T410 hangs for a few seconds

My T410 hangs for ~2 seconds at random intervals from 3 minutes to 30 minutes.
Cursor freezes whether using wired or wireless mouse.
Any ideas of where to start my problem solving?

I would suspect power manager, cpu throttling. Does it happen when using "maximum performance"? Does it happen more often when on battery power?
There are alot of things which cause cause a momentary pause, a poor behaving device driver, an application which is taking too much processor time at too high a priority (again usually device drivers). If this happens with any predictable frequency it may be useful to have your task manager loaded and see what applications/services are taking system time up.

Firefox hangs for a few seconds when trying to pause videos or skip ads on Youtube.

Hello all!
My problem is that YouTube sort of hangs for a few seconds when I try to pause a video or skip ahead or skip ads. The video freezes while the audio keeps playing until, after say 5 seconds, youtube finally does what I tell it to do.
This doesn't happen if the video is embedded on a different website, nor does it happen on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly while using Chrome, IE and a Windows 8 Youtube app I have.
After the initial freeze all commands start working very well, at least until I open a new video.
I noticed that a lot of people are having trouble with youtube while using firefox and I've tried a few things:
- uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
- starting Firefox in safe mode
- using different antivirus software
- reinstalling Firefox
I read that this might be a problem caused by the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.
So, is there any way to get YouTube to work properly?
Thanks!

The speed of image searching isn't a problem for me. The trouble is, the automatic zoom function is lightning fast and I find it disturbing to the point that it makes me feel very ill.
I very much want a way of suppressing it.

FF 30.0 hangs for a few seconds when opening new window

It seems like
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/984193
It did not start with 30.0 but I upgraded in the hope that it would solve the situation.
Every time I open a new window FF hangs for a few seconds. It does not hang opening a new tab!
I tried the steps described in the above topic but they did not work.
if I open the console and type
gSnippetsMap.clear()
the result is
undefined.
If I type
localStorage['snippets-last-update'] = 0
the result is
[Exception... "Component is not available" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: debugger eval code :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1" data: no]
There is no difference if I use "Show a blank page" or "Show my home page" where home page is set to "about:blank" for "When Firefox starts".
BTW, I am using Windows 8.1

Short addition:
After the new window is opened I can type a few characters (max 5) into the searchbar. Only from then the hang begins.

Firefox 3.6.15 keeps stuttering or hanging for a few seconds constantly but its only firefox and nothing else on the computer

I have been using firefox 3.6.15 with no problems since it came out. But just recently it has started to hang or freeze for a few seconds about every 10 seconds. Everything else on the computer still works nothing else is frozen just Firefox. I haven't added anything new to firefox or installed any programs. Adblock Plus and Stumbleupon are the two addons I use.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Safari 5.1.7 Bookmarks - adding or changing hangs for a few seconds

Hello all -
Safari 5.1.7 - osx 10.7.4 - MBA
Safari hangs when adding a bookmark or deleting/changing order/moving to new folders etc.
Hangs for about 5 seconds and then completes the task.
It will do the first change just fine, then any further bookmarks adds/changes will hang the browser.
I've tried all the suggested steps, clear cache, reset etc.
Problem comes right back.
Suggestions?
thanks

InDesign CS6 hangs for a few seconds when transforming group (OSX 10.8)

I'm testing InDesign CS6 under OS X 10.8. Seems to work without problems - except one thing which I noticed several times while working on a document (that I was working on under 10.7 as well, without problems):
I transform a group of objects (mostly placed Illustrator EPS) by dragging one corner of the group (with one or more modifier keys). After a few moments InDesign gets unresponsive (it freezes, cursore won't move, although you can change apps via Alt+Tab). Activity monitor shows 100% CPU usage (for one CPU core, at least). After a few seconds, everything goes back to normal.
Process analysis looks sth like that (it goes on and on like this):
This might be a problem related to this very document. On the other hand, this worked flawlessly under 10.7. So maybe someone at Adobe wants to look into that?

Thanks, I'll try that.
In the meanwhile, I opened another document that contains the same group of objects. No hangs here. So this might indeed be a problem related to the document itself.

