G5 Hangs When Loading Tiger

Okay, check this out...
Just picked up a PowerPC G5 4x2.5... a nice little quad system with installed 6gb RAM.
When I attempt to install the Tiger operating system... I load the DVD, it tells me to restart, and then it happens...
It tries to restart, and then the screen fills with text and says that it's hanging.
I would REALLY like to install OSX Tiger, any suggestions.
PowerPC G5 4x2.5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Edward, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!
Which version of OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") are you trying to install? I may be jumping to conclusions - but if you are using the original 10.4[.0] retail disc it may be the problem.
The dual-core ("Late 2005") G5s came with [at least] 10.4.2 installed and need some hardware-specific bits not available in the earlier versions of 10.4

If this is not the problem at all, please post again.

FCPX 10.0.7 hangs when loading multiple projects - a non-destructive work around

FCPX 10.0.7 hangs when loading multiple projects - a non-destructive work around....
Hi Guys, I upgraded from FCPX 10.0.6 to 10.0.78 and discovered to my immense frustration that many of my 100+ FCPX projects would not load.
Symptom:
FCPX 10.0.7 appears to hang ("spinning beachball") with either high CPU% on a single core or with 1-2% CPU busy (activity monitor.app) when a FINAL CUT PROJECT is selected. No logs error information in /var/logs ..hmm
notices that the "status circle" spins around endlessly.
Actvity Monitor.app shows "Final Cut Pro (Not Responding)
and also I notice in some cases that an OEM filter ("NEAT VIDEO NOISE REDUCTION") is in progress to be loaded. FCPX V10.0.7 must be FORCED QUITtted to remove it from system.
History: Upgraded FCPX from V10.0.6 to V10.0.07.
"FINAL CUT EVENTS" and "FINAL CUT PROJECTS" on a single file system on SAS 16TB disk array (768MB/sec read via AJA system test) and 60% utilised capacity… FCP EVENTS has 400 events in it .. some 5.2TB of Prores essence etc .. all works fine! (i.e. the storage system is first class and is NOT the issue)
32GB of RAM on MAC PRO 2009 Nehalem 16 x Vcore with ATI 5780 card and ATTO HBA's (i.e. plenty of resources!)
As usual with any "upgrade" to FCPX 10.0.? all the EVENT objects need to be upgraded. In my case this takes an hour or two.. so I do that when asleep.
After experiencing above, I restored the FCPX EVENTS LIbrary of that file system from LTO4 tape archive (BRU-PE ) and still had the same issues as above.
WORKAROUND:
FORCEd QUIT FCPX V10.0.7
RENAMEd "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" to "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original"
created (make) a new "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" (use finder)
For each project !!! in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original", (do one project at a time!!!)
MOVE "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original/one_fcpx_projext_nnnn_folder" to "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects"
Make sure you move ONLY one project at a time. If you have a subfolder of projects, please do each project one at a time (serially!)
Launch FCPX V10.0.7 and BE PATIENT!!! .. DONT click or fiddle with the UI.. it seems when you intervene it locks up as well…
Let FCPX V10.0.7 settle….
select the project you just added above and RELINK any objects it needs. Thumbnails and proxies will be rendered again.. just be patient
wait until ALL the rendering as stopped.
QUIT FCPX V10.0.7
(now if FCPX locks up, just force it out and start again as above).
repeat for all projects in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original" (go to step 4 ad do until all projects moved)
When all is COMPLETED MAKE SURE YOU ARCHIVE an instance (or make a backup ) of "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects"
If this procedure has worked the folder "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original" will have zero (nill, none) projects in it.
I have managed to restore ALL my "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" this xmas between drinking etc. I'm satisfied that its all ok.
Other issues:
use DISK WARRIOR or TT PRO 6 to make sure that the file system volume where your "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" are is physically ok. I noticed some entries in file system's volume table that represented objects in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" were at fault when I used these utilities… FWIW.
SUMMARY: yes this took ages to d, however luckily I had everything in at least 3 instances in an archive which has saved me many time in the old FCP& and prior days… it was just a matter of time to put it back together.
I put this outage down to may be my own impatience when I first fired up FCPX 10.0.7 after the upgrade.
I'm interested if this workaround is helpful to others and in addtiion if others have a more satisfactory remedy.

