I know what that is - it's a Kernel Panic. But I don't know how you fix it. Sorry.

    How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

    You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if that will help. And "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility.
    Have you got Keychain set to open on Login or is it attempting to open on it's own.

  • One user freezes after login

    One user on my computer (G5 1.6Ghz running 10.4.11) freezes after login. All the desktop items appear, as does the menu bar. But within a few seconds of this, the spinning beachball appears and everything becomes unresponsive (including force quit). If I login while holding shift everything works fine.
    All the other accounts are working normally.
    What should I do? I've removed everything from login items, but it still freezes.

    Thanks for this. I did all this, but it still did not help. I then tried totally uninstalling little snitch, and the problem went away. After installing the newest version, everything seems to be working again.
    Seems odd as I've been using little snitch (version 1.x) for years with no problems. Using 2.0.4 now and all is fine, so I'm happy.

  • Macbook pro freezes after login

    I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15" with a Core i7 2.66GHz processor. Sometime after upgrading to Lion, I started getting the spinning beachball of death just after login. Unlike many posts about freezes on similar MacBook Pros, mine is not freezing before login, but after. I start the machine, login, and then if I try to open any application, the beachball appears and I have to do a hard shutdown with the power button. Then if I restart again, it is usually fine. I was able to fix this problem some time ago by deleting a preference file (plist) for one of my apps (I think), but the problem has surfaced again and I cannot remember how to correct this. Anyone having similar problems, please let me know if you've had any luck fixing it. I am running 10.7.3 (in fact, it seems like the problem may have resurfaced just after the update to 10.7.3, but I'm not sure.)
    FYI, I have auto graphics switching off and am still experiencing this problem.

    Don't worry about the auto graphics switching. Go to "Users & Groups" in system preferences. Then click on login items and removes all of them. I haven't pinned down exactly which one was causing the problem but I suspect it was one associated with my HP printer.  I have verified that Dropbox and Magic Menu from StuffIt are OK to leave in the login items.  Just remove what you have there and add them back in one at time (if you can't live without them) until it starts to give you trouble again. Let me know if this helps.

  • MBP Freezes after login

    Used Firefox, when suddenly the computer was unresponsive.. so had to hard boot.
    Now when i startup it freezes after approx. 20 sec. after the login is shown.
    If i don't login the computer freezes at the login, and if i login finder freezes.
    There is no problem when starting in "safe mode"...
    Anyone have a solution to what i can do??
    Regards
    Jens

    I had the same issue as all of you guys. Here is what really worked for me and though of sharing with you
      Just as you could before, you can boot into Yosemite’s Recovery partition by holding down Command-R at startup, and in the OS X Utilities window that eventually appears, click Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue. This launches the OS X installer, which will download a fresh copy of Yosemite and install it on your startup volume.
    Alternatively, if you no longer have the original Yosemite installer that you downloaded from the Mac App Store, you can get another copy by selecting App Store from the Apple menu, clicking on the Purchases link, and clicking Download next to the OS X Yosemite entry.
    If the word Download doesn’t appear next to the installer, it means that the App Store believes you have a working copy of the installer already on your Mac. You should locate that copy and if you don’t want to use it—because it’s now a couple of point-releases old, for example—either compress it or remove it from your drive. Once you do, you should be able to download a fresh copy from the Purchases page.
    The reinstallation might take up to 8 hours. After the reinstalling the OS I have no issues anymore !!! Hope this will work for you too !
    All the best !

  • Lion freezes after sleep

    Anyone find a fix for the freeze after sleep on Lion

    Try using disk utility to verify/repair your hard drive, also repair your permissions. 

  • Screen freezes after login on Lion OS X (intermittent)

    Ever since upgrading my MacBook Pro (purchased Apr-10) from Leopard to Lion I'm experiencing an intermittent problem where the screen freezes once a user has logged in. The problem only occurs when the machine is started from off and doesn't occur when starting from sleep or when switching users.
    This problem affects all users set up on this machine and results in a cursor that can still be moved but can't select anything and a keyboard that is unresponsive. Most times the cursor shows as the coloured wheel. I have left the machine in this state for over 30 minutes to see if it would recover but it doesn't and I have no option other than to perform a hard reset by holding down the power button. Sometimes it can take a couple of hard resets before the machine recovers.
    The configuration of my machine is fairly straight forward with an Apple Time Capsule providing backup and WiFi and minimal software installed.
    I have found that disabling all 'Open At Login' apps reduces the likelihood of the problem but doesn't cure it.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and can provide a solution as I want to avoid having to revert to Leopard if possible.

    Accelerated Video Drivers for the 5770 and 5870 first appeared in 10.6.5, so when running 10.6, be sure to update to at least that version before drawing conclusions.
    Otherwise, I think your conclusions that this is a graphics card problem are likely correct. Over a very large sample, these cards have been much more reliable than many previous cards. But you do not have a very large sample, you have one card.
    The Mac Pro (65lb tower) uses Error Correcting Code memory, so this is NOT a RAM memory problem or you would be getting kernel panics with machine check, uncorrected error.
    Apple hardware test is a tool that only seems to detect the grossest of errors. It is famous for false negatives.

  • Screen Sharing via iCloud on Lion Freezes at Login Screen

    After updating to OSX Lion 10.7.3, screen sharing between two computers via the Internet allows me to connect to the remote computer and see the remote user's login screen, but as soon as I click on a user to login, the screen share image freezes before I can enter the user password. 
    Using iCloud Back to My Mac because all machines have the same Apple ID & password. Exact same setup worked before the 10.7.3 upgrade, but it could be coincidence. 
    Details:
    Can see the remote computers in my finder,
    Can click on them and connect successfully using either the Apple ID or the name and password a user that is allowed under Sharing -> Screen Sharing,
    When clicking on "Screen Share," the computers connect and I'm prompted to either "Ask to Share the Display" or "Connect to Virtual Display"Since there really isn't anyone using the computer, I select "Connect to Virtual Display"
    After clicking "Connect to Virtual Display" the Screen Sharing window shows the remote computer's login screen, whcih shows the user names, their icons and "Sleep" "Restart" or "Shut Down" on the bottom of the screen.  One user has an orange circle with a white checkmark next to it. 
    Previously, I could click a user's name or icon, enter the password and control the remote Mac.  Now, not amount of clicking works. 
    Have tried disconnecting and reconnecting as different users or using Apple ID without changes in the perofmance. Have restarted both machines. 
    Any help?

    I'm having the same problem screen sharing to a Lion 10.7.3 machine, I get this message.
    However, it works just like it used to when I screen share from a 10.7.3 machine to another Mac running 10.6.8.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • Lion freezes after upgrading to SSD

    Hi all,
    I just purchased the Mac Mini with a 2.7 GHz Core i7 processor and independent graphics processor. The Mini came with a 750GB hard drive. I purchased separately a 120GB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD, and I installed it as a second drive (using the installation kit from ifixit). I then installed Lion (10.7.2) on the SSD, and made the HD the location for my home directory.
    Lion now freezes all the time. I'll be using one app (say, Safari) when suddenly I'll get the pinwheel of death. I find I can switch to another app, but then that will freeze too. After that, I can't do anything; nothing will respond. Eventually, the entire screen turns white. After that, all I can do is a hard reboot by holding down the power button. At first I thought it was Safari, since it seemed to happen most often when having that open. After switching to Firefox (my preferred browser anyway), the problem didn't apper for awhile. But since then, the same thing has happened while using other programs, such as Mail, and it has now happened with Firefox too. The freezing happens randomly: sometimes I've gone several hours without it happening; others, it's happened within a few minutes. It seems to happen when multiple programs are trying to read or write to the drive.
    I think it might be related to the SSD based on googling around for similar issues. I installed the SSD the day I got the mini, so I'm not sure if it would have happened on the HD also. (I only booted to the HD a couple of times, to make sure it worked, and did not stay logged in very long.) As bad luck would have it, I started getting the freezing issues just after I had deleted the installation of Lion on the HD, so I can't switch to it to verify that it is the SSD.
    Anyway, I was wondering if anyone who has an OWC SSD has experienced similar problems, and if there was anything they were able to do to fix it. Is this a problem with Lion? Would downgrading to 10.6 help (if that's even possible)? I know there have been similar problems with other SSDs, but I thought the OWC Mecury Pros were top of the line.

    I got my drive from OWC (6G SSD) on the 20th, so pretty much the same time as you.  The machine will hang randomly, usually around 45mins-90mins after a reboot.  Seems like we are having the same issue.  The solution given to me by OWC was to install the new firmware (http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/OWC/SSD).  Apparently a new version came out right after we ordered it.
    My specs are:
    Early 2011 15" MBP w/8GB RAM
    Using the Data Doubler from OWC as well, which now houses my old HD (750GB)
    Just so you don't waste the time I've already lost, I've tried the following:
    Clean install of lion and the using migration assistant
    Time Capsule restore
    Disabled Sudden Motion Sensor
    Disabled hibernation mode
    Cleaned my cache using Onyx
    I'm going to give the new firmware a shot, and will update here if there are any improvements.
    At this point, if the firmware doesn't work, I wonder if there has been a bad batch of SSD drives at the point where we got ours.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Mountain lion freezes after deep sleep

    Hello All,
    I am having a strange problem with my MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.3). Since about January time It keeps crashing after I put it into a deep sleep. After closing the lid - waiting for 1 hour or so - then reopening the lid, i get presented with the normal Apple login screen (breifly) and then it crashes and i get a grey screen saying my mac has had an issue and it needs to restart.
    When i log back on i get an error message that I can send onto Apple and then my Mac carries on as normal. Very weird.
    I have searched these forums, been into the Apple store, spoken to Apple done hardware diagnostics, reinstalled the OS (worked breifly then stopped working again) - so i assume its one of the programs or bits of hardware that i use (which i have tried to isolate/remove)- but i am still strugling to solve these issues.
    It would be great if someone could give me some advice around:
    1. Where I can find these log files/error messages, etc.
    2. Understanding what it is causing this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    The solution is to dump the 100€ mini-display port DVI-D adapter that apple sells and buy a mini-Display to Display-Port cable for 6€. No crashes, no annoying interruption of the display (which I had several times the day for 2 or 3 seconds). There are very short interruptions now, but it is much better than with the apple adapter. The apple adapter needs a USB port, which is not necessary with the simple cable.
    As for the monitor: Burn In, otherwise great. The burn in can be erased via monitor menu but should not be there in the first place.
    Hope this helps.

