Hangs, slow shutdowns and restart, spinning ball opening and closing apps

I am experiencing random hang ups and slow wake up and shutdowns.
I will be typing something and nothing appears then all of a sudden the text will appear. The cursor will periodically hang up, applications take along time to open and close and I seem to get the spinning ball frequently. System preferences is slow to open. The problems seems to correct itself if I restart.
In addition, it takes forever for the DVD to recogized a CD or DVD disk and show the icon on the desk top.
I have been monitoring various posts related to this problem and there does not seem to be an answer?? Is Apple aware of these issues. I have done everything from resetting the PRAM to running disk utilities, unpluging the machine, re-installing software, etc... Nothing seems to work...I called tech support and been the Genius Bar....It seems to get worse the longer the computer is on....HELP...

That seems to be a common theme -- and sounds suspiciously
like an over-temperature problem. Try smcFanControl.

Hi kaiserleung,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see the information in the article below on troubleshooting this issue where your iPhone is unexpectedly restarting.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support

Leopard now hangs on shutdown and restart, but not if I unlog first

I've seen various people posting about this similar issue.
So basically my iBook was running fine with Tiger, and since I updated it to Leopard, it will hang when I want to restart or shut it down from the >Shutdown menu.
I tried many things, deinstalling stuff, and what have you. It seems however that running uninstaller programs or Maintenance which asks to restart to apply changes works.
So I tried first unlogging from the system, then from the login menu, hit the shutdown button, and it appears to work.
In the /var/log/system.log file there is nothing printed from the last entry just before I request the shutdown and when it powers back up.
Any idea how to definitely solve this problem? Sometimes I forget to manually log off, and holding down to hard stop the computer is something I used to laugh about when I used to be on windows...
Thanks for your advice.

Ok I see. Are the times displayed the american way, i.e: 12 hours per day? 24h per day? I can see some activity going on, but I can't tell if it was in the morning or in the afternoon :-P
I was about to come with some good news yesterday, as I thought to have found the problematic application, unfortunately after running OSX software update, Leopard got blocked once again upon shutdown. So I still can't tell whose fault it is.
Here is an excerpt of my log file, do I guess this happened just before I shutdown the computer as I closed Firefox and ran osx software update:
8/11/10 11 Aug 10:07:54 [0x0-0x1c01c].org.mozilla.firefox[474] Debugger() was called!
8/11/10 11 Aug 10:16:46 Software Update[582] arguments=(null)
Then here the computer got blocked and there is no more message printed in the log except for todays messages.
Well it's maybe firefox? I have a few extensions added to it, maybe it's not exiting cleanly? That's why my computer would get blocked only after a few hours of work, maybe firefox builds up at to a certain point where it's ready to lock the computer on shutdown?

Slow Mac with recurrent spinning ball of doom

Please help,
My Mac has always been slow since I had it and migrated my PC content to my Mac. I have run EtreCheck and hope that this might illuminate the cause of my issues, but worry that it may not. ANYTHING I ask the Mac to do will be slow and inevitably cause a spinning ball for a while. I have kept the system up to date. I have a lot of photos in iPhoto but can't imagine this can be the cause?
Any help is much appreciated. The Etrecheck output is below:
Many thanks.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be a series of messages in the Terminal window like this:
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The messages won't be spaced equally apart in time, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the last message you saw. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Why does Pages 09 hang for 1min30sec? The spinning ball, etc...

