Why is my 8minute iMovie using  15g of storage and causing severe lag in the program?

Ive never used iMovie before but started playing with my photos and videos and was happy with how easily i could blend them together with music from iTunes and cute little transitions.  The frustration came when I started running out of space on my macbook pro.  I had around 15g of storage left and after about an 8minute video, was getting notifications that my start-up disk was almost full.  WHAT?!?!?! these are all clips and vids imported from my iphone.  Im not too technically savey when it comes to stuff like this but how is it that a few small photos and movie clips blended with a little bit of music is eating so much of my computer's storage?  Also, the program became very laggy and started to disfigure the top status bar.  All the words are messed up and jumbled.  Why am I having this issue????  It’s extremely aggravating!!!!! 

It is normal that the render files are around 5 times larger than the raw movie files.  Unlike the raw files they are not compressed in order to make editing and playing in the veiwer faster.   I would recommend that you put your iMovie libraries on an external disk.

  • Anyone having issues using "iPhoneconfigutility?"  I downloaded it several times, but the program never opens.

    Anyone having problems using, "iPhoneconfigutility

    I've tried installing, reinstalling and removing and installing itunes 9.1 but the program will not start. I have clicked on the desktop shortcut, the itunes.exe in the program folder but all i get is a brief loading hourglass and then nothing. I have checked in task manager and the programs itunes.exe and ituneshelper.exe are in the processes window but the program is not visible on the desktop.
    Starting some basic-principles troubleshooting here, if you're game.
    The first thing to try isn't a cure in itself, but can rule out some possible causes of problems, and narrow in on others. We're going to check to see if this is a systemwide issue or if it is specific to one particular user account.
    From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
    Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
    Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process. Give the new user account full administrative rights.
    Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu. Log into the newly created user account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
    Launch itunes in the new account. The setup assistant will/should run. Do not add any files when prompted to do so (if things get that far). Just let it eventually open to an empty library.
    ... does it eventually open to an empty library? Or do you get the same sort of behavior as in the usual user account?

    Hi,
    I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
    i.e without adding an Apple ID
    iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
    I would try this.
    Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
    Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the  Server)
    On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number  is ticked for iMessages.
    If it is add the Apple ID
    On the Mac restart Messages
    Add the Apple ID
    At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
    Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

  • Is it possible to use both an ILB and an ELB (listening on the same port) in the same Azure cloud service?

    I'm building a test Lync deployment on Azure; yes, I know this is not supported, hence "test".
    Lync Front-End servers expose two set of web services, one for internal users and one for external ones; they listen on different ports (443 and 4443) on the same servers; when external services are published, you need a reverse proxy or a port forwarding
    in order to map port 443 of a public IP address to port 4443 of the Front-End server(s). When you have multiple Front-End servers in a pool, you also need to load-balance them.
    So, a typical Lync deployment looks like this:
           Internal users
                     |
                   443
                      |
              Internal LB
            192.168.0.20
            443         443
              |               |
       Lync FE 1     Lync FE 2
    192.168.0.21 192.168.0.22
              |               |
          4443        4443
              External LB
           Public IP Address
                     |
                  443
                     |
           External Users
    This should be easily replicated in Azure, as it supports both external load balancing and internal load balancing. They are even supported together in the same cloud service, so this configuration should be easy. However, it looks like "should"
    is the keyword here.
    After creating the external load balanced endpoint (which listens on external port 443 and forwards to port 4443 on the servers), I'm trying to create an internal load balancer and add internal endpoints to is; however, while the ILB can be created successfully,
    adding an internal endpoint listening on port 443 and forwarding to port 443 on the servers fails miserably, with an error stating that port 443 is already in use by another endpoint:
    Update-AzureVM : BadRequest : Port 443 is already in use by one of the endpoints in this deployment. Ensure that the port numbers are unique across endpoints within a deployment.
    For reference, my commands are:
    Add-AzureInternalLoadBalancer -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB" -ServiceName "LyncFrontEnd" -SubnetName "LabSubnet" -StaticVNetIPAddress 192.168.0.20
    (This completes successfully)
    Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "Https-Int" -Protocol "tcp" -LocalPort 443 -PublicPort 443 -LBSetName "HttpsIntLB" -DefaultProbe -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB"
    (This fails)
    The existing external endpoint is configured as such:
    Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | get-azureendpoint
    LBSetName : HttpsExtLB
    LocalPort : 4443
    Name : HTTPS-Ext
    Port : 443
    Protocol : tcp
    Vip :
    ProbePath :
    ProbePort : 4443
    ProbeProtocol : tcp
    ProbeIntervalInSeconds : 15
    ProbeTimeoutInSeconds : 31
    EnableDirectServerReturn : False
    Acl : {}
    InternalLoadBalancerName :
    IdleTimeoutInMinutes :
    LoadBalancerDistribution :
    The error doesn't even make a lot of sense; the external load balancer listens on a public IP address, while the internal load balancer listens on a private IP address in the internal network; there
    shouldn't be any conflict here... however it looks like there is one instead.
    Why doesn't this work? Am I doing something wrong, or is Azure networking just being silly as usual again?

    Hello Massimo Pascucci,
    The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
    known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
    There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

  • Why I-Photo would keep Crashing/ Freezing on me and causing me to force quit.

    why I-Photo would keep Crashing/ Freezing on me and causing me to force quit.

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

    Trying to update my apps but it keeps saying update my credit card,I don't want to use a credit card and I can't delete the one that's on my account

    If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
    You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

  • HT201485 why do I have to enter my Apple ID and Password several times each time I launch iTunes

    Why do I have to enter my Apple ID and password several times to enable automatic downloads each time I launch iTunes? I get no password errors.
    I've also notice that some secure websites, e.g., banks, tell me each time I log on to them  that they don't recognize my computer. I don't know if that's related.
    I use two different wifi networks each day, one work, one home
    I am using OS X 10.10.1 on a macbook pro retina, mid 2012
    2.6 ghz core i7 8GB,
    iTunes 12.0.1.26

    That seems strange. Try an iPad reset and see if this fixes the problem,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/120277/how-to-install-flash-on-the-nexus-7-and-other-jelly-bean-devices/
    You do not need a Beta channel build of Firefox (which currently is 32.0b6) to use Flash as the issue was you needed Firefox 27.0 or newer to use the old Flash 11.1 plugin on Android '''4.4'''. after it came out on tablets/phones.
    What Nexus 7 version do you have as there was a 2012 and a 2013 model. A easy way to tell if it is a 2013 is it has a camera on each '''back''' and front while 2012 only has one on front.
    If it is the 2012 then it has a Nvidia Tegra 3 so the old Flash 11.1 Plugin is disabled.
    For reading only as Bugzilla is not a discussion forum or for "me too" comments.

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

    Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
    Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

    Yes.  
    And will it restore if the hd isn't even there? Like what if it got stolen or destroyed.
    Also yes.
    Directly-connected external drives (ie, USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt) are not backed-up by default.  You must remove them from the exclusion list in Time Machine Preferences > Options to get them backed-up.  (Network drives cannot be backed-up.)
    And they must be formatted for a Mac -- any variation of Mac OS Extended.
    If the drive is connected, you can browse or restore normally -- just go to the folder or document in question and Enter Time Machine.
    If the drive is not connected, it's a bit different.  See #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
