Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button

Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button. It only causes this after I have opened Firefox, my computer runs fine before opening Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and cleared my personal settings. I have installed future updates (16 and 17) and have run into the same issue. I cannot pull any information on RAM or CPU usage because when it happens it makes my computer unusable. Unfortunately I need to use FF for work and can't. I have tried the different responses on the forums to reduce the amount of RAM and CPU usage with no change in performance.

It installs logic pro but at the end it gives me an installation error. Someone stole my mac osx cd at school so im unable to reinstall or repair osx. In the disk utility it doesnt let me repair my disk. Some help would be much appreciated.

Shut down and reboot holding the Command + S keys. Allow the black screen with white text to fully load, then type fsck -yf and hit return. Wait until you see "Disk has been modified" or "Disk appears to be okay" then type reboot and hit return.

Mac OSX 10.5.8 Installer won't run

I just uninstalled my old version of Adobe Flash Player (deleting caches, preferences, etc (as the instructions say)) and tried to install the most recent version that my OS runs, Flash Player 10.3.183.90. I close all my apps, empty my trash, and even restart my computer but the installer won't run. It just bounces for a minute or so on my dock then just sits there, not opening. I have to force quit it because it says "Application not responding." I also unzipped the .app file that comes in the .dmg and i tried running the Flash Player app that appeared and it also does the exact same thing.
Safari 5.0.6
Mac OSX 10.5.8

1. Try creating another user account and try the installer under that accoiunt. If it works, you need to repair permissions on your account using the Disk Utility.
2. If that doesn't resolve the installer issue for your account, try resetting the PRAM. Reboot holding the Cmd+Option+P+R keys and wait till the "startup chime" sounds three times, then release the keys.

Power Mac G4 MDD OS X installation freezes

Hi, a friend of mine gave me a Power Mac G4 for free and I'm having issues getting an OS on it. It seems to be freezing any time there's lots of Hard Disk activity (typically near the extracting step in the OS X installer). I've tried different combinations of RAM/modules and I've got it set up using DIMMs that passed Memtest and the Apple hardware test CD. Tried the OEM 40GB IBM Drive and a Maxtor 120GB drive. Tried installing both 10.4 and 10.5 minimally (1.9GB for Tiger and 6GB for Leopard). Tried resetting the PRAM, VRAM and PMU. I was able to get Tiger installed once but got greedy and tried wiping/installing Leopard. Haven't been able to get anything on it since. Any ideas before I chuck this out the window? Oh and I tried restoring the installer DMGs to a separate partition and installing from that. DMG copies fine, restoration fails. Oh, and writing zeros to the disk craps out near the end of both hard drives. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Thanks for the reply BDAqua. Successfully wrote zeros to half the drive (20gigs) and tried installing Leopard. It got stuck at the extraction stage again. Trying to install Tiger right now. In the mean time..
1) Assuming 10.4 installs, do you think it's safe to use the system like this? I actually just split the original partition in 2 so I've got the second drive still as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Would setting it as free space prevent the system from ever looking at that part of the drive?
2) I was getting the error "Invalid memory access at %SRR0: 00034870.." with certain memory configurations when I was trying to boot into the AHT cd (meaning I wasn't able to boot into the CD, I didn't run tests on it). However, when I had Tiger working, the machine worked fully populated with RAM and System Profiler recognized all of it. Do you think I should only use RAM that I was able to boot into the AHT CD with or should I go ahead and fill up slots? (ie. could it just be a bug in the AHT CD?)
Thanks again!

HP OfficeJet 4500 and MAC OSX 10.6.8 installation problem

I've recently bought a HP OfficeJet 4500 and I'm having problems with the Macintosh installation.
I'm on Intel Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I connected the printer to my iMac by using the USB cable.
The CD included with the printer is not readable, so I had to download the driver (OJ4500vG510a-f_Mac.dmg) from the HP website.
When I run the installer, the application is not able to recognize the device so no model is displayed in the list; then, I choose to continue the installation without specifying the model but when I have to do the configuration the installer is not able to find the correct device and so the setup procedure fails.
What I want is to use the printer wireless, so I think I should perform the configuration procedure and to specify that I want to use the Wi-Fi connection but I never reach this step because installer fails before.
I have to say that I successfully installed this printer on Windows XP and Windows 7 by downloading the drivers from the HP website and installing them without problems, but I'm not able to do the same thing with my Mac.
Can you help me, please?
What I have to do to get my printer work with my mac?

