Crashing and freezing problem

Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with Cloud Software, my applications/programs keep freezing, crashing, or becoming unresponsive.
Please let me know if there is anything I could do to fix this.
I updated everything on my iPhone and Mac, so that's not the problem.
I also had an issue with computer going into deep sleep and not waking up unless I help the Power Button to shut it down and then the Power button again to start it back up.  I use to schedule it to go to sleep at midnight, but since nothing I did fixed the problem, I have change the settings to just shut down at midnight now.
I like the whole idea of Cloud Based Software, but its not working properly and I have all sorts of issues now.
PLEASE HELP, and thanks in advance.

Maybe this will help with the sleep issue:
Sleep - Wakeup
Your profile shows 10.8.2.
If reinstalling the updater doesn't fix things, hereb are some other troubleshooting recommendations:
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Windows 8.1 crashes and freezes

    I am running Windows 8.1 on Samsung series 5 ultrabook equipped with:
    - AMD A4-4355M  processor
    - AMD Radeon HD 7400G (integrated graphics)
    Recently I have used samsung recovery tool and got my laptop to initial state(from the day of the first turn on), with the first start after recovering multiple actualizations were automatically downloaded and installed and everything was running smoothly
    for a week or so. Problems occurred two days ago, when for no apparent reason my computer was crashing and freezing displaying wide vertical stripes of the colour that was dominating on the screen at the moment of crashing. Those crushes were occurring 3 to
    5 minutes after turning on the computer. I have managed to download and install newest recommended graphic drivers, however it hasn't helped at all.
    In my desperation I have recovered system one more time yesterday, during recovering process (lasting 20min) everything was ok, and after turning on the system everything is working UNTIL I open IE, then the same problem instantly occurres.

    Hi Gbonaert,
    This kind of issue might be caused by incompatible add-ons or corruption during update.
    Reset Internet Explorer then check the issue again.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/reset-ie-settings#ie=ie-11
    If the issue still persists
    Try disable/removing add-ons in your Internet Explorer, or you also could start Internet Explorer under no add-on mode.

  • Software crashing and freezing

    Photography software 'Capture one' keeps crashing and freezing and is incredibly slow at processing images (most of the time it doesn't even process them).
    I have updated my OS and done all manner of system diagnosis which all came back clear. I also updated the software to my appropriate OS.
    The software company ran out of ideas to help me and suggested it might be damaged memory on my iMac.
    Even though I have enough space on my existing memory chips I bought brand new and larger memory, but the problem persists.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks,

    Is it just the one program? If so I'd suspect something other than bad memory. If it is just the one program I'd think more along the lines of software incompatibility. Have you tried creating a new account, logging out of your normal account and logging into the new account to run the software? This is a typical Mac troubleshooting technique so you may have already tried it but if not, do so.

    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Square app crashing and freezing on iphone 4

    I have a square app and device to process my cc and last 2 days keeps on crashing and freezing
    I have an iphone 4 and it is up to date with all the updates, is it the app itself? the phone company? the phone?
    I am very frustrated. Has this happened to anyone? what do I need to change? or Do?
    thanks

    I forgot to mentioned that as an ONLY solution I kept on RE-installing the app 7 times!!!
    that seemed to be THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, horrible and frustrating, has anyone experienced the same type of problem?

  • Iphone Crashing and Freezing

    Hi! I'm mostly looking to see if I have a lemon or if others are experiencing the same problems I have been having with my iphone. My iphone crashes and freezes several times daily. I have to reboot at least once a day, and often more than that. I've already sent the iphone to apple for repairs, and it came back with the exact same issue. I could live with the $200 dollar decrease in cost, but for that extra 200 dollars, I would love an iphone that is reliable!
    Most of the other users I've seen here seem to be experiencing only intermittent crashing, and specifically of utilities...they usually find themselves back in the start screen. My phone is freezing...literally no brain activity. Please let me know if you have the same problems.

    I am not sure that you should be subjected to the Freezing and Crashing on a continued basis as you describe.
    As I have said before, Resetting and Restoring merely bypasses the fact that you are not fixing the problem but in fact putting a Band Aid on a mortal wound. These freezes are associated with a malfunction in the iPhone, whether it be software or hardware, it is a iPhone problem.
    You should get down to the Apple Store and tell them what is happening and either get a replacement or assistance in helping you get your iPhone sent to Applecare.
    I would not wait.

  • My blackbery 9860 crashed and freeze quite a lot

    hello blackberry support.. i hope you can help me...
    my blackberry 9860 crash and freeze quite a lot and it's annoy me..
    i have the bundling OS which is 7.0.0 bundle 2395
    i still have 93.9 mb of application storage...
    2.2 gb of built in storage
    and 97.2 mb from media card...
    what should i do to get rid of the crash and freeze??

