Leopard Hard crash and airport disconnect

Hello alll
I have done a erase and install with leopard on my macbook pro 2 twice now thinking it was a installation issue.
My internet connects through a netgear router that worked 100% perfect when on Tiger, but now after random intervals i lose connection to it even though it shows it is still connected to it... i have to turn airport off then on again which sometimes works or i get the screen of death and have to hold down the power button to reboot...
Really hope someone can help
James

Sadly I would love to use this Back to My Mac feature but the problem is staying connected to the internet not using a feature, I'm up to date on software updates and router is on the latest firmware.
So my router is supported but isn't staying connected to the net

Leopard hard crash on Network Location change

When I try to change my network location from the Apple menu, occasionally (like once in approx. 20 changes) Mac OS will crash. It's a hard crash, meaning no menus, no mouse, no nothing. It just simply and fully hangs, and I have to hold the power button down to restart. These seems pretty harsh and I almost never crash.
Generally speaking (though not repeatable) it seems to happen when I come into the office, after having been on my home wireless network. shut the lid, go to work, flip it open, Mac automatically jumps on work wireless. I then go to apple menu > location > choose the LAN wired network and that's when it hangs.
On a MacBook Pro, 10.5.2. Wireless at home is 802.11g, same as work.

Hi Gary;
This is a problem that has been ongoing, no relief yet. Here's the latest and second thread that David Villeneuve started that might give you more info if you haven't already found it.

Hard drive and airport extreme connection problem.

Hi folks,
I have an airport extreme and a WD 1TB pasport for mac hard drive. I had it connected for ages and used it to load movies onto to keep my macbook empty. I had no problems accessing it wirelessly through Finder until today when i configured the extreme to run at 5ghz. When i try to connect now, it tells me that the ip address is wrong but im connected to the extreme for internet. Any clues or solutions?

your Airport Extremes ip address is the red square, Then your going to copy that
So in the red box instead of Http:// we are going to put ftp:// then you should get
a pop up say connecting to server and I hope you do get that.

Hard drive and airport express

Quick question: Can I plug a hard drive (via USB) into an airport express and use it wirelessly? I have this setup with an Airport Extreme. Thx.

No. Only printers. You can connect it to the USB port on an Airport Extreme Base Station, however.

Usb hard drive and AirPort Extreme

I have been using an external usb hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme to store music which is then picked up by a Sonos system to play music even when my iMac is switched off - has been working great. However I became aware recently (and I think this pre-dates upgrading my iMac to Mountain Lion) that my external hard drive no longer shows up as a shared drive within Finder. If I go into Airport Utility / Edit / Disks - 'enable file sharing' is checked. Disk Utility doesn't see the drive but I'm not sure that really means anything as a network drive rather than a drive connected directly to the iMac.
Has some recent upgrade disabled network drives on Airport Extreme's (ie assuming we are all now backing up to iCloud so don't need it)?
Thanks

OK, I feel silly on this one.
After looking for issues with the airport and not finding any and needing a file from my backup drive, I had to connect it up to my PC. That's when I found my solution.
The Drive I had connected had stopped responding. That's why the Airport was not showing it and not allowing connections. I had power cycled the drive a few times while testing, just not long enough. I unplugged the drive for 2 minutes, all cables, then reconnected. After about 5 minutes, the Airport was able to confirm the drive and turned the share back on.
Hope that helps.

Time machine problems w/ external hard drive and airport extreme

Time machine is keeping backup for only 6 days + the hourly backup. When I open time machine preferences, though, it appear that time machine is off. When turning it on it does not show my external hard drive (however, the backup has been running as mentioned above, for 6-day history). When I select other time capsule it shows the airport extreme but nothing can be done from then on.

Hard crashes AND app crashes (with Console logs)

This topic is several months, if not a couple of years, in the making.
I bought two white MBs in July of 07 from the refurbished section of the Apple Store. My wife's needed a trip to the Apple Care depot not long ago, and I'm starting to think mine might, too.
Apps routinely crash on startup. They can usually be relaunched successfully the second time (though sometimes, three or four times is the charm). At the suggestion of a Mac Genius, I began keeping Console running and capturing error logs whenever this happened. I reproduce several of them below.
In addition, I am starting to experience an increasing number of total failures - the multi-lingual screen of death - and while this has happened while working in a variety of apps, one constant is that I'm almost always streaming audio or video. In fact, launching a flash movie has often (though not always) been the immediate event prior to the black curtain falling.
Before I proceed with a repair, I'd like to know if the always helpful Discussions regulars could give me some input. Does this look like a Logic Board or SIMM failure (I did add extra memory purchased from OWC) that could be diagnosed and fixed with the standard $275 Apple mail-in repair job? Thanks.

Have you run the Apple Hardware Test yet ?
Did the problems start after you installed the RAM upgrade?
The multilingual screen is a 'Kernel Panic'....very often associated with failing or faulty RAM...

This other link speaks of insufficient disk space as well as not enough RAM causing apps. to quit..

2010 Macbook pro freezes a lot, but mouse still moves. It unfreezes if you wait. It also hard crashes... Also, weird lines and screen flashes.

I have a 2010 Macbook pro running snow leopard (Mac OS 10.6.8). First off, this has been the worst computer I've ever owned or have heard of someone having, Mac or PC. There hasn't been a time where something hasn't been wrong. I'm going to list my specs, my current problems and maybe list previous problems after that. Any advice or suggestions would be great. My brother works for apple out in Cali and I've been sending him crash and bug reports and he can't seem to figure out what's going on.
Specs:
2010 Macbook Pro (Mac OSX 10.6.8)
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics Cards: Intel HD Graphics (288 VRAM) and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (512 VRAM)
(if you want more info, just ask)
To start things off, my computer hard crashes at random points playing basically any game. StarCraft 2 (when I could play the game prior to Blizzard patching my OS out of the minimum requirements), League of Legends, MineCraft and others all crash while in use. My computer screen suddenly flashes white and then to black and whatever audio may have been playing in the past second of gameplay is thrown into a constant loop. The screen is solid black with no mouse and there is no keyboard functionality. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button. I first started noticing this problem back when StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm came out. I would crash every 4 or 5 games in this way. Since that was happening I resorted to playing other games such as League of Legends. I wasn't having any trouble at all, but gradually it started to have the hard crashing issues. Initially every handful of games, now it crashes in roughly 50% of the games I play. This happens while I have NO other applications open and this has happened even after a complete restart with only 2 things opening at startup. League started crashing in this way after I brought my computer in to have a fan replaced.
Another thing which has started happening since I had my fan replaced at the apple store: My computer has become very sluggish at times and my computer freezes in another way. Many times a day, I will find I click on something in an application and the entire computer locks up. There's no spinning beachball. There's no movement of any sort on the screen and there is no button functionality, but I can move the mouse. Clicking does nothing. This sort of freeze lasts for about 30 seconds up to 5 or 6 minutes or so. After that, it suddenly just decides to work again. I can tell when it unfreezes because the clock in the corner jumps to the correct time. This has happened frequently while using Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari. It also happened while trying to use Skype. It was freezing the most when facebook or youtube has been open, but it happens without that happening as well. One of the first times I noticed it, earlier this year, I was searching for work and tried to go to this website: http://www.nhab.org/ (looking for a job). It froze my computer as I described above (and I didn't know it would unfreeze after several minutes, so I thought my computer was completely frozen). I restarted, went to the same website and it froze again. I did this a third time and it froze again, so I restarted again. On the fourth try, it loaded. The frequency of this problem is ridiculous. I actually decided to delete Google Chrome from my computer (and its support files) since my computer would freeze the most often with Chrome (though I used Chrome mostly for youtube and watching tv shows online). Almost instantly after deleting Chrome, my computer was running significantly faster. things loaded quicker in other browsers and aplications loaded smoother. My text no longer lagged when typing in facebook... It hasn't solved the freezing, though the freezing tends to last less time now.
Another thing that happens, which I am not sure is normal: When my computer is booting, after the grey screen, it changes to light blue. During this light blue time, often times white horizontal centimeter to inch wide bars will flash across the screen near the top. This also happens on shutting down. I also noticed that when it shuts down the screen doesn't just shut off. The screen flickers quick for up to a second and then it is off. It doesn't just turn off.
My computer has also occassionally flashed for a brief fraction of a second, to the blue start up color and back to whatever I am doing.
Those are all issues I am having right now and I am beginning to wonder if this several thousand dollar computer is capable of doing much more than just writing text..
Prior issues I have had:
Right from the start, I have had major graphical issues which I showed to the people at the apple store and they reinstalled flash, but they really didn't know what was going on. These glitches would tiles previous graphical things I had done in an artistic mozaic across my desktop, replacing my background image with broken mozaics. It's hard to explain without showing, so here are 2 screenshots from it:
The people at the store thought it was just flash... but I don't understand how that could be flash. I would have to flip through different desktop backgrounds I used to make it go away. After it doing this for 2 years, it has only happened once since then and not very badly..
Another issue I had: The battery on my laptop just about exploded... I woke up one morning with my laptop sitting on my night stand as usual, but there was a small crack across part of my trackpad. I was scared because I thought I must have done something... I went to the bathroom, took a shower and when I came back the crack was farther across the trackpad. I had breakfast, came upstairs and my trackpad had 1 crack across the whole thing with multiple mini cracks going in every direction from it. After telling my brother what was going on, he quickly said that it was the battery and to take it to a store. I took it to the store and showed them what was happening and they very quickly took it out back and I quote "threw the battery in a firesafe immediately" because when they opened the laptop it started to quickly expand. This ended up cracking my trackpad as well as bending the bottom of the body on the laptop. All had to be replaced...
Then I had the fan sounding like a weedwacker, so I had it replaced a couple months ago and a couple months ago is when the freezing began, the computer started running slowly and all games crash the computer.
I have had a lot of things go wrong, not a lot of things go right and I'm really frustrated. Can anyone tell me how to get my computer to stop freezing or how to make it stop hard crashing during any of the games I play?
Basically, what I have done so far is reset the PRAM I think? I held command + option + P + R on start up and had it chime 3 or 4 times. Other than that, I don't know what to do.... suggestions?

I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation. My computer did have the faulty part you linked to. I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager. Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge. They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test. They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above. I've never had this experience before. Even brand new, I got occasional crashes. Hopefully this new trend continues.
I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow. Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed. Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

Macbook Pro Mid 2014 Hard Freezes and Crashes

So I bought my Macbook about a month ago, and ever since then Ive been having this same issue over and over again. I have tried every solution apple has thrown at me and nothing has seemed to fix it. I have sent it out for a repair, reinstalled the OSX, Cleared the pRam, and various other things. I have not narrowed down the situation myself and cant seem to figure out what is causing these hard freezes and crashes. It always happens randomly at something GPU related it seems. Almost like the video card gets to stressed out at crashes. From scrolling up the page of a website to switching to a different video on youtube, all these little and sometimes big things have caused it to crash. Apple has sent it out for repair and they claimed that they fixed the logic board, but that didn't work because the issue still persists. I have reinstalled the OSX from guidance of a apple care associate over the phone. Ive eliminated almost every possible situation they have given me and nothing seems to fix it. Im not sure if there is a defect in these particular models or I just got a lemon but either way its frustrating. I will post the specs below and provide any other info that is asked.
SPECS:
GPU: Intel Iris Pro
Processor : 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Software: OS X 10.9.4
RAM: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

External Hard Drive not recognised after horrible crash and reformat.

There's yet another problem with my MBP.
First of all this happened: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=969838&tstart=0
Since I got it fixed I bought a 500GB Freecom external Hard-drive and used it to back up all my stuff. It was a case of plugging it into the USB port and it mounted on the desktop. I've had it for about a month.
I've only just got my MBP back from getting the keyboard replaced, then on Saturday night it crashed. And kept crashing. Then it wouldn't boot. Then it crashed when booting. Then it took me to a command prompt. I reset all the parameters laid out in the troubleshooting guide. I managed to boot in safe mode, but my Freecom drive wouldn't mount anymore. But it kept crashing and crashing. I finally managed to boot from the installation CD and I reformatted the drive and installed OS X (Tiger) afresh. But now my Freecom drive won't show up on the desktop at all!
I ran a Hard Ware test after the reformat, and the code 4MEM/2/40000000 came up, then again, 1FCA8574, then 41530574.
When I had the Freecom plugged in it would show in System profiler but not mounted on the desktop.
What is wrong? I am really annoyed because my Warranty ran out yesterday and I'm only after getting it back from Apple to get the keyboard replaced!
Please help!
(PS - I have Leopard on its way to me, would installing this help?)

