MacBook Pro Graphic Distort After Upgrading to Lion 10.7.5

Hi,
Recently, I upgraded my mbp which was produced by the end of 2007 (macbook pro 895) with geforce 8600m graphic card, from 10.5.8 to 10.7.5.
I noticed that logic board failure might occur on my mac, however, at least i was fortunate during past 5 years while not that lucky just after ugrading..
My phenomenon is: the screen suddenly distorted and the overall system hung without any response until I power off and restart. I am not sure whether it's just the logic board failure, but I feel that it might have something to do with software as shown in:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20091204-263/graphics-issues-plaguing-os-x- 10.7-lion-upgrades/
Another issue is: it seems the free maintainance announced through http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 seems to be obsolete, isn't it ?

Finally resolved...
It's because of the fact that my mbp is too old to be upgraded to lion ...
Although I've seen successful experiences of upgrading mbp 895 (manufactured by the end of 2007) to lion, it's a disaster due to random death halt according to my experiences..
It seems 10.7.4 could be OK since I have met no problems for more than one week, however, when upgrading to 10.7.5, the death halt happened every half an hour, while even if I downgraded to 10.7.4, it doen't help, while when I continuously downgraded to snow leopard 10.6.8, it works normally.

  • Regular pauses on MacBook Pro 13-inch after upgrading to Lion

    Hi,
    Ever since I upgraded to Lion my MacBook Pro 13-inch (Core 2 Duo) regularly pauses every hour or so; each pause lasts about 5 seconds, and during this time I see the spinning ball and my external HD (which I use for Time Machine) spins up. I also notice that opening certain applications take a longer time (spinning up my external drive); perhaps loading my previously loaded files? I never had this problem in Snow Leopard, but I regularly have this problem now. Any ideas on how to stop the pauses from happening?
    Thanks!

  • I have read that new purchases of macbook pro will get free upgrade to LION OS. When and how do I go about this?

    I have read that new purchases of macbook pro will get free upgrade to LION OS. When and how do I go about this?

    http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/06/06lion.html
    The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request.
    Currently that's the only information available. I suspect more will be posted as we get closer to launch.

  • I added memory to my MacBook Pro (now 4gb) and upgraded to Lion. Now my iphone 4 won't sync-gets stuck at stage 7 of 8 on importing photos. My iphoto is'09 version 8.1.2

    I recently added memory to my MacBook Pro so I could upgrade to Lion and use the cloud for my contact list. It's been a bit of a mess, since I use Entourage as my email program.  The REAL problem I'm having now is that my iPhone 4 now won't sync.  iTunes "quits unexpectedly" at stage 7 (of 8) in the syncing process, where it says it's importing photos.  My iPhoto is '09, version 8.1.2   Is this not compatible with Lion?

    I have the same problem. I'm suspecting a corrupt photo, but the logs don't give me a clue. Or maybe this version of iTunes needs some further tuning.

  • I just bought a 2009 macbook pro with an os upgrade to lion. my question is how do i take the previous owners name (like when i bluetooth) to my name???

    Your MBP should have been given to you with the original installation disks and OS.  The Lion OS is licensed to the person who sold it to you.  You will have create your own account and purchase Lion if you wish to use it.  Those are the stipulations in the licensing agreements.

  • Macbook pro slow internet after upgrade osx mountain lion

    Slow safari after upgrade to osx moutain lion.

    Have you reset Safari? Yet?  Top left corner of the screen next to the apple logo click on the word Safari, then click reset safari, make sure everything is checked then click reset.  Also try:
    Repair your permissions.  Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box.  Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen.  Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.

  • Macbook pro slow start after upgrading to mountain lion

    I have a macbook pro core 2 due originally runing Mac os x 10.6. I upgraded to mac os x 10.8.1 now and realized that the computer becomes slow start and shut down. Scanned with OnlyX and followed the instruction by restarting with hold down option-command-P and R, showed no help.
    How could I solve the problem?
    Thanks.

    Remove items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
    And  HD > Library > StartupItems
    Then restart your Mac.

  • My Macbook Pro keeps restarting after upgrading it to Yosemite!

    Hi, I have Macbook Pro 13-inch early 11, and the only thing that I have upgraded is the ram to 16Gb.
    When I start upgrading the ox to Yosemite I headed to few problems (like it was stoked on 1 more minute for over 30 min so i had to restart my mac and start the installation again and again the same problem but this time i wated for 45 mins and finally it was installed. When for the first time it came to that screen so i can choose my user name and type my password nothing worked so i had to restart the mac AGAIN! Finally it worked but way slower than the last ox.)
    After a day and two my mac started to restart it self for over 10 times in like 4 hours! It didnt mater if i was working on something using different apps or just listing to music, or just by closing the mac all of sudden i would hear the restart sound for no reason! So now it got better and it not like over 10 times in few hours but it still does several times a day specially when i close my mac. After the restart the only thing that tells me that your mac was restarted due to a problem and do you wanna report it and etc.
    I would really appreciate if someone helps me with this stupid problem cause it really is annoying me and im keep loosing my work in middle of working on them.
    Thanks!
    Btw, im running bootcamp also but i dont use it that much but i beleive i had that problem when im ruuning the boot camp also!

    I'm not sure if this is what you wanted though

  • Why is my MacBook Pro very slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.5. - Solutions?

