Macbook Pro retina freezes and then restarts

I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2012) and it was working fine till I installed Yosemite. I would like to know is there any way to solve this problem? It is hard to work on computer which restarts about 2 times a day.
Processor 2.3Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory 8GB
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1GB

Hi EditorBob,
That doesn't sound good. Have you run the Hardware Test (Using instructions described here - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303605 ) ?
The problem may be related to bad RAM, but if the hardware test doesn't find anything, you should probably take it into an Apple service center or store.

  • My MacBook Pro is freezing and then restarts.  Kernal Log showing I/O errors

    My MacBook Pro is freezing up and then restarts.  It started happening about 2 weeks ago.  After several attempts to resolve it, I did a clean install of snow leopard.  And then did a SW Update.  I have no thrid party devices, ram, or HD.  My machine is 2 GHz Intel Core Duo.  2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    My Kernel log is showing a bunch of I/O errors.   I think I have a sick baby.  Any thoughts

    William, Thank you.  I did do the reformat with the DVD SL Disk Utility with the write zeros once option. 
    I think the way to go is buy a new HD.  They are cheap enough.  In researching this, I found some discussions that there are some possible issues with using the newer SATA 3.0 GBs drive on my old intel core due macbook pro.
    Here are 2 threads - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2673222?threadID=2673222&tstart=180 and http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/206962-will-hard-drive-fit-my-m acbook.html
    Do you have an opinion on that?
    I found this one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Western+Digital+-+Scorpio+Blue+250GB+Internal+Serial +ATA+Hard+Drive+for+Laptops/9024147.p?id=1218012522486&skuId=9024147&st=WDBABB25 00ANC-NRSN&cp=1&lp=1
    which looks like it is compatible.
    Am I better off buying a genuine apple replacement or an OEM?
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?

    Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?
    E.g. Dell allows you to plug the laptop into AC power but prevent battery charging.
    Note: I do not want to physically remove the battery.
    If there isn't an option on Mac OS, is there anything I can download to bypass the battery when I want?

    Thanks for linking me! Wow I had no idea the clock speed would be cut so severely! What a bunch of rubbish, as if the AC won't provide enough power!
    I guess the only solution to my question would be an app which virtually disconnects the battery but tricks the mac into thinking the battery is still connected. I'm just surprised Apple haven't yet started to build prisons for the government - considering how well they lock up their software and hardware!

  • Imac freezing and then restarting

    Hi,
    My Imac keeps freezing and then restarting, it will go to a grey screen saying there's a problem then will restart. This has happened around 3 or 4 times in the last few days, everytime it happened I was using Itunes, when it would freeze, the music would jam and then the computer would restart.
    Any idea's how to fix this?
    Is it a fan/ overheating problem?

    I still have lots of memory.
    But this message is showing when i go to applications- utilities and console...

    does anyone know what this means and how can I fix it?
    It seems to freeze more when I use the finger pad to move the mouse?
    Its becoming very annoying especially when I'm trying to watch a programme on bbc iplayer.
    Many Thanks

    Your hard disk is failing and requires replacement. Replacement is not terribly expensive and can be performed by someone sufficiently adept with computer repair. If that's not you, an Apple Store can perform the replacement.
    Back up your data ASAP.

  • Why does my macbook pro keep freezing and rainbow disk appears?, Why does my macbook pro keep freezing and rainbow disk appears?

    My macbook pro keeps freezing and I get a rainbow disk circling. I have to hold the power down and turn off, it will not do anything else.

    Can you tell us how much RAM  (Memory) you have? It's listed by clicking on the  in your title  bar....go to About This Mac and it's in the 1st window.
    We would also like to know what size hard drive you have and how much free space is on it.
    If you click on your Hard drive icon (should be upper right hand corner of your screen), or the Finder in your Dock...when the window opens it says at the bottom how much Free Space you have on your drive.
    If you go to the , click on About This Mac, click on More Info... in that window. The next window says how big your hard drive is under Hardware....click on Serial-ATA.....look under Capacity:
    We need to know this cause if a hard drive is too full it slows things down and creates operational difficulties.

    I purchased my macbook pro 2nd hand and then purchased Lion online thru the apple store and today when I tried to update some of the software I got the message that it was corrupt. Can anyone help me?

    Did the message say what was corrupt. It is not clear from your description of "...it was corrupt" what "it" is. Sounds like the download of Lion was corrupt. Download it again. Downloaded files sometimes get corrupted due to network connection glitches or interruptions.

  • My C7 freezes and then restarts Help

    My Nokia C7 stops working randomly and restarts. I used to be with Symbian^3 then with Anna and then with Belle and now with Belle refresh BUT I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE my phone restarts / first freezes and then restarts/ Any ideas to stop that

    Bula from Fiji Islands,
    My C7-00 has similar problems (although not that frequently) and I have backed up and done resets as you've stated but the problem seems rather stubborn and persistant. Is there any other option for a fix?
    You seem helpful.

  • Macbook pro retina freezing up on safari

    MacBook Pro Retina 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 recently upgraded to Yosemite. Photos and video are not displaying properly - they appear as a blank white box or a white box with smudgy black marks.  Links are not always connecting and sometimes my Mac just freezes and then shuts down. It is not a constant problem but I'd appreciate knowing if anyone else is experiencing this and has a solution. This is happening on sites such as CNN

    In what apps are videos and photos not showing?
    By links do you mean links that open a browser?
    After reboot from the next shutdown do yo see a kernel panic message? If so then log the panic and post it here
    Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic - Apple Support
    Otherwise not the time the freeze happened and after rebooting open the Console app in Finder>Applications>Utilities and look for suspicious log entries at that time and post them here
    Also
    This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

  • Why is my Macbook Pro Retina freezing almost every day since I have installed Mavericks?

    I bought my Macbook Pro Retina in March and only use it lightly for school. I don't do anything crazy on it, and I have used barely any space on it. I have never had any problems in terms of freezing, but ever since I installed Mavericks, it's been freezing almost every day. Is there any way to stop this? It's very frustrating because I will be in the middle of something and it will just stop working. The only way to stop the freezing is to hold down the power button until it shuts down. By the time I restart it, I've lost my work. I wouldn't mind reverting back to Mountain Lion, if it's possible, because I never had any problems with it. But if I can fix it without reverting to Mountain Lion, that would be preferable. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Lots of people have this problem too but no one has a reply, any suggestions??

  • Macbook pro Display freezes and darkens every few seconds

    Hey ,
    I just bought my Macbook pro 15 inch late 2013 few months ago , I'm new to Apple products ,
    My screen started freezing and darkening every 4 seconds , starting from when I power it , until I shut it down even If I don'tt run any programs
    I can't move the cursor while it's freezing or do anything , but for example If I write any text , the text will show up when it unfreezes , and If I'm listening to music the sound doesn't freeze . I tried the safe mode , and reseting the PRAM and NVRAM , running disk utility in single user mode and said that everything is fine , I checked my hardware using apple hardware test and also said that everything is fine , I removed the flash player thinking that it may be the problem but nothing changed . I don't know what I'm doing because as I said I'm new to all of this but I tried random things and nothing seems to work , I would really appreciate any help .
    PS. when I tried taking a screenshot of the screen when it freezes and darkens a little , it appeared normal in the screenshot .

    After the PRAM reset did you reboot the MBP and the projector?
    If not, connect and power up the projector, the power up MBP.
    The monitor itself could be on the way out, is there another monitor you can check it on.
    Another thing you can try is a VGA cable with the DVI adapter and see if that performs better.
    You can also try a different cable, since it worked fine in the past, I'm just trying to help you.
