  • Built-in restore session hangs/freezes with too many tabs in Fx 29

    Hi, I've used the Session Manager add on for awhile, ever since a previous 'upgrade' to Firefox tended to not save sessions after a crash.
    The upgrade to version 29 has rendered Session Manager unusable, as documented here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1000544?esab=a&as=aaq
    However I've determined that this seems to be not a problem with Session Manager, but with Firefox's built-in restore functionality. This is because though Session Manager no longer shows at startup, Firefox's native session restore does, and Session Manager can still be accessed through the "Tools" menu. It simply crashes with even a couple hundred tabs, let alone the 1-3k tab sessions I normally use.
    Experimentation has demonstrated several things. (Both session restore and Session Manager work the same way, which tells me that Session Manager is probably built on the session restore function, simply adding support for multiple sessions and better autosaving.)
    1. If I try to restore a large session, even if I remove almost all of my tabs from the restore, it will start to open everything, then (apparently) hang without loading any of the default tabs, and then freeze if I try to do anything at all, including clicking on the search box, trying to scroll, or clicking on another tab.
    2. If I try to open a session with one window and one tab, it will open.
    Not sure if this is relevant, but if I clicked on another tab before it froze, when I do a session restore from the old session it will open with that one that I clicked as the default tab.
    It used to be that Firefox would only load the last tab I was on for each window, and then load others when I clicked on them. I kind of suspect that the upgrade has Firefox now trying to either load all tabs at once (rather than only when I clicked on them, as previously), or at the very least trying to get the metadata from all the pages.
    I know that the sensible solution is to not have more than a few dozen tabs at any one time. But I'm not really a sensible person I've spent the past three hours trying to downgrade. I'm dedicated enough to my silly and obsolescent browsing method that I imagine I will keep trying to downgrade, security and time wastage be damned, until the issue is fixed.
    On the other hand, it occurs that there may already be a patch or new add-on which addresses this issue, and that would be a lot easier than downgrading, which Mozilla quite intentionally makes painfully difficult. Is there an easier way to get my multi-k tab sessions back?
    Thanks,
    LK
    PS: OS is Ubuntu 12.10. I have automatic updates disabled but periodically upgrade my whole system from the Terminal. My last system-wide upgrade was yesterday, the penultimate one was sometime in April, which is why I think the problem starts with Fx 29.

    Hi, I'm a Tab junky...and I'm not changing. I have this issue also. After 2 weeks of utter frustration, not liking any of the roll backs, etc, I dove into other browsers....and found Comodo IceDragon, which is based of Firefox 26.0.... but better. I can't even describe how stable it is, even compared to FF26.
    The only glitches were bringing in my history and passwords. I had to use Password exporter to deal with passwords and had to export my bookmarks and history to Chrome, then into IceDragon because it could not do it directly. But Comodo tech support was fast and very helpful!!
    Give it a roll. It's like old home week, but better.

  • HELP: iTunes 6 unable to sync songs with ipod - hangs freezes crashes

    Hi,
    This has been posted before, but a search of 500 messages have turned up no solutions. Anyone who has any idea of a solution please help.
    PROBLEM:
    iTunes 6 and ipod 5th gen unable to sync songs or manually move more than 50 songs at a time to ipod. It hangs / freezes / crashes when updating the ipod. It will stop at 50 songs, 100 songs, sometimes even 2200 songs - out of 8000.
    The "Beachball of death" comes on, and there is no way to force quit or stop the now frozen update. The only thing that gets a response is pulling the ipod from the dock or powering the computer down manually.
    TRIED:
    1. Repair permissions
    2. Update ipod with latest ipod update software
    3. Restore ipod " " " " '
    4. Used Activity Monitor to see where program hangs - no added info, it will stop randomly at different songs, and next time around it will pick another son to hang / freeze at
    5. uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible" in Energy Preferences pane
    I am at my wits end with this..... will try anything.... even Voodoo at this point as long as you tell me it worked for you!
    Anyone ever solved this long standing problem (which seems to be present with iTunes 7 as well) ?
    Thanks !

  • Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

    Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. I am using windows XP pro and a pretty decent computer. All software is up to date and i do no have a virus. I have even tried to disable my add-ons and plug-ins but it did not make a difference. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

    Please provide a crash id -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report
    Do the issues still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

  • N80 menu crashing phone freezing advice needed

    Hi guys i'm new on here, i've had my N80 12days and now its started to crash and freeze its completely useless to me at the moment as it wont go into any menu. Most calls go straight through to answer phone despite full signal and the battery life is **bleep** - but i've got some tips to improve that.
    I rang orange who said its the softwear and the only way to fix it is to take battery out and replace it, they then said there may be softwear upgrade available.
    I'm not very technical and i've not been able to find anything about this so far.
    My firmwear vision is V.3.0617.06 03/05/2006

    I agree here, I have has some experience with this and have taken quite a few big companes to court and won (i did this with my sendo X and pixmania) because they just try to fob you off, as a buyer you have rights, and as explained above you have the right to purchase a product and that product should work in the way intended for a reasonable amount of time, with many things reasonable actually goes beyond 12 months, but 12 months is just a nice round number.
    When you speak to them just mention the office of fair trading, trading standards and offcom and watch how their attitude changes, if it does not threaten them that you are giving them 7 days notice to rectify your problems or you will take them to small claims court and claim for reimbursment and all costs involved), you can do this online, its very easy and costs about £50 (which you can claim for in the summons).
    As soon as they get the summons (which is usually next day or within 24 hours) they will be more than happy to do whatever is needed to fix your problem because the last thing any company wants is a CCJ, and dont forget to tell them to send you a check for the cost of the claim, if they refuse tell them you will continue with the claim untill they fix your phone AND reimburse you with your costs.
    DONT STOP THE CLAIM UNTILL YOU ARE SATISFIED.
    Its very easy to do, go here

    Trust me if you get no joy through normal measures, then you have to take drastic action, they wouldnt think twice about taking you to court.
    Let us know how you get on ..

  • Crashes and Freezes - too many to count in the last 48 hours

    I generally Love Premiere and the whole CC suite. But this week the program continually freezes and just stops functioning. I've restarted both the program and my computer at least 20 times in the last 48 hours... you can how this is impacting my time and deliverable... which is due today BTW. I've edited a ton of projects in premiere but lately it seems to be crashing and freezing ALOT. I'm a professional and my demands are professional. Its when my tools start to let me down that I become disappointed and discouraged.
    My question is WHY?
    I would think that by now Premiere would be rock solid. Why is it not?

    I *think* I found one of the issues... Red Giant Universe plugins seem to freeze up the system. So I yanked them off all my timelines and the freezing seemed to stop.
    I also had strange issues with Red Epic footage and I believe the culprit for those was the Red Gamma 4 setting. Not scientific by any means but...

  • Windows 8.1 & server2012R2 both crash or freeze on this machine

    Hi there
    I have this weird problem with this machine.
    An assus laptop, i5 4Gb ram with a wifi card from intel "Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN"
    For work i had installed in it server2012R2 cause i needed a server on the go for testing purposes.
    The problem was that it was not stable , it would BSOD and reboot of completely freeze and only respond to a forced power off(permanent press of the power button).
    This was completely random, and whats weird it would happen on the same locations (3 different labs) while never happen on the other 2 labs.
    When the system crashed or freezes once it was impossible to use the machine because it would freeze again on the first 1-2 minutes of the next boot.
    I tried safe mode and the system didn't suffer from none of this issues. So its a driver problem most probably.
    I tried safe mode with networking and the system freezed once again. So it is network drivers problem most probably.
    On the lab where i connected through ethernet this did not happen. Crashes happened only when i was connected on wifi or even when i was not connected at all (on the next reboots it would freeze instantly once on the desktop and i did not have time to connect
    to wifi at all).
    All the drivers are up to date, specially the wifi ones intel has released a newer(v. 15.10.4.2) one and even with that the problem persists(windows update has version 15.10.0.12 for the wifi driver).
    So i thought it was a problem caused by some kind of incompatibility with the server kernel.
    Got another machine for the server system.
    On the assus machine i then installed win 8.1 , did all the updates and installed all the drivers.
    Since here fine working for 2 days, but as soon as i got in one of the labs(where i had the issue with the server2012R2) after 15min if crashed with a bsod this time.It did save a crash dump and a memory dump. All next reboots the system freezes after 30sec
    to 2 min.
    I opened the Memory.dmp on win debugger and through the lines something like this was shown