Hi,
I got the impression you are using the wrong software for your printer.
In order to get aligned, there are 3 sub models of the 4500 series:
HP Officejet 4500 Desktop (G510a) - Provide USB connectivity only. - The driver posted above intended for this model.
HP Officejet 4500 (G510g) - provide USB and Wired ethernet network connection
HP Officejet 4500 Wireless (G510n) - Provide USB and Wireless network connection,
As you mentioned the printer connected to the network, therefore I doubt if the correct driver has been used.
Above you may find a direct download link for both of the models
Simply click the model which identical to the one listed on the front of the printer,
Regards,
Shlomi

Adobe Creative Cloud app, Mac OSX, "The Creative Cloud installation is no longer functioning..."

OS: 10.9.4
For about 2+ weeks I've been getting the following message in the Creative Cloud App:
Download Error
The Creative Cloud installation is no longer working
uninstall and download again from http...
I've searched through various discussions and followed every suggestion I had come across, including:
Uninstalled/reinstalled Creative Cloud
Renamed files in the following directories:
~/Library/Applications support/Adobe/OOBE
/Library/Applications support/Adobe/OOBE
~/Library/Applications support/Adobe/AAMUpdater
/Library/Applications support/Adobe/AAMUpdater
Deleted files in above-listed directories.
Checked all network settings including proxy, DNS, etc.
Logged in as myself, I launched Creative Cloud as root (sudo /path/to/app)
Between each step I uninstalled/reinstalled the Creative Cloud app. The logs (in ~/Library/Logs/) don't show any major issues, other than claiming that a preference file can't be read. I tried deleting all preferences related to ACC and the log continued to show the same message.
Any suggestions outside of the standard list of fixes would be most welcome, at this point I'm ready to cancel my CC subscription, I feel Adobe made a big mistake by changing to this format. When it works, it's great, but when it doesn't it causes loss of productivity and immense frustration.

Tried this with no success. Although, your mention of permissions led me to launching Disk Utility and repairing permissions. I then noticed my hard drive had a failing S.M.A.R.T. status. I swapped out the hard drive and restored from Time Machine backup, repaired permissions, uninstalled Creative Cloud, repaired permissions again and removed all files mentioned in my original post. I then reinstalled and: still get the same dang error! This is ridiculously frustrating.

Tried Installing Flash 10 on mac osX but Flash 9 installs instead

When I try to install the latest version of Flash Player
(ver. 10.0.12.36) on my macbook pro (osX 10.5.3), Flash Player 9
(ver. 9.0.115.0) gets installed instead. I tried uninstalling Flash
Player 9 and then re-installing Flash Player 10 but I still get
Flash Player 9. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks!

Hello,
Flash Player 10.3.183.90 is the last version to support OS X 10.5.8. Go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html and download the 10.3.183.90 archive file. Extract the content and use the file flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg to install Flash Player on OS X 10.5.8.

Mac OSX 10.6.1 Finder Freezing Up

Finder is freezing up on me. It is quite unusual that this is happening
I dont understand what could be causing it. I repaired my permissions and cleared logs and ran some maintenance scripts. It still freezes up. I give it time too like to try and recouperate. still it does this for hours. I even ran a virus scan and nothing viral was found. I am not sure what is going on.. I have just been sending in my error reports and I hope  fixes it.

Greyson,
Did V.K.'s suggestion work for you?
I'm in 10.6.2, and I'm starting to have periodic issues (maybe once or twice a day) with my disk drives (internal, and both external drives) becoming "unavailable", which essentially freezes up all apps.
In the finder, I can open them and drill into the top level of folders, which I assume have been cached somewhere, but going down any further "hangs". On any Volume attached to my system (includes 3 HDDs, and a Flash Drive).
At first I thought it was because I'd just started playing with HardwareGrowler, but I've disabled that and still have the problem. Then I thought my demo of LaunchBar was it, but I disabled that too.
If I CMD-ESC to quit/relaunch finder, all the windows go away, but finder never comes back.
I'll try to do what W.K suggested, and get back to the list with the results...

Mac OSX Player Issue: kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero.

