Project file won't open. I just get the spinning loading symbol but it never opens.

I am working on a school project video. The app was working great for about a week. Now when i click on the play button of my project file, i get the spinning loading symbol and the video never play or opens. If I right click on the project file in the left side column, sometimes it will play, but i cannot open it to work on it. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Didn't help. Thanks.

Probably corrupted project file. Do you have a saved or auto-saved version of the project on disc somewhere?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Are all three libraries under your account or are they in different accounts? Any other errros on the system?

Final Cut Pro3 won't startup, I just get the beachball!

Can anyone tell me why my Final Cut Pro 3 won't startup under System OSX 10.3.9? It worked under 10.2.x but I haven't used in in a year or more and since upgrades to 10.3.9 the program won't startup. I just get the spinning beachball. I've re-installed it but still the same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Jag11

What updates have you done to your system in the last year? Anything that would make your system a compatible configuration no longer?
While you mention that you've re-installed, have you specifically trashed your preferences for FCP 3? (Re-installing rarely tends to do much good on a Mac. Trashing preferences is usually a better bet. Not to mention a whole lot faster.)

2 medical softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install but IExplorer succeded

Hello,
We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
Thanks

I am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
Sorry I was not precise...
When the file should open,
for one application an error is happening,
for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening in adobe reader window...
If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
But something seems not finish for the medical softwares...

Just get the spinning ball all the time in FCP

When I use Final Cut Pro (newest update) I get the spinning ball all the time when I do ordinary things like dobbleclicking a videoclip (DVCpro HD) or a sequence.
If I try to force quit FCP it seems like it quits, the report problem to Apple screen appears, but I have to force shutdown the whole computer, because even after I have force quit FCP, it still appears like it is running in the dock, and I am not able to start it again before I have restartet the computer.
I had this problem earlier, so yesterday I formated and reinstalled the whole system, but the problem continues. Its quite frustrating that I cant use Final Cut Pro on my new MacBook pro, 2,4GHZ, 4GB ram.

My macbook pro won't boot, I just get the apple logo but no progression.

P.S. (pre script)
I'm in the UK
I think my macbook's Hard-drive is capooot, here's my symptoms, windows takes 10-15 minutes to boot and when it does every program I open becomes non responsive every 20 seconds or so, so it's unusable. I've tried playing Arma 2 (which use to run fine) and windows gives me an error about cyclical redundancay checks failing (which is apparenty a HD error) and OSX boot at all (I've been waiting 2 hrs and it won't get past the apple logo). when OSX did boot some of my apps in launch pad didn't have a logo on them (presumablly because they didn't load).
anywho, I ran a disc fragmentation analysis in windows (despite not trusting windows to fix any of my problems ) and it said 22% fragmented but I only installed windows about a week ago (and have only 1 7GB file I think).
I have had troubles installing windows and have had to re-install it twice, each with progressivly more trouble, 1st time, bootcamp installed it for me (easy!). 2nd, bootcamp couldn't partition it, however disc utility managed it . 3rd time, neither could partition it (probably due to fragmentation I presume) so I had to back up OSX, erase my HD, partition it, install OSX, restore OSX files, install windows 7.
Anyway, does this appear to be a HD problem? My mac is about 8 months old so I still have 28 months left of my warranty (I got a free 3 year warranty because I'm a student, top tip people ) So what do I do to hopefully get a replacement HD? WHAT'S THE NUMBER? (I capslocked because the thing is long and that's the main point).
I've tried the express lane thingy but the page doesn't load when I enter my serial number (I've even downloaded safari on my mum's computer to see if it'll load on that) :/

The three beeps mean, I think, self-test has found memory problems.

Why won't my iMac boot? Just get the spinning wheel. Need suggestions

My iMac 4,1 (probably around 2006 vintage, 24" screen) won't boot. I get a white screen with the Apple logo and a spinning wheel I've let it sit for an hour and it never will move on to boot the system. I am running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.8) and can't upgrade further because of Intel Core Duo 32 bit processor.
To top it off, I thought that maybe putting the installation cdrom into the drive would have it boot to that drive and then I could run some diagnostics. It won't boot to that either and now I don't know how to get the cdrom out.
This iMac it too old for Apple to repair. Any suggestions? I need it for a second system to run along side my MBP.
Thanks for your help.

The first iMac with a 24" screen was released in September 2006 and is a model 6,1. No model 4,1 was available with a 24" screen. The last Model 4,1 iMacs had a 20" screen and was released in January 2006. The maximum OS for it was Snow Leopard. It is considered Obsolete.
You need to reinstall Snow Leopard which can be done without erasing the drive (assuming the drive is OK.) You do need to boot from a Snow Leopard DVD. Can you get the installer DVD to mount on the Desktop? How did you try booting from the DVD? Did you do this:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
      logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

I've just subscribed to Photography CC and the applications won't install on my desktop computer. Just get the spinning gear. What's wrong/

I've subscribed to Creative Cloud Photography and the "Apps" window in Creative Cloud has been showing the spinning gear icon for two days. Still no Photoshop or Lightroom. They both installed on my laptop and I'm trying to install them now on my desktop. Is that the problem? Can you install the programs on both of my computers?

App doesn't open | Progress wheel spins continually

Iphoto will not open I keep getting the spinning wheel

My wife's MacBook is out of space and she had 70gb of photos on it. It's operating under OS-10.5.8 Iphoto-8.1.2. I threw her iphoto library on an external and copied them on to my mac mini desktop (mac mini is current version on OS and Iphoto.) I dragged her library into my iphoto and and it asked to bring the photos to current version and did a repair. Once everything copied over I went to open iphoto and it won't open so I have to force quit it. I tried restarting the mini with no luck.

Option 1
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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When I open iphoto I get the spinning rainbow pinwheel,

I cant click on anything. I waited 10+ for it to load properly. Ive also restarted my laptop several times. I end up having to force quit it everytime. Help!

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

IMac won't start; I only get the spinning wheel

iMac (probably 3 to 4 years old)------I don't think this is an Intel.
I have a password to enter upon turning on iMac
What I did:
I backed up my files on an external drive.
I ejected the external drive & unplugged it from the iMac.
Selected Shut Down. Screen went blue (I think) then did NOT shut down. I waited 10 minutes or so. Still didn't shut down.
I pressed power button to shut off. Waited a few minutes then turned on. The grey screen with Apple logo and spin wheel appeared and that's as far as I can get.
I tried turning off and on but never got past the Apple logo/spin wheel.
I unplugged power, mouse and keyboard, replugged them in. Turned on but still no luck.
I hope you can help.

it sounds very much like your hdd has died, however, if it has, at least you have the good fortune to have backed up your system.
try booting by holding the alt key. if you can get to utilities perhaps you will have a better understanding of what is going on there.
the reason you cannot get past the spinning wheel is that the mac cannot access the startup volume which is your hdd.
if this is the case then dont be too disheartened, take this opportunity to consider a ssd for your machine it will give it an especially good new lease of life.

Project file won't open. I just get the spinning loading symbol but it never opens.
