Freeze on Restore

I have both a PPC iMac and an Intel MBP backing up to the same Airport Disk with Time Machine. Each backup proceeds (apparently) without problems. I can restore straightforwardly from my MBP, HOWEVER when I try to restore from the iMac the entire computer freezes. The only way I can get back out is through a hard reset with the power button.
I had no problems with 10.5.2. Should I revert to the older revision, or wait to see if 10.6 will resolve this problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer                            
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT203477 My FCP 10.1 is freezing at  "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in applications support... What do I do ???

    My FCP 10.1 is freezing at  "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in library/applications support/ final cut pro... What do I do ???

    Had the same issues. For me, I found unmounting any external drives and relaunching FCPX worked.
    Mavericks seems to have some issues with launching Final Cut, so its best to launch and then plug in any external drives - hope that helps.

  • IPod freezes, after restore stops syncing halfway through

    I have a 2-year old 20gb iPod that has worked fantastically for the last 2 years. About 2 weeks ago, its started freezing up at random times. I couldn't shut it off, skip songs, etc. I just had to wait 5 minutes or so for it to come back. I restored it on iTunes the other night, but during my reload of songs, it stopped halfway through. So, my iPod only has about 9gb on it. If I try to keep syncing it up, it eventually gives me an "unknown error occured" message and deletes everything on my iPod.
    I NEED HELP!

    -Try resetting the iPod and try again.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next I would try restoring from backup
    It is expected that when you connect an iPod that was synced to another computer/iTunes ibray, the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with that in the iTunes library of the new computer. An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library.

  • Iphone freezes on restore

    I'm trying to restore my iphone and it keeps freezing during the restore process at around 60%. I get the apple logo and then the progress bar stops a little over half way. The progress bar in itunes freezes at around 99%.
    Can anyone help me get this fixed? Is there a way to erase the iphone and start from scratch?
    Cheers,

    Disable all security apps (firewall, antivirus/spyware, etc.) running on your Mac.

  • IPhone freeze after restore

    I restore the iphone 2 days ago, and the itune try to download the 1.02 iphone firmware for restore, but it kept download ... showing like 110mb/97mb. ( suppose it will stop at 97mb, 100%).
    So i turn to use another computer which had the firmware downloaded before, and after the restore of iphone, the iphone screen was freeze, i only can see the Earth, Slide for emergency....but i cannot slide the bar, and i cannot do anythings.
    Anyone have this experience ? i try to restore a few times, but still freeze.

    Try resetting the iphone. Press and hold the "off" button on top and the menu button on the front at the same time. Then turn the phone back on again using only the top button as usual. That may unfreeze it.

  • HT201210 iPhone freezing during restore.....

    My iPhone 4 keeps freezing about 60% way through a restore, according to iTunes when the firmware is being updated. Any ideas how to fix? I have tried a different computer, disabling my security software etc. and still no luck :o( (Windows)

    I was doing exactly what you suggested for hours prior to posting my question. I tried restoring, I tried restore/update over and over and it would always freeze between 25-75% through. I restarted my laptop 20 times, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times. Finally, today I was so frustrated that when I saw it freeze up one more time, I just pulled the power cord out of my laptop and walked away. An hour later I booted back up and set it to restore before I left the room and ....magic, it finally worked. Whether the unplug event had any real connection, I don't know.
    If anyone does freeze during an update and has the "connect to itunes screen with the red itunes logo" stuck on their iphone screen, modular 747 is correct. Just keep trying the restore/update through itunes, but be prepared to do it non-stop for almost 72 hours like I did.

  • Iphone freezes during restore - should I re-install itunes?

    I downloaded iTunes to a new computer today. I synced my iphone and then tried to update the software. Each time I go through this process however, it freezes at the same spot. I'm trying to restore my phone and I can't complete the process. If I delete iTunes and re-install it, will I lose all of the information that was synced? My last computer died and I'm unable to get old sync information off of that. I have no back-up calendar or contacts. Any suggestions?
    I have been working on this for 3 hours now and I use my phone as my alarm clock and I am laughing at how I'm going to figure out how to get up tomorrow. Can someone call me? No. Phone won't turn on past the plug into iTunes logo. Maybe I should have just kept a landline, datebook and alarm clock. Please help!

    Arafatsapey, dead wrong. The current iTunes for for windows is compatible with:
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

    Yudna, I would install the latest iTunes if not already installed

  • IPod Touch freezing during restore

    I have a 16GB iPod Touch 2nd generation and I am trying to install OS 4.0 and it's been an absolute nightmare. I downloaded the new software (which took quite a while since it kept giving me an error which made me restart the download like 4 times).
    So now I'm in the process of actually INSTALLING that software. When I plug my iPod Touch into iTunes it says it sees the iPod is in recovery mode and asks me to restore my ipod (the only option it is allowing me to access is the "Restore" button, so all the "Update" errors are out of the question here).
    When I "restore" my iPod however, the process get's about 1/4 of the way through before it freezes and the progress indicator on my iPod AND the progress indicator in iTunes stays at the same place and doesn't move. Even after letting it sit ALL night last night (about 8 hours) it STILL hadn't moved when I woke up this morning.
    Any suggestions on how I could fix this?

    I may have a solution...
    I phoned Apple Support this evening around 7pm and they were really helpful. My ipod is at least back on - albeit with everything wiped - but it's currently resyncing.
    They walked me through these steps:
    1. Quit iTunes (Force Quit if you have to)
    2. Disconnect the ipod from your computer
    3. Create a new user account (I named mine Dummy)
    4. Log out and log in to the new User account
    5. Press and hold the power button on the iPod to turn the thing off - if it doesn't go off, then press the home button briefly as well so that it does.
    6. Open iTunes
    7. reconnect the iPod to your computer and once the usb cable is inserted fully, press the home button on the ipod to switch it on
    8. iTunes should detect the iPod and offer to restore it. Accept the restore option.
    9. iTunes will download the software (took about 10 minutes for me - 315Gb) and then you need to follow the instructions and accept the software license agreement.
    10. In iTunes, you should see the "restoring iPod Software", "verifying iPod software", etc and once done your iPod should run good as new.
    Safely disconnect the iPod (make sure you eject it first), log out of the dummy account and back into your regular one. Open iTunes, reconnect your iPod and iTunes should start to restore the iPod from the backup made earlier.
    Be patient with that last one if you've got a lot of data backed up!
    I really hope this helps others - my backup restoration still hasn't finished yet, but it's looking promising. I performed all this on a MacBook Pro, but from the way the support lady kept thinking I was running Windoze, I guess the same process will work in that OS too.
    Oh - and phoning Apple support didn't cost me a penny despite being well outside the 90 days... in fact, because I'd never called them before, they granted me a 45 day warranty and offered me the option of taking out an extended 12 months too (for £39). I haven't taken them up on that yet, but seriously thinking about it - seems cheaper than buying a new iPod...
    Peace

  • Elements 10 freezes on restoring backup

    I have been trying to restore an older backup from pse 8 with pse 10 and it freezes. I want to restore the pictures to a new location on the hd so I can restore some photos that deleted from a crash, but the backup restore freezes as soon as I ask it to run.
    Help Please!!!

    When PSE 10 came out, there was a free account at photoshop.com, but adobe has since shut that down and replaced it with revel. PSE 10 doesn't know anything about that, though, so it will keep looking for the old server if you try to sign in. Best thing is just not to use the welcome screen at all. Go into applications and make dock icons for the editor and/or organizer from there and start them directly.
    The editor is not the file you think it is. It's hidden inside the Support Files folder in the PSE 10 folder. You want this file:

  • IPhone 4 freezes while restoring every time

    I tried to get the new software update for my iphone 4 and my pc froze while installing it, which forced me to restore the phone. however, every time i try to restore it, it gets about 1/3 of the way through and the little progress bar always freezes. any tips? i've tried restarting the computer and disabling the firewall to no avail.

    What equipment?
    If you by use the equipment mean the phone itself then its likely a hardware defect which require repair

  • Freeze when restoring Mail from Time Machine backup

    I had to have the logic board and solid state drive replaced on my Retina MabookPro and before I dropped it off at the Genius Bar I did a full Time Machine backup to an external drive.    I have my fixed Mac back, and restored from that backup, but when I try and start Mail it says "Mail needs to import your messages" and then begins the progress bar for importing my messages.   The problem is that it always freezes somewhere during the import, and now I am afraid I have lost all of my old mail.
    First off, why does it need to re-import?   Why can't it just work off the orignal Mail database backed up via Time Machine?   And secondly, is there an advanced rebuild or other option that can hopefully recover my mail database?    Anything else to try?
    -Lewis

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Itunes 7 Freezes when Restoring Shuffle

    I have a 1st generation shuffle and it became corrupted, so I attempted to restore it in Itunes 7 but it never finishes. I've left it restoring for up to 2 hours and the bar just keeps going and never finishes. I tried formatting it in Windows Explorer and then restoring it, but that doesn't work either it just keeps restoring never finishing. I tried the install disk that came with the iPod and when I run it it craashes at the end asking if I want to send an error report. Has anyone had this problem?
    Ipod Shuffle 1st generation   Windows XP  

    Yeah when I plug mine in to update it automatically, iTunes freezes, but if I update it manually it works fine. I had the same problem with the storage with my old iPod, it would always say that it was full and that I couldn't put more music on. I just restored my iPod and it was fine.
