Freezes up here and there?

I just reinstalled Mac OSX and even though it runs a lot more smoothly it does freeze up once in a while for simple opperations. Does anyone know why this might be and how I can resolve by a daily maintenance opperation or something? please let me know.
P.S. I already use a program called Onyx for maintenance and clean up.

  • My iPad 1st gen is freezing up here and there.

    I bought a new wifi 3G iPad 1st Gen back in December. for some reason lately whe nusing it it will freeze up for a few seconds whether it be swiping, opening up an app etc. Any advice on what to do or perhaps how to clear out things if that is the issue? Thanks in advance.

    Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
    There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.

    I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
    I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
    I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

    If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
    Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
    If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
    Let me know if that helped you.

  • How do I copy a few lines from a pdf document to a Word document?  I'm not looking to convert the whole document, just need to copy a few lines here and there.

    How do I copy a few lines from a pdf document to a Word document?
    I'm not looking to convert the whole document, just need to copy a few lines here and there.
    ps.  Wow, what a user UNFRIENDLY site this is!

    In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.

    Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
    No.
    If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
    Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • My Foxfire keeps freezing during use, and there are pop-ups that appear during each selection of an application

    What more do you need. Foxfire keeps freezing on my computer and it is sending pop-ups when any application is triggered.

    It sounds like you are having problems with pop-ups. Most are adds
    but a few give you false information claiming something is
    out of date, software needs to be installed, blaaa blaa, blaaa. Go to the
    '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]'''''

  • HT1583 When burning a DVD of photos and music from iDVD, the photos blur right before the transitions and the music has about 5 second glitches here and there before the music starts again. Is there any way to burn the DVD without this happening?

    Each year I am in charge of making a slideshow of photos and music for my annual company meeting. I always use iDVD to set up my photos and music and then burn the DVD to play at the meeting. Every time I burn the DVD, it blurs right before the transition of the photo. It has always done this and I'm not sure why. It will also make the music glitch in a few spots for about 5 seconds or more. If I burn another DVD to try it again, the glitches will still be there, but in different spots. I've tried the highest quality of DVD's possible and this still happens. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Try disabling transitions altogether!
    There is a technical reason that this breakup happens - it is to do with how slideshows can be saved within the DVD specification, they can either be recorded as 'video streams' or as a collection of 'still images'.
    When you add transitions iDVD has no option but to use a video stream, this can result in terrible 'breakup' because the mpeg 2 encoder isn't designed to handle scenes that are static with a sudden short change. You can see 'artefacts' in the video stream…
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact
    'Still image slideshows' avoid the issue altogether by only showing a static image, no video compression is used & because the scene doesn't transition so it shouldn't breakup.
    NOTE: Music on the slideshow is irrelevant, both types can use a soundtrack.
    I cannot remember if it is possible to force iDVD to only make still image slideshows, I always use DVD Studio Pro to correctly setup DVD's. I'd suggest you use the option to save the DVD to a disk image & then open that disk image so that DVD Player can preview it, that should save on the number of test disks you burn.
    If you cannot make it avoid using video streams you may be ether off making your own video slideshow in iMovie & then import that into iDVD. It may eventually look better despite being a video stream!
    iDVD isn't really condusive to professional levels of control.

  • I use to have over 8,700 songs in iCloud and then all of a sudden all of my devices erased everything and then randomly added some songs here and there and now I only have about 600 songs.

    I use to have over 8,700 songs stored in icloud and all my devices recognized them fine. Then one day everything erased and then about 200-300 came back, on their own and then a. Kills more hundred came back and I'm up to 600 but now I can't find anymore of my music in iCloud.

    Jesus Christ,
    Pretty sure He doesn't answer questions here...
    Go to the top of the iTunes window and put the cursor over track name. Click the arrow to the right of the now playing track name and Go to Song.

  • Why is the itunes store removing some songs/albums here and there? First they removed all of the Monkey Majik albums, now they've deleted a album by Moonjam in the Mexico store. Im upset

    First they removed all of the Monkey Majik albums in the US Store, now they've deleted a album by Moonjam in the Mexico store.
    Im sorry, but im upset, very.
    Some of my friends think maybe it's because that certain album or two were no longer selling. And yet, there are other ones that
    literally have no reviews, no ratings, not one person buying a song from there, and yet, itunes is still hanging on to them. What's up
    with that.

    "ah, so It's really up to the artists/ Distributions people that decide what can be published or sold? "
    Yes.

