How to fix freeze/lock ups when opening Burn tab under iTunes Preferences

Played around the past few nights with two PC's with the same problem after upgrading to iTunes 6.0. Would open burn tab under preferences and promptly lock up iTunes. Thought it was a driver problem, etc... Thanks to Toonz, here is what solved it simply for me on both PC's:
Run iTunes Help, CD Diagnostics, Run "CD diagnostics" and save output file from CD diagnostics somewhere on your PC (not even sure it's necessary to save file) and you should be able to view your burner tab and the CD/DVD drives preferences. Seems that iTunes CD diagnostics file gets corrupted, and needs updating after updating iTunes.

Silver, thanks for posting these instructions which were originally posted by MacMuse on the following thread.

How to fix tracking values modified when open pagemaker in InDesign?

Hi everyone,
Would you like to help me to fix my problem when I open pagemaker file in InDesign.
The problem is I always receive the message, "Tracking values were modified. Please check text composition in converted document"
What's the meaning with the message, and what I have suppose to do?
Thank You.

It’s just alerting you that text may reflow. Given the fact that the entire document needs to be looked at carefully it’s something you can ignore.

Machine freezez/lock ups when using password protected certificates in IE 11 Windows 8.1 Pro

When using certificates that have a password enabled and private keys we find the machine hangs up competly with the memory usage jumping to 99%. The main process being the Local Secuirty Authority Process that causes the machine to lock up. The work
around we have is to remove this certificate and import a new certificate making sure we un-tick the check box for private key password.
Not sure if this
KB2813237 is linked, but this hotfix is available for Windows 8.1 Pro OS.

Hi Simon,
You can try that suggestion and check whether it is solved and give your result, if there is any other issue, you can post it back.

Mac Book Pro Locks up when opening Date and Time system preferences

Hi,
I have a macbook pro which i have had for about 6 months and i am so pleased with it. But now i have a problem.
Everytime i go into system preferences and then to the date and time settings it locks up. The date and time settings window will appear and looks normal but i cant do nething with it, and when i hover over the window with my mouse i get the little spinning coloured mouse icon. The only way i can then exit it is to "Force Quit" it. I reinstalled mac os x last night, to see if this would fix the problem, but it did not, and have received all updates for it.
I used to have a problem where the time would be either 1 hour fast or 1 hour slow and this would keep changing by itself everytime i started the computer.
Regards
Charlie

Thanks for the replies guys...
Yes, the date/time is set to auto and the source is "Apple Americas/US (time.apple.com)"
One thing I noticed is that whenever it hangs for 45 sec or so.....once the window shows up (after hanging), the lock for changes is "open".....but if I lock it at that point, close the window and then rt click on time and open Date/Time again, it does not hang......somehow when this is "locked", it does not hang when you want to open it.
But, if u are in the lock mode, and want to "click the lock" to make changes, it hangs on you again......hope this makes sense.

Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.

Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open. how do I get rid of the ball. Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.

Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
Launch iPhoto and try again.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

PSU causing lock ups when gaming? K9A2 Platinum

I am having black screen and occasionally grey screen lock ups when Im playing games. It can happen within 10 minutes or up to an hour. I have to press the power button to restart and dont get any windows errors or blue screen. I have no issues when watching videos or just tooling around. My PSU is a OCZ600MXSP and Im thinking its not up to spec. I have everything running stock. Is it likely my PSU doesnt cut it or is the black/grey screen freeze thing an cpu/gpu overheating issue?

All of my drivers are up to date (I do use driver sweeper as well). It happens pretty much in all games, from BFBC2 and TF2 to some crappy kid game my son plays online (Wizard 101?). Im not sure what the temps are under load but at idle they are good (cant recall what exactly they were but were in the proper temp range). My monitor has just finally died as Im typing this on my laptop (bad caps on power board ) so Ill test the temps while gaming when I can hook it up to my big LCD.
Could the lock up with no blue screen/error report indicate a component overheating?

How can I freeze (lock) my Spread Sheet layout in Numbers?

How can I freeze (lock) my Spread Sheet layout in Numbers?
I have problems with Numbers changing my Spread Sheet layout
by adding extra Rows while I am not looking, or while I engage in dragging its pages with the mouse to see info on adjacent pages.
The layout I use consists of a Spread Sheet containing 4 "print" pages, ea. 8.5" x 11" wide, with a total of 36 Rows and 28 Columns.
The SS is filled with new cell values daily, but the formulas stay mostly the same. The print pages are visible on the computer screen side by side, and each Row extends over these 4 pages.
It happens sometimes that I have to change a formula while making entries on a cell in "page 4", and then need to "accept"
the new entry and formula "aaalll" the way on the very left of "page 1". So here I try to scroll left or drag the present view
with the mouse. I also have to use the "Zoom" at 150 % because I cannot see well on my MacBook Air, everything is rather small.
I suspect that during dragging with the mouse I drag cells or rows without knowing, and that this will add extra Rows derailing some formulas or values because a cell is suddenly in a different Row.
It is difficult to find which Row was added and what values where thus changed. One just sees 38 rows instead of the orihinal 36! The only way is to move all the cell values out of rows 37 and 38, and find where theey used to be on the previous day's saved locked sheet. Needless to say that when that happens twice in a days work, it means a lot of lost time.
I have checked the Numbers Manual and searched Help Info for ways to lock an established cell layout and could noy find anything.
I cannot believe it, maybe I missed something. I worked for about 35 years with Clarisworks and Appleworks Spread Sheets and never had the same problem, layouts were locked by design, and could only be changed by special procedures.
Now is there a way to freeze or lock the basic layout of a spread sheet in Numbers?
I appreciate your help. (Numbers 2.3, Mac OS 10.8.5. MacBook Air)

Hi Numbers22,
I guess I was just beating around the bush to avoid simply saying, "No, you cannot lock the layout." So there it is.
I am not sure why you are scrolling to "accept" a formula. That is unclear. I guess you building a new formula and need to use a cell from an early column. It is also unclear to me as ot how you are actually adding extra rows. I haven't been able to do it on my machine without clicking the little arrow in the row number or using Option-↑ (or -↓). Option-↑ would add a row above the row you are in if they somehow got pressed. Do you have a program running that could be interpreting something your are doing for those keystrokes? If I was standing at your shoulder I might be able to see what is doing it.
What I am suggesting is that you play around with your trackpad settings so that you are not selecting and tapping in your table while you attempt to scroll. I do have one sheet with two tables side by side with a total of 425 columns and I can scroll past them without modifying them. So perhaps turning off tap to click in system preferences will help. If you have an option to decrease trackpad sensitivity then try that (I don't, but I remember having it somewhere in the past). If you are using a mouse see what you can do to decrease the sensitivity for a click. If your computer is old it could be that the trackpad is wearing out and throwing random clicks. You might try using another input device if you have one.

Cosair HX520W PSU
Antec Nine Hundred case
2x SATA HDD
1x DVDRW
Windows XP SP3
I'm having random freezing/lock ups in Windows. It can happen anywhere between 1 minute to 5+ hours. It's completely random, doesn't matter what I'm doing.
I have the latest chipset and nVidia drivers.
Memtest passes 8+ hours
Orthos passes 3+ hours
I've cleared the CMOS and loaded optimized defaults
I've tried both IDE and AHCI
What happens is everything just freezes, I can't move the mouse and can't ctrl-alt-del.
Anyone have any ideas?
Update: I switched to BIOS 1.2 and so far everything seems OK, though I lost the option to change the command rate on the RAM. I'll post back in a couple of days or if it happens to lock up again.

Place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore. This should force a reinstall of the iOS.

How to stop newtab-page flickering/refreshing when opening new tabs by ctrl-clicking thumbnails?

Often when opening new tabs from thumbnails in newtab-page (about:newtab) the whole newtab-page refreshes itself or otherwise flickers. This sometimes causes that some new tabs are not opened when ctrl-clicking multiple thumbnails in a row. Does the newtab-page recalculate after every click what thumbnails it should show and this could cause the flickering effect? (Although I don't see changes in thumbnail order.)

Hi FFanatic,
Please update to version 32 to see if this is still happening. Go to About Firefox and click the update button.

ITunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures.

iTunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures. The problem is repeatable on two different PCs running the same version of iTunes. I never previously had problems downloading presentations from this site. Any ideas?
Both PCs are running Windows 7 fully up to date with patches.
Paul

Duncan,
I successfully downloaded the latest edition by going to the Store area. It took around 10 minutes. iTunes behaved fine and indicated the progress of the download.
However when I try to download another lecture via the iTunes U option within iTunes, the software freezes.
There is no progress bar and I can't change focus within iTunes. The only option I have is to kill the process from the Task Manager.
The lockup occurs almost immediately after I click on the Get button.
In previous months the downloads worked fine.
Thanks for your assistance

I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

Media is only where the user puts it.
Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.
