Hi Shauneenb,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are having issues with multiple applications becoming unresponsive I would suggest the steps in the following article, including starting in safe mode.

How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if that will help. And "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility.
Have you got Keychain set to open on Login or is it attempting to open on it's own.

Problems with IE8 "not responding" on windows 7

I have a Toshiba Satellite L-355 that has been upgraded to run Windows 7 Home Premium from Windows Vista. I've been having problems with IE8 "not responding" and have tried running it without add-ons, system restore, and banging my head against the wall. All to no avail. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this? I've tried running other browsers with the same problems.

Intel(R) HM55 Express Chipset LPC Interface Controller
Thanks, sav! That's perfect. (Good to know it shows up in Device Manager for people, too.)
Okay ... although it's the Intel P55 and PM55 chipsets which get all the press about cranky Touch/iPhone connections on Windows 7 systems (the 0xE0000065, -6999 and "Disk can not be read or written to" error messages are the most common, although symptoms can vary further than that), similar sorts of issues look like they could strike other Intel 5-series chipsets ... including your HM55.
So I'm proceeding precisely as I would with someone with a PM55 chipset.
*1) Dell updates*
Some folks with 5-series chipset trouble have got past it by way of BIOS updates. So I thinks it's worth your heading to your Downloads page at Dell, and checking to see if there's any newer versions of your BIOS lurking there. Unfortunately, with the Studio 15s I'm never precisely sure which is the correct downloads page ... so I'd try going to the following Dell page:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx
... enter your service tag, and then drill through to your downloads page.
Any improvement with your syncing performance after applying any available BIOS updates at Dell?
*(2) Adjust power management setting on USB controllers*
If no joy after updating (if you were behind on your BIOS version), try applying the measures from the following document:
[iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB|iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB]
Reboot the PC after making the changes, and then try another sync. Any improvement?
(If either set of measures improves your sync performance, please post back to let us know which one helped for you.)

After I've upgraded my iPhone iOS to 5.0.1, I got problems with connectivity. If my iPhone lose network, then it gets frozzen and I cannot make calls. After restart the telephone still does not work.

I have an iMac. It does not have CD port. I have downloaded CD music on to my PC and syncd with my iPod. I assumed that the iPod would transfer that music to my iMac but it doesn't. Any advice please.

I have an Imac. It does not have a CD port. I have downloaded CD music on to my old PC and sync'd with my iPod. I'd assumed that this would then transfer the same music on to my iMac. That's not the case. I iMac removes music it has not previously stored from my iPod. Any advice please?

iTunes only allows you to transfer songs from an iPod if they were purchased in the iTunes Store.
As they were transferred from a CD, you have to use an application like Senuti > http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ It will transfer the music from an iPod to iTunes

I am runnig Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

I am running Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

plugin-container.exe is used to run Flash and other plugins so if they crash they do not take down your main Firefox session. But... I don't think memory usage would be that different if you tricked Firefox into running Flash inside firefox.exe. (There was a thread with the trick, but I can't recall the details. It was not a regular Firefox setting.)

HT1199 Hi. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks on Macbook air. Every time I open the app it hangs right there and I can't do anything on it. I've uninstall and install it back again but the issue still persists. Any help please?

HI. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks. Everytime I open it up it just hangs right there and I can't do anything with it. I've deleted the app and installed it back again but the problem sitll persists. Any help please?

Thank you so much for helping,
But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

I have upgraded twice to FF 4.0 and both times I have had major problems with it not responding and loading pages very slowly.

I have once again gone back to the older 3.6 version. I love the layout of the new 4.0, but I hate all the lagtime and the fact that it stops responding every few minutes. Will this be addressed? I would much rather have the latest version, but the lags are annoying.

I have also updated to the newest version and enjoyed the new look and layout how ever I have experienced confusing issues. For a few months 4.0 ran without a hitch no problem in sight then all of a sudden each time I loaded any link I would experience no indication of it working. Loading up task manager it was running at least twice at demanding memory usage was also high. The cpu usage was just as it always was which was below 5% even with other programs running. It constantly shows that the browser is "(not responsive)"

Problem with Application Notes

I.m using OS X 10.10.3. A month ago I tried to copy then paste a page from Turbo Tax to my Notes application. This froze my notes. I'm unable to do anything with notes. When I open notes I get that same frozen page from Turbo Tax. No change after a ne re install of OS X, Unable to trash notes. The problem occurred on my Book Air Proc speed 1.7 , Mem   8 GB. I have an older Desk top Mac in the cloud with the same notes but it is unaffected and also does not have that frozen page from Turbo Tax. Suggestions please

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I am getting problems with Firefox not responding and it takes several tries to get to where I want. What causes this?

When I log onto the internet I am now using Google as my home page but my problem still exists. When I go to get a new site I get a message that Firefox is not responding. Then it clears up and I click on something else and it does the same thing. I have even done a complete virus and malware check on my computer. What can I do to correct this?

Please read this thread:

Safari (7.0.1) is non-responsive (spinning pinwheel) upon start up. It will work in temp user account but not in my main user acct. I tried reinstall via comman-r prompt on start up but the problem persists. Any suggestion for reinstall or repair?

Safari is non-responsive after intitial start up. Before it can load the homepage (google), it will hang and give a perpetual pinwheel until I force quit the program. Safari works in temporary user account but not in my primary user account. I have reinstalled osx via the command-r upon start up and the problem still persists. Any suggestions on how to reinstall or repair safari?

Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

I updated to Firefox 5 and now have problems with it not responding ALOT and also even though I have certian sites listed to allow popups they dont work on several sites I use daily. What can I do about this?

I dont know what else to say about it. I updated and now all this is happening and it didnt before my update to Firefox5. I have several site I use daily and I have gone in and marked them to allow popups and they just dont work. The sites are My Yearbook...Kia Financeing...and a few more. And also I am finding that I get a no response a lot!

I am sorry you are not in a position to replace the iPad. It is stating the obvious, but nothing lasts forever - especially something like an original iPad. IMHO, there is nothing you can do to address the issues you have posted about.

Application Not Responding Creative Suite

Having major problems with Application Not Responding in Creative Suites 5 & 6. Whenever trying to quit applications, more than not have to force quit. Would like to be able to quit out of Adobe Apps without force quitting. Also get a lot of spinning wheel of death, that forces us to force quit and restart. Any help would be appreciated.

What system? This behavior has nothing to do with the programs per se, "crashes on exit" always depend on systemic issues. provide the necessary details and crash info:
