Mac OS X stops working

Hello!
I bought my Macbook a week ago but I'm already experiencing problems. It keeps on saying that I have to restart my computer because Mac OS X stops working. Besides that it freezes a lot. I bought this Macbook in Thailand and when I asked for my V.A.T. back at the airport they took the receipt. I wonder if this will be a problem if I want to claim my warranty since I am in Germany now.
Besides this, does anyone know which program I can use best to download music?
Cheers!

Hello kaya:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
If there is one near, I would take your computer to an Apple store. If that is not possible, call Applecare and explain the problem. They should be able to verify your purchase date from the serial number.
I have no clue about your music question.

I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an iMAC. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe about this. What do I do? Ed

I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an IMAC and it doesn't work on that either. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe. What do I do? Thanks, Ed

That because the activation servers were retired. Now for the good news:
Adobe has provided a non-activation version of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for their CS2 license holders.
Download the Mac version of Photoshop (not the suite) and copy down the serial number next to it. Do not use your original serial number or cs2 disc.
Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
Uh... one more thing CS2 is PPC only. OSX 10.6.8 has Rosetta to run legacy PPC products. 10.7 and above will not.
Good luck,
Gene

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro. If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
Best Regards,
Jeffri

My Mac mail suddenly stopped working

My Mac mail suddenly stopped working. The last email I have is from 4:40 or so this morning and I know that I have email because I can get it via a webmail program. It stopped working on my iPhone 4 too. Any ideas? It's IMAP if that means anything. Thanks.

I'd recommend also reposting in the Snow Leopard forum because Mail is part of SL If both sending and receiving is not working then contact your ISP and see if they have any known issues. If they don' t what I've found to work is removing the account in Mail and then recreating it.

TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

My mac pro suddenly stops working (2011), connection to the monitor stops, but de tiny light on computer still on and all sound stops. what's the problem?

my mac pro suddenly stops working (2011), connection to the monitor stops, but de tiny light on computer still on and all sound stops. what's the problem?

When the display turns off, it is not clear whether the computer has halted, or whether the display subsystem has failed.
Those tests determine whether:
a) Your Mac software had stopped working OR
b) Only the display had stopped working
If the pressing the Caps lock light on the keyboard lights the Caps Lock light on the keyboard, some software is still running -- your Mac has not halted.
If pressing Control-Eject on the keyboard, followed by the Return key shuts down your Mac, the software was still running.
¿Software was still running?
--Yes, the problem is ONLY in the display subsystem
--No, this is a computer-wide problem such as a kernel panic

I have a power Mac G5.that stop working on me recently...

i have a power Mac G5.that stop working on me i recently... i replace the power supply, motherboard, and cpu. when i power it on the light comes on and the fans come on but only for half a second then nothing. Wont bootpower up at all... what could be the problem?

1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

Updates tab in Mac App Store stopped working.

I don't have time to test all of these to find out for sure which one it may be, so I thought I'd post it here in case someone might already know the answer. I disabled and removed a bunch of features from my iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and one of these caused the Updates section of the Mac App Store to stop working and return the error "The App Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Anybody know what might be causing this? Thanks, and please don't bother asking why I would do any of this, that doesn't help. This isn't a complete list of things I changed but I've narrowed it to one/some of these.

Unibody mac book display stopped working!!!! please help

Hello all,
My display has stopped working, my 13 inch mac book still start up fine and I can see the desktop very very light if I place the display in sunlight. the keyboard still lights up. what could be the problem, no apple care. worse case scenario?
thank you

If your warranty hasn't expired, bring the computer in to an Apple store and have the folks there take a look.
All Macs come with a one-year warranty, and even if you have the aluminum unibody MacBook (the one without a Firewire port), you still have a warranty till sometime in October, so take advantage of it!

Mac Pro computer stop working

Hi,
I have a new mac pro computer, version 10.6.8, Macintosh HD, Memory 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3, 2Ghz Intel Core i7.
One of my user account in particular stopped working. The apps does not respond when I click on them. The finder is not responding but throws out a message "The application Finder can't be open, -10810." that I cannot close afterwards. I cannot close the computer normally... when I do open a finder window by some command the right side menu is not the same .. it list the servers and then 'all', instead of the usual folders.
My other service account seem to be working normal but once the Finder error above appeared.
Please, what is wrong and what can I do to fix this?
- Very concerned!

Yes. In the admin account, run this command:
sudo -u fubar -H /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain user
Important: change the word "fubar" to the short name of the problem user. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
WARNING: The forum software is adding extra spaces to the command. Copy the command to a text editor first and make sure no spaces have been added in the middle of a word.

Photoshop Elements 6 Mac Trial - License stopped working

Hi,
I have just downloaded the PSE6 Mac trial and when I installed it, everything worked perfectly. But when I try to open it it says the license for this product ahs stopped working, and that I should try reinstalling it. I have tried reinstalling it, deleting all the files and trying again but it doesn't seem to work...
Any ideas please ?
NStocks

Can you share the exact error message which you are getting on launch?
I believe the last step where you are is getting this error on launch.
Try following the steps as mentioned below from this step:
1. Uninstall PSE 6 Mac from the \Applications\utilities\Adobe Installer\%PSE 6 installer%
2. Run the CS3 clean up script as suggested by Barbara in the link above.
3. Create a new Admin user and login in the machine using that user.
4. Install PSE 6 Mac again.
5. Launch the application.
If it launches fine, we are good. If it gives the "Licensing has Stopped working" error then try this:

Let us know if it works for you,

Logitech DiNovo Edge (non-mac version) suddenly stopped working on 17MBP5,2

I have a Mid 2009, 17" MacBook Pro 5,2 with Mac OS X 10.6.7.
Connected to the laptop I have a Dell 2709WFP via HDMI, a Logitech MX Revolution mouse and a Logitech DiNovo Edge.
Recently the keyboard would stop working after a reboot. I would have to disconnect the KB dongle and log into Mac OS X before reconnecting for it to work. Then it stopped working altogether no matter what I did. Unplug, plug it back in. Different USB ports, etc... I did not have the Logitech Control Center installed.
So I installed the latest Logitech Control Center. It recognizes the mouse, but not the keyboard. However the mousepad on the keyboard works. Just the keyboard itself does not.
So I put the KB dongle into my 13" Mid 2009 MBP5,5 (10.6.7) and it works perfectly. So I plug it into a Windows 7 PC, and it works perfectly. The battery is fully charged. The issue existed in both 10.6.6 & 10.6.7.
I've tried reconnecting and everything else. I'm at a loss. Totally confused.
I haven't installed any applications lately when the issue started.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
