MBP crashing every 5 mins Please help!!

Hello,
I finally decided to make the 'Switch' just to find myself with alot of trouble. Right after getting my brand new MBP 2Ghz out of the box two days ago, it started crashing.
Problem seems to be happening when I download updates, or try to see heavy webpages.
I used my old computer to download the latest firmware and OS X update and installed it into my MBP using a USB memory thing, but that does not solve the problem.
I also ran the disc utility to make sure that my new computer didnt have problems and nothin, still crashing.
Please help!
Thanks

Sorry you are having problems. Here are some suggestions:
[1] To make certain you are not having hardware problems, insert Installation Disc 1 and restart while holding down the D key. Choose the extended test option. If you get an error message, call AppleCare.
If no errors reported,
[2] I would recommend you do a disk wipe and a clean install of the operating system. To do that, restart from Install Disc 1 while holding down the C key. After bootup, choose Disk Utility from the menu. Select your MBP startup disk and choose Erase (some recommend Secure Erase, which may catch any bad blocks on your drive). Secure Erase takes more time.
Then do a new install of the operating system and the included applications and demos.
Play with the computer a while. It should not be crashing. I've had mine since March 30 with nary a panic, crash or freeze.
Don't add any files from your old computer yet, or download any apps from the Net. Now hook up to the Net and select Software update. Install everything. Note: Some people have had crashes related to the setup or hardware of their wireless routers. If that happens, try an Ethernet connection to your modem and do the updates. Read this forum and search re router problems.
Play with the computer some more, web browsing, etc.
If you had used Migration Assistant to bring over files from a previous Mac, that may have been the source of problems. Think about fresh installations of just those applications that you need and that you know to be compatible with your Intel Mac. Then bring over just the data for those files.
Good luck. It's possible, though not likely, that there had been a problem with the original installation of your operating system. If so, that problem should have been corrected.

  • FCPro crashes every 15 min.

    My FCPro crashes every 15 min - why? Is this a liscence issue? Any help appreciated. Running version 6.0.3.

    Ah, this is the moment when you open up Google (or even the FCP forum search) and type in "Trash FCP preferences" and take some control over your problem. You'll feel much better and more in control of your situation and might learn useful information for the next time this happens!

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help!

    My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help! What could it be?

    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference nearby that is preventing your AEBSn from providing a clean RF signal on the 2.4 GHz band.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

  • Premiere Pro cs6.02 mac 10.7.5 crashing every 2 min.

    Hi group had a horrible summer where Premiere pro 6.0-6.01 crashed all the time meaning every 1-2 min. on both of my machines which are a 2012 macbook pro and imac, both have max ram and SSD drives. As most of you experienced after 10.7.5 and 6.02 came out things have gone pretty smoothly but yesterday, the crashing came back. I tried two reinstalls of Premiere Pro 6.0 and 6.02 upgrade along with my Boris and Magic Bullet suites but I am now experiencing crashes about every 1-3 min. trying to  to reduce audio noise and minor scrubbing. My project is only 5 min. long I have magic bullet looks on the video and simple noise reduction on the audio tracks, not understanding what is happening.
    To back up, I had to do the reinstalls because PP refused to startup crashed on every restart including after restarting the computer and running disk utility from another computer. This is maddening and so disappointing, the whole CS6 upgrade nightmare has really made me lose a little faith in Adobe. In my mind if Adobe didn't spend so much time trying to rent their software via cloud and made cs6 work they would have converted so many former FCP users like myself.
    Anyway, wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to do, I've tried dumping the prefs. cleaning cache, logs etc. I have over 300gb of space on a 2nd SSD drive via esata via thunderbolt as my scratch disk. In the past I did entire reinstalls from scratch on the OS but I'm sick of wasting 3-5 hours doing that. I'm seriously thinking about going to AVID if this crashing can't be resolved.......
    So please dear reader help a poor soul like myself fix this issue....

    Hi I have not upgraded to 10.8 because I have a matrox mini max and they didn't have an upgrade that would work so I didn't do it.
    I do have the full magic bullet suite and Boris installed, my problem is I had been editing this project for a month without any issues, then last Thurs. night boom crash then every 10 min. then by the next day it was every min. I hadn't upgraded anything in over a month, and the whole system was stable for the last 2 months after 10.7.5 and 6.02 not perfect but not every min.
    I guess I can remove the plugins but I am using some of both on this and yes I did use the audio denoiser maybe that's it? The boom operator had very little exp. and the audio system was from the dp who is in my class but recorded everything really low... top notch gear but low and I have about 9 layers of audio to get the levels up, which is why I had to use the audio denoiser.
    So I am not sure if i should upgrade to 10.8 or remove the audio denoiser...or loose all my magic bullet and boris effects...I can't win.... You guys are cool to answer though...
    BTW what is ML? oooh duh Mountain lion...

  • Genius keeps crashing itunes !! Please help ... ;0

    I download itunes 8.0 and EVERY time I try and use genius, itunes crashes between steps 1 and 2 (gathering information, sending it to apple). It either gives me an unknown error or, crashes the program (which is what happens 90% of the time). I un-installed itunes, restarted the computer, re-installed it- same problem.
    Please help! I have a very large library, wondering if that has anything to do with it?

    I'm having the same problem, but I do not have a very large library, less than 1,000 songs. I believe mine may have to deal with the fact that "piggyback" onto an airport connection, or at least this seams to be the case with my iChat not working...

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 Crashing very often! Please Help!

    Hello,
    I am currently editing my first feature on Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and it is currently up to date.
    I am editing on a iMac 27in, late 2013 brand new computer.
    Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096MB
    System: OSX Yosemite V 10.10.1
    The project is located on a 8TB G Drive
    7200 RPM
    High Performance ThunderBolt drive.
    Details of the project:
    I am currently working on a fine cut of 5K Red Footage that is being cut in the RAW.
    I work at 1/2 quality settings and have no lag.
    The timeline includes limited stacked video files and various mp3 audio files.
    The Problem:
    Lately, the program will randomly quit or freeze up 4-5 times during an 5-6 hour edit session.
    Many times it is random, however, it seems to happen often if I accidentally click on the end of a clip on the timeline and it goes to switch into trimming mode. 
    Also, it will randomly go into the "pinwheel of death" out of nowhere followed by "Adobe CC is not responding."
    My project file is just about 15MB now.
    What is causing this reoccurring problem?
    How can I make it happen less?  I have scoured the forums and found similar articles but no helpful solutions.
    I have recently turned auto save on to save every 2 minutes because there have been more than one occasion where I lost A LOT of work because of this issue.
    I am about two weeks out from picture lock delivery and this issue is driving me crazy and loosing me a ton of time.
    Please help or let me know if any more additional information can help solve the issue.
    I have sent in well over 25 error reports already.
    Thanks,
    Thomas.

    I think I may have found the solution...
    I completely removed the Premiere Pro folder under User > Documents > Adobe and so far it seems to have solved the problem.
    I of course backed up my projects and than deleted this folder. So far it seems it worked.
    I'll know for sure in a day or two, but after constantly crashing, Premiere hasn't crashed for the last 4-5 hours of work.

  • Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-

    The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
    So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
    ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,
    THANKS GUYS

    THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!! BEEN AROUND 5 DAYS & NOT ONE PERON HAS HELPED...
    BUT YEAH THANKS AGAIN...
    WASTE OF TIME THIS IS...
