Indy freezes on Mac OSX 10.6.3

Any know issues so far with InDesign CS4 running on latest Mac OSX 10.6.3?
A user had informed me that he just upgraded from Leopard 10.5.x to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 today, all other Adobe applications running well, except InDesign.
InDesign launches alright, and even able to create a new document, but once the user clicks on any icon within the document, the Mac beach ball spins forever, user have no options but to force-quit InDesign!
Apparently resetting preferences didn't fix the problem.

This is a good point Bob, If no issues were reported so far on any conflicts between 10.6.3 and InDesign CS4, then it is most likely this particular user need to have a fresh and clean Snow Leopard installation… Thanks
Eugene, user says he updated to latest Indesign version.

Mouse/program freezes in Mac OSX Mavericks

I recently updated my 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac to Mac OSX Mavericks (8GB RAM).
I'm using an Apple wireless bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
I'm now getting frequent freezes. The cursor can be moved but I am unable to write or click on any window. Only way to resolve this issue is a hard reboot.
Additionally, programs (Safari, Microsoft Office) sometimes freeze/stall with the spinning beach ball.
Overall the system is much more sluggish.
Any suggestions ?
I'm wondering if these problems are related to syncing services, e.g., Adobe Updater (really annoying when it interrupts/blocks workflow daily with another update check) or iCloud and Dropbox (check mark indicates up to date) - although superficially I don't see them active at the time of the freeze.

Hi farpelix,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac is unresponsive and you think it may be related to software you've installed, try testing by booting into safe mode and creating a test user:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
If your system is responsive is responsive safe mode, this usually means OS X is fine, and the issue is caused by conflicting software in your user account.
Next, see if it behaves normally in a new user account. The steps in this article also apply to creating a new user in Mavericks:
OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account

Emac freezes on mac osx screen after upgrade

I recently bought the new keyboard and downloaded the upgrade through the apple website. My System update started at the same time and it upgraded the most recent iphoto and osx powerpc update. Im running tiger on my emac and it was fine till I re-started. When it starts back up, the screen goes to the screen with the grey apple and then proceeds to the screen where the chrome mac osx is about to start up but it just sits there. I tried booting up with safe mode but it doesn't do anything and I tried starting it up doing the shift/command/option/delete and that doesn't do anything as well.
Did any of the updates cause this problem and if so, how do I get into my computer to fix this if it won't let me in with all the reboot options. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
M

Same boat as miQ: This eMac (1.42GHz, 512MB RAM) hangs at blue screen after Apple logo/gear and before startup progress bar. Tried reformat/zero then install Panther, but machine will not boot from Panther install disk (produces broken Apple logo and hangs). Erase/reformat and install Tiger = OK, but machine only boots in SafeMode (normal boot = blue screen). Started with 10.4.0 and updated to 10.4.11 by restarting in SafeMode with updates, no change. Disk Utility = all good (in SafeMode).
Lost audio somewhere along the way, too: No startup tone, Sound Prefs say no output device detected, mute is checked and unavailable, sound menu vanishes from menubar when clicked. (Speakers are built-in and connected, just as they were when we started.)
Boots in SafeMode, works as expected, but normal startup hangs at blue screen, 100% of the time. While 512MB RAM isn't much these days (2x256 verified), it should be enough for a fresh install and OS only, no? Firmware issue? (Won't boot from Panther or OS9.) Boots into Startup Manager (w/option key) and shows internal HDD: Then, Apple logo, gear, and blue screen, as usual. Goes to sleep eventually, then refuses to wake. Logic board? Sure acts like a software issue.....
Any suggestions/ideas/clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What do I need to do to stop constant Firefox freezes on Mac OSX? Safari doesn't have the same problem, so it can't be the computer.

My IMac, using OS X 10.6.6, works well and quickly - until I use Firefox. Almost every command I give leads to a freeze that lasts from a few seconds to a couple of minutes - sometimes with and sometimes without the whirling beachball. This is true no matter what website I'm on. I've used Firefox for years and never had this problem before. What can I do to fix this problem?

I have an Idea for you.. Stop using MAC! I'm a PC user and I've never had any problem with firefox or any other program being "incompatible." Can you guess why? Because people design programs like firefox and pretty much everything else around WINDOWS.

Adobe Photoshop 9 Freezes in Mac OSX

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 that constantly freezes on my iMac OSX 10.7.2 platform. It happens while performing different tasks, ie. downloading pictures, e-mailing pictures, editing pictures. In fact the program freezes and then has to be forced quit. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

Okay, the first thing I would do is shut down the autoanalyzer. Go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and turn off everything but face recognition.
To repair permissions go to Applications>utilities>disk utility and click the name of your hard drive in the list on the left, then click repair permissions. It takes a while and don't freak about all the messages scrolling by in the window while it's working. They don't matter at all unless it tells you it's unable to complete the entire permissions repair.

When I installed version 3.1.0.700 and model migration I have problem with stability of program
With any action, java freeze after a few minutes of using application (no response, 100% core CPU, memory allocation stable).

Do you anybody have same problem ? Any solution ?

Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button

Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button. It only causes this after I have opened Firefox, my computer runs fine before opening Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and cleared my personal settings. I have installed future updates (16 and 17) and have run into the same issue. I cannot pull any information on RAM or CPU usage because when it happens it makes my computer unusable. Unfortunately I need to use FF for work and can't. I have tried the different responses on the forums to reduce the amount of RAM and CPU usage with no change in performance.

