for the system.
