Network dies... followed by computer freeze...

Out of now where... and entirly random, my network, just on my linux box goes down... torrents stop dead in the tracks, and firefox cannot load any pages... If I try to bring up a terminal and I get the stopwatch icon followed by a full freeze.
Any ideas?
-Rich

I had this issue, turned out linux keeps track of more addresses than my router could but a recent firmware update of the router fixed the problem (even stated it in the changelog as the main reason for the update.) So check that. Also check that you are running encrypted many reports of this fixing issues for some individuals. Lastly look at mu torrents faq or change your router firmware to linux.

Computer freezes following itunes update

On 5th Jan 2011 I downloaded the most recent itunes update. Sine then my computer freezes when I open itunes. I have to force shutdown when this happens. What can I do to get this sorted?

The same thing is happening to me, every time I go to download more than one show in my itunes I see it get about 50% done and it freezes and it did not do this before this just started happening so I assume its from a recent update

Safari of my Macbook (on WiFi) suddenly fails to connect to the Internet. A popup window message says another device on the network is using my computer's IP address.

But then there was still no Internet access even after I have disconnected all other home computers (a total of four including the Macbook and one iMac desktop. For simplicity, I shall categorically called them Mac hereafter unless otherwise specified. The Macs are operating on WiFi.).
The window message recommends changing the IP of either the Macs or the other device. The latter of course does not apply because I don't think the other device is one of my computers.
My questions:
(1) Why did that happen suddenly since the Mac and other computers on the WiFi was working fine in the morning (as well as days before) and then all of a sudden an unknown device is using my computer's IP? As far as I (we) can remember, we did not do any thing unusual this morning nor had we downloaded any special programs.
(2) How do I change the IP since it requires Internet acess to do it and since I can't access the Internet on the Mac?
(3) I am almost sure the problem is not caused by the Internet service because when I connected the Ethernet cable from the DSL modem to an old Windows PC, I got Internet via Internet Explorer. [I am actually sending out this message via IE on my PC.] However, when I cennected the Ethernet line from the modem to a WiFi router (Airport Extreme) and then connect the router and the old PC, I did not get Internet on either the Mac nor the PC. Similarly, there was no Internet on both Mac and PC If I connect Ethernet only between the modem and the router but not between PC and router. So, the question is whether a third unknown party has gotten hold of my Mac IP address and is trying to break into the Mac? Can it steal my personal info?
(4) How can I repair the Mac now and prevent future recurrences? Is changing the IP address the way to do it? (But like I said before I had tried but could not change the IP because I did not have Internet access on the Mac. Is there an alternative method?)
(5) I wonder if a computer's IP address remains constant if you don't change it. The reason I am asking this question is because the aforesaid window message on the Macbook--not sure about the iMac--shows a different IP address--a few numerical digits were changed--almost every time it pops up following every failure trial of mine to access the Internet. Was the Macbook trying to change the IP for me or was there some thing not right?

Re: Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address.
This message/problem was occuring intermittently for me in a household with two MacBooks accessing one Airport extreme. Rebooting the modem and router would only temporarily fix the issue for me, so I spoke with a friend who works for Apple and it seems that the Airport Extreme settings were at the root of our particular issue.
The router(Airport Extreme) recieves only one IP address from the modem and in order to allow it to share the IP address with two computers at once, the solution in my case was through:
Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility>Manual Setup>Internet
under Internet Connection- Select "share a public IP address"
under NAT, check the box for "enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol"
(this will allow the sharing of one public IP address with multiple devices)
if this is a new setting, then click "Update" and the Airport Extreme should reboot itself with new settings applied.
When all else is working properly, this is a satisfactory solution in my case.

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.
Specs;
Motherboard - ASRock X79 Extreme 4-M, Socket 2011 - Micro ATX - 4 DDR3 1600/1333/1066/800 - 3 PCI-E 3.0 x 16 - 7.1 CH HD Audio - PCIE GLAN - 3 SATA3 - eSATA3 - 4 SATA2 - 4 USB 3.0 - 10 USB 2.0

Processor fan - Intel Thermal Solution RTS2011 AC
RAM - Ballistix by Crucial - 2x 8GB Tactical PC3 - 12800 CL8 1.5 VW/XMP = 16GB RAM
SSD - Crucial M4 SSD 128GB - Comptatibility with 6Gb/s & backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB - 7200 RPM up to 32mb cache
Power Supply - Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 700W
Graphics Card - EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 - DirectX11 - CUDA - OpenCL Support - PhysX Technology - OpenGL 4.1 (so says the box it came in; but if I'm not mistaken I think the command prompt had shown OpenGL 3 or 3.2)
Disc Driver - LG DVD/CD RW... It is an OEM, Windows claims it is updated.
I use an external component - USB Microsoft Wireless Mouse & Keyboard 2000.
I have, as far as software goes...
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Adobe Creative Suite 5, student version or what have you.
- I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
-I have several maxscripts as well as a couple plugins for 3ds Max.
UDK 2-2012 & 3-2012
NVIDIA PhysX Lab 1.1
NVIDIA Texture Tools 2
NVIDIA plugin for Photoshop

ConTEXT
UnCodeX
Quicktime

Malwarebytes
7-Zip
Java
Sculptris
As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Computer freezes when I plug in Nano

Whenever I plug in my Nano into this computer, this computer freezes.The iPod screen looks like it's only charging, without the "Do Not Disconnect" screen. I have tried plugging in the iPod into two other computers, a PC and Mac, and it worked fine for both of them, "Do not disconnect" and all. However, I have tried almost everything on this computer. I have disabled all programs that load at start-up, I have reinstalled iTunes about 3 times, I have restored my iPod twice and formatted it once through the "My Computer" window and I have scanned for both spyware and viruses. I'm going absolutely insane over this whole thing, as nothing seems to be working and this just happened unexpectedly for no apparent reason.
If someone could help me, that would be VERY NICE.

You probably have a drive collision on your computer: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
Be sure to only connect your iPod (to a rear USB port on your computer) keyboard and mouse, and disconnect all other USB devices, including printers, digital cameras, scanners, thumb drives, flash memory, external hard drivers, threshers, etc. prior to changing the drive letter. Also, if you are on a network, disconnect, and use a much higher drive letter like M or P or Z.
As for viruses, etc., make sure all of your antivirus/spyware software preferences are set not to scan iPods. If you are manually managing your music, or have enabled disk use on your iPod, you will also have to set it to not scan removable storage devices.

I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer.

There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.

Computer Freezes and mouse pad commands freeze

Within minutes after bootup, my computer freezes. When I click with mouse on item, it will drag it across screen without that being a command. When clicking to request process, it stalls. I can use esc to get out of request with some success and have to keep trying again. Basically...it freezes up and won't move forward or backward and the only way nor follow command prompts. I have used ESC upon bootup and followed promps for bios and tune-up. Errors generated are: Memory Test: Failed Failure ID: 9GBW1L-5RL7N7-QFPH4K-406603; with Tune-Up: 9GBQ1L-5RL7N8-QFRH4K-401N03 I'm used the f10 function to rerun Bios...it said successful. Bios DAte 1/25/2013 Thank you in advance for your help!

You said that Apple ran all updates? Your profile show 10.5.4 I assume you just have not updated this or are you still running 10.5.4?
What exactly are you doing when the Macbook freezes?
Are you on any particular application?
Does it matter what applications you are using?
Do you get the spinning beach ball first before the Macbook freezes?
Have you upgraded the memory since purchasing the Macbook from Apple?
Did this problem start before or after the updates that the Apple techs performed?
Lots of questions but each one can help us help you...

The sound on my computer freezes/skips

The sound on my computer freezes/skips when I watch/listen to anything. I have an HP Pavilion g7 Notebook with 4g and AMD Athlon II P360 Dual-Core Processor. The bios is F.04 - from 3/29/11. Any help would be greatly appreciate.
HP Techs were not knowledgeable whatsoever. They had my put the computer back to factory settings (didn't work), check the bios (didn't work), check the hard-drive (both short and long test) (didn't work). I hesitate to call them again because all 3 of them have been unhelpful throughout the process.
I've read that people have had this problem consistently with HP, even getting new HP's from the company and they still have the same problem.
Thanks!

@paulfulks
Try the following steps in sequence.
Perform a hard reset on the notebook. In order to do that, disconnect ac adapter,battery and any adittional devices or peripherals connected to the notebook. Press and hold down power button for 5-10secs.
Power on the notebook and Uninstall Audio drivers of your notebook from Control Panel and restart the computer. After the restart is done, install the updated sound drivers by downloading it from here

Photoshop CS6 computer freeze

I'm having a continual issue with Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6 x64) completely freezing my MacBook Pro when doing the following action:
Edit > Transform > Scale
I am able to use this action instead without any issues:
Edit > Free Transform
About my Mac:
OS X Yosemite 10.10
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

If the whole computer freezes (can't force quit, have to reboot), then you are looking at an OS bug, a low level driver bug, or defective hardware.
Applications cannot cause a system hang, shutdown, or restart.
Given that MacOS 10.10 is a new OS version with a number of unsolved issues, it is most likely a driver or OS bug that you are hitting.

10.5.2 and Apple External Modem Dialup - computer freezes when dialing up

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Since upgrading to OS 10.5.2, the computer freezes (the cursor freezes) each time I try to dial up to internet. The only way to unlock computer is to shut the power button off and start over.
I am using the Apple External Modem.
Had no problems before (10.5.1, 10.5, Tiger, etc.). So far I seemingly have no problems with any other app. Only when I try to connect (dialup) to the internet.
I did the usual repair and verify permissions before and after installation.
I did a repair and verify Disc (from the Install Disc) after these problems.
Both reported no problems.
I also tried trashing Internet Connect prefs files in Home Library.
I see a lot of posts and looks for Wireless connection problems.
The only dialup solution I've read so far are people who went back to 10.5.1.

Hi,
Found this as a suggestion on how to fix the 10.5.2 internet dialup problem, but it is so vaguely written, I have no idea what the tipster is talking about.
I assume the tipster means one types these commands in Terminal?
If someone can explain the following in English, I would be grateful.
I had problems sharing a dial-up (Modem) PPP connection. I want to use NAT for security reasons and found that only the first connection after reboot worked. Subsequent connects would fail due to NATD not rebinding the new PPP bindings. Restarting NATD fixed the problem. Luckily PPPD fires off some scripts in /etc/ppp depending on connection status. The following script restarts NATD after every successfull connect if you save it as /etc/ppp/ip-up (don't forget to make it executable):
#!/bin/sh -
N_P=`ps -uxc -U root | grep ' natd$' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ "$N_P" != "" ]; then
logger -i -t $0 "Sending SIGHUP to natd (PID $N_P)"
kill -HUP $N_P
fi
Yes, this meant to be run in the terminal.
Really, the poster expected that these commands would be saved in a sh script and executed that way.
Create a txt file and past those commands into it. It will need to be saved with execution permissions.
What does it do?
N_P=`ps -uxc -U root | grep ' natd$' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
This asks the system for a list of running processes (ps -uxc) where the user is root (system admin) and passes this list to grep (which filters the list looking for a process with the string 'natd$'. This passes a single line out of the process list to awk which simply prints the second item in the list.
The end result is that the procid (process id) for the natd process is stored in the variable N_P.
Next -
if [ "$N_P" != "" ]; then
logger -i -t $0 "Sending SIGHUP to natd (PID $N_P)"
kill -HUP $N_P
fi
This checks whether a natd process was found - $N_P not null string.
If a process was found - the logger command writes and entry to the system log and then the script tries to kill the process gently (kill -HUP).
This should clear the natd process which should restart if you try and dial again.
The script is not really vague - just needs a comment or two to make it understandable to those who are not Unix geeks.

Upgraded MacBookPro6,2 to Lion and now computer freezes before login

Hi everyone,
As the subjed line says, I upgraded to Lion and everything smoothly (aparently), but after I tried to install Xcode for Lion the pc started getting slower and slower. The 10.7 Core libraries never installed (kept failing) and now the computer freezes before I can login. I tried to reinstall Lion (Pressing ⌘+R after hard powerdown) and following the prompts, but that failed. No reasons why, it just said user cancelled.
Before I wipe out my hard drive, is there something else I can do? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I am typing this reply from my MacBook Pro after recovering from the problem above. This post is for anyone else who might have the same problem. These are the steps to follow to be able to log back in:
Power down the computer and then press ⌘+R while powering up. This is called Lion Recovery, according to this knowledge base article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
In the options presented, select Disk Utility and verify the hard drive (HD) and repair the permissions on it. If your HD is not OK after verifying it, you will need to repair the HD as well.
Once the step above is complete, restart the computer.
Log in as normal.
Once you log in, it is important to find and solve whatever is causing the freeze.
In my case, it was a botched Xcode installation. If you do not fix the problem, the computer will freeze again next time you restart it, so make sure you check everything and uninstall anything that you may have installed recently. Some Adobe applications have known issues as of this posting (July 2011), so definitely remove anything new from Adobe you may have installed after upgrading to Lion or in the last couple of weeks.
Final note: If you cannot find the problem and your computer freezes again the next time you restart, you can regain access to it by following the steps above. Follow them, log in and make a backup of your important stuff and either go back to Leopard or contact Apple support for further instructions.
Good luck!

Computer freezes when watching TV show when Windows Audio started

Sorry in advance for the length of this post. I am currently running itunes 7.0.2.16. I can't load an earlier version because it tells me I need this version to access the itunes store. I orignally had a problem with my computer freezing (hard boot required) when downloading TV shows. Most of the time it would freeze when beginning the "Processing File" phase. I solved it by booting into safe mode to download the shows. I decided to troubleshoot the problem and uninstalled then reinstalled itunes and quicktime as instructed by Apple tech support. Things went from bad to worse. Now everytime I click on a TV show to watch it, my computer freezes. Using msconfig, I narrowed it down to the "Windows Audio" service. If I disable the service, itunes runs fine albeit without sound (silent episodes of Lost anyone?). I renamed the audiosrv.dll file and tried to copy a new version over from another computer. The system said it was still there and asked me if I wanted to replace it. I said no and restarted the computer. Windows XP magically recreated the file so then I had two copies of the file in the System32 directory, the renamed one and a new one. Deleted both, restarted, and the file magically reappeared. I then tried itunes and it immediately froze. After the required hard reboot, I replaced the existing file with the new file. Started itunes, clicked on a movie, and it froze. At this point I don't know if the problem lies with itunes or if I have a damaged file in XP. My virus/spyware scanner didn't find anything and neither did trend micro's house-call. I downloaded AVG AS and it also came up clean with the exception of a few tracking cookies. I would like to reslove the issue without rebuilding the whole machine. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advace.
AMD 64 Windows XP

You can try the following combination of settings:-
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
         3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page). Here is the link for determining and setting up the correct MTU size: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Distortion/stutter/computer freezes between songs with itunes 7.0.2.16

Everything was fine with itunes 6.x; then I upgraded to 7.0.2.16. Now when I play itunes on the Sony computer, for 10 to 15 seconds between songs the music is distorted or stutters when the crossfader is on. When the crossfader is OFF, then the distortion is gone, but the computer still freezes. Also itunes freezes for this time period. I have noticed the following: CPU usage shoots up from 6% to 70%. If I am using any other application (ie. program, email, etc.) it freezes for these few seconds. I have to stop playing/close itunes to do anything else on the computer. I have tried all the suggestions Apple has listed, Q time settings, updating the sound card driver, etc. to no avail!
The only solution I have found was to convert my itunes library to MP3, and created a play list in Windows Media Player. Every thing is fine, the music plays GREAT! itunes at one time was state of the art, now just junk!
Any help would be most appreciate!
SONY VAIO Windows XP iPod Shuffle; itunes 7.0.2.16, SoundMax Digital Audio

I am having the same exact problem. My computer freezes for 3-5 seconds when the song has about 5 seconds left. I think it may have to do with the new "gapless" playback. This is garbage, I can't even use iTunes anymore. Have you been able to find any answers. If not, I just want to downgrade, but I don't know if that is possible.
I tried to install an older version but iTunes said that I have an newer version of iTunes on the computer, which is true, but the new version, 7.0.2.16, is not working. I hope someone finds something back from Apple because I don't want to reorganize all my music due to their bug.
