Motion render turns system to freeze

MacPro 8-core 3,2, 8GB RAM, 8800 GT
720p25, image 2000x1500px with position and rotation animation, threshold and pixellate filters on it. RAM preview or render are strange. I can't drag windows smoothly, cursor moving with pauses and every my action stay too long. Activity monitor shows: goof.ru/mb.png processor is'n full of working, abou 4 GB RAM is free... So, what is it? Why on render system a so hard working?

Hi I've done a BIG research, and the problem seems to be our graphic card, the GeForce 8800.
It seems that the new card Radeon HD 3870 should solve the problem. Just do a research about "Radeon HD 3870" and "motion 3" and read... looks like the card made just for this software.

Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
<About NVRAM and PRAM>
<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

Help! System keeps freezing

I have recently bought the new imac 21.5" running Snow Le opard(last month infact) and transferred my data from my previous imac running Snow Leopard using set-up assistant. After a couple of weeks my system froze and the only way to get out was to power down with the power button. After re-starting I was getting the file sign with the question mark, showing that the computer couldn't find my hard drive. After re-startingfrom the Snow Leopard install disk it still couldn't find my hard drive, so I powered down again and left it til the morning and tried again starting from the boot disc - from here I saw that the hard drive was verified so I repaired the disc and permissions and restarted - everything was fine, no hard disc problems. However, this has happened now four times, the system completely freezes, I have to do a shut down and encounter the same problem each time, although after a few hours I can re-boot and get everything up and running. I thought originally it was a problem with an open application but the last time it happened (a couple of hours ago) I had nothing running, I had just turned on screen sleep. I am wondering if my time machine back-up drive may be the problem but not being computer savvy I haven't a clue. I would be very grateful for any advice given as I don't really know what to do next

I experienced a different reaction from my Mac book pro after installing wwan.
I actually connect to the internet using a Merlin data card for which this update was made but I live in Greece. What happens is my menu bar keeps quiting and coming back up every ten seconds or so ad noseum. This prevents me from doing pretty much anything since iTunes comes to foreground every time the menu bar gets going (every 10 sec). I spent all of yesterday trying to figure out a solution to no avail. I really need to unistall the wwan nightmare so if anyone from apple is reading this DO SOMETHING. I NEED TO GET BACK TO WORK!!!. And next time you come up with an update like this try to make it network independant or something.

System Keeps Freezing

Hi Guys
I really need some help with this as it's really starting to wreck my brain. My iMac is running the latest software version 10.6.8 but what has started to happen is that if I have anymore then say 3 different programs open the whole system just freezes and it stays like that untill I force it to turn off by holding the power button. I'm thinking the maybe Safari is behind it all because it always seems to do it when Safari is open. I lost about 4 hours work of work yesterday and well lets just say some words were said to my iMac that I taught I'd never say to an Apple product. Has this happened to anyone else and if so how did you go about fixing it so that you can actually rely on it again. Seriously as I'm writing this I have no idea if I'll even get to post it.
Here are the specs of my iMac: 27" iMac, 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Oh and it doesn't even have to have that many programs open. I was on youtube this evening and the only thing that was going was Finder and Safari and all I did was while a video was playing clicked on a different video and well it's like Safari paniced and just froze. Seriously what's going on with it, please guys I would be thankful for any help or advise with this.
All the best

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.

ITunes causing whole system to freeze?

Hi
There are a lot of questions on this forum which are similar to this, but I have not found one that actually replicates the same problem in the same conditions.
Today I was listening to iTunes and had a bunch of other applications open. For no apparent reason, the whole system froze up on me. By this I mean: the mouse no longer responds, keyboard no longer responds, the colon that flashes the seconds in the clock stops flashing (I have that turned on so that I can see when the machine is really frozen), and all the keyboard-shortcuts like Option-Command-Esc (Forced Quit dialog) or Ctrl-Eject fail to work. Even the Ctrl-Command-Power doesn't work (for forced Restart): instead I have to hold the power button for a few seconds and the computer shuts down, but does not restart. (This is what I mean by the 'whole system freezing'). There is no warning, no beachball spinning, and the G5 does not even seem particularly hot (the fans were not blowing hard). So I am completely at a loss to understand what's going on.
Thinking this was a one-off event, I restarted, ran a "Verify permissions" and "Repair permissions" (was this a mistake?) and ran a few applications (Mail, Safari) all of which worked fine. Then I opened iTunes again. It opened OK. I then closed the window, which worked. Then I quit iTunes. This caused the whole system to freeze again, exactly as before.
I have repeated this cycle a couple of times. iTunes will open, will even start playing a song, but on Quit the whole system freezes.
More recently I found that the system froze with iTunes just playing a song.
What then happened was that I looked for help on this forum, found too many cases of iTunes doing strange things but none with my configuration, and thought (perhaps recklessly) that I should update iTunes (from 6.0.4 to 6.0.5). This seemed to work perfectly. Except when I opened it, and played a song, within seconds the whole freezing thing happened again, exactly as before.
So, apart from giving up on listening to music in the office, what is to be done? I am able to run other applications OK (I'm writing this within Safari), so it seems to be an iTunes related problem. I had no unusual devices connected (in fact nothing except keyboard, mouse, monitor), and no iPod connected.
Does anyone know what to do about this?
(I'm using a Power-PC based dual G5 which is only about 15 months old).
Thanks in advance.

