Mac going completly crazy

Sometimes when just surfing Safari or playing world of warcraft, the mac starts repeating the last millisecond of sound and it locks up. This happens at least once a day. I've reinstalled Leopard 3 times already, and I still have the problems.
When I turn the computer off by holding down the restart button and boot it again, I get no error report message. I've only gotten an error report message twice, and when I checked the report it says "panic".
My warranty is running out, do you have any suggestions or should I just ship it to service right away?

Ryum is running 10.5. Your issue may be due to installing 10.6.
Try posting in the Snow Leopard Usage forum.

Hairless now and going completely crazy

I have posted this before but will try again. Trying to copy my audio (book) cd into itunes. I have: brought up itunes, put in cd, dismissed all dialog boxes (was told to do that by Aldoblog),selected all tracks (which were in contiguous and ascending order), chose advanced and.....join tracks is dimmed. WHY?????????????? It's not pretty here anymore....

Is this what you are doing?

What dialogue boxes are you dismissing? What do they say? Are they error messages?
Can you import the tracks by themselves, or is it not letting you do that either?

HT1533 Ok so I have tried evey combination of restarts. It tries to boot up, the start up bar appears on screen, but the computer just goes completely after the bar is a third of the way across. Is is doomed?

Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD and running Disk Utility to see if anything needs fixing on the HD. Restart holding down Command+r and once it hopefully boots select Disk Utility>Repair Disk. If anything gets fixed click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Try restarting as normal from the Apple menu once done.
Do you have backup to restore from if it proves to be the Mac has a hardware fault?

09 I Mac goes asleep ends up with a spinning disk on the screen and the mac will not respond has to be rebooted

First this:
In EnergySaver deselect "put the hard disk to sleep when possible". You must logout after the setting to make this effective.
This probably will not solve it, but let it be deselected.
When the issue is still there:
Open Terminal;
copy/paste following command (after every command hit "enter" key)
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
when the answer is not 3 write it down;
then copy/paste following command
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
reboot
Open Terminal;
copy/paste following command
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
after that type EXIT in Terminal and close Terminal.
This does following for you:
it will set the hibernatemode to zero: the sleepimage (a copy of the complete ram) will not be written and the space on the HD is freed up.
This sleepimage does not do anything for you but taking time at sleep/hibernate and startup. It is an old remnant of earlier days.

My macbook is completely crazy! (NEED HELP!!!)

I am honestly frustrated and confused! I have a late 2011 macbook pro, (got it in August) 15", 8gb of ram, and an ugraded 750gb HDD. This morning it was working perfectly normal, then I take it to school and at school it was all messed up and now it is messed up as well!
So this is what happens. I boot up the computer, takes a considerable amount of time... then my mac loads normally, and it seems all good. Then when I click something it goes crazy! What I mean by that is, the dock first disappears for about half a second, then reappears. Then it disappears and then the desktop background becomes gray with all the icons on the side (like windows the shortcuts on the actual desktop, not dock) are still there, and it flickers or more flashes then what happens and then what happens after 20 minutes or so the screen goes gray and shows the loading icon and thats it (plus the fan is going like crazy! For a while it wouldn't even start! I tried to boot it up in safe mode but it would go almost half way and then just shut down! Then i did the option + command + P + R and that brought me to disk utlility for a couple of times the verify didn't work, and stopped half way through, and the repair, but I kept on doing it and it said it's all good! So i reboot and same problem! Now I can't go back to that disk utility and when I started my mac again it does the flickery thing, then the gray screen but this time it loads and then it flickers an image of a desktop and goes straight to the screensaver... and I can't do anything about it, it's frozen on the screen saver! The screen saver doens't lag however, it acts normally! But if I click anything it sticks on the screen saver! I think the problem is the HDD, but I don't know! Can anyone help me?! Please!!!!!

My first thought was the hard drive and OS has a built in Sudden Motion Sensor whcih will stop the hard drive heads from crashing into the platters when the computer is moved suddenly. This does work most of the time and could cause some of the tings you are seeing.
But then after reading more of your first post it seems your system and drive is doing some very strange things.
It would be best to first take it into an Apple Genius Bar and have it looked at. They can run tests on it and since it is still in the original 1 year warranty this should not cost you anything even if something needs to be replaced.
You can also run the Apple Hardware Test on it your self by connecting it to the Net by Ethernet cable and booting holding down the d key or the Command+d keys. That will boot the computer from the Apple internet servers and load the AHT.
Good Luck.

I'm using Time Machine and a LaCie external drive to backup. I also have a 8 GB LaCie flash drive I want to use for small jobs. If I plug the LaCie flash drive in, is my Mac going to think it is the LaCie external drive and start trying to backup?

Hi I have used my macbook pro with miniport to HDM, and it was working fine. Hadnt used it for a month and now when I connect the TV, the screen on the mac goes blue then back to the page but nothing comes up on the TV. Any ideas?

Hi I have a year old Macbook pro. I was using a miniport to connect it to the TV via HDM cable. It was working fine but I have used it for a couple of months kept it in a drawer and now it doesnt work. When connected to the TV the screen on the mac goes blue as though there is some signal then back to original screen but the TV doesnt show what's on the laptop. Please any suggestions, thanks??

Hello nothingissecret
Check out the article below for troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. One would be to try a different cable or adapter to test with the television.

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Recharging my iPod shuffle (3rd gen.) on my 2009 iMac (OS 10.5.8) goes extremely slowly (via usb port at the back). This is mainly because recharging stops when my mac goes to sleep. I just can't believe that Apple doesn't have a sollution for this, but I haven't found it yet... What's the most efficient way of recharging?

Purchase a wall charger for it instead.

Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

- You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

Mac Mini, complete home station

When is Mac going to capitalize on what the mini is and include a blu ray player, applet tv software, and wireless base station capability all in one tidy package?!

You already have the "wireless base station" built in.
Make sure you're connected to a wired network, then click the Wi-Fi icon in the menubar, click Create Network, and do that. Or you could always go to System Preferences, click Sharing and turn on Internet Sharing. Either way's fine.
And there's always Blu-Ray via internal upgrades or external drives.
And there's always Front Row (or XBMC, Google it) instead of the tv software.
And the company's not called Mac. It's called Apple. They make computers called Macs. Get it right...

Hi there when I start move mobile me to aperture my mac goes to crash: what do I have to do?

Try to download your MobileMe content from your me.com web page:
Ope your System Preferences, then select the "Mobile Me" pane / Accounts panel.
There press the "Visit Me.com" button and download your Mobile Me contents. Then sign out of Mobile Me.
When you relaunch Aperture and the "Mobile Me" has been discontinued panel pops up don't use the "ok" button, but click the "Learn more" button. Ignore the web page, and open the Aperture preferences.
In the "Web > Accounts" tab of the preferences remove the "Mobile Me" account.

Error after my Mac goes to sleep after streaming music?

After streaming music and stopping for a while, my Mac goes to sleep and I receive the error in the attached screen shot when I try to stream again. The only thing that seems to work is quitting iTunes an reopening. Why does it do this and how can I stop it from doing this? Thanks.

Hello Media Fred,
It sounds like you are getting this message after the computer wakes from sleep, and you need to restart the iTunes application to get it to work correctly. I recommend signing out of your account first:
Choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
From: iTunes 11 for Mac: Manage your iTunes Store account
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12299
Then restart your computer, and sign back into the iTunes Store and test the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
