Entire computer freeze while running Safari in OS X Mavericks

I honestly can't recall the last time I've had a full "system freeze" on this or my two previous MacBook Pro laptops. But now it's happened twice in the past couple weeks, both times while running Safari and under OS X 10.9.2. This is the sort of freeze where the only thing I could get to function was the trackpad or bluetooth mouse. I could move the mouse around but couldn't click on anything. Nor could I request a Force Quit as none of the pulldowns worked, nor would <option><command> <esc> bring up any menu. I closed the lid but the computer wouldn't even go to sleep. My last resort was to hold down the power key until the machine shut down which worked. I restarted and it came up ok. I am about to go stare at the system log but haven't done so yet.
Might this be a Mavericks issue?? I am running the latest 10.9.2 and I've been running that for both of these recent events. Anyone seeing this??? Again both times it happened while Safari was up and running so I suppose it could be a Safari issue but I am most often on Safari anyway so it's a bit premature to blame Safari.
Any thoughts???
thanks... bob..

Bob,
I've had Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, a 2009 MacBook and an iMac since the day it was released and have installed updates up to and including 10.9.2 on the dates each update was released. Safari is my primary browser and I use it a lot. I have not experienced such a problem on any of the 3 computers. I have been very pleased with the performance of all 3 machines.
Since the problem is so random on your system, it will probably be difficult to diagnose. If you have not done so, possible a clean install from the Recovery Partition will fix the problem.

My iMac freezes while using safari. I have Mavericks installed

Several times my iMac freezes while using Safari. Only way to get out is to do a hard shut-down by holding the start button. Any ideas? Version of Maveriks is 10.9.2

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.
Specs;
Motherboard - ASRock X79 Extreme 4-M, Socket 2011 - Micro ATX - 4 DDR3 1600/1333/1066/800 - 3 PCI-E 3.0 x 16 - 7.1 CH HD Audio - PCIE GLAN - 3 SATA3 - eSATA3 - 4 SATA2 - 4 USB 3.0 - 10 USB 2.0
Processor - Intel Core i7 Processor - i7-3820 LGA 2011
Processor fan - Intel Thermal Solution RTS2011 AC
RAM - Ballistix by Crucial - 2x 8GB Tactical PC3 - 12800 CL8 1.5 VW/XMP = 16GB RAM
SSD - Crucial M4 SSD 128GB - Comptatibility with 6Gb/s & backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB - 7200 RPM up to 32mb cache
Power Supply - Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 700W
Graphics Card - EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 - DirectX11 - CUDA - OpenCL Support - PhysX Technology - OpenGL 4.1 (so says the box it came in; but if I'm not mistaken I think the command prompt had shown OpenGL 3 or 3.2)
Disc Driver - LG DVD/CD RW... It is an OEM, Windows claims it is updated.
I use an external component - USB Microsoft Wireless Mouse & Keyboard 2000.
I have, as far as software goes...
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Adobe Creative Suite 5, student version or what have you.
- I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
-I have several maxscripts as well as a couple plugins for 3ds Max.
UDK 2-2012 & 3-2012
NVIDIA PhysX Lab 1.1
NVIDIA Texture Tools 2
NVIDIA plugin for Photoshop

As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Computer freezes while running Endeca Tools Service

Hello,
We are facing a problem while running Endeca Tools Service with Experience Manager (v3.1.2 ) on Windows 7.
My computer freezes recurrently while the service is running. The same issue is happening to all of my colleagues who have installed the products.
Any help with this is much much appreciated.
Thanks.

For your question, you probably want the Endeca Experience Management forum (Endeca Experience Management).
Endeca Information Discovery is a different product.

Computer locks up while running safari

I have an MAC running 10.9.2 mid 2010 - computer locks up while running safari - I have reset safari - not sure what else I could do to fix the problem - at least once a day I have to restart my mac

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report—it will be very long and not helpful.

HT3964 My computer freezes after running for about 15 min even after setting the energy saving to 3 hours

My Mac computer freezes after running for 15 min even after seeting the energy saving to 3 hours. Any ideas how to stop the freezing/

Hi Teodorafrombc,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your computer is becoming unresponsive, you may want to see if specific applications are causing this behavior. Try using the Force Quit menu to check for unresponsive applications:
Using the Force Quit feature of OS X makes an application close, even when it is not responsive.
Important: Normally you should not need to force quit an app to close it. When an app is forced to quit, any unsaved changes to open documents are not saved, so try these methods to normally close the app first:
Choose Quit from the app menu. For example, in Safari, choose Safari > Quit Safari.
Choose Quit by right-clicking or control-clicking on an app's icon in the Dock
You can find the article with these steps here:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
If your display is going blank or seems to be going to sleep unexpectedly, try these steps first:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
You can find the article with these steps and more information here:

Computer freezes while updating security.

