Mcbook Pro crashes Acer

I currently have a macbook pro I bought way back in 2008 before they changed the model and have updated Snow Leopard to the latest whatevers.
Anyway my partner has an acer Aspire 5553G and oddly enough whenever I connect to the internet on my mac, wired, wireless whatever. If we are both connecting to the same network the acer crashes and resets.
At home I have a BThome hub, have upgraded it to the version 2.0 black hub, but still the problem persists.
Wireless interface type is 802.11 b/g/n with automatic channel selection.
I have tried assigning each computer it's own ip address but this also fails to work.
Any hints?
Thanks

Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart... please help.

Hi everyone
Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart...
I've since backed everything up on an external hard drive, removed the corrupt library, even reinstalled the operating software and there is now hardly anything on the hard drive, it still runs painfully slow. If I close the lid which puts it in sleep mode, it either doesn't go into sleep mode but instead the battery just gets drained and I find it completely empty of power (it won't start again unless plugged in), or it goes into sleep mode but just freezes when I try to reopen.
In iphoto (reinstalled) but even other applications it is painfully slow, not like a mac at all!
I am trying to go to genius bar with it but thinking maybe someone in this forum can help...
Many thanks
Andre

Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

Mid 2010 mac book pro crashing too many times!!!

HELP! I'm basically fed up with my mac book pro crashing so many times in a day. I'm not doing anything tedious, just basic web surfing and music and some microsoft word/excel. I've read that someone recommended to run EtreCheck and paste the result here so anyone that knows how to read them can help me figure out what's happening!
Problem description:
My Mac book pro have been crashing lately. I’ve max out my RAM to 8gb. And the frequency seems to increased to few times in a day. I’ve uninstalled a software that I suspect to be causing the problem but it didn’t help.

Mac Pro crashing on shutdown (and some other things)

The following behavior began about 4 or 5 days ago...
Mac Pro crashes/freezes every time I shutdown (or Restart). Some process seems to be not quitting on shutdown - the screen goes blue and I get the spinning beachball. It'll just hang like that indefinitely. To get it to shut down, I have to hold the power button for several seconds. After starting up again, the machine *mostly* runs fine, but there are some apps/services that either just don't do anything, or causes the Mac to hang, or get into a funk state. These other things that seem to destabilize it include:
Apple menu > About this Mac: nothing happens (no dialog)
iTunes: dock icon just bounces, iTunes never launches
System Prefs > Accounts > Login items: System Prefs hangs. Force quit allows Prefs to open again.
Some apps/services also cause things to hang:
Activity Monitor: quitting some processes causes Actvity Monitor to freeze
Clicking SOHO Notes (tab alonmg the edge of the monitor) results in spinning beachball
Rolling over Linotype FontExplorer in the Dock causes the Dock to freeze, FontExporer never opens
There are probably other things that would make it hang, I have not gone looking for them all
System details:
Mac Pro 4,1 .66 ghz, 8 GB RAM
Mac OSX 10.6.8
Dual monitors, two internal hard drives (internal; drive A, internal drive B), multiple external FW hard drives attached
I have already done the following:
Disk Utility: Verified and Repaired Disk Permissions
Disk Utility: Verified Disk, Repaired Disk - this found errors, and suggested reformat/reinstall
I have already booted off internal drive B and ran Disk Utility, then restarted and booted off internal drive A again. No difference.
I have Time Machine backups on an external 1 TB FW drive.
Late last night, I restarted, inserted my original Snow Leopard DVD, launched the MacOSX installer. Recovered a prior system by choosing Utilities > Restore System From Backup, selected a Time Machine backup a few days old (a day or two prior to the problem begining) on the external 1 TB FW drive, and initiated the restore. The estimated restore time was about 5 hours, so I went to bed and let it run. Got up early, and checked: it said the Restore operation was successful. I was relieved. But the same conditions continued - launching or rolling over the items listed above cause the same freeze/crash/hangs. Hangs on shutdown, only way to kill things is the power button. So now I'm disappointed.
I do have multiple backups of my data files across the external hard drives, but this is a large machine with a lot of stuff on it, and I'd really like to recover things wholesale, rather than having to reconstruct accounts and other things. Before I go to bed tonight, I'm going to take another shot at recovering the system from a Time Machine backup - this time, I'll pick a backup that's from a full week before the problems started (the idea being that maybe the backup I picked last time was not far enough back from whatever incident caused all this).
If the week-old Time Machine backup works, great. But if not...any suggestions?
Additional data points...
Nothing new was installed or updated (as far as I know, and I generally pay attention) in the days prior to the problem.
The last thing I recall doing on the computer before the problem began, was burning a DVD (using Toast) - something I do all the time. After that operation, I tried to shut down, and it froze.
The primary internal hard drive partition (internal drive A) seems to be the only one that's having trouble: if I reboot off of internal drive B, the problems do NOT occur - no hang on quit, etc.
That suggests it's not a hardware problem (logic board, etc.) but is something about the System on drive A.
It *could* be bad sectors on drive A - but I have some questions about that...
When I did the full system recovery via the MacOS installer (pulling the old system from Time machine), does the destination drive get reformatted? I don't recall being asked the usual partition/formatting questions.
When the installer does a system restore, does it do any integrity checking on the target drive, or does it just blindly lay down bits?
Does this "freeze on shutdown" (and related behaviors) sound familiar?
Any tips/suggestions to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

More info and a question...
Did another full restore (from a Time machine backup on an external drive) last night - picked a backup from from 10 days ago, long before things became problematic. Still having the same issues.
So, I'm thinking the next thing to try is a low-level reformat of the internal drive(s) and then restore again. I have a couple questions about the finer points of that...
I'm following the instructions in this KB document: Mac OS X 10.6: Recovering your entire system.
Inserting my original Snow Leopard DVD, launching the MacOS installer, restarting, in the installer choosing Restore System from Backup. It appears that there is no re-formatting of the target drive in this case - it just over-writes.
My questions...
The contents of the target drive are going to get wiped and overwritten anyway. Do I have anything to lose/to risk by reformatting FIRST (using Disk Utility), then booting off the install DVD and restoring then?
My 1 TB internal drive is partitioned into the primary 750 GB partition (which is the problematic one) and a secondary 250 GB partition (which boots and runs fine). The secondary partition has some data I would prefer not to lose. I assume that if want to do a full reformat of the internal drive, that means the whole drive - both partitions - will be wiped (that is, I cant reformat just one partition on a single physical drive without reformatting the second partition). Correct?
I suppose I can back up the data that resides on the second partition to an additional external drive (I have extras) if needed - not a huge deal.
Do my new partition sizes need to exactly match the sizes of the original partitions? Neither is completely full, but I want to make sure that I will be able to restore the system and contents of the primary partition even if the new partition size is not bit-by-bit the exact same size as the old partition (I assume the new partition size just needs to be large enough to hold the backup - correct?).
So....I'm looking at the following sequence:
Back up the data I want off the secondary partition to an external drive
Boot off the Snow Leopard install DVD
Run Disk Utility and reformat (fully erase) the internall 1 TB drive
Partition that 1 TB internal drive to (more or less) the two previous (about) 750 GB + 250 GB partitions
Restore a recent Time Machine backup (from an external FW drive) to partition #1
Reasonable plan? Anything I'm missing here? Any other steps I should take?
Thanks for any help.

MacBook Pro Crash on Start Up Relating to Airport???

