N97 NAM with crash issues... Anyone else?

My N97 arrived today and aside being fairly impressive (and having a manual marked as a draft copy for some reason), it's been... A pretty unstable experience. I'm having sporadic but fairly frequent crashes, most of the time either fading to black and rebooting, or having some sort of freeze so severe it causes the image on the LCD to just fade away before going dark and hanging there until the power button is held to force it off. I've done a format through the home screen, in case some of my older apps were giving v5 headaches. Doesn't seemed to have helped just yet. Anyone have an idea if this is hardware or a bug in the initial firmware?

This is the fairly visually impressive crash I've been seeing with GPS apps. Using Ovi Maps 3 here, but that's just what I was using here... Can even happen in the camera app with GPS on. Note that the error occurred before I loaded Maps 3, so that's not a cause.
Apologies for the quality of course, I'm more a stills sort of guy.

2 hrs & 1.8GB lost as illust CC download crashes. Anyone else have problems with this?

2 hrs & 1.8GB lost as illust CC download crashes. Anyone else have problems with this? (It was completely downloaded & just about to install and then it dropped out)

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't work...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

My new Airport Extreme 802.11n causes my PPC G5 to crash. Anyone else had this issue?

Any solutions? I just got my 5th generation Airport Extreme, set it up on my MacBook (OS X.5.8), and my PPC iMac (OSX.4.9) is having Kernal panic attacks whenever I try & join the new network. I;m now back on my old Airport settings and it doesn;t crash. Clearly it's the new Airport.

Every time I try to use the "crop" tool, Aperture crashes. Anyone else have that problem?

Every time I try to use the "crop" tool, Aperture crashes. Anyone else have that problem?

It's an old installation, 2.1.4. I'm running OS 10.9
That is the problem. Aperture 2 is not fully compatible with MacOS X 10.9; the crop-tool, the Loupe, some brushes no longer work reliably in the newer MacOS X version. And I really doubt, that there will be bug-fixes for Aperture 2 on Mavericks. These incompatibilities started with MacOS X Lion, and have gotten worse with each new operating system release.
To run Aperture with Mavericks you will need to update to Aperture 3.5. for full compatibility.
Do you also have older plug-ins installed, that might be incompatible with Mavericks? Check with the developer's website, if there are updates for any plug-ins.

Does adding a Goggle AdSense crash for anyone else?

I started looking into Google AdSense today and at first it was 50/50 whether iWeb would add an AdSense object or would crash... now it's 100%. Does adding a Google AdSense routinely crash for anyone else? Is this a know issue? is there a workaround?
I've tried:
- restarting my mac
- deleting the test web pages and starting over
- deleting the site and ALL pages, just to start fresh
- adding via the icon at the bottom of the screen, and adding via the menu item
Thanks,
Jeff

Howdy MacRocker,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start with troubleshooting an issue like this where you're unable to load certain websites in Safari, I suggest that you clear out your browser history and website data.

Games crashing on XP with boot camp, anyone else have this problem?

I got my new MacBook for christmas (2.4 ghz & 4GB ram) and have just put XP on it using boot camp.
I've updated to SP3 and updated all drivers from the apple disk and internet, the problem I'm having is the games play fine for about 10mins and then the fans go into overdrive and after a few more minutes the game crashes and freezes. This happens with every game I have installed.
Anyone else having this problem, know a fix?
Sound like software or hardware issue?
Cheers