Hi Eb, yeah I could not see any "memory leak" or unusual consumption of REAL memory whose less availability would cause excessive PAGEing and SWAPping as seen in the Activty Monitor.app
I watch this carefully especially the use of REAL MEMORY by 3rd Paryy apps. BTW there are a few that cause ALLOCATED but NOT USED memory (blue in the A.M.app UI). Simply a unix PURGE command can release that memory and help clean up the PAGE and VM swap files (its alleged!).
Yes, you may be might with the element of "Luck" involved. I would add though, that having MULTIPLE project displaying in the STORYLINE window and loading always caused my FCP 10.0.7 jam up at startup with h symtoms and observations I described.
TIP: I might also add that for a super speedy launch of FCPX one may also emply setting each PROJECT's UI to show only AUDIO thus negating the need to contstruct or reneder out a PREVIEW ui in each clip in the storyline.
Your/Apples suggestion of the movememt (rename) of "Final Cut Pro Projects" to "Final Cut Pro Projects Hidden" is similar to what I proposed above to stop FCPX 10.0.7 accessing and building it up at startup. This workaround has been useful inthe past as well.
ALso one might also get the stick out and remove (delete/rm) the ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.FinalCut.savedState in one's home ~/Library so that FCPX wont do such a neat job reinstating FCPX last time you crashed it... This has been helpful also in diagnosing my issues.
Lastly I have noticed that:
impatience clicking on the FCPX UI when in the unstable state causes it to lock up with NO visible CPU% busy.... as if its waiting on something which is usually me MEMTERMing it via FORCE QUIT and
the projects where I have employed the NEAT VIDEO Noise Reduction OEM filter for FCPX seem to exasserbate the PROJECT loading issues when several PROJECTS are available at FCPX startup time.
As of yesterday I have some 400+ EVENTS Final Cut Pro Events and 130+ projects of varying compexites in a single file system on Final Cut Pro Projects all working fine and as good as gold again!
Oh and one more thing, I had to RE-RENDER many projects of them again... strange as the FCP PROJECT library was renstated from a recent LTO archive as of V10.0.6 FCPX.. strange that...I would have expected if the projects and events were 10.0.6/7 compatable as proposed by Tom, that this would not be necessary... hmm straneg that
I'll monitor this thread.
Thanks for your comments lads!

IPhoto 11 and 10.8.2 Hangs when loading library

Ok.. I have just done my 4th clean install of Mountain Lion in the last 3 months. Due to issues I've manually restored my iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie and Garageband content back to my new clean system and then opened the above mentioned programs.
The problem is that iPhoto will not get past the opening after I choose the iPhoto library.
My test account will open a blank iPhoto library. But the main user account just hangs when loading the library.
So far I've done the following.
Launched with Command and Option and rebuilt the library and used the iphoto library 3rd party tool to rebuild the library.
I've cleaned disk permissions.
I've run Onyx and cleaned the entire system.
I've trashed iPhoto and reinstalled iPhoto from the iPhoto 11 disk and then updated through the App store.
What else can I try? My iPhoto library is 54 Gigs and is all my digital photos of my kids since they were born 10 years ago.

One simple thing you can try is Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

My 64Bit Adobe CS6 hangs when loading a file

My iPad2 will sometimes hang when loading an mp4. Gives an error message then attempts to resync which hangs until I unplug the iPad.

My iPad2 will sometimes hang when loading an mp4. Gives an error message then attempts to resync which hangs until I unplug the iPad.
I have an iPad 2and have not had any trouble until I up dated my os. I have a pc with win 7. I do not sync since I have so much music on my computer. I synced my apps during the back up but I had to manually reload my music and videos. Since then I turned off all syncs.
Since I have to load all my movies on this has been happening. I get through about 4 movies then it will hang up. I eventually get an error message that it cannot load this movie. I then attempts to close out. This seems to hang. When I attempt to eject the iPad it attempts to sync and that never finishes. I pull the plug and that stops the sync but I have to restart the computer before I plug back in the iPad or it will not recognize it or it will attempt to finish the sync which never ends. It sometimes hangs on something with safari and site protection.
After I restart my computer I can put in 4 or so movies, including the one it hung on before, but it always hangs up again. Any suggestions?

