It's happened twice now, but sometimes my iMac will just stop being responsive. I can't figure out why. Anyone know? Anyone know how to prevent it?
Thanx in advance!

More information is required; start by explaining the events leading up to the 'stoppage'. Freeze-ups are very rare. That is more of a Windows concept.
The first time I had just started using my mac, so there wasn't much on it. I think I was running maybe safari and iTunes. This time I was using iTunes, Safari and Frostwire. I was listening to preview clips on iTunes and I went to listen to one and when I double clicked, nothing happened. I restarted it numerous times and even unplugged it. When I would start up, the mouse would move, and the dock would magnify, but I couldn't click anything. Strangely, I started trying different keys and the keyboard was able to do things. (Very few since I'm still learning mac) Could it be my mouse? It's a bluetooth MM. I would't think so since it could move around...
Ok. Next time it happens, I'll see if pulling the batteries works. I'll post to let you know in case thats what does it for anyone else.
