MacBook Pro (c.2008) freezes repeatedly during startup.

What do I do when my MacBook Pro (c.2008) freezes?  I shut it down, then power it up.  Each time it freezes again, with the grey Apple on the screen and the little gear gizmo below it.

Hello marvelmuriel,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
Best of luck,

  • MacBook pro 15" 2008 freezes at apple logo and spinning wheel

    Have a MacBook pro early 2008 have installed lion but recently started to have problems. Started to freeze a lot so I would restart and most of the time it would work untill it froze again , now it's got worst every time I restart my Mac it won't go past apple logo and spinning wheel just freezes have been trying and trying but same thing freezes. Tried to start in save mode but no still freezes
    Please has anyone got any suggestions thanks

    The startup disk may need repairing.
    Use Lion Recovery
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can cause the system to freeze.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

    Looks like a RAM failure or maybe another hardware failure.
    Can you take out the battery and with the charger connected start up? Same failure?
    Have you tried the SMC reset and PRAM reset? do both twice.

  • Macbook pro early 2008 freezing only in OSX

    Hi everyone,
    My macbook pro early 2008 (last model before the unibodies), 2.4 Ghz, 4Gb, 8600GT freezes only in OSX.
    I'm typing this message right now on the same computer, but on windows 7, bootcamp.
    Whenever I boot up OSX the system freezes every few seconds for a minute, only to resume work a few seconds before freezing again.
    I know it isn´t a harware fault, since I can still boot up in windows 7 and use the snow leopard CD, which brings me to the next point.
    I´ve allready used the disk verifty (which pointed out errors) and the disk repair (which was succesful).
    I´ve also verified permissions and repaired them successfully.
    What I´ve also done is turn off the sudden motion sensor.
    The last thing I´ve tried is running the software update, making sure the system is up to date.
    The battery is a few months old (new one) and the power cable works as well.
    All of which did not work. I really don´t want to do a complete disk wipe since the backing up is horrendous.
    I´ve read a lot on the subject, but since I don´t use an external monitor or have the unibody one the supposed solutions do not apply to me.
    Thanks for you help!

    Please help me out!
    You have already tried the "standard" troubleshooting solutions.  Most times an issue cannot be diagnosed unless the computer is physically examined by a repair tech.
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?  Not enough space can cause the issues you are having as well as a failing hard drive -
    Common symptoms of a dying hard drive are the following:
    Hard drive is making a clicking, whirring, grinding, ping pong ball noise or any other type of unusual noises.
    Hard drive is not spinning.
    Computer is not recognizing the hard drive.
    Sluggish loading of applications.
    System freezes and hangs.
    If you have Apple Care, give them a call.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP for a proper diagnoses. 

  • Macbook Pro Unibody 2008 freezes when switching video cards

    I hava a Macbook Pro unibody late 2008 running Snow Leopard and I have noticed that whenever I switch from one video card to another the system completely freezes after a while. It does not happen while doing something specific or intensive. It seems to be completely random. I have searched in forums and found out that other users are experiencing the same issue but I have found no solution yet. Does anyone know of some way to fix this?

    Try resetting your computer's SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, you may want to download and install AppleJack, a free, open-source utility that runs in Single User Mode and that has sorted out occasional problems with sleep, failure to shut down, etc. on my machines.

  • 15" Macbook Pro (Early 2008) Freezing and Acting Strange

    Hello All,
    I don't have the original disks, and cannot run a hardware test, so no idea what is wrong.  My computer will freeze frequently, often times when I am trying to do multiple things, watch video (flash like hulu), or try to access the items like wifi, battery, date/time or spotlight at the top of my screen. The computer also occassionaly will not respond to the trackpad or keyboard.  The sound icon also frequently X's out, and I cannot adjust the volume from my keyboard.
    I have tried an unsuccessful clean install of Lion, was able to recover from Time Capsule, and it was behaving like this even with snow leopard.  Actually, ever since getting a new Logic Board from apple on a previous service. (Sent in for a top case issue, and for some reason they replaced the top case and logic board...)
    I called Apple Care the other day, they reccomended the clean install, but the computer is out of warranty.  My only saving grace would be if this IS actually a logic board issue from there replacement and they were willing to service it again based on that.
    Anybody experience anything similar or have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Please boot in safe mode and test. Same problems? After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

