IMac G5 freezes regularly under leopard

Hey. I have a 17' imac G5 2GHz. After installing Leopard a few weeks ago my iMac has started freezing randomly. The entire system locks up, mouse doesn't move, keyboard does nothing, display freezes. If iTunes is playing music it will loop half a second of audio continuously. After a few minutes the fans go insane. The only way out is to hold down the power button to turn it off.
I have reset the PRAM and SMU, repaired permissions, run disk first aid, and tried unplugging USB peripherals.
I have not been able to isolate a cause for the freeze, it seems to just happen randomly, usually about once a day. Under Tiger my imac never did this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

You could try to set up another admin user for testing to see if the problem is with the OS, your user or a startup program that's not compatible with Leopard.
If the test user doesn't have any problems, then you remove startup programs, if the test user still has problems you can do an archive and install from the boot DVD. It will replace your OS, but leave your user files and settings alone.
If you do the archive and install, you update to the latest version of Leopard and use Disk Utility to repair your permissions.

  • IMac 2011 freezes regularly but no solution?

    Hi,
    My friend has a 2011 iMac, running Snow Leopard (latest version). Recently, he told me that his iMac would freeze, either while surfing the net, downloading, Facebook, or just using applications. This freezing would force him to shut down and restart, where it sometimes freezes again about an hour later. During these freezes, the mouse becomes inactive. Sometimes when it falls asleep, it also freezes on wake, so he has to shut it down and restart.
    I suggest he take it in to the Apple Store for a Genius appointment. The Genius conducted what sounds like an extreme stress test and couldn't recreate the error. Running multiple Youtube videos, and apparently UNIX script in the background that sounds like it was testing the CPU. Despite all this stress testing and the Genius' Apple Hardware Test, everything seemed OK. His only suggestion was to "turn it off" more frequently. The only other suggestion was a clean install of Snow Leopard (or other).
    Since then, the freezing continues. My friend has even run maintenace programs like Cocktail, etc, and run several SMART diagnostics to ensure the hard drive is OK. Still, I guess it could be the hard drive.
    Any advice? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your help, baltwo. I've asked my friends to keep the logs. Here are two that he gave me.
    Here is one report (and immediately below, another):

  • 24" iMac (White) no Airport under Leopard 10.5?

    Hi,
    I have a previous gen 24" iMac and a Netgear wireless ADSL modem router.
    All was well under 10.4 Tiger but since i upgraded to Leopard 10.5 my iMac won't connect to the router via Airport?
    Nothing has changed and the only way i can get internet is to hard wire it via ethernet cable.
    The Airport bars just show grey not black and all i get when i configure it to connect to the router is "session timed out".
    I do have wep 128 security on it but i did previously as well, so again no change there?
    Any help would be great because i use the airport for other machines to print wirelessly.
    Message was edited by: Mark Thornton

    Hi!
    I am connecting via a D-Link DIR655 11n capable router and have come across the same problem as lots of others on my Leopard based 24" white iMac. There was no problem when I had Tiger installed. I discovered that by turning off WPA (and probably any other) encryption it works. So now I have an unsecure network which is giving me nightmares.
    I read elsewhere that the work around might be to set things up so that MAC address is used as a filter. I've not tried it yet. One of these work arounds might work. Still I think its time Apple "got their finger out" and resolved this problem that's plaguing many Mac owners.

  • My imac 24" freezes daily after Leopard to snow leopard upgrade. Anyone have a solution?

    I upgraded my 24" iMac from leopard to snow leopard 10.6.8.  I have 4 gb ram and 80 gb of free disk.  The systems locks up daily.  Key board and mouse do not function.  Only solution so far is to restart.  This is not acceptable.  Help!

    Sounds like that could be content related, or permission issues. Try opening Disk Utility, and running Verify Disk. Then run Verify Disk Permissions, followed by Repair Disk Permissions.

  • Spontaneous Intel iMac Reboot under Leopard

    I have three upgraded machines running under Leopard, two MacBooks and one Intel iMac. On only the Intel iMac I am experienced what can best be described as spontaneous reboots. Suddenly while working (web browsing with Safari) the screen will blank, no sound and reboot to the login screen.
    Has happened twice in the last two days ... anyone else seeing this problem? Solution?

    Same sort of problem here. We use the machine primarily for viewing TV in the kitchen with eyeTV. There is no clear pattern to the reboots. This log shows the timestamps of recent reboots.

    Since 11/29 all other apps but eyeTV have been turned and kept off. Two reboots since. We have eyeTV running on two other machines (iMac G5 and MacPro) with no problems so we do not believe the issue is that software. Will happily provide syslogs to Apple if they are interested.

  • Is this the infamous iMac interface freeze?

