Computer Forces Hard Shutdow and applications crash
Two problems:
1. Computer Forces Hard Shutdown - I have to press the power button for 4 seconds and then reboot machine.
2. All of my applications (word, safari, etc) will close out unexpectantly. I have to reopen and I start all over again.
I've had this macbook for almost a year now and have had these problems from day 1. I usually encounter one of the two problems mentioned about during each use. Often, it will happen more than once during a session.
Have you had all the updates done. Random shutdown was a problem for a while on the early MacBook. Did you talk to apple about it.
There are some fixes but you have to contact apple before they can help you.

i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing. For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work. It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly. I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too. I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously. About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working. However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it).
Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances? The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution. Does anyone have any solutions? Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues... -
Crash report aplication what is that ? When shut the computer this Message appeared The application crash repórter Dont Let shut down the computer
Command-Option-Escape does the same as
Apple Menu > Force Quit...
It opens a floating box that lists current major Applications and their status (e.g., Not responding) and allows you to force quit any single Application or re-launch the Finder. -
Lots of hard locks and kernel crashes/oops ["SOLVED"-bad motherboard]
I have been experiencing a lot of hard locks and kernel crashes/oops(es?) lately. This computer has always had random freezes in both WinXP and Linux (various distributions -- including live cds).
Here is my latest crash (from dmesg):
PCI: setting IRQ 12 as level-triggered

I added nosmp and the other parameters at the install/rescue cd's suggestion. I tried using the microcode package (I have a P4 HT) as suggested by someone in another thread.
I've found that the freezes will happen at the beginning of heavy CPU or disk usage (such as compilation or pacman db parsing). The hd is not the original one from this system (it was a hand-me-down), so I don't think that's the problem. The video card is different and the RAM is new. The only components that are still around are:
P4 HT processor (2.60 ghz)
Albatron PX865PE II
Enermax power supply
Any ideas? It also says "bad eip value" when the system has kernel crashes (especially on boot).

======================= -
I have an extensive aperture library on my computer's hard drive and I want to break it up into separate smaller libraries on external hard drives. How do I take projects from one library and add them to another one?
Coastal,
Frank gave you the exact answer to your question.
However, I would like to ask if you are indeed asking the right question. Do you really want different libraries? The implications are that you have to "switch" libraries to see what's in the others, and so that your searches don't work across all of your pictures? If so, then you asked the right question. If not, you may be more interested in relocating your masters to multiple hard drives so your library gets smaller, instead of breaking up the library.

I had Itunes installed on 2nd hard drive and it crashed
I had ITunes installed on 2nd hard drive and it crashed. I tried to install a new copy of ITunes and it keeps looking for the ITunes that was on the one that crashed. How do I keep ITunes install package from looking for the old install.
No reason to. I always a cloned copy of my operating systems so I can reclone it back in case the the one I use dies.

Hello,
I'm trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick). I have 60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and have 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached, which is single partitioned (MS-DOS FAT). It keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space, you must have 28 gig of free space available" Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks for the advice Bob The Fisherman. I'm just reading what turbostar has kindly written and it appears that perhaps, if I take advice from you both, I need to free more space up on the computer's hard drive?
With the external hard drive; would it be advisable to defragment? Know of any defrag freeware for Mac OSX?
Many thanks to you both. -
Open dialog defaults to local hard disk and eventually crashes
Hello everyone. I am working with a client who is running PowerMac G5, Tiger 10.4.8. Here is the issue:
Every time he opens a file in any app (Adobe CS2, Macromedia suite, MS Office, etc) he has to navigate to the file server. In other words, none of the applications remember the last open path, it will default back to Computer > Volumes > SERVERNAME. The same thing doesn't happen if he drills down into a folder on his local hard disk. For example, if he were to open a Word document from /Users/MarkS/Documents/Folder1, close Word, and go to Open (File > Open, Command+O, etc) it goes back to /Users/MarkS/Documents/Folder1.
The other issue is if he tries to navigate back using the recently accessed folders (the dropdown menu in the Open Dialog sheet) then the application crashes (again, this is with any app).
He is connecting to the fileserver via AFP (Windows Server 2003 with ExtremeZ-IP 5), gigabit (on a dedicated switch to his department), and according to him, this issue began some time ago.
The only thing I've tried was to remove his Finder preference file, logged out, logged in, and after recreateding the Finder preference file he had the same results. Just to be sure it wasn't just his account on this PowerMac, I logged in with a different domain account and the same issues came up (i.e. with another user account on that same G5). So it makes me wonder if its a system wide issue.
Any thoughts?
MacBook Pro 1.83, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard disk, Super Drive (nothing special!) Mac OS X (10.4.9)Turned out to be a simple fix. There were old names in the /Volumes directory, which simply had to be unmounted. If they were not unmounted, the GUI would recognize the Apple share, but the underlying system would create a new directory with a "-1" appended to the end, thus confusing the OS and causing the applications to crash.

