Computer freezes during sleep

Since upgrading to Leopard, if I let my hard drive go to sleep, many times (but not always?) it will lock up. When it locks up, the only way I can use the computer is to perform a hard shut-down, then reboot. Has anyone else seen this and is there a solution?

Be very sure you are not simply catching the computer between states.
This happened to me a few times before I realized it was in the "going to sleep" mode but not there yet. I did what you did the first time. Then I decided to do nothing and after a few minutes, the machine was sound asleep as usual.
If you see the "pilot" light dimly lit but not out, see what happens if you just wait a few more minutes.

My 4th gen ipod won't backup after it froze during a software update to 4.3.5. I had to cancel the backup at the start of the update and now it won't let me backup to my computer, freezes during backup or says my backup is corrupted.

I pressed 'X' during a backup after it froze during an update to software 4.3.5 and now it won't let me backup on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas? It either freezes during backup or says my 'backup is corrupted' or 'I cannot backup on my computer'. I have had to abort quite a few attempted backups since the initial problem, which I think has made it worse. I have already tried restoring my ipod, deleting the aborted backup from my preferences/devices in itunes and deleting it from my user/appdata/etc on my PC hard drive. Any ideas what to try next?

After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

Computer crashes during sleep

After installing the latest software update ("J2SE 5.0 Release 4"), once the computer goes to sleep it turns completely off (crashes). This behavior is new. I repaired disk permissions, and have run Disk Warrior 3 times. I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same problem after installing this latest update, or if the problem might be something else and the surfacing of this problem immediately after installing the update is just a coincidence?

FIX FOR:computer freezes during install of Leopard on a G4 MDD w/ ATI x800!

I had problems with freezing during installation of Tiger & Leopard on my G4 MDD. It took some trouble shooting, but when I installed Tiger I found out that the freeze was from the video card I had installed, an ATI x800 xt 256mb AGP video card. I do not know why this card freezes the installation process, but I found a way to get the installation to complete without freezing. I took an old ATI PCI video card, installed it in an empty PCI slot, connected monitor to PCI card, and then installed Tiger with no problems. After install I hooked the monitor back up to the AGP ATI card and it worked great. So when my G4 froze with the Leopard installation I did the same thing, switched to an old PCI video card and Leopard installed with no problems whatsoever, then I switched back to AGP card after install. I hope this helps someone.

Computer freezes during startup

My Mac book pro. Freezes during startup. Spinning wheel goes for about 15 seconds, then just stops. Any ideas?

Ok, I tried that and it didn't help, but thanks for the suggestion anyway because device drivers are always a pain in this.
Then I started looking for log file changes because I suspected that something (related) ought to be logged about this nagging bug. The witch hunt directed me towards the google updater agent -- whatever -- that got stuck on bringing chrome to the latest level.
I read all sort of incompatibilities between google chrome and macbooks, this could be another one. I downloaded the latest version of chrome manually, overwrote the existing implementation of chrome and the freeze-up seemed to vanish.
Not so nice this all.

Computer Freezes during Playback, Render and Scrubbing in Premiere Pro CS5.5

CPU - Intel i7 980 3.33GHz
RAM - 12GB (6 x 2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600
PSU - 850watt Corsair
Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
C: Drive - 600GB Velociraptor (with only program files stored on the drive)
OS - Windows Ultimate 7, 64-bit, Service Pack 1 (up to date)
Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (with all updates)
My problem occurs only in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and not with any other Adobe programs, including After Effects. Playback, scrubbing, or rendering in my Premiere Pro timeline causes the computer to freeze. When it freezes I cannot move the mouse, I cannot use the keyboard, there is no automatic shutdown, and there is no BSOD. The computer just freezes, forever, and needs to be shutdown manually.
This problem began a few weeks ago, only happening occassionaly. Recently the problem has escalated to the point that I cannot use Premiere Pro CS5.5 for more than 30 seconds before it freezes.
I have several different Premiere Pro projects saved to a 1TB WD Black Caviar HDD. In some of the projects I am using Cineform converted .mov files and in others I am using the raw(compressed) footage directly from a Canon DSLR. This dedicated harddrive has 60% free space.
Mercury PLayback Acceleration is enabled, and I have been successfully using Premiere and the rest of the creative suite intensively since October 2011 with absolutely NO problems. I cannot remember the system ever crashing once during this time period, until now, which is remarkable. All software on my computer is legitimate, and there are no third party codecs installed.
What can I do to fix this problem? All help is extremely appreciated. THANK-YOU!
Drew Norton

Thank you, Harm I will do this. In response to the video card being a possible cause of the problem, I moved forward and downloaded Furmark to test it. When running Furmark the program crashes. It gets going on the test and crashes, and apparently according to other websites this means my graphics card is not running at capacity. Do any of you have experience with this?
If it is as clean cut as a busted graphics card I would be very excited to know.

