Signal Freezes Only On EDGE, Until I Wake It Up
I live in a 3G area, but where I work I only get EDGE, so I know, with my phone, this is only an EDGE problem. Periodically through the day my phone will completely lose signal, where I otherwise always have full EDGE signal all day (at my desk at work), it will not start searching for a signal until I wake the phone up. So i.e., if I don't look at my phone from 1pm to 2pm, I won't get a text that was sent to me at 1:01pm until I wake the phone up and it finds signal again. Annoying.
Everything is up to date. Thanks in advance.

If you haven't already, try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
You can also restore(and update, if not updated) the iPhone and set it up as a new phone. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.
If the issue persists after restoring the iPhone, contact the cellular service provider and have them verify the SIM, service, and account are setup correctly.

2008 MacBook freezing only when battery is attached
My 2008 black MacBook freezes when the battery is attached. If it is removed and ran on only AC power that machine works just fine. I have two of the exact same MacBooks (black, 2008) and have tried swapping batteries. According to system profiler they both are just fine. It seems to happen even if the machine isnt moved. The freezing is a hard freeze, that is, i cannot move my mouse or type and everything is just still. I have heard that some kind of ribbon wire could be the problem and people have said that putting a piece of paper on/around it can temporarily solve the problem. I am unsure of how to do this and am not even totally sure if this is whats wrong. Does anyone know of anywhere i can find good instructions for this? Will apple fix the problem? for free?
I have tried reseting the PRAM and SMC, both do not work. I have also erased the hard drive and reinstalled a fresh copy of snow leopard (i lost installation disc 2 of my original OS X cds, so apple told me to buy a new copy...over the phone that is). At any rate, the installation worked just fine and nothing has been installed or modified since. I really would like to fix this ASAP because I intend to give it to my girlfriend for our anniversary in a few days.
Please let me know if you have any input
thanks
BrandonFirst, try this:
1. Shut down your MB
2. Have ONLY the battery in it.
3. Power your MB up & immediately take it into Safe Mode (after the startup chime, hold down one of the Shift keys until the login screens shows up. Let go of Shift. Log in. Let it finish booting. At the Desktop, do a few ordinary things on your MB (not all programs will function in SafeMode though).
4. Report back here whether your MB freezes on battery-only power while it's in Safe Mode.
Second, download & install the iStat Menu utility.
After installing it, make notes of the MB's internal temperatures, particularly the 3 battery sensor temperatures when A) It's powered by only the adapter and then after a cooling down period, B) It's powered by only the battery. The Battery Temperature reading in iStat should show right around 85-90 degrees.
Here's a screenshot of my own iStat, with the mouse arrow pointing at my MB's current battery temperature:
Also, need some answers to these Q's:
1. What model is your MB?
Apple.com: "How to identify MacBook models"
EveryMac.com: "Lookup Mac Specs By Serial Number, Order, Model & EMC Number, Model ID"
2. What version of OSX are you running in your MB?
3. Did the frequency of the battery-only freezup problem develp slowly over time, freezing only every once in a while until now your MB freezes quite often, or did the problem just show up overnite -- yesterday, fine; today, freezing with only the battery in it?
4. Did you do anything major as far as changes to your MB are concerned, or did anything happen to it? (dropped, keyboard spill, etc)
This is an important one:
5. If you were to start your Macbook up in the morning on battery only after it being shut down all night, and the MB is being used normally, how long in minutes does it take, on average, for the first freezeup to occur?
6. When it is powered by battery only, and absolutely nothing has been done on it for quite a while after it's been turned on, & it's just sitting there with the screen open & the screensaver is running or the display is in sleep, does it freeze up?
7. Compare the temperatures of the bottom of your MB between 15-20 minutes of Power Adapter only use, and 15-20 minutes of Battery only use, with a cooling down period in between the two tests. Is there a huge difference in the two temperatures, or not much difference?
We'll get it.......
But I & other helpers who read your post just need more info from you before anyone can go any further with this.

a project on iMovie 09 that Freezes(only the project) the viwer window blocked in gray ... .. After editing that took me a year I'm stuck .
All my finished projects that are in the Library infected with the same symptoms and it happens only after I went into the problematic project.
I tried to open a new project and everything works
...I also tried throwing Recent Files, in the past It solved the problem ,not this time ...
the problem is that this project will take me a long, long time to rebuild
imovie 09
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac10,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHzThis recently happened to me. I am a novice, but it seemed like that project got corrupted some how.
I deleted it.
Went to time machine and picked it up again when I knew it was working ok.
I lost a few hours of work, but not the entire project.
Once I had the project back from time machine, it worked fine (but like I said, I lost a little bit of work). -
front page opens works shortly freezes.
only yellow green buttons work. I click yellow to minimize normal top bar menu appears I choose new page, opens works normally.
The restart saved tabs does not work on that first page.Hi @prdstudio3 ,