Hola!
When Mountain Lion was released I upgraded from Snow Leopard. It worked fine for a week, but then once FileVault was enabled, the finder slowed down durasticaly. This continued to become worse over a few days until it froze all together and applications would just stop responding and quit.
Not only that but the last thing that happened was that I would boot up, type in my password, and the computer would start to log in. Then as though nothing had happened, it would return to the login screen. This would happen every time I loged in. I was unable to reach any other screen except the login screen. It wasn't the wrong password, because typing in the wrong password on purpose would result in the password box shaking to inform as such. I called apple tech support, we ran a PRAM zapping, and a number of other procedures to no avail. When I ran the disk utility and verified the disk, it said the file system and all else was just fine. However, it would'nt allow me to verify disk permission nor run any reparing. In the end I had to reinstall Snow Leopard and reinstall Mountain Lion from there.
Wondering if there is a solution already or if anyone else has experienced this or a similar problem.1. Yosemite, but you need to increase the amount of RAM in the computer before it can be upgraded past 10.6.8.
2. The current version of Flash is compatible with 10.6.8; the OS being too old isn’t the cause of that issue.

Hard Drive and IPod Crash at the same time
My hard drive crashed. I had some of the music backed up but not some recent itunes purchases. Also, my Ipod Mini died so I replaced it with the IPod video 30 gig version. Is there any way I can recover the music that I have already paid for? I go to check purchases and it asks for my Apple ID. My apple ID was the serial number of my dead Ipod mini, which I don't have any more and of course don't remember. How can I find out what my Apple ID was for the music I purchased? Some of those purchases are on my Ipod video so can I sink them back into my hard drive, or does Itunes overwrite everything in the Ipod? Thanks for your help.

External hard drives and application help
i am relatively new to the world of computers and what i can do .i'm getting an external hard drive not only to back up my mac but to allow me to add new virtual synths for my music creations ,as i am running out of space on my internal hard drive i want to download applications to the external hard drive .if i do this will i be able to run the application on my mac through my sequencer or would i have to get a new internal hard drive with more storage.for example i'd like to upload omnisphere to the external drive and use the vst through my mac .will this work ? thank you in advance to anyone that can help
Ditto to what Andy said.
You might be better off getting two external HDDs; one as a dedicated data drive for your Home folder and the other as a backup for your entire system. Do not put your data and the backup on the same drive. Putting the Home folder on its own drive will free a lot of space on the int HDD for apps.
Here is how to move the Home folder with all of your data to an ext HDD and have Mac OS X recognize it;
Here is a more detailed version of moving the home folder that I created in the past for this situation;
1. Go to Macintosh HD/Users/shortname/. Shortname is your Home folder and will have a "house" icon. Copy this folder to the ext HDD by drag & drop. When dragging & dropping from one drive to another the originals are not moved, merely copied to the new location. At this point the folder will not have the "house" icon, because it is not yet recognized by Mac OS X as the active Home folder.
2. Go to System Preferences/Accounts. Click the padlock in the lower left and enter your password to unlock the Accounts pane. Control click on your account's name in the left-side column to reveal an Advanced Options in the contextual menu. Click Advanced Options.
3. You will only be concerned with the Home Directory option. This is the path that Mac OS X uses to locate your home folder when you login. It will show the path as /Users/shortname.
Click the Choose button and browse to the Home folder that you copied to the ext HDD in Step 1. After you select the new home folder the Home Directory path should change to something similar to /Volumes/shortname.
4. Click OK on the Advance Options dropdown sheet to accept the change. Quit System Preferences. Restart the computer and login as normal.
5. To confirm that the copied home folder on the ext HDD is now the active Home folder, using a Finder window browse to the folder on the ext HDD and confirm that it now sports the house icon.
6. You have successfully moved your Home folder to the ext HDD, then the original Home folder in Machintosh HD/Users/shortname/, including all of its contents can be safely deleted. -

Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Kernel Panic and Application Crashes when Accessing a Folder
Hi,
I originally posted in the iTunes forum (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=252516&tstart=75) with this problem as it was in iTunes where I first noted the issue. However since then I have discovered it is a system wide issue.
Everytime I try to access a specific folder, my iTunes Music folder, whichever application is accessing it will crash. Finder crashes when trying to view the folder, and other apps will crash when trying to open from or save to that folder. There will be no crash reporter when they crash either. I have also experienced two kernel panics, one when iTunes was playing, and another when Tech Tools Pro was doing its surface scan. The folder is on one of my two FW800 connected external hard drives. The kernel panic looks like this:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002478C8): hfs: block mark free: trying to free non-existent blocks (-1094886590 -1078469906 39039948)

I am not entirely sure as to what this means or how to deal with it. I am able to access the folder via terminal, but there are 2700 folders within my iTunes Music folder and 23137 songs, so it could take me a very long time to find the exact file or folder which is causing me problems. I could potentially have enough disk space should a backup be required but it would be backed up to 3 different drives and would be close. That is assuming of course that I would not experience the same panic when accessing the area. Can anyone help me with this?
Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)The first phase:
Since the Kernel Panic is temporarily a state of suspended animation because of a safe-boot solution, try the next step. This is a pre-caution to avoid any failures during ongoing troubleshooting.
After safe-boot, launch System Profiler and select /Software/Extensions/ directory in Contents (on the left column ) menu. Next, open /System/Library/Extensions/ folder by Go to Folder command or by manual. Compare the both contents. You'll see System Profiler shows less kernel extensions than /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. There are ".kext" files that are not shown in the loaded Extensions directory. If there is a most suspect third-party extension (perhaps FireWire's driver), try removing out of the folder to a temporary made folder on the desktop-- you may be prompted the admin or login password.
The second phase:
TechTool Pro fixed a file structure error in one file on the main drive, and some bad custom icons or bad bundle bits error now lie on on the main and one of your secondary drives, but not the previous problems. Also, you still cannot access that folder, however folders within that folder you can get to just fine, via the Go To Folder command or reveal in finder from iTunes.
Those symptoms appear to suggest that some directories structure and the volume information other than the main drive have lost their consistencies and a directory may be no longer accessible for some reason which happened before or during the Kernel Panic. Techtool Pro 4.0.6 seems to not be able to fix those problems. So if you have DiskWarrior 3.0.3, run it and hopefully fix them. If you do not have it, try the followings.
Connect the external FireWire drive in question, then boot into a Safe-mode. If this does not work well, first boot into a Safe-mode then connect the device.
Launch Terminal utility. Type diskutil list at the prompt. Here is an example to be displayed:
MyMachine:~ Myself$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: type name size identifier
0: Applepartitionscheme *233.8 GB disk0
1: Applepartitionmap 31.5 KB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS MacOSX_HD 70.7 GB disk0s3
3: Apple_HFS Data_HD 162.8 GB disk0s5
/dev/disk1
#: type name size identifier
0: Applepartitionscheme *111.8 GB disk1
1: Applepartitionmap 31.5 KB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS Data21HD 69.9 GB disk1s3
3: Apple_HFS Debugger_HD 41.6 GB disk1s5
Find the disk identifier that points the external device in question. Type sudo fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk1s3 if the target drive would be disk1s3. If the result shows you like below, the symptoms may be fixed.
MyMachine:~ Myself$ sudo fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk1s3
** /dev/rdisk1s3
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
** Checking Catalog hierarchy.
** Checking Extended Attributes file.
** Checking volume bitmap.
** Checking volume information.
** The volume Data21HD appears to be OK.
If the above solution fails, boot into a Single-user-mode and perform the same way as above-- a "sudo" parameter MIGHT not be needed to type.
The third phase:
Start up from Mac OS X 10.4.x Install disc. Launch Disk Utility program. Try repairing the target volume(s) on the external device and then repair the permissions.
If the above solution fails to fix all filesystem problems on that volume, then you may need to abandon hope some file or folder in question to trash it/them. Of course, I do not hope so.…
Also, when I booted into Safe Mode it started up the volume menubar item as usual but I had no sound... Is this normal during a Safe boot?
Certain Mac OS X features do not work when you are started up in Safe Mode. For example, you can't use DVD Player, capture video in iMovie, use an AirPort card, use audio input or output devices, or use an internal or external USB modem.
So it should be no problem on this matter. -
MBP: Failure to sleep, leads to forced hard boot and sometimes overheating
I am new to the Mac world, but it appears as though these are both common issues. I am thinking that my problem is more about failure to sleep properly than the overheating (it wouldn't overheat if it were asleep properly!).
Situation:
1. I have a bunch or a few programs running.
2. I close the lid.
3. It looks like the display shuts down.
4. I put the machine in my bag, which has a furry inside to prevent scratches.
5. I live my life for a while.
6. Later, I find that my MBP is burning up, opening the lid doesn't get the machine to "wake up", the batteries have been drained, and I need to hard reboot to get the machine back.
Anyway, I have read on some groups that the failure to properly sleep is a hardware problem, others opt for an OS upgrade, and one promising lead that suggested I pull the power before closing the lid.
It seems that several of the conversations I've read are old, and my MBP is only 2 months old, so I think I have the latest OS builds. Pulling the power cord seems to not matter. This leaves me with the possibility of a hardware issue... My best guess is that my machine a) can't figure out if it is plugged in or not; b) can't figure out if it is asleep or awake; or c) restarts, even with the lid closed, and without displaying the display.
I suspect that when it gets running again, it heats up, burns the battery down to zero, and forces the OS to crash when the batteries run dry or nearly so.
So, I thought I'd post my dilemma here, and maybe someone who is "current" on this issue on MBP's could suggest a good course of action. I have AppleCare, so it is certainly an option to get the hardware replaced, however, is that going to actually help?
Is this as common a problem as it seems like to me (100% of my Apple MBPs have this issue, even though my sample size is small at 1)?
Are 10% of MBPs afflicted like this or more like 90%?
Will Apple take care of me or will it be a battle?
I really appreciate anyone who can help me out with suggestions on what course of action to take next.
KevinEve, I think you are having the same problem I had. Basically, sleep seems to not be very resilient, and in my case I think it was partially because the machine kept running and then entered a semi-failure state when the battery finally drained out. I think the machine just can't handle running out of power, which is somewhat reasonable. I'd like to see Apple make the machine recognize that it is sleeping, and running out of power, and then automatically deep sleep itself to protect your session...
You can test to see if we had the same problem by doing this when the machine "won't wake back up":
- make sure the power cable is in
- depress the power button for a long time, like 10 seconds to force a hard reboot (it seems weird, because the machine looks like it is off already)
- you may "feel" the machine shut down (I don't know how else to describe it, but you can "tell" that it shut down).
- release the power button
- then, press the power again, as if to turn on
- I think you will find that your MBP has now started back up
So, if you see this problem when your MBP has been sleeping for a while, I think you have the same problem I did. Now, if you deep sleep it (using the widget referred to above) every time you put it away, and wake it up with the power button, I think you will have very few problems.
The only problems I've had since starting this process was that a couple of times, the MBP didn't realize it was quite awake and feel back into deep sleep. This wasn't so bad as you just had to hit the power button to wake it up again. I'm also not 100% sure that there wasn't user error (me!) that caused that problem...
Anyway, give this widget a try and see if your problem goes away. I think you will find that it does.