Hello again. My computer's problems have only intensified. Originally my computer would only freeze while multi-tasking or under heavy graphic stress. Now, the computer freezes while preforming mundane tasks such as moving a window. It's branched into other problems.
I cannot complete the download of the new security update. My computer freezes mid-download, regardless if I'm doing anything else or not.
My computer is even freezing while loading itself up. I have been told previously that my computer has a video-card issue and that the card was integrated into the computer. Now, I'm not so sure that is the problem. These freezes and glitches started some time after I performed a virus and spyware scan. I think that the scan may have corrupted a file during it's search.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. It was finished with the update and when I pressed the restart button, it was ready to restart, then I got the blue screen with that loading image that goes round in a circle. I waited like 5-10 min and by the time that happened the screen was blank, but it still made noise that the computer was still running. So I did the cold shut down and restarted it.

Labview is crashing (freezing) while running my app.

Running LV 7.1, the app just freezes while running at random points during execution. How can I purse some help with this?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
It does sound like this crash is specific to that machine. I did find a few logs of similar crashes in our notes but there's no record of anyone being able to reproduce the error and hence solve it.
Do you have to use this machine for your application? Could you use the machine you know works?
It is likely that there was a problem with the initial installation of LabVIEW. If you do need to use this machine, I would recommend doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of all NI Software. The directions for this are in the attached word document and the MSI blast software you need is at the following link:

Computer freezes while syncing

I am trying to sync my Touch to my laptop for the first time. At the top of my iTunes screen in states that it is optimizing photos and beneath that it states a number out of 3750. My entire computer freezes when it reaches 835 of 3750. I had to actually take the battery out of my laptop in order to unfreeze it and restart.
I've tried twice now to sync and it froze at the exact same spot both times.
What do I do?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try to delete the photo cache folder? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks. Crashes then ask if you want to reopen or not. Also when you are trying to manuver the page with your mouse things go crazy from a full page edit back to viewing all photos on the site and skipping around from picture to picture. Unsusable as it is today!

It is very critical to delete all preferences when you do a major OS X upgrade. You need to go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything pertaining to PSE. To see that library in 10.9, open a finder window, click your user account in the list on the left (the little house with your name), and then click the gear wheel at the top of the window and choose View Options. At the bottom of the list of checkboxes you'll see Library. Turn it on and then you can easily find the preferences folder.

Computer Freezes while importing and converting music

I recently updated to Itunes 10.1.2, and now anytime I want to import a cd to my library or convert a non-aac format song into aac format, my computer freezes. Whats weird is my computer only freezes at 99.9 % importing/converting. i.e If I want to import a cd with 16 tracks, itunes will import the first 15 and then almost finish the 16th when my computer freezes. The first 15 songs are then added to my library and run properly upon restart of my computer but the 16th is not. Converting does the same thing even i convert only one song. I've tried re-installing, and downgrading to an older versions of itunes (9.2.1.5) and the same problem occurs. Any suggestions?

Computer freezes while transferring information

Hello - if anyone can help me I would very much appreciate it! I bought a new MacBook today and was using a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable to transfer files from my old computer (a Powerbook G4). It all started off fine and then seemed to freeze while transferring documents. The blue status bar was about 40% complete and the note at the bottom of the screen said "about 22 minutes remaining". Nothing was happening after about 45 minutes - so I hit "apple-Q" to see if I could reset it (probably a mistake!!), the rainbow spinning circle appeared for about 15 minutes, then went away, then I saw this: "Mac OS X has finished downloading, continue?" and so I clicked yes. That was about an hour ago and still I have the same frozen screen: Transferring documents, about 22 minutes remaining". HELP!!!
Thanks - Diane

Thanks. After canceling the transfer (by unplugging the firewire cord) there was an error code that showed the names of the files it had trouble with. After deleting them, I was able to star the process over.
It seems to have done the trick. Thanks for your help!

IMac freezes while running Adrium

Hello,
I've bought my iMac 27inch i5 at the end of 2009. Right now I experience the issue as if I'm running Adrium on my Mac the HDD goes wild and most of my programs stop running and I only get the spinning rainbow
At the moment I turn of Adrium, everything goes smoothly for a while. I've already used the diagnostic for HDD and it says that there shouldn't be a problem.
I will make some more test, as stressing the HDD, but I would like to know if anyone else has an idea what my problem could be.
kind regards,
teddyofapril

Now I've got some update on my problem.
Today I didn't run Adrium a single time. But while running iWeb'09 I got the same problem. I've started to monitor my HDD via iStat Menubar. The activity bar shows, that my HDD stops working and won't be read or written. After a few seconds 10 to 60 the HDD shows activity again and I can work for some time.
Programs like Safari, Preview or Skype won't cause this problem.
Anyone an idea?
