Freezing for few seconds

Hi,
I'm on MacBook Pro Intel and I had it for about 1,5 year. The latest months the system starts to freezing for 5-15 sec. It's happening occasionally but it's really annoying as I'm using it for live performances. Tried to clean memory and clear catch and reboot it from the CD.
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP55.00AC.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.47f2
State: Enabled

Oh, thanks
(iPod isn't jailbreaked btw)

    Gaming apps freezes for few seconds , then resumes by itself or crashes sometimes ,after upgrading to iOS 8.3 on iphone 6

    Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
    1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
    2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
    3. Do a soft and hard reset.
    4. Reset network settings.
    5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
    6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
    I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

  • Photoshop CS5 Freezes for few seconds on Long Press on Tools.

    Hi,

  • Mountain Lion freezes for few seconds when closing tabs

    Hi all,
    When closing tabs on Google Chrome, usually after "heavy" navigation (HD flash video or several pdfs opened for examples), Moutain Lion sometimes freezes for less than 10 seconds and then back to normal. The trackpad is still responsive but I can't do anything appart moving the pointer. It appears around two times in one hour. In never appends with other applications like Photoshop or games.
    This may be already a known issue on ML, but all the reports I read were pretty old and not exactly similar. Here some details :
    Recent Mid 2012 Retina MBP (only 15 battery cycles)
    Os X 10.8.2 ; 2.6Ghz ; 16GB
    I *nerver* connected it to any external displays.

  • System freezes for few seconds/ millisecon​ds

    Hi,
    since a few days i've got a problem rising up at my Satellite P750.
    Sometimes (its not specific due to any operation)
    my system freezes for a millisecond or maybe bit longer.
    I don't know what to do. Neither Toshiba Analyse Tools say anything nor AntiVirus :/
    Seems to be a specific problem!?
    Maybe someone knows how to fix it ?
    Regards and thx,
    Simon

    Try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.
    If that doesn't fix it, you could try a recovery as a final option. Recovering your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system recovery will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide. You can usually hold '0' (zero) while booting to begin the procedure.
    If the problem persists after performing a recovery, it may require servicing.

  • Safari and iPad 2 froze for few seconds (iOS 4.3.3)

    I was showing off my iPad to a friend of mine, suddenly while on safari, it froze and then icons on home screen stopped responding. Even power switch was not responding. After few seconds every thing went back to normal. On going back to safari it started reloading pages. Not cool at all.

    Ah! the question. Thanks for the pointers.
    Complain: My iPad 2 (iOS 4.3.3) and safari froze for few seconds. It's happened only once after the upgrade. The same may be looked into as it will dearly effect users who use iPad for financial transactions.

    Request for help: Please help me avoid getting frozen for few seconds in the future.

  • My macbook pro freezes every few seconds

    Hi everyone!
    About a week ago my MBP started freezing every few seconds showing the well known spinning beach balls every time, even when running no apps, I've sepnt plenty of time looking for a solution, I've read this problem might be due to a physically damaged hard drive, bt I've tested it several times using different apps and it shows no error, I've read from another discussion about Etrecheck as a useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem, so I hope some of you guys can help me checking the log output.

  • Video freezes every few seconds

    My new iPad video playback freezes every few seconds.  I have a decentish Internet speed (2.3MB) and have turned all apps off and even reset.  Any ideas?

    Does it always take a long time to buffer the video?  Can take several minutes for a video of the same length.

  • Toshiba Qosmio X505 Q8102 freezes every few seconds in games.

    Again i have to post in this forums, so im not satisfied and dissapointed..
    The laptop is freezing every few seconds in most 3D games, i thought it's the OS  problem, so installed a fresh copy of Windows7 (original), downloaded newest drivers from toshiba support site, and installed every one of the without problem. But the problem is still here.. Don't know what to do, gave 1800$ for this pice of junk and ill i got is problems..
    I'm not a newbie within computers, working with them for past 15 years (at the moment Network Administrator in Croatian Military).
    Tried replacing the memory, hdd, and still nothing, same problem.. The warranty expired and doesn't  work in Europe.. Contacted US support and asked for recovery disks because this **bleep** recovery partition is damaged and can't boot from recovery.. tried with Toshiba media builder but same problem, doesn't work -_-... One thing is for sure.. im never gonna buy Toshiba again. Oh yeah, forggot tu mention, I've contacted Toshiba Croatia for recovery disks and support, and they said to me that thy don't give recovery disks and don't sell them (than why can i buy recovery dvd's from toshiba us?, and can't from Croatia).. 
    Anyway, if no one can tell me any solution it will be crashed with hammer and burn it  (because i have no nerves for it any more).. I use the laptop very often and i need it for my job..
    Before i buyed this laptop i was in doubt, buy toshiba or alienware? Hmm, made a huge mistake..
    Thank you in advance and hope someone can tell me anny solution..
    Luka

    Sorry for late reply, i was away and without internet ...
    Yeah, i know the procedure with the zerro key, and with toshiba media creator to make backup dvd-s etc, but non of that work because my recovery partition is kinda damaged, don't know why is that so. Didn't mess with the hdd or anything else. But that's not the problem, installed a fresh copy of windows, updated it and installed drivers and everything i need, than made a acronis secure zone on my hdd and made recovery by my self and works great. 
    But bigger problem is why the hell is he freezing every now and than in games, just stops for half of a second and than continues normaly for few seconds, another thing, while its frozen the sound freezes aswell, tried another sound driver, updated everything and still got same problem.. 

  • I believe OS 10.10.2 is causing my mac to freeze every few seconds.

    For the last two weeks or so, my MacBook Pro (2011) has been freezing every few seconds. I can barley type this now. When I pull up Activity Monitor, it shows my memory running at 3.0+ out of 4 GB's. I've tried everything I could think of. My Mac is more of a internet surfing comp so I didn't mind reinstalling OS. It worked great for about 30 minutes then everything started to freeze again. Im curious if anyone else is having this issue and if anyone's figured out how to fix it. I ran a diagnostic on my ram and thats not the issue. Im to the point of upgrading my ram but i think it's dumb reverting to that when the 4 GB has been plenty for me in the past.
    Thank You.

    I can attach Full events if want. Is this problem comes due to an hardware or OS error? Pls help.
    Thanks. 

    I own two of the dv4-1275mx laptops.  Both machines were purchased around June of 2009 from Best Buy, and both machines are doing the same thing as what has been described here.  It appears that this model has a flaw, or certain production runs have this flaw.  I have done an exhaustive amount of research about this problem and know quite a bit about it.
    But, good luck getting HP's Customer No-Service department to actually fix the problem.  If you try to get them to fix it, you are about to be taken for quite a ride.  They have been absolutely no help in diagnosing the problem, and I am still trying to get them to acknowledge and fix the problem with these laptops.
    The problem is with the hard disk controller.  It happens both with the built-in hard disk drive and with an external disk drive.  It occurs whenever you place a significant load on the disk controller.  When the problem occurs, the machine will lock up for 60 seconds at a time.  Eventually, the driver times out, resets the disk, and drive activity continues until it happens again.
    Normally, the problem is very intermittent because normal usage of the machine doesn't always trigger this problem.  However, I have been able to replicate the problem consistently using a backup program called Macrium Reflect (free edition).  If I use Macrium Reflect to back up or restore the hard disk image using an external disk drive plugged into the eSATA port, then the ATAPI errors in the log appear immediately after it begins copying data.  Eventually, the backup will fail.
    The worst part about this is the data corruption.  If the lock-up condition occurs when a disk write is happening, then the data being written will get corrupted and you will lose data.  I have had disks that have gradually gotten so corrupted that they won't boot anymore.  I have spent a countless number of hours backing up, restoring, and attempting to use the machine despite these problems.
    After doing further research and testing, it appears that this type of problem is not uncommon to the AMD M780G / ATI Radeon 3200 chipset that these laptops use.  If you search the Internet for this type of error, you will find a number of HP and Non-HP customers complaining about this same issue with this chipset on different machines.  This leads me to believe that the problem might be with the chipset itself.
    I have attempted to find a software remedy to the problem with no success.  This included trying all of the following:
    - Trying Windows Vista 64 with various configurations of service packs and updates.
    - Using the Microsoft AHCI driver and the ATI-supplied AHCI driver for the Radeon 3200 series
    - Using different BIOS revisions
    - Trying to find a magic combination of AHCI driver and BIOS revision that would work
    - Trying various settings for disk write caching
    - Turning of DMA on the controller
    - Uninstalling every piece of HP-supplied software that I could think of that might have even the slightest possibility of interfering with the hard disk controller
    None of this worked.  Eventually, I concluded that this is a hardware problem that isn't going to get fixed through software.
    Sadly, after doing all of this research, HP has not been helpful with getting this problem fixed.  In the past, I have owned laptops from Dell and Toshiba, and while I know that no manufacturer is perfect, I have not had many issues getting prompt and reliable service from either of those two companies when I needed it.  This is the first time I have purchased an HP laptop.  And after the customer no-service experiences I have had, it is likely to be the last time I purchase an HP laptop.
    HP's technical support seems to think that re-imaging the drive to reset the machine to factory defaults cures all problems.  Over the phone, they have made me do this a couple of times, insisting that the problem is a result of a virus or something I installed on my machine.
    Recently, I sent both of my laptops to them for service.  To assist them, I included the details of all of the research that I had done.  I gave them copies of this information both electronically, and included inside the box with the laptop.  The information had details on the steps that I tried, and links to websites documenting problems with the M780G chipset.  It also had details on how to replicate the problem with Macrium Reflect.  I even re-imaged the machine back to the factory image, and installed Macrium Reflect for their convenience.  And what did HP's service department do?  They re-imaged the hard drive again and sent it back to me without even bothering to run my test!  This is just absolutely moronic.  Either the service technician can't read, or the service technician just doesn't care about fixing customer problems!
    My complaints about HP's service are as follows:
    There is no sense of urgency about fixing problems.  I have been enduring this issue for 9 months now.  But no one seems to care.
    It takes forever for them to turn around machines in their service department.  With Dell, I used to have a working laptop in my hands in 5 days, tops.  What's worse is that they ship the packages via FedEx Ground with signature confirmation.  (If you work a normal day job, good luck trying to get your package from FedEx Ground, which is only open when I am at work.)
    The telephone and online support personnel often don't listen to you, and the details of problems don't ever seem to be recorded anywhere.  I have had to explain this problem over and over for various people who seemed almost completely ignorant about the problems I have been experiencing.
    The technicians are not competent, even when you tell them what needs to be fixed.
    As far as I am concerned, HP has not been honoring the warranty on my machines.  This is has been frustrating beyond words.  I am at the point where I just want two new laptops without this chipset, but I seriously doubt I will ever get that.  To all of you who are experiencing the same issue as I am, I wish you the best of luck in getting HP to resolve this problem--you are going to need it!
