Help, Lion keeps hanging

hi everyone, lately over the last week or two OSX Lion has been strating to hang anf i get the spinning wheel condtsntly, i doubt i have a virus as i checked my system with kapsrski, i am now starting to get frustrated with it, i am fully upto date with everyting,
i am using a mac book pro 2011 bought only in april, can anyone help

I'm was running a MBP early 2011 with and i7 processor, with the original 4 gigs installed. I had all of the problems everyone else is describing with laggyness and long boots and shut downs. Did everything that has been amply documented in these dicussions searching on "slow Lion." I had incremental improvements in performance, but was less than satisfied.
My problems were solved when I installed 8 gigs of memory. The only lag I have experienced since is Mail on boot up. I seems to take an additional 30 seconds to become responsive. I typically run 6-8 desktops with 9-10 apps running and can switch between desktops and apps instantaneously. TIme to complete shutdown, 45-60 seconds. Boot up, 120 seconds to login screen and 60 seconds to all the apps up and responsive (except mail)
It is kind of wishful thinking to list minimum specs of Lion as 2 gigs of RAM. Even 4 gigs is taxing the limits of the system. With the above configuration and software deployment, I'm using about 6.5 gigs of RAM as reported by Activity Monitor.
Do yourself a favor if you like Lion and install the additional memory.

Silverlight on Lion keeps hanging my computer.

So basically pretty much anytime I'm watching Netflix or Amazon Prime on full screen, the system hangs - the video always freezes, and the audio either continues, or it starts looping like a broken record. Requiring a restart. This has been happening since I bought the machine over 18 months ago. Running a Macbook Air 13 mid-2012 with OS X 10.7.5 that came pre-installed.
The "Authorized Apple Reseller" in my town replaced the logic board, thinking it was a hardware issue. Still having the same problem. Now the Apple Reseller Genius is telling me I should install Mavericks.
I've read all the forums online, nothing has fixed it. It surely must be a software issue. I've never posted on a forum before, but this is my last resort, because even the "Genius" can't help me get Silverlight working on Lion. Is he right? Should I take my chances with Mavericks, even though every forum online warns about the dangers of upgrading to Mavericks (battery life, especially, yo)?
Your thoughts?

Hey Graham,
Check whether auto-analyzer is running on your machine or not. If it is running, then turn it off. Can you feel the performance improve after turning it off?
Do let me know.
Thanks.

Please help! Safari keeps hanging/not responding and freezes everything else up.

I've got a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and Safari (5.1.9) keeps hanging/crashing. I'm afraid I'm not very good with these things so I'll just have to tell the story...
It's happening when I start up Safari, either the home page (Google) doesn't fully load and the pinwheel appears, or it loads but as soon as I try to search or use bookmarks the pinwheel appears. I'm unable to quit Safari, open or close Finder or any software, and it won't shut down normally either. I've tried using Cmd-Option-Esc to Force Quit but the pinwheel appears again and nothing happens. The only option left is to do a hard shut down. After repeating this 5 or 6 times it eventually lets me use Safari, but will almost always hang again unexpectedly at some point during the day. I know this isn't the best way to deal with it but I don't know what else to do!
I'm sorry if this question has already been asked and answered, but because I don't have an error report I don't know whether my issue is the same and don't want to start messing with things when I'm not sure what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for your help!
P.S. The unexpected hanging and freezing started while I was running Leopard and an older version of Safari. I tried to back up and reinstall the OS but my optical disk drive wouldn't read the disk, so I had to take it to an Apple store where they couldn't find anything wrong but installed Snow Leopard and hoped that fixed the problem. It didn't, and it's since started happening on start up, as described above.

Open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then click Verify Disk.
If the disk needs repairing, you will need to use the install disc(s) that came with your Mac.

Indesign CC keeps hanging just after Startup... Can someone help?

Indesign CC keeps hanging just after I open a file/start a new document/look at it. Sometimes it's during open, sometimes it's before I even get to the open a file dialog box. I ended up forcing a crash with Activity Monitor so I could get a crash report. If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Running Mavericks on a Macbook Pro.
Trashed the prefs, cache, saved application state, etc.
Crash Report is here: http://pastebin.com/JYCs0A0n
Thanks,
Arielle

It didn't earlier, but I've done a re-install since then. I can try again.
Really, in the short term at least, I just need to pull text from a single, multi-page document. I have it as an .indd and an .idml. Is there another way to grab the text? I tried incopy, but it also crashed on me, freshly installed.
Of course in the long run I still need indesign, but for today, I really just need the text from this doc.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Help -- OS X keeps hanging

Hi guys,
One of my accounts keeps hanging on me when I try to do certain things (like open a pdf document or open any of hte MS office apps), and I have to restart the whole computer. I was told it is a software problem. I have tried updating my software, and the problem seems worse than ever; in the past I could wait 5 minutes for word to load, but now it just refuses to load.
Any suggestions?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks for your advice; how do I go about doing that?
Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and enter ~/Library/Preferences/ as the folder's location. Select the plists for those applications, and then drag them to the desktop. If the system works properly without them, drag them to the Trash and empty it.
How do I transfer all my files and preferences here?
To transfer over your files, move them to the /Users/Shared/ folder, and then log in from the new account. Drag them from the /Users/Shared/ folder to your current account's home folder while holding down the Option key. You should not move over your preferences until you've isolated which file or files is responsible for your issues, as it may cause the same problem to occur in the new account.

