This looks suspiciously like your computer may be having RAM issues.
If you've recently added memory to your system, try removing it and see if the errors persist.
If not, try running the RAM tests located in the diagnostics on the Software Restore disc that originally came with your Mac.

I have one Lion machine, an Intel iMac circa 2009, and it keeps hanging on me. Seems to be related to file system browsing from within apps, at least. Like, exporting a quicktime file from Quicktime Player 7, or within Xcode. Often the Finder will hang and I have to force quit, but the Finder relaunch may not work, and then I have to kill the power.
I dont' know if this machine's drive is going bad or what. Anyone else having this trouble?
Thanks

This ios7 is the worst thing that can happen to apple phones . My phone is hanging all the time what should I do .
Back up your iPhone and restore from backup. If that's does not help, restore your iPhone as new (not from backup).

It's a disaster!
(all new CC2014 apps installed and updated) premiere pro CC2014 ; trying to export media to media enconder CC2014 which hangs all the time. Working on the latest mbp i7.
When one timeline is rendering in media encoder nothing can be added to it and premiere pro 2014 is significantly behaving like a mpb2,1 generation laptop.
nothing of this was happening with my brand new laptop on CC
Not ready with this release yet?
A far from smooth update which I'am not used from U at adobe!
[Moving to Premiere Pro... JTS]Mine works ok until I render out a video. It brought my i7 system to its knees. Rendering out an hour long H264 video (in ppro, not media encoder) once the render was at 100% it just sat there for about 10 minutes finalizing or something? Anyways the whole system became almost unusable and every click or mouse move takes forever, like trying to eat peanut butter with a straw.
My system is an i7 4770k with 16gb of ram and a GeForce GTX760

IPOD hangs all the time. Try this.
Hello members,
I am doing song rightclick then Get info->options->Start Time/End Time feature so that I can skip part of the song.
I made playlist and found that start/end time works some time, not all the time. Also Ipod totally hangs after I transfered playlist to ipod.
Any feedback. Is it a know issue ?
Thanks in advance.Hello members,

I made playlist and found that start/end time works some time on ipod, not all the time. Also Ipod totally hangs when I run the playlist and when it jumps from song to song. It is random and I can not recreate the problem. It hangs all the time on diffrent track.

Mail and Safari still freeze all the time-help
Even with the latest Mavericks updates, Apple mail and Safari freeze contstantly to the point that I can't send email or use Safari. I had after the initial mavericks release gotten mail to function by shutting off 2 Gmail accounts I had on my MacPro. After the update that supposedly fixed the Gmail issues, I turned on my Gmail accounts and Mail started freezing almost immediately on startup. Was able to get in and shut the accounts don again, but Mail keeps freezing. I even removed the Gmail accounts from Mail prefs, but that didn't help either. I can usually get Mail to launch and for the most part can read email, but if I try to respond, once i type and email and try to send, Mail freezes and I have to force quit. Once Mail hangs Safari hangs shortly thereafter or if it's not even launched I can't launch.
I have been using macs for a long time and have never had such a bad time with an upgrade. Have tried most of the solutions posted, and am baffled as to how to make things work.

Name of computer changing all the time
hi my girl friend iMAC name is always changing i have to go all the time in properties and also compare to mine it seems slower i have to restart computer to get back in iphotos or wathever we work with can you help me thank's
In my experience your router is not dropping the Mac while while the Mac is asleep. So when you wake the Mac and it tries to connect to your router it is told that a Mac with your Mac's name is already connected to the router, so your Mac changes its name to get a connection. Look into how your router is configured to hand out connections. Perhaps reset the router to its factory setting to give it a good kick in the can.

Mozilla Thunderbird hangs all the time, won't download messages, won't save messages,
Hi,
I have been running Mozilla Thunderbird since the beginning of the year.
I have always had problems, but it seems to be getting worse.
It won't download messages, it won't save messages at the time you send them, instead a window runs for ages saying:
"Copying messages to saved folder"
Then it says
"There was an error saving the message to sent, retry?"
You hit cancel and then it comes up with:
"The message was sent successfully, but could not be copied to your Sent folder. Would you like to return to the compose window?"
Then there is the problem of downloading messages, basically it doesn't all the time, it hangs and I have to either restart the computer or download them on my iphone.
It can take upwards of 20 minutes to download a single message.
I had a look at the "Activity Manager" and it seems frozen as well.
It also sends up the messages that the server has been disconnected or timed out.
I've had a look through the trouble shooting guide but can't seem to progress this.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
I am running the latest version, and have Windows 7, 64 bit.
I am fast of the opinion I'd better shell out some cash and get Windows Outlook as Thunderfox is a nightmare.
Many thanks,

