Problems Freezing

I have been having this problem with my Macbook Pro lately. It keeps freezing on me, I can still move the mouse and iTunes still plays, but nothing else will work. I can't force quit anything, I can't change the volume, nothing. I have over 18gb of hard drive space, and have deleted any programs that I don't use. Does somebody have any suggestions?

Having the same issue over here. Noticed it when my screen saver would lock up, so I disabled it. Then started getting it just working. Did a Disk Utility checkup from both the utilities and from the startup disk. Still having issues. Did notice that the computer responds when I attach a mouse rather than trying to use the laptop keyboard and trackpad. Really bad issue though. Any more suggestions?

Upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 - Problems freezing/spinning gear

Hello and Happy Holidays,
I have an 867mHz Titanium G4 Powerbook w/1gig memory, and the stock 30 gig hd. Recently, I upgraded my OS from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3. Since then, I have had weekly freeze-ups and perpetual spinning gears at startup.
Specifically, the freeze-ups occur after the computer has been asleep over night (no joke intended) and awakened. The only way out of this freeze is to restart the powerbook, which then leads to a continuous spinning gear. After this, it becomes necessary to reboot from the Tiger cd, and repair permissions. Upon concluding this step, the computer is operational once again.
Significantly, in 10.3.9 the computer ran beautifully with nary a problem, so I must conclude that the problem is Tiger–not the Tibook. Anyone with some useful thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A Tiger upgrade over Panther hasn't been the best way to go.
Clone your exisiting boot drive to a blank external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner (visit their forums)
Next do a Erase w/Zero option your internal and reinstall Tiger fresh (c boot from installer cd and elect Disk Utility from the installer menu)
Update completely and then install Tiger ready apps from fresh sources.
Aviod using Migration Assistant, it misses copy protection and other things, copies blindly, take the time to clean house properly.
Install files from the clone and when your set then erase the clone and make a new clone from your optimal OS install.
Spotlight and Dashboard will take some CPU here and there and is easily disabled using software by searching Macupdate.com
Tiger 10.4.1 has tested to perform better than Panther 10.3.9 in User Interface and CPU (on some machines)

Problems freezing after update to Mavericks 10.9.5

I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro. all was fine until i clicked the button to update to Mavericks 10.9.5 (and I think there was another update too). Everything froze, the touchpad didn't work,.. nothing. Force quit did nothing. I closed lid - but later when I lifted it, it was all still frozen and I resorted to pressing and holding the on/off button.
I've spent the last 24 hours trying different things - sometimes when it freezes, the laptop seems to think the edge of the screen is in the middle (i.e. keep taking the mouse left and it appears on the right of the screen), and also I am getting funny lines and dots on the screen (is it possible it's my graphics??) and the cursor changes to a funny vertical dotted line.
I tried starting it in safe mode - it got to the log in screen with loads of lines etc. on the screen, but I persevered as I had heard it would produce diagnostics.... anyway I ended up with a blue screen with black lines down it. Eventually I pressed the on/off button again.... so safe mode is not working... (I think.. unless I didn't wait long enough?)
As suggested on here, I went into the library and have now dragged the caches folder onto the desktop, and I am waiting to see if my laptop freezes again. This appears to have copied the folder onto my desktop, rather than moved it - is that right?
Today I have also removed 300GB of photos, as I was down to my last 19GB - just in case that was the problem, but it has frozen since, so I'm guessing not. I have 16GB RAM so that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm fairly new to Mac. I haven't encountered any error codes, just screen freezes and odd graphics. I haven't been able to find where the diagnostics are to run. When it freezes, it gets very hot, so I have been pressing the on/off button and letting it cool off.
I'm still awaiting to see if it happens again, but I wondered has anyone else experienced anything similar or does anyone have any advice. Any advice gratefully received!

Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.
Restart and run the combo updater.
OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update (Combo)

However, you might need to reinstall OS X in the Recovery Drive. This process should not damage your data but it's always advised that you backup first.
If you don't have a clone backup it's time to start. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. You will need an external drive to backup your data.

Free space: It suggested you have a minimum of 10% free but this can vary depending on the size of the drive. When you get below 10GB free you need to start moving files off the drive.
You can keep your iPhoto and iTunes Libraries on an external drive. Hold down the option key when launching the app to point to the new library location.

