Mac Help and Freezing

Hello, I had some trouble with Mac Help yesterday - as in it's gone! - and I've tried the troubleshooting tips, but still no Mac Help. I don't know if probable cause is constant freezing over the last two days? Today is better (hence I can type), but I guess it is only a matter of time. The computer only freezes when plugged in and hooked up to internet, no problems when on battery (don't have Airport at home). Need Mac Help for help - but it isn't there and system keeps freezing in safari and discussions. Please, please some info?!?!?

The fact it is only freezing when you are plugged in
and hooked up to the internet says something about
how you are hooked up to the internet may be at
issue. What method of internet connection do you
have? Is it a standard telephone line, an ethernet
or USB modem?
Also have you backed up your data? Some
troubleshooting steps may require risky operations to
the hard disk, so we want to make sure you are backed
up first before we proceed.
Hi, and thanks for the reply. I haven't been able to respond, because - of course - every time I do the Mac freezes halfway through my message.
I have a modem and broadband at home, although I have recently purchased an Airport Card, which I haven't used yet. The problem is that I am going abroad for three months on Saturday (which is why I bought the card to access the school's WiFi where I'm going), and I doubt I'll be able to do much before then.
I only really have iTunes on it that I might not be able to get back. Although I have iPod rip which I have used. My guarantee from where I bought my iBook doesn't run out until October - so in theory I can go to them when I return.
The freezing only occurs when I'm attached to the modem (though not neccesarily online), and seems to be better when it only runs off the battery. It is very confusing. It also seems to freeze more often when I type - it's not so bad when I'm just browsing.
I'm writing this on a friend's computer to get all the info out there. I will check the responses but don't know if/when I will be able to type again as it's such a lottery...But I really would appreciate any help you can offer - and any advice about backing up my information.
Many thanks,
Zachary

  • Dreamweaver CS4 for Mac crashes and freezes

    I couldn't find other postings related to this, but if I
    missed something, please let me know! I've been working with CS4
    for about two weeks and have intermittent success.
    After I first installed, I noticed a problem within
    Dreamweaver where I could work within the application, but coudln't
    switch to other open apps. As soon as I tried, my computer would
    freeze, forcing me to do a hard reboot. Because I was working on a
    deadline, I stopped using CS4 and went back to CS3 for a few days.
    I then went back to CS4 to see if I could figure out what was
    wrong, and wasn't able to replicate the problem. It worked great
    for a little over a week.
    No for the past few days, I'm experiencing the same problem.
    It doesn't happen right away and I can usually open a few pages and
    work with them before I notice the problem . . . but after working
    for a short amount of time, if I try to switch to another
    application or use any of the items on the main tool bar (File,
    Edit, etc), my computer stops responding. I can usually get a few
    quick commands in, like saving the file by doing a ctl-S, before it
    freezes completely, and then am left having to do a hard reboot.
    And every once in a while, the application will complete
    crash when I try to open a file. it doesn't seem to matter which
    one, it's pretty random. I prefer it when it crashes so I don't
    have to reboot my computer.
    Adobe does have a knowledge base article at
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405911,
    but so far nothing I have done has helped. I've gotten through item
    18 on the list, with the exception of 14 and 15, and I wasn't
    really sure what I was looking for with 16 (review the Console
    logs).
    Before I do anything more drastic, I thought I'd post
    something to see if anyone else has thoughts on what to check. In
    all actuality, instead of taking this any further, I will likely
    just go back to CS3 until I hear more about updates or fixes.
    Thanks!

    Well, this is my third attempt at fixing this problem. Each
    time, the application works flawlessly for a few days and then
    gradually starts to freeze and crash intermittently until it
    finally completely freezes each and every time I try to open a
    file.
    Here is a recap of what I've tried:
    - Troubleshooting tasks (1) - (19), (22), (23), and (28) from
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405911.
    - Reducing the display resolution seemed to work for about
    two weeks, but then gradually the problem started happening again.
    - Reinstalling my system software worked for about two days.
    - My most recent "fix" was to change the configuration of my
    sites within DW. Up until now, I've either been accessing files off
    of a network drive (directly, not from within a defined DW "site),
    or through a DW site where the local folder was a network drive.
    When I copied the files from the harddrive to my desktop and opened
    them in DW, I didn't have any problems. I was also able to get a
    co-worker who has a brand new MBP with a fresh install test and
    confirm the same problem.
    I found this today -->
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16644
    which is old, but once I changed my site configuration so that the
    local folder was something on my HD and the remote folder was the
    network drive, I haven't had a freeze once. Now, it's only been 2
    hours, so I'll reserve my excitement.

