Weir behavior from 10.8.2 - Hangs up/freezes

Hey,
So recently my MBP started to behavie weird.
It freezes/hangs up bot not is the standard fashion, where it just stops responding, but slowly crashes.
So the general way that this happens is:
I am browsing the web on Chrome.
All of a sudden chrome stops working, but it is responding, for example I can't load new pages, but I can change/open tabs, move in a history of a tab. The apple menu and all of the entires in the menu bar are unreachable (beach ball).
Rest of the apps are working fine, and then I go the force quit Chrome (btw. in that dialog nothing is marked as not responding), which makes the force quit stops responding, After that any application that I click also stops responding and to regain any control over the device you need to restart it using the power button.
I looked through the console and tried unistalling the apps that I didn't need any more as well as changing the apps that I am using to see whether they cause it but with no luck. Sometimes it took a little longer to crash but it inevitably crashed. It also appears to happen in cycles/waves i.e. for the past two weeks everything was ok but in the last two days I had it happen 4 times (and once as I was writing this post)
Does anyone has any idea what might be the cause of it or how to troubleshoot it?
MBP late 2010, Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Thx for the help!

You need the instalation disc to run the test.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Strange behavior from a PB G4 (Part 2)

On to my next issue. Often when I'm typing the insertion point will jump to someplace other than where it should be or just disappear all together. I'm not doing anything to cause it to do this. I've been being really carefull to not to do anything wrong. I'ts often enough to be a real nuisance. It happened 7 times during my first post (Strange behavior from a PB G4) and 3 times during this one. Please help. Thanks.

Did you use the iFixit website? It has excellent pictures and instructions that are easy to follow.
Replacing any hard disk drive will be challenging for a paraplegic, but with someone's help it can be done fairly inexpensively. There are many tiny fasteners that require tiny tools. Use an egg carton to store them, separated by their location in the PowerBook.
Earlier PowerBooks are easier to work on than later ones.
I still use a PowerBook G4 on occasion, mostly for importing video for editing in iMovie. I upgraded its original 60 GB HD to a much larger one. If you were to do this you would need to locate the PowerBook's original System Install DVD to install and subsequently update OS X and all its original programs.
If you ensure at least a few gigabytes free space, I think most of your problems will be fixed. When free disk space gets down to a few hundred megabytes or less, performance will suffer dramatically. You don't want it to ever get anywhere near that low. Strange things start to happen.
Keep the number of icons on the Desktop to a minimum also. That makes a difference, for reasons that I do not fully understand.

Inconsistent Behavior from Bluetooth Audio

I've noticed very inconsistent behavior from my bluetooth headset and my iPhone 4. Work fine for voice calls, but doesn't work for a GPS Navigator or Voip. Works for Facetime most of the time, but sometimes won't. Anyone else having this kind of inconsistencies?

I was told by support that it is normal for bluetooth headsets to only work for voice calls on the iPhone 4. That really doesn't make sense to me, so I can't use a GPS Navigator with voice turn by turn directions with my bluetooth headset? My ancient 5 year old Motorola Razr would do that.

Odd Menu behavior from 7940

I'm developing an XML service to allow users to set wake-up calls, and I'm seeing some weird behavior from my 7940. The phone gets up to the second screen in the application, a PhoneMenu, and then when I try to select one of the two MenuItems, it gets the appropriate URL from the webserver, but still displays the old page, and then if I try to select a MenuItem again, it doesn't go back to the webserver.
I've attached the XML for the two screens; the first one is ampm.xml and the second one is message.xml.

If you obtained it from Cisco Developer Support, isn't it for version 3.3.4? Are you sure you have the 4.0 version?
Nothing significant has changed between versions (that I am aware of). The newer version includes tags to support the model 7970 IP Phone/Communicator, and the old version had minimum values for some tags which have been removed for the most part in the new schema.

