Bootcamp freezes upon selection

Hello, I have a 15" late-2011 macbook pro.
For over a year now, I have been using windows 7 with bootcamp, no trouble. Last week, however, for no reason that I can figure out, Windows would not boot. More specifically, I would open the disk selection menu by holding alt, but the instant I selected the bootcamp partition, the computer simply froze indefinitely.
After searching the internet for solutions, I found nothing, and in frustration backed up my computer, wiped it, and reinstalled OS-X. I managed to get my hands on a copy of windows 8 through my school, and installed it without issue through bootcamp. Two days later... same problem. Even when I try to boot up from the windows 8 installation disk, I have the exact same problem - it just hangs at the selection menu. Selecting EFI-boot from the installation disk seems to work until I get that "your pc ran into a problem and must restart."
Is there some sort of update to os-x that may be causing this? I do not think it is a hardware problem, becasue both times, the Macintosh-HD partition has seemed to be fine. Again, I was unable to pinpoint anything that changed in the time that stopped working.

Did anyone find a solution to this?
Every 10 min my mac book pro would freeze 10-60s.
I also get a horrible buzzing noise from my mac pro speakers.
I think there are driver issues? The drivers that come with the latest bootcamp are too old. I've modded the latest Nvidia drivers and installed them. That definitely improved performance but it still freezes from time to time every 10-20min and lasts 10-30s (still get the buzzing while its frozen)

Bridge CC - 64 bit freezes when selecting a video file icon in content view

On a 64-bit PC (12 core, 64 GIG RAM) with solid state hard drive and Nvidia Quadra 4000 video card with latest driver. I have purged cache, I have reset preferences, I have changed shortcut to Run As Administrator. I've tried to find a way to run in 32-bit mode but can't find a way to do it. I've also looked to see how I can install a 32-bit version with Adobe Cloud but can't find anything. Any ideas how to stop Bridge CC 64-bit from continually freezing upon selecting a video file icon?

Hi Yammer,
Thanks for the response. From what I can tell it is all video file types. The ones I most consistently have are .wmv, .mov, .mp4. I have also changed the file associations from the default video players to VLC to see if it was a Quicktime or Windows Media Player issue and that didn't solve it.

ITunes opens only in safe mode; freezes upon normal opening (possible solutions that I found to similar problems don't seem to apply)

Hello. I've encountered a problem with my iTunes that I would like some help on solving. My computer uses Windows Vista. iTunes recently began to freeze as soon as I opened its window. On two occasions, it appeared to work the first time after turning the computer on, but would freeze upon subsequent openings. No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all. However, iTunes appears to work just fine when I open it in safe mode (holding Shift + Ctrl while opening), although I have not yet attempted to sync a device while using safe mode. I attempted to update iTunes to its most recent version (10.6.3.25) after first experiencing this problem. The first time I tried, it didn't work, saying that "errors occured" during the update. I disabled my antivirus software (Kaspersky Antivirus 2012) and tried again. This time, my computer said that the update was successful. However, the freezing problem has persisted.
After looking through Apple support and other discussion topics, I found several things to check for (relating to similar problems) as follows. I checked for them, but they don't seem to apply to my situation. Here is what i found.
From Apple Support:
Check for third-party plugins in the following two folders:
-C:\Users\username\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins\
Result: I found this folder, but it is empty, even with "Show hidden files and folders" enabled.
-C:\Program Files\iTunes\Plug-ins
Results: I did not find a "Plug-ins" folder in this directory, nor in the iTunes directory in Program Files (x86). However, there is a "Mozilla Plugins" folder in the (x86) directory, containing files "npitunes.dll" and "npitunes.xpt."
From Community Discussions:
-Conflict with Advanced SystemCare security tool by IObit or iCloud Control Panel
Result: These do not appear to be installed on my computer.
I also found something about Bonjour service, and that some people's similar problems were temporarily resolved when disabling Bonjour and reopening iTunes. I tried this, but it did not make a difference.
Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this? Thanks for the help!

