GUI Hangs

For more than a year the GUI on my iMac (27-inch Late 2009) has hung once or twice every day.  The mouse remains responsive and the arrow cursor moves about the screen but nothing is clickable or selectable and the menu clock stops . The only way out is to hold down the power button and restart.
I've had Macs for 20 years and can usually solve my problems but this has me stumped. I can't reproduce the issue and there appears to be no particular culprit, it happens regardless of what applications are running and there is nothing consistent or of note in the Console logs.  I have doubled RAM to 8GB, upgraded with a clean instal from 10.8 to 10.9 (running 10.9.5 now) run first aid, disabled third party extensions (only running Flash Player, Java and MySQL now).
Any ideas, short of another clean instal?

Thanks Mike. 
It looks like A Better Finder was the culprit.  I thought I had disabled this from the system preference pane but it seems it was still loading.  I upgraded to the latest version six days ago and have not had a GUI hang since! 
Very happy this is unlikely to be hardware!

  • Non blocking socket: GUI hangs

    Hello,
    i have made a swing based GUI. It sends a request to the local server and the server keep sending response to it.
    Basically request is sent once, but response is in the form of stream.
    But my problem is that GUI hangs after getting the response from the server, because the socket is still getting the reponse. how can I get rid of this problem?
    regards,
    Saurabh

    Hi Saurabh,
    Tom is right, threads are the way. There is even a dedicated swing api (as far as i can remember), which lets you exec. lengthy tasks in a tread and be notified (the gui) when the task quits.

  • GUI hangs on multiThreaded desktop application

    Hello
    i have one application which is like eclipse editor, but it can open one file at one time.it directly read file from server machine open it on JTextPane on right side on the event on double click on JTree node on the left side like eclipse.
    some time file is too big so it take time to open the file on JTextPane, for i have to use the progressBar that show that openning file is on the way.
    So main issue is like:
    I used one Thread (ThreadOpen) to open the file on editor, which start an other Thread (ThreadProgress) to show the progressBar for openning the file. if i modify the file then there is event on tool bar to save the file on the server which also start a new Thread (ThreadSave) all is working fine.
    but when i try to open a file means start ThreadOpen and if at that time previous file (which was open on the JTextPane) is not saved menas ThreadSave is not started before starting of ThreadOpen, then whole application hangs on ThreadProgess which show the progessBar, i also try without ThreadProgess it also hang the whole GUI.
    first I think there may be syncronization issue {color:#ff0000}but whole GUI hangs when there is {color}{color:#ff0000}*NOT* starting of ThreadSave {color}{color:#ff0000}before starting of ThreadOpen if there was an already file open on the JTextPane.{color}
    It work fine if save the file first means Start ThreadSave and after it open a file means start of ThreadOpen.
    Any idea of Thead working in deep, please help..
    Thanks ---

    As i know the dead lock condition raise when there are two or more thread accessing the same resources,
    But in my cases as i described earlier when I does not save the file means NOT start ThreadSave before the opening file means start of ThreadOpen, then the whole GUI hangs..
    Means there is a compulsion that if there is any file already opened, then it must be saved before opening any other file otherwise GUI will hung up. It is forcing that start ThreadSave first then ThreadOpen if any file already opened.Others have said this, but it sounds like you are calling run() of a method, and not start. Either that or you do have a synchronized method that both threads call.

  • GUI Hangs with JAVA sneak preview

    Hello all,
    I have SAP NetWeaver 2004s Java Trial Version

  • SAP GUI hangs up - tree control

    Hi,
    I have written an ABAP program to display a report in tree format. This tree(designed using SAPGUI tree control) has close to 75K nodes. When I exit from this application(report), the SAPGUI hangs up. It takes about 25-30 minutes to exit this report program.
    Further analysis tells me that it is only the front end process and NOT the runtime of the program. I am using Windows.
    I am not sure how much this forum is relevant to this problem. But, any inputs on the reason for a slow performing GUI is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Hema

    There are some known performance issues with older patchlevels, since you neither mention, what GUI version you use and which patchlevel I would just recommend updating to 7.20 and the latest patchlevel and try again.
    If that doesn't help the only thing left is to decrease the amount of data being sent to the frontend.

    Example code goes a long way to getting an answer, also putting well placed print statements in will give you a fairly good clue on what is happening.

  • Network/GUI hangs

    Right,
    Doesn't happen in 10.4, does in 10.5.
    Wireless or Ethernet.
    Oddly, something already connected in the background (eg, streaming from internet radio etc) remains unaffected.
    It's as if negotiating a connection to a new IP or domain hangs the network interface or has a detrimental effect on the GUI.
    IPv6 ?
    I note there are numerous other issues that have been reported.
    Have Apple acknowledged the issue yet ?

