MBP 17" intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz 4 Gb ram needs to be started and restarted at least 3 times from when it is shut down before properly running.

On the first couple of attempts it freezes just as it has almost fully loaded the desktop. Then needs to be restarted by holding start button and the process repeated a couple of times at least.
Any ideas Why?

How much free space on the HD? If less than15%, OSX is cramped for "play room" to perform tasks, such as buffering program data at startup. All of the processes starting up at the same time could overload "too little free space".

Mac mini intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz keeps freezing up

I have a refurbished (bought from Apple) Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz with upgraded 8GB of RAM, OS is latest Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I have had this machine less than one year, and in the past five days it has started to freeze up quite often.
After running Disk Utility and getting a message that said to repair the disk, I hve run Disk Utility from the original disk to fix the problem. No effect, I still have regular freezes and often. I have run Disk Utility again several times, and have had to repair Permissions several times, though the Repair Disk says the hard drive is okay. Only the Permissions keep getting messed up, and this happens quickly.
I have no large number of video files on the desk top.
I checked some threads and ran Activity Monitor and Control. Control when I ran "disk0" did not show any problem. I do not know how to interpret the Activity Monitor readings.
Short of wiping the computer and reinstalling everything, is there a way to determine what is wrong with the computer?
Thanks for any help!

Hello,
Only the Permissions keep getting messed up,
You can ignore repeated Permission fixes if the last line says completed in it.
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM you have for real & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...

Chances are you either did not install or correctly or added the incorrect RAM.

MBP 15" intel core 2 duo keeps crashing with distorted screen

Why does my macbook pro 15" intel core 2 duo keep on freezing or crashing with a distorted screen?
It doesn't seem to give any pattern when it randomly crashes. According to the hardware test, there's no problem.
But after doing the full hardware test everything seems ok again for a few days then crashes again with a distorted screen. Has anyone else out there experienced this as well? Help please!

Like i said in the first post, i already did the SMC reset. This is very strange because sometimes the macbook can stay up with no problems for a very long time, like 24 horas staright and nothing happens. Than i put two 720p videos that have a 30 minutes duration and nothing happen also. The fans worked like **** but it keep together. So i don't know. Does the graphic card have a so random behaviour like that? I can't find the scenario that triggers that black bars and freeze it happens from time to time.
Can somebody help me? At least to find out what triggers tha behaviour.

Does the MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 duo (2,4ghz - 4gb RAM) match with an audio dj mixer Pioneer DDJ SR

I bought a Audi DJ mixer Pioneer DDJ SR and i want to know if it matches with a Macbook pro core 2 Duo, 2,4 GHZ, 4gb RAM, 250gb DDR?
If not, then can i make it match by adding 4gb RAM or changind DDR to SSD, or others?
Thanks for your help.
(I am french and my English is not so good, so please let me know if my question is not clear)

Hi Rick,
Given that the MBP has a 4200RPM HD in it now, any 5400 or 7200 is likely to yield a significant speed increase during operations requiring HD access.
If it is a 15" MBP, make sure you get a 9.5mm high, 2.5 inch SATA HD. If it's a 17", a 12.5mm high HD will fit.
I don't believe any brand of current HDs is significantly better/worse than the others. That said, I think Seagate is at a low ebb of quality right now. I think Hitachi is at the top. WD blacks seem to be consistently reliable. Without question, others will have different opinions (it's like asking if a Toyota or Ford or Honda, etc. is best). I really like the idea of Seagate's hybrid drive, but there is a real mixed bag of reviews on it. It's first gen, and there are issues to be worked out/improved upon. Check out newegg for 200+ user reviews.
AFA 5400 vs 7200, all other things being equal (rarely the case) the faster drive is likely to give better response, but don't expect night and day difference. All other things being equal, it's also likely to run hotter, reduce run time on battery, and increase vibration. There's also a bit of a cost premium.
Whichever you end up with, remember to backup, backup, and backup (I highly recommend a clone and Time Machine).
The odds are you/she will be happier with any of the 5400s or 7200s over the current 4200, and a new drive should easily help you/her get another year or more out of the MBP. Good luck with the decision.

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.

How will Logic Pro X run with a 2006 iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.16 GHz, 4GB ram)?

I have a 2006 iMac 2.16 GHz, 4GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo. I am not planning on using plug-ins, I am a beginning artist and Logic Pro seems to have more than what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.0GHz Mid 2007 RAM upgrade

Hello
I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my 2007 Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.0GHz Mini - I've gone to the Crucial website and it's recommended via the scanner software on there, a 2GB kit (2 x 1GB sticks - http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=C8AF5484A5CA7304) however I thought that this model could handle up to 4GB (although only "see" 3GB), yet the Crucial site says that the 4GB kit from here http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT2KIT25664AC667 isn't suitable for use?
Is their site wrong on this matter or is there a specialised 4GBG kit they produce for the Mac Mini?
TIA!

Crucial sticks to official maximums given by the manufacturer. This is because they don't want to get ensnared in support issues when firmware updates are required or when you don't see the literal full amount of memory the hardware (sticks of RAM) supply.
Other World Computing is more helpful in this regard, and guarantees their memory just as well as Crucial does.

