MacBook Pro freezes when connected to LCD projector

I just bought this computer in January 2014 and it's running 10.9.4. I am so frustrated because every time I hook it up to the projector where I teach, it hangs and then eventually freezes entirely, prompting a hard reboot. I don't understand why it is doing this to me. I just used it at a conference in March and it didn't do this. But suddenly at this new school, it cannot deal with the projector. I have looked at previous threads with similar titles and they are unresolved. Any ideas?

here are some of the messages from my console at around the time it failed to connect and then froze.

Macbook Pro Freezes When Connected to iPod Classic!

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro that is acting a little funky. Whenever I plug in my iPod Classic to add music everything works perfectly fine until I eject the iPod. My computer then basically freezes up (gives the rainbow spinwheel of death) and it will not recover. The iPod icon doesn't disappear, it just turns light grey and everytime my only option is to force quit iTunes. The problem doesn't end there, my computer is completely bogged down and I have to force shut it down. It is incredibly annoying... The iPod works perfectly fine when I plug it into my fiancee's older Macbook Pro, it ejects fine and I've run disk utility on it using that computer and there are no problems with the iPod. My mid 2010 Macbook Pro runs other USB devices just fine (iPhone, iPad, Flash Drives etc.) it's just the iPod.
Additionally, every since I upgraded to OS X 10.7 the computer will not shut down/restart. It just goes to a grey screen with a spinny wheel and won't fully shut down (I've left it over night to no success still grey screen). I have reinstalled OS X several times so I'm confused on this one as well. Any information on either of these issues would be greatly GREATLY appreciated.

I should add that I can quit iTunes with the iPod connected. When I try to eject the iPod by manually dragging the icon to the trash the funkiness begins (icon doesn't disappear just turns light grey, and the computer freezes). I have found the computer behaves if I put it to sleep with the iPod connected (the iPod will eject properly) and when I wake the computer up, everything works w/o funkiness, however the greyed out iPod icon will still be on the desktop. This is the only way I've found to be able to manage this iPod when connected to this MBP.

What cable for macbook pro needed to connect with LCD projector

I ordered a Mini DVI to VGA adapter, but it doesn't fit into my laptop. What connection do I need for a connection

if you do not have a Mini DVI, that leaves only about 80 models of MacBooks.
Which one do you own?

MBP freezes when connected to VGA projector

My MacBook Pro (15" 2.4Ghz SR, 4Gb) freezes when connected to a VGA projector, doesn't matter whether the DVI-VGA adapter is connected to cable first or last. Boot time while connected to the projector is also inordinately long. I have seen this happen a number of times specifically with other Santa Rosa MBPs.
I haven't called Apple yet on this and I suspect it will require a firmware update to fix; is this a known issue (and is it known to apple?)
thanks
--p

Just to update this thread with what I've posted elsewhere:
On my machine this problem only happens if the computer has been put to sleep before being connected to a projector. That is, put to sleep after being booted but before connection to the computer. It can be connected after booting without sleep. Once it has been successfully connected to a projector, it can be disconnected, put to sleep, awakened and reconnected with no problem.
I think that this "first sleep after boot" issue is what makes the occurrence of this problem so variable.
Some people just leave their computer on for long periods, only putting it to sleep when not using it. If they connected to a projector before putting it to sleep the first time they wouldn't see this problem.

MacBook Pro crashes when connecting via external modem

My new MacBook Pro crashes when I try to connect to the Internet via an external modem. Is it a SW or HW problem? In the latter case might it by the computer or the modem (original).

This is Bob Simpson again from Paris. I followed the advice given in this forum and took out the set of HP printer drivers from the drivers pre-installled in my MacBook Pro and put them on my desktop. After that, the modem worked perfectly. If I want to use my HP Laserjet 1200 printer, I plug it into a USB port on the computer, the computer recognizes it and prints. If I want to use the modem again, I have to take that printer out of my list of printers in the print center. This is a bit of a pain in the neck, but it works. No one at any of the Apple distributers or Apple Care centers was able to figure all this out. Our forum did the job and we should get free awards from Apple, like the installation of the update on all our computers that will settle this problem. Otherwise, my BMacBook pro works like a dream. Many thanks to all of you and jackplug, you don't have to throw away your printer.

