Mac Book freezes for 10 seconds when I print screen!

Hi fellows,
I am having noticed a very incommon problem. Sometimes, when I press commandshift3 or commandshift3 to capture the screen, my mac freezes for 20 seconds...
How can I solve it?

Disk drive has spun down and takes that long to spin back up would be first guess.

  • HT3669 Epson SX 535WD Unable to send scans to Mac  Book Pro via USB from Epson Printer screen?

    Hi,
    I have recently updated to mavericks, I am having porblems opperating my Epson sx 535wd scanner?  The printer side seems to work fine!
    I have downloaded the latest software form the EPSON www site however I am unable to download the Scanner drivers as my Mac tells me it doesn't reckognise the developer?
    Do I change the gate keeper settings on the mac to allow this software to be installed or not? (This was recomended by EPSON? )
    Also I have some old Epson software Circa 2012 on my Mac , I asume this is no longer required so can I remove it or would that affect the printer?

    The problem I'm having is that I can not seem to access the Epson 1280 from my Dell PC, nor can I access the files on the PC via my Mac Book.
    I suggest that you check out the following iFelix articles to see if they will help:
    - Printing to a printer on an Airport Extreme Base Station or Airport Express from an XP PC
    - Sharing files between a Windows XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x

  • My daughter's Mac book freezes at random times. Apple's been unable to fix it. Her college grades are suffering. How can I convince Apple to just replace it?

    My daughter's Mac book freezes at random times. Apple's been unable to fix it. On most visits to the Apple store, it works fine. On other visits, it acts up, and they replace something like the RAM or the hard drive.  She lost a semester for university course notes, and currently can't use it at all, because Apple sent it out for 'diagnostics'.  Her college grades are suffering. How can I convince Apple to just replace it?

    Apple policy in the past has been to try and repair three times.  If is not successful, then replace.  So keep accuarate records on when and what was repaired so you can make your argument that it needs to be replaced.

    How can I restart my mac book pro 11 inches when it's on target disc mode

    Even if you could open Disk Utility you can't reformat a disk while you are booted from it. You will have to use the install CD. Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page and give them the serial number of your Mac. You should be able to get the Snow Leopard install disks for a nominal fee.

  • Problems with volume when streaming a Netflix movie from my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2009) to my flat screen TV?

    Hi!
    Does anyone know what I need to do in order to turn up the volume when I’m streaming a Netflix movie from my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2009) to my flat screen TV?
    I hooked up the HDMI adapter from my Mac to my TV and it is currently in Mirror Mode, but I can’t turn up the volume, the only audio I’m able to adjust is on my Mac.
    I’ve already tried: System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers Built in output.  That’s the only option my Mac gives me.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello jguti,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your external display connected via HDMI is not being detected by the computer.  At this point, the best bet for your next troubleshooting step would be to reset the system:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.

  • Any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pixma mp640 printer connection?

    Anyone have any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pimxa mp640 printer link? The two are connected manually yet the ! remains on the 'print' page next to the printer name. it was working fine until i changed the ink cartridges. Without the wireless password - which I've never had and don't supposedly need as it's not a wireless connection, I am being prevented from resuming printing.

    If it's on a windows network you have to enter your (windows) log in (name/password) credentials.
    This should be a 1 time event. It will remember it thereafter.

    I clicked on a link in an email that may be spam/phishing.  How can I scan my mac book pro for viruses?

    You can just download the free ClamXav and scan your entire drive - but as there are no known viruses for OS X (although there is malware - see Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide) it's very unlikely that you have a virus.
    The best source against malware is OS X itself and common sense. Don't click on links in suspicious emails and be careful of anything that wants to install something on your computer that is not from a reputable source.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

  • HT4285 i have been using my mac book pro for almost an year..My  use is pretty safe as i use it only at my home and do not carry it at office... my sues is shall i consider the APPLECARE PLAN....the plan is almost 20% of the laptops cost.

    i have been using my mac book pro for more than 11 months.
    .My  use is pretty safe as i use it only at my home and do not carry it to office...
    my  confusion is that shall i consider the APPLECARE PLAN....the plan is almost 20% of the laptops cost....Will spending so much money be worth it

    Like any other insurance, it's only worth it if you have a problem.  I've purchased it on my "high risk" Macs and not purchased on the others.  So far I've never needed it.

    Boot from your Leopard installation DVD, and use the menus to reset your password.
    NOTE:  I said your Leopard DVD, because you are posting to the Leopard forum.  If you are really using Mountain Lion, then you would boot via your Recovery partition (boot holding Command-R), then reset your password.

  • Mac Book Pro for school. What do I need?

    Hi, i want to buy a mac book pro for school(grade 10 academic) and for general amusement. I will be doing graphics(got adobe cs5.5) video editing, word processing and surfing the web. I am leaning towards the 17" MBP but for portablility i may get the 15". Since i will be taking it to school i dont know if i should pick the solid state vs. the regular 500GB. My main questions are: What hard drive? What should i put in my bag along with some books and writing utensils? Does anti glare make a big diference? 2.2GHz or 2.3 GHz? What programs are a must have?
    P.S. this is my first mac and i do not mind price so much i just want what makes sence. For example if there is no NEED for a solid state then i will not get it.

    Why bring the discs with me? I agree on the chord but is it worth $80? Definately the Manual!
    You need spare bootable copies for troubleshooting.  It's rare, but what are you going to do if at some point while away from home (where your original discs are) you start having problems?  You will have no DVDs to run AHT or even to run the repair disk option.
    If you accidently delete an "Apple" app.  You need the Install DVD to custom install. 
    The above are just small examples of why you need to carry bootable copies.  The original DVDs should be kept in a safe place at home.
    The System DVDs are machine specific.  Therefore, you cannot borrow someone elses system DVDs to troubleshoot your MBP.
    I purchased an extra Magsafe to keep inside my computer carrying case.  I felt why should I use the "home" one?  I would be SOL if something happened to it while using it away from home.  My MBP is older than yours.  The Magsafe was no where near $80.