    I have a brand new Aluminum iMac that's less than a month old. After reading about other new iMac owners experiencing Mac OS freezing on them because of a possible graphics driver issue, I decided not to do the iMac 1.1 update while I was on Tiger. My iMac has been working great with no freezing or lockups.
    After upgrading to Leopard I'm noticing that my machine will not wake from the screensaver properly. I thought at first it might not be waking from sleep, so I turned off automatic sleep, so only the screensaver will come on, and monitor energy save.
    For example, this morning I left the house with the iMac on. 15 minutes later the screen saver came on, then another 15 minutes later, the display was automatically turned off. I came back a couple of hours later and moved the mouse. The display came back on, and I can see the mouse arrow move along with the mouse. The rest is a blank screen. The screensaver (arabesque) isn't showing. I let it sit for 10 minutes with no change.
    I ssh'ed into the iMac and didn't noticed anything out of the ordinary doing a "ps". Nothing was eating up the CPU cycles or taking up unusually large amount of RAM.
    I tried to turn the iMac off by holding down the power button. This actually ended up putting it into sleep mode. When I pressed the power button again, it woke up from its sleep and gave me a login window. I can move my mouse but it doesn't respond to clicks. Also unfortunately I can't type my password. My keyboard is dead. The mouse is connected through the keyboard, and the keyboard's caps lock key responds.
    As a test I tried using VNC to get into the iMac, but unfortunately I can't type my password in that way either.
    I also tried plugging in a different mouse and keyboard at this point, and same problem.
    My only way out is to hold down the power button again to shut it off, and start it back up from scratch.
    Is this the iMac interface freeze people are talking about? Or is this a new problem? Anyone know what's going on? Thanks for your help!

    I should also add that at the time of the freeze, I only had Entourage, Quicksilver, Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adium, and Suitcase Fusion running.
    Also this problem only seems to happen when the machine's idle for several hours. If I try to resume right after the monitor energy saver kicks in, I'm able to revive it.

  • How do I deactivate PS CS3 under Leopard?

    We bought a Mac Pro but are keeping the old iMac around for light work. I need to deactivate Photoshop CS3 on the iMac so I can activate my license on the Mac Pro. Unfortunately, under Leopard the Photoshop help menu has been replaced with Leopard's help menu so the deactivate option is not where Adobe says it should be. How do I go about deactivating my Photoshop license?

    Mark, unless you need to install a copy on a laptop, you are allowed activation on two computers.
    This is from adobe's site:
    "The activation process supports installation on two machines. The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously. While the activation process supports installing and activating Adobe software on two machines, the usage of the product on the second computer is restricted to the user who licensed the software. Allowing others to use a second copy of the software violates the product license agreement."
    http://www.adobe.com/products/activation/
    I keep a copy on a second computer, a laptop, in case I need to work on a project whilst backing up or updating software.

  • Using Encore 3 Under Leopard 10.5.4

    I have recently purchased the Adobe Production Premium package and successfully prepared several Blu-ray and standard definition DVD's using Encore 3. However, whenever I attempt to output any of these DVD's to Flash Video by selecting Build>Output to Flash from within Encore 3, my menus transcode, but when Encore gets to my timeline video, the progress bar goes to about 20% almost instantly and remains there forever. I have tried several different types of video files including short Quicktime movies created in Final Cut Pro as well as other formats in the Encore 3 timeline. The result is always as given above. When this happens, I finally have to Force Quit Encore 3 because selecting cancel on the transcode give me an endlessly spinning beach ball.
    I am running Encore 3 (latest updates installed) on an 8-core Mac Pro (Early 2008 model) with 12 GB of RAM and under Leopard 10.5.4 (latest version with all updates installed). I have successfully transcoded these timelines that seem to freeze Encore 3 using MPEG SlipStream so I know the files are OK.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any solution to the problem? Does output to Flash simply not work under Leopard?
    I have posted this problem on both the Adobe Encore User Forum and written to Adobe Tech Support. I have received no response from Adobe.
    Thank you in advance for responding.
    Tom

    Since no one replied, I can now confirm that the failure of Adobe Encore CS3 to successfully build a DVD to Flash Video is a known problem which has been confirmed by Adobe Technical Support. The feature works perfectly under Windows XP or Vista and it did work in Leopard on an earlier version of Quicktime, specifically Quicktime. specifically Quicktime 7.3.1. However, under the latest version of Quicktime (7.5), the Build to Flash Video feature in Encore CS3 has been broken. I have provided detailed feedback to Apple on this issue. One can only hope that in a future release of Quicktime, the problem will be corrected.

