Yesterday I installed "Mavericks" on my two identical machines (office and home, iMac i5 27'' late 2009) and now the cursor freezes for a few seconds after quitting an application on one machine and the the track pad stucks with safari - unsatisfying!

Even the back and forward buttons do not work than. Allover the complete installation process went different on both machines. One started the installation twice immediately after completion. I dont know what's wrong, I never have had such a trouble with Mac OS. I can't help myselfe an I am highly disappointed about Apple!
Markus

After a few Google searches and a few downcasted days, I had to realize that I have to apologize to Apple, it was seemingly not alone their fault.
All trouble makers to Mavericks are accumulated in my environment:
External WD hard drives get in conflict with the nem Mavericks OS X, as well as drivers software from Logitech (LCC), which all is in use with my system.
Delete the WD software of external hard discs and uninstall (use uninstaller) the Logitech control center (LCC) and all is fine again.
Have fun with Mavericks, a just started to love it....

    When I open itunes it freezes for a few seconds then says iTunes stopped working and closes down. I have tried downloading the latest version, both repair and remove and it still keeps happening

    Tried the un-install and getting the same problem although it takes a bit longer before it crashes this time. Checked the problem report and it looks the same as the previous reports.

  • Long click to select an alternate tool, the flyout freezes for a few seconds

    When I long click to select an alternate tool, the flyout freezes for a few seconds before I can select a tool. How can I fix this? My only work around right now is to know the tool shortcut and then to cycle through it with shift+tool shortcut.
    Thanks,
    Zack

    So I don't know what happened. This has been the case ever since I can remember, but today I got a wacom tablet and now the tablet and the mouse can use the sidebar as normal. All I can assume is that the drivers for the tablet fixed some preference list file error...

  • HT2486 the photos that I add to address book will only be there for a few seconds after I close the edit button. Either they go away completely or they a very small portion of the actual photo

    the photos that I add to address book will only be there for a few seconds after I close the edit button. Either they go away completely or they are very small portion of the actual photo

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

  • IPod freezes for a few seconds but the sound continues playing

    Hello!
    I recently transfered a large MP4 onto my iPod, and I found that the playback on the iPod occasionally freezes for a few seconds, and then continues playing, but the sound continues throughout. The same video plays OK on iTunes without any freezing. Could somebody help me please?
    Yours faithfully,
    Norman Tang

    i had the same problem on my 1.1 firmware but when i updated it,there was nothing like this.

    Thanks for you post, I was under the impression that one of the new macbook pro's comes with 16GB RAM out of the box.
    I'll try your solution although I feel like is rather utilise the RAM I've paid for.
    http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/10462096123 Suggested that it's possibly the new memory compression causing the issues. This seems to fit, because I'm a game developer I tend to have quite a lot of memory intensive applications running.
    Will report back if I find a solution, if there are any more suggestions I'm all ears.

  • When workign with video, logic freezes for a few seconds then playbacks

    Dear all,
    When i am working with video in logic 9.1, the playback freezes for a few seconds and then plays smoothly. This is irritating as when u score for movies, u cant sync the sounds. I tried converting the mov file into various formats, but still no luck. Strangely, the demos given with logic(the ones with videos) plays smoothly without the freezing.. pls help ...
    thanks
    Message was edited by: Rishikesh hari

    Ken,
    Yes , you were right. i researched on video formats and found, logic will only support uncompressed video formats. Like u said, i opened quicktime and exported my movie to DV coding. It works fine.. I also found out that, to have less CPU load, convert you video to "photo jpeg" coding.. Its smoother !!!1
    Cheers

  • Why do you tube videos take so long to load and once they do they will only play for a few seconds before quitting ?

    after a you tube video finally loads it will play for a few seconds then quit. after a few minutes it will resume play for a few seconds then quit and resumes the process

    download it, then play offline

  • TS3276 I use Mail for my email and lately, if I get an email coming in while writing one, the program freezes for a few seconds. Frustrating.

    I have a 27" iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I use Mail for my email. Just in the past 2 -3 months, if I'm writing an email while another one is coming in to the inbox, the program freezes, the spinning colour ball appears and I can't continue typing for 5 seconds or more. I get and write a lot of emails so it's frustrating.
    I've also noticed that sending messages is taking longer than it used to. The program spins its wheels for a few seconds before sending. Definitely noticeably longer than prior to this situation. Any ideas anyone?

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!
    Elaine

  • Macbook Pro is freezing for a few seconds, every 3-6 minutes and the CPU is low during the freezes. (Etrecheck report included)

    I've been trying to fix this for a few days now. I think it started the day after I hooked it up to mirror video to my TV, which I've done before with no issues. I've tried a few of the popular fixes like resetting the smc and pram, and I kind of feel like a tech genius right now for saying that, even though I don't really know what those things are
    I also saw where people asking for help were asked to download a program and paste it's results, so I've done that. Here is the etrecheck report:

    I've already gotten rid of a few third party apps, but maybe I should get rid of more? Anyway, I'm very frustrated and any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    The problem with garbage software is that their uninstallation programs tend to be garbage as well. In the case of CleanMyMac, it is ineffective and leaves components behind. I verified that myself a few months ago and was curious if they had corrected it by now, but as of five days ago (my last test of it and similar junkware) it had not been addressed.
    Only MacPaw, its developer, can know the reason its installer doesn't work, but I can think of two possibilities: either they are purposefully leaving those components behind for reasons known only to them, or they simply don't know what they're doing. Neither one of those possibilities is particularly comforting for the user.
    Using CleanMyMac to remove what it considers "junk" will corrupt a system. I know of no way to recover from the effects of having used CleanMyMac than to completely erase the volume on which it was used, reinstall OS X and essential software from their original sources, and restore your essential work files and other documents from a backup that has not been corrupted by CleanMyMac or anything else.
    This claim in particular is an outrageous one that cannot be justified under any circumstances:
    The above screenshot was recorded on a brand new, previously erased Mavericks installation containing only one minimally configured User account. Just 500 MB can be removed "for free". Therefore there is no Mavericks - running Mac in existence that can be totally "cleaned" of what it considers "useless junk" without paying them for the privilege. Even if localization files (most of what it considers "useless") were to be removed, those files have exactly zero effect on a Mac's performance. On the other hand the lack of them will have effects only their respective developers can know.
    MacKeeper on the other hand offers an effective uninstaller, but if you cannot find its app you may need to install MacKeeper again for the sole purpose of uninstalling it.
    Once installed, follow these instructions:
    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
    If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
    Uninstall Trusteer Rapport as well. Follow its instructions, which I believe are effective. Resorting to so - called "cleaners" and "zappers" is a bad idea that will only exacerbate your problems. At present, that Mac is a complete mess that cannot possibly operate as Apple designed it to operate.

  • My MacBook Pro keeps freezing for a few seconds (sometimes with the beach ball)... HELP

    My computer would not boot up past the grey screen a few days ago so I brought it into the Genius Bar and they fixed it. It finally turns on but I find it's constatly freezing for about 2-10 seconds every once in a while. Whether it's in Safari, Outlook, iTunes, VLC, etc. everything stops and sometimes I get the beachball. I tried disk repair and permissions repair, so I'm not sure what to do next!

    try doing a SMC RESET if you've tried repair permissions...

  • Video freezes for a few seconds infrequently from NAS on Mavericks

    Since Mavericks was installed on MacMini [Late 2012 with 8GB RAM] playback of Video from a D-Link DNS-320L NAS via any means but usually XMBC, over a typical film it will freeze playback maybe half a dozen times at random intervals for maybe 2 - 10 seconds.
    I have tried the well documented fixes recently described for connecting to NAS using
    cifs://192.168.1.5
    and also through pasting into terminal:
    echo "[default]" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf; echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
    but neither has resolved the issue.
    It doesn't matter if connection is WiFi or ethernet, problem still happens so don't think its transmission problems.
    Even if I just play through Quick Time or other media players it still happens so I don't think its XBMC. File types vary mp4, m4v, avi, but this seems irrelevant as all suffer. Anyway, it all worked before Mavericks.
    I have an ATV2 which is working fine on same WiFi network using same content and XBMC, so I don't think its the router (AppleExtreme) or the NAS.
    I think problem is MacMini/Mavericks. But the SMB workaround doesn't work so I'm stumped.
    Anyone had similar problem and fixed it? Any pointers as to what else to check out. Would hate to have to format and install Mountain Lion but looking like only option...

    Hello,
    I've read a few such complaints with video, most attribute it to memory compression in 10.9.x, but don't think I've seen a fix other than one person mentioning...

    That sounds like the problem I had with Mountain Lion's SMB (XBMC Eden would eventually lock up and crash).  Mavericks just gives a "broken pipe" error with its SMB instead.  Installing SBMUp solved the problem (I had to check all my file permissions, though.

    Did you lose your shared folders with the update of Mac OS X from Snow Leopard to Lion? You can’t see your shared folders from your DVR or Medicaneter boxes hooked up to your TV? The internet tells you to install gigabytes of developer tools and use tons of command-line instructions to regain the ability to see your mac from your other devices in the house after moving to Lion? We might be able to help.

  • When opening a new tab, Firefox often freezes for a few seconds until the page has loaded completely.

    When I open a new tab, the tab must load completely before Firefox will respond at all. I cannot do anything in Firefox; Windows and the rest of my programs that are running are unaffected. This happens randomly, but it is more common on certain websites. How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

    Please check for the problem in [[safe mode|safe mode]].. does it work there?

  • Adobe reader hanging for a few seconds after opening, what's the cause?

    Hello, I have the following problem: I open a pdf file in Adobe Reader and initially it woks fine, I can navigate and so on, but after about 20 s it suddenly gets like frozen so that I can do nothing but wait until when after about 15 s it recovers and I can continue reading and moving around. It is just an annoyance since it happens every time I open a document. I have installed several actualizations (icluding the last one) of the program but the problem is still there. It is like if some conflictive process starts shortly after the openning and after it finnishes the program works fine again. I have looked in the tasks administrator to see if I find some parallel process that may start itself but as far as I can see nothing more starts after AcroRd32.exe.
    Some idea?
    Thank you in advance

    If you have a packet sniffing tool like Fiddler or Wireshark, could just see if Reader is trying to access something on network?
