9.01 on Mac 10.6 hangs on trying to restore session or start a new session

9.01 on Mac 10.6 hangs on trying to restore session or start a new session
Hangs on Firefox startup
Firefox says We're embarrassed and just hangs needing to be force quit--

I've found the issue on Mac. Apparently if the server sends back nothing, "Content-Length: 0", NetLingo hangs... not very robust. This isn't a problem on Windows, but the hack is to always send at least one byte payload.

  • I just replaced the hard drive for my Mac Pro, and I am trying to restore what is on my Time Capsule, but it wont connect, and only is giving me the pinwheel of death. What do i do?

    You will need to boot from some alternate boot device to accomplish this, if you did not initialize the drive before installing it.
    If you have another Mac, you may be able to use FireWire target disk mode.
    If your MacBook has a DVD reader and you have a Mac OS X Installer/Utilities DVD, such as the one that shipped with it, you can boot from that DVD, answer only the "what Language" question, and wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Then examine the Utilities menu or the Installer menu and Find Disk Utility.

  • ITunes hangs when trying to restore

    I've got a 30GB video iPod that is formatted for Windows and half of the tracks on my iPod simply don't show up in the iPod interface. So I went to restore it on my Mac (10.4.10 PPC) using iTunes 7.4.2(4) and when I click restore it unpacks the firmware and then hangs. I get the spinning rainbow ball, a pegged CPU, and nothing else happening. Leaving it for days has not changed its state. If I try to select all of the tracks on my iPod and delete them, the same thing occurs -- pegged CPU, spinning rainbow ball, and nothing happening on disk. Resets of the iPod have not helped. How can I restore my iPod or at least get it so I can manage my library again?

    Thanks for the pointer to the KB article. Error 1 is missing from the list provided by iTunes (more information), but I was afraid it means hardware. Will try on another computer, but I'm afraid the phone is sick.
    Thanks,
    Manfred

  • Trying to restore certain directories to a new Mac

    I just received a new MacBook Pro.  I have a time machine backup that I want to restore from on a time capsule.  For various reasons, I dont' want to restore everything, I simply want to restore certain files, folders, etc.  I've tried using 'Browse other backup disks' option and it shows the time capsule and it shows the backup and I can select it but when it goes into the backups, it only shows whats on my new computer.  It never loads the old backup so I can't select any files or folder to restore.  Any ideas on what could be happening here?  By the way, it is Mavericks on the new MBP and the old MBP.
    Oh and I apologize if this isn't the correct place to post this but I couldn't find a forum for time machine specifically.

    nevermind- contacted chat support and they walked me thru the cleaner tool, and a reinstall. very helpful

  • Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save PDF files

    Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save some PDF files, after opening or after commenting.  Applies for any of the Save options.  "Watch" then "spinning beach ball" appear and application is indicated as "not responding."  Mac OS Preview has no problem with the same files.  Files can be displayed with Acrobat, just not saved.  I would prefer to use Acrobat's commenting tools to mark up the document.

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community only started to use this PC a few weeks ago.
    My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all.  I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. Tx

    In order to resolve the issue if it occurs again, more info would be helpful as to what occurred prior to the "hang." One potential fix would be to try a Safe Boot:
    After the Mac is completely shut down, push the power button and immediately after the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    There should be a message that says "SafeBoot." After the Mac is completely booted, try restarting and see if the issue is gone.

  • Solved: Mac appears to hang when "Enter Time Machine..."

    I run TM and keep my sparse bundle on a Synology Diskstation NAS.  Since the begining in March 2011, my Mac has always appeared to hang after trying to "Enter Time Machine...."  I am now running Lion 10.7.2 and DSM 3.2-1944 and seeing the same issue.  It turns out that this appears to be a bug in the fancy TM graphics interface.
    TM uses a cascaded Finder window to allow you to brouse your backup history.  If you run multiple "Spaces" and the existing(new) target Finder window does not reside(popup) on your current Space, you never get to see the cascaded display.  Yet, if I ensure that there is only one Finder window open and it is displayed on my current desk top, then the fancy cascaded TM interface displays just fine.
    Note, if you do happen to "Enter Time Machine..." on a secondary Space, just hit ESC.  TM will exit and the current Space will pop over to the target Finder window.  If you "Enter Time Machine..." a second time, it will work fine as the target Finder is now on the current Space.  Looks like someone failed to issue "set current Space" before disabling the Spaces manager...
    UPDATE:
    Looks like I am rediscovering known bugs, #3: http://pondini.org/TM/E4.html but above is an alternate workaround to turning off "Spaces".

    If you're really at 10.5.8, do you have the 10.5 Install disk to boot from & Install that... so we can get further?

  • Mac pro still hangs on the blue screen on start up.

    Hi.
    my mac pro still hangs for ages on the blue screen before the login page where i input my password appears.
    i've tried starting up in command-V and that didn't work.
    i thought snow leopard was meant to improve, it has just slowed my start up down greatly!
    could someone please advise on how to fix this?
    thanks
    Dan.

