Why does the first clip freeze when the second clip should be playing in iMovie '09?

I'm making a video for my film class and it is due tomorrow. But the thing is that when I play the video through, one of the clips gets stuck on the last second of the previous clip. HELP!!!!!

Thanks, Ann. As I mentioned in my post, Tushar correctly pointed out that, without a GPU accelerated card (which I don't have - mine is a piece of junk which I will be replacing with a compatible one soon) you must use the software only settings. I had changed my project over to the 'software only' setting, and I still had the problem. The value Tushar added was the procedure for clearing the cache.
What I did originally was a newbie error, no argument. I posted it here for others who may fall in the same hole. Your reply confirms that, without a GPU accelerated card, use the software only settings (sounds so obvious, yet I missed it.....).

Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up?

Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up? It only happens sometimes, but also happens spontaneously. 21' iMac 2011 model. It just started recenlty after a new firmware update from apple. Any advice or reasons why would be appreciated.

boot to lion recovery and run verify/repair on the hard drive. verify will say: appears to be okay OR needs to be repaired. No matter what outcome, you will repair anyways (as it will do some updating on the volume)
Process: hold command R during startup/ wait till you see mac os utility (might have to select english as the main language first) then disk utility/ select macintosh HD on the left, and then verify/repair on the right bottom side. Cheers!

Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?

Hi -
I have a simple Encore(CS5 Mac) project that is that is "stalling" when played.
The content of the DVD is made from an After Effects(CS5.5 Mac) project so I think I should provide information on that. The 30sec AE project is mostly timeline animation until the last 6 seconds which is video footage. The 7 second video clip is scaled way down from it's original dimensions and then masked off to fit in an area of the AE stage.
I rendered the AE project to a QT MOV with No compression. In this format it was a very large file (939MB) but it played flawlessly in Quicktime on my desktop.
Then I brought that MOV into Encore as a timeline, added a one button menu, and burned a DVD.
The prpoject plays fine until that video comes on. At that instant - the picture freezes for a few seconds - then plays for a second and then freezes again. It does this stop and go until the video ends and then the DVD returns to the simple opening menu.
It seems to choke at the same time each time I replay it but I can't be 100% sure. It's almost as if the disc actually stops spinning.
Why would the DVD freeze when the video content of my DVD project played? What can I do to fix this?
TIA some expert advice.

While I am familiar with the brand name, Imagtion, I do not know what their business model is. Some companies, like Memorex buy the cheapest blank media of that day, and rebrand it, with their logo. Others do the same thing. Poor quality blank media can cause all sorts of issues, such as hanging and skipping - hence my question.
I would do a test burn with high-quality blank media, such as Falcon, Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim, and then burn about 4x on the speed. Test to see if that disc plays, without the skipping and hangling.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why does my photosmart 7510 freeze when trying to print from Sudoku app?

I have had my Photosmart 7510 printer for about a week now and am generally very pleased with it. However, whenever I try to print a Sudoku from the Sudoku App the printer screen freezes and the only way to get the printer working again is to switch it off and on. All in all, I have tried this about 20 times over several days and it froze every time apart from ONCE where it worked fine. Any ideas please? I have tried deleting and re-adding the app as well as disabling and re-enabling web services. Othe apps that I have tried seem to work perfectly. Thanks.

Hello,
How are you connected to the printer, USB or wireless?

Why does latest Firefox 27 freeze on the Mac after I leave minimized for a few hours?

Mac OS 10.6.8
Just updated from FF 26 to FF 27. My issue is that now if I minimize Firefox (using the yellow button in top left corner) and then go away from my computer for a few hours, such as overnight, when I try to restore FF it either will take upwards of one minute to restore, or often won't restore at all, requiring me to force quit it. I can sit here and minimize and restore many times over and over immediately with no issue; it seems to require a "time component" of sitting there minimized for many hours for the issue to manifest itself.
I have the Activity Monitor running and it doesn't show any CPU load worth mentioning during or after this, and i have over 5GB of 8GB total memory free. Nor do I have any other apps running most times except just firefox on this computer.
I can honestly say this issue appeared overnight; did not experience this with version 26, but certainly am now with 27 starting the day I upgraded. The "solution" seems to be to just NOT minimize firefox, and quit / restart regularly?

Why does my macbook shut down when the lid is closed?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (mid-2012) running 10.9.1
Last week out of the blue, the Macbook started shutting down whenever I close the lid.
When I open the lid, the logon screen appears (as if it's been asleep as normal) but almost immediately reboots itself.
Has anyone else got the same issue? Any idea how to resolve?
Thanks

If after you open the lid you do get the login screen, almost immediately, but then it restarts your system is not shutting down when you close the lid. It is going into a sleep state but then crashes when trying to come out of that sleep state. There are quite a few posts on this problem and it seems to be caused by the system going into the Deep Sleep state also known as the hibernate mode. That is where the contents of the RAM is written to the hard drive and the system suspends supplying power to the RAM chips so the system uses even less power then in regular sleep mode.
That is only supposed to happen after the system has been in the regular sleep mode for an extended period of time.
To check the state of the huiberbnate mode open terminal and type in, or copy and paste, this command.
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
To check the state of all power management settings use the command.
pmset -g

Why does a movie/preview freeze when I try to watch it on my itouch?

Why does my itouch freeze when I try to watch a movie/preview from itunes? I tried to watch the preview. I don't want to purchase a movie if that is what is going to happen. The signal on the itouch has full strength. It works when I watch a music video that I have purchased from Itunes. I also have Belkin G-801.11 which is what is required according to the itouch instructions. I have only had the itouch three days and I returned one because of the same thing.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Why does Yahoo! Mail freeze when using Safari?

For over a month now everytime I try to use Yahoo Mail in the Safari browser, the entire broswer freezes and I am forced to quit and reload all other pages I was viewing. Yahoo Mail works fine on every other browser, which is why I believe it is a Safari issue. Normally, I have no issues with Safari, but with Yahoo Mail it is nothing but problems. The page will load just fine, and maybe allow you to open a couple emails, but if you try to do more than that it will freeze, give you the spinning rainbow, and all other tabs open will go blank. All the software on my macbook are up-to-date.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Details
Type yahoo in the search field then click Remove All / Done.
Back to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
And one more time, go to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select the top 5 buttons, click Reset.
Restart your Mac. Try Yahoo mail.
If you continue to have problems with Yahoo mail via Safari, there's an alternative. You can setup your Yahoo account in the pre installed Mac Mail application.
Launch Mail, either from your Dock or the Applications folder.
From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click + under the Accounts list on the left.
Type in your name, your Yahoo user name and password then click Create.
Now instead of having to deal with web based email via a browser, just click your Mac Mail icon in your Dock. When you have unread mail available you'll see a red badge Mail icon in the Dock.
