Brand New Macbook Freezing / Faulty Adapter

Hopefully someone out there can help me..
I was given my Macbook Pro as a gift from the parents back in October last year. I remember it freezing on the first or second day of having it, but anyway.. since then it has been fine, until now!
About a month ago, I had my Macbook on the bed & I actually dropped it onto the floor [it worked fine] however, the magsafe charger has been faulty since. I have to wiggle it about to get the light to stay green/orange & sometimes it flickers faintly & the icon switches from charging to just normal on screen. Can someone tell me if I can get a new charger from the Apple store? I have the standard 1yr Warranty.
The other problem, which ONLY occurred this last 2 weeks is that my Macbook will just freeze. No wheel, it will just show the cursor where I last had it & NOTHING will work. I have to hold down the power until it switches off. I send a report to Apple [whatever this means] and sometimes it'll just freeze again a few minutes after. It has even froze on the actual loading up screen [with the white apple/loading icon]. Most of the time my Macbook freezes, I don't even have ANYTHING open.. which I'm guessing is bad news! I used to play my Sims 3 game smoothly before, however, now it also freezes a couple of minutes into it - so I've given that up!
I keep sending these reports & when I restart my Mac, about 5 minutes of using it [IF I'm lucky not to have the thing freeze on me] I'll get the ''You need to restart your computer'' message - and this also, just freezes up my screen. I was sending an e-mail earlier & half way through writing it, it happened & I lost everything! There is NO overheating/unusual noises.. the only time my mac heats up is when I'm using Final Cut / Sims, but even then it doesn't heat up more than usual..
I'm getting annoyed now because I have 2 x 3500 word essays to write & it is very annoying having to autosave every 2 minutes! Help!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your Mac should never freeze. There could be any number of causes, and the drop could be a factor. Unfortunately, the 1 year warranty does not cover accidental damage, although you may have homeowner's or renter's that does.
Since the freezing was present before the drop, it could be hardware or software related. A good place to start might be with the Apple Hardware Test, which is located on one of the gray system discs that originally came with the computer. Run the extended version if you can.
If the AHT runs to completion, see if it gives you any error codes that would indicate a hardware problem. If you get any, call Apple and tell them. Error codes indicate a hardware problem which Apple hopefully will be able to fix under your 1 year warranty.
If you cannot even run the AHT because your Mac freezes, then that in itself indicates some sort of a hardware problem, and again, you will need to call Apple about it and see if you can arrange for repair.
It's possible that the freezing and the kernel panic message you received may relate to your RAM not being well seated, so you might want to try reseating it. Instructions will be in your owners manual.
Here is a guide for troubleshooting kernel panics:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
If none of this has helped, you might want to try reinstalling the OS.
As for the MagSafe adaptor, you want to try a different one just to be sure the damage is to the adaptor and not to the port in the computer. Here is a link for troubleshooting these:

Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, it might be quickest to make an appointment at the genius bar and get them to help you with this. They have a hardware test they can run from the store feed, and they would know what to check.
Good luck!

  • Brand New Macbook Freezes On Start Up!

    i had to make a new thread for this
    just got my macbook last week
    and now it freezes when i turn it on
    it shows the first grey apple logo screen
    and then goes to the second blue screen and freezes
    i have tried everything in the manual to resolve this, but nothing
    i know if i reinstall the OS that will probably fix it, but it's just a **** hassle
    i am a new user, and this is not very promising of apple
    should i reinstall or go to the apple store and demand a new one and complain like a mad man?

    Hi danno2022!
    If you just purchased your machine, it's still with the return policy window. Where did you purchase it from? I'd recommend taking it back to the Apple store you bought it from (if you did), have a Genius take a look at the issue, verify it and then offer a solution. That solution may involve a replacement, but it'll be there discretion (obviously).
    Did you recently install anything or run any updates? Was the machine functioning fine before the update(s) only to exhibit this issue afterwards?
    As for the "complain like a mad man" approach, as someone who use to work in retail... you may wish to slightly alter your plan. While you're no doubt upset and disappointed, which I don't blame you, going in to chew someone's head off when all they're trying to do is "help you" is a pretty tough scenario. I took care of everyone that I could, when I could, but it was always easier and quicker to ensure the people that were cool and level headed got resolved. Sometimes the "mad man" just cannot be appeased, despite my best efforts. Food for thought!

  • Brand New MacBook freeze during updates.

    Hello everyone,
    I bought a macBook about a month ago and everything was going perfectly well until the first update notification came out. Indeed, even after letting my MacBook on all the night, the updates were still on "initializing updates" the next morning.
    I noticed it happens only for Mac OS X update (10.5.4). Indeed all others updates as itunes for exemple seem to work well. Anyone has an idea on how to fix it ?

    Thanks for your help.
    I actually found the answer on this topic:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7630125#7630125
    Someona had the same problem than me. The file was corrupted i just had to download it manually.
    Thanks again i love my macbook and my problem is solved. Cheer!

  • ITunes freezes my brand new Macbook

    I have a brand new Macbook Pro, 15", the harddrive is an SSD.
    All software is up-to-date
    From the moment I took it out of the box, iTunes has completely locked up my Macbook, requiring a hard shutdown or a force quit (that sometimes takes upwards of 10-15 minutes) to return everything to normal.
    iTunes is the only program that causes this.
    I have tried revalidating the permissions. I have deleted the iTunes files and let it rebuild them. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I have tried various combinations of programs running. Even with iTunes being the sole thing running, my entire macbook freezes. The sound keeps playing, the cursor keeps moving, but nothing can be clicked till about 30-60 seconds goes by and it unfreezes for a second or 2, then it freezes again for another 30-60 seconds.
    It's been 2 weeks of this. Is there any sort of fix coming? I can't imagine I will be keeping this macbook if it is incapable of running software i need for my iPhone and iPod.

    Well, I discovered the problem with mine.
    Last.FM
    When iTunes opened, it opened the Last.FM program automatically. That is what was making it hang.
    I deleted Last.FM and downloaded iScrobbler for MAC OSX instead and that seems to have done the trick. It's nice to have full functionality, finally.
    Not sure if anyone else has Last.FM, but if you do... that might be the issue.

  • Brand new macbook pro keeper keeps freezing

    Hello,
    I got a brand new macbook pro less than a week ago and already it is acting up. It keeps making these clicking sounds that seem to originate from the top right corner of the keyboard (where the power button is). Also, I'm constantly getting the spinning rainbow wheel, even though the only applications I have open are pages and safari. When the spinning wheel starts, I can't even access force quit. I tried rebooting my computer but things are still freezing (even now I'm getting the wheel every couple of words that I type). This is all very frustrating. I feel like this shouldn't be happening, especially based on how much I paid for this computer. I also tried running the 'verify disk permissions' in disk utility and it came up with a bunch of problems (I don't know if that's normal or not)
    Help?

    Make an appointment online at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store and take it in. They should be able to get you going.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro freezes after iTunes-update??

    Updated itunes to 10.5.1 last night and now itunes and my brand new Macbook Pro freezes whenever I open iTunes. I got it last week and it has worked perfectly, but now it freezes and has trouble finding the wifi. What to do?? Can I somehow undo the update?

    Is this Java based game Runescape? I experience the same crashes, ive tried using other things in-game other than the OpenGl and i still experience crashes, much more often when i have iTunes running while trying to play. Ive never had problems like this before, even while using older computers with much less memory, etc.. This is my first mac and id have to say it's not leaving a good impression. I planned to be able to play some games on this and consider Runescape requires very low CPU this is kind of sad that a Mac can't process it without crashing. Ive been reading lots of similar posts online and it sounds like Apple should be worried more about customer satisfaction than their own stocks. Hope something works out soon!!

