IPhoto Freeze on full screen Editing - Lost threads ???

Hi all,
as I'm one of those experiencing multiple problems with iPhoto 9 and Snow Leopard, with freezing the complete OS in full screen editing and displaying repeatedly scrambled or corrupt images, I wanted to subscribe to one of the many multipage threads here but they all seem to be gone !!!
Did I miss something? Has the problem been fixed meanwhile?
If there is a fix, please someone share the secret, iPhoto is driving me crazy...
Thanks!

Sorry, it did not change anything!
It took me quite a while to find the time and the courage to rebuild a completely new iPhoto Library from scratch... but I did it... with more than 5000 pix in it, of course beautifully sorted and most even modified! Altough the problem still remains, at least I did cleanup the base properly.
Now I'm gonna try to migrate to iPhoto '11... fingers crossed!

LR6 freezing on full screen. Help please?

I have just got LR6 (WINDOWS 64x). When I use the Full Screen (or F key shortcut) I cannot exit the full screen without using Task Manager (Ctrl/Alt/Delete)and ending task (ie, LR). When I do this LR closes without saving, or having the option to save, the catalogue. This is most frustrating and time wasting. Also now do not have the ability to view images on the full screen. LR6 works OK providing that I don't use the full screen option. I have also noticed that the image processing/loading is noticeably slower. My graphics processor checks out OK. Help please???

I'm sorry, but I am a bit out of ideas here.
I suppose the rest of your system like RAM is well enough too.
Does the Windows event log have any entry after the freeze? Too bad it's not BSOD - that would at least show a hint where the issue might be.
FWIW, I'd try with an older graphic card driver as well - you never know.

Video freezing in full screen mode

When I'm watching a video in full screen mode, the video will sometimes freeze for a few seconds or until I move my mouse. The audio keeps playing but the picture will keep freezing. Last time this happened it went away with the latest Chrome update. But not this time. This is very fustrating....please help!!

Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, it may be worth making an appointment at the genius bar and having them run the test for the NVIDIA problem. Since your replacement logic board still has the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT video chip, it could be starting to happen to your replacement logic board.
I also agree with all of CMCSK's suggestions. Freezing is often associated with hard drive problems. You might also want to run SMART Utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It will give you a very comprehensive view of the physical health of your hard drive. If you still have the original one from 2007, it's getting pretty long in the tooth and may be approaching the end of its average useful life of 3-5 years. I just recently had to replace my original 2007 Fujitsu drive.
If your drive is headed south, and is also too small, it may be time to upgrade to a larger and faster drive.
The software update probably didn't cause the problems, but it may have exposed problems that were already in existence.
Good luck!

CS3 freezes in Full Screen Mode

CS3 was fine until today when it started working extremely slowly/freezing when using any tool in Full Screen Mode. No problems in the other three screen modes.
Fairly large problem as I prefer Full Screen on Apple 30" display.
Using MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OS 10.5.2.
Looking forward to reply.

CS3 put black frame onto images on saving end freezing in full screen mode

HI, I've got 2 problems with CS3, the first on my macPro 2x2.66 xeon - 4 Go - MAC 10.5.2
CS3 put, randomly, black frames on pictures when I'm saving as TIFF, CMJN, 8bits, a few month ago I have had same problems but with white frames ....
Another problem with CS3, on a MacBook pro 2.4 - 3Go with LaCie LCD 21" screen, when I enter full screen mode and I moving picture with the hand, the Mac is freezing, and I have to reboot;
3 days ago after a crash, I've had to reinstal the system because the Lacie was seen as a "LCD screen" (not Lacie) and with 1440 pixels max display (1600 usualy).
I do really NEED help please

lepixel,
What specifically do you mean by "network"? Are you working and saving files directly across a network? If so, and that is the problem, it is a known issue that does not necessarily mean you have a problem with your computer.
If a network is properly configured and maintained by a knowledgeable IT specialist, you can work this way. But as there's a very high number of possible network configurations and chances for fatal file errors (such as what you're experiencing), Adobe specifically warns that you should first drag-copy your files off the network server to your desktop, work locally, save locally, and then drag-copy the completed work back to the network server.
Does this describe your network and workflow?

