Mac OS X GUI keeps freezing
Hello,
Approximately once in every two weeks my Mac OS X GUI hangs. Applications are working, but I am unable to change them via command-tab, or via mouse click. Mouse pointer is moving. I am able to login from remote machine via ssh. Last time 'killall -HUP Terminal.app' helped (and earlier 'killall -HUP Dock.app').
Any ideas what might cause this?
I am running Mac OS X 10.4.8 on MBP
(uname -a:
Darwin kether.local 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Mon Sep 25 19:42:00 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.13.8.obj~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386). AHT didn't find any problems with my hardware. Problem didn't occur on 10.4.7.

Another crash - please see attached system.log:

TS2998 mini mac server Mail App keeps freezing for all users.
not an email or password or ISP problem, an issue with the machine.
mini mac server late 2011
moountian lion operating system.
all was ok until about a month ago when this issue develops.
cant investigate because the program freezes, but only on this machine
any ideas?FWIW I've been struggling with this for a long time across many computers. Almost reliably when I look at my aggregate Inbox I see messages including new messages in my Exchange account's inbox, but when I click on the Exchange Inbox I would see nothing. Then I would have to quit and restart Mail and the box would show up.
Irregularly I would also occasionally get into a situation where all new messages received in the Exchange account would show no content when selected. When this happened in the past I would have to go through a separate webmail interface to read them.
This week I experienced a new wonder where the account was online and appeared to Synchronize OK, but I stopped getting new messages. Reboot, offline/online, disable/enable account: none of these fixed it.
Finally I just found a workaround: by modifying the account to store no messages on the computer, and then restarting mail, it was forced to ask the server for the messages again. Minutes of synching later and I'm back up to speed. I've turned local message storage back on again, because I doubt I can live without it, but it might help solve someone else's problems. -
Ibook not starting Mac OS X...keeps freezing up and asking to be rebooted
Hi,
Having trouble since I installed the latest OSX Update in that the iBook G4 gets to the opening gray screen (with the spinning wheel) and then feezes with a message saying "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Saturday, Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
Restarting or rebooting does not help. Neither does trying to boot up in Safe Mode. Neither does running fsck seem to do anything (it runs but says that the HD is ok).
I'm a little screwed because I left my OSX disk and other software on CD-Rom at home in Canada while I'm on an extended stay in Europe. In other words I don't have the disk to run Disk Utility from startup. Any suggestions? Can I download anything on another computer, and burn a startup disk of some sort. Or do I need to get somebody to break into my apartment and mail me over the disks? Or am I beyond repair and have to take her in to a German reseller for service?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)An Apple Authorized Service Provider in Europe should be able to help you out with the correct install disks for your iBook. They may charge you to help out, though... Without some troubleshooting using your disks, it might be difficult to figure out what's wrong with your iBook.

Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.Hardware Monitor is an application that you installed. See its documentation or contact the developer. As for Soundflower, I believe that it's installed by some Ambrosia or Rogue Amoeba products that have to do with audio output. I can't be more specific because I never I install such things myself.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software. -

Why does my Mac keep freezing and applications not responding?!?
Hello everyone, I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 500gb HD, 4gb ram. The problem is that it keeps freezing. I am writing this on my iPhone because my laptop would probably just freeze up if I even attempted to open an application. The problem is that my laptop won't stop freezing up. As soon as I have any application open, it will stop being responsive, give me the beach ball spinning wheel thing, and I'll use command-option-escape to open the force quit menu (because at this point the mouse usually can me moved around the screen but just makes the system get worse) to force quit what ever applications I have open. Then finder will stop responding, and then nothing will work until I do a forced shut down (hold the power button down) and turn it back on again, where the same thing happens within a minute. I tried repairing permissions and doing a P RAM reset, but have had no success with either. Please help, this is ridiculous, I can barely use my laptop and I need it for school. Thanks,

My I Mac keeps freezing, and shutting down apps.
Hello,
I have an I Mac, it keeps freezing, and when I open my applications it will shut them completley. (i.e Chrome keeps shutting down by itself, Skype dissapeared and Gimp is just a question (?) mark now )
I tried restarting the computer on safe mode, and I tried restarting it a couple times, after leaving it off for a couple of minutes. My computer has never been this slow and temperamental since I got it in 07. PLEASE HELP.
Is there a way to clean up my disk, or check erros, or just figure out what is causing my computer to act so slow?
I will gladly appreciate any suggestions from the pros!PLEASE HELP ......