Macbook Pro Freezes When USB Plugged In

Just like the title says, my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 running 10.8.2 freezes for an averge of 15 seconds whenever I plug anything into the USB ports. It varies depending on what is plugged in. Phones, both iPhone and Android make it freeze for about 15 seconds, USB drives are usually just a couple seconds. I dont even know where to begin when trouble shooting this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro. When I plug in any usb device I get a short freeze of the pc for about 5 seconds. During my tests, I noticed that the freezing starts from the first time that i move the touchpad. It means that if I plug the usb device and I move the touchpad after 30 seconds, I get the freazing from that time for 5 seconds. if I continue to move the touchpad while I plug in the usb I don't get any freeze. Moreover, I noticed that if in the meantime that I plug in the usb I move the touchpad without any interruption, I don't get any freezing.
I don't know if the problem could be related to the touchpad or not... Help!!!

MacBook Pro Freezes When Viewing Any Video with new iTunes

I, too, am having problems with the latest iTunes update. My MacBook Pro freezes completely. Total lock-up. This happens when trying to view any video, including video podcasts. I have to hold down the power button for several seconds to get my laptop to turn off. Any other MBP users experiencing this?

Hi there, I have the same problem as you guys, everything was fine before iTunes 7.6 or iTunes 7.6.1 I tried both, before those updates I could watch any video in iTunes without any issue, after that when I play a video, a random video my Macbook freeze totally, sometimes comes alive but 90% of the cases I have to make a hard shutdown (press and hold the power button). I can't believe this kind of bugs in a software that is so mature. Help please!

Macbook Pro freezes when iphone connected

I am running OSX 10.8.5 on my mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15-inch. I have iphone 5 running 7.0.4. When I plug my iphone into my mac, my macbook freezes causing me to manually hard shutdown. I recently updated to 7.0.4. I noticed thats when my problems started. I have the 1TB hard drive. I have the 8GB RAM. When I plug my iphone in, iphoto comes up usually causing the entire system to freeze. No other problem works.

I should add that I can quit iTunes with the iPod connected. When I try to eject the iPod by manually dragging the icon to the trash the funkiness begins (icon doesn't disappear just turns light grey, and the computer freezes). I have found the computer behaves if I put it to sleep with the iPod connected (the iPod will eject properly) and when I wake the computer up, everything works w/o funkiness, however the greyed out iPod icon will still be on the desktop. This is the only way I've found to be able to manage this iPod when connected to this MBP.

Brand new macbook pro 15" when connected to external LCD display in high resolution ,flickers often

Hi,
I have brand new macbook pro 15" with retina display.
I have connected external LCD display (Samsung B2230) using Apple VGA adaptor & thunderbolt port. But LCD display flickers quite oftenly. I read community blogs where many macbook pro users like me are facing similiar issue.
There is no problem with LCD display as it works fine with Lenova laptops.
Can anybody please provide me the solution to this problem.?
Regards,
Sam

Macbook Pro freezes when I plug in USB

I've not changed anything about my Macbook Pro (13" early 2011) except upgrade to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and now when I plug in my USB hub (which only has my keyboard, mouse and printer connected to it) the computer freezes completely and I have to press and hold the power button to restart it. If it doesn't do that, then it just doesn't recognise that the USB has been plugged in at all.
Is this an issue with the USB port or something else? I still have AppleCare so will take it to an Apple Store if I can't find out how to solve this problem myself. Anyone had this issue and found a solution?
Thanks.

Did you also try this when booted to the Recovery HD volume? If not then give this a try. In addition, while troubleshooting unplug all USB devices (includeing the keyboard) and try with another device such as only the mouse, which should allow you to move the cursor on screen. What you've done so far is only half of the picture, and doing this with the mouse both in normal boot and when booted to the Recovery HD partition would help determine what the problem is.
It is sounding like the issue is not with the printer and instead is with your computer, so hopefully its just a software configuration snafu, but it could be a problem with hardware.
If you find the mouse will not properly work in any port when booted to the Recovery HD partition, then run the Apple Hardware Test suite (see here: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57352461-263/how-to-invoke-and-interpret-th e-apple-hardware-tests/, but do not run the "extended" test) and see if they bring up any problems. If so then write them down and post what they are here.
