Yosemite freezes after about 30 Seconds inactivity

Dear Apple Community,
I really love the new Yosemite look and features, but there is one really annoying thing, that I can not seem to solve.
Yosemite becomes irresponsive after about 30-60 Seconds inactivity. I can still move the mouse, but no keys, clicking or hovering works. This state lasts for about 10 seconds after clicking or typing, and then it returns to normal. When I press buttons "CMD-Option-Escape" the freeze ends a little faster. This is driving me crazy, since reading for example a website for 30 seconds always leads to the freeze, working efficiently is not possible like this.
My Macbook Model:
• MacBook Pro (Retina, Mitte 2012)
• 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
• 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Does anyone experience the same issue? Has anyone any suggestions what could cause the problem? I  thought maybe there is some kind of energy-saving process going on?
Thanks,
Paul

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 installed on?
Before export, how does the Timeline play back in the Edit area monitor (video and audio)?
What is your export - mp4, .mov, wmv, flv, .avi etc....? Have you tried other players, like the VLC player?
But, let us start at the beginning....
What are the properties of your source media? What is the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the source?
How are you getting that source into the Premiere Elements project and what are you or the program setting as the project preset. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if they look grayed out).
The project preset description should match the properties of your source.
Now for the export...what are you selecting under Publish+Share/assumed Computer/. And what are you setting as the preset for your choice? Are you using the default settings for the preset or are you customizing them under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
Please supply more details. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

  • My imac 17' core duo 1.8ghz a1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running

    My imac 17" core duo 1.8ghz A1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running. I re-start the imac about a half a dozen times and it stays running and will re-start from the sleep mode and will continue to operate properly until I put it in sleep mode or it goes to sleep mode. If I turn it off, I must go through the same hassle. Advise/suggestions. Thanks.

  • ITunes freezes after 30 seconds

    No matter what I do on my computer, my iTunes automatically freezes after 30 seconds of opening. How can I fix this? Because I can't even buy music or sync my iPod.

    Hi if not now,
    In order to see your device in iTunes you may just need to select the option to have the Sidebar shown, something that by default is not displayed. This is where Devices and other items are displayed that you may be trying to locate.
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features

  • When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Using my ipod nano -when listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel [SOLVED]

    As the title says: Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel (2.6.27). I can only move a mouse, but everything else is frozen. Even restarting X doesn't do a trick. It doesn't work at all. Frozen.
    I don't get any kind of error message (oh really?), so what's the problem..?

    Yeah... I'm using nvidia... So the problem is nvidia drivers, not the Linux kernel?
    Edit: My card is nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra. I can't get driver information now, because I'm using WinXP right now. I'll check it later.
    Did you make a new install or just updated?
    You can try to reinstall old kernel with:
    pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel(version you want).pkg.tar.gz
    if you made a new install you may have to install the xorg keyboard driver and so.
    By the way, there are a few diferent packages for nvidia drivers. Check wich is yours.
    Also check /var/log/ folder for errors.
    Updated kernel.
    And as I said, I'll check the driver later.

  • Mac keep freezing after every second.

    Hello everyone  this problem started happening yesterday.  Every time when I type a few seconds it freezes.  I have applications like Abelton live and using other game applications and they are freezing after every second i move the mouse or something.  Cant tell if this a hard drive related or the software any help thanks

    Remove "Kaspersky Security," if it's installed, by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different. The product includes a Safari extension that may not be removed by the uninstaller.

  • IChat 4.0 on leopard freezes after about 5 seconds

    I have a 24'' iMac and my wife has a 13'' macbook. We both have the most updated version of leopard on our computers. The problem is that whenever we try to do a video chat with each other, my video freezes up after about 5 seconds, and hers keeps going. We both have set our bandwidth limit to none in ichat and the streaming speed in System prefs> Quicktime to 1.5 Mbps. Anyone know what else could cause this? Thanks

    A "Crash" of an application is a Specific thing where you get an Error message saying it "Unexpectantly Quit" and a Log in the relevant Crash Error logs in Console. The marker underneath the app in the DOCK would also disappear.
    An App that Freezes or part of the display of it Freezes would not normally be considered as to have Crashed.
    Having said that I have had a repeatable issue where a Tester with me could definitely Crash my iChat. Sure enough each time he tried to call my iChat Unexpectantly Quit.
    It turned out it was a faulty router at his end.
    The Video freezing is normally a Bandwidth Issue (the 363k is fast enough tht this should not happen based on those speeds or the ones you tested)
    It can be down to how busy the Processor is with on-line Widgets like Weather and Clock and others. or Background apps and Utilities
    The way to see those is to open the Activity Monitor.

