Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?
Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?
I had a similar problem after upgrading to Windows 7. The problem seemed to be that there was a dialog box that opened
that was not visible on the screen and it was blocking the print completion. Try this. Open the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences and clear the field "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." When I did that it solved my problem.
The unseen dialog box seems to be the fault of Windows 7, in my opinion.

Why does my computer freeze when Firefox is open and I start AutoCAD 2011?
I have been able to replicate this issue on 2 machines now. If I open Firefox 6 on my Windows XP Machine and then try to start AutoCAD 2011 the whole computer will freeze and I am required to use the power button to restart the computer. If I open AutoCAD 2011 first and then open Firefox 6 the computer does not freeze.
Maybe a conflict with DLLs that both programs use and AutoCAD needs its own version that is located in the AutoCAD folder. If Firefox is started first then an older version located elsewhere may be loaded that cause AutoCAD to crash or hang.

I have problems updating my softwarebecause my computer freezes when it restarts to install. I have enough disk space and I checked for disk repairs and everthing is ok. Still can't update and not my cumputer is taking longer to turn on. There is an earth blinking then i get the apple logo blinking before it turns on and this takes close to 5 minutes.
When you say, "disk repairs" are you referiring to permissions or verifying the disk because clearly there's a problem.
Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utilty to "verify" and if necessary repair the startup disk. (Not Verify Disk Permissions).

Why does my computer freeze whenever I go to iTunes?
Everytime I open itunes or go to itunes store, my computer freezes, with the whirling rainbow ball. It is driving me crazy, and yes I have up to date software
Because there's a problem - seriously with that amount of information to work with, what answer were you hoping for?
Does this involve iPhoto? If so:
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
If not, post in the forum for whatever software you are using, but remember to add that basic information -
Why does iphone 6 freeze and is blury
Hi, I just bought a 16gb iphone 6 8 days ago and since then I have updated the phone 4 times because with ios 8.1.2 the phone is freezing and is blury, does anyone have a solution?
Hello, BriceQc.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPhone 6 will not default to your Wi-Fi network unless in Airplane Mode. I would need a little more information regarding your router type, password protocol used and iOS software installed to provided a better answer. However, try updating your router firmware and go through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

When I try to download an article on Yhaoo home page the download freezes the computer and I have to use the " control alt delete " keys to turn off the download and get the computer running again.
How do I turn off the annoying and frustrating Mozilla Support page when booting up my computer? There ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PAGE TELLING HOW TO DO THIS WWHHYYY NNOOTT !!!Update Your Firefox to latest version of Firefox 17.0.1
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.'' -
Why does my computer freeze when I try and print a pdf?
I have a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit. It seemed that suddenly i developed this problem when trying to print a pdf file with Adobe X. Everything would look like it was going fine, but when the print download screen popped up, it would not download the pdf file and my computer froze. I have to manually shut down my computer to unfreeze it. I have tried to print using an earlier version of Adobe (Adobe 9), tried a different printer, tried printing as an image, or print as a file. Nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Why does my iPad freeze and crash?
WHen I log into my iPad I put in my password and then the home screen appears and it freezes. I cannot do anything. The screen does not work. After a few minutes it restarts on its own. This has happened several times in a matter of a few days. Does anyone know why this is happening And to fix the problem ?
There are not too many ways to fix an iPad. Try these. Could try to hock up to iTunes and read the logs.
Re-boot ipad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. page 128 iPad user manual.
force power down if the above give you trouble.
Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more. Hold until the Apple logo appears.

Why does my computer freeze when I leave it sitting on for more than an hour?
If I leave my computer on for an extended amount of time with it closed, the computer will not light up as I open it up or if I punch the keys. I can only see the slender light in the front right that has a slow flash. To turn it on I have to hold the power button until I don't see the flash and then power it back on. Sometimes this does not work and I need to force it off again. Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone know what this is?
Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. -

My does my computer freeze and the screen go black when I try to look at online videos?
It does not matter what site I am on, if I want to look at online videos my computer will lock up and not respond. It does this on CNN, etc when looking at iReports or other online videos.
Quit the Videos app completely, restart the iPad and then try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button
If that doesn't work, try this.
Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. when the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.
And if that doesn't work, You can try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
