Same Problem, IMovie freezes on start up

I have read many of the previous posts and they don't seem to help. I installed ILife 08 and IMovie only begins to start then freezes. Any ideas?
I know this is a repeat but maybe someone has been able to correct this.

install the latest update for iLife08, vers.8.2.
install the latest update for Quicktime ..
de-install any plug-ins from your Quicktime Folder, esp, DivX related plug-ins..
make sure, your System Prefs Monitor/Colors is set to 'Millions' ...
set the System Prefs Monitor/Color Profile for the first launch of iM08 to 'AdobeRGB'.. after first launch of iM08, set back to any wished Color Profile ..

  • Aperture 2.1 stuck or freezing when started

    After the splash screen when I see the main screen, the beachball starts and doesn't stop. Except for the beachball the application freezes? I'm not sure what to do, I've rebooted,restarted I'm out of options. I'm in the middle of uploading a wedding so the timing is horrible. Also I don't use the vault. I hope someone has a solution for me.

    Have the same problem. Aperture not starting, deleting preferences did not help, permissions are fixed, rebuilding library did not help, removing plugins did not help.
    I have the following messages in the Console.app (the linked text is in boxed braces originally)

  • Mozilla hangs (not responding)message. I have loaded the latest version and still have the same problem, why?

    Firefox hangs (not Responding message) I tried refreshing Firefox. I tried deleting history. I deleted Firefox and reinstalled the latest version which I already had running before and the same problem occurs. It starts hanging after a few minute when I start the computer mostly on my email page or ebay page and continues to hang for about 5 to 10 minutes then it starts to function normally. It is most annoying and I cannot figure what is causing the problem? Please help if you can?
    Thank you,
    aleggert

    Hello Fred McD,
    If I was unclear I am sorry, I can not start Firefox normally after starting the computer in safe mode with or without the network because my USB internet modem will not allow me access to the internet in the safe mode. the USB modem will not work when the computer is in safe mode. The only thing I can do is start the computer normally then enter Firefox in the safe mode by holding down the shift key and pressing the icon for Foxfire at the same time. This will put Foxfire in the safe mode but the computer is operating in the normal mode Because I can not get access to the internet when I use the computer in the safe mode The USB modem will not connect to the internet when the computer is in the safe mode.
    Thank you,
    aleggert

  • Anyone with the same problem? My macbook pro is freezing on start up and I get the follin

    My macbook pro is freezing on startup lately! It is wierd because I think the computer is still working, I can turn the volume up and down, and change the light in the keyboard and so on... But it still doesnt work.. I took a photo with my iphone? My macbook is kindda old I think it is from 2007. 2,4 ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2gb mhz DDR2 SDRAM
    I have installed version 10.6.8 on it..
    Hope someone can help!

    Did you ever figure this out?  I'm having the same problem now... I have a 2008 macbook pro, running mountain lino and it's been doing this.. I tried booking in safe mode and got the same result.  Single-user mode didn't even run, and it just kept starting and shutting down without the screen turning on.  Really weird.
    Anyways, if you found a solution I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.  Thanks

  • I have two intel-era Mac Pros. One at work, another at home.  Two months ago both started having same mix of freezes/hangs

    I own two Intel-era Mac Pros, one at work, the other at home office.  A couple months ago both started having the same problem: a mix of freezes/hangs and weird graphical artifacts showing up on the screens.  Usually I need to reboot. Usually a reboot fixes the problem for a while until it recurs. If it was just one computer, I'd figure disk problem or graphics card.  But the fact that both have been affected at the same time makes me suspect some software issue or possibly a trojan/virus.  Has anyone seen something like this?  Or have any advice?

    The OS is still @ 10.4.8?
    FBDIMMs tend to fail over time due to heat stress and more so if not kept cooler than 70*C
    Helps to run SmcFanControl @ 900 rpm - esp in warmer weather
    Monitor the system with Hardware Monitor, it is more accurate and thorough though not as "cute" as some.
    Both have OEM 7300GT or X1900, which requires constant cleaning of dust.
    We aren't mind readers so if you want, then add more details, the System Profile but w/o the serial number.
    Maybe you install the same updates and programs and that is why.
    Yes you could do a clean install on a fresh drive.
    Maybe your drives are years old - and it never hurt to clone the system regularly for backup and maintenance, run Disk Warrior instead or in addition to Disk Utility. And take advantage of new faster drives.
    No it may not be Flash based malware but then Apple isn't supporting pre-Snow Leopard as much if at all. They did offer a limited fix for recent malware.

  • Mac Pro freezing at start up, not sure if problem is hardware or software

    A week ago my Mac Pro began freezing at start up. I push the power button, the tone goes off, but start up never makes it past the gray screen with the spinning gear.
    I have two HDs in my computer, one for Mac OS and the other for Windows. Neither drive successfully loads the OS. When I try and boot under Windows it similarly freezes before account login.
    I have tried reinstalling both Mac and Windows OS several times, but encounter the same problem each time.
    Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

  • I updated my iPad 4 with the new iOS7 and since then Skype started problem and now email i.e, yahoo as well. I can hear people on Skype but they can't hear me though it was working fine with old version. Is any one else having same problem?

    I recently purchased iPad 4 and it is only one month old. I updated with iOS 7 and next day got problem with Skype and yahoo mails. People can't hear me on Skype though I can hear them clearly. I was replying yahoo mails quite nicely and now as I start typing the iPad turns black and have to open it again. Is there any one else facing the same problem? I was thinking to go to apple shop for support? Any suggestions?

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754
    59&tstart=0
    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.
    btabz
    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

    I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

    I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
    Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
    This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.

  • TS4123 This is not correct solution. I have fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.  Autorun only shows the Bonjour service.  It started when try to sync more than one iphone.

    This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem. 
    Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service.  It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%.  It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.

    For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart.  Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem.  Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
    Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant.  I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

  • Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes.  The color wheel comes on and My work stops.  I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem.

    Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes.  The color wheel comes on and My work stops.  I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem. I'll get 20-30 minutes of work done and then a sync or something comes on, the color wheel of death shows up, and my productivity is shot.  I have to shut the computer down the hard way!  when it comes back up, it is still either frozen or slow.  I've checked in at the genius bar and all they say is that there have been some problems that Apple is trying to fix.  It effects Mail, Contacts, Safari, Calendar....yeah, pretty much everything.  My iPhone and iPad are not effected as much so I end up doing what I can with them.  I've seen the blogs out there and understand that many have the same problem.  I have been waiting to read about a fix but I have found nothing!  Any ideas?

    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    For startup issues...  open System Preferences > Users & Groups - Login Items. Delete any apps listed there then restart your mac.
    And disable the Lion "resume" feature.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:   Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    And Spotlight may be indexing... you can turn that off > Turning Off Spotlight | Mac Tricks And Tips

    so what
    greetings from berlin

    Greetings,
    It appears to be a FW problem, possibly flaky case, or drive problem.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
