Upgraded to '11 and it freezes during import, alternatives?

Hi, I "upgraded" to '11 and it will not open. It freezes during startup (during loading) and I am forced to force quit. This is making me nuts and has me seriously reconsidering my near thirty year commitment to Apple. I have scanned the web and while I gather it is a common problem, none of the frequent cures does anything for me. I deleted my Flip program and don't have Divx for example.
So, is it possible to get and install an older version at this point? I read some say the 2006 version was stable. Any reasonable alternatives to iMovie? I am trying to make a time lapse movie using photos taken with the iMotion app on my ipod. Also, can I get my money back from the app store?
I would love some advice or pointers to a thread if this has been covered (hoped it would be in an FAQ somewhere), thanks!
David

I would suggest that you contact Apple at the Contact Us link at the bottom right of this page.

Error decompressing - now AME and Premiere freeze during import

The person who gave me this footage compressed it from an AVI. I'm not very good with codecs and what not, so I hope y'all can point me in the right direction.
Playback is fine, just no import. Other MP4s play and import fine.
Running CS6 and just purchased QuickTime Pro 7 in hopes it would help, but no luck. With the long list of InstalledCodecs (report below), I'm hesitant to disable any because as I said I'm not sure which are what. I would love to just re-install this entire damn OS and Suite and hope for the best - but I really just want to work with this clip already.

It would take a couple days, and I really need to start working on the video now.
The file extension was actually MPG, not MP4; it had changed when I was trying to try different solutions.
Any idea how I can convert this to something I can edit?
AME spit this out after not being able to import:

PSE 11 repeatedly freezes during import

PSE 11 repeatedly freezes during importing into Organizer. Sometimes it's the same photo, but it imports the photo when I import it in a smaller batch. I really don't want to import photos in small batches. That's crazy!

I would suggest that you contact Apple at the Contact Us link at the bottom right of this page.

I have just upgraded latest iphoto upgrade on macbook and it freezes between steps 5 and 9 HEEEELP

i have just upgraded latest iphoto upgrade on macbook and it freezes between steps 5 and 9 HEEEELP

No I mean make a backup of it prior to upgrading - this should always be done - bad things can happen
for this prupose simply duplicating the iPhoto library (if you have adaquate disk space) works fine

Separation of RAW and jpeg formats during import?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Mac and more specifically iPhoto 11.......having fun though!!
Does anybody know whether iPhoto has the functionality to separate or create sub folders for both RAW and jpeg picture formats during importing?
This would save a fair bit of time manually moving photos between folders!!
I believe Aperture has the ability but I'm not ready to upgrade just yet.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Craig

No it doesn't.
Some possibilities:
1. Use Smart Albums to separate them
2. Remember that when you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically creates a Jpeg preview. So, now you have two jpegs of the same Raw. Do you need to shoot both Raw and Jpeg?
Regards

I upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer import photos from my camera

I have a Canon Eos Rebel SLR Digital Camera (Model DS6041). It has always worked perfectly with iPhoto on my iMac running Maverick. I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday and now when I plug the camera in...iPhoto opens...and it shows the camera listed in the pane on the left but in the upper right hand corner of the main photo window it just continually says "Loading". I plugged it into my wife's Macbook Air which was also upgraded yesterday morning and it did the same thing. In order to make sure it was a problem with Yosemite and not my camera...I plugged it into my dad's Macbook Air which HASN'T been upgraded. It is still running Maverick. His Macbook immediately recognized the photos and loaded them and was ready for me to import. Does anyone know what is going on with the Yosemite upgrade and if it is being looked at? Thank you.

Have you guys tried this?... It worked for me
I called Canon and they said to change a setting on the camera and for me it worked. They said to go to the settings menu and go to communication... on my camera there are two choices... Normal (PC) and PTP. Mine was set to normal and always worked fine. After the Yosemite update...it no longer worked. Yesterday I changed it to PTP and the pictures popped right up. Hopefully you have similar settings in your camera and can try this...

