Crashes on MacBook pro, hardware problem?
I write here because I think this might be related to a hardware problem.
I was experiencing problems with my MBP. The main one was that sometimes, an application crashed, and when I tried to switch to another one, it crashed as well, and after all everything crashed, one by one. I tried upgrading to snow leopard, no luck. Fresh install of Snow leopard and migration assistant: no luck. Fresh instal of snow leopard and migration assistant WITHOUT APPS, only my user account, and after I installed just adium, dropbox, and my firewire soundtrack driver, it happened again the same thing (have to say that everything else was smoother in performance) I don't think it has to do with soundcard, because problem was there before I got it. I suspect that is a problem with access to hard drive (apps cannot access it) or maybe with bluetooth (it happenned sometimes that when pairing a bluetooth device, system crashed).
Any advice?
It's a RAM matter, but I don't know if it's the RAM module or the socket where it's placed. If have 2 modules of 1 GHz. When I try them keeping just one of them, module 1 works fine in both sockets, but in the lower one it eventually crashed, with a video scramble and only the mouse working fine. Module 2 doesn't work at all in the lower socket. First I got a kernel panic, just when booting. Second time and afterwards I couldn't even boot: black screen and the sleep light blinking three times, so it's not a temperature issue (no time enough to heat).
Module 2 it's working (for the moment) fine on the upper socket, and it's what I'm trying now. Do you have any clue to find out if it a socket/motherboard issue or just the RAM module is deffective?

ITunes Freezes/Crashes On MacBook Pro When Connecting iPad
iTunes (v10.7) crashes on my new MacBook Pro Retina (OSX 10.8.2) almost all the time when I connect my iPad Retina (IOS 6.0.1). When i connect via USB, iTunes comes up but the iPad does not appear as a recognizable device. This problem started about a week ago and prior to that there was no problem connecting. What can I do to correct this problem? Is it related to iTunes 10.7? Is it related to a MacBook Pro Retina problem? Is it related to an OSX 10.8.2 problem? Is it related to an iPad Retina problem? Is it related to an IOS 6.0.1 problem?
I have tried using a different iPad-to-Mac USB cable to connect with no success.Turns out all I had to do was reboot the Mac and the problem was cleared.

Flash player crashing my macbook pro
I have a late 2007 mbp 3,1.
Playing flash video *always* crashes my macbook pro, not immediately but after a few flash player clips. It does not crash the browser but the whole system, and I get a gray screen telling me in different languages I need to hold down the power button to turn off and restart my mac. I have spent hours trying to track down why this happened but to no avail.
The *only workaround* I know is to use the flash player marked flashplayer10r45_2. I have tried all other versions and even excitedly all beta versions, but this problem remains unresolved. And now Firefox 4 won't even accept this version anymore.
- Is anyone else experiencing this?
-- Do you have a workaround? (one to force FF4 to use the old player or to prevent crashes with any player)I seem to have solve my issue and wrote it up here http://submanifolds.blogspot.com/2011/04/coolbook-on-macbook-pro-15-22-ghz.html
Long story short: I use coolbook, and my settings worked for all programs under heavy loads, but not for flash content, I think that switching cpu frequencies went a little too fast and the cpu voltage switching could not keep up, but this is just a guess. I solved it by increasing the voltages for the upper frequencies a bit and now my computer does not crash anymore when playing flash. The flash plugin does crash occasionally, but I consider this normal since I have never seen it crashing on its own without taking down the whole system with it.
I hope this helps (anybody) -

Safari 5.0.6 repeatedly crashes. MacBook Pro 10.5.8 I've emptied cache and reset to no avail. I've tried solutions found in other threads but the more advanced don't seem to apply to me. Help, please.

How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp Assistant or did you use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
If you used Bootcamp Assistant, did you download and install the Windows Support software (drivers) in accordance with the Bootcamp instructions? -
Recently, PS CS5 keeps crashing my MacBook Pro as soon as I start working.
Lately, PS CS5 seems to be the villain crashing my MacBook Pro 10.6.8. It doesn't happen with other software. I have run Diagnostics which didn't find any issues. I have upped the RAM on PS to almost 95%. I am thinking of buying new RAM but would like to avoid that if I can. thx.
Reboot the computer holding the option key (just like Capt Fred says) select OS X Lion as the Startup Disk in System Preferences
If you select the Startup Disk of Lion and reboot and still have a issue, it's likely you have a corrupt System Preferences plist file and it's not saving your changes. Please report that if's your issue, I'll show you how to recreate that file again.
You can also
Reboot the computer holding the command (4 leaf clover looking) and the r keys down, you'll boot into the Lion Recovery Partition.
You can use Disk Utility to select and First AID >Repair and Repair Permissions.
See if you can boot normally or not. If not then:
For File Recovery
Your going to need a blank external hard drive equal too or slightly larger than your internal drive.
Your also going to need a strong, fast, stable Internet connection to re-install Lion from Apple's servers, and your AppleID and password.
Hold command r and get into Lion Recovery Partition and use Disk Utility (careful) to select your external drive
Erase>Security option > Zero all Data, wait as it takes sometime to finish and checks the drive.
The Partition tab > click box, 1 partition, option GUID, format OS X Extended Journaled and give it name "External Lion" and click Apply.
Next Quit Disk Utility
Install Lion onto the external drive reboot the computer and hold the option key down, select the external drive to boot from and setup the same user name as before on the internal drive.
Now access the internal drive of Lion and grab your files.
You can use the same procedure to erase Lion on the internal drive and reinstall Lion, all your programs and files from the external drive. -

Outlook 2011 slow, clunky and keeps crashing with macbook pro os x 10.8.4 - any hints?? ta
You might look in your User Library for Outlook .plist(s). They probably start with com.microsoft.
Quit Outlook.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist(s) to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible. -

