Dashboard causing system freeze

I have just upgraded from a G5 iMac to an Intec iMac - I find that when I select dashboard the windows come "in" to about halfway and then the system freezes and a cold restart is necessary (never happened on the G5 with the same widgets). This doesn't happen every time but much too often - I guess I have a rogue widget, how do I determine which one? - John.

The following shows a way to determine if a Widget is Universal.
iStat pro.wdgt/iStatPro.bundle/Contents/MacOS $ file iStatPro
iStatPro: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures
iStatPro (for architecture ppc): Mach-O bundle ppc
iStatPro (for architecture i386): Mach-O bundle i386
But, the first first you should do is determine which Widgets are causing you the problems. Unistall them all and install them one by one until you find the problematic ones.

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.

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....

Spaces causing system freeze and logout

Recently (probably within the last 2-3 weeks) I've been having some issues with switching between spaces. It doesn't happen every time, but occasionally when I switch to another space my entire computer will freeze in the middle of the animation. After a few seconds, my screen will go blue and I'll get logged out.
Anybody else ever encounter this?

I have a similar problem with Spaces under OS X 10.6.4 on my MacBookPro5,3.
When I use Spaces from the keyboard to switch contexts to another window, the screen switching icon "sticks" to the display, and the keyboard only responds to the Spaces switching keystroke and some of the other "special" keys. However, the mouse continues to work, and I'm sometimes able to attempt a restart from the apple menu. But, the system still hangs about 50% of the time, forcing me to do a hard reset by holding down the power button.
I have had the blue screen experience once or twice, but I don't think it's related.
Other users where I work have reported nearly similar experiences with Spaces causing a system freeze.
I have, about 50% of the time, been able to use the mouse to disable other currently running utilities, one at a time, until the screen has become responsive. These utilities include:
Quicksilver
ClipMenu
TypeIt4Me
ShoveBox
It could be one of these is the culprit (my money's on ClipMenu and Quicksilver at the moment.)
I've also logged in via SSH from another machine and started whacking processes with some limited success. It seems there's some collision there with other running utilities, but I'm not sure what.
At this point, my only option is to disable Spaces and muddle through with a single desktop. Spaces crashes my system so consistently that it's not usable.
Sorry I don't have any other ideas to offer at this point.

Safari causes system freeze during page load

Description:
I've been trying to figure this one out for a while now (about 2 weeks), without any luck. I've tried reading a couple of threads describing similar problems, but it looks like I've got something else going on here seeing as it affect the entire system. I appreciate any suggestion!
When a window in Safari is open and you're loading a page, it sometimes (almost always) causes a system freeze. Any action performed on any input device within OSX while a page is loading gets delayed by 5-20 seconds. Anything from right-clicking, to opening a new tab in Safari, to navigating to a new folder in Finder.... literally anything. The actual loading of the page is also affected by this. So when I click a link, the page becomes white and the system stalls. After X seconds, the system resumes and the page is displayed fully loaded. Once the page is loaded, everything is back to normal. I can just leave the Safari-window open without anything happening. It's just during the loading of a page.
Using the mouse to move and switch between open windows are the only actions I seem to be able to perform during the system freeze.
When it doesn't cause a system-wide freeze, it will still take forever for any page to load. Which isn't a problem in any other browser and I've never had any speed issues in general on any device.
What I know for sure is that I can solve the problem by closing all open Safari-tabs and windows or closing the app completely, and use Chrome instead. But I do like Safari, so I hope there's another way to fix this.
I should also note that I've made no changes to the system for many weeks now, other than installing whatever updates might have been available on the App Store.
What I've tried within Safari:
- program restart
- reset settings (every option checked)
- disable and remove extensions (only had one installed, LiveReload for Adobe Brackets)
- empty cache
- delete cookies
What I've tried within OSX:
- system restart
- complete OSX-recovery
- activity monitor (CPU, HDD and RAM always within normal values during all of this)
- checked HDD (successfull)
- checked internet-connection (got 50Mbit/s connection, no speed issues, checked on multiple devices)
- tried other browsers (Chrome (OSX) and IE (Win 7, Parallels) both run smoothly)
- turned off IPv6 in terminal (based on a suggestion here at the forums)
- disabled iCloud-sync
- disabled Dropbox
- probably a couple of other things i can't remember right now

