Randomly Hangs/Freezes and Sometimes Crashes

Within the last 2 weeks, I've noticed this problem. It happens on various websites and numerous times while on computer (approx every 1/2-1 hr) It stops responding for about 30-60 secs.
i haven't done anything different to my computer, i also haven't upgraded to FF6 yet, still running at 5. i read that people are having the same issue with FF6.
any advice??

YouTube freezes and sometimes crashes browser

Hi.
My Envy, which is only a couple of months old, has recently started freezing out on YouTube, despite having an i7 2.4ghz processor and internet download speed hovering between 45-50 mbps. Sometimes, it actually crashes the browser.
My spec:
Product Number: E1P13AV
Serial Number: 5CG4483KD7
Please help?
Thanks,
Ben

Is it XP?

I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

Work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying over to photoshop

work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying items over to photoshop, then when re-opening the illustrator file it gets to the end of reading the file to open then quits again? this keeps happening!

afrill,
It seems that you file has become corrupted.
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error -occurred-pdf2dtp-file-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

Try to exclude the cookies from the clear history settings and let the cookies expire at the end of the session instead.

Mail in Firefox loads fast & fine. When I go to Contacts, the system is super slow and sometimes crashes. What do I do?

Issue is simply, why does mail in Firefox work extremely well and then Contacts struggles and sometimes crashes. Thx.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". We might have an answer for you if we knew which web mail service provider this problem is with. Or, you could seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

Uhm, why don't you go to the right place, then? There are several Steam/Portal forums out there...

Macbook Pro fans constantly running, Safari hangs up and/or crashes often.

My 2012 Macbook Pro (10.9.2, 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB Memory) has been acting up a lot lately. The fans are constantly running even if major apps (mail, safari, itunes, messages, etc.) are closed. Safari, in particular, has been hanging up and/or crashing recently for no real apparent reason. My battery has been draining out faster than usual. I've always tried to be very cognizant to the health of my computers and phones and try to limit the amount of apps and files I download, sites I visit, etc. I've already done Verify Disk and Verify Disk Permissions in Disk Utility, reset Safari numerous times, disabled all extensions, removed unnecessary apps, and altered settings in Energy Saver, all to no avail. I'm a grad student so I only use my laptop for Safari and Microsoft Word and put it to sleep when not in use as often as possible. Also, my battery was at 56% about 23 minutes ago and is now at 38%.
Below is a list of the processes using the most memory in Activity Monitor:
kernel_task                                   429.4 MB

mds_stores                                   52.1 MB
Safari                                            43.6 MB

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

plane928,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

CSCup97267 - RV220W Router hangs intermittently and sometimes reboots

Really, are you serious?? The only fix is to reboot the router, and there are no plans to fix the problem? I would not be expecting that kind of answer from a world class vendor. Come on Cisco, you can do better than that.

Sorry Winston these articles you have the posted links to, don't help as they are all wifi related and my ATV is connected over Ethernet cable, direct into my Netgear gigabit router model wndr3700.
I have not had the problems with the ATV until the last couple of firmware updates and other devices on my network are working fine (both wired and wireless connections) have no issues. Everything works and streams fine but randomly and every now and then when navigating around the ATV interface the thing just suddenly freezes and then appears to reboot... It only happens now and then and in different places. It particularly happens if I keep pressing the remotes up/down/left/right navigation buttons several times in quick succession.
It's like the interface is trying to catch up with my key presses, approx 3 or 4 presses in a row and the ATV gives up and reboots. That's the best way I can describe it. Like I say it has only occurred since the last couple of updates.... Prior to that the interface was quick and smooth and quick navigation was not a problem.

Why is iMAC hanging up and Firefox crashing?

iMAC is hanging up and Firefox has been crashing every day for 2 weeks
Since 6/2/12, Firefox has been crashing most every day on my iMAC. Using Firefox help, checked plug-ins and several needed update, so I started wwith Adobe Flash and began having worse problems. First, it did not seem to download, then the system would "hang" (spinning rainbow) for VERY long time (over 1/2 hour or overnight). After shutdown and unplug power for 10 minutes, tried to start up and now it takes over 30 minutes with lots of hang time. Finally followed firefox help suggestion to "revert to default". Not much help and of course favorites bar is gone. Has still crashed at least once since 6/15/12.
Tried using Safari instead of Firefox and performance was HORRID-- very slow and lots of hangups lsting 10 minutes and more.
Via my iPad, I looked at Skype and history showed several entries for "URGENT ONLINE REPAIR" and others starting 6/2/12 (Same date as most recent string of Firefox crashes. Possibly related??
Any ideas?

No smoking guns in the panic log that I can see. Does it KP in Safe Boot? Hold shift down at startup chime. Give it much longer than a regular bootup.

Faulty RAM is often a cause. Test the RAM with Memtest.
To test the memory, get memtest and run it in single user mode, where it will test as much memory as possible, more than with the OS loaded.
You can get memtest + directions from the link below. However, ignore running it from Terminal. Instead, boot into SU Mode, Cmd-s at the startup chime. (Best to startup from a full shutdown.)
At the prompt, simply type /usr/bin/memtest all 3 -L (From this link It will be installed in /usr/bin/) Then hit return. This will run three loops of memtest and create a log in Console in Utilties.
If you want to run memtest longer, which may be advisable, since RAM errors can be very elusive, just remove the "all 3" which will give you /usr/bin/memtest -L and hit return. It will keep testing until you quit it.
If you want to quit the test, just hit control-c
When finished, you can just type in "reboot" and hit return.

TS3274 My ipad freezes and sometimes then turn to a blue screen Its 3 days old!!!!

My ipad is 3 days old!! It lags, freezes and then sometimes turns to a completely blue screen

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't fix the problem Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Object spy on a pdf causes system freeze and reader crash

Hi,
When I try to spy on a a pdf the reader crashes, the Object spy freezes and I have to restart the machine to get back control.
It also makes IE8 crash if its an embeded pdf.
My configuration is QTP 11, IE8, XP, Adobe Reader 9.4 and the latest version of the tool kit.
It works fine if I try to run one of the sample test scripts that come with the tool kit.
The odd thing is that while I'm able do an Alt+Ctrl+Del and open the task manager I'm not able to do anything with it. It seems like the object spy has hijacked the mouse and wont let the system respond.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi
We have lately found that due to some of our changes in Reader 10.1.2 release, the plugins have broken.
They still continue to work with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 and 10.1.1 ON ANY ENVIRONMENT WITH ANY QTP VERSION.
For the time being, before Adobe roll out a fix, we would suggest you not to upgrade the Adobe Reader versions.
Thanks and Regards
