GB 4 Freezes HELP

Hey gang,
I just installed iLife 08 into my G5 iMAC (2 Ghz Power PC) every time I try to play/record/mix/ a song (previously recorded from GB3) the application freezes.
I've repaired all of my permissions and even Main Menued the **** out of my computer...is this a flaw in the upgrade? I've seen demo's of GB 4 and it looks fantastic, I just can't seem to get it to work with the songs I already have recorded.
Please help, and explain it to me like I'm 3 as I am not a tech savvy individual.
It's very frustrating, thanks for your help.

I have the same problem. Just installed iLife 08 and have found the Project button selection causes garage band to appear frozen. The menues simply blink when clicked on and I have to resort to Command Q to quit GarageBand.
Other than that it seems to be working fine.
Machine is iMac Core Duo and humms for everything else!
Would love a solution!!

Seems it may be a user related issue?

Photoshop CC 2014/Intuos tablet causing PS to freeze, HELP!!

Hi folks,
I've recently run into a serious issue that has stopped my workflow in its tracks. It has to do with some bizarre incompatibility issues between Photoshop CC 2014, Wacom Intuos tablets and Windows 8.1. I do not exactly know which one of those is the culprit, so here are some details.
The issue occurs whenever I use any keyboard shortcut involving the control key (step backwards is the big one) and the brush tool at the same time. If I try to make a brush stroke before fully releasing the shortcut keys (especially longer brush strokes), Photoshop completely freezes. It stays frozen until I move the stylus far away enough from the tablet that it no longer detects hovering; after a moment, the program will begin to function normally again. This doesn't ALWAYS happen; it seems to be more common when working in a document with many layers. If I open a new blank document, I can't get the glitch to work at all, but if I create a stack of layers with a few brush marks in each, the glitch can be reproduced easily almost 100 percent of the time.
Some more details:
-It happens with all Intuos drivers currently available via Wacom, including the ones on the legacy drivers page.
-The glitch is ONLY present in Photoshop CC 2014, not in older versions. However, I do not wish to roll back because I am working on a Surface Pro 3 and want to be able to pan and zoom using touch, which was only introduced in this version.
-It happens on all computers running Window 8/8.1, as well as the Windows 10 Technical Preview (I work for a tech company and have access to all varieties of test machines). Curiously, it does not seem to occur in Windows 7. I am able to reproduce the glitch immediately on every non-Win7 machine I install PS CC 2014 on. However, I require Windows 8+ for its touch-friendly features on the Surface.
-The glitch happens with (seemingly) all Intuos tablets, not just my Intuos 3 tablet. I actually purchased a new Intuos 4 from Best Buy to see if that would resolve the issue, but it persisted exactly the same.
-It does NOT occur when drawing on the screen with the N-Trig pen that came with my SP3 -- it ONLY occurs when using a Wacom tablet.
And here's the big one:
-De-selecting "Use Windows Ink" under the "mapping" tab in my Intuos settings causes the issue to go away entirely, but also disables pressure sensitivity, so this is not a viable option.
My suspicion is that this is some weird incompatibility between Photoshop CC 2014 and the Windows Ink API (my understanding is that this version of Photoshop ditched the old Wintab API for Windows Ink). Hopefully it will be ironed out in a future PS CC update.
In the mean time, does anybody have any ideas? I'm also posting at some Photoshop forums, but I figured someone here might be able to help. This is driving me absolutely up the wall.

You fail to mention which Wacom Intuos and which Wacom drivers have installed. I do not have your problems on my Windows 7 Workstation or my Surface Pro 3 Windows 8.1 with the Intuos Pro with Wacom version 6.3.11w3 device driver. I have no problem using Shortcuts like undo and redo or using my intuos gestures for them here is my PS system info for my surface Pro 3

New Macbook Pro 2012 keeps freezing (HELP!!)

It keeps freezing, it happens after a few hours, sometimes after a few minutes!!
First, the app (google chroome, safari, skype) and then, the finder... I can move the cursor but it doesn't respond, the beach ball won't stop spinning and I had to force shut down by holding the power button (not once...two, three or four times a day)
I've done everything, disk utility almost every day (repair permissions), resetting the pram... I don't know what else to do... I was thinking about buying 8GB RAM (2x 4) but I don't want to waste my money if it's not going to work...

try disabling Sophos, to see if that makes a difference.

Mac keeps freezing help!!!

Im have huge problem right now. I have only had my mac for about a month and this is the first real problem i have come across. I shut down my mac for a few minutes because it was freezing on me. I come back and reboot it up, login, and when i get to my desktop it asks me to send a report because of a problem, but everytime i do this a message comes up on the screen and says i have to restart the computer by holding the power button and press it again to turn on. I have done this several times it has always ended up with the same result either the computer freezes and i have to reboot or I send the report and the same message comes up telling me to turn off the computer. what is wrong and what do i need to do to fix it

There is a better (macbook pro) forum for this.
Never want to just restart without doing a Safe Boot, or use Lion Recovery instead and Disk Utility. Plus you may need to reload the OS or restore or both.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
http://www.apple.com/support/lion/installrecovery/
Need to find why it froze first off and go from there, but also to fix and repair the directory that can happen from forced or hard restarts.

My iPod keeps on freezing, HELP!!!

everytime i plug my iPod into my iHome to charge it and listen to music it freezes up. i take it out and try to reset it, but it keeps on going back to the main menu and freezes. i left it alone for awhile but it makes this buzzing noise like it is still on. i keep trying to reset it but it makes this noise and the screen turns all black. it does not go to the black screen with the apple in the middle, or to the menu screen.
any help will be much appreciated. thank you!

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
- If still problem, see it iTunes nows sees the iPod so you can restore the iPod.
- Next see if placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovry mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, try DFU mode and restore.

IDVD 08 Keeps Freezing, Help!!

So about 2-3 months ago, I had the same problem with my iDVD 08 and I tried everything to fix it. However nothing worked for me and after countless calls to apple, I just gave up on the application. Now I find that I need this application because of the media projects I am working on. I'll do my best to explain the problem.
When I open iDVD 08, it displays the normal start menu (new project, open project, etc.) and I click new project and a window pops up, displaying the normal: Save As:.................. and Where:..........
When I click ok, the application stays open, but I don't see a window. When I attempt to close iDVD, it freezes and I have to force quit. I sent those problem report things over 10 times now and I've tried every thing that apple has told me to do. I've tried deleting the old themes, reinstalling iDVD 08, but nothing seems to be working. I'm sure that I'm not the first person with this problem because I've visited other forums with people asking similar questions (no, there were no responses to those questions). Any advice?

Suggestion: let's try setting up a separate user account and launching / running iDvd from the new account (if you haven't already).
Adding a new user account to your computer
You can create individual user accounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Click Add + and type the user's name.
If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.

Open & Save causing Indesign CS2 to Freeze - Help!

Hello
Setup: I've been using a single user edition of InD CS2 for a couple years on the same machine, was running latest update v4.05 but have since downgraded to 4.0 to try to solve my problem. This is on Windows XP SP3 on a updated system running with no other issues. I had not used InD in the last few months but have made no major changes to my system.
Problem:
1) InD loads fine, But if I try to Open a File by using the File-> Open method InD Freezes. (trying to open existing indd files that worked fine before and were created on the same machine with existing install)
Note: I CAN open a file by using the Browse option and I can edit and use all features once I open a file this way. Can also create a new document without apparent issues.
2) If I attempt to Save a file (edited or not) using the File-> Save or File-> Save As, InD freezes
There is No Error Message. Does not effect the computer or other programs, I can continue to use the system with no issues, but the InD window remains there frozen with the menu options greyed out. Only way out is task manager->Quit.
Steps to Fix: Tried some other 'freeze fixes' like deleting Adobefnt10.lst files, Turned off font preview with no luck.
Reinstalled over current version.
Uninstalled then Reinstalled.
All help appreciated! - Much Thanks!
if any other deatils are helpful please let me know...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. After wading through all the Q&A about the Missing Dialog and Multiple monitors problems and trying a few things which didn't work I remembered a program I use occasionally and this solved my problem.
Theres a great utility called CCleaner which among it's 'cleaning' options resets the window positions for various applications. url is same as the name of the app.
I ran this and my Open/Save windows have returned!
Thanks again for your help

Yellow lines and some purple around the screen, and freezing, help?!

hi i have an iMac G4 First generation, and lately, the computer has been malfunctioning in the strangest way;
its been either crashing and freezing up, OR invaded by yellow and orange lines all around the screen... i tried a clean install of system software and still no luck at all. i took out the extra ram that was in there, and still hasnt worked. yellow and orange still appears around the screen, and sometimes, the mouse seems to have black bars forming a square shape over it.
please help if anyone can. i would love to find a solution available that doesnt involve having to bring it in and replace hardware, however, i know that it is probably unlikely to be able to
these yellow marks around the screen are frightening!
thanks!
hope someone can help me

When trying to install iTunes onto my computer Windows 7 64 bit the downloads keeps freezing - help

Help - have tried several times to download iTunes onto my computer and it keeps freezing - sometimes gets to 67% then just freezes all together - have been trying for nearly a week now

maybe you can let us know what the error message says. I would say you need to make sure you completely uninstall any previous iTunes installation/component first. Follow this guide:

MacBook air keeps freezing. help please!