  • 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2008) Hard Freezing & Apple Refusing Support

    Hi all,
    I have tried installing Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / Vista SP1 32-bit and 64-bit on my 15" Unibody MacBook Pro, and in all instances the machine has hard locked up / froze randomly, which can only be rectified by a hard reboot. Sometimes the machine locks up within 5 minutes of turning it on, other times it may be after an hour when browsing the Internet. Most times it will lock up when actually installing Windows - usually during the 'Expanding files..' stage.
    The lockups happen even when simply running the basic Vista install with no other software, not even the BootCamp drivers. Installing the BootCamp drivers has no effect as the machine also freezes after I have installed them also.
    Bizarrely, OSX works fine on the same machine. I am suspecting a hardware issue with the hard disk (bad sectors?) or SATA controller given the point that it locks up most frequently at.
    I have reformatted the BootCamp partition on the machine a number of times now, and installed a fresh copy of Vista every time to no avail.
    Frustrated at getting nowhere, I took my MacBook Pro into an Apple store to the Genius Bar on two occasions.
    On the first occasion, the staff member dealing with me went into defensive mode as soon as I mentioned running Windows via Boot Camp. He stated that Apple do not support Windows issues and that I had to contact Microsoft. At no point did they attempt to diagnose if it was a hardware issue, despite it locking up during the Windows installation, which to me certainly points to a hardware issue.
    I then called up AppleCare, spoke with level 1 and 2 technicians, but they basically told me the same thing - sorry, we don't support Windows, go and talk to Microsoft.
    The second time at the Genuis Bar was a little more succesful, as I demonstrated the laptop locking up. The genius then repartitioned and reinstalled Vista on the laptop only to see it lock up 13% into expanding files. He told me that if I hadn't got a customised machine that he would swap it out straight away, however because I ordered online and specified the 2.8GHz CPU and SSD disk, I had to call AppleCare. He made a note on the incident report recommending a hardware replacement.
    Today I called up AppleCare again and although the support technician was very sympathetic and helpful, after speaking to a number of departments he was unable to resolve my problem satisfactorily (i.e. repair, replacement or refund) and suggested that I write a letter of complaint to Apple Operations Europe.
    He also said that my problem was down to a security update issued as a patch by Microsoft, which I can't say I agreed 100% with, but went with it. He said that Apple only support Vista in a configuration that was valid at the time of relase of the MacBook Pro's, and that they don't support Vista with any future updates! Curious about this, I installed Vista (non-SP1) and the same issue occurred.
    Finally, I borrowed a friend's MacBook Pro and have been testing it side by side with mine. My friend's laptop works perfectly whereas mine locks up frequently.
    Given all of the troubleshooting I have performed, including trying the same thing on an identical laptop with no adverse effects, I have come to the conclusion that this is a hardware issue, not a software incompatibility.
    Despite all the above, Apple refuses to acknowledge that this might be a hardware problem. I don't care what the resolution is - repair or replacement - I just want a working laptop!
    I have been an Apple convert since 2 years ago, recommending their products to friends, family and colleagues. I've never had a bad experience up until now, however this incident has certainly made me reconsider my view of the company.
    Whilst browsing the Apple support forums, I came across a number of people with identical issues to those that I am experiencing, all without a solution or acknowledgement from Apple. I have included links to these discussions below in the hope that Apple might take a look and comment on them.