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Finding out what is wrong is a matter of deduction...there may be a badly behaving add-on app causing it. There may be corruption in your OS. There may be a hardware level issue. You may be leaving too many apps open. Some apps may have memory leaks. The OS level you are using may have a memory leak. Many possibilities exist...so it's a matter of deduction for you to figure it out.
    I would suggest starting with a clean OS reload. At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • Why does elements 13 crash and freeze while starting up while using windows 8.1

    Have had problems with crashes and freezing up with both elements 12 and now elements 13.   Thinking there are problems with Windows 8.1 and adobe premiere elements.   Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

    Perhaps you also need to reset the preferences file for your both PSE12 and PSE13.  The suggested method for earlier versions (10 and 11) was posted here:
    <can't get pse10 to take my styles, have had pse 10 since 2011 bought pse13 and installed, uninstalled pse10 inorder to get pse13 to install easer, I reinstalled pse10 but now the stules I have do not appear in the effect section. I have checked BOTh secti>
    Read post number 3 to see if it works in PSE12 and PSE13.  Do 12 first and then 13.

  • PPro CC14 won't stop crashing and freezing only minutes after editing commences...

    I seem to have tried everything to fix the issue but PPro CC14 won't stop crashing and freezing only minutes after editing commences. I am working on a Mac and have just updated to Mavericks as a final attempt to help solve the problem. I have tried calling Adobe but their phone support in Australia is shocking. I have resorted to posting here but haven't had any help yet. I really need to sort this issue out ASAP.

    Its it possibly related to your graphics drivers?  Seems similar to something I was experiencing that was resolved by updating my nvida cuda drivers (see thread link).  I also started running activity monitor to keep track of the memory and processor use.  That said after solving the problem by updating my drivers and switching to the CUDA acceleration, on occasion I get into ruts where it opens and freezes all the time.  It does seem helpful to try and reduce project size if possible - I normal keep a track record of sequence revisions and such, but when possible it seems that clearing out as much as possible by deleting or project managing into a new project can help things run better.

  • SOLVED: crashes and freezes

    Ever since upgrading to SL, I have suffered frequent crashes and freezes which eventually bring the whole system down, and I have to Restart. Our IT guys (thanks Paul O'Connor) came up with a solution that reliably works for me. It possibly may have nothing to do with problems other people are experiencing, but I thought I'd share it with everyone, because it has been such an effective solution for me.
    1. When first logging on, open Terminal (found in Applications>Utilities).
    2. Type: 'sudo launchctl' and enter an admin password at the prompt.
    3. Leave the terminal window open where you can get at it when needed.
    4. When an application freezes or the Mac starts to behave badly, go to the Terminal window and type:
    'stop com.apple.DirectoryServices' <return>
    then
    'start com.apple.DirectoryServices' <return>
    For me, this brings my frozen apps magically back to life.
    I hope this helps a few others,
    Julian Blow

    So what do if I do if terminal stopped working ever since I installed Snow Leopard? Also, in root mode, I am not even allowed to use the sudo command since it says both root and my main account are not in the sudoers file.
    Looking at these threads on "Using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard", almost none are about using features in the OS. They are all about how SL screwed up their computer and apps. Apple should be deeply concerned.

  • Why is my MBP Retina 15" continuously crashing and freezing within iPhoto as I flip through my photo albums ?

    Why is my MBP Retina 15" continuously crashing and freezing within iPhoto as I flip through my photo albums ?  This has occured all day now, with about 12 reboots and the problem presists.  Problem started while sharing photos with facebook and now occurs while fipping through all photo albums.  Have had additional problems with continuose freezing up and locking up in many other native and non-native applications, freezing all the time.  This reminds me of window based systems !

    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.  Repair permissions and restart your computer.  If this works, one of your peripherals is the culprit. Otherwise, you should post in the iPhoto forum area in case your issue is software related rather than the Macbook Pro.

  • 2012 MBP 15" crashing and freezing

    I just purchased my macbook pro about a week and a half ago. I've already had a couple of crashes and freezes. At first, i thought it might have been the google chrome I was using. I deleted chrome about 5 days ago and it still has been freezing.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or, should I just bring this in?

  • New to Apple TV - do they all crash and freeze like this?

    I have had mine for about 10 days. I have had it freeze (and do the diagnostics/restart) about 15 times.
    I am starting to get the hang of it. It seems to hate a bunch of my videos (encoded home movies mostly - used Handbrake and VisualHub's Apple TV setting). I can get it to crash 'on demand' on a few videos.
    What gives with the crashing? Can't it just choke on a video and refuse to play? Many times the crashing does not seem to be specific to a video though.
    I have tried the diagnostics - it reported that it was fine. I tried the system restore .. still having trouble. I am thinking if I restore it again I should stick to the first firmware (ie: not update). Might that help?
    Things are working better with the sync'ing now that I know that iTunes must be open - and I disabled the Windows 7 firewall rather than just poking the hole for the port Apple was requesting.
    Anyway - I am really disappointed. The iPhone remote is great, I love having my iTunes library in sync - but lack of 1080p and these crashes are driving my family crazy. I am probably gonna return it, but hoping for some ideas...

    do they all crash and freeze like this?
    No, they don't.
    Take a look at this document to see what formats are supported and how to properly convert them.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1532
    This next document is very specific as to the formats that will play.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP19
    iTunes has the ability to convert movies to the proper format. So does Quicktime Pro. For the record, though, I have converted a number of videos using the Mac version of Handbrake and have had no issues what-so-ever playing those files.