    Sounds more like a DNS issue with your ISP than anything else.
    If your ISP's DNS servers are having problems, new connections will hang while its nameservers attempt to resolve the hostnames involved.
    Try setting up your Mac to use the OpenDNS nameservers and see if that solves your problem.

  • GUI hangs after it fail to pop up a modal dialog

    Hi everyone! I have a swing application that will pop up a log off confirm dialog (modal) when the user click on the "log off" button. It works fine for about 8 hours. Then when I click on the "log off" button, the dialog never pop up and the GUI is freezed, which means it does not react to user mouse click anymore, like a hidden modal dialog is in front. But actually there is no hidden dialog.
    At the same time, my windows XP freeze also. I cannot even open a folder. Then I kill the winrunner, and the XP is able to open a folder, but my GUI is still freeze. No exception behind and all threads are running. I can use some test script to control the GUI, but somehow it just never react to user click.
    Does anyone encounter the same problem and know the possible reason?
    Thanks!

    Hi motes_19:
    I have noteiced this as well in an application that I have created...however, my app doesn't freeze and the OS still runs (Win 2000). I suspect that your problem might be that you aren using the SwingUtilities.invokedLater() or SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait() methods to update your GUI. I am using them and still having some intermitten problems. Hope this helps you...if you have a solution for me, let me know.

  • Waiting socket or listening on a port makes gui hang

    hi
    as the subject describes i need a solution for this problem. Can any body tell me a solution.
    thanx alot in advance

    Connecting to a Socket is one of time consuming actions. They should be done in a seperate thread.
    See the SwingWorker class for more details.

  • Why does Bridge CS5.1 hang on load?

    Hello.
    I recently installed an SSD in my i5 2.4GHZ Macbook Pro 15" (8GB RAM, Lion 10.7.3), formatted, installed and updated Lion, and then installed CS5.5  So nothing out of the ordinary.  Everything is fine (Lightroom 4 is so slow I can't use it) apart from Bridge, which loads and appears to be working, but the GUI hangs.  I've tried Option-clicking from the dock and resetting everything, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing.  Mini bridge in Photoshop runs perfectly.
    As an example of what is happening, I load Bridge and click on 'Pictures' in the Favourites tab.  The title bar will reflect this but the blue highlight selection will not change, and the main panel will not show anything.  If I leave it for 15-20 minutes it will be as I'd expect.
    This only happens on my MBP, and only since installing the SSD.  Every other app runs much faster now (again, apart from Lightroom 4 which is useless in it's current state).  I've run Apple diagnostic tools etc, nothing found.
    Anyway, it's not a major deal as I can use the Finder for now, but it's bugging me.
    Cheers.

    Use the folder panel and choose the Pictures folder. See if this speeds things up. It normally should appear within seconds, sometimes building the filter panel takes a bit longer.
    Have you also tried to purge the cache for your pictures folder, select it in the folder panel, choose menu tool/cache/ purge cache for folder and let it build the cache again. Check if the problem is gone.

  • Mac OS X GUI keeps freezing

    Hello,
    Approximately once in every two weeks my Mac OS X GUI hangs. Applications are working, but I am unable to change them via command-tab, or via mouse click. Mouse pointer is moving. I am able to login from remote machine via ssh. Last time 'killall -HUP Terminal.app' helped (and earlier 'killall -HUP Dock.app').
    Any ideas what might cause this?

  • Here's the FIX for no GUI 7.7 issue

    Like many, I had the no-GUI/hang problem after upgrading to 7.7. After working with support, and fiddling around, heres the situation:
    7.7 wants to touch every song in your library the first time it launches. I suspect it's updating something in the library. I have 10,000 songs, and my library is on an Airdisk, so that's a lot of traffic. Like many, I wasn't patient and killed iTunes, which may have corrupted the library.
    Support indicated that there's separate problems with the software update version, so they had me reinstall from the manual download.
    Fast fix (i.e. avoid it):
    1) Delete iTunes.app (stop iTunes Helper in Activity Monitor). Empty the trash.
    2) Download and install iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes
    3) Reboot
    4) Have your library attached directly to the computer (for speed)
    5) The first time you run iTunes, be patient!
    If you've already tried, and had to kill iTunes, here's what I did to fix it:
    1) Do Steps 1-3 above
    2) Move the .xml file out of your iTunes library folder (~/Music/...) to the desktop
    3) Restore your iTunes library from your last good Time Machine backup prior to the 7.7 upgrade (you do run Time Machine, right?)
    4) Attach your library locally!
    5) Run iTunes and be patient. My locally attached library took 4-5 minutes to have the GUI come up. If you use a network it may take much longer.
    Now I can close iTunes, eject the library disk, put it back on the Airport Extreme, attach that volume, and iTunes comes up like 7.6.2 did - fast and stable. Still works after rebooting too.
    I'm not 100% sure if you need to restore your library from backup, but at the very least remove the XML file and give it a go.
    Good luck!

