G5 keeps freezing. Even after we had it "repaired" at the shop.

We have a Dual 2.5 G5. It started freezing and having problems so we took it to the local Apple Authorized Repair Center. They said it was either the logic board or the processor(s). Took them a couple weeks to find a new motherboard and they installed that and said it was fixed.
I get it and take it back to the shop and plug it in. Fans are all running WAY too high (and loud). I figure, oh well, at least it works. Well, then it freezes up the next day. I reboot and it works for a few ours and then freezes. I do the same and it freezes after a couple hours. I turn it off over night and the next day, I turn it on and it runs for a little while and then freezes. I take it back to the shop. The guy says he's run all the tests on it and the software keeps coming back saying everything is fine. He has it for about a month, fails to call and let me know he's "fixed" it so I call and they said its ready to pick up.
The tech sheet said that it runs fine but the fans are running a bit loud.
I get it back and yea, the fans are still running loud but at least it works. WRONG. Couple hours go by and it freezes.
BTW. When it does freeze, then all the fans kick go up slowly to like 100%. Sounds like a jet engine in here when it does that.
So, any ideas? We paid about $500 for the new logic board and installation.

If the shop is in any way reliable, they should take it back and work on it again. They have to stand behind there work.
As far as power goes, I doubt it seriously.

Why does my Ipad screen keep freezing even after rebooting

My ipad screen keeps freezing and remains stuck. So in the last hour this has happened 3 times after hard "reboots". Can someone explain whats going on? Uwas not downloading anything ..only looking at Facebook.

Hello, Nina1711.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test the responsiveness of the iPad after processing these steps. If the issue persists, check to make sure you have space available on the iPad in Settings/General/About. If there is no space available you may want to remove unwanted Apps or media as this can cause the unit to become unresponsive. If these steps have been processed with the issue persisting, you will need to restore the device. Make sure to backup the device prior to restoring.

The screen on my Iphone 5 keeps freezing even after restoring factory settings and downloading latest update.

Hi
The screen on my Iphone 5 is consistently freezing. I have restored the factory settings but that didn't work. I have downloaded the latest apple update. Not sure what else to do or if it is a known issue? It happens on any screen, even the lock screen and the only way to unfreeze it is to press the top button to switch to sleep mode then click the round button and enter in my pin again. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Restore the phone as new, and do not restore anything from a backup.
If the phone still doesn't work properly, you will need to bring it to an Apple store to be evaluated as it most likely has a hardware issue.

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, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iPad 4 keeps freezing even after I restart it, and close all the apps. What can I do to keep this from happening?

My iPad keeps crashing, and i don't know what to do. I've tried restarting it, closing all of the apps, and deleting apps, but this problem persists. What do I do?

Hello ingco,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken and any other steps you have already taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

IPhoto Keeps Quitting Even after Deleting Plist Files Repairing perm Files

When I try to launch iPhoto The page seems to begin to load then I get a box saying " The application iPhoto has unexpectedly quit". I tried to troubleshoot by deleting the iPhoto plist files and then I repaired the permission files.There is still no change.
What else can I do? Thanks very much for your help!

Glad to help, but I think you worked the magic Sally. Deleting photos from the Desktop is harmless to iPhoto, and doing the same again should not be a problem. Maybe it was the overfull disk that initially caused iPhoto to think, 'I don't have enough space here to open, so I'll crash.'
It works like this. If you connected a camera and imported them into iPhoto, then that is the only place those photos reside and to delete any of them afterwards would have to be done in iPhoto where you would select a photo, then Move to Trash. This would keep the index straight.
But if you had some photos on your desktop and imported them into iPhoto, it makes a copy of them inside the iPhoto Library. If you were to delete one of those photos from the Desktop, it would still show in iPhoto because its copy still exists in the iPhoto Library.
So when you reported the problem arose after your deleted some photos, it made me think along the lines I did. But as you didn't muck about with the iPhoto Library folder's contents, you could not have damaged it. So you haven't done anything to wreck things. Maybe iPhoto was just choking from a lack of space.
It's great your photos are still all there. Now, with that copy of your iPhoto Library - put it on a CD for safe keeping. Games, software, info from websites, even songs can mostly be replaced if need be, but one's photos are unique and deserved to be backed up, to either another hard drive or burnt to an optical disk.
A tip: I suggest you create a new folder in your Pictures folder called say, ExtraShots (name it what you like) and put your photos there instead of the desktop. Doing so is not crucial, just tidy, and there is a slight advantage that your computer will run quicker if the Desktop is uncluttered.
Not a tip: Do keep your hard drive down to less than about 90% full / at least 10% "available free space" as Macs like room.
All the best, and I hope you take some great photos.

I bought my iPhone 5 three months ago and it keeps freezing, especially after making calls. What is the problem?

Not sure what to do. Will Apple Support cover it? Will it need to be replaced?

I have had the same problem. Between 8-10 minutes into a call the phone freezes and drops the call. I cannot do ANYTHING for about 45 seconds while it says CALL ENDING. I cannot use the phone at all and if anyone tries to call me it goes straight to VM. I am on my 3rd iPhone 5 now due to this issue and another issue of a bad speaker. I have restored, restarted, spent hours setting it up as a brand new phone all for not. It still drops the call and freezes. Makes me so mad.

Plastic hinge keeps cracking/popping after I had cleaned it with the black cloth the laptop came with

i dont know why this is happening, but this is my 3rd macbook pro as a replacement and the cheap quality control is rediculous for something worth 2000 dollars. Ive had this thing for 2 months and it was flawless until i had decided to wipe off the debris on the hinge last night and all day, its been popping/cracking by itself ever since or whenever i close the laptop or adjust the screen or whenever i move the laptop if i let it sit there for a few minutes without touching it, it will pop by itself. its the same noise whenever you run your finger across the black hinge band and its coming from both sides randomly
did i just screw myself cleaning it? yippee, what should i do now?

Hi Hallry,
Let's free your device! It's important to have a properly working device. Have you attempted an alternate Hard Reset on the device http://vz.to/19r2DOO? If the alternate Hard Reset does not work, then the device would need to be replaced. How long have you had this device? Any liquid or physical damage to the device? Keep me posted

I am doing a cover for O.M.G. by usher and it requires 4 to 5 different vocal layers. My first "line" of vocals keeps disappearing even after i save it. So I have to redo everything on the top line. Any help?

I am doing a cover for O.M.G. by usher and it requires 4 to 5 different vocal layers. My first "line" of vocals keeps disappearing even after i save it. So I have to redo everything on the top line. Any help?

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?

Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?
This means it doesnt sync the server inbox, only keeps pushing new emails!
How to force it to realy sync every time the server inbox, and just show me in the iphone inbox exactly what i see in the server inbox???

I'm just fresh in iOS, but dont think its a POP/IMAP matter.
Always used mobile push email apps on symbian and android with POP and never had this issue.
My usual former scheme is:
a) My main email client is Outlook at my laptop (POP). This one is the master email client and after download new emails deletes them at the server.
b) My secondary is a mobile email client (also POP) - just to see whats going on and maybe reply here and there.
Meaning, laptop does cut/paste and mobile does copy/paste
So:
a) If i download a new email first using my laptop, it will never be pushed latter from iphone (its not there anymore).
b) If i download a new email first using my mobile app, and only then download it with laptop, it is still there available, and then gets deleted at the server.
c) If i download a new email first using my mobile app and if i manualy delete it and then perform another sync, then this email is deleted at server, and will be no more available for download to laptop.
Resuming:
1- The laptop ask to server what's in the inbox, downloads it all and then order the server to kill them all.
2- The iphone only ask whats new and downloads it all.
3- The iphone SHOULD ask server what's new, AND ask server what was removed from server inbox since last sync, AND tell server wich emails were removed at iphone since last sync.
As far i remember, at least one symbian app called Profimail does all this quite perfectly...
Any ideas?

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
What can I do?
How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
Thanks

Hey StephSassine,
First, I would run through these steps:
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
Increase disk space
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select the disk you want to check.
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version

Sincerely,
Delgadoh

My ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it

plz i need help....my ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it...plz send me email to [email protected]

If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod do that. If yuo are still having problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likely have a hardware problem.
You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.

Help! I have been using Mountain Lion but Finder and the App Store won't load and keeps crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?

You need to check to make sure you are actually connected to the network. Tap Settings > WiFi >and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with checkmark. You should see a complete set of IP address but if the router didn't issue you an IP address properly, you will see your touch IP address start with 169.x. If this is the case, you are connected to the internal network but not to the web.
First thing to do (while you are on that screen) is tap "Forget Network". Then turn WiFi off. Turn it back on and, if needed, tap Other and re-enter your network information. If you continue to have problems, check with your IT department on Monday.
In the meantime, your laptop and iTunes can be used to purchase apps and music. Syncing them with your touch is a great way to get them installed while you are waiting for the answer on your WiFi problem.

G5 keeps freezing. Even after we had it "repaired" at the shop.