PPro CC14 won't stop crashing and freezing only minutes after editing commences...
I seem to have tried everything to fix the issue but PPro CC14 won't stop crashing and freezing only minutes after editing commences. I am working on a Mac and have just updated to Mavericks as a final attempt to help solve the problem. I have tried calling Adobe but their phone support in Australia is shocking. I have resorted to posting here but haven't had any help yet. I really need to sort this issue out ASAP.
Its it possibly related to your graphics drivers? Seems similar to something I was experiencing that was resolved by updating my nvida cuda drivers (see thread link). I also started running activity monitor to keep track of the memory and processor use. That said after solving the problem by updating my drivers and switching to the CUDA acceleration, on occasion I get into ruts where it opens and freezes all the time. It does seem helpful to try and reduce project size if possible - I normal keep a track record of sequence revisions and such, but when possible it seems that clearing out as much as possible by deleting or project managing into a new project can help things run better.

Hi, I updated my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1 to 5.1.1 and now it won't connect to 3g, it only gets EDGE, does anyone have the same issue? Anyone knows how to fix it? Thanks

Macbook pro early 2008 freezing only in OSX
Hi everyone,
My macbook pro early 2008 (last model before the unibodies), 2.4 Ghz, 4Gb, 8600GT freezes only in OSX.
I'm typing this message right now on the same computer, but on windows 7, bootcamp.
Whenever I boot up OSX the system freezes every few seconds for a minute, only to resume work a few seconds before freezing again.
I know it isn´t a harware fault, since I can still boot up in windows 7 and use the snow leopard CD, which brings me to the next point.
I´ve allready used the disk verifty (which pointed out errors) and the disk repair (which was succesful).
I´ve also verified permissions and repaired them successfully.
What I´ve also done is turn off the sudden motion sensor.
The last thing I´ve tried is running the software update, making sure the system is up to date.
The battery is a few months old (new one) and the power cable works as well.
All of which did not work. I really don´t want to do a complete disk wipe since the backing up is horrendous.
I´ve read a lot on the subject, but since I don´t use an external monitor or have the unibody one the supposed solutions do not apply to me.
Thanks for you help!Thonz wrote:

Please help me out!
You have already tried the "standard" troubleshooting solutions. Most times an issue cannot be diagnosed unless the computer is physically examined by a repair tech.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left? Not enough space can cause the issues you are having as well as a failing hard drive -
Common symptoms of a dying hard drive are the following:
Hard drive is making a clicking, whirring, grinding, ping pong ball noise or any other type of unusual noises.
Hard drive is not spinning.
Computer is not recognizing the hard drive.
Sluggish loading of applications.
System freezes and hangs.
If you have Apple Care, give them a call. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP for a proper diagnoses. -

Back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in the backup file. If it continues, take it to an Apple store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

[radeon] Xorg 100% CPU, freezes, only way to resume is to reboot
Hello, I have an ATI Radeon 9250 with the bleeding edge Arch. Occasionally, my graphics will randomly stop working, and the only thing that works is the mouse (although slowly)
Rarely, the graphics cut out completely and the screen turns off, or I get an "Input Signal Out of Range" message from my monitor.
The kernel doesn't crash however, I can SSH in (very slowly) and then killall -9 Xorg (but it makes no difference on the screen).
If I run 'top' I see Xorg uses nearly 100% of CPU until it is killed by "KILL" signal. Even then, the process doesn't disappear, it just kills the processor usage.
I will see if I can get an Xorg log and 'dmesg' from one of these crashes.

I really hope someone can get to the bottom of this, it has been annoying me for quite some time. In fact, I think since the release of Xorg 7.0 if I remember.
Its gotten worse, which is why I'm posting.I just set up the radeon driver for my HD 4200 graphics. I just installed Arch a couple of days ago so I am hopelessly noob.
Anyway, after a ton of messing around I got one screen working with KMS off, a minimal xorg.conf and then changed to 2 screens with xrandr. I don't have 3d working yet, which is not a big deal for my uses. But I figure I get something working and then start adding features. Oh yeah, I'm using Xorg 1.7.1
my xorg:
