Why does iphoto freeze when I try to add a location?

Every time I try to add the location of a photo, I get the spinning color wheel. I ultimately have to force close iphoto to be able to access to program again. Any hints?

Have you set iPhoto to look up Places automatically, in the iPhoto Preferences?

Why does idvd quit when i try to add media from iphoto?

In iDVD, whenever I click Media & then click Photos, it looks like i should be able to select items from iPhoto: But if I click any of the top-level items listed like Events or Photos, iDVD quits/closes without any error messages. This happens in both new & existing iDVD projects (I've never actually used iDVD before today). Also, in iMovie I can ony see older Events & photos in iPhoto when I try to add photos to a project. This makes me think there might be something up with my iPhoto software or its data.
I'm pretty sure I'm using the latest versions of iDVD & iPhoto from the old iLife ('08) included with my MacBook Pro: iDVD version 7.1.2 (1158), iMovie version 8.0.6 (821), & iPhoto version 8.1.2 (424), running on Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I assume the Apple Software Update app automatically installed whatever updates I have over the versions that shipped with my computer.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.

3 - launch IDVD and try again.

Why does iPad freeze when I try to publish a video to YouTube?

When I try to upload a video to youtube from my iPad, the screen freezes when I tap "publish." After several minutes, the YouTube dialog box finally disappears and the preview screen of the video appears with a "Publishing to YouTube" progress bar at the bottom. But the bar never advances and the video never gets published. Does anyone know how to fix? Never had a problem before upgrading to IOS 7.
Why did Apple screw up what was a perfectly easy way to upload videos?

Why does quiktime freeze when i try to play video?

I just reformatted my computer and reinstalled windows xp pro...before i had no problem with itunes or quicktime...but now whenever i try to play video through itunes it will freeze and i have to ctrlaltdelete and then cancel...then itunes will close down...when i try to open a video through quicktime the program freezes so i do the ctrlaltdelete then cancel and this time quicktime will play audio but no video...PLEASE HELP!!! i am going crazy, all drivers are installed and updated, i tried to repair and reinstall itunes and quicktime with no success

I would take a look at the video card driver. The lastest driver for a video card doesn't always mean it is going to be the best one for it or even work without causing problems.
Example, recently when going to microsoft's OS updates, there were a few updates needed, most security related, one was for the secondary monitor's video card. Well after they were installed, the computer would keep re-starting on its own.
Well the last change made was updating the video card driver. So I rolled it back in Device Manager, and that solved the problem. This is why I think it is foolish to have a windows computer setup to automatically update.
The problem your having is difficult to diagnose, more than likely a driver issue. It is not QT because that is only a program.
Hardware not configured properly will definately cause a freeze when playing mulimedia. Mostly if the jumpers are not setup correctly with master/slave for drives and in the BIOS.
Why was the OS XP pro reinstalled?

Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!
Here's the CD Diagnostics:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.
Current user is administrator.

The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive on -128(0xffffff80) media at speed 0X.

Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Truman

Why does cs6 freeze when i try to open a psd file?

I have two files that will not open, the program just freezes and i have to control alt delete out. how can i open this file?

These file may be corrupt if Photoshop CS6 works otherwise. If you upload them to a file sharing server and post a link to them I will download them and see if I can open them in the versions of Photoshop I have installed on my machines.

Iphoto freezes when I try to print a picture

Why does iPhoto freeze when I try to print a photo? I have to force the program closed.

That was a test to determine if the original library was damaged and it was. You did follow the next step but there's one more fix you can try on your damaged library:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - 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
5 - 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.

HT2638 Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos

Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos. I have tried all of the first aid options. Can I only delete small batches? I am trying to organize and edit my 16K + library and deleting small batches is very time consuming. And iphoto is running very slow... Is there simply better software for a large library or tips to erase these photos?

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

Why does my mac when i try to format my stick say that unable to write to the last block of the device

i bought a new mac with osx lion 10.7.why does my mac when i try to format my transcend 8 gb stick in disk utility say that it is unable to write to the last block of the device?please help me

This may or may not work, but it's worth a try.
Using Disk Utility, try an re-partition the drive into two partitions, making the second partition very small (a megabyte or two), then see if you can format the first partition normally. Leave the second partition alone.
If this works, then the first partiton is what you will use.

Why does TB freeze when I click account settings? (Going from Bad to Worse!)

A few days ago I posted a question about migrating backup emails in TB. I got some help, but not a definitive answer to my problems. Unfortunately, my wife and I seem to have created an additional problem which has to be resolved before we go back to the file migrating issue. TB now freezes when I attempt to check an account's settings. This may have been caused by our attempt to copy an old email folder (an .sbd file), into my current profile. This is how it went:
We copied one backed up .sbd folder to
C:\Users\FF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\pnp8j2nf.default\Mail\Local Folders
We saw no changes in TB.
Then, in TB, we created a folder under Local Folders, giving it the same name as the .sbd we had copied. The contents then became visible in TB.
When I tried to check an account's Settings, TB froze. Restarting TB didn't help. Then we tried to backtrack our previous steps by deleting the newly created folder in TB and the .sbd file in Local Folders. I have rebooted TB and PC, but TB still freezes when we try to check Account Settings.
Thinking that we might have corrupted the Profile, we also re-named the 8 character Profiles .default under C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles and C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles, hoping TB would generate a new Profile, but now TB will not start without the profile.
We are wondering if we should delete profiles.ini or delete its contents to force TB to create a new profile. Any advice on what is causing the freeze and how to correct it? Thanks in advance.

Maybe you could still use the Mozbackup tool if you have all your original profile folders and files, the ones you backed up.
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer#w_mozbackup MozBackup]
Make sure the profile you want backed up by MozBackup is at at "C:\Users\"YourUserName"\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird".
Then all you'd need is to remove (keep a backup though) that profile currently at "C:\Users\"YourUserName"\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird".
Then uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird.
Finally, use MozBackup to restore your backed up profile.
