Color freezing during work

HI, I don't use color often, and its the first time I wanted to grade some footage since software update as far as I know. Everything worked great few weeks ago, but now evertyime I make adjustment at any of the parameters - numerical, not the graphical curves or the wheels there is a chance for Color to freeze. In this state I can save the project without a problem but I cant touch UI at all, cant play the footage. It happens at random on every parameter, primaries, secondaries ect. And i happens a lot, around every 30 sec or so.
Please help me out, I was trying to get more grading work but now its impossible at that stability level.
Thanks in advance
Pawel

Yes... Apple please make an update for color that makes it better. Right now I'm using color and getting pretty frustrated.
If i want to save my project I have to go to >File>Save. Hitting Cmd+S causes color to instantly crash. You can imagine how annoying this is as I am in the habit of hitting Cmd+S all the time. It has only started doing this recently.

Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

Hello all,
Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
Greetings
Erik-Jan Vriens

Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

Ports not working--mac freezes during hardware test

My immediate problem is my mac freezing during the hardware test. I know it can take some time for the test to be completed, but it was over an hour and it was frozen at "2 min 16 seconds," and the mouse and keyboard aren't recognized. Even during the short test.
I held the power button down and turned it off.
The bigger problem is non-functioning ports. First it was the firewire ports to my maxtor hard drive and then my lacie superdrive. And it's not the cord or the units. They work other places. That was approx. a month ago. I didn't worry too much and went back to the internal drive.
Then today my internet stopped working. The modem is not reading the computer and the computer is not reading the modem. The modem works fine with my laptop thank goodness (although it's a PC we bought for the kids to play computer games on and it's driving me crazy!). So the modem and cord are fine.
Then a couple of my USB ports were not happy today. One wouldn't read my daughter's ipod touch, but then later did (?).
And to go back to the very beginning, sometimes when I put the computer to sleep, it freezes on a black screen with a working mouse pointer, but nothing else and I have to force quit. If it goes to sleep on its own, it's fine.
Here's what I have done today: done the PRAM boot, some other command-option-O-F boot, tried the hardware test twice--it froze twice. Repaired all the permissions, reset the thing. All this I found out on the discussion groups.
I have read a lot of posts of similar problems and tried what was said there.
Am I heading for a crash? I cant back up my new stuff because the firewires are non-functional. I can't burn bunch of stuff to discs because the superdrive is going bad and won't burn properly (which is why I bought the LaCie which my computer now won't recognize.
I can't get anything off my computer except in bits and pieces with 2GB usb drive.
I know I'm rambling, but I've just spent 5 hours trying to fix this thing. Any suggestions? I'm going to take it in to the apple store to get it repaired tomorrow, but I'm worried I will lose all my data. Also I am scared of what it will cost. Is there anything else I could do tonight?
I'd love to have something else to try. Many thanks,
Barbara

HI Barbara,
It sounds like the hard drive is failing or has failed. Boot from your Mac install disc and if you can run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairs.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

Imac freezes during start-up. Seems to be caused by Airport issue.

My Imac freezes during startup. I have tried starting it in safe mode without any luck. After the initial start sequence when it gets to this point: Airport linkup en1, the computer starts writing the same line endlessly: com.apple.launch [1] (com.apple.mDNSRsponder [2710]): posix_spawnp (“/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder”,...): No such file or directory
I am not a technician and new to Macs too. I have tried almost everything in the supportfile about freeze issues. I am not able to start the Mac in safe mode. I have repaired the disk. I have tried reinstalling the software, but this fails too.
Did a couple of changes on the timecapsule before it happened (creating a network and new security settings and backup settings) and installed Photoshop Elements 9 and did a lot of file restructuring. Left the computer open and came back to a blue screen. Since then I have been unable to start.
My macbook works fine with the changes. I am stuck - what to try now?
I need my files and they are luckily on the timecapsule, but i am not able to open the imac-bundle file on the macbook, why?
Thanks for helping.

did a lot of file restructuring.
In Finder>Go>enter /usr/sbin do you see mDNSResponder listed there?
Try Repairing Permissions for the Volume in Disk Utility (Note: may take a long time in 10.5.8)

IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.

IPod won't sync correctly. iTunes freeze during "Determing Tracks to Sync". Playcounts are a mess now. Please help!'

