I'm having multiple problems with my MacBook Pro, HELP!

I'm having quite a few problems with my macbook, such as:
-when I click on something from the dock it opens up the applications folder
-my keyboard is acting strange, when on safari the buttons act like shortcuts eg while typing it highlight file or edit print options come up or bookmarks
-when I click on a link on safari it opens up in a new tab
Please help, much appreciated

  • Having multiple issues with my MacBook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro that I purchases new January 2013. I upgraded from Mountain to Maverick about 2 months ago, with no problems.
    About 3 days ago it started acting up. It started with my not being able to open Safari, although a few hours later I could, but then the next day and since I have not been able to again. I am unable to open several other programs, such as any adobe (illustrator, photoshop, InDesign, etc.). My anti-virus program is responding (I use Web Root). The speed has drastically reduced, as well... very sluggish, which I suppose is not surprising.
    I, also, am not able to restart or shutdown properly. Last night I forced a shutdown because absolutely nothing was opening. Today, I was atleast able to open Finder and other basics, such as Reminder. However, I just went to see what other's I may be able to open and now just Finder will. I cannot give specs because boxes will not stay open. They just open for about half a second.
    I apologize if I am all over the place. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
    PS. I believe the reason the few things that would open before are only flashing for half a second is because it is still trying to shutdown. When I tried to force a shutdown, it said that it is already shutting down, which it's been doing for about an hour now.

    Unfortunately, I think that the fact that you mentioned the presence of anti-virus software has dragged this discussion a bit off course. As you say that WebRoot has been installed for a year, while the problem just started recently (and not right after upgrading to Mavericks), I don't believe that the anti-virus software has anything to do with it.
    As for what the problem might be, my best guess for something with such a sudden and unexplainable onset is a dying hard drive. Do you have backups of your data? If not, that could become a very serious problem. First priority needs to be figuring out a way to back up your data.
    Once your data is backed up, check the hard drive's SMART status:
    If it checks out fine (ie, says "Verified"), try repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.

  • I'm having multiple problems with Lion.  Please help!

    I downloaded Lion on the first day or release and it has been a very frustrating experience.  Today,  I reinstalled Lion hoping a fresh install would fix my woes but the problems persist. I'm in desperate need of advice and would appreciate any help from the gurus out there!
    I have a 24" iMac with the following specs:
    Problem 1)  Ever since I installed Lion Safari is a nighmare.  Roughly 30% of any given website loads.  Below is a screenshot of www.apple.com:
    Problem 2)  No matter how many times I uncheck "restore windows after closing application" my mac opens EVERY window that was open previously. For example, I do a lot of graphics work and use Preview as my image medium.  Every time I open Preview 100 + images load unless I go through each one of them individually and close each window.  *****. 
    Supposed solution: 
    What Preview looks like each time I open the app:  100+ Images
    Problem 3)  Even with 4 gigs of ram my Ram is constantly ran into the ground ever since the upgrade and my computers performance is in the gutter.  I have to constantly use "MemoryFreer" to free ram which is sometimes down to 14 MB free out of 4 Gigs.
    PLEASE HELP!  Thank you!

    TBH, Lion is a bit of let down, regardless fo whether there are issues present or not on your particular setup/system etc.
    If a clean install has not fixed the issues above, I would be tempted to appraoch a Genius Bar and show them the problems. This may be faulty RAM and something that needs to be demonstrated, before a fix or repair can be considered.
    Best of luck.
    Yes you are correct, and as the OP did, questions are asked and other users try to answer. As for the poster I answered, he did not ask a question, but expressed extreme disappointment which he is entitled to do, therefore I suggested he have a read through some of the other threads to perhaps address whatever issues he is having. As you say it could be faulty RAM or a bad installation, or a hundred things inbetween. That is why you need to hunt down similar symptoms to narrow it down. Or if you are under warranty, let the Apple Store fix it.
    Good Luck

  • Hello i have some problems with my macbook pro

    hello i have been having some problems with my macbook pro. for some reason it takes a very long time to turn on and once it gets to the password login it doesnt let me type the password.. but after about an hour or so it lets me log in..

    chrism15_15,
    is Mac OS X 10.6.8 what you currently have installed on your MacBook Pro? Do you still have your two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro?

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

    Hi, all!  I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell.  The script below does the following:
    1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
    2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
    3.  If a global folder, prompts for the name.  If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier.  I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
    is used differently later on in the script.
    4.  Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
    5.  Creates the folder.
    6.  Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
    7.  Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

    My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold.  Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
    First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder.  I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect.  Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
    into Powershell, they work as expected.  I've tried the following methods:
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    $FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
    $FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    $FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
    $BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
    $BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
    In the second case, I get the following error message:
    Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
    At C:\Users\tesdallb\Documents\FileServerBuild.ps1:110 char:5

    +     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : IdentityNotMappedException
    This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account.  I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error.  I've
    also tried the solutions given in this thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
    My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated."  I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
    the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
    My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
    As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
    again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
    get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    # Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
    $GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
    $SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
    # Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
    $GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
    $SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule.  It's been working fairly consistently.
    Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though.

    If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
    You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.

  • Hi, i've just got a problem with my macbook pro: I bought it two years ago and suddenly, it stopped working. Im freaking out. No answer from the people hwo suposed to know about these problems. Any tip??

    Help!
    i had a problem with my macbook pro: on tuesday 16th (agoust, 2011) I went to a friend's house and show her some document i had in my computer, then i turned off my mac and it asked me: "there are some actualizations available, do you want to update before turn off?" i clicked on yes, waited for update and then the macbook turned off. When I got back home, I tried to turn it on again.... but nothing: it didn't sound baaaammmmm as allways, it didn't reacted. I tried again, but useless.
    The next day i went to one of these "authorized management centers", but they coudn't say anything or do anything about it. First they told me the problem was the battery, then the hard disk, then the video card... but don't. I left my mac there by two weeks, hoping they could help me, but they didn't. So I picked it up and go to other place.
    The rare thing is that i have just two years with my mac, and i didn't do anything stupid on it (didn't fall, get wet, microwave, hot, shocked, hit or anything) It just stopped working. Two times it turned on. But if not, it's the same story:
    When i pushed the button to turn on, sounds like baaaaaammmm, but then again, and again, and again, and the screen doesn't get blue or anything, it appears a foder with a "?" and then the computer turns off...
    Im wondering if this is a problem on this computers, because some of my friends told me things much like that that happened with their macbooks.
    What's going on??? why this is happening?? cn you help me?

    have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor.  Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
    The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner  in a strip including all that left hand.  When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal.  But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
    It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode.   My large flat screen is relatively new.
    The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
    Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.
