Midi hang / freeze

I was wondering if anyone have similar problems: I experience some problems with MS 3.0.2. I have a new 13 inch MBP 2.4/i5/8gb/ram.
I am using Nexus 2, EZKeyz grand piano and Omnisphere.
Sometimes midi freeze / hang occurs. The CPU is typical around 60%, and the RAM usage between 60-70%.
When this happens, the sound freezes, and there is no midi respons. Until suddenly, the lost tones and midi are playing all at once. Along with the frozen audio on full PA speaker...And then everything is back in business again.. I think the guys I am playing with is just about to kill me. So I would really much appreciate some help.
I got a feeling that trigging the freezed tone fast several times has an effect to overcome the hangup. It is almost like a stucked pipe. After some pressure, the water suddenly breaks thru..
A patch often contains a couple of Nexus 2 and one Omnisphere. Buffer size is 256.
Why do I experience this? Do I have to be more gentle on ram-usage? Is 60% cpu just to much? Are the plugs to heavy in some secret way?
Thanks,
Sir AM

We're having the same issue. We use two instances of Mainstage in our live worship setting. We have a Yamaha digital piano for one and an Akai MPK series midi controller on the other. The biggest issue is with the one on the Yamaha, but it is running a lot more stuff (Omnisphere and various plugins).
It generally freezes randomly and just hangs on the note. Releasing keys, pedals, pressing new keys, nothing fixes it. The spacebar is the only thing that will fix it, and it is an abrupt release that really kills the moment. It's not a set time frame that it freezes for, it usually freezes until you press the space bar. I think sometimes it will release itself after a minute or so, but it's not a quick glitch. I'll run the Activity Monitor alongside it next time, in hopes that I can capture some data.

My Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) freezes or is slow to login

Hi, so this issue has occured for a while, but my Macbook Pro 13-inch Mid-2012 freezes occasionally on my login screen. A couple of things happen when it does this.
Either it freezes and there is no blinking cursor in the password box and I can't move the trackpad/if I do move the trackpad it just turns into a spinning beach ball for 20 seconds and then it finally allows me to log in. When I log in, for a few minutes everything on my computer is sluggish, for example going to my launchpad takes time and opening up applications takes time.
Or, it will do all of what I just stated above but it is preceded by a sound as if it were booting up from shut down (that mechanical disk sound that always happens right when you press the power button to boot up the computer) and then following this, the screen is brightened a lot and there is a white loading bar at the bottom of the screen towards the middle. The loading bar is like 15 or so transluscent white horizontal lines that become solid white to indicate loading. This may take a few seconds and then it does exactly what I stated in the previous paragraph.
This issue has happened for a while, and I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help! It's frustrationg to have to take 30 or more seconds to wake up my computer and begin using it.
I am running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on a Macbook Pro 13-inch (Mid 2012) with 4 GB of RAM and 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor.

When I log in, for a few minutes everything on my computer is sluggish, for example going to my launchpad takes time and opening up applications takes time.
User Tip: Why is my computer slow?
What to do when your computer is too slow
Speeding up your Mac
It's frustrationg to have to take 30 or more seconds to wake up my computer and begin using it.
Check your System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. Get rid of and/or delete all that you do not need or want.
==================
If you found no solutions to your problem(s) listed in the various Knowledge Base Articles see if the following suggestions are of any help:
Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices/peripherals from your computer.
Step 1: Restart into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key during startup. The comp will run a complete & lengthy file system check, then start up w/only the required kernel extensions & w/o running any Startup items that you installed.
If you are running OS 10.4 it will also perform some font finagling.
Try starting up normally again. If you are still stalling, restart in Safe Mode & move on to Step 2...........
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Step 2: Open Library>Startup items folder-the *root* level Library, not the one in your user name folder.
Look for potentially problematic 3rd party items such as virus scanning software components, etc. Remove 1 or more items to a location outside the Library folder, such as the Desktop, then restart normally & see if your Mac stalls. It it does, try removing all the items in the Startup items folder & restart. If all’s now well, place the items back into the Startup items folder 1 by 1, restarting each time you put one back. If and/or when the stall resurfaces, you just identified the faulty component.
If the above does not work, then it’s time to move on to Step 3.................
Step 3: WARNING-This step can be tedious-removing .plist files from the /Library/Preferences folder.
Remove the entire Preferences folder from the Library folder on your startup drive then place the files back 1 by 1 until you see the problem return. *The Mac will automatically create a new Preferences folder in the Library folder*
Alternatively, you can take half of the items out (all non-Apple .plist file, for example), restart to see if your Mac stalls, then move to a smaller set of items, repeating the process until the culprit is found.
Or you can use Preferential Treatment which is a *FREE* utility that does all the work for you.
Hang in there & good luck!!!!

