Need help with a freezing / Lock up issue

Hey Everyone,
I have an lenovo T400 running Windows XP with iTunes 9.2.1.5.
I have 2 different iPhones (3gs and 4) both with the latest 4.x software.
Any time I connect either phone to this Laptop iTunes locks up.
The seriers of events happens as...
Itunes sees the iphone and...
Verifying iPhone
syncing
backing up
syncing apps
Syncing
Then it locks.
I've been googling an dsearching here, some poeple thinking it was a Voicememo or issue, podcast issue, app issue, music issue. I've deleted all of that off one phone and it still locks up.
I've been searching and out of ideas.
What order does a phone sync in?
Is there a way to watch it sync and see if it's hanging on one file?

I am having the same issue suddenly the last couple of days. I haven't installed anything else nor have I done anything out of the ordinary. Whenever I select multiple items this also seems to happen.

Need help with Powerbook freeze issue

I'm having a strange problem with my PB: At seemingly random times, the system will lock up and display the spinner and the only way I know how to fix it is to pop the battery out and reboot. It doesn't respond to any input once the spinner starts.
Here's the thing: when the freeze happens, I can hear an abnormal noise from the spacebar or upper left area. It sounds like hard drive activity at short spurt intervals, with almost one-second pauses in between.
I have repaird the HD and permissions, which said it fixed some errors, but the problem is persisting. I ran a hardware scan and all is well. I took it to the Apple Store and the guy couldn't find anything physically wrong with it after running some diagnostics.
One last thing--I seem to be running Safari usually when these freezes occur. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Powerbook G4 Aluminum 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.5 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM

forgot to add that i did delete and re add the Drivers thinking that might be an issue
Ran system test on everthing and it show its working just fine
but still no SPOKEN VOULUME TO SPEAK OF
the music or Sound side works fine

Need help with computer freezing up.

I seem to be having some trouble with my computer freezing up from time to time. Usually it's when I'm using the program Transmission or Toast Titanium. I can't access the applications files, the Dock icons or do any force quit on the programs. Also I can't do a restart or shut down. I have tried using the keystrokes to shut down and restart, but as well this doesn't work. Everything gets frozen. The only way I can stop the freeze is to manually turn the computer off by the on/off button in the back of the computer. I have heard it is really bad to do so. What else could I do when the computer is frozen like this to get it unstuck? Also being that this has happened a few times, how do I correct the programs so that it won't keep happening?
Thanks.

Hi,
When you run a program in Mac it loads the necessary information to the RAM and access it from there. If other programs are running in the computer along with the Toast Titanium then there is a possibility of the memory unable to address all the requirements. The best way is to keep an eye on the memory usage from Activity monitor when you start using the Toast next time.
While trying to burn the data into a CD the files are first loaded into the memory so that it will be written to the disk. So what I will suggest is to close all the applications and wait for a reasonable amount of time to see whether the computer frees up memory and starts to write onto the disk.
If not, you will also need to free up some hard drive space.
Also in the ~/Library/Logs/Crash Reporter look for crash files and see what is causing the issue.
Shutting down the computer with the Power on/off button is not that good however if nothing else is working, you have no choice other than that.
Hope that helps....
I wanted to add few more tips.

How the lock works is explained by Find My iPhone Activation Lock and Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner's account.
On YouTube you will find some videos helping bypassing the lock and get access to the contacts. With some luck you can contact the previous owner and force him to remove the iPhone from the devices list at icloud.com/find.

Hello Apple Community. I need help with a freezing powerbook G4

Hello!
I'm new to Apple laptops. I purchased a Powerbook G4 867 MHz 640 MB used and I'm starting to have some problems with it. My powerbook freezes at random intervals and I cannot even move the mouse. I have to hold down the power button to restart it. It runs fine before every freeze and it seems like after it freezes the fan runs very fast.. it sounds like a fan at least. This Powerbook came with no CD's at all, I have been trying to download various software to fix it but that's when I run into my next issue. I receive a "mounting failed" error upon every download. When I double click on the file it says "cannot open because this file is still be downloaded."
I really like this computer and would love to get it working right. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I don't know the most about mac os x so if you could be please be detailed as I cannot always locate programs on here.
Thank you guys!

Well... that is an older system, as long as you don't want to watch internet video's, it may work for you. First thing I would do is to reset the PMU and the PRAM. Next thing I would want to do is to run the Apple hardware test. See if the Powerbook image located here will work. If not, if you can put your hands on a copy of TechTool Deluxe (might even be on your system) that can do similar hardware testing.
It would be good if you could put your hands on at least a retail version of OS X 10.4 Tiger, as certain operations, like repairing the hard drive, require that you boot from another source. Or, if you have an external backup drive that you can use for your system, you can initialize it for Mac OS extended (journaled) format, use a program like SuperDuper to make a bootable copy of your hard drive, then boot from it. Note it can only connect via Firewire if you want to be able to boot from it.
In the meantime, you can bring up Disk Utility, in applications/utilities on your hard drive, and do a verify disk. If this notes issues, you'll either need the retail OS X mentioned above or a bootable backup to repair (or you can buy Disk Warrior which can also likely repair a hard drive problem, as long as it's not a hardware issue). Usually people try Disk Utlity repair first before investing in Disk Warrior.
One source for OS X 10.4 Tiger retail disks would be hardcoremac.com. Don't get an upgrade disk, either, as they may require you to be on the prior operating system.

Fixing my friends ipod but need help with crashing freezing etc probs

my friend as us to fix his ipod two weeks ago as it had a sad face and was making grinding noises.
well we fix it but it is now very slow, and he says its freezing. this was after the fourth or fifth format restore as a normal itunes restore doesent work.
so afteer formating it on abuntu cus we descovered 2 partitions
it now works ... then we sync it with itunes 7.5 it crashed tried 8.0 it crashed even tried 9.25 and 10.1.
it crashed and locked the computer.
the drive is griding like mad , its slow and it wont always show up.
we think it a classic 5 g , it has a 30 gig hard drive, (post s/n later as im writing this in bed)
we got it up and running and then itunes 7.5 crashed. now it gone back to a small circle with a line which is black.
it looks like the wrong firmware keeps booting as it is suposed to be a red circle with line which is twice the size.
i know it had firmware 3.1 on it before and it eventually finds it. and works but
can someone tell me
1 where do i find the correct version of the firm ware as i think the current 1 is scrambled.
as for the hard drive it is getting hot and griding do u think i need replace it.
think s/n or model number is m????k something.
were runing out of ideas
can u help
btw my first post.

*Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
It's possible that the iPod's hard drive is failing. Take the iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. The iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
Retracts: 889
Reallocs: 12
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 2202
Start/Stops: 894
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c
Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
*Reallocated Sectors Count*
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
*Pending sector count*
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest the drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace the iPod. Check the stats after another attempt to update the iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next, e.g. replace the hard drive or the entire unit.

Need Help with "ldap_search: Administrative limit exceeded" issue

Hi,
I recently created an index for an attribute called abcSmDisableFlag. When i perform an Ldapsearch using an application owners binddn, 10 entires are returned before i get the error: ldap_search: Administrative limit exceeded. When I use the Directory Manager I do not get this error while the same 10 entries are returned.
I have analyzed the error and access logs and i think the problem is with the index (notes=U). I performed a reindex on the attribute but it din't work.
Below are the details i gathered from
error log:

I have indexed both abcIdmDeleteDate and abcSmDisabledFlag with a presence and equality index.
I am using Sun Directory Server 6.2. All the nsslapd limits are at Default value and I am not supposed to increase those values.
I will be very grateful if anyone can kindly share ideas/solutions on this issue and help me out.
Thanks!!

I don't know if your issue has been resolved but two things i see here:
1 - you should not be on 6.2, move to 6.3 or 7.
2 - your filter is the answer, when you use a filter of "(&(objectclass=abcIdentity)(abcIdmDeleteDate<=2010-09-16)("\!"(abcSmDisabledFlag=1)))", DSEE takes the 1st part of your filter, in your case objectclass=abcIdentity, and does a search on it. Then after retrieving all entries it checks all that have an abcSmDisableFlag <=2010-09-16 and finally out of the remaining entries it will check which do not have an abcSmDisableFlag=1.
The search on objectClass is resulting in an unindexed search, apparently. What you need to do is alter the order of your attributes in your search filter and have objectClass at the end.
I hope this makes sense and helps.

I need help with BlackBerry 8820's bluetooth issue

Hi!
Please accept my appology of my poor English.
My 8820 has a bluetooth issue with Bluedio E9+ headset. It must be note that the headset works well with another phone (not BlackBerry). My BlackBerry can't actively connects to bluetooth headset by the method 'Menu' key > 'Connect' option, but still able to receives connection request from the headset and pairs with the headset when i choose Yes. At this point I can use bluetooth function for data transfering, Voice Dialing and music playback (i.e. mp3 files). But each time I try a mp4 file with default video player in Media folder, its audio will never work with the bluetooth function, and the phone's speakers is automatically enabled. I try the menu when the video was playing, but there are only Activate Handset and Active Speakerphone options. Then I was converted the file with BlackBerry Video Converter Pro; I remove and reinsert the battery; I wipe the phone and install new ROM,... But none of them work.
Please help!

Need help with 2008 macbook pro superdrive issue pleasee

hello,
I have this macbook pro
Model Family: MacBook Pro
Display: 15"
Processor Type: 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo
Model Number: A1260
Color: Aluminum
Factory: China
Production Year: 2008
Production Week: 22 (May)
Production Number: 774
200 gb hd
4gb of ram
also apple care til jun 11
OK so I bought the computer for 650 from my friend and soon after buying found a problem. The problem was the optical drive not reading all the disc that I put in the system. So I took the macbook pro to apple they installed a new super drive. I get home today and try to install snow leopard and have a issue. The way I went about was starting up holding the option button and waiting to boot from the disc for a fresh install. First time I tried I got a symbol that look like the restricted sign you see when you cant smoke in a area ect... So I restart and try again this time I get to the install screen click does the estimation ect.. 34 minutes than goes to 28 minutes pretty much has frozen there now, and after waiting all this time about 20 minutes I get the spinning beach ball. Also forgot to say that the super drive is now super dooper annoying loud and make odd sounds too with vibration. So I guess make another apple gen bar apt? And have them possible replace the super drive again?
update just got an error occured while installing mac os x still have spinning beach ball

I'm guessing Apple didn't do a good job. I think you need to make a return trip. And politely remind them that you're making a return trip.

Need Help with Signal and No Service Issue

I switched out my phone Saturday after Genius ran diagnostic and said it was a hardware issue dropping so many calls. I also got a new Sim card in the newest series. I was feeling good and confident until I went to work and the signal dropped to No Service and remained that way all day. I called At&t and was treated rather rudely by a supervisor, who said that maybe I should find a different carrier, because I seem to be a problem customer. (I guess for reporting issues.) I don't know what to do anymore. He told me to take the replacement back to Apple and have them test it again. Can anyone help me?

Try th steps provided in the article below:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
If after following the steps in the article the issue remains then make sure you back up your iPhone and as you said book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Need help with Photoshop CS5.5 Printing issues with Epson R2880

Hi,
I'm experiencing problems printing on photoshop, I already selected center image but the epson printer always print to the upper left hand corner of
the page. And the image is always cropped in a weird way, so eveytime I print the image is not a whole. I made sure I selected the right paper size too.
It used to print okay, this happened a while ago but I don't know how it got fixed evetually, I think was after a complete restore of my OS.
I am sure its nothing to do with the Epson driver, becuas after I export the file from photoshop to PDF it prints fine with either preview or adove acrobat.
Has anyone else experienced such problem?
Thank you!
Shao

Nope, not using the presets, i still cant figure out why it suddenly cant print right!
btw, thnks for the link, its very useful!!

I Need Help With Premiere Pro CC File Issue

When I shoot video with my Canon XF100 camera for an extended period it creates new files every 5 minutes. In a continous shoot it keeps these separate files in a sub-folder until I hit the stop button. When I recommence shooting it creates a new sub folder and a new file.
Until recently Premiere Pro CC would read each file seperately in a sub folder but just recently it has started to combine them all. For example, if I was shooting continuously for 15 minutes I would get three 5 minutes filesand Premiere Pro CC would normally see 3 separate 5 minute files with their own file names but just recently it will see 3 files, each 15 minutes in lenghth, and each with the same content even though they have different file names.
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, do you have a solution?
Thanks,
Milton

Need help with Illustrator CC type scale issue.

I have my units set to inchs and when I type a font in at 12" high the actual size I get is only 8.3789"
Is there a fix for this?

George,
To get the desired letter/glyph height you may, with the live Type selected:
1) Effect>Path>Outline Object;
2) Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds;
3) In the Transform palette, set the desired height and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter (to keep proportions).
You can see the correspondingly changed font size in the Character palette.
Remember to undo especially 2) when done.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,
Nicolas.
(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.
