Freeze when update 10.6.3 to 10.6.6, .7 or .8

Hello,
I have buy a used Macbook Pro 13,3 (mid 2010) without install DVD, no memory & power ac and KO SATA cable.
I have bought the 60w magsafe, install 4Gb of DDR3 1333Mhz, get bak a bootable retail 10.6.3 usb key and a new sata cable. Now it work perfectly, very speed (7200 tr HDD) the internal HDD was detected, i have installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 my key, and i can use it, no problem like freeze, crash, etc...
But if i try to update with a newer version, install are ok (successfull install and ask to reboot), when the mac reboot, it freeze on the apple screen after 5 or 6 waiting loop... I have to reinstall 10.6.3...
I tried to:
- repair (with the bootable key) drive or repair persmissions : same.
- boot without extention : same.
- try to download the combo update in dmg, the 10.6.6, .7 or .8: same.
- reset SMC : same.
- verify latest EFI: ok (il have the BOB version, there is a BOE version but it's for 10.7.2)
- format HDD, GUID and write 0 : same.
- change hard drive : same.
I have no other idea, please help
My Macbook details:
.Macbook Pro 13 mid 2010

  • Mail freezes when updating large RSS feed boxes

    This is something I encountered and how I have formulated a work around. I have discovered that Mail will freeze when updating large RSS feed boxes.
    A little history. After discovery RSS and how they work, I began building a collection of feeds. They included feeds from many major news providers. Over the years, the number articles form some of these sources went into the thousands.
    As my database of articles grew, I encountered more severe and more frequent freezes of the application Mail. I began to take the computer off-line in order to work in these files. But inevitably, a situation would arise that would lead to the Mail application freezing.
    Isolation of the issue with Mail and to the RSS boxes within Mail. The freeze would not occur when RSS feeds boxes where collapsed. Also, the freeze only affected the Mail application. Mac OS was not affected and I was able to alway close Mail from with in the Force Quit menu. Also, the Force Quit menu affirmed that Mail was indeed frozen by listing it as also "not responding."
    Work around. To resolve this issue, I first choose to remove the number of RSS feed that I had subscribed to but used very infrequently. Second, I choose to delete old feeds from "never" to "every two weeks" from within the Mail preference menu (RSS sub-menu).
    I think it took a while for Mail to fully delete messages older than two weeks. In fact, when I began deleting whole feeds, it took some time for those feeds to be removed from my mail box tree. Within the Activity Monitor application, I could see that a lot of disk use was occurring, even though the OS was allowing me to continue to use Mail and other applications.
    To assist this process, I took my computer off-line and stepped away from it. Upon my return, the disk use was down to normal, the number of article in many RSS boxes where greatly reduced, and my disk had recovered over a GB of space. Also, Mail seems to be behaving properly, with smooth and quick performance.
    If you found this article, I hope the information provided has been helpful! After a quick search in to previous posts, an entirely similar post was not found. However, others are finding the Mail application will freeze, but not necessary for the same reason.

    Since I don't want to download any attachments from RSS feeds in Mail.app, is there any way to turn off the attachment download once and for all? I also get the beach ball for minutes when an item has a big attachment, and I fear my HD is cluttered with files I don't use.

  • Itouch freezes when updating apps

    Why does my itouch freeze up when updating apps? How do I fix this?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings.iTunes and App store and sign out and sing back in
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • ITunes apps freeze when updating

    Within the last week or so there is an issue with various apps on iTunes where I try to download the updates on my home computer, but just as it gets to "processing file" it freezes. Then I cannot even quit the iTunes program - I have to Force Quit to get out. Any suggestions?

    Go to folder "downloads" in iTunes music folder which is the temporary downloads folder for Tunes itself.
    If there is any item within (as a leftover from a former download), delete it.
    Delay gone.

    1. Quit iTunes (if not possible, then force-quit)
    2. Delete every folder under here...
         ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads (Note: The "~" character, tilde, refers to your Home folder.)
    3. Start iTunes and start your downloads again.

