Hangs and problems with 10.7.4 on black MacBook 2,1 (2007)

Installed 10.7.4 through software update on my black MacBook 2,1 (2007) w/ 3Gigs ram installed and over 133Gigs free of a 500Gig hd and used it frequently for several weeks. During this time my MacBook experienced very long app launches and in almost every case beach ball hangs with all apps. The hangs could last minutes in some cases and in other cases the applications would quit. I am a long time mac user and have never experienced anything like this before. System Monitor would show very high cpu use and fan would wind at full speed with just a single app like Safari opening. I downloaded the combo updater of 10.7.4 and installed it to see if it would help without luck. I tried all the usual fixes..PRAM, repair permissions, repair HD...etc. I gave up last night I restarted command-r and installed a time machine backup of 10.7.3 from 5/9/12. I am happy to say my MacBook with 10.7.3 is back in place, behaving properly and is as snappy as I would expect from a 5 year old computer. I submitted feedback to Apple on this issue but I wondering if anyone else is experiencing these issues.

You can download the standalone updates:
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update

I have a problem with Imovie. Just brought an macbook 15 retina , iLife install and Imovie was working. I than did a data migration from my old macbook pro and now it crashes on start up. I tried to re-install from app store but no option to re-install, just installed and it greyed out.

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

Terry,
You need to be much more descriptive when posting. We have no idea what "page" you are referring to.

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10. When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

I´m having problems with my wifi an my new Macbook pro. It doesn´t remember the network so every time I log on - I have to "join a network"

I´m having problems with my wifi an my new Macbook pro. It doesn´t remember the network so every time I log on - I have to "join a network". I have "ticked" the "remember password" box. I´m connecting to a wireless network on an regular Speedtouch router at home. I´m new to Mackintosh.

Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

P35Neo2 FIR and problem with booting

So I have problem with booting my compie. Compie try to boot to the part of start windows, after that in case of switch into graphicis mobo going down and restarting (WinXP SP3). I think, that problem is not in PSU, cos i have 800W XILENCE (+3,3V 28A, +5V 32A, 4x+12V 20A, -12V 0,5A, 5VSB 3A), Board P35 Neo2 FIR, E7200 proc, bios 1.9 (updated). I have 5 disk and use raid function in bios. Graphic Radeon HD3650, Memory Zeppelin 4x1GB KIT 800Mhz.
I start with change of PSU from 550W to 800W but it didnt work, previus PSU had (+3,3V 30A, +5V 32A, 2x+12V 18A, -12V 0,8A, 5VSB 3A),
i try change memory, but no efect.
After update bios there was standard warning about bad cheksum, after resave Bios settings it was gone, and compie boot after that.
Any idea?
Thanks

So my problem is solved...but my feeling of this is not good...
I updated BIOS from 1.9 to 1.10, reset Bios settings, after restart i pressed F2 for load standart settings and i changed in Bios only that i am using RAID and disable disket and it works...i boot my compie into windows without any problem...
So i try change another things in Bios and my compie hangs in continous resets without booting into windows...no BSOD only restart and restart...
After reseting Bios settings and again Load to Default it works...and run windows...
There was only one new thing ... screen flick for the second with new screen about checking NVRAM ....this screen was not visible before (and maybe this is the problem), cos if i change something in BIOS about clocking and power management and other ones, this screen is by booting missing...and compie not run in Windows...
Next thing what i see, that in CPU multiplication dont work multiplication 9,5 and proc used frequency 2400 (9x) (it is E7200 on 2533)
i hope that this bios 1.10 fixed my problems...and my opinion is that P35 Neo 2 FIR is not ideal board for E7200 proc...so i m looking for another proc...and maybe another board...

Suggestions, Observations and problem with Time Capsule shares

*Some Observations*
The Time Capsule can take a long time to become active. This is especially true if using an extended or WDS network. I would suspect this is due to the negotiation between devices that it needs to do. I have on occasion believed it to be hung, only to find that after walking away for a bit it comes up. This also impacts devices showing up in the Airport utility.
Using a time capsule with one Airport Express B/G will work, but adding a second creates problems.
Extending a network with an Airport Express N seems to work well.
Best bet is to set up separate B/G and N networks and run your N network as N only at 5Ghz.
WEP provides no real security, so think of it as you would an open network.
*My Issue*
I am having an issue where the time capsule shares become unavailable. It is an intermittent issue, and I have been unable to identify a test case. This happens for devices connected over ethernet as well as wireless. The Time Capsule shows in the Finder list, but the volumes are not available. Connecting to them fails.
The device also appears in the Airport Utility list, but when clicking on Manual Setup, or guided set up, it causes a hang.
This results in Time Machine hanging when trying to initiate a backup.
I have also noticed that when this happens, the signal does start to get a bit flaky with "Roam (Beacons Lost)" messages. Wireless connectivity still seems to be very useable though. I can connect to other network shares through the Time Machine, but not to the shares on the Time Machine. The only way to recover from this is to power cycle the Time Capsule.
One thing I want to investigate more tonight is whether there are any issues with my keychain and old passwords in case there are multiple failed attempts in the mix that are doing something. Although I know of no lockout feature on the device.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is the second Time Machine, so I have seen this on two different devices. I am also seeing this issue across 4 different computers simultaneously, some via ethernet and some wirelessly. Time Capsule is 7.3.2

