ITunes causing cascade system failure.

This is an issue that has been going on for several months, so through several updates of both OS and iTunes. The issue is when items are added to the iTunes library. The adding starts as normal, but then iTunes just freezes and you get the spinning beach-ball. At this moment all other applications running continue without issue in the background - no matter how long it's left. I've left it in this state for up to 8 hours, but the spinning beach-ball doesn't stop.
However, should I switch to any other application, the switch happens without issue, but as soon as I attempt any action within that application (such as quitting, closing a window, etc.) then it too freezes and you get the spinning beach-ball. No matter which application you switch to, you get exactly the same phenomena occurring. It is impossible to force-quit any application because if you select the Apple menu, you get the menu, but when you select "Force Quit", the Finder then freezes and you get spinning beach-ball. If you try Alt-Cmd-Esc, if the active application has frozen then this key input produces nothing. If the active application is running, then the Alt-Cmd-Esc key combination will kill it (ie. freeze and spinning beach-ball).
If you select the any application in the dock, then that application stays highlighted (dark) and then the dock becomes unresponsive. Once several applications have gone this way, if you hover the mouse over the menu items (top-right), one by one they freeze and the mouse becomes a spinning beach-ball (even without switching to them or clicking on them). After a few minutes, the blinking dividers on the clock stop and a few minutes later the mouse stops accepting any input.
Once iTunes has failed, there is nothing to stop everything from following suit. The only way out is to hold the power button in and restart.
As I said, it's been going on for several months (could even be years). Initially it seemed completely random and it wasn't until I turned off automatic podcast updates within iTunes that it stopped happening randomly. But it still happens when I add (usually by drag/drop) more than one item into iTunes.
I seriously doubt anyone out there will have a clue as to what's going on. But if anyone could shed any light, I'd appreciate it. But please - no basics (ie. reinstall, update, reset NVRAM/SMU, repair permissions etc.), I've done all that.
Thanks.

Same problem. Now I cannot use itunes at all. Locks up computer and I have to hold power button to restart.

Editing pictures in Bridge (Raw mode) causes severe system failure Mac OSX 10.9.2

While being busy processing images in Bridge (CS6) Raw Mode, the entire computer locked and the screen went to black. After a restart and reopening, I noticed that all other applications are working properly still. But as soon as I open Bridge and Photoshop in the camera RAW mode, the same system failure returns. Is this a known error? Does anyone know how to solve it?
Perhaps the prefs should be deleted, but I cannot seem to locate them.
System: Mac OSX 10.9.2
Software: Bridge CS6 / Photoshop CS6 / Bridge CC

In the meanwhile I was able to delete the application's preferences. At first it all seemed to work properly - even in RAW mode. But after a minute still the failure popped up:
It looks as if the graphics card cannot deal with the App. It looks all twisted, shaky and mixed up. The left part of the screen is on the right side and vice versa. I managed to quit the application and everything returned back to normal.

Non-Apple browsers cause cascading system hang with clean install of Lion

It started with Google Chrome. After a few hours of use, Chrome would randomly lock up one renderer at a time until it was completely unresponsive. Console showed nothing conclusive in the logs, and would soon lock up itself. Logged-in Terminal windows could sometimes get as far as a "ps auxc", but would lock up during the command output, and new Terminal windows or tabs would never get past login. The SSH daemon would be dead in the water, preventing me from logging in remotely. Any existing SSH connections would hang on the first command. Activity Monitor would lock up the moment I tried to sample a process or interact with anything. Interacting with SystemUIServer (pulling down the menu for the clock or trying to do a Spotlight search) would cause SystemUIServer to hang. Same with the Dock. My mouse was like the Midas of software failure: everything I touched turned to hang. Eventually I'd be staring at a spinning beachball. After a few (five to ten) minutes, it might perform a couple queued events (opening a window, switching to another application) but would usually become wedged again immediately, forcing me to hard restart.
I then tried installing Firefox 5, and discovered that it causes the hang fairly reliably within the first ten seconds. Since I knew when it was about to happen, I managed to capture a few stack traces in Activity Monitor, but it was always different, and always somewhere in the kernel (usually file-system related: __getattrlist while scanning fonts one time, the open system call another).
Safari, on the other hand, works great.
I've tried performing a verification of my startup disk, which returns no errors, so although I'm not ruling out hardware failure at this point the problem started immediately after I upgraded to Lion, and persisted even after I wiped my hard drive completely and performed a clean install from the recovery partition. It also doesn't seem to be completely the fault of either Chrome or Firefox, since they're different browsers with different rendering engines using different system frameworks. They do both perform a lot of file I/O, so maybe that's a clue. Another possible lead is the seemingly random errors Console will spew out while the hang is occuring. Most recently I've gotten a screenful of '--ImageKit Error: updateGLTextureWithBitmapData: glPixelStorei returned an error : 506 ...', and before that it was 'Google Chrome Helper: CGSLookupServerRootPort: Failed to look up the port for "com.apple.windowserver.active" (1100)', "kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero". Console spew being what it is, though, I don't know if any of that is relevant.
I figure I would be seeing quite a lot of angry forum threads if Chrome and Firefox were completely unusable on other people's machines, so I'm guessing there's something specific to my configuration happening here. With a clean install, though, I'm not sure what it could be. Here are detailed system specs:
24" iMac (Early 2008 -- just out of AppleCare coverage, figures) , 2.8 GHz, 2GB RAM, running Lion build 11A511 (which should be the 10.7 release version).
I would be massively indebted to anyone who has experienced or heard about this issue before and can give me something else to try.

