Mac with serious problems

I was using my 2010 MacBook on the XDA forums when all of a sudden, it shut down in an instant. I restarted it, and it had problems with the time, it thought it was 2000. I thought "that was weird." Then I kept browsing, when it happened again. This time when I restarted it, it had the previous problems, and now my mac is excessively venting air (it is very loud and the mac is very cool already.) It also can't recognize the battery or charge it and in my bar at the top of the screen, the battery has an X on it. It is also much slower than it was. This all started last night, no issues of any kind before. I am running ClamXav as we speak and will post the results.

I suggest you shutdown, remove and re-install the battery (assuming the battery is removable). While you're at it, repeat the SMC reset procedure.
If at all possible, I'd try the battery calibration procedure next: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
However, I would carefully monitor the battery during the charging process to make sure it doesn't overheat (very unlikely, but just a slight possibility).
Good luck

Premiere CS6 crash with "serious problem"..on Macbook Pro?

Every minute or two it will crash. I just recently bought the whole adobe suite and am mainly using premiere but I can't get anywhere with it continually crashing.
My Mac info:
Version 10.8.3
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Please help!
- Also let me know if there is any other info needed to help understand the problem. I am not completely sure what would be useful.

I'll respond here because I'm having similar problems with my Macbook Pro Retina and Premiere 6 crashing far too much.
Computer:
2.3 GHz Intel i7
16GB Ram
Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
The most recent crach happened when I tried to select about 10 audio clips that I had just unlinked fron their video and tried to delete them: "Serious error"
Also get serious errors and crash when trying to move a video clip to the beginning of the timeline while its set to "Show audio time units". Sometimes there is a little gap between the left bumber (beginning) and the video clip, though the audio goes all the way. When I try to move the video all the way to the beginning, crash.
Anyway, I report all of the crashes and give a detailed description. Any help on this would be great.

I have a 2007 IMac 20 inches with serious problems

Hi everyone, and thanks for the help, I have a 2007 20 inches IMac 2.66 Ghz with 4 Gb RAM and 320 Gb od hard disk, and recently I have been having problems, every now and then safari freezes and i can force quit but after that the computer just won't shut down I have to shut it down by pressing the power button for likr 5 seconds and that's ust heartbreaking, beside that I decided to re install the software and erease all, when I used the instalattion disc "Mac OS version 10.5.2" that came with the computer I repaired permissions and repaired the disk... Then when trying to reinstall the Mac OS X the disc just never pass the disk verification, sometimes it says that I have to clean the disk and try again (the disk is perfect) some other times it says that the verification failed because it can't find a software to install.... or something like that... I'm really getting frustrated because I'm following every step on the manual and recomendations... any ideas? please help! and thank you very much

It's possible you have a hardware problem, my recommend would be to do an Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode and see if it reports any problems.
It's also possible your HD is full or nearing capacity. All Macs should have at least 10-15% of the HD available at all times. With a 320GB HD the minimum amount of available space it should have is about 48GB. If you don't know how to check lock the HD icon in a Finder Window and type Command I (that's I as in Ivan) the window that opens will tell you the capacity, the amount used and the available space.

Older Mac with internet problem

What would cause a older Mac, 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 6 gb RAM & OS X, 10.10.3 to lock up when trying to access the internet via Safari? The Techs from MacKeeper have gone thru the system 3 times. If I quit Safari and come back to it will be looking for the site it locked up on. I have to restart to clear.

If the problem is that Safari is opening to a page that cannot be dismissed, the following may be applicable: Phony "tech support" / "Ransomware" popups and web pages.

You should never do that. Uninstall MacKeeper and never install it, or anything like it, ever again. Read below.
Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 required more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Need help with serious problem

Hi.
I thought this was a simple problem, but it turned out to be more complicated than I thought.
I have been experimenting with JFrames and found a problem when trying to disable the maximise button of a JFrame.
The program starts up maximising the JFrame with the line of code below:
setExtendedState(this.getExtendedState()|JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
This seems to be working fine, because it allow the application to start up full screen.
The next line of code disables the resize button on the JFrame's TitleBar:
setResizable(false);
The problem is that when you dubble-click on the Titlebar of the application it responds when it is not suppose to do so.
The program resizes everything to a minimum. Dubble-clicking on the TitleBar again, it won't allow a resize. It looks as if the program ignores the fact that the JFrame has been sized to full-screen, allowing the user to dubble-click on the application's TitleBar once. After that it is ignored completely.
Have anyone experienced this before? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Keith,
Thank you very much for such a quick reply....That's not an SSCCE, See below for an SSCCE... except it doesn't reproduce the problem (for me).
Observered behaviour on Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000] running java version "1.6.0_12" as Administrator is:
1. The form opens in "normal" window state (NOT maximized or minimized).
2. Clicking on the maximize button has no effect.
3. Double clicking on the title-bar has no effect.
So... I presume we're talking apples and oranges (or windows, as the case may be).
Which O/S are you on, what version (distro & release) and what version of the JRE/JDK are you using (java -version, and javac -version respectively).
Does the code I posted reproduce the issue on your machine?
package forums;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
public class NonResizableMaximisedJFrame
public static void main(String args[]) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Application");
    //frame.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("TitleBar.gif"));
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    frame.setSize( 300, 200 );
    frame.setResizable(false);
    frame.setExtendedState( frame.getExtendedState() | JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH );
    frame.setVisible(true);
}... Also please note: Post code between a pair of tags, to retain formatting (as above)... See also: the CODE button above the forum edit-box... along with some other handy shortcuts... Noobs usually prefer the "rich text" editor... and the old sea dogs hate it. Go figure.
Cheers. Keith.

Teachers sharing one dot mac with iWeb need help- sites are being lost

Sorry to be lengthy- Here's the question and issue first and then the background.
Question/Issue: Anyone know a way we can have multiple people (eventually 20 or so) with their own computers creating sites in iWeb and publishing them to a common dot mac account without wiping each other out?
Background:I am a teacher and at our school we have a single dot mac account. A few of us have been using iWeb (2 on iWeb 08 and 1 on iWeb 06) and posting our sites to dot mac with no problems. The iWeb 06 sites went to a folder under Web> Sites>iWeb in our dot-mac's iDisk; the iWeb 08 sites were directly under the Web>Sites folder. When sites were uploaded from different computers there was no problem (they all had unique names) and it worked great until this week.Even the 2 users both on iWeb 08 could send their sites to the iDisk and nothing would be deleted, just more site folders were added.
We are now all on iWeb 08 and so nothing goes into the folder on the dot-mac's iDisk under iWeb, they all go as unique sites- no problem I thought.
Our problem is now that when any one of us update our sites, it wipes out everyone else's site (since their site isn't on our computer). It didn't used to be that way 2 weeks ago !!! Could this be something new with the migration to mobile me (if it is, this really ***** for us)
I know a solution is to publish the sites to folders and then drag to the dot mac in sub-folders under Web>Sites instead of publish and each of us can have our own folder, but its a pain and not all of the teachers will be able to do this.
I think there is a feature in iWeb06 called personal domains, but I think we can only have 2, so not sure if this will help.
Does anyone know a way to set the defaults in the domain.sites2 file or in iWeb so it will use a sub-folder when loading up to dot mac? This way each of us can have our settings different and it will load for us automatically on the iDisk.
Does anyone know why this used to work and now it doesn't?
Any other ideas- Help Please

From my own experience.
When you publish to dotMac the index.html file in the root redirects to the top Site in the list of the iWeb domain file.
I use ca. 40 Sites in some 30 domain files. And most are customized after publishing. Plus a lot more irregular stuff.
iWeb remembers what Site in which domain was published last.
When I choose a different domain file, iWeb will create a new index.html file to redirect to the "new" Site.
As far as I could determine, none of the either published Sites are deleted. If iWeb did delete previous published Sites I would not change domain files.
In your case the following will happen. Every student publishes his/her Site(s). The last one published will be the default Site.
As long as no-one changes his/her Sitename or add a new Site at the top of the list, the default Site last published will be that.
Make sure everybody's Sitename is unique.
I use a custom index.html file in the root. So I have to pay attention that when I publish a new site, the custom index.html page is overwritten. I keep a copy of that index.html file in the root. I can replace the index.html file in case of emergency.
Does anyone know a way to set the defaults in the domain.sites2 file or in iWeb so it will use a sub-folder when loading up to dot mac? This way each of us can have our settings different and it will load for us automatically on the iDisk.
Don't look for hidden settings. If it was possible, it would be visible in the preferences. Accept the way iWeb/dotMac does its job. It wasn't designed to be used by multiple users with multiple computers and only one account. That should give you a hint.
All other problems are purely organizational. Personally I wouldn't trust multiple persons on one account. Give them their own account. If they mess up things they are responsible. Or find another solution.

