Video Freezing until I scroll over the dock

Tonight when video chatting it kept on freezing both incoming and outgoing video until I would scroll the mouse over the dock. Audio would continue working also.
Ocassionally the camera would shut off as it was "froze" and I could go to Video Preview and that would turn it on again and the other person could see it again.
Any ideas?

Hi Zathras:
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sounds to me, if your processor is may be tied up with other applications. Are you running other applications (widgets included)? Are other user accounts active at the same time?
Have you rebooted lately?

Playhead info for imported video clips is static/constant in iMovie 9 as I scroll over the clips. Is it possible to make it display correct info?

HI, I have been importing videos clips from a SD card to iMovie 09. These clips are analyzed for animal behavior and the timing information for a specific event is critical for proper analyses. Most of the times, the imported clips display correct timing information for a given frame as I scroll over the clips. However, sometimes, some clips show a static or constant timestamp for all the frames in a clip and the timing information doesn't change in the playhead as I scroll over different frames.
For such clips, I was wondering if it's possible to display correct timing information for the frames, and how? Since I only need frame timing info relative to the starting point, I am open to a solution that involves readjusting starting timestamp.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

Several ways to do this.
I would scrub to the in point of the audio you want to change, then drag all the way back to the beginning of the clip. Then EDIT/SPLIT CLIP or right-click/Split Clip. Then go to the out point of the audio clip and drag to the right to the end of the clip. Then Edit/Split Clip. The clip in the middle should have your 25 minutes of audio.
Another way: Use Comment Markers

If neither of those work for you, tell me more about what you are trying to do.

Imovie freezes when i scroll over a project

I've been trying to create a project, and everything goes well until I scroll over my other projects in the iMovie library. I think the problem may be one of the projects, because as soon as it is visible on the computer screen, iMovie freezes and I need to force quit it. I have tried to access the projects through finder, but nothing comes up when I try. Help?

Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

Resizing a window that extends over the Dock

Sometimes a window extends over the Dock, and it becomes difficult to 'select' the little triangle in the bottom right to resize the window. Any attempt to do so 'sees' the Dock icon instead of the window that's overlapping the Dock.
The only way I have found to get around this is to move the window over to the right far enough to get that triangle in the clear space to the right of the Trash icon.
Is that the only way? (Is there perhaps a keystroke that incrementally resizes the selected window to a smaller size than the current one?)
Thanks.

Try this:
property app_name : ""
set user_input to display dialog "Which application's front window would you like to resize?" default answer "" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button "OK"
if button returned of user_input is "OK" then
set app_name to text returned of user_input as string
end if
tell application app_name
activate
try
set bounds of window 1 to {4, 93, 1000, 700}
on error
display dialog "Not possible"
end try
end tell
Just enter the name of the application, e.g. Safari, FireFox. You can set the bounds in the script to anything you want, of course.
It would be nice to be able to detect the frontmost application but so far I can't do that (it sees the script as the frontmost application which is logical enough).

Acrobat Pro 9.0 freezes when viewing/scrolling through the table of contents of a document

I am hoping someone can help me or has experienced the same problem I'm about to describe. I belong to the technical publications group of a fairly large company and I review a lot of PDF documents. I just installed Acrobat 9.0.0 (via CS4 Design Standard) and I've noticed on larger documents where there's a full page or several pages worth of Table of Contents, Acrobat 9.0.0 seems to freeze up when I begin scrolling through the TOC. For example, if I want to use the Text Edit tools or use a sticky note, when I press on an icon, Acrobat will freeze for a good 10 seconds, then will allow you to press the icon. It tends to freeze each time I want to make my next edit or even pressing the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next page. Once I get through the TOC pages, Acrobat seems to function normally--no freezes.
Has anyone experienced this? Would appreciate any kind of advice on how to fix--perhaps there's a patch or update?
I didn't experience any of this using Acrobat 8.0--I never had any real problems with Acrobat until 9.0.0.

Your issue may not be related to a difference between v8 and 9.
I have not had this problem on my computers, but a coworker had this issue. For many documents that others were able to open and scroll through without issue, his computer was freezing and unfreezing. IT determined his graphics capabilities were not able to keep up with the requirements of working with larger documents and gave his computer a RAM upgrade and a new graphics card. Particularly during scrolling, higher demands are made on the computer to graphically render and re-render page content. Documents giving him problems before became a non-issue.
A new graphics card is obviously a $$$ solution, but you might want to check to see if your RAM meets the minimum requirements and check to see if there are any program updates (Help > Check for Updates).
I have had an issue of pdfs freezing, but not specifically in the table of contents areas. If your document has pages with images that have an unusually high number of layers, it may affect the ability to work effectively in the document.