HT201250 must I keep the computer on all the time for time machine to do back ups
Must I keep my computer on at all times to get the time machine to do updates ? If not how do I go about updateing time machine on a regular basis
It depends on how much backing up you want. Time Machine will do backups if you have it turned on (in Time Machine Preferences), and if you have your computer connected to a backup drive (either wired or wirelessly, like a Time Capsule), that is specified in TM Preferences, and is also turned on. So, for example, I keep my two macs turned on all the time, and I keep Time Machine turned off. When I am not using my macs they sleep. I have external USB drives for backup via Time Machine, but I don't keep them on and connected all the time. When I think of it, which is about once a week, I'll hook them up, power them on, and do a manual backup: I turn Time Machine on and tell it to backup. When I have more critical documents, I keep them backed up on Dropbox, or iCloud, so I know that every time I finish using them and close them they are backed up. If you want to have more complete backups, then you would keep your computer always connected to your backup drives, and the drives would always be powered on and time machine would always be turned on. You could either have all of these turned on all the time, or just when you are using them and power them all down when you are not using them, or have them powered on all the time, but set the computer to sleep when you are not using it. It just depends on what you are comfortable with in terms of backups.

AppleTV and iTunes without Leaving Computer On All The Time/NAS iTunes Server
I begrudge having to leave my iMac on all the time just so now and again I can play music, pictures and video from it through AppleTV. My iMac is 2 floors up from the AppleTV, and as there is no wake on LAN working (I can't get it to work if there is (I have Lion)) I don't want to go up there to turn the Mac on when I want to use AppleTV.
So I have read some articles about iTunes servers on NAS drives and wondered if that would be a good solution, anyone try them?
If I did have my iTunes library on a NAS drive with an iTunes server, when I start iTunes on my iMac will it then load the iTunes Library as it does now like if it was a local library? So I can still manage it in the same way as I do on my Mac.
I assume then I could have another computer use the same library on the NAS? (although wont do it the same time due to conflicts)
I have iCloud/Match so not so bothered about music as I can play from the Cloud (although its hit ad miss sometimes), but I have videos and pictures I stream to AppleTV so they are more important. I don't want to have a computer left on all the time so I can use AppleTV.
If this is not possible, then I am thinking of getting a Macbook for the lounge, but then I don't want to have to plug/unplug my external hard drives into it all the time, which I am likely to swap with the main iMac too.
Thanks a lotP.S. I only play music from iCloud as my iMac is not on. So if I can stream to AppleTV without having a computer on, then I would do that to be faster, work all the time, and save bandwidth.

I have a mac osx and want to use a magic jack without the computer on all the time.
I am trying to use a magic jack plus without plugging into my mac. (It will work plugged directly into the computer but I bought it so I would not have to keep my mac on all the time to use the phone).
What do I need to get a separate modem. I am on air port express (an old one)It appears that Magic Jack installs software on your system that it needs to run. Look at some of the threads in "More Like This" on the righthand side of this page or look here:
http://www.voipreview.org/review/magicjack -
Can I leave my computer on all the time?
I just bought a Magic Jack which allows me to make telephone calls by turning my USB drive into a phone jack. However, my computer must always be on in order to receive and make phone calls. Is it harmful to my computer to leave it on all the time?
Can I leave it on 24/7 without putting it in sleep mode? Pros? Cons? Will screen saver be enough to save the monitor? Will I notice it on my electricity bill?
Barry,
Sure that's no problem. To make the change go to System Preferences - Energy Saver - Computer Sleep - Never - set the Display Sleet to the desired setting.
I'd also recommend check the box that says *Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible*
Pro's your problem will go away
Con's none really. you electric bill increase should be a matter of pennies, check it over the next couple of months after making the change. I've always set my iMac to this setting and find it works perfectly.

Do i have to leave my computer on all the time
do you have to have the computer, where you i tunes is located, on all the time?
If I don't, Apple TV doesn't keep the photos i've allowed to be shared on Itunes, and i have to restore it.
I am getting tired of restoring my apple t.v.. I want to go back to Roku.
Tell me why I shouldn't.If you are using home sharing then yes. Only photos used for the screensaver are temporarily cached, nothing else is stored. There is no need to restore the unit in order to view photos from your computer's library.
