Authorize Computer screen freezing

Hello,
Every time I open up the "Authorize Computer" in my laptop's iTunes, the program stops responding. It acts as if there was another, invisible modal dialog on top of the authorize computer dialog, so clicking anywhere in the main iTunes window or in the authorize computer window results in a beep and a "disabled" beep. My only choice after this is killing the process in Task Manager.
I need to authorize my computer so I can download again the apps I bought for my new iPod Touch... (I used to have another computer and another iPod Touch, both of which are gone now.)
I'm using Vista Home Premium SP1 in Brazilian Portuguese, and I've already tried reinstalling iTunes and deleting the setting folders in \Users\...\AppData and \ProgramData. This is happening on iTunes 8 (both pt-br and en-us); I haven't tried with older versions yet. My laptop is a HP tx2510us tablet.
Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone could offer me help, or at least some clues..?
Thanks in advance!

Got it!
If I run iTunes as an administrator (I'm using an admin account with UAC enabled), it works. I guess the elevation prompt is what's blocking the input in the sign in window -- except the UAC elevation window is not showing up, so I get stuck!

  • Re: Screen Freezes while typing

    Maybe someone can help me here. I ran into problems the last couple of days when I am typing the computer screen freezes for a few seconds,then it will blink,and let me type a few lines then does it again. I also noticed it does it sometimes when I'm visiting a news site,and going from link to link. I did run a disk cleanup,but that didn't help. I'm using a Satellite A105-S2716,and I have Windows XP-Home. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what may be happenning..Thank you for your help...

  • How do I get an iMac to automatically restart when screen freezes and computer has to be restarted at plug

    Occasionally the screen on the Imac will freeze and the compute has to be restarted at the plug, but when the plug is switched back on the computer only switches back on fully with the screen coming on if you switch a button around the back of the computer, but I remember when using an iMac G4 it would come on automatically when th computer was switched on at the plug. Is there any setting or any software that will automatically restart the computer when the computer is off and I restart it at the plug?

    You cannot, what you need to do is find out why your computer is freezing. Perhaps you can shed some light by posting an EtreCheck report and we can see how your system is configured and look for any obvious red flags. You can get EtreCheck by clicking http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • Can't update from 10.0.0 to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up

    Can't update to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up when using Pref/view/update/10.2.8 100 meg combo update. I have to wipe disk and reinstall 10.2.0
    I can't find a stand alone combo that works with 10.2.0 - indeed I can not find any update for 10.2.0. I do find discussions of the 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 updates, and once one has 10.2.2 there is a combo to get to 10.2.8.
    What is the solution - by the way I like 10.2.0 better than prior 9.2.2, and do not mind having to wipe disk and lose 9.2.2. But my wavelan 16 bit wireless PCMIA card, indeed any airport card, no longer is recognized. Indeed I can't find Airport. This is a 10 year old computer and files/docs etc are long gone (but life was good until I decided to move to X this month). How do I correct this lack of wireless (it does connect directly to my Ethernet line so getting on the web is no problem)?

    Hello papau. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You could try the 10.2.6 combo as that will install on 10.2
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=70174
    and then 10.2.8 which requires 10.2.6 can be downloaded here.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate_.html
    Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, found in Applications/Utilities/ before you start and once again when you finish.
    During the installation process, just wait till the system completes things and not use any other applications until the update is finished.

    I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. It doesn't happen all the time but is very annoying. Any ideas?

    Reset the SMC and PRAM, if the issue continues then you likely have a failing GPU (hardware) that requires repair. To be sure take it in and have it professionally assessed.

  • Computer screen will freeze when on internet

    When I am on the internet my computer screen will freeze. It happens when I using the finger pad as a mouse. I can open another Safari tab or window.  But the frozen screen never unfreezes.  Help

    Hi, Ernst:
    Would you consider backing up your files and doing a system recovery?
    Maybe the OS has some corrupt registry files or something.
    If you recover and then it still does that, your only choice looking at the motherboard is a PCIe gigabit ethernet adapter which would be relatively easy to install, or you could even get a USB ethernet adapter and not even have to open the case.
    See if there is a setting to disable the onboard NIC if you have to add a network card.
    I would rule out all software problems before buying hardware.
    If you want to try some other malware program, I recommend the free Kapersky rescue disk. You burn the file to a CD and boot from it.  It scans the drive and deletes any malware or virus files it finds without the PC being in windows. A lot of times viruses and malware can't be removed when windows is running.
    Link to the download and instuctions for use is below. I like to use the graphic interface rather than the text interface.

  • Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

    Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
    - I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
    - My outlook express has no problems
    - other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
    - my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
    - every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
    I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

    Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

  • MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games

    Hi there,
    I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
    While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
    By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
    There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
    This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
    System Specs:
        Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
        CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
        RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
        Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
        PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
        New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
        New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
        2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
        1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
        OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
        2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
    Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
        reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
        updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
        updated BIOS to v1.A0
        Reinstalled Windows
        bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
        checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
        cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
        ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
        ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
        ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
        ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
        took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
        tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
        tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
        tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
        checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
        tested without any background programs
        raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
    I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
    Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.

    Quote from: Bernhard on 10-July-12, 13:15:30
    Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
    Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
    As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
    Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
    Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
    I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
    Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock?

  • When I go to a website, it half-way downloads and then the screen freezes for 10-20 seconds while ads appear; this never happened till recently.

    Until recently, I loved Firefox. Lately, when I go to any website and try to download a page, the screen freezes for between 10-20 seconds while ads load. Why the screen freezes is both frustrating and annoying. I have the latest version, nothing on my computer is different, and as I said, it didn't used to do this. Any ideas what's going on?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Someone please help me! I live in Turkey and bought my iMac desktop in February. The dealer kept the recovery discs and won't send them. My screen freezes seconds after opening and I can't figure out how to repair it myself. Please help!

    I was deleting photos when the screen froze and I had to shut down the computer manually. Now after the first minute of being turned on the screen freezes and the mouse arrow goes into that rainbow whirling disc and won't stop no matter how long I let it go. My keyboard is Turkish. My keys are not marked the same as an English one is, further complicating resolving the problem.
    The dealer I bought it from doesn't speak English and wants to charge me for repairs. I refuse to pack the computer up and ship it UPS out of town for a repair I can do plus pay for shipping.
    When I received my computer I was only given the manual and no system restore discs for situations such as this. I asked where they were and was told there were none.
    I suspect this is a tactic to make money on bogus tech repairs off their customers. To purchase new discs, if I can find them, can cost from $30-$40 - the dealer more than likely is re-selling the discs at 100% profit. This is Cizgili Apple Store in Adana, Turkey. I wish to report them. It is a national company too. I don't have a receipt handy, but have an emailed receipt. I can't get my computer's number to get further assistance on the Apple website withput it.
    I was a dedicated Windows customer until I started doing desk top publishing. I'm fighting the urge not to regret buying this computer.

    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck

  • Mac Pro Screen Freezing Issue with NVIDIA 8800 GT too

    There were lots of entry in threads, where the screen freezing issue was described (disorted screen with strange lines, only reboot helps). Nearly all cases seem to be related to the ATI 2600 card.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358062&tstart=30
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365277&tstart=0
    I opened this new thread to show, that this problems occurs not only for the ATI card but for the NVIDIA 8800 card, too.
    My MacPro was delivered 8 days ago and was running without any problems. But all of a sudden, I got that screen freeze. And it wasn't the first time, I was heavely working 2-3 hours with that computer.
    In total, 2 screen freezes showed on my computer. The first one during working with the computer. The second one during booting into MacOS X. The screen freeze occured during the boot phase with the grey screen and the spinning wheel.
    My configuration:
    MacPro 2.8, Dual Quad Core
    6 GB RAM
    3 harddisks, 1 standard from Apple, 2 Samsung with 750GB
    MacOS 10.5.2
    Formac 20" Monitor
    Perhaps others have this problem, too? Than we should emphasize, that this is not an ATI related problem.

    I've actually been having the freezing issue for a while now but I didn't have the know-how to troubleshoot it (PC tech trying to support the only Mac lab in the building).
    MacPro will freeze randomly (no trend in time, system strain, or open programs). The mouse will operate but will not interact with anything.
    Specs:
    MacPro - Model 1,1
    Dual Core Xeon 2.66
    2gb RAM
    nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
    Mac OS 10.4.11
    The machine always has 2 displays connected to it so the workaround that was discussed for the ATI 2600 doesn't apply. I had 1 display connected here in my shop and it froze for that as well.
