MAcBook Pro (2010) i7 17" Strange problem (filesystem crash)

About month ago I changed my 1 year old MBP 2009 to MacBook Pro 2010 17" i7 one. I moved SSD (Patriot KOI 256GB) and 8GB of RAM to new device. I have noticed strange problem - sometimes filesystem crashes. When application ask to reboot system (because of reboot or instalation) sometimes system refuse to start - it shows progress bar similar to the one shown when going back from deep sleep. Or I can hear bell (standard one) but after this system powers off. The only way to have system working back is to use Disc Warrior to repair it because Disk Utility from install DVD can't repair filesystem and suggest to reinstall it and take data from backup.
I have no such problems with previous device. It happens even on fresh system for example just after installing Norton Internet Security (when installer asked for permission to reboot). I have no sudden hangs, no other problems at all.
Any suggestions?
During month it happens about 10 times. I even prepared my rescue USB with installed system and Disk Warrior.
Hardware test goes without problems. SMART status of drive is ok.

You can ignore the advice of nearly all the long-time contributors to these Discussions and keep Norton utilities on your Mac, but I guarantee that every time you mention Norton anything in these forums, you will be advised to remove it completely. Perhaps it isn't responsible for your present problem, but I'm certainly not convinced of that, and because Norton software is a well-known cause of trouble in OS X, I suspect many other people reading this thread won't be convinced either.
When you reinstalled the OS on your new machine, did you do so from the DVDs that came with it? Did you completely erase the hard drive?

    non support warning appears pn tv monitor

    However, I still don't get a view of anything on the desktop except for the standard Apple swirl.
    Can you drag windows to the other display?
    In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

  • My macbook pro (2010 13inch) is really laggy when I'm using apps like iTunes and safari. the arrow on the screen seems to not respond and is laggy and when viewing videos it can be really laggy. I just want to know if it was a problem i could fix, thanks.

    You might start with:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your hard disk is damaged. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 Alternatively, you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone onto an external disk.
    Then, look for a hard drive. You can use a 2'5" SATA hard drive, and you can buy it at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ Seagate and HGST drives have good performance, and 7200 rpm hard drives will give you a slightly better performance.
    After installing it, start up from the clone (if you made a clone) or hold Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting (if you created a backup). In the second case, you just have to choose the option to restore a Time Machine backup and follow the steps.
    In the case of a clone, use Disk Utility's Restore feature to restore the external drive content onto the internal disk > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html You may need to format the hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"

  • Macbook Pro 2010 Hard Drive Constant Verification Problem

    Hi guys and girls. I'm at my wits end with my beloved Macbook Pro 2010. Recently in the last 6 months it has randomly on 3 occasions just powered down all of a sudden during operating. When it restarts it comes up with the apple logo and that loading bar underneath but fails to fully load and once again powers off.
    I then go into CMD+R and will find that the Hitachi HDD will state 'SMART STATUS' as 'Verified' and it will verify permissions.When I go to verify the disk it comes up with an error. if i try and do a back up I get the common 'error 20'; message even if I try it to an external hard drive or different usbs.
    In the end I have to reinstall the OSX and install the OSX on a 1TB Toshiba USB, then the mac restarts and works but keeps booting off my Toshiba USB. I end up having to use superclone and transfer it to the Hitachi drive. The Hitachi drive will format and work once the OSX is running.
    Randomly this cycle will repeat itself every few months - ie computer turns off all of a sudden..FAIL loading..and same problem with disk utility.
    I wanted to ask is this as my hard drive needs replacing that this is happening or do I have a more serious problem?

    If I replace the internal hard drive and the same thing happens again, this would mean it is a cable issue?
    https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+Hard+Drive-IR+ Sensor+Cable+Replacement/3031
    Unplugging and reconnecting the cable may resolve it - bad connection
    Yes, that is a possibility.  Reconnecting may solve the issue but that is not a 100% solution.
    How would I go about unplugging and reconnecting it when am installing the new internal hard drive?
    I am guessing that you have a 13" 2010 MBP.  If not, the same web site has instructions for 2010 15" and 17" MBPs as well.  Examine these instructions:

    https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+Hard+Drive+Rep lacement/4305
    Also in terms of the phillips and torx to install the internal hard drive- would this one be suitable that shop sells?- http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/23-in-1-multi-function-precision-screwdriver-n42jx
    NO!  That tool does not have the correct sizes for either driver.  #00 Phillips, #6 Torx are the ones you need.

