FF 5 frequent hangs in Mac OSX 10.6.8

While FF is running my whole computer will freeze unexpectedly and frequently. I've found the following error in my console:
26/06/2011 7:20:50 PM firefox-bin[832] *** __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x116ae8960 of class NSCFDictionary autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking

This has rendered Firefox unusable for me. I disabled all of my plugins but not my Theme, Silvermel, because it seems unlikely that this is the problem. I've sent numerous error reports so no need for a console dump.
Please fix this soon!

White Screen hang on Mac OSX Startup Disk

Running a MBP (mid 2009) 2.26GHz on OSX Leopard 10.5.8. I am trying to boot from the Startup disk (OSX Leopard 10.5.2) and when I stick it in a restart, I hold C and it hangs on the screen before where the Apple logo would appear normally, as if it's trying to load from the startup disk. The disk spins up and I hear it, but it just hangs there. Only thing I can do is a hard restart with the power button.
I have started from the disk before, so I know it worked in the past. Also, OSX recognizes the disk when I'm logged in and I can even run the Installer (ask you to restart though).
I recently turned on FileVault (have restarted multiple times since then) but not sure if this has anything to do with it. I am trying to set a password for the Firmware so someone can't reformat without a pw.
Can anyone help? Anyone know why it doesn't want to boot from the startup disk?
Thanks!

sounds like your optical drive isnt reading the disk. can try doing an smc and pram reset and see if that helps if not then i'd bring it into a store to get the drive looked at.

also make sure the disk is clean and if those 2 resets dont help i'd bring it into a store.

Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

CS6 hang during file save on mac OSX 10.6.8

Experienced several occurances of Photoshop CS6 file save hang during background file save and autosave on mac OSX 10.6.8.
The file save percentage counter initially showed progress, but then just stopped.
Close window and quit application commands were blocked by the background save.
Other editing commands commands were still possible.
The files were large .psb files (>2Gb)
Unfortunately no dump available as application was terminated with force quit.
No problems experienced with these files under CS5.

Since the upgrade to 4.0.1, both of my mac osx computers get multiple popups, despite being enable, and slow tracking and frequent freezing

Since the upgrade to 4.0.1, both of my mac osx computers get multiple popups and popunders, despite the block popups being enabled, as well as slow tracking(at regular card game sites, and frequent freezing of open windows.

Honestly I would never run both Win 7 & XP at the same time in a VM. 7 needs at least 4GB to run properly and uses more resources then XP.
I personally use VMware Fusion and XP. At this time there is no software, that I'm aware of or use, that does not run on XP. So for my Mac Win VM purpose I only run XP with the software in need to use in Windows. This work very well for me. I have 2 CPUs and 3GBs of RAM assigned to XP. Leaving the other 2 CPU cores, 4 HT cores, and 5GBs of RAM for OS X.
Not sure why you need, or want, to run both versions of Windows at the same time. I don't see the need as stated above.

Mac OSX installer hangs during installation
Time remaining remains the same for >3 hours
After clicking get spinny beachball cursor.
What should I do?
Thanks.

The installer may actually not be hunging, in my installation on Win XP, I have seen it "pause" at this point for 5 min or more before continuing with the installation to a successful completion, I did not try to do anything to assist it. Try giving it more time and see what happens.

Installing Mac OSX Server hangs at Network Configuration

Hi there!
I am installing my new Mac OSX Server (SNow Leopard) straight forward the assistant.
Asking for Language: OK
Asking for Country: OK
Keyboard Layout: OK
Entering License: OK
Configuring Network:
Ethernet: Static
Airport: OFF
FireWire: OFF
Clicking on Forward to continue: The assistant keeps telling me "configuring network". Nothing happens. It is doing that for hours now.
I tried to connect with Server Admin tool: OK works.
The network is up and running, but the assistant is not continuing.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help or suggestion

Smells vaguely of a DNS error or IP routing or a network connectivity problem.
What did you specify for your network settings, and particularly what was entered for the DNS server address? If you're not running DNS on your local network here, then enter no DNS servers as part of the prompting, and let Mac OS X Server establish its own default single-host DNS.
(You're not going to be able to use your ISP DNS here; those ISP DNS servers are not valid when you are establishing a server on a network behind a NAT gateway.)
I'd probably wipe the disk and boot from DVD and reload.

Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import pdf?

Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import single pdf or multiple pdfs? frequently happens(2/3 times)

Can you provide any more information about the files that are causing the problems? Are these particularly large files? Many pages or images? Have you opened these files in Photoshop CS5, or other versions of Photoshop?
What do you see when you try to import these PDFs? Do you get the PDF Import dialog, allowing you to select pages or images from the PDF? Is so, is it hanging when you click OK or at another time?
Any more details about the problem or other info (as well as sample files) you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help identify the cause of your problems.

MAC: color management failure. Mac OSX 10.4.3 compatible with PS Elements 2.0?

Can't print directly from PS Elements 2 on my Mac: G5 single 1.8GHz processor; 1.5Meg RAM; over 220 gig free space on hard drive; Mac OSX 10.4.3; Epson Photo R800 printer and paper with Epson ICC profiles installed and working.
PSE 2 slaughters the color on printout (this shows up in preview, too). I've downloaded and installed the "Ignore EXIF Color Space" plug-in, it loads during PSE 2 startup, but the sRGB color space is still indicated in the PSE 2 print dialogues.
A second problem: iPhoto indicates that files written by PSE 2 (.psd or .jpeg) are unreadable and will not open them.
However, I can open these PSE 2 files and print them with the Mac Preview application and everything seems to work ok. This all feels like an incompatibility issue between PSE 2 and Mac OSX 10.4.3. Will I have to buy PSE 3? (Although the Adobe web site only says PSE 3 is compatible with Mac OS X v.10.2.8 or v.10.3; there is no mention of "or higher" or of Mac OSX 10.4.3 in particular.)

Thank you for your helpful and quick advice.
Unfortunately, I did not have the latest version of Disk Warrior. Your probably right that zeroing the drive was overkill, but what a great feeling to start over! I feel like I just took a shower, broke up with my girlfriend, and moved to Italy to start a new life.
I went ahead and installed a retail version of OSX 10.4.3 and I am back up and running. I am going to stay a away from the latest OSX software updates for now to see how things play out.

Zeroing is not necessary in most cases. A bad node
can frequently be repaired by Alsoft Disk Warrior
(assuming your data is backed up). If your data
isn't backed up, a bad node can often be read through
by Prosoft Data Rescue.
If I didn't catch you in time to stop your zeroing,
if installing the operating system you have
difficulty with zeroing, then perhaps the drive has
failed or its connector has failed. Be sure when you
go to install to only install the operating system
that came with the computer or a newer retail
operating system.

Help! Mac OSX 10.4.8 install froze my G4

I tried to install Mac OSX 10.4.8 on my G4. I put the install disc in as instructed and restarted the computer. The Apple logo comes up, then a gray screen with the following message:
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for
several seconds or press the Restart button."
I've tried restarting the computer three times, and each time it just
comes back to the same screen and message. No clicking of mouse or
anything else has any effect on this screen. It's frozen with this
message and no other function of the computer works now. No desktop,
etc.
Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it? I'd also like to
eject the Mac OS installation disk, but pressing the eject key does
nothing.
Thanks. Below is rest of screen message.

Symantec AntiVirus LiveUpdate hangs my mac mini intel

Hello. I have an intel mac mini running mac osx 10.4.6 I
installed norton antivirus corporate edition (site-licensed
at my university) and all worked well.
That is, it did until I installed the firmware update on
the mini. Since then, when I try to run live update, the
system hangs, and all I can do is move the cursor around
the screen with the mouse. Can't click on anything, can't
break out with the keyboard, nothing. Need to reboot.
I can't find any information on this on the symantec site.
crDo you guys know anything about it?
Based on another thread I read here, I looked at crontab
(crontab -l), and it said "no crontab".
Thanks very much
Mac Mini duo intel Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I don't know what is causing your issues, but in the meantime you can get the latest virus definitions from sites such as MacUpdate (just type "norton" in the search field).
FYI definitions for Norton Antivirus X 9 will also work with Norton AV X 10.
BTW there have been two firmware updates for Intel-based Mac minis (Firmware Update 1.0.1 and SMC Firmware Update). Which one did you install before the issue came up ?

Adobe Reader will not print to Epson WF-2540 in Mac OSX 10.8.3

I have previously used Adobe Reader to print in both wired and wireless capacity to my Epson WF-2540 printer on my Mac OSX. My current version is Mac OSX 10.8.3. Recently (and it may have been following an update to my OS, I don't know for sure) the printing process hangs on "Looking for Printer." No error message is given, but the printing never commences. All other programs (e.g., Preview, Firefox, Safari) print normally to the printer. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Hi,
Have you tried installing the drivers below?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not too familier with Fuji Xerox products but I assume this is the same model?

For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just not) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6). Other sites are fine. I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down. Suggestions?

For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just doesn't) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6). Other sites are fine. I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down. Suggestions?

I don't use Facebook, but I can say that clearing the cache every time you shut down is excessive - unless you're sure the cache is corrupt you should leave it alone. It exists to speed up your browsing experience by loading frequently requested items from your drive rather than downloading them fresh from the internet each time. So, I would say stop clearing your cache and see what happens.
As for clearing cookies: I'm not sure what method you currently use, but I would recommend you download and install CCleaner. It's free, and allows you to build up a list of cookies that you want to clear and those you want to keep, before deleting them.
Both of these may help speed things up by reducing the amount of work Safari has to perform whilst browsing. Regardless, I'd say that, unless there's a reason you've not mentioned for performing the "purging" that you do, making these two changes should see improvements in general web browsing if not specifically when loading Facebook.