The "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem that existed in all versions of Firefox 3.6 persists in Firefox 4.0

Starting on April 14, 2011, I tried installing Firefox 4.0, which I downloaded from the Mozilla site. The first couple of times I tried to install it, it corrupted Firefox file places.sqlite. I know this because the install renamed the file to places.sqlite.corrupt. Luckily, I had recent backups. My previous installed versions were 3.5.18, which I had been using up to this time, and 3.6.16. I tried installing 4.0 with 3.6.16 installed, which I installed only for the sake of installing 4.0, and with no previous version installed and got the same bad results. I finally got a "successful" install on April 16, 2011, with no previous version installed.
Early on I discovered that Firefox 4.0 hangs (Firefox not responding) when left to idle for exactly 5 minutes (I timed it several times after immediately starting Firefox), pegging a constant 50% of the CPU when it hangs. I left it in a hanging state for up to half an hour, but nothing changed. This problem existed for all versions of Firefox 3.6, which is why I didn't install version 3.6.16 until I was ready to install version 4.0. I never kept any version of Firefox 3.6 installed for more than a couple of hours because of this problem. I need to be able to let Firefox stay idle for long periods of time -- certainly for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds -- without having it hang, and I was able to do that with all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6. It's incomprehensible that Firefox 4.0 has to always hang if it's inactive for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds, and it's incomprehensible that this problem has been present and persistent since version 3.6 was introduced. To believe that 4 minutes and 59 seconds is sufficient idle time for a browser is absurd. This was never an issue with any version of Firefox prior to version 3.6, this was never an issue with Netscape, and it's not an issue with IE 8.
There are 2 other problems related to the hanging problem. If the browser and the bookmarks library are both open and the browser is closed normally, the bookmarks library remains open. After being left idle for exactly 5 minutes, the bookmarks library hangs, pegging a constant 50% of the CPU. If Firefox 4.0 is restarted before the 5 minute idle limit, it starts successfully. If an attempt is made to restart it after the 5 minute idle limit, it won't start. If the bookmarks library is left open for less than 5 minutes after the browser is closed, it can be closed successfully. In all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6, the bookmarks library automatically closed when the browser was closed. The other related problem is that Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU without hanging even while it is being used and even if the only thing open is the home page, which in my case is google.com. Firefox can be used while this is happening, but it is worrisome and shouldn't be happening. Normally, Firefox 4.0 uses no CPU when it is left to idle within the 5 minute idle limit.
Firefox 4.0 has not crashed on its own yet, so I've had no crash reports to send to Mozilla, but because I've had to use the "End Now" button on the Microsoft unresponsive program window numerous times to terminate it when it hangs, numerous Microsoft Windows dump reports have been generated, all of which I've sent to Microsoft.
The last fully working version of Firefox I had was 3.5.18. Unfortunately, I don't have the installer for that version and Mozilla doesn't make it available anymore. Also, it looks like version 4.0 altered the places.sqlite file such that I might not be able to go back to version 3.5.18 even if I could. If I could reinstall version 3.5.18 and get it to work with the altered places.sqlite file, I would, but it is outdated and no longer supported by Mozilla, and I only want to use up-to-date and supported software.
The hanging problem is totally intolerable and unacceptable. If I can't get a version of Firefox 4.0 anytime soon that doesn't hang after being idle for just 5 minutes (why 5 minutes???) or for any limited amount of time, I'll have to install and use Google Chrome as a permanent replacement for Firefox. (If I do have to replace Firefox with Google Chrome, how can I get my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links to open in Google Chrome when I click on them?) Based on other user feedback regarding this problem dating back to the very first Firefox 3.6 version, Mozilla has had ample time to resolve it. I have found other problems with Firefox 4.0, but I'm not going to bother telling Mozilla about them because if the hanging problem isn't resolved soon, I'll have to stop using Firefox permanently. I can't and won't tolerate the hanging problem. I have been using Firefox exclusively for many years, but my disappointment with it has been growing since version 3.6 was introduced and my patience has run out.
I would appreciate Mozilla letting me know within a week of this posting if they can't or won't fix the Firefox 4.0 hanging problem. If I don't receive a substantive response to this problem within a week, I'm going to have to abandon Firefox permanently and switch to Google Chrome. I'm also going to leave a negative review of Firefox 4.0 on CNET to warn other potential users of the hanging problem.
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition 32-bit SP3 on a Dell XPS 400 desktop computer. I have an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 3.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 RAM @ 265MHz, RADEON X300 SE 128MB HyperMemory, and 190GB of free space on my hard drive. I am using COMODO as my firewall and Avira AntiVir as my anti-virus software. I am also using WinPatrol and Secunia PSI. My ISP is AT&T. My download speed averages 2.5 Mbps, and my upload speed averages 0.65 Mbps. All of my software is up to date, thanks to Secunia PSI and CNET TechTracker, and my computer is free from infection.