Guys,
Really need some help
My Mac book pro crashes and Im out of ideas of what to do before a reinstall, this is the story....
I had left my mac book pro on, closed, so probalby on standby, I came back to it after many hours and it had crashed (it was up to date with all the updates). I tried to restart, it would auto-login and get to the start where it was loading an application, it would bounce once then hang.
I tried to boot in safe mode, and it would boot but had a very very dark screen for no reason, and I could not change the brightness - after playing around, resetting PVRAM .etc that problem seemed to go, so I followed the advice of the apple website.
I removed the program I thought was crashing it (not adobe version cue btw, i removed that ages ago). I have no items in my start up folder in library. Apple's guide says to remove start up items from the system start up was well, but as far as I can see they all look like apple system startup processes, so I leave them.
I removed all startup items from login, i have moved my font folder away. I repaired my keychain, I verified the disk, repaired some permissions, ran fsck, everything....
I then starded in single user mode, and told it to continue to boot in single user mode, got a very interesting problem.
It would say the line to initiate the airport with its mac address, then it would say, error connecting to X wireless, no password found, then give a line
Airport_Atrh: - ethernet address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
49) SystemStarter: tfp: failed 0
So i thought, perhaps some file is corrupt relating to the password connecting to the wireless, which starts automatically on airport and connection to the wireless.
I noticed on the crash too, like other users report, the time, the airport symbol, none of them are in the corner of the screen - this would suggest a problem with airport crashing before it loads all the things in the corner, i think.
So, I followed apples guide to reset your network settings:
# Selecting the "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications" option in Network preferences can sometimes cause this issue. You'll need to delete the preference file that holds this setting. This is an advanced step that will reset all of your computer's network settings. You will need to reconfigure them in Network preferences to reconnect to the Internet or a network.
1. Start up the computer in Single-User Mode.
2. Type: mount -uw /
3. Press Return.
4. Type one of the following:
(for Mac OS X 10.2.8 or earlier)
mv /var/db/SystemConfiguration/preferences.xml preferences.old
(for Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.3.9)
mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist preferences.old
Tip: There is a space between ".plist" and "preferences.old".
5. Press Return.
6. Type: reboot
7. Press Return.
# If your computer still starts up to a blue screen, follow these steps.
1. Start up the computer in Single-User Mode.
2. Type: mount -uw /
3. Press Return.
4. Type:
mv /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist preferences2.old
Tip: There is a space between ".plist" and "preferences".
5. Press Return.
6. Type:
mv /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist preferences3.old
7. Press Return.
8. Type: reboot
9. Press Return.
And this still didn't fix it.. All this did was make it crash earlier. It now doesnt try to connect to X wireless because the settings have been reset, but still crashes with the same line as above, airport_athr, then system starter failed on 0.
It would make sense that I can get into safe mode since airport is disabled in safe mode, and it makes sense that if the airport is the problem, then before it was crashing before loading the other top bar icons / symbols like bluetooth, the time .etc
Please - can anyone help? is this a hardware fault or is there something I can do to repair airport??
Regards
Jonathan

Thanks for your help, however I think this is a bit drastic
I reinstalled OSX, and now it boots - no idea if the problem will come back, but it looks like it was a software error at least, as airport now works and i can get on the internet - what do you think?

my hard drive crashed on my MacBook Pro crashed and I need to get my CS5 up and running on the new hard drive. I copied what I could onto an external hard drive but when I drag and drop I get directions to uninstall but the uninstall folder I have does says it is an alias that is no longer present. I get error 6. I would like to get my software up and running on the laptop again please

If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

Acrobat XI Pro crashes when saving as a reduced size PDF in version 11.0.07

Since upgrading to the v 11.0.7 update, Acrobat XI Pro crashes every time I try to "save as" a reduced size PDF. I have tried several different settings, but still crashes.

You might try to setup the page size in the Adobe PDF printer and then print to the printer. I assume you are using PDF Maker (create PDF) and that may be the problem. You might also open the preferences in PDF Maker and turn off most of the options - none should be needed for a single page since you would likely not be using transitions, bookmarks, etc.
Just as a test, you may want to just start with printing ot the Adobe PDF printer, but you will likely get the default paper size with the PPT shrunk to fit.

My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. Help?

My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. I have tried several times to get it past this point but tnothing helped.
I have an appointment at the Apple store today, but was wondering : will all of the information and files on my desktop be lost? Or is this a logic board problem?
Any help is much MUCH appricated.

I'm not sure, if you're out of warrenty it'll cost quite a bit for the replacement of the logic board replacement...unless you have apple care. you could ask apple to try and recover your hard drive but i'm not sure.

My Acrobat 9 pro crashed on my PC using XP. I deleted it and tried to reinstall. It asked for my license for 9, 7 and 6. I put in the 9 & 7 license which I have. How do I get the version 6 license. Is there a live person at Adobe & how do I reach them??

You have the upgrade serial number for Acrobat 9that is why it is asking the previous qualifying serial number, I am sending you the serial number of Acrobat 6 & 7 by private messaging, you can your self find them by using Find your serial number quickly

Adobe Acrobat Pro crash

I have an iMac OSX (version 10.9.2). Adobe Acrobat Pro crashes every time I try to use the "find" function. Anyone else have this issue?

I was having this issue too. After a bit of a search I found an official response from Adobe with a patch you can install until the next update.

I've just installed the patch and done a quick test, everything seems to be working fine now...