Computer Freezing/ Delayed Sleep

I recently installed Lion the other day and ever since, my computer would freeze at random times, when I try to force quit- it does nothing meaning I have to do force shutdown by hitting the power button. Also, when I tell it to go to sleep- It is delayed a good minute. Never had that delay in Snow Leopard, it would go right to sleep immediatley.

I, too, have been experiencing random freezes since installing LION. Everything on my display comes to a dead stop--progress bars and even the clock. I can move the mouse cursor, but I can't use the keyboard or click with the mouse at all. Nothing to do but hold down the power button.
The freezes don't seem to be associated with any particular activity or application.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Computer freezes during backup

I'm running Snow Leopard on my 2007 MacBook Pro. I bought and installed a 1 T time capsule in December, and it worked fine for about a month. Then it started hanging up during backups; I thought the problem was interference from open programs. I started making a habit of closing everything before backups started. Tonight I waited about 10 minutes for it to finish backing up about 5 m of data; then synchronization came on automatically. Twenty minutes later neither had finished, so I did the only thing that helps: powering off manually. What's the remedy? Does it help to reinstall Snow Leopard, should I return my time capsule, or just forget about automatic backups? Right now, I have to wait at least 5 or 10 minutes after waking it from sleep before I dare to even check my mail.

I experience similar trouble. Time Capsule use kills my iMac.
We are long-time Apple users and I bought a 2TB time capsule to back-up my new iMac. I set-up for a first back-up using ethernet for speed as recommended. The backup data transfer ran at kbits/sec ! It took days for that first run. Since then the iMac performance went through the floor. Every hour (WHY is that not configureable?)
Because when it's working properly, that's best. If it's not working properly, fix it. Then the hourly backups will be quick and rarely noticed, as they are for most folks.
when TimeMachine kicks-in the 3GHz Core 2 Duo iMac becomes unusable - almost completely frozen. It crashes at least 5 times per day. After a few weeks of misery I disconnect the time capsule and life returned to normal. Today, feeling foolishly optimistic, I reconnected the capsule. Instantly the iMac was in trouble. The spinning wheel of death active in every application as I desperately tried to regain enough control to bring up the force-quit menu. Disconnected the capsule but it was too late and I had to use the power button to restart. All my s/w is up-to-date. All instructions followed 'by the book'.
Really? What "book" was that?
If you just want to complain, please disregard this.
If you want some help fixing it, this is the place. Start by following the suggestions in my previous post. If those don't help, post back with what you've done and the results, and provide some clarification: what crashes at least 5 times per day, Time Machine backups or your Mac?
How much data is on your internal HD, and any other disks being backed-up?

Computer Freezes during games - crash logs included - help?

My PowerMac has been crashing during WC3 and Halo (1.5.2) for the last six months or so. I though it might be hardware, but I switched out my PM Dual 2.0 for a PM Dual 2.5 with my Dad, and the only things I kept were the hard drives and airport card. Still they freeze and force restart. I just erased my hard drive and installed Leopard from scratch. SAME PROBLEM, even though in most cases I reinstalled fresh versions of software (and only a limited amount). I pulled Halo and WC3 from my backup instead of reinstalling, knowing that I've reinstalled them each several times previous from scratch and still had the same problem. Can you help?
Thanks

I've got 2.5 gig of memory, both games are Leopard compatible (and had the exact same problem in Tiger), and all have current patches. I also own both games, so I know it's not about downloading some faulty bits for P2P or anything like that. I also have 75 GB of available memory out of a possible 300 GB, so it's not that there's a lack of space causing problems. As I mentioned, I erase/installed a fresh OS. I've turned off airport, alternated between hard drives, tried creating a new user account, even ejected my backup hard drive in case that was gumming things up. Permissions and repairs are A-OK.
I finally found a thread that suggested there some issue with dual processors and 3D games, though primarily the people who were talking about it were Intel users, many of whom were playing games through BootCamp and Parallels. Nothing helpful there.
Any more thoughts?

