iMac (24 inch, early 2009) freezes and then thaws

iMac (24 inch, early 2009), frequency of 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dup, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB - no reason apparent other than a mouse click randomly, the computer freezes for anything between a few minutes and maybe 15-20 minutes.  Then, he thaws and answer to all clicks made while it was frozen.

I started in 'safe' mode and disconnect all external devices.  It occurs again, but perhaps to a slightly lesser degree.  The overall reaction is slow, with simple activities, taking a lot of time.  for example to move a small folder to a new location, took nearly a minute to complete.  Ejection of an external drive, took a minute to complete etc.

This started when I upgraded to El Capitan and has been progressively worse since then.   All ideas are welcome please?

try to get etrecheck and run it and post the result

seems that people usually the advice of people like you to do, then probably someone

    My 13-inch, Early 2009 MacBook runs with OS 10.9.5 basically OK on speed, and it's a very good, loaded with the fine software is useful but old and slow sometimes with all additional popups and deflect and is very nervous about the links I don't want and mail that I didn't delete.

  • Satellite M30 - screen freezes and then turns white

    Hello

    After research with M30-241 and finding nothing, I'm trying this way. My laptop is 2.5 years has been repaired once because of the white screen and now it is doing it again. When a game like snooker 2003 blocks the screen you can hear the sound goes and then the screen starts to become clear until it is completely white.

    I have to press the power bit and shut down the system, but it only happens in game. Word, excel, PowerPoint, films without problem.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks for your help fireman6135

    Hi Anton,.

    This situation is usually caused by the chip chart/CPU, not too hot. I suggest that you try to clean the grille of your laptop and also ensure that there are no obstacles to the free movement of air through the radiator cooling.

  • Ethernet card not being detected on my iMac 20-inch early 2008

    Hello

    A few days ago my ethernet started playing up on my mac. I tried different cables and routers but no solution. All my other devices are very well via the same port. I tried to remove and then add a configuration in the network system preferences tab, but the ethernet option is now missing.

    Then, I went into system information and found a mean message:

    I really need help. A Wi - Fi connection is good enough for me.

    By chance I just started having this problem, too. Yesterday everything was ok and I have disabled by Mac before hitting the bed; This morning the Integrated NIC is no longer detected and I have the exact symptoms that you have.

    A few extras:

    (1) I have boot camp, and the NETWORK adapter still works perfectly when it is started in Windows

    (2) I use a power adapter carrier online, and the led indicates that the cable is connected. as soon as I unplug the end of my mac, it turns off

    (3) I did PRAM reset without success and SMC

    (4) I started in diagnosis and everything is ok; I carried on the forest, where you can browse the site of support, and it worked even with wifi disabled, so clearly he was going off the coast of my wired connection

    (5) I started in recovery and had the same experience as point 4 - the network card worked perfectly

    If all this seems to indicate something being off on the BONE itself.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    Is there any pattern to the gel? If it seems to be related to Flash, you can consider disabling the new mode protected in Flash 11.3. See this article from Adobe support under the heading of 'Last resort': Adobe Forums: how to fix protected Flash Player for Firefox mode?

    In addition, to avoid having to restart Windows, you can try closing Firefox using Windows Task Manager.

    Press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC to open the Task Manager

    If Firefox is on the Applications tab, go ahead and put highlight and end task.

    Then, look for the tab process or for the next two and complete the process on each:

    plugin - container.exe

    Firefox.exe

    Then you can close the dialog box and you should be able to restart Firefox immediately.

  • iMac (20 inch, early 2008) will not restart after that put 10.11.4 updated

    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Memory: 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB

    After the download is finished installing, I clicked to restart.  When the computer restarts a gray screen with the Apple logo appears with a progress bar indicating "Installing Software Update".  The progress bar begins to move slowly and stops after about 1/8th of an inch.  It does not move little matter how long wait.  I tried to reboot safe mode, but I get the same thing.

    I have really no idea what to do. I searched online and found several suggestions that go beyond my technical skills.

    Hello Vaishnav,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you are having problems with Game Center on your iPhone. I have a number of things for you to try.

    First force quit Game Center.

    1. Press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
    2. Swipe to the left to find the Game Center app to close.
    3. Swipe up on the preview of the Game Center to close.

    Force an app to close the iOS

    If this does not work, then the next step would be a restoration. I recommend restore like new, without backup restore and everything first. If it works there, you can restore the backup.

  • Firefox works suddenly freezes and then continues to crash in the opening

    This has happened a lot lately. I was reading online, when Firefox crashed. When I try to 'Restart Firefox' after the Mozilla Crash Reporter comes, it hangs just at the start. I write from my (hated!) Internet Explorer browser. This has happened four or five days and I reset Firefox features (thus losing all my personal banners, toolbar settings, and everything else): always crashing. Finally, I reloaded Firefox, which seemed to fix the problem. Them I loaded my bookmarks and toolbars and re-personalized everything (took some time), and it seems to have been working well.

    So tonight: it crashed and I can't start it upward. Here's the string sent by the Mozilla Crash Reporter:

        Crash ID: bp-8bc5e4c9-4f6c-4f34-a335-4e4cb2130908
    

    Could you please help me with this? Oh, and: I think this all started with a download these latest "updates". Things were working fine before this. In addition, my antivirus software AdAware says that the license will expire. That would have an effect on Firefox, i.e. If the antivirus software does not work properly?

    Thanks for your help! I hope you can answer quickly.

    Thank you all for your help! I had to post my questions and answers using Internet Explorer, Firefox was totally inaccessible for some time. After restarting the computer, I found that I could open Firefox "As an Administrator". Finally, I ran a full scan Adaware overnight, then a virus Windows Defender scan the following night. This seems to have contributed to Firefox: I can get on now.

    However, my computer is running very slowly. I think I'll try one of the free programs above to make an analysis to what that other programs might have missed.

    Thanks for the tips! It is useful to know how to access error strings.
