Go to Safari preferences/Extensions and disable all extensions. Test. If correct, enable the extensions one by one until find you which extension is causing the problem.

  • macOS Sierra keeps freezing

    I installed Sierra on my MacBook Pro a few days ago, and several times it froze. First the computer stops responding to my external mouse. About 30 seconds later it stops responding to the keyboard and trackpad. I have to force a reboot. Why is this?

    Perhaps relevant: according to activity monitor, kernel_task frequently uses now several hundred (and sometimes more than 2,000) percentage of my CPU. Who would have thought that was possible?

    Hey,.

    I am trying to import goods of PrPro in CS5.5 Encore and also tried CS6, but I always get this message:

    Screen Shot 2016-10-07 at 9.44.14 PM.png

    And this happened right after that I improve my system to macOS Sierra.

    Any suggestion? I appreciate your help.

    Yes, I meant dynamic link. and I found it is that prpro CC doesn't support dynamic link to Encore CS6.

    Premiere Pro CC are not dynamic links

    So, I followed the steps described in the link above or just go back with PrPro CS5.5/CS6 or maybe just use Final Cut Pro?

    So bad that Adobe do not support its expensive products.

    Alas, my crystal ball is in the shop for cleaning, so you will need to provide more details on what "doesn't work" and above all error messages. First of all, let's start the App Store. Provide as much information as possible for those of us who do not sit on your shoulder.

  • I tried to download macOS Sierra for the last hours on my Mac, but it is still holding still to download. Should I download the El Capitan instead? All sites tell me that I should update my Safari.

    I tried to download macOS Sierra on my macbook pro iOS 10 for a few hours and it still has several hours to go. Should I just download the Capitan instead? All sites tell me that I should update my Safari or I wouldn't even through this disorder.

    You must complete the download of Sierra. It is a very large file and will take some time, especially on a slow Internet connection.

    WHEN YOU USE MY MAC YESTERDAY I HAD A FREEZE ON ALL OF THE SYSTEM WHEN YOU TURN ON CAPS LOCK THIS INCLUDES ENTRANCE TO VIDEO PLAYBACK, KEYBOARD AND MOUSE (HE'D CATCH UP AFTER A FEW SECONDS, BUT THE LETTERS YOU ENTERED NOT APPEAR OUT IN THE RIGHT ORDER, SUGGESTING IS NOT ONLY A DISPLAY PROBLEM, BUT A REAL FREEZE) THEN THERE ARE MORE SMALL FREEZES AND BLIPS AS LONG AS CAPSLOCK SHIFT WAS.

    TODAY, HOWEVER, I AM HAVING THE OPPOSITE TO HAPPEN. FROST OCCUR WHILE CAPS LOCK IS OFF, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EMBARRASSING AS ALL LOOKS LIKE I'M YELLING!

    THERE SEEMS TO BE HAVING THE CPU SPIKES IN ACTIVITY MONITOR, AND I TRIED TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES.

  • macOS Sierra: Finder does not

    Hey,.

    I'm running a 2011 end MacBook Pro with macOS Sierra (10.12) running. It is a new installation of the system. Its an i7, 8 GB ram, and a 512 SSD running.

    The system works really well, but now and then the Finder completely freezes upward with many applications refusing to start. When I try to force quit them, everything except the Finder can be quit. In an attempt to relaunch the Finder, it just crashes and goes into a loop does not.

    Another strange thing, I've seen, it's Photos.app said now "Closed library" or something to that effect. Not able to reproduce every time, but it happens now and then.

    My doubts are on my oneDrive synchronizes running may at this time? -J' have two account personal and business running on them at the moment. Aside, the only other cloud service is iCloud (with iCloud Drive work with the new feature of office and Documents).

    At this point, I had to reset hard at the computer to make it work again.

    I have the same problem with the Finder on my iMac late 2009 after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra. When I double click on any folder or the Finder, I get the 'beachball', Finder becomes "inadmissible", and when I try to restart the Finder, nothing happens. I can't get Finder operational return. The only solution is to reboot. And frankly, I'm tired of reboot five times a day. I think that this happens generally when I'm under Safari. Not sure if it's one of the reasons why Finder crashes. I already tried to reinstall Sierra with no luck.

    I upgraded to macOS Sierra of El Capitan, at the end of September and now my list of replace text does not appear in system preferences > keyboard > text.  The list is available and works on my iPhone 7 (iOS 10.0.2).

  • On macOS Sierra - Parallels Desktop 12 - error unable to load Parallels driver - error ID 352

    I have updated at 10.12 some weeks ago, with no problems.

    I used 10 Parallels and put Windows 7 access every day. My Mac software was 100% up-to-date.

    After a few weeks, I started Windows and Parallels showed the error "Failed to load the driver" and KB Parallels, I found that I may need to upgrade. As I was planning to upgrade anyway, I upgraded to Parallels 12 and got the same error.

    I contacted Parallels support - they responded with this:

    Failed to load Parallels driver. Problem ID: 352

    Cause

    The problem is in the bundle /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIFamily.kext from Apple. In the bundle's info.plist is damaged due to some reasons.

    Resolution

    If please contact Apple Support team and send them system.log and corrupt /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIFamily.kext/Info.plist.

    The person wrote that if Apple can't help, we will try to help "."

    Is anyone able to help please?

    Thank you.

    It is a user to user forum, not a team of Apple Support forum. In any event, it sounds like a problem of Parallels as it is unlikely that multiple versions of the operating system have defective or damaged kernel extensions.

    For what it's worth, I use Parallels 11 without problem on macOS Sierra to access Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP64, Windows 7 and Windows 10 of virtual machines. I think you should go back to parallels Support. I've avoided Parallels 12 because of all the problems users are reporting

  • Finder crashing on macOS Sierra

    I have a late 2009 iMac Core2 3.33 GHz, 8 GB RAM processor. After the installation of macOS Sierra, Finder crashes constantly on me. I have to restart about five times a day.

    • Get beach balls when you click on an external drive or a folder.
    • Get beach balls when you use folders and files on my computer with Mac (for example logic) applications or web applications.
    • When the Finder crashes, I can't start it again.
    • When the Finder crashes and I try to stop or restart, my screen freezes and the system is not finished closing down or restart (I have to press my power button / as a strong downwards).
    • I tried already to re-setup of Sierra.
    • I already cleaned my folder of application of system of 'tricks' old, unused library support.
    • All of a sudden, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto and iMovie has started to download and install on my iMac - it was very strange. I had already installed the new versions of the Pages, Numbers and Keynote, before Sierra was deployed. In addition, I see no updates in the App Store that relate to this spontaneous download.
    • Projector has also crashed on me recently during a search.
    • I read that Google Drive and dictation can cause this, but I don't have to be installed/activated.

    I will continue to add to this newspaper that I find new things that cause my iMac to hang / crash.

    This facility has worked with El Capitan (2 Thunderbolts-> DisplayPort + HDMI 1 = 3 monitors).

    Update of macOS Sierra - as soon as I connect a 3rd monitor (any order) - it freezes the whole system. Two monitors works very well

    If I boot with three monitors connected, the screen goes black and I have to power down manually.

    There has been a lot of complaints of not being able to use the resolution full screen on 3 monitors of party, who has worked in El Capitan.  I've seen all the problems such as you report.

    However, I guess the graphics driver passed under changes in the Sierra, and it is possible, that this is yet another side effect.

    You may very well be a bug, so that developers know that there is still another problem with the graphics driver Sierra
