Leopard Freezing/Crashing

Hi,
I recently bought an iMac and installed Leopard. The computer continually freezes, randomly I think, ill try to see if there is a pattern soon. I run standard prgrams: safari, itunes, adium, and thats pretty much it, nothing heavy.
To be a bit more specific, the mouse tracker still works, but the whole screen is unresponsive.
Now, I have recently installed the upgrade for the graphics card, I will find out if that helps in due course.. so although this could be fixed, I still have one other problem and I dont know if the two are related:
When i put my computer to sleep, or it voluntarily goes to sleep, sometimes it doesn't wake up. I press keys on the keyboard, move and click the mouse, and press the power button on the back of the screen. To add to the problem, i can't even hold the power button it to force a shut down, I need to take the power cable out from the Mac and put it back in.
Anyone got any ideas? I have apple care, do they deal with this? Haven't had time to see what I am entitled to... I'll go read now actually
If anyone has any solutions or has had this problem, please post so I know whether I have go unlucky or not !
Thanks!

yes i'm having the same issues with my macbook pro.... i haven't tried with my imac yet as i have yet to put lepoard on it..
I nearly had the data wiped off my external hard drive because the computer froze
i couldn't do anything with finder firefox was still working fine though???? why i don't know so i restarted the macbook and it wouldn't see my usb drive so i powered the drive off and back on again and a message came up saying somthing like disk inserted not formatted properly (with 3yrs of music work on it)so i tried again..
no joy so i unboxed my imac and pluged the drive in and it worked straight away...
mind you this is still running 10.4.10 or 11....
that was last night just had exactly the same thing happen ...
but this time i had already backed up my music on a second external drive and on dvd....
why are we having these issues is this just with people using an leopard update disc or is it everybody..
if this happens again I'm going back to tiger

  • InDesign under Leopard freezes/crashes due to save-/open-operation

    Since I updated my Mac/OS to Leopard, *InDesign (CS2) often freezes* when I have it perform any kind of open- or save-operation, i.e. whenever the app has to use the OS' save-open-dialogue.
    This includes exporting-to-pdf-operations.
    I have no clue whether this might reflect any special circumstances like using other apps simultaneously or having performed any stuff before. It just happens out of the blue, and very often.
    Restarting the Mac does not solve the problem.
    And then, after restarting InDesign several times, it works fine for the rest of the day.
    And bang, the next day it's freezing again.

    Hi Steve,
    thanks for the hint and the link.
    After reading what they say about Leopard Compatibility I presume folks at Adobe are heaving some kind of festivities going on because lots of people will have to upgrade their apps to CS3 level and offer them quite some cash for that matter.
    VERY REGRETTABLE. I can't quite believe such basic operations like saving a document are undermined by a new OS. Dear Apple Inc., that's just not fine. And I do believe Adobe upgrades are unnecessarily expensive. Some fix for CS2 level apps wouldn't be asked to much from Adobe, IMHO.
    Well, thanks anyway.

  • Freezing/crash of iMac under Snow Leopard when backup with Time Machine

    Hi!
    The backup on my external hard drive with Time Machine cannot be completed.
    After few ten Go out of 360Go the backup stops suddenly and the computer freezes/crashes.
    I have got an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 − 64 bit. The external hard drive is a LaCie 500Go.
    Also, backups for another Apple computer can be done with this LaCie external drive. So, it is not the cause of the freezing/crash of the iMac.
    I tried to solve this problem applying the following steps:
    1- I started with the installation disk.
    2- I repaired the internal iMac drive and the permissions with the Disk Utilities soft on the installation disk. All was OK.
    3- The LaCie drive was erased, formatted again with one GUID partition (500Go) and the disk verified. All was OK.
    4- I re-install the OS with the installation disk -> 10.6 Snow Leopard
    5- Updates to 10.6.8, etc… security update 2012-004 and the 13th Java update to v1.6.
    6- I deleted in the folder /Library/Preferences the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    7- I deleted the file com.apple.finder.plist in the administrator account Preferences folder.
    8- The iMac was shutdowned as well as the external LaCie drive.
    9- I restarted and changed the name of the external LaCie drive.
    10- I choose the LaCie backup drive with Preferences System > Time Machine with right exclusions.
    Unfortunately, the problem remained and the backup was again unsuccessful followed by another freezing/crash of the iMac.
    So how to solve this problem?
    Here is what I obtained from the system.log with the Console utility (crash/freezing at: 10:48):