  • Brand New MacBook Pro keeps freezing

    I have had my brand new MacBook Pro for about four months now and out of the blue, it will freeze up for about a minute or so randomly with no warning. I have run Disk Utility already along with restarting it, but it still freezes. Any ideas on to what is causing it?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Impossible to say without any information. You may want to keep Activity Monitor open (Applications-Utilities-Activity Monitor) and see if there is anything that uses a lot of % CPU and/or RAM. Check to see how much free RAM you have, if it's below 500MB that could be a problem, it simply means you are using all the available RAM.
    Your machine is covered by the warranty too, so you may want to visit your local Apple Store and have a Genius look it over.
    BTW when posting a problem, please let us know exactly what you are doing when the problem occurs, including what apps, version numbers etc. and specifics about your computer. Something like, "Yesterday afternoon and this morning while using Excel (Office 2011) on my 2010 15" MBP with 4GB RAM and 500GB HD my system......" That way we have the who, what and when.

  • Brand New MacBook Pro Freezes When Playing Games

    My sister recently received a brand new MacBook Pro courtesy of the University of Arizona and already she is having problems. When my sister plays a Java based game utilizing the Open Gl graphics plugin her computer will sometimes freeze after the graphics become distorted. during the freeze only the mouse will move and everything else is unresponsive, the only solution is to shut of the computer using the power button. All the updates have been installed and this doesn't happen any other time then when playing that game. This neither happens on her PC nor does it mine playing the same game. I'm not sure what the problem is and I would appreciate any help.

  • Brand New MacBook Air Randomly Resetting (IMO WiFi Issue)

    Good evening,
    My problem is as follows:
    I purchased a brand new Macbook Air last week and since the get go have been having issues while transferring large amounts of data over WIFI. The issue is that it seems when there is no activity (I leave the files transferring and have no interaction with the computer) and the files are transferring, some sort of error occurs and creates the system to panic and subsequently reboots.
    I have contacted Apple, and they ran me through a few common procedures (Reset SMC, RAM, Disk Repair, etc...). On my own I also ran the Hardware Tool several times and the results was always the same (everything in perfectly working order). I also did a restore in the event that it may be some faulty system file, yet to no avail as the problem persists.
    As per my title, I believe it has something to do with WiFi card, as I even disconnected all peripherals (USB Apple Keyboard & My Passport External HDD), yet again and as mentioned above the system continues to reboot without any apparent reason.
    Below is a copy of the log, certain information has been changed such as UUID, but everything else is as is.
    Could it be a hardware problem? As I am only seeing (as of now) this happen whenever I leave the computer and it is downloading a file.

  • Brand new MacBook no longer working

    I just got my gf a brand new Macbook Pro w/ Retina about 2 weeks ago. She's barely been on it, but it's been working fine during the few times she has been on it.
    Starting yesterday, she noticed that she couldn't even boot log in because it would keep bringing her to a screen where it shows a disk, and it would basically freeze on her there. The only few things that she's done since she had it was set up her Apple ID and browse the Internet for the most part. I've installed Microsoft Office and that's the only thing that's been installed thus far.
    Here's where I'm at now though. I've tried rebooting the MacBook Pro into OS X Recovery, wiped the HD using Disk Utility, and tried reinstalling Mavericks. Now it's giving me the "Install Failed. OS X could not be installed on your computer" error.
    Not sure where to go from here, and I really don't feel up to going to the one and only Apple Store nearby, considering it's always a little aggravating to get in and out of that area.
    Some other people who experienced this issue talk about a default installation DVD that came with their MacBook, but I've just bought 2 MacBook Pros and neither one of them came with a DVD. I don't even know why it would, considering there's no DVD drive. So what the ****?