No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all.
I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

Qosmio G30 freezes upon Norton Internet Security 2008 startup

Norton Internet Security 2008 will freeze my computer as soon it tries to load and the only way to go on is to restart the system by pressing the on/off-button.
My notebook is a Toshiba Qosmio G30-177 (Model No. PQG32E-02G022GR) with Vista Ultimate and NIS2007 pre-installed. I have no problems with this NIS2008 version on my other notebook (Qosmio F10 - PQF10E-02300JGR, WinXP MCE).
NIS2007 runs fine on my G30 and I do not have any problems at all, but newer versions of NIS seem to get in conflict with my system:
1. I am able to install and run the new version, download all updates and adjust the settings. Maybe one or two days later my computer will freeze after start exactly when the tray icon of NIS appears. For a couple of seconds there is just no response of the system at all and the LED's of my notebook show that all HD activity has stopped. After being idle for these couple of seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a tremendous noise I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was running at 100% for some time due to other programs. Forcing a restart is all I can do.
2. Now this time, I successfully restarted my notebook again (took some attempts) and it suddenly did not freeze. Then I disabled firewall and auto-protect permanently, so there was no freezing upon startup and I just had to manually activate both firewall and auto-protect after start. In order to prevent freezing again after reboot, I always disabled NIS before shutdown. For the next one or two days this workaround was quite successful.
3. All of a sudden, after one or two days, this workaround is going to become useless, because the system starts to freeze again at the very moment the tray icon appears. In this case, restarting has no effect at all, and NIS will continue to freeze at startup. I also tried to prevent NIS form starting by no longer allowing ccApp.exe to automatically run upon start (administrative tools > system configuration > "startup" tab). This is successful and my notebook is able to start normally, but if I later try to start NIS manually, it will freeze again.
I had this problem since NIS2008 was just released, so I thought that meanwhile a Windows or Norton update might have fixed the issue, but this weekend I gave NIS2008 another try without success. I am almost sure that the problem is not caused by any other software than Windows and/or Norton, because I also tried to install NIS after a full system recovery, thus having only pre-installed NIS2007 and Vista on my notebook. I did use the Norton removal tool and followed the deinstall instructions before trying to install the newer version of course.
My last hope was that the NIS2009beta version somehow would not freeze my system, but it does. It does not matter if I try to run 2008 or 2009beta version, the problem is exactly the same.
What really drives me almost crazy is the fact that NIS runs perfectly for some time, then needs a rather small workaround, and then after some time totally refuses to work. In these couple of days I did not change any system settings, install or deinstall any programs or did anything that I felt could conflict with NIS...
So far, I have no idea of a solution and have to use NIS2007 again.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Hi !
I use NIS since 2001 and never had any serious trouble with this software.
There could be some compatibility problem, but I don't think that Vista is causing it, because otherwise a lot more people should have the same problem. Even the installation of all current Windows, NIS and Qosmio updates did not solve it. Of course I tried to get help using Symantec's Support and their user forums, but without success. This problem seems to be a rare one (unfortunately for me). I tested the NIS2009beta and even though it's a new version, the PC freezes again when this program starts. And this made me think that maybe a service or setup by Toshiba causes the problem and other Vista users are not affected. It's a strange thing that the pre-installed NIS2007 version is running fine...
Cheers,

I have a MacBook Pro, it recently started freezing upon startup. It would get to a blue screen and just sit there. I've tried booting in safemode to run disk repair and still doesnt help. If I do manage to get past the blue screen, it still freezes

My mac keeps freezing upon startup. It will get to the blue screen and promptly freeze. If I manage to get past the blue screen, and open up youtube on google chrome, it will freeze before it loads youtube. I've tried safeboot and disk repair, nothing seems to work. I even tried to factory reset it but it wont connect to my internet when I reboot with power + option.. any ideas?

This can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.

Camera icon displays instead of Trash-Can upon selecting a message in the conversation

iPhone 5
iOS 8
Camera icon displays instead of Trash-Can upon selecting a message in the conversation and clicking on 'Copy/Speak/More...'
After restart, now it shows Trash-Can again.

Many were saying that you just needed to turn your phone off and turn it back on after upgrading to ios8.1, so that you could then delete single messages.
It worked when I did it the first time, but today while sending text messages the trash can disappeared while I was trying to delete some messages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2006 Macbook occasionally freezes upon wake up. OSX Lion

Macbook 2006 occasionally freezes upon waking up from sleep (lid-down). - screen displays desktop but keypad/trackpad don't work. I have to forcefully power down and then upon re-boot, it will work.
This problem has surfaced since I installed LION.... any ideas people?

