System keeps freezing with lightroom...

i have a new macbookpro - 17" (293 process)(4gb) and i just began using Lightroom this w/e.. my system has already frozen 4 times.. i couldn't even force quit.. i had to actually shut off the computer each time to get it to close. The last time it froze i was viewing a slideshow with about 500 pictures ( which are kept on a separate hard drive), the other times it froze i wasn't really doing anything intensive. this isn't normal correct??? i bought this computer because i thought it could handle something like this easily. any insight? i did call applecare yesterday and they had me run some disk check repair thing.. and they were hoping that fixed whatever could be wrong.. but then later after i did that it froze again with the slide show.
thanks

I've done that and it did not change anything. Came up saying the disk was ok, I even hit the repair a few times even though it said that just to play safe.

  • My macbook pro keeps freezing with vertical lines on the screen

    I have a 2010 macbook pro that has worked wonderfully until now.  As of late it keeps freezing with vertical lines across the screen.  To me this indicates a hardware problem, but I ran a diagnostic (restarted while holding D) and it didn't find any errors.  It seems that it happens when I move or bump my macbook, leading me to think it may possibly be a disk problem, but I'm not sure how to check this.  Anybody else ever have this problem or could suggest a fix for it?

    You can try a pram reset, which might help with the display, but the bumoing thing is what concerns me.
    PRAM reset:
    Power down, power back up and hold the following keys before the start up chime.
    option, command, P, R,(no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times then release.
    Reboot see if this helps, the bumping part scares me.
    Hope this helps

  • I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

  • Help! System keeps freezing

    I have recently bought the new imac 21.5" running Snow Le opard(last month infact) and transferred my data from my previous imac running Snow Leopard using set-up assistant. After a couple of weeks my system froze and the only way to get out was to power down with the power button. After re-starting I was getting the file sign with the question mark, showing that the computer couldn't find my hard drive. After re-startingfrom  the Snow Leopard install disk it still couldn't find my hard drive, so I powered down again and left it til the morning and tried again starting from the boot disc - from here I saw that the hard drive was verified so I repaired the disc and permissions and restarted - everything was fine, no hard disc problems. However, this has happened now four times, the system completely freezes, I have to do a shut down and encounter the same problem each time, although after a few hours I can re-boot and get everything up and running. I thought originally it was a problem with an open application but the last time it happened (a couple of hours ago) I had nothing running, I had just turned on screen sleep. I am wondering if my time machine back-up drive may be the problem but not being computer savvy I haven't a clue. I would be very grateful for any advice given as I don't really know what to do next

    I experienced a different reaction from my Mac book pro after installing wwan.
    I actually connect to the internet using a Merlin data card for which this update was made but I live in Greece. What happens is my menu bar keeps quiting and coming back up every ten seconds or so ad noseum. This prevents me from doing pretty much anything since iTunes comes to foreground every time the menu bar gets going (every 10 sec). I spent all of yesterday trying to figure out a solution to no avail. I really need to unistall the wwan nightmare so if anyone from apple is reading this DO SOMETHING. I NEED TO GET BACK TO WORK!!!. And next time you come up with an update like this try to make it network independant or something.

  • Firefox keeps freezing with new tab even in safe mode

    Firefox keeps freezing, so there's no chance of even a crash report, I can only get out via TaskManager/End process. I usually have dict and thesaurus open while writing, usually with second tab my browser is a still.
    It's very annoying as it's also stuck on my screen for a while so I can't continue to work.
    I really need that to work or I have to switch to a different browser!
    Thank you.
    Here are crash reports while I still got there:

  • System Keeps Freezing

    Hi Guys
    I really need some help with this as it's really starting to wreck my brain. My iMac is running the latest software version 10.6.8 but what has started to happen is that if I have anymore then say 3 different programs open the whole system just freezes and it stays like that untill I force it to turn off by holding the power button. I'm thinking the maybe Safari is behind it all because it always seems to do it when Safari is open. I lost about 4 hours work of work yesterday and well lets just say some words were said to my iMac that I taught I'd never say to an Apple product. Has this happened to anyone else and if so how did you go about fixing it so that you can actually rely on it again. Seriously as I'm writing this I have no idea if I'll even get to post it.
    Here are the specs of my iMac: 27" iMac, 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Oh and it doesn't even have to have that many programs open. I was on youtube this evening and the only thing that was going was Finder and Safari and all I did was while a video was playing clicked on a different video and well it's like Safari paniced and just froze. Seriously what's going on with it, please guys I would be thankful for any help or advise with this.
    All the best

    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.

  • My MBP keeps freezing with red and black vertical lines. What's going on?

    About once a week my early 2011 i7 macbook pro seems to freeze with these weird lines on screen.  I was using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and had quicktime playing an mp3 in the background.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened that I know of that could have triggered the computer locking up. 
    I took my MBP to the Apple store and they said it passed all diagnostic tests.  They suggested that since it is sporatically happening, it may be weeks before an answer is given to the problem that I am experiencing.  Here are some pictures I took when my mac last froze.

    Were you ever able to resolve this?  My friend's early 2011 MacBook Pro with your same specs except with 10.6.8 just did the same thing while Google Earth 7.1.2.2019 was running.  Never any other issues, just happened out of the blue.

  • My macbook keeps freezing with the left side of the screen on the right and the right side of the screen on the left. Help

    My 17-inch early 2011 macbook pro keeps freezing on me.  The freeze usually occurs when I'm importing or exporting pictures, when I stream anything, or If I am watching a dvd.  The left side of the screen shifts to the right and the right side of the screen shifts to the left.  lines also appear on my screen and I can not force quit any open application.  I have not dropped my laptop at all. 
    Mac OSX Lion version 10.7.5
    2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7
    I would like to avoid going to the an apple store to fix this problem if possible.  The closest one to me is 40 miles away. 
    Help : )

    If you don't have the Applecare extended warranty then you will need to pay for the fix. The fix is a New Logic Board. It seems as your Graphics card is failing in some way. No there is no software fix for this.
    The Graphic chip is soldered to the logic board and the only way to change/fix it is to replace the complete logic board.
    Good Luck and Best Wishes

    I keep getting a line of distorted pixels across the screen and sometimes a distorted portion of the page, which clears or appears in another area when I move the cursor over it. Often times my whole page freezes and I am left to the spinning rainbow and am forced to shut down with the off button.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • System keeps Freezing-up

    Hi all,
    I have just started having freeze-ups on my system. They get so bad that I have to force shut down via the power button. The problem then still causes the start-up to go all strange, sometimes it just shows the folder with the question mark and other times it goes into the normal set up but does not always get there. I have put in the Snow Leopard DVD into the drive to try and use the disk utility, but it does not always clear the following permissions which seem to be the same ones all the time.
    Permission differ on System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Version/A/Resources/Deploy.bundle/Co ntents/Resources/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/Resource/Java/deploy.jar should be lrwxr-xr-x, they are lrw-r--r--.
    Permission differ on System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Version/1.6.0/Resources/Deploy.bundl e/Contents/Resources/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/Resource/Java/deploy.jar should be -rw-r--r--, they are lrwxr-xr-x.
    Permission differ on System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Version/1.6.0/Resources/Deploy.bundl e/Contents/Resources/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/Resource/Java/libdeploy.jni lib should be -rwxr-xr-x, they are lrwxr-xr-x.
    I've had to re-install everything twice in the last 5 weeks after a long time trying to clear up the problem. Even that was a task. Sometimes the system did not respond after erasing the whole disk and yet other times all was ok. The thing is, the above permission errors keep on coming back.
    My system is as follows:
    Mac 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard
    I've done a disk scan and it comes up clean, it just keeps coming up with the above permission problems.
    I have even tried turning the computer on while pressing the "D", but nothing happens, it just goes into start-up mode.
    Anybody with an idea what could be happening?
    Thanks in advance.
    All the best,
    Phil Rosa-Leeke

    I've done that and it did not change anything. Came up saying the disk was ok, I even hit the repair a few times even though it said that just to play safe.

  • Photoshope Elements when selecting an action, the paint brush tool doesn't work and system keeps freezing, then catching up every 30-45 seconds

    I have been having this problem with elements ever since the last OS upgrade, but it wasn't all the time and it wasn't very bad. Now, I have upgraded my macbook again, and I cannot even edit a photo!! I open the photo, choose an action, say "smooth skin", then choose the paint brush, I start to "paint" over their face and it won't paint a line, I have to keep clicking it, click - it paints, move brush, click again - it paints. Plus, every time I choose a tool or an action, it freezes for about 10 seconds, then catches up to what I am doing, 30 seconds later, it freezes again. HELP!! I have 8 sessions to finish editing by this weekend!! I just want to cry!!

    Try deleting the prefs and the saved application state:

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep freezing with the spinning beach ball?

    Hi,
    This issue started yesterday. Every minute or so or less, my Mac will freeze up and I cant do anything, and then the beach ball will pop up for 5-60 seconds before going away, my machine unfreezes, and it happens again pretty quickly.

  • Media center pc m8020n keeps freezing with windows 7 home premium

    I recently updated my OS from vista business to windows 7 home premium and since then I have problems with constant freezing. I have tried to reinstall new OS over start over fresh with my hard drives reformatted and still the same issues. The computer will boot and sometimes will work on for a while and sometimes freeze on boot up. I am out of ideas I was told to replace memory and I have done that and still no solution. What else can be wrong!!! Thanks in advance for all the input.

    Hello, i know this thread is kind of old but I am a PC tech and just had this PC run through my shop with the EXACT same problem. We updated the OS reseated heat-sink cleaned out dust etc. none of which fixed the issue. the actual prolem is on the graphics card that came with this machine. if you pull it out i can guarentee you it has a blown capicitor on it. You can use the PC without the card until you either de-solder and re-solder on a new cap or just upgrade your card. Hope this helps someone out there!
    PS dont forget to change the video settings in the bios to onboard.

  • Hold switch does not keep on - is the switch broken?

    Hi. My faithful 5th gen. iPod started to stand on its own - it didn't like to obey my wish for keeping hold switch on or off. It is on, all the time. So, is this a sign for independence or resignation? In other words, is the switch physically broken
