Since upgrade to 10.5.8, frequent temporary hangs (spinning beachball)
Good day!
Since updating to 10.8.5 on my MacBook Pro (15" unibody design), I'm encountering frequent visits (every 5 to 10 minutes) by the spinning beachball which last for 30 seconds or so.
At first I thought something might be slurping up all the processor power, but Activity Monitor isn't showing anything. The one thing I haven't checked yet is whether it still happens if I'm not connected via AirPort. The incidents do not appear to be limited to apps using the Internet.
Any great ideas? Thanks!
Been having the same issues happening on the same machine as you. I did this yesterday, and so far so good.
1. Restart in safe mode (Hold down shift key when you hear the chime)
2. Under Applications > Utilities > Disk Utilities, select your hard drive on the left column, and click "Repair Permissions"
3. Once done, restart
It's been a day since I've done this, and no beachballs yet (fingers crossed)

Since upgrade to iTunes 7.4.2, constant hangs!
Since I upgraded to 7.4.2, iTunes is useless. It hung upgrading my library. After killing it, the application would start and then immediately hang. I deleted it from applications and then re-installed and I could run iTunes for about 10 minutes before it hangs again. One critical thing is that when I kill it with Force Quit, it won't die, it is still there. When I try to reboot, it hangs the computer and I have to power-cycle the machine.
I have no plug ins installed and I removed all my scripts from the scripts folder.I tried replacing my new library with my old one. iTunes hung about 75% through converting the old library.
Did I mention that once I force quit iTunes, I can't restart it, nor can I shut down or restart my computer.
I have to power cycle the machine. -
I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock. -
I'm running the latest OS 10.9.1 Mavericks (late 2009 iMac). 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Since upgrading to Mavericks, apps are slow to open, with frequent "spinning ball" interruptions. Repaired Disk Permissions - no help. Repaired disk - no problems indicated. Did notice in going to Utilities/Console that there are 4000 messages over a 3 day period. Any suggesstions how to correct this sudden slow down, other than psychiatric help?
Yes. Many messages show up when I try to use Office for Mac 08. Here's a sample (and one that repeats over and over again):
2/11/14 1:01:16.577 PM Microsoft Word[1912]: OTAtomicAdd32 is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please stop using it.
Also getting many msgs when I use Chrome. -
Since upgrading to Yosemite on my iMac I am frequently getting "safari can't open the page (blank) because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection this sometimes occurs when the server is busy. wait and then try again". This is with both a WiFi and Ethernet connection. The server is working fine from other devices using WiFi onto it such as iPhones, iPads, MacBook (which is also on Yosemite) so don't believe its an issue with the server.
I am also noticing page load very slowly when this problem is not occurring.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -

Frequent Kernal Panics since upgrading to ML
Hi,
I've been trawling through a lot of discussions on this forum and think I'm not alone with the problem that their system keeps crashing at random ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion. Unfortunately, I haven't found a single resolution to this so I'm posting one of the zillion panic reports I have in the hope that someone can help.
Bit of background - my MacBook crashes at random (it seems that its more likely to happen when activating launchpad, mission control or switching applications). Without warning it will restart and display the error "Your computer restarted because of a problem...".
I have tried repairing disk permissions, repairing disk, doing a clean install, resetting my PRAM and now I've finally erased the HD and installed from scratch but I still have the problem. I have absolutely no other software on my mac and yet it is still unstable.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a 15" MBP (mid 2010), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5. 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3. On "About This Mac" it shows my Graphics is Intel HD Graphics 288 MB but if I go into system report I also see NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
Can anyone help?? Below is my panic report -

Very high memory usage since upgrading to 3.6.4
Since upgrading 3 days ago FF pretty much runs up to 500mb as a floor and can get up to 800mb of memory. I had this issue with 3.5 but it vanished with 3.6 and was living in bliss as it rarely broke 250 mb.
I haven't added any extensions nor made any other changes. Is anyone else experiencing this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Upgraded to 3.6.4Hello everyone.
If you are having problems with RAM/CPU usage, do this:
#run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins, themes or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions, themes and [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ plugins] in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their author for support.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version for free at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
#update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
#clean up your OS registry, using appropriate software. Make sure you've followed my instructions correctly, but if this all doesn't work, [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles create a new Firefox profile] (this can be temporary, of course) and see if the issues persist.

Since upgrading to Lion my address book no longer communicates with iTunes? This means that no new information is getting to my iPhone etc? Any ideas? Thanks

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible. -
Since upgrading to Lion, iCal event invitations are not working well.
Since upgrading to Lion last week, I am having problems with sending iCal event invitations to large groups of people (say 10 people or more). Although my iMac, iPhone, and iPad iCals show that invitations have been sent, only a few of those invited have actually received event invite emails.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any insight into the problem or solution?

Automator has stopped working since upgrade to snow leopard
I frequently use Automator to scale groups of images, but since upgrading to 10.6.8 it will no longer work. I can get files from folders, can copy and rename them, but scale does not work. I get the message "The action "Scale Images" was not supplied with the required data." I have tried a variety of image types to see if that was the problem, and tried with a single file that was re-scaled in a previous workflow. I always get the same error message.
Any ideas?Reset SMC.

Occasional black display since upgrading to 10.4.10
New issue since upgrading to OSX 10.4.10. Now my 3 1/2 year old Apple Studio Display (flat screen LCD) occasionally goes black for a second, then the image returns. This has happened sometimes once a day or more frequently, sometimes the monitor goes for several days without occurring. My 2nd older LaCie CRT monitor (in extended desktop mode) doesn't exhibit this problem.
About a year after purchase the display had a backlight issue and was replaced by Apple under Apple Care. The (refurbished) display soon lost reliability on its USB ports but I just connect the keyboard directly to the G4, so that isn't serious.

What happens when you try.
Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it, so you can't use your new Apple id to update the app, you will need to use the old one.

My text messages will not send out since upgrading to iOS7.0.2.
My text messages will not send out since upgrading to iOS7.0.2. What do I need to do?
It seems Apple has a glitch with text/imessages in iOS7 and they are trying to fix it. Many people get it working again by simply restarting thier phone
For me, restarting the phone kind of corrects it for awile but then it starts doing it again. My phone gives no indication the messages havent gone out till after I restart it! Huge problem since I cant tell when it quits sending! I have to keep restarting my phone a couple times a day to make sure all my texts went out!
I also found this procedure but it also seems to be only a temporary fix much like restarting your phone.
Go to Settings and into Messages and disable iMessage. Go into General then into the Reset tab (bottom of the screen). Next, select Reset Network Settings, confirm the choice, and wait for the iPhone to reboot. Once the phone restarts, toggle iMessage back on again.
