My imac keeps freezing

• 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.

• 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.

• iPhone 6 problem after installing IOS 10.0.2 - phone app keeps freezing for 30 seconds

  After installing IOS 10.0.2 on my iPhone 6, the phone app keeps freezing when I open it and remains frozen for about 30 seconds.  Then it closes its doors.  Then only can open and use the phone/directory.  Does anyone else have this problem?

  My husband and my phone do the same thing. We are constantly reset. Very frustrating!

• iPhone 7 keeps freezing

  Good morning-

  I have a question about my iPhone 7 more.  It seems that it keeps freezing in the middle of a task.  Sometimes natively (iMessage, phone) and downloaded applications (facebook, pinterest).  I either close the applications, or restart my phone all together.

  Everyone knows this, and if so, what did you do to fix?  Or y at - it no indication as to why what is happening on my old iPhone for 3 days 7Plus?

  Hello Mary1973,

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how exciting a new iPhone may be and I would love to help get your works as expected. There are a few things that could cause a new phone to act the way you described, for example, if you have restored from a backup of your old phone parameters may use the older data. To resolve this problem, you can reset the settings on your iPhone.

  What this does is actually reset some of your settings to factory default. This removes all data and applications, photos or contacts, but it removes all of your preferences for the Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, Notifications, general, sounds, contact ID, brightness & wallpaper and privacy, so we will have to define these things upwards after this reset.

  To do this, go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

  If you have set your phone up like new without any transfer of data from another phone, let know us and the community will help find the best solution.
  Best regards

  Use iTunes to restore the device. iTunes will download a new copy of the iOS firmware and install it on the device. You can then use a backup to restore all your content. It is the next step if a reset does not resolve software problems.

• MacBook Pro early 2015 keeps freezing

  I have a (retina, 13 in.) Macbook Pro to early 2015 which keeps freezing randomly. By this, I mean that the screen freezes when I am browsing on safari, or when I'm coding, etc. and also the trackpad and keyboard stop working.
  I can't move the cursor (and it stays the same, it does not change to the beachball) and the trackpad gives no feedback whatsoever, I stop being able to 'feel' the clicks.
  This began to happen shortly after I updated to El Capitan, and now it freezes on me once a day or every two days.
  Here are my specs:

  You use 3.82 GB to 4 GB of your memory. Something is to take all this memory, causing your computer slow down and eventually freeze. To see which uses the most memory, open the activity monitor by searching for it in the spotlight. Select the memory tab, and then click memory for sorting by the user higher at the lowest. What is at the top should not be more than 600 unless you use some videos crazy editing/rendering programs. You can 'leave' a process of this window if it takes a lot of memory. If you leave something, you will lose everything you were doing in the process (e.g. Word, Safari, etc...) Google Chrome is one of the largest memory there suckers. I don't know if you're using Chrome or not, but I give you just a heads up.

  If you see multiple instances of Adware, remove them.

  By default, there is nothing in the files of demons of the Agents/launch of launch system, so you can remove these items without damaging the computer. If you have an application that requires files to be placed in one of these files, it will add it in the folder. If you decide to remove items from these folders, what I would do myself, you will have to restart the computer to empty the trash.

  With regard to the login items, this launch when your username is connected. This means that it starts running as soon as you connect to your user account. Things like Spotify can use a lot of memory, even if you do not use it. If you don't want Spotify to open when you turn on your computer and connect, open system preferences > users and groups > Login Items > select the ones that you don't want and click on the. This does not remove it from your computer, just prevents it to launch at startup upward.

  Finally, there are user Agents throw that you probably shouldn't, particularly those associated with Mac cleaners and torrents. Again, you can delete everything in this folder safely. I suggest you to remove clean my Mac if it is in your Applications folder. Mac do not need antivirus software and most of the "free" antivirus software will tell you there are viruses even when there aren't any. They want you to think that get infected if you buy their product to "clean" what was never there.

  Good luck

  (PS. The Etrecheck shows your excellent performance, so that your hardware is probably good).

• Keeps freezing book Mac 13 inches

  Keeps freezing book Mac 13 inches

  The problem may be caused by a bug in OS X, triggered by "Flash Player."

  If Flash is installed and that you did not already, please update to the latest version by opening the Flash Player pane in system preferences and selecting the updates tab.

  If Flash is already up to date, or if the update does not resolve the problem, open Safari preferences window and select the Security tab uncheck the box marked

  Enable Plug-ins

  See if there is an improvement.

  You can watch videos on YouTube and other sites without using Flash by installing the extension "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin' Safari. This isn't an endorsement. You should always do your own research to determine the safety and effectiveness of any third-party software before using it.

• New macbook air keeps freezing?

  I got this new macbook for almost 3 weeks now, but I'm starting to worry about how it keeps freezing: it first happened a few days ago and still today.

  I had a lot of windows open whenever (music, videos paused, some research, some word documents) - most of them is necessary. What is the reason for which the screen keeps freezing? However, I don't expect the new system to be crashing so easily.

  It is better to contact Apple to the title of the one year warranty is?

  The macbook air is 8 GB of RAM, 256 SSD flash drive.

  You have one year warranty including free telephone support for 90 days. I suggest that you use. You can make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. You can also search an Apple Store - find a store - Apple.

• Satellite C660-11K - keeps freezing and unable to access the windows

  Recently purchased by Satellite C660 11 K and load a game on it, after a few hours it froze (ctrl alt del wouldn't work) I stopped and he started up and I got a message saying some software or hardware was the stoppage of work Windows.

  I restored it to factory with the recovery disk. However, I have not loaded all the games or other software since then, but it keeps freezing, and I had to use the drive recovery 3 times!
  I don't know what else to try!

• Satellite A500 Pro keeps freezing

  Help...

  I have a Satellite A500. It keeps freezing.

  Sometimes it will boot when turned on, but then as soon as I select a program to open, it freezes.
  I can't do anything. I can't control alt delete to open the Task Manager. The only thing I can do is to turn off the power.
  So when I turn it back on, it asks me to start in safe mode, I say yes, but the same thing happens.

  Sometimes it starts and you can go in outlook and check a few emails and I think it works fine, then it stops and says not responding do not. Then I go to Explorer and the same thing happens.
  I have try the Task Manager, but it will not come to the top.

  So I have to stop again. It's very frustrating.
  I have installed Norton and nothing comes to say there's a virus problem.
  I have no error message, it stops just to work.

  Help, please!

  The same happens when you start in safe mode? Test it please. Play around a bit with a few options or applications.

  Since when did you notice this behavior?
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. It will be interesting to know how your work laptop with factory so if possible to save all your data and install the new OS by using the original installation disc of recovery.
