My emac keeps freezing!!! any help please
Hello, my emac keeps freezing. I tried to use the first aid and got this message.
"Repair attempted on two volumes,
1 HFS volume repaired
1 volume could not be repaired"
I can't reistall the Os because my installation disk is scratched.
any help please
You should check to see if your capacitors are bad. My eMac started having this exact same problem about a month ago and I finally just took it apart the other day and looked at it and there's two or three bad capacitors (bulging, one slightly leaking brown), so I'm going to have my much-more-experienced-with-soldering dad try to replace them with ones we ordered. Hopefully they work!
I'd check and see if this is the problem, then if it is, you will need to either replace the bad capacitors yourself, get someone experienced to do it, or buy a new board, which may cost far more than the eMac would be worth if it was working right anyway.
Of course, you can just scrap it and keep the hard drive and DVD drive and RAM. eMacs are getting kinda old nowadays. I went from an eMac 1.25 GHz to a Mac mini 2.0 GHz and it is sooooooooo much better. No more Flash headaches (or at least less of them), and everything runs so much smoother.
Best of luck.

New iTunes, film keeps freezing! Help please!
I have the new iTunes (not sure which version to be honest, whichever was the last to pop up!) and have since downloaded a film from the apple store. It finished downloading and I am now trying to watch it but it won't go 30 seconds without freezing! It then seems to fast forward itself for a couple of seconds to catch up to the point where it should be! Very frustrating as it is the first film I have bought from itunes!!! I have since tried to download another version of itunes, and then tried to play it on Quicktime and it still freezes! Does anybody know how I can get it to play properly!? Help is appreciated.
From Robert:Lorge Posted: May 29, 2007 8:02 PM
I may have solved the problems: I am now trying the troubleshoot file someone else posted on a similar problem:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856>
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
The batch file didn't solve it, but deleting the first preference file: iTunesPref.xml seems to have worked, what it has done so far, on re-clicking on iTunes is that a whole bunch of podcasts downloaded that were not there before (some older ones I may have previously deleted or never downloaded under the podcast subscriptions, am not sure which) and itunes recreated a new preference file. In any event itunes has not frozen yet (half hour to go before podcast updates). Anyway I recommend you to look at the troublshoot page. It should be put at the top of these discussion lists, to save us all several hours of searching for solutions.
All my kindest best wishes, I am,

My Ipod keeps freezing! help please!
So I got my new iPod nano for Christmas and I loaded all the songs I wanted on it and everything went well with loading the songs on it and I started listening to it and the iPod will randomly freeze in the middle of a song and either stop in the play screen and stop playing the song, or it will just restart itself. I have tried the "5 R's" and that does'nt work, and i have completely reset the entire iPod as well, so what is wrong, and can anyone help?

- If still problem, see it iTunes nows sees the iPod so you can restore the iPod.
- Next see if placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovry mode:

My iMac keeps freezing. Help please?
Gang,
I have about a 6 year old iMac w/iSight 1.9GHz Power PC G5 with 1 Gig DDR2SDRAM of memory. It is currently running 10.4.11 Tiger OS. It seems about every other day no it is locking up. I can't do anything other than shut it down to remedy the problem.
The only diagnostic thing I've done is reset the PRAM and repair disk permissions. This hasn't seemed to help the situation.
Any ideas? Would an update to Leopard solve any of the issues or is there something else I can do? I talked with one of the local apple stores and they said that they don't really do diagnostic type work. Is this true? I've got another local Mac type store that I can take it to to see if they can help?
I also need to update to iLife 08 to support a HD Sony video camera that I received last Christmas.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I'd like to just get a new iMac but I just can't right now.
Thanks!
ChadThis sounds awfully familiar--a lot like my friend's iMac that was doing the same thing. We added more RAM so it had 2.5 GB and ran SMART Utility, which passed the hard drive with no errors found:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23232
(You can download the demo and run it several times for free.)
We then reinstalled and updated the OS and all seemed to be well.
However, some months later the iMac made a "whirly clicky sound" and froze. My friend shut it down, and then it booted up to a flashing question mark. I had her boot from the install disc and navigate to Disk Utility, but Disk Utility could not see the drive at all, so it had obviously failed.
Based on this experience, there's a good chance that your hard drive could be ready to fail, even if the SMART status shows as verified. So your first order of business is to make a good up to date backup so your data will be safe.
Once you have a good backup, boot from your install disc and choose your language and then navigate to Disk Utility. Select your boot drive by brand name and repair it. Also check the SMART status.
Also run SMART Utility, which is a bit more critical than Disk Utility. If you get any indication that your hard drive is failing, believe it. Even if SMART is verified and the drive passes, it could still fail without notice.
What we did with my friend's iMac was to install the OS and other software onto an external FireWire Drive and migrated her data from a fairly recent backup. So far the iMac is running perfectly from the external FW drive, and this might be a possible solution for you if the internal drive is on its way out.
I have a related topic in this forum with some additional questions that might be of interest to you--at least if I ever get any answers to them.
Do all you can to check out your hard drive, as I suspect that it may be the underlying problem. If so, you need to address the drive before installing any other software.
Good luck! -
I have a macbook pro. The wireless is always conected but it keeps stopping uring browsing for some minutes. However i am using teh same wireless on my iphone and it wok normaly without any stop or cut. Any help please?
I'm having the same issue. Different programs though, it's mostly browsers and adobe products. I thought maybe it was heat related but it's not. It seems that as soon as Lion was about to be released, the updates were updating in preparation for Lion. I delayed updating the software updates because Adobe (my career) isn't totally compatible with Lion yet. Before I even started getting update notifications, though, within the recent week, it's freezing up constantly. I don't know what to do. It seems to be happening with my brower choice, I'm using Firefox and Chrome as my main browsers. I keep alot of sessions open but that shouldn't cause (and has never caused) this constant freezing issue. I did install some extensions in Chrome and Firefox, maybe that's the problem... The issues began after those were installed though, 3 weeks to a month later... Maybe the software updates (that I installed thinking it would correct the freezing issue), maybe they are preventing other browsers ? Maybe Apple is getting rid of Chrome and Firefox ? I'm not having issues with Safari (yet) though I just opened it for the first time in 2 months... only because the macbook is freezing (and it's also rebooting while asleep, closing all of my projects and not saving them)...
My Macbook Pro is the same year and the HDD is a year new. The manufacture recall had the video whatever replaced a few months ago.
I've never had these kinds of problems with an Apple computer. I'm using Snow Leopard and I'm very attached to this laptop ! It's configured perfectly.
Why oh why does it freeze constantly within the recent 1-2 weeks ?

My iphone 4 turned off yesterday very randomly. I had 88% battery when it turned off. I plugged it into the wall and it said i had no battery, then the apple came up as if it was turning on. It went black again and this keeps repeating over and over. Any help please ?
Battery could be at EOL. Try getting it replaced.

I need help with the photo stream. Everytime I try to open it on my PC it says photo stream is unable and I have tried everuthing to enable it but it doesn't work. Any help, please?
Freezing, or crashing?
ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
