Computer crashes/hangs and does not accept any command?

why after opening Windows, computer crashes and does not accept any command?
only solution (compromise) which I found is to disconnect and reconnect the PC unit; Windows runs properly after the surgery to close it; next morning found the same problem...

    Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

    Hello Abe,
    If it's a Digital Audio or earlier, you need to install a Firmware update first...
    As explained in "Mac OS X 10.2 Welcome and Install Manuals" and "Mac OS X Welcome and Install Manuals", you may need to update the firmware on your Macintosh computer prior to installing Mac OS X 10.2 or later. The following table lists the firmware updates that are available for Apple products that can update to Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

  • Accidentaly i have block my Mac and does not accept my pasword, what can i do? I've written the right pasword and does'nt work.

    My Mac is blocked and does not accept my pasword, what can i do, to unblock it?

    Thanks for your replies.
    I originally posted because I thought either I was doing something stupid, or that there was some little known setting or control that might sort things out.
    When I called support, they tried 'little known setting or control' route, but it turned out that the ipad was definitely faulty and they have offered a replacement.
    If I can help others having the same issue, I would say call support first before returning as it is possible to reset it if it is a software problem, rather than a fault with the hardware.

  • ITunes 12.0.1 now just "hangs" and does not complete the sync with my iPhone (iOS 6.1.6).

    Hello all,
    I've seen similar posts earlier in Apple discussions, but I haven't come across a definitive answer yet…So, let me ask again:
    Up until 6-7 hours ago, iTunes 12.0.1 was working perfectly well including syncing with my iPhone (I use an oldie but a goodie and it suits my purposes, iOS 6.1.6, 3GS).  Specifically iTunes now "hangs" and will not complete the syncing process with my iPhone. It get to "2 of 6" in the backing up process, and then the spinning beach ball appears. I keep my iTunes library on a separate external HD (USB).
    Even if I only want to launch iTunes 12 to use it (and NOT sync), the application freezes.
    In similar posted questions, "Linc Davis" has asked that the user run a diagnostic using the Terminal utility.  I have done this, and I paste the results below.
    Any help with this is appreciated!

    Dear Linc,
    Thanks, once again, for repeating yourself by sending me the message above (a message you have sent to MANY users with this problem)!
    However, you give me this great opportunity to say two things:  1) YAHOO! I fixed the problem, and 2) I want to share how I did so because I hope it helps others.
    With the help of reading info at this website http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/22/fix-the-itunes-library-itl-cannot-be-read-version -error-when-downgrading-itunes/, I followed this procedure:
    1) I deleted the iTunes 12.0.1 app from my computer
    2) In addition, in reading related details at the website above (i.e., by clicking on links on the page AND scrolling to the very bottom to view links to related articles), in my iTunes library folder, I changed MY CURRENT "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library.old", as the website advises. The current .itl file was the one being used by the iTunes app I had just deleted from my computer.
    3) I went to the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and dragged a copy of the second-most recent .itl file to my desktop (for me, this file was "iTunes Library 2014-07-23.itl").
    4) I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl"
    5) I then dragged a copy of the file in step #4 to my iTunes folder (the folder in which you now also have the "iTunes Library.old" file).
    6) I closed all remaining apps on my computer that were opened and I restarted it.
    7) Now, you don't have any iTunes app on your computer, so I downloaded a .dmg of iTunes 12.0.1.26 and installed the app (for example, you can download from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5661/apple-itunes.
    8) Once installed, I opened iTunes and immediately I got the dialogue box, "updating iTunes library" -- THIS TOOK FOREVER AS I HAVE CLOSE TO 1,000 SONGS + OTHER ITEMS IN MY LIBRARY!
    9) I patiently waited until the library update completed, but it DID COMPLETE.
    10) Viola!  iTunes 12 is not "hanging" (or freezing) any longer.  I can navigate around the application.
    CAVEATS:
    1) Before I first deleted "the corrupted" iTunes 12, I was able to open the Preferences panel, go to "Devices", and check the box that stops the app from syncing with my iPhone.  This setting seemed to carry over; thus, I have not tried to sync yet…WISH ME LUCK!
    2) After going through steps 1-10 above, I didn't immediately have Internet Radio available in the application (i.e., I didn't see it), but it is now showing up and it works!  I just had to wait for a few minutes...
    3) I also use iTunes Match, but I haven't turned it on yet in the newly installed app. On the iTunes Match page, it says, "Add this computer" or "No thanks". So, the app is behaving as if I'm just beginning to use iTunes Match for the first time.  Later, I will click on "Add this computer", and I hope it goes smoothly!
    4) This isn't a caveat, but I think I should say: my iTunes library is on an external USB HD (I have to say THANK GOD for that). Obviously, this has implications for doing steps 2 to 5 above. The newly installed iTunes 12 app had no trouble in finding where my library is (I had it set up this way back when I was using iTunes 10).
    5) One last piece of advice: Make sure that when you plug your iPhone into any other computer only to re-charge but the iTunes app on that computer wants to sync with your phone, you DON'T let it sync.  First, you should go to Preferences in the iTunes app and click on "Devices". Then check the box that says, "Prevent iPods, iPhones,…….from syncing automatically."  After that, you would be able to plug in your iPhone to another computer to re-charge it.
    FINALLY:  I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS WILLING TO SUGGEST SOLUTIONS TO ME REGARDING THIS PROBLEM!  I see that MANY users are having this difficulty, so I thought it would be fair for me to share how I resolved the issue -- my iTunes is running fine now...

  • PS CS6 64 bit hangs and does not respond

    On Windows 7, PS CS6 64bits hangs onto a side of desktop and does not respond as it launches. No error messages. 32 bits works fine. PS5.5 64 bit works fine. Only the regular windows 7 updates (no driver updates or other program updates other than Adobe Acrobat Reader) have been installed since I installed PS CS6 extended. Any idea what is happening? Worked fine for awhile.

    It it worked fine for awhile then failed I would reset the preferences.
    Start Photoshop and IMMEDIATELY hold down the Ctrl +Alt + Shift keys.  You should get a reset window.  If you see the splash screen you are too late.

    Hello folks,
    I am running in a situation which I haven't seen before.
    Main script calls function which executes another script.
    No matter which statement is the last in called script, it hangs on the last line and does not return control to main script.
    I tried to call another script not within the function - it is the same result.
    Can you help please.
    Below example of code:
    --- Main script:
    function checksum
    set -x
    /sybdump/ukgoald/scripts/egrep_expr1
    ##MAIN --- call to script script execution which runs mail command
    checksum
    ---- trace execution of called script:
    + read A B RF_FULL_NAME
    + print
    + /usr/bin/mailx -s Checksum Report [email protected]
    + 0< /sybdump/ukgoald/dump1/egrep_expr1.log3
    + print
    + return 0

  • What can I do about a 2008 iMac that does not accept any input, thus blocking entry of password at startup?

    My 2008 iMac (20 inch) often freezes. Now it will not accept any input on startup.  I type in my password, but it will not accept any characters I enter.  The blinking line just continues to blink.  It will not acknowledge my keyboard, mouse or trackpad.  I have done a forced reboot and a force reboot combined with subsequently disconnecting the power cord and then restarting.  No response from either step.  What can I do?
    Thanks.

    Glad it is working for you.
    Have a look at these two articles they may help if it occurs again.

  • My iMac 2006 had a crashed Lion and now does not accept any Lion installation.

    Hi
    I have tried to install my Lion from an external drive. This drive has basic Lion on it and runs great with my iMac.
    However installing the Lion on my iMac fails constantly. I have reviewed the installation protocol and can not find a clue. It seems as if the drive was wrong but the disc checker does not find a clue when it is empty. I did several partition processes and deleted it with various methods. However a volume of 310 MB was always left, although hidden to me.
    When I checked the protocol some errors occur. I can not judge, which critical at all. However this ReportCrash could be a hint.

    I hope to add the complete protocol for your review.

    Hi
    The problem was a hard drive with a bad storage area.
    I replaced the hard drive with an external drive and boot the OS X from there.
    Now all is good.
    That was solved a year ago.
    Thanks for being patient.

  • Remote desktop client hangs and does not gracefully close when putting remote computer to sleep

    I have my home lan setup with a VPN and a web page on my router that allows me to remotely wake my Windows 7 computer if I need to access it. Problem I have is with the RDP client on other computers or the Terminal Service (TS) on mine (I don't know which
    is the issue). When I remotely tell my PC to sleep I expect the RDP client to gracefully close like it does if I select logout. Instead it hangs and then a disconnected/reconnected window pops up. I'm not sure if TS is sending the disconnect command to RDP
    or not, but I just know that RDP client things it should still be connected and is trying to reconnect to a PC that is already asleep.
    Is there a way to fix this RDP or TS issue or to I need to contact Microsoft more directly so they can fix it on their end?
    Just to be clear the wake up is working and the computer is going to sleep when I tell it to, the only issue is that it does not appear that the RDP client gracefully disconnects from the TS when that system is put to sleep.
    John B.

    Hi John,
    The default disconnection behavior is like what you see: just disconnect at once without any prompt message.
    We have no approach to change it. It's by design.