  • Outputting a DVD To Flash Video in Encore 3 Under Leopard

    This topic is indirectly related to Final Cut Pro 6 (since it is the source of my Quicktime movies in Encore 3) and I post it here because I have had no luck getting any responses on other forums including the Creative Cow and Adobe forums.

    I have written to Adobe Tech Support. I have received no response from Adobe. I feel that someone on this forum must be using Encore 3 (since it is one of the few ways of getting Blu-ray DVD authoring on the Mac) and has tried to output the DVD as Flash video from within Encore 3. I am simply trying to determine (1) if this is a known issue when running Encore 3 under Leopard; (2) if there is any fix to get Output to Flash working from within Encore 3.
    Thank you in advance for responding.
    Tom

    David,
    My hat is off to you for persevering with Encore 3 and getting it to output flash video. AFter reading that you had gotten it to work, I was inspired to try once again. This time I encoded my timeline to DVCPro HD by exporting the FCP project to Compressor. I then took this timeline (an 11 minute video) into Encore 3 and tried to build a flash DVD. I have a main menu and scene selection menu, and they both transcoded fine in about 20 minutes, but once again when Encore got to my timeline, the progress bar moved to about 1-2% and simply stayed there. After 7 hours I finally gave up and canceled the transcode which had never progressed any further and did a Force Quit on Encore.
    I noticed in doing the above, that during the transcode of the menus Activity Monitor shows my cpu is reading 170-190 and varying as you would expect. Once Encore hits my timeline and begins the transcode of that, the cpu drops to 100 and remains there with no real sign of activity.
    Can you tell me if your DVD that you successfully output to flash with Encore 3 had chapter marks in it? I am wondering if they could be the trouble. Some people have indicated that they solved the problem by going back to an earlier version of Quicktime. I am using version 7.5 of Quicktime, which is the latest version. Can you tell me what version of Quicktime you are using on the Mac that succeeded in outputting to Flash video using Encore 3?
    Thanks again for your help.

  • My iMac keeps freezing on me. I don't know what's wrong. I restart comp and within 5min it would freeze. How do I fix this problem?

    While my iMac keeps freezing on me, is there a way I can try backing up my comp as well?

    If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, and it's not already backed up, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • My iMac keeps freezing up

    My iMac will freeze up and I have to hold the power button to shut it off.  I have used Disk Doctor to clear off unused files and have had Disk Utility check the hard disk and it is functioning properly.  No malware or viruses as far as I can tell.  I am on OS 10.6.8 with a 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor and 2 Gb of RAM.  Can someone help me figure out why my computer is freezing?  Thanks!

    OK, then that's not the issue. So give this a try:
    Boot into Safe Mode then do the following:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Permission Repair takes AGES under Leopard

    I have noticed that under Leopard permission repair can take over 20 minutes to complete. On the same machine using Tiger it was only a matter of 2 minutes (at most). Does anyone have an explanation, fix or idea that might point me in the right direction? It's not as if the machine that I'm using is underpowered and the problem doesn't appear to be connected with the size of the machine anyway; my MacBook Pro takes less time (about 4 minutes) than my 3.0 GHz Xeon Quad for permission repair of the system disk.....
    Thanks for your help!

    Repairing permissions w/Leopard takes anywhere from 10-40 minutes, depending on what's installed and what's contained in /Library/Receipts/bom/. The repair permissions operation has changed in Leopard. The stalled progress bar is an unresolved bug (they haven't figured out how to make it work whilst it's checking or rebuilding the a.receiptdb, in /Library/Receipts/db/. To see what's really going on, open that folder in a Finder window, select list view, launch Disk Utility, select your boot volume, and click on repair permissions. Watch the Finder window flash files that are being read and checked against the current a.receiptdb file. That's what's taking all the time and freezing the progress bar. Once that's finished, the progress bar starts moving and the permissions are being checked and repaired. Also note, that you won't get any *they were repaired* message back for any that are noted to be incorrect.
    Want more information? Then, search these forums for *repairing permissions* or permissions.

  • My MacBook Air is freezing regularly

    My wife's MacBook Air is freezing regularly. I reinstalled Mavericks from the Restore (cmd R).  I first erased the hard disk in Disk Utility and then reinstalled Mavericks.

