Macbook pro 10.6.8 locks up yet trackpad still moves cursor?

My 2008 Macbook Pro running 10.6.8 (fully up to date) locks up completely though I can still move the mouse on the screen using the trackpad(I have not attempted a USB mouse to see if that still moves the cursor). The Dock does not appear when I mouse over the edge, and I can not get a Command/Option/esc. to pull up the force quit menu(just to see if there is a specific program not responding).
System does not recover given almost an hour to clear this morning. Had to force a shutdown via holding the power button. System restarted fine but has done the same thing twice now today.
I've been having sporadic video issues possibly related to the known Invidia Chipset failure issue. Checked the Mac at the local Apple store(did not present the issue then), was told to bring it back if it has another episode of video problems. I did get a short video glitch just before the second lock up and hit Command/Shift/3 to take a screen shot, which after rebooting showed a normal screen with no distortions present.
This is the first time it has locked up like this. Usually when the video issue happens I just see a reddish tint on the screen or it gets distortion lines over the entire screen.
Would a faulty Video chipset cause the entire system to lockup yet still allow mouse movement? Should I return to the genius bar for another Invidia check?

I have a very similar issue with the trackpad that showed up yesterday on my MBP2008 running 10.6.8. I have been able to attached a usb mouse and navigate but the second I touch the pad, it locks up and the usb mouse becomes unusable. I then have to do a restart using the power button. No video issues though...

My Macbook Pro hard drive got locked. How can I unlock it?

My Macbook Pro hard drive got locked. I have replaced the drive with a new drive. I put the old drive in an external case. How can I unlock the old drive to get my pictures off and put on the new drive. I can see the drive but I cannot get to the iPhoto files because it is locked. Is there an easy fix?

How did the drive get locked? That doesn't JUST happen for no reason. The only way to unlock it is to put it back in to the Mac it came out of and UN-LOCK it.

I appreciate the prompt response. Having read several threads, you can appreciate why I would be hesistant to upgrade to the Lion. All I basically use is Office for Mac and the other basic functions such as email/calendar/address/contacts...etc. I have read horror stories about peoples stuff dissapearing into cyberspace and obvi dont want that to happen.
That's all nonsense. Most people don't post anything if they don't have any problems. People who do have problems usually have very specific reasons for them that they have caused themselves.

Hi. I'm not trying to rush things, you may have a different problem, but your issue looks quite familiar to me. I recently had a problem with the discrete graphics card (the Radeon GPU) due to overheating, all because a faulty application of the thermal compound in the factory.
In my case, the problem started slowly and intermittently, a few days after a gaming session (Quake 3) of about three hours (at the moment, I didn't realized that could be linked to the problem).
This issue is being actively discussed in another threads in this forum, but so far there's enough evidence that it's been causing similar problems for 2011 MBPs owners: screen corruption, black/blue screens, and in some cases, a total inability to boot. Some of the threads I'm talking about:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13150366#13150366
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21110132#21110132
So far, and since the problem seems to affect only the discrete GPU (that's why you can boot in safe mode) a possible solution is to disable it by removing some extensions which prevent OS X from loading the Radeon drivers. This post describing the process (there are different files involved depending of your GPU version, so make sure you are moving the right ones):
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22521574#22521574
In the case your discrete GPU survived and is not permanently damaged, I personally had success by changing the thermal compound myself, which completely fixed the problem (at least for now). I've posted about it here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22630561#22630561
I hope you can find a solution, believe me I know the feeling when you see your expensive machine turning into a brick and it *****.
Good luck!

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often and while surffing on net it gets very slow ...

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther. Why?

My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther.
Why?

But to answer your question, you might be able to create a ISO of the DVD and burn that to a new DVD.
Insert your DVD.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
In the left side of the window, select the “DVD”.
Click “New Image” from the Disk Utility toolbar and select where you want to save the temporary image. For “Image Format”, choose “DVD/CD master” and for “Encryption”, choose “none”.
The image extension in the “Save As” box will be .cdr (this is what you want) — click “Save”.
Once the temporary image is created, it will show up on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Select it.
Insert a blank DVD (I prefer Verbatim discs).
Click “Burn” from the Disk Utility toolbar.
Another problem could be that you burned the DVD using a codec that your new machine doesn't have.
Install Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, that combination will play anything.
Also install Flash for web content and Silverlight for Netflix.

My 2008 Macbook Pro logic board failed...am I still able to copy that hard drive onto my 2011 Macbook Pro hard drive?

My 2008 Macbook Pro logic board failed...am I still able to copy that hard drive onto my 2011 Macbook Pro hard drive?

What you can do is to extract the hard drive from your old computer, put it in an enclosure and connect it to your newer computer, so you can restore your data.
It's not too difficult to do it yourself, but if you think you will do something wrong, take it to a store where you can get your data restored

15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display Lock

Can someone recommend me a good solution for physically locking my 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display? I'm going off to college soon and need to be able to tie the computer up to my desk.
I have a plastic case on my MBP and would definitely want to keep it on. Also I would like to have a solution where it's not going to be off-balnced on one side as I've seen with some products online. I have major OCD so I am looking for the most close to perfect option that doesn't take away from the beauty of the MBP or the physical functionality of the computer. Also, I am definitely not looking to screw anything to the MBP, to be clear.
Thank you for your help.

Macbook Pro early-2011 crashing/locking-up

Hello,
My MacBook Pro (early-2011 model 15") has been locking up and crashing lately. It was recently upgraded to Mavericks OSX.This has happened only a handful of randomn times over the past two months. I don't think it has to do with the OS version because it did this a couple months ago as stated when I had Lion, and also ML. However, in the past 24 hours i have locked up around 5 times and crashed at 3 times. I've attached the crash report below from the latest crash this morning. I use one usb port to connect to a Dell monitor using DisplayLink adapter, and the other usb port goes to a 4-port usb hub that has my wired keyboard, mouse, and phones that I test with plugged into. The mini displayport goes to another Dell monitor. Can anyone help me determine the issue? Does it look to you like the RAM has been corrupted and needs replacing perhaps? Or maybe it is this usb hub causing memory crashes from having so much stuff plugged into it? Log below:

Macbook pro freezes after auto lock

I've a Macbook pro mid 2010 core 2.4 i5 and its is set to auto lock but everytime i try to relogin the screen gets blank doesnt show and display although the keypad gets luminated and most of the time i have to force shutdown to restart the machine.
kindly help as the machine has run out of warrenty and i cant afford to buy a new notebook.

I also have problems, and freezes. But I know where it comes from.
Since 10.6.3, temperature is far higher than on 10.6.2. And that's not due to CPU charge (ActivityMonitor). But iStatpro shows that the GPU is hot too (even idle) !
So I suppose that a background task is charging the GPU (OpenCL related ?).
I use SMCFanControl to speed up fans, but that's just a temporary fix. If Apple does not fix this quickly, I will downgrade to 10.6.2.

MacBook Pro stop responding and lock

My MacBook Pro 13"(2010) sometimes just stop to work and not respond for any command and lock. What I have to do to fix it?

After a week the machine refused to boot to anything. Install disk, external, nothing.
Took it to the Genius Bar. NVIDIA graphics card failure. They are repairing it under the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT exchange/repair program.

Thank you Apple.

Macbook pro backspace and caps lock keys stopped working?

My macbook pro keyboard has suddenly started playing up. The backspace, caps lock and tab keys have stopped working. Nothing has been spilt on it. Any ideas in case it is a software glitch, please?

Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

MacBook Pro blacked out/disk locked

Hello and thank you for reading this. I really have no idea what to do next, as I think I have exausted most options.
My Macbook Pro recently blacked out and I haven't been able to get it to boot/load (?) for several days now. It just stays in the grey screen with the apple on it and flickering wheel, and won't go beyond that. I installed Lion on it a couple of weeks ago.
I bought it in September 2009, and have had it updated every time I have been prompted to do so.
My only concern is that I have been eating away the memory with various media.
After reading some posts here about how to do a recovery, I tried the following:
I have been able to get into Disk Utilities and Mac OS X Installer, but I am not getting anywhere with the choices.
When I try to re-install Lion, it tells me my disk is locked, and I can't go any further.
When I try to restore the system with my Time Machine back-up (USB 1terabyte external hd), it goes as far as 'Select Destination' and brings up a screen saying 'Searching for disks...' but nothing comes, most probably because my Mac HD is locked.
I performed a 'disk repair' in Disk Utilities. The first time it said that it could not be repaired in bold red letters. I tried it again today, and this time it said the disk was repaired successfully in green letters. But, it did not give me the option to restart, so I did so after quitting Disk Utilities. Back to square one!! Same grey screen as I had before. I don't know what else to do...
I am now using my old Macbook.
I will attach pictures of the various screens in my next post if it helps.

Ok, so I tried the Safe Boot, and a grey progress bar appeared. After it filled, it disappeared and left me with the same grey screen as always. I left it going like that for ten minutes, and then gave up.
I have just booted though the Power/Option key and selected my Time Machine Back-up disk. Through there, I clicked on Disk Utility and tried to erase my Macintosh HD.
I wasn't sure which format to select, so I went with the default, which is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
It brought up a message:
Volume Erase failed
Volume Erase failed with the error:
File system formatter failed.
I could only press 'OK'. I then tried to do same format, but with encryption. Same sort of message.
Just tried to do a Restore using Time Machine Backup as the Source, and Macintosh HD as the Destination, but again, this message popped up:
Restore Failure
Not enough space on /dev/disk0s2 to restore
So, I think my luck has finally run out...

Is the new 15" macbook pro retina display (Crystalwell) in stores yet?

call the store you plan on buying it from and ask them. Different stores may have different availability.