  • Photoshop CS5.5 freezes after 10 seconds of use every time

    Hey everyone,
    So weve been going nuts over this! Essentially I work for a big company, and we all have company laptops that we use to work on, which all have essentially the same programs installed on them. I have a Dell Latitude E6530, its running Windows 7, has a Corei7 vPro inside. Im running Adobe Production Premium CS5.5, and all the programs work perfectly fine (like I use Flash and Illustrator as well with no issues.) except for Photoshop.
    When I boot up Photoshop (either version, 32 or 64), Ill be able to use it for about 10 seconds and then it will freeze. It will stay frozen until I actually go in and Task Manager the program off. It does not crash. This literally works with anything I do in Photoshop, I could literally have nothing open and go to the Preferences menu, and it will freeze there. I have tried looking up this problem online and I havent seen it as specified as this, I have seen it where people do something specific, like go to save, and it freezes AND crashes. Mine just freezes after ANYTHING I do after 10 seconds of use.
    More about my set up. I have 3 monitors linked to my laptop. I initially thought maybe cutting it down to 2 or 1 might help, because it seemed to yesterday for a moment, but today I tried it and I had the same issue. I also have Symantic Encryption on my laptop, but so does everyone else and they can all run Photoshop completely fine. Weve updated the drivers and updated Photoshop and everything to the latest versions.
    Does anyone know if Im just doing something very simple wrong that Im overlooking? I have seriously never had an issue this bad with Photoshop before. Let me know if you need any other information. Thanks for your help!

    Yes, basically we have all the default fonts installed on our computers, but we use a program called Universal Type Client to get the fonts we need, and UTC grabs fonts from a server and temporarily makes them usable on our computer. But everyone has this software so I dont think that would have anything to do with it.
    Could it possibly have something to do with my Video Drivers or Graphic Cards? Our tech guy mentioned it was strange that my computer had two different things (I believe he said I have a CORE i7 vPro and Nvidia NVS 5200M or something and that they may be competing?) or the amount of monitors Im using?

  • Flash-Based BBC h264 Videos Freeze After 8 Seconds

    Hello,
    I like to view BBC news videos since March on my new Desktop Windows 7 64 bit Pro system.  For about 2 weeks now, I've been having trouble viewing about half of these videos.  Half play all the way through fine and the other half freeze after 8-10 seconds.  I have a CAT 5e 7 mbit cable modem connection so speed is not an issue.  My Wi-Fi connected Windows 7 Home Premium laptop uses the same router and can play the same videos with no problems.
    On my Desktop, this freezing happens on both FireFox 12 and Internet Explorer 9.  I did all the usual things to try to fix the problem.  I cleared the caches on both FF12 and IE9.  Yesterday, I uninstalled both the Adobe Flash FF12 plug-in and IE9 Active-X versions and reinstalled with the latest version, 11,3,300,262.  Today, I upgraded to the latest version, 11,3,300,265.  Nothing has solved the problem.
    Here are the specs for the BBC Flash-based player:

    The only difference I noticed was the initial screen size of the video.  On the problem videos, the size is bigger than the OK one.  I assume the BBC videos are h264 encoded.  On both my Desktop and my laptop, I have 2 msmpeg2vdec.dll files.  1 in C:\Windows\System32 and another in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.  They are both v6.1.7140.0.  On both my Desktop and laptop, the sizes are different, 2.52 MB & 2.03 MB.
    I am using the latest nVidia driver v301.42 which I installed 5/30/2012, over a month ago.  The only recent change which happened to my system on 7/4/2012 was my Norton Internet Security 2012 subscription expired.  NIS2012 then disabled itself and activated the built-in Windows firewall.  3 days ago I uninstalled NIS2012.  I also used the Norton Removal Tool.  I then installed a new NIS2012 with a new legitimate key.  However, I am still getting this freezing and I don't remember if I got this freezing before 7/4/2012.
    On both FF12 and IE9, I can play Hulu, YouTube, Yahoo!, and Amazon videos with no problems.  When you right-click on any of these other flash players, nowhere does it say "h264."
    My questions are:
    1)  does the Adobe Flash Player, for both the FF12 plug-in and IE9 ax players, use the Windows7 CODEC?
    2)  Which file is the h264 CODEC, is it msmpeg2vdec.dll or something else?
    3)  Will installing a new CODEC pack fix this problem?
    4)  Is there anything else I have overlooked?  Is there anything else I can do to fix this problem?
    Thanks.

