OK, then open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilties - Activity Monitor), look in the column marked %CPU and see if you have any processes that are taking a lot of %CPU.
You can also copy the information out of the crash logs which you will find by opening a Finder window-click the Go menu - choose Go to Folder and input ~/Library/Logs. Then click Crash Reporter and open the first file and copy and paste it's contents to your next post.

  • Mac freezing frequently

    Hi -- This evening the Mac started freezing frequently. I have rebooted three times,and am worried that I have contracted a virus.  I have no virus software, and have heard rumors that Mac is now vulnerable to new viruses.  What shall I do now

    Two macs to one hard drive via a kvm or two pc's to a hard drive via a kvm are ok.  But a mac and pc to a hard drive no.  You need to format the drive so it is acceptable to the system.  Windows, probably FAT32 or NTFS.  Mac, OS X Extended.  While a mac can read those formats and write FAT32 I wouldn't want to back up in that format.  You really want a bootable backup (I don't use Time Machine).
    Also, kvm?  Does that mean you would be connecting through incredibly slow USB?
    Get two externals, one of each machine.  Use Firrewire if you don't have thunderbolt.  At least it is faster than usb.

  • Mac freezes frequently, then takes 3 or 4 boots to start

    I just got my HD replaced by Apple because my HD crashed while installing Leopard. So anyway, I just got it back and it frequently freezes, I have control of the arrow but can't click anything and nothing responds. So I shut down the comp, rebooted it and got the flashing folder/question mark after about 4 minutes of blue screen goodness. So I shut it down 2 or 3 more times it and it finally started up, but it still frequently freezes and I have to repeat the process all over again. Any idea as to what the problem is? And yes, I've ran Disk Utility a couple times and that doesn't fix anything.

    Hello
    Generally speaking its not easy to say something about such sometimes errors but I think there is no easy fix for this because it doesnt seem to be a software problem. I think its serious hardware malfunction
    What you can try is loading the default settings in BIOS (F9 key) and save the default settings. Then test it again if you notice the same problem again or not.
    If yes I would contact an authorized service provider. Your notebook should be still under warranty so the guys can fix this problem for free.
    Have a look on Toshiba website to find nearest service point. :)

    My mac os frequently freezes for one to two minutes at a time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer 11.3 several times because I sometimes get a crash report on flashplayer. I would like other suggestions as to what more I can do.

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Mac OS X Lion Server screen freezes frequently

    I have recently purchased the Mac Mini Server with 8GB RAM Upgrade and have been experiencing screen freezes frequently. The Mac Mini is connected to a ViewSonic LED Monitor via an HDMI cable and is running Mac OS X Lion Server.
    It all started a month ago and I suspected it was due to an external hard disk I had. When I removed it the problem didn't crop up for a few weeks. So I thought the issue was resolved.
    Over the past week the problem re-surfaced again and nearly everyday I am experiencing screen freezing about five times a day and the only option is to power down my Mac Mini Server from the power button. This is becoming increasingly frustrating. When screen freezing occurs, everything freezes and I get some small rectangular boxes on screen moving.
    The only things that have changed over the past week was that I installed the latest Safari fix and connected the Harman Kardon Sounsticks II to the Mac Mini.
    Can't understand what is happening. From various threads I read, many mac users are experiencing screen freezes. If anyone has any resolutions please let me know.

    Lion has a screen refresh bug it is just the screen going to sleep and the the screen updating only where the curser moves.

  • New Mac Pro Freezes frequently in FCP

    We recently replace our G5 video editing computer with a new Mac Pro. We are running most current version of Final Cut, Quicktime and Leopard. 8GB RAM. Our G5 virtually never froze up, but the new one freezes frequently during editing. Beach ball that doesn't go away w/o holding down the start button on the computer.
    All sw was clean install on the new machine.
    Anyone else experiencing or have suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Putting the Project file on another drive does ZERO for performance. Keep it on your system drive.
    Trash preferences
    Use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions
    Remove your RAM and see if you still have issues.
    Those are my suggestions.