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9226253&#9226253
    There are many more discussions pertaining to the same issue on the support forum.
    On the Apple website (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html) it states:
    'Boot Camp supports the most popular 32-bit releases of Windows XP and Windows Vista. When you use either operating system on your Mac, your Windows applications will run at native speed. Windows applications have full access to multiple processors and multiple cores, accelerated 3D graphics, and high-speed connections like USB, FireWire, Wi-Fi, and Gigabit Ethernet.'
    Boot Camp 2.0: Which versions of Microsoft Windows are supported?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1888
    You can install the following Microsoft operating systems via Boot Camp 2.0 or later.
    Microsoft Windows Vista (64 bit) (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) on certain Mac Pro and MacBook Pro computers
    Boot Camp: Macs that work with 64-bit editions of Microsoft Windows Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
    Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit editions are supported on certain Intel-based Macs via Boot Camp, which is included with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    These Macs support 64-bit editions of Windows Vista:
    • Mac Pro (Early 2008)
    • MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008)
    • MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2008)
    • MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008)
    • Mac Pro (Early 2009)
    • MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009)
    Clearly my 15" MacBook Pro supports Windows Vista 64-bit, and my understanding is that Apple should have tested this configuration thoroughly as part of the hardware development QA process. In order to sell a product advertised as supporting a particular feature, surely you must support customers who run into problems using the machine for the advertised purpose?
    Does anyone know the configuration of Windows Vista 64-bit running on the 15" MacBook Pro that Apple supports?
    Has anyone else had luck getting support for these hard lock ups?
    Sorry for the rant - I'm just not feeling the Apple love right now

    hi, good to know that other people also having problems with the late 2008 MacBook Pro.
    I have the following problem which is definately related to the chipset. i recently bought the P256 CMFSSD-256GBG2D and the performance on mac os x was really poor. installation took 20 minutes from an usb stick. i thought the ssd was broken, but its definately not. i removed a 2 gb ram module out of my mbp and tada the ssd runs at full speed. i also put the ssd in a friends macbook pro 4,1 with 4gb ram and "INTEL" chipset and everything worked. after testing the ssd in nearly 8 different systems, desktop computers notebooks netbooks, i definately can say, my ssd works, but not in my nice macbook pro. after opening a thread in the corsair forum, which also got me no positive feedback, i called the hotline here in germany. the guy on the phone said "i will take care of the problem", after 40 minutes on line, getting no answer, i hung up.
    and to make things clear, my macbook runs fine with 4gb ram and a normal hdd on mac os x 10.5.7 and windows xp sp3.
    here is the link to the corsair forum:
    http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=78579
    i think the nvidia chipset was not a good option for apple.

  • Random hard freezing issues, Windows 8 64-bit on Macbook Pro (Late 2008)

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.3 and got a hold on copy of Windows 8 64-bit. As I'm running on my old trustworthy 15 inch Macbook Pro (Late 2008), my hardware is officially unsupported. Over the years I've had XP, Vista, Win7 32-bit and 64-bit running running on the same machine, and thought I'd give Win8 a chance.
    To be able to install Win8 on my unsupported hardware, I tricked the Bootcamp assistant that I was going to install Win7, and after the reboot and start of the Win7 installation, I exited the installer, rebooted, switched DVD to Win8 and did the installation from there. So far so good. For installing the Bootcamp drivers, I followed the instructions in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4894920?tstart=90.
    Now, the machine runs just fine with Windows 8, and I've installed some basic third party applications (Firefox, Spotify, Steam). However, I get completely random hard freezes on the machine (sound looping, no other activity whatsoever) during normal use. These can occur 20 minutes after start, or 3-4 hours in. The freezing behavior is very much similar to how my model can behave under overheating conditions (which mostly have occured in past Windows versions while gaming), however overheating doesn't seem to be the issue here (based on simple palpation ).
    Have anyone experienced a similar problem, or know something about it? My current idea is that some weird things are going on with the Bootcamp drivers, so unless anyone comes up with a suggestion I might try doing a rollback to the point before I installed the drivers to see what I can make of it.
    Thanks!