  • IMac Freezing/crashing, please help. Tried everything! :(

    Hello Fellow MacTalkers,
    I am writing this post to ask you for a help with an issue that is very frustrating to resolve.
    To begin with, I have purchased my MacBook Pro 2.4 GHZ, 3GB, Leopard running notebook about 7 months ago.
    Until recently I have discovered that my computer is crashing randomly.
    I am not a very tech oriented person, who knows much about console, logs and sorting out the hardware / software related issues.
    About 2 months ago I started to experience some random freezes on my computer. Those freezes were occurring on different type of situations so it was hard for me to identify what could be causing the problem. The most common freezing that I have encountered, was and is that my computer screen just freezes and I can't perform any reset or rescue. Simply hard reset.
    I started to think that this could be a cause of getting an extra 1GB memory that I purchased from Apple store, and that the memory could be faulty. But just to make sure I have done a clean re-instal of my os. making sure that I have all my permissions everything that could be a "common" cause of any weird behaviors on a mac sorted.
    After the reinstall it got even worse.
    I decided to take my computer to Apple authorized centre in Sydney broadway NextByte shop.
    I explained the problem, asked if that would be possible to check some sort of console logs and track back what could be the cause of the problem that I am experiencing.
    I left my computer for 2 weeks in service. And after that 2 weeks they have replied to me saying that they have detected no faulty with the hardware what so ever. I keep on persisting that I understand that the service people have done all the tests on external peripherals, checked the system performance through some kind of testing tools and it resulted with no problem. I rang the Apple complaints department asking if they could do anything about it as I am very worried that this issue won't disappear. They have informed me that there is nothing thay can do and they are basically sending my back home.
    I collected my computer 2 days ago and started setting up some programs like adobe and all my apps. At first it was running all well, but then it started (leopard or hardware) to freeze again. On no particular occasion. I had to crashes in 3 hours.
    I remembered the time of the crash and after the reboot, I checked my console and here is what I could find:
    12/05/08 11:00:07 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10b260.mdworker[1036]) Exited abnormally: Segmentation fault
    I don't know if that is related to this post in any way, but as I said at the beginning I have no technical knowledge on where to investigate it further.
    I would like to ask you for your recommendation on what should I do next.
    I hope there is nothing that I am doing wrong with my computer as I am keeping it organized nad well maintained.
    I thought also that that could be overheating related issue so I bought a notebook cooler, but that doesn't seemed to resolve the problem.
    I am running out of ideas. Apple won't help me in solving the problem, I am also not sure how should I approach this case from the legal perspective. Can I go to fair traiding institution and ask them for help to enforce apple on returning my money for laptop, should I perform any tasks on my computer to fix the problem with some software.
    Help, I am really running out of ideas. I am doing graphic design daily and this problem is driving me crazy.
    I would appreciate your feedback or any suggestions on what should I do next.
    Sorry for my cracked english. Im still learning my lingo in Australia
    PLEASE PLEASE, help me on this one.
    Kind Regards,
    Michael Saganowski

    For what its worth, it sounds like the Leopard woes I was having before I left and went back to Tiger. I was in leopard for three months and I had too many problems to list here, but some common ones were Random system freezes/crashes (especially in itunes coverflow), Finder freezing, Adobe CS3 crashing and being generally buggy, not being able to run Final Cut Pro and After Effects at the same time.
    My advice to you, check your memory if you feel like it could be the problem. If your memory is OK, then wait for the 10.5.3 update which is supposed to be out really soon (like within a couple of weeks or so from what I hear.)

