Imac keeps freezing Problem started with Snow Leopard

After I loaded in Snow Leopard, my Imac began to have beach balls and freeze ups. Then I loaded in Lion hopeing it would help but it
seems worse with constant freeze ups. I had the compauter in for a tune up at a Mac store but it was good for a few days, but now
it seems to happen more often. I dumped Flip for Mac thinking this was causing the conflict to no avail. I have run the utility program
and it did not come up with problems

Revert to Snow Leopard and solve your SBBOD issues. Upgrading never fixes underlying issues. See http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html for more details.

    My friend has a Macbook running Lion. She uses the trackpad for her mouse. The mouse can't be controlled, except with great difficulty. It hops all around the screen at randon.

  • I have an imac 10.6.8 upgraded with snow leopard that keeps crashing

    I purchased my iMac a while back and it has ran great. When I upgraded to snow leopard I am having performance issues. I just did another small update and it seems to be crashing randomly and I have to turn it off then power it back up. Any thoughts on what it could be?
    My CPU, Virtual Memory, Hard Drive Space  are all good, mostly un-used right now. Just trying to see if there is something that is known that would cause this now that I have upgraded to SL
    Thanks

    Here is a cut and past of the log since the last reboot. let me know if you need something else. Thanks for helping.

  • Problem with Spaces that started with Snow Leopard

    I've noticed two problems with Spaces that have arrived since switching to Snow Leopard... First, if I am in say Space 1 where I use Safari and I then want to move over to an open application, say like Excel, that I have running in Space 4, there are a number of ways to get there but one way I used to use all the time was to move down to the Dock and simply single click on the open Excel application and that would immediately switch me over to Space 4 and whatever Excel documents were already open there... Now, since switching to SL, a single click of whatever application in the Dock makes that application active in the Finder (you see its name appear in the upper left of the menu bar) but otherwise nothing happens... You then have to click a second time and then you switch over to Space 4... It's not really a double click because that implies to clicks closely spaced in time... For this, you can click once, leave the room, come back, click a second time and you will now switch to the alternate space where the open application is running... That is clearly different than it was under Leopard and I would suggest that it is a bug because there is no value in the outcome of that first click... It highlights the switched application but doesn't actually switch to it until you click a second time...
    Second, and this one is worse, if you say launch Excel (which you want to open in Space 4) while you are in Space 1, Excel will open and switch over to Space 4... So far so good... But now, with Excel open over in Space 4, if you are now back and working in Space 1 and while there you use the Finder to go to some other, currently unopened, Excel file and request that it open, it should switch over to Space 4 and open that file but instead it opens it wherever you are, in the case mentioned here, in Space 1... So now you have Excel files opened both in Spaces 1 and 4... Clearly a bug... Spaces had some similar issues in a few early versions of Leopard but they eventually got it working... Now it appears Spaces has regressed somewhat in SL... I love spaces and use it all the time... Hope it gets fixed soon... thanks... bob...