    Welcome.
    1) Apple Support Communities are user-to-user support forums, not official Apple Support. It's late on a Friday night/early on a Saturday morning in North America, where many of the most dedicated ASC patrons reside. Many are off-line, doing something else, or asleep. If no one viewing the forums reads your post and has any suggestions, then you won't get any answers.
    2) You've posted in the OS X Mavericks forum. That's not necessarily the best place for posting a request for help concerning what appears to me to be a hardware (hard drive/SSD) problem on your MacBook Pro Retina. MacBook Pro would be a better choice.
    3) Based upon your diagnosis and actions already, I doubt there is anything anyone here can do to fix your computer. Since it's relatively new, use the warranty. If you're in the US, and still within the first 14 days, you can even return the computer for a full refund. You're still covered under the initial 90-days of free phone support too, so try that first, if you're not near an Apple Store. http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ Or click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of any Apple Support Community page.  Or just take it to an Apple Store or other Apple-authorized repair facility.
    4)  I can't speak for everyone here, but I scan the forums for new unanswered posts, in an attempt to offer assistance, so I rarely bother to read the new messages that already have responses, especially multiple responses, unless it's a request where I might have specialized knowledge of the OS, the program,  or the specific hardware. Because you've self-replied several times in the same thread, I think some people (far better qualified to offer assistance on your specific issues) here would assume that you've already gotten several replies.

  • Snow leopard to Lion Upgrade on a brand new Macbook Pro

    My brand new macbook pro (bought september 2011) came with snow leopard installed. Am I really expected to buy a Lion upgrade for a brand new product?

    Not required.
    Some have upgraded and want desperately to reinstall SL.  Some are happy with the move.  Some are not completely happy but will live with it and adapt.
    Read here for the "new features" to see if the move is worth the risk to you http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html.
    Regardless, first thing you need to do is get a mac-formated drive and make a TimeMachine or CarbonCopyClone (download for free) backup.  The only common and provable issue with Lion upgrade is that those who do NOT make a backup regret not havng it when/if they reinstall SL. 

  • Brand new Macbook 13" - external display won't detect through mini dvi-dvi

    As per title, it's a brand new Macbook 13" white plastic, (so version is whatever the recent model is.)
    As the adaptors are an absolute rip-off, my brother posted me his old one, which he swears was working, and I have no reason to disbelieve him. I've not got another mac to test it on. If it IS the adaptor, then I'll just have to mortgage the house and buy a new one, but I'd like to rule out anything first...(why DO Apple insist on making what must be several thousand % markup on Chinese stuff when it's an essential thing that should have been provided with the Mac like they used to? Anyway....)
    What happens is that it either flickers once, or just does nothing. Either way, it doesn't detect another display. Anything else I could or should try before I splash the cash?

    How are you getting from miniDVI to HDMI? (adapter(s) type?)
    Have you been able to test your macbook on another tv (or DVI monitor?)
    It could be a software thing (e.g. related to a system update) as in this thread:
    Macbook (Late 2007) External Display Not Working
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2055760&tstart=45
    Or it could be something else entirely more mysterious:
    Macbook stopped working with a certain specific display (external DVI)

