Computer freezes while browsing the photos

It happened already few times that I was simply browsing the photos in Aperture and suddenly the computer (MBP Retina) has completely frozen and forced shut shut down had to follow. A bit strange ? (while database repair was done few times before, even database rebuilt). Something still not so good in the software ?

I have Nikk plugins but they are not used on those photos. This freezing, as I remember, started after Mavericks. I simply browse among photos (in the large view) and suddenly the cursor and the whole computer freeze (once in few days)
Plug-ins can be causing this, without being used, just by being installed, if they are incompatible.
Check the versions of your NIK plug-ins, if you have missed an update. In November the NIK collection has still been reported as incompatible with Mavericks, I am not sure, if that has changed.
Does a new Aperture library work? Create a test library and import a few images. Freezing might also be caused by having imported corrupted images or videos.

S4 freezes while browsing the web

Several times during the last few days my Galaxy S4 will freeze while I am searching the web. It will not switch to another application or home screen and eventually the screen goes dark. The only way to recover is to remove the battery for a few minutes and start again. Cannot figure out what is happening. Any ideas?

Are you using WiFi or Verizon network? Does this happen at the same location or where ever you go?

27' imac is slow to navigate and download from the net, and the computer freezes while on the net, what could be causing this issue?

can anybody answer this question

Johnso,
Please complete your profile so we at least know a little more about your system, Apple has made quite a few 27" iMac models using different versions of OS X so it would be helpful to us if we knew the model you had and the version of OS X installed.
PLEASE complete your profile, you can find it under Your Stuff and Profile in the upper right of this page.

My iPad air keeps crashing and freezing when browsing the internet . Please help :(

My husband and I updated to the new OS. Now our iPad Air's keep crashing and freezing whilst browsing the internet. We have done a reset and swiped away pages but nothing is helping. Its very frustrating Can anyone help? Thank you Jo

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, confirm that this is what you did for a "reset." Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.

As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Computer freezes while updating security.

Hello again. My computer's problems have only intensified. Originally my computer would only freeze while multi-tasking or under heavy graphic stress. Now, the computer freezes while preforming mundane tasks such as moving a window. It's branched into other problems.
I cannot complete the download of the new security update. My computer freezes mid-download, regardless if I'm doing anything else or not.
My computer is even freezing while loading itself up. I have been told previously that my computer has a video-card issue and that the card was integrated into the computer. Now, I'm not so sure that is the problem. These freezes and glitches started some time after I performed a virus and spyware scan. I think that the scan may have corrupted a file during it's search.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. It was finished with the update and when I pressed the restart button, it was ready to restart, then I got the blue screen with that loading image that goes round in a circle. I waited like 5-10 min and by the time that happened the screen was blank, but it still made noise that the computer was still running. So I did the cold shut down and restarted it.

Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool

In both Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool with horizontal images. Im running Lightroom on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with 32 GB of memory with OS 10.8.4, this problem has gotten worse and worse to the point where the crop tool is unusable. Please help!

Alright,
no replies so far! Anyways, here's some more information which is leading me to the conclusion that the bug causing the effect described above is a combination of Apple's SMB implementation of Mavericks and the way Lightroom is actually using SMB network access:
I did another trial by connecting a USB hard drive to the USB port of my router (Netgear). The connection is quite slow, but moving one of the folders in question (see my 1st post above) to the shared drive connected to the Router made Lightroom on my Windows machine to see the photos again, when I told Lightroom where to find the moved folder!
Everything was working as expected, on the Windows machine again! Moving the folder back again to the Mac Mini fileshare was causing Lightroom on the PC to get blind again for the pictures trying to sync or import. However, accessing and modifying a photo was possible again, like it was before the trial. So it's only the sync and import function having a problem!
I also did some trial in re-building ACLs and access rights on the file server with no luck. So there's got to be a functionality in sync and import of Lightroom which is using a certain SMB feature which is not supported by Apple's SMB implementation!
Any thoughts or hints?
Thanks!

While browsing the cube data Excel the circle pointer starts to spin and the excel go into a not-responding state,any recommendations to improve performance in excel?

hi,
while browsing the cube data Excel the circle pointer starts to spin and the excel go into a not-responding state,any recommendations to improve performance in excel?
I have 20 measures and 8 dimensions.
while filtering data by using dimensions in excel it is taking so much time.
Ex:
I browsed 15 measures in excel and filtered data based on time(quarter wise) and other dimesion product. It is taking long time to get data.
Can you please help on this issue.
Regards,
Samba

Hi Samba,
What're the versions of your Office Excel and SQL Server Analysis Services? It will be helpful if you can share the detail computer resource information to us while encountered this issue.
In addition, we don't know your cube structure and the underlying relationships. But you can take a look at the following articles to troubleshoot the performance issue:

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

TS3989 I keep getting this error when I click on the link inviting me to join a Photo Stream: "An error occurred while joining the Photo Stream. Please try again later. "

I keep getting this error when I click on the link inviting me to join a Photo Stream: "An error occurred while joining the Photo Stream. Please try again later."
I was the one who set up the Photo Stream and sent the link to myself. I called Apple and they said I did everything right and the server must be temporarily down, but it has been the same for the better part of a day.

None of the fixes above worked for me. Continued getting the "try again" error message.
Tryed a bunch of things, such as going directly to icloud on Safari to open the mail message, no luck.
Tryed the following;
Went to iCloud and logged in via Safari, clicked on my account name in top right corner, selected "Advanced" on drop down menu, and selected "Reset Photo Stream".
Turned off Photo Stream on all devices and iPhoto.
Turned on Shared Photo Stream option on Mac iCloud preferences.
Tried the "Join This Photo Stream" button in my Mac Mail app .me account again.
Still got the error message.
Forwarded the original mail message to a yahoo account, selected "Join this Photo Stream" in the yahoo account mail (still in my Mac Mail app), and lo and behold, iPhoto opened and displayed the photos.
Could be this would have worked right from the start.
Oh yea, still get the "try again" message if I click on the Photo Stream button in my .me account.

Random freeze while browsing

Greetings,
I have, in the last couple of weeks, run into an issue that someone else here may have seen.
While browsing the web with either Safari or Firefox, my machine will occasionally lock up. The cursor moves, but nothing is selectable, the dock is unresponsive, force-quit key combo does nothing, and I hear a very distinct processor screech as soon as it begins. The only way out is a hard restart (tried waiting over an hour to no avail). It doesn't appear to matter what page I'm browsing, and nothing is written to any log to give me a clue. It can happen after a few hours or a few minutes, and, very rarely, more than once on any given day.
I think it's a runaway process (due to the processor screeching), but have yet to pinpoint the source. I have recently updated the video card from ATI 9600 64MB to an OE 9800 Pro Special Edition 256MB.
I am connected via Bellsouth DSL, with nothing between my machine and the modem but the ethernet cable.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Dear Doug,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Seems like a system wide issue could be because of Webkit. But lets first try to fix Safari and see if it make a difference.
1. Drag com.apple.Safari.plist to the desktop. Location Home user > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
2. Delete user caches. Location Home user > Library > Caches
3. Run disk utility to repair permissions.
4. Reset PRAM. Follow article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
5. Check if the Safari is working fine. If not then make a new Admin user from System Preferences > Accounts and check all the other applications if they are working fine.
6. If the issue persist then this is indeed a system wide issue. You will have to backup user data and perform an archive and install without preserving user and network settings. Then you can do a combo update to 10.4.6
Hope this helps.
Good Day!
Ravi Dimri.

Computer freezes while transferring information

Hello - if anyone can help me I would very much appreciate it! I bought a new MacBook today and was using a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable to transfer files from my old computer (a Powerbook G4). It all started off fine and then seemed to freeze while transferring documents. The blue status bar was about 40% complete and the note at the bottom of the screen said "about 22 minutes remaining". Nothing was happening after about 45 minutes - so I hit "apple-Q" to see if I could reset it (probably a mistake!!), the rainbow spinning circle appeared for about 15 minutes, then went away, then I saw this: "Mac OS X has finished downloading, continue?" and so I clicked yes. That was about an hour ago and still I have the same frozen screen: Transferring documents, about 22 minutes remaining". HELP!!!
Thanks - Diane

Thanks. After canceling the transfer (by unplugging the firewire cord) there was an error code that showed the names of the files it had trouble with. After deleting them, I was able to star the process over.
It seems to have done the trick. Thanks for your help!