    Had a few similar short system freezes, after installing Windows 8 x64 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 with BootCamp 5.0.5033.
    There is a suggestion that DisableDynamicTick may fix the problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21565295#21565295. There were similar topics at Microsoft forums: 1, 2, 3. It was said “that this will likely reduce system battery life, so it should be undone when you update your Windows build or if it doesn't resolve your issue”, and that “this problem is resolved in the release versions of Windows 8”.
    Another possibility is that there is indeed a buggy driver, within BootCamp 5.0.5033, or a 3rd party, like a wireless network driver in the following case http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/system-fr eeze-randomly-after-installing-windows-8/49488183-26cf-4389-af21-a85dc366c99a?pa ge=2#LastReply.
    The problem has been noticeable on my MacBook, but not annoying enough yet to spend time troubleshooting. If you find a robust solution, using the links above or other method, it would be interesting to know.

  • My macbook pro late 2008 randomly freeze

    Hi I recently upgrade my macbook pro Late 2008 by adding a 250 go Crucial SSD drive in the main harddrive spot. I also put a 1 To HDD in the place of the super drive.
    Since then, my macbook randomly freeze. I can't see any link to any specific usage. It just happen for no reasons. I had to reboot by holding the power button.

    Hi r.w.p & welcome to the forums...
    Some or all of the following may be necessary - try in this order:
    1. Try resetting your PRAM/NVRAM ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US ). If everything isn't fixed, then continue to follow the steps here including resetting your SMC ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 ) if necessary.
    2. Use Font Book to eliminate all bad and duplicate fonts.
    3. Reinstall (or install for the first time) the .6.1 and .6.2 updates by downloading and installing the combo updater ( http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959 ).
    4. Reinstall 10.6 using your Snow Leopard install DVD by installing Snow over Snow using the upgrade method. Test your system after returning to 10.6. If is good there, then you may not want to re-install the.6.1 & .6.2 updates - if you do, then use the combo updater again ( http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959 ).
    Still no joy, take it to an Apple Store and ask staff there for assistance.

  • Macbook pro late 2008 graphics

    Does the Macbook Pro late 2008 automatically switch to the Nividia 9600m( high performance) graphics chip when you plug in an external display? I thinking about buying a Macbook pro that the display freezes on startup and I think it might be the display chip. Don't know how to switch over chips in this condition.

    Call  your local Apple Store and ask. I don't see that it's still active: Exchange + Repair Extension Programs - Apple Support.

  • Won't power up -- 17" MacBook Pro Early 2008 2.5GHz MB166LL/A MacBookPro4,1 Apple Model #A1261

    I have a 17" MacBook Pro Early 2008 2.5GHz MB166LL/A MacBookPro4,1 Apple Model #A1261. I bought this used last year, and installed one of OWC's 1TB 2.5" Hybrid HD/SSD drives in it last January. No problems whatsoever until the past 2 weeks, when I started having intermittent black screens (NOT display sleep) -- sometimes the black screen would disappear by itself, sometimes I had to (Power button) shut down, and when I restarted, everything was OK. Until yesterday.
    First let me note that, because I usually use the MacBook Pro in the same area in my house, I usually leave it plugged into the MagSafe power cube, and often just close the lid and put it to sleep, instead of going through start-up every time I need to access it. BTW, battery (NuPower) shows 5 solid green dots and does not seem to be a problem
    Night before last, I shut down the MB Pro, and closed the lid. Yesterday, I opened up the MB Pro, and hit the power button. All I got was a brief, non-pulsing white light on the display-locking/“sleep light” button, and a sort of graunchy whisper from what sounded to me like the optical drive, NO screen activity whatsoever, and the “sleep light” went out within 3 or 4 seconds. Could hear NO HD spin-up sounds.
    Tried everything I knew (not much), including disconnecting the MagSafe charger and removing the battery completely, letting it sit a few minutes, replacing battery and charger, and powering up. Same nothing, just another very brief whisper of activity from the optical drive. Being something of an “I’ll try anything, no matter how dumb it seems” idiot, I put a known, working, burned data CD-R in the optical drive. Removed the charger and battery again, waited, put everything back in. Tried to power up. Still nothing, same brief whisper from the optical drive, but the MB Pro would STILL not start up, the CD-R wouldn’t spin up OR eject, and I heard nothing from the hard drive, even with my ear ON the metal right over the drive.
    My next “don’t-really-want-to-do-it” step is to remove the 1TB drive, replace it with the original 250GB drive, see if that works, and, as I have a “Newer Technology” Voyager S3 bare drive (works with both 2.5” and 3.5”) USB dock connected to my main Mac (a mid-2011 iMac, 2.7GHz Core i5, OS X 10.9.3), I’ll try using that to check the hybrid drive.
    I’ve been a Mac-only user since 1989, and somehow this doesn’t seem like a drive problem. I’ve tried every OS X keyboard shortcut on the “OS X keyboard shortcuts” page, and the “sleep light” always comes on for a couple seconds, then goes out, the screen never even shows a flicker of life, and the HD NEVER spins up.
    Can the forum please clue me in with any tricks I haven’t tried yet?
    Thanks
    Bart Brown