    Hi... I have since learned that the first paragraph of my original post where I say,
    "I've noticed two problems with Spaces that have arrived since switching to Snow Leopard... First, if I am in say Space 1 where I use Safari and I then want to move over to an open application, say like Excel, that I have running in Space 4, there are a number of ways to get there but one way I used to use all the time was to move down to the Dock and simply single click on the open Excel application and that would immediately switch me over to Space 4 and whatever Excel documents were already open there... Now, since switching to SL, a single click of whatever application in the Dock makes that application active in the Finder (you see its name appear in the upper left of the menu bar) but otherwise nothing happens... You then have to click a second time and then you switch over to Space 4... It's not really a double click because that implies to clicks closely spaced in time... For this, you can click once, leave the room, come back, click a second time and you will now switch to the alternate space where the open application is running... That is clearly different than it was under Leopard and I would suggest that it is a bug because there is no value in the outcome of that first click... It highlights the switched application but doesn't actually switch to it until you click a second time... "
    ...that turned out to be my mistake... In another post someone pointed out that in Spaces preferences you must have checked ON the preference that says,
    "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application"...
    I had been playing with a number of things trying to figure out what was going on and somewhere in the mix had switched that off... (It is on on all my other computers and I'm sure it originally was on this one too)... When I switched it back on the above described problem went away... So that was my fault...
    But the second part,
    "Second, and this one is worse, if you say launch Excel (which you want to open in Space 4) while you are in Space 1, Excel will open and switch over to Space 4... So far so good... But now, with Excel open over in Space 4, if you are now back and working in Space 1 and while there you use the Finder to go to some other, currently unopened, Excel file and request that it open, it should switch over to Space 4 and open that file but instead it opens it wherever you are, in the case mentioned here, in Space 1... So now you have Excel files opened both in Spaces 1 and 4... Clearly a bug... "
    ...is a real problem... I fired up my G4 (power pc) that runs Leopard, 10.5.8, to see whether it behaves the above way or not and it does NOT... It works as one would expect.. So at least later in Leopard, the above mentioned problem was not present but it is in this first incarnation of Snow Leopard...
    To me, the utility of Spaces is all about keeping a single desktop from being cluttered with many open applications/files and to now have an application that opens in whatever space you happen to be in after it is first opened in its "correct" space sort of defeats the idea behind Spaces... I am currently trying to train myself to first hit <command><4> (my Excel space) before opening a second or subsequent Excel document to prevent it from opening somewhere where I don't want it to be...
    Again, I hope Apple sees and fixes this... I did submit an "Apple feedback" item for this issue... thanks... bob..

  • Can't start with Snow Leopard Time Machine backup in Lion

    Hi,
    I have seen coverage in MacWorld (http://www.macworld.com/article/161421/2011/07/migrate_time_machine_backup_to_ne w_mac_in_lion.html) of using my Snow Leopard Time Machine backup as the starting point for my Lion TM backup. This saves all my revision history of all my documents and makes them available in Lion. However, when I follow the steps given in the MacWorld article, I don't get the same set of dialog boxes and am never given the option to use a previous disk.
    Any hints to getting this to work would be much appreciated.
    -Eric

  • Is FCX HD compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Just upgraded to a new iMac and I have a need to use FCXHD for a project that iMovie won't handle (syncing multiple video tracks). I haven't been using FCXHD for awhile now I need to install on the new iMac. Is it compatible with snow leopard? I ready to buy the upgrade but wouldn't mind saving $99. Plus, when I originally purchased FCXHD they released FCX4 the following week...sigh. LOL
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Only the current version is supported on Snow Leopard.

  • I have a imac 10.6.8 with snow leopard. Just upgraded to iphoto 11 Now my computer keeps freezing up mostly if my iphone is connected.  It even freezes in safari.  Can i get my money back and unistall

    This forum is for people to discuss issues with other users. Apple aren't here. No one here can give you your money back. So, contact the the App Store support, if that's where you bought it. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store window.

  • Imac not booting, Able to get to disk ulility with snow leopard disk.  Tap on had disk, not given choice to do anything.  Information list that smart is certified and partition map is us formatted.  How do I get mac to start up again?

    Imac not starting up, keep getting white screen.  Using snow leopard.  Able to get to disk utilities with snow leopard installation disk.  Tap on had disk, not given choice to certified disk or anything else.  Information on disk states that smart status is certified.  Partition map I formatted.  Also tried to restore from back up, but get error:  not enough disk space.  Tried to erase disk, but unable.  What do I do next to get mac to start up?