    Interestingly, the advertisement plays correctly.  When you right-click on the ad, it does not say h264.  I have 2 video cards and several monitors on my Desktop.  It might have something to do with that.  Otherwise, perhaps one of my other apps did something to the Flash Player h264 playback.
    I'm thinking maybe if I upgraded the h264 CODEC, maybe it will play correctly again.  CODEC GUIDE has a codec package which I already downloaded but haven't installed yet.  I downloaded the "Basic."  Unless you really need to, I don't recommend anyone install it.  If you want to install a CODEC package, just install the "Basic" package and not one of the bigger packages.  I think they make changes to your system.  Before installing it, be sure to make a full backup of your Windows system.

  • PB 15" 1.33 freezes after about an hour

    Here's some brief history:
    Just got my PB back from the shop today, after sending it in for a new logic board (VRAM error - posted about this one last week).
    Set it up, everything worked fine -- for about an hour or so, then a complete freeze. I even had Internet radio streaming that sounded like a scratched CD or a broken record. About a minute or so after the freeze, I then got a loud fan-like noise that sounded like it was coming from the back left corner of my keyboard.
    Did a hard shut-down (held down power button), waited about 2 minutes, then rebooted. Started up OK, ran well, then repeated problem about 12 minutes later. Wash, rinse, repeat: shut down, wait 2 mins, reboot, and this time it froze after about 4 minutes.
    My suspicion is a problem in reassembly, possibly the techs did not properly apply the heat paste, and now the CPU is overheating and locking up.
    I'm going to take it back to the shop tomorrow, but wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions for things I can check.
    Thanks!

    Okay, the temps seem to be running normally - indeed, the fan kicked on (a bit noisily, with a buzzing that was not there before sending it in to the shop), at around 142-145 F.
    This time, my PB operated just fine for several hours, no problems. Processor temp never got above 147 F. So perhaps it is not the CPU overheating.
    There are a few differences in how I had the PB running this time, however:
    - When it froze up yesterday, I had an additional monitor plugged in (I work best with two screens for all my apps and documents), as well as an external hard drive connected via firewire (that sits idle most of the time except for scheduled backups).
    - Last night (and today, as I write this, in fact), I am running the PB without any externals - no extra monitor, no external HD.
    I ran a hardware check (AHT) and it showed no hardware problems.
    I tried running some graphics-intense games while also having several processor-hogging applications, to see what would happen to the core temps, but again never got above 147F and no shutdown problems.
    So my noob-sleuth techniques lead me to believe it has something to do with the extra video connection. I am going to try connecting the second monitor later today (currently using it with my standby PowerPC), and I'll report back with any new developments.
    In the meantime, I'd love to hear any suggestions or ideas that come up from what new info (if any) I was able to provide.
    And thanks for the help so far - at least I feel like I'm making some kind of progress!

  • Flash video freezes after 4 seconds in Firefox every single time

    Everytime I play a flash video on firefox it freezes for about 2 seconds after 4 seconds, this may sound like a minor irk but it becomes very annoying. I've tried re-installing multiple times and I'm on the latest version but nothing seems to work. Also tried turning off protected mode and disabling hardware accelaration- still no dice. It's smooth and fine after 4 seconds but it always freezes, I have no idea why- I've also had multiple issues with flash on Chrome which is which I switched browser. It appears it doesn't work on either on of them properly. Windows 8.1 if that helps.
    Thanks in advance

  • Video chat freezes after 30 seconds

    My friend and I are trying to set up her video chat. She has a brand new MacBook running Leopard. I have a macbook running Tiger. I can videochat successfully with other buddies running both Tiger and leopard.
    We can set up a connection and see and talk to each other but after about 30 seconds our connection freezes.
    We have tried changing the port to 443. We have tried deleting her com.apple.ichat.aim.plist. We have tried to change the settings in quicktime to streaming 1.5 mbps.
    I think the problem may be with her router or cable modem. Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

  • My Quicktime 7.0.4 is freeze after 3 seconds of playing...

    When I get quicktime version 6, quicktime was running in excellent conditions. After download the new version 7 after 3 seconds of playing quicktime the software get freeze. I cant use quicktime for anything. Please if somebody knows what i need to do i will appreciate.

    Thanks, Halfnote!
    I spent all day trying to get 7.0.4 to play the audio on a little movie I made of my granddaughter. Tried everything I could think of...uninstalling, reinstalling, trying all the various audio combinations, etc, etc. Finally, went to this forum and searched for help...and happy to say I found it. The 7.0.3 re-install solved my problem nicely. Now I have audio!
    I would suggest one caution when uninstalling QuickTime...I have found the uninstall program leaves a lot of QT files behind, which may or may not cause a problem. So, I use CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com) to make sure all traces of the program are gone before re-installing the older version.
