IBOOK freezes! Please help!

I was talking to my friend one day and I was saying sorry..my apple froze. He told me he was suprised because apples don't freeze.
I have been having this occasional problem for a while now. I had my ibook for about 2 years now..perfect condition..but sometimes when I am just typing an essay or makign a movie..or whatever the whole thing freezes and I have to force shut it down.
Does anyone know why this might be happenign? I have enough hardrive space..everything seems to be perfect. I update and everything..so what is going on?

Do you get a message on your screen asking you to restart your computer or does it just stop responding?
If you have had any additional memory installed I would try removing that and see if it happens again. Another thing to try would be to boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility to check and hopefully repair any errors.
Had the same problem and it turned out to be the additional memory I installed.

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

Lock-Ups and Freezes PLEASE HELP

Hello everyone..
I come here to see if anyone can help me... Ive done it all and nothing is working.
I just recently started having problems with my computer, im not sure why this happend but ill try to explain everything as best as I can.
The problem started a few days ago while I was playing SWG's. I was playing and all of a sudden my machine froze, the screen locked-up and then after about 2 min the entire system restarted. I then logged back into my windows and after a while a system froze and restarted yet again. I though it was a SWGs issue but then the computer would freeze while browsing the net and doing other tasks.
I have formated my machine, re-installed my drivers, and re-installed the hardward. Nothing has worked.
My computer specs are
300watt PSU Enermax True Power

Hope thats enough..
One last thing... When my computer restarts after the problem i get a message asking me to report the problem to microsoft... i located the error file and this is what was writen in it....

If what you are saying, and I am reading correctly:
The machine and game was working just peachy and all of a sudden the problem manifested itself?
Did you do ANYTHING to change your system prior to this happening to possibly have an effect?
the fast that you said you have re-loaded the OS and removed and re-installed the hardware with the same result tells me that there may be some sort of hardware failure and this could get difficult to troubleshoot.
First things first, try a memory testing software like memtest86 to see if you get any errors.

Computer freezes -- PLEASE HELP

Each time a new song starts on my iTunes, about 10 seconds into the song my memory usage for iTunes will shoot up from 53,000K to 85,000K and will cause everything I am doing on my computer to freeze up for about 5-10 seconds. Like I said, this happens for each successive song. I have a 13,000+ song library and did not have this problem with iTunes 4.9 -- I recently updated to 5.0.1 and started experiencing this. So, I tried uninstalling 5.0.1 and reinstalling 4.9, but the same problem was now happening there as well. This is NOT a problem with my hardware, it is more than sufficient to support this usage, and happens even when iTunes is the only program running on the computer. PLEASE HELP, it is very annoying to have to stop what I'm doing and wait for 5 seconds each time a new song starts.

Boot from your original Tiger cd and run Disk Utility Repair Disk from there - it can repair directory problems which can't be fixed from normal Disk Utility.
If that doesn't work, an archive and reinstall of Tiger might be best - it's pretty simple and can save weeks of trying to track down and fix an obscure problem. Just make sure you thoroughly backup first. Check Apple's website for instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120. Disconnect all peripherals while you reinstall.
Once Tiger's reinstalled, download the combo update from here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ (Note - don't use Software update for this). Re-attach peripherals one-by-one to see if anything is still upsetting Tiger.
I would then recommend you install third party software Macaroni, http://www.atomicbird.com/ to automate the necessary admin tasks needed to keep OSX in tip-top shape.

Imac usb keyboard/mouse freezes - please help!

i have a 700 mhz g4 flat-panel, 768 RAM, 40 GB disk, running OS 10.4.5.
the keyboard and mouse keep freezing up. sometimes one, sometimes the other. if i unplug the offending one and plug it back it, it works fine. i've tried using different USB ports, and re-setting the PRAM, but after a few minutes of use, the problem comes back.
please help!

Thanks. I was just going to post that I had more information. Luckily, it seems to jive with what you suspect.
This crash was different. Instead of a "freeze" it panicked. In the USB driver, naturally.
It was throwing these log entries beforehand:
Mar 1 12:45:06 UKELELE kernel[0]: USBF: 406246.406 [0x23a6600] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 1 of hub @ location: 0x18000000)

So I was going to swap out the mouse, anyway. If that doesn't stop it, I'll change USB ports.
Thanks so much for the response.

Problem with Desktop Skype freezing, please help

2 days ago, Dec. 23rd, I started up Skype as usual, but after about a minute, it froze, soon becoming "not responding". I opened Task Manager to try to end it manually, but Task Manager quickly became "not responding" as well, as did Chrome when I opened it when I tried to search for a solution. This had never happened before, and since has only happened when I am trying to use Skype for Desktop. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, switching to an older version, and running an antivirus scan to see if a virus might be causing the problem, but none of this helped, and it still freezes itself along with all my other programs, forcing me to restart my computer if I want to be able to use it. I have been using Windows 8 Skype instead today, with no problems, but Skype for Desktop is more convenient for me, and I would very much appreciate it if someone would please help me.
Also, I don't know if this might be related to the problem, but today I had Task Manager open before starting Skype for Desktop, hoping I could end it before it caused everything to freeze (I couldn't), I was able to see before it froze that Skype was using 100% of my Disk.
Solved!

Weird ibook display please help!

