Spinny beach ball when i try to import an aiff file (6mins) into idvd 6.0.3
im reading the posts about audio encoding problems with idvd and
i get spinny beach ball when i try to import an aiff file (6mins) into idvd 6.0.3
right after i click the import button. wondering if this is a part of that problem. im not at the encoding phase. actually im trying to make the simplest dvd in the world. 1 picture and 1 song on the main menu-thats it. i have it set to "best quality" so it doesnt encode in the background-so says the idvd help menu. when i click import or drag the song file into the window (tried it many ways) i get infinite spinny beach ball. dont know if im waiting long enough before i force-quit, about 10 mins. didnt think this would be too hard for the machine to do considering im not burning yet, i just opened the program and this is the first thing i tried to do. any help??? i have a intel mini 1.66 with 2 gb ram, 10 gb free on hd, OS 10.4.9, and using a 23gb imovie file for the video. i didnt try plist deleting or reinstall yet because this is the only problem ive had. repaired permissions, checked the drive with disk utility. ran software update, nothing. nada. HELP!!!
i figured it out last night. idvd doesnt like .aiff's on my machine, maybe because its an intel. i converted it to apple lossless and it worked fine, it imported instantly. .mp3 and .m4a fine as well. i dont know why it wont import an .aiff, maybe because its an intel??? dont know. everyu time i try any aiff file on my machine, idvd does the spinny beachball forever. i even tried to reinstall idvd and that didnt work either, so i gave up and converted it to lossless.
to clarify, im just trying to make a simple dvd with my imovie footage, a main menu picture and 1 song to play on the main menu. i wanted to use the .aiff instead converting it to .mp3 because i didnt want to lose any quality. i guess apple lossless is good enough... whatever, just glad it works now. maybe ill be able to burn the dvd sometime this month, and im ready for the problems that will come when i try to do that. from what i hear i have to pack a lunch. everyone is saying ill have to mow my lawn by the time its done. that *** and not looking forward to that.

Why do I get the spinning beach ball when I try to change from Events to Photos. How do I fix it?
Why do I get the spinning beach ball when I try to change from Events to Photos. How do I fix it?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When I try to import songs from a CD into iTunes it can't find the titles online. This wasn't a problem previously, now it is. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. Any solutions? Help says to try again later but no luck there. I've tried multiple times with multiple CDs.
To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step. -

Mountain Lion Finder "unresponsive" (Beach balls) when trying to copy large amount of files
Before Mountain Lion, using Lion - transfering 999 files from my compact flash card to my SSD hard drive via a FW800 reader was SO easy. Select all, drag and drop and the transfer would begin immediately.
Now, after upgrading to Mountain Lion, I experience at least 60 seconds of beach balls and an "unresponsive" finder. Sometimes it starts to transfer, sometimes I have to relaunch finder.
I've reset the PRAM (although I didn't hear 4 beeps), the SMC, I did verify and repair disk permissions.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you,

iomega, lacie, 500GB, 1TB, etc, seems to be drive independent. I've formatted and started over with several of the drives and same thing. If I copy the files over in smaller chunks (say, 70GB) as opposed to 600GB, the problem does not happen. It's like finder is holding on to some of the info when it puts it's "ghost" on the destination drive before it's copied over and keeping the file locked when it tries to write over it.
This may be a stretch since I have no experience with iomega and no recent experience with LaCie drives, but the different results if transfers are large or small may be a tip-off.
I ran into something similar with Seagate GoFlex drives and the problem was heat. Virtually none of these drives are ventilated properly (i.e, no fans and not much, if any, air flow) and with extended use, they get really hot and start to generate errors. Seagate's solution is to shut the drive down when not actually in use, which doesn't always play nice with Macs. Your drives may use a different technique for temperature control, or maybe none at all. Relatively small data transfers will allow the drives to recover; very large transfers won't, and to make things worse, as the drive heats up, the transfer rate will often slow down because of the errors. That can be seen if you leave Activity Monitor open and watch the transfer rate over time (a method which Seagate tech support said was worthless because Activity Monitor was unreliable and GoFlex drives had no heat problem).
If that's what's wrong, there really isn't any solution except using the smaller chunks of data which you've found works. -
I just got a Nikon D4s, and I use Aperture 3 ( v 3.5.1) as my primary workflow program. I am getting a message that I am trying to import a "unsupported file format".
Does anyone know if its just me, or does Apple have a fix to this problem?Have you updated to the most recent Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.05? If not, run Software Update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955
What are your settings for the RAW format in your camera? The footnote for the RAW support for Nikon D4s reads:
†Nikon RAW L format only.
Maybe, you need to change your RAW format settings. -

IMovie Crashes when I try to import a movie file
I am trying to import an MPEG-2 file into iMovie. However, whenever I bring up the import window, as soon as I begin scrolling through my file, iMovie freezes up and has to be shut down. I can't even get to the point where I can TRY to upload it.
What is going on?I have no idea, but same thing happens to me. I'm on a G5 with Tiger. Here is my work-around.
1. If you don't have this application, you can download it free. It is called MPEG Streamclip. Google search this name to find the home page (it has been so long since I've downloaded this app I can't provide you with a link).
With this application you can convert the MPEG2 files to .mov files (or just about anything else), at which point the import should be easy. However, be aware that the file conversion process is lengthy, so set the conversion up to run overnight.
In my case, the MPEG2 files are coming from an older HD/SD JVC camera, or a newer JVC camera that records files in a .tod format. I don't know whether Apple neglected JVC or JVC neglected Apple. Just to get started I have to transfer the camera files into a disk image, which iMovie recognizes as a camera. Unfortunately, my G5 immediately freezes upon my import command, and I have to hold the power switch down to initiate a shutdown. -

Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.
You probably don't really need 1080 at 60 for your finished projects but since you're just starting out with Motion, you need to lower your expectations. A long way. 1080 is about 2 million pixels per frame, DV is only about 400,000. That's not just five times as many pixels for the Mac to track; everything in video is exponential.
Explore the training tutorials available by Mark Spencer. You will get an idea of how his super powerful machine reacts with the software.
Adding a light roughly doubles the processing time over flat scenes. Two lights increases processing again. Reflections require processing the lights and then calculating the reflections so add another quarter of the time required for flat scenes. Add camera movement, motion blur, and depth of field and you need exponentially more processing time for every frame. The preload of renders into RAM is one of the cooler features of Motion, as comapred to After Effects, but that takes tons of time, to.
Try working in ye olde DV resolution for a few days. Get to know the software's limitations and what gets imposed by your Macintosh. Step up to 720p/30 and see how things slow down. -
Spinning Beach Ball when turning off Airport WiFi. SL Issues, many! Help!
I performed a clean installation of Snow Leopard on my new 13 inch late 2009 MBP on release date. All of a sudden, I am getting the infamous spinning beach ball when attempting to disable my Airport wifi. It's so bad, that I am not able to gracefully restart my system. Seriously this is getting out of hand. Snow Leopard was supposed to make Leopard even more stable.
Steps I have taken, not in any particular order.
Verified and repaired permissions.
Ran HW test, no issues found
Reset PRAM
Deleted wifi related plist files from /lib/prefs/sysconfig and rebooted;
The only thing I can think of next is to perform and Archive and Install or....
...As much as I would hate to go back, Install Leopard.
I would appreciate feedback or suggestions as what to do. Looks like 10.6.1 may be worth waiting for. Oh how I miss Tiger.HI,
If you use an Airport Base Station or Airport Express, try resetting.
If that doesn't help...
Boot from the 10.6 disk and verify the startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
Check available disk space.
Control or right click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop. Click "Get Info". Under the General tab you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is at least 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
If necessary, do an Archive an Install. It's the only install option available for Snow Leopard.

IPhoto hangs/freezes/beach balls when printing TIFF: solved
I was having a problem today with iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) on Mac OS X 10.9.3: iPhoto is freezing/hanging/beach balling when printing TIFF images. I can effortlessly re-create the problem by selecting a specific TIFF image (from a Nikon D700) and attempting to print to my HP LaserJet m451dw (over the network).
The problem occured on the iPhoto print screen. I was able to select 1 or more images to print and then select the print size (e.g. full, contact sheet, etc...) however when I click the Print button at the bottom of the screen iPhoto would hang. Normally the printer dialog would appear.
I am using the latest Mac OS X 10.9 drivers from HP (Jan 2014) and printing from other apps such as Word worked.
I had tried the following with no luck: completely rebuilding the iPhoto DB; removing and reinstalling the printer; removing the iPhoto preferences.
The solution in the end was to rotate the TIFF image. The wife had rotated a number of images to portrait mode for a contact sheet but could not print. After mucking about with the problem TIFF image I rotated it around back to landscape and it is now working.
I hope this helps someone else experiencing the same problem.Terence Devlin wrote:
The reason I asked about the format of the disk is that folks report issues with Libraries stored on disks that are not formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Terence could you tell me more? I have not found the corresponding post.
I have a huge (10K photos, 50GB) library on a RAID server under linux formatted as ext 2.
I am not a designer playing with fonts.
After I upgraded to iPhoto '09 from the DVD, it converted my library and I started to look at the animation which crashed in the middle (face recognition was running in the background).
Any attempt to restart iPhoto failed (empty window with spinning wheel).
Then I downloaded the last version of iPhoto.
I restarted from a clean copy of the iPhoto library.=>Same failure.
I try to rebuild everything (except the database which was not an option).=> same failre
I copied a smaller iphoto library on the local hard disc => it works.
