Frozen Macbook. (Only first time)

Today for the first time my Macbook Pro 13" froze up completely. I never thought it would happen and it was quite a shock given the fact that in the month I have had this computer I have not had any issues at all. Being a former Windows user, I dealt with freezes a lot.
Anyway. It happened while watching a video on YouTube. I had paused the video in full screen to do something else and when I returned I was not able to do anything with my Macbook. I tried pressing the keys and clicked the mouse and nothing happened. So using my old tried and true Windows PC trick of holding down the power button, I did so, and restarted. No problems so far, although the first problem with my good ol' Mac was quite a shock.
Could the problem have been caused by Flash Player? That is if there is even a Flash Player on here. I know Steve Jobs and Adobe aren't the best of friends and all his bad mouthing as of late has "sort of" made me understand why he won't allow flash on the mobile devices. Just curious as to why this little freeze up happened since I thought I would never see it on a Mac.
This old Mac has been far better to me than any Windows PC has ever been. But I guess there's a first time for everything. Never thought it would happen though.

I think here you will find your answer.

    Any way to fix this?
    thanks

  • Didn't Charge Macbook Pro first time

    I just got my Macbook Pro a few days ago and started using it the day of. Only later did I realize that I needed to plug it in the first time I turned it on... Is this going to be, or is a problem? Please let me know.
    Thanks

    No, no problem.
    The best extant summary of everything you might need to know about your MBP's battery is this outstanding User Tip:

    As you'll read in that article, draining your battery does NOT conserve its useful life at all.

  • Triggering Invoice Output only first time

    Hi,
    I want to trigger an Invoice output(Email : External Send medium)  only when it is created for the first time.
    The reason for doing this :  The document generated is a contract invoice  and some additional warranty info needs to be in body of the email for the partner types maintained in the contract.
    Also is there a way we can get the Bold Text in the email. I am using some standard texts to build email body and then calling
    SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1u2032 .
    e.g. Contract Number:  12345
    Appreciate if anyone has worked on such scenario.  I am considering  using routines.
    Thanks,
    Rao

    To Issue output only once, do the following setting
    Go to Transaction code NACE -> Select the Application (V3-for Billing -> Click on Output types -> Select the required output type -> Click on View Button -> Remove the Tick mark from the option "Multiple Issuing".
    Regards

  • Send email only first time check box is checked?

    I am trying to set up an article insert form with a checkbox for requesting a photographer. I have it set up to send a photographer request email when the form is submitted and the checkbox is checked. The only problem is that on the update transactions it detects the checkbox checked and sends the email AGAIN. I can't delete the trigger from the update form since it may be checked for the first time there. What I am really looking for is a way to only send the email only the FIRST time a box is checked. Is there a way I might be able to get this to work? Or an easy workaround? Hopefully I am explaining this well. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,
    -Dan

    Hi Dan,
    well, the only workaround I can think of would be adding this checkbox
    (assumingly submitting a Y/N value) to the insert/update transaction, means, to save the checkbox value in an extra (char 1) field named e.g. "email_sent" -- on your update page you can retrieve the current field value from the query and use this "status" as "condition" for sending an email, means, if the field´s value currently equals N, the email will be sent, otherwise not.
    would that make sense ?

  • ThinkPad Edge (Type: 0301GXG) WOL works only first time after connect power

    I´m trying to Wake On Lan, and after some days thinking that don’t work, it works only 1 time. So start all process over again and don’t work. After repeat all steps, I realized that only works the first time you try to WOL after plug the power. If just shutdown from Windows 7 but not Unplug and re plug the power it will not WOL. If shutdown W7, unplug the power, plug the power and use any WOL, it works perfect every time.
    ¿Any idea to WOL without unplug and re plug the power?
    Thank you in advance

    Yes, the display is only supposed to power on if a DVI signal is present. This has led to many customers believing their new displays were dead, until they were told to connect the DVI cable first.

  • Active sync problems / syncing only first time

    Hello!
    I have a Xperia Z3 and everything works fine, except the Active Sync with my one.com account.
    The syncronization only works the first time directy after setting up the account. I can be shure, there is no problem with password or server adress because it syncs (even if it only works once)...
    The next time i try to get new e-Mails the mail app says something like "no connection to the server." (Thats not the original error message, but its translated from the german error message)
    My first attempt was to change the sync interval and tried from push to 10 minutes everything. Did not work.
    I then deleted the account and established it again. Did not work.
    The little syncing symbol next to the selection box always stays grey and does not move.
    Does anyone have the same problem and/or can help me?
    Thanks in advance!

    Glad to hear that you got it working with another client 
    Hard to say what's wrong here as i haven't seen the issue before. But as it says that their ActiveSync support is in beta and i haven't seen the issue before i would suspect there are issues with the server and that it will work also with our client in the future.
    In case yu want to give them more feedback about our client you can refer to this document: http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/support/XperiaInBusinessZ3/Xperia_in_Business-Email_and_...

  • Macbook Pro first-time buyer

    Hello all,
    Recent Windows-to-Apple switcher. Just got an iPhone, but looking into buying a 15" MBP. I know Macs can get pricey, so I was wondering if I could ask the community for some thoughts, since you guys are the ones with the real hands-on experience.
    I'll mostly be using this laptop for browsing, website editing, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Illustrator, etc. (I hear both run fairly slow if the specs are not up to grade). No heavy video rendering with Colour or Motion, but enough for podcasts and vlogs. I'd like to do some minor gaming, but I can use my PC laptop for that, so it isn't totally necessary. I'm also looking for longevity--I know laptops really only last as long as you treat them well, and I've had a PC desktop for almost 10 years that still runs smoother than my current PC laptop. I know that more RAM/faster processor means that I'll be able to run newer versions of OSX for longer periods of time, so I'd like something that can last me for few versions post-Lion.
    Is a 2.0 to 2.2 GHz jump substantial?
    Is there a big difference between 4 and 8GB of RAM for something like PS/FCP?
    Will PS/FCP require a 1GB video card or will 256MB suffice?
    Is it better to get a 750GB hard drive @ 5200 RPM or 500GB @ 7200 RPM?
    If there's anything else I'm overlooking, please let me know. Any thoughts/opinions/experiences would be much appreciated.
    All the best,
    Marc

    Welcome to the "club"
    Is a 2.0 to 2.2 GHz jump substantial?
    Yes, the Radeson 6750M in the 2.2 makes all the difference in the world, I've even turned off my integrated graphics. Dont' even want to bother with the swtich.
    Is there a big difference between 4 and 8GB of RAM for something like PS/FCP?
    64 bit processors and OS, the more RAM the better. No more 32 bit limitations.
    You can get 16GB of RAM for $1500 at Other World Computing.
    Will PS/FCP require a 1GB video card or will 256MB suffice?
    The 256GB is about equal to performance as the lousy Intel integrated graphics HD 3000.
    Is it better to get a 750GB hard drive @ 5200 RPM or 500GB @ 7200 RPM?
    Apple sells the 5,200 750GB in their retail stores, it's not quite as snappy as I like it but with 64 bit processors it's the RAM amount that matters, not as much memory swaps like before with 32 bit processors that drive speed made a bigger difference in performance.
    You can always switch it out later yourself, Carbon Copy Clone to a external drive, option boot off of it, clone back onto the new internal. It's really easy and free.
    Very nice machine the new MacBook Pro's, provided you get the right one.
    I'd advise the high res anti-glare model, it's a laptop and you take it places. No need to fight to see the screen because of the reflections.

  • Pages software frozen for the first time.

    Tried the Pages software again and the entire program is frozen, nothing responds. What's up? Thanks.

    a mouse right clicker problem. i slowed the speed down in universal access mouse options the other day to the point it would not respond. guru son reset it for me today at correct speed and now Pages responds just fine. easy fix.

  • Wi-Fi Connection Works only first time

    I successfully setup my home wi-fi connection without any problems but as soon as I shut down my iPod touch and turn it back on, it will not re-connect. I have to manually set it up each time. My wireless router is set to not broadcast the network name. Does that have something to do with it?

    I think that you have probably answered your own question. People who seem to have WiFi issues either do not broadcast their network name and/or do not broadcast their SSID.
    I broadcast both, use WPA2 encoding and have not lost a Wifi connection to my home network for several weeks.

  • ValueChangeListener in Radio Button not acting after first time

    Hi,
    I am using ADF-BC-JSF in Jdev 10.1.3.3. I have a page on which there are 2 radio buttons which show blank at first. As soon as a user selects a radio button, the valueChangeListener calls up a method in the backing bean that opens a dialog for the user. User enters some text in to the dialog and clicks OK after which the window closes. If the user clicks Cancel on the dialog page, the window is still closed but radio button value is reset to blank through javascript. the problem is that it works only first time. second time it tries to autosubmit but only the constructor of the backing bean is called and not the actual function to open the window. Following is the code snippet that may be helpful.
    Radio Buttons

  • I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen

    I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen since the first screen. I did the start up, but using the comands on the keyboard. I think the laptop is configured to blind people. I just got at the desktop, but the mouse is frozen.

    If this is a new machine, you have 14 days to return the machine for an exchange or a full refund. Your trackpad should work out of the box and what you're seeing onscreen may very well be settings for the partially sighted.

    I just started my Macbook air the first time, connected it with my wlan and know it asks me for a password and it does not accept the only password I know, what can I do?

    It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.
