Firfox 4 freezes for 1-2 minutes when loading sites with twitter or other social media content like MSNBC and other news sites.

Firefox locks up for a minute or two when loading pages on popular news websites like MSNBC,COM. When this happens the bottom status typically ready something about a link to twitter.
I do not use twitter and it is likely the company firewall blocks it if it uses any non-typical port.
I had to download the old version of the browser due to this problem.

Has anyone gotten back to you on this? I am experiencing the same problem on two different systems since release 4.1.2_03 and now have tried _05 with no luck.

ITunes 5.1 can't find track names - also extremely slow (freezes for a few minutes when inserting new CD

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.6 for Windows 7, it can't find any track names (or artwork). First, when you insert an audio CD, iTunes freezes ("not responding") for a few minutes, then it queries the Gracenote Media database, and a while later, the track numbers "Track 1", etc. are displayed and a message saying the track names can't be found do I want to continue to import the tracks. I tried reinstalling the previous version which worked fine, but it won't run saying the Library ID was created by a later version of iTunes.... I also can't access the iTunes Store from itunes on my laptop.

I have the same problem, any answears???

Premiere Pro CS5 won't Render. Freezes for 1-2 minutes when I try to edit the timeline.. Help!

Hi Guys
I'm new to this, but in desperate need of help. Thought i'd give it a shot and let you know what my problem is!
Basically i'm editing a dance concert which is approx 2 hours long. I'm running a late 2011 model iMac w/ i7 Quadcore and 16GB of RAM.
Using Sony XDCAM EX 1080p footage (2 cameras). Everything was going so well until I rendered (not export) the footage overnight. It only rendered less than half of the footage and won't allow me to render anymore. Doesn't even show the details of the amount of frames.. estimated time etc.
Heres a screen shot -
I checked my hard drive space and there's 150 GB left so there's more than enough for it render.
Another problem is that any editing i do to the timeline whether it's trimming, moving, copying etc. It just lags / freezes for about 1-2 minutes (has the loading Icon) then goes back to normal.
Before I did the rendering last night, everything was fine. I was able to edit very smoothly without any lag or freezing. First time i've encountered this. I did the same production last year using the same cameras, file format and software version and it was fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Remove the gaps in your timeline or fill the gaps with black clips and try again.

Firefox freezes for around 10 seconds when loading a video on YouTube

So everytime I'm loading a video on YouTube, it takes a very long time to load (10-15 seconds) and while the video is loading Firefox becomes completely unresponsive. I can't do anything until the video is loaded, and when it takes such a long it becomes annoying.
I have the newest versions of both Firefox and Flash Player.

Does this happen with other browsers as well? If no, maybe an extension is interfering. Here is how you can disable them to test that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20add-ons#w_how-to-disable-extensions0-personassf-and-plugins

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?

p.s. I am from the Netherlands, maybe that has something to do with it?

When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and try to resume working, my computer seems to freeze up and the little pinwheel starts spinning and I literally have to unplug my computer to get it out of this frozen state.

When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and resume working, my computer freezes up and the little pinwheel starts spinning. I literally have to unplug it to get out of this frozen state. This has been getting progressively worse over the past three months. I recently took it into the Genius Bar and they could not find anything wrong. They told me to add more memory, which I did. However, the problem persists. Do you know why my computer would freeze up after the screen has had no activity for just a few minutes? My screen saver is set for an hour so I know this is not the problem.

What kind of documents? Office? iWork? Text Edit? What version?
What settings do you have in regards to power saver and/or screen saver?
For these kinds of system glitches I always recommend installing and running Onyx 'Automation'. If that does not work you should reinstall the offending software, if possible.

How do I combat this problem? Many thanks in advance.

New MacBook Pro with 10.6.3 Freezes for 5-10 minutes every few days

I've got a brand new (i7 processor) MacBook Pro with 10.6.3 OS on it. Right from the first day I had it, it has had a problem freezing for 5 - 10 minutes every few days. When it is "frozen" nothing works - cursor doesn't track the mouse, clock doesn't increment to a new minute, nothing updates on the screen.
I turned on remote login, so I can ssh to it and see what's going on, and by running "top -o cpu" I can see that the kernel_task process is using over 100% of the CPU - other processes are getting some cycles - top, for instance - but the kernel is dominating the dispatch queue.
When this first happened, I thought the computer was dead, so I powered off and rebooted. However, once I could see that things were still running but the display was locked up, I tried waiting. Sure enough, every time the system comes back if I wait long enough. When it comes back, everything operates just fine.
Any thoughts on what I can do about this? I don't imagine that killing the kernel_task is a good idea(!). Maybe sending it an appropriate signal? I'm happy to get some more diagnostic information - just give me suggestions on what I can try. Note that it will have to be command line only, as I can only ssh into the laptop when it gets frozen like this.
Thanks.

Interesting - but that poster is complaining about the mouse and keyboard being unresponsive or going dead, not the comprehensive freeze I'm experiencing (unless "go haywire" means freezing). Not only are my mouse and keyboard unresponsive, but windows on the screen stop updating - even the clock in the upper right corner stops advancing.
For the record, I'm using the keyboard in the MBP - not much choice there - and a Razer bluetooth mouse that had no problems with my last MBP.
Still, they could be related. Something is making the kernel get very busy for a long time before it recovers. I just wish I knew what that was AND how it eventually recovers - perhaps I can accelerate the recovery if I knew the cause.
Anybody else experiencing the same thing? Note - I don't get a beachball and there is no cursor flashing (unlike the other thread on freezing). It looks like the system is completely hung, except that I can still ssh into the MBP and run things like top; overall, the CPU is over 70% idle.

Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really.

Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really. It has been doing this ever since I downloaded the latest update (7.0.1). It is really frustrating. Can you please help?

You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%, and now it won't turn on.

My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%. Over time the battery dropped, but it went from 18, to 9, 3, then 1, and every time I put it on the charger it doesn't actually charge. Now my phone is off and it will not turn on.

I'd suggest taking it to apple. Warranty or no warranty.

I have totally "uninstalled" what I had and then reinstalled the newest
version of itunes. Still......
First, when I click on the itunes icon to load it takes the program anywhere
from two to three minutes to load. None of my other programs take this
long.
When in the itunes program I can be moving around in my library and itunes
when choosing a song or songs, choosing file, edit, etc,. whatever command I
choose it just suddenly stops. I can issue five commands and watch each one
respond in 30 second to two minute intervals. I can issue several commands,
even shutting down, and it will do all but takes several minutes to do so.
My itunes program was working fine when this problem suddenly arose.
Terry

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