  • Re: Mac overheating and freezing

    I've had my mac for about three years now without many problems. Lately, it has been heating up to the point where if rested on my lap it will actually burn my skin. Also, its been freezing and lagging more and more frequently. The other day I had my mac on my lab and placed a bit of pressue on the bottom beneath my keybord and the screne began to flash colours. This just happened again tonight and the computor screne went read and froze.
    Has anyone else had issues like these?
    Also two years ago my left speaker was detached internally for unknown reasons. Also, other people with the same model that I know have complained that there macs overheat but this is something else.

    It would would get hot, but never froze while gaming. It would freeze randomly while running just a few apps like ical, safari and contacts or some like combination. I added a solid state drive and a external cooling fan...it runs much better and faster now, but still occasionally freezes for what seems to be no particular reason.

  • HT202159 I downloaded Dragon Express and now it won't open.  It says it is INSTALLED but it won't open when clicked.  Tried to trash it and start over but won't let me trash because it says it is open.  But it isn't!  Called mac help and they can't help e

    I downloaded Dragon Express and think that it did not completely complete the download.  However, it says that it has been installed and my account has been charged 50.00.  However, when I click on the icon, it will not open.  I have tried everything from restarting, trashing the app, but it continues to tell me that I cna't trash the app because it is open.  I called apple support and they worked with me for about 30 minutes until they finally told me that the call had to end regardless of the fact that after all of their efforts, the problem was not resolved.  He gave me a link to get a refund and said it was easy to navigate however, it led me nowhere.  So now I am stuck with a worthless app, that does not work and a 50.00 bill to pay because I can't get support or link support to get a refund and even if I could get a refund I still have the Dragon express on my computer that does not work!!!  HELP!  I don't know how the app can be open when even support could not figure it out!  When I restart, the finder window opens where it never did before.

    Well first of all this is a public forum, so keep that in mind. The users here generally can not look up your case numbers.
    If AppleCare didn't work out for you, I believe your next step is
    iTunes Store Support
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    Unfortunately, their case indexing is on a different database, and they will not be able to look up your case number either. However, their support is free, and despite it may take a few bounces of emails back and forth, there is a decent chance they may be able to get a solution.
    Or... you can still try to shoot the **** with us here, which is Ok as well. But you'll have to keep in mind we can't look up your case numbers.
    By the way, the link for a refund, I think is for the same link I just gave you, so on second though, mabye it's best to just go there.

  • Paying monthly for a mac help and graphics card query

    So i'm thinking of buying a mac from the uk and i can pay it off monthly, which is 67pounds. does anyone know what the interest will be overall. its costing me a total of 2,240pounds. thanks.
    reason for me buying a mac is so i can run final cut pro. does anyone know what the essential graphic card is to run final cut pro smoothly. or will the standard one be enough which comes with the mac pro?

    i was told that the mac pro is the ultimate thing for final cut pro
    It is. However, it's not a computer one should buy on a tight budget and from the sounds on it you're way over stretched as is. It's sort of like buying an Audi TT where you have to spend around an extra £9000 or so on optional extras to make it worthwhile. Same goes with the Mac Pro.
    because it can be upgraded where as the imac cannot
    True… but you still have to be able to afford those upgrades and without doing so your Mac Pro won't be going anywhere near its best.
    i was told that having 2gb ram is more than enough
    You were told what you wanted to hear and what would make it easier for you to buy it. For FCS you're talking about a 4GB RAM minimum configuration with an 8GB recommended configuration.
    because we have 2gb ram at our uni computers and final cut pro runs smooth.
    That's a matter of perspective as you might want to see FCP running with 4GB+ RAM.
    i heard you can get a few problems with an imac because everything is compact into one interface.
    Did you hear that from the guy trying to sell you a Mac Pro? While it's true that every system has it's problems, and the iMac is no exception, you find that the iMac is an extremely well performing system for its price.
    Don't get me wrong, the Mac Pro is the best system to buy if you're a video editor. You do however need the budget to go along with that and video is one arena which demands the absolute most from your computer system. Lacking in one area actually hampers the performance of the system as a whole and it is no more prevalent than with video.
    My recommended minimum Mac Pro package for a video editor is…
    Mac Pro 2.66Ghz 4GB RAM/2 x 500GB HDD RAID 0/ATi X1900 XT/1920 x 1200 resolution display/1TB HDD clone/1500VA-800W UPS
    Remember, video editing is not just FCP and as your chosen profession it's the unfortunate cost of your

  • DW CS3 Hangs and Freezes!!!

    DW CS3 on a Mac Hangs and Freeze constantly! Are other
    finding this problem? I do not know what to do about it.
    Nancy

    >Here's a more intelligent response
    Well here it is a year later and daylight savings has ended.
    Everytime I try to open a dynamic page, Dreamweaver CS3 hangs.
    So I find this thread, delete the winfilecache.dat file, and all is well.
    >The question is, how do we disable this?
    So DWQues, the answer is out there for those with open minds.
    I doubt DWQues will ever come this way again, but I am sure others will.
    Happy standard time!!!

  • Mac help closes before I can use it

    This is really two questions, since "Help" isn't working. I've connected two macs (mine with a G4 iBook) and I'm trying to transfer stuff from one to the other via ethernet. It seems I've forgotten what I have to do, since I've allowed file sharing on both computers, but neither recognizes the other when I browse for networks.
    I once uses mac help to figure it out, but now the help closes as soon as I open it. I select Help from the menu in the Finder, then I select "Mac Help," and the window opens, white, and the closes immediately, before I can do a search.
    Any ideas about what's going on? Thanks

    Hi Homer
    Try this to fix the Help Viewer:
    Try first (quit Help) deleting this folder:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui
    If Help still doesn't work, try then deleting these files:
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
    (and
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
    for those who use Panther)

  • Bridge CC is asking my to 'purge cache'. When I do this doesn't work and freezes my mac. Bridge is unable to work at all. Please help?

    When I start up Bridge CC I get a error message instructing me to purge cache in preferences which I do but it doesn't work and freezes my mac. I cannot curretnly use Bridge CC. PLease help as this is costing me time and money - thank you in advance....

    Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge, keep it down until you see a dialog box, then click all three options in the re-set box that comes up.
    If you don't see that re-set box, you're doing it wrong, i.e., you're not holding the Option key down fast enough.

    Your expectations are not based in reality.
    Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure.

    You can find out what processes are loading your system by running Application Monitor (in Launchpad > Utilities if you're running Lion or Launchpad > Other under Mountain Lion). Select "All Processes". Sort the display by CPU% (click on the label of that column). What processes show over 10% CPU?
    Also, when you click on the CPU button on the lower bar, what shows as your % idle? (Mine is showing about 98% just reading and posting here.)
    If no process is causing the heat, you could have a hardware problem.

  • I have a powerbook G-4 15 inch, It wont boot up and the display only works on the first try. it gets to the apple screen and freezes, when i try to restart theres no display. Help please, whats the issue here?

    I left it running over night, it was running perfectly, in the morning the screen was black. i tried to restart it and got no display but i can hear the machine running. so i put away for several months, plug it in, charge the battery, it boots, i have a display, it loads the desktop and freezes. when i try to restart it theres no display. the last time i tried, i started it, i got to the apple screen and nothing. whats the issue here? please help.

    Will it boot OK in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 Takes a while to run, but it usually "fixes" problems.
    Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup

  • Mac Pro keep freezing and powering off itself

    I have a Mac Pro 2008. For weeks now, it will start, work for plus minus 4 minutes and freeze or go off itself.
    There is no authorised maintenance in my country. Has someone experience the same before ? Have tried all reset, etc..
    Does it has to do with the power supply ? It is connected via a UPS.
    PLEASE HELP.

    Can you tell us how much RAM  (Memory) you have? It's listed by clicking on the  in your title  bar....go to About This Mac and it's in the 1st window.
    We would also like to know what size hard drive you have and how much free space is on it.
    If you click on your Hard drive icon (should be upper right hand corner of your screen), or the Finder in your Dock...when the window opens it says at the bottom how much Free Space you have on your drive.
    If you go to the , click on About This Mac, click on More Info... in that window. The next window says how big your hard drive is under Hardware....click on Serial-ATA.....look under Capacity:
    We need to know this cause if a hard drive is too full it slows things down and creates operational difficulties.

  • Please help! Safari keeps hanging/not responding and freezes everything else up.

    I've got a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and Safari (5.1.9) keeps hanging/crashing. I'm afraid I'm not very good with these things so I'll just have to tell the story...
    It's happening when I start up Safari, either the home page (Google) doesn't fully load and the pinwheel appears, or it loads but as soon as I try to search or use bookmarks the pinwheel appears. I'm unable to quit Safari, open or close Finder or any software, and it won't shut down normally either. I've tried using Cmd-Option-Esc to Force Quit but the pinwheel appears again and nothing happens. The only option left is to do a hard shut down. After repeating this 5 or 6 times it eventually lets me use Safari, but will almost always hang again unexpectedly at some point during the day. I know this isn't the best way to deal with it but I don't know what else to do!
    I'm sorry if this question has already been asked and answered, but because I don't have an error report I don't know whether my issue is the same and don't want to start messing with things when I'm not sure what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for your help!
    P.S. The unexpected hanging and freezing started while I was running Leopard and an older version of Safari. I tried to back up and reinstall the OS but my optical disk drive wouldn't read the disk, so I had to take it to an Apple store where they couldn't find anything wrong but installed Snow Leopard and hoped that fixed the problem. It didn't, and it's since started happening on start up, as described above.

    Open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then click Verify Disk.
    If the disk needs repairing, you will need to use the install disc(s) that came with your Mac.
