Windows becomes unresponsive

I am trying to install Adobe Premiere Elements 13. File seems to download okay, but when I click on the executable, the program gets hung up. (Windows message: "non-responsive".)
I've tried this a number of times, rebooted, etc. and have had no success.

Firefox tabs close when I click on a tab and windows become unresponsive after I launch a site. Using latest version for MacOSX. How do I fix this bug? Have already tried a bunch of things.

Firefox tabs close when I simply click on a tab and windows become unresponsive after I launch a site. I am using the latest version for MacOSX but this happened a couple days ago with an older version of Firefox as well. Is this some kind of bug? How do I fix this bug? Have already tried a bunch of things like clearing/reinstalling etc. This does not help.

Why does Firefox on my Windows 7 PC hang (become unresponsive) while it waits for most pages to load or run scripts?

Firefox hangs (becomes unresponsive) when accessing many sites including Gmail. Eventually, when hung, Firefox will throw up a window saying "WARNING: A script has become unresponsive" or, in the case of Gmail, the page itself will say "Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an internet connectivity problem."
IE8 and Google Chrome are working normally. I've tried Firefox in safe mode, re-installing and even running Firefox portable from a USB thumb drive. Each time with the same result—Firefox hangs or becomes unresponsive while it waits for most pages to load or run scripts.

Your problem sounds like the one that a co-worker and I started to have about the same time. Check your Symantec client management control log. You might see a line like the following.
Date and Time Severity Level Action Test / Production Description API Class Rule Caller Process ID Caller Process Parameter User
2012-07-30 10:48:09 AM 15 Block Production Unauthorized NT call rejected by protection driver. System Built-in rule 1608 FlashplayerPlu FuncID-B6H, R... None
At first we thought that it was a Javascript problem until we noticed this log. The key words are 'Block' and 'FlashPlayerPlu'. This problem recently started for us, perhaps with a software push 1-2 weeks ago. Internet Explorer does not hang when accessing pages with Flash.
The Flash page does eventually load after a long time. However, since the whole browser hangs for a while, for the most part having the Flash plugin enabled makes Firefox unusable if accessing pages with Flash.
Disabling the Flash plugin solves the hanging problem, but I do not know what is causing the problem, nor do I know when a combination of Windows 7, Flash, and Symantec will work. Your later version of Symantec shows that we might have the problem for a while, but I do not know what customization CSC did with Symantec. My coworker did run a complete virus scan, uncovering nothing. Another co-worker is running Windows XP. She does not have the problem, but I do not know what other versions of software she is running.

Labview Executable Becomes Unresponsive, Windows reports Insufficient Resources when trying to perform explorer tasks

I have a test program that is utilizing the NI-9481 relay modules to switch power to a part and switch a Keithley 2000 DMM to measure the voltage. This test needs to power on and off the part 3000x for 4 minutes on and 4 minutes off. I implemented this design using a state machine design pattern. The timing is done in one minute increments using the "Get Time/Date in seconds" function available with Labview 8.2. Each minute a measurement is taken and the data is writen to a text file.
   -Measurements Algorithm:
      -Prior to anything, instrument is initialized with a reset, enters state machine loop
      -Measurment Function, configures DC Volts and trigger, (relays switch), send trigger and read from instrument when SRQ is asserted
   -Switching Algorithm:
      -DAQmx Create task w/Auto cleanup(T)
      -DAQmx Create channel - Digital Output
      -Property Node for Channel - DO.Invert Lines = False
      -DAQmx Generate Digital 1D Data
      -DAQmx Write Data w/ Auto start(T)
I have been working out the bugs with the devices we are communicating with and they appear to be working normally, however for the second time(yesterday was a DAQmx error) at cycle 131(17ish hours into the test) the program has become unresponsive and windows will not open the task manager and windows explorer reports "Insufficient system resources" when attempting to open a window. Labview is not reporting an error...
Currently I suspect the while loop that is controlling the timing and am placing a WaitTillNextmsMultiple function in the loop set to 500.
Also I wonder if the DAQmx sequence is consuming memory and eventually consumes all system resources.
If anyone has any ideas or knows of a problem with the devices I am using please help. Thanks

If the bolded stuff is happening repeatedly... you have answered your own question.
LV will not destroy resources until it exits as part of its clean-up routine.
Create tasks and allocate resource once when you start and re-use them until you are done, then detroy them.

I have a refurbished iPhone 5 (which I got less than a year ago) and the screen becomes unresponsive and there is a purplish haze that appears on the phone when I try to use it. Hasn't been dropped or cracked.. What could it be? help!!

I Have a refurbished iPhone 5 that is less than a year old (apple replaced my first one due to a battery fault) but this one has all of a sudden become unresponsive most times and a purple haze has come thru the background on the lCd. The cursor goes abit cranky sometimes too and jumps from Window to window?! It has never been dropped or screen has never been replaced either no exposure to water or sun. This happened after I upgraded to the new iOS 8.1. I don't think it was the update but I've never had good results from updating the iPhone anyway..
HELP?? I have an appt with Apple tomorrow but don't know if I can wait that long!!
THanks in advance.

I just installed latest updates and now itunes becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes

The latest OSX update (Security Update 2013-003) perhaps is breaking itunes. It becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes and I have to force quit it each time.

with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

Adobe reader becomes unresponsive when attempting to activate read aloud

I am running Windows XP Professional on a Dell and using Mozilla Firefox. Every time I attempt to activate Read Aloud mode, Adobe crashes or becomes unresponsive. Thank you for your help!

ITunes freezes and becomes unresponsive when I plug in my iPad.

I have Windows 7, and iTunes works perfectly fine, until I plug in my iPad or any device (I have a iPod touch 4 generation and iPhone 4s). The second I plug in my iPad, iTunes completely freezes and becomes unresponsive. It also becomes unresponsive when I try to go to Preferences. I have to go to task manager to force iTunes to close, but if I unplugged my iPad, iTunes becomes responsive after a couple minutes.
I have researched this problem multiple times, and it seems several others are experiencing the same problem. I have tried their suggested advice, and it did not work for me. I have tried many methods to solving the solution, but it freezes up so quickly I can't even access my iPad on iTunes to ensure that it won't sync automatically. I have also tried holding Ctrl+Shift when plugging it in because iTunes said that way it won't sync automatically. This, however, does not work. iTunes is beginning to become very frustrating. I just really need any advice that will allow me to sync my device ASAP.
I understand there must be some sort of bug in the latest version of iTunes (I also have the latest version of iOS on my iPad and iPhone), but if anyone has any advice as to how to get around this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Tiger becoming unresponsive

I'm running Tiger 10.4.2 and every now and then the system will become unresponsive. The unresponsiveness grows exponentially with respect to the time it started. The clock on the menubar updates in minutes instead of seconds. You can do things but the % CPU usage for system processes is at 102%. So clicking on a dock icon may take a minute or more. The funny thing is you can choose a cocoa application's window and move it around the screen just as fast as possible (ie: terminal with opacity) and it performs as fast as one would expect. The CPU cooling fan never ramps up. So it seems that part of the system is working just fine. Most of the time you have to hold down the power button and reset the machine. Two or Three time I was able to recover from this condition. Once by quitting a running java application.
At first I suspected the 5.0 JVM, but I've seen it happen without running (at least to my knowledge) the JVM at all. Lately, I've been suspicious of Virtual PC 7.0.2 running Windows XP but haven't been able to confirm it.
I've talked to Apple and Microsoft, but no help there.
Has anybody seen this at all, and been able to isolate the problem?

I installed Virtual PC 7 "stand alone" Sunday, upgraded to 7.02 and imported Win98 and Win2K PC's from Connectix Virtual PC 5.x (hadn't used for quite some time). I tried upgrading IE on the Win2k VM and shortly thereafter all but the mouse became unresponsive. After two Hard resets my 60G boot drive wouldn't boot, or even show up in Disk Utility when booting off another drive(also Tiger 10.4.2). I got it mounted in the external firewire box, but Disk Utility couldn't repair it, and even the other Boot of Tiger became unresponsive (though not as completely). My first thought was that Virtual PC killed my system: it's the first upgrade I've bought since Microsoft took it over from Connectix, and naturally I was skeptical. but after having so much trouble fixing the drive I thought maybe it was just an incredible coincidence - having had no major drive trouble for years. After reformatting the drive, however, it seems to behave just fine (too soon to tell for sure), which led me back to searching for Virtual PC 7 and Tiger links in this discussion.
By the way, I installed VPC 7 (not the 7.02 upgrad) on a different G4 running 10.3.9 Tuesday, installed win2k, upgraded IE to 6.? and it has been working flawlessly - so far.

Downloaded Safari 4.0.3 upgrade and Safari will become unresponsive. Why??

Periodically the new version of Safari will become unresponsive when I click on a web site. Any web site. The spinning beach ball starts and never quits. I have to force quit and start it back up again. I hope that Apple is working on a fix for this.It seems a lot of others are having problems with it too.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Have you checked to see how much free disk space you have on the PBook?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*
~Library/Input Managers
~Library/Internet Plugins
If there are any files in the Input Managers and Internet Plugins folder, drag them to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your PBook.
Repair Disk Permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Also, these updates are required to run Safari 4.
Security updates 2009-001 and 002.
Open System Preferences/Software Updates. Make sure those updates were installed.

Import function becoming unresponsive

Hi,
We're having a very strange issue on one of our workstations.
After Effects CC 2014.2, Mac Pro (Late 2013) OSX 10.10.2 (this problem was present for us on previous versions of AE and OS).
Basically you can be happily importing files into the Project. Double clicking in the window, command I or drag in - all work then suddenly the import window will stop appearing. If you double click in the project window or use command I - nothing. Completely dead. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it in terms of how many imports. It can be after 3 or after 30 imports. Doesn't matter what you're importing. Various image types (jpg png tif etc), image sequences, movs will all come in fine then suddenly the import window is unresponsive. You can still drag files from the OSX Finder into the project window. Weird.
This happens for local or network files.
This was driving us mad so we completely reinstalled the machine, right down to reformatting the drive but the problem is back again. Reinstalled everything clean (i.e. not from any backup).
We've got identical set ups on other machines, all of which are working fine so this is becoming a real mystery.
Is there any way of monitoring what's going on in the background in After Effects? i.e. any kind of Terminal print out.
We've tried resetting prefs, trashing caches etc.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
We have received reports from several users about this problem on Mac OS X 10.10, but we haven't yet understood the cause. We are unable to reproduce the problem and need more information from users about the conditions that lead to the problem occurring.
It would be helpful to us if you could provide the following information:
- a system report for your computer
- an After Effects log file from when the problem occurs
- a sample of the After Effects process log from when the problem occurs
To gather this data, do the following:
1. In After Effects, choose Help > Enable Logging. This will require you to restart After Effects.
2. Open the Mac OS Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor).
3. Launch After Effects and work until the import problem occurs.
4. When the problem occurs, STOP and do the following:
- In After Effects, choose Help > Reveal Logging file.
- In Activity Monitor, select Adobe After Effects CC 2014.2 (13.2), then click Sample Process. Save this file.
5. To generate a system report, go to the Apple menu > About This Mac, click the System Report Button. Save this file.
6. Send me these three files (After Effects Log.txt, the process sample, and the system report). Email them to this address, [email protected] Do not use a zip file, as those are blocked by our email filters.
Thanks much.

Why does safari web browser become unresponsive?

Every once in a while the main part of the safari web browser on my iPad 2 becomes unresponsive. I can type into the address or google search area and the results will show in the window but the content seems static. Links are inactive and cannot scroll or expand/contract the page size. Any ideas on why this happens? My only solution thus far is to completely shut down the iPad and restart.

There are a myriad of reasons this can happen, including problems with content on the website you are viewing. If it seems to occur on the same sites check the site with your computer and see if it is possibly trying to download a Java applet or something similar. If there is no pattern to the websites visited you might want to Restore your iPad and see if it helps.