    The correct file path for OSX Mavericks is:
    ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads/
    In my particular case it happens when updating Apps, and stick in "processing files" steps. Once stuck it needs to be Force QUit to clear it. As to the folder location, that depends on where you havelocated your iTunes data. Your preferences set to open up the iTunes folder. In my case that's, ~/Music/iTunes_xxxxxx/iTunes Media/Downloads
    The "xxxxxx"'s are a date code of the itunes data files installation.
    Regardless where it is located, this deleting of the items in the folder may solve it. Be aware that you may be asked to validate your Apple ID again and verify any age restriceted content. You can monitor the progress of the downloads by click in the little box on the top right of the itunes menu. However in my case it did NOT fix the problem. Updates downloads continue to hang. You can see where downloads create the .tmp files/folders but seem to stick on many items while completing others. No rhyme or reason to it that I can see.
    Also Pause All no longer works!

  • Why does my computer freeze when updateing if i have enough disk space and no disk repairs are needed?

    I have problems updating my softwarebecause my computer freezes when it restarts to install. I have enough disk space and I checked for disk repairs and everthing is ok. Still can't update and not my cumputer is taking longer to turn on. There is an earth blinking then i get the apple logo blinking before it turns on and this takes close to 5 minutes.

    When you say, "disk repairs" are you referiring to permissions or verifying the disk because clearly there's a problem.
    Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utilty to "verify" and if necessary repair the startup disk. (Not Verify Disk Permissions).

  • InDesign keeps freezing when updating a paragraph style, a color swatch or moving pages

    I am experiencing a very serious blocking bug. Somehow, when I update certain text styles and click Preview or Update Style Definition, the program goes to 100% CPU (single thread) and never recovers. The same happens when moving certain spreads in the document or updating a color swatch. I suspect a bad font, but I can't change the fonts, because the program freezes when I redefine styles. When I change the color or font manually in the workspace of the document, everything works. Any ideas, Adobe?
    I have tried deleting the SavedData and Preferences, it doesn't have an effect.
    I am using InDesign CC 2014 on Windows 7. I have never experienced such behavior from InDesign before. (I've got a lot of experience with the program since Version CS1)

    I've done what you said. All fonts used are deleted. The problem is persisting. The fonts are from good sources, so I wouldn't expect that. This is specific to InDesign CC2014.

  • Itunes freezes when updating

    every time i try to update songs on my ipod, itunes freezes and i have to restart my computer. i tried reinstalling it, and it didn't help. and all the album artwork is wrong on my ipod. itunes 7.0 ***** really really bad.

    I have been having a similar issue with my iPod since December. Whenever I plug the iPod into my computer to update the songs, it freezes after 20, 30, 40 songs or so. But I think I've discovered the source of the problem, at least in my case, so I thought I'd share it in case it helped anyone else.
    I got an AirClick remote for the iPod for Christmas, which I use in the car. But for the sake of convenience, I've been leaving the receiver plugged in to the top of the iPod instead of removing it when I'm not using it. And ever since, it's been freezing when I update songs, but I never made the connection until yesterday. When I remove the AirClick receiver before docking the iPod to my computer, it updates as many songs as I would like (even thousands at a time) without freezing.
    So if you have any devices plugged in to the top of your iPod, even the headphone remote, I would recommend disconnecting them before connecting the iPod to your computer.
    Hope this helps somebody!

  • IPod freezing when updating music/copying files

    In the past few months I bought a new Mac Mini. When transferring files from my Mac at work and my roommate's PC at home, using the disk use option on my iPod, it would start to copy the files and stop part of the way through and freeze. There's no way to stop it once it freezes and I end up having to restart my computer. I have tried resetting the iPod to factory settings and reinstalling all my music. I'm using the latest iPod software and running iTunes 6.0.1. When it updates my songs, it does the same thing where it may get about 1000 songs in and then it locks up. When I restart the machine, it has to start from the beginning. The only way around this problem I found was to stop it every couple hundred songs and restart the update. It still freezes when using disk use if the files are big enough. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does it require servicing or is there something I should be doing?
    Thanks!!!

  • Airport extreme freezes when updating MAC access list on WiFi. What can I do ?

    Trying to add a new PC on the WiFi network, the control is via MAC addresses. I can enter the new MAC address, and description, but airport freezes when I try to update. The only way I can get back is unplug / replug airport, but then it is not updated with the new address.
    Macpro on 10.7
    Airport extreme 802.11n 1st gen (7.5.2 with airport utility 5.5.3)
    Thanks

    If you have not already done so, try temporarily connecting an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme. Then open AirPort Utility, make the changes you need and see if the AirPort Extreme will Update correctly. If it does, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    If still no luck, your next option is to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Exreme to clear out all the current settings and then reconfigure the device again.

  • Computer freeze when updating from OS 9.2 to 10.2

    Hi,
    I have a grey/blue ibook 366Mhz purchased the summer of 2000. I'm trying to update to OS 10.2. So far, I've updated from 9.06 to 9.2.1 to 9.2.2 (the required sequence), updated the firmware to 4.1.7, and installed third party RAM. I bought the install discs (10.2)from ebay. They are white colored and should work, according to the help files, although the seller did not send me the third "tools" disk.
    When I try to install 10.2, the computer freezes at startup. A grey screen with the apple logo appears, and then the screen freezes and splits.
    The point of this upgrade is to use our Verizon internet service, which requires OS X. If there's a way around that requirement, it would be just as good.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone. Thanks for any help you can offer,
    Andrew

    Andrew:
    You apparently have an Upgrade Version, which requires that you have the previous version installed on the HDD. What you need is the Full Retail Version. Check the picture of the disks posted by ali brown by clicking here However, instead of upgrading to Jaguar, since you have to purchase new install disks anyway, I suggest that you consider upgrading to Panther, which is a lot more powerful and stable OS. Your computer will easily support Panther if it meets that other the minimum system requirements for Panther.
    Panther is no longer available directly from Apple, but you can find the Full Retail Version of Panther, if you shop carefully, at online outlets like FastMac; HardcoreMac, AllMac etc. If you know what you are looking for, read all documentation carefully and ask questions of the seller, you may be able to get
    Panther on eBay.
    I will probably contact the ebay seller, since he gave the impression that he was selling the full retail version.
    I definitely think you should do so.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.
    Cheers

  • ITunes freeze when updating podcasts

    I am subscribed to 4 podcasts on my itunes client, however, when one of the four updates, it stops almost instantly and itunes freezes up. I have tried reinstalling/repairing itunes with no luck. Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem. It started when I was running out of disk space, so I removed a number of my subscriptions and their related podcasts. I now have about 5GBs free out of 40GB drive and 512 RAM on a Sony Vaio. I was going to attempt to eliminate one podcast at a time to see which one might be causing the problem, but I can't stop the automatic updates before it locks up. The reason it locks up I believe is that it ***** up every bit of memory and CPU time I have. It didn't do that when I had a lot more subscriptions, so I don't think that's the problem. The only extraneous thing I've done is load REAL player. Anyone know the name of the settings file that I could either delete or edit manually to stop it from autoupdates until I find the problem?

  • [Solved] Immediate freeze when updating E430 BIOS

    Hi all,
    I have a ThinkPad E430, running Windows 8.1. The current BIOS is very old (v1.07) and doesn't have any official Windows 8 suport, which I think might be causing me some problems. (Namely, USB 3.0 doesn't work.)
    However, whenever I try to update the BIOS, when winflash64.exe start the system immediatelly freezes. (No message is printed on the screen, the system freezes before the winflash command window has even finished fading in.) I waited for 30 minutes and then hard-rebooted the system. Nothing seemed to happened and it booted up normally with the old BIOS version still intact. I tired several times to no avail.
    Using the bootable CD version of the updater I get the same issue. The CD boots, I select the system upgrade option, and when I press Y to dismiss the confimration screen, the box disappear and the system is now frozen. However, in this case pressing ctrl-alt-del restarts it without requiring a power-cycle. Results are the same as in the windows version.
    I already tried disabling various settings in the BIOS and even removing one RAM module at a time and the problem persists.
    Does anyone have any clue what's going on? I wasn't able to find anyone with a similar problem.

    Good and bad news.
    The good news is that I managed to update the BIOS: I found some good soul on the internet mentioning that the BIOS update CD used hard disk emulation. So I looked inside the iso with a hex editor and searched for the 55AA MBR signature. After finding it, I deleted the ISO header that came before that sector and just wrote the resulting image onto a USB flash drive. Booting from that USB drive and updating the BIOS worked flawlessly.
    The bad news is that instead of fixing the USB 3 problem, it just got worse. Now, rather than USB 3.0 devices connecting to the USB 2 controller, the USB 3 port don't work at all! But this is a separate problem, so I'm marking this thread as resolved.

  • Freeze when update BIOS to 1.30 from 1.10

    Hi all!
    Recently changed my graphics card which introduced some graphic bugs when playing 3D games. In the process of updating all drivers I yesterday updated the BIOS for my P7N motherboard from 1.10 to 1.30. This first yielded "found new hardware. Detected 3 PCI memories (+ one controller I did not see the name of)".
    The next effect was that I no longer get graphic bugs when playing but INSTEAD get freezes every 10 minutes together with a single long beep. This only happens in game (so far).
     What the heck might have happened?
    Before I changed the graphics card I had run a stable system for 2 years or so.
    BTW I've already tried a new graphics card (identical) to lessen the chance of a faulty one. Drivers are updated.
    Temps are OK. GPU around 65 (crit temp 105 C). CPU around 40.
    My system (partial):
    OS: XP
    MB: MSI P7N platinum.
    GC: nVidia 250 GTS (1GB). (Demands 450 W)
    RAM: 3 GB.
    PSU: 500W.
    Thankful for suggestions

    No matter what, use only identical modules only.  Mixing different memory modules can cause sincere stability problems (especially when there is a density difference).  And yes:  A different BIOS Version can change the system's sensitivity towards certain memory configurations (especially the ones that are potentially problematic in the first place).
    You wrote that:
    Quote
    Romoving all but 1 pair of memory, the system was stable for 3h testing with intense gaming.
    So there were no freezes here.  The problems reappeared when you put in the other modules:
    Quote
    After 3h I tried putting all memories back in, but re-arranged in the DIMMs. That was stable for 1h.
    When you took them out you experienced freezes again.
    The BIOS can only use one set of settings for all memory modules.  As soon as you add different modules which may require different sub-settings (sub-timings usually), the system can only pick one set of settings.  What may work well for one set of modules may be problematic for the other set.  It could be that when you put the other modules back in after testing with identical sticks only (or when you changed the module configuration), the BIOS changed the settings to match the SPD Profiles of the added modules.  And it is also possible, that when you removed those modules again, the BIOS stuck to the newer settings and did not revert to the ones it used when you initially tested with one pair of identical modules.
    My suggestion is that you retest with a pair of identical sticks and leave the other modules out of the equation completely.  Clear CMOS with the main A/C power cable removed from your PSU and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS Setup after that.  This will force the system to reconfigure all BIOS Settings from scratch.
    Then retest.  If there are no more freezes, you have found the problem.
    In case the freezes still occur, we can go on from there.  However, as long as you are using different memory modules (with different chip density), there is no point in looking for causes elsewhere.  The potential stability problem that a mix of non-identical memory sticks includes, have to be kept out of the troubleshooting process completely.  If we take stability for granted regarding the memory configuration, we may start chasing ghosts here.

  • 3G IPod Freezes When Updating

    I've had a 20GB 3rd generation iPod for 3 years and I was very happy with it until the battery died. The iPod sat in a drawer for over a year until I had Apple replace the battery. When I got the iPod back I discovered a new problem. Whenever I dock the iPod my computer will either freeze the computer (mouse, keyboard and display all become non-responsive), System halt with a hardware malfunction, or automatic reboot.
    I'm trying to copy tracks to the iPod but cannot copy more that 100 at a time before I'm forced to restart the computer. I've done a little research on this problem and it appears to be fairly common. I've tried every suggestion that I've come across but nothing has resolved the problem. Here's a list of actions I've taken:
    1) The 5 R's
    2) Disabled anti-virus on computer
    3) Enabled disk mode
    4) Disbaled disk mode
    5) Updated iPod firmware
    6) Updated iTunes
    7) Run chkdsk on iPod (no problems)
    8) Run iPod diagnostics (iPod is healthy)
    9) Connected with firewire (iPod mounts)
    10) Connected with USB 2.0 (iPod mounts)
    11) Disabled and deleted all podcasts
    12) Connected the iPod to iTunes on a second computer (same exact issues resulted)
    13) Replaced the battery
    My computer is virus and spyware free and the iPod appears to be healthy. I'm assuming that the Apple techs that replaced the battery also performed a diagnostic on it. The iPod itself plays songs without freezing or resetting and has never given any indication of a problem.
    I'll replace or repair the iPod if it turns out to be broken in some way. I do not want to buy a new iPod though if it will not resolve the problem.

    I was just having this problem with my 3G. I acquired a USB & Firewire cable a while back and wasn't using it. After many failed attempts I decided to try this. I use the USB to transfer files and have the Firewire plugged into the AC adapter.
    I've done 2 successful tests this way, no failures yet. Before & after software restore. Firewire-only failures still exist after the software restore.
    Maybe having Firewire on AC and USB in comptuer will help you.