Different behavior from the PRE function based on BMRS and WMRS

Hi All,
We are seeing different behavior from the PRE function based on whether the type is Before Modified Record Saved or When Modified Record Saved. Should the PRE function work the same for both as long as there is not a Wait action in the WMRS workflow?
(((PRE('<plTier_ITAG>') <> [<plTier_ITAG>]) AND ([<plTier_ITAG>] = '2 - BA')) AND [<IndexedPick4>] = 'FSCM')
Explaination: The Tier field changes AND now equals Tier 2, AND Application is equal to 'FSCM'
The same expression fires only as designed in BRMS, but in WMRS it fires every time a SR is in Tier 2 and IndexedPick4 = 'FSCM', regardless of whether a change was made to the Tier field.

Try changing your syntax around to something like -:
PRE('<plTier_ITAG>') {NOT EQUAL} '2 - BA' AND [<plTier_ITAG>] = '2 - BA' AND [<IndexedPick4>] = 'FSCM'
+i.e. Previous value of Tier is not equal to "2 - BA" and current value of Tier equals "2 - BA" and IndexedPick4 equals "FSCM". Replace {NOT EQUAL} with the appropriate syntax+

well... the indians have abandon adobe creative cloud... all hope is lost.
all you can expect from adobe support is hang time on your cell phone adding to the cost, time, money and lost effort to install and reinstall the GIANT VIRUS known as the creative cloud.
adobe's difficult to understand tech support never followed up on the case number i was assigned.
i've spent at least 25 hrs trying to reinstall ps with the faulty creative cloud cleaner...
i now believe this software is detrimental to my year old dell precision which btw ran ps perfectly for ONE WEEK!
ps will no longer function and adobe both bangladesh and this community (which stands in because tech support is only available 40 hrs per week IF YOU'RE LUCKY!)

Add/Delete Custom Behavior From Library

Greetings,
I'm pretty new at Director, but how do you add/delete custom
made behaviors from the behaviors library?
Thank you.

Another cool tip is to create your own empty external castlib
(not attached to the movie) and place it in the 'xtras' folder
(C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director MX 2004\Configuration\Xtras).
Name it "my custom library" or something.
This way, it shows up is the Director 'xtras' menu, and when
selected, it opens as a regular unlinked castlib window which
allows you to directly copy from it and to it while you're working
in director.
hope this helps!

X100e Hanging and Freezing on Wireless

     There was a different thread addressing freezing and hanging when connected via ethernet; however, I have had ethernet disabled from the BIOS since day one of receiving my system but I found my system to be locking up extremely often particularly when connected to the Wi-Fi at Purdue University.
     For reference: The wireless network at Purdue University uses WPA-Enterprise with PEAP + Thawte Security Certificate.
     Naturally, I had the latest BIOS (1.25) and had all the updates available from ThinkVantage System Update, but this did not seem to help any - when I was browsing on my university network it would simply hang and freeze up completely every 30 minutes or so, forcing me to restart the system. It would seem to freeze regardless of whether or not I was even doing anything on the internet.
There did not seem to be any serious issues on my home network, however, which used WPA2-Personal, but I do not really use my x100e at home enough to say for sure.
     I was quite convinced that there was some sort of problem with either the wireless adapter drivers or some sort of power saving feature at this point, so I uninstalled the Lenovo x100e wireless drivers and obtained the newest drivers for the RTL8192SE chipset directly from RealTek and installed them.
     I then went and disabled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for the wireless adapter from Device Manager. I also set the wireless adapter to "Maximum Performance" and turned off PCI Express Link state power management from the power manager. I also turned off idle timers for stopping hard disk rotation, system standy, and hibernation.
Now after this little set of actions I seem to be able to more or less surf and download things stably on my university network. I must note that, the system will still hang every now and then while I am browsing around. I don't notice any particular pattern to this hanging; it simply happens when I have a browser open and am surfing normally - it will hang for about 40 seconds or so (I can move my mouse but nothing will respond) and then it will simply resume normal operation.
So there is my story....
Has anyone else ever experienced hanging or freezing on wireless networks with their x100e?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
So far, my networking results with my ThinkPad X100e have been very good, but I have only used it on a few networks.
Have you tried using your ThinkPad X100e on different wireless networks to see if the results vary? Perhaps the problem occurs with wireless networks that are configured in a specific fashion or using specific hardware. Connecting at a local coffee shop or public library or other venue with wireless Internet access may provide a different experience.