Firefox 4 randomly hangs for a few seconds

When im browsing, Firefox 4 randomly hangs for ~10 seconds saying its "Not Responding", then it returns to normal.
I dont seem to see a pattern on when it hangs, sometimes its when i open new pages, sometimes im just scrolling, sometimes i'm not doing anything...
It didnt seem to happen before i updated to FFx 4
My best guess is it happens when its trying to "Sync"?
It's not that bad, but it gets annoying after a while.

It is also possible that Firefox is doing maintenance to places.sqlite (bookmarks and history). If you keep a large history or have a lot of bookmarks then you can check that out as well. Also make sure that security (anti-virus) software isn't blocking access to files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

With many open tabs (80+) Firefox regularly (every 10sec) hangs for a few seconds because of session storing where the CPU is at 100%. Btw that is the reason why videos in Firefox are hanging every 10sec, too. Why is this operation so demanding?

When I'm using Firefox for a long time and I'm working with several open windows and many open tabs (80+), Firefox hangs/freezes every 10sec for 1-3sec. This is very annoying. The reason for this seems to be the session store operation, which gets executed every 10sec. In my experience (or rather on my computer) this isn't noticeable when I'm just working with around 40 open tabs.
This also seems to be the reason for hanging videos in firefox (although youtube is quite robust; others are not) because they stop every 10sec, too. For this time (the 1-3sec) the taskmanager tells me that firefox is using all the available cpu power. I'm really wondering why the session store operation has such an influence on Firefox' behaviour.
My computer is a Core 2 Duo E6600 with 3GB RAM and a decent hdd.

Just some additional info:
I just had the problem again, and it even occurred when I did not have any tab open! I did not even use Firefox, but just wanted to start to use it, but it did not respond. There was _nothing_ open, and when I checked the TaskManager, the memory consumption was up to 300 MB, and the CPU was again at 100%. After the CPU was down to 0% again, the memory slowly decreased as well. First, to ~260, then to ~200, now to ~170 MB. Maybe it will decrease even further...

Adobe reader hanging for a few seconds after opening, what's the cause?

Hello, I have the following problem: I open a pdf file in Adobe Reader and initially it woks fine, I can navigate and so on, but after about 20 s it suddenly gets like frozen so that I can do nothing but wait until when after about 15 s it recovers and I can continue reading and moving around. It is just an annoyance since it happens every time I open a document. I have installed several actualizations (icluding the last one) of the program but the problem is still there. It is like if some conflictive process starts shortly after the openning and after it finnishes the program works fine again. I have looked in the tasks administrator to see if I find some parallel process that may start itself but as far as I can see nothing more starts after AcroRd32.exe.
Some idea?
Thank you in advance

If you have a packet sniffing tool like Fiddler or Wireshark, could just see if Reader is trying to access something on network?

IPOD updater 2006-1-10, now no sound after video plays for a few seconds

I installed the latest IPod updater 2006-1-10 and now all my movies will hang for a few seconds and then the sound stops working. If I forward through a few frames, the sounds comes back and repeats the same behaviour.
Anyone have a fix or seen this before?

iPod Updater 2006-01-10 has caused a variety of problems on multiple iPod models.
I just spent an hour on the phone with tech support. They forwarded me to some higher level techs due to my extreme heat while recharging issue. They still seem unaware of the problem. I suggested they read the forums to see just how widespread the problem is. The tech I spoke with assured me she would pass the problem up through the ranks and check the forums, but she said they haven't had a lot of service calls on the issue.
SO!
I suggest that everyone post a "me too" message to the "Complete iPod Failure" thread from 1-23-1006 ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=330396&tstart=0 ), with a description of the problems they are experiencing and what model iPod they own. That thread is an effort at consolidating discussion of this specific issue, as well as a collection of the myriad possible fixes available.
Then phone Apple's tech support (1.800.275.2273) and let them know you've had a problem with the iPod Updater 2006-01-10.
Choose menu selection #1, Technical Support, and talk the automated responder through your configuration.
Hopefully we can at least bring the issue to their full attention and get them to pull the updater from the downloads so it doesn't ruin anyone else's day!
Good luck!

After Effects CS6 hangs for about 20 seconds every few minutes or so.