HDD Problem - Freezes for a while during linux init

I've got a problem with my HDD. My Arch usually boots like thunderbolt, but since 3-4 days it freezes for a while before login screen. So I checked dmesg and this is what I found:

@pok0j
You best bet at getting the most uncorrupted data out of that disk, is to stop using it until you get a new disk that is at least twice as big as that one. The reason is that when you get a new disk, you want to try to do a full disk image in one go and get as much data out as possible before more data corruption occurs or the disk stops working at all.
The twice as large requirement is because you can then take your time to extract the files you want from the image and have enough free space to store them. After that make a backup strategy if you don't have one yet.
@drhill1
Has far as I know, both Current_Pending_Sector and Offline_Uncorrectable attributes start out at zero and 1) increase when there is a problem with a sector, 2) decrease when the problem is solved either by overwriting the affected sectors or when the sectors get reallocated thus decreasing the count, which should return to zero when there are no more sectors with problems. This implies that the count should never exceed the total number of user addressable sectors. Like I said, I have never seen any disk where those attributes didn't make sense, if those attributes weren't defined they wouldn't be reported I suppose.

CVS problem (freezing) with JDeveloper

Using JDeveloper 9.0.5.1 build 1605, i am having a real weird problem with cvs. cvsnt has been installed in both my laptop and server. When connecting to local cvs server everything is fine. but when i try to connect to a remote server, suddenly the computer freezes. the freezing goes on for about 10 seconds, then everything gets back to normal, and after 5 seconds or so, everything freezes again. this goes on till i kill jdeveloper process.
the freezing goes on for a while after i kill it, but it goes away after that. but after that all my networking goes weird, and i can no longer ping the cvs server.
using eclipse, and tortoise from windows explorer i can connect to remote server without problems. i am using pserver, and my os is windows xp pro with sp2. I have also tried preview version of jdeveloper, but the symptoms are the same, even if i choose to use the cvs version that comes with jdeveloper or use the one from the environment vars (path)
so has anyone experienced such a problem? any help would be appraciated a lot.
Best Regards
Seref Arikan

Hi,
Just a few questions to try and track down why this is happening.
Which version of cvsnt are you using, could you paste the output of cvs --version into this thread?
Do you have a large repository? JDeveloper did have some problems with cvs support being over chatty when trying to find incoming changes. JDeveloper was making more connections to the cvs server than were being cleared up effectively DOSing the cvs repos.
10.1.3 Production should have fixed this, could you give it a try?
It sounds like something is stopping network connections from being freed.
Thanks,
Geoff

K8N Neo2 boot problems, freezes at testing base and extended memory

I recently bought a motherboard/cpu combo and been having problems. I'll start with my system specs:
MSI K8N Neo 2
AMD 64 3000+ Rev E
XFX Geforce 6600GT
Corsair Valueselect 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 , 4 512MB sticks
400W Powersupply
I ordered a mother/cpu combo along with other parts to build a new computer. Finally everything arrived a couple days ago and I started building. First I installed the mb, cpu, ram and vid card to make sure everything was working. When I started it up I got nothing. So I started messing around and dropped the ram down to only one stick and used the D-Bracket. I figured out the cpu had been dislodged during shipping, got it installed again and was able to boot up could get into the bios etc. I put back in my other three sticks of ram everything seems to be working. Next I hooked up the hd, cd/dvd etc. Tried to boot up and it freezes after listing the total memory. Looking at the D-Bracket it shows it freezes at Testing Base and Extended Memory. So I unplug everything back down to just cpu, ram and vid card to see if it still works. It freezes again at testing base and extended memory.
At this point I drop the ram back down to one stick. It boots up and I can get into the bios again. So I shut everything off and put back in the rest of the ram. Turn it on and it freezes at the same point. Hmm, drop it back down to one stick and I can make it through to the bios. Now I'm just frustrated and want to see if I can get my other components working and maybe windows installed then I'll come back to figuring this out. So I save and exit the bios, while it's rebooting again it freezes at the Testing base and extended memory.
After playing around with it some more over the past day here is what I've come to see. If I move one stick of ram around I can get past the testing extended memory to get into the bios or up to the point of needing a boot disk etc. If I reset or reboot it from this point it will freeze. If I just leave my computer alone and off for around 30 minutes I can start it up once then it will freeze. Now I'm just confused why it will intially start up as everything is ok but freeze if it resets. Everytime it freezes it will be at the Testing Base and Extended Memory.
Some things I have tried while talking to a friend about the problem is clearing the cmos and also putting in the ram settings in the bios. Neither seems to work. I've done a lot of searching on google and in this forum and haven't seen anyone talk about a problem like this so hopefully I'm not missing anything.
If there's anything else you guys need to know about my setup let me know. I also hope I wrote this all clearly because at this point I'm pretty frustrated.
Thanks!

Ok, newest update.
After clearing the cmos I put in a stick of ram. Everything loaded up ok and I went into the bios and entered the values (2.5-3-3-8) and 2.75V. To my amazement it didnt' lock up after saving and exiting and it made it through to the Disk Boot Failure etc. So I hit the reset button to see if it would go all the way through again and it froze again with D-Bracket LEDs showing the Testing base and extended. I turned off the case with the on off switch in the back and powered up again. It went right through in the past I'd have to wait. So it seemed like things were a little better.
So I put in a second stick of ram and it booted all the way through, tried to reset to see what would happen and it froze. Turned power on and off and it froze not making it anywhere. Tried that a few more times and it would always freeze right away making no progress.
Back down to one stick of ram and it works again where I can go into the bios, save and exit and it'll make it through a full boot up to Disk Boot Failure. Weird thing was once after just hitting the reset button it actually made it all the way through. So it seems to act differently almost everytime.
To me at least there doesn't seem to be a logical way I can think of what the problem could be.

ITunes & Device Syncing Problems FREEZING

My mom updated my version of iTunes while I was away from home for a week and ever since I have been unable to use it for anything.
I can't run any other programs if iTunes is open because CPU usage spikes to maximum.
I can't sync my iPod Touch 4G OR update its iOS software because it freezes in both instances part way through backing up the device.
I have even tried to just let it finish syncing overnight, thinking maybe it would eventually make it, when I woke up this morning it was still at the same level of 'backing up' as when I went to bed.
I've never had problems with my iTunes or iPod like this. Help?!

Hey there,
Well I think the get a Mac ads finally paid off...
Plug your iPhone into your computer and click on the Photos tab that comes up. Make the checkbox is ticked so iTunes actually syncs your photos. I recommend you make a new folder called "Photos" or whatever and place all the photos you want to be in your iPhone in that folder. Then in the Photos tab in iTunes, select that "Photos" folder to be imported into your iPhone. Finnaly press the "Apply" button in the bottom right and then press the "Sync" button. This should clear your problems.

P55-GD65 Problem Freezes / Shuts Down unexpextedly

Hi all,
I've recently received a replacement P55-GD65 part for my pc upgrade. The first mobo was broken but I'm not sure wether the current one is any better.
I have a freezing problem with my set up. After I power up it goes to post and lauches windows. However, within 5 to 10 minutes the system just shuts down on its own. Sometimes this happens already in BIOS when I've been looking around for a solution for some time.
After power down pressing the power button doesn't help. I have to disconnect power cord from PSU and wait a bit before reconnecting for the power button to work again.
I've been reading other posts and people have the similar problems, but none of the solutions have resolved my problem.
I've tried putting OC genie on - no solution.
I've tried using only 1 memory - no solution. and yes I've taken the memories out and reincerted them.
I've tried setting BIOS to optimized defaults - no solution.
I've tried setting memory speed down from Geil automatic 1333MHz to 1060MHz - no solution.
I've tried setting memory voltage up from Geil automatic 1,5V to 1,6V - no solution.
I've tried taking CPU out and replaced it in the socket - no solution.
I've updated Intel drivers from MSI website.
I've updated other drivers from the CD that came with the mobo.
BIOS version is 1.3
There has been a lot of discussion about corsair memory modules but none about the GEIL ones I have. Has anyone experience with the memory I have? According to MSI website P55-GD65 is tested with a dual setup of 2g Geil memory that I have, and should be ok.
Can anyone lend a hand so that I can get my pc running. This has by far been the most troublesome upgrade for me.
Thanks for replies!

TheManitee, 1st you hijack this thread demanding help and you don't even have the same MB & other parts. Please start your own new topic instead of hijacking another persons. >> Please read and comply with the Forum Rules << >> Posting Guide <<
To me it looks like not a single one of you has bothered to up date BIOS which has over time had numerous memory compatibility fixes.
Update BIOS, get Crucial RAM.
>> Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher <<
I am not able to update the bios because my pc would crash before allowing me to. I asked MSI to update the BIOS before sending the board to me.

Nokia N95 8gb problems - freezing, fuzzy screen et...

Ok so been using the Nokia N95 8gb phone for about a week now and noticed that there is a tendency for the phone to freeze for up to 10 seconds like when opening other things such as Inbox etc. The problems mainly occur when the phone is slid shut, then when resliding the phone open the phone freezes or sometimes screen stays black until battery is taken out!
When the phone is slid shut sometimes the screen goes fuzzy in places aswell like a TV with no reception. The text and theme on the phone sometimes goes a dodgy colour aswell like a negative photo and sometimes even goes back to front and the wrong way round?? Anyone else had similar problems or knows what this is??

Its unlikely to have the same issue after doing a software upgrade, it could be some application on your memory card or the simcard .
You may try the steps below
- A soft reset by keying in *#7780# when on standby - This will not delete any data but will restore all the settings back to default.
If that does not help then you may wanna try doing a hard reset by keying in *#7370# when on standby - This will reformat the phone. DO NOT FORGET TO DO A BACK UP AS THIS WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE PHONE MEMORY.
The security code by default is 12345
Also would be best to reformat your memory card and sim cards well as there might be some applications in there which is causing your phone to lag.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

COMPAQ NC6000- PROBLEM FREEZING

MY Compaq NC6000 Pen 4 1.6 GHz 512 MB. when windows is set to the right time and date system freezes. ( all system is new install os-XP-pro) think is bios issue. another problem hp doesnt have an update for this system.QQ. but when system is not set to proprer time and date system runs fine. turns on and off fine. all systems are good( in divice manager).

Hi:
Here are all the BIOS release notes for the nc6000. None address a freezing issue when the date and time is correctly set.

Are you are aware of a system board problem that develops in many of the nc6000's over time?
See this post. That power chip could be starting to go out on you.

Eventually your notebook will just shut down on its own. The way to test for a bad solder connection is to press down on the silver paneal above the F10-F11 keys. If your notebook unfreezes it won't be long before it is not going to work at all.

Another mail problem, freezes, won't accept any account...

So I got a new rMBP and swapped everything from my other MBP. The original one is also running mavericks. I did the migration assistant, everything transferred. Then I open mail, and it prompts for an account setup. Upon entering account info, it either crashes or freezes mail.
If you look in the accounts menu, all of the previous accounts did transfer, just mail did not pick them up. In Mail, under the Mail menu, preferences is greyed out. It doesn't matter if they are gmail or "AOL" accounts Mail doesn't recognize them. I contacted Apple Care, they did a screen share, and didn't have any idea either, and were going to escalate to an engineer. I've been waiting 5 days now, so I'm hoping someone can offer some sort of workaround/fix.
Anyone have any idea of a way around this? What is very interesting, is if I create a new user on the machine, and log in there, I can set up Mail properly. Which tells me something stupid got tweaked during the transfer.
This is my main machine for business, so I really would like to get my email working.

I have the same problem and so far have not been able to find a fix for it. Did you manage to find out how to fix this? Thanks