Help! - Xserve running Mac OS X 10.6 Server keep hanging!

I have a situation here where the Xserve I set up running Mac OS X 10.6 Server keeps hanging after a while. I have re-installed from the scratch thinking it was the third party software I used in importing users and groups but the problem is still there. I checked the error log of directory services and the only error I can see is "Network Transition Occurred". I read some fix on the internet as regards to the spotlight re-indexing being the likely cause. I have enabled the privacy setting of spotlight with the hope that this will stop. I am still waiting because I implemented this some couple of minutes ago. Do anyone know the solution to this issue in case the spotlight setting does not work. I am kinda frustrated with this issue.

There are many possible issues.
Network transition, to me, sounds like there is something happening that is changing the network settings. Disable any wifi if you can. Check and double check all network cables, static IP addresses, DNS, make sure there are no rouge DCHP servers on the network, or multiple routers, etc...
I would check to see if there are networking issues.
Also, if you're running Time Machine (TM), try turning it off for a few days (of course, have a good solid backup actively running, just not TM, which isn't really the best for a server anyways for various reasons.
Cheers,
Daniel

Brand new iMAC keeps hanging

Hi All
I received my brand new iMAC today - having never had a MAC anything before - decided to switch as fed up of hanging, viruses etc on PCs and also need more multimedia options.
Have set it all up it keeps hanging - for no reason i click on force quit and sometimes it will and sometimes it won't even do that - I am totally confused it has done it to me on MAC Office, iCalc, i photos, i tunes etc etc
Do i have a dud machine am i doing something wrong???? Please help.
Cheers

Kazzaboobers,
Welcome to the forum. Chances are you don't have a dud. In case you haven't read the manual I would recommend doing so before playing with your machine, you will be surprised what you learn.
Also when you mention the machine is hanging please describe with a little more detail so we can understand exactly what you mean.
You are covered by 90 days for free telephone support, if the problem persists take advantage of the support and give Apple a call. In the rare event you did get a dud they will replace the machine within 14 days of purchase.
Last IMHO it is a good idea to get AppleCare, this gives you 3 years of phone support and an additional 2 years of warranty. You can find it online (Amazon for example) for less than Apple charges.

My mac mini keeps hanging

hi everyone, newbie here, bought a mac mini solo cos i loved its looks and functions. however, a couple of moths later, the darn thing keeps hanging on me. its very frustrating! can anyone advise, cos i dont know what's wrong. thought it was overheating, so put it on its side, turned on air-con, but its still hanging very often.
any help is apprciated! thanks.

how long have you had the mac before it started doing this ?
certainly a reinstall wont hurt, i would do that and then see.
best to copy all your documents / music ect to your ipod and then do a complete re-install without saving any files, just incase.
if it solves it, great.
If not at least you have eliminated software issues, then best call apple and see if they will sort it out for you, or take it to your local apple store and see the guys at the bar
let me know how you get on

Photoshop Elements 9 keeps hanging my computer

Hi
I have a problem in that my computer keeps "hanging" when I run PE9.
I have successfully run PE7 for a couple of years without any problems and have recently downloaded and installed a trial version of PSE9. My computer keeps hanging when I use the Organizer function of PSE9. It doesn't seem to be related to any particular activity - the system could for example be working on regenerating thumbnails.....or sitting there idle. The only thing to do when it hangs is to hit the power key and turn the computer off - shift>alt>del has no effect. Time duration is between 5 and 15 minutes for the computer to hang after starting PSE9.
Actions already taken to try to reslove;
- It would appear that switiching the computer off caused a catalog corruption where the PSE9 organiser would not start. Help was kindly provided in another post to reolve this (at least PSE9 now works).
- Photoshop and Premier Elements 7 have been removed completely
- PSE9 has be removed and reinstalled
- Register has been cleaned and compacted
PSE9 catalog has been repaired and compacted
Help appreciated please
Graham

Hey Graham,
Check whether auto-analyzer is running on your machine or not. If it is running, then turn it off. Can you feel the performance improve after turning it off?
Do let me know.
Thanks.

My imac running Lion keeps dropping the Internet.

My imac running Lion keeps dropping the Internet. Sometimes just switching the wi-fi off and on corrects this but sometimes there it says no ip address. I have found restarting router sorts the no ip address. Help can I do something to stop this. Thanks simon

Your profile shows you're using SL, but you posted it in the Lion forum. So, assuming you're using Lion, I've seen posts where creating a new Network Location and adding a different named wi-fi connection has help others with this problem.
You can also check your router for firmware updates.
Many posts on this topic. Search forums for other possibilities.

Help, Lion keeps hanging
