Please Help- iWorks and web browsers keep freezing!

I left for a family affair two weeks ago with my MacBook acting normal as usual. I returned about a week ago to this issue I can't seem to resolve!
For starters- I am unable to use Firefox, which is the browser I normally use (I never use Safari, until now that is). I open it in the dock, it bounces for an unusually long amount of time, the page comes up but does not load, then the rainbow wheel pops up and Firefox eventually quits "unexpectedly" or due to "inactivity". If I try to force quit, the Finder freezes, the dock freezes, and I am unable to do anything but sit and wait. I've restarted several times and that hasn't fixed the issue.
So now I've been using Safari, which has also been giving me troubles. If I have two or more tabs open and the same time and continue to load pages at the same time and float between tabs frequently, Safari freezes up and eventually quits. If I try to force quit, the same thing happens as does with Firefox.
Also, I am unable to use Pages or Numbers (the only two applications I've seemingly had trouble with so far). Pages doesn't even pull up a document I try to open or pull up a blank page -- it just pinwheels and quits. If I try to force quit, the same thing happens as does with Firefox, the finder and the dock freeze up and I am unable to do anything but force a restart or sit and wait. Same with Numbers. It asks me if I want to open a blank page, and if I click yes, then my dear friend pinwheel pops up again.
I don't know too much about Macs, though I've never owned a windows, but I've been reporting my problems to apple numerous times (with no return) and I've been searching through other mac-related websites and they're forums. One forum suggested repairing the disk, which I don't know anything about, but did and that still hasn't helped.
I hope someone knows what's going on with my mac because I sure don't!

I am having this same problem and I have NO idea what is causing it. I have been searching high and low for an answer, and nothing seems to be appearing. The only thing I could think now is to maybe re-install Firefox. That is the browser I have been using and that this has happened in.

HELP PLEASE! I am working with GH4 4k footage in adobe preimere and the computer keeps freezing... any ideas?

HELP PLEASE! I am working with GH4 4k footage in adobe preimere and the computer keeps freezing... any ideas?

Thanks for your response. I'm sorry for the lack of details, but posting a question on this forum is completly new to me, so I guess I am learning how it works.
I have to be honest, I am a novice to video editing, but I am here to learn so I will provide all the info I know and please let me know if it is enough...
I filmed my first feature film on a Panasonic GH4. We filmed in 4k (compressed files). I am about 900 GB of total files for all the footage. I am currently editing on a 17' Toshiba Satellite i7 with 750 GB of space and I believe 8 gb of ram. All of the footage for the film is not on the computer, but stored on a 1 TB external hardrive (Rugged Lacie is the name of the hard drive). I am using a usb 3.0 from the hard drive to the computer.
I actually was able to get through about 17 mins of edits for the film before I started to experiencing the computer completely freezing up on me. I tried using a different hard drive, and same issue. A friend mentioned it might just be the computer is not powerful enough to edit all the footage, but he wasn't for sure considering the computer is less than a year old and is on the higher end for a toshiba.
I am requesting advice on how to continue editing the film without the computer crashing if that is even possible with using the same computer. If not what would be my options?
Thank you!

I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

Madmonkey,
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Gaylefromnewhope,
Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
Next might be to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Updated my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.3 and now it keeps freezing

updated my iPhone 6 with iOS8.3 and now it keeps freezing have to constantly re-boot. anyone else having the problem?

Well, I went to an apple store and they told me that I have to restore the iphone with VF -something- mode, this is made thru itunes. Now, I have an iphone 5s and I am running still Snow Leopard (OSx 10.6.8) on my mac and it work brilliantly, although they do recommend to do so on a fully updated computer.
But that does not excuse Apple, because let's face it, in recent days they have dropped the ball, on equipment, ideas and software, proof of that is that my mac book pro from the mid 2010 still has an optical audio inlet, the software runs more efficiently than the Yosemite and… well who's going to buy a watch worth 1000 quid with a battery that only last for a DAY, serious?
Back to the original matter in question, here's an article that can help you with your problem.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try.

The only way to increase the fonts on your desktop would be system wide by going down a notch on the resolution. Some people won't do it because it increases the pixel size so the fonts won't be quite as sharp; I decided I'd rather have that than having to squint continuously. Go to System Preferences > Displays > Scaled > this will give you all resolution options available. No harm in trying - just check the default (top) choice again if you don't like any of the others.
It's a b*&^ch getting old . I still use the screen zoom instead of decreasing resolution, but maybe soon ...