  • System freezes/crashes

    I've only had my new iMac for a couple of weeks but I have already experencied numerous kernal panics (which I think has been corrected by removing 3rd party memory) but also at least 6 system freezes/crashes.  There is no regularity to the problem.  I will simply go to use the machine any everything will be locked. The mouse will not more nor do the keys on the keyboard work.  My only option has been a hard restart.  I've spoken to tech support and gone to the apple store and am getting different answers to the possible problem.  Any ideas as to what might cause the system freeze?  I have since removed all usb devices (had an external hard drive and ipad connected) to see if this corrects the problem.  The Apple store told me the next option woudl be a complete software reinstall which I would prefer to avoid as I do not have access to install programs for a purchased version of office.

    If you have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed, try installing the 10.6.8 combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 . Sometimes the operating system can develop some kinks, especially if Software Update has been used. Repair permissions first, apply the update, then repair permissions again. Then run Software Update to sweep up any other needed updates.  A combo update includes all prior updates for that version of the operating system.
    If you have Lion, there isn't a combo update for it yet, as there is only one release at 10.7.1.  You can manually reapply that release from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1437

  • New iMac keeps freezing / crashing

    My new iMac, which was absolutely fine for several months after I bought it last Autumn, is getting to the point of being almost unusable.
    It freezes / crashes (annoying spinning beachball) doing the most simple of tasks (e.g saving files, in Entourage trying to view emails, in Firefox whilst browsing etc) and it won't even force quit. Most of the time I have to switch the machine off at the back and reboot.
    I have downloaded all updates including the most recent April firmware update which I had hoped would improve stability. It was an big improvement for about a day or two before it went back to the same problems.
    The model in question is a new style 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 2 GB memory and 500GB Hard drive, running OS Leopard 10.5.2.
    I have a Belkin powered USB hub attached which runs an M-Audio Oxygen 8 Midi keyboard and an M-Audio Trigger Finger. I have a Novation Nio 2/4 Audio interface connected to the iMac directly via USB. I also have a Novation Nova connected to the audio interface and a DJ Mixer as well.
    Can anyone help?
    cheers

    The symptoms you describe are consistent with a failing hard drive. If you bought it a few months ago it's still under warranty, so you should contact AppleCare or take it to your nearest Apple Store for repair.

  • Freeze,crash,drop connection, desk folder or icon freeze, slow.

    Bad news all the people have imac with snow leopard or lion have so many problems freeze, wifi drop connection, any icon on the background dont work but the computer if you open safari or any software work only the folder icons on the desk is freeze, crash with some videos on youtube or download some file from internet, i use new imac 21.5 this is my second mac on september i have another one the same model but after 3 months i changed but right now i have the same issues and worse, sorry but mac right now have problems, i do so many test loop test but i think is not hardware issue i garbage lion.

    I forgot mouse lost connection

  • Imac freezes/crashes with any software

    Purchased this imac (intel) december 2009.  a few months later the freezing/crashing screen started.  I've since downloaded all software upgrades for OS, itunes, word, excel, icloud, leopard, lion etc.  I can't seem to get any answers thru the online/phone staff.
    A few weeks ago I notice that my "toolbar" actually has white spots/dots and when it's about to freeze, this white spots/dots start to jiggle.
    Also, when using Microsoft Word, the option button which is "blue" also have white spots/dots and it jiggles before freezing/crashing.
    I'm so confused...Do I restore my whole computer?  Do I take the desktop into the apple store? 
    If anyone wants a pic....i have some....

    Why are you convinced it's software? I would recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. Each pass will take 30-60 minutes in Extended Mode. If no errors appear after the first pass run in Extended Mode another 2-3 times to be sure. If you get errors write them down and make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP?