I have a late 2011 15", 2.3 GHZ intel core i7 macbook pro with 16GB of ram. I recently partitioned the computer using bootcamp and before doing this had the computer upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.5 . In order to partition my computer we had to restore it to factory settings so there is almost nothing on here.. my safari and google chrome were crashing before all these changes and my computer was sometimes "restarting because of a problem". I think most times that it did this I had safari or chrome up and running or at least open in the background. I also recently had someone test my hard drive and nothing is wrong with that so I believe this is some sort of software problem.
Now my google chrome works as long as I am not signed into my account, but safari is un-usable. It crashes and then makes my computer "restart because of a problem." the computer seems to be fine besides these web browsing issues.
I have disabled my extensions for safari but none were listed to disable anyways. I have the lengthy crash report from a recent crash and will post if needed.
Thank you!Thank you for your response!! I will definitely try that out. Here is the error:

Disk problem in MacBook Pro (hardware or corrupted files?)
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a 15" MBP 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3 GB RAM (added 1 to the original setup.)
A few months ago I replaced the original 120 GB hard drive, as it was getting full and making my computer slower. The new one is a 350 GB 5400 rpm Western Digital drive. I did this myself, following the instructions in ifixit.com, as I have done it in the past with other machines, including my wife's MBP, that is working fine.
In the first OS install I used migration assistant and recreated the original user exactly as in the old disk. After a couple of months of use the computer started to get slower and presented permission problems that didn't seem serious (used Disk Utility to check). After a while, there was also a report of problems on disk verification, that at one point couldn't be repaired with Disk Utility. I was able to get rid of the problem for a while using Disk Warrior, but at some point the disk problems appeared again and I had to do a new OS install from zero.
This time I formatted the hard drive writing zeros to correct possible physical errors and did a clean install. Used migration assistant to copy only my user's documents and library. After a couple of weeks of running the laptop without problems, I am having again reports of disk errors that Disk Utility can't repair. Disk Warrior can't access the drive and Tech Tool Pro reports 72 bad sectors.
My question is:
Is this definitely a hardware problem that will be solved by replacing the hard drive again, or is it possible that this is being the result of some corrupt files on my user's library (as the problem only appears after a while)?ign wrote:
Is it normal that the drve appears to be OK after an OS install and that the physical problem only appears after a while?
If you zero it, yes. That's exactly what zeroing does, "mapping" the HD so bad sectors/blocks are not used. But if a HD is dying, more bad areas will show up. It's time to replace the HD. -
Lion 10.7.2 Constantly Freezing Crashing on MacBook Pro
I am at my wits end! My MacBook Pro (MacBookPro2,2 2006) is constantly crashing and/or freezing. Everything was perfectly fine until I installed the 10.7.2 update. Then things started to get progressively worse. Now I can't go 15 minutes without the system freezing up or crashing. It crashes 20 times a day or more and is completely unusable at this point. I really need to get work done and don't know what else to do.
It doesn't seem to matter what applications are open. I thought at first maybe it was Safari or Mail but I've had it hang or crash with just the Finder open. Sometimes it just freezes up yet, if iTunes is playing music, the music will continue to play in the background but you can't interact with anything. Sometimes the mouse pointer will still move and sometimes it won't. Sometimes I'll get the spinning beachball of death. Other times it will just instantly restart on its own. A couple times the screen just rolled to grey then died. I never get a crash report that I can post or send to Apple.
I am very technically proficient and have done absolutely everything I can think of at this point including:
* Resetting PRAM.
* Repairing disk permissions and running a disk check
* Ran TechToolPro and everything came back OK.
* Updated all software and removed any weird kernal extensions.
* Unhooked any attached peripherals.
* Tried different networks or switching to wired ethernet.
* Logged in with Shift key down so no extra software loaded.
The ONLY thing that seems to work is starting up in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key at boot. Which is what led me to think that maybe some rogue kernal extensions were to blame but I removed all but the blessed Apple extensions. Safe Mode loads only the most basic system software so is not very usable. The fact that it runs OK here makes me believe it must be a bug in Apples 10.7.2 update but who knoes what part since so much of the OS is not loaded in Safe Mode.
I've also tried running Apple Hardware Tests (AHT) but can't get it to run for the life of me. I followed another postwhere we copy the .diagnostics folder into /System/Library/CoreServices from the original software discs that came with the computer but holding down the "D" key on startup still doesn't invoke the tests. Won't run off the CD either. I get some weird circle with a slash through it. Going to take it in to the Genius Bar tomorrow and have them run the hardware tests. I'll report back after but I don't feel too sure they're going to have a good answer.
A side issue now is that, after all this, my MacBook Pro takes over half an hour to boot each time. It appears to be doing a Safe Boot no matter what even though I don't hold down the Shift key at startup. I always get the progress bar under the Apple logo and I think it is doing a fschk each time. But when it finally comes up it's not actually in Safe Boot mode. It never used to do this and I can't get it to stop. With all the crashes and now this incredibly long startup each time I'm about to throw this thing out the window.
I've read hundreds of other posts across the Internet with like experiences but no good answers. A lot of people seem to think it is an Nvidia graphics card related issue or a discrete graphics issue but my older machine doesn't have swithable graphics and it's card is ATI. But I do sometimes get strange graphic artifacts on the screen before it crashes and some Apps have lines through their interfaces so I'm wondering if the latest system update screwed up graphics drivers?
I'm posting here in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help me!!! I think Lion 10.7.2 has serious bugs and is one of the worst updates Apple has ever released.
Is anyone else having similar problems and does anyone out there have a solution?!!FINALLY got Lion to produce a crash report during one of these disasters. Like my gut was telling me this seems graphics driver related. Here it is:
