Why does my iPad keep freezing when watching programmes on itv player or you tube.

Try the basic troubleshooting tips and see if any of these help with the freezing issue.
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.
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.
Quit the apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button.

Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up?

Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up? It only happens sometimes, but also happens spontaneously. 21' iMac 2011 model. It just started recenlty after a new firmware update from apple. Any advice or reasons why would be appreciated.

boot to lion recovery and run verify/repair on the hard drive. verify will say: appears to be okay OR needs to be repaired. No matter what outcome, you will repair anyways (as it will do some updating on the volume)
Process: hold command R during startup/ wait till you see mac os utility (might have to select english as the main language first) then disk utility/ select macintosh HD on the left, and then verify/repair on the right bottom side. Cheers!

Why does my Mac keep freezing and applications not responding?!?

Hello everyone, I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 500gb HD, 4gb ram. The problem is that it keeps freezing. I am writing this on my iPhone because my laptop would probably just freeze up if I even attempted to open an application. The problem is that my laptop won't stop freezing up. As soon as I have any application open, it will stop being responsive, give me the beach ball spinning wheel thing, and I'll use command-option-escape to open the force quit menu (because at this point the mouse usually can me moved around the screen but just makes the system get worse) to force quit what ever applications I have open. Then finder will stop responding, and then nothing will work until I do a forced shut down (hold the power button down) and turn it back on again, where the same thing happens within a minute. I tried repairing permissions and doing a P RAM reset, but have had no success with either. Please help, this is ridiculous, I can barely use my laptop and I need it for school. Thanks,
-Dylan

Your issue sounds like the hard drive is failing or it was bumped or moved while it was operating and corrupted the data on the drive.

Why does my Mac keep freezing with shortcuts in CS6?

Currently here's the situation
I'm on an OSX Lion machine (10.7.4) with 7GB of memory.
I have the following shortcuts in Illustrator:
Cmd +Shift + = : To export a file
Cmd +3 : Select the same fill color
Cmd + 4: Select the same stroke color
Cmd + . : Rotate
Cmd + , : Reflect an object
It doesn't matter which shortcut it is what will happen is that Illustrator and my Mac will freeze up not allowing me to force quit the program. This will happen randomly and the only way around it is to restart the mac and restore default preferences via Cmd + Option + Shift when opening the program.
I have tried re-installing the suite and it still happens, so I'm wondering is it the specific shortcuts I am using or is it the computer? I only ask because Illustrator has no issues when everything is defaulted, however when I add the shortcuts this issue will happen.
Thank you in advance.

Is it just these custom shortcuts that are crashing the machine, or any shortcut?
What did you do the the exisitng shorcuts, did you disabel them. (eg: CMD 3 is hide).
You may want to try using Fkeys instead for your custom shortcuts, you just want to check the :Usea ALL F1, F2, etc.

Why does my Itunes keep freezing when I try to sync my Ipod?

Hello,
Everytime I try to rearrange my music or take music on or off my Ipod Nano my Itunes freezes up and I am unable to sync my new music to my Ipod. What is going on? I have uninstalled and reinstalled I have reverted my Ipod back to factory settings and yet it still freezes when I try to add or take music off the Ipod. What other suggestions should I do?
Thanks,

Why does my mac keep freezing?

My mac book pro is almost 2 years old and recently its started freezing every time I try and do a simple task. I open finder and it freezes or I open a new tab on chrome and it freezes it and it freezes up really bad when I'm sliding between desktops but basically I do anything and I have to wait a few minutes before it responds.
It doesn't have the spinning wheel the whole computer just doesn't repsond and I have no clue whats wrong with it so any help at all would be amazing.

raciemily,
try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still freeze every time you try to do a simple task?

Why does my iMac keep freezing when I get it to sleep?

I've installed SL and have several problems, but the one major one is that, whenever I put the machine to sleep, it freezes leaving a black screen relieved only by that blasted spinning beachball.
Does anyone know what I can do about this?
Richard
PS: To avoid confusion, I have what I thought was a G5 but it's actually an Intel-based machine after all

Two calls to support and a visit to the Genius Bar couldn't solve this. Then I finally figured out what was going wrong.
For some reason the Snow Leopard install changed my screensaver settings to show/point to photos in iPhoto. Then when my system tried to go to screensaver mode the whole system was freezing up (black screen with spinning wheel) when it tried to access iPhoto's photos. My guess is that since iPhoto is such a memory hog and normally can take a while to load that something wacky was going on with the screensaver trying to access it.
The minute I changed my screensaver settings to something else other than iPhoto I stopped having the freezing problem.

Why does my Mac keep crashing when playing Batman: Arkham City?

This is the second time I've played through this game. The first time I played the entirety of it without any crashes, but since then there was an Apple/OSX software/hardware update and now it crashes every 5 minutes or so. The update I'm talking about supposedly fixed graphics/GPU performance issues, so I'm wondering if that update is the problem now. Here's what I think is going on:
In order for the system to allow decent performance on the Retina model MacBook Pros, more GPU power had to be unleashed (either through some overclocking or just letting it run longer before slowing the processes down and kicking the fans up??) so they had to allow the GPU to get hotter, but now it gets too hot and so OS X is terminating the causal application, Arkham City, before any damage is done.
Also, no matter what graphics settings I use in the game the FPS rate average only changes from a low of 47 fps to high of 52fps. I'm not that into gaming, so I don't really know much about it, but that doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Here is a list of all the settings that I have ON when I get an average 45fps: Full Screen Anti-Aliasing: 8x; Detail Level: High, Dynamic Shadows: Yes, Motion Blur: Yes, Lens Flares: Yes, FXAA: Yes, Light Shafts: Yes, Reflections: Yes, Ambient Occlusion: Yes, V-Sync: Yes, and Particles: High
When I switch everything to either off or its lowest setting, it only gives me an additional 5-7fps, AND it still crashes, if anything, more often than when the higher settings are used. How can I get my Mac to let me play through this game like I used to?
The computer running Arkham City is a 2012 Macbook Pro with Retina Display, 15", Quad 2.7Ghz i7 w/8MB L3 Cache, 16GB RAM, and 768GB SSD, Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024MB + Intel HD4000.
Thanks for any help you can give!
P.S. If you haven't played the Batman Arkham series, I highly recommend them both (this current issue notwithstanding).

You can make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple Store for a consultation. They will examine your Mac and try to figure out what might be wrong with it. The consultation is Free, whether you have AppleCare coverage or not.

Why does my Mac keep freezing up

Not sure if it is a Mac OS X (10.7.2) Can't find the numbers anywhere.
Anyway, it keeps locking up and I have to shut everything down and reboot.
Is there any way to fix this?

I had the exact same problem. For me, the workaround was to disable 'Allow Simultaneous Downloads' on the Downloads screen in iTunes. With only one item downloading at a time, I've had no problems at all.

Why does my iPhone keep freezing when I type ?

Why does my mac keeps freezing every time i go to settings?

I cannot use my settings icon because every time i do it just freezes(the colorful wheel appears and just stays for a very long period of time there until i decide to exit it). How can i fix this problem? i cannot use anything or change anything in my macbook pro.

By settings you mean system preferences?
It has a preference file or .plist that you need to delete.
In Lion Apple has decided to 'hide' the ~/Library folder where preferences are stored along with many other items you may want to access to fix or troubleshoot.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