I am having an almost identical problem and hoped that iOS 6 and the new iTunes would fix it. Regrettably, I again got 3 movies synced last night before iTunes locked up and gave me the xxxx cannot be synced "because the file cannot be written" message. Same deal with iTunes hanging on "finishing sync" after that and me having to remove the iPad from the cable to get things to come back to life on the PC (Win 7 64 bit).
I've also done a factory restore followed by a restore from backup and have the same problem.

Slight hang when loading Firefox 27.0.1 on Windows 8.1 Pro

I just upgraded from Windows 8 Pro to 8.1 and installed Firefox 27.0.1. Now Firefox has a fairly substantial delay when loading. When I say "fairly substantial" I mean about 6 seconds, every other program including IE is instantaneous and even Photoshop loads in about 3 seconds. I've tried everything I can think of, uninstall and re-install (including removing registry entries), turned windows firewall off, disabled add-ons, reset Firefox, etc, etc. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
if not work, try installing Ccleaner and clean all the options available to Firefox
Thank you.

Premier elements 10 hangs when loading on importingquicktime.prm

I am unable to use Premier elements 10 because it hangs while loading "importingquicktime.prm". It then goes back to the opening menu. Organizer works fine as does Photoshop, which was bought as a complete pack. I have the latest version of quicktime 7.7.1. I have checked my laptop and it has easily enough spec to cope with the programme.
I have been onto Adobe customer Support. Their technicians seems totally unaware of the probelm and seem to find it hard to grasp what is happening. They keep asking what error message comes up. There IS NO error message.
They got me to turn of all other programmes including the antivirus and to set up a new catologue in Organizer. Still the same problem.
I have spent so long on the phone to them that I will need a bank loan to pay for the phone bill. On two seperate occasions they have agreed to phone me back sometime during that day. Both times they failed to do so. It seems that they have a department called customer service and service is the last thing they want to offer.
I am surprised that Adobe seem not to know there is a problem as there has been a number of posts on this forum on the same subject.

For a quicker response, I'd suggest that you post your query on the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements

IPad Hangs when loading latest software

Hi,
Plugged in my iPad to my Macbook yesterday to charge it up and got a message saying there was a software update. I accepted and the software install hangs when about 95% complete. Tried it about 6 times now always the same result.
Is anyone else having this problem? any ideas how to get my iPad working again.
The restore function doesn't work as the only option you can select is restore and update software and it seems to be the latest software that is hanging.
Thanks
Steve

Delete the update file from "Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates" which forced it to re-download the update.

Flash Builder 4.5 Hangs When Loading Large Projects

I recently upgraded from Flash Builder 4.0 to Flash builder 4.5. I am running the 32 bit version of Eclipse Helios on windows 7, 64 bit. I have installed the latest 32 bit Java build, jdk1.6.0_25
Smaller projects and libraries appear to build and run fine. However when I attempt to load my main application, which is quite large, Eclipse Hangs for several minutes. Occasionally it will return after some time, but as soon as I move the mouse cursor again it hangs again. The last attempt had 1.8 Gigs of memory allocated to the eclipse process before I killed it.
Some other things I have noticed.
*) 4.5 does appear to be more sluggish for me generally than 4.0 for the demo apps I have built to test weather or not the install is working
*) If I do not attempt to actually open any files, I am able to clean the project and have it produce an executable
*) I have "build automatically" turned off, the problem does not seem to be initiated by the build. The problem seems to be something to do with loading large mxml files or files which include large mxml files.
*) The log files only complain about Eclipse being closed improperly (from me killing it aftter a prolonged hang) and about a collision with the ctrl+shift+G key combination
*) I have reverted to the original 4.0 plugin and the project still builds fine
*) Opening the stand alone flash builder 4.5 and pointing it at the same projects that work in 4.0 yields the same hanging symptoms as the 4.5 plugin version
*) I have juiced up my Eclipse memory settings and confirmed that they work quite well for my 4.0 build. My Eclipse.ini looks like:
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.1.R36x_v20100810
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product

