Recently, computer freezes when attempting to play a camera video in Q-time

I thought at first this was an iPhoto problem because when I would click on a video in iPhoto to play it, the computer would freeze, and sometimes the display would nuts with noise. Also I'm seeing recent posts in iPhoto forum. But then I tried exporting a video from iPhoto to disk, and then I opened Quicktime manually, and then opened the video from Quicktime, and same problem.
Any ideas? I have plenty of free disk space, ran Disk Utility, etc.

Hello All,
I have figured out the sound issue: System Preferences>Sound and choose the TV for output.
Regards,
Lisa

  • Computer Freezes When Playing Certain DVD

    I just bought my first Mac in the form of the new generation of Macbook Pros last week. There is one DVD that seems to always freeze in the same spot when playing in my computer. When I start playing from after that point, it plays normally for awhile and then freezes again. It freezes to the point that I can only shut down the computer to fix it because force quit does not work and I cannot get out of fullscreen mode. I just tried the DVD on a friend's Macbook that he bought in November and it played without any problems. Could this be a problem with the drive or is the DVD probably to blame? Any help would be greatly appreciated, including advice on closing the program without shutting down the computer.

    Same problem here. Some notes:
    Has occurred on at least two different DVDs for me; both unscratched and playable without issue in other drives.
    I believe the picture freezes first, then the sound freezes a few seconds later. Mouse can be moved, but movement is jerky, like the mouse position is being updated at 5fps.
    Hard reboot only way out; I've let it sit 20+ minutes to see if it recovers, no luck.

  • TS3212 after downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my windows freezes when attempting to gain access to itunes store.  How do i Fix?

    After downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my computer freezes when i attempt access into itunes store.  How can I fix this problem?

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

  • ITunes and Computer freezes when ipod is connected

    When I connect my video ipod to my computer (dell desktop) the system freezes, as in it will not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard (but can still get to task manager). When I unplug the ipod it comes back to life. Programs always freeze, but sometimes I am able to navigate within windows without it freezing, but as soon as a program is brought up, my computer falls to its knees.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and updater v. 1.1, (but I have not been able to update the firmware yet from v 1.0).
    The odd thing is last night I was able to download several gigs worth of music to it without incident. I then tried to load movies (they were in the wrong format, but I didn't know it at the time), and so in an effort to correct that I uninstalled itunes, the ipod drivers, and the ipod updater programs several times.
    I cannot update the ipod firmware because the computer freezes when the ipod is plugged in, so the program freezes as well. Kind of a catch 22 situation.
    I have been over the forums and help archives for about an hour and a half now and I have come up dry.
    Windows XP does recognize the ipod when the cable is connected, and the ipod flashes, "Do not disconnect", which it is supposed to do.
    I suspect this is drivers/software, but I have no idea where to go from here.
    Help?

    Hey!
    That EXACT thing happened to me! 2 nights ago I'm downloading like crazy, all is well. I got on LimeWire and downloaded some videos and tried to put them on my iPod. Imported them into iTunes then tried to put em on my iPod and it completely wiped out all my songs! So I get back on, put the songs back in, and about half way through the update the thing freezes. I've re-installed everything, and have reset my iPod. Did you figure out what to do? Maybe your fix will fix my problem, too.
    Thank you!

  • MacBook  Pro screen glitches out, gray lines appear on it then my computer freezes and must be restarted sometimes it will beep 3 times when restarting and other times it won't. Is this a virus?

    I have a MacBook Pro running mavericks. Sometimes the screen glitches out, gray lines appear on it then my computer freezes and must be restarted sometimes it will beep 3 times when restarting and other times it won't. Is this a virus, software issue, water damage, etc? An error message usually appears after being restarted. It does it all the time please help.

    No Virus. You have a Hardware Problem. 3 Beeps means a RAM problem. You could try Reseating the RAM is its sockets.
    But that wouldn't necessarily cause the screen to Glitch Out, as you say.

  • Why does my computer freeze when updateing if i have enough disk space and no disk repairs are needed?