Hi,
I have pretty much the same problem, 1TB Time Capsule that works fine most of the time as a wireless router. Up till recently Time Machine backups just worked (as one would expect them to) wired and wireless. I went away for a week came back and now every time Time Machine invokes a back up process all of a sudden my wireless network goes down, Time Machine can no longer see the Time Capsule and all other devices (iphone / apple TV other non apple devices) no longer have connections (they see wireless but no pass through to the internet or each other).
I have tried resetting all sorts of stuff, re-deployed my network, changed IP / LAN settings to make it less complex, Yasu'd my mac, connected only via wires, cleaned out my keychain etc etc and still get the same problems and as per Chris's point airport utility also hangs and the only solution is rebooting the time capsule.
I am fairly frustrated with this! any suggestions / help would be gratefully accepted.
thanks
alex

Hangs up (problem with jdk?)

Hi,
we are developing an application using the Java API with Ifs 1.1.9 on Sun Solaris, Oracle 8.1.7.
We parse files and an invoke perform some actions with the parsed data.
Java Api and Parsing workd fine, until I encountered the following problem:
In a certain function the action hangs up,
meaning the function does not come to an end, after all I got a time-out from the ftp session.
By debugging method I could identify that the hang up occurs within in the following step:
Hashset hs = new HashSet();
I changed the code to
Vector v = new Vector();
and got the same problem.
Meaning that there might be a problem with the JDK-Library-Calls.
When I call the same funtion with same argument from a JSP-Session, everything works fine.
Is there anything known about that behavior?
I have compiled the java-files on windows NT using an JDK1.3 installation and put it to the custum_classes directory on the sun machine.
Might it be that I have to use jdk1.2.2.
(for compilation?, for run-time on sun?)
Help appreciated,
Thomas

Thanks for reply
As suggested by you, i tried the 1.4.2_08 version, but i am facing the same kind of problems with this version also

Hangs and spins with Rosetta

Hi all...I seem to have a problem with a setting somewhere. When I attempt to run a couple of different programs that require Rosetta (in particular, TablEdit, but also a couple of older games) the icon bounces in the dock for a while, then gives up and I need to force-quit it. The crash report isn't helpful; it just tells me there was a hang in Rosetta. Thing is, if I use a different account, the programs run fine -- so somewhere, I've got a preference, a setting, a cache, or whatever that's messing me up. I bet this will be a slap-myself-on-forehead-for-not-figuring-it-out sort of thing. I've verified permissions, done all the cache cleanup that OnyX knows about, re-installed rosetta, all to no avail.
Pleh?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Since you can run the programs in a different user account it just may be the associated preference files are corrupt.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Look in the Preferences folder for a file similar to this;
com.tabledit.plist
Moe that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
Same for any other older program or application that requires Rosetta.

K7T266 PRO2-RU and Problem with a FEW DISPLAY ADAPTERS ...

Hello ,
I was using my mainboard with 32 MB Creative Riva TNT2 Ultra until creative's fan was damaged . I tried 16 Creative TNT2 m64 display adapter of a friend of me , but it didn't work with K7T266 PRO2-RU. Many sounds are coming from mainboard while D-LED shows Testing RTC (or boot attemp, I'm not sure about that) (Same symptoms with "no graphic adapter" - I tried again after unplugged the display adapter - )
At the beginning I was thinking that the 16 MB creative graph adap. was broken . So , today I bought a new graphic adapter 128 MB of Creative 3d Blaster5 Radeon 9200SE . When I plugged it into mainboard , I saw the same problems with 16 MB Creative TNT2 m64 . After that , I found another 32 MB Creative TNT2 Ultra from my friend and it worked with my mainboard FINE .
- I tried all of the old bioses of MSI K7T266 PRO2-RU
- I tried to start the computer with no any other devices (such as HDD , sound card , tv card etc. ) . Only display adapter was plugged in the mainboard , but it didn't work . System hanged up everytime I tried .
- I made some bios adjustments which are suggested at this forum ....
But none of these worked .... ?(
What is the problem ? Why only 32 MB creative TNT2 Ultra is working with my mainboard , but 16 MB Creative TNT2 M64 and 128 MB Creative 3DBlaster5 Radeon 9200SE are not while all of them are working FINE with an old PII mainboard . (tvout+DVI) I'm looking forward to hear from you . , Help me please .
Ps : Can new beta bios solve that problem ?
XP pro
2100+ 0.18m XP CPU with coolermaster CP5
40 GB Seagate Barracuda IV
300 watt Codegen Power Supply
2*256 MB Kingston DDR 2100 Memory
( No floppy , no souncard , no tv card etc , no any other devices like cdrom , dvdrom , cdrw etc.)