  • Macbook pro 2010 windows 7 slow stratup problem solution

    Seems to most of people having this problem. Me too. I just find out the reason cause the slow startup. When you guys just finish install the windows 7, should not be any delay on loading screen., right? However, only after you install the SLIC of some kind of brand like sony, will casue the slow startup. In my situation, I installed Sony SLIC then the slow loading screen appeared, when I go back to windows, uninstalled the Sony SLIC, just 2 second flash the goes into loading page. Everything's fine now. So, not sure which SLIC will make you guys machine work better. In my Macbook pro 2010, I use ASUS SLIC, work prefect. Try it out.

    Go find a latest Windows Loader like Windows_Loader_v2.0.5. I installed Alienware SLIC now work like rocket. If anyone still have problems or cant find the Loader, email me, I will send you one. [email protected]

  • Macbook pro 2010 keeps crashing

    hi,
    it has been a good 2 weeks that my macbook pro 2010 13in keeps crashing. It can happen during games or even during light browsing. When it does occur i can hear the sound being looped in the backround. Ive brought it in to apple twice already and they cant seem to reproduce the problem. The temperature doesnt seem to be an issue because even light browsing 50C it crashes. I have to do a hard reset to get it working and sometimes it doesnt recognize my drive or the apple logo boots and after some time it has an O (nothing can load, kinda like no smoking signs with the barred cigarette). Occasionally it also has wifi problems, it disconects and does not reconnect unless i hard reset. All these problems also occur on the windows partition (same circumstances). Please i need some help because i have work and i cannot trust an unstable computer to do work on. (im also running on 10.9) crashes only started after i updated but only on the windows side first.

  • Kernal Panic Help with Macbook Pro 2010

    Hello fellow Kernal Panic enthusiasts.
    I've had random panics more frequently on a Macbook Pro 2010. I've tried correcting permissions, resetting PRAM etc. It seem to happen at random, sometimes with flash (which has been disabled by default) in Chrome. Other occasions its completely random when using the finder, etc. Chrome crashes frequently, and again at random. Same happens for Firefox and Safari – it seems to be whichever I am using most frequently There's no way to repeat the panic.
    Thank you for the help/suggestions in advance.
    Here's a copy of my log:

    Pace is a copy protection software for some third party program your running, it's for Snow Leopard and this issue has appeared here before and once today even.
    Quark Inc was here about their driver, so check them for a update.
    Take note of the softwares above, your going to be reinstalling some of them from fresh sources and updating.
    Run through the Steps 1-8 here and see if that solves your problem.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Disable all at login/boot softwares.
    Yes some third party software mentioned above is not going to work as #8 Reinstall Just OS X will kick their parts out of OS X itself (but not out of Applications), but what you do is reinstall them one at a time, when it's been updated and verified to work with your OS X verison. (uninstall using the developers program or instructions, do not use AppDelete type software)
    Take your time and if problems come back you know it's the last one installed is at fault.
    The object with #1-8 is to make sure machine and OS X is fine, then decide from there what third party software is at fault.
    If your problems continue despite the above software not being run or installed, then proceed with the further Steps #9-16 in the hunt for the real cause.
    Chrome has been known to cause problems around here, it runs a root level updater for all Google software, it's hard to remove and one has to not use any Google software to prevent it being reinstalled.
    Good luck in your process of elimination.

  • 13" Macbook Pro 2010, itunes Hangs playing older protected video

    This is a very odd problem. I have been working on this for several day now and have finally narrowed down the problem and I am looking to see if anyone else is having the same issues playing iTunes protected video content purchased in 2006.
    Herre is the scenario. I have several movies and music videos that I purchased in the early days of Apple offering movies and videos for purchase on iTunes (2006). Titles like BattleStar Galactica 1 season and other music videos. Now these are the 320 x 240 versions. I have never had any problem playing them with my dual core Mac Mini or My 2006 Mac Pro or My white 2006 MacBook. Yet I upgraded to this new 2010 MacBook Pro and I am having problems.
    Here is the problem: If I try to play one of these videos that date to 2006 and are 320 x 240 protected video in iTunes the video distorts kinda like its scrambled I can still here the audio then the whole computer will freeze for 30 or 50 seconds, then the video will begin to play normally with audio and no video distortion. Very Strange.... Heres where it gets better.... From that point on every video I play will pause with the spinning beach ball for 30 to 50 seconds then plays the video normally. This includes newer purchased videos and movies. Also from this point on even playing videos on youtube will freeze for 30 to 50 seconds then play. If I restart the computer this behavior goes away until I try to play one of those 2006 videos in iTunes. All other video content purchased after 2006 the ones that are 640 x 480 play fine and do not cause this issue. The other odity is that if I try to play one of these 2006 videos in quicktime it plays with no problem at all.
    What I have tried: I have tried repairing permissions, zap the pram no luck. I have also tried a new user account no luck. I even went so far as to install a clean install of os X on an external drive and boot from it, still no joy. Lastly I tried the new Graphics update that was just released. While it did fix the problems I was having with Starcraft II it did not fix this problem. As a test I repurchased one of the offending music videos (A-Ha, Take On Me) again from itunes and it did not have the problem.
    Also I have though maybe the files are corrupt but the play fine on my other machines. So I tried a friends identical macbook 2010 13" and BOOM the same problem. Also I tried a Mac Mini 2010 and BOOM same problem (the guy with the mini even had some of his own 2006 content in his library). So the only thing I can think of at this point is that since all the computers that had the problem were using the Nvidia 320m graphics chip and the same versions of itunes that it must be a combination of the DRM and graphics chip having some kind of problem.
    So what im asking here is if any one else is seeing this or could test it for me. Remember it has to be a purchased music video or tv show you downloaded from 2006 that is 320 x 240. Im kinda at a lose for what to do at this point.