Geds,
Please start a new topic thread. I can only help one person per thread.
Lion will install on any Core2Duo Mac with 2 GB of RAM. But issues with freezing if they are present before installation of an operating system will be present after. Operating system updates do not fix freezing issues. They are either hardware issues, driver issues, or disk too full issues. For that reason you need to start your own thread so the possible issues may be isolated.

Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when selecting Photomerge

Photoshop Elements 11 freezes after selecting images in the tray and then selecting Photomerge/Group Shot or Photomerge/Scene Cleaner. The program does not respond and then exits after Windows checks for a solution. I tried this with 2 images of size 3000x2000. The system is Win7, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 10GB free SSD and >500GB HDD (set in Edit/Preferences).
Since the app freezes immediately I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you able to drag a source image into the editing window or select any of the tools e.g. pencil or eraser. If not use the menu in Expert mode and go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Click the button “Reset Preferences on next launch”
Then close the application and re-start.
Let us know if that makes any difference.

I just read through this post and it did fix my issue. However, I do not remember what mirror I selected.
It was a few selections below kernel.org......

After upgrading to yosemit login screen freeze upon waking up

After upgrade to Yosemite, my MacBook Air (1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB) sometimes freeze upon waking up, at login screen. With a white Apple logo on the top left corner of the screen, my login user name in the center, Cancel button at the bottom of the screen, and the usual login password text box is not available. I don't have control of the mouse or keyboard. This usually happens after extended sleep. The only way out of this situation is to hold down the power button to restart.
The only application I'm running at the time of sleep (closing the lid of my macbook air) is Parallel 9, with Windows 7 and Microsoft Outlook running inside the virtual machine. After rebooting the system, and relaunching Parallel, Windows 7 reports that it was shutdown unexpectedly.
Has any one run into this? Will upgrading Parallel 10 fix this problem?

I haven't found or seen a permanent solution. A temporary solution from another user is to change the screen resolution to the next lower. It solves the problem for now, at least for him. One other disbled their screen saver and increased the time period before sleep mode kicks in. Otherwise, the obvious is to disabled the sleep mode entirely for the time being. These are from people with different hardware. These may or may not help. If I run across a real fix I'll let you know. Appreciate, if you can do the same.

Mail app freezes upon opening after Mavericks install

Following my installation of mavericks, apple mail app freezes upon opening. Windows do not open; program immediately begins "not responding." Having followed this with a force quit loop for a day, I installed airmail, a serviceable alternative, but not well integrated with address book. As such, I'm interested in finding a fix for mail app. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

Freezing upon capturing

I run FCX 1 on a g4 466 10.4.9 recently I have been experiencing freezing upon capturing footage from either my JVC deck or vx 2100 . The audio goes totally out of sync also. It happens with any external drive and even the mac hd. Also I went to another machine, captured to my Wd 500 drive and when I got home, only one of the tapes was there-(there are two in the project) I went back to the lab and looked- both tapes exist on the drive but my computer cannot find one.
I recentl upgraded to QT 7- could that affect anything? Trashed p lists, re started, even got new fw cables. Am at the end of my rope- help!

If your capture woes started soon after the QT 7 install then it's entirely possible.
Should you want to re-install a previous version look here:

Mac Pro Freezing upon wakeup

I installed SL on both my Macbook Pro and my Mac Pro desktop. No problems with the laptop but the desktop is freezing upon wake up. If you click on items on the dock they bounce forever and my wheel pointer spins continuously. Computer doesn't come back and needs a hard shutdown.
Any ideas how to fix this only upon startup from sleep? The Mac Pro is about a month old.

The problem continues to plague me. I'm almost positive it's connected to the external drives both USB. One just regular WD mybook USB drive. The other is my time machine backup. After I unplugged the WD drive computer performed a little better but as soon as it accessed the time machine drive started freezing again. I reformatted the time machine drive and am hoping that solves the problem but have not have a chance to check it. Overall not very impressed with this install. The Macbook pro that's 3 yrs old is fairing okay. But Mac pro that was only a month old now seems to be plagued with problems. I've never had this much trouble with a MAC OS upgrade. Would be one thing if this was my only problem but spaces is acting up and WoW is crashing now because of the upgrade too.