Hi
It sounds like the HD is the problem (either hardware or software related). My vote is "hardware". However, try the following steps in the event the problem is software related.
First, hold down the shift key on the start-up. This puts the computer start-up into Safe Mode. If the HD is recognized as the start-up disk, then continue through the log-in. When the start-up is finished, restart the computer, this time without holding down the shift key.
If it doesn't work, there may be HD directory corruption. To "repair the disk" insert your Tiger Installer DVD (disk 1). After it loads, restart the system, holding down the C key when the screen turns dark. Once the grey Apple screen appears you can let go of the C key.
When the DVD is fully loaded, select Disk Utility in the Utility menu. A window will open showing your HD on the left. Single click on your HD, then select "repair disk" in the lower right of the screen. If errors appear during the "repair", rerun the utility until you get a clean pass. Depending on the Then quit the Utility and Installer, letting the computer restart.
As an aside, repairing permissions using the Installer DVD sets the system's permissions to those in use for the OS X version on that DVD. If your HD has a later version of OS X, it is possible that the incorrect permissions were set when you used Disk Utility in the Installer DVD to repair them. Best approach is to use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder after logging-in, rather than the Installer Disc.

Motion 3 Export Issues, Anyone Else?

I've run into two issues after the 3.0.1 udpate...
1. In the export dialog, when I click on the "Options..." button to tweak the export settings, nothing happens, I don't get the expanded dialog... this is happening on two of my machines.
2. Using the "Export using Compressor..." option from the File menu doesn't do anything... doesn't launch Compressor, nothing. And again, this is happening on two of my machines, one with a brand new hard drive, fresh system install and brand new FCPS2 install.
Anyone else have these issues?
I also openend a project I started in 3.0.0 and now the output has bizarre random lines with strange colorings all over it... talk about frustrating. The exact project rendered before the update renders perfectly fine.

I'm having the exact same problem right now. Exporting with compressor actually makes my system crash - before the upgrade everything was working perfectly. If I find anything out I'll be sure to post....

T440p freeze with display corruption - anyone else?

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced crashing with display corruption similar to this:
Link to image
It happens randomly 1-3 times per day, and I have been unable to reproduce on demand.
memtest86 and Lenovo's memory testing utility both pass.
No critical events are logged in Event Viewer, other than "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first."
Problem occurs both docked and undocked.
Open files were often corrupted (overwritten with 0's) - this was resolved by disabling write caching on the drive.
I've just about run out of ideas and this is incredibly frustrating. I found a github issue for Linux which might be related.
System:
T440p w/4700MQ and NVIDIA 730m
RAM 16GB (Patriot PSD316G1333SK)
SSD 256GB (SanDisk SDSSDHP256G)
HDD 500GB in UltraBay (HGST HTS725050A7E6300)
Windows 8.1

Hi -
I'm wondering if the issue reported by mixdio is related to resuming from Sleep also.
Though, I am not encountering corruption, I too have an issue with that same SATA drive (hgst hts725050A7E6300), when resuming from Sleep. My issue is that I continually receive "Problem Ejecting ... (hgst hts725050A7E6300)" (after waking from Sleep and logging in).
I originally encountered this about a year ago. I just basically kept up on (Lenovo) System Updates and Windows Updates, ensured the drive in the UltraBay was locked in, and dismissed the error as false weirdness. Unfortunately, last Summer, that drive went corrupt and was unrecoverable.
(my SSD on controller 0 went defunct as well - very bad sucky time - also a learning lesson: SSD like any other hardware device, even though it doesn't have moving parts, like memory, CPU, etc - they can all go bad ... I just look down and shake my head everytime I hear someone praise SSD like it's some Technological Messiah ... so foolish)
But last Fall, I was able to correct it by running the "Fix for issue of HDD with HD detection for Windows 7" update (and starting the service in TaskScheduler - which is not outlined in the instructions).
Now, for some odd reason, I am again encountering the error. And now I am basically going through Events and finding what I can on that drive and searching for other "resume from sleep on Windows 7" issues.
I'm on a W530 running Win7 Pro 64

IMac Sleep issues -- anyone else ??

I noticed there was some kind of recall for sleep/wake-up issues with the MacBook (pro?) but not the iMac. I've been having the following go on since I got my iMac about a month ago:
Intermittently wakes up from sleep -- sometimes when I'm in the same room reading, sometimes if I put it to sleep at night it is on when I get up in the morning.
Often, but not always, it wakes up when I pick up the phone to make a call. The system is connected (through an Apple USB modem) to a two-input phone jack, shared with my phone.
Sometimes when I put it to sleep the screen just dims and the system locks up, necessitating a hard power-off.
Sometimes when the system is asleep, I am unable to wake it, necessitating a hard power-off.
I plan on bringing it in to the Apple Store one of these days, but I'm curious if anyone else is having similar problems...

HI there,
Try this first before taking in, reset the SMC on your machine:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Plus, check to see if you have the latest SMC FirmWare update:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303725
Read but proceed with caution! Have a nice day...

New Kensington Pilotboard wireless desktop - numerous issues Anyone else??

I just got a G4 500 AGP and also picked up a new Kensington Pilot Board wireless desktop on sale at Compxxx and it has given me fits and was wondering if anyone else had similar issues??
Here is what I have going on :
1) Random keys not responding at all mostly towards right side of keyboard
2) MASSIVE system slowdown which seemed to go away after going back to a generic keyboard/mouse that are wired
3) Horrible lag when typing and I am not a fast typer by ANY standards
I put 2 new and fresh sets of batteries in both keyboard and mouse and re-synched about 10 times and restarted several times and un-installed and re-installed software as well with same problems persisting. Is this just a junk product or did I get a lemon??

Tim, welcome, I have the same keyboard and it work just fine. And yes, new batteries really make a huge difference. Try Repairing Permissions and see if that solves the issue. Also if the USB cable is plug into a PCI card move it to one of the computer outlets and try moving the censor to a new location.
The tracking speed of the mouse can be adjusted but this should not effect the OS performance at all.

Does DotA 2 Test crash for anyone else?

DotA 2 Test is now available on Steam for Linux and for me, I keep getting illegal instruction calls which crashes the game every time I actually try to start a game of DotA. I can use the lobby fine and change graphics settings and everything but actually trying to play the game calls things it shouldn't be, apparently, and the core is aborted or dumped or whatever it's called.
Has anyone else been experiencing a similar error?

Lacie external FW Issue, anyone else?

Just purchased a 160g external firewire Lacie "F A Porsche" dirve. The drive will not mount to any of my G4s (Dual 800 + PowerBook). Dual 800 10.4.8, Laptop 10.4.7.
I have verified the Lacie mounts properly to an iMac G5, a single processor Intel and a dual core Intel.
Lacie tech support suggested I try their D2. Anyone else had issues with this dirve, comments on the D2?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

The topic of dead FW ports shows up from time to time on Macintouch and other forums. The very (VERY) short answer seems to be that although FW is SUPPOSED to hot swapable, you do so at your peril. FW ports on a variety of models seem to go dead sometimes and, as you have discovered, the only solution (other than a motherboard swap) is a PCI card.
I have a first generation AGP Sawtooth, have used the FW ports for years (but never to swap drives in and out) and my ports are still working.
I probably just guaranteed their failure...

AEBS disconnecting/dropping iMac connection issues, anyone else?

my intel iMac 20" keeps dropping the wireless connection to my Airport. I have my MacBook Pro right beside it and its a solid connection. I called Apple tech support today, but they are closed due to Holiday in Canada.
Anyone else having these issues with the new iMac's. So many problems lately, wireless, freezing etc.. I don't know what to do. I reformatted my iMac to see if that new update 1.1 was the issue, but it still disconnects.
THanks

Tried the first several times.
Unistalling CC Desktop didn't help either.
Tried viewing the install logs as per this page:

Nothing.

Had to work off safari to watch netflix via silverlight... tried uninstalling silverlight and reinstalling, but it appears the silverlight plug in will not work with firefox 4. anyone else experience this problem?

netflix support guided me through deinstall/reinstall, but that did not fix the problem. we determined silverlight is not firefox beta 4 friendly... anyone else have this problem? thanks.

See this recently updated KB article: [[Using the Silverlight plugin with Firefox]].
