Do I have a corrupted Operating System?

I've been having a myriad of issues (listed below) on my 2010 MacBook Pro. Here's what we've done Hardware-related to date:
1) Replaced Logic Board
2) Ran full battery of tests including RAM tests (which all check out fine)
3) Replaced Hard Disk
Computer is still acting up. Here are some random issues:
1) Spinning beach ball, sometimes for 15-20 minutes for no reason when opening a light application like Mail or Safari
2) Computer unresponsive for no apparent reason at times
3) Login screen freezes for 5-10 minutes every once in a while - no mouse/keyboard actions work. Just completely frozen.
4) Can't change certain print settings when printing a document (completely strange)
Do you guys think this is a case of a corrupted Operating System requiring a fresh, clean install of OS X 10.6.6???
Will that fix these issues? I have no idea what else it could be - that would be the last step
We haven't replaced the Memory, even though I think that could be the culprit...

That should usually be your first step. Install a factory fresh OS and use Carbon Copy Cloner (or Disk Utility) to make a clone. Then, if you have some application like anti-virus that is causing all these problems, you can more easily find it.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Symptoms
    After installing the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Update, iTunes may be unable to properly authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases.
    Resolution
    The following steps will delete your network preferences. Most broadband connections do not require any special settings to connect, but if your connection does or if you are not sure, please contact your ISP or network administrator for further assistance.
    Important: You must be logged in as an Administrator.
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go.
    In the Finder window, locate the file named NetworkInterfaces.plist.
    Drag this file to the Trash.
    Restart the computer.
    Once your computer has restarted. You will not be able to connect to the Internet. Now you will need to refresh your network settings to be able to connect again.
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    To refresh your network settings, from the Location pop-up menu, choose New Location.
    Type a name for your location and click OK.
    Click the Apply Now at the bottom right to accept the changes.
    If your network connection requires any special settings, you will need to put them back in at this point. Once you have made these changes you should be able to connect to the Internet again and authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases.

  • I have an Imac  operating system 10.4.1 and Apple Works 6 and am having problems with Aplle Works 6. Is there a place I can download Apple Works 6 onto my computer?

    I have an Imac  operating system 10.4.1 and Apple Works 6 and am having problems with Aplle Works 6. It shuts down before I am finished. Is there a place I can download Apple Works 6 onto my computer free?

    AppleWorks has never been available for legal download.
    Have you done the usual trouble shooting steps:
    Quit AppleWorks
    Delete most or all of the Recent Items list.
    Remove the Preferences files to the Desktop or to the Trash.
    Launch AppleWorks to see if the problems remain.
    You'll find Recent Items in:
    username > Documents > AppleWorks User Documents > Starting Points > Recent Items
    There are several preferences files.
    Go to:
    username > Library > Preferences
    Locate, select and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Still in the Preferences floder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.
    Select and delete the two Cache files and the Preferences file.
    Button Bars is also a preferences file, but may be left where it is IF you have no problems that appear related to the Button Bar, and wish to preserve any changes you've made to the Button Bar.

    Just wondering if I can have a different operating system on an external drive....
    You know have Tiger in the main, and Leopard on an external. I always thought that the you can only do that with the 2 internal drives....
    Thx....

    I believe you can do that, but for an external drive to be bootable, I think it has to be either FW or eSATA.

    TO HP IN RESPONSE TO DOWNLOADING THE LATEST UPDATED AUDIO DRIVER:
    My audio problem is opposite to one of your bullet points. I have a new operating system, sound was working fine, now on skype cannot be heard, iTunes will not load. All were fine before the change over. Over the past few days have gone through every type of troubleshooting offered online, my HP dv1000 came with the problem and I fixed it on the old os, just forget what I did. Recorder not working, etc.

    First off, try downloading the latest Safari. I believe it's 5.1.9.  While you're there download the combo updater for Slow Leopard 10.6.8 to get your system up to the final release.
    If your system generally runs well then it's unlikely that it will be necessary. In any case, it's usually a last resort.

    Although there's nothing wrong with Adobe Acrobat 7 (to the best of my knowledge) you should be aware that OS X may be using Preview instead unless you've specifically designated Acrobat as the default PDF app. I actually prefer it in most cases.

  • HT1329 i have re-installed I-tunes and have a new operating system (Win 7 Pro). I now cannot sync as I-tunes says my I-Pod is already connected to a library and wants to erase my music on the I-Pod. What do i do to get around this problem?

    I now cannot sync as I-tunes says my I-Pod is already connected to a library and wants to erase my music on the I-Pod. What do I do to get around this problem?

    An iPod is designed to be synced with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library, iTunes on the new/different computer will replace the contents currently on the iPod with whatever is currently stored in its own library.
    If the music and content on your iPod is not in iTunes or in a backup somewhere you can use the information in this user tip from another forum member turingtest2 to help you copy this content from the Nano back to the PC and into iTunes.

  • Here is my question: Once my computer downloads updates I get the following line: loginwindow SleepWakeCallback. This has happened several times but now my computer lags so much it feels like I have a windows operating system.

    Please help, The problem started with this string downloaded, and now my iMac acts like it has a windos operating system with all the lag time I encounter. Any help with a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can a mac pro have a windows operating system?

    just wondering if a mac pro be able to have windows it's primary operating system?

    I NEVER use BCA
    Put Windows on its own drive and remove everything
    the only purpose/use for BCA is to download the drivers you will want to have that get installed after Windows is running - it works without also.
    So what I do is pull OS X drive, have Windows 8, data and backup drive, and clone Windows to #4th using Paragon (bootable) or slip ini an old Windows 7.
    Yes can be 100% Windows, and you can have mulitple Windows boot drives, run VMs under Windows also.

  • Corrupted operating System.

    My HP Split 13 x2 will not turn on. The screen says it is scanning and repairing drive (C: 1 % complete. The screen does not move from this spot.  What do I need to do to fix this 1 year old computer?

    Hi there @Colorocks 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.
    I understand that you are haing trouble starting up your notebook, as it seems to be stuck trying to scan or repair your hard drive. I am happy to help you with this.
    The unforunate thing is that it is possible that the hard drive has failed. If I were you I would attempt to recover or backup as much data from the drive as you can before doing anything else, just in hopes of avoiding data loss.
    This page shows some options you can try.
    How to Recover Data from the Hard Drive of a Dead Laptop -eHow.com
    Also, please post the full product number and verify the operating system in use on your notebook. See the following documents if you need help in finding those.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
    With that I can find the correct support information for your device as well as any drivers.
    Obviously as you try to recover data from your drive, you will find out if the drive is the problem or if it is something else, but the main thing at first is to try to protect your data. Once it is backed up, then there are several things you can try.
    Computer does not start (Windows 8)
    Also you assuming the drive is not faulty, and assuming you have previously backed it up, you could try a system recovery.
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
    Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8)
    Here is a video I found on youtube that shows a way to get around the scanning issue, that may work for you.

    Let me know if any of this was useful to you, or if you need any further assistance, or if it is a faulty drive.