Mac keeps freezing; what steps to take?
Hi,
I am using a Macbook Pro. With 10.5.8 OS.
Over the past few months my mac has gone through stages of freezing when online but eventually spreads to using anything on the Mac will create a freeze (iPlayer desktop, finder, PS, iTunes). I first started by uninstalling Chrome and using Safari instead. This worked for a few weeks. Then Safari stopped working. So I moved to Firefox. This worked for a few months. But low and behold Firefox started freezing the mac again. So now I am using Opera. But it is still freezing, not as bad as usual, but its only a matter of time before it is completely unusable.
When it freezes i get the beach ball but can usually move the cursor. The freeze starts randomly but especially when doing something 'difficult' like watching a video, or opening numerous tabs. Recently it even spread to BBC iPlayer desktop where I could not watch that offline or online as it would freeze the whole mac. It doesn't like iTunes either and wiped that library due to a crash corrupting files.
I have made numerous steps to counteract this such as Verifying and repairing disc permissions, downloading latest Flash (I can't download the absolute latest version as my mac OS doesn't support this). I have a feeling it might just be getting too old.
One last step I am contemplating is wiping it and restoring it to the factory settings. Would this help?
Many thanks for any help anyone can give me.Hi my safari keeps freezing now as well. I have a macbook with intel processor. Not sure what other details you need but I did copy my latest error report which I have pasted below. Any guidance is appreciated.

When i am using the mac. often it will suddenly freeze, only the coloured loading wheel still moving. I will leave it for hours to unfreeze but nothing. The only remedy is to turn it off by the button. Moreover, sometimes when i turn it on it gets stuck at the grey apple screen and i have to turn it off by the button and on again. This can happen up to 10 times until it turns on! What can i do?
Shut down your computer and disconnect all peripherals (keyboard & mouse if pertinent) from your computer. Now reboot.
If the Mac starts up normally, shut it down again and then plug in one of the peripherals (keyboard or mouse first) and start up your computer again. If it does so successfully repeat the process, adding one peripheral at a time until your Mac acts up. At that point, disconnect the last peripheral you added, reboot your Mac and search the peripheral vendor's website for an updated driver.
If no driver exists or the problem remain after installing the new driver, try a different cable or a different port on your Mac.
If none of the above works, again disconnect all peripherals from your Mac, hold down the "shift" key to start up in "Safe Boot" mode.
If the Mac starts up correctly, restart without pressing the "shift" key.
If your computer still does not start up properly, shut it down and restart it while holding down the Apple+Option-P-R keys; keep holding "all 4 keys" down until you hear the startup sound "twice."
If none of the above work Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
(If Disk Utility cannot repair, you will need a stronger utility (3rd party) - Diskwarrior or Techtool PRO)
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
If you are able to reach your desktop take note of how large your hard drive is and how much hard drive space do you have left?
Remove any 3rd party ram.
Reinstall Snow Leopard - This will install a "fresh" copy of Snow Leopard without archiving old system files but leaves the rest of your files in place.
If your computer is still under warranty or you have Apple Care, take full advantage of it by letting tech support deal with your problems. It's what you're paying them for.
Out of warranty - take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. -

my mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step 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.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test 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 steps 1 and 2. -
My mac keeps freezing...How can I uninstall lion?
My mac keeps freezing on me, particularly when Im on safari. The most annoying part is that it happens three or four times in a matter of an hour, and then Im prompted to submit a report that feels like a joke considering that we have yet to see an update for lion solving this issue, and the problem persists. How can I uninstall lion and get macs previous iOS back?
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files. -
My mac keeps freezing then re working ,then slowing down etc what can i do to fix this
my mac book keeps freezing , then is fine again but freezes for about 2 mins then goes back to normal
Go to applications > utilities > activity monitor
Sort them by cpu usage and if there are programs that are taking up a massive amount of cpu, then you should quit those apps. If you are watching videos on the internet (especially youtube videos) that will take up a lot of cpu.
