MacBook Pro (mid 2007) freezes after upgrade to Mavericks
Hello,
After the upgrade to Mavericks my MacBook Pro (mid 2007) freezes after a couple of minutes of usage - after successful install and the use of some apps. Not bad enough the system is now always crashing if I try to boot. PM reset didn't help. Booting from the restore partition was possible, but I decided to go back to a working backup of 10.8.4 made a minute before I tried to upgrade. Why 10.8.4? Because 10.8.5 causes the strange problem that the Mac freezes after wake up from sleep.
Any suggestions?
Anyone else having this problem?
Kind regards
I did a clean install of mavericks on my MBP (mid 2007) and still it freezes at arbitary points. The very first time when it booted up it worked for longer and when I started to apply updates from app store, it froze. Successive boots froze much early, like within few seconds of booting.
I am going to check this by booting in safe mode. I am losing hope with mavericks on my MBP (mid 2007) and will switch back to snow leopard (10.6.8) which was working seemless.
I checked so many things, based on other posts to make sure if my MBP is really Mid 2007. IT IS.
Rgds,
Raj.

Macbook Pro Mid-2012 slow after upgrading to Mavericks
A few days ago, my macbook started to run very slowly on Mountain Lion. This was the first time that I ever had any issues with it. So I decided to upgrade to Mavericks and see if that would solve it. I did a clean install of the OS and it is still fairly slow (especially chrome). It feels like every time I open a new tab in safari or open a new application, I would get the spinning pinwheel.
I ran disk repair/disk permissions and reset the PRAM and still no luck.
Also, when I close the lid, it will not go to sleep.
Could this be a sign that the hdd is going bad?
Here are my specs:
MBP 13", Mid 2012
8gb 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000
OSX 10.9.4
750gb hdd 5400rpmPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Macbook Pro (mid 2007) freezes randomly
Hi all,
Last week my Macbook pro (2007) started to freeze randomly. 2-3 years ago I added an SSD (64 gb crucial M4) and replaced the dvd drive for an 500 gb HDD. The configuration worked perfectly until last week. My macbook sometimes works for a couple hours and sometimes it freezes just after 30 minutes from startup. Sometimes during an freeze I can use the programs that were open. For example when reading an PDF I can scroll 1-2 pages down/up. When I scroll more than 1-2 pages Preview freezes as well.
I have done the following things to exclude some frequent problems.
Set my fan speed to 6000 rpm to exclude an heat problem. The system freezes also with 'normal' temperatures.
Checked my SDD & HDD on file consistency and repaired the disks with disk utility (booted from Mac Os X install cd). Disk utility reports that the disks are okay. I also checked with Techtool pro on bad blocks and smart status. All seems to be all right.
Checked my RAM with tech tool
Reset NVRAM
Checked console for error messages. There are no messages at all between a couple of minutes before a freeze and a forced turn off/on.
I haven't installed new software recently.
Last time when my macbook froze, I had an terminal window open. In this window I could execute some commands, only the most basic. Top, sudo, shutdown etc. didn't work. I could navigate to all folders on both SDD & HDD. But I couldn't see any files, only folders. That is strange right?
I think the next step is to change the hard drives for an other (new) one, to exclude hard drive problems. But before I open my Macbook I was wondering if anyone has other ideas to solve this problem.
Thanks for any help.
BaukeBack up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "I/O error" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application. Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem. -

Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Here is my problem, I want to upgrade my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a to an Solid State Drive, a Crucial m4 256 gb, I want to know if the macbook will be able to handle it and how do I do the switch. also once I install the drive will I be able to boot from my Snow Leoard original cd and do a clean install. Thank you
Coming from a 5,400 RPM drive that's nearly filled up, fragmented and deoptimized to a fresh install of OS X on a SSD will of course be a improvement.
However fresh installing OS X on a new 5,400 RPM will also see a improvement, boot up in 30 seconds.
A fresh install of OS X on a new 7,200 RPM drive will also see a improvement, boot up in 25 seconds.
A fresh install of OS X on a new SSD will see the best improvement, boot up in 20 seconds on fast SATA connections.
OS X still requires time to setup and that takes about 20 seconds despite how fast your boot drive is, that's why sleep was created.
Things to consider: The higher cost of a SSD, the limiting capacity (hard drives hold way more up), the SATA I speed limitations (slows up on large file transfers), the difficulty to scrub the SSD of unwanted data (like you can a hard drive), and it's limited write capability. Also the smaller SSD's are faster than the larger ones.
SSD's are shock proof, which is their slight advantage over hard drives.
I see a 120GB SSD in a SATA I machine as being a waste, it's too small of a storage space (500GB+ is ideal), the SATA I connection is slow and other factors that make a 7,200 RPM drive a better option in that machine.
One can get a 750 GB 7,200 RPM hard drive for about the same price and still maximize their boot time in the process, also being able to scrub their drive of unwanted data easily.
SSD's can't be scrubbed, one has to fill 50% of the remaining space with many, very small files to overwrite the free space, then do another 50% again to defeat the Trim/wear leveling as SSD's write to less used location each time. If one fills a OS X boot drive up completely, it won't function or won't boot up.
If you do this fill routine regularly with software, then you prematurely wear out the SSD as it has limited writes. Why Disk Utility doesn't offer zero or 7x erase for SSD's.
If your in the 10% of Internet traffic that's going to adult sites, then the ability to scrub the caches and storage drive of embarrassing unwanted data is a necessity. Especially in the light of software and hardware that can read the SSD of deleted data.
Trick links and redirects on poisoned sites can firebomb your Mac with some pretty bad pictures and your hidden caches as well, especially if you don't like to pay.
IT personal have at their disposal free open source forensic software that basically aggregates all the past behavior done on the machine into a nice, easy to view format with times, dates and when and where content was downloaded from.
Since one has to give up their password for repair folks to recover data and fix the machine...
I think a SSD is less of a benefit over a 7,200 hard drive for that particular model of Mac for a mere few seconds faster boot time. -
Compatibility of new apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter L-style and Macbook Pro, mid 2007
My old Magsafe (T-style) is broken and I need new one, but I have dilemma: Is new Magsafe L-style adapter compatible with my Macbook Pro, mid 2007 15.4-inch: 2.2GHz (MA895LL).
Please reply.jbrider11 wrote:
I believe that only works with the computer itself, not the accessories that come with it.
Just looked at the warranty information with an earlier version power adapter (one for PowerBooks) and it is one year. That seems to still be the standard Apple warranty for Apple branded accessories.
Call Apple, go to an Apple store or go online and get it replaced.

Macbook pro Mid 2010 freezes and restarts itself
Hi All, I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2010, 2,4 GHz Intel Core i5, and keeps restarting on its own when launching videos or on Skype.

Macbook Pro (mid-2010) Freezes on Sleep & Wake
I have a Macbook Pro (Mid-2010) that I have had for little less then 5 months. I have had no problems untill now; my computer will not sleep properly. I tell it to sleep or power settings go into effect and the screen will go black but all my keys still work including volume and screen brightness and the computer will continue to run. I then cannot "wake" the computer by any means unless I power down. Are there any suggestions to fix this issue? Or is this a possible hardware issue as I have repaired permissions, etc.
Thank you.
My Specs:
2.66 Gz i7, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HHD (came standard), NVIDIA GT 330M, currently up to date with updatesThe problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.