Windows 8 hangs or freezes whenever search for anything

Rebuild the Index
Whenever you try to search for something in windows, its indexing which find the things quickly and brings that to you.If indexing is disabled or corrupt computer won't be able to search and will not present the search results.Windows uses the index to perform very fast searches on your computer.
The index requires almost no maintenance. However, if the index can't find a file that you know exists in an indexed location, you might need to rebuild the index. Rebuilding the index can take several hours, and searches might be incomplete until the index is fully rebuilt.
Go to Control panel and open Indexing Options.
Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the Indexing Options window. This displays a new window titled Advanced Options.
Click the Index Settings tab if it isn’t selected already.
Click the Rebuild button to delete and rebuild the file index.
Click OK to confirm.
For more information on Advance indexing option you can read article on microsoft's website http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-advanced-indexing-options
Step 2 will always fix this issue but just in case its not helpful try the next Step 3.
3.Check the Registry Value
Manual Fix 1
1. Press Windows Key + R to get the run dialogue box.
2. Type "regedit.exe" in the box and hit enter.
3. Using the box on the left, navigate to the following directory:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
4. We need to change a registry called "Start_SearchFiles" to a value of 2. If you are like me, yours is already 2. We need to reset this so what we are going to do it change it to 0, then back to 2.
5. Double-click Start_SearchFiles or right-click and select "Modify" to get the edit box. Change the number under "Value data" to 0 then click "Ok".
6. Repeat step 5, changing the value back to 2.
7. Restart your computer.

Hi,
Regarding current information we can't say that it related to this exe file.
We need to use Clean boot mode and Safe mode to test the results:
Please first restart the Windows in Clean boot and see if the issue still persists after reboot:
How to perform a clean boot
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
half services.
If the issue still persists in Clean boot mode, please test in Safe mode.
Let me know the results in Safe mode.
If we cannot identify this issue in Clean boot and safe mode, please help to collect the boot trace and let's see what cause this issue:

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on Mac OS 10.7.2 - Hanging and Freezing

Hello there,
While I'm not very knowlegable about video editing software, I do use Premiere Elements 10 to edit videos for YouTube. I recently have been able to record using a device which records in 1080i, 29.97fps and saves as an mp4 file format. I've been trying to edit these files (which can be up to an hour long) in Premiere Elements; however, as soon as a video file from this recorder is imported and dragged into the project, it hangs and freezes. Sometimes, the hang happens when "conforming" the video file; other times it happens when trying to preview the video.
My theory is that it is due to the file format, or because of the sheer size of the file. The files can be several GBs.
I have tried to reinstall the program, but this hasn't worked.
Is there any advice you could give me?
Thanks,
LiamWatson28.

Hey Bill, thanks for the quick response.
It does use the H.264 CODEC. The project preset I'm using is NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 30, although when I import the video to the project, I sometimes get a dialog box telling me that the project settings can be matched to the imported video, which I allow it to do. I have around 250GB of free space on my HDD. I allow the video and audio to conform and such on importing, I do not try to edit the video/audio while it is conforming. I'd also like to add that all files are transferred onto the HDD before the edit.
My specs:
MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) running Mac OS 10.7.4 (Lion) I apologise, I had this wrong in the title and the original post.
Intel Core i5 2.4GHz Dual-Core
8GB RAM
500GB SATA HDD
Intel HD3000 Integrated Graphics (if that's any help)
If there's anything else I need to provide, please let me know.
EDIT: I just tested editing a 10 minute video with the same file format and project preset, and, while it was hanging as frequently, it would only be for up to 5 seconds. Compared to the 50 minute video I was trying to edit, the hangs were much longer, sometimes becoming freezes. I know that if there aren't any immediate fixes and using the same video settings, I'll have to reduce the file size by reducing the length of the video, so cutting more frequently rather than recording long stretches.
Thanks,
LiamWatson28.

Server hangs or freezes during heavy load

During peak times of the day, especially during heavy load on the Calendar Server,
the application seems to hang. The client side application will not respond on
the user's desktop, and uni* commands on the server itself respond considerably
slow.