You have to weigh which is a more effective solution for you.

Apple iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch), how much ram?

How much RAm can i add into a Apple iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch), anyone know?

And I do not see any specifications for a White iMac with a 24" screen that is 2.33GHz.
But now I found it...
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
You have what normally would have been a 2.16GHz model but with the made to order 2.33GHz upgrade. Memory is...
1GB (2x512MB) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 3GB
officially. You have two slots, each supporting up to a 2GB RAM but officially Apple says 3Gigs is the max. Which is an odd number because normally I would expect to see something like 2Gig based on having 1G rams available at the time. However, since they spec 3GB that would imply that 2GB RAMs were around at the time, but they still specifically say the machine can only have 3GB (2GB + 1GB).
Many older systems can support more ram than their official specs due to larger RAMs being released after the support for testing new RAM was done. Apple specifically limiting you to a single 2GB RAM with the other having to be 1GB would seem to indicate there IS an issue with supporting a pair of 2GB rams.
So you can very safely go from 2GB to 3GB by replacing one of the 1Gig modules with a 2GB module. However I can't say for sure if it would work to go to 4GB or not.

With intel core 2 duo it's possible more RAM? in early imac 2006

I could change the processor core duo per core 2 duo of my IMAC, that is from early 2006... the cuestion is: the description of this mac says that only works with 2 gb of ram, but with the new processor it can upgrade this RAM, per 3 or 4 gb?
Thanks for your answer

You actually were able to change the processor to a Core 2 Duo in that machine? I've only heard of one other person who did this, but it did not work too well for them. Also, they did it so they could upgrade to Lion and that did not work either: the App Store recognized the machine ID as one with a Core Duo and would not allow them to install Lion. So if you changed yours to a Core 2 Duo to get Lion, your efforts were wasted.
As for allowing for more RAM - since people do not replace processors on iMacs in general, no one here will probably be able to answer your question.

Hello,
I´ve a MBP 15"/2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo/4 GB 667 Mhz Ram/ Mac OSX 10.5.6, with a 120 GB hard drive. I use external drives and I´ve lots of stuff outside, but a bigger drive would be better.
Is it possible to change for a bigger hard drive?
If so, how big? Brand suggestion?
Thank you very much.
Regards.

Hi Neuroanatomist (or any other Mac Friend), a little help ,-) please.
I just bought this 320 GB/5400 rpm Fujitsu drive for my MBP 15" 2.33.
The local TB Apple store gave me a period of 72 hours to replace the drive...I can´t wait so much time without working. So I must do the drive replacement myself. Is there a tutorial (text, pictures, video?) to help open the MBP, replace the drive and get my computer from Time machine?
Thanks very much for your help.
Regards.
Luis
ps. I´ve 6 precision screwdrivers from 1.0 mm to 3,8 mm.

Ram Problem in Macbookpro 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Hi, could anyone help me please with the following:
My my MacBookPro 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ran with 1 Gb Ram. I've upgraded at an Official Macstore in Romania, to 4 Gb Ram. After two months suddenly I have Kernel Panics (full shutdown of computer in whatever program I use, like firefox, finalcut, transfering data to a disk, all possible situations have caused the grey screen to drop) as the reports show, with a variety of reasons, mostly linked to the programs I was using at the moment - but it did it, as mentioned, with all kinds of programs.
I reinstalled the OS, same situation. I exchanged my Hard Disk, same situation. Checked ventilators, heatsinks, etc etc., nothing ch
So lastly, I exchanged Ram units from slots, same situation. Then I decided to test the individual Ram units. What gives? It works perfectly with only one slot in use with one unit of 2 Gb Ram. Doesn't matter what slot, doesn't matter what Ram I use, it works as long as I don't put both Ram units at the same time. ld
Could anyone please give me an explanation for this strange phenomenon? The thing is, I need the extra Ram for HD video editting, so I am desperate.
Also: what could cause this problem? Is it something I can exchange/repair etc?
Thank you very much,
tudor

Disk Warrior 4.2 on Mini Intel Core 2 Duo with OS 10.6 won't boot...

Disk Warrior 4.2 works on my MBP Intel Core 2 Duo, but not on my
Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo. I did the DW update to 4.2 and inserted it into my MBP... worked fine. Did the same on my Mac Mini (both have 10.6 OS) and all it would do is give me the start up chime (holding C down of course) over and over and over. When I would finally let up on the C, it would boot into 10.6, showing the DW disk on the desktop.
Any ideas? I've repaired permissions on the Mini and tried again... same result. Thanks....

The DiskWarrior folks state that the 4.2 update disc that you make will only start the same computers that the original disc that you bought from them was able to start.
If your DW update disc does meet those requirements on your Mini, then you may have to try remaking a new update disc, perhaps using a different brand of DVD/CD media.

MBP 17" intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz 4 Gb ram needs to be started and restarted at least 3 times from when it is shut down before properly running.