Zeroing the disk serves no purpose in this situation. It is a common misconception that this is required to map out bad blocks on the drive, but the fact is that 1) modern hard drives map out bad blocks as part of everyday operation, and 2) zeroing the drive involves simply writing zeros with no checks to see if the zero was written successfully, so it wouldn't know if a block was bad anyway.
It's possible the drive is starting to go bad, although then there should be some problems with SL as well. I would recommend repartitioning the drive with Disk Utility. Make sure it's got one partition, using the GUID partition map scheme, and format that partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Repartitioning should get rid of any gremlins lurking on the disk, unless the physical disk itself is dying. And after repartitioning, install straight from the flash drive, as Shootist recommends, rather than installing SL first.
Hardware could be an issue. It's entirely possible for an older system to work fine on slightly faulty hardware while a newer system does not. Running Apple Hardware Test wouldn't be a bad idea.
Firmware updates wouldn't be a bad idea. However, note that my mid-2010 MBP with the same specs is running Lion just fine, and I've never installed any firmware updates. (Firmware updates scare me... if my machine is running just fine, I'm reluctant to risk installing new firmware. But that's probably just a bit of paranoia talking. )

ITunes causing whole system to freeze?

Hi
There are a lot of questions on this forum which are similar to this, but I have not found one that actually replicates the same problem in the same conditions.
Today I was listening to iTunes and had a bunch of other applications open. For no apparent reason, the whole system froze up on me. By this I mean: the mouse no longer responds, keyboard no longer responds, the colon that flashes the seconds in the clock stops flashing (I have that turned on so that I can see when the machine is really frozen), and all the keyboard-shortcuts like Option-Command-Esc (Forced Quit dialog) or Ctrl-Eject fail to work. Even the Ctrl-Command-Power doesn't work (for forced Restart): instead I have to hold the power button for a few seconds and the computer shuts down, but does not restart. (This is what I mean by the 'whole system freezing'). There is no warning, no beachball spinning, and the G5 does not even seem particularly hot (the fans were not blowing hard). So I am completely at a loss to understand what's going on.
Thinking this was a one-off event, I restarted, ran a "Verify permissions" and "Repair permissions" (was this a mistake?) and ran a few applications (Mail, Safari) all of which worked fine. Then I opened iTunes again. It opened OK. I then closed the window, which worked. Then I quit iTunes. This caused the whole system to freeze again, exactly as before.
I have repeated this cycle a couple of times. iTunes will open, will even start playing a song, but on Quit the whole system freezes.
More recently I found that the system froze with iTunes just playing a song.
What then happened was that I looked for help on this forum, found too many cases of iTunes doing strange things but none with my configuration, and thought (perhaps recklessly) that I should update iTunes (from 6.0.4 to 6.0.5). This seemed to work perfectly. Except when I opened it, and played a song, within seconds the whole freezing thing happened again, exactly as before.
So, apart from giving up on listening to music in the office, what is to be done? I am able to run other applications OK (I'm writing this within Safari), so it seems to be an iTunes related problem. I had no unusual devices connected (in fact nothing except keyboard, mouse, monitor), and no iPod connected.
Does anyone know what to do about this?

Just an update (I'm answering my own post) in case anyone else has this issue:
I managed to get iTunes to stop causing hard crashes. I went through the repair disk procedure outlined here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
Including running Yasu at the end with most of the boxes ticked, to clean caches thoroughly.
And I also trashed all the iTunes preferences files. The first time you run iTunes after this you have to answer some questions (as it resets the prefs) but you can always restore your settings manually afterwards.
So far so good -- iTunes launches, runs, and quits without crashing the system.
I guess this might not have been an issue with iTunes itself. The damage was probably done when the first crash happened and I had to use the power button to shut down. I still don't understand what caused the first crash, though, and Yasu seems to have deleted the panic log so I'll never know.