I have an ibook g3 dual usb. I was having crashes and couldn't empty the trash etc. etc so I decided to to do clean reinstall. I ran the disc through several disk utilities saying the disk needed to be repaired. I repaired it, then erased it. Put a new os, 10.2 and the weirdest thing happened, the os opened in a tiny screen within the screen. So went to system preferences and looked under displays, and only a 1024 x whatever, option is available! No other screen resolutions! So I updated it to 10.2.8 and it loaded ok (still small screen with screen with black backdrop) and now it won't restart. Keep getting the "you need to restart your computer..." in all languages. Please help.
Thanks,
Frenchy550

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you've installed a version of the OS that is too old or incompatible with the iBook. Check out this Apple Knowledge Base article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25497
Do you have the system CD's that originally came with the iBook?
What is the MHz rating and what kind of optical drive does it have (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, or Combo)?
How much RAM is installed?
The "you need to restart your computer..." message is indicative of a _kernel panic_.

IChat freezes, please help

Just today, my macbook is starting to hate me. I turn it on, go into ichat, i connect, i can see my buddies, but i get the spinning wheel, and it NEVER goes away. I cant even force quit ( i click, but it doesnt).
And then i noticed that screen captures take a lot longer than they usually do to appear on the desktop, and my cursor started lagging.
I dont know what the deal is. Please help.

Hi,
It does not look that busy from those figures.
If Activity Monitor is Open I would look more specifically at the CPU Column.
If you click the Header/title of this column the list will be reordered base of those details with the heaviest using app at the top.

On my THIRD iPod Touch aka " Mr. Freeze" Please Help!!!

I got my first 16GB iPod touch back in November and it was GREAT! I never had any function problems at all. It always tuned on , turned off , charged , synced , slept , and played just as it was supposed to. Then after about 2 months the left channel audio started cutting out . So I made a service request and sent it off to AppleCare where they quickly identified the problem and replaced my iPod with a different one.
Now the first night I had this replacement iPod it froze up on me and would not do anything until I held the home and Power button for 5 seconds until it restarts. This became a daily ritual. EVERYDAY I would go to use this iPod and it would be frozen , you could look at the screen under direct light and see that the screen was not completely off , you could not see pictures or backgrounds just different shades of black blocks and bars accross the screen vertically. And while it is in the frozen state is drains the battery VERY quickly. I can finish using the iPod at the end the end of the day with at least 75% battery left , turn it off and go home and check it 2 hours later and it will be frozen and when I get it to restart the battery is in the RED. When it is in this frozen state connecting it to the computer does nothing , the computer will not see it at all as long as it is frozen. It tried the 5 R's to every extent with no positive results.
So I got frusterated and made another service request and sent it off to AppleCare to be "Serviced". They said their technicians could find nothing wrong with it , that it met all of Apples quality control guidelines and function as expected by Apple , so they sent is back to me. It arrived to me FROZEN again!
So I tried to use it as was for about another month and decided you know what my first touch NEVER did anything like this in the 2 months I had it so I know it doesn't have to be this way. So I made another service request for this same (my 2nd) touch. Only this time I sent copies of a letter explaining every detail of the problems , and insisting that they either repair/replace or refund my money. Funny enough this time they iddentified and issue with it and replaced it with what is now my 3rd iPod touch.
Now this 3rd Touch does not do what the second one does. I does something NEW. it keeps going into RECOVERY mode , whatever the **** that is , so I will go to use it and it will not function nor turn on and when I connect it to my computer it says iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode and it must be restored before it can be used! So this morning I got up for work ejected the touch from my PC , it had been charging , slid the slider to unlock it and verified it was charged and ready to go abnd then turned the screen off and drove to work. Fifteen minutes later I go to turn the music on and it is stuck in recovery mode.Now I have really had it!!! If it's not annoying enough that this has to keep happening all my music is on my PC at home. So I plug it in to my PC at work and its says it has detected an iPod in recovery mode and must be restored, so I can restore it but then there is no Music on it until I can get back home to resync it with my home PC. So for the entire rest of the day I have and iPod that is no longer frozen , but also has NO content on it!This happens once maybe twice a week , not near as frequent as the last replacement Touch they sent me and it seems to be a different issue also , but still a problem just the same.
I don't understand why this keeps happening?!?! All the content is the same accross all 3 Touch's I have had. My usage remains the same for all 3. Nothing has changed accept the Firmware version between the three. The first touch was 1.1.2 the second was 1.1.3 and the third is 1.1.4.
And of course I never had any problems until I purchased the January Software Upgrade POS. Is it possible that the JSU is causing all of this? Is there a way to remove the JSU off of this Touch or would I have to revert back to 1.1.2 Firmare? And if so can it be done? If I have to do that and it is indeed the problem can I obtain a refund for the JSU because it CRIPPLES the iPod??
PLEASE help , any advice is greatly appeciated! Thanks
-Cody

Well, I am VERY particular about keeping my electronics MINT. I have never not used a protective case and I have to say it is almost heart breaking to imagine the scratchs my Touch will have on that shiny back after just one day without a case...........but I am desperate. I must say I really do love my Touch. It is my 15th Media player and beyond all comparison the best Media Player I have ever owned and I am willing to do whatever is necessary to remedy this situation and be able to use my Touch as intended once again.
What gripes me the most is that I paid premium price for this iPod Touch and it has virtually no Tech support. It baffles me. I had ONE tech support phone call available within 90 days and I used it on the first Touch so now I can't phone tech support , you cannot e-mail tech support , my only option is to place a service request and send it to AppleCare and you can't give a decent description of the problem even then because you are limited to 200 characters and I am damned tired of sending it back and forth. Is it really so hard to offer decent Tech support for these $400 and $500 Media Players? Dozens of other manufactures manage to do it so why can't Apple? They've got an AMAZING product , why not give it AMAZING support? Thats all I'm saying.

For better results I'd recommend creating your own thread so the responses received focus on your issue/question.
This document explains how to recover iTunes Store purchases from your device:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
If the music on your iPod is not purchased from the iTunes Store, recovering the songs will require the use of third party software. Some links:
