Screensaver does not release normally, have to restart

Since I updated to Mac OSX 10.4.10, when I go into screensaver mode, I cannot recover by typing a key unless I do it right away. After a minute or so, I have to restart the Mac. I never had that problem until I upgraded. Has anyone else seen this problem and found a solution?

Does the screensaver work, or does the Mac freeze? How long did you wait after the screensaver was activated?
Does that happen using ANY screensaver module? Could you try to put the mac to sleep (by closing the cover on the laptop or pressing mommentarily the power button on a desktop) and then try to wake it up to see what happens?

    Did the Firefox installation finish without problems?
    You can check:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not.  I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes.  I still have the same problem.  Suggestions?

    I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not.  I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes.  I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord.  Does anyone have further suggestions? 

    Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
    If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

  • EMac modem does not release phone line

    I have an original eMac. The modem is capabale of receiving and sending faxing. However, occasionally it does not "release" the phone line causing any incoming fax to get a busy signal and if you try to dial the phone number you also get a busy signal. Unplugging the phone line from the modem port resolves the issue as does restarting.
    What can be done to fix this issue besides getting a new modem.
    Thanks!

    I recall having similar problems with my home pre-broadband dial-up account under 10.1.5. That was blamed on the computer modem and the ISP modems implementing different versions of the same modem protocol (which certainly doesn't say mush for the 'standard' part of the v.92 protocol). That I thought was fixed in later versions of OS X, but you may still want to contact your ISP to ask them if they're aware of other Mac dial-up users with the same problem and if they can suggest any modem commands to add to your modem command strings. You can ask them to check on their end to see if they're receiving the line release command from your modem when you attempt to hang up.
    Since most Mac-related questions to ISP support seem to garner a response of "huh?", your other option would be to try dropping the modem protocol from v.92 to v.90 (and if necessary even lower) to see if those protocols are more compatible with your ISP's modem banks.

  • This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with

    Hi All,
    I have IDOC to XML file scenario.
    In SXMB_MONI, it showed the message processed successfully (checkered flag).
    I open the payload in the target, I'm able to see the XML format without error.
    then I checked in RWB the overall status is successful.
    But when I checked the detail (message content) I got the following message:
    "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it".
    So physical file created is like corrupted.
    If using XML marker to open the file it show warning "Invalid Unicode Sequence".
    The thing is when rerun the whole interface again, which is mean the same idoc send from the source, the file created successfully. Sometimes need to rerun twice or more than that to get the file.
    Anyone has idea on what is wrong here?
    Thanks,
    Victor.

    Hi Baskar,
    Thanks for your reply.
    It's PI 7.0.
    Overall status is successful but when I go to RWB to check the message content i got the error message above.
    Target system is only normal FTPS server.
    XML file is created as well but it's showing error when we open it.
    The weird thing is without fixing anything if we rerun the same interface with same set of data sometimes the error is gone by itself.
    Thanks,
    Victor.

  • Screensaver does not start after upgrading to 10.7

    Since upgrading to 10.7 my screensaver does not start either by hot corner or automatically. I can get it to test from the preference pane, any suggestions?

    Okay.... Sorry for calling the technology airplay vice AirPrint.   I have done all the standard power reset and wireless tips (i.e.delete the wireless network, re-add the wireless network, even monitored the RF frequency spectrum to make sure nobody is stomping on my wireless signal, solid 32Mbits over a Cisco 1811w).  I have over 28 years in networking experience.  So, I assume you all the basic stuff has been covered.  Before our Apple devices got upgraded to IOS7 (2 IPads and 2 iPhones), we had no problems printing to our Brother HL-5450DN series printer (updated to the latest firmware).  I strongly believe it has something to do with the AirPrint discovery process as shared in my last post.  My next step is to enable port mirroring and monitor the packet exchange using wireshark or tcpdump.  This will probably have to wait until the weekend.

  • Photoshop does not release memory after closing document.

    When I close a large document Photoshop does not release the memory. If I open another document the program is slow and not resposive. If I close out of Photoshop and restart it then load the other document it is quick and responsive again.

    A bit late to the party here but this issue is still live and I can't find anything else on the forum similar to it (apologies if there is).
    Photoshop does not seem to re-use memory it just keep allocating new right up to the limit before the prog crashes (same applies to Fireworks) so any batch/script processing of more than a handful of files is impossible.
    I am Photoshop via Creative Cloud (so I am always updated to your latest release), Windows 7 64k with 8Mb memory and am using Norton Intenet Security 20.3.1.22 which is updated daily.

  • JInternalFrame is closed, but does not release the memory

    Hi,
    I have problem with using of JInternalFrame.
    I create a new internal frame, and close it."setClosed(true);dispose();"
    The frame does not release the memory (after gc the allocated memory is the same)
    Before close I removed all listeners, and closed all reference to other object. (I think so :-) )
    Do You have any idees?
    regards
    G�bor

    Hi,
    I think u will have to release all the associated used objects. or you can also call the finalize() method in order to release the memory.

  • When using a proxy server at work, Deezer page does not load normally?

    When using a proxy server at work, Deezer page does not load normally, but when I go home and use connection without proxy, everything is fine.
    It loads, and some features on the website work, but the look is not the same. Over the proxy it shows just text on the left side of the screen and I can't choose some of the options.
    When I go home and use my home connection without proxy, there are no problems, everything is OK.
    Could you please solve this?

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • I have a Mac G4 (version=3.3)  How can I connect it to my BT Broadband.  It does not seem to have an AirPort card - do I need one and if so how do I get one?  Many thanks

    I bought a Power Mac G4 (version=3.3) second hand from my company.  It is running Mac OS 10.2.8 and Microsoft Office X.  I wish to connect it to my BT broadband hub.  However, it does not appear to have an AirPort card and even if it did I was told that the BT hub mainly works with microsoft rather than apple products.  Can anyone advise me how I can connect and what products I need to buy?
    Many thanks

    Not true. Those adaptors were intended for the iMac G3 (long outdated) and only the iMac G3. All G4 machines just take AP Cards the way they are.

    You should also look into upgrading it to OS X "Tiger" but make sure you get the original retail install CD. It will be black with a large "X". Grey discs are machine specific and will not work.
    Actually I HIGHLY recommend upgrading to OS X Leopard. Tiger is no longer supported by hardly anybody (Apple, Adobe, etc) and Leopard is still the minimum for most things nowadays. If you want more life out of this Mac, then I would highly recommend installing Leopard. And as mentioned above you NEED a Retail DVD. (The Leopard DVD has a little Purple in the Center of the DVD and a BLACK X in the center.