ITunes causing Windows to restart

I seem to have an issue at the moment with iTunes causing sudden system restarts quite regularly - usually when I am browsing the store. It seems to date back to when they added all the coverflow to each of the categories. It's not related to any recent Itunes update and only iTunes does it; no other program.
Anyone else getting this?

Also could it be my Vbios is somehow corrupted or causing this as it always seems to happen when windows is booting up before I have access to my machine right when it would be accessing the vBios?
Nope

Ok so if anyone ends up having this rediculously confusing problem like I did allow me to say, simply unplug your other monitors from your computer and then run the Nvidia driver software, works every time now. Only 1 monitor can be plugged in at one time while running the driver updates.

Major system failure--crashed and could not reboot

At about 1 am (it's 3 something now) this morning I told my computer to print a simple, one page document. I received an error message, and after a few more tries my MacBook Pro froze, and the CommandOptionEscape combination was having no effect. So, I did what I did not want to do, I held down the power button and forced my computer to shut down. After waiting a few seconds and pushing the button the start-up chime sounded, and the Apple logo appeared on the screen. Everything was fine so far. Before getting to the small circle thing that normally appears below the Apple logo, the screen changed to a black screen with white font, which looked somewhat like DOS. This message was displayed:
/etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory
-Sh-2.05b# CSRHID TransitionDriver::stop
IOBluetoothHCIController::start IdleTimerStopped
I believe that I have all of the spacing correct, but I am not positive. Also, I can no longer tell wether the "-Sh-2.05b" was really "-5h-2.05b".
I tried to enter the few commands that I knew in this form, such as "macboot", but as I suspected it was futile. I attempted to reset the PRAM by forcing it to shut down, and restarting and holding down CommandOption+PR, but that did not make any noticeable changes. I tried again by forcing it off and holding down Option while restarting, and I got the black screen with white font again.
I was able to reinstall Mac OS X version 10.4.5 from the installation DVDs that came with my MacBook Pro. (I am currently running 10.4.5, but I had 10.4.6 in the previous system.) I was able to "archive" the previous OS which I booted from by selecting that option. I can luckily access these files (and have placed the most important safely on my flash drive).
I have not tried to restart or shut down since. Please respond as soon as you can. For now I can live off of this, and by setting up the Mail app and the bare necessities. I have Internet access to by AirPort.
By the way, I have never used Bluetooth devices with this (or any) computer, I have never tried to use Boot Camp to partition my hard drive to run Windows. I did not open my System Folder and tamper with it. I do not know what caused this system failure.
Thank you.
EDIT: I now have all of my email. And I discovered that my apps are in the new Applications folder. Some just need to be reconfigured.

Thanks. It makes sense, since everything froze and when I forced the computer to shut down unsaved files, and some saved ones could be corrupted. I'm glad that Apple had the insight to have the option of reinstalling the OS and archiving all the old system files on the HD. All I had to do was drop the folders, ie. Desktop, Pictures, Movies, Documents, etc, onto my new desktop and drop the files into the corresponding places in my home folder. I did have to reset the minor things, such as configure iChat, Mail and a few others (the most annoying would be that I lost all of my saved passwords, and it took several tries to remember some of them because with Firefox and Safari I save them all). There really is no longer any evidence that I ever had this problem anymore.
And I'm back in control!

Mac OSX 10.6.7 update causes iTunes and entire system to be unresponsive?

Hey all,
I updated to the latest OS X patch today and I've been having problems with iTunes crashing the system ever since.
iTunes would open and the entire system cease to be responsive: the mouse cursor does not respond to movements on the touchpad and the functions keys no longer do anything.
Is this a problem that anyone else is experiencing?

Sam problem here, all use of the latest iTunes freezes my whole computer, this has never happened to me with OS X before.
But I have friends who are not having this problem, so it is not affecting everybody. Could it be some other installed app that causes this?
Is there any simple way to downgrade to 10.6.6?

IDVD encoding causes system failure during burn process

I have iDVD 5 on my work computer (dual 2.7Ghz G5 / 2.5 G RAM), and have burned successfully before my current project.
My current project has a 28:45 movie and I have tried two different themes with different combinations of drop zones (one with the movie as the drop zone and one with stills only) and everything previews okay, but when I start the burn process it will get to a certain point in the encoding and then the whole system crashes. I come back to check on the process, and my screen is filled with black squares with error info in it... (looks like a DOS screen or something) and it says something about system failure and that I need to restart my computer.
I'm so stubborn that I keep trying different combinations of possibilities but I'm having no luck. The movie that it's hangin up on was captured in Final Cut Pro from a VHS, edited in Final Cut to trim the excess black, and exported as a Final Cut Movie that I imported into iDVD.
As I said above, I have burned successfully on this computer and this iDVD, so the fact that this one project refuses to burn is perplexing.
any thoughts?