I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro without retina, should i upgrade to Mavericks? Or will it run slower?
Hi, I bought a late 2013 MacBook Pro without retina display and I want to know if I should upgrade to mavericks since I don't want to make it slower, is it worth it?
angie.ob,
if your MacBook Pro is non-Retina, then the newest model that it could be is a Mid 2012.
The worth of upgrading to Mavericks depends entirely upon your priorities. What is it about having Mavericks on your MacBook Pro that appeals to you? If Mavericks in its current incarnation makes your MacBook Pro run more slowly, do you have a plan by which you can easily go back to Mountain Lion? -
Macbook Pro restarts or freezes after Lion upgrade!
My 2007 Macbook Pro restarts (without warning-it's like losing power and get it back immediately) or freezes EVERYTIME when certain key combinations are used, e.g -b (minus then letter b, not at the same time), copy a sentence long and Ctrl-v, and some others that i am not even aware of.
This happens only after i updated to Lion! First, i thought it is because of the OS, but it crashed even in single mode with those key pressed. So, i used Apple Hardware Test, but it freezes during the test, every time
I tried resetting PRAM,SMC already. This is very weird and I have googled for all day long, hoping to find an answer for this problem but got no luck at all!
As my last attempt today, i backup data, format the hard drive and install Tiger. However, the problem persists. I am Vietnam, so take it to an apple store is not an option as we dont have any here!
Do you guys have any idea? This is driving crazy! 4 clients are chasing me :d
Thanks in advance!Did reinstalling help? If not, then consider reinstalling Lion on a newly formatted drive. Let the system reinstall using Internet Recovery instead of reinstalling from a USB flash drive. The downloaded installation will be 10.7.2.
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
Mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro scroll is choppy after upgrade from 10.6.8
Everything is stock except for a Samsung 840 EVO SSD I installed last year. All applications display the choppy scrolling. I enabled TRIM again on the SSD since 10.9.2 disabled it, however this made no difference. I've been looking everywhere for a solution but no luck so far. The OS I currently have is
OS X 10.9.2 (13C64). Any ideas?I have mid 2012 Macbook Pro, and after the OS X update to form 10.9.1 to 10.9.2, the graphics look really choppy. It concerns almost everything - dock magnification, swiping thorugh spaces, moving windows around the sceen, scrolling in Safari, opening Launch Pad or Mission Control. Restart of the machine did not help. I am really confused about that.

MacBook pro [mid 2012] freezes
Hi Guys,
I bought brand new MacBook pro 2012 (no-retina) from a local store, and it came with 4GB of memory. I upgraded to 8GB and since upgrading it started freezing regulary 1-3 times on daily basis. It freezes on Photoshop, Illustrator, Chrome, iTunes...
I tried to do a RAM test but it went ok, can you recommend me some RAM tests for OSX? I am running 10.7.5 and I am planning to upgrade to 10.8 soon.
The freezing:
I usually have 2-3 programs opened, and listening to Music, suddenly the Mac freezes and I can see the screen and hear a repetitive sound of the music, like 0.1 seconds of the song is repeating all over again. I waited once for 2 minutes but nothing happened. Today I tried to unplug the external monitor - nothing change. Unplug the Mouse (regular USB Mouse) - nothing change here too. But after unplugging the power the MacBook powered off instantly. So I guess while its frozen it doesnt see the battery at all...
The thing is:
I called the store, and they said they will get my 4GB ram back while waiting for a NEW RAM to arrive. I am from Macedonia, and there is no official Apple store here, so I guess the RAMs aren't from the apple store, because I payed 100 Euros which is around $150.
So my question:
1) can you recommend me some RAM testing tool (I've tried with memtest over terminal and it went fine, but it took TOO long to test the memory)
2) have some of you experienced something similar before/upon upgrading the ram to MacBook pro?
Thanks,
MarioHonesty you have already test it. When you have the original RAM installed the system did Not Freeze, Correct?
Then you installed this other RAM and Now the system Freezes. The RAM you installed is either Bad or not the correct type for your Model Mac.
Sure there could be some other reason, But I doubt it. Simple test. Reinstall the original RAM. If the system does not freeze then you have your Proof, the new RAM you bought is either Bad or the wrong type. -
Macbook pro 5,1 freezing after boot
I installed arch on macbook pro 5,1 and it boots, but seems to freeze at waiting for udev uevents to be processed. I was able to get it to boot with acpi=off, but it acpi used to work in the past. Does anyone know how to get it working again, or should I just downgrade the kernel?
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I forgot to mention, I did test with the latest kernel (2.6.39). In fact, I have tested with several ways to install Arch, like net-install (which gives me the current kernel after installation) and even archboot 2011.05. None of them get me pass UDev uevents. I looked around on the internet and one old post report a successful install using the installing CD instead of netinstall. So I suspected it's the newer kernel giving us troubles on Mac After installing from CD (not netinstall) one boots into the system 2.6.33 but then ran into the same problem after pacman -Syu (which upgraded the kernel only to 2.6.34) but adding apci=off let the system boots again.
Unfortunately, I don't know even to carry the investigation further. But I think it's important for the community to look into this. Mac is a popular platform.
I will have this Mac (MacBook Pro 5.1) on my disposal for little while and be willing to do some more test on it. If anyone has suggestion, I'm more that willing to try.
