Freezing when using system preferences

Hi everyone,
On my MacBook Pro, when i enter system preferences, click the unlock icon ad put my password in, system prefs just freezes, and i have to go into force quite, etc. when, sometimes it works, about 1 in 5 times, it freezes when i change a preference, particulaly in to do with time and date. i am currently downloading 10.4.9, to see if tat chnges anything, but that will take all night. anyone know how to this might be fixed?

Do you have the original MacBook Pro installer disks?
If you do, boot it up with the startup manager:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
If you don't, and you lost them call AppleCare for a replacement set:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
If you bought it third hand, ask for the seller to call AppleCare if they lost their set, and ask them to give them to you, as they don't belong to them.
Once you boot the installer disk, select the language, and go to the Disk Utility in the Utilities menu. Select repair permissions, and repair disk, and tell us the results.

Windows 8 freezing when using Firefox

When I'm using Firefox or Chrome browsers the whole entire PC is freezing.
Already posted my issue on the Microsoft Community forum, where you can read the details and the troubleshooting steps I tried:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-networking/windows-8-freezing-when-using-chrome-or-firefox/d6bad301-6c55-4469-96cb-0ec3d43e1113
Also I found another post here on the Mozilla forum, who had the same issue and he did not seem to solve it either: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975278?esab=a&as=aaq
Please help me to fix this annoying issue! Thx!

Well, the MS site was a bust, wasn't it?
it would help to know how Firefox is configured.
Can you send me your troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having issues? This is a good part in troubleshooting.

Firefox has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young, which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it. You can try to disable hardware acceleration to see if that alleviates your problems.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps for Firefox version 29.0 and above:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux. For Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Note that if this issue happens in both Chrome and Firefox that it may be a system issue and not a Firefox related issue,
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys.. I have to restart to continue.
Does it have to do with the disk utility?
I already did the disc repair job

Open System Preferences - Universal Access and check whether 'Mouse Keys' are activated.
If so, then deactivate them. They could be the cause of your problem.

MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

TS2551 Iphoto freezes when going in preferences

since one day my Iphoto 09 freezes when going in preferences. Can anyone help?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then it's your current library that's the culprit.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Thanks in advance -
If you follow your plan, you will learn a lot and not be nearly so "new" to Mac. Here are my responses to your latest questions/statements:
So i think i will try to make a clean Installation .
In our jargon, a "clean" install means that you will erase your disk and individually reinstall your system and applications, and then restore your data files. This method is very thorough and will give you a pristine system, but it requires considerably more of your time and effort than other methods that may correct your problems.
Easier alternatives are available for your consideration. Before you undertake a system reinstall, read the rest of this post and then study this document and the links in the document that are applicable to your problem and plans:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1388
If you decide to reinstall your system, carefully consider your installation options:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545 (also applies to OS 10.6)
As i am "new" into Mac - what will be the best way .
"Best" can mean different things to different people. For example:
• The method explained in the User Guide (manual) that came with your Mac is the easiest way.
• The "Erase and Install" option from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545 is quicker to reinstall, but requires more work for apps and data after the OS is installed.
• Archive and Install with the "Preserve user and network settings" option eliminates the need for reinstalling apps and reconfiguring network and other user settings by "preserving" these things during the OS reinstall. Unfortunately, it sometimes also preserves the problem that is causing your difficulty.
• Secure erase before installing OS assures that NOTHING unwanted remains on your disk to cause problems after the reinstall. One pass of writing Zeros is sufficient for your purpose. Note that secure erase will take hours, depending on the size of your disk. The help article below applies to your 10.5&6 as well as the 10.4 it states,:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1011.html
Perhaps easiest of all (as least for Time Machine users) is to use your Mac's Leopard Install DVD and your Time Machine backup to "Restore" your system to a configuration dated BEFORE you did the update that has caused your problems. This method will get you working quickly, but it will not help you use Snow Leopard. If you have not already figured out how to do this "Restore," see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
The section entitled " Using Disk Utility" will help you use your Time Machine backup to take your entire system back to when Leopard was working. After it works again, either stay with Leopard, or uninstall or update whatever software is causing your Snow Leopard conflict before again updating to Snow Leopard.
My questions - with what System CD i should start to make the clean install ? 10.5 or 10.6 ?
Use Leopard Install CD if you want to backup to Leopard.
Only use Snow Leopard if you want to try a fresh install of SL to see if you can get it working.
And How ?
Depending on your needs and whether you bought your Mac and SL update locally, and especially if your time is valuable to you, the best way may be to contact your retailer for an appointment so he can either help you or fix your problem for you. If you can use this as a training exercise, you will find it easier to do than to read and write about, and you can ask questions during the process. If you retailer does not consider proper installation of the SL software you bought from him to be part of his service, and if he offers "One to One", you may find it well worth your time and its cost:
http://www.apple.com/retail/onetoone/
If you have plenty of time, or if you merely like doing things for yourself, follow the instructions for the Disk you are using (or the instructions in the links I cite above if you want to try one of those methods.) Remember, you can try an easy/quick way first in case it works without all the manual effort on your part. If that fails to correct your problem, you are only out your time. You can try the next easiest way, and keep trying increasingly complex methods until you find the one that works for you.
What Data will be lost - or is all backup with Time Machine like Photos ,......
This answer varies depending on which method you use to restore your system or reinstall your OS:
• NOTHING IS LOST when you Archive & Install
(if you "preserve user and network settings" before installing)
• EVERYTHING IS LOST when you secure erase.
• Other methods may keep data but lose application or user configuration settings.
(1) I use SL on two Macs and it work GREAT on both. I WANT to use SL because I like it MUCH better than Leopard.&ensp:You did not ask this, but here is how I would proceed to get SL working:
♦ Unless you already have it, I would make another, separate, backup of all important data in addition to the one you already have in Time Machine. One backup is not enough for me. In addition to your music, photos, and other data files, consider items like those listed here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2980
♦ THEN, I would securely erase the startup disk and follow the instructions that came with the SL DVD to install SL.
♦ Immediately after the restart that completes the install, I would use Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
♦ Then configure your internet connection, and download and install the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo):
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
♦ Immediately after the restart that completes the Combo Update, repair permissions again.
♦ Once you have reinstalled SL, use  > Software Update... to update any other Apple software as needed. I repair permissions before and after any installer than asks me to enter my Administrator Password.
♦ Now you can test your iMac using http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 to verify that the problem is resolved. If your problem persists at this point, see your Apple Authorized Service Provider for professional help.
♦ You can restore your data files either now or after reinstalling third-party items.
♦ Now, you can reinstall necessary third-party software. Install only one item at a time and test thoroughly before adding another so you can tell if one of them is causing a problem.
(2) If you would rather retreat to Leopard and not bother trying to fix SL on your Mac, the easiest fix will be to restore your Leopard system from Time Machine. You can then restore any data newer than your last working Leopard system from your backups.

