My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive
Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive.
Tried to reset pram, smc, nvram.
Tried installing new RAM.
Tried installing new hard drive.
You should know that my internal drive is installed in a cheap external case and plugged in a USB 2.0 port because i am waiting for a new hard drive cable.all
Yep all good things happened to me...i don't know if all these problems are linked, ahh and also my trackpad is behaving very erraticaly sometimes, it's like it is possessed by a ghost. My computer is not under warranty anymore so i'd like to avoid a trip to the Apple store but i'm close to doing just that.
Any help appreciated...It's diagnostic software. It's supposed to help you find problems. I don't think anyone is making any software yet that fixes hardware problems.
That said, the two comments:

would lead me to think it's the logic board. On older MacBook Pro's both the USB I/O ports and the keyboard/trackpad are fed out of an integrated USB controller integrated into the South Bridge I/O controller. On newer models, the USB ports come out of an integrated North/South bridge controller and the keyboard/trackpad are handled by an SMC controller, which itself interfaces with the I/O controller. All of these items are on the logic board, and they're all unrepairable.
...unless of course the "internal drive [that] is installed in a cheap external case" is itself causing the problems. Another thing to try might be a different USB port, if you haven't done so already.
I didn't know the price for Scannerz went up. I could have sworn I only paid 30-some bucks for it. Maybe it was on sale at the time. I don't remember.
In any case, good luck. -

☞ 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.
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

17 Macbook Pro, freezing while rendering video in FCP
Hi I have a late 2008 Model MacBook Pro 17. My Macbook keeps freezing during rendering in Final Cut Pro 7. Its been doing this for 3 weeks or so. I originally thought a SSD was the way to go, but I think I may really need a new processor. Im a little confused on what I should buy and what fits my MacBook Pro. What I want is to fix the rendering freezing and shorten the rendering time. I'd appreciate any advice or ideas. Is my Macbook compatible to a Intel i7 or i5? Buying a new Macbook Pro is not an option at this point. Thank you in advance.
Here are the specs on my laptop:
MacBookPro4,1
2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB RAM
500gb HDD Momentus 7200 SATA 3Gb/s
GeForce 8600M GTHi instantclassic99,
I do have this article of key combinations on startup:
Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
I would try this with a wired Apple keyboard if possible. Specifically, I'd try:
Press Option during startup
Start up in Startup Manager, where you can select an OS X volume or network volume to start from.
Cheers!

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

HT1338 my macbook keeps freezing
my macbook keeps freezing how do i fix this problem?
Boot from your installer dvd, recovery partition, or external bootable drive and run Disk Utility to repar/verify your drives (not repair permissions).
Do a smc and pram reset.
Boot in safe mode then reboot.
See if your machine still freezes after those operations are preformed. If so run Apple Hardware Test to check your machine.
If AHT findes nothing then your software additions will need to be investigated. But worry about that later. -

Hi scottschierer,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your computer reaches the login screen but does not load the Desktop after you log in. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to help resolve the issue.

My macbook pro freezes in safari or google chrome or just shuts down all together
My MacBook Pro freezes constantly when using Safari or Google Chrome. I have to reset to continue with anything.
It happens more often when using Java to play games and sometimes just closes the browser.I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder. in the dialogue box type
/var/db/crls
In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash. It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards. I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process. It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem. Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck. -
The screen on my MacBook keeps freezing, and it is only when I hold the sides of the screen that I am able to use to momentarily. I'm out of warranty and I don't know how I can fix it. Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this issue?
I may have (had) this same problem ... until I got it fixed today. My "fix" may provide you with some insights if your case is similar to mine, i.e. screen suddenly goes dark while I'm using it (like 99% dark - you may still see some faint outline of what was on the screen before it got dark) ... and tilting the screen may (or may not) bring the screen back (to normal) ... and you know the program (or music) is still running (while the screen is black). At times, the screen would flicker slightly ... before it goes dark, but it would resume if/when I touch a key. For the past few months, I would close the screen panel down (put it to sleep) then open it up to get the bright screen again. When that stopped working, I would tilt the screen at various angles hoping to get the screen (backlight) on again.
I called Apple Support, and they wanted $49 before they start to diagnose the problem (over the phone) because my MacBook is out-of-warranty. (I bought it in June 2008). Anyways, I searched the web and figured out that the inverter board and/or cable (to the screen - on the left hinge of the screen panel) is the problem. It seems like a common problem with MacBooks. So, I brought it into an Apple store (Genius Bar) and got these parts replaced. It's a simple job ... and it did the trick.
If you're a do-it-yourself person, you can get the parts (from Apple) and replace the components yourself. For some ideas of how to disassemble your MacBook (or other Apple computer), check out: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/mac-repair.php -
Hi my MacBook is freezing whenever I try to open an application. I have tried resetting the system management controller, however no success. How can I wipe my hardrive and reinstall it again. PS: I no longer have the installation CDs, can I download it from Apple?
To get replacement installation disks, call Apple. Have the serial number of your MBP ready and a credit card. There is a fee.

Macbook Air freezes when changing screensaver
I am having issues when I try to change my screensaver. Whenever I click on a different screensaver option, my Macbook Air freezes, and I have to force close System Preferences. I have no problems with changing my desktop wallpaper. I have restarted my laptop but it still freezes.
I saw another board with a similiar problem except instead of the screensaver window freezing, their desktop window would freeze.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them to the Trash.
Test. If the problem is resolved. recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.
