IBooks iOS7 often locks up after I look up a word.

Anybody else having this problem?
iBooks often becomes unresponsive after looking up a definition for a word while reading.
Will need to go to multitask view and kill the process then restart the app.

Hello CrispNClean,
It sounds like the iBooks app on your iPhone is not responding after trying to define a word. I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this (you can skip step 3 since it is not related to this issue):

Are business accounts "screwed" out of devices with iOS7 iCloud Lock?

I manage cell phones and records with a company with about 1000 lines including iPhones and iPads. The thing i feared, which came reality happened last week. When an employee is terminated, we take their phone and or tablet, and computer before they leave that day. I have an employee who was rather angry at termination and tossed his phone and computer and left. Now that i have the employees iphone 5s, when i go to restore the phone, it asks for his information to his iCloud. As you can assume, the ex-employee was very unwilling to cooperate, so now by apple's means, it seems that we have a very expensive brick, as can possibly turn into a HUGE issue for this company. We will likely have to stop supporting apple devices running iOS7 and later.
I've looked and there seems to be no bypass, i see this becoming a HUGE issue for businsses down the road. I really don't understand why apple would have not thought about these scenarios while developing the feature. While it is a nice feature to have personally, this is a terrible business idea.

The way we address this situation is the same as with any other company - issued equipment. The employee must return any equipment in working order, otherwise he or she forfeits any severance or final paycheck. An iPhone / iPad that has been disabled with Activation Lock is not considered "in working order".
I have an employee who was rather angry at termination and tossed his phone and computer and left.
Surely you didn't pay they guy after that. It's no different than wrecking a company car or running up a credit card.

HP Pavilion G7 notebook locks up after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Looking for some help & advice here.....
I upgraded my HP Pavilion G7 notebook from Windows to Windows 8.1......and now it appears to lock up after a while.
I have a Ralink RT3290 adapter and saw that may be a new driver will fix this problem but I'm not sure
Other system info:
Product # C2M35UAR#ABA
System Board 1845 56.32
System BIOS F.24
Any help appreciated here.....
Many Thanks!

@cpal
I did some searching for you looking for any updated drivers that might work. The problem is that Ralink was bought out a few years ago, and many of the Ralink devices do not have Windows 8.1 drivers, even from them. Given the choice it would be better to use the HP versions if windows 8 versions are the only option because at least the driver would have been somewhat customized to be compatible with the normal set of hardware in a HP notebook.
Here are a few you can try that may help:
MediaTek(Ralink)802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN (WLAN) Adapter
Ralink 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN Adapter Driver
Hopefully one of those will work for you, otherwise we can only look for MediaTek to make an updated driver for windows 8.1 in the future.
And if you are interested here is a blurb on Ralink - wikipedia.org

My computer is slow, freezes, and often locks-up. What to do?

HP Pavilion Elite HPE
No matter what we do our computer is slow, freezes, and often locks-up.
We use system Mechanic, defraging, and windows security essentials but nothing works. Please help

DO not try to use things like "Double my speed. com". First thing is you didn't state how old you PC is. Have you tried clearing/deleting all history and temp files from ALL user accounts? Next, what type of anti virus do you have? Norton, just about every version is known to slow your PC, but not to the extent of causing major frustration and they do have a start up manager which allows you to run only certain programs at start up, and will only let them run when requested by you. How much memory do you have? This is always a big factor, you may need to install more memory. I think your problem is in the memory capacity, clear out and delete files/folders not in use and you may also want to delete programs that are rarely used or programs that you may not know are installed in your PC by some download you may have performed. You also might want to look at what process are running (you might have high cpu usage) and disable what is not necessary Hope this helps.

HT1222 Why does my 4s just close an app all of the sudden and the apple logo will come up like it's shutting down but doesn't it will go to lock screen after that

Why does my 4s just close an app all of the sudden and the apple logo will come up like it's shutting down but doesn't it will go to lock screen after that.

It's definitely a crash. I'd maybe look into reinstalling the operating system.

Make sure you back up first though.

Computer locks up after an hour of being idle?

computer locks up after an hour of being idle

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. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. 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).
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.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

My Safari often locks up can i do anything to stop it happening ...

my Safari often locks up can i do anything to stop it happening, by which i mean there is probably a procedure i can do to find out why it locks up, like looking in a log file or similar, no doubt you guys know exactly what to do if it happens to you.
i really did think that this "locking up" was a thing of the past since i moved from Windows !, Blue screen of death etc. , mind you Win7 wasnt ever as bad as Win XP !
I saw in another post that there is/are a couple of files i can delete, is this normal ?, when i asked about that, a kind chap (~Bee) suggested i started a post of my own, so here i am, thanks.

Hi,
Follow the instructions I posted previously for troubleshooting third party plugins. Plugins are responsible for 1/3 of the problems with Safari.
For Extensions.. there's another way to check besides the menu bar.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Safari folder then the Extensions folder.
If you see any Extensions there, drag them to the Desktop. Restart Safari. If it doesn't freeze then move one Extension at a time back to the Extensions folder, try Safari. Process of elimination.
Try Safari in another user account. If it freezes there, then log back into your admin account. Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions here for Using Disk Utility to Verify or Repair Disks

Hi Carolyn, i do appreciate the advice you are giving, but freezing has only happened a couple of times and i am sure youre advice is for folk in a far deeper mess than i, but it is definitely worth my while bookmarking this thread for when things do get bad.
Furthermore i dont have an Extensions folder at all AND i dont believe i have any 3rd Plug installed either.
thanks for all you help both Carolyn and ~Bee

System lock-ups after upgrading to Tiger

This topic was previously posted in 'Installation & Setup'.
After 3 days (and 18 views) I got no replies.
Maybe that forum was not appropriate, so I decided to try it in this forum.
About 4 months ago I exchanged my 80 GB Hd in favor of an 200 GB Maxtor 6L200P0. One day later I upgraded OS X 10.3.9 to Tiger (retail DVD).
At that time I experienced a frequent (several times a day) lock-up of my system.
No messages, nothing, not even after powering down and restarting.
After some time I figured out that the lock-ups occurred on Internet access. Clicking on a link in Safari, posting messages on Discussions. Even Mail locked the system a few times. Also Corripio (artwork and lyrics finder for iTunes) caused the system to lock.
After that, I decided to perform an Archive & Install (first time after almost 4 years of using this Mac). Except from having to re-install a number of 3rd party apps. the system seemed to perform well. No lock-ups were experienced for a few weeks.
Problem solved, I thought.
Although far less frequent than before, I do experience those annoying lock-ups a few times a week.
Here are my questions:
What could be the cause of the lock-up?
Is is advisable to perform a Clean Install? What advantage do I have of, it opposite to performing an A&I. I'm reluctant to perform a clean install at the moment, because I haven't found a few serials of commercial and shareware applications yet ( I know, I should have written them down :-/ )
Any hints/tips to track down the exact cause?
TIA
M
P.S. ( I do have a bootable complete backup of my HD on an Maxtor Onetouch II )

Hi, M.
1. You wrote: "What could be the cause of the lock-up?"The number of potential causes range from disk corruption or bad applications to serious hardware problems, such as a defective logic board.
2. You wrote: "Any hints/tips to track down the exact cause?"I suggest treating the "lock up" problem — better described as a "freezes and hangs" problem — similar to a kernel panic as the basic troubleshooting and hardware testing steps are virtually the same. See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ.
It provides a comprehensive roadmap which you should follow from beginning to end, in the order specified in the FAQ.
2. You wrote: "Is is advisable to perform a Clean Install? What advantage do I have of, it opposite to performing an A&I."The term "Clean Install" does not apply in Mac OS X. That is obsolete Mac OS 9 terminology. The closest Mac OS X equivalent to a "Clean Install" is an Archive and Install with the Preserve User and Network Settings option, which it sounds like you've already tried once previously, but you may want to try again as part of the troubleshooting process I outlined above. See my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
The other options are:
• Archive and Install without the Preserve User and Network Settings option: This reinstalls the OS and wipes out both your accounts and your network configuration, but preserves the previous System folder.
• Erase and Install: Erases the hard drive, i.e. Macintosh HD, and reinstalls the OS from scratch, preserving nothing: your accounts, network settings, and everything else on the drive are deleted.
Of those two, and since you have a bootable backup, the second (Erase and Install) would be the second-to-last thing you would try, the last being taking the machine in for service.
Good luck!

Intermittent lock up after boot

My T60 will occasionally lock up after XP boots. No mouse or kbd. I have to press the power button to shut it down and after a reboot, it works fine. IF I play with the mouse cursor as soon as it appears on the screen at boot up, it never locks up. I've tried updating the BIOS, no help. If I start the unit and let it boot up without pressing any keys or moving the mouse cursor, it will lock up.

Welcome to the forum!
How's your battery? I had a couple of machines that use to lock up like that due to defective batteries...
Cheers,

Is there a way to prevent ibooks author from shutting down after just one or two uses of the alpha tool?

Is there a way to prevent ibooks author from shutting down after just one or two uses of the alpha tool?

Hello One Job at a time,
Deleting the application will not delete your projects.
Normally I keep all my work files on a separate drive.
If you command click on the title name of your project you will get a drop down path to show you the location of your book project.
or you can click on the drop down triangle beside its name to duplicate.
Just remember where you saved the file too.
In your applications folder on your computer select the iBA icon and press delete and also erase / empty the trash can.
You can then go back to the APP STORE and install iBA from new again.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Nigel