    Thanks for the quick response. However, none of the following have worked:
    Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?
    As usual, "sleep" light briefly illuminated -- 2-4 seconds -- then went out. No startup, no chime(s), no screen, no keyboard illumination, no HD spin-up.
    Also try an Apple Hardware Test.
    Same as above. Nada. "Mac NoteBook and Desktop computers shipping with OS X 10.7 or later have a partition on the hard drive or flash storage that contains AHT" -- since I can't get the drive to spin up, I can't access that partition... or anything else.
    You may need the #2 installation disk.
    Well, there I have TWO problems:
    One is that I bought this MBPro on eBay, and received no disks -- it came with OS X 10.9.x installed (and is now at OS X 10.9.3). Is there any way to get “retail” install disks that will work with this MacBook Pro?
    Second is that there's a data CD in the optical drive. Because the MBPro won't boot, I can't get the data CD out even if I had the 2nd Install DVD. Any way I can get this data CD out -- hatpin, barbecue skewer, fencing foil, sledgehammer?
    I talked with OWC, from whom I bought the hybrid Seagate HDD/SSD 1TB drive last November. We tried a few ideas he had — mostly the same as those suggested by “Oglethorpe” (no relation to “Ogie” Oglethorpe in “Slapshot,” I hope!) — none of which worked, as I’ve already indicated above.
    My last-ditch effort-of-desperation is to remove the hybrid Seagate HDD/SSD 1TB drive, and put in the original 250GB drive (never throw away a good drive!), and see if the MBPro returns from the dead. I will also put the hybrid Seagate HDD/SSD 1TB bare drive into my Newer Technologies Voyager S3 bare-drive dock, which takes 2.5” and 3.5” drives, and see if there’s a problem with the hybrid Seagate HDD/SSD 1TB drive. While no longer under warranty with OWC/MacSales, it IS still under a 2-year warranty with Seagate.
    Any other suggestions gladly entertained.
    Thanks again.

  • Macbook Pro Early 2008 running slow, hot even with upgrades - what to do?

    Hello!
    Specs:
    I have a Macbook Pro Early 2008 (Model A1260). I have upgraded both the RAM (from 2GB to 4GB DDR2 667) and the HDD  (from the factory installed 200GB 5400 to a 750GB 5400).
    Previous to this, I was running Leopard, and upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion as my specs match the requirements. On the old/original HDD and RAM, All was good for about 3  months, and in the past month or two, I began to have performance issues, so after trying everything (including a clean wipe & reinstall using Lion Recovery) and doing a lot of reading in these forums and others, I decided/hoped the problem would be remedied with some upgrades (hence the new HDD & RAM upgrades).
    This has helped to the point where I can now run safari without having to force reload or having the whole computer freeze (although that has now happened once), but I wasn't even able to load a youtube video.
    CPU Usage:
    I checked the activity monitor and I'm getting a pretty constant CPU usage of about 50% (even with no other apps running):
    (The above is with just Safari, Dropbox, smcFanControl & Activity monitor)
    My fans are engaged constantly (smcFanControl has my computer at 75º-80ºC at any given time that it's on).
    The CPU usage & temps seems high - but I am not sure haven't found very good answers online.
    Things I've Tried (Post RAM & HDD Upgrades):
    I tried to perform a hardware test (holding D before the gray screen) - and both times I tried it, it did not work, as in Lion just loaded as normal.
    Ran repair permissions - and some things were repaired.
    Tried to run Verify Disk - no dice - the computer froze and I had to use the power button to shut it off & restart
    Reset the SMC per apple support instructions - had no effect on the fans or heat (though I'm still not sure if this is a real problem or not!)
    What I'm looking for :
    Any ideas on what could be going on - is this just par for the course on older models running lion, or is there something more to be done?
    I am really hoping to squeeze a few more years of service out of this machine! Thanks for any advice you can give me!

