Google Chrome Freezes!

I've been having major issues using Google Chrome to sign into my iCloud account. It keep freezes on me 4 out of 5 times. Anyone know what is going on?

I'm seeing reports on the Google Product Forum of users having this same problem with Chrome Version 34.0.1847.116 m. I have started to use FireFox, and so far I'm not seeing the problem.

Google Chrome freezes after being launched (w/ Yosemite software)?

After installing OS Yosemite on my iMac, I've learned that my Google Chrome (which is my main internet browser of choice) has been freezing periodically. This hasn't happened prior to the Yosemite download. The freeze only happens upon launching chrome, and only lasts about 5 seconds, to which it will then unfreeze and proceed to function as normal. All other programs work fine and the mac runs fine (the iMac is slightly a year old, bought in September of 2014). I just tried uninstalling Chrome and then downloading it again, however the same issue remains.

Only extension I have is Google Docs, and I've had that there forever. I've been using Chrome for a very very long time and this freezing started happening just recently (after installing Yosemite). Doesn't happen every time I launch chrome, maybe every 2 out of 5 times. It will freeze for maybe 5 seconds then unfreeze on its own and continue to work just fine. Still, not a big issue but becoming rather annoying.

Google Chrome freezes with the pinwheel until I move my mouse to the Hot Corner. Why?

Help me! I am using Google Chrome (Version 28.0.1500.95) on a Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 1.7.5) and it keeps freezing with the rainbow pinwheel of death until I move my mouse into the Hot Corner. Once it's gone to the pinwheel I can't use any other application until I move to the Hot Corner. It goes back straight away but it's getting to the stage now that it's freezing every 20 seconds.
Is it a virus or a problem with Chrome? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
Alex

A number of users have reported problems using Google Chrome. There seems to be an incompatibility with it and Mac OSX. I suggest that the simple solution is to uninstall Google Chrome and use Firefox, Safari or Opera instead.
Ciao.

Why does google chrome freeze and crash after installing mavericks?

I use google chrome and after installing mavericks my chrome started moving slower and slower until it eventually froze. The keyboard becomes locked and the mouse is just a pinwheel. Cannot click on anything or force quit. I end up powering it down and trying to start again. Any reason why?? Thanks.

Try reinstalling Chrome.

Why does google chrome keep closing unexpectedly?

My google chrome keeps on closing unexpectedly after a few hours of use. It can be reopened again no problem, but just very annoying to lose all the tabs I had open when I am working. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok), and a fresh clean install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
I believe its related to overheating ?

The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

I have restored this

TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes

Then follow this defrag method I've outlined

There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists.

My macbook pro freezes in safari or google chrome or just shuts down all together

My MacBook Pro freezes constantly when using Safari or Google Chrome. I have to reset to continue with anything.
It happens more often when using Java to play games and sometimes just closes the browser.

I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder. in the dialogue box type
/var/db/crls
In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash. It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards. I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process. It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem. Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.

Videos freeze after 5-7 seconds, no audio at all - Google Chrome

Win7 x64
Google Chrome 21.0.1180.60 m
Flash version 11.3.31.222
My os is 64-bit, but the "what version of flash are you running" window says it's 32-bit. Which strikes me as odd. Anyway,
Problem is basically laid out in the subject. No matter what video I try to play, it freezes after a few seconds. There is no audio whatsoever. I tried the uninstall (using the uninstaller) I found in another Flash forum, but it didn't help. As a matter of fact, running the uninstaller made no difference at all. Videos still played for a few seconds, sans audio, then froze.
Is there a fix for this? It only started happening yesterday.
Update: Also happens in Firefox. IE works fine.

