Why is my MBP Retina 15" continuously crashing and freezing within iPhoto as I flip through my photo albums ?

Why is my MBP Retina 15" continuously crashing and freezing within iPhoto as I flip through my photo albums ?  This has occured all day now, with about 12 reboots and the problem presists.  Problem started while sharing photos with facebook and now occurs while fipping through all photo albums.  Have had additional problems with continuose freezing up and locking up in many other native and non-native applications, freezing all the time.  This reminds me of window based systems !

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.  Repair permissions and restart your computer.  If this works, one of your peripherals is the culprit. Otherwise, you should post in the iPhoto forum area in case your issue is software related rather than the Macbook Pro.

  • My Iphone5 continuously crashes and freezes since upgrading to IOS 8

    Ever since I upgraded all my phone does is crash all the time and freeze. My apps freeze constantly and my messaging does as well. I have the IOS 8.0.2 and my phone is worthless now. I cannot do anything with it. Seriously, it's my first iphone and I can't wait for my contract to be over in a few months so I can go back to Android. There is no reason why my phone should be useless after a supposed great software update. Apple *****!

    Hi kdbecky1,
    If you are having issues with your sounds on your iPhone being inconsistent, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why stop seling iPad retina display so soon, and continuing seling iPad 2

    Why stop seling iPad retina display so soon, and continuing seling iPad 2

    Hi,
    If you're asking because you were hoping to buy one, they might still be in Apple stores and will definitely be available in big box stores. 
    Retina ipad - Prices same as have been at big box store I checked.
    Apple Online Refurb store
    16 gb was $419.00. Today $ 379.00.
    32 gb was $499.00. Today $ 429.00.
    64 gb was $579.00. Today $ 529.00.
    Minis Until today
    new 16 gb mini was/is $329.00. Today $299.00 A refurbed 16 gb was $279.00. Today $249.00
    new 32 gb mini was/is $429.00. Today not on site. A refurbed 32 gb was $359.00. Today $339.00.
    new 64 gb mini was/is $529.00. Today not on site. A refurbed 64 gb was $439.00. Today $419.00.
    We have ipad 2's from Apple's refurb store and one as a gift. They have been great.
    Best Buy 32 gb $429.00 and a 64 gb is $529.00. Same price as usual. Check other big box retailers, too, if you're in the market to buy one.
    If you're simply curious, many would guess it all comes down to $$$$$$$$$. It's about the bottom line and in this tech world, many want the best and the newest. and they're willing to pay for it, even if some cannot afford it. And they make a heck of a profit doing as they do.
    Hope this helps.

  • My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.

    My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.Only the white screen with the apple logo will appear. This comes and goes randomly. I've tried resetting by holding the front and top buttons. I've also tried resetting using itunes. Neither had any effect, The Ipad was a christmas present and only worked for several hours, the apple store can not look at it for another week. Is this a common occurance? I thought apple products were expensive because they never had problems.

    Call Apple and explain as it is new. They will go over things to try and fix over the iPad over the phone. If they need to fix it they should send you a new one and you put the old one in thePrepaid return box they send you and send back the defective iPad for no cost. This is what they did with my first iPad 1st gen. I had. Unless they changed their policy you will get the box within a day or two and have your replacement for it the same day.
    I hope how they helped me is the same for you.  Good luck.

  • Why does elements 13 crash and freeze while starting up while using windows 8.1

    Have had problems with crashes and freezing up with both elements 12 and now elements 13.   Thinking there are problems with Windows 8.1 and adobe premiere elements.   Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

    Perhaps you also need to reset the preferences file for your both PSE12 and PSE13.  The suggested method for earlier versions (10 and 11) was posted here:
    <can't get pse10 to take my styles, have had pse 10 since 2011 bought pse13 and installed, uninstalled pse10 inorder to get pse13 to install easer, I reinstalled pse10 but now the stules I have do not appear in the effect section. I have checked BOTh secti>
    Read post number 3 to see if it works in PSE12 and PSE13.  Do 12 first and then 13.

  • 2012 MBP 15" crashing and freezing

    I just purchased my macbook pro about a week and a half ago. I've already had a couple of crashes and freezes. At first, i thought it might have been the google chrome I was using. I deleted chrome about 5 days ago and it still has been freezing.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or, should I just bring this in?

  • Crashes and Freezes - too many to count in the last 48 hours

    I generally Love Premiere and the whole CC suite. But this week the program continually freezes and just stops functioning. I've restarted both the program and my computer at least 20 times in the last 48 hours... you can how this is impacting my time and deliverable... which is due today BTW. I've edited a ton of projects in premiere but lately it seems to be crashing and freezing ALOT. I'm a professional and my demands are professional. Its when my tools start to let me down that I become disappointed and discouraged.
    My question is WHY?
    I would think that by now Premiere would be rock solid. Why is it not?

    I *think* I found one of the issues... Red Giant Universe plugins seem to freeze up the system. So I yanked them off all my timelines and the freezing seemed to stop.
    I also had strange issues with Red Epic footage and I believe the culprit for those was the Red Gamma 4 setting. Not scientific by any means but...

