Major crashing and performance problems, apparently since 10.6.1

Hi there
Since I updated to 10.6.1, I've had significant problems with my black MacBook, Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz. I get the spinning beach ball holding me up all the time (twice since I've started typing this message), the fan goes crazy, applications just crash and hang, and on a few occasions the whole window server has just crashed, killing all my apps and dumping me out at a login prompt.
I've looked in the console and seen a variety of messages, some related to Windowserver, e.g.:
[598] kCGErrorIllegalArgument: _CGXMapShmemInternal : Invalid shared memory id
[112] kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGXSetWindowListTags: Operation on a window 0x2 not owned by caller (PID 179)
[112] kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGXSetWindowListTags: Operation on a window 0x7 not owned by caller loginwindow
some related to I/O:
kernel disk0s2: I/O error.
and of course the latter make me think about disk problems. However the disk is only 6 months old, I replaced the one that came with the computer which died in March, and this one's been perfectly alright up until now, so I've checked the disk with Disk Utility and /sbin/fsck -fy in single user mode, and both say there's nothing wrong with it. I have an external LaCie 2Big RAID attached by Firewire which is my TimeMachine volume, and I've run Disk Utility against that and again, it says there's no problem.
I've rebooted in safe mode, single user mode, verbose mode, all of it says everything's fine. I've switched off Spotlight indexing, as I thought it might be that. I'm getting nowhere - haven't had a window server crash for a couple of days, but applications randomly take ages to start, cursors just hang waiting on the beach ball, and sometimes if I leave Activity Monitor running I see applications just go red "not responding" for a while and then just start responding again later, with nothing in the system/console/'all messages' log to indicate there was ever a problem.
I've got 168.3GB free space out of 250GB available on the boot disk; Activity Monitor says 1.17GB free RAM. 'top' says PhysMem: 1247M free. I've checked the memory in single user mode by running '/usr/bin/memtest all 20' and it says everything's fine.
There are a variety of other error messages, lots of warning to do with multiple kernel dependencies which I think are probably deprecation warnings, but a lot of which I don't know much detail about. The point is, none of this was happening before I upgraded to 10.6.1, and now that I have, it's making my computer nigh on unusable at times.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Igor

Hi again. Right, Thursday night it crashed, just hanging there, so I force-restarted with the power button, and it wouldn't boot. disk0s2: I/O error in console. Great, dead disk, I think; well, a shame that neither Disk Utility nor fsck told me anything about it, but at least that explains things.
So today I went out and bought a Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200rpm 2.5" SATA disk, took it home, plugged it in, partitioned the disk, did a restore from Time Machine, and pressed "Restart from restored system". Bang. Nothing. Option-restart: only shows SL install DVD. Console: nothing. Reboot into installer, doesn't even show Seagate in Disk Utility. Swap old disk back in, same as before, disk I/O error. Try new one again, nothing. Start thinking I might be in for a big bill or a new Mac, try once more, boots fine. All working fine except Mail which gives me this:
"You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X
You have Mail version 4.1 (1076/1075.2). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.1 (Build 10B504). For more information, click the Help button."
So:
a) What might be up with the computer that it sometimes can't see the HD? I'm trying to make sure the disk is securely seated, but it's as far as I can see identical in shape to the last one, with which I carted the Mac around over the last few months without any such problems. Connections? Motherboard? SATA bus? How can I find out? This is going to be expensive, isn't it?
b) In the meantime, while I have the thing booted and working, how do I fix the above? I simply restored the whole system from a Time Machine backup about 4 hours before the computer died the other night, didn't do anything funny at all: how can the versions be wrong? Software Update says I have no updates necessary, where do I find an installer?
Cheers

  • IPad 1 email and performance problems ios5

    Since I upgraded my iPad 1(wifi only) to iOS 5' I have been having numerous performance problems, and my email continuously sys "checking Email". I have tried restarting my iPod ith no luck. Deleting d reading the accounts woks briefly, but after 15-20 minutes the email problem ones back. The update has relly crippled my iPad.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas to resolve it?
    Regards,
    Jason

    While Downgrading is not actually supported by Apple I found a video on You Type that walked me through it. Just do a search on You tube and you will find it. The one I used was by lizards821. His videos cover any errors you might have.
    Once I reverted, I then did a restore from the backup I made when upgrading to IOS 5 and all of my apps were restored while keeping my downgraded IOS.
    Good Luck, it was well worth it for me. I have the stable IPAD I love so much back again.

