Why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

Hi
Seems very long time.
When my Mac starts to get into a slow-motion in action eg encoding DVDs or alike - it's nearly always due to that free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk is to low.
• I try to never have less than 25Gb free space
• 10Gb - might work but slows down
• 5Gb - slow and instable
• less - incredibly slow, instable and if DVD is produced - it usually doesn't work
This space can not be utilized on other hard disks - Neither for Mac OS or iMovie or iDVDs temp. files - Has to be stored here. No-where else.
Yours Bengt W

  • Why does it take over two hours to download a movie on Apply tv

    Why does it take over two hours to download a  movie on Apple TV
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netflix uses adaptive streaming and can reduce quality right down to produce a stream as low as 0.5 Mbps.

    How long does it take to move 700gb from time machine to a new iMac?

    That was using an External USB 2 Time Machine Hard Drive.

  • HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
    Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
    You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
    or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
    If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
    Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
    plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.

  • Why does it take so long to get my downloads for a season pass?

    So, I bought a season pass for "How I Met Your Mother" Season 7. 
    The newest episode has been up for download for at least 8 hours, but I still can't download it with my season pass.  Is there a way around this?  How? 
    I live overseas, and this is one of the few indulgences from back home we get.

    Without knowing the specific program you're referring to I can only offer general comments. Rebates are generally processed by a company that specialized in handing those for vendors, and as such, processing amid the many thousands if not millions of other claims takes a while. Most Apple rebate programs I've seen say to allow up to eight weeks for the rebate check or promotional item to arrive.
    Regards.

    Hi Shooter, certainly shouldn't be like that. Obviously here on a public forum your peronal account bdetails aren't available so I'd suggest to get to the bottom of this problem, try the accounts live chat. They can take a look and dig into your account and get this sorted for you: https://livechat.telstra.com/TCOM:ContactUs:Manage 

  • Why does it take 3 hours to download a movie

    Why does it take 3 hours to download a movie on apple tv?  Is there a solution??

    What kind of internet connection speed do you have?
    If you have 3Mbps DSL like I do, and are renting movies on either Apple TV model in HD Format, then it will take quite a while. Actually 3 Hours for an HD Movie would be failry fast here at my home. They are just large files. If I'm going to rent an HD movie, I will usually rent it earlier in the day and watch it when I'm ready.
    If you have an adequate internet connection, and just want to rent movies on the fly and don't care about HD, on the AppleTV v2 you can go to Settings / General / iTunes Store / Video Resolution... and select Standard Definition. With our 3Mbps DSL connection, when we rent a movie it is generally "Ready to Play..." within about 2 minutes at the most (enough time to grab a beer and get comfortable)
    As far as I know, Standard Definition movies still show on the same menu as the HD version with the ATV v1. I preferred that menu format myself because you didn't have to change the option in settings when you wanted to go back and forth.

    I have an 80 Mbps internet download connection and it took 5 hours to download a movie with standard definition from itunes with my apple tv.  It took 3 minutes when I used netflix on my ps3.  Where is apple supports response to these issues?....there are thousands of posts of people with the same problems!  Speedtest.net confirms my download speed is 80 Mbps!  I have reset and restarted my apple tv and download speeds of movies are still unacceptably slow!  What is the point of these discussions when Apple techs don't even read or respond to our posts?
    Not using OpenDNS by any chance?  Using OpenDNS has caused issues as some Apple server access gets re-routed to slow servers (Akamai servers from memory).

  • TS4223 why does it take SO LONG to transfer a movie form my Mac to Apple TV. It tales like an hour. I cannot stream it in the meantime. Very frustrated.

    why does it take so long to transfer a movie form iMac to apple TV hard dirve. This is crazy. it takes like an hour to move a movie that i rent on itunes on iMac to our apple TV. i am so tired of this i don't know what to do...

    I have the exact same problem. I purchased apple tv several years ago, and every time I go to rent or buy a movie it takes anywhere from 3 to 7 hours to download the movie. There is no spur of the moment "hey lets rent a movie tonight" because I know it will take overnight to complete the download. I've checked my internet speed and it spot on. I've noticed other threads with people having the same problem but no one seems to have a solution.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's likely network related, have you checked your internet download speed (speedtest.net) or tried anything to eliminate interference on you local network.

  • Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV?

    Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV? We are connected to Wifi with a good signal, but nothing seems to work well. We can play music for awhile, but then it just drops us.  Tried apple support, not available 'til tomorrow.  Purchased yesterday.
    Actually we watched the movie yesterday, and now it has to load again.  It's on the ipad and plays, no problem.  Want to watch it on the tv.  Any Thoughts?
    Ready to take it back.

    Apple TV has no accessible storage, it will need to load each time. The time it takes is dependent on your network.
    What is your current connection via speedtest.net
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    The signal/network test on the device won't give a proper indication if there is a network issue. You will need to try ethernet to help rule that out, and it will also help to get a network report (istumbler, netstumbler or similar. It will show signal strength and noise as well as nearby networks)

  • Why does it take hours to upload a tv show or movie purchased on iTunes all of sudden?

    Why does it take hours to upload a tv show or movie purchased on iTunes all of sudden?

    Would be due to your network
    Check speedtest.net to verify current speed
    Check istumbler.net or netstumbler to verify any interference
    Make sure you are using ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - automatic)