    Nope - and it was set to not look for them.
    The final clue came when I tried hooking the drive directly to the computer, instead of to the airdisk. iTunes still hung. Then I disconnected the drive and tried to run it, and iTunes came up right away - but with an ! next to each song. Clearly it was trying to find/touch every file in the library on first startup.
    I didn't try plugging in the drive and leaving the hanging iTunes running for more than a few minutes, so it's possible that it would have recovered and launched. But after removing the XML file, restoring the library to my pre-7.7 version, I could hear it accessing the directly attached drive (and see it in disk activity in the monitor) for a few minutes (less than I'd left the hanging one trying), before it came up.
    Conclusion:
    1) 7.7 is definitely trying to touch/see all the files in the library on first launch (proved by the ! when they are missing).
    2) Disconnecting/interrupting the touch/see MAY have corrupted something (can't prove it).
    3) Since touching 10,000 files takes a LONG time even at 802.11n speeds (let alone b or g), it's worth the hassle to plug the drive in directly for the first time.
    4) Patience is a virtue

  • SAP GUI Crash and/or hung up

    We have an application that emulate the user interaction with SAP application and use SAP GUI scripting (GUI for window) from VB module to interact with SAP application and perform various operations on SAP window. The operation performed during that exercise are inputting values, search a node in tree, search a value in table, input value in a table cell, click on button, send virtual keys to sap window, interacting with context menu etc etc.. Operations that need to perform on SAP GUI are organized into 'tests" and are performed in a serial fashion. A same test (sequence of operations) can be performed any number of times on a given SAP application.
    Lately, we have seen that either SAP Gui crashes or become unresponsive at random when a set of operations (test) are being performed iteratively on SAP GUI. The same test executed correctly many times but at random iteration it become completely unresponsive and hung up.
    Although, SAP Gui hang up occurred at a random iteration but we've noticed that if there were two sap instances on the machine then this behavior is noticed much earlier and it is almost certain to get to this sate if an ECATT is running in another sap window but still not able to establish a particular pattern and some time same tests were executed correctly in all the above mentioned scenarios. However, when problem occurred, it usually happen just after the operations that have caused SAP GUI to do a server round trip like click on button or scrolling a table etc but still it was quite random and was unable to establish a pattern.
    When SAP GUI hung up then not only it becomes completely unresponsive, but it also hung up any application they tries to interact with SAP GUI scripting object.  At this point, any attempt to make any references to any scripting object or even a fresh attempt to connect to scripting object model also hung up that application. The only way out at that point is to kill SAP Gui from the task manager and once SAP Gui killed then all application that was previously hang up start to resume execution!
    SAP GUI for Window  7.1 patch 7 and path 11 are being used.
    Any help shall be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Gary,
    You could also reach a point where your backend ABAP instance Kernel version plus SAP-BASIS component will have problems with a unsupported SAP GUI.  Your W2's will leverage an Adobe Document Server, ADS, or smart form technology.  You will experience rendering issues eventually.
    It's a vicious circle of Desktop Office Integration.  With Microsoft 8.1 and Microsoft Office 2013 there were a lot correction's pushed out in SAP GUI 7.30.
    Cheers,
    Dan Mead

  • Startsap hangs

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to start SAP (ECC 5.0 on maxDB 7.5)  with the statement startsap. The database is started succesfully.

    I hope someone recognizes this problem.
    Kind regards,

  • JTextArea hangs .... plz help

    i have made a gui using jframe(prog1.java). there is a JTextArea which is used for printing output. i have another class(prog2.java) which does all the computation and prints any output to the above JTextArea.
    what i am doing is ... first prog1 is executed and in that a thread is created which executes prog2. now if prog2 goes into infinite loop, it keeps calling append() method to append output to JTextArea of prog1. but due to this infinite loop, prog1 or the GUI hangs, and i am not able to click any menu button that i have made or do anything else in the gui.
    can anyone suggest some solution to overcome this.
    it is urgent :(
    tia

    which does all the computation do this in a separate thread, and when the textArea needs to be updated,
    wrap the append() in a SwingUtilities.invokeLater()
