Mac continually crashes several minutes after booting.

I inadvertently posted this in the "numbers" thread" so thought I'd repost my same problem in the right group. here it is.
I just had my logic board and graphics card replaced at an Apple store. That was awesome, however, shortly thereafter, my Mac started to continually crash with it's grey screen. Sometimes it would crash as it was booting up. Other times it would crash a few minutes into an operation. But then there are times when it runs just fine for hours!
I have noticed that if I let it sit on the log in screen for a few minutes it does seem to run fine,,,however, it has also crashed while sitting in the log in screen.
Is this a sign that my boot drive is going? After all, it is over three years old! Or is it something to do with the new logic board? Any suggestions would help before I buy a new hard drive. Thanks in advance.
Doug

Thanks for the suggestion. My apple care had run out a week before the logic board crashed but the Apple Store replaced it anyway. However, it has been a little over a month so I was worried that they may charge me. But it is worth a shot. Gotta have my Mac!
One person suggested it my be bad ram and I thought that it might me my hard drive going, but a trip to the Genius Bar could find it all out.
Thanks
Doug

  • Firefox crashes several minutes after opening every time I use it. I think Firefox was updated shortly before this started. Uninstalling and reinstalling have not helped. Updating all plug-ins has also had no effect. Would appreciate help fixing this.

    Browser starts out working normally but within a few minutes it freezes, stops responing and I have to close it using Task Manager. When I open Task Manager, it shows two Firefox programs running with different icons even though I only opened one window.

    iTunes saves out a new copy of the entire library file every time a change is made to the library. This is not new behavior.
    The slowdowns I have seen like this have ususally been caused by:
    A virus
    or
    Some anti-virus software is incorrectly interpreting the rewriting of the file and is causing a problem.
    Either way, you should definitely update your anti-virus software and definitions to the latest, and run a full scan of your system. If that does not help, you may want to recreate your iTunes library.

    My Mac OS Lion 10.7 FileVaulted HD does not boot, prohibitory sign, stop sign appears some minutes after boot starts. Disk Utility repair shows four error messages:
    Unable to bootstrap transaction group 2517: inconsistent crosscheck
    No valid commit checkpoint found
    The volume xxxxxxxxxxxxxx(here it shows physical volume number) was found corrupt and can not be repaired.
    Problems were encountered during repair of the partition map
    Error: Storage system verify or repair failed.
    (the same with 2518, 2519 and 2520 transaction group)
    I suppose it is serious bug in Mac OS Lion managing FileVault and wonder what the help could be?

    Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
    Best of luck

  • Osx Lion memory leak: my MacBook pro is usable only 10 minutes after boot

    Hi all,
    10 minutes after boot it works just fine, but then it slows down and take centuries to open any application. Checked with Activity monitor:
    on a boot, no user applications running: Free memory: 2,35 Gb, Wired: 459,7 Mb, Active 3 Mb, Inactive: 1,18 Gb
    In 10 minutes, idle: Free memory: 8,4 Mb, Wired: 468,1 Mb, Active 2,36 Gb, Inactive: 1,17 Gb
    Somehow all the free memory leaks to the active one, without me doing anything. I tried launching several programs to see if the memory will get adjusted accordingly, but it does not. Time machine is stopped. Tried disk repair is CMD+R mode, fixed permissions, killed most of the user processes - no success.
    I've installed Lion on top of Snow Leopard a month ago and didnt feel any problems so far... Now my MacBook pro 2,4 GHz is completely useless, finally, after 6 years of seamless work :( Thanks, Lion
    Any ideas how to deal with it?
    Thanks,

    I do not see anything like this on my system which would lead me to believe you may have a defective installation. So, my suggestion:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • MBP 8,1 (10.9.5) freezes approx. 20 minutes after booting.

    If I remove one of the two RAM-modules and the MBP runs with only 2GB of RAM, it seems to work, although all processes are much slower. TC backup is not working and when trying to download Mavericks again, the computer freezes again. The freeze-problem does not occur under 10.6, here the MBP works fine. Any suggestions? Am I facing a RAM-module or HDD-problem here? Or something completely different?