I have recently purchased a MacBook Air and every time I go to watch something on Skygo it keeps freezing. There's nothing I can do. No buttons work, I can't reset it and if I shut the screen down it remains still running. The only option i'm left with is to wait until the battery runs out then I start it up again. This has happend 3 times now and I have only had the Mac just over a week. Can anybody help me please?

To perform a forced shutdown, hold the power button for about 10 seconds. If this is the only time your computer is crashing I'd suggest first using a different browser, maybe FireFox instead of Safari (or Safari instead of FireFox). Since I don't know how these videos are delivered (Flash, QuickTime streaming, etc) I can't make any suggestions there but you might have some luck with Skygo's tech support.

Mail tries to index, then freezes - help!

Hi there everyone
I've had a bit of trawl around here looking for a solution to my problem and it looks like my inbox is overstuffed (about 700MB) but I can't get mail to stay operational long enough to delete anything before it hangs. It starts to index and when it reaches around the 1500th message it freezes (always a different message that it crashes on). I've no idea how to proceed and it's a work machine so there are loads of business related mails on there that I need access to.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Alan.
Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and assuming this is a POP account, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Locate INBOX.mbox and move it to the Desktop.
4. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish, e.g. Inbox (without the .mbox suffix).
5. Ctrl-Click on INBOX.mbox and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual popup menu that appears.
6. Copy the files mbox and Incoming_Mail from INBOX.mbox to the newly created Inbox folder. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present. Copy these files rather than just moving them, so that you keep the original mailbox intact, just in case.
7. Open Mail. A new empty INBOX.mbox will automatically be created within the account folder, and this will let you continue using Mail normally.
8. Do File > Import Mailboxes. I'm not sure what the import options available in Mail 1.3 are, but you should choose Other / Standard mbox, or something like that. Follow the instructions to import the Inbox folder created on the Desktop that contains a copy of the mbox and Incoming_Mail files.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

AE CS3 layers + timeline disappear and app freezes - help!!!

I am on a Mac Xeon 8core running Leopard.
as of several days ago, for no apparent reason (no QT updates, no software updates of any kind), AE CS3 started acting crazy, with freezes after layers or the timeline in certain comps would not show up. This was random, as well: not the same comps would have problems each time I relaunched the app. and sometimes, there is no problem at all. In other words: Buggy.
I did a clean uninstall/reinstall from the DMG, things were better briefly, and now it's happening again.
Any help would be VERY appreciated.
Thank you.
Marina

Mmh, sounds more like a generic breakdown on the operating system level, possibly some issues with Quartz composer and/or the OS loosing track of your screen configuration. Have you looked into that?

Keyboard & Mousepad Just Freeze - HELP PLEASE

Hey all,
Well, maybe it's a known issue but still I couldn't find any solution for this. I have a MacBook Pro 2.53 Core 2 Duo, 4GB. Running Leopard OSX. During working around with the mac and internet, the keyboard & mousepad just freezes - sometimes I wait a while (30-40 seconds I guess) and it comes right back, but sometimes (and lately most of the time) it freezes and doesn't come back no matter how long i wait for it, up to a point where I have no choice but to restart by holding the power button long enough. Besides the fact that this is very unhealthy, any work I got is just lost (if unsaved ofcourse).
ANY help would be great.
Thank's alot.

Hi
Have you had a little spill recently? One you may not know about perhaps? It's also possible the Top Case has developed a fault? Or at least the trackpad and keypboard parts of it has.
Something you could quickly try is create another admin account. :ogin with it and see if the problems remains. If it goes away login with your account and create an untitled folder on the desktop. Navigate to your /Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder select all the files except for com.apple.mail.plist and com.apple.dock.plist and put them into the newly created Untitled folder. Restart the mac. If any application or utility thereafter moans about a missing preference file/.plist you can easily pop it back in.
If there has been no spill and if the problem persists and if the laptop is still under warranty take it to your nearest Apple Repair Specialist. They should be able to diagnose and troubleshoot it further for you as well as replacing the parts.
