Why does iMovie lock up every time I use it?

I am trying to create a new movie and iMovie keeps locking up. This has never happened before. I have no other programs running. Please help.

Thanks for your help.
1st, when I go to software updates, it says all my software is up to date. Perhaps that is because I only have OS 10.7.5 and the updated iPhoto version is for an updated OS version.
I turned off the counts in prefernces and still can empty the trash. It gets stuck and will not empty more than about 1/5 of the trash.
Can you help me figure out the fastest way to back up iPhoto. I have the cloud backup but not sure how to check to see if it is actually backing up my photos. Do you know how to check into this? Is it better to back up on a hard drive?
Thanks again for your help ...

Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

Why does caps lock on every time I open new blank page

Every time I open a new blank page, the Capitalization switches on. It doesnt happen with the other pages I choose. Just the blank document page. This annoying habit continues as I start a new line, and sometimes the underline and Bold format pops on also. I have to keep going into the format header and keep switching them off. After a lot of experimenting, I believe this malfunction is what is screwing up my uploads to the web, by messing with the script. Has anyone encountered this problem or know how to fix it? It only happens with the darkroom template blank page which is the one that my site is built with. I've tried clearing the cache, rebooting ect.

The first two text boxes in the Darkroom page are all caps. But any new text box will be both upper and lower case. It's designed that way. If you want to use lower case then delete those boxes and add new ones in their place.
You can try reinstalling iWeb but I don't think it will help. I'm on a new iMac and that's how the Darkroom theme works on all the pages. The top text box and the next one down.

Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

Actually it does with Ethernet too: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2412?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
On all Macs:
The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
On portable Macs:
The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
Expansion card slots turn off
The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
The optical media drive, if present, spins down
Audio input and output turns off
Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
But see the note about selecting, "Wake For Network Access" in Energy Saver preferences.
Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

It normally updates if there are new images or edits which are picked up from the watch folder. The default watch folder is My Pictures+sub-folders.

Why Does iTunes 6 crash every time I try to open it????

I'm ready to tear my hair out. This is NOT what I want to be doing at 11:43PM. It all started because I wanted to download the song "Wild Thing" the other night. I got a message indicating to download it I have to upgrade to iTunes 6. Given that it's a free upgrade, why not. After a couple of days of assorted problems doing the installation, finally got that right (or so it seemed).
However, every time I click to open iTunes, it immediately crashes. When I click to report the crash to Microsoft and follow the link, I get this message (my narrative continues after the Microsoft info below).
Solution found: contact Apple Computer to obtain the update

Go back to a version of iTunes that worked for you. When I upgraded to 6.0.2, I crashed every time I plugged an iPod in. I went back to 6.0.1, and everything works fine now. Make sure you completely uninstall your current "upgrade" of iTunes, then go to http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
to get a prior version of iTunes for installation.
Please respond if this works. Seems like problems after the 6.0.2 release of iTunes for Windows have been rampant. Like you, I assumed that every upgrade of iTunes was automatically an improvement. Not so, at least for me and a lot of other users.
Good luck.

Why does my phone sync every time I plug my phone into my computer?

Every time I plug my phone through my computer it sync's it. I takes a long time for my phone to sync with my computer. I was wondering why this was happening all the time and why does it take so long to sync?

Because that is the way Apple made it.
Whenever your phone is connected and iTunes is open it syncs.
If for whatever reason you do not want iTunes to open and synch with the iPhone, go into iTunes and turn that feature off.

Why does my screen minimize to left top corner every time I push my left shift button?

I would try going into your System Preferences and reset your keyboard settings to the default setting. It is possible that somehow your shift key got bound to something it shouldnt have been.