Major iTunes problems - freezing, crashing

I'm having major problems with iTunes (OS 10.7.3). I was running iTunes 10.6 and I downgraded to 9.2.1 to see if that helped but it didn't; problems in both versions. Essentially, iTunes hangs or freezes with a spinning beach ball quite often, during the following operations:
- determining gapless playback
- converting to mp3
- syncing to my iPod (it will often say a file is damaged and can't be transferred; this includes songs I've downloaded from the iTunes store)
- sometimes for no apparent reason, i.e., in the midst of playing a song when I'm not even using my computer for anything else
Occasionally, the freeze is so bad it locks up my entire MacBook Pro and I can't even use force quit—I have to hard restart my computer to get it to respond again. This happens every time I try to convert a song to mp3, for example.
I've tried a lot of things, none of which have seemed to resolve the problem. Things I've done:
- trashing my entire iTunes library and rebuilding from scratch by re-adding all the songs and re-syncing to my iPod
- downgrading to 9.2.1
- starting both versions of iTunes in safe mode (problems still happen); I believe I've gotten rid of any 3rd party extensions but happy for suggestions to the contrary if some are hard to find
- deleting songs that iTunes seems to have a particularly hard time with (though I'd like to be able to listen to these some day, of course!)
- constant checking for software updates in hopes of a fix...
Anyone had a similar problem and managed to solve it successfully? I like to listen to music a lot so having iTunes out of commission and being unable to sync anything new to my iPod without major fights is making me a little crazy. Thank you!

Alright, so on my laptop I got my library to work on the D drive, but guess what. My 40GB iPod won't be recognized by the computer or iTunes but i don't really care about that iPod. My 60GB iPod is recognized somewhat but iTunes says something like "the iPod cannot be read... blah blah blah... you should restore your iPod." I am to the point of refusing to restore my iPod because I did that a few weeks ago for my desktop computer and I had to wait a full 36 hours for another non-Apple program to recover the data on my iPod because iTunes wouldn't sink it. No wonder I don't want to restore my iPod. Please someone help me!

5th Gen Ipod/Itunes 7.2 Problems (Freezing, Ipod corruption, slow upload..)

Let's catalogue our problems with the 5th generation IPod and ITunes 7.2, shall we? My IPod has worked fine for the last 11 months, I downloaded the new ITunes and now things have started going wrong.
I plugged my IPod into my computer (like I always do) and it said didn't recognize my IPod as "MY Ipod." It then said the IPod was corrupted and to restore it. I restored it, then it froze. I restored it again and then started uploading my 12,000 songs. Halfway through, it froze.
So I restored again. Started uploading again. I ejected the IPod, let it rest for a bit, then connected it again. Then it froze. Plugged it back in. IPod corrupted. Restore. Re-connect. Re-freeze. Restore again. Notice a pattern?
Now I've been patient after repeating this cycle a number of times. At this point, 11,000 of my songs have uploaded and I just have about a thousand more... then the upload started going slow. Rather than being a couple of seconds per song, it's now about a minute per song. It'll probably freeze soon, corrupt the IPod, and then I'll have to restore again.
Anyone having the same problem? What have you done? I find it ridiculous that my 400 dollar, 11 month old IPod was treated impeccably and then suddenly stops working once Apple released a new ITunes platform.

I know what you're talking about...
I do regret updating to 7.0.2
After the upgarde it also says that my iPod is corrupt and needs to be restored. However, if I do connect it to my other computer with the 7.0.1 version of iTunes, it works perfectly. And of course the iPod itself also works great.
So, I don't wanna follow the instructions at you did as I guess that it wouldn't help a bit. As usual, all upgades of firmware or iTunes seems to get something other wrong.
Apple! Fix this now. It's really a pest that every update destroys something else. Good ****, you're even worse than Microsoft!

Still Mavericks causes problems freezing Mission Control

Hello,
As the suggestions I've received in this discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23642587#23642587
Try removing Soundflower since it has not been updated in a very long time. Follow these instructions from its developer's website:
http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/
There is a short video explaining how to uninstall it. If uninstalling it does not help, and you really need it, you can always reinstall it again from the developer's website.
If that does not help please start a new Discussion because there will be other things to check.)
, I've already unistalled SoundFlowers and, as I espected, doesn't make any difference: Launch Pad is still freezing when I change pages.
I report here the new discussion.
Let's see if John Galt can help me again!
Cheers,
Enrico

I had no such problem, but as I said, graphic acceleration seems to be deactivated; I haven't noticed any CPU hog, so I suspect it's a juvenile bug. Strange is the fact that no-one seems to experience my issues, even also the one with the trackpad. I think I'm going to wait 10.9.1 at least, and test it on an external drive (to preserve my ML installation).
