Freezing of the iMac

• freezing of the iMac. hard drive failure?

  My iMac has been freezing a few days ago. At first I thought it might be a Trojan horse, but I could not detect any. I update my OS to El Capitan, hoping he could solve the problem, but the problem persisted.

  I checked the console and I saw this message continues to flow upward

  kernel [0]: disk0s2: i/o error.

  I heard that this indicates a drive failure. I ran first aid through disk utility, then a test of material using the Apple disc, but nothing was detected.

  I hope that it is would be a software issue and not a disk failure. Someone has an idea how to be course and finally fix it?

  My specs:

  iMac (21.5 inch, mid 2011)

  2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor

  12 GB DDR3 memory at 1333 MHz

  AMD Radeon HD 6770 M 512 MB graphics card

  Storage: 164,48 GB free of 829 GB

  I should mention that I run windows via bootcamp on the same drive. I haven't experienced the issue on windows, so is it possible that it is not a hardware problem?

• I have an IMAc running on the latest version of El Capitan. MY blutooth followed pad has a mind of its own - opening windows and text highlighting / deletion.  In addition to this my screen keeps freezing and the spinning ball will appear.

  I have an IMac running on El Capitan 10.11.6. My bluetooth followed pad has a mind of its own - opening windows and text highlighting / deletion.  In addition to this my screen keeps freezing and the spinning ball will appear - I have to hold down the back of the screen to force it to close.  This message of the 2 line took almost an hour to type as I have no control on the touchpad.

  Hello Kluggerjo,

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

  I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

  If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

  If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.

• My iMac keeps freezing since the upgrade to El Capitan!

  Hello

  Can anyone help.

  I upgraded a few months ago in El Capitan and since then sometimes had problems with my desktop freezing, an irritation but not too much trouble.

  However, in the last two weeks, he becomes a nightmare!

  Most of the time its does not happen when I put the cpmupter "sleep" and then when I try and wake him up, she is just completely frozen, & I cannot do anything and end up having to put the broad & market with the switch at the back of the computer. Sometimes, it just freezes in the middle to help and is not even specific to the use of any particular program.

  Can anyone help or make suggestions, what could be the problem or how I can try and identify the problem. I'm not technical, so really don't know where to start.

  Currently running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 Version

  iMac (21.5 inch, late 2009)

  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor

  Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB graphics card

  Thank you very much.

• LR office freezes the iMac

  I have an iMac 27 "mid-2010 with OS X EL Capitan 10.11.6, 12 GB of RAM and LR 6.6.1 for mac in desktop version.

  This is the second time I open a thread for the same question.

  The problem I have is that you use LR freezes the iMac, the screen goes black, and the only way is to stop the mac of the power button and then restart it.

  This happens every time I use LR, often just a few seconds after it starts and I start to work.

  It seems to be independent from the actions that I do. It just freezes and there is no way to recover. I have to turn off the mac.

  In recent months, the problem started when I installed LR (6.5.1).

  In this case, with the help of the friends of the forum, I did a lot of testing to solve. Off the GPU, reinstalled LR from scratch without any result

  After several trials, I thought (for a week) that the problem was with firefox, because when I used LR, firefox always started and in two or three cases in which LR worked properly firefox did not work.

  Do more test I realized that this was wrong. LR freezes the iMac, even if is the only application running.

  LR after two or three times in that worked well was restarted to freeze the mac whenever I tried to use it.

  This occurs in the same way today with the new version of LR and the new version of the OS.

  The problem is generated by LR and not the mac that has never crashed or freezes without LR.

  I am very angry and annoyed by this behavior.

  I bought an app that worked correctly at least 10 times.

  Can someone help me solve the problem?

  Best regards

  Vincenzo Corrado

  I launched the AHT (Apple Hardware Test) which has detected a failure of the RAM. Now, I have to isolate which module of memory is affected by the problem. After that, I'll try to run LR.

  I you will know if the problem is completely resolved.

  Thank you.

  Best regards

• Photoshop freeze on the homepage and crashing on iMac

  Hello everyone, we had a few days after an update to CC ch on one of our machines, a very frustrating nine iMac.  The question, as stated in my topic, is that PS freezes on the start page & get hung up on the color wheel/beach ball and when it does not, load now, it takes about 30 minutes to load and now has started crashing - close without warning.  Needless to say, it's very disruptive to our productivity and we are at the end of our rope on the way to solve this problem.

  CH & CC have all both been uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

  The operating system has been updated.

  There are no plugins used.

  Seriously, what must we do to make this work?  We had zero problems until the PS updated - it worked very well.  Now, however, it is another story.

  For those interested, following an another complete uninstall/reinstall of the CC, this has been resolved.

  What a nightmare.

• kernel [0]: disk0s2: i/o error and AHT freeze on 27 "iMac

  Hi all

  According to the title, I have serious problems with my iMac 27 "with El Capitan.

  It started all of a sudden with wheel rotation in a way that I am still unable to reproduce.

  I have not installed anything again for weeks. Enough I traveled a lot for business, so my iMac has been mostly off.

  The logs show a recurring kernel [0]: disk0s2: i/o error.

  Initially, I tried a repair disk that consistently failed, so I tried AHT, once to short and long.

  They both finished in a gel semi then very close to completion.

  I'm talking about gel semi as mouse reacted but with seconds behind and jerks and stop button has not actually no result so he needed a hard stop.

  I also tried to leave the long test running overnight to prevent my impatience for her give up too soon.

  The next day, I found it hung there, very close to realization.

  Not sure if it's relevant information, but the only way to get my iMac on the way of the AHT was pressing command + D and the iMac sarched necessary information on the net.

  THE D only has not given any results.

  I decided to enter recovery mode, format and reinstall El Capitan.

  Everything went well and that the system worked very well.
  I opened Safari and scoured Internet. Everything seemed very well answered.

  Then I turned off the system as another business trip is expected.

  3 days later, I rebooted my machine and still ONCE, spinning drying up and disk0s2: error e/s in the newspapers.

  Repair disk fills very well this time (Foundation nothing to fix) but same thing AHT: semi freezes almost to the end.

  As a bonus, I now get a system that is very slow to restart: it takes 10 minutes to show me the office and there is in fact the largest part of 10 minutes for the gray Apple with a progress bar that seems to never end.

  Then at some point it ends and I can connect, but connection takes at least 2 minutes.

  Saw that AHT is a RAM test and a test of logic board before freezing, but I don't know when exactly it freezes because it does not end and I have no error reported trials.

  Now, the question is: are these symptoms more of a HARD drive or a logic board failure?

  
  

  I apologize in advance for my mistakes and spelling errors, it should be obvious English is not my main language.

  Thank you very much.

  Probably a fault bad cable/connection between the logic and HARD drive, hard drive external pension, pension bad logic in that order.

  Make an appointment with a genius at your nearest Apple Store. Diagnosis is free and they'll give you a quote for repair.

  If you are on a budget to replace a HARD drive in an iMac is pretty simple DIY job provided you watch YouTube videos and get the right tools.

• My 1st generation iPod touch can not save on my iMac El Capitan but can to my MacBook Snow Leopard ' 08. Why the iMac think that the backup is corrupt?

  Of course, I'm using my iMac El Capitan, but when I bought the music today and went to add to my iPod touch iTunes ended up freezing. Long story short, I could delete the files from the iPod but can not add one; Adding a single song led to suspended iTunes and the cancellation of the synchronization via the iPod of course makes no difference.

  After going through all the rigamarole any attempt to delete all backups for iPod, both through preferences and in/Library/Application Support / MobileSync / Backup, I always had the same problem. I can't add music on my iPod via the iMac, nor can I save it there. Yes, I rebooted.

  And so, after many tears, I pulled out my MacBook ' 08, who narrowly missed the cut for El Capitan and so still has Snow Leopard. And now my iPod backed up very well! (I cursed myself for not to copy previous backup before it was replaced, but hey.) They are all under the same Apple ID, so at this point, I'm simply redownloading all of my new purchases on the ol' MacBook ' so I can add it to the iPod... but how long this will be a viable solution? (I realize using products Apple since 2008 is an affront, but you've got to do what you do I do, and I don't currently have pocket for 32 GB change.)

  So the question. Is there an incompatibility of software between my 1st generation iPod touch (3.1.3) and my iMac (El Capitan with iTunes 12.3.2.35 10.11.3)? Is there really a degree of corruption here than Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.6.8 11.4 (18) does not recognize?

  TL; Dr: I can do my iPod touch backup of my iMac?

  (My apologies for what is the format, I still haven't managed to brevity, and these a few hours researching in it made me frustrated).

  Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried to copy on the backup freshly prepared from the MacBook on the iMac and received the same exact error message.

• Freezes and the screen turns after stopping

  Hello

  I'm having a lot of trouble with my iMac, Retina early 2015, and I can't understand what is wrong with it. The problem is that if I use the mac for a period of time, it can sometimes be almost a whole day, at other times, it may be an hour. It has all suddenly freezes them completely and the only way to get it to work is to make a difficult stop (hold the power button until it turns off).

  But when I try to turn the screen does not light. And I still have to make a hard, sometimes stop, it takes about 5 - 6 times before the screen lights up. And if the problem occurred once and I try to use the Mac immediately after, it freezes in the first 10 minutes, and the whole procedure must be repeated for another 10 minutes of use. The only way for it to not freeze is if I use it for like a day, but it gives me only about 3-4 hours before the problem occurs.

  I sent it to a repair shop for repair, I thought that maybe it's the hard drive. They ran a few test Apple and was told that it is not the hardware, but the software causing the problem. Then they plant restores and gives back to me. But it does not solve the problem.

  Any thoughts on what could be the cause of this?

  It is impossible to say without knowing what siftware you may be running. A report of EtreCheck please http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

• Photoshop CS6 freezes to the Routines of FastCore

  I have 7 new iMac end 2017 OSX 10.11.3, I loaded the CS6 on all machines. All work fine except for one of them. I have install CS6 then run Photoshop and run all the updates. I restart photoshop and everything is fine. Then I open a file, any file in Photoshop and it works, then if I stopped the iMac and relaunch Photoshop it freezes to FastCore Routines. He's not leaving. I have to force quit.

  I tried the same thing under a fresh Admin user account and get the same results. I uninstalled all Adobe products and cleaned all the residual files and reloaded CS6 and I get the same results.

  What is going on? Any Suggestions?

• Canon MG7100 prints but will not scan after update of the iMac? How to fix?

  Canon MG7100 worked very well with the iMac - scanning and printing. After doing the updates of the iMac and installation Siri scanning does not work. Always printing. The printer/scanner Canon said - Set PC to start scanning - I have MG7100 added on the iMac. I opened (and re-locked) firewall to let in the Canon UJ utility. I deleted the all-in-one Hi - and added MG7100.

  http://support-Asia.Canon-Asia.com/contents/Asia/en/0100535401.html

  doesn't look like canon has a printer that takes in charge the newer versions of Mac OS x, if I were you I would take contact them to see if they plan on support of new versions, apple made no drivers for the hardware they don't and if hardware manufacturers does not provide a working driver head can group with the new version of Mac OS x We have to rely on manufacturing to have a download on their page

  Is compatible with Mac OS 10.12 (Sierra) with Logic Pro 10.2.4 and the iMac (21.5 inch mid 2011)?  I contemplate moving to Sierra, but not if it comes into conflict with Logic Pro.  Can someone advise?

  Thank you!

  It was reported a number of not being able to save or to new projects with the title of the Sierra.

  I would conclude some time if I were you, especially if everything is working well at the moment.

• A "synch" iTunes always means that the device (iPhone) will be synchronized to the iMac?

  A "synch" iTunes always means that the files will be copied to or removed from the device (iPhone) to match what is currently on the computer to iTunes (iMac)?    And not the other way around?     In other words, if my iPhone has a photo that does not exist on the iMac, the photo will be deleted from the iPhone when the two are in sync?  Thank you!!

  Yes. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device if necessary.

• Updated the Imac to my wife to OS10.  Now have e-mail problems.

  Updated the Imac to my wife to OS10.  Had difficulties in obtaining the post to work.  Once I got it work keep changing to the old password.  We go to the system setting and correct the password for Internet.  Then, we go to the accounts and correct password.  The mail has been working for about 24 hours.  Now she can not sent and passwords will not be at rest.

  What is happening with this Apple!  I use to be able to count on everything works correctly without a bounch of workarounds. You're quick soaking in the quality of Microsoft.

  DDoes this works if you use the customer web email providers?

• I can connect new iMAC (A1418) on my Win10 to use the iMAC monitor?

  Can I connect my new iMAC (A1418) to my Win10 so the Win10 can use the iMAC monitor?

  Read the article to use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode Apple. Apple described the iMacs will work. You will probably find that you get an external display to work with your Windows machine.
