Problem with freezing.

I don't have a clue why, but my iBook G4 has a habit of freezing at completely random times. It usually happens when playing music or movie. It just randomly stops, and repeats the last second or so of what it did. So, for instance, if I was playing a song, it would freeze and repeat the last second of the song until I forced the computer to shut down. When this isn't happening, the computer runs just fine, no other problems, like nothing is wrong at all. Does anyone have any idea whatsoever is wrong with it?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.
Good luck and let us know!

Problem with freeze on Document forms

Hi all,
i've a problem with freeze on document's forms (like invoice) when i make changes on matrix.
For example i've an addon that calculate discounts for items and update the information in the matrix. But when I update the info in the Matrix I see the cursor run across the matrix.
This create two problems. The first one is the orrible aspect that the operation assume, the second is that sometimes some cells turn to black and remain ofthis color.
Can someone help me?
Here I post a piece of my code:
    Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form = SBOApplication.Forms.Item(FormUID)
    Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix = oForm.Items.Item("38").Specific
    Dim oRefLine As Integer = 0
    oForm.Freeze(True)
    Dim Cnt As Integer = 1
    Try
      While Cnt <= oMatrix.RowCount
        If oMatrix.Columns.Item("U_RefLineId").Cells.Item(Cnt).Specific.Value <> "" Then
          Dim apDouble As Double = oMatrix.Columns.Item("15").Cells.Item(Cnt).Specific.Value.ToString.Replace(".", ",")
          If apDouble <> 100 Then
            SetMatrixValue(oMatrix, "U_RefLineId", Cnt, "")
            SetMatrixValue(oMatrix, "11", Cnt, oMatrix.Columns.Item("U_OrigQtyMN").Cells.Item(Cnt).Specific.Value)
            SetMatrixValue(oMatrix, "U_OrigQtyMN", Cnt, 0)
            Cnt = Cnt + 1
          Else
            oMatrix.Columns.Item("15").Cells.Item(Cnt).Click()
            SBOApplication.ActivateMenuItem("1293")
          End If
        Else
          SetMatrixValue(oMatrix, "15", Cnt, 0)
          Cnt = Cnt + 1
        End If
      End While
    Catch ex As Exception
      SBOApplication.StatusBar.SetText("Error: " & ex.Message, SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, SAPbouiCOM.BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_Error)
    End Try
    oForm.Freeze(False)

Hi Daniele,
I use a little different approach because the Freeze on a Form is like parenthesis on formula. You must be sure that the Freeze(true) are balanced by a Freeze(false).
So my pattern is:
Try
    oForm.Freeze(True)
    ' the operation you need to do with the freezed form
Catch Ex as Exception
    ' Menage the errors here
Finally
    oForm.Freeze(False)
End Try
The Finally statement is executed in both case when an Exception is raised or when the code is right executed.
But I think this is not the problem in your code.
If you still having problem, probably we need to examine your sub-routine "SetMatrixValue".
It is also important to know your SAP Business One version because in the past there was a version with a problem in the refresh of matrix.
I use SAP Business One 2007A SP01 PL06 HF1 and I do not have problem with the freezing.
Hope it helps.

ITunes 6.0 problem with freezing HELP ME

I just downloaded iTunes 6.0 today for Windows. I have up to date Windows and I've never had a problem with iTunes before. But now, when I attatch my iPod, or open iTunes when my iPod is already attatched, iTunes freezes almost immediately - or it freezes the instant I try to put any songs from my library on to it. I don't know what to do!

By chance, I've found a solution.
I have Sysinternals's Process Explorer, which is a more powerful alternative to the Windows Task Manager. It's available at http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html.
While iTunes was frozen, I brought up Process Explorer, did a right click on the iTunes process, and selected "Bring to Front." After a few moments, it brought iTunes up, and it was no longer frozen.
I haven't so far needed to do it more than once.

Imported DVD clips using dropDV - problems with freezing

I bought a copy of DropDV so i could make FCP-importable mpeg files from some dvd's i made.
Problem is, when i drag any of these files into my source window in FCP, the clip will play for a few seconds then freeze. if i mark an in and out and move it into my sequence timeline it plays fine - but i can't watch them in the source monitor (the sound continues after it freezes).
I have 2gb RAM and i even went into the system preferences of FCP (4.5) and boosted the numbers there but it's still not working - the g5 we have at work does not have this problem.
not sure how many people here use dropDV with FCP, but if anyone has any suggestions i'd appreciate it!
thanks

it's a 2gb video clip file, if that makes a difference.<<</div>
hmmmmm. 2gb is the size file limit for drives formatted as FAT32 and since I don't believe in coincidences, that makes me suspicious. It might be nothing, but you may want to verify that the drive that the clip is stored on is formatted as "Mac OS Extended."

Problem with freezing and hour glass comes on as if updating every 10 minutes or so and lasts for 52 seconds or more.

When I am on a site, any site, or writing an email every ten minutes or so, the hour glass comes on and I cannot do anything but wait. I think it is updating something. How can I stop this?

Updating to Firefox 8.0 might do it, unless there is damage to the places.sqlite indexes, anyway this is the fix, and I actually option (same as all options).
freezing at regular intervals: http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals

:<br>Install add-on, run at least the option mentioned in the article, I ran them all. When finished you can uninstall the extension, all without taking taking Firefox down, The extension is one of the new JetPack extensions.
Thought I was having that problem right now, but it's my anti-virus scan, usually ties things up pretty much.

How can I solve my problems with freezing issues with Lion?

I have a MacBook Pro from may 2010 and recently purchased Lion from the App Store and installed it as suggested. Since then my mouse goes crazy and gets hung up and pages take a lot to load and freezing becomes a continuous thing. Freezing even occurs once a page is open and I want to move downwards or upwards.

How do I do that? By the way my Snow Leopard was the one that came installed in my machine when I purchased it.
Do you have any data on the machine which needs to be saved? If not, I'd just erase the HD and install from the disc which came with your Mac.
If you do have data and/or don't want to start from scratch, and you have the backup I mentioned in my first post, either restore from Time Machine, or clone back from the clone (depending on which backup you have on an external HD).

Problems with freezing, error msg, etc.

Less than one yr. old, Mac mini OS X 10.8.5 - First problem started a few days ago when I was suddenly disconnected while viewing YouTube, (black screen with "error msg) waited awhile and was able to connect again only to have it disconnect again. This went on intermittently for a day until I called my internet provider, they rebooted my modem and everything seemed to get back to normal…. still get disconnected but not nearly as much. Since then, I am also randomly getting the little colored pinwheel, and in iTunes "Store" I get the "rebuffering msg" box while trying to listen to songs for potential purchase etc. Don't know if this is all related or separate issues. I am extremely NOT tech savvy, I bought this Mac mini mostly for music (iTunes, slowdown, youtube etc.) & for general use. I have no games etc., hardly no videos or pictures. Any help that I can understand would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Probably get better and quicker answers if you post this the the Photosop Elements forum. Here is the link. http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements

Ipod nano 2gig - consistent problems with freezing?? should i bin it?

Hi, I have either a 1st or 2nd nano 2 gig and about 4 months back it froze and battery seemed to die out. I have just been using my wives since but she needs hers...and i need my one to work its not very old i had had it perhaps a year when it happended. Since i have tried connecting it to my mac...it recognises it still and indeed charges it...However as soon as i eject it the ipod doesn't respond...then it gradually will lose its charge again. I have held down the centre and menu button and also i have restored it in itunes sevral times...I have also charged it via a wall socket charger which again brought it back to life and charged it but as soon as i unplug or disconnect it it seems to be frozen on the language selection display....and i can not select english and continue its just frozen??
Anybody have any advice or tips? ??

hi michaeljohn_jennings!
I hope this helps...
Reset iPod (holding menu and centre buttons) then just after the screen goes black, press and hold the centre and rewind or back buttons. this should give you the iPod diagnostics. use the back and forward buttons to navigate to Power (the little > sign moves up and down). Hit the centre button and click on to charge current. it should say 120mA (or somewhere near that). If it's any lower than 115mA, then the battery is dead. Then, you will have to take it to an Apple store. If it says 120mA, then you might wanna go through the menus, and play with the tests.
to get out of iPod diagnostics, scroll down to Others and click on Reset test.

Total iMac failure! Please help. Problems with freezing, and time machine

My iMac has started to go crazy over the last week. It started crashing repeatedly, so much so that it could take me 10 tries just to get it going. I was able to run disk warrior and disk utility and neither of those came up with any issues. I took it into the apple store and they repaired permissions and cleared the cache and of course nothing happened while the mac was in the store.
When I came home I started trying to clear out excess files and organize to save space and memory. I downloaded cleanmymac as well as crucial.com's scanner as recommended by the mac genius. Unfortunately, that night after everything had been working fine, the computer started crashing all over again. I get lines through my screen, it locks up, things get distorted, etc.
In addition, I noticed today that all of my time machine backups have been deleted from my machine. The only one that exists is a huge one that was created the day after it was examined at the store. I have no idea how that happened as I have not touched the time machine settings. To make matters worse, the time machine will not even back up now. It says there isn't enough space. (There are 160GB available). Shouldn't it just be making incremental backups? All I am doing at this point is deleting files anyway!
If anyone has any suggestions at all, please offer them!!!

Hi, unfortunately it sounds as though your Mac needs the attentions of an Apple Service Technician.
You do not say how old your Mac is or if you have Applecare..
In any event I feel you will do best as I previously said -> Apple Service Technician.
Don't forget to L I S T all your issues/worries......L

Problems with freezing during playback with iDVD

I've created a movie using Final Cut Express 3.0.1 and when I burn it to iDVD everything appears fine - even in preview. However, when I play back on my computer or in another DVD player it keeps freezing. I've burned my movie 5 times - and each time it freezes in different parts of the movie.
Any ideas?

HI MGD:
Welcome to discussions!
What type of media did you use? Verbatim DVD-R 4x or less seems to work very well.
Len Goff (iDVD Guru)often suggests this:
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

When will Apple fix the problem with Freezing from the new upgrade??

I've had it.
Everytime I try to burn or back up my iTunes songs the whole program locks up as soon as I click on any of the brun or back up icons. Haven't been able to find any answers to solve my problem here although Apples tech support insists on looking here. Come on Apple what gives??

No one here would know that. An announcement would need to come from Apple.

Is anyone else having terrible problems with random freezing?

For the most part, Lion runs nicely for me. It's faster, has some neat features... but that's only when it actually runs.
I have some terrible problems with freezing, sometimes as early as typing in my password to login to my profile on my MacBook Pro. Just now it froze twice (after booting up), and both times I had to turn it off and power it back on again. The first freeze was caused because I moved my mouse a little bit on the screen.
I understand that new versions of OSs have bugs to iron out, but this seems extremely over the top. Is anyone else having issues with freezing this bad? I'm afraid to use any of the cool new features of Lion because my computer has proven it can freeze for the absolute tiniest things.

Tons of threads like this, the solution is to disable automatic graphic switching. Personally I'm doing automatic login, allows me to boot in before the freeze occurs when it happens at login. Crazy.