    Hello, hello
    After waiting quite a while - I paid the relatively small amount, and got myselves a new OS.
    But I am very disappointed of the speed - I see that this also was a problem with OS Lion?
    Please assist me. Perhaps others have this problem as well?
    Some info:
    - 2,66 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
    - 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Also
    - Sometimes I run the Parallels Desktop 6 and 9 software, does this affect specs of the new OS?
    Hope to hear from you guys.
    Sincerely,
    Harald

    With only 4GB of RAM, how much do you have devoted to the virtual machine running under Parallels? Even if it's a small amount, it's going to make page outs and swaps used very high. From my perspective, 8GB of RAM is the 'sweet spot' for running Mountain Lion.
    I'm assuming that you've a 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro? If so, you can speed things up by installing the maximum 8GB of RAM. Go RAM shopping at Crucial or OWC.
    Other than upgrading your RAM, the only thing that you can do to speed up your machine is to install a SSD. You can also check the SSDs at Crucial and OWC and decide if one is right for you.

    If yours is a 15" MacBook Pro 6,2, there is a recall program in place for it.  It is described in this article:
    TS4088- http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    PRINT out a copy of the article as a hedge against "we never heard of this." and take it to your appointment at the genius bar. Do not leave until they have run the special VST test that ends in a remarkable PASSED or FAILED screen. [The typical "overnight bake" will not find this problem].
    N.B.> Even if the problem is detected, the time for free replacement may have already passed.
    If they refuse to accept it for free repair under the program, the store manager may have additional latitude to help you. You MUST be polite and professional at all times. Apple wants you to be a happy customer. Folks who shout and threaten to sue everyone will never be a happy customer, so all they get is to be shown the door.
    If the time has expired and you are not willing to pay for the repair yourself, downgrading Mac OS X will make the problem far less likely to occur.

  • MacBook Pro running hot after upgrade

    Hey everyone,
    First off: Upgraded to Mountain Lion and I absolutely love it. I'm running on a December 2011 MacBook Pro Unibody 15", 8 Gigs ram, i7, SSD 256 drive (Apple). It had Lion installed when it came, obviously.
    Now that I upgraded to Mountain Lion, it's running several degrees celcius hotter than before, after a couple of hours of using it. I figured I'd give it a few hours to do its search database thing etc...you know, let the system stuff in the background settle down, but it's still running very hot.
    Is this something which eveyrone else has been experiencing? I've got two methods of checking the tempurature: iStat Nano on the Dashboard (which I don't use for anything else...) and smcFanControl which sits in my menu bar. Both give me the same tempurature and it's running literally about 5 to 7 degrees more (or sometimes even spiking at 15 degrees more for a few seconds) than before.
    Just wondering if I'm the only one? Should I be patient and give it a day or so? Any tips?
    Thanks,
    Nat.

    You're right that in the first few hours ML will be busy in the background running certain processes like indexing Spotlight and Time Machine.
    You can see if these are still indexing by looking at the menu bar. Click on Spotlight - if you get a progress bar saying its indexing, just leave everthing alone till its finished. If you look at the TM icon, it should be slowly circling if TM is still indexing. Again, click on the icon and see what it says.
    If these seem to have completed, check in Activity Monitor.app (Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app) as to what is using up %CPU time. If you see kernel_task is running wild (+80%) , try a PRAM reset. To do so, folllow this procedure:
    1. Power down the machine.
    2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    ‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
    3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should and with the kernel_task process back to normal.

  • No Sound, Safari Slow & MacBook Pro Very Slow after upgrading to Yosemite.

    Hi All,
    Upgrading to Yosemite has resulted in the following issues with my computer/laptop:
    1. I have lost all sound and the sound options are no longer there after looking in Preferences.
    2. Safari only loads parts of pages and then takes forever to load the rest.
    3. Generally the computer has been slow with processes taking over the CPU and there seems to be a lot of hard memory swaps.
    Attached is the EtreCheck.    Any help would be appreciated.   It appears that I also am missing some daemons that are launching.
    Problem description:
    MacBook Pro has been running slowly ever since upgrading to Yosemite.

  • Black screen on MacBook Pro Retina Display after installing Moutain Lion. Need Help!

    My macbook pro (retina) screen went black after I installed Mountain Lion.
    I got a HDMI cable to another monitor and the image worked nicely there.
    But i cant get it back on my MacBook Pro! I tried taking out the HDMI cable, restarting, searching on settings configs..
    What should I do?
    Are there any drivers i should install to get image back on my MacBook Pro Retina Display?
    Has this happened to anyone else?
    Thanks in advance for all the help.

    That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
    But there is a major difference!
    -They have a black screen after they login.
    -My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
    This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
    I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.
    Until now, nothing!
    Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?
    I hope not! I just traveled from the US to Brazil and I dont want to search for an Apple Store here.
    Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.

  • My macbook pro runs slow after install of lion

    i was wondering if anyone is having any issues after installing lion and doing the 10.7.3 update? i noticed a slow performance after i did the  update. i also added 8 gigs of memory hoping this would help, but it didnt i also formatted the drive install snow leo and my boot time was 2 minutes i upgraded to lion and my boot time jumps to 6 plus minutes. i have run the disk permission finds some problems then repair but still my macbook runs slow HELP ME!!!!!

    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, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time when you had the problem – the text, please, not a screenshot. For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time. If the problem is a crash or a shutdown hang, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down.
    Edit out excessive repeats and personal information, if any.
    If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search the archived log, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
    Step 2
    Do the same with kernel.log.
    Step 3
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. For privacy’s sake, 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 do not post shutdownStall or hang logs – they're very long and not helpful.

  • Macbook Pro runs slow after upgrade

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (from 10.6.8) on my 2011 i7 Macbook Pro.
    My computer now runs slower than ever. Boot up takes forever. Shut down takes for ever. I get constant beach ball.
    I am shocked at how horrible this OS is and though there are some "nifty" features, it runs so poorly It's hard to enjoy them.
    So my question is, is this a common issue with Mountain Lion or is it a coincidence and perhaps something is wrong with my computer?
    Thanks!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.
