Mac Book Pro freezes on start up

I downloaded the latest software updates sent out
today and after the restart my Mac Book Pro now
freezes on start up after my screen is completely
loaded. I've tried all the fixes listed in the
troubleshooting guide, nothing works. I think it
might be related to my Earthlink total access program
because it doesn't freeze until it almost starts
this. Can I remove the latest update some how?
Help!
MacBook Pro Mac
OS X (10.4.6)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)
My MacBook Pro is experiencing the same problem. I did find something to stop the freezes though... as soon as the screen is loaded, I disable Airport.... and wait at least 2-3 minutes before reenabling it. Not sure why it works but it does for me.
My problems also started after downloading this update.
Good Luck!

Mac book pro freezes at start up with microsoft office

When I turn on the machine the MS Outlook reminders pop up at start up. I can't do anything else. My desktop is set to loop through my photos which it continues to do. I can't open any other apps lik Safari, mail, calendar on the menu bar. I have to shut down by holding the button to turn the computer on. I'm using MS Office 2011. I can't see the OS version but I now I recently updated so at a minimum is OS 10. Any suggestions before I take it in to the store?

Force Quit (under the Apple menu).
Can you get any MS Office app to open without freezing? If so, you should go under the Help menu of any Office app and select "Check for Updates" - the latest version is 14.3.9.
You might also want to try holding down the option key when you next try to open Outlook - this will force a rebuilding of your user database. You may have a problem there.
If all else fails, you can always trying uninstalling Office 2011 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768?wa=wsignin1.0) and reinstalling it...

Please verify you got this screen as well:
I had the same after updating fronm 10.7.1 to 10.7.2 tonight. Not even a re-install of the OS X 10.7 and Combo update to 10.7.2 helped. I think this time Apple messed up big time with the 10.7.2 update and some Mac Books (my case: MacBook 15" Mid 2009 = MacBookPro5,3)
If any Apple Support person reads this: Please get in contact with me. This is highly unusual!!

I have no idea how much it will cost to repair. I don't even know what the exact problem will prove to be. It may be quick if it isn't a motherboard problem. I just don't know. Take it in for a service diagnostic, then they can tell you what is involved.

What is the exact model of your Macbook Pro?

Mac Book Pro will not start on Battery Power

Mac Book Pro will not start on Battery Power although battery at 98% need to connect charger. When started date and time incorrect, comes up as 1st Jan 2012.

What is the exact model of your MBP? The date change often is an indication of power loss to the MBP, such as disconnecting the battery.
If the SMC reset does not solve the situation, post this from your MBP:
Make certain that the power adapter is connected.
Ciao.

My Mac Book Pro wouldn't start after memory update

I updated my 27" Imac memory up to 16 GB, so I was encouraged to do the same with my Mac Book Pro after watching the video and instructions. However My Mac Book Pro wouldn't start afterwards. It is driving me crazy. Please if someone can help me on this. Thanks

I was trying to install Corsair 8GB (2x 4GB) 1333mhz PC3-10666 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM Laptop Memory Kit CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9; and now I realized that I made a mistake because this Mid 2010 Mac Book Pro uses 1066mhz PC3 8500 instead, so should that be the problem of compatibility? I should guess so, although in my HP Elite I have 800Mhz ddr2 where the bus works at 640 mhz ddr2.
The rest is the same being 204 pin memory cards, etc.
I made this mistake because ordered at the same time this memory along with memory cards for my new 27" iMac, which works at 1333Mhz.
Thankyou again, I will check on if cards are sitting well and if they are PC3 8500 1066 Mhz....

The tv is a extended display on your mac like a second moitor you want to mirror them (same thing on both)

It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else. Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

Mac Book Pro freezing

Hi all. My 3 year old Mac Book Pro is starting to freeze on a daily basis. I have to hold the power button in and start all over agian on my projects. This is more of what I would expect from a windows machine.
Can anyone help with advice on a fix for this.
Thanks in advance.
Will

Hi Will,
I had the exact same problem as you a couple of days ago, here with a 2+ year old mac.
When the mac turns on hold Command+Option+P+R just before the grey screen appears and hold these until the mac restarts and gives you 3 beeps. This just resets the PRAM and NVRAM. These can lose their data due to an old or dying battery, which has been my problem.
This fixed my sudden freezes which required a restart.
If this doesnt work just post and ill give some other tips, but im almost sure this will fix the problem
Good luck!!

Mac book pro freezes keybord and mouse at random, and on startup with batt.

Hey
I have been using my MBP for a little less than half a year now, working just fine.
Lately though, It freezes (mouse and keyboard) when running/starting with battery in (AC or not). restarting doesn't help and i have tried to hold the start button during start, some times that would work. But the last few times it didn't help either.
No programmes are affected (keep running, iTunes etc.) during keybord-mouse-freeze.
If take the battery out and starts with AC only, works like nothing ever happend, But if i put it back in after startup, freezes again. hadwaretest says nothing is wrong. Please notice that this is the old Mac book pro.
How do i fix this problem, and what is it. Anybody knows ? ...

"...I have not yet opend (ecept the battery out) the computer physicaly, so... "
I would get it to an Apple store or authorized Apple repair center. You are still covered by the 1 year warranty. Consider purchasing AppleCare to extend that an additional 2 years.
