Hang-ups and chaos in tiger?

Hello, Starting yesterday all of my programs started having the beachball rolling. I have had to forcequit all of them at various times. Sometimes I waited 20 minutes before they actually were usable. But once they are up, they are very slow.
I have repaired permissions and did do a techtool delux scan that came up with this message.
Surface Scan
Failed (Error = -4)
The Surface Scan test will scan the disk for bad blocks. TechTool Deluxe can map out the offending blocks so that they are not used in the future.
Media defects cause this test to fail. You should consider backing up the device, reformatting the media, replacing the data, and then testing again.
However, even my expose, and techtool end up floating the ball... I can get to email if I wait 20 minutes, so at least I can post this.
Any ideas? Never had this problem in Panther? And it is slowing my production down completely. Save me!? Any help would be deeply appreciated. thanks!

Hi Michael, I wouldn't worry yet. TechTool Deluxe is not compatible with 10.4 Tiger you should contact AppleCare for updated disks.

A lot of hang-ups and disconnected WRT120N in all installations with multiples Wireless Routers

i'm so tired, i have a lot of installations (school, university,..) that have various WRT120N (4,6,8,12,...) all routers have the latest (no is very new) firmware 1.0.0.4 build2, and in a installation all routers have the same SSID and diferents channel.
Every day all routers hang-up and the user need to stop and start every router.When a router hang-up this can't receive any ping, telnet,web,... across the wired LAN (ping timeout) but all links seem correctly and SSID is published.
I try another brand in this scenario and work fine.
I try to chat with linksys support but is'nt possible, nobody know my problem ?

Sorry I missed the Access Points description - I'm wondering - because there are so many routers - if there may be an issue with the channels and wireless overlap. One IEEE 802.11 "N" can typically communicate within a radius of 70m indoors 250m outdoors. However, the actual range of communication can vary significantly, depending on such variables as indoor or outdoor placement, height above ground, nearby obstructions, other electronic devices that might actively interfere with the signal by broadcasting on the same frequency, type of antenna, the current weather, operating radio frequency, and the power output of devices. I'm thinking that you will have to separate the channels on these ... I don't know for sure why the other routers worked - maybe only one was changed at a time instead of all the routers in the whole network ... at any rate if you have overlap on frequencies there may be something there ... especially when using these as AP's. I believe this router has the ability to change frequencies in the the advanced wireless settings under the wireless tab.
Just shooting from the hip here.

Hang ups and jerkiness in iMovie HD export to mini dv camera

I have a big problem-- while I am trying to export a TV show created in *_iMovie HD 6.0.3 (267.2)*_ to my *Sony DCR TRV-900*, which I have done many times.
Suddenly, there is jerkiness upon export to my camera. My iMoive video which plays back normally on the coputer looks jerky and almost slo mo while going to camera, and is also like than when the mini dv is played back. However the audio quality seems to be ok on the mini dv.
FYI, this show is made up of a series of Full Quality Quicktime chunks (ie individual scenes that I made and exported thru iMovie as Full Quality QuickTime, and then re-imported as individual Quicktime video chunks so not to tax the exporting capacity of iMovie too much).
The show is about 26 minutes, and the size of the iMovie file is about 26 gigs. The file resides on a Maxtor external drive with firewire 400.
I have plugged and replugged, turned camera on and off, and changed mini dv tapes a couple of times...
Does anybody out there know what is up with this jerky outputting problem?
Thanks
Michael in LA

Not sure why you should have this problem now, but you can export the entire movie as a new Full Quality Quicktime, and then reimport that into a new iMovie and export that new iMovie to your camcorder.
Just be sure you have enough free space on your hard drive where your iMovie is located.
.....that MIGHT be the problem with the jerking......how much free space do you have?

App store hang-ups

I've only had my iPad for a week but have already had a couple of problems with the app store. This morning, when I tried to download a couple of apps, the waiting box would just show up on the home screen with a blank loading bar. The same was true for an update I tried to install. Similarly, last week at the app store, anytime I tried to navigate somewhere I would just get a white screen with "Loading" and the spinning rays with no progress. In both cases, things seemed back to normal 15 minutes later or so. Also, in both cases, there were no problems with my wifi - I checked that. Are these kinds of hang ups and freezes normal for the store, or could there be some sort of problem with my iPad causing this?

I did a reset, which didn't immediately solve anything. The problem just disappeared about 15 minutes after it started. I wouldn't think it's a hardware problem since other apps and Internet connectivity all seemed to be working at top speed while the app store problem was happening. I guess I was curious if other people had experienced app problems in their time with their ipads.

Regular hang-ups both online and off

Have recently reformatted out of desperation!
This machine continues to regularly hang up despite the best efforts of HP's online help and a complete reformat. Is this processor just a dog? I've had numerous HP computers, but this is the first time I've not purchased an Intel product.

Hi,
Please explain what you mean by "hang-ups"?
What type of application causes the "hang-ups"?
Did you make any hardware changes to your PC?
Did you do a clean Window 7 installation or just used the HP recovery disks?
Did you run diagnostics?

What is wrong with FF it keeps closing up and numerous hang ups awful

I have so many problems with this browser - they just keep multiplying. Today, Firefox started closing by itself without my doing anything. This is added to the constant script running errors and other hang ups that constantly slow down my work and are driving me crazy. Maybe I'd just better go back to IE? I've tried your help "fixes" and they don't. Very frustrating.

Did Firefox crash?

Flash player hanging up and crashing on all web browsers. Problem turned out to be AMD drivers

I have been having a problem running Flash Player, green screens, hang ups, crashes etc on my machine. I tried various solutions and every major and some not so major web browsers all to no avail. I tried reinstalling my windows 8.1 no good also tried running 8 and 7 all 64 versions. No go I came a cross a post about a problem with Flash and AMD that seems to recur every nown and then. I have a AMD HD 6670 1 gig GDDR5 PCI-E 2 card so I tried going back through AMD drivers untill I was able to get it to function properly. Finally I ended up using the driver from Dec 2013 13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql along with the AMD Media Codec Package from Aug 2012 12-8_vista_win7_win8_32-64_xcode Flash is now playing with no problems. I thought I would share the solution I used in case it might help others.

I haven't run across this, though I did see a Firefox fileupload bug yesterday (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2980517). Would you mind opening a new bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please include URLs where you're seeing this behavior and we'll investigate further.

Server folder with lots of files hangs Finder and Terminal

I work remotely from home, and connect to my company's PC network using VPN software and Finder's Go -> Connect to Server...
Pre-Tiger, this worked fine. I could browse remote folders in the Finder, no matter how many files and other folders were contained in these folders...
Ever since I loaded Tiger, when I connect to a server and navigate to a folder with "lots of" files (I don't know what the number is, but I do know that one of the folders that is a problem for me has 130 folders in it), the Finder hangs up and has to be relaunched...
The same goes if I open a Terminal window and "cd" to the same directory... if I do an "ls", it hangs.
I repeat, I never had this problem pre-Tiger, and the folders have not grown in size.
Please help?
Thank you!

I think I solved it!!! After trying all sorts of copying from backups etc.... with no good result, I resorted to Cocktail and used the function in the second page called... System, under the Tab called Database 'Rebuild launch services database', though don't tick the box.
This fixed things for me!! Hope it works for you too.

HP 4540S sudden freezes, hang ups etc

Hello, i have quite a serious problem, and to be honest i can't really tell which would be the cause. My laptop keeps having immense lag or hang ups short time after i boot up the windows. The issue escalated proggresively , i mean from the point it could barely run a game ( Counter Strike Global Offensive) to be more exact , the hdd disk was 100% active like it was intensively used. Then it went to the point when the disk led was completly lit when in idle. And at the final stage it just couldn't boot up my windows again.
At first i suspected that is the hard disk and i replaced it . After a short time , couple of minutes, after i finished installing windows on my new hard disk, same symptoms showed up. Windows becomes unresponding, no matter if its during a process or in idle, the disk light is completly on. This lasts for like 2 minutes then it works normally for like 30 secs or 1 minute at most then it hangs up again. I did various checks, with the HP utility tool , the short and the long test , no hdd errors could be found ( it was quite expected given the fact this disk was brand new). I have no idea where the problem might come from . I don't think it's the motherboard controller( or at least i hope so, even the problem looks like it is a bad controller) .
What is interesting that i managed to update the bios to it's last version and the symptoms changed a bit. When the laptop hangs up the hdd disk is no longer lit, but the freeze is quite more aggresive. By aggresive i mean the explorer is completly unresponsive, the waiting time for things to come back to normal is higher, like 4-5 minutes, and the time is normally operating is somewhere around 10-20 seconds, half a minute if i'm lucky .
Laptop : HP ProBook 4540S
OS : Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium
Current Bios: F.60 A 15 Jan 2015
Previous Bios: F.50 REV A 8 Aug 2014
i can provide hard drives models too , the old and the new one if needed but i don't think it would be necessary.
What i've tried: Using the HP tool to diagnose memory and hard drive( both short and long DSM tests)
all tests where successfully passed
Using the Laptop on battery only or with battery removed . The symptomes were exactly the same so i don't think it's a power source issue
The laptop hasn't been dropped, nor opened before, didn't spit any kind of liquid on it. etc etc.
Warranty has expired
Fun fact is that i could make my old hard drive functional again after formatting on a different computer and using on it. So it's clearly not the disk, but something is, and i really hope you guys can help me out. Any idea what might cause this?

