[Yendog]

Nothing is working.. its freezing up with all programs...

iPhoto freezes... the FINDER stops responding... I cant log into my iCloud account through the system preferences... Safari freezes up....

mulitple windows up asking "please enter the keychain password"

cluster****...



----------

wow.. iphoto opens up.. and I can see pictures in the browsing window.. but it immediately freezes and "application not responding"

actually got to the point before my last reboot where the "force quit" wouldn't even work
!!!

----------

yup.. safari goes directly to "application not responding" and the beach ball as well.

 

[blueroom]

[Yendog]

Please be a little bit more vague with your posts, so that we could help you accordingly.

 

[Yendog]

hhmmmm vague... not sure what else I can say

Applications that do not respond

iPhoto, Safari, Keychain access, SYSTEM PREFERERNCES freezes up,

I can't log into icloud via mail account, SP or anyting.. but can get there on phone and online (firefox)

Running 6 month old iMac 7"

Small windows "please enter the keychain passord" message agent and scoped bookmark agent... (im sure these would be cleared if I could log into icloud)

how is any of that vague? I know its rare online but try.. just make an attempt, at not being dickish.

Just trying figure out if anyone elses computer is this bad. I have sent about 8 crash reports to apple in the last fifteen minutes.

something must have gone weird in your installation because you're a unique case lol. Just clean install again I guess. By the time you find answers you probably could have clean installed 10 times anyway.

 

[clukas]

I would also suggest a clean install. Make sure you try to backup, if you have not done so already, and do a full clean install from your recovery partition.

I think I see the problem. Your screen is too small.

 

[slrandall]

Is Spotlight indexing your drive? That tends to slow things down pretty badly for about an hour. Especially if you're trying to open all your applications, which it sounds like you're doing.

 

[crjackson2134]

Check your permissions, and disk for errors. I had hundreds of them. A quick repair fixed everything for me.

 

[jeffzoom91]

1) DON'T PANIC.
2) I compared the your iMac and a picture of a brick, I don't think a brick even has a screen...soo....are you by chance looking at the wall of a building?
3) The password to your mac is your keychain password.

This happens on Enterprise Macs when your server password (Active Directory in my case) expires or is changed on something other than your mac.

Remember that your keychain is encrypted, and it's encrypted with YOUR password. So any application that tries to access anything in it needs to unlock it...and if the last password it had to do that has changed, it can't get in.

Every single one of those applications you listed can store stuff there, and they're just trying to retrieve their stored data. Stored data can range from a saved password to encryption keys to access tokens, certificates, etc.

Enter the keychain password (if your password doesn't work, use the last one you had before you changed it), repair permissions, reboot.

Running 6 month old iMac 7".

Ah the good old 7" Mac. I never go anywhere without mine.

 

[Yendog]

am going to try all these... thanks..

on the laptop everything is hunky dory...

 

[rayhigh]

Before you try anything else do a complete power down then back on. 7 to 2 that fixes it.

I'm sorry, but the last time a 7" Mac was released was like 1985 . Did you buy this off Ebay 6 months ago? I don't think that would support OSX Mavericks.

Check with Apple to make sure your system is compatible.

 

[McGiord]

Mavericks: the best marketing way to get Mac users to buy new hardware...

 

[sikkinixx]

I'm having similar (though less total) issues.

Mail.app will not work, I get my inbox then before I can click anything crash log "would you like to reopen?" iTunes does similar, as does Calendar.

The joys of x.0

A 2012 Mac Mini btw so not like I'm using some creaky old stuff. Everything else feels snappy though

 

[Princejb134]

i have a 2011 macbook pro and so far is working flawless
no problems so far
noticeable a bit faster also

 

[Yendog]

well.. reinstalled the OS... after a few boots and some restarting of applications everything seems to now be working...

Totally strange... never had a problem with upgrading and I've done every upgrade since 2000 with every OS.

Not sure what the login problem with iCloud was but seems to be fixed now... fingers crossed.
