Why freezing (mini 2011) and how to get out from there without shutting down?

Still difficult to know why/what action/what behaviour, but why am I getting (at least once avery 4-5 hours of use, to be fair...), a hang/freeze (that kaleidoscope ball...) - sometimes with nothing special (it just happened as I was starting to write this message!...) ?
I hear people who are going for years (or at least they claim it) without a single freeze or crash wth their Mac (reason why I invested in one mini, and soon another one...).
Ok I would get it if I had 5 apps going on with 4GB of ram (still, depends which apps...). I get it with Photo Booth, I get it with Microsoft Office 2011 (a simple plain Word document), I get it surfing on Safari... So nothing very ''specific''.
And sometimes, it is the shut down that freezes.... I come up hours later or the day after and realize it had not completed shut down (still that rolling wheel on the white background).
I have all OS X (Lion) and other apps updates to date.
So, to which extent is it ''normal'' to get a crash (or is it a crash ? - when I cannot go further and there is no other way but to force shut down physically (Power button)? - And is there another way to get out from there on a Mac ? (Being a Windows user, my automatic reflex would be Ctrl+Alt+Del... when this works...)
Thanks,
Rob

You iPod encountered an error and has to be restored.

    Hello. When I turned on my Ipone 4s today all of my contacts were gone. They are backed up in iCloud but can't figure out how to get them from there back to my phone. Aren't them supposed to sync automatically over wifi? Can someone please help me?

    Hello jllew333
    Check to make sure that Contacts is toggled on to sync by going to Settings > iCloud. Also go to iCloud.com to see if the contacts are showing up there to see if it syncing those contacts.

  • Urgent : how to put an image into database and how to get it from it?

    hi,
    in the database i made a longblob type for image, and in my java code i have the path of the image (String): "C:\............." and i want to put this image in my data base.
    also i want to know how to get the image after put it in the database.
    please help me, it's so urgent.

    This is a way of getting the image out of the database.
    class yourClass{
    private byte[] buff;
    private ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream;
    public yourClass()
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery("your query");
    while ( result.next()){
    try{
    BufferedInputStream bin = new BufferedInputStream(rs.getBinaryStream("imagecolumn"));
    byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int length = bin.available();
    buff = new byte[length];
    while ( bin.read( buff, 0, length ) != -1 ) {
    byteArrayOutputStream.write( buff, 0, length );
    bin.close();
    catch(Exception e){
    The class about is used to take the image out of the database and store it in an object which is then streamed out through a servlet to display on the jsp page.
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    public class ImageServlet extends HttpServlet {
    public void init() throws ServletException {    }
    public void destroy() {    }
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
    try
    yourClass pro = (yourClass)request.getSession().getAttribute("object");
    while ( iterator.hasNext() ) {
    pro = ( Product ) iterator.next();
    response.setContentType("image/jpg");
    ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = pro.getImage();
    response.setContentLength( byteArrayOutputStream.size() );
    response.getOutputStream().write( byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray() );
    response.getOutputStream().flush();
    return;
    catch (Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    throw new ServletException(e);
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
    doGet(request, response);
    This is a little messy but if you search the forums you will find out more on it. Search for Images and database.

  • I have an iPad2 and have been experiencing problems since the last software update.  My iPad randomly freezes and has to be shut down and restarted to move between apps.  The screen also suddenly enlarges and can't be reduced in size without shutting down

    Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same issue of the screen freezing or suddenly enlarging.  I'm having to shut down and restart as much as five or six times a day.  This has been happening pretty regularly for the past week or more, but seems to be getting worse.  Could it be the last software update?

    Close all apps in Multi-Task Window.
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • I sync my purchase from store to ipod now all my music and games are gone why did this happen and how doi get them back?

    i sync my purchases to my ipod now all my music is gone and my games are gone too how can i get them back?

    You most likely synced your iPod to a different iTunes then you previously synced it with.  You won't be able to get all of your music back unfortunately unless you had it backed up.

  • The apple id on my iphone is not my id, why is it so and how to get rid of it?

    Hi, I am downloading application from Apple Store, The Apple ID shown was not the one which I have registered. How can I get rid of it?

    just to settings/ then store/ then hit the apple ID and sign out.

  • I have the latest version of iTunes, and the "explicit" red tag has disappeared from the songs that are suppose to have them on there. Can tell anyone tell me why that is happening and how to get it back?

    HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPP!

    I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
    Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility?  That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
    Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
    Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says.  Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
    The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

  • How to get values from a multiple drop-down box.

    On my first page, I have a multiple drop-down box as the following code.
    <select name="selInterMethod" class="textbox" multiple>
    <option selected value="CH">Chicago</option>
    <option value="NY">New York</option>
    <option value="SF">San Francisco</option>
    </select>
    On my second transaction page, I need to save "CH-NY" into my Database column: city if the user selected Chicago and New York.
    How can I accomplish this in JSP?
    Thanks for your help.

    I figured out the solution. Here it is. FYI
    String inter_method = "";
    String Inter_Method[]=request.getParameterValues("selInterMethod");
         if( Inter_Method.length > 0 ) {
              for (int i = 0; i < Inter_Method.length; i++) {
                   inter_method = inter_method + '-' +Inter_Method;
              inter_method = inter_method.substring(1,inter_method.length());
              System.out.println("trx inter_method = " + inter_method);

  • TS2446 anybody know how to get passed this when they shut down your account

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
