Freezing many times a day

MMy iPad keeps freezing. I have reset using both home and sleep buttons. It's getting to be a bit of a bore!

TThanks for that Brian but the OS 7 printed on the bottom is wrong! I updated to 8.1 .1
It's getting really annoying having to keep resetting like this.
Do you have any other suggestions?

The third or fourth communication, firefox freezes many times/day, have to close down and restart firefox 5.0

I've upgraded to 5.0 firefox, and it freezes many times a day-have to close firefox and restart firefox - I've written you at least three other times about this and there's not been communication or resolution to this problem. This is really unacceptable - get back to me please.

So you have other postings, and what did you say there and what did you learn. Opening up another question doesn't help us to help you, if we have to start over each time. We want to know what you have done to try to fix the problem as well.

Since upgrading to Firefox 6 my computer has gone from staying up until yearly power failures to crashing many times a day.

VERY strange. I upgraded to 6 when it came out and it took me quite a few days later to figure out WHY I went from no crashes to nvidia driver crashes MANY times a day.
It was firefox 6.0.
I thought my nvidia drivers were out of date. They were one version behind so I upgraded. Crash.
I thought maybe some kernel interaction might be an issue so I compiled up the latest Linux 3.0.3 and re-installed the nvidia drivers.
Still crash. Took me a few more days to realize the only thing that changed on my system was Firefox. I usually upgrade without thinking.
I switched to Opera. Not a single crash in a week. So it is Firefox. I dug and dug and dug on google and found a remote reference to some acceleration added in 6. I disabled it. It still crashes. I have moved back to Firefox 5 and have run all day without a crash.
My computer at home runs about a dozen web sites, 2 X servers on separate consoles (one for standard browsing and all other functions and one for World of Warcraft gaming - I like to keep them separate), FTP, TeamSpeak server ver 2 & 3, NFS for terrabytes of media files, lets just say many things. Firefox 6 killed me.
What more info do you need. Sorry I pasted ver 5 Troubleshooting Info, but I need a special request before I run anything greater than 6 on this system again. I will do it if needed but I will need a reboot to prevent all these kernel/video driver crashes.
ONLY when I run Firefox 6. After some small usage (while watching xine videos or web browsing youtube, playing WoW, or who knows what) the screen FLASHES and I know a freeze is eminent. If I can get one last xterm up I can dmesg and see these messages or if I log in with my android phone via SSH. I still have control of the system just no display. I can reboot there or Alt-Sysrq Sync, Unmount, Boot to restart my system many times a day.

That is probably rather unlikely. The updates are released ''throttled'' initially to a portion of users so that any major problems will be picked up before everyone gets it.
It is also run through a staged procedure releasing as six weeks each in Nightly -> Aurora -> Beta versions. Although some code change will occur in that process. The Releases also must also pass automated testing.
Once the Release happens then we can look for problems showing up from: the crash reporter, the input feedback, telemetry,and comments on this forum.
Problems do and always will get through but it is unlikely a problems causing Firefox not to start would go unnoticed unless it only affected a vanishingly small proportion of users (nearly 1/2 Billion total),and then it would possibly be because of specific hardware or interactions with other software.

Presumably you installed the conduit plugin deliberately and like it. A simple web search suggests many users may be unhappy with that software. Search

IMac Freezing Several Times a Day

My iMac is freezing several times a day. It started out just when I went to wake it from sleep in the morning, but now it is more often. I read about similar issues on the discussion boards and have taken the following actions: I have gone into Disk Utility and run "Verify Disk" and received "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be ok." I also used the Activity Monitor to check CPU activity, RAM availability, Hard Disk availability, etc. and everything seems fine there (57.4 GB open). However, when I checked Console Messages, there have been none since 1/16 at 4:37pm. It has been over a month since the freezing issue has been going on (& becoming more frequent) so I wonder if there is a relation/cause there? Any help welcome -- thanks!