    Just to clarify the problem: the system only freezes when both 2GB-RAM-modules are installed. If I run the MBP on only 2GBs (no matter, which one), the system does not freeze.
    Here is the report from etrecheck:

    I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed  ...any ideas?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

    My IPAD keeps restarting a few minutes after booting up. It keeps doing it again and again, after the same period of time. Grateful for any help!

    If the above doesn't work, force iPad into Recovery Mode.
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • The dock crashes +/-5 minutes after reboot

    As of yesterday, the dock simply crashes +/- 5 minutes after reboot.
    I've been running SL successfully since the day it came out, without any problems.
    I did upgrade an application, DockStar and feel that's the culprit here, although I have been running a demo version of it successfully.
    If I go to system preferences and choose Dock it takes a while before the dock pane shows up and with default settings, and it also acts very slowly when changing settings. If I change the settings and then close the system preferences and then reopens it then my settings have disappeared.
    And the bigger problem is that the Dock can not be seen (and it is not hidden at any of the monitor edges either).
    How I can restore the dock?

    I just did it myself, and it did not change anything related to your accounts or what's in your Inbox, but the Mail windows size went to the default size and look. It did says say my "Outbox" has been renamed "Delivered," which is odd because it did not do that before when using Mail in Snow Leopard. If you drag the preference file to the Desktop instead of trashing it, you can put it back if something important is changed in Mail that you want back.
    I just tried moving the Mail preferences file to the Desktop (I also got that odd Outbox/Delivered message), and the Dock indeed doesn't crash now.
    BUT, I did loose all my accounts, so I had to drag the original preference file back.
    Some extra info: The clean generated com.apple.mail.plist is only 8KB, while mine is 45KB.
    Another fact: I only started using Mail for the first time after the Snow Leopard upgrade (because I'm an Exchange user), it's not that this has been an upgraded Mail with old accounts or settings in it.

  • ITunes 10.2.1 hangs several minutes after iPhone sync

    Recently updated the old 2006 iMac Core 2 Duo to 10.6.7 and iTunes 10.2.1. All works well but iTunes now goes into the spinning beachball of death (SBOD) shortly AFTER syncing my iPhone 3GS.
    It doesn't happen right away. For a few moments after sync, everything works fine. Then I'll click on some element (say, Music or Podcasts or a playlist, etc.) and the SBOD appears. It just stays forever until I force quit iTunes, which then results in an annoying restart that requires iTunes to check my very large library for 15 minutes. Ugh.
    Console reports a crash due to "low memory" related to the iPhone, but I cannot figure that out - there is no shortage of RAM or disk space, so it's something else.
    Other parameters: Home Sharing is ON, and connects to 2 Airport Expresses and an Apple TV. Library is fairly large, 28,000 tracks of music, 226 movies and a bunch of TV shows. Never been a problem.
    Ideas??

    well i'm running iTunes same vsn on a brand new iMac i7 2.93GHz and i'm constantly having to wait while the old beach ball of death appears. it usually only halts normal operation for 15 to 40secs but thats ridiculous enough. i've got 16Gb of DRAM and even with no other apps running this happens - and it happens about every 3 mins or so. crazy.
    9037 songs in the library.
    i guess this is better than iPhoto 9 which crashed and refuses to boot full stop, in spite of several re-instals.
    and i thought the new world of apple was gonna be rosy. hmmmm.

    It crahes approx 30-40 seconds after boot up. The crash is a Black screen and the fans go on full blast. I have to hold the power button down to turn off.
    all updates as of 8-4 were loaded (including the firmware update)
    The problem started after the updates were updated.
    here are the things Ive already tried:
    - removed 3rd party RAM
    - reset PRAM
    - reset Power (hold down power button w/ no batteries attached or external power)
    - booting into Safe mode
    - doing the hardware tests. (it crashes 30 seconds into the test)
    any ideas? I dont think I can reload the OS at this point.
    Mac Book Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   100GB 7200, 2.16, 1GB RAM (2GB w/ 3rd party)

    Of those packages, I would investigate pm-utils and maybe upower. Follow this flowchart from "I don't have the old package(s).".
    You could also try getting the old versions from an unsynchronized mirror: https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/
    I don't think that pm-utils is the problem. FWIW upower is OK here on an i686 (xfce too).
    About the chart -- hmm... What kind of screwed mind does it take to follow it completely? I usually skip to the vodoo part directly.

  • L355 s7195 freezes several minutes after startup. does not respond to anything. possible faulty fan.

    okay so ive had so many problems with this laptop. i got in auguast and ive had to reformat it twice, the first time was a week after i got it. 
    so a while ago it started this thing where it woudl freeze up 5 or ten minutes after i started it up. I had no idea what was going on, i uninstalled several programs, to see if they were causing it (aim, videogames and such) and nothing worked. finally someone told me it could be because of the system overheating. i listened to his advice and let it sit a couple hours for it to cool off. i turned it back on and it worked fine. i reinstalled everything and it worked fine for about a month.
    a couple days ago i had a windows update, which it kept insisting to restart for. I had to use it for school so i waited till i got home to restart it. actually i just shut it off and i figured it would finish configuring the updates when i turned it on the next morning. I did so and after configuring the updates, it started again. Freezing 5-10 minutes after i turned it on. this was last friday morning. this time i thought i knew what the problem was. i left it off throughout the day and when i got home i took it out and again it froze. the next day i was extremely busy so i didn't even get to check it then. i tried it again sunday, mind you this was after 2 days, and it was still freezing. ive tried it several times the last couple days. now im getting really pissed. I'm about to call toshiba support but i was just wondering if there was some small mistake i was making that i can do to fix this.

  • Elements 12 organizer will not stay up, it crashes very quickly after boot, editor works fine. After

    What do I do for photoshop elements 12 crashing immediately after booting up. Editor works fine.

    Please try creating new tag in a new catalog.. Is Organizer still crashing?
    You also mentioned crash on restoring an old catalog backup? Is this the same catalog with which you are seeing crash on tag creation?
    Thanks

  • My mac mini takes 5 minutes to boot up

    I have had my Mac Mini for about a year now, have always run Mountain Lion on it, but in the last month it takes 5 minutes to boot up when I turn it on (turning on to the log in page).  Everything else works fine.  I have done Disk Utilities, and the permissions are all fine, I verified the disc and that is all fine.  I have two other drives plugged into it, one 500GB USB for Time Machine and one 250GB firewire for data storage and my iTunes items.  The Mac Mini is a 2.3GHz processor with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM. 
    Any ideas please?  5 minutes is very slow for a computer to boot in 2013.  Thanks. 

    Open Console in Utilities, go to system.log, enter boot or BOOT_ in the filter field. Please post just the bootup sequence, no other messages, of those ~five minutes, from BOOT_TIME, or however it's worded until "setting hostname to "yourusername.local." If the time stamps, which we must see are not included, then post back without posting the log, since it will be useless.

  • ITunes crashes a minute after opening the program.

    Hello,
    iTunes crashes within a minute after opening. Went to reinstall and choose the repair option. But it did not work. Just recently their was an update for Microsoft for windows 8-64bit, and I just purchased an iPhone 5c. Can you help?

    Eek, sorry for the multiple posting, I keep trying new things and needing to report back. SO, in those accounts that I thought I'd "fixed," I tried going back in and changing the settings back to the way I like them, i.e. leaving the messages on the server for a week (because sometimes I like to see messags on my iphone too) and as soon as I did that, it started downloading old messages before, i.e. back to the same problem.
    Meaning, there's no workaround for the account I share with my business partner, because the only way I've "fixed" it on my personal accounts is to have mail removed from the server immediately, which is not possible on the accounts I share. (And is kind of a bummer for my personal accounts, too, given that I like to see mail on my iphone too).
    Sorry for info overload, just trying to be helpful and cover all the bases. :-)
