Searching for clips in project window takes forever...spinning ball

Not sure what could be causing this but searching for any clips in Premiere Pro CC project window takes forever.
I'm editing on a 2013 iMac i7 maxed out with full RAM (32GB) and my project along with all clips is on an external 4TB thunderbolt drive with over 1TB of free space.
Searching for a single clip, will often take minutes when typing the clip's name in the project window. It should pop up within seconds but it takes literally can take up to 5 minutes as the mac spinning beach ball keeps flashing. Is this normal? Hopefully the latest update will make the project window searches much faster.
I just can't understand it as I had a project of similar size in FCP7 where I could call up clips within a split second just by typing the name.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
The tilde "~" character represents your home folder.
Since the problem happens in more then account I'm not sure if trashing the .plist file will help but won't hurt to try.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
anyone have any idea why it would take forever for the Finder selection window to pop up?
Try repairing disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

Buying AppleCare, at this point, would be a waste of money. You voided your warranty when you replaced your optical drive with a hard drive. Only RAM and hard drive bay customer alterations will not affect your warrany.
You could have, I suppose, kept the optical drive and if your computer ever needed Apple repair, have replaced the hard drive for the optical again before taking it in for service. A little bit underhanded, but some people have done it.
You're pretty much just out of luck now...

Hello
I would like to know if you can help me to repair a program that was designed in Labview Veer 3.1.1. It is a simple program and we used for the last 12 years. Recently the computer hard disks fail and the backup copy that we had contains an error or is missing a module. The module is a conversion from Centigrade to Fahrenheit.
This will be a one time only and if fits on your agenda please let me know. You could email directly to me at [email protected]

QT movies won't open, just search for clip, and then error 128

I have filmed a lot of digital movies when I was an undergraduate studying film and I exported them all as quicktime movies to save in my computer; however, for some unknown reason, whenever I try to re-watch those movies, QT searches for "Clip 01" or whatever and says that it cannot open the movie without this clip, and then gives me "error (-128)." What is up with this? I thought once I exported the film as a QT .mov that would be the only file I needed. I don't understand why it needs to search for a clip. Thanks for anyones help, I'm trying to piece together a demo reel and now I don't have access to about 75% of my work.
G4 Desktop Mac OS X (10.4.4) Dual Processor 1.25 & 2 GB of RAM

When you "Save as" QuickTime Movie you get two choices... Reference movie and Self contained.
Self contained creates a movie with all needed media (video and audio clips) within the .mov file.
Reference movie creates a very small file that tells QuickTime where to find the clips to play and does not copy those clips into the mov file.

Either your phone is broken, or it was jailbroken. You can try a DFU restore.

Trying to move files to trash takes forever, and finder windows take forever to load files/apps

after recently installing Mackeeper (yes, I know..) and attempting to uninstall, my macbook pro 13" al. is taking forever to move a file to the trash, and it equally takes forever to open a finder window. running 10.6.8.

MacKeeper is an exception to the rule that system modifications should be uninstalled according to the developer's instructions. Although not generally recognized as such, MacKeeper is in fact a trojan, because the developer distributes an uninstaller that purports to delete it, but leaves behind something that causes popup ads to appear in the user’s web browser. Try following the instructions here:
how to uninstall MacKeeper « Phil Stokes
I can't personally vouch for the accuracy of those instructions, but others seem to have had success with them.

Retain stabilization after splitting clip in Project window

New to '09 but absolutely loving it over '06. Just a couple of questions that are bugging me, though:
Let's say I have a clip in the Project window with a red hand. I split the clip to cut out the red squiggles, expecting the hand to change colour to reflect the better condition of the remainder. Instead, the clip just becomes un-stabilized and I have to open the Inspector again. Am I missing something?
Also, is there a quicker way to turn on/off stabilization than the Inspector? I would expect it in the contextual menu, but it isn't.
Thanks for any tips.

In my experience, splitting the clip to remove the hand did not work. I had to drag the frames from the event that could be stabilized.To do this with precision, I set the Thumbnail slider to 1/2 second so I could get all the good frames.

Attaching files from Safari and FF- Finder window takes forever to pop up

Hi everyone,
I'm having a strange problem with my Finder. When I am in Safari or FF (Using 10.6.3) and I click the button to select a file to upload on any website, it take the finder window about 20-30 seconds to pop up. This happens every time I want to navigate to select a file. I get the spinning beach ball and the Finder window finally pops up generally 20 seconds later. I checked this in another user account on my machine and it has the same problem. I don't think it's a Safari or FF problem, as it's doing it in both browsers---anyone have any idea why it would take forever for the Finder selection window to pop up?

