Imac is going crazy, please help me

My new Intel imac crashes a few minutes after booting up. Im still able to move my mouse arrow around, but everything has frozen. I cant click on anything. I tried all the diskutility checks, but to no help. When I start safari before the mac freezes safari shuts down when I try to scroll. The problem started when I tried to convert a powerpoint file to a pdf file. Another problem I have been having for a long time is that the mac goes to sleep two three times after waking up. I dont have to do a complete restart, but I do have to press the power button and hit my keyboard. Any tips

Thomas,

Another problem I have been having for a long time is that the mac goes to sleep two three times after waking up.
For this, try a simple SMC reset as described here:

    Hello Folks and Expert,
    I am Certified Ora DBA and am stuck, thats a shame
    I am going to install and Test Oracle 10g on Vista as my future client will use Just Vista and no othr OS, so there is no OTHER OS options,
    I ready all the documentaiotn and release notes and also read that Oracle 10g(10.2.0.3) is certified on Vita Ultimate.
    I downloaded the DB which is frm the below link:
    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3/10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 2008
    *** It installs but it justdoesn't work properly, PLEASE HEEEEEEELP I am running out of time.
    steps I have done:
    1. Installed loppback and tested and it works when I ping, both ping computer and ping computer.domain with no error.
    - whic means under windows>system32>driver> etc>host I added the 10.10.10.10 and cmputer name.
    2. Under MMC I added cmputer local policy for local computer
    3. Also Under "Local security setting" under "Local Policies" Under "User right Assignment" Under "Log on as a Batch job" I added the User name which was created when weload the Vista for the first time which is the Computer Admin, ALSO REALOADED THE COMPUTER WITH TH FACTORY SETTING AND AFTER THE FIST BOOT, UNLOCKED THE "ADMINISTRATOR" USER OF THE OS AND TESTED WITH THE ADMIN USER AS WELL WHICH WAS ADDED TO THIS lOG ON AS A BATCH JOB.
    4. Restarted the Computer on all the step that I had to
    5. Downloaded the DB and installed the DB, it installled without any Error
    ******************My Questions are as belooooowww ******************

  • IMac permissions going crazy! Need Help!

    When I turn on my iMac, it's fine. After I start using it for awhile, it starts going crazy on me, as if clicking back and forth between any window that is open and the desktop. Also, I try and left click on the mouse, but it acts as if it is a right click. Sometimes when I type with my keyboard, it will act as if I am holding down a key. Each action happens when I am trying to type, click, or just use any application.
    I tried to solve this issue by going into Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and clicked "Mactintosh HD", then "verify disk permissions". Once it verified it, I clicked "repair disk permissions". The issue seemed to get resolved, but only temporarily. Everytime I log on to my iMac, it keeps going crazy agian, and then I have to repair disk permissions again. I'm hoping it's not a Mac virus. Can anybody help me resolve this issue permanently? Thanks!

    Try to determine if it's a battery problem with a wireless keyboard, get a wired keyboard and mouse and reboot the machine with that and see if it continues.
    Once you have ruled out the external hardware, then we can start looking at software issues.
    Get a copy of your personal data file folders (Music, Pictures, Documents etc.) off the computer to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine) as soon as possible.

  • My display has gone crazy, please help!!!

    Well folks, you can count me in as another victim of the "checkered/blocked" display problem. It suddenly came up just a few hours ago and I,m going crazy. Have been reading some of the posts and Apple should definitely look further on this issue since it's affecting a considerable number of users. I,m not clear if my system is covered under Apple's Extension Program. My S/N begins with W8526xxxxxxx, please help us Apple.

    Hi Chasnufa!
    Basically your screen looks like an old-fashioned TV test card with blocks all over it? That happened to my imac G5 when I had only had it a short while back in 2005. I had just switched to mac and was devastated. When I rang Apple they said it was the logic board which is the most expensive part to replace apparently. I had it fixed under Applecare. I would find out if you can get it fixed under the Apple program as now it is a known fault with these models.Here is a link to the page Apple have set up about the extended repair program, it does look like your model could be one of the affected ones:

  • I just hooked up a airport express as my new router and now I cant play videos on my imac or ipad. PLEASE HELP.

    I just hooked a new airport express and now I cant play videos on my imac or ipad. I do have a sprint airave hooked up to the system. I dont know if i have all the cables hooked up right but everything works except playing videos on either device. PLEASE HELP. Thank you

    Yea rudegar its weird. I dont have sound either. I have read to put airave behind router but I cant find anywhere how to hook all the wires up. I have 2 ports in the back of the airport express(1 wan and 1 ethernet), 1 port on my modem and 3 ports on the airave(wan and 2 lan). I dont know which cable goes where, wan ,lan, ethernet, back of computer etc. Im an idiot when it comes to all this stuff but Im sure its simple fix but obviously not for me. I read people put modem to router to airave but dont say which port to put them in.

  • Imac slow and Freezes PLEASE HELP!

    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Hello i have and imac G5 i bought it in about june of 2005...
    It was running very slow and always freezing and then i upgraded the RAM to 1gb
    and it started working much better. then i upgraded to OS Leopard andalso pro tools LE 7.4
    and since then has been performing slow and freezing all the time. ai recently added another gig of RAM just to see if that was the problem , but it seems to be working just as slow. Does anybody know what it might be. Its a 1.6 GHZ power PC G5 and has a 80GB HD and have about 20 GB free so i dont think thats it. Please let me know if any of you have had this problem or know how to fix it thanks

    Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your computer.
    Repair your disk from your System DVD.
    Repairing permissions from the Tiger or Leopard DVD
    Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    If Disk First aid is able to complete the repair now click on the "Repair permissions" button.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer.
    ===============
    Get a larger HD
    ===============
    Use Software Update to update your OS to OS 10.5.6.
    Afterwards, repair permissions & restart your computer.
    Your system info confirms you are still using an outdated version - OS 10.5.4.

  • Ethernet Patch Cable from One iMac to AirPort Extreme Please help!

    Hi, I have an iMac on one side of my home office, and a cable modem connected to my AirPort Extreme. I just bought a 25 ft. patch cable to run and connect to the router for faster speeds, but it is not working. I tried connecting it to the AirPort and the modem, and I did not get a light on the AirPort extreme or on the modem (I have disabled the wireless functionality on the gateway so it is just a modem now). I noticed that the cable has metal on the sides of the plug. Does that mean anything? How can I connect this and get it working properly?
    Please help me!

    your post is a little confusing
    your imac is on one side of your home, and both your cable modem and extreme are on the other side of the house?
    temporarily move the imac to the same side and try a different cable, seems like a cable issue

  • Clip inspector-as i try to fast forward,i movie freezes and clip preview section goes blank. please help.

    As I try to fast forward my selected clip, the video preview section goes blank and the clip doesnt get fast forwarded. I have to restart the imovie in order to be able to get the preview back. and in all this, the clip inspector never works. I updated my mac's software several times hoping that it would resolve the issue but nothing of that kind happened. Please help me.
