MacBook Pro Freezes in Login Screen
Hello,
I've encountered a strange error on my 08 MBP (Should not be hardware related). When my computer boots up and gets to the login screen, it simply stops. Mouse clicks and key hits (either onboard or USB devices) do not appear to register, as nothing happens when I do either of these, but I can however move the cursor around freely. Same result in safe boot.
I've checked hardware out via Hardware Test and such, and everything checks out fine. Verbose Boot just goes right on through without stopping. I've connected the computer as a FW drive and pulled the system logs, where I get the following:

Yesterday, I did install MathType. Could this be causing the problem, which I assume is being cause by a font error? If so, how does a font prevent me from using my computer? I would like to resolve this without needing to reinstall OS, as I just did that 7 days ago due to HD failure, which I am still working on recovering preferences, etc. from.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Could boot up holding down command+s so you get into single user mode. Run the fsck like it says on the screen.
Then I would mount the hard drive and delete caches in /Library/Caches and /System/Library/Caches and probably caches in /private/var/db/dyld
If your not sure use these commands, but be careful make sure your in the correct directory by running ls to list the contents or pwd to see what directory your in. Running rm -rf will force deletion of everything in that directory using * :
cd /Library/Caches
rm -rf *
cd /System/Library/Caches
rm -rf *
cd /private/var/db/dyld
rm -rf *
If all else fails you can always throw the Snow Leopard CD in and reinstall the OS. It shouldn't hurt your files any in your profile. Snow Leopard is pretty much dummy proof when reinstalling.
Of use a third party utility like Disk Warrior or something to maybe fix an error. Could try Tech Tool Pro you get with Applecare as well, but I haven't used that in years. Not sure what it does now.

13" Macbook Pro Freezes at Login Screen
Hi there,
I've had my Macbook Pro for about a month and a half. This is my first time using a Mac, so honestly I am fairly clueless as to troubleshooting problems on my own. For the past few weeks, after the macbook has been on or sleeping for several hours, when I open it to log in, the screen is frozen. My mouse won't move and I am unable to type my password into the bar, however, the text cursor still flashes in the log in bar. Sometimes I am able to wait for about five minutes and it becomes unstuck all on it's own, but the past couple of times it has taken so long that I have had to just reboot the computer. I don't leave the macbook on for extended periods of time, and I can't think of anything I have done in correlation to this problem. Any help is appreciated, thanks!A new MBP comes with 90 days of free telephone support. It is in your interest to take advantage of this option.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up.
Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up. I've tried inserting the Mac OS X install disc to run the hardware test(Restart and hold down D), But it still does nothing. Just the black screen. Now I can't get the disc out. I've tried holding down the track pad key upon start up but that doesn't work neither.
What do I do??? Please help.Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

Macbook pro freezes after login
I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15" with a Core i7 2.66GHz processor. Sometime after upgrading to Lion, I started getting the spinning beachball of death just after login. Unlike many posts about freezes on similar MacBook Pros, mine is not freezing before login, but after. I start the machine, login, and then if I try to open any application, the beachball appears and I have to do a hard shutdown with the power button. Then if I restart again, it is usually fine. I was able to fix this problem some time ago by deleting a preference file (plist) for one of my apps (I think), but the problem has surfaced again and I cannot remember how to correct this. Anyone having similar problems, please let me know if you've had any luck fixing it. I am running 10.7.3 (in fact, it seems like the problem may have resurfaced just after the update to 10.7.3, but I'm not sure.)
FYI, I have auto graphics switching off and am still experiencing this problem.Don't worry about the auto graphics switching. Go to "Users & Groups" in system preferences. Then click on login items and removes all of them. I haven't pinned down exactly which one was causing the problem but I suspect it was one associated with my HP printer. I have verified that Dropbox and Magic Menu from StuffIt are OK to leave in the login items. Just remove what you have there and add them back in one at time (if you can't live without them) until it starts to give you trouble again. Let me know if this helps.