    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.

    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Iphone Crashing and Freezing

    Hi! I'm mostly looking to see if I have a lemon or if others are experiencing the same problems I have been having with my iphone. My iphone crashes and freezes several times daily. I have to reboot at least once a day, and often more than that. I've already sent the iphone to apple for repairs, and it came back with the exact same issue. I could live with the $200 dollar decrease in cost, but for that extra 200 dollars, I would love an iphone that is reliable!
    Most of the other users I've seen here seem to be experiencing only intermittent crashing, and specifically of utilities...they usually find themselves back in the start screen. My phone is freezing...literally no brain activity. Please let me know if you have the same problems.

    I am not sure that you should be subjected to the Freezing and Crashing on a continued basis as you describe.
    As I have said before, Resetting and Restoring merely bypasses the fact that you are not fixing the problem but in fact putting a Band Aid on a mortal wound. These freezes are associated with a malfunction in the iPhone, whether it be software or hardware, it is a iPhone problem.
    You should get down to the Apple Store and tell them what is happening and either get a replacement or assistance in helping you get your iPhone sent to Applecare.
    I would not wait.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen crashes and restarts every time I try to edit a photo (iOS 5.1.1)

    My iPod touch 4th gen crashes and restarts every time I try to edit a photo. Why is this happening and is there any way to fix it? It's not jailbroken, so I guess it's not malware

  • New to Apple TV - do they all crash and freeze like this?

    I have had mine for about 10 days. I have had it freeze (and do the diagnostics/restart) about 15 times.
    I am starting to get the hang of it. It seems to hate a bunch of my videos (encoded home movies mostly - used Handbrake and VisualHub's Apple TV setting). I can get it to crash 'on demand' on a few videos.
    What gives with the crashing? Can't it just choke on a video and refuse to play? Many times the crashing does not seem to be specific to a video though.
    I have tried the diagnostics - it reported that it was fine. I tried the system restore .. still having trouble. I am thinking if I restore it again I should stick to the first firmware (ie: not update). Might that help?
    Things are working better with the sync'ing now that I know that iTunes must be open - and I disabled the Windows 7 firewall rather than just poking the hole for the port Apple was requesting.
    Anyway - I am really disappointed. The iPhone remote is great, I love having my iTunes library in sync - but lack of 1080p and these crashes are driving my family crazy. I am probably gonna return it, but hoping for some ideas...

    do they all crash and freeze like this?
    No, they don't.
    Take a look at this document to see what formats are supported and how to properly convert them.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1532
    This next document is very specific as to the formats that will play.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP19
    iTunes has the ability to convert movies to the proper format. So does Quicktime Pro. For the record, though, I have converted a number of videos using the Mac version of Handbrake and have had no issues what-so-ever playing those files.

  • My iPad air keeps crashing and freezing when browsing the internet . Please help :(

    My husband and I updated to the new OS. Now our iPad Air's keep crashing and freezing whilst browsing the internet.  We have done a reset and swiped away pages but nothing is helping. Its very frustrating Can anyone help? Thank you Jo

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, confirm that this is what you did for a "reset."  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Windows 8.1 crashes and freezes

    I am running Windows 8.1 on Samsung series 5 ultrabook equipped with:
    - AMD A4-4355M  processor
    - AMD Radeon HD 7400G (integrated graphics)
    Recently I have used samsung recovery tool and got my laptop to initial state(from the day of the first turn on), with the first start after recovering multiple actualizations were automatically downloaded and installed and everything was running smoothly
    for a week or so. Problems occurred two days ago, when for no apparent reason my computer was crashing and freezing displaying wide vertical stripes of the colour that was dominating on the screen at the moment of crashing. Those crushes were occurring 3 to
    5 minutes after turning on the computer. I have managed to download and install newest recommended graphic drivers, however it hasn't helped at all.
    In my desperation I have recovered system one more time yesterday, during recovering process (lasting 20min) everything was ok, and after turning on the system everything is working UNTIL I open IE, then the same problem instantly occurres.

    Hi Gbonaert,
    This kind of issue might be caused by incompatible add-ons or corruption during update.
    Reset Internet Explorer then check the issue again.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/reset-ie-settings#ie=ie-11
    If the issue still persists
    Try disable/removing add-ons in your Internet Explorer, or you also could start Internet Explorer under no add-on mode.

  • IPad crashing and freezing after 8  ios updates

    My iPad 1 has been crashing and freezing after completing the most recent ios updates, what could be wrong?

    Can there be any person who can say that Apple treats customers as valuable persons ?
    Way how IPAD 2 users are treated, served and issues solved shows clearly how they just care of new purchases. All crashes, slowness, battery consumption, extremely bad user experience with slow and jamming UI etc... Anyway this is over now with me as I'm moving out from IPAD / IOS due this experience. Ride was a good but now its over as trust is totally destroyed by Apple.
