Portion of screen freezing with some applications

I have been noticing that some select programs when opened, have a chance at freezing a portion of my second monitor. The section that freezes is always the same section and returns to normal when the program that causes it is closed.
Programs that cause the problem: epdfview, pcmanfm, gvim.
I am using openbox, have an nvidia card with the nvidia drivers installed.
Let me know if you have any tips. Thanks

I haven't had to shutdown because of it. I just need to close the program and it goes away. But that means if I want to use one of these programs I have to close and open it again and again until I get it so it doesn't cause that problem. Very annoying.

Beatport problem -- screen freezes with some tracks...

It started happening since i downloaded Flash 10 --- the
screen freezes with a lot of tracks...when it's freezed, there's
nothin' else i can do with that page ( at least inside beatport ).
When i open another Beatport page, and go to the same track that
freezed before, it happens again... this is very bad, 'cause it
doesn't allow me to buy some excellent tracks... Does anyone know
how to solve this ?

As JustinC pointed out, it would be better you were running a more 'mature' OS (also CoreAudio is part of Quicktime so if you have updated QT and not the OS you could, possibly, be running an incompatible version of CoreAudio, i'm not too sure about that.)
But considering the symptoms you mentioned, and the fact you are running very few audio tracks, I'm assuming you run a lot of MIDI.
The symptoms you describe sound a lot like a MIDI feedback loop.
You don't have any sort of inter-app MIDI routing enabled, do you ?
If you do, you need to isolate the inter-app inputs from the sequencer input, or be very careful not to select tracks which are assigned to an inter-app port (or 'all' ports)
Oh, and update the OS anyway, there is no good reason to stick with 10.3.0

Frequent screen freezes with os 10.8.3

I am experiencing frequent screen freezes with OS 10.8.3 on my 27" iMac, Late 2009. Sometimes while using Safari, sometimes while using Photoshop CS5.1, Sketchup 8, or other software. Rarely does it coincide with a processor intensive operation. I have not had this problem since my old white G5 iMac. Then it was aleading indicator that the CPU or power supply needed replacing (I went through 5 processors and 6 power supplies with that machine.) I took my current iMac in to the Apple Store and had it checked out. Hardware checked out fine, but the freezes are becoming more frequent. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Screen Freeze With Light Blue Tint

Hi,
I bought a refurbished 15" MacBook Pro from the Apple Store last August (2011 model, I think, running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3) and it's been fine up until the past week. Twice now, when the computer has been asleep and I've woken it up, the screen has frozen and has a slightly bleached out and bluish appearance and, unable to see the cursor when I move my finger on the trackpad, I've had to reboot using the power button. This seems to fix it, but I'm worried that it might indicate an ongoing or more serious problem.
Just to clarify, what I see is not a blank, pale blue screen, but the screen as it looked just before the computer went to sleep (background picture, any windows I had open), with a bleached-out, bluish appearance.
I can rule out accidental damage (it hasn't been dropped or had anything spilled on it, etc) but it has coincided with a problem I had with the MagSafe Power Supply. While I was using the computer last week with the supply plugged in, I looked down to notice the insulating layer next to the metal L-connector had split, exposing the wires, some of which had frayed. I switched off and disconnected the supply immediately, but can't say for sure how long the damaged supply was in use before I noticed the problem with it. Neither can I say for sure that the two issues are related, but this bleached-out blue screen problem first arose that day, although the second time it happened (this morning) I was using the replacement power supply which is intact.
Has anyone else experienced this? Luckily, my computer is still within warranty, so I'll call the helpline or visit a Genius Bar, but any other advice would be very much appreciated.

It's possible that it has affected to your computer, but it has nothing to do with the blue tint. Respecting to this problem, the first thing I recommend you is to reinstall OS X, holding Command and R keys while your computer is starting, so all the OS X files will be reinstalled and it should fix the problem if it's software related.
If it doesn't work, take the computer to the Apple Store because it could be a hardware issue. I have seen problems with some computers turning them on after sleep, but the blue tint isn't as normal as this problem

JDeveloper freezes with some searches in "Find in Files"

With some searches in "Find in Files", JDeveloper simply freezes as it hits a file with the keyword. With other searches, it finishes okay. Any idea why that might be?
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0.

Screen freezes with LOGIC pro 7 & OSX 3.0.any ideas?

Hi
I have a G5 with dual processors and 1.5 ram/150gb HD. I am running Logic pro 7 on the original OSX 3.0 with a Motu 828mk2 firewire interface.
The screen freezes a lot (sometimes with audio still running) and the only way is to turn it off and reboot.
I am not working with lots of audio or plug ins (maybe one or two tracks at most).
I wondered whether its the OS? maybe i need Tiger?
I would be grateful of any help

My screen freeze with Time Machine

Hello,
So I would like to go when Time Machine, and the screen freezes. I can click once on the window then everything is blocked. I do apple alt esc to return to the desktop.It was on an external disk (USB). I tried with another disc and the same thing. Thank you in advance for your answers.
SnowMo

Yes!
Here's a response from Intego...
"Hello,
You will want to add your Time Machine drive to VirusBarrier X5's Trusted Zone so that the items are not scanned as Time Machine reads and copies to that directory.
You can either do this in VirusBarrier X5's Preferences, under the "Scanner" section.
Or you can add it using the contextual menu by holding down the Control key and clicking on the Time Machine backup volume. A pop-up menu will appear, in the "More" submenu is a submenu for "VirusBarrier X5" with a choice of "Add to Trusted Zone". Choosing this will add the item to VirusBarrier's Trusted Zone and keep it from being scanned by the background scanner.
Thank you for choosing Intego."

Imac G5 - screen freezes with patterned screen

Yesterday my Imac G5 suddenly had the whole screen covered with patterns which in turn froze
the machine up.
Tried using the hardware test (both quick & extended) found nothing wrong.
Tried resetting the Pram & Nvram - made no difference
Tried resetting the SMU - made no difference
Ran Disk Utility to repair permissions - all OK
Used DiskWarrior and no problems found.
Powered off and left it all night and restarted this morning all systems appeared OK
This evening this problem returned and had to power off again which is where I am now.
I have looked thru these forums and found reference to faulty capacitors about bulging, leaking etc
and removed the back but could not see any faults
Any one have any clues as to what the problem is?
I would appreciate some help here please
Alan

Nobody knows when Apple releases new models, but I think that they usually come out in the spring.
Or sometimes in the fall. In other words, there is no set time.
Try calling http://www.synaptech.com/catalog/ as I suggested, they replace logic boards very reasonably.

Multi-Gesture Screen Freezes with IOS 8.1

Random screen freezes and crashes are still occurring on my iPad Air when using the Multi-Gestures feature, after installing IOS 8.1. This problem started with IOS 8.0, continued with IOS 8.02, and is still present in IOS 8.1. Apple, please fix this! Having to reboot multiple times a day is very annoying. Turning the Multi-Gesture feature off obviously stops the problem but is not a real solution. If a feature is present, it needs to work right.

HHe's. A simple visit to Settings, disabling and then immediately re-enabling the feature fixes the issue. But just for a while.
APPLE: Do you hear us? This should be a VERY easy issue to resolve. It's pervasive, well documented, and utterly annoying and frustrating. Please issue a fix ASAP.

Screen freeze with odd squares and occasional crashing

I've had my new IMac 27" (2.66 Ghz i5) for a couple of weeks and it's crashed more times than Windows Vista ever did (about 7 times so far). Every now and again, the screen freezes (sound keeps going) and strange squares appear. The only solution is to hard reboot using the on/off switch.
Today it had trouble starting up again, requiring 2 or 3 goes before coming back to life.
Help! Any suggestions/fixes? Is this a common problem?

Thanks for this. Just taken a look at the Console log and the following is listed at the time of the latest crash:

Screen freezes with restart message

Every time I turn on my Macbook now, after about 5 minutes the screen freezes and a message appears saying I have to press restart/turn my Mac on and the off. The message appears in about 5 languages including German and what looks like Chinese. Anything I'm working on the time is thus lost.
About a month ago I had the hard disk replaced because of a failure and I thought this might cure the problem. However, it didn't and I still keep getting the same message. It's really annoying as it happens quite randomly and means I lose any work I'm working on at the time.
Any suggestions/ideas/solutions?
Thanks.

I'm having exactly the same issue after performing the latest Java update. I'll try rebooting with the installation disk to see if there are any changes. I also had to replace my hard drive disk recently at the Apple store. If nothing changes, I'm calling Apple Care in the morning and will report back.

Java Problems With Some Applications

Ever since I updated Java Web Start at the end of September I've had problems getting some applications to open correctly. I know that's the problem too because it happened right after I did the update. I updated, restarted the computer, tried to launch an application, and it didn't open up. What happens is the application icon bounces in the dock and then shuts down, almost like it's crashing.
What's weird though is that it's only the applications...all web-based Java stuff is fine.
Is there anyway I can roll back to the previous version of Java Web Start?

If you didn't repair permissions after updating, then I suggest that you do so now. Except this time, do so from your install DVD.
Repairing permissions from the Tiger or Leopard DVD
Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is able to complete the repair now click on the "Repair permissions" button.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

Navigation buttons freeze with some websites

I lately started to get the navigation buttons (previous, next, reload) to stop working with some sites. I started to get this problem in FF 3.6 a couple of weeks ago, and after I upgraded to FF 4.0.
It does not have a rule when to happen or in which sites. It normally occurs at least once a day (currently in this Mozilla support site while I'm writing). I'm on Windows 7 (suffered the same problem in two different machines).
Any Ideas?

I think I knew the cause of this problem; it's McAfee SiteAdvisor, which I depend on to surf the net safely.
I looked for this problem in McAfee site, and they blame Firefox for it.
In fact, this problem doesn't occur in IE (where the SA is also installed), so it can be an issue for both FF and SiteAdvisor.
So until this problem is solved, is there any workaround?

You can still downgrade to 8.2. Might be able to revert to previous version if the ideas below don't work.
