  • On start up green vertical lines appear and then the become spots and imac freezes

    on start up green vertical lines appear and then they become spots covering entire screen and imac freezes, does not start. I need to do a safe boot to open the imac 2009

    Unfortunately this sounds like a hardware failure. Run Apple Hardware Test in extended modeat least 2-3 times back to back. If errors appear then you have confirmed my suspicion. However if no errors appear unfortunatelyyou are not out of the woods l yet  because AHT is not the more reliable test. If you do know know how to run AHT please refer to:

  • TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
    The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
    I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
    You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
    In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
    WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
    This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
    No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

    Do you have sound coming from the audio output port using headphones?  If so, when the plug is pulled out, is there a red light?

  • Speakers popping and clicking (Audigy 2 Platinum Ca

    Trying to understand why my speakers start popping and clicking whenever I watch YouTube videos. I have to reload the drivers in order to it get it stop. This gets old. Is there a permanent fix out there? mPlease advise. Thanks.

    Theres 3 possible cause
    MUSIC
    -The music bit rate you are listening is simply too hissing and popping to listen to. It means, music below 28kBPS. For example, battle field atillery strike simple hiss to much, same as doom 3 ^_* . Try listening it further...notice diffrence?
    Speaker
    -Your speaker is malfunction or simple too good to listen hissing sound in problematic musics. It is because your speaker problem ^!^
    Lastly, sound card is not the issue of hissing and popping..... I SUGGEST YOU LOOK CLOSER TO YOUR SPEAKER!

  • 2011 iMac freezes anytime I play videos

    My 2011 iMac continually freezes anytime I play videos whether it's on Netflix or iTunes.  There's no problem playing videos on YouTube.  I am on version 10.9.2 OS X.  The videos will freeze for about five seconds (everything freezes - including the dock bar), then will unfreeze and after I'd say another five seconds, it freezes again! Does anyone have any suggestions? It's very frustrating trying to watch a movie!  I also have a horizontal white line that goes straight across the video as well, which I'm guessing is probably linked to the videos freezing...?

  • 30 GB iPod, Freezes whenever I play video

    I've played video on my iPod flawlessly for the last year, but now it freezes up whenever I try to play video. It plays music fine, and I've restarted, reinstalled, ect. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have had the same issue for months and now it seems the only way I can play videos is to create them in Handbrake and NOT to download them from I tunes. I posted this messae a number of weeks ago:
    I have a 60 GB 5th Generation IPod. Downloaded Season 5 of 24 from ITunes Store and was unable to load them on Ipod unless I updated to Software Version 1.2.1. Did that. Loaded videos.
    Go to play the first episode and it freezes. Needs to be restarted. Freezes again in the same place. Can fast forward past the place that it freezes and let it play. Freezes again...in a new place..and will continue to freeze in the same places. Restored to earlier verion of software but would not let me load the downloaded videos. Restored to 1.2.1 and only loaded a few episodes (wipe my IPod clean of everything else.) Still same problem.
    By the way, the same files play fine on my computer (not my Ipod), just fine.
    I downloaded and PAY for a new file of Season 5 Episode 1 and guess what...it freezes at the exact same place. Try to tell Apple that there is a problem with my file and they tell me they are sorry that I am having trouble with my file but to check the online forums. So I did...and guess what..
    LOTS of people are having trouble with ITunes and video files freezing on 5th Generation IPods.... so whats the deal? I can't go back to previous versions of the software and I have $ 40 worth of downloads that don't play..
    Will Apple admit there is a problem or is there a fix here that I'm missing?

  • Facebook and apps freeze whenever I click anywhere on the page.

    I open Facebook and immediatly the page stops scrolling, the mouse wont move,and every game either doesnt load or freezes.Always takes forever for the game to load if it even tries to load.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

  • Ipod skips songs and / or freezes, won't play any song

    Listening to my ipod I skipped to next track, but no sound came. Looking at display I noticed that the ipod had skipped about twenty tracks. Tried going back to track I wanted to play but ipod wouldn't play it - time display stuck at 0.00 for a few mins then skipped to next track, same problem. Went to completely different track - same problem.
    Checked on itunes - all songs played fine, both those listed under my home hard drive, and those listed under the ipod's drive on itunes.
    Resynched ipod - same problem - initially one or two songs would play, but when trying to play the specific track I first tried, it would skip through the next twenty or so tracks then stop playing anything.
    Tried soft reset - same problem.
    Tried restoring to factory settings - same problem.
    Took to apple store genius bar - they made no attempt to work out what was going wrong, just replaced ipod as it was still under warranty. Got home and resynched all songs - same problem!
    This suggests it is a problem with the song files, but I don't understand why they play fine on itunes. Also, the file type (mp3), bit rate, sample rate, file size, etc is exactly the same in both locations.
    Have tried all troubleshooting tips on this site, and all software is latest version.
    Any ideas?

    Good night, Chris.
    Well, it may have lots of reasons: changing files from original folders, uninstall/install codecs in other programs, errors on iTunes Sync service, deleted .dll's, viruses and etc...
    To easier the work for you, you can do it in all your iTunes library or make a backup of your files and reinstall iTunes (enjoy to update it, if you haven't yet).
    Try "consolidate files" also, it can avoid that iTunes search from the files in wrong places, and automatically organize your .mp3/.aac files.
    In a last tool, try to change the iTunes import preferences.
    Once you are in a high step level, give a glance on this things on:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2199128
    and give a special look to this scripts:

  • Sfari (and Firefox) freeze when I  play Flash content (YouTube/Myspace

    My MacPro has problems playing video and audio on sites such as MySpace and YouTube. I get the spinning wheel and I have to Force Quit.
    I've tried reinstalling the latest FlashPlayer plugin but that hasn't changed things.
    My older, non-Intel, Powerbook can play videos from these sites perfectly, so there can't be a network problem surely.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    I read somewhere that an older version of the player might work better than the latest version - is that true (sounds odd to me but I'm willing to try anything)?

    Hello Hawaian Starman.
    This morning I created a second user account and tried the same websites as on my Admin account.
    It worked better for a few visits, which raised my spirits. But then the spinning wheel returned.
    One thing I notice on the second account, is that I'm not asked to enter a password for Keychain in Safari. Relevant to anything?
    I tried pasting the crash report here but I get an error 500 - data too long in 'body'.

  • I upgraded my iphone 3GS and now it won't play sounds from apps or music. I also cannot sync my music onto my phone.. PLEASE HELP! :(

    Hi Guys
    I recently upgraded my iphone 3GS to the new ioS 5.1. After I did this and synced my phone, it won't let me play any audio from apps, itunes or music. It will allow the phone to ring but that is all. When I use viber I have to press this button and change it from docking to iphone. I take it that the phone thinks I'm permanently on a docking system.
    It also will not sync my music back to my phone. My music is on itunes but it won't let it sync.
    I have restored my phone twice and it still won't work - HELP!! Please???

    Your device is broken.  If you want a device that works better than the one you have now, then you'll either need to bring your phone into Apple for out of warranty exchange ($149), or find a 3rd party repair shop in your area and see what they can do, if anything at all.
