IBook is freezing, help help.

ok, so i have had my ibook for about two years now. i was running 10.3.9 and problem free. i had replaced a logic board a year ago and some bad memory. other than that i am good to go.
about two months ago my ibook started freezing. i didn't get kernel panics telling me to restart. the mouse icon would freeze(the color wheel would stop , or the hand would be stuck as the hand icon) and i could not access my dock. however, with an ethernet cable i was still able to bridge the internet from the ibook to my desktop computer.(which is how i am online right now) it will start up fine and won't freeze if i have it on and run nothing. sometimes it runs for a while without freezing. but then sometimes it freezes right away.
i reinstalled 10.3 hoping a clean install would clear it up, but no such luck. i ran the hardware test also, and everything came out passing. anyone have any suggestions?

also, i would like to note that my iSight still gave out video of me moving around after my desktop had frozen. which i could not really explain? and the monitor dims still and puts up the screen saver, even if it is frozen.

  • HT201322 The hide your purchase doesn't seem to work on my iPad mini in iBooks, can anyone help?

    The hide your purchase doesn't seem to work on my iPad min, ipad or iphone 5i in iBooks, can anyone help? Is the info on the apple site wrong?

    The info on that is correct - it says :
    You currently cannot hide purchases on devices using iOS 6.
    You should still be able to hide ibooks via your computer's iTunes, and they shouldn't then appear in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (if you don't want ibooks that are in the cloud to show on the bookshelf in iBooks then set Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off' - hiding doesn't hide them from that, only from the Purchased tab).

  • My ibook is freezing

    my ibook is freezing up. It usually happens when i'm moving it around. Any suggestions as to why it is freezing?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
    See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.
    If you have questions in the future, you may want to try posting in the iBook G4 Forum.

  • IBook G4 freezes after 10 minutes

    my iBook G4 freezes after a few minutes of use.
    it starts up but freezes after around 10 minutes (variable 5 - 20 mins). The screen is frozen and no keyboard or mouse input is accepted. Only way out I found was to power-off. This happens from cold.
    When warm, it freezes on startup with blue screen.
    I have been able to clear the disc and reload MAC OS from install discs and the symptoms are identical. There are no modifications, no devices connected, no network connection and the wifi is turned off. It makes no difference whether the battery is removed and run on power supply or simply run on fullycharged battery.
    I tried:
    1. remove/replace wifi card and memory check connections OK.
    2. Startup from install disc and repaired disc, although it was OK. Disc seems to be fine.
    3. Reset PROM.
    4. stored the iBook in a cold place and it ran for longer.
    5. Ran a temperture monitor - all temperatures are OK.
    6. I have tried using the latest MAC OS 10.4 and the original one supplied with th iBook (10.3).
    I do not think it is a disc, airport card, cooling fan or battery fault. It could be a memory module failure or some motherboard fault. Its not software or driver.
    I think the only thing left is that some hardware fails when it gets wram and works agin when cold. The colder t is to at startup, the longer it works for.
    I have now run out of ideas.

    It ran long enough to install from disc-1 then froze. After restarting, it asked for disc-2 and that loaded then froze. After restarting, it worked a short while then froze. To get this far, I left the iBook in a cold place before starting it up and this extended the runtime from the normal 5 minutes to as much as 25 minutes.
    I disconnected the disc and it behaved the same while starting from the CD drive so I think the disc is OK or its more than one cause.
    This feels like a dry solder joint problem, to me - applying pressure on the motherboard or lowering the temperature will temporarily fix it for a few minutes.
    If I pay for a repair then, statistically, it will last 3 months longer so its too risky. It would not be so bad if Apple could repair it with confidence that it will not have the same problem again, but to do that they would have to admit to what causes the this problem with so many iBooks.