    Incase you are using your MBP like a laptop (which it is NOT)...................
    According to the user manual it states in part:
    "Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings."
    MacBook Pro: Care, Use, and Safety Information
    "Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn."

  • Macbook Pro Early (2008) will not turn on!

    I have same problem with my macbook pro early (2008)
    I think is unfair to have this problems in the "perfect world notebook"
    I hope you can help me on this
    Regars,
    Carlos.
    ---- MrAngel Discussion-----
    Ok. It looks like does not matter what model is but anyway here is my specs:
    Macbook Pro 15'
    Model: A1260,
    2.5 Ghz Core2Duo/2Gb/512 Mb Vram/250 GB 540RPM
    I would like you review the following posts:

    My macbook pro won't turn on. I press the power button and the little light on the bottom goes white only while I hold it down, the second i don't it goes off. When I do hold it down for a few seconds first it will be solid for like 3 seconds then start flickering
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10115278&#10115278
    When i tried to turn on my mbp today it only turned on for like a second and then shuts off. The light on the front turns on and the battery is fully charged, but it just turns off in a second
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10285598&#10285598
    Hi, I have an Early 2008 Macbook Pro and I used it this morning but two hours later, I found it off. When I push the power button, the white light briefly comes on but it doesn't sound like it's starting up. When I hold the power button down, the white light comes on solid for about 5 seconds, then flashes rapidly. During this time I can hear the DVD drive and other components kick on, but once the rapid flashing stops, all power is lost again
    The problem: Mac will not turn on.
    1. If I hit the power button it is trying to start working (white light is blinking, HDD rotating, CD noise and so on), but gets shutdown as soon as I release my finger from the power button.
    2. The maximum "Working" time is about 5 secs. During this time fans are working, white light is lighting, HDD working, CD does its usual noise. At the last two seconds white light starts flickering.
    3. If I remove all memory slots it is working as usual!!!, I mean working without pressing a powerbutton constantly... and asking for a memory of course.
    How it happened: well, it is usual thing then you are in hurry. Accidentally I hit restart. I didnt want mac to load again, so I did a force shutdown (5 secs an a power button). Thats it.
    What I tried to do: I did all those "shaman" hotkeys to restart SMC. I spent a day!!! by driving around my city and asking Apple providers to fix it with no luck.
    What I am planing to do:
    1. I have an Apple service center here in the Tallinn who are ready to do some diagnostics. The only thing is - I dont trust them my HDD. So I am gonna clone my hard drive data somethere before they get my mac in their hands.
    2. As soon as diagnistics is done I will get a price offer to fix it. It definitely wont be a cheap, since my mac is year and two months old (funny, two months and you are screwed).
    3. If it will be too expencive I gonna do DIY repair.
    What I would like to say to the Apple: please investigate that problem. The motherboard is definitely working. I can not fix it myself with no necessary equipments here, so I have to do expensive motherboard logic purchase.
    Aleks

    since my mac is year and two months old (funny, two months and you are screwed).
    Not if you had of purchased Apple Care.  You would have been covered for 3 years.
    What I would like to say to the Apple:
    This is not the place as Apple does not come to these forums. 
    These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post "technical" questions and offer answers to each other voluntarily.  No one here works for Apple nor does Apple get involved in responding.  Not even sure if they "lurk."

