Freezing after connecting to 802.11x after upgrade to 10.6.8

Ever since I upgraded to 10.6.8, every time I try to connect to my office wireless, my whole system freezes. Once I disconnect from it, everything is working fine. This happens when trying to connect to the wifi as well as through ethernet..
The weird thing is, this doesn't happen on any other network. I don't have this issue on my home network, nor do I have this issue when tethering to my phone. It's only when trying to connect to my work network via wireless or ethernet that this happens. There are multiple users in my work environment that are also on 10.6.8 and they're able to connect to the work network just fine.
I've done only a few solutions that i've googled, but they haven't work. The most promising was https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2530620?start=0&tstart=0, but that just caused the computer to not be able to find both wireless and ethernet.
I'd really like some insight into a solution please.
Thank you.

My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...

  • Itunes freezes after upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 on connecting iPhone 5

    Itunes freezes after upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 on connecting iPhone 5.
    I tried it with a differnt Iphone and the results are the same. Any suggestions?

    Hi JZN1994,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that after updating your computer to 10.9.3 iTunes stops responding when an iPhone is connected to it. There may be few different steps you will need to go through to get this resolved. I suggest working through the steps in the attached article.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

    My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks.

    I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
    Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
    Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

  • [SOLVED] System freeze after upgrade linux-3.12.9-2 to linux-3.13.4-1

    After upgrading from kernel 3.12.9 to 3.13.4 (booth x86_64 architecture) i detected system freeze after round about 0.5s of the login screen about 80% of the time.
    So i first thought it coulbe be the the ati driver and uninstalled that via livecd/chroot.
    But the same thing happens in comand line only mode.
    Afterwards i setup at ssh server to get into the maschine if it is still running, but is was also not responding to that.
    Downgrading to 3.12.9 solved the issue. In journalctl i could not find any usefull information.

  • IPad 3 freezes after upgrade to 8.0.  Never ever had a problem with 7, at all.  want to throw the stupid thing out.

    After upgrading from 7 to 8 my iPad 3 will freeze using email, safari, games.  I never ever had a problem before this upgrade.  Have done all the temporary suggestions but nothing is a permanent and will come right back.  I am so sorry that I upgraded, can not go back.  I really want to thank the IOS guys for screwing everything up.  Seems like old times with the Microsoft Tech guys.  I have no problem with my iPhone 6 Plus phone.

    It seems to be caused by roboform 7.5.1. I upgraded to the latest version of robo and it's working now. Sorry mozilla, not your fault.. very frustrated.

  • MacBook Pro (mid 2007) freezes after upgrade to Mavericks

    Hello,
    After the upgrade to Mavericks my MacBook Pro (mid 2007) freezes after a couple of minutes of usage - after successful install and the use of some apps. Not bad enough the system is now always crashing if I try to boot. PM reset didn't help. Booting from the restore partition was possible, but I decided to go back to a working backup of 10.8.4 made a minute before I tried to upgrade. Why 10.8.4? Because 10.8.5 causes the strange problem that the Mac freezes after wake up from sleep.
    Any suggestions?
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Kind regards

    I did a clean install of mavericks on my MBP (mid 2007) and still it freezes at arbitary points. The very first time when it booted up it worked for longer and when I started to apply updates from app store, it froze. Successive boots froze much early, like within few seconds of booting.
    I am going to check this by booting in safe mode.  I am losing hope with mavericks on my MBP (mid 2007) and will switch back to snow leopard (10.6.8) which was working seemless.
    I checked so many things, based on other posts to make sure if my MBP is really Mid 2007. IT IS.
    Rgds,
    Raj.

  • Freezes after upgrade

    My Mac Mini freezes a lot and sometimes the login cube don't stop spinning after upgrading to latest firmware. How can I solve that?

    It sounds like something you have installed that boots drivers did not expect the firmware to change.  You can verify this by seeing if safe mode boots.  If it still has problems booting, then the firmware was not applied correctly, or there was already a hardware problem present that the firmware update simply brought to light.  Run then the hardware test that came with the Mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
    If there is nothing detected, it could still be a physical RAM issue. If the boot from safe mode works, then you need to eliminated all non-Apple hardware from the boot, and discover if any installed drivers aren't known to be compatible with that firmware by checking with their vendors.

  • IPhone 5 freezes after upgrading to iOS7

    I've updated my iPhone 5 64Gb from 6.1.4 to iOS 7 yesterday via Wi-Fi. And after that upgrade the iPhone started to freeze randomly. Sometimes after opening notification center, sometimes after opening control center or settings, sometimes it reboots itself. But it constantly freezes after idling for 10-15 minutes. I've got a black screen and no reaction on any buttons and touchscreen, only soft reset helps (power+home for 10 seconds). I tried to restore it with my mac and itunes but not succeeded. I also tried to reset settings from iPhone but that also didn't help.
    Any ideas except downgrading to 6.1.4?

    This is pretty much the same thing that's happening to my iPhone 5 32GB. I installed it September 19 and worked flawlessly until today. So far, it's "bricked" itself (turning off) 3 times today and I have to hold power+home to get it to boot.
    Seems fairly random. Bricked once while opening notification center, the last time was immediately after I received a text message while in the locked screen.

  • Why is my podcast application freezing after upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS7 ?

    My podcast application is not working on my iPhone 4, after upgrading to iOS 7. What can I do to fix the problem ? Is it possible to play my podcasts on another application ?

    Found the solution : deleted the frozen screen Podcast application, restarted the iPhone, downloaded the application again, deleted all podcasts from the application (edit, and delete one by one) and synchronized with iTunes via cable. Now it works !!!
    IMPORTANT : before deleting all podcasts don't try to do anything else with the newly downloaded podcast app. it will freeze !!! and you have to delete and reinstall the application again !!!

  • C1000A CenturyLink modems freezing after upgrading iPad Air and 5S to 8.0

    I have discovered that after upgrading to 8.0, my C1000A modem stops working when I connect with my 5S and iPad Air.  I thought my modem was going bad, but when I went to my mother's house the same thing happened.  There is something different with 8.0 that is causing the C1000A modems to stop working.   Has anyone else ran into this issue?  I would hate to go somewhere and shut down the WiFi at Culver's for instance because 8.0 has some sort of weird bug. 

    It looks like Apple has a another bug to squash.  It appears the issue with locking up my C1000A has to due with IPV6.  I hit the reset button on my modem and IPV6 was turned off.  I turned IPV6 back on and while I was testing connectivity with http://test-ipv6.com  my modem locked up.  I turned off IPV6 and no issues so far.

  • New tab keeping freezing after upgrade to v35 on Ubuntu 14.10

    After upgrading to Firefox 35 on Ubuntu 14.10, I keep experiencing browser freeze every time when I open a new tab. The browser freezes about 30 seconds when a new tab is launched.
    Is there anyone encountering the same problem? and How can this problem be fixed?

    Thanks for the reply. Tried, but didn't work. The freezing is actually trigged when I type in the address bar. I have tried different trouble shooting methods, but none of them works. The browser keeps freezing. There was no problem before upgrading to version 35. Maybe there is a bug. How can I submit a bug report?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
