New apple tv update causes screen freeze and lock up

ever since i updated my apple tv to the new update, after X number of minutes, the screen will freeze. if i am listening to music, the music will keep playing but the screen is frozen. it doesn't matter if it is on screen saver or not, everything freezes and is non-responsive, but music is still playing. any ideas?
thanks

I have the exact same issue. The screen will "freeze" but audio will still play. If you hit buttons on the remote you can hear that the interface is still working, but the screen is always frozen on whatever it was showing when the problem arose, making it unusable. It doesn't matter if I'm playing audio, video, or literally doing nothing but letting the menu sit there and the default screen saver kicks in: it will eventually freeze the picture on the screen and become unusable.
It has nothing to do with syncing vs. streaming, type of content, resolution, or connection type. I've tried changing all of that and the problem always occurs.
This basically means my Apple TV is unusable, but it was bought years ago so it's out of warranty. I like the product fine, but I obviously can't use an unusable product and I don't like it enough to buy a whole new one. Anyone?

Screen Freeze and lock to mouse

Screen moves with mouse? Screen display is oversized - checked preferences for Display - does not solve it. Computer still work but its like a big screen grab connected to the mouse, never seen anything like this before. Last know cause - was shuting down and a folder was laying across the corner of the keyboard and maybe pushing down some keys - hit Shut Down anyway - and this what occured. Can't find a system preference that will do anything.

To disable the *control key / scroll ball* zoom function go to *System Preferences / Universal Access* Then in the Zoom: section click on the Options... button and uncheck *Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom.*

Update to 7.1 causes screen freeze upon closing from Safari and slow wifi connection.

I updated my iPad 3 last weekend. Right after the update the screen froze and I had to restart it by holding the home button and on/off switch. Ever since then the screen freezes a minimum of once a day. This normally happens when closing Safari. I've also been kicked off of Facebook several times and brought back to the home screen. Not to mention my wifi internet connection is running super slow at home and work. Any ideas of what this is happening? My husband updated his iPad 2 and is not experiencing these issues. We think the update may have been corrupted but not sure what to do. Thanks in advance for help on this.

The screen froze again yesterday. This time it happened while I was in the photos app. The screen starts to shrink when I pinch it but it doesn't close all the way. I get a small "thumbnail" of the screen which gets stuck. I am very good about making sure I don't have a lot of open apps, I try to close them all everyday by double clicking the home button and swiping them up. If you have any ideas please let me know. I am going to try and keep a log of when this happens, what is open in the background and which app gets frozen. Thanks again for the help on the internet slowness. It is working fine now. Not sure if this makes a difference but this is a refurbished iPad 3 that is about a year and a half old.

IPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update

iPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update. Have to do a hard reboot. I am Extremely disappointed and lost ALL trust in Apples Quality Assurance. From now on I'll wait a week before I update.

Hey there Shortos,
It sounds like your phone touchscreen is not consistently working for you after updating to iOS 8. I can see how that would be pretty frustrating. It sounds to me like this could be a software issue or an issue with the screen itself. I would start with the troubleshooting in the following article to help troubleshoot the screen itself:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next quit all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Can't update from 10.0.0 to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up

Can't update to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up when using Pref/view/update/10.2.8 100 meg combo update. I have to wipe disk and reinstall 10.2.0
I can't find a stand alone combo that works with 10.2.0 - indeed I can not find any update for 10.2.0. I do find discussions of the 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 updates, and once one has 10.2.2 there is a combo to get to 10.2.8.
What is the solution - by the way I like 10.2.0 better than prior 9.2.2, and do not mind having to wipe disk and lose 9.2.2. But my wavelan 16 bit wireless PCMIA card, indeed any airport card, no longer is recognized. Indeed I can't find Airport. This is a 10 year old computer and files/docs etc are long gone (but life was good until I decided to move to X this month). How do I correct this lack of wireless (it does connect directly to my Ethernet line so getting on the web is no problem)?

Hello papau. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You could try the 10.2.6 combo as that will install on 10.2
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=70174
and then 10.2.8 which requires 10.2.6 can be downloaded here.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate_.html
Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, found in Applications/Utilities/ before you start and once again when you finish.
During the installation process, just wait till the system completes things and not use any other applications until the update is finished.

Words w friends is freezing up on the new iOS 7 software, the screen freezes leaving a black open space and doesn't fix itself.

Probably an issue with the App itself, not with iOS 7 or your iPad. There will probably be an update coming out soon as there are many people having issues with that App

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

The update screen freezes and will not let me use the beta

Whenever I try and open the Beta, it tries to add my previous firefox extensions into the beta. The screen freezes and when I close it, I cannot open the beta again. I uninstall it and try again and the same thing happens. I tried restarting my computer and nothing happened.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
Crikey!

Libby,
Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

Playing music the screen freezes and if i want to make changes it will not let me.I go to restore factory settings and afterwards i am able to listen,view album covers,and change the type of music i want.Is there a better way to do this? Thx

When playing music on my ipad the screen freezes and i am not able to view album covers or make any changes i am only able to hear what i selected.
This is the third time it has happened since i updated to the new IOS 5.1. It never happened before.
If i go to Summary and restore the ipad to the factory settings then i'm able to run it as normal.
Is this a glitch in the new software,or a problem with my ipad?
Thanks for any help

Thanks Russ H and Ross H!
I'm finding Multicam, combined with Compound Clips to be extrememly efficient.
I started with 2 different video clips, along with 2 different audio clips.
Layed out both clips side by side (visually, they are on top of each other on the timeline),and made that a single compound clip.
Then I laid out both audio clips on top of each other on the timeline and made those a compound clip.
So now I have
2 original individual Video shots
1 compound video shot of the 2 above side by side.
2 original audio tracks
1 compound audio track
Next I made a multicam track, and added to it all 3 video shots (2 original + 1 compound) And I added the compound audio track. I set that audio track to be "the" track.
It's just a little bit of setup, but really not that bad, and the ability to use the multicam feature to switch between shots, while keeping everything in sync is fantastic!

While using Skype on my mac pro the screen freezes and splits in two and the left hand side shifts to the right and the right shifts to the left with a large black block down the centre, should I take it back to store as it is only a month old??

I have only had my mac one month and it seems while I use Skype the screen freezes and I cant click on anything and everything on the right hand side of the screen shifts to the left and the left to the right with a back block down the centre and sometimes lines running down the screen over all. As it is almost brand new should I be going back to store to get this problem fixed??

Yes. You are still under warranty. Why waste it?

I cannot connect my iPhone 5 32GB IOS 6.02 to iTunes 11.01 on a Mac Book Pro. The screen freezes and doesn't recognize the iPhone at all. Thank you for your help.

Since the Apple Java update of 4/6 and/or 4/12, Firefox doesn't load PDFs or download them (Safari works fine). Tried listed solns: no help. Ideas?

I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Power Mac. The Apple Java updates of 4/6 and 4/12 were released to counter the Flashback trojan - I installed each. The patch implied Java should be disabled - I allowed this. Javascript was NOT disabled. I later re-enabled Java using the "Java Preferences" application in /Applications/Utilities.
I tried the instructions I could find on the FF site to correct this, but with no good results. Among the things was resetting the download folder.
