My 21.5" quad core i5 iMac mid 2011 with LION keeps freezing.

this has never happened before while using snow leopard, but when using lion suddenly it freezes when i was on youtube and it has frozen when i was syncing my ipod. the other bad thing about it, is the computer doesn't know that it has frozen and it wont automatically restart even though i have the setting on.
hopefully this is just teething problems since lion is a new operating system, but i'd expect more from a company like apple.
any suggestions? or maybe a patch will come out?

hello,
I am yet to upgrade my OS to Lion but I have experienced this thing on my leopard 10.6 quiet a few times. I called the customer care support guy he gave me a solution to make the macbook run smooth without gettign freezed ( i hope it also works for the iMac ). So, what he told me to do is to drag and drop the entire caches as well as the startupitems folder ( Macintosh HD> Library ) and also the caches folder from your computer account library. restart computer then empty trash box and again restart the computer and use it but honestly bro I dont know if this will help you in OS x Lion.
Can you not restart the iMac after it is getting freezed ??

    It doesn't mention anything about a Mac Pro. So no.

    If your computer did support it, you would still need 10.8 or 10.9 for Airplay to work.

    If it was previously working then try a smc and pram reset.
    If that doesn't fix it then see if vlc can handle the video.

  • HT4854 I bought a new mac including 10.8 ML. How can I install 10.8 on my older iMac (mid-2011) with 10.6?

    I bought a new mac including 10.8 Mountain Lion. (How) can I now install 10.8 on my older iMac (mid-2011) which came with 10.6?

    You will need to buy it at the app store. The license for the pre-installed OS on your new machine is only for that machine. Only OS's purchased from the app store can be installed on more than one machine (as long as you own it).

  • IMac (mid 2011) with HDD replaced does not start- I have grey (sometimes blue or green) screen

    I had a similar issue in June and despite the efforts of Genius team nothing changed until I uninstall Flash player and reinstall the last version. So, this I did the same and it semeed to work but instead of working more than 2 months , this time it was only for one day and crashed. I had some kind of blue vertical stripes all over the screen.
    I did not revived it since.
    When I start in Recovery mode, after I select the disc to boot from, I get a grey screen.
    I tried all other mode I know, nothing changed.
    Could it be a hardware issue?

    Anyone know? :(

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Pro keeps freezing and Chrome won't work.

    Starting two days ago my Macbook has started freezing. It was working fine then an hour later it started freezing. It doesn't seem to matter what the program is, Chrome, Microsoft Word, Finder, Notes, everything; except for activity monitor.I have had troubles with my HD as my main Tb hard drive failed probably a month ago; when ever I started up the computer it shows the grey file with a blinking question mark. Never was able to resolve that. Now I am on the stock HD, 500 Gb, and have used about 51 Gb of it; with no huge programs such as ableton, PS, etc. on this HD. I have upgraded my ram to 16 Gb, but I am currently running 1.5 gb wired, 1.3 gb active, and 300 Mb inactive; totalling to 3.1 gb used and 12.9 free. I also have 500mb pages in and 0mb pages out. This maybe the reason, however I have no applications open but when looking at the processes in activity monitor it doesn't show anything abnormal. I am currently using around 2-8% of my CPU; my CPU being an I5. However, when it freezes and after it finally ends beach balling the cpu percentage skyrockets to around 40% then falls back to around 4. Yesterday I tried loading google chrome and now it says there is an ssl error, and my date in the top right corner has been rolled back to January 1 2012. I Tried chaning it but it beach balled and I shut off my computer. Right now I am using Safari, and have closed many, random, processes on the activity monitor and it seems to be running smoother with no beach balls. Anyone have any suggestions?
    **When I tried to add tags posting this my safari froze. When i closed xcel in my activity monitor safari started working again. Is this possibly a RAM issue?

    So my genius confirmed that my logic board had died. he said it's very rare for this to happen unless there's been physical damage I.e water damage. But this one had him stumped he thinks my hard drive is also shot too.

  • Why my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007) wont pair with my Imac mid 2011 (MacOS 10.7.4)?

    Hi there and thanks in advance for the support.
    Now we have an apple wireless keyboard 2007 and an Imac mid 2011 with Mac OS X 10.7.4 that won't connect. We had the keyboard the IMac brought but now it's lost and we need to get our old wireless keyboard to work with it.
    It's discoverable (we know this because it blinks and appears on the devices list on the BT setup assistant) but it wont pair or even give us the "enter the passcode" to try. We tried the "do not use a passcode with this device" and then the following comes out "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported."
    What can we do? It sounds like you guys in apple development didn't create this connecting option. Is it true?
    Buying a new one is no option nor for our pockets neither our moral. Please let us know about solutions.
    Gracias

    Might be corrupted Bluetooth preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy and paste the following:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash
    Make sure the keyboard has fresh batteries then try pairing the keyboard.
    If that didn't help, update your Mac's software to v10.7.5. Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed, then try pairing again.

  • No sound on iMac mid 2011

    Hi
    My new Imac mid 2011 has no sound,  Here are list of what I have done:
    I have reinstalled the OS, but no luck
    replaced the memory
    ran the hard disk repair
    checked the permission
    done reset PRAM RESET
    Sometimes the sounds comes after i restart the computer a few times, and the sound disapears again if the computer goes into sleep mode or after being idle for sometime, I also changed the settings to not let the Imac sleep but it still lose the sound.  
    By the way, during the start up if i hear the sound then sound works but many times only dvd driver spinns and no sound.
    could be fault in the sound card or motherboard, i am actually new onto Mac world.

  • Airplay icon missing - iMac mid 2011 type with Mavericks installed

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with Airplay. I have installed Mavericks on my iMac Mid 2011 type and noticed that the airplay icon does not appear on the menu bar as advertised by apple. I am able to play both music and video through the itunes but I am not able to do any mirroring. The airplay display does not even appear in the display settings. Also, I am prevented from using any other alternative solution such as AirParrot. It just gives me a connection blocked error. I have checked the firewall and all is ok. I would really appreciate some help.
    Thanks!

    Your answer is likely in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support If you are familiar with this document, please re-read it and I suspect you may find something you either missed or are doing incorrectly.

  • Target Display Mode iMac 27 mid 2011 with Mac Mini 2011 bootcamp

    Hello,
    I can't seem to use Target Display Mode with Bootcamp.
    My configuration:
    Imac 27" mid 2011 with osx 10.8.4
    Mac Mini Server 2011 with osx 10.8.4, bootcamp 5 and Windows7
    Both are connected via Apple genuine Thunderbolt cable (2m).
    When I boot the Mac Mini into OSX then Target Display Mode works perfectly and I can see the osx installed on the Mac Mini on the iMac display.
    However, when I reboot the Mac Mini into Bootcamp (windows7 x64) I can't put the iMac in Targt Display Mode and get to see Windows 7 on my iMac screen.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924#8
    The following article says that this should work, however once I reboot osx on the Mac Mini the iMac leaves Target Display Mode immediatly and will not return to Target Display Mode.
    Any advice? I contacted Apple Support and a Sr. Enginner said it should be supported and he's checking with a higher tier.
    Thanks

    Yes, it does.

  • How do I get my iPhoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel iMac mid 2011

    How do I get my Iphoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel imac mid 2011?

    I recommend tha tyou do not use migration assistant - it has a poor record of moving the iPhoto library successfully
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
