This happens to me all the time. Somehow by accident I click my canvas onto wireframe without realizing it. Which then causes playback to freeze only updating the frame once I stop. Here’s the fix.
In your canvas window in the top middle are three buttons, the far right one (when you click on it) should have “image” checkmarked not “wireframe”. Switch it over, the problem should be fixed.
Not sure how this happens but I imagine there’s a quick-key somewhere that turns on the Canvas wireframe, so some missed keystroke every now and then turns this on by accident.

I just had the same problem but solved it pretty quickly and easily. I think it was caused by not properly shutting down the entire system before doing anything with my external firewire box (canopus box). To solve this I shut down the computer, unplugged all firewire devices (external drives & canopus box) then restarted the computer while resetting the P-Ram.
– to reset P-Ram hold down the P,R, Command, & Option key all at once while restarting the computer. Wait for the computer to make the startup BONG sound at least 3 times before letting go of the 4 keys.
Once I had reset the P-Ram I trashed the Power Management P-List File. You can find this file here.
MAC HD -> Library -> Preferences -> System Configuration -> Power Management P-list file
After that was trashed I emptied the trash, shut down the computer, plugged my firewire devices back in and started up normally. Everything works fine after that.
Hope this helps,

figured out the problem. I was using a kynopis box for my FireWire connection. And was swapping the FireWire between the box and my camera constantly without powering down the computer first. I reset the preferences for the kynopis box and now everything works perfectly. Word of advice to anyone out there with a similar set-up. Always turn off your computer before switching your FireWire chord.