  • Brand New MacBook Pro and Display Adaptor Issue

    Hello fellow Mac users, I've been a long-time Mac user and owner.
    I just got a new MacBook Pro after using a 2006 model for 2 years and am having a display adapter issue that I need help and advice with:
    The new MacBook Pro has the mini DVI display connector, my non-Apple external display is does not support the mini DVI, no problem there, I bought the display adaptor...
    Except that it doesn't fit the adaptor that fit the 2006 MacBook Pro.
    Please See Image at Link:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/sdjOcw1jrddqtAfjAU0Trw?feat=directlink
    File comment: This is the adaptor that connected my 2006 MacBook Pro to the the display. It changes the connection from the Mac's DVI to fit the VGA connection of my display. There are the four extra pins around the flat pin to the left of the connector.
    Somehow the male end of the mini DVI to the full-size DVI adaptor doesn't fit the female end of the full-size DVI to VGA adaptor! Please see the images. It seems a few extra pins prevent the connection!
    Please See Image at Link:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4bG788QVKGCOIJUkzHcjKg?feat=directlink
    Comment: This is where the problems begin. The flat portion lacks the four holes needed for the DVI to VGA adaptor to connect.
    Is it possible to just remove the four offending pins in the Full Size DVI to VGA Male End?
    Any help or suggestions highly appreciated, because as of now, my brand new MacBook Pro is less useful than the 2006 model, which can connect to my external display.
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi Rob with a Mac and welcome to the boards.
    My suggestion would be that you simply take the adaptor back and get a mini-display port to VGA adaptor instead.
    I ran into a similar problem myself recently when I wanted to connect my own MBP13 to an overhead projector. I had assumed that I could use the mini display to DVI adaptor that I use for the DVI capable external monitor with my new MacBook, combined with a DVI to VGA adaptor that I had for my 2007 MBP, connected to a VGA cable to do the job, but this is not possible.
    MiniDisplay to VGA adaptors for the newer MBPs are readily available at Apple dealers or through the online store and not too expensive.
    Cheers
    Rod

  • Brand New Macbook Pro one of the USB wont recognize device

    Hi, I recently acquired a brand new macbook pro i5 core model for school. It was running perfect and I was so happy with my machine the last few days then suddenly last night my mouse didnt work no more. I thought it was strange so I tried the port that was closer to the power adapter and it worked in that slot. I tried plugging it into it several times again and no luck. I tried restarting my computer, no luck. I tried plugging in my Ipod nano, no luck but works in the other one. I went on here and looked for options. So then I tried resetting the Pram, and the smc, several several times, to no avail. I then even got this thing call usb prober and that didnt make it recognize it either. I am at a lost of what to do. The strange thing is though it WILL run my laptop cooler, it just will not recognize any devices?? Any help without having to go to a Genius would be great, thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your USB port may not be delivering the power it should. The best thing to do would make an appointment at the genius bar and have it evaluated. You are under warranty, and this sounds like it may be a hardware problem that Apple needs to fix for you.
    Good luck!

  • My brand new macbook's wifi "scans" every 2-3 seconds

    purchased a brand new macbook last weekend brought it home to find that the wifi signal scans every 2-3 seconds...and shows me my router aswell as the 5 others that are around me. im told that it was my router but everything else that uses the same router for a wireless connection works great for example: nintendo wii,psp,itouch and my old R.I.P powerbook g4
    so i had googled the problem online before i took it back to the apple store and found that i wasnt the only person with this problem. doing my research, it had told me to try and restart it in safe mode then restart it in reg mode...didnt work. i had read if this doesnt work then the airport card could be installed or not "seated" in the motherboard correctly or the antenna is faulty. being it was still under warranty and there was nothing i could do about checking on installation of the card itself i had taken it back to the apple store where they had told me "we will call you after we look at it"
    well today: Oct 17th i had gone back to the apple store to pick up my computer that i asumed was fixed being it had been there for a full week. i was told that it was still on the "bench" and that they were yet to solve the wifi problem come to find out that they asumed i had opened up the macbook becasu there were screws missing on the left side of the computer.
    i had explained to them that i hadnt removed any screws BUT when i had purchased it i had purchased 2 gb of addtional ram to upgrade the 2gb to 4gb so the computer was taken apprt by THERE tech.
    well anyway to make a long story short there pretty much stomped on the wifi issue ive been having since day one when i brought it home so
    HAS ANYONE GOT AN ANSWER FOR ME???
    it is a black macbook 13.3inch widescreen monitor 10.5 osx/2.4ghz duo/4gb ram/250 gb hd
    when turned on using wifi less then 5 feet away from the router (that works with everything else in the house) comes up "scanning" every 2-3 seconds so i have to wait for pages to load while it does so. what can i do to fix this???????
    -acrim

    if the apple tech at the apple store can't solve it then possibly ship it to apple for another look.... i don't think anyone can help you in the forum if an apple store tech already 'looked' at it...