A serious problem with Mac OS X

Dear Mac Community
Since I bought my first iPod (a 3G), I have been a fan of Apple. For years, I had wanted to make a switch to the Mac. About a month ago, I finally decided it was time to leave the M$ world, and bought a Mini.
My overall experience has been nearly flawless, with no crashes, truly amazing apps that are mac only (like QS, adium, spotlight and the whole iLife bundle, to name a few) and a very good looking interface.
You may've noticed the word "nearly" on the previous paragragh, and it's there for a reason. There is one serious problem I can't solve. I am Brazilian, and therefore, I speak and write mostly in Portuguese. But OS X has no support for the Brazilian layout keyboard. I have been after a solution since day 1 with my Mac, but all I have managed to find out is that there are tons of pages in the web about Portuguese speakers complaining that their keyboards don't work properly. Apparently, this has been an issue since Mac OS 10.0, and until Tiger there isn't a solution for it.
There are many different hacks to try to solve this, and I've tried every one, but they are either buggy, or don't work properly with non-universal apps (including word), or aren't 100% accurate on the keys placement.
The fact is, I write a lot for school, and I need a Brazilian layout keyboard. And my parents, who were also seriously considering switching, work a lot with translations, so it is even more important for them to have the right layout.
I am going to send a complaint for apple regarding this, but I'm skeptical that I'll get a solution, since this has been a known issue for a long time.
Sincerely
Daniel

There is another major problem with the layout I'm currently using which I forgot to say:
- I can type accented letters with almost no problem (á, à, ó, é, etc), except for "è" (e + `), which shows up simply as "e".
"That seems very strange to me. It could be something related to layout id's, which can easily be changed. Let me know if mine works with Word (I assume you are talking about Word2004 rather than the old WordX?)."
I've checked that more carefully, and here's what I've come up with: Word doesn't change the layout to US, it simply stops recognizing the 12th key (the extra one) which is responsible for "/" and "?" (and therefore is fairly important)
btw, I'm using Word 2004
"Thanks. Feel free to email me details and screenshots if you like. Since no one outside Brazil is likely to have the special keyboard with 12 keys on the bottom row, it's somewhat difficult to build and test layouts like this. (tom at bluesky dot org).
Try the one called winbrazabnt73.keylayout, which tries to put in the extra key. "
There is one problem with your layout, which is the fact that no app recognizes the 12th key responsible for "/" and "?" (including Pages, which doesn't have this problem with the other layout I'm using).
On the other hand, your layout manages to type the "è", whereas my other layout doesn't.
In the site you provided above in this thread (
http://m10lmac.blogspot.com/2007/02/fixing-brazilian-keyboard-layout.html), there is an image of different kb layouts available in Windows and OS X. If you could make the Windows Brazilian ABNT and it worked with Word, all my issues would be solved, since that's exactly the layout I'm looking for.
BTW, thanks for all the support

ur reply was helpful, but how should i rectify this problem?
Have you looked at the manufacturer's website to see if there is an updated driver for it?
If that doesn't work, I do not know which of the KP troubleshooting steps might resolve the issue. In your place, I would try each one.

HT6154 Having SERIOUS problems with iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S!!!!

I am having SERIOUS problems here. Let me give you a rundown:
I have to reboot my phone (or turn it off and on again) to see the correct battery percentage (but I'll address that in a second), and once I reboot it or bring it back up again, it has to restart itself (in the middle of use) about 3 or 4 times before it stays on consistantly; all the while reading the percentage of battery it remembers from the last reboot. Now, about the battery percentage: I restarted it before I charged it last night and it read 16% -mind you, after it had to shut itself down and restart 3 times. I put it on the charger all night, and it still read 16%...but I decided to run a battery cycle (charge it all the way up, and drain it all the way down) to see if that would help. Sad to say, it did not help; infact it made things worse. It now flip-flops in between the Apple boot-up symbol and a black screen when plugged up to a charger or a computer. The computer cannot read the phone being plugged in so I cannot do a manual restore from iTunes.
Best yet, I upgraded to 7.1, and had the SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I AM HAVING NOW. I did a complete restore of my phone, and even set it up as a brand new iPhone, not even a restore from the last iCloud backup, and just loaded all my content from my Mac...and the problems decided to follow -even after the fresh restore.
I'm toying with the idea that it may be a hardware problem, but I would love to know if anyone is experiencing the same issue.
I have no idea what to do... please help.
I use my phone for business constantly, and almost cannot do my job without it.

ok well seeing that your are having major issues with the battery and the loading screen it is a hardware issue. reseting it wont help that at all. what you need to do is take it to apple and let them look at it. They can tell you what is wrong with it and how much it would be to fix it ( if it is possible your situation is really bad) but if its not they might give you a discount if you give the iphone to them.

