Installation finishes but freezes when it begins to load.

Hi,
I've got and eMac with a new hard drive that I installed Panther on. It finished the installation but as soon as it starts to load regularly it freezes at the point where I can see the menu bar across the top of the screen, and that's it. I can boot into safe mode just fine. Also, another thing I noticed is that when it freezes there are black horizontal lines across the screen, some of them are shot, some long. When I'm in safe mode those lines aren't there. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem may be?

What model eMac is it? The procesor speed should suffice for identification.
What operating system came on the computer?
If Panther was an upgrade from the original OS version, did you use a full retail install disk set or the gray system disks that came with another model Mac? The gray disks can cause problems unless they are the ones that came with the computer or one of exactly the same model.

  • CS3 installs, but freezes when I attempt to load it (no splash screen... just loads forever)

    I have been able to successfully INSTALL Adobe Photoshop CS3: Extended multiple times, however I have yet to actually successfully RUN the application. After installation, when I try to open the program, a window appears with "Adobe Photoshop CS3" at the top and it is simply a large grey box with nothing inside of it. My mouse cursor turns into an hourglass and that's it... I left it there for an hour and a half once just to see what it would do and it simply continued in an endless loop of nothingness.
    I have a custom-built computer with an AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition, 2x2GB of OCZ 1066mhz Reaper DDR2, a Gigabyte motherboard with the GX790 chipset (SB750 southbridge), and a 2x1 Terabyte RAID 1 array.
    It's running in a brand spanking new Windows XP Professional installation with Service Pack 3.
    I have tried the following:
    1) Uninstalling and reinstalling (same result)
    2) Uninstalling all Adobe programs, Running Adobe Clean Script at level 4, running Windows Install Cleanup to remove any remaining Adobe remnants, and reinstalled. (same result)
    3) Doing everything in step 2 again, then copying the CD to my hard drive, and installing from my hard drive. (same result)
    4) Doing everything in step 2 again, then making a new administrative user account and reinstalling (same result...)
    The adobe tech support guys I encountered came up with some pretty crazy (and flat stupid) explanations for my problems.
    One guy claimed that my Serial was for CS1 and that somehow I'd gotten a CS1 disk that just happened to come in a CS3 box, with a CS3 disk label, which just happens to say "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended" after you install it... Yeah... Right.
    Another said I should reformat... Yeah right. I JUST installed XP Professional. Terrible advice.
    Another said that he had tried everything and that it simply wouldn't run on my computer... and that was that (as if I should be satisfied that a program I just spent many $100s on simply refuses to work and there is nothing I can do about it).
    Yet another guy (after I finally got shipped off to Indian technical support...) said that he'd seen this problem many times before and that it's linked to an instruction code error related to AMD Phenom processors and that there should be a patch out soon for it. However, I looked up threads where people with Phenom 9850 CPUs (My CPU!) claim to be running the software flawlessly.
    Can anyone give me any hope here? I'm about to call Adobe again and attempt to get some kind of intelligent answer to my problem, but in the mean time I was hoping against hope that someone else out there has had this problem and managed to solve it.
    Thank you for your help

    Hi Everyone,
    Problem Solved Yeah!!!
    ~~~~ Problem: Adobe CS3 Master Collection Installs, but the applications don't run, but are running in a process, or displays and hangs and does not allow for Activation. ~~~~
    This has been an issue for me with my dual Quad Core Xeon system for over a year. I believe that it has to do with RAID configurations and an improper pointer to the operating system for activation. I am using Vista 32 with SP1. The majority of Adobe support took me through literally weeks of pain. Unfortunately, I did not talk to Sarah!!!!
    The above works and is posted again below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    1) Go to administrative tools within the control panel and go to Services. Within Services find FLEXnet Licensing Service and start it, if it is not already started.
    2) Go here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528
    Install the patch (I know it says it's for Reader and for Vista only but this is false. It works for many apps within the Adobe suite and is compatible with XP). If you press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the Processes tab you should see that FNPLicensingService.exe is now running.
    3) Start up any application other than Adobe Acrobat. You should be prompted with an activation screen. Enter your serial and activate the package online. CS3 should now be functinal.
    THANK YOU AGAIN "SARAH AT ADOBE" FOR ACTUALLY CARING AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE THAT GAVE YOU THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY HELP. I WISH I COULD THANK YOU PERSONALLY. I HAVE SPENT LITERALLY OVER 90 HOURS WITH OVER 15 CALLS TO ADOBE WITH NO RESULTS.

  • TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

    my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
    "Cannot Open Page"
    "Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
    I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

  • Why is my iPad Mini freezing when I try to load data?

    My iPad Mini is freezing when I attempt to use any data at all, including, but not limited to:
    -Notes
    -Contacts
    -Safari (History, Back Button)
    -Apps (Shows loading screen with no progress, turning off and on shows a freezed screen of the completed game)
    Not sure what to do, I use my iPad for a lot and have lots of valuable data on there, and I don't want to buy another. Any suggestions?

    If the Reset does not Resolve your Issue...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the Device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • My i pod "freezes" when i try to load

    I have a 120gb i pod. When i try to load music it freezes at between 3-5gb. I have 2 other i pods in the house which i dont have any problems with. I returned this i pod to the store where it was purchased and they ran a diagnostic check and say they cannot find any problem. Can anyone help ?

    Can someone help us with this? I have the same problem. I can usually upload one or two gigabytes just fine onto a restored ipod, but if I try to add more, either at the same time or at a later time, the transfer freezes, at around 2 to 5 gigabytes. Once it freezes, I can't even see the music I previously uploaded onto my ipod, it just says "no music." I can't transfer more music or play any songs on the ipod (since it doesnt detect any files) until I restore.
    So far, after many transfer attempts with iTunes and the 3rd party program mediamonkey (which also used to work just fine with the ipod), I haven;t been able to get around the problem even once. Right now I'm stuck carefully uploading my music so I don;t hit the transfer limit and have to start all over again. Does anyone know of this problem and how to fix it?

  • ITunes runs okay after fresh install, but freezes when I go to the store, or automatic download begins

    I posted the other evening about installing iTunes and then using a Library on a drive other than 'C.' I got this to work, used the old library file, iTunes creates a new one, freezes for a bit, and everything in those folders displays fine. Once iTunes starts to download two recent purchases, the program freezes. The downloads come in fine, but it takes hours before it shuts down by itself after clicking the exit button. Tonight I start it again. Everything is fine until I try to enter the store. The program freezes. Also, purchases in the cloud do not display, which may be due to the old library. I've never had any issues with iTunes in the many years I've been using it. Do I need to simply reinstall, create a NEW library on the separate drive, and then migrate existing material to the newly-created library? How do I get my purchases in the cloud (TV, Film, since all of my music is on the drive) to display so I can download them at will? I'm completely at a loss. ITunes used to be a lot easier to manage. I used to have libraries split between drives with no problem. I realize I've listed several broad problems here, so if I need to work through them one at a time, please tell me where to begin, or which specific info is needed to help you wiser folks help get my iTunes running once more.
    Thanks in advance!

    So I just learned that Apple now charges you for support to use their software if you're not a MAC user, but they still want me to purchase from their store, which I cannot use because the software is bugging out. Sense when did Apple become Microsoft? This is partly the reason I stopped buying pre-fab PCs, and just use their OS because I have to have it for work. I'd switch to Linux in a second if I could use my work-related software and had a player that could play iTunes proprietary content, since I've spent an obscene amount of income with them since 2005. I was hoping someone would stop by and give a hint of a solution, but I guess I'll figure it out on my own like I have to do when software designed for MS goes buggy. Maybe I'll rate this as solving my own problem and collect the 10 points. lol  Thanks to everyone to stopped by and read the problem.

  • Bridge CC asks to Purge Cache but freezes when I try to do so

    Am using Bridge on a MAC. Each time I open Bridge an error message comes up requesting to Purge Cache via preferences - But when I try to do this, it freezes.
    In fact, even before trying to purge cache, if I try navigating to another folder on Bridge it also freezes.
    Have trashed Bridge, downloaded it again and reinstalled - problem continues.
    What should I do?

    Yes that worked - THANKS.
    I created a new cache folder and deleted the other - and now it works!
    I had to show hidden files via terminal to delete the previous cache folder.

  • ITunes loads, but freezes when it checks for podcast subscriptions

    For the last week, I have been getting lock ups on iTunes and Firefox. It seems it started just before I updated to OS 10.4.10, but it may have happened when I installed the update. Essentially, iTunes is unuseable. I can use iTunes for a couple of minutes as long as I am NOT online. As soon as I go online, the application freezes within 30 seconds. I have repaired permissions. I downloaded 7.2 again last night and the new 7.3 this morning but still the same lock ups.
    Any help?

    Me too. Well I haven't used firefox but iTunes freezes within seconds of trying to download podcasts.This is only on my eMac. I tried all sorts of things but the one that works is quite tedious. first back up everything and then delete everything and i mean everything. Launch iTunes go into preferences/ podcasts/check for new episodes and click on 'manually' that will give you time to back up without iTunes freezing. Then download "AppZapper"- http://www.appzapper.com/ or AppDelete - http://reggie.ashworth.googlepages.com/appdelete then delete everything, download iTunes and re-install. then reload everything. A real pain I know but it worked for me. Good Luck.

  • Running snow leopard and cs3 works great but freezes when trying to save the photo.

    I am running CS3 on snow leopard, I can edit photos great but when all is said and done...... the wheel spins continuously after selecting either save.... or save as..... and the application quits responding. it keeps spinning?
    I am at a loss. Can't afford the upgrade right now. what can i do?

    Could be an issue with file dialogs or volume identifiers. That stuff has changed a lot in recent versions of OSX due to its kernel going 64bit native. You might need to limit yourself to specific volume names and only use the classic file dialog view. Similalrly, this could relate to Library folders being invisible by default on 10.7 and the program trying to access what it assumes to be the default Documents folder...