  • Mac Pro freezes frequently after "NVChannel" error in system.log

    Hi,
    Can anybody here with a 2008 Mac Pro run the Folding @ Home client without hard crashing the Mac?
    I have a 2008-model Mac Pro, with the nVidia GeForce 8800 GT, which freezes frequently. As detailed in an earlier post[1], the graphics driver sees to be implicated, as just before the freezes, messages like this appear in the system log:
    kernel kern 3/30/08 7:53:52 PM Debug NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0x6 = Fifo: Parse Error
    kernel kern 3/30/08 7:53:52 PM Debug 0000000b
    If you google for "NVChannel freeze" then you will find many many Mac owners whose machines freeze with similar symptoms. Apple recently released the "Leopard Graphics Update" which fixes such problems for some users, but not others.
    In my 2008 Mac Pro's case, I have found a way to trigger the freeze 100% of the time: install the freeware Folding@Home client[2], and run the demo in the Applications folder. Just opening this app causes those messages to appear in the log, and then the Mac freezes.
    I work for a software company which writes Mac software, so now that I have found a reliable way to reproduce this issue, I will be filing a bug report through Apple's bug system. But for my own sanity, I would like to collect more info, if possible.
    If you have a 2008 Mac Pro and want to be cool, try running the Folding @ Home client app (link below) and post in this thread:
    a.) whether or not your Mac froze
    b.) what video card you have
    c.) how much RAM you have
    Thanks!

    Yup… this is a memory fault and you should firstly try reseating the RAM and memory Risers (even change the slots they are in - depending on your configuration of course). The can often remove these issues.
    Failing that, I would contact the RAM vendor and discuss it with them. Depending on how they sell things it might be simpler to send a kit, as in two DIMMs, back for replacement rather than a single DIMM that is part of a kit. Also, unless they specifically match your original DIMMs then you'd be better of returning both.

  • My 6 year old iMac is freezing frequently and I have random weird display spots - any suggestions?

    I'm having issues with my desktop Mac - I took it to apple and they ran a diagnostic and said it was fine.  The screen has frequently appearing inconsistencies like weird little sections of random colors and now the whole thing is freezing frequently.  I have approx 60 gb free and I'm running 10.7.3 with no odd software or especially labor intensive programs other than iPhoto.
    Any ideas are more than welcome!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. 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.

    I am trying to download a variety of files and when it is finished, the Mac freezes up and the task bar continue to blink on and off.
    I have to go into Firefox and actually quit the application to continue. Any help is very much appreciated.

    are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX"  meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
    Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
    a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
    To see your HD on your desktop GOTO  FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there,  and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.

  • Why my Mac freeze when PDF files in the FINDER

    I have that problem since yesterday: when I try to either select or even just view the content of a folder with PDF files in it, my Mac freeze progressively after few seconds. Then, the only solution is to force quit by holding the power button. Really annoying! What should I do? My computer is only 4-5 months old.
    I've uninstalled Acrobat, verified all my drives with Disk Utility, repaired my permissions and emptied my library cache. Nothing... Could it be the recent Firefox update ( yesterday )? Until 24 hours ago, everything was fine.
    Thanks for the help!

    Since this is happening in the Finder... try this:
    Locate this file: com.apple.finder.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
    If that didn't do the job, do a Spotlight search and look for any .pdf files you have downloaded and saved and DELETE them. Somewhere in your system you have a corrupted .pdf file.
    And, check the hard disk. Even if you've done this already, try again:
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
    Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
    Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    Also, the best way to have Apple be aware of these issues is to send them crash reports. Here's how to do that:
    Reporting problems to Apple
    When an application quits unexpectedly, you see a dialog that gives you the option to submit a report about the problem, called a “bug report,” to Apple.
    When you submit a bug report to Apple, it includes information about the problem and your computer’s configuration. Many problems are directly attributable to the hardware and software configuration.
    No personal information is gathered about you or your computer. No information that can be used to identify your computer is sent, such as volume names, network addresses, or hardware addresses. For more information, click the link at the bottom of the page to see Apple’s customer privacy policy.
    To submit a bug report to Apple:
    Connect to the Internet.
    In the dialog that appeared when the application quit, click the Submit button.
    Type a description of what you were doing when the application quit. List the applications that were open when the problem occurred, and any steps or hints to reproduce the problem.
    Review the report in the Crash Report window.
    Click “Send to Apple” to submit the report.
    You won’t receive an immediate response, but Apple greatly appreciates your taking the time to submit a bug report. As the software is revised, these reports are reviewed to help improve the software.
    Your computer also records details about the problem in a log file. You can use log files to troubleshoot problems with an application, or you can send a log to the application’s developer if it is requested.
    You can view the logs in Console, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.

  • Every time I click print in Pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes.

    I just updated to the newest version of pages and every time I click print in pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes. Any suggestions on fixing this? I've tried shutting down and restarting several times...nothing seems to be working and I'm loosing/wasting time trying to fix this...

    Hey there nmiller0528,
    It sounds like you are unable to print from Pages at all from your computer. I want to recommend troublehsooting the Mac OS for print issues with this article named:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
