  • When I use my computer for any amount of time all of a sudden the fan starts up full blast and everything freezes

    Nothing works after this happens its happened 3 times now, the first I just forced shut down and re started, the second I force shut down and left it off for the night, the third time I let it run like that for a bit to see if it would control itself but after a small amount of time I forced shut it down again.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

  • Why can't I play any videos on Firefox Mobile?

    Why can't I play any videos on Firefox Mobile? I know that currently Firefox Mobile does not support Flash, but mp4 videos will not play either.

    I fixed it by rebooting, now everything works. Thanks Demo, for your help.

  • I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

    I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes?  This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

    You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

  • Why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?

    why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?  The music isn't anything on my machine and the only way I can switch it off is to reboot.  Can anyone advise me please.  It's driving me nuts ... I don't even like the music it's playing!

    What apps are open and are you really still only on 10.5.1??????? At the very least please update your profile, also please remember to post more information. I suspect it's something going on with just your user account. You can verify that by creating another user account (call it TEST ACCOUNT) and log into that account and test. Once this has been verified then you will need to check which apps are running to determine what is causing your issue.

  • I can't play any sort of media on my bb curve 8520

    I received this phone from my dad who got a newer version. Everything was working fine when he had it, but I took it I went through "security options" and pressed a "security erase" everything he had was reset in order for me to be able to configure my email accounts, etc.
    But now I can't play any music or videos, not from youtube or from the media player on the phone, I mean it doesn't even play the song that comes for default! an error saying "Unable to play content" keeps coming up, and I have already taken out the battery and put it back on three times.
    Please help me!!

    I had to reset it again and use the desktop software reinstalling the entire basic software. On your desktop blackberry software go to the software up date thoght tools and if there are no newer veresions available, chose the botton for las version and intall it.

  • My Mac freezes trying to play any audio or video...

    Last night, I took the hard drives out of an older MacBook and a newer MacBook, and swapped them, which shouldn't be an issue because both are Intel based and everything is compatible. After swapping and turning both Macs on, the older Mac with the hard drive from the newer Mac works perfectly fine, like it should, but the newer Mac with the older drive is having issues. Everything works great, except when I try to play any sort of media. Songs will not play in Preview, iTunes, Safari, or anywhere else. The same occurs with video, freezing to the point where I get the infamous "spinning wheel of death."
    Everything was working perfectly fine right before I swapped. I've eliminated RAM possibly being an issue and I don't think it's the video card, as I was able to Preview and iPhoto through RAW photos from a 5DmkII.
    So that being said, does anyone have any suggestions?

    You do not mention a few significant details. Let's find out a few things.
    What models were the two computers? Please be specific such as "MacBook (early 2009)" or "iMac (24" Mid 2007.)"
    What operating systems was running on each computer?

  • Unable to play any type of video on iTunes

    I currently have iTunes 11.0.5.5 running on a 64-bit version of Windows 7. My problem is that whenever I try to play any type of video file including Movies and Music Videos, iTunes freezes. I can not do anything to it. I can't even close iTunes, I can only close iTunes by using the Task Manager.
    This problem has been going on since iTunes was in version 10. I have already tried unistalling and reinstalling, but that didn't do anything to it.
    I do not know how or why this happend, but I need a solution to fix this problem.

    Hi Shadow9809!
    I have an article here that addresses this issue, and can help you troubleshoot it further:

  • Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

    Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
    After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
    If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
    Thanks
    Jay

    +If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
    If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
    Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
    Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?
