Why does iMovie file stutter after QuickTime upgrade from 6.5.2 to 7.1.3?

I have a fifteen minute iMovie project that played fine with
QT 6.5.2. About a year ago I upgraded to the, then, current QuickTime version - I think it was 7.0.1, or something - and this particular movie file began to playback erratically. A search of Discussions turned up the possibility that QT Version 7 did not work well with Panther. I deinstalled that version of QT and went back to 6.5.2 and the project again played back correctly and I have been happy until recently upgrading to the current version of QT (in order that songs and videos downloaded from iTunes Store will play, for one thing) hoping that the previous glitch might have been fixed. The same movie file that experienced the previous problem is again having fits. At this point in time it is difficult to re-install 6.5.2, nor do I really want to. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get this file to play correctly? Strangely, no other video files have been affected. They all play back correctly using QT 7.1.3 - the current version. What is it about that particular iMovie project?

Erratic playback — sometimes called stutter — can occur in iMovie projects. It tends to be caused by the number of audio clips. But sometimes it's caused by a particular song.

When it occurs because of a particular song, re-importing that song as described in that thread will usually fix the problem. Essentially, the fix involves using iTunes to burn the song onto a CD, then importing the CD AIFF file to the project.

You mean the keychain closes or it locks?

If you are referring to an MOV file stored on a data DVD for playback in the QT (or similar) media player and not a DVD "authored" for commercial DVD device playback, then it sounds like you encoded it incorrectly. Basically DVD devices have a limited data transfer rate and if this rate is lower than the total playback data rate (combined video + audio data rates), then some of the data is not transfered to your computer fast enough for smooth playback in your media player.
I would normally recommend compressing your movie content using the H.264/AAC codecs (most efficient Mac standard codecs) and set the "Optimization" pop-up to the "CD/DVD ROM" setting. This option will "package" the encoded content for playback directly from a DVD player that is compatible with data rate limit you impose for the encode. Another option would be to copy the file from your DVD to your computer drive for playback since hard drive data rate transfer is much greater than that of a DVD player.

Why does memory usage increase after RAM upgrade

I upgraded my MBP RAM from 4GB to 8GB. I'm not running any additional applications, so I expected machine's RAM usage to remain the same as it was before upgrade.
However, my RAM usage has increased to 4.6 GB. Why does my machine need more RAM now for the same lot of programs?

Why does iMovie stop working after a set number of photos?

I have struggled through 3 Photo Storys so far using iMovie, only to be thrwated by the same problem every time! There are hundreds of photos to add, to give you an idea I'm at 11 minutes 44 seconds with 1 second transitions and 4 second photos.
At the same point each time the iMovie project allows photos to be dropped in but are represented by black thumbnails. On playing the movie they are then replaced with previous photos, looped several times. It seems that Apple have put in a maximum limit of photos?
Answers to questions I'm preguessing:
1:     I use iMovie for this because I can use transitions, text etc which is far better than the slideshows that iPhoto create.
2:     The images are no imported in to iPhoto as they are school pictures. Therefore they are stored locally and dragged in to place when needed.
3:     I use Mac OS X Lion and the latest available version of iLife '11.
4:     320gb of free space!
5:     No music in the movie but that doesn't seem to make a difference (First two had sound, third did not).
6:     All images used are JPEG, no CR2 etc...
7:     No files are stored on the network and are only linked locally.

I'm having this problem as well. In my case I'm getting partial 0 byte files, sometimes with temporary hex file names with the .mp4 extension.
I copied the whole library (which was new and only contained one project) over to my laptop, where export then went just fine. I've also been having other QuickTime related issues. You can help pin this down with a few tests:
Open a short .mov video (best taken on iPhone, import with Image Capture) in QuickTime X. Attempt to export to 480p. Does QT crash?
Try to import the same .mov video in iPhoto 9.5.x. Does it import normally to iPhoto? Or do you get "unrecognized format" errors?
Do you see any crash logs for ProTranscoderTool_sb in Console?
If you search for iMovie in console, do you find any lines that mention problems with these files?:
/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/FCP-DAL/iOSScreenCapture.plugin/Contents/MacOS/iOS ScreenCapture
"The bundle “iLMBPhotosPlugin” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources."
/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plug-Ins/iLMBPhotosPlugin.ilmbplugin/Contents/MacOS/i LMBPhotosPlugin
I also wonder if there's any conflict/issue with FCP being installed. Not very helpful but see this link:

Why does mail keep crashing after Mavericks upgrade

and do i resolve?

A general repair to fix odd behaviours in Mail is Mailbox > Rebuild.
You can try restoring Mail from a Time Machine backup.
Hold down the Option key and in the Finder Go > Library
Enter Time Machine.
Select a date before the Mavericks upgrade.
Restore Mail.
Advice from another thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23657222#23657222
Have an up-to-date Time Machine or other backup before attempting any major software updates or rebuilds.

Why does my system freeze after ever update from Firefox...and has gotten very slow

My computer freezes during or after every update that come in automatically recently. It has also gotten extremely slow at the same time.

Your setup looks like it should really fly.
Often when people have serious slowdowns like you mention, it comes down to one of two things:
a) Some problem with the user's account. One way to test if this is the case is to create a new admin user and try running FCP X from this new account. If the same projects that were slow behave well in this account you'll know that some setting, or cache, or login item, or whatnot in your own account is responsible.
b) Some problem with a plugin. If there is a plugin that you use all the time, and maybe was not updated for the current version, and can cause slowdowns, then maybe you think it is the machine. See what plugins you are using, and run a test project without them. Does it run as fast as it should?

Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?

Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?
I created a project a few months ago, and iMovie worked as it always had. I would create a project, add a background song, then add photos to fill up the song.
When I created a project today, I added the background song (4m9s), then added a single photo, and the background song length was shortened to 6 seconds. I have never seen the app work this way. I know I can extend the photo to the length of the background song, but it used to be so much easier to add photos and sync them with the music as I desi
I'm using iPad2 with iMovie v1.4.1.
Thoughts?

When I've added photos to a project they are added to a default time to appear. Honestly I've never looked at the time but 6 seconds sounds close. I'm guessing that since you added the photo after you add the music that its thinking you want the two to match in time length so it tunicates the music. Try adding the photo first then add the music. Good luck!

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?

Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews. We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension). The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation. Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform. Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?

FYI Rave,
There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:

Why does iMovie stretch my images upon importing?

I've got some footage that I'm trying to import, but iMovie stretches out the video horizontally. I shot the footage using my Panasonic Widescreen mode, but why does iMovie take that footage and stretch it out further? Anyone have any thoughts?

If AppleMan1958's suggestion does not resolve your problem, and if iMovie is the ONLY app that is giving problems, your iMovie preferences file may be corrupted.
To check this out, quit all applications. Then throw away your iMovie Preferences file (com.apple.iMovie8.plist) from your Home (user) / Library / Preferences folder.
A new preferences folder will be generated when you restart iMovie to test whether iMovie imports properly now, but you will need to reset any preference settings you want different from the default values.

Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time

why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?

You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
If so, contact your wireless carrier. That's a cellular connection issue.