  • Album app crashes and other problems

    I have my Z1 Compact for about 3 months now and I am countering bugs that effect the most basic uses of the phone.
    - First the Album app crashes everytime I go to "Folders" it been like that before the latest update, and afterwards.
    - The screen proximity sensor is not doing it's job. While I'm on a call sometimes my face touches different button like airplane mode, or while I'm getting a call and the phone is in my pocket my thigh touchs buttons and answer to calls.
    - The favorite contact tab sometimes is blank, although I do have favorites.
    - The Message app is slow and if I don't wait for it to complete sending a message and I go to the home screen, the app keeps it as draft although the message was sent..
    - Camera sometimes freeze but that's been discussed enough.
    - Other apps get stuck and crash sporadicaly. 
    I have to say that my 3 years old iphone 4 had less bugs, so its really hard for me to say I upgraded my smartphone.
    Sony better do something about your own apps, because this phone doesn't worth the price and has many compatitors.

    Since last version the Album cannot play gif. properly. Some image have enlarge and some pixels crack in both thumbnail preview and actual view . But the Favorite preview play just fine till I tapped to view and the same problem accure.
    So I gave up on new version and back to factory version which kind of irritating....
    Anyway I waited for this latest version. In this version the thumbnail preview look fine but when tapped to see the gif.still cannot played.
    This doesn't make any sense
    Why new version is worst than FACTORY VERSION
    Thank you for considering

  • My computer crashed and now problems reconnecting ipod-itunes.HELP

    My computer recently crashed and I'm having some problems connecting things back together. Being that i lost everything on my computer, and had to reinstall the hard drive, I lost itunes and all the songs on my computer in the process, but yet I still have my ipod loaded with songs. Seeing that I'm away from home and at school, I don't have the software to reinstall my ipod. I recently downloaded a newer version of Itunes and tried connecting my ipod to it. But i get the message, " the ipod "my name" is linked to another itunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this itunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this ipod with those from this library." Obviously I dont want to do that and clear out my ipod. I'm lost with what i should do to be able to connect my ipod back with an itunes programs without losing any songs, and being able to upload cds again to my ipod via itunes. PLEASE HELP

    First of all, click 'no' to that message, then go to the iPod options and set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
    Then you can get the songs off your iPod and into the new iTunes libary.
    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
    When all the songs are safely back in iTunes (and not before), then you can change the iPod back to automatic transfer and continue using the iPod and iTunes as normal.

  • App Crash and Hang Problem

    My App is already on store. It is 'File Locker' named App. It is for Windows store 8.1 only.
    Users are complaining that the App crashes and so they loose their files. They are not able to open/see the locked files anymore in the App. Some Can't even see the main page of the App after crash.
    These are some failure names I got from App dashboard:
    APPLICATION_HANG_ACTIVATION
    CLR_EXCEPTION_System.IndexOutOfRangeException
    CLR_EXCEPTION_SYSTEM.UNAUTHORIZEDACCESSEXCEPTION
    Can anyone please tell me what should I do in order to fix these issues?
    As in my PC, the App is running fine,without any problem.
    And According to the reviews and rating, I found out that the App is working fine with some while others are getting hell of the issues.
    Please give suggestions.

    Hi Dev06,
    Per my understanding, the windows dashboard may has a channel to get the crash dump. Try getting it and use tool to analyze this dump file. See how to analyzing crash reports in windows store app.