Importing music very slow 0.5x and iTunes freezes during every backup

Everytime I plug my iPod into my computer it freezes and I need to end app also while importing new CDs they are taking about 2-3hrs and it's only transferring at 0.5x. My pc is a windows xp sp3 2.68GHz 760 RAM

I have had some help and have tried many things to resolve this. Bottom line, it was the CD reader. I tried to load the same "slow loading" CD into someone else's computer and it went in faster than I've ever seen (9.5X - 13X). I borrowed his CD reader and put in in my machine and it worked fine for the 5 CD of the 100 I had left to load because they loaded so slow. This time, there was one of these 5 that read in at 1.1X. Again, I borrowed a different CD reader, put it in my machine, and it read fine. This problem was NOT program/system related: I tried cleaning files, running Adware, Antivirus, defrag, etc.) I read/burn lots of CDs and must wear them out in my laptop.

Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3. Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems. Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4). Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade. After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present). Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture. Anybody else having similar problems?

Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist. Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system. We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files. Totally frustrated. Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality. Was also running dog-slow. Constantly looking at the spinning wheel. Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine.
Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues. Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
I had to:
1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
5. Reinstalled iLife apps
5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was. Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!) by installing Lion.

I have upgraded to Mavericks and I now cannot import DV into FCP through the capture presets.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I cannot import DV vision through my Sony FX-1E. I have tried various connections - DV to Firewire 400 + 800 with no success. I now have to get the vision ingested at another facility and exported to a hard drive in order to edit.
Is there a way I can get vision into FCP?

FCP (not FCPX) is legacy software, now EOL and not designed or guaranteed to work with Mavericks, some people report no problems others do, it depends on your setup. I'd suggest using iMovie to capture your footage then transfer to FCP to save using (or paying) another facility. An alternative (and my own solution) is a second boot drive with 10.8.5 and FCP 7 which still works OK.

My iPhoto keeps freezing during import?

I just downloaded the new iPhoto from the app store, but it keeps freezing in the middle of importing

I just downloaded the new iPhoto from the app store, but it keeps freezing in the middle of importing
If rebuilding the iPhoto Library as suggested by LarryHN does not help in this case, try to import using Image Capture.
Maybe one of your photos or videos is unreadable and needs to be removed, before you can import to iPhoto.
With Image Capture you can import to a folder on your Desktop, inspect the photos, if they are readable, and then import them to iPhoto from this folder.

Freezes during Import from Camera

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a new Macbook (exciting isn't it?) absolutely love it but I am having one small issue with iPhoto. Whenever I try to import some media from my camera iPhoto freezes whenever it comes to a video. Is there anything I can do about this? Is there a way to specify what I take from my camera?
Thanks guys.

Hello.
If your camera mounts on your desktop as an external drive, ignore the iPhoto Import Window that opens when you connect the camera. Instead, do File > Import to library. This brings up a window you can navigate to select your photos for import. You can even set it to column view and see a preview of files before you import. Select the photos you want and Import them. Then try a video clip and see if iPhoto can import it.
If your camera does not mount on the desktop, you can use a card reader, which does. The above procedure will then work.
If iPhoto does not like the video clips, use Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload them. Image Capture gives you the option to "import some..." and select the files from the device. Upload to a folder anywhere NOT in the iPhoto Library folder. When done you can import into iPhoto and delete the initial location.
I have only recently begun having trouble getting iPhoto to upload video clips from my camera card. What changed (besides the recent software updates) is that I got my first 2 Gig card. I don't know if the problem with my video clips lies with iPhoto or with my older card reader not liking the 2 Gig card. I suspect it's the latter. Anyway, I upload my photos directly into iPhoto. Then I open Image Capture, select a video clip, and upload to the desktop. Image Capture seems to stall or freeze when uploading. The progress bar makes no visible progress. I have to click Cancel for the upload, then eject the card. After I do this, the movie file will appear on my desktop. I have only got this to work with one movie at a time. The first time I had to Force Quit my camera card ("mass storage"), but after doing so the video clip was there. Once on my desktop, iPhoto has no trouble importing the clips. It's not pretty, but it works. And once I fill this 2 Gig card, I'm going back to the trusty 1 Gig cards. (Until I feel like buying a new card reader.)

Lightroom 4 is freezing during import of photos

The whole program is very sluggish, but when I go to import photos, is freezes while acquiring the thumbnails. If it comes out of the freeze, when I click import, it takes 30 minutes to get one photo then freezes again. If I cancel and close the program, it will not start again unless I restart the computer. Help??

I am using Windows 7 64 bit and LR 4.1. I am on a HP Touchsmart Desktop. This problem does not occur on my laptop which runs the same OS. I have tried importing tethered, from my SD card using the card reader on the computer, and also from CD/DVD. This happens every time I try to import using one of these methods. It does not happen when I import photos already on the computer. It takes about a half hour to import 1 image and then it just seems to quit. I have tried navigating to a different module, etc. and the import never finishes. While it isn't a huge deal to copy the photos to the computer first, I want the program to work correctly. I read in another thread that Adobe directed someone to try disabling their USB ports one by one because there is a conflict somewhere. I am unwilling to do this as I use all of my ports and I do not want to mess with the computer....It worked fine with LR 3. I would just like to know what the problem is. I have read on other sites after searching this problem that a lot of people are experiencing the same thing. I would like to know if Adobe is looking into this and if there is something we can do to fix it. I am curious if it could be a problem with the download/installation of the program itself, since I do not have the same issue on the laptop.

Help with timecode and video freeze during Print to Video

This has happened twice in last couple months. Timeline is usually around 22 - 23 minutes. At some point during playback to HDV deck using Print to Video via FireWire, the timecode freezes and so does the video for approx. 2-3 seconds, then resumes on 2-3 seconds later in the timeline. Everything is still in perfect sync. Playing back the timeline on computer reveals nothing. Please, does anyone have any suggestions at all??

You should be mixing down the audio before you record to tape, try that if you haven't done it first...
If that fails, export a self contained QuickTime movie, then see if it doesn't print to video or edit to tape better.
Use the fastest drive you have for the QT movie's playback, and it should be something other than your startup disk.

Freezing during import

Every time I put a CD in to import, then itunes freezes and I cannot continue. I have tried restarting and downloading the latest itunes, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Hi amnqf.
Welcome to the boards! Are you getting any messages or just can't continue?
Have you tried ejecting your disk and reinserting your disk?
What kind of disk, cd is it?

Ipod isn't recognize by 7.0 and iTunes freezes during 1.2 installation

I have a two problems with my ipod since upgrading to version 7.0. First, when I connect my ipod to my computer, iTunes doesn't always pop up like it should. When I open iTunes, it doesn't always recognize the ipod at all. However, if I reboot, and then connect the ipod and then open iTunes manually, it recognizes. If I close out and then go back into iTunes or disconnect the ipod and reconnect, iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod. I have to reboot every time I want to use iTunes and my iPod.
Second, when the iPod is recognized and I open iTunes, it asks me "Do you want to install ipod software 1.2?" I click Install, iTunes freezes. There's this bar that goes back and forth, but that's it. The ipod itself doesn't display "do not disconnect," it's just has the main menu on the screen. I tried giving it needs some time to install, so I let my computer sit there for 4 hours, but still nothing. The same bar goes back and forth, nothing changes. I have to Ctrl + Alt + Del to exit out of iTunes. I reinstalled the ipod and itunes software from the CD and restored at least 5 times each. I keep running into the same problems. I verified that my laptop meets all of the Windows requirements for 7.0, but I can't figure out what the problem is.
Does anyone else have these issues?

I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((