    I have problems updating my softwarebecause my computer freezes when it restarts to install. I have enough disk space and I checked for disk repairs and everthing is ok. Still can't update and not my cumputer is taking longer to turn on. There is an earth blinking then i get the apple logo blinking before it turns on and this takes close to 5 minutes.

    When you say, "disk repairs" are you referiring to permissions or verifying the disk because clearly there's a problem.
    Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utilty to "verify" and if necessary repair the startup disk. (Not Verify Disk Permissions).

  • Safari freezes when attempting to go back using the wipe function of the magic mouse.

    Whenever I wipe a little bit to the side on my magic mous the opened tab starts freezing when attempting to go back.

    Thank you for supporting!
    By the way, I'm running Maverick already.

  • ITunes crashes when attempting to play purchased tracks

    Hoping someone can help me here. iTunes crashes when attempting to play tracks purchased from the iTunes store. Music imported from CDs still plays fine. They have played preiously but not since downloading and installing 7.0.2.16. QuickTime is up to date and I only have 1 PC authorised. Help!

    There's another thread on here that suggested re-installing iTunes. That works for me (in that the videos play), but I have to re-install iTunes every time I want to watch them which is a pain. So if anyone has a more permanent fix...

  • HT1692 iOS7 Calendar freezing when attempting to accept/decline/maybe a meeting request from Microsoft Outlook Exchange... (iPhone 5s)

    My iOS7 calendar on my iPhone 5s continually freezes when I attempt to accept/decline/maybe (respond in general) to any invitations that come through to the device... The main ones I get (so the ones I am experiencing the issue with) are from Microsoft Outlook Exchange Account (also synced through Mail app).
    I have attempted to go via the emails I receive with the invitation and the device freezes when attempting to action the request through the Mail app also.
    I'm hard reset the phone, I've removed and re-established the account in the phone, but nothing fixes the issue. It might work for one or two invitations, but it will start freezing again without a pattern...
    This is a real pain, because these meeting requests etc are for work meetings and interviews!
    Thanks guys!

    We are seeing a similuar issue here at work on serveral devices.
    Using Lotus Notes for mail and calendar
    iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S
    Running iOS 7
    When an email comes in for a meeting invite if you click on the Date and Time in blue it will walk you through opening the invite in your calendar and then I can Accept/Decline without issue.  If you click on the Invitation icon, which seems to be what users intuitively, in the the email then it freezes up the mail app., see image below.

  • What can i do my computer freezes when i use safari and word document?

    My computer freezes when I am using Safari and word document. Can some help me??

    The same thing just happened to my new ipod today while i was trying to use an app. A lot of people say that it is caused by an ios update, but I let the battery on my ipod drain until it turned off.  Once i charged it, it turned on and is working normally again

  • My computer freezes when using Facebook.

    My computer freezes when I am on Facebook. I am unable to click on anything and have to force shut down. I have to restart it altogether. What may be the issue?

    Always, or only sometimes? Only Facebook?

  • Computer "freezes" when left on for several hours.

    I have had my MacBook Pro since late February. It seems to "freeze" when I leave it on for prolonged periods of time (several hours) without using it. By "freeze" I mean when the display wakes up, the trackpad will allow me to move around the screen, but not click on anything. Occasionally, I will get the colored spinning wheel when I click on one thing, but it never allows me to access any program or even to shut down the computer normally with the trackpad. I am forced to use the power button for a forced shutdown. It then restarts normally.
    The computer has not been asleep, and has been attached to the power outlet the entire time. This is also not a kernel panic. (I have witnessed those with my previous computer.)
    Prior to this, I owned a 12in Powerbook for nearly 5 years. It never grew unresponsive like this. Is this a common problem with the MacBook Pros, or is there something wrong with my unit?
    Please let me know if you would like more information about my computer.

    mavenue, you should really post this as a separate topic as the probability is that your problem is not the same.
    (A) after such a forced restart have you done anything to check system integrity?
    (B) are you saying that Safari is set to open at startup/login?
    (C) which version of Safari are you using?
    (D) is Safari set to open on a blank page or access a website?
    (E) is the computer attached to a network at the time or not?
    (F) have you examined the logs in Console (if not, have a look and post them in discussions.
    Have a look at those points and start another thread with some of the information suggested above (including the log).