    Thank you. That's what I thought will need to happen.
    One more question. I tried using the Apple install disk that came with the computer. It's an OS 10.5.6 disk. It does not see my 10.6.8 system internal hard drive to repair. All it see's is itself 10.5.6 disk. Do you think I can use a 10.8+ disk utillity since that is a higher system it will see the 10.6.8. Where the 10.5.6 does not?
    I don't want to turn the computer off for fear I'll get the question mark again. P-Ram got me going last time but for how long I don't know?  It would be nice to be able to turn the computer off for the night and startup as usual to give it a rest and try to reset itself.
    Thanks for your help, I know I will eventually need to re-install. But I am in the middle of a project with tight deadlines and all I can do right now is back-up. Trying to migrate to another computer temporarily to finish the job. That's a lot of extra work in the short time also.
    Just trying to put a band-aid on it for another couple weeks.

  • I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac.  I was currently running Snow Leopard.  My problem is with my mouse.  Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. I checked system S.P. - Natural for scroll feature.

    I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac.  I was currently running Snow Leopard.  My problem is with my mouse.  Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. In system preferences I tried checking and unchecking Natural for scroll feature. Movement from side to side works fine.  Has anyone experienced this problem?

    I think this new scrolling behaviour was introduced with Lion. You do get used to it pretty quickly (well I did). Are you sure that deselecting Natural Scrolling in Mouse Prefs doesn't re-instate the previous behaviour, it does here.

  • I have paid and downloaded LION and want to update my IMAC, can i just run install and it keep photos settings etc from Snow Leopard or is a full reinstall with wiped hard drive, anyone have any experience of this and do i need to run a backup beforehand?

    I have paid and downloaded LION and want to update my IMAC, can i just run install and it keep photos settings etc from Snow Leopard or is a full reinstall with wiped hard drive, anyone have any experience of this and do i need to run a backup beforehand?

    Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
    Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
    And run Disk Utility  (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.
    Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

    i have a 2008 imac with snow leopard.  i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users.  Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD.   Anyone else with this problem?  CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update?  Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update!  it just saves gray.

    If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Or you can:
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

  • When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    What kind of CD are you burning (Audio or MP3)?
    If you're burning an MP3 CD, the songs must already
    be in mp3 format.
    If not, iTunes will tell you that you have no songs
    in the playlist.
    M
    I was making an audio cd. But I have since found out what the problem was. The files in my PLAYLIST I converted to aiff, since they were SDll files (I thought they were similar to AIFF, and they PLAY on Itunes...just won't burn.) When I selected the songs in the playlist and converted them...I thought all those files were converted, They were not. The converted files went into my LIBRARY, even tho I selected the ones in the playlist...and once I exchanged the SDll versions of the songs in my playlist. THEN they burned fine...but still...it's confusing..you say convert..it says it's been converted..and what they don't say is it's not been converted inside the playlist...where I had selected the songs...It just ADDED aiff versions..but only in the library...Anyway, that's what happened. But it's strange that it PLAYS SDll but won't burn them....and you'd think, logically..the ones you selected would change...but they don't. Playlists are mainly pointers to the actual files I guess...a sort of Alias..
    At least it works now. But it's sad that the latest itunes does more, but also does LESS...as I used to be able to burn SDll files. Now I'll have to convert all my files to AIFF, and mp3's as I assume my ipod video won't play anything but mp3's?

  • New iMac with OS x Lion.  Printing envelopes w/ Address book makes a second blank envelope. Drivers up to date. Have to mark print only first page. Had no problem with Snow Leopard. How to correct.

    I recently purchased a new iMac with OS x Lion. Previously was using a four year old iMac with snow Leopard. I have three HP printers with up to date drivers for Lion.  When I try to print an envelope from Address Book I have two problems:
    1) I have to change the orientation to vertical to get the proper margins, which I never had to do before and
    2) It prints a second blank envelope unless I tell it to only print the first page.
      Neither of the problems occurred with my previous iMac/w Snow Leopard  and it appears to be a Lion/HP software incompatibility. I have worked with a Apple supervisor (Case # 316225300) for hours and finally reinstalled the operating system to no avail.
    I do I correct both problems???

