Application locks up after copying cd

After copying a cd to my hard drive and switching to another CD, the application locks up consistently. I cannot figure out why. Anyone have this issue? I am using XP Pro along with PC-cillin security.

I've been able to copy multiple CDs in the past. Just recently itunes locks up after copying one CD to the itunes library. Do you have a solution?

System lock-ups after upgrading to Tiger

This topic was previously posted in 'Installation & Setup'.
After 3 days (and 18 views) I got no replies.
Maybe that forum was not appropriate, so I decided to try it in this forum.
About 4 months ago I exchanged my 80 GB Hd in favor of an 200 GB Maxtor 6L200P0. One day later I upgraded OS X 10.3.9 to Tiger (retail DVD).
At that time I experienced a frequent (several times a day) lock-up of my system.
No messages, nothing, not even after powering down and restarting.
After some time I figured out that the lock-ups occurred on Internet access. Clicking on a link in Safari, posting messages on Discussions. Even Mail locked the system a few times. Also Corripio (artwork and lyrics finder for iTunes) caused the system to lock.
After that, I decided to perform an Archive & Install (first time after almost 4 years of using this Mac). Except from having to re-install a number of 3rd party apps. the system seemed to perform well. No lock-ups were experienced for a few weeks.
Problem solved, I thought.
Although far less frequent than before, I do experience those annoying lock-ups a few times a week.
Here are my questions:
What could be the cause of the lock-up?
Is is advisable to perform a Clean Install? What advantage do I have of, it opposite to performing an A&I. I'm reluctant to perform a clean install at the moment, because I haven't found a few serials of commercial and shareware applications yet ( I know, I should have written them down :-/ )
Any hints/tips to track down the exact cause?
TIA
M
P.S. ( I do have a bootable complete backup of my HD on an Maxtor Onetouch II )

Hi, M.
1. You wrote: "What could be the cause of the lock-up?"The number of potential causes range from disk corruption or bad applications to serious hardware problems, such as a defective logic board.
2. You wrote: "Any hints/tips to track down the exact cause?"I suggest treating the "lock up" problem — better described as a "freezes and hangs" problem — similar to a kernel panic as the basic troubleshooting and hardware testing steps are virtually the same. See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ.
It provides a comprehensive roadmap which you should follow from beginning to end, in the order specified in the FAQ.
2. You wrote: "Is is advisable to perform a Clean Install? What advantage do I have of, it opposite to performing an A&I."The term "Clean Install" does not apply in Mac OS X. That is obsolete Mac OS 9 terminology. The closest Mac OS X equivalent to a "Clean Install" is an Archive and Install with the Preserve User and Network Settings option, which it sounds like you've already tried once previously, but you may want to try again as part of the troubleshooting process I outlined above. See my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
The other options are:
• Archive and Install without the Preserve User and Network Settings option: This reinstalls the OS and wipes out both your accounts and your network configuration, but preserves the previous System folder.
• Erase and Install: Erases the hard drive, i.e. Macintosh HD, and reinstalls the OS from scratch, preserving nothing: your accounts, network settings, and everything else on the drive are deleted.
Of those two, and since you have a bootable backup, the second (Erase and Install) would be the second-to-last thing you would try, the last being taking the machine in for service.
Good luck!

I have an ipod touch 2 and rebuilt my laptop. Reinstalled ITUNES and can't find my applications on ITunes after login. I tried to activate Itunes again but it didn't. How can I get my applications to display on ITUNEs?

It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty. You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod. If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

Error after copying and modifying a page in APEX

I have copied (duplicated) and modified a "Form on a Table with Report" in my application.
The new form does the same as the old one, but it uses a different database table. The original form was made with the help of APEX.
After I corrected the table and field names in the new form, I experienced the following error:
The row edit icons on the new form refer to the records of the OLD table. If I click on them, the record edit screen appears with the content of the row in the old table. This causes an other error too, because the record number in the new table doesn't always point to an existing record in the old one. In this case I get an error: ORA-01403: no data found / Error Unable to fetch row.
I don't know where to correct this hyperlink, I guess this is an automated link from the XE !?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Please post Application Express related issues on the dedicated forum at Oracle Application Express (APEX)
Links' attributes are set at form creation time only so after copying they refer to the same objects the base page does.

DVD Pro 3 locks up after completing the format phase can anyone help?

I am very experienced with FCP & DVDSP3. However, starting this week my entire computer locks up after I start to burn a dvd in dvdsp3? I have tried everything I can think of please help. I have burned several dvd's using same footage. I thought maybe the disk were dirty (fingerprints etc.) I have tried several dvd's but nothing works. Help please!!

Yes the project was built by me. I have burned several copies from the same file. After about the 10 copy it started to freeze. My disk drive would keep running but it sounded as if it was stuck. The program stopped responding at this point. I'm using Apple DVDRW. I also tried using Maxwell (poor decision). Do you think it's the program or the dvd burner (hardware). thanks for the help.

I am unable to get Pages to launch after copying it to my laptop

I am unable to get Pages to launch after copying it to my laptop. Any suggestions?

Don't copy the application, you're likely to miss a number of essential files. If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, launch the Mac App Store on the laptop & click "purchases" to install it. If you purchased retail disk or license, you need to use the original installer & have a family pack license.

Lock fields after send a PDF file

Hello all,
I have done an application that consists in fill in many fields using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 program.
After many fields are filled, I click on a Regular button that sends an e-mail.
When I receive the e-mail, I download the attached pdf file to a determined folder.
The problem is that when I open this generated PDF I am able to edit the fields.
Is there any way to lock fields after clicking the Send button?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Roberto

After your code for emailing the form, place additional line of script for making the form as editable..
Language: Java Script/ FormCalc
<parentSubform>.access = "readOnly";
parentSubform is the root subform node of your form..
Thanks

I just went to the new Lion OS from Leopard OS, and when I'm on the internet, it locks up after about 5 or 10 minutes. WhY?

I just went to the new Lion OS from Leopard OS, and when I'm on the internet, it locks up after about 5 or 10 minutes. WhY?

From Leopard or Snow Leopard? If the former then I suggest you erase the drive and reinstall Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Be sure to run Software Update for any additional updates.

HT4913 iTunes locks up after I add the computer to Match

iTunes locks up after I add the computer to Match. I have to End the Process from the Task Manager. When I reopen, it says Match encountered an error and I should Sign out and sign back in again. I have done this numerous times and no luck. I have run a repair from the Programs screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. This is a new computer runing Windows 7.

I had the EXACT same problem. My 60GB video iPOD was stolen, so I went and bought a new 80GB. I plugged it in, and BAM, iTunes is frozen!
I fixed it. I'm not going to say that this is the best way to do it, but it worked, so, use this solution at your own risk, I hope it helps some people out.
1. I did a file search of my entire computer for "itunes" and it came up with 292 results! Everytime I had downloaded it, copied it, transferred info from 1 computer to another, another copy was made. I don't know for sure, but I believe there was a conflict between 1 or more copies of iTunes, and it didn't know which program file to use, so it just locked up.
2. I copied all of the music that was in my "iTunes music folder" in My Music for a back up and named it something that didn't contain "iTunes", since anything you downloaded from the iTunes store can only be downloaded once.
3. I followed the file path for EVERY file that had anything to do with iTunes, and manually put it in the recycle bin- I mean program files, short cuts, everything. The exception is (& I stress this) the copy of your iTunes folder you just made has your podcasts, etc which will show up in your search. Make sure you recognize this and DO NOT delete those files. I also deleted anything that had to do with the previous iPOD. There are a few of them. That resolved any conflict I had with the previous one.
4. I then emptied the recycle bin & restarted the computer.
5. Go to Apple.com and download the new iTunes.
When I opened it up, it showed NO music, as it should. I went to "Import folder", found the folder that I copied from the iTunes music folder and clicked ok. 3 1/2 hrs later, I was transferring 8889 songs, videos, podcasts & movies to my new iPOD.
Think about each step as you do it, so you don't jack it up but it worked for me. Hope it does for you too.

Computer locks up after an hour of being idle?

computer locks up after an hour of being idle

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Intermittent lock up after boot

My T60 will occasionally lock up after XP boots. No mouse or kbd. I have to press the power button to shut it down and after a reboot, it works fine. IF I play with the mouse cursor as soon as it appears on the screen at boot up, it never locks up. I've tried updating the BIOS, no help. If I start the unit and let it boot up without pressing any keys or moving the mouse cursor, it will lock up.

Welcome to the forum!
How's your battery? I had a couple of machines that use to lock up like that due to defective batteries...
Cheers,
George

I recently purchased FaceTime from the Application Store. After approx. ±10 meg, the application resets and starts downloading again. I have tried to download it at different times of the day but with the same results. I have been in contact with Apple support and have tried different options with the same result. I cannot download a new Version because in my Purchased List the applicaiton (FaceTime) is still there, and because I have halted it it tells me to resume. I can’t, because the same thing is going to happen. I have tried all the various troubleshooting tips supplied by my ISP and also Apple Support with no luck. I am currently working on a IMac OS 10.6.7. Has anybody got any ideas? Any suggestion would help. Thanks

As I said, I tried everything what the manual says, but hard luck. I have taken an appointment for today, lets see what happens.
Also there is no activity on unit when I use the remote. The unit is stuck on the first page itself where we have to choose the language. The unit seems to be fine to me but the real problem is remote does'nt have activity. The IR is not responding while pressing any of the button.
Good luck with your appointment.
Not much consolation but even new products can have issues and might need a trip to a store to return/replace.
The reason i asked about the LED on the AppleTV is that occasionally it thinks it's paired with a specific remote and ignores others - the unpair keypress I described is quick and free.

The Finder is not refreshing the icon thumbnail after copying

The Finder is not refreshing the icon thumbnail after copying.
I tried copying a couple of foders from the internal HD to a USB drive and the resulting icons kept an empty progress...
WHY????

Hello,
It looks like possibly a Permissions problem... the X above the folder.
In Finder do a Get Info on that drive, or the folders on that drive that you're trying to copy to.
Úgy néz ki, mint esetleg egy Engedélyek probléma ... X felett a mappát.
A kereső nem egy Get Info a meghajtón, vagy a mappákat a meghajtón, hogy akarsz másolni.

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.