Can't drag imovie clips to project window to export them

I just finished interviewing someone remotely where he was recording his video on his mac with imovie. The recording went great but when he tried to drag the raw footage to the project window so he could export them to me, he could not drag them. They just kept bouncing back. He does not need to edit the clips just export them to me. The files are not unusually big. Why can't he drag them to the project window?

Hi
Did he first - in the Project window - create a new project (PLUS SIGN - down to the right) ?
must do that first
then open this new project and drag event clips to it (I keep alt-key down when clicking down on one event clip to get all of it)

How do I erase history of file use in "search for" sidebar in finder window

I just upgraded to Leopard and noticed that the "search for" sidebar in the finder window reveals every file I've ever opened in the past. I know I can turn it off in the finder preferences but I prefer being able to erase the history. I can't find an option to erase my file use history in the system or finder preferences. What can I do? I'm a stickler for privacy and don't like to keep this info on my computer no matter how innocuous or inoffensive the files might be. (Please spare me the inevitable jokes about hiding dirty pictures or videos... It's not that.)
Thanks

I am not sure there is any point because anyone can do a search in the finder for everything you have opened in the last whatever time period.

Just updated to iOS 6 for iPhone, and now Yahoo takes forever to load.

Help! I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and now my Yahoo mail either takes forever to load, or never loads at all. Both receiving and sending are sketchy and go at a snail's pace.
I've scoured the Internet and tried all the fixes - deleted account and added again (multiple times), restarted phone, added yahoo account as "other", logged in from a computer, turned off iCloud...
It's driving me bonkers... What am I missing? Yahoo mail still works fine on my iPad, which is running the older iOS.
Heeeeeelp!

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is the thing to do

When I search for videos in google, it takes me to the different website after clicking the search

I installed FF 4 and I was happy with the look and feel and performance untill oneday I tried to google some vedios.
When I click on the search results which most of the time suggests to be youtube link, it takes me to altogether different website which I never heard of. I expect when the search result shows me source as youtube, I should be able to go to youtube on clicking on the results.

Very long search times from an IMac running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard when searching for files on a windows 2003 server

The issue is as follows:
The Imac is connected to the windows 2003 server via SMB type connection.
There are four sub folders in the main directory. We go to one of the sub folders in this case Server.
We go to search window and type the file name that we want to search such as test .
The choices selected for search parameters are Server for location and contains (same results if picked by file name)
Search takes roughly 6 minutes before it returns the result.
If we do the same search on the old Mac Server it will take 15 seconds to complete using same search parameters.
Any ideas on how to speed up search times to the Windows 2003 Server? I have tried going to finder preferences and removing the sharing section. That did not help.

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database
4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
6) Shutdown the database again
7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
8) Started up the database
And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
SQL> select instance_name
2 from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
xe
I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
CTXMGMT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

Searching for clips without proxies

When I first installed my FCSvr I managed to jam it up several times with some impossible scans that froze it up in the middle of uploading projects. I had to restart the server several times until I realized what I was doing wrong. These projects now have lots of video assets that have no proxies, just a poster frame. I can select the asset and select "analyze" and FCSvr creates an edit proxy and all is well. Unfortunately you can only select one file at a time and do this. Is there a way to select a large number of assets and get them all to create proxies (great time to do this while the studio is empty for the holiday weekend). Is there a way to scan for assets with no proxy?

Actually, there are many ways, without having to go through the tedious process in the client GUI. Depending on what state your assets are in, the proxies may be "missing" or may not have ever been linked to the original asset.
If the proxies are missing, run this on the command line of your Final Cut Server box:
fcsvr_client search /asset | awk \/asset/\ '{ print "sudo fcsvr_client listparentlinks --linktype 4 "$1" | grep \"DESC_STATUS: missing\"| fcsvr_client analyze "$1 }' | sh
If proxies were not ever linked to the assets in the first place, you can modify the command above to work for this case also:
fcsvr_client search /asset | awk \/asset/\ '{ print "sudo fcsvr_client listparentlinks "$1" | grep \"Original\" | grep -v \"Proxy\" | fcsvr_client analyze "$1" "}' | sh
I hope that helps!
