Could ths be causing repeated freezes?

The computer in question is a G4 MDD 1.25GHZ model with a single processor. It has 768MB of RAM and is running OS 9.2.2. The user is mainly working in Quark 4.1.1, Photoshop 6, Acrobat 5.0 (Distiller) and some Illustrator.
About a month ago this computer started freezing. It would freeze during start up. It would freeze in any of the above-mentioned programs. I'd start it up in OS 10.3.9 and it would freeze. I decided to do a complete reinstall, and encountered freezes while installing 10.3.9.
I purchased a new hard drive, got the OS installed and it started freezing again. I swapped RAM with another 1.25 and it still froze.
I tried to start it from a CD recently and it wouldn't recognize any CD. And then I remembered ... I had pulled the DVD burner from this model and exchanged for a CD burner in a Quicksilver G4. Thus, the Quicksilver had the MDD's DVD burner, and the MDD had the Quicksilver's CD burner.
I unplugged the CD burner in the MDD and it didn't freeze all of yesterday or overnight. And it's still running.
Both optical drives are set for cable select. Is there something about the Quicksilver's optical drive that may be causing the repeated freezes?
Thanks in advance.
1.25GHZ MDD single processor Mac OS 9.2.x

Since there's only one optical drive in each Mac, I
presume I'd set the jumper for Master?
Yes. And the drive should be connected to the connector on the end of the cable, not the one in the middle.
Verify the cables are fully seated (including the power connection) at both the motherboard and the drive. Make sure the cable isn't pinched when you close the case, cut, or otherwise damaged. (I've done that, grounded out the cable on the frame..nothing worked)
I haven't tried the hardware test CD in part because
the DVD-ROM in the Mac in question won't recognize
disks. This problem just cropped up and is what got
me to thinking if the optical drive was the problem.
If the drive worked in the other machine, it should work in this one.
Thats why I'm more inclined to think cables of jumpers as opposed to hardware.
As stated, I've done that swap before w/o issue. I've also pulled an ancient 4x CDR from an old Windows box and put it in a QS machine w/o a problem.

X200s Wireless Randomly Turning off Causing System Freeze

Hi,
I've run into a problem recently with my 2009 x200s running Windows 7 Home edition.
Over the last day I noticed that after doing between 5-10 minutes of wireless web browsing, the system freezes. The exact moment this happens, I also notice that the wireless indicator just below the LCD goes from active to inactive. Further, while no amount of key-pressing does anything, including ctrl-alt-del, I can, amazingly, turn on/off the thinkpad lcd nightlight! The only way to recover from this is to press down on the power button for 5 seconds and reboot.
Then, 5-10 minutes later, the random freeze repeats. That is, with the wireless indicator light doing from green to dark.
By the third time this occured, I got a hint. I checked the event logs for anything unusual. Nothing.
I'm running a current version of Avast! antivirus and ran a Malwarebytes scan, again, nothing!
I'm at my wit's end. Any ideas from Lenovo gurus?
Help!
Best,
Dave

Ok, an update.
The freezing occurred while working in the library. That hadn't been a problem previously. So, why today?
I went home and tried it again. Everything seemed to work fine.
So, I guess my question now is this: Why would my x200s wireless connection stop working in a public access point causing a freeze in Win7 while working just fine at home??
Odd....

My iPhone 4S repeatedly freezes or restarts after upgrading to iOS 6

After my sleep button failed on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5, the Genius at the Genius Bar gave me a brand new iPhone 4S running iOS 6. Since then, I have experienced repeated freezes or spontaneous restarts - either I'll try to wake the phone from sleep, and it will not wake up, and I'll have to restart it manually, or I'll look over at my phone and see the Apple logo like it restarted on its own. Have other people experienced this in iOS 6, and if so, what's causing it?

Perhaps. I'm going to take it back to the Genius Bar where I got it and talk to them about it. Maybe it's a software issue (since I was using iOS 5 on the previous phone and am using iOS 6 on this one), and maybe there's a simpler fix than replacing the phone again, but if they think it's a hardware issue, then I'll get another replacement.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

It sounds like the battery might have gone bad, and is swelling and causing the symptoms you describe. Do not attempt to use the phone, but take it to Apple for evaluation.

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers and firefox

This is a serious pain.
Please help.

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

ITunes Causing System Freezes

After playing a CD or listening to my music library for a while, I get random freezes; eg spinning beachball in iTunes. It happens when an album is finished or a playlist is finished and I go back to iTunes to eject or quit or play a new playlist. Freezes. When I try to click Apple (in order to click on Force Quit), it isn't available...the beachball rules. The only thing I can do with the cursor is click on Finder in the Dock; or the desktop area outside of open apps. Cmnd+Q doesn't work. Cmnd+esc doesn't work. CmndoptnQ doesn't work. Cmndoptnesc brings up the force quit dialogue. That leads to a "force finder to quit?" dialogue. A couple times I've had to resort to hard rebooting.
Suggestions would be appreciated; but another issue is the fact that this is causing system freezes and I was under the impression that the cool thing about OS X is that one app won't cause system freezes.
There's another similar thread titled 'it crashes', but system freezes aren't mentioned.
Any ideas?

Still doing it...but I give up on getting any help.

Change working mode on X-Fi Titanium Fatality cause system freeze

Hi.
Using X-Fi Titanium Fatality soundcard and latest beta driver. But then I need change working mode (from Game to Audio Creation or Audio Creation to Game) it's cause system freeze. And only hard reset helps. No errors message or error logs in system.
This problem appear only if I played any games in Game mode and after want listen music in Audio mode. If don't play any games or listen music, you can change modes multiple times without problem.
I try clean Windows 7 installation and problem is still here.

The damageHandler needs to invalidateSize because the damage could have been caused by a programmatic change which would not have gone thru the EditManager. Need to make sure invalidating the size and remeasuring doesn't cause another damage event to avoid an infinite loop.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

HT1595 Trying to connect my new apple tv to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote, the Apple TV doesn't respond (doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

Itunes is repeatedly freezing, what can be done to fix?

iTunes is repeatedly freezing (requiring a forced quit).. latest software (mountain lion and itunes both). Not immediately but after a period of some time - time enough to play a song or two or more, but without fail the application locks up - if a song is playing the pizza wheel displays, the song plays to the end but does not go to the next).

Hi,
Do you have Match and How much memory do you have?
On my old imac with latest software and 2mg ram, I often ran out of RAM but after 5 minutes every thing worked fine - some back ground process clogging up processing power!!
If you are trying to do searches, go to search box and untick search entire library.

My IPad has duplicates of every email, some go into inbox some into a gmail listing. Don't need two of everything. Could this be causing my IPad to occasionally erase all my email?

My IPad gets two copies of every email. One in inbox and one under gmail. Could this be causing IPad to delete all my email occasionally?

PSE 11 repeatedly freezes during import

PSE 11 repeatedly freezes during importing into Organizer. Sometimes it's the same photo, but it imports the photo when I import it in a smaller batch. I really don't want to import photos in small batches. That's crazy!

I would suggest that you contact Apple at the Contact Us link at the bottom right of this page.

My ipad won't start up. I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, Linda

FYI, your iPad will charge much faster if you plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
When doing the reset, as Jackkcc suggests, make sure you let go of both buttons fairly promptly after the apple image appears, then wait another 10 seconds or so for the iPad to start up. Note that a reset does not alter any data or settings.
