OS X :: G4 Freezing About 15 Seconds After Each Restart
Sep 30, 2009I just brought my computer from work to my home and now it's freezing. The G4 running osx 10.4.. freezes about 15 seconds after each restart. The screen is still active but mouse/keyboard is frozen. If it is kept on after a few minutes the computer starts to get very loud, with all the fans working overtime.
I've tried opening it and making sure everything is seated and plugged in well.
Tried different mouse and keyboard.
Tried running disk permissions.
Tried starting to run scripts but can't get to then before the comp freezes.
Tried safe mode but it still freezes too.
Any ideas or do i need to go back to the office and get the restore disk and start over reinstalling anything?
MacBook Pro :: Freezing Frequently For About 30-45 Seconds At A Time?
Apr 15, 2012My Macbook Pro has been freezing frequently for about 30-45 seconds at a time. The screen will freeze, sound will stop, but the color wheel will spin and i can move it around with the trackpad. I don't know what is causing this/any possible fixes to my problem. I purchased the macbook pro in mid 2009 and it has OS X lion 10.7.3 installed on it.

MacBook Pro :: Freezing About 20 Seconds After Airport Turns On
Aug 31, 2014I am on the latest version of Mavericks, with all updates installed. My 2009 MacBook Pro freezes a little bit after airport turns on. This would appear to also carry over to when the computer is starting up because when I am able to turn and keep airport off the computer never freezes during startup. Less than 3 moths ago I had Bly airport card replaced so I doubt that the problem is with the hardware.
Except for this one issue, my computer is running perfectly fine. The problem has persisted with a clean reinstall of OS Mavericks. It'd be happy to rely on an Ethernet cable, but that won't be possible in the near future, at least not without lots of wires running across the floor.

Sep 7, 2014there seems to be an issue with my mid-2010 MacBook Pro, running OS X Maverick 10.9.4. When in console, precisely every 5 seconds, this same message pops up:
07/09/2014 18:34:00.000 kernel[0]: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR F1Mn kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff801febf000
I did have a look at Launch Agents and Daemons folders to see if any file name related to that message, but I'm not sure.
OS X Mavericks :: Shutdown Slowed Down From Few Seconds To Over A Minute
Jun 27, 2014Shutdown used to be a few seconds on my MBP Mid 2009 but some time a go (I haven't associated it with any upgrade or software install) it became rather slow (60-90 seconds). I tried a few solutions but haven't made any progress. The problem I see is that all log messages appear in first 10 sec of shutdown and then it's quiet time. Screen first goes gray for about 20 sec, then spinning wheel appears for another 40 seconds after which restart happened.
The only HW changes I did to the MBP are upgrade to 8 GB of RAM (long time ago) and replaced HDD with Samsung 840 EVO SSD (half a year ago).

OS X Mavericks :: Safari Opens To Unknown Website?
Jun 21, 2014When I turn on the computer, Safari automatically opens to [URL].... I know nothing about this site. I have, previously, set my Safari/Preferences to open to a different site. That used to work.
WORSE ... sometimes when turning on the computer, the screen gets stuck on the big wave open background. Only the very top toolbar for Finder opens. But Desktop icons do not appear. And the mouse is inoperable. I have to manually turn off the computer, turn it back on ... and then, sometimes (not sure how consistent this is), it automatically opens to Safari on that Trusteer website (that I have never, to my knowledge, accessed).
I took this problem once before to this community. Was given instructions to do a Safe Boot, which I did. It was not supposed to fix the problem. But after I did it, the problem seemed to go away... for a while. It's back now.
I also did a Disk Utility Repair of the HD.
I have not clicked on anything in that Trusteer page because I don't trust it. It looks legitimate. Is it?
This problem, by, the way, only began after I upgraded to Mavericks. I don't recall how long it was before the problem started after upgrading. Probably a couple of weeks.

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Wireless Internet Connects For A Few Seconds Then Disconnects For A Few Seconds?
Jun 29, 2012I am using a Mac Mini with a Realtek USB wireless dongle to connect to the internet. The software and drivers appear connected perfectly and i see the wireless utility and I can access my wireless network, which says signal strength 100%. I connect to it and it accepts the wireless key. Says connected. Then after a few seconds the connection is lost and it says 'Disconnected'. A few seconds later it connects then disconnects and this continues indefinitely but Safari never allows me to access any webpages.

OS X Mavericks :: IMac Freezing Up Randomly
Jun 2, 2014Why my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) has suddenly began randomly freezing up?All working great since I got it but recently I am having a consistent problem with it ceasing up. As a result I took action and restored it to factory defaults over the weekend thinking this would resolve the problem but unforuantely after 2 days without issue the problem has re-surfaced.

OS X Mavericks :: All Applications Are Freezing On Print
Sep 8, 2014I get as far as File -> Print and get nothing but the spinning ball. This is happening in Pages, Numbers, and Mail -- the only three programs I've tried to print out of this morning. This is happening on just one computer. I can print the same files to the same printers from a different computer, so that should rule out file and printer problems.
I was able to print without problems over the weekend. I updated software on this computer last night, but I think it was only updates to programs like Pages, Numbers, and Safari, not operating system updates. I know Mail did not have an update. I did not have to reboot after updating. In addition, I've been having problems with Time Machine being stuck in Preparing status. I'm just reporting that in case it happens to be related, though I don't see how it would be. Because of the Time Machine problems, I shut down the machine last night after the updates, unplugged the Time Machine, plugged the Time Machine back in after waiting 10-15 seconds, and turned the computer back on.

OS X Mavericks :: MacBook Pro Freezing While Browsing Internet?
Jun 30, 2014Almost daily, I will be in the middle of browsing the internet and pages will just stop loading. Following this, any already-opened application I click on will freeze, including Finder. If I try to open any new applications, the icon will bounce over and over in the Dock but never open. If I close my web browser and try to reopen it, it tells me that there is already a copy of the browser running and I cannot open another one. The only way to remedy this I have found is to hold down the power button and shut off the computer. Once I turn the computer back on, everything runs normally. I originally though it may have been my web browser (Google Chrome) so I recently switched to Firefox, and the problem still persists. It is extremely annoying.

OS X Mavericks :: IMac Freezing After Every 2-4 Days (randomly)
Jun 29, 2014I recently bought a 2014 iMac (21.5) inch 16GB machine. I'm going batty with it randomly freezing (beach ball) once every 2-4 days for no apparent reason. I've even looked at console logs and can't figure out. I've resetted SMC/PV(whatever), even reinstalled Mavericks (using a clean bootable drive). We use the iMac for two main purposes: Plex Media streaming (once a day really) and we use Juniper VPN to connect to our corporate network (which explains why you see juniper there)

OS X Mavericks :: File Freezing Entire System
Sep 9, 2014Yesterday I was using a program that was creating a disk image file on my second hard disk. The application froze and crashed, leaving a tiny img file. Whenever I try to delete this file (through finder, or command line) or the machine tries to index/backup the file etc the whole computer freezes and I have to do a hard shutdown.
I have tried repairing the disk but disk utility says there is nothing wrong. I also tried mounting it on another machine via firewire, the exact same thing happened, the second machine froze up when I tried to delete the file.

OS X Mavericks :: ITunes Freezing Up A Lot / Can't Add Files / Play Media
Sep 11, 2014iTunes freezing up a lot, can't add files/play media.Try to update to latest version, then App Store opens very slowly and just stays at blank gray screen. Both require force quit. I have read instructions by Linc in other discussions, and I have already tried the following:
-Logged in as Guest: Seems to work great.
-Logged in my profile in Safe Boot: Still have issues.
BTW, if I update iTunes under the "GUEST" login, will that update also show under my own profile?

OS X :: Rejects DVD After About 15 Seconds?
Nov 19, 2010I have an iMac5,1 operating OSX 10.4.11. Recently, the reader has started to reject all DVDs after a few seconds. Reading about similar problems, I bought a laser lens cleaner. The problem still remains - the cleaner disc is rejected after a few seconds.
The instructions with the disc are designed for tray input rather than slot input. How can I play the disc from OSX commands? I have tried DVD player but pressing the play button it informs me it does not recognise the disc.
Where can I go from here?
PowerPC :: G4 That Goes To Sleep Every 10 Seconds
Jan 25, 2007My roomate as a powerbook g4 1.5ghz, it had been running 10.4.8. The computer will go into sleep mode randomly about every 10-15 seconds. Doesn't matter what program he's using. If he leaves the comp off for a few hours, it wont do it for a while and he can use it. Only thing we've found online is that people had that problem when they had faulty trackpads/trackpad sensors. But we don't think that is the issue we weren't getting an error message as they were in the console when it would occur. We called a local mac shop and they said it'd be 100 bucks to diagnose the problem, and probably it sounded like he would need a new logic board for another 700 + Labour.
A friend at school had the Apple Service Diagnostics 2.5.8 boot disk. He told us to give it a shot rather than paying the 100 bucks to get it "checked out" as it would most likely tell us what, if anything was wrong. We ran it, all hardware and software tests passed w/o any errors. We even tried doing a full format and reinstall of OS X 10.4.1, it got through the install procedure, and it seemed to be working ok for about 30 minutes, then suddenly the problem started again! So I that makes me think its not software related. So far two software "tests" and one full ASD hardware test got us nowhere. He's tried a lot of stuff he found online, but nothing has worked. Such as resetting all the various rams and sensors and PMU.

May 6, 2009All right, so the problem started when I installed Growl for Mail.app.
I installed it, launched Mail, got a beach ball hurling towards me, then it quit.
That is the main reason I think it has something to do with Growl.
So I guess my question is, what should I do? Right now the only thing I know to do is "uninstall" it. By the way, does anyone know the files to delete if I want to "uninstall" it?