  • Sound loss, crashes and other problems

    Hello,
    I have been having some serious problems over the past several months.
    In the past it was fairly manageable, but recently things have been getting worse.
    I have a 12-inch PowerBook G4, I bought it at the McGill bookstore in October 2004. The first problem was the apparently random crashes that Mac OS X (v.10.4.8) would experience from time to time. It was fairly infrequent at first so it didn't bother me too much (and I thought it was just some sort of glitch). But it persisted and came to be expected.
    What would happen is that my screen would darken and center box would appear telling me, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." (it would display this message in English, French, German, and Japanese for my convenience). After I restart the computer I get the message, "The computer was restarted after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly". At first it seemed to be linked to time; after a while it would just crash, sometimes after an hour or so, sometimes after as little as five minutes. (I fear as I write this that I will have to start over). More recently I've come to associate the crashes with movement of the computer; perhaps the battery (which is pretty much dead after so much use) is affecting the performance, I don't know.
    The next problem, which coincided with the crashes, was my clock being reset. I assumed this was directly associated with the spontaneous shutdown of the computer, yet though the crashes continued, the clock was not always reset (just about a third of the time). This was a pretty frustrating inconvenience given the frequency of the crashes at the beginning.
    The major problem that prompted me to take action was the lose of sound. One day, about a month ago now, my sound suddenly stopped working. At first I thought it was a hardware problem, but then I noticed the sound was still working with some things and just not others. For example, the sound increase/decrease indicator (the 'pop' sound when turning up or down the sound) stopped working, yet the startup sound still worked. I've found that Realplayer, MPlayer X 2, and Windows Media Player work fine but iTunes, VLC, and Quicktime don't. Most of the applications simply don't make sound but when I try to video in VLC I get the following error: "auhal: we cannot find our HAL component" or "auhal: audio-device var does not exist. device probe failed."
    Other minor errors I have come across include inability to detect the Airport card (remedied upon restarting the computer) and occasional seizing up of the keyboard (the letter keys, exclusively, were unresponsive for sometime before working again suddenly without need of restart).
    I've run diagnostic tools such as Disk Utility and the 'fsck' command in single-user mode, but nothing has been detected. It consistently comes up saying that everything is alright.
    I have backed-up all important files and programs (with the exception of my Firefox bookmarks, do you know how I can save those?) and am prepared to do whatever it takes to bring my computer back to working order. I need my computer for schoolwork and assignments so if I can fix it myself in anyway... I would prefer to avoid lengthly repairs if possible.
    Please let me know what my options are, and/or possible things I can do to repair these problems. This whole affair is, unsurprisingly, driving me crazy.
    One last thing, upon launching Microsoft Word, I get the following pop-up:
    Application Launch Failure
    The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "3<Microsoft Word><Microsoft Word><MicrosoftLSLibZ>"
    I do not know whether this is linked to my other problems or not. This too, is something that has recently come up and is significantly affecting my work (I have had to switch to writing my essays on TextEdit).
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Eric Oosenbrug

    Hi, Eric.
    1. You wrote: "...my screen would darken and center box would appear telling me, "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.""You are describing the following message:
    That indicates a kernel panic. Failure to address these when they first arise can result in bad problems becoming worse.
    See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.

  • Software upgrade, sync and performance problems.

    When upgrading to the new iPhone software 4.0. on my iPhone 3G all my pictures captured on my iPhone during the last year has disappeared.
    No backup is available in iTunes and the previous upgrades did NOT delete any content in the iPhone. Why did this change and how do I get the pictures back??
    The phone is also gradually getting slow - opening a text message takes 5-8 sec this is also not acceptable.
    I am a big Apple fan and has been very happy the last 6 years but the iPhone is currently not a product I would recommend to anyone. I also don't recommend SW upgrading since performance keeps going down with the introduction of fancy new features.
    Any help/suggestions is appreciated, thanks

    Not sure why the photos in the Camera Roll are not included with your iPhone's backup, which has nothing to do with installing the firmware update. This means something was wrong with the backup for your iPhone. I didn't lose any data on my 3G when installing 4.0, but I always import the photos in the Camera Roll especially before installing a firmware update.
    Although photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup or should be, so is a significant amount of other data. Photos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup and your iPhone alone for this data which can be lost or stolen. I've always imported photos from every digital camera I've used and the same with my iPhone's digital camera, which should be treated the same as any other digital camera for a number of reasons.
    Contacts are also included with your iPhone's backup or should be, but contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer and should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or with or without any cell phone. I've helped countless people here who manually enter all contacts on their cell phone and depend on their cell phone alone for this important data, which can be lost or stolen.
    Problems like this certainly did exist a few years back. Hardware can fail, data transfer can fail or get corrupted, and user error or not taking precaution when important data is involved. There are many more people here that don't maintain a backup for any important data on their computer's hard drive than do.
    Losing important data is painful, but painful lessons are usually learned the best. Things can and do go wrong. For future reference, import the photos in the Camera Roll ASAP, and especially before installing a major firmware update when the transfer of an existing backup is involved.