Our Chrome browser not only automatically updates it's version (21.0.1180.60m) without notice , but the Shockwave Flash (11.3.31.222/ 11.3.300.268) plugins too!!!
I had to disable 11.3.31.222 along w. 11.3.300.268 and have 11.2 r202 (11.2.202.235) solely enabled again because this time, i had 'shockwave plugin unresponsive' at some websites that stalled pages, and of 11.3.300.268., 'unresponsive shockwave plugin' refused to play YT.
*type: chrome://plugins in address bar in chrome - click the + on the top right
And enable/disable plugins
I think d/l's here might very well work: http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php
or, directly
(Although it seems some are not happy w. crashing browsers and such with 11.3.300.268 version!?)

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.

[SOLVED] Google chrome/chromium freezing when typing in address bar

Hello again everyone, sorry to bother you.
Im using Arch 64 bit + kde.
Recently my chromium began freezing at random when I begin typing in the address bar. Since it persisted after several updates I installed google chrome beta from AUR, and the problem persists there. I've tried deleting the configuration directory to no avail.
I am a web developer and therefore this is kind of extremely annoying, I need more browsers than just Firefox so I thought about asking your help, are there any of you with a 64 bit arch system in which chrome works flawlessly? Did you do anything special?
Im beggining to think this is a chrome bug:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/C … 253b&hl=en
I found as well an old thread here in the forums:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129632
But I decided to not be a thread necromancer.
My google chrome version is: 18.0.1025.39 beta
My chromium version is: 17.0.963.56
I'm willing to recompile this thing if you think that will help, but I've heard horrible stories about compiling chrome. Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

yes, my card is nvidia 8600GT.
This morning I spent a few experiments.
1. I noticed that if you run full-screen application (game), then when you try to switch to the console - is a black screen without text, a problem arises as in KDE and in xfce, if you switch to the console without running full screen applications, the when switching to the console you can see the shell prompt to login (enter your login and password), both in KDE and in xfce.
I tried to remove the option "VGA = 773" from the boot parameter has the kernel (GRUB), and the problem with switching to the console was gone.
2. I made a nvidia-xconfig, creating a file /etc/x11/xorg.conf, rebooted (with the VGA = 773), and logged in to KDE user denis (yes my name is Denis too ), the name of my new account, the name of the old - user0), and the Problem with switching to the console was gone, at least for now.
I think that the Problem with chromium somehow connected with the fact that the video card is Nvidia and its mode of operation, which hurt when you log in to your account.
How does chromium in KDE in your account until Dennis, I have not tested that particular - will be tested, the result accomplish your goal.
So try to remowe vga=773 from kernel line, and and see how it will work chromium.
But i still dont know, why chromium work fine in xfce, but freezing in KDE...

Downloaded Google Chrome and computer freezes

A week ago I downloaded Google Chrome and have noticed that if I leave Chrome open when the computer goes into sleep mode, that it freezes up. The only way to unlock it is to power off. Is this common?

It could be a Google problem or a MacBook problem. The cause is uncertain but you can read more about it in this thread:
New 2012 Macbooks, Google Chrome, and Kernel Panics
and this Google forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/chrome/mac/VeMcAm13LkE

Google Chrome causing system to freeze

Google Chrome has been sporadically causing my system to freeze. It may work fine for a few days, or for less than twenty-four hours. Without warning, the browser will suddenly begin reading and waiting on its cache, and become unresponsive. When I try to force quit the application, the system locks up and Finder will freeze but imputs are still responsive, causing me to have to do a hard reboot. Once rebooted, Spotlight re-indexes my hard drive [which I believe is a separate issue (mdworker unable to talk to lsboxd)]. This only occurs with Google Chrome and is not replicable with other browsers or applications.
I have cleared all caches and reset my PRAM and SMC controller, but the issue persists. Any thoughts?

There are several "shared libraries" in the Extensions folder. There is also "Shared Library Manager" (and "Shared Library Manager PPC") which are not shared libraries themselves, but provides support for using shared libraries. Since you know the extensions, can you post back with their exact file names?

My macbook's performance is quite slow and it freezes I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips?

I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips? I contacted a support member but unfortunately my warranty has run out, he suggested that may be a result of putting the mac into sleep constantly, and not shutting down and that there may be files i can clear to remedy the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Regards.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

Dear All,
Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
