Macbook Pro freezes when disconnected from Internet

I'm so frustrated, I was doing important work and now I'm about to pull my hair out, I need to finish what I was doing but I can't even turn on my computer without it freezing, I literally can't even move the mouse because it freezes right on loading screen every time I restart, here's the story.
I disconnected the Internet for just a few seconds, then the computer froze. So naturally I restarted the computer, but each time I restart, it just freezes, I can't move the mouse, I can't click on anything, it's just frozen. Let me know how frustrating that is that you don't have computer access after working on important files.
I have a 2008 non unibody Macbook pro with OS X mavericks, I knew the computer froze when I turned off wifi, but I correlated that with the app that I was running, since I wasn't running the app this time, I thought I could turn off wifi no problem.
But like I said, now I can't even restart or use it at all. I can't even use safe mode because it freezes there too. I can do the cmd+shift+ctrl+r thing and I can connect to the Internet that way, but there's nothing I can do from there. Once I restart, the Internet connection is still disconnected in the main operating system.

Okay I solved the problem. For anyone who runs across this issue in the future, here is the solution:
Step 1) Turn on the computer and hold CMD + Option + S, this will boot the computer into single user mode
Step 2) Type in "Mount -uw /"
Step 3) Type in "vi /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist"
Step 4) Scroll down until you find this part:
<key>Interface</key>
<dict>
        <key>en1</key>
        <dict>
                <key>AirPort</key>
                <dict>
                        <key>JoinModeFallback</key>
                        <array>
                                <string>DoNothing</string>
                        </array>
                       <key>PowerEnabled</key>
                        <false/>
                        <key>RememberJoinedNetworks</key>
                        <true/>
                        <key>RequireAdminIBSS</key>
                        <false/>
                        <key>RequireAdminNetworkChange</key>
                        <false/>
                        <key>RequireAdminPowerToggle</key>
                        <false/>
                </dict>
        </dict>
</dict>
Step 5: Edit the part where it says:
<key>PowerEnabled</key>
<false/>
and change it to <true/>
Step 6: Hit Ctrl + X, hit Y for Yes, press enter.
Step 7: RESTART AND YOU HAVE YOUR COMPUTER BACK!!
I panicked by the way because as someone said earlier, it's nearly impossible to fix:
You cannot fix this problem with Safe Boot, Repair Permissions, Repair Disk, re-install Mavericks, restore from Time Machine backup, reset the SMC, reset PRAM, or boot into single-user mode.  Thus far, the only solution is to boot from a (homemade) Install OS X Mavericks USB, erase the hard drive, perform a clean Mavericks install, re-install your applications, and manually restore your data.
Anyway I'm thankful for Ira Wolf 81 for figuring out, he deserves all the credit for this, I merely repeated his steps and found out he was right. Cheers.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when returning from sleep

    I recently started using a Kensington Bluetooth mouse with my MacBook Pro and the computer freezes whenever I return the computer from sleep. Nothing happens when I press Command-Option-Esc. The mouse pointer moves on the screen and the dock magnification works, but I'm not able to open any programs.
    I've confirmed that it has something to do with Bluetooth because I now turn off Bluetooth before returning it to sleep and it works fine. I just have to turn on Bluetooth using the trackpad and then I can use the mouse again. I'm thinking that this shouldn't be a requirement though.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything I can do to resolve?
    I appreciate any assistance!
    Thank you,
    Chris
    Mouse: Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth
    Bluetooth Version: 3.1965 (3.1965)

    For those of you who are interested, I think I've isolated the issue. If I turn off the option to allow Bluetooth devices to wake the computer from sleep, my computer doesn't freeze when I return from sleep. This is a better option for me than turning off Bluetooth before I put the computer to sleep.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Brand new macbook pro freezing when on the internet and won't fix itself

    Three times tonight I have been on the internet and out of nowhere my macbook pro has frozen. I am unable to move the mousepad or click on anything or click out of the applications. I have to power off the computer to make it work again. How can i fix this? I have only had the computer for 5 days and I am confused at how this is happening already.

    Take it back and get a new unit. If they say "We Will Fix it' then Return it for FULL REFUND, you have 14 days from day of purchase to return it No Questions Asked, and then buy another New unit.

  • Mouse freezes when disconnecting from Internet

    The mouse freezes when I click on the Disconnect button in the Remote Access Panel. It doesn't happen every time. I can't do anything but turn off the computer then boot it up again. Any ideas?
    Power Mac G4 Cube   Mac OS 9.0.x  