  • Macbook air freezes after login on internet

    Hi
    I'm having an issue with a student's macbook Air, running 10.6.7 fully updated.
    What happened is it was working fine, she was just having a website pop up issue, so I ticked the "Auto Proxy Discovery" setting, like all other macbooks.
    Then I quit Safari and opened it again, it loaded some of the Apple page and beach balled. I can move the mouse but everything else is frozen, cannot force quit, so had to hold down the power button. The same thing happens in Firefox. The kicker is that it all works in Safe Mode and I can browse to a website just fine. (All students are required to login to the proxy server)
    It works fine in normal mode if I'm just using Word or anything not requiring internet.
    She has had this problem before, but it was fixed by the previous IT guy and she did say it ran out of power last night and shutdown. This just seems so strange!
    Thankyou for any help in advance.
    Pierre

    Ok I have an update which is most interesting.
    The student said it worked fine at home over the weekend. They brought it to school today and bam, as soon as they log onto the network it will freeze if it gets any internet traffic. I cancelled the proxy login when opening Safari then it froze after 3 seconds, but I still believe it's internet traffic related.
    I turned it off and back on, but didn't log onto the network just yet and it works fine, obviously getting no http traffic.
    I guess when I couldn't find the power button like a normal macbook it decided not to like our school

  • My MBP 2011 w Lion freezes after sleep with blue screen and other sleep issues

    My MBP v2 of 2011 line with Lion on it freezes occassionally (maybe 1 out of 10 awakenings from sleep) where the screen is blue and only way to make it stop is to hold the power button and restart.
    Another issue I have is I'll come out of sleep, and the wallpaper on my screen disappears, and I just see a gray background.  If I go to Monitor preferences, it claims the wallpaper is set to my normal background.  Restarting has the background display again.
    Note: I often use a external monitor, so good chance these freezing issues happen when I unplug/plug in the external monitor (via DVI cable to DisplayPort converter to MBP)
    Today I had a slightly different experience with the freezing.  It had my second monitor have a bunch of pixelated garbage and a message about holding power button down and restarting.  I restarted, and got a "your system has crashed unexpectedly" like message, so I told it to send the data to Apple.

    I used to have that problem as well, try going to system preferences and having the computer require a password after waking, worked for me.

  • Lion freezes after selecting dashboard in mission control.

    After selecting Dashboard in Mission Control the Dashboard freezes. Have to do a hard shut down to exit.

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and can't get desktop spaces to work correctly.  When I activate Mission Control I can see the current space's open applications, but the small desktops along the top aren't there.  Neither will the little plus sign show up to make more desktops.  However, if I make the dashboard a space, I can see the desktops in that space ONLY.  Also, if I am in another space and activate Mission Control – if I click where I expect  the "Space 4 desktop" to be (although I can't see the image) I will be moved to the 4th space.  I can swipe left and right to navigate through spaces, but without those little images at the top Mission Control is VERY awkward to use. 
    I have restarted, checked and unchecked options in the Mission Control settings.  I've tried using option to activate the plus sign.  I've updated to the latest release of the software. None of these have worked.  I hope someone can help me.

  • Toshiba Qosmio x775 Windows 7 freezes after login

    Recently I've unscrewed the lid on the back of my qosmio, the part with one screw with the sticker on it that says "caution pc base can get hot, etc etc". That one is a smaller little area that could be removed on the bottom compared to the bigger, whole part of the bottom. It just had a RAM or something in there. Anyway, when I opened that, there was a bunch of orangish sticky gunk in around the edges, so I cleaned it off with a clorox wipe, careful not to touch the RAM or anything else in there at all, and closed it and screwed it back. The fact that I didn't even do anything to the RAM or whatever it was, just claned the gunk and screwed it back on, is why I don't think it is what caused it, but immediately after that my computer started to freeze right after I would type in my password and the desktop icons would show. The loading icon next to the cursor would load and it would just freeze until I turned my PC off. Am I going to have to get a new laptop altogether?
    Solved!

  • Windows XP instantly freezes after login

    Hey,
    So lately I've been having some problems with Windows XP. It seems that my MBP will completely freeze up and become unresponsive, when I finally get it to work via voodoo or go into safe mode the event log shows nothing wrong.
    WXP works just fine for a second or two, but it seems that when it reaches a certain step in the startup something will be loaded that just makes it freeze up. This is not present in safemode, as it works just fine. I've no idea what it is though - how would you go about figuring this out?

    HI Timothy,
    would you mind me asking where were you able to download bootcamp 1.2, i've been having the same problems as well.. very time consuming. but i have a solution once that happens, upon login, immediately press "CTRLaltDEL" then choose "LOGOUT" then login again, that works for me most of the time.
