Screen, Sound, and Mouse Stop and go Freezing

Mainly in two game Apps, World Of Goo and Defcon the screen/sound freezes in a stop and go 'stuttering' like way, I have been trying to resolve this issue for a while now with Defcon but recently got World of Goo and noticed the same problem... Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks,

Well I reinstalled the OS and reupdated to the current OS 10.5.7 at the recommendation of a tech at 1800-SOS-Apple, I'm beginning to wonder if this is some kind of hardware failure, perhaps the Video card is going bad? I can usually play these games for a few mins without incident, but then comes the Ticking stop and go....Activity Monitor doesn't show any software 'above' these Apps when this problem is happening

Starting problems, computer freezes, keyboard and mouse stop working

Hi can anyone help? My powerbook has just stopped working, rarely starts, when it does keyboard and mouse stop working after a while or even before i am able to login. At one point I was getting a grey screen with the words, memory access invalid???? Please help...
powerbook G4

power surge could have damaged something inside, or it maybe unrelated to the problem.
PowerBook can get hot if there is some short circuit inside and power flow is disrupted, also it's possible that the fans are not working properly.
as a guess, it is likely either hard drive or logic board problem.

Ring duration & voicemail are all controlled by your carrier. Your issue seems to be voicemail...doesn't appear to be setup on your phone. I'm not aware of any carrier that permits a cell phone to ring longer than 30 ~ 40 seconds, so that appears to be normal. Contact your carrier as it looks like your issue is voicemail.

I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

I am using an apple TV to show a slide show which is sent via WiFi from a mini computer. The slide show repeats for a few hours and then stops and shows "no signal". What's going on- and how do I get the show to cycle indefinitely?

I've spent 6 hours trying to update my iPad, and it doesn't work. It can't get past trying to back up, and just stops and gives an error code. I've deleted the backup, re-synced, and tried again and still no luck. What do I do now?

I am not running any antivirus software on my Mac, and I have the firewall shut off. Any other ideas? I have not problem downloading all other Apple software updates. I downloaded the latest iTunes software before starting the iPad update process.

Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
There are a couple of avenues for you
Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong.

The green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

the green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

Unfortunately, green blinking is usually a symptom of an internal electrical problem on the AirPort Express.
Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort:
Power down the Express
Wait ai few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug it back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
You want to see a slow blinking amber light at this point, indicating that the Express has been reset to factory defaults. You can reconfigure it again now.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and this does not help, I am afraid that the Express is defective and will need to be replaced.

After loading mavericks Facebook will only load once in a while. Usually the blue bar goes half way and just stops and does nothing. Never had a problem before I updated.

Problems installing OS
I have an iMac 21.5 (mid-2010) and I'm trying to install a new hard drive. When I choose the installation disk the Apple logo comes up and it stops there. Then the mouse and keyboard goes dead. I'm trying to install 10.6. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Since you have a new hard drive, there is nothing on it, so you need to boot from an external source (and probably format the hard drive before installing an OS). Are you booting from the 10.6 install disk? Better yet - do you have a bootable backup clone or at least a Time Machine backup?

IPhone 4S not sure if charging but the charging sound won't stop and iTunes detects it?

Hi, I've never had a problem like this in the past with my 4S, but I have had issues charging it. At the end of the day, it's always worked, but now I don't think it will. I've connected my cable to my USB and to an adapter on my computer and a plug in the wall, but both times the phone does not stop indicating that it is charging with it's little jingle or it's vibrating when I turn the sound off, and when I try to turn it on by pressing the LOCK button and both the HOME and the LOCK button, it doesn't work.
I connected my iPhone 4S to my computer, and iTunes has detected my phone, but it's still not turning on and the charging sound will not stop. What should I do?

Why do some songs and videos stop playing or freeze while playing?

I have an 80 gig iPod classic that I never had problems with until now. I started noticing songs and videos I bought from iTunes aren't working. They will play for 30 seconds, stop, and go to the next song. I called iTunes, and they told me to use the online support but it hasn't helped me. Every time I go on there, it just tells me to call again. I've also tried to restore my iPod and it didn't work, so I'm wondering if anyone else has found and alternate way to fix it.

I have a similar problem. My IPod 5 and 3Gen will stop playing songs about halfway through. The timer indicates its playing but no music. When I've checked these songs on in ITunes they pay fine and completely. I've tried removing them from ITunes and downloading again but with no success. This seems to be random and as I have over 2K worth of songs its difficult for me to determin where the problem is. One of the reasons I purchased the IPod 5 was hopes to eliminate this problem. Any ideas on what other things I can do to solve this problem?
