• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I hope this is the appropriate forum for this posting.

I am running iLife, 2009 and just completed importing about 7 gigs of pictures and movies from our iMac to my MBP via two DVD's. The laptop has 4 GB of RAM and has more than enough space on a 7200 rpm 320 GB internal HD.

After doing this, I got the freezing/rotating beachball. Everything was fine on the iMac. I have to do a hard restart to get things going again.

Also, when I did the import, I lost some pictures from a particular event on both machines. Any ideas on this?

Did you click on Faces or Places. I'm thinking that after the import iMovie is analyzing the pictures. It happened to me when upgrading to iLife 09, but I can't remember if I witnessed the beach ball.

I just tried this. Neither faces or places were active. I opened a couple of photos, then it froze. I have no idea what's going on. Thanks for your suggestion, though.
