10.7 Build 11A511 2.7 GHz Core i5 4GB 1TB HD
When I acess videos on youtube.com or even watch embedded videos my whole system freezes. I have tried other browsers etc and even in uninstalled and installed flash.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
Ok just plugged in usb printer and Freeeeeez, had to hard reset, never had this isuue until Lion. So thats usb scanner and printer froze my iMac.
Not adding anything new, just saying it's happened to me 4 times now.
I'm not sure when it happens, but it seems like the right timing.
Got back home, woke my Mid 2011 27" iMac from sleep
Played a youtube video for 2 seconds and froze
Mouse movable
No clicking available.
Unresponsive
Required hard reboot.
Apple needs to fix this!
4 times in about 4 days is frustrating....
I can't even remember rebooting my iMac on leopard/snow leopard more than twice.
Has a bug report been filed through Apple yet at bugreport.apple.com?
Mine the same. Mid 2011 i7 iMac, 12GB. Freezes few times a day, always while watching video.
+1 here. 2011 27" iMac i5.
Started crashing immediately when attempting to watch a Youtube video. Only thing to do was a hard reset.
I went to the Adobe site and installed the current flash player, upon installing it did tell me it was a OSX Lion beta, since then I've tried to force the issue by putting the mac to sleep and watching youtube, but I've not had a re-occurence.
I'll try to report back when it does it again
where did you find the Lion beta flash player? Link? dont see it on their site
thanks
here's an update on my situation after calling apple and making a case. an engineer called mtoday and wants to compile data from my system to research the crash logs and app logs. keeping my phalanges crossed.
Let us know how it goes. I'm not resetting PRAM etc. like other posters have been told to do, as it did not work. I downloaded updated Java - still have probs. I think I'll just stick to non-videos (as everything else seems to work for me) for now, until we get an official update from Apple. If anyone has a better idea, let us know!!!
I have also been contacted by someone from AppleCare. They sent me a data capture app that I have to run and send the results back to them for Engineering to look at. Good to know they're working on this problem and hopefully will have it resolved soon.
bill,
did you have to be transfered around when calling Applecare? or was the 1st person able to help?
I didn't call them, they contacted me by email (I'm in Japan).
My experience:
I have a new 2011 iMac and never saw problems before the Lion upgrade.
I can't believe people are blaming Apple for an Adobe Flash problem. No wonder Steve Jobs doesn't like it😐
On the other hand, Apple should be faster at advising people to update to the Lion version... and kicking Adobe's arse to get it out of beta.
I chose the normal OSX Flash install (marked as for versions up to 10.6), but when you install it it tells you it's a 10.7 beta.
By the way, still not had re-occurence of the issue.
Had the same problem with a brand new iMac 27'' i7 4GB 1TB HD...
Why does my entire system freeze when I watch YouTube after Lion install?
