When i open imovie, it freezes. why, and what should i do?

I have a very important project to do for school and have to give it back next week. It's on iMovie, and it's a 54minutes video. Since yesterday, I have a problem. I don't know if because it's too big, but when I open it, it freezes, and the little rainbow turns and turns and turns..... And because of that projects, I can't start any other project, and I can't go on any other project. That really freaks me out. PLEASE HELP ME!

Try this:
1. Quit iMovie
2. Restart the Mac
3. Repair permissions (open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utilities folder), select Macintosh HD and choose repair Permissions from the buttons displayed
4. Move iMovie preferences (or trash them). They're at <your usenrame>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovieApp.pList (the name might vary slightly, depending, but will always start com.apple.iMovie...)
5. Delete the iMovie cache (in <your username>/Library/Caches, called com.apple.iMovieApp or similar. Delete the whole folder
6. Restart the Mac.
Hopefully, that will fix it

    Icloud storage is the one you can purchase for 40 bucks for a year and you didn't need to do that - 5 free seem to be enough for you.
    Ipad storage can be only "increased" by buying new bigger sized ipad. Apple makes those up to 128 Gigabyte in size now, but that will cost you a bit more the 40 bucks.

  • Our air mac all of a sudden displayed a console warning box, why, and what should i do?

    Our mac air has given us a warning via console. I am not sure how to deal with it, I have verified disk permissions and stuff but what do I do?
    it includes messages like:
    4/27/14, 11:39:23 AM  kernal: wlEvent: en0 en0 Link UP virtif = 0
    10:10:37 AM imagent: [Warning] Denying xpc connection, task does not have entitlement: com.apple.private.icfcallserver   (soagent:2996)
    The second one is when the Warning Box happened
    Any idea what this means?
    Or what I can do?
    Thanks,
    JanetAq

    Thank you for the link!  I've read it and it kinda opens a whole new can of worms for me.  So if I understand correctly the xmp file stores Metadata because a .CR2 file cannot store the metadata inside of it.   And the storage of this information with the file is necessary if you make metadata changes in Lightroom, and then later want to open that file in a different program.  So if I ever decide to reorganize some of my raw files in Mac's Finder folders than all I have to do is make sure I move the xmp file along with it?  Not separate them? And then my other question is does the xmp file also store the changes I made in developer?  Like the white balance, exposure, lens corrections, etc...?

  • Gray lines (like etch a sketch lines) have appeared on my iPad 2 screen. Why and what should I do about them?

    Gray vertical lines have appeared on my iPad 2 screen. Much like an etch a sketch. What are they and is there anything that can be done about them?

    Do they stay in the same place whichever way up you hold the iPad, and do they still show when you've got an app open ?
    Have you tried a reset to see if they still show after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try restoring to your backup and/or resettings back to factory defaults. But you may need to contact Apple.

  • Index is not used (why and what should i do) table too big

    hi guys,
    having a headache now. (on 10gR2 on linux system)
    I used to have a large table and this is how i managed it. (i am on standard edition (thus i have no partitioning)
    i would have a
    1) cron job run daily to keep track of the lowest and highest ID of the table PER MONTH (inserted into a table)
    2) below is the table
    CDR     MONTH     01-AUG-11 00:00:00     94118236     97584656
    CDR     MONTH     01-SEP-11 00:00:00     97581362     100573669
    CDR     MONTH     01-OCT-11 00:00:00     100570865     103631203
    CDR     MONTH     01-NOV-11 00:00:00     103629760     106497084
    CDR     MONTH     01-DEC-11 00:00:00     106494085     107306335
    so as you can see, for the month of dec for example, the lowest CDR is 10649408 and the highest is 107306335.
    3) so everytime i write a sql on this table if i want to get data for NOV
    select * from cdr where ID >= get_cdr_id('CDR','NOV','SMALLEST');
    and it would be
    select * from cdr where ID >= 103629760;
    In the past, the index will be used (index range scan), but now the optimiser is doing a FTS and is taking too much time.
    therefore i went to force the index
    select /*+INDEX(C, CDR_PK)*/* from cdr C where cdr_id > 103629760 and cdr_id < 106497084;
    and the COST -> 1678927 (CDR, INDEX_ROWID)
    13158 (CDR_PK, RANGE SCAN)
    -- the result return is fast and good.
    without the index
    select * from cdr C where cdr_id > 100570865 and cdr_id < 103631203
    the COST -> 440236 (CDR,FULL)
    -- but the result return is slow like anything
    My question is
    1) which cost should i look at ?
    the one with index hint have much higher COST, but the results return are so FAST.
    1678927 (with hint) compare with 440236 (FTS)
    2) is using the index is the correct way, why isnt my optimiser using it ?! how do i make the optimiser used it ?
    Regards,
    Noob

    About the clustering factor– I think there are two possibilities:
    1) The “clustering factor” is generally correct, i.e. it represents the true value of how the data is “scattered” through the table. The clustering factor for the fragment of data you are interested in (where cdr_id > 100570865 and cdr_id < 103631203), however, is different (smaller).
    2)Oracle did not compute the “clustering factor” correctly. It is not uncommon occurrence, particularly in 10g. This blog entry by Randolf Geist is quite informative - http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2010/01/clusteringfactor-what-if-analysis.html. Comprehensive information on that topic is available in Jonathan Lewis’ book Cost Based Oracle Fundamentals (chapter 5).
    You can make the index more attractive by setting lower “clustering factor” value using DBMS_STATS.SET_INDEX_STATS. If you choose to do that, you should review your whole stats gathering procedure, because the next gathering would most likely reset the “clustering factor” to its old (high) value.

  • NPF is not running? Why and what should I do to troubleshoot?

    I got this NPF error warning when trying to install wireshark and duno how to troubleshoot. Any idea?

    NPF is the WinPcap (Windows Packet Capture) driver installed by Wireshark. (You must ensure the option to install WinPcap is selected when you install Wireshark, unless you have previously installed WinPcap). WinPcap requires administrator privileges to
    load. For the three possible solutions to start Wireshark with the privileges necessary to capture, please read:

    AI DA,
    You should absolutely call AppleCare (1-800-APL-CARE / 1-800-275- 2273) immediately!  If you are unsure on calling or for some reason cannot, there are live chat options available.  Head over to getsupport.apple.com to explore all of the available options!
    Of course, if those options do not work for you, immediately, unplug the MagSafe Charger from both the wall and the computer and do not plug it back in until getting it to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.  Both of which can be located at locate.apple.com.
    Your safety here is more important than anything else!  Don't continue to use any electronic device that is shocking you, or appears to be burning or have been burnt!

  • When I open iMovie, it says that quick time componets are missing, "Please re-install"...When I do that it says that ONLY 9 is supported and I have to have that first. What gives with that?

    What version of iPhoto are you using?
    This is the the first time I have ever launched it.
    Does that mean there are no photos in the library? If so move it to the Trash bin in the Dock and launch iPhoto again.
    If there are photos in the library do the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • I always chose "save & quit" when I close and sometimes all my history is gone when I open Firefox again. Why? It just happened again. Can I get that history back?

    I always chose "save & quit" when I close and sometimes all my history is gone when I open Firefox again. Why? It just happened again. Can I get that history back?

    You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
    Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
    Find your profile folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
    Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?