-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
I am really interested in several of of the new 4.5 features. Any comments / suggestions welcome. I am out of ways I know how to trouble shoot this short of rebuilding my app up from scratch by adding components one at a time, which would take a very long time.
If it would be at all helpful, I would be happy to drop by the San Francisco office with my laptop to trouble-shoot this
-Chris.

When I run the application in the memory profiler under FB 4.0 it takes
about 80MB of RAM peak.
I can not get the app to launch out of FB 4.5.
I have reproduced this issue on two different machines running only Eclipse
both stand alone and the plugin versions.
My machine has 4GB of RAM, my typical usage is less than 2GB.
Right now with FB 4.0 I am working on the problem project and a few sample
projects and Eclipse is consuming about 600MB which seems normal to me.
The confusing thing for me is that everything works fine and is responsive
with FB 4.0 and the issue does not seem to be actually compiling the
application, rather it has something to do with how FB is parsing my source
code that causes the hang. Almost like somehow a circular dependency check
that used to work is now failing or something like that.
I am not sure how to find out what FB 4.5 is hanging on precisely. I can only
see that the logs look normal and memory usage climbs out of sight while it
is hanging.

IPhoto "hangs" when Loading Library

I'm having an issue with iPhoto, where, when I launch it, the app appears to open, but in the middle, where the photos are normally displayed, it hangs up saying "loading library", with the spinning gray cog wheel.
No photos ever load, yet the program never crashes. It just stays in this state.
I have opened iPhoto on a test users account, although none of my photos were present, but the app opened right up, leaving me thinking it's related to my normal user account.
I have tried trashing the iphoto plist preference from my user preferences folder, but that did nothing. Same thing happens...
iPhoto is version 5.0.4, and I'm running OS 10.4.11
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Jim,
Another test - create a new library in your regular user account and see if it works. Hold the Option key as you launch iPhoto, select "Create Library". Give it a different name so you don't overwrite your current library. Does a new, empty library open? Import some test photos and see if it works. If so...
It sounds like the database in your library is damaged beyond repair. Do you have an up-to-date backup? If not, you can try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It sometimes is successful when iPhoto's rebuild fails. Also, it creates a new library for the rebuild, so if it doesn't work you can just trash the new library with no harm done.
If iPLM can't rebuild the library, then you may have to start over with a new library. You can follow the steps under "Manual Rebuild" in the Apple article referenced above. Before you do, I recommend you read lori_diloreto's post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1853164. She describes an alternate (better) way to repopulate your library, and she details what you should expect if you follow her instructions.
Regards.

Extension Managers Hangs when loading

My extension manager stopped loading, please help.
Here is a screenshot of what I see and it never loads
I installed CC a few days ago and was working fine with extensions installed. Seemed to go a bit crazy when trying to install suitcase fusion and extensis. Both of these are gone now though and I've tried reinstalling Photoshop etc.
Thanks for your help!
Matt

Please generate log files and send them to [email protected]
1. In Terminal window, run the following commands in turn:
   cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Extension\ Manager\ CC/
   mkdir Log
   cd Log
   touch ExManCoreLibLog.YES
2. Open Finder, hold down "option" key, click menu "Go"->"Library" to go into the hidden Library folder, then go to its subfolder "Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log", check whether file ExManCoreLibLog.YES exists.
3. Launch EM.
4. After EM hangs, force quit it, send all log files in the Log folder above to us.

Safari hangs when loading web pages.

I'm new to the Mac and had my machine less than a week. However, I'm having problems with Safari/Internet. Generally it's fine, but from time to time Safari hangs and it can take a few minutes for it to spring back into life and load the desired web page. It's not the internet itself as I tested it on another device whilst experiencing the problem and could load sites fine. I can only think it's a problem either with some setting in Safari, or with the Mac's WiFi.
Has anyone experienced the same issue, or more to the point does anyone know how to fix it?

