IMac freezing during downloading
When downloading videos from the internet my iMac frequently freezes, though the cursor still moves. I cannot force quit, but must shut down the computer. On startup I get a message saying "the name of your computer is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to . . ." This is happening with different browsers including Safari and Whitehat Aviator. I'm using 10.6.8. I've looked this up and fear I may have to do a clean install. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hello,
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
And/Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

IMac freezes during download of a podcast or import of a CD with iTunes
Downloading a podcast or the import of a CD makes my iMac freeze quite often, at least occasionally. Sometimes iMac freezes just playing a song. I have got MacOS 10.6.8 and the latest iTunes version. I'm afraid there is a corrupted song somewhere. How can I find it?
This problem has been driving me crazy for some time. It happens when any of my podcasts finish downloading while I am watching another video podcast. The video podcast I am currently watching pauses for usually at least 30 seconds but progresses without the playback. I am running iTunes on my Macbook Pro with 2GB ram. I assumed for the longest time it was the 5400 rpm drive but I'm not sure. I hope someone has a helpful hint! TIA, Brian

Purchases freeze during download
For some reason, my purchases freeze during download. No matter how many times I restart, quit iTunes, etc., the downloads won't restart. The status bar indicates that the purchases are downloading, and the arrow-circle thing is spinning, but no progress is made.
Weirdly, if I go to another computer that is authorized, and sign into iTunes, check for purchases, the purchases download with no problem.I've had the same problem about 10 different times over the past two months, mainly while downloading TV shows. I contacted Apple the first three or four times, and always got the same response - check for purchases and it should resume downloading. Clearly, this is NOT a fix for this problem and it would be nice if someone would acknowledge the problem and post a solution.
FYI, the movies do get "unstuck" one to three days later, but clearly this is beyond frustrating, especially when you want to watch the next episode of your favorite show.

Imac freezes during start-up. Seems to be caused by Airport issue.
My Imac freezes during startup. I have tried starting it in safe mode without any luck. After the initial start sequence when it gets to this point: Airport linkup en1, the computer starts writing the same line endlessly: com.apple.launch [1] (com.apple.mDNSRsponder [2710]): posix_spawnp (“/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder”,...): No such file or directory
I am not a technician and new to Macs too. I have tried almost everything in the supportfile about freeze issues. I am not able to start the Mac in safe mode. I have repaired the disk. I have tried reinstalling the software, but this fails too.
Did a couple of changes on the timecapsule before it happened (creating a network and new security settings and backup settings) and installed Photoshop Elements 9 and did a lot of file restructuring. Left the computer open and came back to a blue screen. Since then I have been unable to start.
My macbook works fine with the changes. I am stuck - what to try now?
I need my files and they are luckily on the timecapsule, but i am not able to open the imac-bundle file on the macbook, why?
Thanks for helping.did a lot of file restructuring.
In Finder>Go>enter /usr/sbin do you see mDNSResponder listed there?

Imac freezes during startup stops @ blue screen & have tried everything
My imac freezes during startup, it gets to blue screen and just sits. I have tried to boot from the Leopard 10.5 install disk, and just sits, can't get to log in screen. Have run the disk utility and it says disk appears to be ok, Won't startup up in safe boot, blue screen just sit. Have tried 'fsck' fix, just sits at blue screen. Have reset PRAM, I don't know want else to try. Disk utility & "fsck" says 'disk appears to be ok'. When exiting fsck, it will start the process then stops. Does anyone have any suggestions, I have not tried to reinstall 10.5 yet.
Thanks in advance
PaulaAfter reading resolutions TS1541 & other threads, I decided to try to archive & reinstall 10.5 from install disc. Well that made things worse, sometime during reinstall, system locked up, I looked at the log during install & it had been locked up about 3 hours and now I have nothing. no systems files, using Target( firewire cable) disc with my macbook, I can see I have previous system folder & a folder that say system. but Install disc does not see OS.
Do I need to take it to an apple store for repair or what. It's only 3 years old.
please help

Since a few days my iMac (newest version running Mountain Lion) freezes during TC backups. Since TC is set to backup every hour my computer freezes every hour - the MAC wheel pops up and keeps spinning.
Once I abort the TC backup it takes about half a minute for iMac to become responsive again.
Is there a solution for this problem - of course besides turning off TC and TM.
ThanksThe episode below started at 06.20.32 (it began when TC started backingup). I tried closing an application and launching Console - without success.
At 06.23.11 I tried stopping the backup and shutting down TC (I think it shows first at 06.23.15).
At 06.23.41 my iMac was responsive again.
The info below only covers 06.23.04 till 06.23.45 (it seems way too much data and I don't know what's useful and what isn't).
Thanks

