Crashing/Freezing!! HELP!!!!

Okay so overall I'm pretty pleased with my iPod but certain videos refuse to play.
I have an bunch of full length movies on it and they seem to play fine, from what I can tell, the problem is with shorter videos.
Recently I uploaded some Family Guy episodes and some other short video clips, and if I ever skip ahead close to the end the picture freezes.
Say the video I play is 10min long, I start eh video and and 1min 40sec I start to scroll ahead to 9min 20sec, it will freeze and the last frame displayed will be 1min 40 sec, even the audio freezes, the only thing I can do is exit the video and browse thorugh other folders but after a few seconds the iPod reboots, its really strange. Anyone have this problem with it, its a real shame cuz everything else seems to work really well.
iPod Video 30GB

Your profile says 10.5, how current is your software actually?
When is the last time you repaired your disk?
When is the last time you repaired permissions on your disk?

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

    Syncing requires a backup as part of the sync process.
    Delete any existing backups in iTunes under Edit > Preferences > Devices (or simply move them to a different folder on the computer) then try a backup or sync.

  • MBP 2011 Crash/Freeze/Restart

    Recently, my 15-inch, Early 2011 MacBook Pro has started crashing/freezing/restarting/whatever-the-right-terminology-is. It's a 2GHz Intel Core i7,  8GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM (I upgraded it). Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256MB, or the Intel 3000 that comes integrated. 500GB HDD. I'm running OS X 10.9.4.
    What happens is one of several things: it stops whatever it was doing and shows me a screen that has thin, vertical green and black stripes on it. It stays like this until I shut down the computer by hitting the power button. No keys or moving the mouse does anything. Sometimes, it will show graphical glitches that change for about 5 seconds before freezing on one and forcing me to shut down the computer. The last two times it has frozen, the screen just went black. The screen was still on, it just showed all black. Again, nothing I can do will unfreeze it, I have to shut it down.
    It has shut down under several circumstances: I am playing a videogame, such as Hearthstone or Civ V (always with lowest graphics settings and not in fullscreen), watching Netflix/YouTube, or recently, just browsing the internet or typing on Skype. The problem started occurring only when I had been using the laptop for a few hours. Now, it will do this even if I have only used it for 15-30 minutes. It doesn't occur all of the time, so I've been having trouble determining the cause.
    I called AppleCare, and they had me do some sort of re-route where I shut down the computer and held down a few keys before restarting it. This did not fix the problem.
    If anyone can provide me with some help, that would be great. I can provide more details and answer any questions.
    Thanks!

    If there is nothing else shown on the page other than your verified purchase date and that your limited warranty has expired, then I would guess that it is not covered. Your best bet, just to be sure would be to contact Apple and have them check manually.
    The serial number of each machine is unique and can identify when the MacBook Pro was manufactured, which is how Apple decide whether or not your machine is eligible for cover within the extension program as it only covers machines manufactured from and to a certain date.
    The symptoms on the repair extension page are as follows:
    Distorted or scrambled video on the computer screen
    No video on the computer screen (or external display) even though the computer is on
    Computer restarts unexpectedly
    The fact that you've described that your MacBook Pro restarts with GPU Panic errors would imply that it is actually experiencing the issue covered by the extension program, so I would contact Apple and find out whether or not it is covered by the extension program.

  • Logic pro crashes / freezes after running about a hour after updating

    Hope anyone can help me.
    I use G5 powermac.
    Had 10.3.x running with Pro6 with no problems (because of that I'm a big mac fan
    I updated to Pro7.2.x and also to OSX 10.4.8 when the problem started
    It's a strange problem, it seems something happens in my computer after a period of time.
    Logic is always crashing / freezes after working with it for about 1 hour (not sure exact time). When I just leave my mac on for the same period of time not running logic and start up Logic later it also freezes imidiately. But only logicpro seems to have this problem. All other programs working well.
    I need to restart my computer to start working again and then again after a period logic crashes again. I also installed logic express but express works well.
    I already reinstalled everything a few times and also working with just the basic (no plugs, interal audio, no hardware, no extra memory ect.) didn't help. I did changed discdrives, internal memory ect.
    Hope anyone has an idea what it can be
    Thanks for helping

    hi,
    look here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302212
    hier you will find the right downloads for the firmware update for the late 2004 g5 1.8. choose the right updater for your system.
    it should also appear if you use the software update.
    after that it should work like before.
    hope that helps
    all the best

  • Computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano

    Hello,
    my computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano. I have a Pentium IV with windows XP Pro. Can anybody help me please.

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • FireFox keeps on crashing & freezing everytime I am in the middle of viewing a site content. It drives me nut!

    FireFox keeps on crashing & freezing when I am in the middle of viewing content on a certain site like http://affiliate-resources.info for information to use, it drives me nut!
    I love using FireFox as my default browser, but lately, with it always & constantly updating itself to new version that, I don't see any improvement, but only bring headaches and pissed me off especially in the middle of checking out something online and all of a sudden, everything just freezes, and the only way for me to continue was to run my CTRL+alt+DELETE button to stop the running of FireFox because it is not responding.
    This really sucks. I have been using FireFox as my default browser for years, and I do think that it's the best browser in the world, but man, I sure wish the people at mozilla.org would stop updating FireFox to become a non-working-browser. I just don't see it got any better, but only got worser!
    The best FireFox version, to me, was FireFox 3.6 version. I loved using it, but it's not available anymore.
    Is there a way I can continue to use FireFox 3.6?
    Thanks.