I have used Firefox since it first came out, and always loved it. Firefox 4.0.1 is a different story. This must be one of the worst software upgrades across the board, of any software package I have ever used. I have stuck with it for a few weeks, and I have now finally given up.
Constant crashes, constant freezes, many plugins no longer work, my favorite among them, i.e PDF plugin to see PDF files inside the browser. AppTabs disappear over and over.
I have downgraded back to 3.6.17 and hope things will be better again.

MSN's latest update is crashing Firefox many times per day. When I try to send the crash report to Firefox, it says it has trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting that can help?

Firefox is crashing every time I have my MSN email account up. (Since I use it for business, that's many times per day.) It seems to coincide with hotmail's latest update where the email is checked and downloaded to the inbox automatically. Then when it asks me if I want to send the crash report to Firefox, I select yes and it tells me it had trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting I can change? I can't seem to keep my email account up for more than 10 minutes.
p.s if you're reading this Microsoft, it's still not bad enough to make me to go back to Internet Explorer!

Hi,
/Users/sarahschadek/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

Whatwhere is the plug-incontainer? happened to the plug-in container? it disappeared with the latest version and now firefox freezes multiple times each day.

I don't see the plug-in container in the Windows Task manager since the last update of Firefox and now FF is freezing multiple times a day (since the previous update, before yesterday's). It takes several minutes after I see this until it unfreezes, and it's quicker to "end task" and re-start Firefox than wait. This most often seems to happen when the computer's been idle for awhile, rather than when I'm using it.

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.

Is it ok to charge iphone many times a day?

i always want to have a full battery, is it ok to charge the iphone many times every day(4-5 times)?

No. you should wear the battery down to 10-20%. Iphone batteries are designed to charge a limited number of times then they will no longer hold a charge. Charging so frequently will kill the battery early.

My Z10 restarts randomly many times a day

Hello BB Supporters and Users, My Z10 (STL100-1) starts restarting randomly one week ago, it crashed many times a day without any noticeable reasons. It reboots even while it is idle. I have been using my phone for 9 months without any problem. I have tried to put a small piece of paper to keep my battery tightly contacts with power pins but reboots still happen. I also use autoloader to put my phone to original state, remove all removable apps (facebook ...) but reboots still happen. I have searched for solutions in forums but my phone's problem doesnot disappear. Does anyone have any suggesstion?

(1st use here) Mollie this has been happening to ME alot this past month or so---(I have yet to contact tho so I was 'enlightened' by the fact that you HAVE & have yet to get an answer!!!)
I play a game through Facebook--it crashes frequently. This is my PC version:
(HP p7-1226s, 6.00 RAM, 64bit OS)
Flash Version: 11.7.700.224/MozillaFF, BUT I've recently downloaded Waterfox & currently use this. (I guess a spinoff from FFox)
which helped me greatly, as far as crashing every few seconds!! I was very skeptical to try Waterfox but upon Forum chatter I decided to try it. YAY!!!!) I suggest that to you, Mollie--Waterfox saved me from the funny farm, seriously!! & I hope I don't get into hot 'water' by writing that!!
To the powers that BE: I am in unison with Mollie up there & NOW I am getting these pop ups near my game:
"! (inside a yield sign) Problems have been detected with your Flash Player version" with a green bar trying to show that it is 'filling'. I get msgs on the sides as well, showing the sad adobe face with a saying of general flash crash yet I DO get grey/gray screen&crashes!!. While I KNOW that the 1st warning I rec'd was
probably an ad--it/they GOT to me because I am actually having ISSUES with it, so I also wonder how far or how deep/what lengths MY Adobe flash has to do with any of these pop ups & DOES adobe warn us on the sidebars of game screens??. & here's is hoping that I can find this danged ?? & answers once I logout!!
(my apologies if I've infringed upon any1's posts or rights as this is the only place that I could find to post!!)
thank you very much!!

Macbook pro 2011 freezing multiple times a day

I've had my 13" macbook pro (early 2011) for 10 months now and it's always frozen fairly regulary like once a week, but recently i freezes multiple times a day and says all my alpications are not responding and won't let me force quit so my only option is to restart the computer everytime.
It seems like the problem mostly occurs whilst browsing the internet, but i have reinstalled both firefox and chrome and still have the same problem.
Anyone any ideas on how to fix it as restarting and loosing work all the time is getting anoying now.
Also I'd like to do a hardware check as my year warenty is almost up but pressing and holding 'd' on start up doesn't work - has this changed?

Try the following
1. SMC Reset http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. PRAM Reset http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Safe Mode http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4373
Also Use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions.
To find Disk Utility: Go to Finder> Applications> Utilities> Disk Utilities
Once there click on Macintosh HD in the left column to highlight it.
Then click Repair Disk Permissions.
Keep me updated, there is another option if these do not work.

TS1398 One iPod drops WiFi many times per day. Another never does. Why?

I bought two iPod 4s for Christmas, one for my son and one for my wife. They use them around the house, and my wife's never drops the WiFi signal. My son's however drops the signal many times per day, and it asks for the Wi-Fi password each time. I can't figure out how to make his work like his mother's. How can I make his Apple experience better?

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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My MBP "13 freezes several times a day

My MBP "13 freezes several times a day. Suddenly the spinning ball apears fro 2-3 minutes, then disappear for 30 secs and re-appearing for 2 minutes. There seam to be no pattern in which software is running at the time this occours. I have just installed new RAM and I have 150 gig available on my 500 gig HDD.
Anyone?
G:-)

Hey,
My advise would be to open Activity monitor, look at what takes up the most threads while you're working normally. See if there are any background apps causing overloads, also look at how much of the RAM is being addressed in the system memory tab.
Alternatively if you find that very little of the computers CPU is being used and in this case i would advise verifying and repairing your disk permissions through Disk Utility
Finally if this doesn't fix your issue, you may be looking at a software issue. Are you running 10.8? Upgrading may address and fix your issue.
350GB is still a fair amount of information for the computer to process. You can also move your non immediate date onto an external harddrive to save internal space. Things like iphoto library, itunes library, films and
i agree with clintonfrombirmingham it could be signs of a failing harddrive. Make a backup and see Apple.

Firefox freezes several times a day on my Imac so that I have to close it by force quit.

I have used several versions of firefox and each one freezes several times each day on my Imac. The only add on I use is the Ebay sidebar. When Firefox freezes the only answer is to "force Quit".
I do not have this problem with any other search engine (safari, opera,chrome).

Upgraded to Lion, my iMac early 2009 freeze several times a day

Hi all,
Since my upgrade to Lion (1.6.8 -> 1.7.3 and now 1.7.4), my iMac 2009 freeze several times a day.
the screen (wallpaper and windows) change of color ... i saw some artifacts and ... a moment, my mouse stops to move, my only way is to reboot my iMac.
before my upgrade, my iMac ran a week without a reboot .. :-!

In addition to having adequate RAM did you repair disk permissions after the updates? If not then please run Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and run Repair Disk Permissions, I would recommend doing so 2x. If you see messages, you can normally disregard them per Apple's Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore advice letter.

Tecra A8-158 freezes many times

I'm using a Tecra A8-158. I bought this february and after that maybe in the first week of using it got frozen up.
I remember that in first month it froze only 2 times but after that it is happening many times.
Sometimes it is working fine for days and sometimes it freezes 2 times daily. When it freezes i m not running any heavy software, normal usage. When it hangs the fan starts making a little noise.
Is there something i can do to fix the problem?
I don't want to reformat my toshiba.

Tecra A8 is one of the best Tecra notebooks and it is really hard to believe that there is some hardware problem. We can here just speculate what the problem can be but it also depends how you use your notebook and how is the OS configured.
Sorry but I believe something force CPU to run under pressure at 100% and because of that all other activities are simply blocked. In this moment usually cooling fan starts to rotate. It is logic while CPU runs under full speed and produce warmness.
I know that radical solution as OS installation is not so good but it is only option to check if this behavior occurs because of notebook itself or maybe because of additional software installation.
Try to check all background activities, stop antivir application and also other useless processes. Watch carefully if freezing happen again.
