My iMac freezes after installation of Mavericks

My iMac set. with the new Mavericks has started freezing, or going into sleep mode, and will not wake up. I have to hold the power button in for about ten seconds to force it to close down, wait a few seconds, the press power button again and it will boot normally.
It will sometimes just freeze the screen, and other times go to a blank screen. Nothing will wake it up.
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

I have had consistent freezes after my MBP (15 in 2.4/2.2 GHz) goes to sleep since I installed Mavericks. When it's frozen, the fan is going hard, but nothing will wake it up -- not mouse motion, key presses (including "force quit" chord), closing and opening lid, etc. I have to force a shutdown with the power button, and restart it.
The only thing I've found to prevent the freeze is to prevent going to sleep. There's nothing that I recognize as suspicious in the console log. I've reinstalled Mavericks, I've fixed permissions, I've repaired the hard drive, I've removed plugins. I don't know what else to try. So I'm looking for suggestions, please!

My imac freezes after 5 minutes of use

my imac freezes after 5 minutes of use, that's including after i reboot. is there something that i'm not doning because it's freezing on all my programs.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

System freezes after installation of version 11.5.502.149

WindowsXp, Firefox, Flash player 11.5.502.149 - I have made 2 attempts to load latest version; both times when I have restarted my system Windows will only load to Wallpaper and then stops- I waited for atleast 30 minutes - no program icons, no taskbar etc, Have used safe mode to uninstall flash player, did registry fix, have used system restore, still will not load. Did chkdsk - no apparent disk problems - but then after attempting to restart several times after long wait finally loaded. System will now restart, but as this happened after installation of flash player 2x I am unwilling to retry. - and now can not reload older version of flashplayer. - have recently installed other program updates and have not had system freeze so do not think it is a general installation problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

Pat
Trying to install an older version I got a message something to the effect that a newer version is available and program does not install. By hunting around the support areas on Adobe I did find a page that noted that if for some reason the new version did not work an older version was archived and a link.. so I did find an older version that would load.. of course I had to find a Zip program to unzip the file and it did try the same message ... there were 2 unzipped versions - only one worked but I do now have a working version albeit of Flash Player.
I googled for WindowsXp freezing and found a number of bulletin boards/forums that discussed solutions - which were pretty much what I did. Typically it happened after installing a new or updated program. No reasons were mentioned as to why or what was happening and the solutions of starting in safe mode, uninstalling, restoring, chkdsk are all sort of hit and miss... if one doesn't work try another... with the final solution being reload windows.. of course my version came installed and I don't have a backup disk so I imagine that would be another day or two of total frustration... so I guess I will avoid trying to update the flash player as long as possible. I have my system set up to only allow updates I have confirmed.
Thanks for your prompt response.

WinXP Acrobat 8 freeze after installation

Hello,
i installed Acrobat 8.1.0 on a AMD Dual Core System with XP SP2.
With all Windows, Adobe Updates and OfficeXP.
After double click on the Icon, the acrobat starts up.
but freeze after 3-5 sec.
I've installed from CD and Harddisk (Acrobat KB*).
Even a new installation, only with Mainboard drivers and without
any Update or without Office, the Acrobat freeze.
The System self is operation normal. A Kill with the Task-Manager is
possible.
My System:
AMD Dual Core 4450e / ASUS M3N Mainboard / 2GB RAM
Windows XP VOL with included SP2
OfficeXP or Office 2003
Has anybody an idea?
Thanks
Matthias
PS: Sorry for my damning english.

Hallo J.R.,
sorry, that i answer so late. The Problem is actual.
Yes i deleted all files in the Temp-Dir,
before i installed / run Acrobat.
I run the System with minimal Services and auto/manual
started Flexnet service.
The System freeze again. I start Regmon and Filemon from MS,
i found some buffer overflows, but there are no
abnormal exceptions.
Is there any chance to aktivate a Logmode or to deaktivate some
features before i start Acrobat?
Thanks

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.

IMessage on iMac freezes after changing apple ID

I changed apple ID. My iMessage started freezing the computer for at least 3- 10 or more minutes. It's an ID issue I'm told because I opened new account on mac and as soon as I logged in Apple ID iMessage and it did same thing to that account called Tester.

Hi,
In that case contact Apple Support and ask them to look at the iMessages server with regard to your Apple ID.
The use of the Apple ID is device specific and it can be "refused" for a Mac when and iPhone still works.
As Level 1 people at Apple Support tend to Script Led you may need to ask to speak to a Level 2 person.
Even then you may have to endure some testing such as looking at the Keychain.

Continuous update of imovie, iphoto, pages, numbers, keynote after installation of Mavericks

Hi,
I face on the same issue since the installation of Mavericks.
I had before the iLife Suite and iWork Suite coming from a DVD purchase.
Since the installation of Mavericks, the update is available from the App Store.
But after the update of each application, I was able to start them but few minutes/hours after, I can't launch the application again and the system restart the download of the application ... and this for all applications coming from a previous DVD purchase.
For example, Aperture which comes from a App Store purcharse has been update one time and works perfectly.
Have you an idea to solve the issue ?
Regards

Same issue here it's using up all my monthly download .
I movie has installed and is working but the Update continues to download. The store window lower panel shows all the updates installed since updating to Maverick's including iMovie. The top panel offers iMove same version as an update and is downloading in the background.
How can I clear down this and set a flag to tell the system it is up to date!
How do I turn off updates until this is resolved I think iMovie is 1.5gb I have already wasted 3gb of my monthly allocation.
Regards

Hi Alex,
Try disconnecting everything from the Mac including power supply, give it a few seconds, while waiting unplug keyboard and plug into different USB PORT, now re-connect power supply and turn on machine... see if you can get your Mac to boot up properly... here's a link explaining the procedure: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733

IMac freezing after update to Yosemite

Hi reader!
I'm struggling with my iMac after I've updated to Yosemite.
Problem description:
My iMac keeps crashing when I launch some specific demanding programs.
I tried to launch a game, Heroes of Newerth, it keeps freezing the iMac totally, after 10-15 sec.
When i launch videos on Facebook it does the same.
I can play movies in VLC and i can surf on the internet, but not watch youtube videos.
I’ve tried deleting apps like Adobe and Java, but can’t seem to delete Java to reinstall it.
These apps are being reinstalled as I write this.
The real issue is, it happened suddenly after some weeks after I updated to Yosemite, and i haven't updated anything else the last 2-3 days.
I am really in a pickle, with exam-reading coming up, and I have a lot of stuff backed up on a USB drive, but not it all.
I can't even get diskwarrior before it freezes up.
My specs are
iMac 24-inch, early 2009
Processor 2,93 GHz Intel core 2 duo
Memory 4 gb 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
If more is needed, I'll be happy to provide it.
Thanks, appreciate the help!

IMac freezing after startup

My 2010 iMac freezes every time I boot it up. I have completely erased the hard drive and started fresh with Snow Leopard, repaired the disk/disk permissions, booted in safe mode, reset the PRAM...I've tried everything to no avail. Within 30 seconds-2 minutes of startup, the spinning beach ball appears and I can't do anything. I guess it's not actually "frozen," as I can still move the mouse and click on things, but they won't actually open. Example: I can click on the apple menu and click about this mac, but it won't open the window. I have been trying to download the Snow Leopard update so that I can install Mavericks to see if that will help, but either the software check stalls or the download stalls within minutes of starting. Any ideas?!

Just to rule out hardware issues, run the AHT.

Air play does not work after installation of maverick

After installing of Maverick the connection with Apple tv is not possible. All other devices, i-phone 5 and i-pad, are working.

I have never liked using Network Manager with Oracle. If you use traditional ifup, you can use SCPM and have different profiles. The first 2 things I do during an install of Suse Linux that will have Oracle 10g is disable Network Manager and disable IPv6. Go to /etc/hosts and remove all entries that have the IPv6 addresses. The 10g OC4J applications from database and application servers have problems with IPv6 addressing. Make note of your current DNS addresses and your route before reconfiguring to ifup. Use route -n to get the router address if you do not already know it. It is the gateway with values. It is also a good idea to configure your wired ethernet device to start on boot up, then you can ping your hostname whether or not your cable becomes disconnected, i.e. still access dbconsole with the router down.

Acarbat Freezed after installation and run it for Mac Pro!

Dear all,
I tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro to one station this morning (or install
Adobe Reader 9 couple days ago), but the system hanged after installation
and ran it. Clicking "force quit", it showed that "Acrobat (no response)".
Following are the general description about the workstation and it is
connected to Mac server.
Workstation which tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro:
- Mac Pro Processor: 2* 3GHz Dual-core Intel Xeon
- Memory: 4GHz
- Mac OS X 10.5.6
Server
- Mac Pro Processor: Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5
- Memory: 3GHz
- Mac OS X Server 10.5.6
- Service: AFP, FTP, Open Directory (control the use login for all
workstations)
Installation procedures:
- Login the workstation as an Administrator (local)
- Install Acrobat 9 PRO
- Registration
- Shut down the workstation after installation
- Restart the workstation
- Use my unique name to login (all my files are stored in Server)
Problem:
- Double-click "Acrobat 9 Pro" to run the software, it hangs
or
- Click one PDF file and use "Open with" to select "Acrobat 9 Pro", it
hangs again.
Does anyone have the same situation or have any idea to solve this
problem?
I really appreciate your kind help.
Best,
Ei-Wen

P.S. If you shut down your computer, the window should have disappeared. Why didn't you use Force Quit?