So... I finally fixed it.
In addition to the things I mentioned I tried, I also checked if it could be malware-related. It wasnt. I then checked if it was just affecting my user-account or OSX globally. I created a new account and Safari ran perfectly. I therefore assumed it had to be something in my library-folder.
I deleted just about any mention of Safari in the Library-folder (the visible one) and just to be absolutely sure, I deleted the Contents-folder inside Safari.app in the Applications-folder. I then downloaded and installed Safari 7.0.3. Everything runs smooth now.

Plugging in Thunderbolt cable causes system freeze

I own a MacBook Pro 15" with Retina display, running 10.8.3, with 16GB RAM.
Both TB ports are used; one has a Matrox DS1 dock connected to it, the other has three FW800 external HDDs connected to it (daisy chained). Whenever I need to go mobile, I disconnect all devices properly, by clicking the Eject icons for every device through the Finder.
When I reconnect the TB port that has the three FW800 drives connected to it, I get a system freeze, with only the pointer remaining operative. I even close the lid, but the display remains lit.
All three drives have been in use before, most recently with the MacBook Pro 17" 3,1 that was replaced by the MBP with Retina. I would've certainly thought that maybe the Matrox dock could've been the culprit.
Any thoughts on where/how to begin troubleshooting? Thanks.

Sounds like it's the computer itself not the player. Power issue of some sort. Does the player work correctly? I wouldn't be plugging it in that computer anymore till the problem gets solved. It may be the service pack. The Hp computers(desktops) that have AMD processors were having problems with that service pack update.

Java Causing System Freeze / Lockup

Hey guys,
Ok after days of having my system seem to lock up for no reason I think I've tracked down the culprit. It seems that any time the JRE is accessed on my machine it causes a lockup. I've tried the following and each results in a system lockup.
Trying to uninstall using the Control Panel
Trying to verify version using Firefox / Chrome / IE
Trying to reinstall using the offline downloadable
I launch into safe mode and I can verify the version using Firefox / Chrome / IE. So I was thinking maybe some program was preventing it and causing all this so I uninstalled my nod32 antivirus. I shutdown SpySweeper. I disabled my firewall. I then went an uninstalled my graphics driver and turned off every program that was running.
And still it froze when attempting to even verify the current installed version. And any attempts to uninstall fail with a freeze. I also found a program that was supposed to remove old versions but that didn't help me at all.
Any help would be most appreciated guys as I've been banging my head on this for a while now.

You seem to focus very much on Java. But more likely the problem is in your OS, because otherwise reinstalling Java would certainly work. What OS are we talking about here? I see IE so it must be a variant of Windows, but which one?

Itunes/Coverflow causes System Freeze.

Anyone else having this issue? A few days ago after updating my system to the latest version, my system kept freezing out of no where. Well today I found out that coverflow in itunes, was the problem and everytime I use coverflow my system would freeze up eventually.

I have sent a post lately on another discussion about my itunes crashing: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6747610#6747610
Now I know that the problem is the Cover Flow display options. I get a spinning beach ball only while i'm surfing in the Cover Flow window and then i got nothing to do except restart my MacBook Pro. Since my 10.5.2 and 7.6.1 upgrade the cover flow in itunes is freezing my Mac.
Everything's fine (i've tested it for hours) if i'm not using the cover flow display.
My macbook pro is 5 months old.