A gap in video would be a space between one clip and another. This is a problem when you are editing your footage, not capturing it. In other words, it is a user introduced problem.
In FCP when you say "Ignore Timecode Breaks" it just means to continue capturing video even if there is a timecode break. If you do not select this option, FCP would immediately stop catpturing whenever it hit a timecode break. A timecode break is not the same thing as a gap you create during editing. A timecode break could be as simple as rewinding your camera footage and then recording over it... the timecode now has a break because it is not continuous timecode, it jumps from one timecode to another.
Depending on what device you are capturing from, your audio may come in a few frames before or after the video. This would be especially true for a non-controllable device. It is a simple fix to adjust this as you would have noticed any sync issues right in the timeline during playback.
A system reboot in the middle of encoding is a serious crash... I doubt if it is the footage per se that is causing this to happen. Footage has been known to force an application to abort a process (or stay in an infinite loop), but an actual system shutdown would be extremely rare.
Consider recapturing the footage into a new FCP project and then creating a new iDVD project for it, this will eliminate either a corrupted FCP file or an iDVD project from the equation. Also, are you burning directly to disc or are you preparing a disc image? I'd go with the disc image approach because you can test your final build that way.

2005 iMac G5 (PPC) System Failure

Lately I've been having system failures, seemingly-randomly, happening once every couple days. I have to do a hard reset to fix the problem.
I only have 2-3 windows open (iTunes, Safari usually) and am not running a huge amount of processes.
What's the issue here? How do I fix it?
Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Anxiously,
Alex from Kalispell

You do have very minimal RAM. RAM is pretty cheap nowadays, it might be easy to upgrade. If you do that, I'd put in as much as your Mac can handle (2GB, 4 GB or 8 GB even if it can take that much, it makes a huge difference in performance). However I don't think not enough RAM would cause kernel panics. Not enough RAM might lead to very slow performance (due to the fact that when your Mac runs out of RAM it has to move information back and forth on the hard drive, which is relatively slow).
If you have your original Mac OS disks (CDs or DVDs) that came with the Mac, you can boot from those and run the hardware diagnostic test. It tests all the hardware inside your Mac. It might find something that is not working to spec and could be causing the kernel panics. The tests include RAM, by the way, and one cause of kernel panics is bad RAM. There are other utilties you can download off the internet to test your RAM, by the way.
I would also try using your Mac without the printer connected for a few days to see if the problems goes away or repeats. Even a bad USB cable can cause them. While you are at it, check all cables to make sure they are fully seated in their connectors.
Certain software issues can cause kernel panic, but that is not as common as hardware problems. The troubleshooting steps in the link I provided, and some of the additional suggestions here, might help you track this down.

ITunes causing VisualStudio 2005 Debugger to complain

I don't know if this is the right place to post this problem since it's the first time I post on this forum (even if probably I'm going to post more soon since I'm buying a MacBook in a few months :)).
But I'm a .NET developer and I listen to iTunes while programming.
Yesterday I got a weird problem: everytime I tried to insert a char on a textbox in a winform while in debug mode the Debugger Assistant complaining about some strange dll loading in the managed app domain.
I wrote a post with a detailed explanation of the problem, also linking what the debugger team at MS discovered about the problem:
"We noticed that iTunesKeyboardCompatibility.dll is causing the LoaderLock MDA to fire. The most likely reason is that the DLL entry point for this DLL is doing some non-trivial work which causes managed code to run."
http://codeclimber.net.nz/archive/2007/05/09/iTunes-causing-VS-to-throw-LoaderLo ck-exception.aspx
I also think the problem is only related to Vista and not XP, but not really sure.
If someone of the Apple team read this forum, I'll be more than happy to help them solve the bug.
Simo
PS: sorry for the cross post

Here is some additional info about the ICHR8 Intel RAID Chipset and Western Digital SATA Gen 2 Drives in RAID Array.

