Is the Mac set to sleep the drive after 10 minutes or so?
What are the other symptoms with regards to your freeze? Does the screen go dark? Is the clock still running?

My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
Thanks in adavnce for help.

Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
"Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive

Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive.
Tried to reset pram, smc, nvram.
Tried installing new RAM.
Tried installing new hard drive.
You should know that my internal drive is installed in a cheap external case and plugged in a USB 2.0 port because i am waiting for a new hard drive cable.all
Yep all good things happened to me...i don't know if all these problems are linked, ahh and also my trackpad is behaving very erraticaly sometimes, it's like it is possessed by a ghost. My computer is not under warranty anymore so i'd like to avoid a trip to the Apple store but i'm close to doing just that.
Any help appreciated...

It's diagnostic software. It's supposed to help you find problems. I don't think anyone is making any software yet that fixes hardware problems.
That said, the two comments:

would lead me to think it's the logic board. On older MacBook Pro's both the USB I/O ports and the keyboard/trackpad are fed out of an integrated USB controller integrated into the South Bridge I/O controller. On newer models, the USB ports come out of an integrated North/South bridge controller and the keyboard/trackpad are handled by an SMC controller, which itself interfaces with the I/O controller. All of these items are on the logic board, and they're all unrepairable.
...unless of course the "internal drive [that] is installed in a cheap external case" is itself causing the problems. Another thing to try might be a different USB port, if you haven't done so already.
I didn't know the price for Scannerz went up. I could have sworn I only paid 30-some bucks for it. Maybe it was on sale at the time. I don't remember.
In any case, good luck.

MBP will not shut off or restart after installing lion.

MBP will not shut off or restart after installing lion. I tried installing the latest update but since it will not restart the update will not work.

Everything works except it will not shut down or restart so I can't update it.
I run the Adobe master creative suite collection, Microsoft office and countless other software products without a hitch.
After I click on update software then download the apple update for lion it says I have to restart the computer to finnish the install.

NotificationExec pop-up after installing Free Agent Drive Manager

I've just installed the Free Agent Drive Manager for a Maxtor 4 One Touch. Now I'm getting a NotificationExec pop-up after installing Free Agent Drive Manager. I've trashed the drive manager but I can't seem to get rid of the pop up. Any suggestions?

Hi Todd,
That's incompatible software, and from reading other posts, it sounds like even the official uninstaller does not get rid of everything. Do a Spotlight search for file name "NotificationExec" and "Free Agent Drive Manager" and include system and invisible files. Trash the files you find, empty your trash and you should be good to go.

"ORA-12222 TNS no such protocol adapter" When running Forms after installing Portal

We have a Forms 6i (web) application running on 9iAS. This worked fine. But after installing Portal on the same 9iAS, we got the following error when starting the WebForms application:
ORA-12222 TNS no such protocol adapter
Who knows a solution?
Configuration
9IAS v1.0.2.2

Best regards,

This is s SQLNET error.
You can search for it on OTN using the search button.
IT usually means that the tnsnames.ora file was changed. Or that you are now using another tnsnames.ora.

Llustrator crashing when opening just after installing in iMac 10.8.2

Hi, I have problem to open Adobe Illustrator CS6 on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 just after installing it.
I installed an Adobe Design Standard package and tried to open Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Acrobat Pro.
All the programs except for Illustrator could be successfully open. I attempted to reinstall the whole package twice after uninstalling and deleting all Adobe programs, but they showed me the same message such as 'Adobe Illustrator CS6 quit unexpectedly'. I have no idea what the problem is.
I am using a new iMac 21.5 29GHz intel core i5, OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 setting with UK English, and the Adobe Design Standard package is for Korean.
Could you please let me know in which cases make this kind of problem only for Illustrator? Thank you.

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hi,
Right now, you need to have same OS lang setting (for eg. Korean) and installed language for AI Cs6 ( same as OS lang, i.e. Korean in this case) for AI to properly launch.
Please change the OS language to "Korean" and then try launching AI CS6 (assuming it is installed in Korean).
Thanks,

Windows 7 won't load after installing new Hard Drive and Recovery software

HP G72 Notebook PC
xz218UAR
I guess a virus crashed my hard drive so I bought a new one. I installed the new drive and loaded the recovery disks that I also bought from HP. Apparently Windows didn't load properly and it keeps telling me to RELOAD WINDOWS. I've tried starting over from Disk 1 but it's not doing anything different to fix it.
I removed the new hard drive and reinstalled it but it's still doing the same thing.
What am I doing wrong and HOW DO I FIX IT?