I am using Pages 09 version 4.3 (not the iWork package, just Pages 09)
Operating system 10.8.3 with 4 Gb memory on an iMac from around 2009 (Intel core 2 duo)
I had been using Quark Xpress for a couple decades and wanted to save a book I did in Pages so I can sell it in the Apple bookstore.
So I saved a Quark document as a pdf.
Then I used an on-line service to convert the pdf to a word document.
Then I opened the word doc in Pages and saved it as a Pages file.
I am in the process of doing a lot of reformatting, but I'm not surprised all the formatting didn't carry over, considering all the flie formats I went through.
The document is about 40 pages and has perhaps 40 pictures, but I do resize them in Photoshop so the Pages document file is only 4.9 Mb.
Pages isn't all that different from Quark, it just seems to hide things in different places.
The problem is that every so often when I click in the document, I get the spinning ball and Pages hangs for 1 minute and 30 seconds (doesn't it seem odd that it is always for the same length of time?). Then it comes out of its coma and I carry on.
Using the Activity Monitor I see Pages using 99.8% or 100% or even 100.5% of CPU. And The Pages line is in red type that reads "Pages (Not Responding).
While I wait for Pages to come to its senses, I can surf the Web, or use other programs, which seems peculiar because if the CPU is 100% occupied, I would think it could.
When I go to the dock and click on the Pages icon, it doesn't come to the front. I have to move any other windows so I can see my Pages document and click on it to bring it to the front.
I went into FontBook and checked all my fonts and deleted a bunch. When I reopened the document, it said it was missing a font, so I selected a substitute, the document opened and I re-saved it with a new name.
Sometimes it hangs when I click in text, but just now it was hanging every time I tried to click on a line behind the main text box.
Just now it hung when I started to go to the Edit menu. I waited and now it's back, as if nothing happened.
Any ideas?

After a very long night it seems my problems were solved by
1. making sure all the in-line pictures had the correct wrap around settings and
2. deleting some lines that had originally been underscores, but wound up being independent lines behind the main text box and
3. checking my fonts in FontBook and deleting the iffy ones (I dunno if this made any real difference, but I mention it anyway).
Every time I would select a line there would be a long pause. Initially 1 1/2 minutes, but shorter as I deleted the lines one by one.
There were also pauses when trying to select in-line pictures, and sometimes for no good reason that i could discern.
Anyway, now that the pictures' wrap around is re-set, and the lines are delected, there are bo more pauses!
Whew. I spent hours watching that ball spin. Still, it was better than re-creating the whole book.

The report shows you don't have enough RAM required to run all of the apps you run at the same time. Yosemite takes way more RAM than what OS X used to take.
To solve the problem do either one of these:
restart your mac from time to time (every night for ex).
Use less apps at the same time.
upgrade to 8GB of RAM if your Mac allows it

HT4623 Why is my iPad 2 randomly opening and closing apps? And why, at the same time, does the screen goes bigger than smaller repetitively?

7.29.2013 - iPad2 begins to randomly open and close apps and also the screen changes from bigger to smaller repetitively when the apps are randomly opening and closing. Nothing occurred with the device to indicate why this started happening; it was not dropped, etc.

If still problem:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Slow shutdowns and hangs since upgrading tio 10.4.9

I upgraded Macbook to 10.4.9 and all is OK except for when I shutdown (as opposed to sleping the Macbook) I sometimes get hangs of=r very long delays and Inhave to manually swithc off by pressing and holding down the power switch - restart is OK
This is a bit like the RSD only it is when I actually switch off that computer hangs and the spinning circke golf ball keeps on spinning - I tried reseting PRAM and the Disk Utility but neither made any difference anyone else affected and what to do other than leave in standby all the time

Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s "Important: Please read before installing" warnings, etc.
Verify/repair the startup disk (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, reinstall the update using the combo installer for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
<hr>
The above may not solve the problem, but should allow us to at least troubleshoot it properly. If the problem persists, proceed as follows:
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running) and post back with your observations:
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears. This tells Mail to not select any mailboxes or load any messages upon start up.
2. With no Internet connection.

Which model version of iMac do you have and which version of OS X are you using?
Hope this helps

My iPhone 4 is randomly opening and closing apps. I have restarted and even did a reset. Any ideas how to fix? This is my lifeline as I use it for work

I have restarted holding gown the sleep button and done a hard restart using the home and sleep at the same time. I reset all my settings. My screen continuously switches from different apps and screens. In text it randomly selects letters. This happened once a few weeks ago but only lasted a couple hours. This time it's been more than 24 hours. I use it for my business so it's vital I have it working. Thanks for your help

You need to restore using iTunes you last sync with.

Shutdown and closing program

I have a program that runs automatically on startup called SX-Virtual Link. It's for my print server. When I shutdown my Mac I always get prompted to shut this program down first. Is there a way to automatically shut it down when I shutdown?

There are a couple of applications I have used to stress test my system. The first application is Everest Ultimate. Look under the menu Tools/System Stability Test. The second is OCCT. The Linpack test is great to start off with.
I was having problems with PrE 8 either crashing or behaving funny. At that time I was running 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz and not overclocked. PrE was showing the most problems where almost I could not use the software at all. I was having other random issues too - but only about once every other week.
I stress tested my system and determined there was an issue. I could not complete a single round of stress testing.
I attempted to change my system settings, send the RAM in for exchange, etc... but could not get the system stable. Others who had the same motherboard as mine recommended to switch to a different DDR3 vendor. I did and immediately all my issues were resolved. After one month of stability I added another 4 GB. I have had zero issues with my system since I made the switch which has been well over a year ago. The system just runs and runs.
How much space is left on your OS drive?
What are your virtual memory settings configured for right now?
Where did you tell PrE to put the temporary files (scratch disk locations?

My ipad air keeps restarting and closing apps plus it wont connect to itunes when i want to do a full restore

i have just bought a ipad air 2 weeks ago from a tmobile store and the day i got it, it started turning off which i though was normal since it was the first day and my second device so i had it the first week went by and it continued to happen after that it got more serious and i got made i took it back to tmobile they said to take it to apple and i did inboca raton the people there are nice but what ever they did only stoped it from happening for a while i came back the same week a day later saying i contined to happen and they said did u delete the apps and i told the person i had no apps on thier he/she was supprised and said if he could run a web search and a dianositcs report i said sure he didnt find anything wrong but it turning off on the apps i also know that the device (ipad air) should have a good amount of memmory and that the main reason it turns off is because it has a 64 bit prossessor with a 1GB Ram so i turns off but their is a way to make it work fluentlly without turning off you have to connect it to iyunes on a PC or MAC and restore your device so that it repairs itself after that u have to manually redownlaod all the apps again and not use icloud to back up when u are done redownlaoding then u have to backup and then hopefully it will work fine but i cant connect to itunes so i later retuned that same day trying that and told him/her that it didnt work and the idea that i tried and he/she said that he can replace it if i brought the box so i said no i didnt bring it please fin a solution so i can connect to itunes its only 2 weeks old and i dont want a new one so fast

When my phone crashed for the first time I noticed that the ios update 6 was on my phone and i updated it at that moment... it still continues to not work... i now have a grey screen saying activation request could not be completed. if problem persists contact customer care. I cannot get to the home screen or any of my settings. I have been trying to contact but i think i was to late and to early this morning to reach anyone.
When i connect my ipnone to itunes there is no music, no apps, no photos, no updates or any thing that I can see..... it says that softwware version 5.1... does that mean that my phone did not update ios 6?
I can't get to any options or different screens on my phone either, just the grey screen i spoke about before.....
you spoke of downloading from apple directly does that mean on my iphone or my computer?
thanks:)

How to disable previously opened and closed apps from opening up again when turning on my mac?

Since I started using Lion every time I turn on my mac all applications open, how can I prevent this from happening?

Yes. Usually it's Microsoft taking ideas from Apple. Nice to see the opposite for a change.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files
The idea that users don't need to access their Library folder is preposterous if they own the computer. When trying fix an issue, for example fully remove Firefox, or any number of things, why add a step? This is tantamount to if Apple had hidden the Extensions Manager (not saying they DID, but if they HAD). Why hide the Library? Why hide /etc? The more people learn about their systems, the less problems in the long run. Not that I'm trying to put myself out of work, bless their lazy, black little hearts, users keep me on the gravy train, however the number of issues avoided would out weigh the potential issues.
Regardless, my apologies to the original poster for the threadjack, the image above is useless. Chmod as linked seems to work just fine, though it won't get rid of that idiotic "do you want to open everything again on reboot" check box.