Another aspect of the Firefox 4.0 "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem has emerged. I have found that on the common occurrence when Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU while idling within the 5 minute idle limit and I close it normally, it disappears from the Task Bar but continues to run and continues to peg a constant 50% of the CPU. I tried restarting Firefox 4.0 and got the following message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Before Firefox can be restarted, the existing Firefox process must be killed via the Task Manager or Process Explorer (I use the latter), after which a Microsoft Windows dump report is immediately generated. I always allow the dump to be sent to Microsoft.
The three big questions that have gone unanswered by Mozilla are 1) why did the hanging problem start with the very first release of Firefox 3.6, 2) why was the problem allowed to continue on up to and through Firefox 4.0, and 3) why hasn't Mozilla fixed the problem yet? And what is the significance of the 5 minute idle limit? Do Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 try to launch something when the browser and/or the bookmarks library have been idle for exactly 5 minutes? Maybe it's a problem with the number and/or type of plugins and extensions and/or the number of bookmarks. Maybe Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 work just fine if there are few to no plugins, extensions, and bookmarks, but that doesn't realistically accommodate users. Whatever the cause of the problem, Mozilla should have had a handle on it by now.
If anyone from Mozilla Support is reading this post, please let me know if it is possible to roll back Firefox 4.0 to Firefox 3.5.18. If it is possible, how do I do it, and where can I get the installer for Firefox 3.5.18? If I can reinstall it, I'll use it until Secunia Software Inspector informs me that it is insecure and no longer safe to use. At that point (maybe much sooner), I'll switch to Google Chrome exclusively because I don't want to use outdated software that is insecure and because I don't believe that Mozilla intends to fix the hanging problem and is willing to lose users over it. I certainly don't want to use software like Firefox 4.0 that has such an impactful problem. If I do have to abandon Firefox, how can I click on Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links and get them to open in Google Chrome?

Issues with Quark Xpress Hang/Freeze when focus is shifted to anything else

I've been working on this issue since the 28th of Dec.
I've been in contact with Quark. They're still examining crash log.
I thought I'd share what is on my plate in hopes others might have had, and solved similar experience.
This message will be verbose in hope of giving the uber-guru answers to questions in advance of their being asked.
First portion will contain a log of actions taken and results there of.
Second will be the typical Quark Crash log I've been getting when the application is quit.
I will mention as well that I've received a clean bill of health from TechToolPro, DiskWarrior, etceteras, as well as Passed the tests from Apple Hardware Tests.
Let me know if I can provide any additional info
Log of Actions
Installation of new Quark, up to 6.5 only.
Completed at 5:27pm
Launching Quark under New User at 5:28
Launch successful.
Created one file. Saved file, selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
Quark still operating. added text, saved, and closed document.
selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
Quark still operating.
Manually quit quark from application menu at 5:33.
Application successfully "quit" without "crashing"

Launched quark via double-click of previously saved file.
added text, saved, selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
Quark still operating.
selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
Quark still operating.
quit quark from cmd-tab cmd-q method causes "unexpected crash"
Ran several similar scenarios, with this as conclusion:
Launching quark from double click of application, creation of new document, saving, and quitting in ANY fashion allows safe quit
Launching Quark, opening from save/open dialog box an existing document, then quit with or without edit, using cmd-tab cmd-q allows safe quit
Double-clicking existing document to launch Quark, then closing document after edit and save or immediately, quark Unexp. Crash occurs with Cmd-Tab Cmd-Q every time.
Double-clicking existing documents to launch Quark, then closing document after edit and save, then create new document, with save and close, quark Unexp. Crash occurs with Cmd-Tab Cmd-Q every time.
Launching of Quark 6.50 under base user
Launching Quark, opening from save/open dialog box an existing document, then quit with or without edit, using cmd-tab cmd-q allows safe quit
Double-clicking existing document to launch Quark, then closing document after edit and save or immediately, quark Unexp. Crash occurs with Cmd-Tab Cmd-Q every time.
Double-clicking existing documents to launch Quark, then closing document after edit and save, then create new document, with save and close, quark Unexp. Crash occurs with Cmd-Tab Cmd-Q every time.
Launching Quark, creating file, saving, selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
Quark hangs/freezes until force-quit
it seems there are two issues at hand.
unexpected crashes occur with cmd-tab cmd-q in either Base or New user logins when quark launch was initiated by double-click of file from finder.
and
unexplained application hangs/freezes when under base user.

Should I buy an enclosure for my HD and see if I can get it going externally? Would that be the best way to see if it is the drive and not the cable? An enclosure is cheaper than buying a new SATA cable, so I'm hoping that's where I can start.
Yes. See if the HDD will boot the MBP via a USB connection. You should probably have an external HDD for backups or a possible replacement of your boot drive.
Ciao.

Bridge CC hangs/freezes with AE animation presets.

Does anyone else have the issue of Bridge CC hanging/freezing when an AE animation preset is selected in Bridge? This happens whether I Browse Presets from AE or I attempt to navigate to the presets folder directly through Bridge CC.
I have uninstalled and re-installed both programs, with no success. I can still apply an animation preset to a layer from the presets panel in AE, but of course there is no preview, so this is a bit frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

No experience with AE but if one set up does work and the other not it is likely the problem of that one set up.
Uninstall and reinstall without using Adobe cleaner tool is rarely solving problems because existing prefs and cache often keeps the same.
The central cache is by default installed in the user library caches folder. When in real trouble I always manual delete this cache file, together with the Bridge plist file and restart Bridge holdong down option key and reset prefs.
This provides an almost new install with factory defaults.
Be aware that per OSX 10.7 the user library is hidden, use menu Go with option to reveal)
User / library / caches / Adobe/ Bridge CC : inhere a plug in and a folder called cache. Drag both outside the user library (trash or back up)
User / library / preferences / com.adobe.Bridge6.plist (drag to the trash)
restart Bridge holding down option and choose refresh prefs, then try again.
You need to reset your custom settings and sometimes reset the custom workspace and since you dumped the cache it first needs time to recache your content.

Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
Greetings
Erik-Jan Vriens

Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

HELP: iTunes 6 unable to sync songs with ipod - hangs freezes crashes

Hi,
This has been posted before, but a search of 500 messages have turned up no solutions. Anyone who has any idea of a solution please help.
PROBLEM:
iTunes 6 and ipod 5th gen unable to sync songs or manually move more than 50 songs at a time to ipod. It hangs / freezes / crashes when updating the ipod. It will stop at 50 songs, 100 songs, sometimes even 2200 songs - out of 8000.
The "Beachball of death" comes on, and there is no way to force quit or stop the now frozen update. The only thing that gets a response is pulling the ipod from the dock or powering the computer down manually.
TRIED:
1. Repair permissions
2. Update ipod with latest ipod update software
3. Restore ipod " " " " '
4. Used Activity Monitor to see where program hangs - no added info, it will stop randomly at different songs, and next time around it will pick another son to hang / freeze at
5. uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible" in Energy Preferences pane
I am at my wits end with this..... will try anything.... even Voodoo at this point as long as you tell me it worked for you!
Anyone ever solved this long standing problem (which seems to be present with iTunes 7 as well) ?
Thanks !

