Why does my computer lock up when some videos start to run?

When I load some videos the video will start for a few seconds then stop. At this point my whole computer locks up and I have to do a restart to get my mail or on the internet.
I have right clicked on the video and disabled the acceleration function. That worked for a while but the problem has started again. When I right click the video it shows that the accelerator is NOT enabled but my computer locks up. Thanks for any help, Hosteen - Nez

Why does my computer lock up when I try to delete bookmarks?

I'm trying to delete unused bookmarks on the bookmarks bar by highlighting and using the delete key, have also tried dragging to trash bin...each time I get the spinning wheel and Safari stops responding. Any suggestions? Running the latest software.

OK yes I am using the Share to Facebook option and it's still not working. I even called Apple and they helped me export from iPhoto to iMovie and it's still not working. My camera ia a Canon and I used their upload to Facebook option and it's still not working. I get this error message Apple-scc a report that goes to Apple when the computer hangs up.

Why does my computer shut down when i try to connect to the internet?

I have recently found that when i'm trying to connect to the internet, a box is appearing something like This device does not exist, please check your settings and try again. My settings are fine, my wires are connected and i cant find any reason why the connection wouldn't work. I have shut down my computer and this hasn't helped when i have restarted it and now, the screen has gone dark with an scary box saying the computer has to restart itself. No reason is given (or at least i can't remember if there was a reason). My computer is going a bit slower now and is making a noise like an application is opening or the computer is doing something.
Can anyone help???? I have only had my i baby for a few months. I do download stuff all the time and i have been known to leave my internet connection on for a day at a time. Could this have caused the problem?

Close all apps in the multi-task window and try again.
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

Your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. The gauge "thinks" you have 20%, but the battery doesn't agree. You need to run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off, then charge for 4 hours with the wall adapter. You may need to do this more than once if it is way off calibration.

Why does my computer turn black when I wake it up from Sleep Mode

When I need to go somewhere or just eat lunch, I put my iMac to sleep. After that, when I come back to wake it back up, it stays black, I called Apple Support and they said I need to pay 20 dollars just to see if they can resolve the issue. So, if there is anyone that knows how to resolve this issue, I would very much appreciate it.

Try resetting your iMac's SMC and see if that fixes your issue. This happened to me once with my MacBook Air and resetting the SMC did the trick.
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: For Intel-based Xserve computers that are not responding, you can shut down locally, or by using remote commands, or by pressing and holding the power button for five seconds.

HT203477 Why does my computer quit unexpectedly when I click on "Show the Project Library" in Final Cut Pro X ?

Hello,
When I click on "Show the Project Library" on Final Cut Pro X program, my computer unexpectedly quits.
I just purchased an iMac 27in screen, (16G Ram) and all the features suggested by the Apple representative to run Final Cut Pro X.
The program was working well for about a week. Afterward, I downloaded all my iMovie projects. I'm wondering if that has created this problem.
Any suggestions as to what the solution might be? Thanks.
Jack

Over the year I've used FCPX, it' s gone through "spells" where specific actions would crash it - much as you describe. Trashing preferences has nearly always fixed things. Several times, when it did not, I reinstalled the app.
However, I've never imported an iMovie project so I can't give any first hand advice. It will be interesting to see whether FCPX opens if it doesn't see those projects. (per Tom Wolsky's advice.)

Why does my keyboard lock up when I receive a new email (Firefox 8)?

With Firefox 8, if I'm typing and a new email arrives, my keyboard and everything else freeze. The only thing that stops this is refreshingi the page.
This is annoying to say the least, especially when a string of emails arrives and the problem repeats.
What can I do? Right now I'm sorry I switched to Firefox 8.

Have you tried doing a hard reset? That might fix the issue. You can do this by holding down the power button and the home button at the same time until the apple logo shows up and then let go and let it finish rebooting

Why does my computer slow down when I connect an external hard drive

I've been using a 2TB western digital external hard drive with USB connection. It was working fine, but once it was up to 1.95TB, my macbook pro froze up. Looking at my activity monitor, my memory dropped to nil once the hard drive was connected. The same hard drive works fine on my PC and I have no issues accessing all the files, just not on my mac. Any suggestions?

Thanks Eustace,
When I disconnect the external hard drive, and look at the activity monitor, the memory climbs back up to about 4 to 6GB free.
I have software system version: OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)

Widows 7 works well for me with many versions of Photoshop. I would suggest the you make sure you have installed all the latest Device Drivers for all the devices you have on your machine the Photoshop may use. Display driver, Mouse driver, keyboard driver, Tablet driver, Printer driver and also make sure you do not have two different display adapters enabled on you system.

Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things?

     Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things? I start to enter something in the search window. I get a drop down with suggestion I choose one and it pops up in my search window but just turns a color and does nothing!
    If I quit Safari and bring it back up, then enter the exact same line it's fine. This is just one of the many problems I've been
having with Safari since I installed Yosemite.
     Has anyone got any suggestions or is anyone having the same problem. Is there a way to maybe force my MacBook pro to reinstall Safari or possibly all of Yosemite. I seem to be having a lot of problems and judging by the responses I've received (That would be None) I must be the only one having any problem at all withYosemite. Not sure what to do.
     Any help or suggestions would be great

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.
