N79 - the clock "freezes" until I start a program
I have the latest (v31) firmware, but this happened with the older ones as well. Sometimes (1 out of 10 times or so) I take the phone, lock the keypad and put it in my pocket. After 5 minutes I look at it and the clock displays the time from 5 minutes ago! Pressing buttons doesn't help. The only thing that makes the clock resume with the correct time is if I start a program or if I enter the main menu. Then the clock snaps to the correct time, so 5 minutes get added instantly.
31.002. I wasn't aware there was any other 31.x version at the moment...

Hi, I downloaded, activated, registered both on my laptop and desktop Adobe CC InDesign and Illustrator. I am paying a monthly fee. The problem is, when I start my program, it keeps asking me to register my program and it says my free trial is over.
Can you check into this for me.If you want Adobe to check it you'll need to contact them (use CHAT) but you could try checking whether you just need to SIGN IN to your apps.

Whcih model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
Which version of OS X are you running?

Hello,
I have a Mac Book Pro. The screen freeze right after starting the OS.
I can not move my mouse (usb or pad), Typing has no effect.
-> I switch OFF/ON many times: do not work
->I tried safe mode, but nothing work
->I tried Reboot/Startup holding your Command-S key down. But I can not type anything.
The clock is still working, and the airport still find if internet is ON.
It seems that everything work except the mouse and keyboard....
BUT during the re--boot, if I press Shift and power -on. the computer start in Safe mode....but then nothing....
Only the POWER button is working.
Please help.....I still need help.
I went to the apple store, plugged my computer into their monitor, keyboard and mouse. It worked fine. For over an hour I clicked on everything and did just about everything I can think of that I usually do. I changed settings in preferences, turned off the screen saver and turned it back on, turned off putting the computer to sleep and back on, restarted multiple times and the keyboard and mouse worked fine. So, we determined that I must need a new keyboard and mouse.
I set up my computer this morning and it worked fine. But when I came back and tried to wake it up from the screensaver I got no reaction. pushed the power button lightly a couple of times to force the ask for password screen to come up, when I tried to type my password in nothing happened. So then I forced the computer to shut down by holding the power button down for three seconds (the one on the monitor). Then started up, mouse wouldn't work. So, I thought it must be the usb port on the monitor that is bad. I shut down. plugged the keyboard into the back of my mac instead of the monitor.
All seemed great. Computer response even seemed faster. I thought I had solved my problem. I was using the computer for probably less than 30 minutes and then while I was using it the mouse froze. Computer would accept no input from the keyboard either, like clicking F11 for expose reaction.
I'm back to square one. What else should I try?????
Any ideas out there???
Thanks in advance.

Dear Friends, Please help me in resolving this problem. I have a MAC G4. OS X is installed on it. The OS freezes as it starts up. No icon appears on the desktop. I have the Restore CD and the Mac OS X installation CDs. I have data on the MAC.

You need to post your question in the appropriate OS X forum. See below.
Using OS X Panther 10.3 and earlier @ http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=745
Using OS X Tiger 10.4 @ http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=758
You need to provide more info when you repost your question. What model G4 do you have? What OS X version are you using? I doubt that you are using OS X 10.0.0, since it is obsolete. Has the Mac been operating OK before this problem occurred? Will the Mac boot from the Restore or install CD?
Cheers, Tom -
I Have reviewed the support article on issues with time and date and have tried all the recommended solutions but I am still having the clock freezing issue on my 5c. I have noticed that when I turn the airplane mode on then off that briefly fixes/updates the time. But the clock doesn't stay correct for long and will later be the wrong time again. i can't figure out if this is a phone issue or a cellular issue. Anyone have any ideas/solutions?
I feel your pain, though I would recommend the 9850 that Verizon does have out. It's a HUGE improvement on the Storm 2. I would switch to it myself but T-Mobile doesn't offer it. So, I'm waiting on BB10 myself.
That being said, you can make a backup of your device before wiping the data. That way you don't lose all your contacts, etc. I would recommend making the backup, wiping the device and seeing how the device responds with no data on it. If it solves the problems then simply add back the databases that you really need from the backup file.
If it doesn't solve the problem then a reload of the OS may be the next step before restoring the backup file.

I have had an Apple TV for over a year. I use it mainly to stream programs from Netflix, and up until a few months ago, I had no poroblems. Now it has become impossbile to watch a Netflix program on my TV because the film freezes every couple of minutes, or less, and seems to be downloading. It starts again, but the same thing happens in a couple of mnutes more. I have tried pausing the film for a few minutes to let it download, and I have even started a film, and then paused it, half an hour before starting to watch it, hoping that this would allow the entire film, or most of it, to download, but it hasn't helped. I don't have this problem when I download directly from Netflix onto my laptop, but then I don't need Apple TV. Of course, I'd rather watch films on my TV than on my laptop. Any suggestions other than buying a new Apple TV after just over a year?
I also found the following post about a TV interfering with wireless networking:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17354146#17354146
When I was searching I also found similar problems with screen brightness affecting wireless networking in iPads and MacBooks. So it seems like screen backlighting can generate wireless interference. The joy of technology. -
IMac starts with sound but remains with Apple logo and the clock running indefinetely
After software upgrade ( from mavericks to new mavericks ) iMac doesn't start anymore. It remains always in the same mode: after the sound of start the Apple logo and the clock that runs indefinitely without the start of the software. Someone knows what to do?
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. -
After upgrading to ios 7.03 my ipad freezes, but the clock still works
Hi, after upgrading to iOS 7.03 my ipad freezes, but the clock is still running. So i reset it and it works again. I'm using the logitech solar keyboard folio with it. It has worked flawlessly before the upgrade. It seems to happen intermittently. When it first happened I had the keyboard lock on. Then the screen was black, but when connecting it to my pc, itunes could recognize the ipad and I could backup everything. It happened occasionally, so I removed the keyboard lock. This seemed to help at first, but now it freezes anyways. Only difference is I can see the background and my apps on one of the pages. And the clock is running.
Help much appriciated.Both of you please choose the correct forum to start a new topic thread. Classic has nothing to do with iOS.

AppleTV freezes until 'screensaver' is started. Then it loads media.
I have a MacBook Pro attached via Firewire 800 to a 2 TB external hard drive. Apple Airport Express extending signal to and Apple Airport Extreme router. AppleTV is streaming media. All systems 100% up to date.
Everytime I start my AppleTV, it shows the movies/music/tvshows initially and while i'm scrolling through it then freezes until the 'screensaver' (currently my MobileMe pictures) turns on. Once this happens, the media is loaded and i can resume scrolling or playing my media. It usually happens only once during my AppleTV session.
Is this because the cache in ATV is low or my home network is feeding too much data across too many 'systems'? I've tried connecting the external hard drive directly to the Airport Extreme router but it still freezes until the screensaver turns on.My guess is the screensaver part is not relevant (could be wrong though). Since this happens after you start your tv I suspect it is merely updating it's library during which time it becomes a little unresponsive. perhaps the time your library takes to update is approximately the same amount of time before the screensaver appears (or perhaps the screensaver doesn't start until the unresponsive period is over).

Macbook Pro won't start most of the time; freezes constantly.
I always come to these forums for answers and I've always found them, so I thank you in advance for everything you do. Unfortunately, I can't find an answer for this one...
My Macbook Pro 13" (early 2008?, maybe mid-2008?) had a weird thing happen this morning where a whole bunch of applications froze up. I could still move the mouse, though. It got so bad that I just shut my computer down by holding the power button. When I tried to restart, it came up with a gray screen and nothing happened. Then I tried it again, and it couldn't find the startup directory (folder with question mark). I then restarted the computer and held down option, specifying the start-up directory as the hard drive. It accepted the command, but didn't start up, so I was forced to power it down again. I then tried to repeat this, but when I pressed the option key just after start-up, it just shut down immediately. This happened several times.
Some hours later I got the computer to start up again after using the restore disk (option, then select), and reinstalling Mavericks. I was able to run disk utility, which showed no problems with the hard drive. I looked at console and I'm getting constant error messages for a variety of reasons:

And that one happened on startup.
I'm running the computer right now, and nothing has gone wrong, yet. Of course, the error messages are still there, so I don't think anything has changed, I'm just trying to run as few applications as possible and I'm only on this website.

I get the sense that there's a lot of crap on this computer that I ought to get rid of, but I'm not sure if this is causing the problem.
Also, I just installed 10.9.3 yesterday.
Thanks again for any help you can provide!Well, the computer stopped starting up at all. It could never find the operating system. I tried safe mode and virtually every other non-standard start-up option. I then did target disk mode with another MBP and got the message: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I then tried using disk utility and it couldn't retrieve retrieve the data using restore (writing to an external drive). I suspect that this means the hard drive would need to be replaced. In your expert opinions, is this necessarily true? Could this still be just a software problem, or perhaps some other piece of hardware?
Part of the reason I ask is that this laptop is now nearly five years old. It's needed a new battery for two years. If it's a virtual certainty that the hard drive is toast, I don't want to pay $150 for someone to take it out and try to recover any remaining data from it, only to reveal that the data is indeed irretrievable (since the computer itself is probably only worth $300-400 at this point). The nearest Genius Bar is also more than 2 hours away. Am I going about this the right way by using disk utility, given that the hard drive won't mount to the desktop of the other computer? If the hard drive can't be reat in target disk mode, does that confirm that it is the hard drive?
Thanks
Oh also, it does still make the startup noise, even though I can't run the AHT since I can't get it to start up in safemode. I thought this mean that it passing various hardware tests. Does this not apply to the hard drive?

I attempted to update my iPhone 4 from ioS 5 to ioS 6 from iTunes on my laptop using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything seemed to be going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though was the update process, when an error window opened up and it said that an error had occured and the iPhone 4 could not be updated. I have never had a problem like this before and it caught me off guard and I did not note all the information in the error window, but it did not appear to indicate anything other than that I would have to abort the update and did not think it would be that big of a problem. I tried to disconnect the phone and was going to do the update at a different time when I could investigate what the problem was. However I could not get iTunes to recognize the iPhone 4 after this and still cannot. After rebooting the laptop a few times and also trying to reset the phone a few times as well, I just have a dead phone. The iPhone 4 just has the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon for iTunes. I have tried to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone, but cannot get it to. I am unable to do anything else with the phone. It seems like the phone is in a state where it does not have enough software loaded to do anything or I don’t know how to get it to. Any suggestions how I can get my iPhone 4 back into service. Note: iTunes still recognizes my iPad and iPods, so iTunes seems to be okay to me. Craig
I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3. Any suggestions?
Solution discovered. Faulty connector cable. Tried a different one and it worked.