    Hi boom,
    Have you tried downloading and re-applying the latest Combo update?
    If not, go to the apple download page, find the Combo update (couple of hundred MB) and install it.
    This has fixed various issues in the past for numerous users... it might do the trick for you.
    After it's installed and rebooted, repair permissions and reboot again.
    Also check to see (using software update) if there are no firmware updates available for you.
    And, make sure the OS drive's root is clean, just the basic Applications, Library, System and Users folders, no other mess. If there are 'Previous System' folders from earlier Archive & Install situations you might want to remove those.
    Finally, if you upgraded from a PowerPC to Intel using the Migration Assistant the symptoms you are describing are very common, the migration assistant well... it ***** :/

  • Mac OSX Installer Hangs During Installation

    After clicking get spinny beachball cursor.
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    The installer may actually not be hunging, in my installation on Win XP, I have seen it "pause" at this point for 5 min or more before continuing with the installation to a successful completion, I did not try to do anything to assist it. Try giving it more time and see what happens.

  • My Mac Pro is hanging after installing Mountain Lion

    My Mac Pro is hanging and it started not long after I installed Mountain Lion. It seems to be related to Contacts in that it is constantly trying to sync with iCloud. It becomes unresponsive and when I force quit, other apps start going down. Eventually Mail hangs and I have to hit the power button and force a restart of the Mac Pro. It also brings down my DSL connection which runs through an Airport Extreme. Has anybody had similar experiences? Contrary to what it might say in my profile, I'm running a 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Mac Pro and 10.8.2.

    Welcome. If you search for "Mountain Lion freeze" you will see you are NOT alone. But as far as I know there is no solution.

    Why is my Mac Book Pro hanging? I just went the genius bar and got 3 software updates.

    Things to try,
    other forums for using snow leopard and macbook pro; preventative maintenance in the future; disk repair (sometimes you may need stronger 3rd party); Safe Boot for mild issues.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when trying to access SFTP site (Mac)

    Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when trying to access an SFTP site - or at least I think that SFTP could be the reason.
    Beachball forever....
    It works fine when trying to access other sites.
    The one addity is that when I go into "Manage Sites" and test it, it connects fine.
    I am running OSX 10.8.2.  I upgraded from 10.7 to see if this problem would go away.
    Message was edited by: deeed (typo)

    When CS6 first released, some people experienced problems with the FTP feature.  A critical update was released which addressed these issues. Did you install it?

  • ITunes 7 hangs while trying to update Library

    I installed 1Tunes 7 onto my Jukebox Mac - contains 16,450+ tracks, 90Gb. iiTunes hangs when trying to update the library. I keep all my actual music files on an external LaCie D2 160Gb drive. Even if I move the drive to a different Mac, and attempt to update the Library there, it also hangs.
    Has anybody got a suggestion?

    Sorry to not be of any direct help, but I'm having the same problem and my situation is almost identical. iTunes 7 in general has been buggy for me and I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that I have 100GB of music which is located on an external drive (not an uncommon set-up). I've tried the reinstall from the download of 7.02 as well as software update and have tried repairing permissions vs. not. I've also trashed the itunes plist files in my usr library.
    And now I'm just reflecting on how practiaclly everytime I update something from apple I have to spend days trying to figure out how to fix it. I would consider myself a pro user as well which makes me wonder what the millions of novice mac users do to keep their systems running... oh yea, I almost forgot, for $350 for 2 years beyond the year you get for free (175/yr) apple's novice apple 'care' customer service staff will attempt to help you fix their faulty, seemingly untested (in a real world working situation) upgrades (or they'll just deny the fact that the problem exists and make any attempt to blame it on the fact that you probably just forgot to plug your machine in). Makes me wonder if the faulty upgrades and applecare have anything directly in common. Is Steve Jobs republican?
    Sorry, years of dealing with apple products, just had to vent...

  • Aperture 3.5.1 on OS X 10.9.2 hangs when trying to update the backup

    Aperture 3.5.1 on OS X 10.9.2 hangs when trying to update the backup. I get the rotating beach ball cursor for hours but not get the confirmation dialog known from 3.4.2 aksing whether I really want to back up.
    On old Mac Mini with OS X 10.6.8 and Aperture 3.4.2 there was no such issue.

    Creating a new vault and populating it always works but then turning around and updating that vault hangs? The drive is formatted OS X Extended, correct?
    That is strange. Before abandoning vaults, they should and do work in 3.5.1, I'd try this
    Run a library repair on the library. I always do this now as it seems to cut down and hangs when updating a vault.
    Before starting the vault update open the Aperture activity window Aperture->Window->Show Activity.
    Now do the update.  I can't give you anything specific to look for, just try to get an idea of where the hang is happening (if it happens after the repair).
    As for rsync, it should work OK but keep in mind as a lot of the data now in 3.5 is in database files any change to Aperture will result in reync seeing a lot of files has having been changed so I'm not sure now much of a savings that will be over just copying the library. To be honest I've never tried rsync on an Aperture library so this may not be an issue but something to keep in mind. BTW do you have much rsync experience? It can be a bit of a bear to setup if you're not familiar with it.
    Another option is to look at one of the cloning programs Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They have the ability to make clones and then update only the changes since the last clone operation. In reality, I believe one or both actually use rsyn as the backend but give you a much nicer way to set it up and schedule it.
