Preview freeze when scrolling

Hi,
When I scroll the pdf in the Preview in Maverick, sometime It will freeze suddenly. And if I move the pointer out of the preview then move it back in, it works.
Does anybody know whats going on about this bug?
Sometimes its anoying.
Thanks.

I found a solution that has worked for me.
I found that under System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad -> Trackpad Options, my "Scrolling" field was set to "without Inertia".
Switching that to "with Inertia" has fixed all my Preview scrolling woes. (I think that is the default setting for a new installation of OS X.) I don't particularly like the intertial scroll, but it clearly works much better than the "without inertia" scroll, which seems to fail in Preview right at the point in the algorithm when the inertial movement would normally be applied to the scrolling pane.

Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble

Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble with the same file. This problem is somewhat intermittent.
I have replaced the Preview application by moving a copy from another equivalent machine - no luck.
Did not find any preferences file trash, though I looked.
Is there one?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Edwin,
The .plist for Preview should be located @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist (where "~" is your Home folder).
Trash the file, logout/login or reboot your computer and try opening the app and opening the offending file again.
Let us know if any luck with finding the .plist there and opening your file?

30EA3: Monitor sessions grid freezes when scrolling lo last session

Hi,
I've found an issue with the Monitor Sessions grid.
Steps to reproduce the problem (scenario I have tested an reproduced the issue)
1. Open monitor sessions window
2. Order the grid by "OS User" column (In this scenario, my "OS user" is the last one alphabetically)
3. Scroll down in the grid, until reach the last record (as mentioned above, the last session is the same session that is monitoring since my user is the last one alphabetically)
Then SQL Developer freezes, processor time and memory start to increase; and also, seems that SQL Developer window is trying to get the focus, so it doesnt let me navigate freely to other applications, is even difficult to open task manager to kill the process since SQL developer window in the background keeps getting the focus of mouse and keyboard.
Thanks and regards
Ramiro Teran

Hi Raghu,
1. As I mentioned, the scenario I tested was the "Monitor Sessions" grid, at first I only tested scrolling down to the last record, in the master grid using the mouse wheel, but now I have also tried crtl+end, and it also happens
2. 184 records in parent grid (Sessions)
3. The child grid is the "Active SQL" tab (first tab) of the detail of the session.
4. Yes, there was a cell in master selected, but when scrolling down and reaching the bottom (or doing ctrl+end), then the last cell is selected automatically, and SQLDeveloper freezes.
As mentioned in my first post, the SQLDeveloper not only freezes, but doesn't let you navigate to other windows (every couple of seconds SQLDeveloper gets focus on its window, even though is frozen)
I have took an screenshot showing the issue, even though, maybe you can't appreciate the issue on an image, since the image only shows the last record of the monitor sessions grid selected, (at that time SQL developer is hanged, and doens't respond to clics or keyboard comands). Also it shows the Task Manager showing increased memory and CPU ussage from the SQL Developer process. If you're interested in this screenshot, let me know where/how to upload it
Thanks and Regards
Ramiro

Remote console session freezes when scrolling

My host: Laptop running Windows XP SP3.
Guest: Windows 2008 R2, physically on a USB hard drive.
My VMware server version is 2.0.2.
I have ongoing problems with the host session freezing up. I have had this problem intermittently while working in MMC on the guest, or consistently in MS Excel 2008 on the guest. Because I can consistently reproduce the problem in Excel, I'll focus on it. The session will freze simply by selecting a cell, and then dragging down to select multiple rows of cells. If I exceed the number of rows visible, the Excel session should scroll down. Instead, the entire session becomes unresponsive. I can not move the mouse pointer or switch or any other applications in the remote session. My only option is to shut down the virtual machine and restart it.
I have also had the same problem when navigating MMC. The entire session will sometimes freeze after I click the plus sign to open up an item. In this case, I have not yet identified under what circumstances the "freezing" occurs.

I am experiencing what I think is the same issue. However, my vmware tools (seem) up to date (declared version is 7.7.6, update option is inactive), and there is no svga driver under c:\program files\common files\vmware\drivers (there is one in c:\program files\vmware\vmwaretools\drivers\video though).
The VM freezes after scrolling up/down in notepad++ , exact conditions are hard to define, but usually after 2 minutes of editing a text file a freeze is guaranteed. Only way to recover is a reboot of the VM (a shutdown never completes). Help appreciated.
Host : Ubuntu 9.10,
Version : VMwareServer 2.0.2

Why does a movie/preview freeze when I try to watch it on my itouch?

Why does my itouch freeze when I try to watch a movie/preview from itunes? I tried to watch the preview. I don't want to purchase a movie if that is what is going to happen. The signal on the itouch has full strength. It works when I watch a music video that I have purchased from Itunes. I also have Belkin G-801.11 which is what is required according to the itouch instructions. I have only had the itouch three days and I returned one because of the same thing.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Why my Firefox keeps lagging and freezing when scrolling on Facebook?

When scrolling through Facebook it keeps lagging and freezing for a few seconds, and when it happens it says "Connecting..." on the tab title. It keeps happening while I'm scrolling in the Facebook page, and if I leave the tab with Facebook working all Firefox looks a little laggy.
I've tried some possible solutions here in the support but it keeps happening.
It doesn't happen with others browser, such as Chrome.

Preview freezing when viewing large PDF

Since updating to Yosemite, I have found that when I open a large (book-sized) PDF using Preview, a couple of odd things happen. First, the book opens to the very last page, instead of the first. Then, when I try to scroll back (using any method — I've tried them all) through the book, action inside the app immediately freezes. However, it does not CRASH to the extent that a notification is generated that may be sent to Apple, so I have no reason to believe that Apple is aware of this issue. (Preview isn't even one of the Apple Software application options here in the help center or the public forums.)
A) Has anyone else experienced this? Have you found a solution?
B) Is there a way to communicate with Apple to tell them about these things if a notification is not created by the OS itself?
Thanks.

Same problem--on my mid 2011 MBP but NOT my mid 2010 iMac. It seems like Preview tries to open ALL PDFs--thousands of pages--and gets the spinning beachball. Force Quit shows that it is not responding. I've tried deleting preference files (com.apple.preview), but no luck. The problem has highlighted how much I actually use preview--and left me pretty annoyed!

IPod freezing when scrolling down the music app?

I own a 3rd Generation iPod touch. I plugged it into my computer as usual, but when I decided to disconnect and start listening to the music I had recently put in, I realized that it wouldn't let me scroll very far. I wanted to listen to the Cream albums I had put in my iPod only to realize that I couldn't get past the A's in the list of artists, and if I attempted to go any farther down, it would freeze and crash the music app. My playlists were also wiped blank on my iPod even though they would appear just fine on iTunes when I'd plug in my iPod again.
I've tried resetting and restarting the iPod, closing the music app, and so on, but so far nothing seems to have worked. I don't want to end up having to restore my iPod, because I've a lot of music scattered across different computers and it would be a pain, to say the least, to get that and all the saved photos restored again. Is there anything else I can do?
Thank you,
Clyste

No.

Forms freezes when scroll down datablock

Hi,
I don't know if the following issue should be posted here. If not, please redirect me to the right forum.
When a user scrolls down a datablock (with more than 100 rows), the page freezes and won't respond to any other mouse event. The cursor shows the "busy" symbol. The only thing we can do is to close the applet and the browser. This phenomenon cannot be reproduced. It's arbitrary.
We have oracle application server 10.1.2 with SSL. The datablocks of the forms have the following settings: QUERY_ALL_RECORDS = No, Number of records buffered = 0. The forms are developed under oracle forms 6i and compiled using oracle forms 10g client R2 builder.
We've searched for this known issue and got some results about patches to apply on forms 10g (9.0.4). Are there any similar patches for Oracle forms 10g R2?
If not, how to resolve this freezing issue?
Thanks in advance
Rgds

There was a known issue which caused scrolling to the last record to result in a hang and/or form crash. This issue has been corrected. However, there is no way of actually knowing if this is the same as what you are experiencing. Just because the symptoms of what you describe may be similar to what I described does not necessarily mean the root cause is/was the same.
I would recommend that you are running the latest of all related software. Here are the details related to patches. They should be applied in this order.
1. Patch 10.1.2.3 (released March 2008) Same patch for both iAS and iDS
..... Patch ID 5983622
2. Forms Recommend Patch
..... Patch ID 9282569
3. If you use Jinitiator, the latest version is 1.3.1.30
..... Patch ID 7410076
If you use Sun JRE, the latest is 1.6.0_20 and can be downloaded from here:

Document freezes when scrolling with small black window.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.1 on Microsoft Windows Vista service pack 1.
On many documents downloaded from the web (eg many academic journal articles) a small black rectangle appears in the lower right hand corner of the acrobat window. The rectangle is black, has a red circle with a white cross on the right hand side (looking like a quit button?), and a progress bar, which fills up with a light blue colour, and words below.
The words progress through:
Deskewing Image...
Rotating Image...
Decomposing page...
After which the rectangle disappears. There may be words before or after that are too quick for me to see.
The rectangle appears at the end of a scroll operation, either by dragging with the hand tool, dragging the scroll bar, or even just using the up and down arrow keys. However, it may not happen if the scrolling movement is short. It also occurs immediately after I change any of the preferences.
I have not seen this happen on any documents that I have made myself (by printing to acrobat from Microsoft Word).
I originally had this problem with version 9.0. Upgrading to 9.1 did not fix it.
When a friend views a document that has this problem on my computer using Acrobat 7 the rectangle does not appear at all and the document scrolls normally.
I am guessing that this is something that could be turned off in the settings. I have not been able to find the setting because I do not know what this "feature" is called.
Google searches for terms such as <"deskewing image" "decomposing page"> does not reveal anything, nor did a forum search here for "decomposing"
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

I have the exact same issue, using Adobe Acrobat Pro v 9.0.0,
the difference is it happens for any document, whether I've made it myself or not.
I generate PDFs all the time from CorelDraw X4 and have to open and check them.
The pause whilst it undergoes the messages Steve described is very annoying.
I read online that removing the three "Reader" plugins from the Programme Files folder might help.
I tried that and it did not help.
Below is a screen capture of the problem highlighted in a red outline:
Thank you,

Preview freezes when saving file.

I recently upgraded my iMac to Lion Server and have been having issues with saving files using Preview.
Everytime I Print -> Open PDF in Preview, and try to save, Preview just hangs and I have to do a force quit
This also happens if I have a pdf opened File ->Duplicate -> Save...

Another odd behavior that I am experiencing is when I "Right-click" Preview app on the Dock and select "Show all Windows" several PDF's that have been closed are still showing up as opened. I have gone as far as trying to delete all the files in com.apple.Preview.savedState, but this does not fix it.

What can i do?

You can attempt to reset the PRAM in the machine, but it looks as though there's a hardware problem. It's actually kind of difficult to determine if it's the graphics hardware or the mainboard, but neither are really servicable. You'll want to take it to get serviced.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