Not likely with all the bugs and issues going on with it...

CS4 Master Edition & Snow Leopard all crash when saving and exporting

Add this one to the list of suffering CS4 users. My first ever post in my life.
The details - CS4, Master Edition Mac Pro, all did run well on old leopard system.
The story, upgrading and updating to 10.6.1 all CS4 programmes instantly crashed when using save as, save, or export. This happens about 70% of the time.
An erase of the hard drive and fresh install NO UPDATES CS4 was fine, After a couple of days I took a chance and updated the apple software (included is HP printer driver 2.2 and canon printer driver 2.1 included in the update package. almost as soon as the printer driver was around 50% downloaded CS4 started crashing. (photoshop / illustrator / indesign) All updates from apple are now installed and I have to save at almost every stroke I make in CS4 as I have deadlines, and I have fooled around too much with this upgrade. I will not go into the inability of scanning with my HP CM1312nfi MFP (networked), but any resolution there would be nice also, as now I have to scan to the memory card and then network out to the the desktop.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.6.1) Serial - YM90101ZXYL - BUILT 10B504

I tried all suggestions with no real good effect. I spent two hours reinstalling Leopard 10.5 and CS4 Master now all is good and staying good. That proves something is up with Snow Leopard. I will wait for the upgrade and response before I will touch Snow Leopard again. Save your time and money and do not buy or use this operating system yet.

With Leopard, waking my Powerbook it may crash and restart.

Every time I put my laptop to sleep and try to wake it up, it is a crap shoot if it will wake up or just crash and completely re-start.
This is beyond frustrating, this is aggravating and I would rather have tiger back. Least it works. And I won't be losing work daily. Course Apple will just tell us to save more often and that of course they are not responsible. Good to see Apple is taking lessons from Microsoft!
<Title edited by Host to reflect the issue (better responses?) >

First off it would help if you identified your Mac*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#IDENTIFY
Next please tell us how much free hard disk space you have?
Is your data backed up from before you installed Leopard?
Did you check that all your third party software and peripherals are known to be compatible with it?
Are you leading any peripherals connected when the machine is going to sleep?

Ichat starts to open, lingers a second, then 'unexpectedly' quits. I'm in Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I can't find the ichat plist in hte library, even though I've custom re-installed (even the hard way) and downloaded the latest upgrade. Que pasa?

Recent Time Machine and Airport Leopard update causes Kernel panic

I had 15 iMac's in a classroom that were all updated to the new Leopard update for Time Machine and Airport. When they restarted, they all gave a kernel panic error. Successive restarts continue with the screen starting with the kernel panic error message and asking for a shutdown.
I am extremely sure that it had to be those updates because they were all fine before that. I doubt 30 pieces of RAM could have gone kaput all at once. Since we have a dual boot setup, if I press the alt key when I restart, I can boot into the Windows side without any problems.
If somebody has had a similar problem and found a way to do something about the kernel error, please let me know. Thanks in advance. I did the usual zapping RAM and stuff. It didn't help.

Why does my mac mini crash and reboot when I do a time machine backup to a USB Hard Disk?

This is the second time it has happened, the first was with a powered USB Hard Disk, this time with a WD Elements HD.
The first time, it crashed and popped up an alert saying the machine needed to be restarted.
After restarting it continued, then around half way through it crashed again.
It then would not boot as it said the Mac Mini's HD was corrupted.
Tried to repair using the recovery mode, with no joy.
Reformatted Hard Disk, went to recover using online recovery, got a 6002F error and it wouldn't reinstall
Took to apple service centre, they wanted to charge to reinstall the OS (put them straight on that ).
Now it looks like it's doing it again, this time after the first crash I'm just copying the files I need manually to the external Hard Disk, which so far is OK.
Seems these macs aren't so reliable.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Hi den.thed,
thanks for the tips, unfortunately when tryong to start the machine to do a Hardware test (to check RAM) I get the error 6002D so I'm guessing there's something more complicated afoot.
Unfortunatley the service centre here in Malaysia doesn't seem to have any "Geniuses" or indeed any "Comptencies" as it has only just come back from their after they had it for a week.
Makes me want to buy Dell, at least the come to you to fix.
Just in case it's of an help, here's the Kernel Panic that kicked off today's fun.
