Can't remember the last time I shut down properly!

Well, my story may be similar to others around here so I will make it quick. I got my MBP 17" 2.33 Core 2 Duo last December, and all was running smooth as it should. During this time I had also bought myself a Netgear 802.11n router and some 11n PCI cards for some PC's in the house. So when the update became available for the macbook pro to enable 11n wireless networking, I jumped on it. Probably a little too soon I'm guessing as a result of the problems I have had since.
I have been keeping everthing up to date, such as the airport 2007-002 update, 10.4.9 update etc etc. But I honestly cannot remember the last time I have shut this thing down because the system will lock up at random intervals, when doing different tasks, and I am forced to hold the power button until it turns off. I can't imagine doing this over and over is doing the macbook any good, so if anyone has a solution to this drama and how I would go about doing it that would be awesome. Thanks

Been waiting all evening for this, haha, but yes it crashed again. I had connected to my PC drive for the sake of stress-testing, streamed some video etc from it but it seemed to do fine. And I just left that open for the rest of the night. That connection eventually dropped but I am pretty certain that was due to the the computer going to sleep.
About half an hour later it crashed, MSN locked up/signed out and i got the beachball when moving the cursor over the top right bluetooth/network/vol/batt buttons. Below is a section of the log from when i started monitoring it (i didn't include all the start up jargon) up until it crashed. Hope this can help you help me, thanks.

  • Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. any suggestions?

    Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner.  Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down.  Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.

    This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
    I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake.

  • How can see when the last time you downloaded an app was?

    I Want to see when the last time a certain app was downloaded on my phone.

    I got the last ~10 logins on the computer, but not the last time a specific user was logged in.

  • How can I remember the last place I browsed? When I return to the main page it would be great if a marking of some kind would show the last place I browsed.

    When I return to the main browsing page after checking a site it would be great if the last place I checked would highlight on the main browsing page or have an indicator of some sort to let me know.
    When returning to the Browsing page it is difficult to remember which link I clicked on and have to guess or start over again so can someone let me know how to do this if it can be done?
    Can't remember but I think that you can do this with Internet Explorer.
    Thank you.

    I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but firefox calls favorites bookmarks, and has a variety of methods of making, sorting and displaying these, it also stores your 'history' and lets you see that or use it in the location bar search.
    Have a look at some of the following
    * [[Bookmarks]] <-- coloured text is a clickable link --
    * [[Location bar autocomplete]]
    *[[Browsing basics#w_retracing-your-steps]] <-- this is a long article it will scroll up and down once opened

  • Firefox 9 does not load my last viewed webpages from the last time I shut it down

    When I would shut down firefox 8, it would save my last web pages I was on. When I came back and started firefox again, they would load up.
    With firefox 9 they do not do that, I originally left the settings alone from version 8 and it only load the About:home page, without the Restore Previous Session button, and it is greyed out in the History Menu

    Hi abels27,
    Have you looked in ''Tools > Options > General'' to see if your startup page setting has been changed? There is a setting in there that asks what you would like Firefox to do on startup. In your case, you should set it to ''Show my windows and tabs from last time''.
    If that setting doesn't fix the issue, you might want to take a look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • After ressetting smc my rmbp can't enter the system. It shuts down just at the loading interface.

    need help!!!
    I saw some article online which suggests to resolve the gaming fps problem by ressetting smc.
    so I resset the smc, and enter the system once, found the terminal cannot open, the mail cannot quit and I cannot visite the Internet while I can connect to my wifi. so I force shut down my macbook, and followed the situation as I described above.

    I do boot to the recovery HD, but cannot make the disk repaired: somewhat node is broken as far as I know it is a file system structure. And the Disk Utility asked me to format the disk.So I did, reinstalled the os x system and got all my photos lost. Because I have never used time machine, now I have a new problem to find the treasure pictures back. Hope you can help!!!

  • How can I unlock the remote desktop to shut down my MacBook Air?

    Hi sunburnhaven,
    I understand that you may have applications that are unresponsive. If the applications are still running, they may be preventing your computer from shutting down. Here is some information on how we can quit those applications:

  • Why does apple keep asking what my apple id password is when i open a app? and when i don't have wi-fi, i can't open the either. it just shuts down.

    hi my name is vitrieh kromontono.
    i have a problem with my ipod touch 5th generation.
    thank you.
    regards,
    vitrieh kromontono

    Likely yo have an app  or other iTunes medai trying to download or not completly downloaded.. What happens when you enter the password when connect to wifi?
    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunesd and App stores and sign out and sign back in
    - Sync to your computer
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • The on off button no longer works on my iPhone 4s. If I update my iOS will my phone turn itself off as part of the process? If it does I won't be able to turn it back on so I need to know but can't remember from last time!!!

