Qt freezes during play... constantly

I upgraded to QT 7 and bought Pro, and ever since the image freezes often during play. I have to restart or redownload the movie to get it unstuck; sometimes changing Views (small to full screen) will nudge it. 10.3.9. This happens on both of my computers: dual g5, and ibook.

QuickTime Player is designed to drop frames if the viewing machine can't process the data fast enough.
A two minute file that is 2.8 GB's in file size suggests a data rate that would exceed the playback abilities of nearly any modern machine.

  • Zen Micro Freezes during play and sometimes won't turn on at

    I have been having some issues with my micro and wondered if anyone could help. I didn't drop it or do anything I can recall to cause these issues, it just seemed to start out of the blue. 2 things are happening. Sometimes it will freeze during play and "buzz" (it's really just transmitting a countinuous sound of a millisecond of what it was playing like if the guy was saying apple, and it freezes when he starts to say it it will sound like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" but in a completely illegible buzz way). Second, it will sometimes not turn on at all, no creative logo, no lights, no nothing. Once I take out the battery and replace it, it will always then start no problem. The battery does not seem to be loose at all as the above mentioned buzzin will not stop until I remove the battery, and as I have repeatedly removed the back of the micro during these buzz session?the battery remains firmly seated and the buzzing continues until I remove it. So far I have updated the firmware to 2.2.02 (which I believe reformatted) which didn't stop it from freezing up during play, and just now did a disk clean up (which I can't imagine will have any change?if a complete format didn't). I haven't had the start up problem since the firmware update, but I haven't turned it on and off that many times yet. Any ideas? Sorry to be so verbose but I wanted to explain as best as I could what's wrong, and what I've done so far.

    Remove SIM and miniSD card first. Try to boot.
    The try hooking it up to the PC again. And see if you might be able to redo the update process.
    You can also try a hard reset. As described in a different tread. (Or read below).
    Othervise, I afraid you will have to take it to a Service Center.
    -- Quote from djassa1 (Re: N80 won't start up!)--
    Just reset to factory default.
    You will need your 2 hands to do that: While the phone is off press and hold the [Green call Button] + [3 digit button] + [* button] and power on and hold the powwer button. Do that until the phone asks you for the local city reference.

  • Satellite A660 freezes during playing games and recovery

    I have problem with my Toshiba Satellite A660. Sometimes when I play games it freezes and I can't even move the pointer I all freeze then I have to shut it down with force.
    One time it freezes during a recovery and that what make me worried about it would be a high (amount of money) problem.
    I tried to take it to a what it call itself a Toshiba-service company and they told me that the problem is solved but it didn't.
    So I hope any would help me Im in a bad situation here.

    Hello
    I can also understand you dude and it must be a hardware malfunction if recovery installation from Toshiba recovery disk doesnt work. I mean usually this shouldnt be a problem because this image is pretestd by Toshiba and shouldnt make any problems.
    In your situation I would talk with the service company again. You can ask what they did exactly and if they can check the unit again because you problems with .
    Just explain the situation a little bit.
    As Mike30 wrote, if you play games use high performance power plan and put the notebook on a clean desk to ensure the notebook is getting enough air and the fan will not be blocked.

  • IPOD freezes during play or turns off by itself or the music plays very slo

    hey i had my ipod for almost 2 years now. its worked fine for awhile but recently, when i am playing my music it either
    1) shuts off and turns itself back on
    2) freezes and then the battery bar is reduced to nothing even after i charged it or
    3) while playing music, its sounds really really slow, kind like when cassette tape is messed up or you are playing music really slow.
    what should i do?

    This just started happening to me today. I've had this iPod for about 7 months.
    One thing I can think of, and it might not be much help, but I have not synced my iPod for a long time, since I rebuilt my system.
    I have hesitated because I am afraid I might loss the contents of the iPod, so until I finish watching all my programs, I am hold tight.
    Do you sync your iPod with your system frequently?

    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

  • Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

    I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back.  The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing.  I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help.  Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

    Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
    Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

  • IPod randomly freezes when playing tunes

    My Ipod 30gb randomly freezes during a song. Sometimes it freezes for a few seconds and sometimes it can freeze for a couple of minutes. It then just carries on playing.
    It is not always the same song and can include songs purchased from Itunes as well as CD's downloaded - i.e. it is totally random.
    All of the songs play perfectly on Itunes. I have only about half filled the iPid so am not really in the market to upgrade.
    It has only started doing this about for the last two months.
    Could some dust or something have got into the IPod or could it be a battery issue ( although I try to keep it at full ).
    I have downloaded the lastest updates of software ( 1.3 ) and always click on the update software buttom when am synching. I have also done a restore and all the other troubleshooting bits to no avail...
    Help....

    Hi,
    Well my friend got me an ipod 20gb 4th gen from ebay. It randomly froze and unfroze the eventually crashed and the HDD had errors, i couldnt connect it to pc it kept falling and showinfg errors but it sometimes loads and plays songs and frezzes but anyway i maneged to get it so it plays songs and restore it now i need to borrow a friends wall charger to finish its restore....

    diognosis test and what they mean
    A. 5 IN 1: This runs the following 5 tests at once (J through N as listed below): LCM, SDRAM, RTC, FLASH/CHECKSUM, and FIREWIRE/FW ID. If you have a 3G iPod, at the end of the test, your buttons will now play a series of sound effects.YOU MUST PRESS ALL BUTTONS WHOTH IN % SECS SO IT CAN CHECK THEM
    B. RESET: Can your iPod reset? Run this test and find out.
    C. KEY: After you start this test, you need to press all the buttons on your iPod within 5 seconds. If you don't do it fast enough, it will fail.
    D. AUDIO: Plug in headphones, but don't expect an electronic rendition of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. This test checks the audio subsystem. You will see a message that says "0X00000000 DONE" if your iPod passed the test.
    E. REMOTE:
    This will test your iPod's Remote if you have one. Plug it in or the test result will be "RMT FAIL".
    F.FIREWARE: Checks your iPod's FireWire port. A successful completion of the test will return "FW PASS".
    G. SLEEP: Will put your iPod to sleep. You will need to reset your iPod to wake it back up.
    H. A 2 D: Tests the iPod's power. Your results should look something like this: "3.7V 0X000000E2 CHG OK FW 1 BAT 1". The results will be different depending if your iPod is plugged into your computer, a wall outlet or is just running off battery power.
    I. OTPO CNT: Tests your scroll wheel. Results are returned in hexadecimal.
    J. LCM: The LCM is your iPod's screen. Keep pressing the "Select" button to toggle through several pattern tests.
    K. RTC: Tests the iPod's built-in "Real Time Clock".
    L. SDRAM: The RAM memory test. Hopefully it will tell you "PASS"
    M. FLASH: Your iPod has built-in Flash memory that stores firmware information. This test will tell you what Firmware version you have installed.
    N. OTPO or
    Wheel A2D: Tests the A2D (analog to digital) input of your iPod's scroll, touch or click-wheel. You need to reset your iPod to exit this test.
    O. HDD SCAN: Scans your iPod's hard drive. This is a great way to see if you have a healthy iPod. This test will take a few minutes so be patient.
    P. RUN IN: Tests your iPod's chip sets continuously.
    Try all test and try another hard rest and resotre even though you have if game andd no how open ipod dissconnect battery to hdd lead and leavee for 20 mins or discharge ipod and charge then see if it fixes it or clean ipod out being carfull not to break or touch anything
    hope this helps....

  • IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

    iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
    Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

    Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.

  • IPod won't sync correctly. iTunes freeze during "Determing Tracks to Sync". Playcounts are a mess now. Please help!'

    So since a few months my iPod is starting to get on my nerves. Everytime I try to sync it, my iTunes freezes during the "Determing Tracks to Sync" step. Most of the time it takes a few minutes and then it cancels the sync. I have to sync my ipod atleast 10 times a day to get a song or app on my iPod! One of the most anoyying things tough is, that all playcounts from my iPod sync to my iTunes every time I try to sync. Example: I play Poker Face on my iPod 5 times. I try to sync and my play count says 5 times on my PC. I sync my iPod again and it says 10 times now. It's so anoyying. I restored my iPod already. I removed iTunes and installed it again (And yeah, I deleted it the way Apple wants it). I called Apple and they said I can repair my iPod for 150€, but that's just so much. Any ideas on how to fix my iPod?
    Thank you

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Because you reformatted your computer, your iPod does not recognize the new library because it was synced with the older library you had before reformatting. In order to get the iPod working again, you will have to [Restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339] the iPod via iTunes. Once you have completed that step, try re-syncing the music and see if that helps.

  • Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

    Hello all,
    Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
    I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
    The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
    Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
    So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
    Greetings
    Erik-Jan Vriens

    Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
    In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
    One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
    Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

  • MDD DP G4 elusive diagnosis - freezes during boot up.  Tired- HELP!

    After not using my Dual Bootable  DP 1.25 GHz MDD G4 for a couple of months, it's now freezing during the boot process.
    What's weird is that it boots in Target Mode just fine, and when connected in this mode to my G5 Quad, it actually boots the G5 Quad in Target Mode just fine!    The G4 drive shows in fact as the boot drive on the G5 Quad's monitors.
    I was able to boot off a retail Tiger 10.4.6 disk, so I did an erase and install of a fresh Tiger OS 10.4.6, which I promptly updated to 10.4.11.  After trying and failing umpteen times to boot off the HD, even in safe mode, I ended up being utterly unable to get either of the Super Drives to open normally, so I had to resort to the straightened paper clip trick to retrieve the install DVD.
    Now even the paper clip fails to open either of the optical drives.
    I have twice wiped the HD from the G5 Quad after booting up in Target Mode, and installed fresh copies of Tiger 10.4.11 as described, with the Tiger install DVD in the SuperDrive of the G5 Quad.
    Since in Target Mode the G5 Quad boots just fine of the G4 HD, I think I can rule out the Hard Drive.
    I think I can rule out the battery too, as it boots fine in Target Mode and in the regular boot process it sometimes gets as far as playing the OS fresh install music after going through the registration process.
    I do have the original install disks with AHT 2.0.2 that came with the G4, but I can't get the optical drives open to insert the disk in either one of them.
    I'm thinking it could be bad RAM, but why would the optical drives be stuck, both of them??!
    I'd be most grateful for any tips as to what to try next.

    Jump all hard drives Cable Select and place the intended Master on the end connector of each IDE ribbon (each bus).
    Can you clarify, please?  Are you referencing the actual CPU?
    Yes. A very fine layer of corrosion on one or more of the 300 pins could render the machine incapable of achieving logic.
    The step should be performed after doing all the other reseats that I suggested.
    I've never re-seated one,
    Not so difficult.
    Replacement of the thermal compound is a requisite part of the proceedure, however.
    Use Arctic Cooling MX-4.
    No worries if a bit too much is applied, unlike silver based compounds....... bzzzZZTT! Dead CPU.
    My tutorial:
    9AE7FE0E-0CF2-4A7C-8003-489B282582BC.html
    I posted this for someone who wanted to remove a MDD logic board (edited for clarity, I hope):
    To remove the logic board (of a MDD):
    -Disconnect all cables connected to the logic board.
    -Remove any PCI cards, and RAM.
    -Find and remove the five screws that hold the heatsink. Remove the heatsink.
    -Remove the processor board by lifting the edges of the daughter card. After successfully pulling the card free from the connector, it might help to slide the processor board a bit to the rear and/while lifting out, being careful to clear the two mounting pegs.
    -Find and remove the one screw that holds the logic board.
    -Slide the logic board away from the back panel, lifting to avoid the chassis hooks.
    You need to pay attention to the three steps in bold. There is no screw retaining the CPU daughter card. It is sandwiched between the heatsink and the logic board socket.

  • My iTunes movie rental freezes during the opening credits always at the same place.

    my iTunes movie rental freezes during the opening credits always at the same place.  What is the cure?  Can I recieve credit for the rental since I could not view it in its entirerty?

    Hi Epski
    Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
    When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!
    You don't have a Samsung TV by any chance do you?

  • Clip's video momentarily freezes during playback

    When playing a clip from the Clip library or in the Project timeline the application will periodically freeze; any keyboard inputs (such as hitting 'K' or 'L' during playback) are buffered. Everything on the screen freezes but the audio continues to play. After a couple of seconds the application will unfreeze and the video will "catch up" with the audio. The buffered keystrokes will then take affect.
    (It's possible to skim the clip and it will not freeze during this. Skimming backwards and forwards at variable speeds works without a problem.)
    For example, I choose a clip that is 11:37:44 in length. The first time the clip is played it freezes about 6 seconds in, then unfreezes 3 seconds later. The second time it doesn't freeze at all but plays straight through. The third time the clip is played it freezes about 4 seconds in and then unfreezes.
    It's the random nature of the problem that is so vexing.
    I'm running FCPX Trial 10.6.0 on a MacPro 1,1 with 16GB of RAM, running 10.7.5 and using a 2TB eSATA-connected RAID 10 drive. The OWC enclosure is fed by a SeriTek/2ME4 PCI card and the MacPro has been upgraded to an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics card. There is 584.29 GB available out of the 2TB.

    I logged out and logged in as a different user. I fired up FCPX and imported the same event file from the book.
    It did not freeze once during playback.
    I then imported one of the clips (.mov) I had imported from tape. Again, no problem whatsoever.
    I removed any applications launched during log-in and logged in as normal, launched FCPX and it still exhibited the same problem with freezing.
    Since all of the media is on the same (RAID 10) disk and the only difference is the account I've logged in with, it appears that there is a process running under one account that is responsible for the momentary freezing. If I find what it is I'll report back.
