Macbook Pro Intel Core i5 keeps crashing

My Macbook Pro has been slow lately and it crashes at least twice everyday and I have to force it to shutdown. When it crashes, the screen freezes and only the mouse moves. The clock is not moving and same with the power percentage. I usually have Spotify and Chrome running. Chrome will pop up a message saying that scripts is not responding even though it was just Facebook. What can I do?
Specs:

Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB
Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)

Hi,
My Mac will freeze and only the mouse will move. The clock at the top of the bar will not move and same with the power percentage. I can some how click on the application screen but it will take a long time to move. Bascially everything is very slow and it barely moves.

  • MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4) Failure To Open

    I cannot turn on My MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4) When I took it to a technician he said he needs Bios for my MacBook Pro. Where can i get it? Please help

    First suggestion is to never go back to that Technician, he knows nothing about Apple computers.
    Mac computers do not use a BIOS, they use a Firmware, EFI, and there is no way to get into it.
    You can get a Firmware reinstall disc, CD, from Apple for your system but I seriously doubt that is why your system is  not booting.
    From the type of Intel CPU installed in your system it is more then likely a late 2007 or early 2008 model that is more then likely one of these described in this article.

  • Wireless N upgrade for Macbook pro Intel Core Duo (Purchased 8/2006)???

    Firstly, I am a little angered that apple has not come out with any directly supported options to allow people with my macbook pro to upgrade to the new wireless N capability.
    Therefore I have found a 3rd party option that is being offered by fastmac (http://fastmac.com/ncard.php) that will allow for wireless N wifi.
    My only concern is if having this installed (professionally by them or by an authorized reseller, say compusa) would cause my entire applecare warranty to be voided or just the part that covers the wireless card. I could deal with having the wireless card voided as it would be under warranty by fast mac...

    Your warranty is not voided by installing the Airport card. However, any damage that may be caused by the installation of the card would not be covered under the warranty.
    Secondly, the Airport Extreme card that supports 802.11n is available as an upgrade kit for Mac Pros. Some Apple dealers may be able to obtain and install the card for you in your computer.

  • My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?

    My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?  The Apple web says must have Intel Core 2 Duo. Please advise. Not knowledgeable enough to know if not having the 2 between Core and Duo is a stopper.  Appreciate any guidance. 

    The difference between a Core Duo and a Core 2 Duo is a show stopper when it comes to running Lion.  The Core Duo is still only a 32 bit chip, but the Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit chip.  You need the 64 bit chip to run Lion.

  • Leopard not wanting to install on MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo?

    I want to bump up to Leopard on my two main computers (MacBook Pro Intel, and a tower, also Intel)... but as I'm using them 24/7 on projects I dare not have problems with ... I don't want any down time getting Leopard to run seamlessly on those systems.
    To this end, I 'borrowed' the Leopard disks from my son, for whom I just got a new iMac ... and was going to try it out on my spare (no critical projects) laptop (MacBook Pro Intel). At the beginning of the install the pop-up tells me it can't 'install Leopard on this computer'.
    Could this just be some new security device to inhibit pirating? Related specifically to new iMacs? Or am I going to have problems when I try to install the Leopard I was about to buy to upgrade all my computers?
    All ears,
    B.

    FYI, an OS installer doesn't just blindly install all the OS components it contains; among other things it runs "pre-flight" & "post-flight" scripts to make sure the Mac's hardware is compatible with that version of the OS, to assemble some of the pieces (like preference files) on-the-fly prior to installing them, & to initialize & clean up some of the items placed on the drive during the installation process.
    If it helps, think of it as little mechanized factory that builds customized, turnkey products based on the measurements & specifications it obtains from the buyer.
    The retail version of the OS contains the generalized version of this factory; the OEM disk sets do not, since they are intended for one model only.
    So, if you want to "test drive" the OS, do it on your son's Mac. You won't be violating the license terms & your test will be much more indicative of what you will see with the OS properly installed on your Macs.

  • Got a MacBook Pro 13' (2011) that keeps crashing occasionally

    I purchased this MacBook Pro early at 2011 and fully upgraded it including extended RAM.
    The Mac works great most of the time but occasionaly it crashes with no apparent reason.
    I have no idea if this is a software problem or a hardware malfunction or both.
    Laptop specifications:
    Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
    Running OS X Lion 10.7.5.
    Below you can find the Kernel crash report - would love to get a professional opinion here.
    Many thanks for your help,

    Greetings, I am currently having issues with my MacBook Pro.  I get the flashing folder with the ?, but I can't boot to any of the startup utilities.  I have tried all that I have read about on other posts, such as, trying to boot with the C key held down (it just gets to the folder ?), booting to disk utility didn't work ( held down keys and it went to the folder ?), I also tried getting to the hardware test, by holding D and having the applications disk in.  And still everything I try gets me to the flashing folder ?.  Also I do have the CD's that came with the laptop and tried to install from the mas os install CD and still get to the flashing folder ?.  The reason it started doing this was because of this......  I had boot camp installed and was running dual boot with windows 7, then I had deleted the mac osx on the drive so I would only be using windows 7.  I wanted to reformat the drive after this, but had a hard time finding out a way to actually do this, as the MacBook unlike PC's, doesn't have any BIOS, and at that time didn't know all the key commands to use at startup.  So I downloaded a program from the net that can run at windows start and delete the HD before the computer fully boots windows 7.  So after I deleted the HD I could not install any program or start any of the mac utilities at startup, and I did the PRAM reset, still everything that I try it gets me to the flashing folder ?, in the end.  Could I have deleted all of the startup utilities when I wiped the HD?  If so how can I get these back on my MacBook pro if I can't get the MacBook pro to read any files or start up utilities?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    UPDATE: I found a way to download firmware, I thought that it could be the reason I get the flashing folder with ?, because maybe I somehow damaged the firmware on my computer when I did the reformat.  Alas I followed the directions to re-install the firmware and still I get to the same flashing folder.  I used FirmwareRestorationCD1.4  I think it is the one I needed for my model, MacBook Pro 15"  intel core 2 duo, and comes with osx 10.5 leopard I think, the OSX CD is stamped 2008 for 15" MacBook Pro.  I can't check the properties of my MacBook because it has no programs on it, but this is what I think it is from memory and deduction.  Well now I guess I have to ask the question, is the firmware the programs installed such as disk utility, and recovery mode?  I need to read more I guess, and also I thought I needed to take the 1.4 off the end of the FirmwareRestorationCD in order for it to work, but the instructions for making and using the firmware CD is a bit vague.  Another factor in this to make things more difficult, is that this computer is my second computer and it's a PC laptop, so I used a program download from the net to write .dmg files to disk, it's called Transmac, could this be another fault in my creation of the CD?  I am out of ideas again as to what I need to do to get mac OSX back on my computer,  I am still a bit new to the way macs work, so I could definatley use some advice.  thanks.

  • Will Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo run Snow Leopard ok?

    I have the following system spec on my Macbook Pro which i bought in Apr 2006:
    2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo
    2 G 667 Mhz SDRam
    I would like to know if Snow Leopard will run on my system. I have been getting a few glitches for the last while when running internet related searches for certain sites like Youtube, and sometimes with streaming video. I figured that maybe i need a more up to date OS as i've been a bit slack with updating it. Any thoughts fromt he community are welcome

    Yes. You can run Snow Leopard OK.
    As you're starting from Tiger it's imperative you backup your current system before proceeding. That's best done by cloning it to an external HD using the Restore function in Disk Utility, or you can use third-party software such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
    The reason for this is that although the installation should go smoothly with the installer replacing system files and leaving your user data and applications untouched, I have come across a couple that failed and could only be installed after erasing the Macintosh HD.
    Buy the retail Snow Leopard disc; http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    and update to 10.6.8 with the combo installer; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Be aware that lots of software will need updating, not all of it for free (stand up, Adobe!), and you may well have difficulty getting drivers for older printers or scanners.
    Ensure you select Rosetta from the optional installations to enable your older software to continue working.

  • Can MacBook Pro Intel core i7 (2012) run OS10.6.8

    I just purchsed a refurbished MacBook Pro thinking it would use OSX 10.6.8. This is because most of the software I have may not run on Lion. It just hit me that this computer was manufactured in June 2012 so probably will come with Lion installed. Does anyone know if it will run OS 10.6.8? It is a
    15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Quad-core Intel i7. Not the end of the world if it comes with Lion, but a lot less expensive if I don't have to update all the software.
    OR can you tell me how to find this out (who to contact.)
    Thanks

    Check it out here:
      Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    You will find that any older software that requires Rosetta to run with Snow Leopard will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion. If it's just a matter of minor incompatibilities, then the developers have probably already produced newer versions. Just check them out.
    This I can guarantee, however, is that you cannot run Snow Leopard on that model.

  • MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo

    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 with an Intel Core Duo processor.
    Is it true that I wont be able to upgrade to Lion when it is released?
    My MBP isn't that old so why have Apple decided not to support it?
    Any advice would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    Sadly it's true
    Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
    The Core Duo processor was last used in a MacBook Pro in Mid-2006.
    After that with the release of the Late-2006 MBPs the Core 2 Duo processor was used.
    http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbookpro
    So, it's 5 years old...
    Personally I think Apple has abandoned the Core Duo because it is only a 32-bit processor and not capable of 64-bit.

  • Is my MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 Mid-2010 32 Bit or 64 Bit ?

    I need to know which M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB audio interface driver to install. They offer a 32 bit driver and a 64 bit driver for Snow Leopard 10.6.8. My MacBook Pro is an Intel Core i7 Mid 2010 machine.

    If you mean does it boot into the 64-bit kernel automatically, the answer is "yes." Unless you want to switch to booting the 32-bit kernel then you will need the 64-bit driver. However, the fact that the driver works for Snow Leopard is no guarantee it will also work with Lion.
