macbook froze while online. hard shutdown. when it restarted, an error message appeared saying finder shut down unexpectedly containing a message box with a long list of technical jibberish.  after clicking OK that it would send an error report to Apple, the same error message box appeared again and again every time OK was clicked.  Now the macbook will not turn on at all

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.

  • IPhoto error message saying it shut down unexpectedly.

    I shut down iPhoto and when I try to reopen iPhoto I get an error message saying it shut down unexpectedly and now it will not open at all. 
    What can I do to restore/reopen iPhoto?

    Backup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and use the resulting first aid window to rebuild your database

  • HT204370 My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

    My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

    Actually, try this instead. On the apple tv, under settings > Audio > Dolby digital
    Change it From AUTO (default) to ON
    That worked for me. All my eyetv encodes have stereo and 5.1 tracks. For some reason the auto option forces stereo. Setting it to ON forces the 5.1.
    Everything sounds nice again! It's just stupid that apple puts AUTO for the default and that setting results in stereo not 5.1.

  • My macbook pro os x keeps crashing lately...and not able to even send error report to apple?

    My Macbook Pro OS X keeps crashing lately.  I'm not even able to send the error report to Apple anymore.  What's wrong??

    (Do you really expect other answer if you don't provide any details? And, btw, I don't think Apple accepts crash reports for 10.5 any longer.)

  • I no longer have the option to "Send an Error Report" to Apple?

    After installing Mountain Lion last week, my apps are crashing like crazy. Why do I no longer get the dialog that asks me if I want to send the error report to Apple?

    No setting that does not enable automatic sending. Click the question mark at the bottom of the preference page for a description.
    You will be bale to set how you want the reports sent for an app to automatically, manually or never.
    Set reporting options
    If an app quits unexpectedly, or you must force an app to quit or must restart your computer, you’ll be offered the opportunity to collect information about the problem and send it to Apple.
    If you choose to send the data to Apple, you can then specify any one of the reporting options for future information collection:
    Automatic reporting
    No reporting

  • Macbook pro i7 experienced a hard freeze while I was using Traktor with it. Never seen before dialog box says to shut down using on/off button.

    My Macbook Pro i7 dual core had a hard freeze halfway through my DJ set. At that moment, I had 'mixedinkey' opened on another page but it was not processing any files. The Traktor interface just froze for about 1-2 minutes with the usual rainbow ball spinning and I could not manouvre to another page. Suddenly, the music stop and an error dialog box which I have seen before appeared and say to shut down my Macbook using the on/off button. I did what was said, off the Macbook and on it again and it behaved normal after that. I also did a 'repair disk' with disk utility after that. Now, I am kind of worried it will happen again in the midst of my DJ sets because it is going to be embarassing. Does anybody out there know what actually happened? Is it my hard disk or is it a one time off thingy...any thoughts will be a great help.

  • I am unable to send error reports to Apple or receive software updates

    I am unable to send error reports to Apple or receive software updates. Does anyone know why this might be the case?

    If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 as your profile says, there will almost certainly never be any more software updates, and there's no point in submitting bug reports because the bugs will never be fixed.

  • Black Macbook (Late 2006) shuts down unexpectedly when plugged in!

    I have been having trouble with my Macbook shutting down unexpectedly for the past two weeks and got it checked out and it turned out it was the battery that needed replacement. So I'm using it without the battery but connected to the Magsafe adapter while my new battery gets mailed to me but suddenly it shuts down anyways! What could it be?

    Hello Brine,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    According to the Apple support document below, just bumping the A/C adaptor could cause the Macbook to disconnect and shutdown. Are you positive that this isn't happening?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332?viewlocale=en_US
    Otherwise, you may just have to wait and see if the issue persists when the new battery arrives.

  • MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way.

    MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way. Now that you can't remove the battery, I don't know how to get it to quit, although it doesn't appear to be making any noise, so might have quit on it's own.  Any ideas? Thanks!

    I honestly don't remember what it came with though I do remember having two drives so long ago.  Since then I've had to replace them with newer, faster ones, and just didn't really need a second drive.  I don't copy cds, I just need something to read DVDS (which the current one doesn't seem to want to do) and occasionally burn something.
    I bought the MacPro becuase I am a tireless multitasker, having super memory eating programs on at all times.  Right now I am working in Photoshop while watching a movie, with two P2P programs open, two chat programs and surfing the internet, with two monitors active so I can see everything.. I can't imagine the average pc doing this wthout blowing up   Mac Pros are the ultimate computer for those that like to do a lot at once.
    The speed and memory capacity of the Mac Pro make it the best computer hands down to handle a mind that can't be satisfied with doing just one thing at a time!
    And six years after buying it, it can still eat the average pc for breakfast  How's that for great?

    Hi there. If you have 10.9 Maverick you can get in recovery mode By using /command r Option R or Option. Then you came click on the link to go to disk utilities and repair your disk or do a reinstall of you operating system. I think the screen you are seeing is the recovery screen. Here is a hot of what it looks like. You will have to scroll down a little to see it.http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/05/downgrade-from-os-x-mavericks/   http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4718  This link tells you what you can do.

  • How do I send a bug report to Apple about iPhoto?

    1) Okay this is probably very basic but I'm trying to find a way to send a bug report to Apple about the problems I'm having with iPhoto and PE since downloading Quicktime 7.1.3.
    Can anyone help?
    2) Is there any way of finding out if Apple are onto this problem with Quicktime 7.1.3?
    3) I've also asked on another thread how I can uninstall Quicktime 7.1.3 and re-install 7.1.2. (the reinstaller for 7.0.4 doesn't work on my computer) but so far I haven't got a reply.

    (1) While running iPhoto, click on the "iPhoto" menu and select "Provide iPhoto Feedback".

  • My iPhoto keeps sending an error message saying i photo shut down unexpectedly.  This has happened for 2 days now.

    My iphoto keeps sending me an error message saying iphoto has shut down unexpectedly.  It begins to open the last photo, freezes and reports this message.
    Options are to ignore, report and retry. Retry and ignore get you nowhere.  Report doesn't help either.
    thanks,

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • My macbook (aluminum 13inch) shuts down unexpectedly when battery 45%

    hello there,
    my macbook 13inch-aluminum, 2 years old, shuts down unexpectedly when battery state is at about 45% and when an external hard drive (western digital passport 160gb) is connected, or an iphone on a usb port. This occurs only when my mac is running on battery power. I suppose same thing will happen with any other usb device connected. Last time the same thing happened, i did not have any usb device connected onto my laptop.
    My battery details are
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 2377
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3234
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 276
    Condition: Normal
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 376
    Voltage (mV): 12249
    I tried to reset my SMC settings as well, but this did not help. Any thoughts please?

    Your full charge capacity is about 75% of what it should be, even though your cycle count is comparatively low. If you still have AppleCare, you ought to be able to convince them on the phone or at your local Genius Bar that you have a defective battery, because your capacity should be much higher at that number of cycles.
    If you do not have AppleCare, you will probably have to pay for replacement.