Youtube videos lag/freeze on full screen when mouse is inactive, but only in firefox.

I absolutely HATE IE, so I hope we can find a solution to my problem.
Pc info: Win 7 64 bit, 2.9 pentium with 4 gig ram
video: radeon HD 3800
Three days ago I was infected by some malware. While i had it i could not watch videos on youtube in full screen unless i constantly moved my mouse. I uninstalled the malware and it didn't help. I reinstalled videos card drivers (even tried the new beta drivers), firefox, adobe flash, java 32 and 64 bit, and performed these steps: http://techlogon.com/2012/06/04/flash-player-crashes-in-all-web-browsers/
I've reset Firefox, emptied cache in Firefox, and manually deleted all program temp folders I could find. Also, I have disabled all add-ons and plugins, and even ran Firefox in safemode. Nothing seems to work.
There may be a few things I've forgotten that I've tried.

well, in windows safe mode, it seems to play the video in full screen without the mouse moving, but while playing (normal or full screen) it either restarts the video several times or straight crashes the player.

G780 - Random Freezing and Full Screen covered in yellow lines

Hey, I'm having freezing problems and issues with the screen becoming covered in yellow lines. Everything stays visible and some times it does this without freezing. Which leaves me to believe a failing graphics chip. Movement of the screen or laptop doesn't seem to effect it, neither does how long I'm on the laptop. It just seems to be random. I'm not getting driver crashes or any errors just lockups and the random colors. Using drivers right from the support site, and yes I've tried reinstalling.
HDD and Ram both test fine.
Thanks!

G780 has 2 variants
With integrated Intel or with dedicated NVidia. Nvidia card is on the PCIe slot. So it depends on the graphics type on your system. Turn around time depends on region, part availability etc. So the local support team will be able to provide clear information on that.

Vidoe in full screen freezes unless mouse is moved in version 27.0.1

I'm running windows 7 64-bit. You tube videos freeze in full screen only when mouse is inactive. This is not a problem when instant streaming Netflix videos or in internet explorer. I did not have this problem when running windows xp on an old machine a few months back. I tried all the troubleshooting steps suggested: started in safe mode, uninstalled/reinstalled, reset, downloaded most recent version, disabled plugins, checked each plugin separately and I still have the problem. I know there were threads on this issue related to version 25 which seemed to suggest this was a know bug in Firefox that was fixed in newer versions, but it is still an issue with the newest version 27.0.1. It has to be a Firefox problem since I don't have this issue with other browsers and I still had the problem in safe mode. I don't want to change browsers but will be forced to if there isn't a solution to this problem. I also made sure I have the most recent plugin versions of : adobe acrobat, shockwave flash, shockwave for director, silverlight, Java deployment toolkit, and java platform (the last two cannot be "always activated" they are set for "ask to activate") I don't understand much about plugins so I don't know if I have what I need or too much - not sure that would address my issue though.

See [/questions/976293]
The bug has a Target Milestone: mozilla30 and thus is still present in the current Firefox release

I have a new Macbook Pro. When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues. When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

I have a brand new Macbook model A1502. I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos. I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted. I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems. Can anyone help me please? This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use. Thanks in advance

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.

IMac (Late 2009) starting freezing when in full screen

Just yesterday (and today) my iMac starting freezing when watching videos (online) in full screen. It happened on YouTube, and other websites with Flash video.
The video would stop playing (i could still hear audio - atleast for a second or two) and it would go all pixally.
Here's what it did when attempting to play Diablo 3:
On the YouTube videos, I would get blue squares.
Then when I'd restart, It would do this:
Then do this:
It would do that a few times, until I left the computer off for like 10 minutes, then it comes back ok.
It's not my hard drive (I don't think) even though I'm eligible for the Seagate 1TB Replacement Program - I haven't done it yet. Apple Store wanted to keep my computer for 5 days to replace it and I didn't want to leave it for that long...
Anyway, I don't think it's that because I used SuperDuper to create a bootable backup on my Seagate 500GB USB2 external HD and set that as my startup disk - and it happened on that one too.
I don't know what to do now, please help. I'm not ready to buy a whole new computer right now. :-(
Thanks,
Dave

The graphic card of your Mac is damaged. This happened to me with my Late 2009 21'5-inch iMac, too. I recommend you to make a backup as soon as possible (soon your Mac will be unusable), and take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller.
At first, the repair time for the iMac 1 TB replacement program was about 6 days, but now it has decreased a lot, so I recommend to get the hard drive and the graphic card repaired at the same time and you will save time. As you are going to have the hard drive replaced, make a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper; this will make the restore easier

Video shocks in full screen & freeze of finder when coping

Hi,
The last few weeks a have two problems with my "new" mac book pro (reatina).
1. When I play video's online (youtube or other provider) the play normaly in small screen but start shocking/flashin in full screen mode. It is not a preformance issue, i check the activity log, their is no heavy load active. I have the problem in Safari and in chrome and with multiple video platforms.
2. The other problem is that my finder completely freezes when i copy large files from my hard drive to a USB stick op my time capsule networkdisk. Finder will continue coping but i can not do anything in finder, i only get the "beachball" and have to wait till it is complete.
Anyone tips how to fix this?

It is possible that the white dot problem could be related to one of the sensors on the camera. The sensor(s), some cameras have one and some have three, record the information for the pixel. I know of one case where the videographer was videoing ballet dancers with a black background and noted a few white dots and that was the problem. If over time it repeats and maybe some more start to show up then that could be the cause.
The camera failure could be caused due to heat or doing a lot of recording with the gain turned up.
I'm not saying that is the problem, only that it is one possibility. Why it "disappeared" the way it did is puzzling.

Full Screen Preview Choppy/Freezing

Ok I saw another post similar to this one, but it didn't seem to be exactly the same issue...
I recently started having a seemingly random issue with my external monitor. What happens is when I am previewing a movie, the preview window IN Final Cut works just fine, but the external monitor (where the video preview is full screened) shows the video for a second, then becomes really choppy, then freezes completely. All the while the preview window in FCP is still showing the video just fine. I have tried buying new Mini Display adapters (I've now tried both DVI and VGA), I bought a new DVI cable, a new VGA cable, I hooked it up to other external monitors, and it has the problem every single time. I also recently discovered that if I switch the video playback to "Desktop Preview - Main" (where it simply full screens the preview on my laptop screen) it has the same problem! Also, my external works fine in every other regard, only previewing has an issue. And this came out of nowhere! It was working just fine, then suddenly one day this was happening. Oh, and I have tried FCP 6.0 AND 7.0, both of which produce the same result... It was also suggested I mess with the timeline video settings and so far that hasn't proved helpful either.
I am using a MacBook Pro 10.5.8 - 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
And like I said, I haven't changed a thing that feels like it would make this happen. It just suddenly stopped working...

Sounds like maybe it could be some sort of issue with your video card. NVidia, GTX, Radeon? Anyway, I would run a test using some a firewire I/O box. See if the problem persists sending to an external monitor from an AJA or some other breakout box.

Full screen freeze on 24" & 20" (video problems)

When going from a game like C & C 3 or full screen windows or just opening and app that refreshes the screen, I get scrambled video and have to do a hard restart. My wife's 20" crashed today when she tried to play a casino game but I was able to get back to the Finder with a force quit. We have only had these a few weeks but thankfully not had any of the granular problems others have reported.

I have had a plethora of freezing issues on my 20" Aluminum iMac purchased on October 9 from the Apple Store in Nashville. I upgraded to 10.5.X about a week ago and have noticed no change in the frequency or nature of the freezes. I am also using a 21 inch Samsung 215tw monitor as my main screen with the iMac's built in display as the secondary. Is anyone else using a similar setup and if so are you noticing similar errors? Does it change if you lose the second screen? It freezes most often when using Photoshop or when the screen saver activates. Sometimes the screen will just lock up, sometimes Photoshop will become unresponsive and won't reboot after multiple force quits leading me to restart the machine altogether. Other times when the screen saver kicks in the screen will become pixelated and distorted. Other online sources suggest this is a result of faulty, overheating or overclocked graphics cards. Does anyone know if this is the case and if so what is Apple doing about it? I don't want to waste the time of making a Genius Bar appointment and lugging the machine down there just to be given shrugged shoulders. Please help. Thanks.
