Macbook Pro: problems after installing Mackeeper

Hello,
a few weeks ago I installed "MacKeeper" on my MacBook Pro. I hoped, that my Mac will become faster again but now I've the problem that Safari, while I'm surfing on the Internet, opens new windows (many times windows of MacKeeper) or new tabs (without content). I've already deleted MacKeeper, but the problem isn't solved...
Furthermore "iTunes" has problems to play songs.
Do you have some advice?

Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

    My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
    What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
    What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
    however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
    On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll,  and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see:  Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
    To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

  • How do I reset my MacBook Pro (2008) after installing Mavericks?

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro is very slow, which could be due to age.
    However, before I just get a new one, I want to try to reset it and basically clean it properly. I have never done that and hope that this could be the solution to the issue.
    However, I simply do not know how to do it.
    I tried reinstalling Mavericks but it does not offer this option..
    Help anyone?
    Thank you very much,
    Ingke

    You need the original discs that shipped with your MacBook Pro in 2008. If you don't have them, you can call Apple (phone # at bottom of page) and, with your serial number handy, order a new set. Cost will be about $25 including shipping & taxes, I believe.
    Once you have your original discs, follow the instructions in Thomas Reed's -> How to prepare your Mac for sale. After you've completed those steps, you'll have a 'clean' MacBook Pro, ready to install updates, software, etc.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Strange behaviors on MacBook Pro before & after installing Snow Leopard

    I am not sure if this is even a Snow Leopard issue. We have a MacBook Pro that up until recently had been running Tiger. A problem developed whereby we could not access the iTunes store. A message that the store was "not available at this time" came up repeatedly while at the same time another computer was able to make connections with it. In addition, when Firefox was opened, a prompt appeared to drag the Firefox icon to the applications folder. Even after this was done, the same prompt would appear during subsequent sessions.
    We updated the OS to Snow Leopard, and the iTunes store problem was resolved. However, there are some other unusual things going on with other applications.
    1. When Photobooth is opened, we get this message: "There is no connected camera."
    2. When we open any of the Office applications, we are greeted with: "To open Microsoft Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), you need to install Rosetta."
    3. The above-described issue with Firefox still occurs frequently. Even though Firefox is located in the Applications folder, there is now a volume named Firefox on the desktop. We can't get rid of it.
    We don't know for sure if the Photobooth and Office issues were present right before the Snow Leopard installation, but they had worked properly in the past.
    One thing we did do is a verify and repair of permissions. There were MANY that needed to be repaired.
    In addition, right around the time SL was installed, the computer was frequently shutting off without warning. The mouse was also operating erratically. It was found that the battery needed to be replaced, as the existing one was expanding and was actually disrupting the operation of the mouse pad. Could this battery have been the source of these problems?
    What are the next steps we should take?

    I suppose your expanding battery problem could have caused some or all of these problems, but most of them sound like software issues.
    If I were you I'd try a few things:
    1. boot from your snow leopard install disk and repair your startup disk with disk utility.
    2. repeat the repairs until no repairs are reported (the toilet paper principle).
    3. repair permissions again.
    4. if the problems persist, trash the preferences files for the misbehaving apps.
    5. if the problems persist, delete the misbehaving apps and reinstall them.
    6. it the shutoffs persist, try a PMU reset.
    7. a PRAM reset would probably be a good idea too.
    8. if none of that works, archive and reinstall.
    there is a freeware utility called applejack that will also do most of this.
    Details on all of these will be readily available with a google search.

  • Strange behaviors on MacBook Pro before & after installing SL & new battery

    I have also posted this question in the Snow Leopard forum as I am not sure where it belongs. We have a MacBook Pro that up until recently had been running Tiger.

    I can deal with parts of this.
    2. When we open any of the Office applications, we are greeted with: "To open Microsoft Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), you need to install Rosetta."
    Snow Leo is very aware of apps that are not coded for Intel processors. This message suggests you have Office 2004 or older. Intel coding did not come to Office Mac until version 2008. Rosetta is an Apple emulation technology that lets apps coded for older PowerPC processors work on Macs with Intel processors. Most emulators do not give the performance of a program running natively.
    You can either upgrade Office to the previous version 2008, buy a current Office 2011, or deal with the vagaries of emulation. Many people reported that Office 2004 had problems, particularly with keyboard input, when used on an Intel Mac.
    NOTE: If you rely on Entourage for a mail client, Office 2011 has dropped Entourage. The business version comes with a new version of Outlook for Mac that replaces Entourage but the Home/student edition does not. If you go for Office 2011 and want to stay with mail features similar to Entourage, you'll have to get the higher-priced version.
    One thing we did do is a verify and repair of permissions. There were MANY that needed to be repaired.
    I would do it again because some of the things you describe sound like permissions issues. Sometimes, updates can install something that changes permissions. You should be using the version of Disk Utility on your hard drive, not the install disk, to insure the settings in your user folder are properly repaired.

  • Macbook Pro temperature after installing Mountain Lion

    Hi guys,
    I wonder if any of you could give me a little help.
    I installed ML about one week ago and i've been noticing that my macbook pro (from mid 2009, 13inch) has been increasing. With itunes, chrome a minor download program called igetter CPU temperatures are around 65/75 and if I open anything new, normally a new page on the browser for instance, it easily reaches 80/85. What puzzles me is that CPU usage is still really low...
    I have repaired some permissions with Onyx and clean up some programs i've installed so far but nothing changed this issue with high temperatures.
    I really don't know what else to do...
    Thanks in advance.

    I have same problem with my 19 MBP March 2012
    64C always, FUN works always
    After starting iMovie iPhoto for example it heats up to 97C
    Terrible!!!
    I dont have time to roll back to Lion, but I think I need to do this
    TC if SMC and PRAM helps write here please
    Anyone can help more?

  • 2008 macbook pro beeps after installing new hard drive

    I install a new hard drive in a 2008 macbook pro and it just beeps. three quick beeps repeatedly. I cloned the new drive from my 2011 macbook pro
    Is anybody experience this same problem? please help
    thank you

    You can't reliably use the clone from one Mac on another Mac of a different vintage.  Boot off an external hard drive after installing the operating system from Apple or the original discs on the external hard drive, and use the migration assistent to import data from the internal hard drive.  You'll want to make sure the copy on the external hard drive does not excede the internal hard drive capacity by more than 85% before cloning and overwriting its contents.

  • Can not open app store on macbook pro/imac after installing Mavericks

    I have just installed Mavericks on both a Macbook Pro and an iMac. I use the same Appleid on both.
    But now I can not open App Store
    I have tried clicking on the App Store symbol in the dock, starting it from the program folder in a Finder window, and starting it from the Apple menu. The result is the same: Nothing happens except that the menubar that was active before the attempt becomes inactive (dark). There is no App Store Window, and no App Store menubar.
    I have one idea why this happens. I removed the "OS X Mavericks" from the list of downloads/purchases in App Store by misstake before I installed Mavericks. If that is the problem how can I solve it?

    Ok, now it works again. I got a Notice that I could update some applications and I answered that I wanted to do that. Then, when I tried to start App Store the menubar showed up but no window. I choosed "Windows - Minimize", exited App Stored and started it again. And now it works - on both computers!

  • Macbook Pro freezes after installing new 4GB of Ram

    So I have a 15" macbook pro (2.4Ghz) that I've had for a few months. It's been pretty good so far, but I've been using it for Ram-intensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as Logic. I only had the 2GB of Ram that it came with, and I was noticing some latency. So I did what everyone recommended and upgraded the Ram to 4GB. I purchased some at my local computer shop (s598: Super Talent 4GB SODIMM DDR3 1066Mhz) I just posted the exact numbers posted on the packaging for this item. I know I need DDR3 1066Mhz, but I'm not sure what the S598 stands for.......
    Anyhow, I just installed this today. And it seems that the system doesn't get bogged down AS much. But my laptop has COMPLETELY frozen up twice within a couple hours and I've had to force shutdown the machine... Is this the RAM causing this?? Would anyone know if installing this Ram can be problematic? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    All of the new unibody MBs/MBPs can use (6GB 4X2GB)
    But yes you should definitely make sure the RAM is seated correctly and you didn't touch the gold part of the RAM during installation. Though if something was seriously wrong it would have made loud obnoxious sounds while you tried to start up.
    Aside from Installation issues, you should reset the PRAM as noted previously. Hold down command-option-p-r at startup until it chimes twice.
    OP, looking at Super Talent's website they don't even have 1066MHz chips listed in their DDR3 chips. All I see is a jump from 800MHz (DDR2) to 1333MHz (DDR3).
    Either way, I can't imagine you got that great a deal for the RAM that even if it is seemingly the correct RAM you can get better deals in the links I posted in my other post.

  • MacBook Pro Crashes after Installing Snow Leopard

    I just installed Snow Leopard on my macbook pro that I've had for 5 years and ever since every app that I open crashes upon opening it. If it does not crash, it'll open the application but render it completely inoperable. The computer also loses mousetrack and keyboard abilities. This happens every time I restart my computer. My computer is also no longer under warranty and cannot run without power cord. Nothing seems to be working correctly since the update. Time to start looking at a new computer? Easy fix? Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you much.

    J-UST-91,
    which version of Mac OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Snow Leopard? Was it working flawlessly under the older version? Do you make a backup of your disk just before installing Snow Leopard?

  • Macbook Pro dies after installing Mountain lion

    After I installed the new mountain lion software, my mac informed me that I had software updateds for all of my other applications now that I had the new framework. After the updates, it restarted my computer. During the restart, the screen went black, it made a low long beep sound, and then it turned off. I cannot turn it back on. When I turn it on and off the white light in the bottom right side of my computer glows so I know it's technically on, but the screen stays black. How can I fix this??

    Hi Lkurth,
    How many times does your macbook beep?
    I found this information from an old Apple support article.
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

  • I have a 'panic Kernel' error screen appear after my MacBook Pro restarted after installing updates

    Hi,
    I have just finished installing new updates, and in order to complete, I had to restart my laptop, as I did so, an error screen came up with all types of jargon on it, mainly, 'panic' and 'kernel', I can not do anything with my mac now, any ideas on how to resolve?

    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot.
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally 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. If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    If you're able to boot, 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.
    Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

    i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
    did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
    thanks for your help

    It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    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.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.
