Macbook (black) first edition hangs when trying to read Serial-ATA

My Macbook recently died on me. In thinking it was my hard disc I have installed a new one. It did find it briefly when trying to install Snow Leopard again this failed since it could not communicate with the hard disc. Now I am stuck, using the System Profiler it just hangs when trying to read the Serial-ATA device tree.
Any idea of what is wrong and if it is worth repairing it?
with kind regards,
Christian

Turns out that the brand new Seagate that I got was faulty. Have now installed yet another drive and this seems to have done the trick.

Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when trying to access SFTP site (Mac)

Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when trying to access an SFTP site - or at least I think that SFTP could be the reason.
Beachball forever....
It works fine when trying to access other sites.
The one addity is that when I go into "Manage Sites" and test it, it connects fine.
I am running OSX 10.8.2. I upgraded from 10.7 to see if this problem would go away.

When CS6 first released, some people experienced problems with the FTP feature. A critical update was released which addressed these issues. Did you install it?

Lenovo Vibe X2 keeps hanging when trying to pullup the contacts or when opening the SMS function !

Have been using the Vibe X2 since 2 months. Phone keeps hanging when trying to pullup the contacts or when opening the SMS function. Terribly dissatisfied with the functioning.

Solved, I found the option there:
Contacts - local menu - More features and settings - More display options - Matching digits of number - 7 digits
Works great now,

TS1398 my network but just hangs when trying to connect? I've have reset the settings and all sorts? My iPhone can connect fine? Any advise would be great!

My iPad can see my network but just hangs when trying to connect? I've reset the settings and all sorts? My iPhone can connect fine? Any advise would be great!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Aperture 3.5.1 on OS X 10.9.2 hangs when trying to update the backup

Aperture 3.5.1 on OS X 10.9.2 hangs when trying to update the backup. I get the rotating beach ball cursor for hours but not get the confirmation dialog known from 3.4.2 aksing whether I really want to back up.
On old Mac Mini with OS X 10.6.8 and Aperture 3.4.2 there was no such issue.

Creating a new vault and populating it always works but then turning around and updating that vault hangs? The drive is formatted OS X Extended, correct?
That is strange. Before abandoning vaults, they should and do work in 3.5.1, I'd try this
Run a library repair on the library. I always do this now as it seems to cut down and hangs when updating a vault.
Before starting the vault update open the Aperture activity window Aperture->Window->Show Activity.
Now do the update. I can't give you anything specific to look for, just try to get an idea of where the hang is happening (if it happens after the repair).
As for rsync, it should work OK but keep in mind as a lot of the data now in 3.5 is in database files any change to Aperture will result in reync seeing a lot of files has having been changed so I'm not sure now much of a savings that will be over just copying the library. To be honest I've never tried rsync on an Aperture library so this may not be an issue but something to keep in mind. BTW do you have much rsync experience? It can be a bit of a bear to setup if you're not familiar with it.
Another option is to look at one of the cloning programs Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They have the ability to make clones and then update only the changes since the last clone operation. In reality, I believe one or both actually use rsyn as the backend but give you a much nicer way to set it up and schedule it.

Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save PDF files

Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save some PDF files, after opening or after commenting. Applies for any of the Save options. "Watch" then "spinning beach ball" appear and application is indicated as "not responding." Mac OS Preview has no problem with the same files. Files can be displayed with Acrobat, just not saved. I would prefer to use Acrobat's commenting tools to mark up the document.

The sound input going to the mic is not going to pipe through the speakers like that. It doesn't do it because it would cause a feedback loop on itself. The mic input will take sound and output it to a program or to another pathway (like a VoIP or Facetime call, etc.) but it won't behave like a Karaoke machine if that's what you're thinking.

My G3 is Hanging when trying to load Tiger

My G3 is hanging when trying to load up tiger. It gets all the way up the progress bar and doesn't go any further? Any suggestions? Can I just erase my hard drive and start over. It's a computer that I'm trying to upgrade for my kids so there is really nothing important on the hard drive at this point. I can't even get to disk utility to do this.

Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements for Tiger? [Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger system requirements|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301341] Note, these really are minimum and Tiger will run a lot better with more, especially RAM. Tiger on a 300MHz will probably be quite slow.
Some B&W G3s do not respond well to larger drives and the best terms is "flaky". These are the Rev. 1 G3s. You can post in the G3 forum for more information about this. See Grant's comments in [this discussion|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7203272&#7203272]
The firmware should have been updated on your computer before any OSX install but I'd make sure just in case [Mac OS X: Available firmware updates for upgrading from OS9 to OSX|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117]

Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iphone backup.

Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iPhone backup. The iTunes software becomes unusable and unresponsive after entering correct password (only set up today) All i want to do is backup my iPhone before trying update to the latest ios. I have tried uninstalling all Apple software and re-installing, all unsuccessfully - still have the same problem! Essentially i have to use ctr+alt+del to even close the iTunes program, so I'm assuming there must be some sort of corruption with the encryption / password setup - neither of which have been used at all, all previous backups are on iCloud and don't have encryption. I obviously don't want to attempt a backup with these sort of issues occurring as i don't think i could trust it. Can anyone suggest a way to fix the problem, Ive tried googling all afternoon without any success - most answers I can find relate to people who have lost their passwords but don't have the software issues i am having.

Further to the issue - i thought I'd try and run an encrypted backup for fun (since that's the only option available atm) and the backup hangs as well - in fact it doesn't even technically start other than saying its backing up. The progress bar never moves at all?

LabView hangs when trying to load the same VI with a different user logged onto Win2k

When 'User A' is logged onto Win2k, a particular VI loads and runs fine. When 'User B' logs onto the same Win2k box, LabView hangs when trying to load the VI.
I'm also not seeing the setup channels in the Data Neighborhood in MAX when logged on as 'User B'. I tried loading the configuration when logged on as 'User B' that I think is being used for 'User A', but nothing happens.
Where are the configuration files (of whatever type) that tell LabView which user is logged on?
Thank you!

There are no configuration files that tells LabVIEW what users are logged on. It is Win2K permissions settings that allow different users access to different folders and applications. Try changing the permissions for the LabVIEW folder and see if that doesn't fix your problem.

RH 11 hangs when trying to compile parallel projects.

I'm using RH11, HTML Help. Help is compiled in automatic build environment using command prompt. RH hangs when trying to compile parallel projects in different sessions.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the quick response. Here are a few more information:
We are using RH in a build server environment, not the UI, but the RHCL compiler directly. When RH is invoked, each compiler runs in its own process.
I would assume that command prompt compilation in a build server environment is fairly common in SW engineering.
I should also mention that this process worked perfectly fine with RH9. Since we upgraded to RH11 recently, the build generation process hangs directly after issuing the RH command prompt. The strange thing is that the hang-up occurs frequently, but not all the time. There are no error messages whatsoever that could give us a hint about the reason for this error.
We suspect that Adobe has changed their sign-in process because the process stops at such an early stage.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
