Mac Freezes when taking snapshot/screenshot via CMD+SHIFT+3

my computer freezes for about a minute whenever i take a snapshot/screenshot. is anyone else experiencing this? i've tried repairing using first aid in disk utility with no luck. anyone have any idea?

no i have not. i just found someone else who has the same problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9216400&#9216400
this issue only occurs for him when he's using the "Better Performance" option in Energy Saver and only when it's not plugged into an adapter. i tested it and realized that it was the same for me. perhaps it's punishment for not being energy efficient :P. I'll keep my settings on "better battery life" until this bug (if it is a bug) is fixed.

Maybe you need a new VGA adapter? Can you bring your MacBook and adapter in to an Apple store and have them test your adapter and a known working adapter?

[SOLVED] dbus error when taking a screenshot

I can't take screenshots with the Gnome3 screenshot program. When I try to save a screenshot, I get this error message:
Error while saving screenshot.
Impossible to save the screenshot to file:///home/some/directory.
Error was GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/bin/nautilus exited with status 1.
Please choose another location and retry.
I found a thread with a similar problem (dbus error when taking a screenshot; the error message is different though) providing a solution, but I can't try that solution because I don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file.
How can I fix this?
Last edited by cryptkeeper (2012-03-05 08:12:36)

Damn, I found the solution (or better: source) of the problem... The error messages states that /usr/bin/nautilus exits with error something-something, and after thinking about that for some seconds it came to my mind that I replaced /usr/bin/nautilus with a softlink (ln -s) to /usr/bin/thunar because I didn't find a better way to totally replace Nautilus with Thunar...
Thanks for trying to help anyway!

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.

IE freezes when playing quiz slides via LMS

Has anyone experienced issues with Internet Explorer going into Not Responding status when attempting to complete or move through quiz slides when they are displayed via an LMS? Using Captivate 4, published to Flash 8, IE 7.
-beverly

Yes, I have experienced something very similar.
It will sometimes freeze when the user answers a question and then clicks the submit button. Sometimes it will also freeze when a user clicks on the IE close button (Red X in the upper right hand corner)...Or sometimes it will close the browser but then our LMS stops responding.

Mac Freezes When Using Skype and Watching Video

I have a Mac (OS X Ver. 10.6.8 Build 10K549) with 4 GB Memory and 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Processor. My Mac freezes, and requires a hard reset. **Everything** freezes, keyboard and mouse click no longer works. Sound may continue. This happens all the time I use **Skype** and sometimes when I watch **video** online. This happened before when I was using Mavericks. It reached to a point that I could not use my Mac. I basically installed **Snow Leopard** back again. Problem was solved until the last two days. I deleted and re-installed Skype. This did not solve the issue. Unfortunately, I could not find a solution to my problem after a research in these pages. Thanks.

I had the same problem but it seemed to stop after I installed a program called Caffeine that prevents your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. I haven't had a freeze-up as long as I have it enabled.

Mac freezing when hooked up to HDMI cable...

While presenting videos in class for teaching (like youtube and netflix) my mac freezes and lags when hooked up to an hdmi cable. Why?
It freezes at a spot and I hear the audio for a few seconds then it completely freezes-sound too.
In order to remedy this problem I have to unplug, shut down, and restart for a good 5 minutes. Not sure why this is happening but it hurts the flow of my teaching!
Help

I have been having a similiar issue where I use the HDMI dongle on my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) hooked up to an external TV/Monitor. After a couple of hours, the MacBook freezes with crazy sounds coming out the speaker and heavy pixelation on the screen. I reboot and it's fine again. I only had this issue when I started using the HDMI dongle. I been using the VGA dongle and everything works great.

MBP freezes when doing too much and cmd-tabbing

My MBP sometimes freezes when I am doing a bunch of stuff on my laptop and then I cmd-tab to another application. When I say my laptop freezes, I mean that the system is frozen, keyboard input does not work, but moving the mouse DOES work (even though clicking on anything doesn't do anything.) I have to do a hard reset to get out of this, meaning I press and hold on the power button until the computer shuts down.
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this? I've encountered this numerous times, typically once a week usually. It actually seems like it happens during times when I am cmd-tabbing very rapidly (i.e. when doing web development, I will cmd-tab to my browser, refresh, cmd-tab to my text editor, etc. but how can this freeze my powerful system?! I only typically use about 1.5 GB of the RAM).
Thanks in advance!

If there any pattern to what applications you have open when you get the freezing? You will probably find it's an application rather than the application switcher itself. Also, check your Dashboard widgets. If you are using 3rd party widgets try closing them and see if the problem goes away.
You can also try deleting your Finder preferences by dragging the file…
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
… to the Trash (don't empty it just yet) and then immediately restarting and see if that makes a difference.

Why does my airbook mac freeze when using external hard drive

This is a recent development, my MacBook Air freezes when I attach my external CD drive and I have to do a hard restart (hold the power button till it turns off). This never use to happen. Any suggestions? Cheers!

Hi
Can anyone suggest what is happening and how to get around this? In worst case is there a way to move the files outside of imovie that will still allow them to be properly displayed within imovie?
I don't think that it can be done that way - BUT I KNOW that it can be very destructive
most probably end up as un-reparable.
The move of projects and events - works so much better in iMovie'09

Mac freezes when installing Dreamweaver CS

I've downloaded the current trial version of Dreamweaver CS
and tried several times to install it on a Mac running OSX. But
every time, when the installation screen gets to the point where it
says it is installing Dreamweaver CS, the progress bar freezes and
the installation doesn't complete. I've let it sit for a half hour,
but the installation doesn't complete.
I've tried uninstalling and it hangs too during the
uninstallation.
I have the most current OSX updates installed, and I've
downloaded Dreamweaver CS three times with the same result each
time.
Any suggestions on how I can get Dreamweaver CS to install
correctly?

Window freezes when Product category selected via match-code (search help)

Hello Experts,
I am using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
I maintained a product category hierarchy in the SRM environment.
I maintained the GL Accounts related, the tax determination, the source system etc.
I did all this customizing in a Development environment where everything was working fine.
Now I just transported all this to a Quality environment.
And in the Quality I am facing the following issue :
If I select a product category via the match-code (search help), after the category is selected, the window freezes.
I have to shut it down manually using the Windows Close button.
However, when I type the category number, everything works fine.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, and how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,
Sofiane

Hello,
We have the exact same issue in SRM 7.0 Extented Classic Scenario. This was working fine before we installed the latest support package 11. Which support package do you have?
The same problem occurs with every drop down menu (search help) in EBP. For example when creating a new shopping cart, if I try to add approver, the same thing happens. After clicking 'Approval Process: Display / Edit Agents' > 'Add Approver', the window freezes. Same thing happens with IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Could you also try the same?
Could it be a new bug in SP11?
Thanks and best regards,
Matti Hokkanen