    So can you guys understand anything from all this? Is the wifi driver the real problem here?
    I can upload the memory dump and the minidump if you want.Even viewer shows nothing is all cases ,even though if you want to have a look at them i can uplaod that too.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    has the OS on this machine been cloned at any time? We have experienced strange behavior recently with some VMs, here it wasn't cloned, but the MAC address was the same on another VM from another server.
    I could imagine, that an identical MAC address on WIFI adapters could cause some confusion also resulting in crashes.
    Or there is an electrical device, power supply what ever sending signals which disturb the WIFI adapter in your machine. Would it run stable if you change the room or the location in the room to a place as far as possible from the one you are using now?
    This is now crystal ball science and hard to track down.
    Best greetings from Germany

    Hi Olaf
    No, both the server 2012r2 and win8.1 were clean installs. And i can eliminate the possibility of an electromagnetic interference because this thing is happening is many different location totally unrelated to each other.(it would crash even in places with
    a single Access Point and nothing else around).
    Today it crashed once again when i tried to connect at my phone tethering Access Point. This time with a  bsod and it saved a dump so i'm uploading this too. After the crash it did freeze on the next reboot.
    The dump says it was Netio.sys this time
    Probably caused by : NETIO.SYS ( NETIO!NsiEnumerateObjectsAllParametersEx+5c2 )

    On the second reboot i connected a wired cable to the ethernet adapter(it connects to a lan network) and then connected by Wireless to the Access Point and magically it did not freeze.
    Before this crash i had applied all the steps Yolanda suggested in the previous post but as you can see they gave no results.
    Dumps are still being uploaded. As soon as they finish i'll post the links here.
    Regards

  • New to Apple TV - do they all crash and freeze like this?

    I have had mine for about 10 days. I have had it freeze (and do the diagnostics/restart) about 15 times.
    I am starting to get the hang of it. It seems to hate a bunch of my videos (encoded home movies mostly - used Handbrake and VisualHub's Apple TV setting). I can get it to crash 'on demand' on a few videos.
    What gives with the crashing? Can't it just choke on a video and refuse to play? Many times the crashing does not seem to be specific to a video though.
    I have tried the diagnostics - it reported that it was fine. I tried the system restore .. still having trouble. I am thinking if I restore it again I should stick to the first firmware (ie: not update). Might that help?
    Things are working better with the sync'ing now that I know that iTunes must be open - and I disabled the Windows 7 firewall rather than just poking the hole for the port Apple was requesting.
    Anyway - I am really disappointed. The iPhone remote is great, I love having my iTunes library in sync - but lack of 1080p and these crashes are driving my family crazy. I am probably gonna return it, but hoping for some ideas...

    do they all crash and freeze like this?
    No, they don't.
    Take a look at this document to see what formats are supported and how to properly convert them.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1532
    This next document is very specific as to the formats that will play.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP19
    iTunes has the ability to convert movies to the proper format. So does Quicktime Pro. For the record, though, I have converted a number of videos using the Mac version of Handbrake and have had no issues what-so-ever playing those files.