There are two parameters in the server configuration file that are strongly
believed to be a trigger of server hangs or freezes in large deployments and/or
busy servers. Here is a description of the problem:

Large deployments tend to be 3000+ users per node. This could be a single or
multi-node environment.

A lock manager fix was implemented in 4.0 to correct a problem that was
found in 3.51 where the server would hang. At that time, the parameters called
read/writelocktimeouts
were introduced as a failover mechanism in case the
database was not available, which would then trigger the client process to
disconnect rather than hang the whole server.

These timeouts effectively will terminate a process whose read or write exceeds
the specified periods. The default of 20 seconds is quite a large amount of time;
however, it is not totally unlikely that such a value could be met on a
very busy system. If this is the case, and there is some relation between a
process being terminated by one of these timeouts and subsequent system
instability, then the "solution" would not be to extend the values of the
timeouts but rather to exclude them. This way, it will ensure that no process is
terminated this way and therefore the process would be allowed to continue until
it had completed its job.

The timeouts were not removed from the product, but under normal circumstances
they probably won't be needed anymore anyhow. It seems that on a busy calendar
server, setting the db timeout alarms may actually trigger the server to freeze.
Below are some examples of errors that appear in the log files which show
that the database is no longer accepting client requests:

db_VISTA ERROR -920 -> cst_d_open: d_open
db_SchedBaseOpen: unable to open database
probable cause: unilckd is down or "/users/unison/tmp/unisonlckm"
was removed
uniengd: database lock timeout
ITEM: "NA,NA" <0,0>
CLIENT: "unises", "A.02.80"
INET-NAME:
INET-ADDR:
CALL: "SessionsInfoGet"

To make the fix:
<OL>
<LI>Using your favorite editor, edit the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file.
In the following section you will see these two parameters:

[ENG]
writelocktimeout = 20
readlocktimeout = 20

<LI>Place a "#" sign (or the appropriate comment symbol for your OS) in front of
these two lines and save the file.

<LI>The server will now have to be restarted in order for the changes to take
effect.
</OL>

This looks similar to what I'm seeing.
DPM 2010, there's one backup set (for me a file server disk) that every time I try to run the initial replica on it the server hangs and needs to be rebooted by iLO. It doesn't just die suddenly, first the data stream on the backup stops then the OS becomes
less responsive but there is no resource issue. trying to open event view will cause a few things to lock up then over a few mins the server is complete froze. like the disk drives have been locked.
Suspecting McAfee, I added in all the exclusions, that didn't help so I added the process exclusions which are done by setting dpmra and csc to low risk and that didn't help either. I could reproduce it just by kicking off a backup for this one file servers
drive so it's easy to test with.
Tonight, I had some permissions in EPO to let me stop the scanning completely and disable the on-access scan and for the first time it worked!
There is definitely an issue between DPM and McAfee beyond what is on MS's web page for AV checks.
I don't have a workaround yet other than stopping the AV completely... Something to follow up on next week. For the moment I made some progress though.

Adobe Reader 11.0.03.37 hangs and freezes opening PDF documents

When opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader 11.0.03.37, it hangs and freezes for a few minutes. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a fix or work around?
We have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit operating systems. It takes a moment for the Adobe Reader to unfreeze itself but will eventually.
Thanks!

Found a fix for my problem. It wasn't the Protected Mode issue after all. The fix is to disable In Product Messaging.
Here is the fix for the problem. Now maybe Adobe can address this issue in the future release or patch/update.
Try it on yours and see if it doesn't fix it also.
The following below link provides the information I am about to share with you.
But open Adobe Acrobat Reader without opening a PDF file. So just open Adobe Reader application by itself.
1. Click on EDIT
2. Click on PREFERENCES
3. Click on GENERAL Category
4. UNCHECK "Show me messages when I launch Reader"
5. CHECK "Don't show messages while viewing a document"
This should fix your problem as it fixed mine. See the link below for more information. Looks like I will be doing a regedit script for our network users to get rid of this problem. UGGGHHH!!!!!!
Hope this helps!