    Contact HP and ask them to write better drivers for Lion. Find a printer that is more compatible with Lion. I've not printed envelopes with Lion before, though I've had no difficulty with either Epson Artisan 810 or Canon MX700 for regular printing.  Sometimes open source drivers also work better than manufacturer drivers.  See this FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    While many open source drivers won't give you duplex or printer diagnostics, at least they may work better for other features. 
    Lastly, I've often found for a more consistent print, saving as PDF, and then printing from Preview can sometimes be the best work around.  Someone in the Mac OS X Technologies forum might be able to help you write an automator script to do this in one fell swoop, if you find it works better for your needs.

    You may want to hold off upgrading to Lion for a bit and check with the HP site to see if they will update their HP software for Lion compatbility.

  • Tons of problems with Snow Leopard

    Made this post over at my blog but I figure this would be a better forum for it in hopes we can get some of these issues resolved... it seems like Apple has pulled a Microsoft and released what appears to be a beta version of Snow Leopard! Inexcusable bugs are appearing left and right, and the supposed "improvements" have actually hindered my computer performance and productivity...
    This really surprised me. After years of releasing amazing OS upgrades that seemed to make the best OS even better, it seems like Apple has taken 2 steps back with Snow Leopard. I can't tell you how upset I was to realize I was experiencing many problems that I previously only saw on PCs.
    After one of the many bugs popped up again on my computer, I got frustrated and started combing the internets for a list of known bugs in the OS and the inevitable slew of Apple users registering their disgust. Unfortunately, my search didn't turn up anything but positive reviews of the OS and very limited complaints on a few message boards. To this end, I'm posting this entry to try and help other users who are experiencing similar issues and hopefully get Apple to clean up this mess of an OS.
    Below I've created (and will be adding to) a list of problems I've experienced in OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. I encourage everyone to list your Snow Leopard issues in the comments as well, in hopes we can create a master list of problems.
    I am using a 2 GHz Black MacBook (Core 2 Duo) with 2GB of RAM. Keep in mind Leopard (OS 10.5) was running flawlessly on this more than capable machine. I am currently running the latest Snow Leopard build, 10.6.1. I upgraded 10.5 with the retail version of Snow Leopard, integrating my current apps into 10.6 (did not do a clean install). I've organized my issues below by application. This post is less about third-party applications and more about Apple apps/built-in OS features, as Apple is fully accountable for these pieces.
    APPLE APPS
    Airport:
    • Airport is now incredibly slow getting past the "searching" status message and into what was known as "scanning" status in 10.5 (now called "Looking For Networks…" status message). This issue occurs most often when I revive the computer from sleep. I have to turn Airport off and on again, then wait an inordinate amount of time to get past the useless "Searching…" message.
    Volume and Sound:
    • I rely on my volume control icon on the toolbar. I change my system volume dozens of times every day (due to my job)... previously, I could click the volume icon then simply roll the scroll wheel on my two-button mouse to adjust the volume. Now, I have to actually move my mouse down onto the volume slider area before my scroll wheel works! What gives? In allowing the user to fine-tune the volume levels, Apple removed this functionality for some reason? This is a real pain for me as the extra second it takes to do this really adds up by the end of the day.
    • Sound now starts stuttering for no reason? When I wake my computer up from sleep and I have headphones or speaker plugged in, the audio stutters greatly. I have to unplug then re-plug my speakers or headphones to fix the issue! This is a problem I saw on many PCs due to sound cards not playing with Windows nicely, but was NEVER an issue I experienced using OS X.
    • The Mac OS startup chime plays on my MacBook external speaker when I startup, even though I have speakers or headphones plugged in! It also does not matter if I had my system volume on mute when restarting • the OS seems to now decide what volume my system should be at when I start up!
    Safari:
    • Defaults to 64-bit mode silently, and this breaks most plug-ins (my issue was with download manager iGetter, specifically). I had to manually Get Info on the app, then switch back to 32-bit mode, which it seems Apple has not designed Snow Leopard to support properly?
    • Freezes and crashes more often, most often when running Flash video. This occurs when I open multiple videos on YouTube, for example.
    • Hogging memory even more than it used to (1GB of RAM to run the app?? Really?)
    Stacks:
    • Apple seems to have completely removed the functionality or sortable sub-folder listings? For example, if I choose to sort my stack by "Date Modified", the initial list of folders in the stack appear by date, but all my sub-folders appear in Alpha order, and there is no way to change this! Come on Apple, why remove this?
    iPhoto:
    • Freezes completely when I go to "Export…". My Export opens on the Facebook tab of the dialogue box, and it seems the issue occurs when iPhoto can't find the source image. Rather than an error message though, I get the color wheel of death.
    Spotlight/Search:
    • When I search from a Finder window, sometimes I get the new feature of sortable results columns to work, but sometimes I don't. Seems arbitrary when it works and when it doesn't.
    System Preferences:
    • More of an annoyance, System Preferences now has to restart the first time I click on any third-party preference in "Other". Some work, most don't.
    Install:
    • In previous OS X upgrades, Apple gave me the option to "Backup and Install". This option was not present on Snow Leopard, so not sure what a user can d if they do not have a Time Machine backup and their install fails.
    Preview:
    • Preview slows down considerably when opening multiple files.
    THIRD-PARTY APPS
    Entourage:
    • Entourage froze up when I tried to simply delete one of my email accounts. The Accounts window went blank and the application froze.
    CS3:
    • Slower than ever, Photoshop is running at a snail's pace.
    I hope everyone can contribute to this string and get Apple to fix these problems.