Computer freezes during sync

I tried to sync my ipod today and when I plug it into the computer,
the computer completely freezes. The mouse freezes. The only way to un-freeze
the computer is to turn off the computer. Alt-Ctl Delete will not shut off the computer. I have to unplug it. I tried it at least 5 times and still
nothing. I-tunes was working fine. The Ipod still works with my headphones.
Any suggestions??

Welcome to the club...I just had this problem and ended up returning my "new" refurbished 3g ipod (15gb) to the apple store for another one. My 3g ipod would lock up itunes and then the mac after loading about 300-700 songs out of 2500. I am currently awaiting my replacement's replacement.

Computer Freezes during games - crash logs included

My PowerMac has been crashing during WC3 and Halo (1.5.2) for the last six months or so. I though it might be hardware, but I switched out my PM Dual 2.0 for a PM Dual 2.5 with my Dad, and the only things I kept were the hard drives and airport card. Still they freeze and force restart. I just erased my hard drive and installed Leopard from scratch. SAME PROBLEM, even though in most cases I reinstalled fresh versions of software (and only a limited amount). I pulled Halo and WC3 from my backup instead of reinstalling, knowing that I've reinstalled them each several times previous from scratch and still had the same problem. Can you help?
Thanks

Wrong forum. Ooops.

On Leopard after running software update computer freezes during restart

Hi All,
I hope I am posting this in the right place. I have installed Leopard (brand new installation with formating the HD before install). It went lovely. Migrate all of my accounts and settings form my other HD. BTW that other HD was upgraded to Leopard they the upgrade feature of Leopard instal and had the same problem that I'm going to describe here. After installation was complete, I worked on my computer just fine for a few hours, restarted it a few time an it worked great. I've installed software updates (iTunes 7.5 QT7.3 etc...) at this point when my system requested a restart and I click "restart" button, the computer tried to restart and froze at the point when the screen went black but the tower never restarted. In fact after about a minute of system being frozen, all of the fans in the tower went blowing full force.
Now, here is the history. I've done the Leopard upgrade on my system HD a week before this happened and after downloading this software update had the same problem. Can not restart at all. The computer works fine for about 1 day and after that the system starts to slow down a lot.
I called Apple, they didn't know what that was. Went to Apple store, they check the hardware and... It's good. Was advised to reinstall the Leopard on "clean" HD with brand new installation rather then update. I did all this yesterday on my 2nd HD and as I've said above, it worked just fine until I've installed this update.
So, my question to you all. Did anyone else experienced this type of problem?
I'm still on hold wanting for Apple tech support to try and resolve this with them. I was just hoping that some of you may know this and may have a fix/advise for me.
Thank you in advance for your help

Same thing happened to me and I get the same error message. These are the programs that don't work

IMac freezes during sleep bluetooth connection lost

I have a 27" iMac and when the screen goes to sleep I lose my bluetooth connection and must restart the iMac using a wired mouse or the power button.
I have a wireless Apple keyboard, magic mouse and magic trackpad. The screensaver is off, energy saver set to leave the hard drive running, and simply darken the screen after 15 minutes.
Every morning all my bluetooth devices are nonresponsive. Fortunately I have an old Apple USB mouse which allows me to restart.
I've tried deleting user preferences for com.apple.bluetooth.plist.
Should I just do an archive and install?
Thanks,
--Jamey

Computer Freezes During Start Up!!! -

For some reason, I get a message stating that the computer was not shut down properly and is being checked for errors, etc. Then it proceeds to start up in 9.2 (??!!) and stalls out pretty much right away. I dont know what to do. I can't do anything. How could I approach this?
Thanks,
Jon

put in your installation disk and either reinstall or use startup disk from the cd to start up normal but in order to insert and start the CD first when you boot up when you hear the apple startup noise hold down the mouse your cd drive should open and insert the installation disk and push the cd drive close. then hold down the button to shut off the computer manually after that turn it back on and when you hear the startup noise again hold down the button C and it will boot the CD then either reinstall Mac and you will not lose any data or use startup disk in the utilities tab at the top when you booted the CD.