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • Problems with ViaVoice under Leopard, especially key mapping problems

    ViaVoice's behavior has changed considerably under Leopard. First I will discuss the key mapping problem, since I'm eagerly looking for an answer to this problem. At the end of this post, I will voice some of the other problems I've experienced for those who may be interested. The key mapping problem may be specific to the fact that I use a foreign keyboard with a US version of ViaVoice.
    INTRO:
    I have used ViaVoice on my Mac for years, more or less without problems (ViaVoice's bugginess is notorious).
    Those who know ViaVoice will know that one has two general options for dictation. One can dictate into ViaVoice's so-called SpeakPad, which allows special formatting, editing and dictation error correction within the dictated text, or one can dictate into "external" software such as Microsoft Word, in which case ViaVoice just sends a string of characters to that software. SpeakPad appears to make strong use of the operating system's built-in functionality for character formatting, document formatting, etc.
    *MY PROBLEM*
    I have a German keyboard on my PowerBook, yet dictate in US English. When I dictated into SpeakPad under Tiger, all characters appeared correctly. However, when I dictated into Microsoft Word using Tiger, I had to switch the keyboard mapping from German to US to get all characters (that means including the characters that are located at different positions on a German keyboard than they are on a US keyboard such as y, z, apostrophes and parentheses) to appear correctly.
    Under Leopard, things have changed. Now it doesn't matter whether I dictate into SpeakPad or Word; the results are the same and many characters do not appear correctly.
    If set to a German keyboard, y and z appear as expected. To name a few irregularities:
    "(" appears as ")"
    ")" appears as "="
    apostrophes appear as "#" and
    ";" appears as ","
    If set to a US keyboard, y and z are interchanged. "(" and ")" appear as expected. Apostrophes appear as "\" and ";" appears as ","
    By comparison, if typed (as opposed to dictated, as in the examples above) "correctly" (i.e. based on the letters printed on the keyboard) on a German keyboard set to imitate a US keyboard:
    y and z are interchanged
    apostrophes appear as "|"
    "(" appears as "*"
    ")" appears as "(" and
    ";" appears as the symbol for "less than"
    Since I don't have a US keyboard, I can't say how it would behave if set to imitate a German keyboard, i.e. if there's a correlation to the results I get when I dictate.
    Since I was previously able to dictate correctly into SpeakPad by setting the keyboard to "German" and into Word by setting the keyboard to "US," I presume that this is a problem in Leopard, not ViaVoice.
    *OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VIAVOICE UNDER LEOPARD*
    In addition to the aforementioned key mapping problems (that may be specific to those of us with foreign keyboards), ViaVoice appears to have lost considerable functionality in Leopard. I cannot access SpeakPad's Preferences and the correction window. Moreover, the traffic-light like window buttons have disappeared from the VoiceCenter (although they work if you click where they should be). SetupAssistent appears to function.
    I've written to Nuance about these problems, but have little hope that they will invest the time in producing a patch since they haven't released any updates since 2003.

    Thrums1,
    I've never had to "register" ViaVoice after updating the system. I thus suspect you haven't fully followed my above, three-step advice (particularly step 3).
    1) Reinstall ViaVoice from CD.
    2) Update to the latest version (using the patch downloadable from Nuance's website).
    3) Replace the “temp” and “users” folders (in the "ViaVoice" folder at the upper level of your home directory) by a previous copy thereof. When I say previous copy, I mean a copy from when ViaVoice was still working properly, e.g. a copy from when it was running under Tiger.
    As I said, I've gotten ViaVoice to survive several system updates by following the above steps. To my knowledge, the last step is critical since it saves you from having to reconfigure ViaVoice under the new operating system (in this case Leopard). I suspect that ViaVoice is crashing on your system because it's trying to start some module of the SetUpAssistant that is incompatible with Leopard (as many are). If you instead use old copies of the "temp" and "users" folders (from the previous system), then ViaVoice doesn't have to go through the initial "registration" process; ViaVoice doesn't need the SetUpAssistant; and all is (more or less) fine.
    Good luck!
    BTW, to my knowledge, Dictate only runs on Intel Macs. It thus won't run on a G4 iBook, just as it won't run on my PowerBook G4.

  • Workaround to import video in FCP 6.0.5 under Leopard

    On behalf of a FCP user under Leopard with FCP 6.0.5 I would like to ask you how to import video from a Panasonic camcorder using some strange format. The workaround now is to import it on another machine under Snow Leopard with iMovie, export it as one .mov 'for computer use' and import it in FCP 6.0.5 on the Leopard machine. The video from the camcorder does not play under Leopard, probably because of the QT version 7.6.6.
    The Panasonic camcorder has an SD card with video which is recognised as a Camera Archive. It has folders with a name like PRG001 containing files like MOV001.MOD and MOV001.MOI and PRG001.PGI.
    Possibly there is some plugin, extention or other workaround?
    It is currently too expensive to upgrade FCP 6.0.5 to the latest version, although the 2006 MacBook Pro with Intel might be able to run it. I was advised not to upgrade to Snow Leopard without upgrading FCP, because it will cause all kinds of trouble.

    Although I would still need to buy the "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X" to work with it, right? At least that is what MPEG Streamclip suggests when I try to open the MOVxxx.MOD files with it.
