Many Freezes since 10.5.7 - only with WLAN!

Hello Forum,
My MBP5.1 (Late 2008) never hat any Problem with 10.5.6 and before. Since I upgraded to 10.5.7 the System freezes in the middle of work. The history:
- 10.5.6 runs absolutely perfect
- upgrade to 10.5.7 with Software-Update: Freezes after a while
- rollback to 10.5.6 with Superduper - again everything fine
- update 10.5.7 in Safe Mode: Freezes
Sometimes it get stuck while booting. In Verbose mode (CMD-V) the last message is:
Airport: Link Up on en1
Next Idea: I disabled wireless. Using Cable-LAN I didn't have any freeze in 3 days exzessive usage. Using wireless again, it started freezing.
Now the shocking part:
Fresh install from DVD without any additional Software: Runs fine. Direct update to 10.5.7: freezes! Looks very much like a serious bug in the WLAN-Drivers, just affecting a few MBPs.
My Macbook Pro:
SNR: W88500RL1GK
SMC-Version: 1.33f8
Boot-ROM-Version: MBP51.0074.B01
Airport Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8D)
Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.35)
(A Coworker - developer - installed Snow Leopard for testing on my Macbook. First it seemed to run fine, after the last update to ..411 it started also with freezes. Same Problem!)
Pls help, I am desperate
Thanks,
Michael

Hi m:
First, I would run software update to bring your computer to a current level (OS X 10.5.8).
I would then trash a preference file (com.apple.soundpref.plist) and restart.

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

What up with all the screen freezes since the updates?

What up with all the screen freezes since the updates?

Sorry to say your installation must have been unsuccessful.
A normal installation would not do this.
Uninstall, run the cleanscript* and try again (maybe your AV is too agressive).

Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

15 inch Mid-2010 MacBook Pro freezing since installing Lion

I've had this problem for a while now. It started a few weeks after I installed Lion in the summer. My MacBook Pro would just freeze without warning and the only thing I can do is a force shutdown. I've checked the logs, and these freezes do not log themselves like other crashes, there is no record of them happening. I have also noticed that Apple has identified that my particular model of MacBook Pro can experience an issue where it may freeze intermittently or stop displaying video, and as such they put out an update to help remedy this, which I have installed and the problem still exists.
The freeze appears to happen application by application. One application may freeze, so I attempt to force quit this, but then the force quit window freezes, and then whatever else I click results in a spinning wheel, forcing me to hold down the power button to restart my Mac. I never had this issue with Snow Leopard, it has only started since I upgraded to Lion.
I have taken it into an Apple store, and they could not indentify any issues since there were no logs of the crashes. They wiped my laptop and suggested I try using it for a while without any of my data on it to see if the freezes still happened - they didn't. He then said not to restore my data from a Time Machine backup as any bugs that may be causing these freezes would also be restored. Therefore, I installed every application manually and only copied over my documents and music manually. For a few months, this fixed the issue, but I have noticed that it has started happening again, more and more frequently just like before.
I've also run the Apple Hardware Test that came with my Mac and it found no issues. I've also reset the SMC and PRAM to no avail.
My specs are:
2.4GHz Intel Core i5
8GB RAM
500GB HDD
Lion 10.7.3
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this issue or knows why it is happening, please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.
Apologies for the long description, I wanted to be a detailed as possible.
Thanks,
Nathan

IMac freezes since 10.4.9 Update, corrupts disk every time

Hi. I would call myself a fairly experienced Mac User (6+ Years Exp, multiple Systems & Laptops, etc.) but my one week old 24'' iMac is making me sick ...
I got the System on Monday and it worked fine till the 10.4.9 Update. That can be coincidence, but maybe not:
It freezed since then 3 times with the same symptoms:
- Mouse can be moved, but the rest is not accessable - ball spins shortly after the freeze and stays that way
- keyboard can't do a force quit
- machine pings but can't be sshed from outside
This would be okay, if there wasn't this bad pattern:
When forced to reboot 2 times it rebooted, one time it didn't
But all times the boot disk couldn't be fixed with disk repair!!!
Disk-repair showed two different errors:
- keysize invalid ("Schlüssellänge ungültig")
- Volume Header damaged ("Volume Header beschädigt")
The last one apperead two times and one time the disk wasn't bootable since it would only mount read only (checked with verbose booting)
I got the first one repaired finally by mounting the system in Target Mode on my macbook and running fsck_hfs with rebuilding the b-tree.
My trust in "stable" working on this iMac is down to zero. I will now try to reinstall the system the 4th time and then stay with the 10.4.8 version until the error happens again ... then I guess its time for apple care.
(BTW: Yes, I ran Hardware Test in extended Mode about 10 times - nothing. Smart Status of the drive is okay. No Extensions installed, just plain software with office and Adobe Programms)
Strangely, this post looks somehow similar: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=891369&tstart=0
Any other ideas? Thank you for your time in advance...

MAIL FREEZING SINCE INSTALLING YOSEMITE ON MACBOOK PRO 2011

Problems with mail program freezing since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro 2011

When Mail freezes, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air. It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low. I stopped and tried to delete LR files. I couldn't do it. I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR. I contacted Apple. They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them. I have several back-ups. Thanks - Arthur

This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

ITunes freezes for minutes at a time with iPad

This is making me crazy! I sync my iPhone('s) and iPods with this computer, and while iTunes may slow down for a few seconds while the iPhone or iPod mounts, it is responsive almost immediately. Update! Now my iPhone freezes iTunes too... this blows!
With the iPad however, iTunes freezes for up to 2 minute with the spinning beach ball and shows up as unresponsive (duh!) in activity monitor. It finally starts synching and while doing so occasionally becomes unresponsive, but the synching finally finishes succesfully... eventually. I have removed and reinstalled iTunes 9.1 according to apple support protocols, but no real change. I have bit rate convert enabled, but it happens regardless of whether or not music is being added or changed. Have repaired permissions, disconnected various other USB devices, but no help so far... Anybody?

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?
Stephanie

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

Hi!
I restarted the computer, but the same issue happens again. When I move my mouse over some object or tool, it doesn’t come active at all (only some of the tools works) When I try to change “site properties”, I can’t choose tablet or phone mode or even I can’t select the checkboxes, only thing what I can do is change the numbers (high and width) . After all the main problem is that I can’t select some of the items or functions by mouse, but only by the keyboard.

Just found Ipad Nano in Big Island Hawaii. Trying to find the owner to return it back. Tell me what is the color, how many songs and your name(its personalize with a name).

I only wish that when I called Apple, they would match the serial number with the owner and give me the contact
Hopefully you left Apple your contact info (name phone #, email address).
Apple would simply pass your contact to the last registered owner. It would be up to the owner to contact you. As Dave mentioned, Apple will not give you any info (except may to tell you it was or was not registered, but not to who). Turn it on once in a while and maybe they have activated FindMyiPad and a message will pop up (don't need to be logged onto the iPad to a message).

Many Freezes since 10.5.7 - only with WLAN!