  • Help with ibook G4, Freezing and wont turn on :-(

    Can anyone help a fellow MacLady?
    I have an ibook G4, her her a year with no problems,
    2 days ago cursor froze, and I turned off and restarted and am left with a blank screen.
    Every now and then it starts up, all my documents are there, connects to to wireless ok, and last for anything from 5mins to 1hr. Then freezes again.
    Took it to a local PC man who looked and said he doenst really know apples but guessed it was Hard Drive.
    Have no lost NO information from the PC, its all backed up now thankfully as I do occassionaly get access to it, though all my 876 entourage emails have strangely dissapeard. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    Have an appointment with a "Genius" in Bluewater on Wednesday (earliest they can see me), but just wondered if anyone knew what the problem might be and how much I am maybe looking at for a repair? As the PC man told me to buy a new one as this will cost hundreds.
    I work from home so not been able to print or do hardly anything so am running out of time
    Thanks for any help, the PC is here next to me (am on my old Win one, blergh) so if anyone can help or give advice I would really appreciate it,
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi LadyMacB and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First of all see if you can start up inSafe Mode.
    Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup.
    What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode.
    If you are able to start up in Safe Mode and reboot into normal mode this may, in itself, be enough. If not restart in Safe Mode, if you are able, & put your OS X install disk in and restart holding the C key until you see the spinning gear wheel. When you get to the Language screen select your language and select 'Next'.
    At the top of the screen towards the left in the menu bar select Utilities>Disk Utility. Select the Drive name at the very top, then look at the report at the bottom of the window. Amongst everything else you will, hopefully, see S.M.A.R.T. status 'Verified'.
    If it says 'Failing' then your PC bloke is spot on. Be grateful that you were able to get everything backed up. Otherwise proceed…
    Select your OS volume 2nd down in the left hand box, then click the 'Repair Disk' button. Leave Disk Repair to run, If it reports that repairs were made select 'Repair Disk' again until you get the message that the Volume appears to be OK. If DU reports at any time that it could not repair then third party utilities may be necessary or, irrespective of the S.M.A.R.T. status report, your HD may be shot. Try the above for starters and report back.
    Best of luck,
    Adrian

  • Help - ibook keeps freezing

    my g4 ibook running 10.4.6 with 640 mb ram keeps freezing up, requiring a restart. This happens using almost any application. Ive repaired permissions and run disc repair from the tiger install disc. Any have any suggestions? Also, on restart the computer emits and odd tone and the light on the front side blinks wildly for several seconds. Any help would be great, thanks in advance Robby

    Hi, Robby. to Apple Discussions.
    It does sound like it could be bad RAM:

    It's the extra 512 MB RAM module you need to remove.

  • Leopard Gives My iBook Brain Freeze - Please Help

    Hi All,
    I decided to upgrade my iBook G4 (1.07 GHz with 512 RAM) to Leopard after running 10.4.11. But before I upgraded, I made a back up of drive on an extrernal hard drive. Then I went through the install and it took about 3 hours, but it installed everything. Then it restarted my iBook and I logged in, but then my background image loads and my beach ball just spins. For hours (I let it sit over night and it did nothing). I can move my cursor over the dock and it pops up, but if I click on an application it will load (like Safari will load but just sit there with a the load bar frozen at 15%).
    So I turn to everyone here for help. I tried to re-install Leopard and it did nothing and I still have the same issue. Any help would be awesome.
    Best regards,
    Michael

    If you have safely backed up all of your files; music, fotos, videos, etc., then I recommend a complete Erase & Install. Use the Disk Utility found in the Utilities menu of the Leo Installer. Erase the HD and use the simple option to write zeros to the HD. This will also lock out any bad sectors which your HD may have. Then install Leo. You can even do a custom install and gain a few extra GBs by only installing the language and printer driver resources that you really need. Finally you can carefully bring over your files from the back up.
    This process should eliminate whatever is hanging over from your previous install and messing up Leo for your enjoyment.

  • Ibook G4 freezes on startup   help

    My Ibook G4 has been good to me for years, I try to keep it clean and up to date. A few days ago out of the blue it froze up on me. I took the battery out and tried to start up the computer. It starts to go through the motions ( white screen with the apple logo and dial spinning below, then changes to blue screen ) Once it gets to the blue screen where it normally loads OSX it just stops running and freezes everytime. Tryed to load the apple care test disc , but it does not work. The apple logo shifts to the side and the computer freezes again. I also tried to use the apple restore disc, to run a hardware test. That will load the disc and start to go through the hardware test. Once it gets to the memory portion of the test it freezes everytime. It does not say the memory portion failed it just freezes. Also trying to do a reinstall of the software does not work, it just freezes shortly after the disc starts to spin.
    Any ideas would be helpfull thanks
    Ibook G4 (2004)800/756 running OS 10.4.10

    Let's take it a step further and reset the NVRAM. Restart and hold down the Appleoption+OF keys. Release them when you see "Welcome to Open Firmware". At the prompt type;
    reset-nvram (return)
    reset-all (return)
    The computer will restart after pressing return the second time.

  • IBook acting/freezing up. HELP!

    my iBook first was saying something about the clock being a date in 1969 and I need to reset. now it will not show the top right items of the menu bar; the airport, the clock, sound, etc. So NO INTERNET. and CONTINUALLY SPINS. something is really really off.
    I did a basic restart, ran disc first aid, to no avail. I did the network diagnostics to reset airport, to no avail. It will not even let me change the clock time in system preferences.
    What can I do???

    Hey Geoff,
    how do you reboot from the original system disc?
    Insert the disc and hold down the "C" key while booting up or hold down the option key at boot and select the disc.
    The original disc is:
    the the disc that came with it originally?
    Yes. These are Gray with white lettering.
    what is the retailer installer?
    A retail installer is a generic disc that will install on any appropriate computer. They're black with silver lettering. That's what you'd get if you bought Leopard at the Apple store.

  • Photoshop CC 2014/Intuos tablet causing PS to freeze, HELP!!

    Hi folks,
    I've recently run into a serious issue that has stopped my workflow in its tracks. It has to do with some bizarre incompatibility issues between Photoshop CC 2014, Wacom Intuos tablets and Windows 8.1. I do not exactly know which one of those is the culprit, so here are some details.
    The issue occurs whenever I use any keyboard shortcut involving the control key (step backwards is the big one) and the brush tool at the same time. If I try to make a brush stroke before fully releasing the shortcut keys (especially longer brush strokes), Photoshop completely freezes. It stays frozen until I move the stylus far away enough from the tablet that it no longer detects hovering; after a moment, the program will begin to function normally again. This doesn't ALWAYS happen; it seems to be more common when working in a document with many layers. If I open a new blank document, I can't get the glitch to work at all, but if I create a stack of layers with a few brush marks in each, the glitch can be reproduced easily almost 100 percent of the time.
    Some more details:
    -It happens with all Intuos drivers currently available via Wacom, including the ones on the legacy drivers page.
    -The glitch is ONLY present in Photoshop CC 2014, not in older versions. However, I do not wish to roll back because I am working on a Surface Pro 3 and want to be able to pan and zoom using touch, which was only introduced in this version.
    -It happens on all computers running Window 8/8.1, as well as the Windows 10 Technical Preview (I work for a tech company and have access to all varieties of test machines). Curiously, it does not seem to occur in Windows 7. I am able to reproduce the glitch immediately on every non-Win7 machine I install PS CC 2014 on. However, I require Windows 8+ for its touch-friendly features on the Surface.
    -The glitch happens with (seemingly) all Intuos tablets, not just my Intuos 3 tablet. I actually purchased a new Intuos 4 from Best Buy to see if that would resolve the issue, but it persisted exactly the same.
    -It does NOT occur when drawing on the screen with the N-Trig pen that came with my SP3 -- it ONLY occurs when using a Wacom tablet.
    And here's the big one:
    -De-selecting "Use Windows Ink" under the "mapping" tab in my Intuos settings causes the issue to go away entirely, but also disables pressure sensitivity, so this is not a viable option.
    My suspicion is that this is some weird incompatibility between Photoshop CC 2014 and the Windows Ink API (my understanding is that this version of Photoshop ditched the old Wintab API for Windows Ink). Hopefully it will be ironed out in a future PS CC update.
    In the mean time, does anybody have any ideas? I'm also posting at some Photoshop forums, but I figured someone here might be able to help. This is driving me absolutely up the wall.

    You fail to mention which Wacom Intuos and which Wacom drivers have installed.  I do not have your problems on my Windows 7 Workstation or my Surface Pro 3 Windows 8.1  with the Intuos Pro with Wacom version 6.3.11w3 device driver.  I have no problem using Shortcuts like undo and redo or using my intuos gestures for them here is my PS system info for my surface Pro 3

  • New Macbook Pro 2012 keeps freezing (HELP!!)

    It keeps freezing, it happens after a few hours, sometimes after a few minutes!!
    First, the app (google chroome, safari, skype)  and then, the finder... I can move the cursor but it doesn't respond, the beach ball won't stop spinning and I had to force shut down by holding the power button (not once...two, three or four times a day)
    I've done everything, disk utility almost every day (repair permissions), resetting the pram... I don't know what else to do... I was thinking about buying 8GB RAM (2x 4) but I don't want to waste my money if it's not going to work...
