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 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.

  • Windows 7 on Mac Freeze before login.

    Hello!
    I recently purchased a macbook pro retina, mainly for music production but also for some other stuff.
    Now the thing is that the music production software that i'm using, does only work with pc. So i decided to
    bootcamp my mac so that i can use it as a pc.
    So far everything has gone as planned. I can now operate windows 7 on my mac and the Music Software (FL Studio 10)
    works as a charm.
    It was just recently when i tried to install my external Sound drive (Audiobox USB) that i was experiencing some problems
    with the audio. So i googled about the issue and somewhere i read that it could possibly have to do with the USB drivers being out of date.
    So i checked the device manager to see the who the developer of the usb drive is (to find updates) ect.
    Now when i've found the updates, i try to uninstall the previous USB devices that i have so that i can install the new ones. But somewhere in between
    uninstalling and installing the new drivers, the computer suddenly freezes. I try to reboot normally and in safe mode, but when i come to the
    windows log in screen, i can't type or move my mouse.
    I'm not very bright when it comes to computers (especially macs), but after giving it some thought i think that i might have caused an error
    since i kinda forgot i was operating on a macbook and not Pc. I mean, when using bootcamp you get the "apple drivers for windows" download
    and that's probably where i should have gone in the first place, to look for updates. Now instead i have tried to manually take away the usb drivers and install the
    updates from Intels website.
    Is there a way to solve this without having to start over and uninstall/install bootcamp from scratch?
    Best regards

    You seem to have accidentally uninstalled the BC USB drivers.
    The simplest method is to use a wired keyboard/mouse and download BC drivers from System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers which will restore all your USB drivers except the AudioBox driver.
    Find the correct ones for AudioBox and install them in addition to what you already have.

    You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

  • Mac freezes on finder

    My Imac boots up but it freezes on the finder. I can navigate via the key board and my mouse works,, but no programs will open.  I cannot open time machine to revert back to when it was working correctly
    I have a dialog box asking me if i want to enable" "net session_mac_b94eec3" to accept incoming network messages? " 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Try to delete the application while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mac freezes for a few seconds

    Hello fellow Mac users,
    since a few days my MacBook Pro is running slow. It doesn't matter what I do, sooner or later the mac freezes (just showing the spinning wheel) for a few seconds and that happens very often, about every 2 minutes. The system runs on 15% workload. Starting Apps takes very long as well. I hoped that the troubleshooting page for Software problems of the Apple support homepage would help, but it did not.
    Additionally, the MacBook is not shutting down and if it does it takes very long.
    It doesn't matter if I start on a different account or start with the safe boot.
    I had this problem about a half a year ago. I just reinstalled OS X and it just worked fine. But I don't have time to do that again.
    Specs:
    Mac OS X 10.10.3
    MacBook Pro 15" Early 2011

    I would be very thankful for every kind of help.

  • 10.4 machines freeze at login

    This morning all machines with 10.4.X on them in the high school freeze at login to the network, you can login locally fine. Any Leopard machines can login as usual. Anyone have any idea why the 10.4 machines which worked fine yesterday are having a problem today?
    When I looked in server log I found this multiple times... but I have no idea how to fix.
    Sep 9 09:06:51 Xserve servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no hostname set and unable to detect via DNS, services may not function properly - use changeip to repair

  • MBP freezes at login - Please help!

    hey all!
    please,please, please help me...
    ...just now it started that my mbp crashes (or freezes) at the login.
    yes, i have installed all updates and firmware etc. but days or weeks ago and till now it worked without any problems.
    i get to the login screen and see the cursor blink once and then it is gone and i can't sign in.
    i did a restart in safemode and repaired the rights and checked the volume (which is ok) but still it freezes.
    adobe version cue is not installed (or any other startup item).
    i'm quite new to the mac so could anybody please help me out here?
    thank you!

    Oddly, mine is doind the same. It was working fine on Monday. I left it overnight to let the UNIX processes run overnight.
    Had a day off yesterday. Came in this morning to find the machine locked solid and roasting hot!!
    I have used the install disc and repaired permissions and repaired the disc. No use.
    I have reinstalled the OS from the supplied discs and run the updates and still it freezes at login. I get as far as selecting my user and typing the password and then it freezes.
    I'm now going through the safe boot option. After that I'm going to have to rebuild my account since it is the only thing left.
    I don't understand how the machine can chew itself up so much overnight that it hangs.
    I have to be honest and say that I'm less impressed with the MBP. My old 700MHz G3 iBook works better than this.
    The powersupply (I think) whines at me.
    The wireless connection is a best, flakey
    The OS seems to want to crumble under it's own weight.
    Oh...and now the it has rebooted it can't get past the 'Starting Mac OS X....' screen.
    If anyone has any bright ideas I would appreciate them. I'm now going to boot in single user mode and do apples recommended pokes to see what happens.

    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.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze?

    Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze (makes spinning circle loading) and doesn't stop when I am asked to select my country/region? I already had trouble downloading it originally because there was an error downloading, and then the following image happens (note: the screenshot couldn't capture the spinning circle freeze, but just look at the "application not responding" message below):
    Why does this happen? I downloaded and opened photoshop elements 10 (that came with the bundle) fine, but I can't open this.
    For reference, I am using a mac book pro from 2012 that is 64bit on OS X 10.8.5.
    Edit: Also, for the aforementioned error that I was getting earlier when installing, I would try to install and then half way through it said that the download failed. I had to follow the second method to fix in this link:

    I do not think we are in sync yet, but I will need to sign off soon. It is about 1 am where I am.
    1. Not sure what you mean by 2 warranty licenses that the CD comes ith in the package.
    If you purchased the Premiere Elements 10 Mac in boxed packaging, then you should have an installation disc and a purchased serial number. You cannot lose that. You can install and reinstall the program when you need to do so. There is no limit on uninstalling or reinstalling. The only limit is Adobe allows you to have your purchased serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. We can talk about it some more if necessary but there is a distinction between Deactivate and Uninstall. There has not been a limit on Deactivations in years.
    Another approach if you think your installation files or disc is corrupt is to download tryout files from the following web site and then install from them and insert you purchased serial number at installation.
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    You have to read the Note: Very Important Instructions very carefully otherwise you end up with Access Denied.
    If you think that we are now in sync, then I would suggest
    a. Delete the preference file (settings file)
    or
    b. Deactivate, uninstall, ccleaner run through, reinstall as per your instructions that worked for you.
    I will be watching for further details in the morning. Hopefully some of the Premiere Elements Mac users will join the thread to give the Mac perspective to the situation.
    Thanks.