RealPlayer "Download This Video" Button shows up all over the page

When I roll my mouse across a page "Download This Video" shows up at all kinds of places where there is no video. Not a problem in V3.6
I use Win7.

Sorry, but both the:
"Download This Video to Real Player" appears in the FlashPlayer right-click context menu"
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402905.html
and the:
"Content creators are currently able to prevent this button from appearing by publishing content as ActionScript 3.0 or by passing FlashVars to the SWF file through HTML. "http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402905.html
forum threads give the 404 Error page.
Is it still possible to prevent RealPlayer from downloading any swf???
I'm developing in the Flex 3.5 framework and see this annoying RealPlayer download button.
For me, it's not even a matter of securing my copyrights, but of giving the user a smooth experience. This RealPlayer annoying button just gets in the middle of my navigation buttons, just to say "Video cannot be downloaded"... Apart from bothering my users, it spoils my desing. It's very frustrating.
Thx guys

How do I zoom a window over the dock when option is locked

I have a non administrator account which my kids use. I want to be able to zoom a browser window to take up the whole screen., OS X won't let me make the browser window cover the dock. The dock is gigantic by default.
1. Is there a way to "zoom" a browser/screen/window to full screen size?
2. If not, then I have another problem. For this non admin account, the system preferences for the Dock are "greyed out" (insensitive) for Position on Screen and "Automatically hide and show the Dock"
Message was edited by: Brad Shuler1

is that account just a regular standard account or do you have parental controls on it? if so do you use simple finder? please clarify. using simple finder limits what you can do with the dock.

After several minutes, the solid blue bar at the very top goes light blue and 'freezes' until I click on the bar. Then it's restored. This is constant. How do I fix it?

The dark blue bar will eventually go to a light blue, the mouse arrow disappears, and all is 'frozen' until I manually click on the blue bar. Then, it's back to normal and the bar turns dark blue. Many minutes elapse then it repeats over and over. What setting is there to fix this?

Does this still happen if you start Firefox with '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes|extensions disabled]]'''?
[http://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/gq288/double_window_does_anyone_else_have_that_problem/ This page] has a report from another user with the same problem, who says the problem went away after disabling extensions.

IPhoto freezes when i open the app, each time it is open on the same photo and when i try to swap to another photo it freezes until i force quit the app.

I have recently come back from a trip to Venice, i uploaded my photos to iPhoto to view and edit them, half way through the photos from day three of my trip it has frozen on a particular photo. I force quit the app and then re open it and it is still on the same image with the exact same problem. I am now unable to view any photos of my trip as they're all on iPhoto and i cannot access the albums because they are stuck on this one photo. I need to be able to access them by 11th March because i have a project due in about our trip and we need to include the best of our photos and at the moment i am being stopped from even looking at them. PLEASE HELP!

What version of iPhoto?
Assuming 09 or later:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

My pointer, becomes a hand and it will not activate message in email when I scroll over the message I would like to open. How can I eliminate the hand tool?

Need help with deactivating this feature. The pointer becomes a hand, when I hover over email messages. What can I do to eliminate this situation?

The answer depends, in part, on which website you use for email. Volunteers often have accounts on Gmail, Yahoo mail, and Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail). Other sites might require more guesswork...
Meanwhile, here are some general suggestions:
'''Clear obsolete files and data'''
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your mail site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
'''Bypass possible problem add-ons temporarily'''
Firefox's Safe Mode is a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

When I attempt to Bookmark something I scroll over the small window that opens and it close's and doesnt let me choose what to name it or where to save it to.

Since I've updated whenever I try to bookmark something it opens the small window and then as soon as I mouse over it to type in a name or just generally move the mouse the box disappear's and bookmarks it, It refuses to let me choose a destination folder or change the name because as soon as I try to do either the box disappears.

same problem here, you might happen to have problem with the password saving window also
apparantly starting firefox in safe mode revolves the issue but im not sure what is casuing it i have disabled all of the addons / extensions manually and it does the same as you said
however once i set it to safe mode it works
do you possibly use McAffee im trying to narrow down the causes