    I can address some of these:
    Safari defaults to 64-bit mode silently, and this breaks most plug-ins (my issue was with download manager iGetter, specifically). I had to manually Get Info on the app, then switch back to 32-bit mode, which it seems Apple has not designed Snow Leopard to support properly?
    All applications, to the best of my knowledge, will run in 64-bit if they include 64-bit code. With most you'll never notice, but if an application supports plugins, then you have to pay attention to whether the plug-in is available in a 64-bit version. More and more are becoming available, but not all. If you have plug-ins that aren't, you need to set the app - Safari or whatever - to 32-bit mode. This is not a bug; it's necessitated by the conversion to full-time 64-bit support. The developer of iGetter claims that an update for compatibility with Safari in 64-bit mode is under development but no time frame has been given.
    Snow Leopard is perfectly capable of running 32-bit apps. You just can't mix them, running a 32-bit plugin in a 64-bit app.
    Freezes and crashes more often, most often when running Flash video. This occurs when I open multiple videos on YouTube, for example.
    Have you installed the latest version of Flash? Flash is almost always a bit problematical, but I've had no problems running Flash content on any site with SL.
    Hogging memory even more than it used to (1GB of RAM to run the app?? Really?)
    This may just be an issue of not being clear on how Mac OS X allocates memory. This article may provide some insight:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342
    More of an annoyance, System Preferences now has to restart the first time I click on any third-party preference in "Other". Some work, most don't.
    This is normal if a preference pane has not been provided in a 64-bit version.
    In previous OS X upgrades, Apple gave me the option to "Backup and Install". This option was not present on Snow Leopard
    Actually it was called "archive and install" and was removed as an option as no longer necessary. The normal installation creates all necessary new files and more robustly replaces old ones, so having an archive of the old system folder was deemed to no longer be needed.
    so not sure what a user can d if they do not have a Time Machine backup and their install fails.
    To restore completely from a full Time Machine backup, you erase the disk using Disk Utility from the menu in the Installer, then choose to restore from a TM backup.
    Preview slows down considerably when opening multiple files.
    Seems to work OK for me. I've had as many as twenty open with no noticeable slowdown. But you may be opening much larger documents than I have.
    Entourage froze up when I tried to simply delete one of my email accounts. The Accounts window went blank and the application froze.
    Impossible to offer any advice here without knowing what version of Entourage you're using, whether it's been fully updated, and what type of email account this was.