  • Focusrite Saffire 6 USB (1.1) with Macbook Pro late 2008

    Equipment-
         Macbook Pro Late 2008 w/ Yosemite 10.10.2
         Focusrite Saffire 6 USB (1.1)
    The Saffire 6 is a audio interface using USB 1.1 to connect microphones to my Macbook. It has 2 inputs and 4 outputs. I've had this unit for years and has worked fine. I realized today that I haven't used it since upgrading to 10.10 (Yosemite) and wasn't able to get it working. When I try to set it within Sound Preferences, all devices, In and Out, go blank, then come back constantly. It will even change Built-In Mic to "Unknown".
    The Saffire website (http://global.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/saffire-6-usb/downloads) lists two different driver choices to use, but one is labeled specifically for 10.8.5. The other just says "Mac". I'm certain my device is USB 1.1. If it were 2.0, I wouldn't need a driver. According to the website, I should use the 2.9 version.
    How can I check to see if all previous driver installations are clear?
    Is there anything I can check to make this thing work? The Focusrite website (http://us.focusrite.com/answerbase/are-focusrite-products-compatible-with-osx-yo semite) says that the Saffire 6 USB is compatible with Yosemite.
    I've emailed Focusrite and I'm hoping between them and this forum, I can get this working again.
    Thanks!!

    I've spoken to Focusrite. They had me try a number of things. I tried some of my own things.
    Different USB cable
    Deleted VodBurner device
    Repaired Permissions
    Installed/Uninstalled 3ivx codec
    Reset PRAM
    Performed Safeboot
    Removed Startup items
         Growl, Sizeup, Crossover CD Helper, Dropbox
         Disable MagicPrefs from Autostart
    Still not able to get it to work. The device will work on an XP computer but I don't have another Mac to try it out on. Any suggestions?

  • Macbook Pro late 2008 with Mavericks gets Grey screen of death.

    Hey guys..
    When Mavericks was released, I updated my old Macbook Pro (late 2008) 2.8ghz on work, and since then I have had a couple of Grey Screen of Deaths.
    I had none of those before Mavericks, so I guess thats the source of the problem.
    I've been trying to figure out what might cause it, from the crash log below, but I can't seem to figure anything from it, so I was hoping you guys could help me?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be a kernel panic, caused by some PowerManagement from kernel_task. But how do one fix that?

    I am  having similair issues :  MBP 4.1  2008 
    It does not want to reboot at all .
    Stops with the grey screen .Spinning wheel / gear stops spinning  and Mac reboots automaticly to.... get stuck again .
    Ive tried the recovery : No automatic reboot  But same screen : ( grey , stuck stopped spinning wheel)   some how it enters Disk Utility  because I can trigger the voice that ask for the language etc.  (I left it there overnight  without result )  I dont see DU on screen  ( tried second monitor : No luck )
    Did a hardware test : No issues
    Did single user logon  :   fsck   : No problems with the drive ( after 2 runs ) ( 1st runs : changes were made )
    Did Logon Verbose status :  Initial messages :  shutdown reasons : code 128 ...   now followed by code 3
    Tried to reinstall the original OSX ( 2008 )   No luck : grey screen changes to darker screen coming in from the top asking to reboot the system .
    1st real bad signal was : When donwloading Maverick ( again )  to create a bootable USB  the screen started flickering ( this started when pressing the download button ???  - I had to reboot the mac to stop
    2 days later :
    Last Live activity with this mac was : Trying to create maverick Bootable  USB  using diskmaker X )   During this activty the mac died on me .
    I have a full time machine backup : so no worries about data...I hope  )
    This mac is one of the lucky ones with the bad NVDIA 8600m gt cards ... after upgrarding in march 2013 to Lion ..it crashed on me with the black screen of death ...Since apple stopped the guarantee I baked it in the oven at 200 c for 7 minutes  . For the last  months it was working Fine  .   ( Hardware check shows no issues  - and upon reboot it chimes happy ..)
    What could be my next options ?  ( Obvious buying a new one ... This  is allready launched as an idea .   I need more creative thoughts :-)