Apple Have Serious Problems With 10.7.5

Apple have very serious problems with their software and they do not have the courage to openly admit this to their customers. My company has been dedicated to Apple and all that is good. We have 2 Imacs, I macbook Pro, 1 mac Mini, 1 mac mini server, 1 ipad, 4 iphones and peripheries. I am on the verge of placing them all on a heap and putting a sledgehammer to them all because I am certain that 10.7.5 is such a corrupted release that even Apple technicians cannot help. My company has been on more and more get around fixes that are becoming more and more complicated by the minute. For the last 4 weeks I have been working 8 to 8 daily including some of the weekends to try and fix things. I have had the pleasure (genuinely) of working for two days following a knowledgeable Apple Technicians instructions to resolve a cloud issue and as of today I sit with one imac completely unusable with all sorts of errors and malfunctions - all software based. Other symptoms on other hardware include error messages saying the computer restarted due to a problem with the computer - even though we are carrying out clean shutdowns or restarts; inconsistent acceptance of passwords to i cloud on most equipment but in particular as highlighted above; nearly all applications opening on restart (I do know how to shut that off - in theory!!!!!!!); frequent and very lengthy beachballs; keychain is an absolute mess, slowdowns to the extent that I have to work on three machines to get the minimum of work done; and other random malfunctions or error messages. Apple's positive attitude to its customers used to be second to none. It seems to me that software (and hardware) releases are now too rushed and Apple do not care about software failures but rely on customers to troubleshoot the glitches for them and do so under warranty or more likely care plan support at further cost to the customer.
Just look at all the questions being asked by customers via web searches on the above issues and more. Lots of questions, no reliable fixes, and certainly no interest shown by apple to resolve the issues - in fact Apple have adopted the say and do nothing approach.
I love the products and have been a loyal ambassador to Apple but now my stress level, and the inability of my company to engage its business put me on the verge of taking every item my company owns with an Apple logo and at least gaining some satisfaction by placing them all in a heap and smashing the lots with a sledgehammer (deliberate repeat as this is now a realistic option)
It used to be a pleasure to use the products, and efficient. I am not looking for help on these matters as an Apple technician is working very hard with us but I feel he is as frustrated as us. We are nowhere nearer resolving our problems and almost daily there are other glitches emerging.
Apple are losing their way. They must listen to the directions given them by their customers frustrations.

Why Apple don't fix half year serious problem with HD3000, Lion and Adobe products? Doesn't Apple really care about advanced users?

Why Apple don't fix half year serious problem with HD3000 drivers, Lion and Adobe products? Doesn't Apple really care about advanced users?
I have Mac mini and Macbook Pro 13". Bouth with HD3000. And I can't work at all. With Snow Lepard I had no problems. It's tiny problem in code. And such pain for lots of users!

If you have a problem with Adobe products, voice your issues with them.
It is the software developers responsibility to maintain compatability
with any operating system, beit OSX or Windows.

Apple please read: Serious problem with Spotlight indexing!

My MacPro has a serious problem and I don't know what to do: Spotlight has been indexing for two weeks now, day and night. When I click the spotlight icon, the info box says that it is "calculating time", which I guess means that OSX tries to find out how long the indexing will take. Consol reports this line again and again (for the last two weeks):
"...pple.launchd(1) (com.digidesign.fwfamily.helper (10466) posix_spawnp/"/Library/Application Support/ Digidesign/fireWire/DigidesignFireWireHelper", ...): No such file or directory"
I removed Digidesign ProTools from this Mac two months ago, and I thought every files were removed. Obviously, Spotlight is trying to remove a file it cannot find... When I set all files to visible (with Terminal), there is NO file with the required name on my Mac.
What is the solution? How do I get rid of this problem? It creates other problem, like stopping any security update I try to install. It also makes saving files veeeery slow, and applications freeze with the spinning wheel for half a minute or more quite often.
I tried to reinstall MacOSX (archive and install), but it did not help. Then I had to authorize lots of plugins (for my music software) again, very annoying (and I lost some authorizations).
Any serious help is what I need.