IMac freezes after downloading Macromedia Flash and Shockwave
I just got my iMac less than a month ago. It ran fine until I downloaded the latest versions of Macromedia Flash and Shockwave in order to view certain websites. Since then, my iMac freezes about once a day. How do I uninstall Flash and Shockwave to determine if they are the cause of the freezes?
iMac 20" 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) 128MB VRAM, 2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GBI have a gut feeling it's Shockwave that is causing the freezes. If you aren't familiar with Spotlight yet, it's the icon with a blue circle top right in your Menu. Click the Spotlight icon, in the Search field type in Shockwave. That will give you a list of where the Shockwave folders are and the components. Drag the Shockwave files to the Trash and empty the Trash.
As far as Flash is concerned, I've been using Macromedia's Flash with Safari for years without a glitch, but that's just my experience. If it were me, I'd trash Shockwave and see how your iMac behaves before I did anything about Flash
Also, there's a great disk utility that can help keep your iMac running stable and it's free. Here's where you can get it: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html Download and install. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts... once a week!

Ipod stops/freezes during downloading
I have a click wheel black and white screen ipod. I have had no problems until I took it and tried to download the music from my girls imac g5. I went through all the questions, like you will erase your content and download the new songs etc. It started to download and would get to about 130 songs then stop. I have done the 5r's a zilion times with both of our computers with the same results. When it freezes it still makes noises as if its thinking, and I have also heard repetitive clicking on a time frame of 8 seconds or so. It does download, but only the first 130 songs or so. Can anyone help!

ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)More info:
I found a program at download.com called TuneTech (http://prosoftengineering.com/products/tunetech_info.php)
Every time i did a scan on my iPod's hard disk, the scan would lock up once it had gotten to block 114,688
My theory is that's the bad part of the hard drive that files plug up at, kinda like a bottleneck on the freeway... except this isn't a slow down, it's a total lane-blocker!!! -
Imac freezing during star craft 2 load screen
iMac has been freezing at the load screen of SC2. It usually happens after I've been binge playing for 3-4 consecutive hours. I can still skype and talk to people if I've had it up and running before the freeze. Skype continues to work, but then SC2 load screen comes up and I can't navigate or shrink the window to be able to do anything else.
I'm wondering if it's overheating right around the 4 hour mark? And if this is normal for an iMac?Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

10.4.11 imac freezing during shutdown
Hi, discovered my mother has been turning her imac off at the wall every night because when she tries to shutdown it freezes. It freezes at the point when the circular lines are spinning. Any suggestions?
Hi Alexis, and a warm welcome to the forums!
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Reboot, test again. -
App store application freezes during downloads.
a few days ago Aperture (bought in the App Store) no longer reacted when trying to start it. I erased it. Now everytime i try to reinstall from the App store
(it shows up correctly under bought items) the App Store application freezes. Any advice how to solve this problem?Hi,
Use AppDelete to make sure all the Aperture associated files are removed from the hard disk.

Then restart your Mac and follow the instructions at this link to re download the app.

So I was working on my iMac the other day and all of a sudden the screen went blank (grey screen). Turned it off using the power button and restarted it. I get the chime and the apple logo coming up with the scrolling wheel below but then the screen goes blank and I can't get any further than that.
Have tried booting up in safe mode (Shift), verbose (Cmd+V), starting in Recovery System (Cmd+R), Single User Mode (Cmd+S) and resetting the NVRAM/PRAM (Option + Cmd + P + R). Nothing has worked. Always get to the apple logo and scrolling wheel only to freeze on a gray screen after that.
Can't find my Install Disc but have tracked one down that I'm going to try tomorrow.
Besides the Install Disc does anyone have any suggestions that could help me out? Only have a portion of my HD backed up (stupid I know) so really hoping this issue is solveable and that I can salvage what I have on that computer.
Thanks!!Try booting while holding down the Option key.
Theoretically that should launch the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
The original install disc cannot repair the startup disk on a Mac running v10.7 Lion. Only OS X Recovery -
Itunes 10.5 freezes during download!?
Hi So I just got the new ipod touch which requires the newest version of itunes. But whenever I try to download the bar freezes when it says "installing...", about 80%. My whole computer ends up freezing and I have to restart it. I've tried uninstalling it but it also freezes when it says it is trying to collect memory. I am so stuck and have no clue what I should do! Please help!
ThanksIf you can't download it from here, then there is a server issue---

IMac freezes during 10.10.1 install, needs full-on Time Machine Restore.
I failed to use Disk Utility to Verify/Repair permissions before the 10.10 -> 10.10.1 upgrade on a 27" iMac (early 2009, first 27").
The computer restarts and partway through the grey-screen with progress bar, the iMac simply, stops.
I eventually have to power down, and always the same stop.
I boot into the Recovery area, where Disk Utility Repair Permissions first said the drive was un-fixable, then ran fine and made repairs and said it was fine.
I then had to restore the entire machine from Time Machine since it WOULD NOT recover enough to boot.
Time Machine restore was amazing. Many hours, but it restored the iMac to the previous state from the day before, including what e-mails were open.
I figured all the diagnostics had "shaken up" the drive enough to try 10.10.1 again, but the same result. Partway through grey-screen with progress bar, permanent freeze.
Needed 2nd Time Machine restore.
Now I'm afraid to try again.
Is that a dead sector on the hard drive? On a system file that's never used? So confusing. I wish a scan could find it and mark it as unusable.
5 year old Mac drive though. Could be getting Tired.
Thoughts welcome.I boot into the Recovery area, where Disk Utility Repair Permissions first said the drive was un-fixable, then ran fine and made repairs and said it was fine.
To be clear, use Disk Utility's Repair Disk function, not Repair Disk Permissions. Once it finishes, back up that disk's contents to another device, preferably two or more, and then discard it. If you are concerned about securing its contents, physically destroy it first.
A permanent repair for hard disk corruption does not exist. Firmware contained within the hard disk drive already automatically maps bad sectors "unusable" as you desire. The problem is that as a disk ages and is subject to the inevitable environmental abuse that occurs with all consumer electronics, the number of bad sectors will increase exponentially with time. Replace it. -
Hi,
I am knowledgable about Macs (used them since '84 and Apple II before that) - well, I was enjoying another insomniac session with the excellent Redline racing game when suddenly the machine locks up. Freezes, completely. I didn't get the kernal panic screen... just a still image of my current car skidding around some corner... frozen solid. Command-Option-ESC does nothing... I couldn't see what was happening but hoped I could Force Quit somehow. I needed to do a hard restart.
This happened several more times after rebooting each time. The machine would lock up after about 5 or 10 minutes of play. So, I reset the SMU... no luck. So, I reset the PRAM. No luck. Then, I reset the NVRAM (open firmware)...still no luck. I wrote to Ambrosia and asked for support figuring it was Redline. No luck.... The problem showed up while playing another game as well (Star Wars Battlefront)...
Long story short... after taking it to my local Apple Store (no luck there) and doing a clean reinstall of Tiger (still no luck)...
After a few minutes of playing any graphics-intensive games my iMac locks up.
Oh, and I used the hardware test that came with the iMac... all systems checked out normally... logic board, RAM, everything.
Thanks,
Jon W. Barto
PS - No new hardware added recently. Games ran fine until this past month... machine is 1 and 1/2 years old. Not an extended warranty issue... it's a revB iMac.
PPS - Follow up to my own post: This morning I removed one of the two 512 MB RAM modules and was able to play my Star Wars game for about 4 levels... 2 to 3 times longer than before. It still froze however, but after a long while. My friend who is one of those alpha-geeks told me that it may have been because most of the RAM was allocated to the OS while the game was running off the hard drive (virtual memory). This makes sense. I am running Rember on the installed RAM right now (the Apple RAM that came with the iMac) to see if it really is defective. Then I am going to install my 3rd party RAM by itself and see if it locks up with just that installed.
I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Still, any advice would be helpful if I am missing something. Thanks.Hi, Jon W. Barto
just two remarks:
a) the hardware test of apple does not find all
problems; it frequently tests hardware good, which
isn't. so it is ok, if it tells you about a hardware
problem, but it might be not ok, if everything tests
fine.
b) you are certainly aware that you can check the
memory use with the system monitor. thsi might help
you to identify whether you freezing problems are
caused by a shortage in RAM.
My iMac was running with 1 GB of RAM... I don't think there was a shortage. Also, I cannot use System Monitor (you mean Activity Monitor) while I am playing a game.
c) (I apparently cannot count: a, b, c is more than
2)
could it be a logic board problem? How old is your
iMac? you are certainly aware as a long user of macs,
that the iMac G5 had some bad batches, and there is
an extended garantee, if you machine falls into these
batches. check the Apple pages for mor info about
this.
Mine is a rev B iMac... my RMS (I think that's what it's called) did fall under the Power Supply extended warranty agreement, but it is not a power supply issue. The lady at the Apple Store said that it might be the logic board also.
please, report back with the outcome.
Thomas
BTW, does anyone know if replacing the logic board will solve the problem permanently, or is it a temp. solution until it craps out again?