MacBook pro late 2011 i7 8GB 750GB MAC OSX Lion freezes on wake up

Hi,
My MacBook pro late 2011 i7 8GB 750GB MAC OSX Lion (up to date) 1 week old freezes on wake up.
Plugged on power or not, same issues.
No apps running.
When it goes to sleep itself i wake it up it freezes for few seconds
When i put it to sleep mode same issue.
With the lid same issue...
I already try setting up the sleep mode from 3 to 0 with terminal command it didn't work.
Can it be an hardware issue ?
Any ideas ?

Dear TheSmokeMonster, Dear all MacBook pro 13'' late 2011 users,
Here is the update.
As TheSmokeMonster mentionned (above) they asked me to reinstall MAC OSX Lion by shutting down the computer and holding cmd + R while switching it off. Then you choose the language and you are good to go for a looooonngg 4GB download (it took me 8hours yeah chinese ADSL :-/ )
Lion reinstalled itself automatically and restarted. - it did not solve the issue.
I called Apple Care again and we try to run the hardware diagnostic by restarting the computer and holding D. FYI do not try it as this command does not work on the new version of macbook pro.
Here is the intersting part! As the Apple Care already did everything they could to help me. We booked an appointment the my local Apple Store in Shanghai (a real one )
The Genius remake again the SMC and PRAM reset - same issues and he also tried to boot Lion from his own external hard drive - Same issues. So we started to think that it was a Hardware problem.
We tried another MBP 13'' late 2011 (last hardware update) in the shop to see if it works properly and it DOESN'T!
Yeah you heard me. I have been trying more than 10 MBP 13'' (2.4Ghz 4GB and 2.8Ghz 4GB) put them asleep and they all freeze on wake up!! it also does it on Mac book air 13'' it seems to be a global issue on all the new 13'' machines. A compatibility problem between Lion and the new hardware architecture of the 13'' ? just my guess.
Anyway FYI this issue doesn't occur on MBP 15 and 17"
I was just amazed by this global problem so was the genuis. We could not find any solutions cause even a replacement one will have the same problem. They told me i could change for a 15" but i had to go back to the Apple shop where i bought it which is 2000Kms away not really convenient So i file the cas and i took my MBP 13'' back with me.
They will contact me later for further explanation.
To be continued.

Mac OSX 10.5.8 Freezed - a way to do it

Hi. This is not really a call for help, I only want to share this with you.
Sometimes I use my cell phone to an emergency connection to Internet - when the official way is down. I call for it at preferences panel by bluetooth, and MacMini call my cell phone. A window opens in my Sony Ericsson w300i asking for my permission. If I click OK, thats fine, but if I (by mistake) click NO, appears the multicolor circle, rounding, and rounding... and nothing elese works (yes, not even commandaltesc).
This happens every time I click no. I can't remembar other situation like this, freezing is a rare event in Mac OSX, and I never know when it will be (most of times with Flash, but do not crash all system).
Somebody may try this in other Mac to verify if is my hardware/software or some bug of 10.5...

Funny, nobody found this, at list interesting...

Since the upgrade to 4.0.1, both of my mac osx computers get multiple popups, despite being enable, and slow tracking and frequent freezing

Since the upgrade to 4.0.1, both of my mac osx computers get multiple popups and popunders, despite the block popups being enabled, as well as slow tracking(at regular card game sites, and frequent freezing of open windows.

Honestly I would never run both Win 7 & XP at the same time in a VM. 7 needs at least 4GB to run properly and uses more resources then XP.
I personally use VMware Fusion and XP. At this time there is no software, that I'm aware of or use, that does not run on XP. So for my Mac Win VM purpose I only run XP with the software in need to use in Windows. This work very well for me. I have 2 CPUs and 3GBs of RAM assigned to XP. Leaving the other 2 CPU cores, 4 HT cores, and 5GBs of RAM for OS X.
Not sure why you need, or want, to run both versions of Windows at the same time. I don't see the need as stated above.

This is sometimes caused by Bad Blocks on the Hard Drive.
If 10.7, hold down Command-R at startup, and choose Disk Utility.
If 10.6 or earlier, boot to the Installer/Utilities DVD, answer only the "what language" question and wait for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu.
Select your Hard drive by Make & Model and check the SMART Status (lower right of the right window). Choose "Repair Disk" . This ONLY examines and repairs the Directory area of the drive, but may improve things a bit. If errors cannot be repaired, you may need a stronger tool, or a new drive.

10.1.3.2.0 Mac OSX Freezes building class list

When I launch JDev 10.1.3.2.0 on Mac OSX, the status bar on the bottom of the app says "Building class list for project "ProjectName.jpr" and the animated status bar keeps cycling.
My CPU is at 100% and the java process is taking most of it.
If I remove the project from the application and restart JDev, everything is fine. The moment I add the project back into the application tho, it is stuck again.
This happened when I went to the application properties, and added two more JAR files to the application.
I have since removed these JAR files from the application, and removed them from the disk where they were... Still does not resolve the problem.
I have searched the forums, and can see that there was a problem with the preferences in the IDE, and deleting the preferences file fixed the issue - that's not the case for me. I tried to delete the file and restart, but I get the same results.
Short of reinstalling JDev, I'm not sure what to do...
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

It seems it was my error. After a few hours of debugging, I discovered that I had accidentally added "/" to the JAR Directory path - JDev was trying to search my entire hard drive for JAR files to add. I removed this entry, and all worked again...
Should the "Add Directory" function not limit itself to the selected directory instead of all sub-directories listed?
Thanks