So since a few months my iPod is starting to get on my nerves. Everytime I try to sync it, my iTunes freezes during the "Determing Tracks to Sync" step. Most of the time it takes a few minutes and then it cancels the sync. I have to sync my ipod atleast 10 times a day to get a song or app on my iPod! One of the most anoyying things tough is, that all playcounts from my iPod sync to my iTunes every time I try to sync. Example: I play Poker Face on my iPod 5 times. I try to sync and my play count says 5 times on my PC. I sync my iPod again and it says 10 times now. It's so anoyying. I restored my iPod already. I removed iTunes and installed it again (And yeah, I deleted it the way Apple wants it). I called Apple and they said I can repair my iPod for 150€, but that's just so much. Any ideas on how to fix my iPod?
Thank you

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions.
Because you reformatted your computer, your iPod does not recognize the new library because it was synced with the older library you had before reformatting. In order to get the iPod working again, you will have to [Restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339] the iPod via iTunes. Once you have completed that step, try re-syncing the music and see if that helps.

Time Machine Freezes During Initial Backup

I have a 500gb external Western Digital HDD I am trying to use as my Time Machine backup drive. The computer I'm using is a 24" iMac with about 250gb of data on it. The external drive is partitioned as a GUID / Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
When I try to run the initial backup, it will randomly freeze during the process. Sometimes it gets halfway through the backup and freezes, other times, right away. Sometimes there is an error, other times there isn't.
I have tried re-partitioning the drive many times, manually starting the backup and also letting the backup start on its own. All of my applications are closed when the backup begins, but no matter what I do, I cannot get the initial backup process to complete.
Ironically, I had the same problem on ANOTHER iMac of mine, with the same model Western Digital drive. The backup would freeze randomly during the initial process but I would keep manually re-starting the backup until it magically finished the backup. Now that computer seems to be working fine.
However, I still can't get this other iMac to work. I find it strange that two separate computers with two separate 500gb Western Digital drives would have the same problem with Time Machine, unless the problem is with Time Machine itself.
Any ideas out there how to resolve this?

Why do you assume it's TM, not WD?
There are many possibilities.
Did you completely erase the drive before formatting it? Sometimes the utilities, etc., that come on new drives can interfere with TM.
Is your iMac an Intel? If it's an older PPC, you need the Apple Partition Map, not GUID.
Is this USB or FireWire? USB is often much slower and less reliable.
If it's USB, does it have it's own power, or does it draw from your Mac? Often there's just barely enough to run a drive; if you have another USB peripheral, it can take enough power to interfere with the disk.
Does it have an automatic "spin down" feature? If so, can you disable it?
Does it have the latest updates? I thing I saw a post here recently that a WD update fixed, but I can't find it now.
Are you running any anti-virus scanning? If so, exclude your TM drive from it.
Sometimes excluding it from Spotlight as well, at least during a large initial backup, can prevent conflicts between TM and Spotlight.

Acrobat 9 Pro - Reinstalling freezes during "Preparing for Installation..."

Hi,
I'm using an Apple MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard).
I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.
As written in my other post (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650516?tstart=0), I am unable to find a solution to reinstall my Adobe printer driver.
That's why I thought I might be able to just reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro completely.
However, when trying this, the installation freezes during the "Preparing for Installation..." screen.
I also tried installing in Safe Mode but without success.
I found some posts regarding this but mostly the solution is to uninstall CS4 completely and to reinstall it again from scratch. But of course I would like to fix the problem without the need to reinstall everything.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!
Wolfgang

Hi Larry,
thanks for your message!
I found that out later as well, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2857742#2857742 .
However, the problem I tried to describe in this post, is that I cannot reinstall Acrobat as it just freezes during the Installation.
Do you know any work-around for that?
Thanks,
Wolfgang

My HP Photosmart C7250 freezes during printing et in preparation of printing

Freeze during screensaver

My PC often freezes during screensaving.
The selected Screen Saver is one of Microsoft's standard choices (3D FlowerBox).
During normal operation the PC never freezes.
Any clues ?
Athlon XP1700+
K7T266Pro2
128MB DDR
Nvidea Riva TNT2 Model 64 Pro
Maxtor 40GB 7200rpm, NTFS
Bios AMI A6380vms v3.7
Windows2000SP3

for toenne
I followed your advice and disabled APIC and APM.
The result was that the startup of Windows did not finish; it took forever.
I guessed that you made a mistake and meant disable IPCA and APM, as both have to do with power management while APIC does something with available IRQ's.
So my next actions were:
Enable APIC again
Enable APM again
Disable IPCA (I wanted to do one thing at the time and see what the results are)
The PC started normally again.
I will work a few days with this situation and come back with the results for the freeze problem.
I must admit that the power management is a difficult to understand issue for me.
In addition to APM and IPCA settings in the bios there are also power management settings in Windows.
(My Windows power scheme settings are:
Turn off monitor: never
Turn off hard disk: never
System standby: never
Hibernate: disabled)
How is the relation between these APM/IPCA/Windows settings; can they lead to conflicting situations; or are the bios settings a prerequisite for what can be offered in Windows?
Is there a website which explains the interrelation?

Ipod freezing during connection to mac

I have a 3rd gen ipod and powerbook G4 with an external harddrive Lacie 80gb which now contains my itunes library. The problem I am having is in updating my ipod library. Each time I connect to the lacie drive (with firewire connection, it recognizes the ipod and starts to update it but it invariably freezes during this update. The ipod remains frozen as does the itunes program. I have to force quit the itunes and eject the ipod and then soft reset. When I then reattach it, it is not recognized by the itunes and I have to reinstall the update to get it to work. Unfortunately this erases all the music and I restart the process only to have it all happen again. I have tried manual update to no avail.
This may be related to the fact that I have moved my library to the external drive or that I am using the external firewire.
Frustrated. Can anyone help?

Hi John,
I have a very similar problem, but no solution yet. Maybe my experiences can sombody give some hint:
At home I have the G4 model displayed below. It is alway kept up to date. Last time my iPod was updated with the songs in the iTunes library there was around 6th December 05. Everything went fine then.
Next time I tried to update the iPod songlist, was about two weeks ago. The iPod would freeze this time, hanging and later crashing iTunes and the Finder (iPod could not be ejected). After several tries I thought it would be a good idea to restore the factory settings. So I tried that using the newest iPod Updater 2005-11-17. The Updater was not able to restore the settings. Finally I gave up.
Then I took the iPod to the office where I use a Mac Mini (it is kept up to date as well). I tried to restore the factory settings there and it worked like a charm. Back at home the iPod still would not sync with my PM G4. Listening to the sounds the iPod made during the first seconds of syncing revealed a repeated clicking as if the hard drive was bad.
So I took it to Apple's tech-geeks and told them the hard drive must have gone bad. They tested the iPod thoroughly, but did not find anything wrong. Especially the hard drive was ok.
Now I have it back here, but it still would not sync to my PM G4. Does anybody have any idea? I should perhaps mention, that the system on the PM has only been updated from 10.2 an, whereas the system on the Mini has been installed 10.4 out of the box.

IDVD freezes during buring

More that 50% of the time my iDVD freezes during the burning process ruining a blank DVD. Then in freezes out my computer. I have taken it to the Apple store and they run some diagnostics on it get it to work in the store and when I come home the problem starts up again.
Help Please!

Could be that your burner is overheating or you don't have enough free disk space to burn a disk. You need at least 5GB to burn. If the burner is overheating, you might try resting the computer for 3-4 hours before attempting a burn. Or maybe running a DVD drive cleaner through it. Might be a simple maintenance issue with the burner or hard drive.
I suppose that you have tried the oft recommended closing down of iDVD and trashing the com.apple.iDVD file located in user/library/preferences, and repairng disk permissions through the disk utility app.
What media are you using? Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R are recommended.
Try burning from a disk image using the disk utility app, at a speed of 4x or lower.
I have no other suggestions beyond recreating the project and/or burning with different media at a slower speed.

HT201210 iPhone freezing during restore.....

My iPhone 4 keeps freezing about 60% way through a restore, according to iTunes when the firmware is being updated. Any ideas how to fix? I have tried a different computer, disabling my security software etc. and still no luck :o( (Windows)

I was doing exactly what you suggested for hours prior to posting my question. I tried restoring, I tried restore/update over and over and it would always freeze between 25-75% through. I restarted my laptop 20 times, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times. Finally, today I was so frustrated that when I saw it freeze up one more time, I just pulled the power cord out of my laptop and walked away. An hour later I booted back up and set it to restore before I left the room and ....magic, it finally worked. Whether the unplug event had any real connection, I don't know.
If anyone does freeze during an update and has the "connect to itunes screen with the red itunes logo" stuck on their iphone screen, modular 747 is correct. Just keep trying the restore/update through itunes, but be prepared to do it non-stop for almost 72 hours like I did.

[Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

Hello,
Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.
