Preferences system hangs indefinitely

Any time I open System Preferences, he's stuck on the tab network and none of the buttons on the menu to work. After 10 seconds, or if I try to close it, the spinning ball will appear. It will stay like that until I Force Quit it. I tried to restart, logging, etc. and it happens again every time. He did this for more than a week.

Check the logs console via Console.app, looking for possible errors apparently around right when you try to access the system preferences, and then, if nothing obvious appears in newspapers - after Etrecheck of output here.

    Hello JEHAN1,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know that to be a problem with the system of preferences on your Mac don't close does not correctly, it's not what you expect!

    If I understand correctly, you deleted a user on your Mac is no longer used. Then, when you quit System preferences, system preferences no longer and do not close. The good news is that you have two options:

    1. first of all, you can try to use the Force Quit option in menu Apple logo to force system preferences to exit, and then restart your Mac.

    Force a nearby application on your Mac.

    2. If you are still not able to get the system preferences to close, then shut down your Mac by choosing stop from the Apple menu, or press and hold the power button for 3 seconds until your Mac asked if not sure you want to shut down your computer now.

    How to turn on or off your Mac

    3. If you can't stop your Mac because it does not respond, you can force it to switch off without stopping. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until your Mac goes off. Use this method only when you cannot stop.

    You can also try the safe boot mode to help solve, as Safe Mode performs some system checks, removes the systems cache files, verifies your startup disk and tries to fix the problems of directory, if necessary.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    See you soon!

  • App wide system hangs on El Capitan 10.11.2

    OK, I'm sure that I traced the problem back to the day, I installed 11.2. It is on the high-end Macbook Pro 2015.

    [form:]

    2.5 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7

    16GB 1600 MHz memory

    512 GB flash based on PCIe storage1

    Graphics Iris Pro Intel / AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2 GB

    This is the issue: about half the time I use Safari, I randomly finds out that, to stop smoking, the app will hang and show the beach ball, forcing me to use force them to leave. Once I do that, however, I won't be able to use Safari, since then, it hangs indefinitely whenever I try to run it again (the new window will be partly responsible, but never end, and the beach ball appears). I'm going to have to at least sign out and then sign back in to start the application again successfully and get rid of the bug.

    It is about half the time, the other half I will get no problem. I tried it followed by a plug-in or extension, but I am now running Safari without all extensions and see the same problem randomly show up half the time I ends the session.

    The biggest problem is that once this happens with Safari, other applications will expose to the weird behavior.

    -My dashboard is able to launch, but all the widgets are frozen and can be moved around, not used.

    -Messages behave exactly like safari (blocking to stop smoking, impossible to revive after)

    -Adobe (Photoshop and Illustrator so far) products will not be able to save the files, although they are able to open & edit recent files. They will not leave successfully (beach ball appears, must force quit).

    I did not experiment with other apps, and I'm not 100% sure it's the fault of Safari. So far:

    -J' uninstalled all extensions and drivers that affect Safari and other applications in the list.

    -J' installed the X.11.2 update on my previous 11.2 discount combo.

    -J' tried to run only Safari without any other open application (once the bug occurs, opening applications will result in the behavior I described above).

    -J' erased my Safari history, that, strangely, gave me two days no problem (probably a coincidence).

    -J' tried to trace the bug occurs after visiting specific sites.

    All this without success. For now, I only 'triggered' the bug using Safari for various periods of time, but there is no way of knowing that I have until I try to quit the application.

    I would like to help in running the diagnostics to find a source of this problem. As I have no idea - ing regarding what is triggering. Thanks in advance.

    Update: Ran Etrecheck and found that force Quits reports are attributed to a blocking of webkit. This would cause the behavior in other applications?

    I was expecting to have to reinstall OS X anyway. Would an installation in the Menu of recovery to reinstall the webkit framework?

I tried selective startup mode and the shutdowns continue to be committed. All the screensavers and standby/hibernation modes are turned off.

  • When you've been a long game my system hang and see a blue screen?

    When you've been a long game my system hang and see a blue screen?

    You gave us a general indication of the nature of the problem but the specific error reports are a much easier solution.

    When a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) the system failure occurs, for most users, there not enough time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

    If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Do right click on the icon my computer on the desktop and select Properties, advanced, startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

    If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

  • System hangs for a minute when sending emails in Windows Mail.

    Original title: Windows Mail problem.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • When I try and create e-mail or reply to a message, the system hangs for a minute before moving forward
    • Error messages - if you try and press the button create again, he says not responding do not
    • Recent changes made to your computer - no recent changes
    • What you have already tried to fix the problem - nothing
    Ensure that Avast is not set to analyze them.  That happens for every email or only the first message that you create?  Responses take longer?  You have a large list of contacts or a large number of fonts installed?  Both of these can slow down WinMail.
     
    In addition, after the removal of Norton, you must set the mail settings for the account, so its best to remove the e-mail account, close and reopen WinMail, and then add it again.
     
    Steve
     

    I got rid of Norton and actually put on Avast anti virus lately. As I said when I hit Create Mail I get a message saying "windows mail does not" and then after about 45 seconds it comes up and I can send emails. I used this Windows Mail utility (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) to compact and repair the database and it has not changed much.
