27" iMac freezes, but mouse moves. 10.6.8. For 2 days, same error with volume info. Repaired disk from install disk twice.

Here's more info. Bought the iMac in Nov. 2009. It's been one with lots of problems, including a new mother board. Haven't had any big troubles lately until now. The exact error is:
Invalid volume file count
(It should be 888333 instead of 888334)
Invalid volume directory count
(Should be 221900 instead of 221899)
These were the only error messages. I did use Disk Utility to repair the disk, twice in two days.
2.66 GHz Intel Core i%
12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
(219.55 GB available)
I'm not sure what else would be helpful to know.
Can someone tell me what's up, please?
Thanks! Jane

It would appear Disk Utility cannot repair the problem. This is not a big problem, but fixing it will require you to purchase and use Disk Warrior. Alternatively, you can backup your files, erase the drive, reinstall Snow Leopard, then restore your files.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

TS4135 Imac freezes but mouse still work.

My Imac freezes everytime I try to load an app. Rather its a webpage on safari, playing videos on sites, iTunes, photobooth etc. I can't even load the applications folder without it freezing on me. The dock & keyboard shortcuts are frozen too. The only thing that moves is the mouse cursor, but its no good if I can't open or close anything. I wiped out my Imac to factory settings, thinking it would clear ram/men space and that didn't help. Sigh. I need help. What can I do? What should I do? Is this a firmware or system update problem? Help me please!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

IMac freezes but mouse works

my late 2009 iMac has now frozen twice over two days since upgrading to Yosemite. the mouse moves around on the screen, and all appears normal, but everything is frozen and I can't click on anything. So far a power button shutdown seems to work and everything goes back to normal. I am wondering if this is a Bluetooth issue? Or not.

I hate to say this, but the pixel anomalies indicate a faulty V RAM chip, which is soldered to the logic board
You may have more that one problem, the pixels being one, and the hard drive and/or the PSU being another.
At this point, you probably need to take it in and have it looked at, then you will have to decide whether it's worth repairing, or whether you will just get a new one.
In any case, please let me know what happens,

IMac freezes but mouse still moveable

Radom Freeze but mouse moves, Netinfo problem?

My problem is that randomly my computer will completely freeze with the exception of mouse movements. I was having this problem before, and tried a fresh install, fresh install with no installed programs, new RAM, old RAM, and now with a newly replaced logic board. The freeze happened again today and the clock stopped at 10:52am and got it back by putting to sleep (which took awhile) and then awakening. Here are the system.log entried around the time the problem occured.

Is there anyway I can disable the netinfo lookup or is this a problem with the network/airport card. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

At long last, I have finally found out what it was.
After Apple had replaced the logic board, processor, and graphics card that Netinfo errors were still continuing. Because I had not reloaded the OS since the hardware had been replaced I figured I would give that another shot.
I got the OS installed and updated, Mac OS X 10.4.9, and ran that for just a little while. No problems at all. A few days later I started to layer on my applications, MS Office, Firefox, Internet Explorer (We still need to test web sites here with IE for Mac because some users still use IE.) After a few days, still no problems. I then started to layer on my utilities, Toast, Growl, McAfee VirusScan.
Everything still worked just fine...for a day. When I came in the next day my computer had locked up again. So I removed the utilities. Everything started working fine at that point. I put the utilities on one at a time and ran each one for several days. I finally got to VirusScan and the error's came back. I removed VirusScan and the errors went away.
The version of McAfee VirusScan I was running is 8.5. Currently I am not running any VirusScan software at the moment. Our network team here is talking to McAfee in regards to this problem. Hopefully a solution will present itself.

I'll be watching a movie in iTunes, and the movie will freeze, but the movie timer will keep going. Any idea how to fix?

I'll be watching a movie in iTunes for Mac, and the movie itself will freeze, but the movie timer will keep going but the movie won't continue playing. I've tried restarting my Mac and restarting iTunes, with no luck.

Hi Sniper Trago,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is a payback issue with one or more movies in iTunes on your Mac. If the movies weren't purchased from the iTunes Store, do you see the same issue with content downloaded from the iTunes Store? The article below provides some suggestions that will rule out conflicts caused by plug-ins that you might be using with iTunes.

Installed Window 7 on DV6700 but mouse movement not smooth as before

Installed Window 7 on HP DV6700 but mouse movement not as smooth as before. When you move your finger on the touch pad but the pointer does not move along as smooth as it should. Is it because of driver problem? if yes then is there a more suitable driver to use and where can I download it?
When I used it with Window Vista ,there was no problem. Thanks.
One more things, there is no longer the beep sound when you press the sound button to increase or decrease the sound. The buttons on top of the keyboard. Do I need to download another driver?