  • The "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem that existed in all versions of Firefox 3.6 persists in Firefox 4.0

    Starting on April 14, 2011, I tried installing Firefox 4.0, which I downloaded from the Mozilla site. The first couple of times I tried to install it, it corrupted Firefox file places.sqlite. I know this because the install renamed the file to places.sqlite.corrupt. Luckily, I had recent backups. My previous installed versions were 3.5.18, which I had been using up to this time, and 3.6.16. I tried installing 4.0 with 3.6.16 installed, which I installed only for the sake of installing 4.0, and with no previous version installed and got the same bad results. I finally got a "successful" install on April 16, 2011, with no previous version installed.
    Early on I discovered that Firefox 4.0 hangs (Firefox not responding) when left to idle for exactly 5 minutes (I timed it several times after immediately starting Firefox), pegging a constant 50% of the CPU when it hangs. I left it in a hanging state for up to half an hour, but nothing changed. This problem existed for all versions of Firefox 3.6, which is why I didn't install version 3.6.16 until I was ready to install version 4.0. I never kept any version of Firefox 3.6 installed for more than a couple of hours because of this problem. I need to be able to let Firefox stay idle for long periods of time -- certainly for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds -- without having it hang, and I was able to do that with all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6. It's incomprehensible that Firefox 4.0 has to always hang if it's inactive for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds, and it's incomprehensible that this problem has been present and persistent since version 3.6 was introduced. To believe that 4 minutes and 59 seconds is sufficient idle time for a browser is absurd. This was never an issue with any version of Firefox prior to version 3.6, this was never an issue with Netscape, and it's not an issue with IE 8.
    There are 2 other problems related to the hanging problem. If the browser and the bookmarks library are both open and the browser is closed normally, the bookmarks library remains open. After being left idle for exactly 5 minutes, the bookmarks library hangs, pegging a constant 50% of the CPU. If Firefox 4.0 is restarted before the 5 minute idle limit, it starts successfully. If an attempt is made to restart it after the 5 minute idle limit, it won't start. If the bookmarks library is left open for less than 5 minutes after the browser is closed, it can be closed successfully. In all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6, the bookmarks library automatically closed when the browser was closed. The other related problem is that Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU without hanging even while it is being used and even if the only thing open is the home page, which in my case is google.com. Firefox can be used while this is happening, but it is worrisome and shouldn't be happening. Normally, Firefox 4.0 uses no CPU when it is left to idle within the 5 minute idle limit.
    Firefox 4.0 has not crashed on its own yet, so I've had no crash reports to send to Mozilla, but because I've had to use the "End Now" button on the Microsoft unresponsive program window numerous times to terminate it when it hangs, numerous Microsoft Windows dump reports have been generated, all of which I've sent to Microsoft.
    The last fully working version of Firefox I had was 3.5.18. Unfortunately, I don't have the installer for that version and Mozilla doesn't make it available anymore. Also, it looks like version 4.0 altered the places.sqlite file such that I might not be able to go back to version 3.5.18 even if I could. If I could reinstall version 3.5.18 and get it to work with the altered places.sqlite file, I would, but it is outdated and no longer supported by Mozilla, and I only want to use up-to-date and supported software.
    The hanging problem is totally intolerable and unacceptable. If I can't get a version of Firefox 4.0 anytime soon that doesn't hang after being idle for just 5 minutes (why 5 minutes???) or for any limited amount of time, I'll have to install and use Google Chrome as a permanent replacement for Firefox. (If I do have to replace Firefox with Google Chrome, how can I get my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links to open in Google Chrome when I click on them?) Based on other user feedback regarding this problem dating back to the very first Firefox 3.6 version, Mozilla has had ample time to resolve it. I have found other problems with Firefox 4.0, but I'm not going to bother telling Mozilla about them because if the hanging problem isn't resolved soon, I'll have to stop using Firefox permanently. I can't and won't tolerate the hanging problem. I have been using Firefox exclusively for many years, but my disappointment with it has been growing since version 3.6 was introduced and my patience has run out.
    I would appreciate Mozilla letting me know within a week of this posting if they can't or won't fix the Firefox 4.0 hanging problem. If I don't receive a substantive response to this problem within a week, I'm going to have to abandon Firefox permanently and switch to Google Chrome. I'm also going to leave a negative review of Firefox 4.0 on CNET to warn other potential users of the hanging problem.
    I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition 32-bit SP3 on a Dell XPS 400 desktop computer. I have an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 3.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 RAM @ 265MHz, RADEON X300 SE 128MB HyperMemory, and 190GB of free space on my hard drive. I am using COMODO as my firewall and Avira AntiVir as my anti-virus software. I am also using WinPatrol and Secunia PSI. My ISP is AT&T. My download speed averages 2.5 Mbps, and my upload speed averages 0.65 Mbps. All of my software is up to date, thanks to Secunia PSI and CNET TechTracker, and my computer is free from infection.

    Another aspect of the Firefox 4.0 "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem has emerged. I have found that on the common occurrence when Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU while idling within the 5 minute idle limit and I close it normally, it disappears from the Task Bar but continues to run and continues to peg a constant 50% of the CPU. I tried restarting Firefox 4.0 and got the following message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Before Firefox can be restarted, the existing Firefox process must be killed via the Task Manager or Process Explorer (I use the latter), after which a Microsoft Windows dump report is immediately generated. I always allow the dump to be sent to Microsoft.
    The three big questions that have gone unanswered by Mozilla are 1) why did the hanging problem start with the very first release of Firefox 3.6, 2) why was the problem allowed to continue on up to and through Firefox 4.0, and 3) why hasn't Mozilla fixed the problem yet? And what is the significance of the 5 minute idle limit? Do Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 try to launch something when the browser and/or the bookmarks library have been idle for exactly 5 minutes? Maybe it's a problem with the number and/or type of plugins and extensions and/or the number of bookmarks. Maybe Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 work just fine if there are few to no plugins, extensions, and bookmarks, but that doesn't realistically accommodate users. Whatever the cause of the problem, Mozilla should have had a handle on it by now.
    If anyone from Mozilla Support is reading this post, please let me know if it is possible to roll back Firefox 4.0 to Firefox 3.5.18. If it is possible, how do I do it, and where can I get the installer for Firefox 3.5.18? If I can reinstall it, I'll use it until Secunia Software Inspector informs me that it is insecure and no longer safe to use. At that point (maybe much sooner), I'll switch to Google Chrome exclusively because I don't want to use outdated software that is insecure and because I don't believe that Mozilla intends to fix the hanging problem and is willing to lose users over it. I certainly don't want to use software like Firefox 4.0 that has such an impactful problem. If I do have to abandon Firefox, how can I click on Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links and get them to open in Google Chrome?

  • Issues with Quark Xpress Hang/Freeze when focus is shifted to anything else

    I've been working on this issue since the 28th of Dec.
    I've been in contact with Quark. They're still examining crash log.
    I thought I'd share what is on my plate in hopes others might have had, and solved similar experience.
    This message will be verbose in hope of giving the uber-guru answers to questions in advance of their being asked.
    First portion will contain a log of actions taken and results there of.
    Second will be the typical Quark Crash log I've been getting when the application is quit.
    I will mention as well that I've received a clean bill of health from TechToolPro, DiskWarrior, etceteras, as well as Passed the tests from Apple Hardware Tests.
    Let me know if I can provide any additional info
    Log of Actions
    Installation of new Quark, up to 6.5 only.
    Completed at 5:27pm
    Launching Quark under New User at 5:28
    Launch successful.
    Created one file. Saved file, selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
    Quark still operating. added text, saved, and closed document.
    selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
    Quark still operating.
    Manually quit quark from application menu at 5:33.
    Application successfully "quit" without "crashing"
    Repeating the procedure above at 5:34
    Launched quark via double-click of previously saved file.
    added text, saved, selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
    Quark still operating.
    selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
    Quark still operating.
    quit quark from cmd-tab cmd-q method causes "unexpected crash"
    Ran several similar scenarios, with this as conclusion:
    Launching quark from double click of application, creation of new document, saving, and quitting in ANY fashion allows safe quit
    Launching Quark, opening from save/open dialog box an existing document, then quit with or without edit, using cmd-tab cmd-q allows safe quit
    Double-clicking existing document to launch Quark, then closing document after edit and save or immediately, quark Unexp. Crash occurs with Cmd-Tab Cmd-Q every time.
    Double-clicking existing documents to launch Quark, then closing document after edit and save, then create new document, with save and close, quark Unexp. Crash occurs with Cmd-Tab Cmd-Q every time.
    Launching of Quark 6.50 under base user
    Launching Quark, opening from save/open dialog box an existing document, then quit with or without edit, using cmd-tab cmd-q allows safe quit
    Double-clicking existing document to launch Quark, then closing document after edit and save or immediately, quark Unexp. Crash occurs with Cmd-Tab Cmd-Q every time.
    Double-clicking existing documents to launch Quark, then closing document after edit and save, then create new document, with save and close, quark Unexp. Crash occurs with Cmd-Tab Cmd-Q every time.
    Launching Quark, creating file, saving, selected finder, then text editor, the quark.
    Quark hangs/freezes until force-quit
    it seems there are two issues at hand.
    unexpected crashes occur with cmd-tab cmd-q in either Base or New user logins when quark launch was initiated by double-click of file from finder.
    and
    unexplained application hangs/freezes when under base user.

      Should I buy an enclosure for my HD and see if I can get it going externally?  Would that be the best way to see if it is the drive and not the cable?  An enclosure is cheaper than buying a new SATA cable, so I'm hoping that's where I can start.
    Yes.  See if the HDD will boot the MBP via a USB connection.  You should probably have an external HDD for backups or a possible replacement of your boot drive.
    Ciao.

    I'm using Premiere Elements 10.0 and an am having a lot of trouble.  On a simple project (just half a dozen video clips with audio and some DVD menu stuff) I din't have much trouble. However my bigger project (which is the reason I bought PRE10) isn't working well at all.  My pc specs are at the bottom of the post.
    Issue 1.  about a third of the time, when starting PRE10, the opening welcome screen comes up, I hit 'Open Project', it start to load, then gets an error.  With this error I also get an entry in windows event viewer, application log of:  Faulting application adobe premiere elements.exe, version 10.0.0.0, faulting module gdiplus.dll, version 5.2.6002.22509, fault address 0x0000f47d. 
    If I get past that bug, the PRE sometimes just freezes up (a couple times with the audio track still playing, but otherwise frozen).
    After many frustrating hours, I think I'm close to having my project complete, and now PRE won't render and create a file.  I've tried just a short snippet, or the entire thing - either way it renders for a while (just a few minutes), then gives the subject line error message - "Unknown error" isn't very helpful!   Once, after getting this error an I let it sit there a whle, it then gave the same gdipluss.dll fault that I typically see on startup.
    I'd love to have all of these issues solved, but I most important thing is being about to get some sort of output!  I've tried a variety of output format, all do the same thing (mpeg2, avchd, dvd, hdtv, etc.)
    Thanks

    Details:
    - video format is AVCHD (m2ts) coming from a Panasonic HDC-TM90.
    - mostly a single video track with audio, sometimes a second video track layered on top
    - narration track in .wav format
    - soundtrack in .wav format
    - roughly 30 minutes long
    - video files are coming off of the external usb 500GB drive
    - I've played with setting the rendering location to the mostly empty E: drive or the mostly full C: drive - no difference
    - I see from other posts about crashes that a key question is what is the project format set to.  How do I tell??  I chose that a month back (been working on this off and on for a while...) and I don't remember, and don't see how to check the current settings.

    For the Project Settings, choose Edit>Project Settings, and you can see them all, with the General Tab (most important), Capture (should not affect your Project), Video Rendering (again, should not have much info for you now), and Default Timeline (defines how the Timeline is set up initially, and not of any real use here).
    Now, and with the Source Files and Project on your E:\, or your external HDD, how much free-space is on your C:\. That can be very important, especially as with only 2GB RAM, you WILL be using your Windows Page File (Virtual Memory) often, and heavily.
    Now, though this is covered in one of the links in the PrE Crashing & Hanging article (Memory & Resources), how is your Page File managed, and is it located on your C:\?
    Also, is your Project file (the PREL) located with the Source Files, on either E:\, or your external HDD? I know that you have tried several locations. Also, where are your Scratch Disks (Edit>Preferences) set to? Those can be very large, and if one has them pointed to a nearly full HDD, can crash things.
    Last, at least for now, is your F:\ your external HDD? If so, it is formatted FAT-32, and that limits file sizes to ~ 4GB. This ARTICLE will tell you how to Convert a FAT-32 HDD to NTSF.
    Good luck,

  • Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

    Hello all,
    Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
    I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
    The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
    Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
    So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
    Greetings
    Erik-Jan Vriens

    Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
    In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
    One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
    Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

  • 27" iMac startup hangs freezes

    I have a 27" iMac and am having trouble starting up. I get the startup chime but the startup hangs or freezes and the iMac tries to restart again after a little while.
    So I tried starting up from a Techtools CD in the external drive (there is no internal CD drive on the iMac). Unfortunately the iMac would not start from the CD and the CD is now stuck in the external drive. I was able to eject the CD by holding down the mouse button or trackpad while restarting. I tried starting up from an OS X 10.6.3 install DVD but it didn't seem to read it while holding down the C key at startup.
    I tried a PRAM zap (holding down the Option + Cmd + P + R keys for two or three chimes) but the startup still hangs freezes.
    I tried starting up holding down Cmd + S to boot Unix but I don't really know Unix so only entered exit.
    I tried starting up holding down Cmd + R which I think is the recovery system but the startup still got stuck.
    Holding down the Shift key while starting up brings up the "safe mode" and a grey bar which didn't fill before it disappeared and the startup froze.
    Holding down the Option key while starting up brought up the hard drive to select as the startup disk but startup still hung.
    Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for getting back to me quickly.
    I get the startup chime when the iMac starts up, the little daisy goes around a few times but then gets stuck. The iMac will shut itself down and continue to try to restart.
    Holding down Shift during startup brings up the safe mode grey bar on the bottom of the screen but this fills only to about one-third before the startup freezes.
    I tried starting up holding down the C key with a OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) install DVD in an external CD/DVD drive but just as you said, it would not boot from that.
    I tried holding down the D key at startup to perform the Apple Hardware Test. Even the extended test did not detect any hardware problems.
    Holding Cmd + R during startup would not start the recovery mode for me. However, holding Option down at startup did give me the choice of the Recovery 10.8.2 partition. Unfortunately, this froze as it was starting up too.
    So I tried your suggestion of holding down Opt + Cmd + R to boot from Apple's remote servers. This started up but even then froze too.
    I think you might be right that it could be a logic board problem. So I will take it in for repair.
    Thanks Ralph, I much appreciate your help with this.

  • Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents

    Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents. Particularly, when I need any flash content. It freezes up so that the only option will be to force quit the firefox.

    I've noticed the crashing increasing with the newer versions. The worst thing is when I'm writing a long email and then go to a page with flash and ff locks up and then crashes. I use IE now for most flash content or mission critical emailing but IE's interface is poorly laid out so I don't like it. I've tried FF with the plugin container and without it and it crashes either way (more often without the container). I use adblock and firebug. I wonder if ppl experiencing this prob are using those plugins too.
