    You will need to reinstall OS X.

  • Mac gets slow after installed OS X 10.5 Leopard

    Dear All,
    Hope you had a great Christmas!!
    As I mentioned, after I upgrade my OS X10.4 to 10.5 Leopard my Mac gets very slow to start the machine. Normally takes less than minute to start to operate, but now it takes long time to load.
    First I thought it because of my hard drive running low space so I moved most of files to my external hard drive, left 57G free space but nothing is improved.
    Any ideas why? Anyone knows how to improve the speed?
    Thanks for your helps!
    Michael

    Sounds plenty sufficient to me.
    according to a quick google search, mdworker is related to spotlight, indexing what/where/content of files.
    there may be other ppc stuff lurking, especially if this is not your first mac and you used migration wizard to move from a PPC to intel mac.
    Thats what I did...and was quite unhappy with the perfrmance.
    I finally found a QT plugin that was (one of the things) killing my quads performance. (select the plugin, do a get info, it'll tell you if its PPC or universal) QT plugins do not show in activity monitor.
    Found another firefox plugin that did the same.
    activity monitor shows relative processor usage.
    with no programs open other than activity monitor, whats using a high percentage of processor?
    Oh, and if you have an old copy of Norton utilities, that will cause all sorts of problems. The only Norton/symantec product that is still OK to use is their anti-virus, and then, only version 8 or higher. System saver and all the other parts of NU just cause problems under X.
    As longs as you have at least 15% of your disk free, you should be OK there.
    Much below that, and the system will complain and start doing strange things.

  • MBP gets frozen after sleep

    Hi! I have an early 2011 15" MBP running OS X 10.8.2. For some time I experience a problem which happened rarely in the past and got more and more frequent and now it happens always.
    The symptom is that whenever I leave my MBP running with the display black (I configured the upper left corner of the screen to switch it off) for some time after like 3-5 hours it gets forzen. When I move the mouse the screen comes back, and the program running in the top window responds sometime, but latest after the first attempt when I try to switch to any other running programs or click the Apple menu, it hangs and nothing works any more. (Usually the CPU fans are on top speed but I'm not sure wether it's always the case.)
    Then I press the power btn for 10sec and restart it. If I'm luckey the system boots if not is does not and either a question mark or a folder icon appears on the grey background. Then I usually reboot it in repair mode and lunch the disk utility, and make it repair all the problems, but it rarely finds any.
    This behaviour is experienced even with no programs running (so after a fresh restart), so I don't think it's related to any of the user software. Yesterday I also tried to reinstall the system completely but it didn't help.
    I have a feeling that it might be related to the indexing process, because after such a forced reboot, a long indexing starts usually; but if it were the reason, others might have the same issue i guess, so I'm really out of ideas...
    Any hints/help is appreciated, thank you in advance!

    Try starting in the Safe Mode and see if you get the same results:
    Starting Up in the Safe Mode
    What is Safe Mode
    Also try using another account to see if you get the same results. Disk Utility doesn't repair permissions for your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  'resetpassword' (without the 's) and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • New Mac is frozen after Migration Assistant finished!

    I just got a new 13 inch MacPro the other day (Lion) and used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my old 09 Pro (10.5.8). I restarted the new one after the transfer was done but nothing loads! I just see the background image (from my old Mac, so clearly the transfer did work) and the colorwheel. I tried waiting - couple of hours, nada. After shutting down manually and restarting the same thing comes up. Help!

    10.7 doesn't run 10.5 software, so you should have only restored the user and nothing else.
    Hold the shift key down while booting and log into the Admin user of the machine, then delete the other user.
    Reboot normally twice and see if it works like it did before, if not.
    Then hold the command and r keys down and boot, this enters Lion Recovery, use Disk Utility to erase OS X Lion and then get online (fast reliable Internet, wired preferred) and redownload Lion from Apple's servers.
    If all this fails, simply take the machine back to Apple and let them do it.
    13" is not a good choice for 3D gaming as it's all integrated graphics (scores 11), no  powerful dedicated graphics card like the 15 and the 17" have (scores 30 and 45)
    Just thought I'd warn you, perhaps you may consider upgrading to a cooler 15" with anti-glare screen.

    If you have your files on a regular storage device, not TimeMachine, then use that to restore manually with.
    All you have to remmeber is to use the same user name as on the 10.5 machine and transfer files right into their same folders as before.
    When itunes and iPhoto runs, it will upgrade the older libraries.

  • Mail gets frozen after update 10.5.6

    Hi, I'm an active Mail user, i check it every day and after I installed the nw update, like 3 months ago, everytime I open the Mail app, it starts looking for new Mails and the app gets freezed. Nothing happens, i have to restart it and it's the same thing, please i need help, IT'S VERY URGENT, so far I'm checking my e-mail on gmail web.
    PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME EWHAT TO DO, I'D APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.

    Hello S:
    I see you are running OS X 10.5.6. Boot from that DVD. Do not actually install anything. Rather, use the disk utility on that disk and run repair disk. What that does is, among other things, check for directory problems (and hopefully repair any errors).