  • Pavilion Elite e9180f freezes, crashes, BSOD

    I am one of the many unhappy customers who bought this piece of junk (Pavilion Elite e9180f) and waited too long to return it because in my naivete, I thought it was some kind of simple software issue.  Nope!  It's definitely something wrong with the hardware, because the freezes and crashes have been happening since day 1, right when I took the thing out of the box.
    Yeah, the system is fast and runs Windows Vista great, when it's actually WORKING, which is usually only guaranteed for about the first 5 minutes after you power the system on and boot windows.  After that, it's just buying time before it crashes again.  Forget trying to get anything done on this computer.  Forget about asking this PC to play a video or music file without the files "stuttering" during playback.  Even my 7 year old Sony Vaio which is running XP can handle playing an MP3 file without stuttering and crashing!
    Like everyone else, the freezes and crashes happen either one of two ways:
    1) The machine begins to "stutter", stutter more, then freeze/crash.  When I say stutter, I mean I move the mouse, the pointer graphic will hesitate on the screen and lag behind.  If you start to play a video or music file, this manifests in an audible "stutter".  The stuttering gets worse and worse as minutes pass until eventually it freezes for good, blasting that 1/50th second moment of audio into infinity.  You have to reboot immediately if you don't want to go deaf or be driven mad.
    2)  I will be doing nothing at the time (example, I close all programs out and leave Windows sitting on the main desktop screen), I'll walk out of the room for a minute, then come back and find I can't move the mouse. This system will often lock-up without any warning!
    Sometimes I'll get a BSOD or error screen, sometimes I won't (in which case your only option is to do a cold re-boot.)  When I do get the BSOD, the error is ALWAYS the "did not get a response from the secondary processor" yada yada.  I wish HP would just admit they shipped this model out with a bad processor/motherboard/whatever and do an official recall.  I have owned PCs for the last 13 years and this is the worst and most consistently disappointing experience I have ever had.
    What is the hardware issue?  Which part is the lemon part?  The motherboard?  The processor?  The BSODs seem to indicate a bad processor.  I do have the Pegatron Truckee version 1.03 motherboard.  Is that the problem?
    P.S.  I have contacted HP on many occasions about this, literally stayed on the phone for hours with "customer support" (according to one HP rep, 80% of their customer service reps are based outside of the United States...good luck getting any "technical" help from them) to no avail.  I did talk to one nice tech support guy in Canada who said "it sounds like your unit has a bad processor", so he had HP send me a box to ship my unit to their repair center so they can replace the processor.  However, I have also had HP reps tell me it could be anything from the memory to the hard drive.  Multiple HP reps claimed to me that they have "received no complaints" about this system.  One guy told me he "thought he got an email last week" regarding "something" about the system, but couldn't remember what it was and he put me on hold while he searched for the email.  He never found it.  What a joke.
    EDIT:  Just to clarify, the crashing issue has been happening since day one, but initially I thought it was an issue with Vista.  I had never owned or used Vista before, so I thought maybe Vista was just unstable.  Nope.  I know several people who own Vista and have never experienced these issues.  I have downloaded every update from Microsoft/Windows Update.  I have upgraded to Vista SP2 with all the latest drivers and software for all of my hardware.  No luck.  It is definitely a hardware issue.  Thank god HP's warranty is good for 1 year (I bought my Elite in July).

    Unfortunately I have to add my disastrous encounter with HP's E9180F a true lemon HP is selling. I must take some responsibility for not carefully researching this model before I purchased, but I trusted the HP name and got stung- big time.
    The scoundrel  :
    HP and its Pavilion Elite e9180f
    Windows 7 64bit
    motherboard - Pegatron  Truckee ver 1.03
    BIOS ver  5.22Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
    Memory 9206 MB Ram   
    As so many others have reported my HP E9180f started locking up and going to BSOD right out of the box. My first freeze-up came when I was doing the Windows update process. At first I didn't think much about it but I started getting random freezes a couple time a day. At that point I went online to see if others had experienced the same problem and perhaps had a fix. What I found was very troubling;  I found extensive documentation describing my exact problems and what was really horrifying was the reports of how ridiculous HP's help services were treating people with the problem. At first I didn't totally believe what I was reading on HP's own customer forum; I do now.
    ·         I've went through the total recovery process three times now, HP techs have spent hours remotely running my computer, (yes it did lock up on them to)
    ·         I had to upgraded the BIOS. (HP tech tried, said he had, but he hadn't)
    ·         I was directed to clear the BIOS (luckily for me I had the tools
    ·         Updated all drivers again and again.
    ·         Next I was asked to remove the video card, memory, and motherboard power cable and reseat them. I declined because I didn't want to give HP any reason to void my HP 2 year House Call Care Pack which covers this unit. When I invited HP to send a service tech out to perform these tasks, they said that house call only covers part replacement, we weren't replacing a part. I couldn't believe what I was told. Are you feeling my frustration?  
    Keep in mind that each time HP requests that I make changes, they then ask me to test the system, which I did and each time with the same result, BSOD
    I'm heading into my fifth week of working with HP to fix this problem. and I still haven't even been able to get my case moved up to a senior case manager, what a joke HP's help process is.
     One conversation I loved was;
    HP tech: "I'll have a senior case manager call you within 24 hours."
    Skeptical me: "What should I do if I don't get a call?"
    Silence, no response.
    Me again: "What should I do if I don't get a call?"
    HP tech: "That's an impossibility."
    Guess what? The impossibility became reality (I bet you guessed) .
    HP's last stall tactic was to have me fax them my proof of purchase and invoice and call back in 24 hours. Where have I heard that before? Apparently nothing can go forward until they receive it. So I faxed them the stuff within 10 minutes, and when I called back 24 hours later, guess what, you're right it wasn't on their system yet. I asked couldn't I be escalated to a senior case manager  (it's apparent that only a senior case manager can do anything). "No," was the tech's reply, "call back again later".
    Please if anyone out there knows the secrete to getting a senior case manager, or an HP tech support number here in the U.S. so I can get this thing fixed I'd love to know it.
    Fast becoming HP never again.      

  • Photo Booth freezing/crashing Mavericks OS. How can I fix this?

    I downloaded Mavericks via Apple on November 5.  Before installing it I made sure my Mac system was totally functional: ran disk repairs, checked if I had installed apps that wouldn't run in Mavericks, etc. Everything went well during installation, and I was able to use my laptop for two days UP UNTIL I tried to use Photo Booth! I got a message that Photo Booth was gathering my images (presumably to move it to a new location based on new configuration of Mavericks), and there was also a progress bar. Suddenly I realized that the progress bar would not advance and that my MacBook Pro (mid 2007) had frozen. I restarted it, only to have it freeze upon startup.  I tried resetting the PRAM, and that only allowed me to make it to the desktop, but with no visible hard drive on my desktop, no dock at all, and I couldn't access any of the menus in the Finder window, not even to restart or shut down. Then I tried several options:
    Hard reset and tried to boot in safe mode. NOTHING. It was just impossible to safe boot it. At times I'd get up to half of the progress bar and then it'd freeze. Hard reset Command + S
    Hard reset Command + V
    Hard reset and reset the PRAM again, etc.
    Eventually I'd  make it to the desktop, the dock would show up, also the files on my desktop, but it'd not take longer to freeze again. It was all very odd because there was always a point when it'll would just freeze.
    Then I decided to try Command + R to repair disks. I Verified and repaired the discs. Then I restarted, and it froze. I decided to reinstall the OS through the Recovery mode screen. I did it. No success the problem persisted. I redid all this last steps again: Command + R, verify/repair disks, reinstall OS X. Once completed: MBP froze. The whole process was so time consuming that I gave up and just turned off my computer. The next day I was able to turn my computer on with success. Some of the folders that were open before the Photo Booth crash were on open. I closed everything and turned my MPB off using the Finder menu. Then I turned it on again, and once I got to the desktop and found no folders open, and I reopen Safari because I remember I was using it before opening Photo Booth. To my surprise it opened and all the pages I was visiting before the crash were there as if Safari resumed just how it was before the crash. I turned it all off again using the Finder menu. I was wondering if those Safari and the folders that were left open were for some reason conflicting with the system's start up. Then I turned it on again and this time I proceed to work with my computer but not before verifying/repairing the disks through the System Preferences menu.
    Everything went well. Later that day I decided to open Photo Booth to see if it'd work smoothly. It didn't open very smoothly but I was able to play around with it for a while. I turned it off and everything was great. The system was a little slower than what I was used to but I guessed it's because Mavericks demands a more advanced hardware. Then the next day the problem restarted!!! I was able to get to my desktop normally and decided to open Photo Booth to complete the task I wanted it to use it on the day of the first freeze/crash. And it froze my computer and it all restarted. This time, even redoing all the steps and even after reinstalling the system 3 times, I still can't get my computer to work. But at least one thing I know: this problems is being caused by Photo Booth! I'm desperate and I don't want to format and do a clean install because I will lose some important files. Does any of you have ANY idea of what's going on and what can I do to fix this? It's unnerving to have it fixed once (not knowing how) and suddenly find myself dealing with the same problem again!

    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • RMBP freezing / crashing (not chrome related)

    Hi, about 3 weeks ago my rMBP started to freeze randomly and i couldn't find anywhere on the internet nothing related to that, only the chrome / mountain lion conflicts, but... i'm not using google chrome, so why's that? This last freeze I got the log from the moments between the freeze, i'm hoping anyone here could help me with this by looking at the reports. thanks!

    1. Saving PSD's / Smart Objects.  Most of the time, whenever I try to save a PSD or smart object in PS, it prompts me with an error that says:  Could not save "..." because the file already in use or was left open by another program.
    This frequently occurs becasue it is being used someplace else.  It could be Bridge that is trying to build the cache, or it could be Windows indexing files.  Many turn Windows indexing off for this reason.
    2.  Freezing / Crashing.  I have never experienced photoshop freezing or crashing as much as I have with this update.  This happens during save (when it actually does save.) Though it only happens rarely, it happens enough to get me into some trouble when I loose all the work I have done since the last save.  (Happened 4 times in about 16 hours of use) 
    Are you saving over a network?  Best to save locally and copy to network.
    Also, CS6 puts a lot of stain on GPU driver.  For ATI the best driver is 12.8 and 13.3 v 6 beta (not sure if this is out of beta or not).  The ones inbetween are not so good.
    Note, if PS crashes it will save a copy on scratch disk if you have this option turned on in preferences.
    If it actually crashes, as opposed to freezing, check out the Event Log and look for Faulting Module.

    It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
    Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
    What can I do?
    How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
    Thanks

    Hey StephSassine,
    First, I would run through these steps:
    Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
    Increase disk space
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
    If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
    Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
    Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
    Select the disk you want to check.
    Click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
    via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions

    If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:

  • IPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???

    iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
    My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini.  It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive.  This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
    The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
    I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?)  all to no avail.
    I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
    SO - any suggestions:
    1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
    2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
    Cheers,
    Todd

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • HELP: iTunes 6 unable to sync songs with ipod - hangs freezes crashes

    Hi,
    This has been posted before, but a search of 500 messages have turned up no solutions. Anyone who has any idea of a solution please help.
    PROBLEM:
    iTunes 6 and ipod 5th gen unable to sync songs or manually move more than 50 songs at a time to ipod. It hangs / freezes / crashes when updating the ipod. It will stop at 50 songs, 100 songs, sometimes even 2200 songs - out of 8000.
    The "Beachball of death" comes on, and there is no way to force quit or stop the now frozen update. The only thing that gets a response is pulling the ipod from the dock or powering the computer down manually.
    TRIED:
    1. Repair permissions
    2. Update ipod with latest ipod update software
    3. Restore ipod " " " " '
    4. Used Activity Monitor to see where program hangs - no added info, it will stop randomly at different songs, and next time around it will pick another son to hang / freeze at
    5. uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible" in Energy Preferences pane
    I am at my wits end with this..... will try anything.... even Voodoo at this point as long as you tell me it worked for you!
    Anyone ever solved this long standing problem (which seems to be present with iTunes 7 as well) ?
    Thanks !

    my nokia 5800 keeps freezing/crashing when i try to view my pictures and videos? what do i do

    Try clearing privacy data in browser to get a bit of ram back. if no good , do hard reset, you'll need to re-set up phone so back up first. Then type *#7370# and use passkey 12345 and phone will re-start and be like'out of the box' your memory card will not be affected.
    Good Luck