    Hi, Fuggles -
    Since the mouse freezing appears to be specific to an action in OS 9, it should not carry over to OSX.
    Some concerns about installing Tiger (OSX 10.4) -
    • Firmware
    Be sure you have updated the firmware in that machine before installing OSX. You can download the appropriate firmware updater from this Apple KBase article -
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75129
    <hr>
    • OS 9 version
    The preceding firmware update installs only when the machine is running OS 9.1 or OS 9.2.x from its hard drive. And, if you plan to use OS 9 as Classic under OSX, it must be at least OS 9.1; OS 9.2.x provides better compatibility for that mode.
    Therefore, you should update your OS 9.0.x to at least OS 9.1, and perhaps to OS 9.2.x. You can do that using download updates, which you can get from these Apple pages -
    Article #75103 - Mac OS 9.1 - Download and Info
    Article #120030 - Mac OS 9.2.1 - Download and Info
    Article #75186 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Download and Info
    Note that those must be installed in sequence; none can be skipped. However, you can skip the need to obtain one or more of those large downloads if you get a retail OS 9.1 or a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD, and do a direct install of that version.
    <hr>
    • Startup Disk
    The version of Startup Disk control panel that comes with OS 9.1 and earlier is not capable of 'seeing' OSX as a valid OS, hence switching to OSX from OS 9.1 or earlier can be difficult. However, there is a solution - download and install a replacement control panel, which can be got from this article -
    Startup Disk 9.2.1 Document and Software
    Note - in spite of what that article states, that replacement control panel will work in OS's earlier than OS 9.1; it as been tested successfully in OS's as old as OS 8.6. It is not needed for OS 9.2.1 or later.
    <hr>
    • RAM
    The requirements for Tiger state a minimum of 256MB of physical RAM; a minimum of 512MB is more realistic. More RAM is better.
    OSX is much pickier about RAM than OS 9 is. If your machine has any after-market (non-original) RAM in it, it would be a good idea to download and run DIMM First Aid. That utility can do some basic tests, but more important;y it can repair some sub-spec modules so that they are compliant with Apple's specs.
    Note - do this before installing the firmware update mentioned above.
    <hr>
    • Hard drive space
    Tiger will need about 3GB in order to install, and runs best when there is an additional 5GB of unused space on the drive (it uses that space for its version of virtual memory, swap files, defragging on the fly, etc.). It would be best if your hard drive has at least 8GB unused space on it before installing Tiger.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when waking from deep sleep

    When I plug in my Mac to charge overnight and go to unplug it in the morning, it will make the sound it does with the CD drive and then it acts like it's coming on. the first time I use it  after I've unplugged it, the screen will come on like normal and show the login screen, when it does I can't move the mouse or type my password in for a minute or two. after about 20 seconds, the screen turns off...however I can turn it back on by clicking the power button but most of the time it still won't let me enter my password or move the mouse around. I'm not sure what the problem is. but it's only been doing this since I've updated to Yosemite.

    Try turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" under the advanced section of the Bluetooth System Preferences.  Hope this helps.

  • 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 trying to shutdown

    My macbook pro freezes and the screen turns blank when i try to turn it off. instead i have to hold down the power button and get the "mac os x shut down or something" message. it happens randomly and i cant figure out what to do. i have tried all of the restarts and have done a virus scan, although i know macs dont get viruses. any help?
    2.2 GHz, 2 GB, 128 Video RAM, 15in Leopard, Intel Core 2 Duo

    Please post the specs of your macbook pro including hard drive size and amount of free space, graphics card, and installed RAM.  This will help folks help you.

  • Macbook Pro freezes when i'm on the internet, help!

    When i'm on the internet, on facebook or youtube sometimes my mac takes forever to load or doesn't end up loading the webpage. When this happens I just restart my laptop. Is there something wrong with my mac? Is there anyway I could fix this problem myself? I just got my mac only 2 to 3 weeks ago so I'd hate to have to already exchange or repair my macbook pro laptop.

    Before you embark on Carolyn's 'nuclear solution' just try my suggestion first. If your Mac then works:
    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but longer in Leopard.

    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Macbook Pro freezes when I unplug USB hub

    When I unplug my USB hub from my Macbook Pro it freezes up and I have to turn it off and back on. I did not have this problem before, it just starting happening recently. The only thing plugged into the hub at the moment is my keyboard which has the wireless reciever for my mouse plugged into it. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated as this makes it a hassle to take my Macbook anywhere.
    The USB hub is Gigaware brand, my keyboard is Apple, and my mouse is a Logitech MX Revolution, if that helps. I also have a LaCie 1tb external hard drive plugged in but that's using the firewire 800 slot so I wouldn't think that would affect it.

    I have a somewhat similar problem with my Macbook Pro and USB hub - it just started happening last week as well. I have a USB (external power) hub that hooks to an audio interface, piano keyboard, wireless keyboard and mouse. I normally have my laptop off when I hook up the hub because I've been traveling. Last week I plugged it in while the computer was on and the hub froze. I turned off the computer and unplugged everything. I turned everything back on and the hub worked...for a few minutes. Now anytime I run any type of audio or video from the computer (itunes, LogicPro, internet video) the hub freezes as soon as I press play. Then the program (like Itunes) freezes and I have to force quit. This makes me wonder if it is not the hub but something that the computer is using to run audio and video. None of my external equipment has caused problems for a year now - there is no new equipment - and just the standard Mac software updates.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when I try to open anything

    Whenever I boot up my MacBook Pro, I let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Then, when I try and click and click on anything, like the browser, the whole computer freezes and the only thing I can do is force it to shut down by holding down the power button. Then I boot up into safe mode, restart the computer and everything works fine. Anything know what the problem is? Thanks
