Sudden frequent freezing and slow or oddly behaving applications

A few days ago, my 3 month old Macbook Pro started acting very strangely. Sometimes it won't wake up from sleep (the sleep light stays on when I open the screen but the screen remains black) and I have to force restart the computer. If it does wake up, it is initially unresponsive for about 15 seconds if I try to open an application. Also, it has begun freezing randomly (completely frozen, I cannot force-quit any applications, move the mouse, or get it to sleep by closing the screen), so that I have to restart by holding the power button. This happens as often as three times a day, when I use Safari, Preview, Real Player or iTunes. I have no idea what is going on; any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Could it be indexing your files by Spotlight?
Or TimeMachine on a slow external disk?
Try with WhatSize, this app will tell you if you have enormous log files that might slow some operations.
I have some slow issue from time to time. Most are related to having too many operations at the same time (5-8 running softwares) with big database and huge download while Time Machine is backing up. Usually, quitting some apps and rebooting works for me. If not, I run Cocktail.

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
Here is a link to a Widget to monitor your temps and other operations:

since you are running 10.6.8 did you install the combo update?
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
It is more stable than the regular version.
You could use your original install disc and boot from the disc, run Disc Utility and do a repair disk.

Freezing and Slow

Finally got MacBook Pro for work (bye bye dell) and I am having both Freezing and Slowness problems. Machine info: MacBook Pro 15", 2.4Ghz core 2 duo, 2GB Ram, 200GB HD (108GB used), FileVault, OS X 10.4.11, Parallels (typically not running any longer). All original HW, nothing changed/added. All SW is updated to latest versions, patches, etc.
The system freezes under two conditions I can repeat (sometimes). By freezing I mean nothing from the trackpad or keyboard impact anything (i.e., cursor will not move and things like cmd-opt-esc do not yield Force Quit window). No response from a plugged in external mouse either. Must press and hold power button to reboot. Any windows that had something moving (i.e., entourage progress bars) stop moving. First case is when I plug in an external display. Only plugging in external VGA, not DVI, so using apple adaptor cable. Sometimes the machine immediately freezes; other times it freezes exactly when I press the Detect Displays in the Displays System Preferences pane. The second case is after I change network setting Location from within the Network System Preferences Pane (i.e., from supporting Verizon USB EVDO to Ethernet). The computer freezes when I press Apply Now after changing Location. Note that in both conditions, the computer does not always freeze. If I reboot and try again (changing locations or driving external display) the computer does not freeze and expected actions work.
The computer otherwise will get VERY slow from time to time. (To the point that I want the dell back!) By slow I mean clicking on an application window in the background and waiting a minute or more for the application window to come to the front. Or having typed text in a variety of applications show up 20 to 40 seconds after I type. When I check Activity Monitor or run Top in Terminal window, the CPU typically is not beyond 20% usage. Changing to Better Performance in the Energy Saver System Preferences Pane has no impact. I have not found any firm correlations here to other actions. It does often happen for 15+ minutes after I bring the computer out of sleep mode; sometimes after I come out of screen saver; and more infrequently it just gets slow while working. I now reboot when it gets slow and the machine works again. Uptime is no more than 2 days at a time at this point (pathetic given my iMac G5 stays up 60 days without reboot).
I have AppleCare on the macbook pro, but was hoping not to have to send it in. If I do this I have to wipe my documents folder first due to data sensitivity. Could go to Apple store for Genius to look at.
I have tried reseting PRAM, HD permissions fix in Disk Utility, and allowing FileVault fix the unused space issue (Apple, put in a time indicator on this!). No help.
Any suggestions?
-David.

I am running Safari 5.1.7 on 10.6.8 and experiencing frequent freezes and crashes, how do I solve this problem?
Hal Harris

The best way is to post the crash log next time it crashes. That will contain specific information that will help find the problem. Logs are cryptic but there are people here who can make some sense of them.
I'm running 5.1.7 under 10.6.8 on both my iMac and MacBook Pro and it is completely stable. However I have no extensions installed. Incompatible extensions are a common source of Safari instability

Frequent Freezes and Panics..

My 15" PB has been suffering frequent freezes, with the occasional kernel panic thrown in for good measure. System log usually indicates various wireless network events just prior to freeze. My external firewire drive also appeared to unmount itself in most recent freeze (see log below).
I've tried obvious fixes like repairing disk permissions, resetting various plists, creating new user and also Cache Cleaner. Any thoughts gratefully received.
TIA
Jon

Hi jonm66,
Because you have two 1gB Ram sticks, try taking one out and running with only one installed.
Try each stick in both slots to see if there are any changes.

Sudden Frequent Freezing

Hi,
My Macbook is a few years old and used constantly and has been glitchy for a while, but has been functional. it freezes a fair amount, but usually only for a short time, and when I restart, it works fine for a least a day (i tend to leave it on with a lot of tabs open which causes issues, but i can always easily fix them with a restart).
A few days ago, it became virtually non-usable. Itunes and Adium work fine, but when I restart it and try to logon to wireless, it starts generally giving the spinning wheel and freezing. Firefox is non-usable. It will work ok for about a minute, but can't even handle one tab. When I try to scroll, switch tabs, or close one, it freezes and does the spinning wheel for solid minutes at a time. It happens so frequently I really can't use it. Sometimes it just won't stop and I've had to restart almost a dozen times in one day by holding down the power button since it is frozen.
This happened for seemingly no reason,and now restarting is making no difference because it happens again as soon as I open Firefox, although it does not seem to be exclusive to Firefox. Restarting has always made it work fine, and now is having no effect. I'm not sure what's going on.
Any ideas? Thanks so much for reading...it's driving me crazy.
Ignore typos -I'm on a netbook so I can do this and the keyboard is tiny.
Message was edited by: Julie Ellard