Qosmio x300 intermittent hang-ups

I have a new Qosmio x300 and have been having the same issue as described here:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=42058&tstart=0
The computer locks up and if sound was playing, it loops very rapidly for about 5 seconds.
It happens as well when the computer is idling,
If video is running, it freezes for the duration of the hang-up, also with a rapid audio loop, then after 5 seconds the sound resumes, but the video "smears" for another 5 seconds.
If a game is running, the game hangs up with a rapid audio loop. In worst case, the game also crashes after the hang-up has passed.
I have not been able to localize what has been causing these hang-ups, as they are not listed in the event manager at all.
I will also not purchase any additional third party software to track the source of the hang-ups, as I have already paid 1300 Euros for this notebook. If it has defect parts, I will be taking it back to the store I purchased it at for a full refund.
I would however, prefer to find what is causing the issue so that a solution can be found not only for myself, but all users who have a Qosmio with the same symptoms.
*edit* I have begun to check the hard drive with the HD Tune free version. After 25 minutes, the Temperature went from 42 degrees Celcius to 56 degrees. I do expect the drive to heat up during an intensive disc and error-check, but I thought I would include all information that could be relevant to finding the solution here as well.
The HD Check completed successfully with no indication that the Hard Drives have any problems. The heat also returned to 42 degrees after the test completed.

I have the same problem with my Qosmio X300 (PQX32E-04H02WGR). Anytime I'm playing games there is a blackscreen and a tuneloop.
I wrote a email to the toshiba-service in germany and they told me to make a new installation of windows, to install the new bios 2.1 and the new beta driver from nvidia. Even this all did not solve the problem.
So I ring up the german hotline and they told me that there is nothing more to do and that they don't know that problem. They sayed I could try playing the games in a reduced resolution and perhaps this could solve the problem!!!??? Yes... I buy a very expensive gamer-notebook to play with it in a reduced resolution - nice idear.
After I told them that I think it could be an overheating-problem they want to get the notebook to find it out on my own risk (I have to pay a service-charge if it is no overheating problem).
We will see...

HP Pavilion Elite e91804 experiencing lock-ups and crashing after LWSEP

1. Product name and number: HP Pavilion Elite e91804
2. Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
3. No error message (other than blue screen)
4. My most recent change was sending my computer in for the Limited Warranty Service Enhancement Program, and receiving a new motherboard.
Before I sent my computer in for the LWSEP I was experiencing lock-ups and crashes only when I was multi-tasking (playing video games, listening to music, and having tabs open in firefox).
So I sent my computer in for the LWSEP to receive a new motherboard to fix these crashes, however after receiving my computer from them, the lock-ups and crashing have not been fixed and, in fact, have gotten worse. My computer will now lock-up and crash whenever I attempt to stream anything, be that music, video, etc. I can still occasionally play video games, assuming that I am doing nothing else, and that my computer cooperates with me (not locking up), but this only happens about 1/3 of the time.
My main confusion is that sending my computer in was supposed to fix my problem, not make it worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPS and 2 power supplies

Out of curiosity, what happens if only one of the two power supplies is kept on UPS and the power goes out?

What do you think will happen?
The power supply connected directly to the main power will go offline.
The power supply connected to the UPS will stay up (as will your RAID).
Your UPS will start to drain.
Ultimately, if the power stays off long enough, the UPS will be unable to sustain sufficient voltage and the second power supply will go offline, bringing down your RAID.
Is that what you mean?
Note that the XServe RAID can have a fairly significant power draw. You need to make sure your UPS is sized sufficiently for your expected runtime.

Pop-ups and new tabs opening when I try to browse

Hello
I'm having trouble with pop-ups and new tabs for 'Mackeeper' among others, launching themselves in Safari on my MacBook Air. This has only just started after having the laptop for 3 months.
Operating system: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
Speed: 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Storage capacity: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I have tried troubleshooting by looking in 'Extensions' but there's nothing to remove. I've also tried Forum Member Linc Davis' advice, but unfortunately that's not working either.
I've tried all of the suggestions below, but nothing's working. It is driving me bonkers, so if anyone can help I would be most grateful.
Thank you
Jess

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