Hi!
This is another problem that is not related to Spotlight...
launchd is the (sort of) mother of all processes on Mac OS X.
It looks for "LaunchDaemons" and "LaunchAgents" in two folders "/Library" and "/System/Library" (there should be subfolders with the name "LaunchDaemons" and "LaunchAgents").
Go into these subfolders and delete any trace that's left from Digidesign Protools...
That should help to get rid off the error messages.
Then look for other Console messages that start with "mds", "mdworker" or alike. The name of every process that is related to Spotlight starts with the letters "md" (metadata)...
Check with the utility Activity Monitor which process is hogging CPU and/or disk...
Cheers,
Walter

Mac calendar syncing problem with exchange server

Hi, I have been having problems syncing the calendar on my MacPro (late 2013, with OX Y Yosemite, even the earlier operating system) with my work calendar (exchange server). It keeps giving an exclamation mark and the error message is "There was an error attempting to send your changes to the exchange server.".
Mail syncing on Mac with the same exchange server is working perfectly.
I also have iPhone and iPad, and never had issues syncing calendar nor with Mails.
I have tried to create a separate log in profile on my mac and attempt to sync calendar, it makes no difference.
Any advice?
Thanks Shu

There are several ways of exchange server recovery.
Reset the computer account for the lost server.
Install the proper operating system and name the new server with the same name as the lost server. Recovery won't succeed if the server on which recovery is being performed doesn't
have the same name as the lost server.
Or try FREE DEMO of
Recovery Toolbox for Exchange Server http://www.exchangeserver.recoverytoolbox.com
Seriously? Can you recover data or repair the EDB file if it isn't there at all? JET_errInvalidDatabase says database isn't present!

Some serious problems with Mountain Lion

Hi everyone,
I upgraded my mid 2010 15" MBP to Mountain Lion 2 days ago, and I have some serious problems with my machine now.
- Wifi problem: like many members 's machines, mine has problem to connect to the wifi after sleep or restarting, I had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to connected to my home network. Anh I tried to remove all of my settings in System Preferences/Network and added new connection. And now it cant connect to wifi anymore. I'm writing this article while sitting on the floor with my Ethernet cable plugged in my MBP. I connected to internet through a DSL modem and a Airport Extreme as a bridge and Access Point. I also tried to set up all of my network device but my MBP can't connect to the wifi still.
- Keyboard problem with Pages: I was very happy with the new iCloud syncing for Pages documents but after 5 minutes, I met a big problem with Mountain Lion. Whenever I type in Pages with Vietnames Keyboard( Mac OS X built in or from another developer: http://www.trankynam.com/gotv/ ), Pages stops working immediately. I can still drag the Pages's window around but can't type or do any editing. After that I have to force quit pages. It is really stupid that I'm writing a book in Pages and now I have to stop my working till apple fixes this ridiculous bug. I tried German Keyboard as well and Pages worked flawlessly. Do you hate Vietnamese, Apple?
- Messages problem: Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I couln't send or receive any messages. It worked perfectly in Messages beta.
Does anyone have the same problems like me? Any solution such as how to reinstall Messages(I googled but found nothing)
Apple, please test your software more before release it. I feel like I have no computer at the moment because I can't work, can't surfing the web wirelessly and can't communicate with my friends.

HI,
- Messages problem: Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I couldn't send or receive any messages. It worked perfectly in Messages beta.
Does anyone have the same problems like me? Any solution such as how to reinstall Messages(I googled but found nothing)
What Messages to what type of Buddies or Contacts ?
This
I found out that the problem with my wifi was my MBP received automatically a ridiculous IP such as 169.254.170.0 instead of 192.168.1.4 as it should be.
WIll be part of the Issue as will be DNS issues.
mDNSresponder crashed with Handsoff! v1.5.3. After upgrading Handsoff! to v2.0.2, it works again.
In this case mDNSresponder also being stopped will stop DNS working.
I would guess if you have resolved these that you can Chat to people again.

Serious problems after Mavericks installation with External Drive Lacie P9220.

Experiencing serious problems after Mavericks installation with External Drive Lacie P9220 1TB. Mac Finder totally locked!
I had to format the External hard drive with a Windows PC (fat32), then format again with my IMac (mac Journal.) and hopefully restored data from time machine backup.
So far so good but system looks unstable. Some software were not able to write on the hard drive.Some strange things happens. With Mountain Lion never had an even minor issue.
I read many discussion regarding problems with WD, just wondering if anyone had the same problems with Lacie and if there is any tip to solve the
problem.
Many thanks.
Marco

Thanks very much for your reply.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a solution because the article refers to whom have configured the drive with included software and drivers that came with the drive.
This is not my case, I never used any third party soft ...only OS X disk utility ...
best
