HT1338 My iMac keeps on freezing in the middle of operation.

My IMac has the OSx Lion 10.8.2 and keeps on crashing just started this afternoon. You need to turn-off the main power off manually to reboot it. Any fix of this issue?

Try this first.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that does not work - quit app apps, and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

HT1379 my iMac keeps locking up, but the cursor is moveable. No pattern discernible, sometimes soon after starting, other times apparently random.

My iMac keeps locking up, but the cursor remains moveable. No pattern that I can see, it sometimes occurs soon after starting up, other times apparently random. Mail is set to load on start-up. The freeze often occurs with this, but can be any other app, e.g skype. Any suggestions anyone please?

command-option-esc keys will quit the offending program. Reboot whil holding down the command-r keys into the Recovery Dsik. select Disk Utility and then select your hard drive from the left side column and then select Repair Disk.

My iPod keeps freezing during the middle of songs etc.?

My iPod keeps freezing in the middle of songs and even when i plug it into the computer to charge. I've tried to restore it but iTunes rejects it, saying that it has an error. what can I do?

I have an Ipod touch. Recently it has started stopping in the middle of the songs. Sometimes it stops completely and sometimes it goes to the next song.
All the songs is it stopping on are recent purchases from Itunes. A couple of the songs stopped midway while playing them on Itunes. I did unsync the new songs and then added them again.
I tried the reset mentioned above, but it didn't help.
I have over 3000 songs, I'd like to avoid unsyncing and resyncing if at all possible.
the restore to factory defaults removes all the updates, doesn't it?
I'd appreciate any help.

My iMac keeps getting stuck on the pinwheel what should I do?

My iMac keeps getting stuck on the pinwheel and is running really slow. What should I do?

We need your model of iMac and the version of the Mac OS you have to provide useful help. There are four families of iMacs from 1998 to present, and what fixes one may not fix another.
Pleae do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu; you get something like this:
Tell us what it says for "Processor" and the version of the Mac OS ("!0.5.8" in the above example). Without that, we're running blind.
Thanks

IPOD freezes in the middle of podcasts

My Ipod freezes in the middle of playback of podcasts downloaded from Itunes; I have to re-set IPOD in order to continue use. Also happens with audio books. No problem, however, with playback of songs.

I think I have the same problem. It just.. freezes and you cant do anything with the song. You can change songs and sometimes it starts working again if you keep changing songs long enough but that just *****.
So yeah, I know what youre going through And Id appreciate some info about this as well. Its really starting to tick me off.

Boy what a screw job when the program freezes in the middle of site wide folder name changes.
Then you never know what did get changed or not until you wade thru every possible one.
And you cant just redo change the folder name, cuz the folder name did change.
Further, every attempt locks the program.

Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie?

Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie, requiring a force quit, which causes your rental to disappear? This has happened multiple times to me recently. Last time Apple didn't refund my money after reporting the problem. I have been using iTunes for many years but am about to give up.

Correction: I was refunded for the previous movie freeze.

Ipod freezing in the middle of songs, have to wait until the battery dies.

Help me, my ipod freezes in the middle of songs and i have to wait until the battery goes out until i can do anything with it. And the harddrive has started to click and it sounds like a fan that starts spinning after two clicks. What should i do ?
Pc Windows XP Ipod 5th generation

you know what its funny because my ipod just did this last weekend. its been freezing on and off for the last couple of months. I have had it for a year and a half. It would freeze and i would try and do the whole thing where you hold down menu and select and that worked for awhile, but then suddenly last weekend it froze and it started making a weird clicking sound too. i got ****** and just left it at home for the weekend. when i got back home the battery was dead of course and i just plugged it into the charger and it turned on again. im guessing that sometimes you just have to leave it alone. when it made that clicking noise, it wouldnt do anything. you just have to let the battery die and then recharge it.

Firefox keeps shutting down in the middle of my sessions. Why?

Firefox keeps shutting down in the middle of my sessions. This is very annoying. What is the fix?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Hello Jm23ur,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing performance issues with your device. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

HT202358 iPhoto Library Upgrader will stops in the middle of operation and will not finish. Now what?

I downloaded iPhoto Library upgrader, installed and attempted to use it. It stops in the middle of operation and will not finish. Now I cannot open my iPhoto Library! I'm freaking out a little. When I try to open iPhoto, it tells me I need to "prepare it" with the upgrader program. When I select iPhoto Library as the Library I want to upgrade, it tells me I don't need to upgrade it and should be able to open it with iPhoto. Ugh. Help??

If your photos have any value to you you should have an ongoing backup program - TimeMachine is a good first choice
For this purpose simply duplicating the iphoto library is adequate since you are not trying to protect against human or hardware failures - just against a rare rebuild issue

My iPod classic (160 gb) keeps pausing randomly in the middle of songs. What do I do to fix this?

So, I got my iPod classic about 5 months ago. Every once in a while, it will pause in the middle of a song. This usually happens soon after I lock or unlock it, and if I touch the wheel, but also happens if I let it play without touching it.
I've searched for solutions, but everyone says that their iPods keep pausing for a few seconds, then continue. When mine pauses by itself, it doesn't continue until I press the play button.
According to iTunes, my iPod is updated with the latest software. So, I reset my iPod (middle button and menu at the same time), but it didn't fix the problem. Then, with iTunes, I reset my iPod. Again, this didn't help.
It isn't because of my headphones because the same thing happened when I listened with different buds.
Does anyone know what I should do?

i to am having the same problem on my week old ipod classic did you manage to sort it out?? if so HELP please

Mac keeps waking up in the middle of the night

So my Mac's been waking up in the middle of the night, and I want to keep my electricity bill down. Anything in these 5 console lines point anything out, internet detectives?

Also try looking through this thread on MacRumors.
Try ejecting and removing connected devices one-by-one. Turn off Airport and Bluetooth. Some programs may be preventing sleep; try quitting programs one-by-one to identify the culprit.

IPad freezes in the middle of a video playback

This is a second time I post this problem. When I first got my iPad, it froze in the middle of a video play back consistently. I called tech support, all they can do was to ask me to reset the iPad. However, that did not fix the problem. I was sent to an Apple store and given a new one. The second one apparently has less than problem. It looked the Kindle app affected it. I spoke to Apple tech support for over 5 hours, none was able to help. One supposedly to be a senior advisor said if the iPad did not work even after restoring it as new, she did not what to do. The second one does not have the problem as frequent as the first one, it does freeze occasionally. When I first posted this problem, another person responded that he/she had the same problem. His/her problem went away after a new one was given to him. If you experience this problem, please post it. Otherwise Apple would never know. None of the tech support was able to fix the problem

J.K.ROFLing in another thread suggests following the advice of this Apple kBase article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2413
which suggests re-installing the QT 7.5.5 from the package installer (link is in the kBase).
This worked for me and has solved my problems.
