I just updated my Macbook pro's OS from Maverick to Yosemite...now my safari doesnt open and always quits
Macbook Pro (13inch , Mid 2012 )
processor 2.5Ghz Intel core i5
memory 4Gb 1600Mhz DDR3
OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
See if Safari starts if you launch it while holding down the SHIFT key. If it does, it means you have some incompatible Safari extensions. While still launch via the SHIFT key method, go to Safari Preferences > Extensions tab and turn off all extensions. Then see if Safari opens normally and report what you found.
I have the same MBP as you. I upgraded to Yosemite last week and Safari works perfectly. I run no virus software or "cleaning/tuneup" utilities and have only one extension from a trusted source that keeps it updated.
You may have acquired a piece of malware from an unscrupulous download hosting site. If disabling extensions does not help, please use the instructions in this Apple article:

after updating my Macbook Pro retina display to os x yosemite 10.10.2, the mause and track pad locks, and do not respond especially when using the Mac for a long period, please help, how can I solve this, I do not like feel like in windows, so I paid good money for this mack, I feel calm
Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

Macbook Pro 2010 upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite keeps shutting down on its own
I upgraded to OS X Yosemite about a month ago, I have a macbook pro 2010, and in the last two weeks it started shutting down on its own. At first when i'd wake it, the fan would come on loudly and then it would shut down. In the last couple of days, I would make sure all programs were shut when it wasn't in use and then put it to sleep but every time i'd return it would be shut down and need a hard restart. If i just pressed the on button lightly it wouldn't start. And when i turn it on the fan comes on immediately. I'm a publisher so I'm working in indesign and illustrator a lot but I keep a constant look out for my memory and this isn't the problem. I'm working to a deadline here and can't afford to lose my computer for 3 days in the mac store (I live in Barbados) to get it fixed. Any advise?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select the most recent panic report (with a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic") under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the report—the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang report. -

I just updated my macbook pro and now every time i go to youtube it tells me I have to download the new version of adobe flash player so i do and it still wont let me play it ..
Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash. -
Hi I just updated my MacBook Pro to OS X, so I have to update my iPhoto as well, but I'm not sure what Apple ID my mac is registered under, how do I find that?
What Apple ID did you use to upgrade your computer? It would be that one. You can check the site below.

So I just updated my MacBook Pro and installed the new version of iPhoto and rebooted it and now there is a logo of the world blinking on my screen and it will not go away please help
You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default. -

I just updated my MacBook Pro to 10.7.5 and got a message that the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext was improperly installed and cannot be used. How to I find and install this extension?
Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, copy and paste the entire following line into it, and press the Run button:
do shell script "chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" with administrator privileges
If it doesn’t work, throw that item away and then reinstall iTunes.

Since updating my macbook pro to IO X Mavericks, my iCloud email account will not hold its password. Apple support cannot provide a resolution. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have you tried - in Mail go to the menu Mail > Preferences.
When the Preferences Pane opens, click on the Accounts Tab.
Click on your iCloud Account to select it.
Click on the Advanced tab.
Set Authentication to Apple Token.
Close the Preference Pane.

Hello everyone I need help! Why i cant Update to Mountain Lion if Im gonna try to update my Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. It always says "Your Software is up to date" which is only Mac Os X ver. 10.7.5
Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
If you've indeed purchased ML already, you'll find it exactly there in the App Store: under Purchases. -
My Macbook Pro (5,3) sporadically goes to sleep when the lid is open and in use.
My Macbook Pro (5,3) sporadically goes to sleep when the lid is open and I am actively using it. This problem happens both with OS X 10.7.2 and Windows 7 (64bit), so I don't think it's an OS issue. Has anyone else encountered this? It's still covered under apple care... But I'd rather try to fix it myself before having to bring it in.
Thanks!I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case - it does get hot. However, this happens even when I first open it after having it in sleep mode for an entire night... Do you know how to run the diag tool with OS X 10.7?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I can't open any videos. I get a "Blocked Plug-In" message. When I go into Preferences - Security, there is nothing to check or un-check to unblock them. Now what do I do?

I just updated my macbook pro OSX 10.8.2 and now the speakers won't turn off mute.
I did the software update, and upon restarting the speaker in the dock is off, and in the system preferences I am not allowed to uncheck the mute. Using the keyboard buttons doesn't work either.
I have had the same exact experience. I purchased my MacBook Pro about a month ago and I've been using the wireless Airport ever since with no problems whatsoever. Today I went to use my Mac and the "no airport card installed' message appeared as if I have no airport card. How can that be? I'm not sure what could have caused it. I have updated my mac as often as updates are available and all I can think is that the most recent has interfered. Any thoughts on what went wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!
P.S. I have since moved to Nepal and the chat line only asks for US or Canadian phone numbers. That can't work - what about on - line chats?

Hi,
Wondering if anyone knows what's going on with my Filemaker Database that will not view properly on my desktop after upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6.8 on
my MacBook Pro. Is this a Java issue? The data is all there but all I see is blank boxes when I open or click on a specific area in the database.
My Java version is SE 6 1.6.0.37-bo6-434.Let me understand:
- you have purchased named canon, which is conencted to your PC running windows xp
- downloaded driver for win xp, and canon works fine
- canon is connected to that PC via USB
- that Canon is also activated as network printer, by allowing print sharing in windows; how did you set that option?
- now, you are in Mac OS x 10.6.8, downloaded Canon driver for Mac OS X, installed it, detected printer on the network, printer was installed; was it detected as attached to that PC running win XP? or not?
or you set canon by being connected to your mac directly via USB?
Now, there are some questions you should answer as some details are missing, and your initial text is not clear. Can you print if Canon is connected directly to your mac? did you try that? if not, do it before answering.
