Applications start to freeze VERY OFTEN after recent Yosemite updates?

I've been using Yosemite since open Beta and this only started to happen I think since the update before the official release update. I'm using a Macbook Pro Late 2013.
It gets worse with uptime and resets when I restart the system. I have not tried too many applications because I don't use that many recently but Safari ALWAYS freezes when it happens, so does Chrome. I would be browsing and then all the sudden it's frozen I had to force quit it. If the uptime hasn't been very long usually I can restart Safari and keep going. But after two days or more restarting Safari will just cause it to immediately freeze after it reloads all the webpages again. I would have to restart OS X to fix.

Hi Gongc, 
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand that you are having some Safari performance issues after updating the operating system. One of the first troubleshooting steps that I would suggest would be looking at third-prty add-ons. Please use the attached article for information on uninstalling these add-ons if you have them.
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Cheers,

  • My mind 2014 macbook pro keeps freezing and is very slow after the yosemite update

    HI my macbook 2014 model keeps freezing and it is very slow after i had updated it to yosemite

    Why don't you try these: ( might or might not help, but it's worth a try )
    See what you have loading on your login items.
    Open up activity momitor, under All Procesess, see what's using most of your CPU resources (%).
    Hightlight the one using the highest % on the CPU then click on quit process and see if that works.
    Once you're done with that, go to Disk Utility and do a verify disk.  After that, do a verify disk permission and repair if needed.
    See if that helps you.

  • Itunes7 freezes very often ... even no chance to quit it

    Hello everybody,
    I have a pretty large itunes library (150 GB) on a external (usb) harddrive. After upgrading to itunes7 the app freezes very often. With freezing I mean: The app doesn't react any more, I have a spinning ball as a cursor.
    In the dock I see "application doesn't respond" (in german ...). "Quit at once" in the dock doesn't help. Even more STRANGE: When I use "quit at once" from the apple menu, the process disappears in the list, but itunes is still displayed as running in the dock (black triangle below).
    Please help!
    Thank you!

    Hmm - I think that it's time for an appointment with an Apple tech! Do you have an Apple Store or an AASP nearby? You've most certainly a hardware problem - the GPU on the 13" model is an integrated GPU so if you've a GPU problem, the entire logic board will need to be replaced, which can be quite expensive. Let's hope it's a RAM issue which can be fixed relatively cheap.
    But go ahead and call the Apple Store and make an appointment to have your machine tested.
    Good luck,

  • Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

    Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
    My question is at the end.
    Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial  version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
    Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
    1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
    2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
    3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
    4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like  it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that  simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves  95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
    5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting,  etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a  post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able  to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the  coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand.  (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very  valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
    6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
    7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
    8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
    9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
    10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
    11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
    12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
    13. Bingo! That install works.
    14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
    15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security  patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file  adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that  mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
    16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
    17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
       before
         lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
       after
         lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
    (that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
    Save the file.
    18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
    Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is  no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS  update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
    And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the  version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version,  not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
    On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
    And finally my
    ** QUESTION **
    Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same  (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this,  but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older  version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use  the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the  directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my  limitied java skill set, to make this decision. 
    Thanks in advance!!
    Byron

    Hi Byron,
    Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
    So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
    Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
    Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
    Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
    #java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
    Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
    java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
    Note  there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to  point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program  Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
    Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
    HTH, Carl.

  • My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?

    My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?
    It is now running Yosemite 10.10.1. I seem to have plenty of memory but the machine still runs slower than before installing Yosemite. Excel has a very noticeable lag when opening and loading files.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I ran through the various steps as suggested including resetting the SMC.
    I would say that there was about a 10% improvement. Although one of the icons still bounced for the count of 40
    I'm still wondering why from the About this Mac, then System Report. it refers to my name MacBook Pro (2).
    All the various problems seem to have started with the upgrade to Yosemite.

  • After recent FF updates, many menu CONTENTS are gone!

    After recent Firefox updates (most likely during August 2014), several pop-up menus and the like no longer show the actual content. The menu frame and some buttons still appear, but the main "business" part of the menus are gone!
    For example, the Firefox Tools->Options menu shows NOTHING but an empty frame and the "OK", "Cancel", and "Help" buttons.
    This is difficult to explain in words, but since I don't see any way to post images here, allow me to link to my post on the Mozillazine forum where image posting is allowed:

    The problem definitely exists in FF 32.0.2 and 32.0.3, but I suspect it existed earlier. The same problem exists on every Windows 7 computer I own.

  • IMac looks like this after todays Yosemite Update

    My iMac now looks like this after todays Yosemite Update. Is this iOS or Hardware issues ?

    Well I managed to get the Snow Leopard disk out and restarted the mac using OS X Recovery. I've selected the option to reinstall OS X. I'm at a screen that is asking me to 'Select the disk where you want to install OS X'. I'm presented two options one labeled 'EFI' and the other 'Recovery HD'. I chose the later but it's been sitting on a spinning beach ball for 30 minutes now so I can't select 'Install' to proceed. Any idea what has happened to my mac? A hard drive failure I assume or something else?

  • OS X v.10.4.11 incredibly sluggish, crashing often after recent upgrades.

    About two months ago I upgraded my +15" Powerbook G4+'s stock-RAM from the factory issue 500-something KB card by swapping it out for *2GB of Kingston DDR2 SD RAM*. It was a quick, by the book swap. And almost immediately the computer was faster, less bogged down for usable memory, and could handle multiple applications with greater ease.
    BUT after a week or so I began getting this crash message (link is safe, just a screencap of error message): *http://i40.tinypic.com/sq175j.jpg*. +The computer would freeze and demand to be manually shut down and restarted+. Once it was turned back on, the computer would display a "Report Error Message" saying that OS X had unexpectedly crashed.
    My computer went out of warranty back in December, so I'm trying to troubleshoot this on my own. I'm not sure if the crashing is increasing in frequency or not, it certainly doesn't follow any recognizable pattern as far as when it crashes (as far as how many programs I'm running or how many processes I'm operating with). Usually I'm only using 30% of RAM, but the computer sounds likes it's working at 85-95%, getting incredibly hot and beginning to slow - then crashing.
    I've considered moving all of my files to my external HD and reinstalling OS X 4.11, I've also considered saving some $ and upgrading to 10.5.6 (Leopard). If anyone has any experience with this issue or something like it, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Northwarda, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    First question, how much free space do you have on your Hard Drive?
    Second, Boot off your Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
    Thirdly...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