Object spy on a pdf causes system freeze and reader crash

Hi,
When I try to spy on a a pdf the reader crashes, the Object spy freezes and I have to restart the machine to get back control.
It also makes IE8 crash if its an embeded pdf.
My configuration is QTP 11, IE8, XP, Adobe Reader 9.4 and the latest version of the tool kit.
It works fine if I try to run one of the sample test scripts that come with the tool kit.
The odd thing is that while I'm able do an Alt+Ctrl+Del and open the task manager I'm not able to do anything with it. It seems like the object spy has hijacked the mouse and wont let the system respond.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi
We have lately found that due to some of our changes in Reader 10.1.2 release, the plugins have broken.
They still continue to work with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 and 10.1.1 ON ANY ENVIRONMENT WITH ANY QTP VERSION.
For the time being, before Adobe roll out a fix, we would suggest you not to upgrade the Adobe Reader versions.
Thanks and Regards

Saving or prewing calendars in iPhoto 9.1 causes program or system freeze

I really enjoyed the last iPhoto update which creates the possibility to make and order calendars among others. But it was a short time joy 'cause trying to preview the calendar (or to save as pdf) caused every time the program or even system freeze or crash.
Any solution or should we wait for another update to fix this problem?

at least you can get to that stage, I only get to creating one and it freezes or crashes.

QuickLook causing system-wide freezes/hanging the Finder

Hello --
Just picked up a brand new MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz, 2GB RAM, 250 MB HD. Running 10.5.2.
QuickLook is causing my entire system to lock up and become completely unresponsive. Here's what is happening:
Using the Finder, I open a folder containing images and sometimes other folders. Anywhere from 6 to 80 images. Strictly JPGs and TIFFs, nothing unusual.
I hit command-A to select all, then command-Y to QuickLook.
QuickLook previews the first image in my selection. And the system is now locked up. My clock stops. Keyboard no longer works (cannot command-tab, cannot command-option-escape, cannot do anything with keyboard). Mouse pointer still moves around, but nothing responds to clicking. Sometimes I get the spinning beach ball for awhile, then it goes back to normal arrow pointer. Still, clicking does nothing, even if I wait. Have waited up to 10 minutes. I always end up pressing the power button to shut the machine down and then restart.
I can re-create this problem, but only when the folder in question has not been QuickLooked before. After forcing a reboot, I can return to the image folder that caused the freeze, open it, command-A, command-Y, and QuickLook works just fine. The QuickLook freeze seems to occur only on a group of images that have never been QuickLooked before.
If somebody has some tips on how I can troubleshoot this, or perhaps any fixes, I would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance!
Mike

Software Update: Java for OS X 2013-002 1.0
This update, upon booting, has caused my disk space to fill up and my system freezes up. The same happens to my coworker's computer. We both watch the remaining disk space decrease and the "spinning rainbow appears" and we must restart. What do we do?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Airport causes the system freeze.

I purchased this 17" iMac Core Duo less than one week ago, and I've updated the firmware to the latest for Boot Camp the day before yesterday. Everything looks fine, but sometimes, Airport cannot find any wireless services (there are half a dozen around me here), this not happens every time, the Airport usually works fine. But if the Airport fails, the system freeze several seconds after I enable the Airport. I do not remember if this happen before update the firmware, but I reinstalled the system today, at the welcome screen of the first boot, the welcome program requires me to select a wireless service, and after I enter the wireless password, the system freezes, the mouse cursor does not move, keyboard does not responding. So this can be happened in a new operating system, I think there might be two reasons, hardware problems, or firmware problems. Do anyone here encountered a similar problem?

I have the exact same problem. Have seen a lot of similar issues as well but not exactly the same until now. I also get the freeze and can't pick up any wireless networks. From reading through quite a few discussion groups, the only thing I haven't tried is replacing the Airport Extreme card. This is my next step.
I've done basically everything else. Seems like some issues with the AE and Wireless networks does get resolved by upgrading to 10.4.6, or resetting PMU or deleting System Configuration files or upgrading the router firmware, or ensuring your Service Provider allows multiple MAC addresses or you can repair your disk permissions, or ask Santa Clause to bring you a new AE
But like I said, you are one of the first guys I've heard of having the exact same problem. I'm gonna have my AE replaced and try again. Will let you know.