    It is possible to install and run Firefox 3.6, but it is not advisable as it is out of date and not secure. If you are doing webdesign you will presumably mainly wish to test the latest versions of Firefox rather than an insecure version that is used but only a very small minority of users.
    * see [[Install an older version of Firefox]] <br/>(The article cautions against use of previous versions, but then provides a download link)
    * you may also be interested in [[Common questions after upgrading from Firefox 3.6]]
    If you suffer from crashes see
    * [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]
    If you have corporate users as clients they may be using Firefox ESR which has a longer period between major upgrades

And doing other thing. Thought it might be apps i factory reset phone. Same problems.... now its after my30 days and verizon will only send me a refurbished phone. I have owned this phone for 33 days and never had a workin one. Now they want to send me a used one. When i pay 300 for this device..., a lawsuit is my only option at this point. Unless this problem is fixed
    Wow, first post and you are already crying "lawsuit."  The contract you entered with VZW protects both them and you.  When you accepted the contract you and VZW are binded by the terms within.  Consult a contract lawyer if you wish, I'm sure they will gladly take your money. 
    Just an FYI:  Honey goes a lot further than *beep.*  Many companies are mandated to send complaints to their legal department at the slightest hint of a lawsuit and you could very well find yourself "dead in the water" because of such threats.  On the other hand, a little common courtesy and self control could resolve your problem quickly.

  • Crash/Freeze while using Final Cut Express 4.0.1

    Setup:
    MacPro 1,1
    Lion 10.7.5
    Final Cut Express 4.0.1
    Video: ATI Radeon HD 6870 XFX
    Audio: PreSonus FireStudio Mobile
    (Been this way since Sept. 2012)
    Recently, my computer has been frequently freezing while playing back video on Final Cut Express 4.0.1.  This has been going on for probably 2 weeks now (and today, it happened twice in 30 minutes).  I am playing video (fully rendered), then the screen greys out, and any sound loops about .2 seconds of whatever was last playing.
    Sometimes the computer shuts itself off and restarts (like a kernel panic), other times I have to force the computer off.  Sometimes the screen has small vertical stripes when crashing/freezing.
    This MAY have also happened while playing back 1080i video in QuickTime as well, but I'm not sure.  I've been using 1080i videos for over 2 years, so I'm not sure what the issue is.  This is why I think it's a Mac Pro problem and not a FCE problem.
    I put in a new graphics card a year ago, but I haven't had any issues with it in that time.
    I've included the crash report.  I see "panic" in there, and this time the computer restarted itself.  If anyone can help what might the issue be, I'd be very grateful.

    Try removing the Soundflower driver first then restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, remove the PaefireStudio software, restart your Mac to test.

  • IMac crashes/freezes

    My iMac mountain lion randomly crashes/freezes in a blue screen. If a sound is occurring at the time it may echo that sound infinitely. I have to force quit and reboot. I rebooted in startup disk andhard drive. It said it appeared ok. It just randomly crashes while I'm editing video. Not sure if it'll crash otherwise. it just started tonight after I was trying to view my screen via my Apple TV. I was watching an edit from final cut 6.

    Hello,
    "Out of nowhere the machine dies" Crashes/freezes and pops ... does this happen immediately after your boot the iMac? Or when you are using a certain application?
    You didn't mention that you tried any trouble shooting, so if you haven't checked the boot disk for errors, now would be the time.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
    Select your disk, and click First Aid.
    Click Verify Disk.
    If the disk needs repairs, do one of the following:
    Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
    Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk.
    If for some reason you can't boot from the restore disk, try booting in Safe Mode:
    Starting up in “safe mode” may help you to diagnose problems you’re having with your computer.
    To start up in safe mode:
    Shut down your computer and wait 10 seconds.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.
    You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after your hear the startup tone, but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
    To leave safe mode, restart the computer normally without holding down any keys during startup.

  • My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

    My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

    Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
    Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
    other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
    You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
    Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
    I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .

  • Logic Crashing - Please help me if you can!

    Hi guys
    First time posted; Long time browser..
    Alright So I have Logic Pro with various AU instruments etc
    Its been going great for some time (months) and last two days Ive hit a bump.
    We tracked it down to being nexus; (au instrument) however even disabled or removing the .component makes logic crash & Freeze.
    At first it would freeze and crash; reopening and re enabling the plugin would allow it to work again for days without a issue. Now with The Plugin active or non active it plays 5 seconds and severe crash
    Im unsure what to do.
    Can someone shed some light on my situation?
    Thank you

    I will try it tonight when Im home.
    Do I completely remove all AU stuff and go all from scratch? I dont mind doing so if it works again.. Alot of au's to install..
    Any other ideas on what may be wrong guys?
    Thanks for you prompt reply too.
