Random Freeze in iMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 non stop

Hi, I aplogize if this post is long but I really need help.
I have a
iMac 7.1 OSX 2Ghz intel Core 2Duo / Memory 3 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM originally running (10.4.10.)
I installed Snow Leopard about two years ago and I never had problems, and kept making the software updates.
Although, around 10 months ago it started to freeze, no mouse moving, nothing, just froze and I had ( and still don't ) no option but to shut it down at the start up button which causes me sometimes to repair the volume.
At first it happened sporadically but then the problem increased and now it happens from around 20 minutes in 20 minutes and it doesn't matter which app I am using or even if I am just at the desktop or checking my mail. It is completely random.
*This problem does not happen when I am logged in Safe Boot.*
I tried all of this troubleshooting:
Repair Disk permissions on the disk.
Repair Permissions from the installer.
I ran ONYX with all items on maintenance selected.
I did Erase and Install and then restored my back up from Time Machine for at least five times.
I did an Erase and Install and then brought only some files from my documents at Time Machine, no apps, but it froze the first time I was downloading "App Cleaner".
I uninstalled Dropbox, disabled Growl, updated all my apps.
I ran hardware test and all is fine.
Finally I took it to maintenance, it did no froze while at the shop, they ran tests for bad blocks and the disk is fine and the hardware too.
They cleaned it inside, checked the memories and all was fine.
Then I brought it home. Restored my full back up from Time Machine and the freeze happened immediately.
I could see at console this thread I paste below so I tried to uninstall iStat wondering if I had a bug with Lisbon/Portugal time.
This problem does not happen when I am in safe boot.
It did not happen with a spare user account but this one was empty.
I am wondering if I've a problem with cache and my current user account but I don't understand anything about this subject.
And I would like to ask if by making an Erase and Install but creating a different user account, then use the Apple bundle for updating to 10.6.8 and not doing it with software update as I usually do
and, then bring only my documents, pictures and movies with Migration Assistant instead of restoring my back up from Time Machine would solve this problem or,
there is someone who can help me and explain if I need to delete some cache files somewhere. I am quite distressed by now as it has been around one month and I can barely work on this computer.
Or how can I bring safely my files with another user account without bringing caches?
Thanks, C.

Funny how this is a completely ignored post here, because I think you are far from the only one suffering from this. I have a 2006 2.16 GHz C2D 2GB RAM at my parents house that they use for some Word Processing, light browsing and occasional Photoshop. This computer seems to be suffering the exact same fate as you described your own. Though the nature of the issue makes me think that this could actually be a hardware issue. We have a classroom full of these models at a local university and a lot of them suffer from video card issues - basically they all detach from the motherboard after a while. It seems that it's a heat issue, but the classroom is actually fairly ventilated. Not to be paranoid or anything but the rate at which these issues occur makes me conspiratically think that this is a case of planned obsolescence. Though in any case I still would like to hear an official reply from an Apple Engineer. Tough luck for us...

All 30 minutes my Macs (iMac/Snow Leopard, MacMini/Lion) are loosing the connection to the Windows Servers (2 Networks: Home with Home Server 2011 (Server 2008) and Office with Home Server V1 (Server 2003)).

Hallo,
Ich betreibe im Büro und zu Hause jeweils einen Microsoft Home Server. In beiden Netzwerken ist neben diversen Windows Rechnern auch ein Mac vorhanden.
Die jeweilige "Konfiguration" ist wie folgt:
- Apple MacMini (Late 2011, als HTPC) mit Lion per Wlan über AVM Fritzbox 7390 an Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
- Apple iMac (Late 2010, Arbeitsplatzrechner) mit Snow Leopard per Lan über AVM Fritzbox 7270 an Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
Alle Betriebssysteme sind auf aktuellem Stand.
Die Fritzboxen laufen mit der jeweils aktuellen Firmware
Nun zu dem Problem:
Beide Macs unterbrechen ca. alle 30 min den Kontakt zum Server. Die Verbindung wird zwar ca. 1-2 Minute später wieder aufgebaut, aber am MacMini (HTPC) macht sich dadurch bemerkbar, daß der Film oder die Musik für obige Zeitspanne stoppt und danach weiterläuft. Beim iMac (Arbeitsrechner) kann ein zuvor vom Server geladenes Dokument dann nicht mehr gespeichert oder gedruckt werden.
Der MacMini hat dieses Phänomen direkt bei der Verbindung mit dem WHS gezeigt. Der iMac hat jedoch zuvor ca. 1,5 Jahre ohne Probleme funktioniert. Dieses Problem tritt bei dem iMac (Snow Leopard) erst seit ca. 6-9 Monate auf.
Da unterschiedliche WHS und OS X Versionen betroffen sind und auch unterschiedliche Fritzboxen verwendet werden und scheint ein allgemeines Problem im Zusammenspiel Windows/OS X vorzuliegen.
Bei dem iMac fällt der genaue Zeitpunkt der Verbindungsunterbrechung nicht auf.
Bei dem MacMini läßt sich der Zeitpunkt dagegen relativ leicht bestimmen. Aus der Ereignisanzeige beim Windows Server ergibt sich leider kein eindeutiges Fehlerbild. Zu dem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt taucht aber relativ oft, aber nicht immer (!), in "Windows-Protokolle Sicherheit" der Fehler 4625 ("Fehler beim Anmelden eines Kontos") auf. Dies würde auf eine Rechteproblematik hindeuten. Das Konto des Mac kann aber alles was ihm auf dem WHS erlaubt ist.
Beim Suchen nach einer Lösung (bisher leider erfolglos) bin ich u.a. auch über das Problem des Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) beim Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials gestolpert (auch alle 30 min!). Vielleicht ein Zusammenhang?
Hello,
I run the office and at home each a Microsoft Home Server. In both networks, in addition to various Windows computers, a Mac is available.
The particular "configuration" is as follows:
- Apple MacMini (Late 2011, as HTPC) with Lion via wifi via AVM Fritzbox 7390 to Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
- Apple iMac (Late 2010, desktop PC) with Snow Leopard by Lan on AVM Fritzbox 7270 on Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
All operating systems on current conditions with all patches and updates.
The Fritz boxes running with the latest firmware
Now to the problem:
Both Macs are loosing every 30 minutes the contact to the server. The connection is "re-"established about 1-2 minutes later. On MacMini (HTPC), the film or music is stopped for the above period. Thereafter, the film / music goes on. With the iMac (workstation) a document loaded from the server can no longer be saved or printed.
The MacMini has shown this phenomenon directly in connection with the WHS. However, the iMac has been working about 1.5 years with no problems. This problem only occurs for about 6-9 months
Because of different WHS and OS X versions are affected and also different Fritz boxes are used and it seems to be a general problem in the interplay Windows / OS X to be present.
When the iMac is the exact date of disconnection does not occur.
With the Mac Mini, the time can however be determined relatively easily. From the Event Viewer on Windows Server is unfortunately no clear error image. At the particular time but appeared relatively often, but not always (!) In Windows Security Logs the error 4625 (Failed to log on an account) on. This would indicate a rights issue.
Searching for a solution (so far unsuccessfully, unfortunately), I stumbled over the problem of the Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (every 30 min!). Maybe a connection?

Hi, and thank you for your reply!
My reason for not posting this in the server forum is that I suspect it is a clien issue. All my other clients connect happily to the server which leads me to believe the server is configured correctly.
Only my the two MacBook Pro's are having problems.

I want to restore my iMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Factory Settings

Hi,
I want to restore my iMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Factory Settings but the problem is I don't have OS Disc because it wasn't shipped with iMac. Also, when I restart the system and press Command+R nothing shows it just starting as usual. Could you help me please?
Regards.

Command + r won't work with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) - it only works with Lion and Mountain Lion. Did you buy the Mac new - if so it would have shipped with 2 grey disks, one for restoring and one with the iLife apps and a few other bits. If these are missing you'll need to call Apple and purchase replacements giving them the serial number of the Mac. They will make a modest charge for this.

What version of Safari are you running now (click on safari in the menu bat , about Safari)
5.1.10 is the latest version for SL.If you are getting a message from Yahoo saying you need to update Safari, ingnore it, it is an issue at their end.
If you have a lower version than listed above,
Make sure you have run these 2 updates:

What is best password AP to sync with Imac (Snow Leopard)?

What is best password AP to sync with Imac (Snow Leopard)?

Here are a few analog to digital devices and approaches I have had success with:
1. Sony DA-2
2. Most Name brand Firerwire or i.Link Minidv Camcorders with Digital Pass thru feature will suffice since more often than not this feature is also included ... But read the owner's manual or check online to make certain it's included.
3. Canopus products work perfectly nearly 100% of the time and will keep the video and audio in synch much better than other devices. It can take the form of a pci card (if your mac is so equipped) and if not, then a canopus media converter box will also work (as already mentioned above):

4. Another approach I use to simply "dump" mini dv or VHS tapes to Dvd-R is a DVD Player/Recorder like the one shown below with Digital inputs. In this case (i.Link / FW)):

How do I send files from my IMAC via bluetooth to my new Ipad? They will not "pair" but they are connected and discoverable. I send a file from Imac snow leopard OS X 10.6 to the ipadusing bluetooth, but the failure message says the ipad does not have the necessary services. What are these? Do I neeed to have iphoto and ms word to send pix and .doc files?

File Sharing over Bluetooth is not a feature of iOS devices. iOS does not include the required Bluetooth profiles to allow this. You cannot add this feature, so you may as well stop trying.

Networking imac (snow leopard) to power pc (tiger)

Trying to network my new iMAC (snow leopard) to my older Power PC (tiger). The iMAC can see the computer, however it comes up as connection failed every time I try to connect. I have other macs network to both of these computers, however there seems to be an issue with this iMAC to Power PC/TIGER.

Not that I can offer any help with the OP's problem but I also have a similar issue. In my case, I have three computers: an iMac i5 quad-core running Lion (10.7.1), a mac mini core 2 duo (the last one made just before the i5 versions) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and an iBook G4 running Leopard (10.5.8). The Lion machine and the Leopard machine can share via AFP and Screen Sharing both ways just fine. The Snow Leopard machine sees the Leopard machine and can share via AFP but gets a "connection failed" when attempting a Screen Sharing. The Leopard machine can see the Snow Leopard machine in the Finder but attempts to connect to it via AFP or Screen Sharing gets a "connection failed" message. Neither the Lion nor Snow Leopard machines see each other in Finder.
On the Lion machine I can do a manual "connect to server..." with the SL machine's IP and can get an AFP connection but only for a few minutes before a message appears on the Lion machine that says, to the effect, that the SL machine had some sort of issue and dropped the connection. The same goes for a manually started Screen Sharing session from Lion to SL.
On the Leopard machine I can also connect to the SL machine via the manual methods, but after a few moments an error message pops up on the Leopard machine that says there was a problem with the SL machine, and the connections get dropped.
On the SL machine, I cannot even connect manually to the Lion machine but can do the manual connections to the Leopard machine, that is until the connection gets dropped after a varying amount of time.
All three machines can find the HP Photosmart printer/fax/scanner that is connected to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly. The SL machine has the oft bemoaned problem with printing that everyone still seems to have problems with but the Lion and Leopard machines use the print/fax/scan device without issue. The Lion and SL machines are connected wirelessly to the AirPort Extreme; the Leopard machine uses an ethernet connection to the APExtreme. All computers and the printer have statically assigned local IPs within the assignment range of the AP Extreme.
The baffling thing about all of this is this... CrashPlan works and is backing up all of the machines to each other without issue. I don't have any other third-party networking software shared among them but it appears that only the Apple software (Finder, Screen Sharing, and the AFP protocol) seems to have a problem and it seems to be centered around the SL mac mini.
No problems existed when the mac mini (purchased late July 2011) came out of the box. It was only after the software updates took it from 10.6.4 (it's factory installed version) to 10.6.8 that these odd networking issues ensued.
Lion is expected to be installed on the SL mac mini at some point in the future but, until the users of that mini find suitable replacements for their old PPC-based software they still use on a daily basis, that upgrade is put on hold.
Any ideas on how to even begin to troubleshoot this kerfluffle? I'm tempted to wipe the HD of the mini and restore the factory 10.6.4, reinstall the apps, and copy the users' files (but not preferences, caches, etc.) back into newly created user accounts. What's stopping me is that the users of this machine do not want me to do so until such time they're ready to install Lion on it. :/
Appreciate anything that is constructive... thanks.

After connecting my Sony camcorder to imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video the import window does not open. I have imported videos from the sam camcorder successfully before. What could have happened? Puzzled)

After connecting my Sony camcorder to Imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video to imovie 09 the import window does not open. In the past I have successfully imported videos from the same camcorder. What could have happened? Puzzled

Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated.

iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. You will need to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

If have MBA (lion), imac (Snow Leopard), iphone (ios 4) will icloud sync all three?

I have a Mobile Me account. Will MBA (lion), imac (snow leopard), iphone 3s (ios 4) synch from icloud?
Thanks

At it's heart Lion is OS X. Yes it has new features and like any product you may like some and not have a use for others. The IOS desktop look alike on Lion is called Mission Control, while I've played with it I have no need for it either and rarely if ever look at it. However for someone that has used OS X for several years it's not necessary, my guess is it's designed for those that want to transition from a IOS device to a Mac.
The success of any major upgrade is in the preparation. You have done one of the first steps to see your software is up-to-date. You may want to check with the apps you use frequently and see if they have updates too. I use a free tool called AppFresh that survey's all the apps on my computer and lets me know if updates are available. You can download AppFresh from Macupdate.com if you are interested. Next make sure your computer meets Lion System requirements which are:
Mac OS X Lion System Requirements
In order to install Mac OS X 10.7 you will need:
Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of RAM (I'd recommend 4GB or more)
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended
Once your machine has met the hardware and software requirements then you're ready to get Lion installed. As with any update again do a little preparation, I'd recommend using the suggestions in this Update Process post. This all sounds like a lot of work but it makes for a fun Saturday afternoon project if you like to tinker a bit.

IMac freezes after installing snow leopard

I recently installed Snow Leopard in my 5 year old iMac. It had functioned flawlessly until that point. Now it freezes constantly. The only way to get out is to shut it down and do a safe reboot. Another difficulty is that I am not that computer literate. So any responses need to be formed simplistically please.

See this FAQ which may help: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/performance.html
Also, how much memory do you have? 1GB is the minimum, but more is better.
How much free space do you have on your hard disk? Generally speaking, 10% or more of the total is good, with a minimum 5GB. Less than that can really crimp OS X and slow down performance.

My External hard drive keeps ejecting randomly in Snow Leopard. How do I stop this, and prevent it from happening?

I'm currently running a clean install of Snow Leopard version 10.6.8, and I have done nothing but attempt to mount my external hard drive, which is a Fantom 2 TB Greendrive connected via eSATA through an ExpressCard.
It performed flawlessly in Leopard, and I had no issues with it whatsoever. Then, I performed a clean install of Snow Leopard (erased the drive, and installed via DVD), and when everything had finished, I brought up a finder window, mounted my External Hard drive, and attempted to drag a folder to the desktop. It got to about 15%, and froze. Then, a few seconds later, it told me that I had removed it without ejecting it safely.
It continues to do this every time I try to move a large file to my cleanly installed internal hard drive. It varies on the amount of time it takes to 'eject'. Sometimes the file will get almost halfway there, and then the progress freezes, the 'eject' error is thrown, and my drive dismounts.
The file is about 6.2 GB, and it's vitally important to my livelihood to get this drive working reliably. (It contains CS5 (legitimate copy), as well as extremely important personal files, and i'm a freelance Web Designer and Developer, as well as writer and blogger.)
Short Version:
OS: 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard, clean install)
External: 2TB Fantom Greendrive (eSATA through ExpressCard)
Issue: Randomly ejects drive while transferring larger files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
Taylor Daughtry

I have the same issues, The drivers are not great for eSATA right now. I think apple is puting all there effort into Thunderbolt. Ther should be a Thunderbolt to eSATA adaptor soon, untiull then you might want to get a firewire enclosure for you drive as I have had to do.
Maybe you can blog about my app? www.BeautifulClockRadio.com

Photoshop Elements &IMac/Snow Leopard

I have had Photshop Elements 3.0 installed on my Imac running on Leopard and it has been problem free. I have recently installed Snow Leopard and now I am having problems opening some photos from IPhoto. When I have Iphoto set to edit in Elements but when I click on some photos I get the message "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". It seems to be fairly random which photos this happens with as they are all of the same type and mostly donloaded from the same camera. O have re-installed Elements but the problem persists.
Can anyone help/

Barbara - Thank for the tip. I have also found a way round the problem. It
seems that the only photos I can't open are those that have had no
enhancements or adjustments made to them in either Photoshop or Iphoto so it
wasn't random after all. If I can't open a photo I just need to make any
slight adjustment to it in Iphoto and then it it is possible to open it in
Photoshop. It is a bit of a pain as you have to keep changing the edit in
Iphoto preferences but it seems to work.
Thanks again.
Bernard.

MS Word 2004 freezes up under Snow Leopard

Use Office 2004 extensively, recently upgraded to Snow Leopard on iMac. Entourage seems fine, Excel has frozen up only once, but Word is freezing up regularly. First time it froze I let it alone for about 10 minutes and it found itself; today I tried that again but no change after 30 minutes. Currently using Pages and/or using RemoteDesktop to Win XP & Office 2003 to get my work done.
Need help... I want to work on Mac using MS-Word 2004.

Rosetta is installed and the other Office 2004 are running to an expectable level.
iWork is my preferred software and I use it whenever I'm working on something for me or I just need a finished product. However, a lot of my work is done in a collaborative manner and I need to work in MS-Office in order to guarantee seamless collaboration; (iWork is WYSIWUG and Office is WYSIAWUG ...what you see is 'almost' what you get...).
...So back to my problem with Word 2004....