Custom Intel based Generic PC Windows XP Pro 750GB NAS Storage, DVDRW DL, 5th Gen 80GB iPod, 2nd Gen 8GB Nano (Both Black)
I'm running a dual boot with WinXP Pro SP2 as the primary OS, Vista RC1 on separate partition. I had Vista Ultimate (RC1) Release Candidate 1, a pre-release version of Vista up and running with iTunes version 7.1.1. Updating My Library, when system crashed and trashed my array.
I was running 2 400GB WD's when my RAID 1 erred. The array corrupted and after limping through several array rebuilds and Windows repairs, Win XP finally died and was unrecoverable.
I originally suspected an issue with Vista & iTunes, especially since I was running a pre-release version of Vista then I remembered reading a recent WD Support issue about some newer WD SATA Gen 2 drives failing in RAID arrays.
To make a long story short, thank God for my back-up NAS Drives, I lost my array. Traced the problem to a Raid compatibility issue with the WD drives running in full SATA ATA Gen 2 transfer rate mode and the Intel ICHR8 SATA RAID Controller. They don't play nice together when stressed with large file transfers. Replaced WD's with two Seagate 750's in RAID 1, running full SATA Gen 2 mode and have had no problems since.
Check out WD's Support forums, if you have newer WD's I'll bet it's a SATA RAID / Drive issue more than iTunes and Vista.

Latency leads to full system Failure in Exchange 2010 - Resolved in 2013?

My work encountered a bug - and for no lack of trying - I could not find any bug submission for Ex2010 anymore. Since Most programming relies on the foundation of the past - if replication service was implemented the same in 2013 than it could leave
to a full system failure.
The issue is something happened in REPLICATION service in such a fashion that it accepted a connection, and in the programming it set a variable to a LARGE NUMBER (fail closed) to replace for "Copy Queue
length" in the ball park of 922 quadrillion.
The service never updates this value because of its quasi-state and some timeout occurs and now the GOOD servers think their copy is ludicrously behind. This causes the GOOD servers to attempt to fail-over - as they believe their copy from the BAD
server has failed or perhaps another check fails...
[6 DAG pieces on 3 servers, 4 pieces per server]
In my scenario Server 3 holds:
1 part of server 2 <= Tells server 2 you're bad - don't fail over
1 part of server 1. <= Tells server 1 you're bad - don't fail over
2 parts its own <= "good" - though dead replication service
As I do not know if this exploitable by simply placing a listener in place of replication service to accept and do not respond to connections - I do not know. However, there is a "bug" or flaw in my opinion to allow 1 bad server to superceed
two good servers based on a partial service crash. Simply stopping replication service on Server 3 allowed Server 1 / 2 to take over with out issue - I then restarted replication service and no issue since.
Since i wasted an hour looking where to submit this - this forum will hopefully do - I am very much a white hat - but I am dislike the non-simple way before me to disclose said information to the creator. I want my hour back for their non-intuitive
process, or maybe the simply don't care about Exchange 2010.
- Dan

Please note "LATENCY" in my topic is not network but inter-process on a single host, and is used as saying a timeout occurs without value.

White Screen - total system failure

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz, serial # begins with W8614. I set up the AirPort wireless base and at first I could only get an internet connection right next to the base - I lost it if I moved farther away. I tried again later from the next room and this time the internet connection seemed to work. I was browsing the web and suddenly the entire screen went white for a few seconds, then nothing. The screen went dark and the computer died.
I unplugged it from the power source and plugged it in again, closed and opened it, tried every button, couldn't get anything to happen, the screen was totally dark. The computer was still on, though, because it was hot and the little white light at the latch on the front was on. I assumed the battery was still running, so I waited overnight for it to run out.
The next morning it was cold and the latch light was off. I plugged it back into the power adapter and tried to turn it on. For a second I heard a flicker of noise and then nothing again.
I called Apple tech support and they asked me to try a few things like resetting the power manager but nothing worked, it was still dead. So they arranged for me to send it in for repair. My question is: what could cause this kind of total system failure? It died completely in the first few minutes I was using it! Apple's always crowing about how reliable its computers are compared to the competition, but this performance is ghastly. It does not inspire confidence, to say the least. Can this kind of problem be repaired? Should I have any faith in the machine once it's returned to me? Yipes.

I bought it from Amazon, not Apple. Amazon allows you to return opened computers within 30 days, but they charge a 15% fee. I was hoping when I called Apple tech support that they'd just offer to replace it right away, but I guess if you buy the computer somewhere else their policy is to try repair first.
Certainly if Apple can't repair it, they'll send me another one. It's just that I never heard of a computer totally dying like that right after purchase - I wasn't aware how often that occurs. I'm just worried it might be buggy and crash frequently after I get it back - in other words, it might be a lemon. Hopefully I won't have to have it repaired over and over. Plus, of course I'm annoyed that I just acquired my shiny new expensive machine and now I have to wait two weeks before I can begin to use it.
Thanks for replying. Do you have an idea what causes this type of white screen demise? Any reassurance would be helpful.

ITunes causing cascade system failure.