Hi,
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

How do you upgrade OS X server 4.0 to another drive after installing on primary drive

I've upgraded OS X Server to version 4.0 after installing the Yosemite OS X. As usual, the server does not work properly after the upgrade. I've installed Yosemite on another boot drive to rebuild the system. I'm trying to upgrade the new install of Yosemite to the Server 4.0 version but when clicking the upgrade button, it just sits there with the wheel spinning. Has anyone seen this and how can I get the copy downloaded again to install version 4.0 of OS X Server?

I appreciate both of your prompt replies. According to the following support page (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107037), I only needed OS X 10.1 or later (more specifically, it says that 10.0.X or earlier cannot be upgraded without erasing). This page was directly referenced by this page (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270) which is on the very post that Ferd referenced ("10.4 Tiger Upgrade: Decision tree+Checklist" at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121773). I can find nothing on official Apple websites that says anything about needing OS X 10.2 to upgrade to 10.4. The bottom line is that most of my harddrive is consumed with my music (approx 15 MB) and there is no convenient way for me to back it up or move it without buying an external hard drive. It just seems absurd to me that in order to use my new $300 iPod that I need to both invest $120 in new software and then another $100-200+ in an external hard drive so that said new software can be installed over my existing data. It's really bad enough that Apple gives you no charger and no case for the iPod, charges you for new software versions, and then makes their new software so incompatible that you have to erase your hard drive just to install it. Exactly why do people love their Macs over their PCs? If I have to buy an external hard drive, why shouldn't I simply take all my data off of my iBook and be done with Macs forever?

GNOME3 is not working well after install the nvidia driver

I changed my graphic device from intel (integrated in i5 sandy bridge) to nvidia (GTX550 Ti).
When I reboot my PC, an error about GNOME failed something was showned.
I ignored it and installed nvidia package using pacman.
After that, I installed new nvidia driver but GNOME is not working properly.
Terminals which I can see when type ctrl + alt + function key are not working either.
This is part of my desktop screenshot.

I have no big issues with gnome3 and nvidia, in case you haven't, make sure your xorg.conf is correct or you can let nvidia make it for you, just backup/delete your current one (if any) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … figuration

Early 2008 Mac Pro won't boot after installing 2nd DVD drive

All,
I purchased a Pioneer DVR-117D from Mac Sales and after installing it in my new refurbished 2008 Mac Pro it won't boot. My MP will boot if I remove the drive. According to the Mac Sales website this drive should work fine in my MP. Any ideas as to why this is happening. I literally just got my MP today and installed the drive. Is it the drive or the Mac Pro. Thank you all.

The drive was set to master, I switched it to CS before I left for work but haven't tried reinstalling it. I will try when I get back and let you know if it worked. Thank you again.

Permissions problems after installing new hard drive

I backed up my old hard drive with SuperDuper!, then installed a new hard drive. When I tried to install my backup on the new hard drive with Disk Utility, it would work fine and then hang. It wouldn't finish, even overnight. So I installed a clean copy of leopard on the new hard drive, and then used Migration Assistant to move everything over from my backup. Worked great, until I actually tried to use the computer. Tons of permissions issues, mail and address book wouldn't run, Skype won't run even after installing an upgraded version, etc. What's weird, is my main account is an administrator account, but logging on as root and trying to remove admin permissions from my main account, the checkbox is greyed out! I also don't have a UID 501 on the system. I'm 502, and my wife's account is 503. I can't fix permissions from the finder, and in certain cases can't get them changed in terminal logged in as root. I don't know how to get my data from my old hard drive (which is running 10.5.1) to my new hard drive (also 10.5.1) Please help me! Thanks.

Hey Shawn,
Have you looked at the permissions with "Get Info"? Are they listed as belonging to "unkown user"?
First of all, see the Apple doc <href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876">Administator user changed to standard.
After you clear that up, you'll probably have to remove the "unkown user" and add your user as the owner of all your folders. During that process, finder will probably crash. At that point, try running <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5670342#5670342>this terminal command described in "mlaster's" second posting.
Good luck!