Imac keeps freezing when using safari

my imac keeps freezing when using safari or finder
The beachball appears and I have to wait.
My safari cache is emptied, have run Disk Utility to check permissions.
Rebooted various times.
Sorted out ``the community toolbar not supported" issue and still it's happening.
Anyone any tips on what to do next??
It's a 24 inch iMac - early 2009 version
Processor is 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software is OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

I have only been able to read your reply by going online on my phone -
I started up my iMac in safe mode on Saturday morning and reran Disk Utility , no problems.
I shut it down and re started it as normal. Whilst I was able to use my Mail and MS entourage and Safari brower,
the computer was very slow and the beachball appeared briefly each time I used a program.
On Monday , it didn't recognise one of the printers and was continually hanging.
All software is up to date and I have run Disk Utility - repair permissions again.
I shut the computer down yesterday and rebooted in Safe mode this afternoon so that I could try to look in
Console.

My iMac freezes when using Firefox

My iMac freezes when using Firefox. We have to restart our computer.

TutorDaddy, if this Mac is still covered by the initial warranty or under AppleCare, take it in and have it looked at. As the old label used to say, there truly are "no user serviceable parts inside." Kernel panics very usually indicate failing hardware.
I have an older iBook G4 that started developing kernel panics and like you, despite reinstalling the OS from a freshly formatted volume, they kept continuing. I looked at the crash log and saw that in each instance of panic, the last bit of code to be accessed had something to do with AirPort. Knowing that the AirPort software was at then current levels, I surmised the problem to be a bad AirPort networking card which, on that particular model of the iBook, was a very small module attached directly to the logic board. Since the computer was out of AppleCare, I broke the machine down myself (I didn't realize that there could be so many barely visible screws in one machine) and removed the offending piece of hardware. My iBook lives but without WiFi, it now sits as a more or less desktop machine needing an ethernet connection to stay connected to a network.
I do not suggest you break into your iMac. First of all, I'm guessing one would need to be able to pull off the glass and have the necessary glue to reattach it, which is not really available to us consumers. If you're feeling adventurous enough to read the crash logs from each panic, you might be able to surmise the hardware component (or badly written application or library; it can happen) that's causing the panic. If it's a software issue, remove the offending software app and see if the panics return. If it's a hardware issue, it's best to let a competent service tech qualified on Apple hardware to handle it.

After browsing through related problems in the discussions, I saw this link to a third-party web site being handed out. Perhaps you'll find it useful: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Sand Box has stopped working error when using System Exec.vi with wait until completion is true

I get the following error message in Windows 7 "Sand Box has stopped working" when using System Exec.vi with wait until completion set to true, if I set it to false there is no error message.

Hello JJVerdi
mmm well System Exec.vi simulates a DOS command window, can you run the sandbox from the cmd window using the same commands without any errors?
you may take a look to this KB, it may be related to your issue:

Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM (and other apps) - Both applications freeze and never come back...

We are trying to use test runner with dynamics CRM.
MS Dynamics CRM will freeze and will not respond (even after 10 - 15 minutes). When this happens, the test manager will either freeze or a message will apear saying "waiting for application under test".
We are not recording action recordings...This makes using test manager impossible. It happens consistently, starting with slowing the PC down (mouse moving slowly, slow to load in new screens, drop downs etc) eventually leading to the app freezing.
Tried on windows xp, windows 7 etc on various specs of pcs.

I am experiencing this same issue with
Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM. I notice this was first posted in June of 2010 and so far no
resolution? I was wondering if it could be related to memory issues? Do you have any troubleshooting ideas? The
issue for me seems to be sporadic and I can't
reproduce it every time.
The message I get is "waiting on application under test".