That's it!
I provided a few PSU's from my friends and tried 420 watt thermaltake and 520 watt VANTEC Stealth 520A PSU ...
Same situation happened and 128 MB Creative ATI Radeon video card didn't work ...
The problem can not be about PSU ...
I tried two different brand of fx 5200 (128 MB ) video card on my system (with 300 watt codegen PSU) . Everything is ok .
And I also tried the RADEON card on my friend's computer which is running with 230 watt Elan Vital PSU . It worked perfectly ...
So what can I think about that situation?
The Answer is : There is something about MSI mainboard ... When I wanted to contact with support center via e-mail , I got an automated e-mail answer which is not completely able to solve any of my problems.
Besides , I saw the problems between brand new Nforce mainboard of MSI and ATI video cards ...
SO , if we get all of these informations together , we can say "THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT MSI" ...
The solution is not buying expensive PSUs...
That's really bullshit , I can buy a brand new mainboard instead of an expensive PSU.
Finally , I bought an Asus mainboard , everthing is going ok now!
I'll not buy products of MSI anymore because they didn't do anything to solve my problem . Goodbye MSIIIIII ....................................... ........

Hangs and freezes with low CPU and RAM load.

I have a Macbook Pro (13 inch mid 2012) and I have an issue with slow responses and hangs, especially when using Finder. I have done all of the software troubleshooting that I can think of including Disk Utility (verify and fix permissions, verify and repair disk). I’ve tried safe boot and AHT. All returned a healthy result, but the hangs still continued. The CPU load is less than 5% during these hangs and the RAM pressure is low. There is 100+ GBs of free space on the Hard Drive.
I used Time Machine to backup my data and I went to the Genius Bar. The representative concluded that it was a bad Hard Drive despite the results from the before mention Disk Utility. I thanked him and decided to install a new 840 EVO SSD myself.
I booted using the External Hard Drive that contained my Time Machine backup. I formatted and partitioned the SSD using GUID and Extended Journal. I selected to restore the Time Machine backup, but it failed. I do not remember the details of the restore failure since it occurred at 2 a.m. Frustrated, I decided to do a fresh install of Mavericks and restore my data using Migration Assistant at a later date.
Now I have a new SSD and a freshly installed OS and the problem is the same. What else could be the cause of these hangs and beach balls? A faulty SATA cord? Faulty Logic Board?
Thank you for your time.

If the only thing that you have installed on the SSD is the OSX and NOTHING else, then that indicates a hardware problem. Run the Apple Hardware Test, twice if you have the patience - the extended version. Note an error free AHT is not definitive.
Reset the SMC and the NVRAM:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063
As a matter of procedure I also would boot into the recovery partition and run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify, Repair and Permissions.
If there is no change, then another appointment at an Apple store genius bar will have to be scheduled.
I know that much if this is what you have already done, but the point here is to clearly eliminate as many possibilities before a genius bar appointment so that they can focus on other potential problem areas.
I am assuming this is a consistent and constant situation that will be repeated at an Apple store. If it is intermittent, that can be most difficult to diagnose.
Ciao.

Choosing between external and partner application and problem with login

We have an application on Oracle App Server 10.1.3.3 and we have an OID server.
I had taken this for granted that I should define the application as 'Partner Application' and not external application for single sign on.
Now that we need the 'PASSWORD' retrieved by application, we are considering defining it as an external application.
There are at least two problems I have encountered defining the application as external:
1. 'pageConfig:serverDate' is among the login form's inputs in the login page, but I can't set it in orasso 'Edit External Applications' page
2. After login using SSO as external application and when I click on the application's new link, the login page is shown with the username and password field filled, but I have to click on login button anyway (no automatic and invisible login).
I will be very grateful if someone gives a general view on the differences between external and partner, whether in this case external has to be used or partner and finally give some comment on my specific problem with login button and manual login.
Thank you

Just some information :
- The problem with LOGIN page exists. I don't have that problem with for example GMAIL when defined as external application, but with my applications in Oracle Application Server.
- There is also another thing I don't understand. The link to external application is something like:
javascript:open_jwindow('../ealogin?ID=76D4766','76');
and couldn't be executed outside pls/orasso
in other words we can't give that to our users, can we? They should login to orassso and see that?
We don't want to involve them in Identity Management...
Any help is appreciated....
Regards