    Will my iPhone 4s turn off as part of the process of updating my iOS? The on/off button on my iphone doesn't work so I can't allow my phone to run out of battery or turn off because I will not be able to turn it back on.

    Ok here is a nuance
    Try it - when your phone locks
    Insert the charging cord which is connected to a power source on the other end  - wait about a minute - and then take it out
    The screen will "wake up"
    That is always your way out
    I use assistive touch as well to lessen the wear and tear on my home button
    Sleep mode is what your phone does when you are asleep

  • HT201269 How do I see the last time my phone was backed up?

    My iphone has gone dark. I was planning on getting a new phone but I can't turn my old phone on to transfer data. How can I see the last time my phone was back up?

    If you back up to iTunes, open iTunes on your computer.  Go to Preferences (from the leftmost item in iTunes' menu bar), then choose "Devices".  The backup time will be shown there.
    If you back up to iCloud, you would be able to see it on your iPhone, but since you can't turn it on, I don't think there is another way to find it.

  • Hangouts causes Chromium/Chrome to not shut down properly

    Every time I run Chromium or Chrome after logging in, I get an error saying that the program did not shut down properly, and it asks if I would like to restore the windows that were loaded when it did not shut down properly (even though I shut the app down like normal every time). I have narrowed this down to an extension issue, and the problem only being with Hangouts. If I disable the official Hangouts plugin, the problem stops, but enabling it again will cause the problem to start again. I only get this error if I log out of my user account and log back in, or if I reboot my computer. It actually doesn't seem to cause any functional problem, it's just a bit annoying.

    @gnunn thanks a lot, that is actually what I was looking for. Temp fix anyway.

    This is a bug that has existed with Chrome and Arch for about the last 3 months. Not sure if the bug is within Chrome or GNOME. I just press that Restore button every time but it is damn ugly.
    PS Edit: I just remembered somebody, possibly on this forum, suggesting the problem was within systemd or gdm not waiting long enough for Chrome to shut down.
    I don't think that's the case here. The OP said he has the problem even when closing Chromium manually.
    FWIW, I'm on Gnome 3 and I can confirm that closing the browser using Ctrl+Shift+Q works (i.e. no "restore" option afterwards, all tabs automatically restored) but shutting down Gnome without closing Chromium first causes the "restore" option to appear next time.
    Still, Gnome does not close it properly, although disabling the Chrome/ium background operations will fix the problem, it won't address the problem on its own.
    I wonder if this is stuff that Gnome devels need to be aware of.

  • HT1212 If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If I never synced to itunes and I restore the device. Will I lose unstored data? How can I check to see the last time my phone was backed up if I forgot the passcode to my phone?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone.  If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased.  No way around this.

  • I wish I could remember what exactly happenned the last time I upgraded iphoto years ago, but something

    I wish I could remember what exactly happenned the last time I upgraded iPhoto years ago. Did my address book go kaflooey? But whateverit was, it discouraged me from any updating eversince.  Believe it or not, I have been limping along with Iphoto 6.0.6 and basically faring fine, given my needs.  But I would now like to be able to order prints from my photo library -- and you can't do that any longer with 6.  So my question is:  what are the things that
    can go wrong with the later systems?  And is there any way around having that happen?

    Make a back up.
    Make a second.
    Upgrade. Get on with your life.

  • How can we update the last synchronization date and time..on SUP in sccm 2012 R2

    Hi,
        Can you any one please guide me how can i update the last  synchronization date & time in SUP on SCCM2012 r2 , some how its updated as future date and when ever i try to synch the SUP with disconnected WSUS its shows in the wsyncmgr.log 
    "Wakeup for a polling cycle " and  " Wakeupby inbox drop" and "Wakeup by SCF change"  
    Thanks 
    Balaji K

    You'll probably have to call CSS on this one as this not normal by any means. The messages you noted above are completely normal but if that's all you are seeing then there's an issue.
    Have you reviewed wcm.log and wsusctrl.log?