We posted a blog entry trying to investigate the Console.app error log messages that appear when using the Adobe Flash Player on OSX (32bit and 64bit affected, 10.7 Lion, Player version 10.3 and 11.0).
find our Blog entry here: http://www.nanofunk.net/mac-osx-lion-10-7-system-freezes-kernel-iosurface-buffer-allocatio n-size-is-zero-console-message/
The Message that appears is
kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero
To reproduce the issue, use this steps
click on "Clear Display" in Console.app
go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and the error will show up in the console.
Sometimes, this freezes the whole OSX system, with a spinning beachball for at least 20seconds, up to five minutes.
This is inacceptable. We are hoping to hear back from Apple or Adobe ASAP.
Please try to reproduce this on your OSX installation and post the results to this thread.
thanks,
nanofunk.net

As far as I've been able to discover, this bug is specific to WebKit browsers running (Chrome and Safari are based on WebKit). Perhaps it is related to those browsers running plugins (like Flash) and using an IOSurface to pass the rendering data back from the plugin. This issue was constant on my late 2010 MBP and would freeze the machine entirely once a day. Having switched to using Firefox or Opera I no longer see ANY messages for "IOSurface: Buffer allocation size is zero". Thankfully, this also comes without any more freezing when time machine starts up or at any other time.
It looks like there are a lot of changes going on in WebKit relating to IOSurface usage (http://svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/WEBKIT/search?logMessage=iosurface). Hopefully this will be fixed very soon.

Need Mac OSX 10.7 Build server

We bought some new Mac Minis and on one of them I need to have Mac OSX 10.7 running so I installed VMWare Fusion
However, when I go to install the O/S on the VM Image, I can't find a Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion) Installation Disk Image to boot the image to begin the install process.
I can find Update Images but they don't boot the image. I need a .dmg file that will start the install process of Mac OSX 10.7 and Apple isn't allowing me to download an Image (.dmg) file. It just keeps trying to run the install and that doesn't work because the install process is trying to run on the Mac OSX 10.8 machine NOT the VM Image that I'm trying to spin up.
Where can I find a Lion Install Disk Image?

OK - thanks. I understand what I will have to do but I'm not happy about it.
I have 100's of machines that I support and the Macs are always the most troublesome because Apple doesn't understand how IT professionals need to operate. I can't telnet to the Mac to get this to work, I literally have to get on the console on a machine that's across the country to download an image file (using safari) which then I have to copy that image file to a netshare in order to get back to the machine I was working on. I then have to run a second Update on the O/S to get 10.7.5. Instead of simply supplying an image file of the latest O/S, I need to waste a day jumping through hoops doing things "The Apple Way".
I appreciate your attention to this.

Indy freezes on Mac OSX 10.6.3

Any know issues so far with InDesign CS4 running on latest Mac OSX 10.6.3?
A user had informed me that he just upgraded from Leopard 10.5.x to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 today, all other Adobe applications running well, except InDesign.
InDesign launches alright, and even able to create a new document, but once the user clicks on any icon within the document, the Mac beach ball spins forever, user have no options but to force-quit InDesign!
Apparently resetting preferences didn't fix the problem.

This is a good point Bob, If no issues were reported so far on any conflicts between 10.6.3 and InDesign CS4, then it is most likely this particular user need to have a fresh and clean Snow Leopard installation… Thanks
Eugene, user says he updated to latest Indesign version.

This is sometimes caused by Bad Blocks on the Hard Drive.
If 10.7, hold down Command-R at startup, and choose Disk Utility.
If 10.6 or earlier, boot to the Installer/Utilities DVD, answer only the "what language" question and wait for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu.
Select your Hard drive by Make & Model and check the SMART Status (lower right of the right window). Choose "Repair Disk" . This ONLY examines and repairs the Directory area of the drive, but may improve things a bit. If errors cannot be repaired, you may need a stronger tool, or a new drive.

Oracle Data modeler 3.1.0.700 freeze on MAC OSX 10.7.3

Hello,
I was used Data modeler 3.0.x on the same machine with no problems (use SVN+3 active users , atc...)
When I installed version 3.1.0.700 and model migration I have problem with stability of program
With any action, java freeze after a few minutes of using application (no response, 100% core CPU, memory allocation stable).
Freeze was initiated with actions such as import model, commit into repository, working with application (edit table metadata and other action).
Do you anybody have same problem ? Any solution ?
Applikaction use standard lion JDK (installation no con taints packaged JDK).
Thank you

Hello,
I don't have such behavior.
Did you try to run fresh installation of Data Modeler without migrating from previous version?