  • HP HDX 16-1010EA: Battery charging and performance problems

    Hi,
    Due to my warranty being finished by HP, this place will be the only hope for some problems that I'm having, so please help guys.
    1. I own a personal copy of Windows 7 Pro x64, installed it on a different partition from my Vista x64 that came with my HDX 16. After i updated the drivers, especially the chipset drivers, running on battery with  the balanced profile is like HELL, it's like loading windows 7 on an old 8086 IBM piece, it decreases the performance radically, now it's obvious that the problem is on a driver level but i've updated the chipset for 3 times so far and nothing has changed, i cannot address Intel for this since i have no idea what to tell them, so I'm hoping someone had some similar issues and has a solution for it.
    2. Lately, my battery started to charge very very slow and end the cycle of charge pretty fast, now since i cannot act on the balanced profile (explained above why.) i have to use the high performance one, i know this can reduce the life cycle dramatically, but 30-40 minutes are too LESS for even the high performance profile. AND, i am a very careful notebook owner and i treat it as a baby, i charge it fully, then i unplug it immediately, and don't charge it until it reaches 10%. I also give it an airspray treatment every 2 months so you can imagine, this notebook should run as normal as brand new.
    3. Now this is not a problem, though pure curiosity. I know the HDX 18 has two hard drive ports and it comes with two hard drives. After Intel upgraded from Matrix Storage app to the Rapid Storage Technology one, i have noticed a little extra interface (logical wise) on the output. Now to clear things out, HDX 16 has an interface for the hard drive, another one for the optical drive and an external interface (eSata), if you look clearly in the picture linked below, you'll see another port, a mysterious port:
    http://i46.tinypic.com/x5cw28.jpg
    Internal Empty Port, with a SATA Icon on it, is there any chance that the HDX 16 has a spare interface to connect another hard drive??

  • KT6 Delta stability and performance problems

    Hi all!
    My brother and I recently assembled my new computer. Since then I’ve been experiencing two problems that really bug me. I’m no expert at this stuff so if you guys need more info from me to try to help, just say so!
    Problem 1:
    The optimum setting for my processor is a CPU FSB Clock of 166 Mhz, but I’m only able to reach 160 Mhz. 161-163 will work but is extremely unstable. 164-166 will cause Windows to dump to a blue screen and reboot.
    I’ve seen that other people on this board have had similar problems. Note that I’ve set CPU Ratio to Auto and SDRAM Timing to SPD. What could be causing the problem? Could a simple BIOS update help (I’m running the one that was delivered with the motherboard)? How about clearing CMOS?
    Problem 2:
    Maybe due to the above problem, I’m also having stability problems when I do get into Windows. On some days it’s fine, other days it’s a mess.
    All of a sudden, while surfing the net or gaming, the computer will dump to a blue screen with the info that Windows has been shut down to prevent further damage to the system. One of two error messages will be displayed:
    “A thread tried to release a resource it did not own” (more common message) or “IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL” (less common).
    The computer will then reboot automatically. It’s really hard to specify when this happens: it could come at any time.
    The system I have is the following:
    KT6 Delta (MS-6590) motherboard
    AMD Athlon XP2500+ (1.833 Ghz)
    TwinMOS PC3200 DDR-DIMM (2x256Mb)
    Seagate Barracuda 80Gb S-ATA
    My old IDE 12 Gb harddrive
    PowerColor Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb
    TDK CD-RW (40x/10x/40x)
    Windows XP Professional with Sp1
    Have any of you had similar problems? I appreciate any help I can get!!!
    Regards,
    Stefan

    judd321: couldn't agree more! Thanx to all the people who post here and try to help out computer illiterate people like myself. Interesting to see that you've had the same problem.
    Thought I'd give you an update on my situation. I've done some surfing and gotten some mixed messages. Some say that the included PSU that came with my Chenbro Gaming Bomb (FSP Group 350W, delivers 28A at +3,3V, 30A at +5v and 16A at 12V) is plenty to power a system with my specs. Others, like the good people on this board, claim that 350W just won't cut it.
    I've just invested in an Aspire 520W (looks creepy and mod-ish). The dealer claimed that it really does deliver 520W at maximum performance and not just at peak. Before I install it I will try the following just to make sure it's the PSU that's causing me problems:
    1) Confirm that I still cannot boot up with CPU Clock at 166Mhz. If all is still the same, Windows won't even start. If I, by the grace of the good Lord, do get my system running at 166, I'll monitor unwanted reboots. If system is stable, fine. If no:
    2) I'll start by clearing CMOS, with battery and power cord out for at least 10 minutes. Then enter BIOS and run default settings EXCEPT CPU Clock which I'll set to 166Mhz. I'll try to reboot computer to see if this has done the trick. If yes, great. If no, I'll try the same thing but also set memory speed to 333. If that still doesn't work:  
    3) Clear CMOS with power cord disconnected. Unplug unneccesary components like CD-ROM, fan (not heatsink  , floppy drive, any USB devices and my old IDE hard drive. Reboot the computer and set CPU Clock at 166. If the system works, it was definitely the PSU since the absence of the disconnected components will have allocated more power to the connected components. If it doesn't work...does anybody want to buy a pretty decent system that doesn't allow for full processor power and experiences frequent, unwanted reboots?  
    I'll let you know how things work out!

  • Massive artifacts, redraw and performance problems: xorg 1.8 and Intel

    Hi there.
    Since the update to xorg-server 1.8 my intel GMA950 powered lap top is seriously acting up.
    *Performance has dropped significantly, Games or compiz run slower than before
    *Font drawing is sometimes garbled, sometimes not
    *Some windows or parts of windows (sometimes only the decorations) show artifacts
    *Drawing of fonts while typing is delayed by 1 or more characters sometimes
    It might be related to this bug or the problem described in this thread.
    Just look at this screenshot:
    I tired moving xorg.conf, I tried running compiz with --indirect-rendering, I tried all kinds of options in xorg.conf and all but it just remains broken like this. Has anyone got similar problems and a solution?
    Last edited by Shapeshifter (2010-06-28 15:07:21)

    I've been having the same issue but not to the extent of the OP.
    I read the man for intel
    man intel
    and added these three lines to my xorg.conf
    Option "XvPreferOverlay" "false"
    Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
    Option "Tiling" "false" #{edit: after doing some testing I found tiling made no differnece so I ended up commenting it out}
    The first option I added because the man says
    The  overlay
                  behaves  incorrectly  in  the  presence of compositing, but some
                  prefer it due to it syncing to vblank in  the  absence  of  com‐
                  positing
    I use compiz ergo i have compositing and I noticed my video tearing and skipping sometimes. Seems to work fine now (more testing will be required)
    The second option I added because the man says
    Note that when enabled, this option can
    adversely affect the framerate of applications that render
    frames at less than refresh rate.
    I have a hunch compiz probably isn't rendering at the refresh rate and also video would be rendered at less than my vert refresh of 60. So I disabled it.
    The third and last option I added was because the man says
    In most cases (especially for complex rendering),
    tiling dramatically improves performance.
    Well this may be a case where it doesn't and the posters above have noticed improvements.  {edit: after doing some testing I found this made no differnece so I ended up commenting it out}
    In the end moving windows around the screen do not tear anymore and my video is smoother. I enabled all three at once so it maybe that one or a combination of 2 or possibly all 3 resulted in change. I suspect  I will do some more testing but hopefully this is a place to start fro some of you having this issue.

  • Crashing and freezing problem

    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with Cloud Software, my applications/programs keep freezing, crashing, or becoming unresponsive.
    Please let me know if there is anything I could do to fix this.
    I updated everything on my iPhone and Mac, so that's not the problem.
    I also had an issue with computer going into deep sleep and not waking up unless I help the Power Button to shut it down and then the Power button again to start it back up.  I use to schedule it to go to sleep at midnight, but since nothing I did fixed the problem, I have change the settings to just shut down at midnight now.
    I like the whole idea of Cloud Based Software, but its not working properly and I have all sorts of issues now.
    PLEASE HELP, and thanks in advance.

