SnecxXx Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hello I recently upgraded to 10.6.7. All went fine. My iTunes Lib is on a second HD. I can start applications and browse the web. If i open itunes an start playing a song the OS instantly freezes. I can't move the mouse or use the keyboard. The funny thing the music plays fine in background. If the song is finished the PC is complete dead. I have to switch off. Any hints?

thebarbarian87 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm hesitant to post this as a fix, because the freezing was so erratic, but I was having the same problem until I used a Disabler.kext to stop AppleUpstreamUserClient from loading. Thread here. After doing that, iTunes has been rock-solid. I played some Starcraft 2 with it running, I worked in Photoshop, nothing seems to make it crash now. Worth a shot? Edit: One day later, I'm convinced that this is the fix. I haven't had another iTunes crash since I added the Diabler kext. And, because I forgot to include it, my system information: GA-EP45-DS3L Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.67GHz 4GB DDR2 @ 1066MHz nVidia GeForce 8800GT Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/252859-freeze-after-playing-sound/#findComment-1661549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnecxXx Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thank you. I guess it would help me too. But maybe i'm to silly but i can't find the download link for the kext. If i click on the link i always start at the same thread. It would be nice if you could get me a direct link.

Here is the link: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1075673 The post you're looking for is #199, by stellarola. Download that Disabler.kext and add it to the /Extra/Extensions folder in your Chameleon partition. If that link isn't working, try this one: Disabler.kext.zip Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/252859-freeze-after-playing-sound/#findComment-1666310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnecxXx Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Thank you. I tried the kext. It's working so far. I am working 2 days without crash. I will keep an eye on it. But i guess it's the solution. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/252859-freeze-after-playing-sound/#findComment-1667850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
