  • When I use Firefox and Hotmail at startup, Firefox freezes for about 1 minute, and then I can continue. First I though it was my computer but 2 other girls in my class have the same problem with Hotmail and Firefox. What can I do to change this?

    When I start Firefox, about 15 seconds after I start it, my Firefox freezes for about 1 minute. I found out that it is my Hotmail that makes Firefox freeze.
    First I thought it was my computer, but I have 2 other girls in my class that use Hotmail and Firefox and their computer also freezes for 1 full minute.
    This is very annoying, what can I do to change this?

  • I have purchased a eos 6d. When I use it with the iPhone app the connection dies after about five m

    I have a 6d and when I use it with the iPhone app the camera turns off after about five minutes and the connection is lost. So when I am photographing wild life I keep having to break cover to reactivate the connection. Is this correct or is there a way to keep the connection alive.

    You just need to go into the menu and set the camera's sleep mode to "off" or "never". It sounds as if it's currently set to 5 minutes.
    Letting the camera sit active continuously, i.e. preventing it from going into sleep mode, will drain the battery(ies) a lot faster. I don't have a 6D, nor do I leave them on full time (in fact I set sleep mode to a very short duration, since tapping any button on the camera quickly re-awakens it).... so I really don't know how quickly a battery will drain. But you might be prepared with spares. If battery life is too short for you purposes, you could add a battery grip which will double the battery capacity.

  • My imac 17' core duo 1.8ghz a1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running

    My imac 17" core duo 1.8ghz A1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running. I re-start the imac about a half a dozen times and it stays running and will re-start from the sleep mode and will continue to operate properly until I put it in sleep mode or it goes to sleep mode. If I turn it off, I must go through the same hassle. Advise/suggestions. Thanks.

  • When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Using my ipod nano -when listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel [SOLVED]

    As the title says: Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel (2.6.27). I can only move a mouse, but everything else is frozen. Even restarting X doesn't do a trick. It doesn't work at all. Frozen.
    I don't get any kind of error message (oh really?), so what's the problem..?

    Yeah... I'm using nvidia... So the problem is nvidia drivers, not the Linux kernel?
    Edit: My card is nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra. I can't get driver information now, because I'm using WinXP right now. I'll check it later.
    Did you make a new install or just updated?
    You can try to reinstall old kernel with:
    pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel(version you want).pkg.tar.gz
    if you made a new install you may have to install the xorg keyboard driver and so.
    By the way, there are a few diferent packages for nvidia drivers. Check wich is yours.
    Also check /var/log/ folder for errors.
    Updated kernel.
    And as I said, I'll check the driver later.

  • Firefox freezes after 2 seconds, sometimes 3 after opening.

    Well i was going to report it privatly via feedback, but i have to be using firefox to do that. If i could use firefox i wouldnt be here would i num nuts. But anyway, firefox freezes after i open it. Maybe 2 or 3 seconds after opeing the program. So if im quick on the tabs i can get awindow open and start a page loading before it freezes but thats it. Its unusable. I have restarted et al, but to no noticable benefit.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • MMacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) switches on but internal display remains off/black .There is no start-up sound and the fan starts off normal but after about Five minutes begins to run even faster

    Hi ,
    My MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) switches on but internal display remains off/black .There is no start-up sound and the fan starts off normal but after about Five minutes begins to run even faster as if the machine is running a heavy load.It displayed a question mark some time back then a friend borrwed it ,he flashed the system and put windows 7.Then a few days pasted and now it wont display as stated.I have tried to Reset SMC and the Command + P + R + Power but still no response.Please assist?
    Regrads Josh

    I think your "friend" caused a problem (or two).
    I do not know what "flashed the system" means......
    Based on what was done, I would probably erase the HD and restore the system from a backup before the software changes were made.

  • Firefox freezes after I add a bookmark

    After I add a bookmark Firefox freezes. It starts as soon as the save bookmarks dialogue box appears so I can't choose where to save the bookmark but after the freeze ends (about 20-30 seconds) the bookmark has been saved.
    I also have another problem that might be related. After I delete a bookmark it takes a while for the bookmarks sidebar to update so when I click on a bookmark I am selecting either the previous or following bookmark, depending on where the dleted bookmark was.

    OK, I understand now. Just go to Firefox preferences and turn off Hardware Acceleration.
    It was OK in safe mode but when I restarted Firefox was frozen so I had to force quit, restart in Safe Mode and turn Hardware Acceleration back on.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • ITunes freezing after about 5 minutes on one account, works on other accounts

    background info: I have a 2008 black Intel Macbook 2.4 GHz with 2GB RAM.
    the problem that I'm having is when I run iTunes , after about 5 minutes even if I'm not downloading or playing music, the program starts to slow down and I get the rainbow beach ball on my screen. If I'm playing music, it starts and then stops, starts, and stops. Other programs respond for about a minute, and then nothing responds, no force quit, no nothing. The only way to get my computer back is to hard restart.
    **I have a feeling that gapless playback has something to do with it, the problem started when I added an album collection of around 800 songs at once, and I did notice that it starts going through the gapless playback analysis or whatever and then freezes.
    I've tried reinstalling iTunes etc. and searching forums and websites, but all problems that sound similar are from years ago and different iTunes versions. The iTunes is the version before 10.4, I'm not sure if its 10.3 or 10.2, since I'm afraid to open it and have my computer crash again.
    One annoying fix I did was when I need to have music I made a separate account on my mac that runs iTunes fine with no problems. I had this problem in Snow Leopard, and just upgraded to Lion hoping it would fix itself, but it still has the same problem.
    If anybody has help or has a similar problem please let me know.

    Scanning from other than admin account has always been a problem for me. The only solution that I found out working is using the Vuescan software. It has something to do with that the scanning software trying to access some part of OS X that is locked to others but not for the owner (admin).
    To give the other accounts admin access doesn't help.

  • IChat 4.0 on leopard freezes after about 5 seconds

    I have a 24'' iMac and my wife has a 13'' macbook. We both have the most updated version of leopard on our computers. The problem is that whenever we try to do a video chat with each other, my video freezes up after about 5 seconds, and hers keeps going. We both have set our bandwidth limit to none in ichat and the streaming speed in System prefs> Quicktime to 1.5 Mbps. Anyone know what else could cause this? Thanks

    A "Crash" of an application is a Specific thing where you get an Error message saying it "Unexpectantly Quit" and a Log in the relevant Crash Error logs in Console. The marker underneath the app in the DOCK would also disappear.
    An App that Freezes or part of the display of it Freezes would not normally be considered as to have Crashed.
    Having said that I have had a repeatable issue where a Tester with me could definitely Crash my iChat. Sure enough each time he tried to call my iChat Unexpectantly Quit.
    It turned out it was a faulty router at his end.
    The Video freezing is normally a Bandwidth Issue (the 363k is fast enough tht this should not happen based on those speeds or the ones you tested)
    It can be down to how busy the Processor is with on-line Widgets like Weather and Clock and others. or Background apps and Utilities
    The way to see those is to open the Activity Monitor.

  • PB 15" 1.33 freezes after about an hour

    Here's some brief history:
    Just got my PB back from the shop today, after sending it in for a new logic board (VRAM error - posted about this one last week).
    Set it up, everything worked fine -- for about an hour or so, then a complete freeze. I even had Internet radio streaming that sounded like a scratched CD or a broken record. About a minute or so after the freeze, I then got a loud fan-like noise that sounded like it was coming from the back left corner of my keyboard.
    Did a hard shut-down (held down power button), waited about 2 minutes, then rebooted. Started up OK, ran well, then repeated problem about 12 minutes later. Wash, rinse, repeat: shut down, wait 2 mins, reboot, and this time it froze after about 4 minutes.
    My suspicion is a problem in reassembly, possibly the techs did not properly apply the heat paste, and now the CPU is overheating and locking up.
    I'm going to take it back to the shop tomorrow, but wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions for things I can check.
    Thanks!

    Okay, the temps seem to be running normally - indeed, the fan kicked on (a bit noisily, with a buzzing that was not there before sending it in to the shop), at around 142-145 F.
    This time, my PB operated just fine for several hours, no problems. Processor temp never got above 147 F. So perhaps it is not the CPU overheating.
    There are a few differences in how I had the PB running this time, however:
    - When it froze up yesterday, I had an additional monitor plugged in (I work best with two screens for all my apps and documents), as well as an external hard drive connected via firewire (that sits idle most of the time except for scheduled backups).
    - Last night (and today, as I write this, in fact), I am running the PB without any externals - no extra monitor, no external HD.
    I ran a hardware check (AHT) and it showed no hardware problems.
    I tried running some graphics-intense games while also having several processor-hogging applications, to see what would happen to the core temps, but again never got above 147F and no shutdown problems.
    So my noob-sleuth techniques lead me to believe it has something to do with the extra video connection. I am going to try connecting the second monitor later today (currently using it with my standby PowerPC), and I'll report back with any new developments.
    In the meantime, I'd love to hear any suggestions or ideas that come up from what new info (if any) I was able to provide.
    And thanks for the help so far - at least I feel like I'm making some kind of progress!

  • Yosemite freezes after about 30 Seconds inactivity

    Dear Apple Community,
    I really love the new Yosemite look and features, but there is one really annoying thing, that I can not seem to solve.
    Yosemite becomes irresponsive after about 30-60 Seconds inactivity. I can still move the mouse, but no keys, clicking or hovering works. This state lasts for about 10 seconds after clicking or typing, and then it returns to normal. When I press buttons "CMD-Option-Escape" the freeze ends a little faster. This is driving me crazy, since reading for example a website for 30 seconds always leads to the freeze, working efficiently is not possible like this.
    My Macbook Model:
    • MacBook Pro (Retina, Mitte 2012)
    • 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    • 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Does anyone experience the same issue? Has anyone any suggestions what could cause the problem? I  thought maybe there is some kind of energy-saving process going on?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 installed on?
    Before export, how does the Timeline play back in the Edit area monitor (video and audio)?
    What is your export - mp4, .mov, wmv, flv, .avi etc....? Have you tried other players, like the VLC player?
    But, let us start at the beginning....
    What are the properties of your source media? What is the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the source?
    How are you getting that source into the Premiere Elements project and what are you or the program setting as the project preset. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if they look grayed out).
    The project preset description should match the properties of your source.
    Now for the export...what are you selecting under Publish+Share/assumed Computer/. And what are you setting as the preset for your choice? Are you using the default settings for the preset or are you customizing them under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
    Please supply more details. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thanks.

  • After Replacing Hard Drive, iMac Freezes after about 40 Minutes.

    I have a flat panel 15" iMac which had a bad hard drive. I replaced it with a 250 gig Seagate ATA drive. I used the Disck utility to format it and the computer recognized the correct size of the Drive. After installing OS 10.4.7 on the drive I found that the computer locks-up or frezzes after about 45 minute. I have run apple diagnoxtics and the computer hardware and ram checks out fine. I found that the computer does not lock up if I runit form an external firewire drive with os 10.x and it did not lock-up when I booted form the OS 9 Hardware test cd. I then thought that maybe I had loaded the OS x poorly on th e new drive so I reloaded the OS. The system agin freezes agter the system is on for about 30 + minutes.
    Do I need a special drive or size for the G4 flat panel iMac? Is there a setting on the Segate Drive I need to set.
    Any Thoughts\
    Jim

    Hello,
    There should be a Master / Slave setting on the drive. If it shares the same "channel" with your CD-ROM drive, then you may need to set the Hard Drive as Master.
    Check your original drive, and see what it was set to. There is a Master, Slave, and Factory setting.
    Look at the label on the drive, and compare that to the jumpers (little caps) on the back of the drive by the data cable connector.
    Set your new drive to match the same setting your original drive was set to.
    If that doesn't work, try your new drive in the external drive enclosure. See if it works right there.
    If it still doesn't work right, then perhaps you got a drive with a defect.
    If it works fine in the external case, and you have verified that your settings are right when used internally, then you may have damage in the iMac's logic board or hard drive controller somewhere.
    But, take a look at the Jumper Settings, and try it in the external enclosure as well. See if either of those fixes it.
    Hopefully you just got the jumper settings wrong.
    I hope this helps.