From the menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit, relaunch Safari to test.
Try Safari > Preferences - Privacy. Click Remove All Website Data. Quit, relaunch Safari to test.
If you installed anti virus software, disable that.
If you installed any Safari third party add ons, follow the instructions here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And try deleting the cache.db file.
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safar/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

Logic hangs when loading EXS samples on a session that worked yesterday?

I'm using Logic 8.0.2, I try to open session I was working on yesterday and it now won't open? it seems to not be able to find the EXS samples, as it hangs on the grey bars that show Logic trying to find the relevent samples. it takes forever to look and then eventually slips into 'logic not responding' when I look at the pre-force quit window.
This bug is making my life **** at the moment as I have very tight deadlines on picture work, it seems Logic 9 doesn't fix this as others have reported it so I don't want to use that until it's working without any bugs [ LOL! ]. I have 9 installed on a seperate drive when it's worthy of being used.
Been having this problem for at least 8 months now, I've tried 100's of times running disk utility, and preferential treatment I did try about 3 months ago running a spotlight utility but it didn't make any difference.
I have millions of samples spread on multiple drives, this has worked for me for years and years and only now has started to be a problem so 'moving your exs samples to a default area' is no use to me there must be another solution.
my system:
Logic Pro 8.0.2
OSX 10.5.8 [ 2x3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon ]
8GB memory
Powercore 3.2.0.38 [ for a powercore firewire ]
EuControl 2.0.3.63120 [ for a MC Mix ]
Motu PCI audio driver 1.31 [ for 24i/o, 2408, HD192 ]
hope someone can help.
I know there're other threads about this [ and it doesn't seem to be being fixed ], apple needs to realise the urgency of this problem.

I have 5 drives totalling about 2 TB of stuff which are my working non-application drives, when rebuilding spotlight index in Onyx the rebuilding takes about 5 seconds so I'm not sure that's actually doing anything at all?
this doesn't happen on every session I can normally re-open something but if it refuses to open I have to run disk utility and preferential treatment, restart and try again. this doesn't always work straight away, it can take like 3 x repeats of this / restarts until the session opens again which obviously is hugely disruptive with deadlines.
I heard that opening a session from 'within' Logic works better and I've been doing this but although it seems a little more reliable I'm still at the same point now where on average 1 in 4 sessions won't open and I have to go through the boring routine of disk utility, etc.

FCP X hanging when loading an event

After my external HD got disconnected while editing, I rebooted the program but FCP X is just hanging on the start up at 'loading "xxx" event' What can I do? Is the event corrupted?

yes, I think it could be that your even got corrupted. Try removing it for the even folder and put it on the desktop if FCP X loads ok then you have to delete the even. that what I had to do :-( ...thanks to apple

Firefox frequently hangs when loading websites with Flash video.

Firefox frequently completely freezes when viewing Flash video and the only way to release it is to manually kill the plugin-container process.
This have been verified with several Firefox versions, upto and including 3.6.10 and upto the lastest Flash release on systems running Windows 7 64-bit. This have been tested on multiple installations, different systems and on clean installations. However only tested on 64-bit HP systems so far.
Running Firefox with "Run as Administrator" enabled or with compatibility mode set to "Windows XP SP2" seems to solve the problem, but that solution is not good considering the security and performance problems following with that.

I have done some more testing and the problem seems to have been found:
Windows 7 64-bit with Firefox and Flash works fine until HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite is installed. That combination makes Flash video playback hang frequently. Uninstallation of HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite fixes the problem.
Flash video playback works fine with Windows 7 64-bit and HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite using the browsers Internet Explorer and Chrome instead of Firefox.
At the moment I can not tell if the error is with Firefox, Flash or HP Protect Tools.
I am using the latest versions of Firefox, Flash and HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite at the time of writing, including latest Windows security patches.
HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite installation file name used for this is sp48447.exe.