  • Mac getting unusable after 10.9 instal

    I installed 10.9 Mavericks two weeks ago.  Now Safari, mail, system preferences, and who knows what else are not opening - the top menu bar greys out and nothing happens. now wi-fi and bluetooth are dropping out constantly. Any ideas what is going on?
    I am using a 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo 24" mid 2007 build. OS upgraded from Mountain Lion which had no problems. Have tried OSX Recovery - no improvement.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    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 on some models, 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 sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  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 steps 1 and 2.

  • My mac has frozen after upgrading iphone to osx 6

    I successfully upgraded my iPhone 4; my wife logged onto her screen name to do the same with her 4; wiped out all her apps and the Mac can't be closed down...
    The only difference I can see between our screens is that hers has a Setup Assistant.  If I click that, the screen goes blank.

    While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, just be aware that after every iOS update there is a group of users that report faster than normal battery drain.
    The vast majority of battery issues are resolved by basic troubleshooting.
    Most iOS users never experience battery issues or any other issues for that matter after iOS updates.
    There is no battery issue to fix or any reason to believe that a fix for these mysterious battery issues will appear in the next iOS update.

  • OS X get "frozen" often while I run in internet ...

    Hi people,
    I remark that in that often my mac get "frozen" suddenly and I have to restart holding down the power key for few seconds..that's happend also 5-6 time pro day..sometimes less.
    After restarting, it says that OS X shut down and ask me to send a report to Apple ...I press "Send" but it disappears !
    All this happend while I'm on internet. I use Sitecom wireless key adaptator and modem-router...
    Some help?
    Tx a lot,
    Mimes

    I want try to reinstall OS X and format the hard but
    I want install it before on a ext HD that i've
    partioned in 4 parts ...do you know if I do it, I
    will lose all the files on the Ext HD or just in the
    partition I choose?
    As long as you don't erase the entire drive before installing, you should be fine. The reassurance will be if the installer says that it is installing on a partition of the same name as the partition you created. But we don't know how you "partitioned" the drive, or the filesystem format you chose for the desired partition. You will only be able to install on certain types of partitions appropriate for your computer. If your computer is the iBook G4 that you have in your signature, it will have to be an APM format, MacOS Extended (journaling doesn't matter) in order to boot.
    Do you think it can be usefull to
    run diagnostic from ext HD instead DVD?
    You will not gain anything. Run the hardware diagnostics from your DVD that came with the computer.
    Or..installing the OS in the ext HD I can check if
    also there the problem carry on..right?
    All that installing/running the OS from your external HD will show, if things work OK from there, is that it's either:
    (a) a software problem on your original disk (file system corruption, or bad bits on some key piece of software); or
    (b) a hardware problem with your original disk.
    Try booting from the install DVD, run Disk Utility, check (repair) the filesystem on your original disk.

  • 10g Form gets Frozen

    Hello all,
    We are using Oracle 10g forms as a web aplication, and one of our forms gets frozen after being used for some time, this doesn't happen all the time, and this issue has nothing to do with any query (we have run traces an all the queries look ok).
    More details...
    Whithin this form we have a window with a lot of items (buttons, check, text fields, trees, lists), the Enable, Visible and Navigatable properties of these items are changed based on user's selection, this could happend several times (some times more than 30).
    As we haven't been able to find the root cause of this in the code, I believe the issue could be that the porperty of the items are being changed a lot of times, and this might cause a memory issue on the JVM or something like that.
    Has anyone faced with a similar issue?
    BTW, we don´t get any error message, the entire application gets frozen, we can't even open the Java console.
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    I have the same situation here. I am using forms 10.1.2.3 with latest patch applied. On the client side there is JRE 1.6.14. No matter if I use IE or Mozilla the form or better to say whole browser gets frozen. The most funny thing is this problem started with users who have got new computers. So on old computers there are no problems but on the new ones the browser gets freezed five to ten times per day. Our impression is this is happening in certain combionation with JDK and hardware. I should mention I have switched three users back to Jinitiator and there were no problems. The worst problem is there are no log or trace files when browser freezes.
    I am sorry I could not help you but at least you will not feel you are alone. If I will manage to find some solution I will let you know.
    Best regards.

  • After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine.  How do I get my music back????

    After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine.  How do I get my music back????

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

  • HT3964 I just opened up my MacBook Pro after a few days of not using it and it was frozen. I turned it off and back on and all I see is a white screen, there was a file with a question mark flashing for a bit but I can't do anything, please help me!!

    I just opened up my MacBook Pro after a few days of not using it and it was frozen. I turned it off and back on and all I see is a white screen, there was a file with a question mark flashing for a bit but I can't do anything, please help me!!

    Jerricayoung,
    you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

  • Automatically turn on when mac gets power

    I have a MacPro thats plugged into a power conditioner (power distribution rack) and id like the mac to turn on when the power conditioner is turned on, at the moment when the power conditioner is turned on and the mac gets power, it waits for me to press the power button to boot up, i want it to simply turn on when it gets power and avoid having to press the power button.
    thanx

    In "Energy Saver" system preference, enable "Start up automatically after a power failure". It won't start if you manually shutdown, but should if it shutdown due to power failure.

  • IPad 3rd Generation frozen after reset was done. I get a logo but no status bar

    iPad 3rd Generation frozen after reset was done. I get a logo but no status bar

    Hello there, darney87.
    The following Knowledge base article offers up some great troubleshooting steps for the issue you're describing with your iOS device showing an Apple logo:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected,  restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),  reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