    Maybe this will help with the sleep issue:
    Sleep - Wakeup
    Your profile shows 10.8.2.
    If reinstalling the updater doesn't fix things, hereb are some other troubleshooting recommendations:
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Random crash and gyroscope problems (Iphone iOS 6.1)

    Since the last iOS update (6.1). I have experienced a few problems with my Iphone 5.
    First of all the day that i updated the iOS, i started getting random crashes.The screen dimmed and 2 or 3 yellow vertical lines appeared, and short after the Iphone restarted itself. The crash was happening mostly when opening the camera or any app that used the camera, but it will also restart by just browsing through the home screen (less likely). Then i noticed that some apps that use the gyroscope where locking up (like panorama 360), and a message telling me to restart the iphone because the gyro was locked up (i checked pressing home twice and the gyro wasn't locked). After the restart i worked for about 15 minutes, and the gyro would stuck up again (and the crashes were getting worse). I decided to do a factory recovery, and it solve most of the problems, but i still get 1 or 2 crashes everyday (maybe more, because i dont know if the cellphone restarts when it is in my pocket) (and it now doesnt restart by using the camera), and the gyroscope sometimes works fine, and very few times it stucks up, so i close the app that uses it, lock the gyro, give the phone a few shakes, put the gyro back on and it works again.
    I'm trying to simulate the moments that the phone crashes or when the gyro stucks up, but i can't, it is just very random.
    PD: The phone worked perfectly with iOS 6.0.1, could be a software problem? hardware problem?
    PD2: i have used linpack to stress the phone but it doesnt crash or anything.

    The video is here

    The last two day i haven't experienced crashes but sometimes the gyro stucks.
    PD:sorry if the video is in spanish, but you can see the problems.

  • Timeouts and performance problems

    Hi,
    I've had Infinity for a couple of months and everything has been OK up to now. Yesterday though there was an orange light on the broadband. OK, just leave it for a bit might sort itself out. Today, back to work ( I work from home a lot) all lights blue away we go. However, the line speed is slower than usual, getting lots of timeouts from my browser and the VPN on the work laptop keeps dropping. All in all, not good. I've checked the logs on the hub and it seems there was an issue with the time server late Saturday night (time syncronization failed). Since then there have been numerous times when the PPOE has failed. The logs also show the following message a few times: (86420.780000) Server URL: https://pbthdm.bt.motive.com; Connecting as user: ACS username.
    I'm guessing that the problems today are related to messages in the logs but not sure how.
    Any suggestions what is going on? Who do I contact?

    I've re-run the speed test. Here they are. Download speedachieved during the test was - 19915 Kbps For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 12000-29036 Kbps . Additional Information: IP Profile for your line is -29036 Kbps Upload speed achieved during the test was - 3819 Kbps Additional Information: Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 10000 Kbps Although the speed has dropped markedly since Saturday, its the dropouts, the VPN unable to connect and the slow respnses when trying to connect to websites quickly (DNS issue?) that is bothering me. It's not just one website that the problem is with, its any.

    I kept getting this popup window...
    Warning: Unresponsive script
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script
    now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
    Script: chrome://xpirftoolbar/content/rfo_26.js:1
    There are two buttons to click either "Continue" or "Stop Script." It doesn't matter which button I choose for this to go away and I have to click several times. This usually occurs when I first open the Mozilla Firefox browser and throughout the day/night.
    There are other issues as well. I have WordPress blogs and only one of them has been experiencing some issues that I think is related to Mozilla.
    All of a sudden the following is missing from my WordPress blog at http://internettvdotcom.com in the admin section...
    Post Excerpts, Custom Fields, Screen Options & Help Links - they are all gone! This allows me to Create/Edit blog posts and pages but now I can't -- nothing is there but the post itself.
    But here's the kicker... All of these components appear when I use my Safari browser, they don't appear in my Mozilla Firefox browser (version 4.0). Also, when using the Mozilla browser to visit my site at InternetTvDotCom (only this blog and none of my other blogs) don't display certain widgets such as my Twitter and Sharebar widgets. Again Safari displays everything; there's no problem there.
    The crashes have been on-going for many months.
    I have other plugins and extensions. I will disable all of them again to see if this resolves the crashing issue but as you can see I'm having other issues also.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Multicam is coming.
    1. Sounds like your computer is underpowered.
    2. Work for me. Perhaps you aren't using the application correctly. What are you doing?
    3. You don't use the arrow key. Use the correct storyline. Select the storyline shelf and use comma or period. Or Shift-comma or Shift-period.
    4. See 1.
    5. You can use the transform function to resize the clips so they're both visible in the viewer. Resize and position one clip on the primary. Copy and paste effects to the other clips. Resize and position one clip on the secondary, copy and paste effects to the other clips in the storyline.
