Scrolling freezes after installing FF11, only manually dragging scrollbars keeps working.

While reading a page and scrolling normally, scrolling (almost) completely freezes. Then, the scrolling only works by klicking on the scrollbar and manually dragging it.
Klicking next to the scrollbar for page up / down has no effect.
Scrolling via two-finger-guesture on trackpad has no effect.
Scrolling with arrow-keys has no effect.
After the Scrollbar was manually dragged, scrolling using any of the other means mentioned works again.

Well, this is probably caused by one of your extensions, or a corrupt Firefox profile. Let's try the easiest first ;)
Try to start Firefox up in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]], and let's see if you get the error still. If t still happens, we will know we need to dig a bit further. If it doesn't happen anymore, we can go through and narrow down what specific extension is causing the problem.
If it works in Safe Mode, then start Firefox back up in Normal mode. Disable all your addons (read the Disabling Extensions portion of [[Uninstalling add-ons|this article]]). Then, re-enable them one by one, testing after each one. If it stops working after you enable one, then we know what the culprit is.
As I said, that is the most likely, but give it a try, if it that doesn't work we can do some more steps.

Help! Lightroom freezes after installing.

I get this message after trying to create or open a catalog: "An error occured when attemting to change modules." Then Lightroom freezes.
I work on a Mac and have formatted and reinstalled my systemdisk with a qlean install. I had Lightroom installed and have used it for some years. But when installing the programs again I went for the Creative Cloud solution. When I tried to open my previous catalog I got this error message. And after several deinstallings and reinstallings I still get the same message and Lightroom freezes.
Anyone who can help?

Hi Ian.
Thank you for answering. But I find no such file in Preferences. I think Lightroom freezes before making the preference file. Other solutions?
Best wishes,
Magne

[solved] makepkg freeze after installing dependencies

If I try to create a package from the AUR
makepkg -sfi package-name
seems to freeze after installing the dependencies. It just stops after installing the last dependency and freezes with 65% CPU-Usage.
If I quit makepkg after freeze and run it again, building the package works so the dependencies get correctly installed.
Note to AUR-Helpers:
Yaourt -> works
Packer -> works
pacaur -> doesn't work
Any Idea what could cause this Problem and how to fix it?

Soooo I've found the guilty after digging through the source of "makepkg"
source /etc/profile &>/dev/null
causes the problem, if I run this command it freezes, Ctrl+C will kill the whole terminal.
So now I know the source of the Problem, still trying to figure out why this happens...
EDIT: Found it I'm using tdm as login-manager, to start it I've put a script into /etc/profile.d/ and this Script gave back an Error "Invalid TTY".
If you source /etc/profile it can't complete due to this Error.
So it was completely my fault
Thank's for your help, now I have to find another way of starting TDM
EDIT2:
just put /usr/bin/tdm into ~/.bash_profile and tdm works fine.
Actually this is already in the wiki, don't know why I didn't do that in the first place

Windows 7 freezes after installing Audigy 2

Hi
I cannot install my Audigy 2 soundcard with Windows 7.
It is a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on a new HDD. However, after installation and driver file updates after I reboot, Windows 7 just freezes.
?I have tried different drivers but the same problem arises. I have tried to load? SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00 as well as SBAX_PCDRVBETA2 US_2_8_00, along with the automatic updates Windows 7. Any help to rectify this situation would be?greatly appreciated.
Many thanks?

Re: Windows 7 freezes after installing Audigy 2?
Thanks for your response Freddie. I just do not know how people can expect companies to keep upgrading and writing software for hardware that is YEARS old. Years old.......People (not you) clamor for Windows 7 drivers for devices made for XP, and my god, that operating system came out a long long time ago. Moving on is not just an alternati've, it is a necessity. I would never be using a Gravis sound card from 995 7 or 8 (which sounded really good back then) on Windows 7 and be frustrated as to why Gravis does not have a full suite of Windows 7 drivers. It would be nice, but it is not feasible or reasonable to expect. Creative would literally spend all of their profits writing drivers and applications for stuff that is no longer sold or worth supporting. Microsoft has even changed the sound model of Windows from scratch which means drivers have to be rewritten from the ground up, not just "slightly modified".
I bought an HP scanner for Windows 98. Great scanner. Loved it. Windows Millenium came out, and that scanner never never worked. Not their fault really, the box it came in said, "Made for Windows 98, 98SE" not "just might be compatible for Windows ME, and whatever else Microsoft may invent."? Well what happened? HP wrote drivers and applications for that scanner for Windows ME and 2000, and that disc cost me $40........Seriously? Yes. Did I buy it? Yes.... I am astonished they are writing drivers for the Audigy's now. But I do hope you find a Windows 7 sound card, and if so, I am curious if you like it. I use my X-Fi Titanium for ) games and 2) movies. and 3) music. It works well, but I had to research which boards it works with.
Currently Asus is quite the competitor these days, and I see they have Windows 7 drivers out. A few months ago, those drivers wreaked havoc and a lot of people's systems.

After installing mountain Lion my wireless mouse stopped working

After installing mountain Lion my wireless mouse stopped working my wireless keyboard still works so I can get to the Bluetooth menu via search but once I'm there I can not figure out how to scroll down and select the mouse that is still listed as a linked device.

Safari, Quicken Essentials, other apps freezing after installing Maveric

Okay, I installed OS X 10.9 when it first came out. Then started having issues with apps freezing, like Safari, Quicken Essentials and other apps.   I noticed this only after installing Maverick.   The only time the freeze would go away, would be after re-starting.    Then, it seemed the app would freeze again ONLY after I have been away from the computer for a while (maybe screen saver mode causes this issue?).   After not being able to figure it out, I un-installed Maverick and went back with TimeMachine and stayed away from Maverick thinking the issue would get fixed and letting bugs go by. I just re-installed Maverick a few days ago and the issue is still there. So, before I un-intsall again, I figured I would check here for any fix or if anyone else was having the same issue.
Example would be, as soon as you try to open the app, it immediately freezes and you get the round twirling circle that goes on indefintely.    The only time it will work, is after you re-start and then you can open it up. If I leave the computer un-attended for a few hours and then come back, freezing happens again.   Not all apps act this way. FireFox seems to have no issues.
Anyone else having this issue and if so, have you found a resolution?

... Do you recommend something else that would take it's place?   Like a free program, since I paid something for CleanMyMac2.
No. Using CleanMyMac2 can result in deleting required system components that must not be deleted, and cannot be deleted using normal means. Reports of misery resulting from using it or similar "cleaning" utilities are common on this site. You should demand your money back.
OS X maintains itself very well. Periodic "cleaning" is not required and can only result in degraded performance at best; a corrupted and useless Mac at worst. The perceived need for aftermarket utilities is probably attributable to many new Mac users who became inured to them after years of using Windows PCs.
Though Norton / Symantec's garbage has a different purpose, it is capable of doing nothing beneficial will also cause the same results.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

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.

OS "freezing" after installing 10.5.3

After installing the 10.5.3 update, my computer (MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz core2 duo) now "freezes" - screen locks, cannot perform any action, have to restart - and I am at a loss as to what to do. It isn't any specific application that I can pin down, it seems to just happen randomly.
It happens more often when it has less RAM than usual (I have 3GB, when drops below 1.5 left) but I cannot say that this is the reason at all, just a hunch.
The computer is not more than 1yr5mo old, so not sure what to do.
I have considered restoring from TimeMachine [~5 days ago] as a full system restore, but don't want to go that route unless it's absolutely necessary. Has anyone had this issue, in any capacity?
Thanks!

I am having a similar issue with our iMac 08 at work after installing 10.5.3. No matter what I have tried. I cannot get it to startup. I keep getting the greyed out screen that says you need to restart. I have repaired permissions, reset PRAM several times... and restarted. Still the greyed out screen appears. I know all the files are there as I have gone in using FireWire Target Disk mode. Does anyone know of anyway to fix this without reinstalling Leopard?

Laptop freezes after installing new ram card.

Hi,
i recently upgraded my ram card on my toshiba c650d laptop. after installing the ram card the laptop began to freeze while in the desktop and then it could be resumed when Alt+Ctrl+Del was pressed.
and the laptop wouldn't wake from the sleep mode....
please help me this is urgent...as for im leaving my home country for studies.
thanks for the help in advance
Malith Ratnayake.

Hello Malith Ratnayake,
After changing the old RAM by the new one, this issue occurs?
If the issue doesn’t occur when you change back to use old ram, I think it is the RAM hardware issue.
Please contact the hardware manufacturer for better support.

MacBookPro Freezes after Installing Latest Security Update 2006-003

After downloading and installing the latest security update 2006-003, MacBook Pro freezes when trying to do anything. Seems to do ok in safe mode but did freeze when trying to verify disk with Disk Utility. (did not try to repair as I am out of town at a motel without Tiger disks). Any suggestions before calling apple?
MacBook Pro 15 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Since my post, I think I have solved the problem. At least MyMacBook is working ok so far. What I did is started up in safe mode (for the third time) then I went through the "Library" and looked for stuff that looked like it wouldn't work on a MacBook. This included some Norton Utility things. Also went through preferences and Application Support and did the same thing. By the way I had transferred all this stuff from my old Mac using the transfer app and connecting the two with firewire.
Anyway, it's been working for about an hour. I'll keep this post open for a couple of days to see if it keeps working.

After installing iOS8 only thing I can see is flashing Apple logo while charging

Hi,
After installing iOS8 on my Iphone5 battery life went really down and phone was getting really slow. All this happened within two days. Battery died with hours, until now it is showing only apple logo which is flashing while charging. Without charger plugged its totally dead, nothing on screen what so ever. Somehow I think iOS8 just killed my battery or it was some other kind of coincidence. No warranty also.
Does anyone know how to proceed with this iphone now? Cannot connect to Itunes. When it started to act wierd I managed to do back up and factory reset to my phone, but it didnt helped.
Does new battery can be solution? I could replace battery myself, but buying new battery without fix would be even bigger damage to my wallet.
Thanks,

Visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or an Apple Store and let them check the battery. If you replace the battery yourself, Apple will not service the phone anymore after that, even if you are willing to pay for it.

I am also having trouble with my cursor freezing after installing Mavericks. Never did it before. I called tech support at Apple and they had me restart computer and mouse together from a complete shut down. So far has seemed to work.

I am having trouble with my cursor freezing between applications after installing Mavericks. Called Apple on my 3 year warranty and opened a case. They suggested a complete shut down of computer and turning off mouse. Then a reboot and turn on mouse. So far iit has seemed to work. Hope this continues??
Hope it helps others.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