I'm using AE CS6 and every few minutes (anywhere from 5 to 20) it'll just hang for about 20 seconds. The spinning Windows 7 wheel pops up, then when I click AE it goes transparent white and "not responding" pops up in the title bar. I wait about 20 seconds and everything returns to normal. I can't figure out WHAT could be causing this as there's no log or error to really check.
32 gigs of RAM on a Xeon E3 v2 Ivy Bridge chip. 660 Ti Nvidia card. Windows 7 Pro.
It's such a weird vague problem, that I don't know how to troubleshoot it. Multiprocessing of frames is turned off. 24 gigs allocated to AE.

Figured it out, at least so far. I upped the amount of GPU RAM it was allowing AE to use. I swear I did this before, but apparently didn't. So now..no hangs. I'm sure at some point I'll work on a hefty enough project to bottleneck the GPU, but at least I'm good for now.

My multiclip preview pane hangs after a few seconds

Uh oh.
This is my first time editing a multiclip with 6 HD streams, and playback hangs after just a few seconds. If i pause and give it a moment to catch up, it will play for a few seconds more.
On the RT button on the Timeline, I have selected: Safe RT, play base layer only (doesn't seem to matter) Video Quality Poor (Dynamic isn't any better), Frame Rate Quarter, and of course Multiclip playback is checked.
I'm working with ingested AVCHD footage in ProRes LT. I already shut down, waited a minute, and restarted the machine, no other programs running besides browser and mail.
I'm wondering if there are any other adjustments I can make so that I can see the multiclip view to do live switching thru this footage.
I'm working with an eSata external drive with an eSata card in the expansion slot. It's the fastest drive I've got.
Thanks for any suggestions (besides buying the Thunderbolt drive) I'd be grateful!

It is highly unlikely your disk system can handle playing back 6 steams of ProResLT.
A serious multi drive RAID run through esata should handle this. A single drive will probably choke.
First set your RT playback to Dynamic - not safe.
Beyond that there are at least three ways to deal with this ...
1. Use ProRes Proxy (or DV) in an offline-online process.
2. Figure out if you REALLY need all six angles. Choose which 4 to use for the main cut (or three if that's all your drive can handle), then output that sequence as a new file using "current settings, self contained". Bring that new file in and make a second multiclip adding in the other two (or three) streams.
3. Acquire a RAID that can push out 400-500 MB/s.

Photoshop CC 2014 closes when start up for a few seconds

Hi,
When I try to open the Photoshop CC 2014. It will close after it has started up for a few seconds without any error message dialog in the Photoshop or error log in Event Viewer.
I have just subscribed for the package Photoshop & Light Room combo yesterday and tried to install the Photoshop CC 2014.
I have already tried to figure it out for at least 10 hrs in 2 days by searching all the solutions to this kind of problems and tried every means I could do, but nothing really works.
What I have already tried are as follows:
1. Un-install the ps cc 2014 with clear preference option and re-install it again with Creative Cloud application, but no luck.
2. Update Nvidia graphic driver, which it has already been up-to-date, no luck. I even update the windows using window update center, but still get the same problem.
3. Use Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool after un-install the program. The cleaner tool works fine with successful message and no error message in the log file. Then, I try installing the ps again, but no luck again.
4. Use the License Update Service tool, but no luck.
5. Delete the opm.db and lunch the Photoshop again, but no luck, same problem.
***6. Rename the folder SLStore to SLStore_old. Open the program and it will ask me to license the software by signing in with my adobe account, it "works" only for the first time. However, once I close the application and open it again, same problem occurs, the program just closes right after I open it again. Now, I have to rename the folder every time I want to use the Photoshop.
(By the way, this problem happen the same for the LR and now I have to re-name the SLStore folder every time I want to use the LR as well)
It seems to me that I have some kind of the license problem, but I cannot understand why? and how to fix this?
I am using Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 on my VAIO laptop.
The specifications are Intel(R) Core i7 CPU [email protected], 6.0GB of RAM. The GPU is NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 425M.
I really need to use the program and that is why I decide to purchase for the package, please help resolve this.
Any help, any recommendation would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I found the solution to this from these thread Re: Photoshop CC opens and then closes immediately. What gives? and Re: Photoshop CC Crashes/Closes within seconds of startup
I did it and it works for me So, I think I should share this so people who have faced the same issue as I can give it a try.
Basically, Just uninstall the Photoshop and Creative Cloud, then rename the folder SLCache to SLCache_old. Restart your computer once and then re-install everything again. (CC and PS)
It should work.
Thanks

You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
Step by Step to fix your Mac
but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.