Mac Pro freezes at login screen
Mac Pro (2008, dual 2.8GHz quadcore, OS 10.6.8) is set up with
Energy Saver settings: computer sleep 1 hour, screen sleep 5 minutes
Security settings: require password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins
After the computer goes to sleep, upon hitting a key, the login screen appears. However after typing password, there was a message "checking password" and then the computer freezes. I've followed recommendations in Mac Pro Freezing: Checking Password
After the computer goes to sleep, the login screen is frozen. I cannot even enter password. After hard-rebooting it, it appears OK.
Here are the last entries in system.log:

Question: how can I find out what causes the computer to freeze and how can I fix it ?I would say yes to the verbose mode and go one further and make it permanent. Coming to OSX from running Tiger on an XPF install on a beige G3 system (totally unsupported by Apple), it was ALWAYS a smart move and even in new machines running hardware they're built to, you can't lose. For the times I do have to reboot, it's good to be able to watch the startup, as you catch immediately if there's a problem with anything. It is verbose after all...
To turn the mode on, you open the Terminal, and at the prompt, type in
*sudo nvram boot-args="-v"* and hit enter. It will nag you about using the terminal (if you haven't done so before) and you enter your password, hit enter again and you're good to go. (if you want to turn it off, type in *sudo nvram boot-args=* and hit enter and your password again) -
MacBook Pro Stuck At Login Screen Showing White Screen.
Hello.
I recently got a MacBook Pro 13" with Mac OS X Lion.
After I installed some updates and software, i rebooted and now its stuck
at the login screen with a white screen. I can still move the mouse but nothing happens.
I tried to restore my Mac, but it requires an internet connection. My network
is setup as non-DHCP. I have to setup a manual IP address, but there aren`t any settings to do that.
Is there any way to restore Mac OS X without an internet connection?
Thank you for your answers.The only way to use Lion Recovery is with an internet connection.

Macbook pro freezes with grayed screen
MacBook Pro 5,5; OSX 10.6.8
Repeatedly crashes with a translucent gray veil that moves down the screen, and a message box in the middle of the page saying you have to turn off the computer by holding down the power button and then restart.
I think this happens almost always in Safari or Thunderbird - the programs most used.

I hope someone has a suggestion about fixing the problem!Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

MacBook Pro freezes at blue screen after the grey start-up screen.
I was installing the latest updates including the os x. But my mac froze while it was doing so. And now when I try to start my baby up, she freezes after that first grey screen with the logo on it. (Sometimes the power-button won't even take any effect at all, no matter how long I hold it down or whatever)
Please help.
-Lucashi there--
the first thing you need to do is to try a safe boot. do this by holding the shift key during startup until you see the spinning cog under the apple. keep in mind it can take up to 10 minutes or more to go into safe boot. if you get into safe boot the first thing i would do is open disk utility and repair permissions. then i would try for a normal restart. if it still doesn't work, do another safe boot and remove items from /library/startupitems folder and from system preferences > accounts > login items. and then restart the computer. if that doesn't work or there is nothing for startup items or login items, try removing the com.apple.loginwindow.plist and restarting the computer. also, try booting to the install disk and running disk utility. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214. if none of these things work, then try a pmu reset. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319. hope one of those things works for you.

I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

When I turn on a video the screen on my MacBook Pro freezes. I've been through Apple Care and they couldn't fix the computer. I think the fan and the graphics are the problems. I can restart after two attempts. Sometimes I use SAFEBOOT
Please advise the model MBP you have and the OSX you have installed.
Also try a SMC reset:

MacBook Pro Freezes starting up, What do I do?
MacBook Pro Freezes starting up since I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks... What do I do?
Hi Ralph, thanx for your quick answer...
The thing is that I could get tothe login screen but once i got my password introduced, the status bar froze like at 45% and then nothing else happened.
I decided to get back to mavericks, which I did but after several hours installing/downloading from a bootable pendrive that I have with Mavericks on it, when the time came to install an error kept occurring so I just had to take out the hard drive, save my data and swipe all of it out so I could perform a clean installation with a formatted disk, which due to little time left at the office, will perform today when I get there in the morning. Thank you again, I'll write againwhen I finish installing Yosemite, hopefully without trouble.