    I bought my MacBook 13" three weeks ago, and I am having the exact same problem. I have reinstalled the operating system. I ordered another OS disk from Apple to see if I had a bad disk. I went to the Genius bar at the local Apple store, where they wiped my hard drive to reinstall the OS, and they even replaced my MacBook. I still have the problem. Every genius told me that my files were most likely corrupted, but if that's the case, they should not play on my old ibook, which they do. I also should not have trouble with new content that I download.
    I agree with another poster that I hope that Apple fixes this with a new update.

  • My Sandisk cruzer thumb drive 4.0GB (which is very old, roughly 10 years and I'm not sure about the model) reads "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when inserted in my Macbook pro 2010. How do I get it to work?

    My Macbook Pro 2010 with the latest OS does not open a particular Sandisk Cruzer 4.0GB (which is an old model, about 10 years) thumbdrive with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". Will I be able to read it on my macbook?

    Is it readable in a Windows computer?  If not then you can try Disk Utility to repair the drive-- although that may be dangerous too.
    I haven't had this problem so I out of safe ideas.  There are ustilies out there.   I used the seach term "repair flash drive Mac OS X" to locate some of these.
    If the data is essential there are pay-for services to recover data looked the price was in the range $50 - $1000
    All the best.

  • How to Solve Windows 8 Metro App Crash on Macbook Pro 2010 13"

    There is a known problem
    (See http://www.onebitzero.com/how-to-fix-metro-apps-from-crashing-under-nvidia-beta- driver-296-17-in-windows-8/ )
    that many notebooks equipped with nVIDIA GPU and running Windows 8 will crash some Modern UI (Metro) apps,
    including Game, Camera, Remote Desktop, ... apps.
    My MacBook Pro 2010 13" has an nVIDIA GeForce 320M.
    I installed Windows 8 Pro RTM gotten from DreamSpark Premium and Boot Camp Software 3.2 on my MacBook Pro.
    Unfortunately, I met the Modern UI app crash problem.
    I fought against this problem two days and almostly surrended.
    Unbelievablely, I could solve it.
    Yes. We can simply solve the crash problem by installing the latest 301.42 driver download from nvidia.com.
    But it is not perfect: we will find we can't adjust the brightness anymore.
    I also tried many methods, including modifies .inf files and change permissions but all are failed.
    Except one for which I got an idea from Windows Event Viewer.
    I found I got an error event when I launched the problematic Modern UI app. For example,
    "Faulting application name: wwahost.exe, version: 6.2.9200.16384, time stamp: 0x50107c6e
    Faulting module name: nvd3dumx.dll, version: 8.17.11.9682, time stamp: 0x4b884f8a"
    (Attention! The following steps are at your risks.
    Or you may not try it.)
    The steps to solve the crash problem and simultanously preserve the brightness adjustment function are:
    1. Download the latest 301.42 driver from nvidia.com. Then, click it to extract files to C:\
    and we don't install it.
    2. Copy the Boot Camp nVIDIA driver files from "13-inch MacBook Pro Mac OS X Install DVD,"
    ie. this folder:
    (DVD drive):\Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64
    3. Replace the older nvd3dumx.dl_ with the newer one.
    I.e. overwrite
    Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64\nvd3dumx.dl_
    by
    C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\301.42\WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.Driver\nvd 3dumx.dl_
    4. Follow this tutorial to turn off driver integrity check:
    http://www.killertechtips.com/2009/05/05/disable-driver-signing-windows-7/
    and reboot.
    5. Install the modified driver by clicking
    Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64\setup.exe
    6. Reboot your computer and good luck.

    The method described above is too complex.
    I found a more easy way to solve the Modern app crash problem.
    That is to download the legacy driver 296.10 here
    http://www.geforce.com/drivers/beta-legacy
    Unfortunately, 296.10 and 19x don't solve all problems on Windows 8:
