I am having trouble Turning on my MacBook Pro

Okay so I tried uploading some software  specifically it was "smart surfing for Mac" by trend micro. I have had this software for I think over a year and was trying to find out if I could still use it. So installation went fine, loaded briefly then it all went bad. I was about to click and open the new software but my MacBook just randomly shut down. Then restarted with a message that says " your Mac has restarted due to a problem, please wait.." But it just keeps restarting over and over. Like it gets to the login screen but "restarts" before I can even move the mouse to log in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds as if the installed software has created a start-up kernel extension that's giving your Mac fits.
Hold down the Shift key whilst booting to boot into Safe Mode. This will not allow any non-Apple kexts to load. It will be quite slow to start up and slow in operation. Uninstall the software according to the developers instructions. After the software is removed, try rebooting in the usual way.
Call back...

  • I'm having trouble with "maps" on Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone.  It shows my current location and hour away from where I am.  As soon as a move iPhone away from my wifi at home to cellular it shows my correct location.  No help from Time Warner.

    What can I do to get "maps" to work on my Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone when connected to wifi at home.  iPhone "maps" work fine when connected to cellular service. Maps on wifi shows me about 55 minutes away from my current location.  Very frustrating.  I called Time Warne,r my service provider, but they had no answers since they were not knowledgeable of this situation.  Anyone else having problem?  I just updated all devices to newest update.  Is that the problem.

    Did you bring your wireless router with you? If so, it's possible the iPad is getting its location through the router and the router still "thinks" it's where you used to live.
    Try taking your iPad to another location where there is wifi (such as a coffee shop). Then, try an app that uses location services. If it's accurate at another location, then the source of your problem is your router.

  • Still having trouble with audio on Macbook Pro

    I had posted a discussion board earlier on this issue. I've been having trouble with audio for certain videos on youtube and basically any website embedded with a video. The audio works for a few seconds that doesn't or it doesn't work at all. My volume is up, not on mute, and the one on the video isn't on mute either. It's funny because I just tried watching a video on Firefox (as opposed to Safari) and it works. Could it possible be something with the settings for safari?

    Try restarting your Mac, resetting your router, and resetting your modem. My cable internet has gotten slow at times as well, and when I reset my router everything cleared up.

  • I am having trouble receiving email on Macbook Pro running lion.  No problem with cloud mail, but other accounts do not receive mail.

    Trying to set up email on MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.4), I can send messages, but receive only messages sent to my cloud address.  Two other email accounts do not receive messages at all.  Passwords, etc are correct.  Anyone else have this problem?

    I am assuming you are using the mail app.  You may have turned off recieving mail function.  Open up mail.  HIt Command comma to open preferences.  Go into general and set it like this.

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

  • I have a MacBook, iPhone, Airport Extreme and external hdd. What is my best option to stream my music and movies to my hifi set and TV without having to turn on my MacBook?

    I would very much like to store all my movies and music on my external HDD, which is connected to an Airport Extreme. Could for example Apple TV access this HDD and stream either music to my hifi system or video to my tv, without having to turn on my MacBook or iTunes? And use my iPhone to control everything?

    Hello mmadrid13. Does anything happen when you try to power on the notebook? Do you get any flashing lights? Does the charging port light up when the AC power is plugged in? Also, does the AC power adapter have an LED on it? If so, what is the color?

  • I am having trouble scanning to my MacBook

    I am having trouble scanning to my MacBook OS X 10.5.8.  I am using  HP Photosmart C4385 and AirportExpress.  It works to print from the computer, but trying to scan it reads"USB or wireless not connected."  I have also tried connecting it by USB.  Help!

    check the HP seb sire to ensure you are running current drivers. Software update may also print it up.

  • (Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

    Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
    I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
    Let me know if you know why this is happening.

    With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
    Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
    While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
    I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
    You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
    Something you can try:
    System Preferences -> Network
    Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
    Select *Set Service Order...*
    Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
    NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

  • Why do I have to select my network using Network Diagnostics every time I turn on my MacBook Pro and go to Safari?

    Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, before I can use any programs that access the internet (i.e. iTunes, iBank, etc), I have to go into Safari where it prompts me to perform network diagnostics.  (I use a wep encrypted wireless network.)
    During network diagnostics, I select my network and at some point it tells me that my network appears to be working properly and then defaults to the Apple.com webpage.  I then Quit network diagnostics and exit Safari and then I am fine to do whatever I need to in the other programs.
    This is quite annoying and I wish it would just remain on my network without me having to do this every time I turn it on.  Is there some thing I can do or some setting that I am missing that would allow me to avoid this?

    Is your network hidden? See:
    WiFi, Internet problems, possible solutions
    Secure your network
    WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
    Change the name of the network and the password, then connect manually and when it asks to save in Keychain do so.
    If it's still giving problems and it'a not the router, it's the computer, then go through this list.

  • My macbook pro (August 2010) keeps freezing when apple mail starts up. This happens every 2nd time I turn on my Macbook Pro. This forces me to hold down the power button to restart my Macbook Pro. Does anyone else experience this, and is there a fix? Thx

    since upgrading to OS lion, my mac book pro (2010 August) keeps freezing (non responsive, requires restart) when i turn on my mac and the system is trying to open apple mail. while apple mail is attempting to collect new mail, the macbook pro freezes. this happens every 2nd time i try to start up my computer. this only started happening after i upgraded to OS lion. please let me know what I need to do to fix this. being forced to restart every 2nd time i turn on my macbook pro has been very frustrating. not sure if apple mail is also the cause of my macbook pro for being very slow during start-up (on the occasion the computer doesn't freeze).

    I am having similar 'freezing' problems with many programs (Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.). I have done a clean install of Lion instead of an upgrade when it came out. Perhaps something went wrong with my install? I'm thinking about wiping and reinstalling.