Just an update (I'm answering my own post) in case anyone else has this issue:
I managed to get iTunes to stop causing hard crashes. I went through the repair disk procedure outlined here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
Including running Yasu at the end with most of the boxes ticked, to clean caches thoroughly.
And I also trashed all the iTunes preferences files. The first time you run iTunes after this you have to answer some questions (as it resets the prefs) but you can always restore your settings manually afterwards.
So far so good -- iTunes launches, runs, and quits without crashing the system.
I guess this might not have been an issue with iTunes itself. The damage was probably done when the first crash happened and I had to use the power button to shut down. I still don't understand what caused the first crash, though, and Yasu seems to have deleted the panic log so I'll never know.

Try a Safe Boot: Restart holding down the shift key until you (hopefully) see a grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu. Any change?
How much RAM do you have installed?

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.

Screen turns dark and freezes, when refreshing deletes written txt

Firefox should be more compatible without blaming others.
While writing this same note, or an email or text, suddenly the screen turns dark and freezes, impeding to edit or recover the work. When clicking Control Shift R , screen/server refreshes and work lost.
Kindly assist and solve this issue. I uninstall and reinstall with no avail, problem persists.

It's disturbing that you get ads just starting up the browser. Where did you download Firefox from? Unfortunately there are some unauthorized modified versions promoted in search engine results...
Some things to check:
# Home page -- [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
# Extensions (more detail below)
# Malware -- [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
# Program shortcut (more detail below)
'''''Extensions'''''
Add-ons, and particularly extensions, can override your settings in Firefox's normal dialogs. Use the Add-ons page to review and disable or remove ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
'''''Program Shortcut'''''
Not sure exactly how you do this on Windows 8.1, but on earlier versions:
right-click the shortcut you use to start Firefox > Properties > Shortcut tab
Check the "Target" line and make sure there is no URL at the end. By default, the target ends with
firefox.exe"
with no URL after it.

System wide freezes becoming too frequent

If anyone has some insight about where I could track down what might be causing my entire system to freeze would be highly appreciated! The issue doesn't seem to be application specific, and I've run hardware tests and all the other standard maintenance utilities, which all state everything seems to be ok? One possible suspect I thought it could be was my 2 HDs set to cable select, which I read somewhere can sometimes cause issues. So I switched them to master and slave. After doing so, I ran disk utility to repair permissions and it completely locked up again! I can't even force quit! The complete freeze before that, happened while using safari, so thats what I mean by it doesn't seem to be app specific. Another odd thing about the freezes is sometimes I'll get the strange transparent grey screen with the multilingual white letters telling me to restart by holding down the power button, but other times it just locks up with no wierd screen. This has only seemed to become an issue over the past couple of months or so. I'm not unix scripty savy, but is there some kind of command I can use in terminal or console to possibly find some type of log about the last few strings before a freeze? The panic.logs in console show this

Do everything, in order, in Dr.Smokes Resolving Kernel Panics and don't leave out any steps.

System wide freezes since 10.5.5

Ever since upgrading to 10.5.5 I've noticed the following sort of system-wide freeze on my iMac.
First, one application becomes unresponsive; you get the spinning beachball of death; you can still move the mouse around and click; every application becomes unresponsive, including the Finder. Only a hard restart works.
At first I noticed the problem in iChat, and looked into that. Hey presto, other users are experiencing the same problem with iChat, so I wrote to Apple/feedback and sat and waited. I stopped using iChat, and then found it happened in iTunes. Look at the iTunes discussion, and yes, there it is again, other users having the same problem.
I've repaired permissions, run Onyx, done everything I can think of.
Console doesn't have any useful (to me) messages. It says:

That kernel bootcache looks ominous, but I have little idea what it means. I wonder whether it's something to do with Time Machine backing up. Of course, the above might just be totally unrelated to what's going wrong. (Looking at Console is I find rather like looking at a medical dictionary; it's truly frightening, but most of it never in practice seems to be a problem.)
Anyone else experiencing random system freezes only since 10.5.5? Anyone suggest what else I can try or look for in Console to pin things down a bit more?

Hello all,
Let me chime in on this also... I also experienced freezes immediately after I updated to 10.5.5 from 10.5.4 about 10 days ago. I had never had my Mac (Black MacBook with 4GB or RAM) freeze that much, so I concluded that it had to do with the update.
After multiple freezes, I brought the Mac to the Apple Store where a Genius did a disk check, hardware check and everything checked out OK. However, the random freezes remained. They then did an archive and install *back to 10.5.4*, but same thing, freezes remained. At random intervals.
Around that time, I noticed that if I waited long enough, the machine would return from the freeze and everything would operate normally after that.
I seem to remember that the first ever time I noticed the freeze was when I was working in the Mail application.
After my fifth successive daily visit to the Genius Bar, where they offered to completely format my internal drive, install a fresh copy of 10.5.4 and re-load my data back in. On this, they completely failed me, they returned my computer with half of the applications missing (the iPhoto application was not even on the drive), and my data partially restored.
I then decided to re-format my drive once again, use the 10.5.2 Install Disk that came with my Mac to freshly install the OS. Then immediately thereafter I downloaded the 10.5.5 combo installer and used it to upgrade to 10.5.5. Then, I selectively copied files from my Time Machine backup hard drive back to my internal drive.
Time Machine did not work for me when trying to restore e-mail mailboxes. It only partially imported the mailboxes I needed. Instead I had to do an "import mailboxes" from the Mail application and point it to the mailbox location on my Time Machine backup.
So, now I have a system that is lean and clean, I didn't install any "major" other applications using installers, just a few applications I drag-copied to the Applications folder.
The machine ran fine for a day or two, until I tried to move some mail from my inbox into another mailbox. Boooom, spinning beach ball again. I let the machine sit for about 5 minutes, and it came back. But this indicates that there is still an issue.
Since I also experienced this problem after going back to 10.5.4, I am wondering whether the 10.5.5 install does affect firmware or other device 'hardware' functionality that remains, even after reverting to 10.5.4. This is the only reason I can come up with for why the problem still existed when I went to 10.5.4.
Anyway, this post does not provide a solution, but merely some other data points.
Oh and by the way, I had never even started iTunes before this problem showed up again this morning. So, not sure whether it is related to iTunes.

Using Acrobat Pro XI to open PDF causes system to freeze.

Frequently, when I open a PDF document (double click the PDF file), my Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ver. 11.0.03, (and X before) causes my system to freeze (hourglass icon runs for up to 30 seconds) not allowing me to perform any other command, and less frequently causes Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to quit. Following the unexpected quit, Windows Error Reporting takes over and I am directed to Windows for a solution (http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/5044/en-us/5.1.2600.2.00010100.3.0?SGD=83 458a54-94bd-481a-834b-9713fc92dccf&iBucketTable=1&iBucket=-692234318&BucketHash=e4711a21f7 5b0d1473d68945071e3721), and the solution always directs me to install Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03) (http://get.adobe.com/reader/). This occurs on a daily basis. Should I install Adobe Reader even though I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed? Any ideas why my system hangs or why Adobe Acrobat Pro XI quits unexpectedly? My system is a Win XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3 with all the latest updates installed; 3 GB Ram and Intel Core2 Duo CPU T5670 @ 1.80 GHz, Dell Vostro 2510. I have Norton Anti Virus and I have performed a nightly full system virus scan, and I have performed a deep system virus scan. There are no viruses.

Bill@VT: Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried the suggested steps, but will shortly. Will let you know what occurs.

Error while turning system restore on windows 7

Hi,,
Recently I restored my system to factory image, and today i downloaded a video card driver and it failed and i want to restore my system to the point before installing this driver, But when i tried it told me to turn system recovery on. And when i tried

then it said to me to close the property page and try again.
I have attached a picture of this error and please help me because my video card stopped working because of that update.
I think system restore is working even when it shows this error, I don't know why but i want to go back in the time before i installed that driver when the system restore was turned off, I really want to know if there is any way to restore my Laptop to the
moment when system restore was turned off and before installing that driver and thanks.