Synaptics touchpad here
For the click sound, you need either HP Quick Touch from your Vista drivers page or 3RVX here .

I would recommend deleting the affected movie from your iPad, and redownloading the movie.

Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.

When I try to start my macbook it gives an error of Please restart your computer, but when i do this i get the same error.

Try reinstalling OS X. What version did you have installed? If it's Snow Leopard do this:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

10.3.9: G3 iMac won't run 'Repair Permissions' from Panther Disk!

I upgraded the memory to 1024 mb RAM and reinstalled Panther yesterday after leaving it on the shelf for a couple of years due to numerous problems running it on Kihei and Pismo (both with 256 mb RAM). The loading process went well; I ran the following utilities after loading all of the updates:
TechTool 4.0.1
Disk First Aid from Panther disk
Repair Permissions from Panther Disk
Reset NVRAM, PRAM and OF
TechTool showed no problems and Disk First Aid said a repair was made. The first time I attempted to repair 'permissions' the process seemed to be about half way complete when it stopped and displayed the following error:
'Disk Management Tool' has lost contact with Disk Utility, close function and restart Disk Utility' or something to this effect.
Every attempt afterwards results in the same error message coming up almost immediately. iMac seems to be running properly at the moment; is it about to crash again like it did so many times in the past before I reverted to Jaguar? Any insight or advice will be welcome. I will post a copy of this on the 10.3 Panther board too.

Road Hazard: Try the instructions in this article. It is not possible to use the Panther installation disks to repair the permissions on a system which is experiencing this issue.
scapesuiter: A Kihei is one of the models which make up the first slot-loading iMac machines. These came out in October 1999 and were discontinued in July 2000.

Brand new iMac 21", freeze. Mouse movies, but does nothing

We just opened a brand new iMac 21" literally yesterday (purchased within the last three weeks). It was on for about an hour with no problems whatsoever. Then, while transferring photos to iPhoto, the system interface randomly froze. You can move the mouse around the screen, but it does nothing. You can't click anything. Hard resets/shutdowns result in the system rebooting back to the desktop like normal, but the mouse stays in this semi-frozen state. You can movie the pointer, but you can't actually interact with anything to fix the problem. Nothing brings it out of this state. We're not terribly experienced with Macs (new owner) and also snowed in to boot.
Has anybody encountered problems like this before? How do I fix this freeze?
Message was edited by: ThirdMarioBro

My suggestion with a new Mac that is having those problems is to take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to fix it. Beside allowing them to solve the problem that will also give them the chance to document the problem with your Mac just in case it should happen again.

Screen Freezes but Mouse Still Moves

Hey I have an iMac with a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors and I am running OS 10.6.7 and my screen freezes (sometimes goes to a black screen or many lines repeated) but my mouse is still able to move, then I have to shut down manually with the power button to reboot. It happens mostly when I am gaming with games such as starcraft 2 but sometimes with Word or Safari.
I have cleared my cache, vacuumed my computer, reinstalled OS X, tried regulating the temperature with smcfan but nothing works. I also took it to futureshop on my warranty and they couldnt help me, nor could multiple Mac Phoneline assistants.
Any solutions?

I added some Crucial Ram to my late '07 iMac (Aluminum, 20", 2.4 ghz),
Apple did some warranty work on it for me, a year or so ago, but.
I jumped up the Ram from 2-4. It's only showing 3 Gb's now.
And, the fans were ALL running at Full Speed! Wow, vacuumed my desk!
Anyway, I came here, and was advised to do several things, but the one that worked,
was 'Resetting the System Managements Controller" SMC.
1 Shut down the computer.
2 Uplug the computer's power cord.
3 Wait fifteen seconds. (HMM, what couldja do?)
4 Attache computer's power cord.
5 Press the power button, to turn computer back on.
I heard a high pitched 'Chong', (Higher than the start up sound), then, the start up sound.
Now, I'm in my comfort zone again!
Dam, if that didn't work wonderfully?!!!
It did!
I hope that this may work for you!
Be well.
PS btw, I still can't get my 2nd stick of Ram to work.
I'm still working on that.
And, my third, Western Dig, 2 TB external HD!
What's with these third party suppliers?
They suck!
Apple has to bring some control back in!
I bought the WD @ a Mac Store, (Cherry Hill, NJ)
The Memory, through Amazon.
Grrrrrrrr!
Hope this works for you, let us know, OK?
Pete