  • Changing Tab order in a completed form without altering or moving fields here and there

    Hi All,
    I've made a complex questionairre and is almost complete. Now the problem is that when I converted this file from Word, many fields were automatically detected and their tab order/ numbering was set by Acrobat itself. The remaining fields in the form (at different places) were created by myself. Now in the tab ordering, the fields automatically detected have priority and the fields I created, are much different from the corresponding fields in tab numbering. For your understanding, I'm including the screenshot too. Please see the tab numbering in the image and after field # 7, there is field # 28, then field # 26, and then field # 29 which is not the way it should be.
    Please advise any solution (if there is any) on your earliest convenience.
    Thanks in anticipation!

    Have you opened the "Pages" navigation panel and looked at the options for the page?
    There should be a series of options like "Row", "Column" or "Unspecified". Select the "Row" and see if the form tabs the way you would like.

  • Random Audio spike/pop sound here and there

    Hey guys, i get this spike type of audio pop from my MBP 17" output., i also hear it now with Leopard as well.
    Any ideas?, please advise----

    Same problem here. It seems to start when the audio hardware gets switched on, lots of little annoying crackles.. it is especially obvious with my somewhat high-end studio monitors. Odd thing though, I didn't notice it until recently, after the latest round of Leopard updates (10.5.1). Could the culprit be in there? Hopefully Apple is on top of this. Well they better be, **** laptop is only 1 month old.

  • Songs disappear from itunes library - and from the harddrive - by itself. One song here and there, not entire albums. Have been surfing on the web, and can see that many people have this problem. What is the solution?

    I'm deeply worried. About to digitalize my entire CD collection, but can't continue until this problem is solved, or i'll risk slowly loosing my music. Song by song. Discovered the problem while browsing the Itunes library, when I realised that for example song number 2 and 11 was missing from one album, and 4 and 7 from another album. Very strange. When browsing the when I found lots of people experiencing the same. I'm using the 2011 Macbook Pro, and the Itunes library is on the Macbook Pro harddrive.
    Hope someone can help....

    just want to add that i use Itunes 10.4.1. But I can see that users have problems with many versions.
    I have an ipod shuffle that i connect once and a while. But the songs that are dissappearing are not the ones on the ipod as far as i can see...

  • The Cursor Jumps Here and There While Typing

    When I type something on text-processing applications (Text Editor, Sticky, Word 2004 for Mac, even compose email field on web-based emails), my cursor keeps moving randomly to the previous part of the body text. I keep on typing until I realize it messes up what I've been typing. I can't keep typing and checking the result all the time.
    It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens often enough. It's kinda very frustrating.
    Any idea why this happens?
    Thanks!

  • Subscription inquiry: to and fro/here and there

    Aloha, If I buy a unlimited subscription for a specific country (SIN), does that also work while I'm in SIN calling back to the USA?  

    Hi, dashimaki!
    Welcome to the Skype Community! Unfortunately, no - unlike commuter train tickets, you cannot make calls to the inverse country. You will need to subscribe to the Unlimited US & Canada plan in order to take advantage of unlimited calling back to the United States. You can, however, still use your Unlimited Singapore Calling Plan to call Singaporean mobiles & landlines while you're in Singapore for the time being. Should you need any more assistance, please don't hesitate to let the community know!

  • HT1386 All of a sudden only about a 4th of my content will sync onto my ipod. I've tried restoring the settings, updating itunes, and installing on another computer. Now i only have about a 4th of the music I had on there before and there's still plenty o

    All of a sudden my ipod erased everything when syncing. (this seems to occur most frequently after adding music to my library). At first I thought it was the ipod and exchanged for a new one ( i"d had the first one for a year and a half until this happened. After recieving the new ipod i still have the same problem. I've restored the factory settings and everything is up to date and yet I've only been able to sync around 9000 songs tops compared to the 40,000 I had before. I even tried syncing from a different computer and still only some of the music syncs. Besides a few newbies here and there all the content is the same as what I had before. Any suggestions?

    I´ve tried every possible solution listed, those that have worked for others...nothing has worked. My library has about 2777 songs of which at first only 1370 loaded. After syncing w/o music, which deleted all music from my iPhone, I then selected Sync Music again and synced...well this time only 391 songs were added!!! It skipped the other 1400 I already had in! I´ve come to notice that these 391 songs are the ones purchased directly on the iTunes Store, but previously I had ALL my CD´s ripped and loaded to my iPhone.
    I don´t know if this has something to do with the new iTunes version, but please, please, someone give me some light! I don´t want to go and convert all 2400 songs from MP3 to AAC..!! It´s not practical!
    Thanks in advance for your comments.