Hi Julie,
since a couple of days ago, I have a very similar problem.
The Macbook works fine for a time (can be half an hour), but after that, frequent freezes occur. The spinning wheel will turn up and the Macbook will be unusable for a minute or so. This happens more and more often until the Macbook becoems unusable.
Shutting down and rebooting does not solve the problem with me. Shutting down and waiting does. Sound like a temperature problem? Istat does not report anything unusual (ca. 40° CPU temp) - very strange.
I already tried to reset the SMC (btw - how do I know that I succeeded?)
I am using Snow Leopard having installed all the latest updates (10.6.6).
So If anybody has any ideas what else to try, give us a hint.

Third I pad 3 freezes and slow keyboard

This is my second replacement because the screen freezes and keyboard takes time to register a stroke the 1st replacement I restored from cloud the second one was set up as a new I pad. It was not restored from cloud in case it was a faulty app. It now also freezes up and same problem with keyboard

Is it always the same website or any site at all?

Freezing and slow page loading in Safari

Okay, this is, by far, the most frustrating problem I've had since buying this iBook. It's my first Mac, and up until this point I've been extremely happy with its performance.
Here's the deal: I open Safari, visit a couple of websites... and then around the fifth or sixth website I try to visit (whether it's by typing the address in the bar above or clicking a link) Safari just freezes. I try to reset Safari or sometimes I try to erase the History, and then the entire iBook freezes and I have to turn it off.
Is there some kind of diagnostic I can perform to determine the problem? Is the some Mac-approved virus detecting software I can download somewhere? Is this an adware/spyware problem? What do you think?
I live on my iBook, so this is a very frustrating problem. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.
-Put

Put -- Have you done these yet?
Restart your computer, Open Safari and then do these:
1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
2. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
3. You might want to check all three "auto" preferences in Safari. Sometimes those lists gets very long and need pruning. (I turned all autofill boxes off, and have no problems.)
4. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.
If you're still having problems:
5. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
Since this is your first Mac (congratulations, by the way:)
Do you repair permissions before and (at leeast) after major installations & upgrades that require your administrative password to do the installs ?
Hope this helps

3GS Frequent freezes and Reboots since 3.1

Since installing 3.1 my iPhone 3GS freezes and reboots several times daily. Sometimes when it freezes I have to do a hard reboot several times before it will actually restart. This was never an issue with my Original iPhone or the 3GS prior to 3.1. Anyone else experiencing these problems??

Well, on one hand I'm glad that it's not just me. From a trouble-shooting perspective that rules out a lot of potential local issues on my end. Most likely it's a 3.1 issue then. Hopefully someone at Apple is paying attention and a software update is on it's way. I've seen other posts now where people have gotten new phones (mine's under warranty still so I could too) but it hasn't solved the issue. Again, not localized to one phone puts the issue squarely in Apple's court.

If a reboot is clearing some of the problem, you ought to check the capacity and use of your hard disk. How full is this? Anything less than about 20% space may begin to slow things down.
As for the Flash plugin, these do tend to slow Macs down with some sites. You might want to try Click to Flash to restrict the use. And as for CPU use, I saw 120% on a friend's MacBook Pro a couple of days back: too many Facebook games running at the same time.

Preview app freezing and slowing down MBP

Since I updated to OS Mavericks my preview app has not been functioning properly. When the app is open when viewing PDFs a window (accompanied by a progress bar) pops up quite frequently that says "Saving changes... '#' documents remaining", with the # sign representing any number of documets. Often, the number of documents "remaining to be saved" progressively increases from 1 to 8 or so, despite there being only one document open. While the app is doing these "auto saves" my computer is slowed down significantly and while these interuptions occur I am usually unable to do anything else.
I will also add that the size of the PDF files that I view are rather large, on average 70-80 MB, although I'm not sure if that is the reason for the issue because before I updated to Mavericks I didn't have this problem. And the problem does also seem to occur with smaller sized files as well.
My computer usage is usually minimal when this occurs, typically only Safari is open in the background. I was advised to reset my SMC, which I did, but the problem is still occurring. Any additional advice or solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Update: The Preview app is using a lot of memory and I don't know why.
With activity monitor on, I notice that the memory usage for the app spikes considerably when viewing PDFs, especially when I scroll, exactly the same problem as you, loveceratops. When a PDF is initially openend, the activity monitor shows memory usage around 50 MB, but when I scroll within the PDF the memory usage shoots all the way up to 500 or 600 MB. It's at this point that the glitches preciptating in Preview begin to occur.
I've tried deleting/recreating the preview app's ".plist" files in the "Preferences" and "Containers" folders, but that has not solved the issue. I want to try to reinstall Preview, and I just might, but I'm also considering reinstalling OS Mavericks since that may be easier; but I'm concerned that the same problem would still keep happening since I'd be recovering all my files from Time Machine after the reinstall.
Any help solving this issue would be much appreciated, thanks in advance. This is a very frustrating problem.

Phone is freezing and slow

I downloaded the ios 8.0.2 on my iphone 4S and my phone is running much slower and freezes all the time. Is there any way to fix this or will Apple be releasing another update?

try hard reset ( hold the sleep and home button together for a few second the iphone will restart and then the an apple logo will appear)
if this didn't work try to restore you iphone and check if there are any updates available

Hi Cricket76,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may need to reset your keychain “login”. Please follow the steps in the following article and let me if you need further assistance.
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
