MacBook Pro freezes when idle and while first boot.

Hi everyone, sorry for my english i'm not a native speaker.
I have a problem with my MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.2 15" Late 2011 (MD318LL)
Specs:
- Intel I7-2675QM 2.2GHz
- 4Gb 1333 DDR3
- Radeon HD 6750M and Intel HD Graphics 3000
- 500 GB (5400 RPM)
I bought it while i was in USA it was refubished
Everything was fine while i was in USA.
In russia (yep i'm from russia) macbook started to freeze while first boot (while it cold) and in idle (only in mac os x 10.8.2, i think it's becouse macbook cools down, in windows efi don't give acces to intel hd 3000, so macbook stays hot: cpu 60C\140F )
I changed ram,hdd nothing helped. Ran Apple Service Diagnostic nothing wrong (except for hdd test: error -33000 [wrong drive type] but i think it's becouse of ssd (i changed hdd to ssd to test if hdd is ok)).
Reinstalled Mac OS X same, installed windows same.
Everything fine in startup manager, or while installing mac os x, or while downloading mac os x (cmd+r in start up manager) and laptop is cold.
In games, programs, test everything fine. I think that problem in microcrack (hair crack not sure how in english). Any ideas? Ask any question.

I'm having the exact same issue. It came out of nowhere. I think I should get it serviced first and if will still have it, I will get it fixed.
I have Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. I bought this in early 2011 which is 2010 Model.

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 Photo Booth is opened.

I have a MacBook Pro, purchased June 2008, and have always had a problem with Photo Booth. When I open the program it captures an initial image, but then freezes for 15 seconds up to a few minutes. When it finally unfreezes, every program runs slows while Photo Booth is open and even a few minutes after it's been closed. I have no other problems with my iSight while using Skype, iChat or any web-based video applications. I've tried closing all other programs before using Photo Booth, but that has no effect on the freezing. It freezes even after a restart. I've checked the activity monitor and when the program is opened and freezing the CPU usage is anywhere between 75 and 99%, then it hovers around 25%. Any ideas on what I could do to stop this annoying freezing would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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?

MacBook Pro Freezes when Screensaver is on for a while...

Hello all,
I am experiencing a quite odd issue... I have the most basic, natively-distributed screensaver for my MacBook Pro. Lately, when the screensaver runs for a while, the mac freezes... I have to shut it down by pressing continuously the Power On/Off button... Then, it has some difficulty to 'find' the Hard Disk... The 'swirl' icon in the grey screen freezes as well... So I have to turn it off, wait for a couple of minutes, then turn it on again and... voila! It works... I reset the PRAM, nothing has changed... Any ideas please? I am covered by Apple Care 3-year warranty; is it worth to taking it to the Apple Store in London? Many thanks!

It could also be a heat issue. Macs are designed to performa safety shutdown if the temps approcah a level that could damage something. For the CPU in a silver-keyboard MBP, its around 100C/212F.
Like you. I try to run simple 2D savers that don't overwork the CPU and GPU but even they can cause some heat. Is the bottom of the case on a hard surface so air can flow beneath? Is the hinge area on the back edge unobstructed? The back edge is an important heat outlet.
Have you used Activity Monitor (or "AM"--it's in Applications > Utilities) to see if a background process is eating up processor cycles and therefore making more heat? If you've not used AM before, be sure to change its' "Show" window (upper right edge of the application window) from the default of "My Processes" to "All Processes" to get the big picture.
You can check temps with this free DashBoard widget:

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.

Macbook pro freezes when open finder

Hi, I have a problem with my macbook pro, since mountain lion os 10.8.2 update, every time I open the Finder freezes and I have to shut down my macbook with the button, because it does nothing, it only happens when I open the finder , which may be the problem?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Macbook pro - freezes when streaming video

my macbook pro ( mid 2009) - 8 GB RAM and maverick OS - freezes whenever i stream video in it .. it doesnot happen immediately but after 15-30 min
i need to hardboot it afte that .. then comes the funny part .. when i reboot usually i get the dreaded "flashing" question mark
so i need to do this to get back on track
1. reboot by pressing the "option" key and select the disk to boot from
2. then reboot again by pressing "command" + "option" + P + R - ( reset PRAM )
now voila back in business
this happened 2-3 times in the last 1 week
please dont tell me i need to change the logic board :-)
unless otherwise i stream video, i dont have any issues
( infact only 2 weeks back genius bar ran a hardware test when i took for RAM upgrade and found everything is ok )
thanks in advance
regards

The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

MacBook Pro Freezes, Panics, Heat, and other wierdness.

Hi All,
I have been reading about these events for a while now and having suffered a similar situation with mine I can't emphasize how important it is to go through the process of getting the problems addressed though Apple. I believe there is a power problem with the second generations MacBook Pros. Mine would function perfectly running on battery. If the battery was low and I plugged it in it would freeze within several seconds. Often the Airport icon would not be present after reboot. The Airport is a separate component meaning it has to get power like the hard drive and the CD drive. I believe the added power drain of charging the battery and running the Airport over take the power system somehow. Possibly because of a defect in how the power is handled. Apple may not even be aware of this. The only way they will find out is to call them and go through the repair process. It does take time and it is a pain. The reality is they will not deal with an issue they don't know about. This board is a great place to share ideas with users and get tips but you can't get much hardware help here i don't think. These machine are not very user serviceable and defiantly shouldn't be touched if under warranty obviously. The more calls Apple gets about this stuff the more it will be recognized as an issue. I would suggest following all the advice given here about reseting PRAM and the SMC be followed. Also back up you data and do a complete reinstall. Apple will suggest you do all those things so when you call you can tell them you have. The first person you talk to may not be the best. Ask to speak with a tech. The big thing is to be calm and patient. It will get you much further than being irate. My machine is being replaced after tow repair visits. Apple will honer their warranty. I think as time goes by the will get it that there are a lot of machines out there with this problem. I am sure they will not issue a recall but handle them on a case by case basis.
I am pretty sure these freezes and panics are not a software issue. Call Apple. There is strength in numbers.
Good luck

Brand New MacBook Pro Freezes When Playing Games

My sister recently received a brand new MacBook Pro courtesy of the University of Arizona and already she is having problems. When my sister plays a Java based game utilizing the Open Gl graphics plugin her computer will sometimes freeze after the graphics become distorted. during the freeze only the mouse will move and everything else is unresponsive, the only solution is to shut of the computer using the power button. All the updates have been installed and this doesn't happen any other time then when playing that game. This neither happens on her PC nor does it mine playing the same game. I'm not sure what the problem is and I would appreciate any help.

Is this Java based game Runescape? I experience the same crashes, ive tried using other things in-game other than the OpenGl and i still experience crashes, much more often when i have iTunes running while trying to play. Ive never had problems like this before, even while using older computers with much less memory, etc.. This is my first mac and id have to say it's not leaving a good impression. I planned to be able to play some games on this and consider Runescape requires very low CPU this is kind of sad that a Mac can't process it without crashing. Ive been reading lots of similar posts online and it sounds like Apple should be worried more about customer satisfaction than their own stocks. Hope something works out soon!!