27" iMac startup hangs freezes

I have a 27" iMac and am having trouble starting up. I get the startup chime but the startup hangs or freezes and the iMac tries to restart again after a little while.
So I tried starting up from a Techtools CD in the external drive (there is no internal CD drive on the iMac). Unfortunately the iMac would not start from the CD and the CD is now stuck in the external drive. I was able to eject the CD by holding down the mouse button or trackpad while restarting. I tried starting up from an OS X 10.6.3 install DVD but it didn't seem to read it while holding down the C key at startup.
I tried a PRAM zap (holding down the Option + Cmd + P + R keys for two or three chimes) but the startup still hangs freezes.
I tried starting up holding down Cmd + S to boot Unix but I don't really know Unix so only entered exit.
I tried starting up holding down Cmd + R which I think is the recovery system but the startup still got stuck.
Holding down the Shift key while starting up brings up the "safe mode" and a grey bar which didn't fill before it disappeared and the startup froze.
Holding down the Option key while starting up brought up the hard drive to select as the startup disk but startup still hung.
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me quickly.
I get the startup chime when the iMac starts up, the little daisy goes around a few times but then gets stuck. The iMac will shut itself down and continue to try to restart.
Holding down Shift during startup brings up the safe mode grey bar on the bottom of the screen but this fills only to about one-third before the startup freezes.
I tried starting up holding down the C key with a OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) install DVD in an external CD/DVD drive but just as you said, it would not boot from that.
I tried holding down the D key at startup to perform the Apple Hardware Test. Even the extended test did not detect any hardware problems.
Holding Cmd + R during startup would not start the recovery mode for me. However, holding Option down at startup did give me the choice of the Recovery 10.8.2 partition. Unfortunately, this froze as it was starting up too.
So I tried your suggestion of holding down Opt + Cmd + R to boot from Apple's remote servers. This started up but even then froze too.
I think you might be right that it could be a logic board problem. So I will take it in for repair.
Thanks Ralph, I much appreciate your help with this.

Mac pro 5,1 / 10.8.2 / 10.0.7 - while working in fcx and the program and the system hangs (freezing)

mac pro 5,1 / 10.8.2 / 10.0.7 - while working in fcx and the program and the system hangs (freezing). Only moves the mouse pointer. In addition to disconnecting from the mains, nothing helps! what to do?

Yes, it would if you ran it on the new MBP which is the reason I am saying install rather then clone.
If you clone then you are only getting the same code as the old MBP which probably will not have the correct drivers.

It seems that my firefox hangs/freeze when I'm playing youtube vids, unable to surf at all. When i check task manager it seems to be a plugin container.exe problem? Can someone help me pls..

My firefox sometimes totally hangs/freezes when i try to replay a youtube video. I click the play button but the whole firefox juz hangs. When i try to end task it, i noticed a firefox "plugin container.exe" process.. So i figure it might be a plugin problem? I hope someone can help me with this..
Its getting very irritating and i love using firefox for web surfing.
Thanks in advance for ur help

YouTube videos use the Flash plugin. You can test your Flash plugin and see what version is installed by going to [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Flash Player test page]. To update Flash to the latest version, see [[Managing the Flash plugin]].
Starting in Firefox 3.6.4, Flash is loaded in a separate plugin-container process. For the background, see the articles [[What is plugin-container]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins Plugin-container and out-of-process plugins (MozillaZine KB)].
If Firefox hangs when playing Flash videos at YouTube, it could be a video driver issue, Try turning off hardware acceleration in your [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player display settings] (visit any page that uses Flash, such as [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's test page], then right-click the Flash animation, select Settings, and uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration" on the Display panel). ...More information here:

IMovie11 hangs, freezes while generating thumbnails

Often after importing MiniDV tapes using iMovie11 the progress bar for generating thumbnails gets to a certain point and then stops. It will remain this way for over a day unless I Force Quit the application.
The event directory and thumbnail directory of the imported tape do not show any recently created files after a while.
A search on the internet revealed one workaround - delete any zero-byte DV files that iMovie creates and reload iMovie.This worked for a couple of tapes but now I am stuck while importing other tapes.
I am not using Stabilization.
As of this writing, I may have narrowed the problem down to the number of DV files that iMovie creates. For some reason, with those other tapes, it creates almost 2000 such files for a simple 90-minute tape. When I delete over a 1000 of the smallest DV files iMovie will complete the generation of thumbnails.
I have not yet tested what happens if I delete over a 1000 of the largest DV files.
If I import the same tape twice, the two imports will produce a different number of DV files, the difference is in the hundreds but both data sets are still too large for iMovie11 to generate thumbnails from.
I have tried using two different camcorders for importing those other tapes without positive results.
I have a new low-end Mac Pro with the OS present as of Oct of last year (when I bought the computer), 8GB of RAM, 600MB of free disk space, and I use a Firewire adapter to convert the 400 mbps connection coming out of the camcorders to the 800 mbps connection integral to my Mac Pro.
I have tried powering down and back up to remove variables involving the OS and Firewire interface.
I have no other movie projects or events present in iMovie when I conduct my imports.
How do I get iMovie11 to stop hanging, freezing while it generates thumbnails?
Thank you.

Absolutely has to be a bug. This isn't a setting or configuration problem. It might even be a Snow Leopard problem. I had the same problems with A2.1.4 on SL as I do with version A3.0.1. Export hangs seem to happen on images that came from my A2 library that was imported into A3 but originally adjusted in A2. These images were imported from scanned TIFF files. If the adjustment mechanism was flawed in prior Aperture versions then Apple needs to create and distribute a utility that converts these images into something that A3 can use.
I will have to revert to A2 running on Leopard until Apple can get this fixed. If I cannot export, there is no point in running the software. On this discussion thread, we are just trying to fly by flapping our arms.

?Between a hard rock and a hard place!? Because my Creative MediaSource5 is a bit old? And I am having problems with it, for that reason I want to upgrade it to the next version 5.0.38, BUT.. of course.. the ?upgrade itself? hangs every time I?ve done it's. so? No upgrade J

?2- Well, I have been trying again to transfer songs to my Zen and I have NOT noticed any improvements with the upgrades... I have never seen my system misbehave so bad with any other applications... SOMETHING is making my computer act in such a weird way. Example. click on a Creative Icon... And it does not open until 0 seconds later. On the CMedia Explorer.... It is so erratic... click on Icon and the "sand clock" pointer goes on for ever... I keep getting all kinds of weird errors. How about you? Do your applications work ok? Is your system stabable (when using creative apps)?Message Edited by em2253 on 0-0-2007:30 AM

MacBook Pro (mid 2007) freezes after upgrade to Mavericks

Hello,
After the upgrade to Mavericks my MacBook Pro (mid 2007) freezes after a couple of minutes of usage - after successful install and the use of some apps. Not bad enough the system is now always crashing if I try to boot. PM reset didn't help. Booting from the restore partition was possible, but I decided to go back to a working backup of 10.8.4 made a minute before I tried to upgrade. Why 10.8.4? Because 10.8.5 causes the strange problem that the Mac freezes after wake up from sleep.
Any suggestions?
Anyone else having this problem?
Kind regards

I did a clean install of mavericks on my MBP (mid 2007) and still it freezes at arbitary points. The very first time when it booted up it worked for longer and when I started to apply updates from app store, it froze. Successive boots froze much early, like within few seconds of booting.
I am going to check this by booting in safe mode. I am losing hope with mavericks on my MBP (mid 2007) and will switch back to snow leopard (10.6.8) which was working seemless.
I checked so many things, based on other posts to make sure if my MBP is really Mid 2007. IT IS.
Rgds,
Raj.

C Program Hang-Freeze in usleep

We have a program that intermittantly suffers hang-freezes. Running it in the debugger shows that the C program is calling usleep when it freezes. What kinds of interrupts sent to our application could be causing this?
Thanks,
Art

<pre>
Hi,
1. This behavior is known in case your program in MT.
usleep() is MT-unsafe, therefore it can't be used in
programs compiled with "-mt" option. Alternate is to use
nanosleep().
2. If that is not the case, I would suggest you to put the
sample code here that exhibits the problem.
Thanks
