Mountain Lion freezes (SBBOD) exactly one hour after boot

Like many others, I experience the SBBOD on my MBP early 2011 with (GB of RAM and plenty of HD space. I upgraded in Sep/Oct, and everything has been running smoothly up until two weeks ago when I first experienced a crash. Now my MBP freezes EXACTLY one hour after boot or reboot.
I have tried resetting NVRAM/PRAM, ran the HW Test (no errors), repaired permissions, reinstalled OS, cleaned out outdated SW, plugins and prefs, reset the SMC, cleared caches, deleted the Finder prefs, Time Machine prefs and God only knows what else I've tried of tips & tricks I've found after googling this for a week. I'm running Console constantly, but this doesn't make me much wiser. Sometimes it doesn't record the last minutes before a crash, but the only messages that seem to show up fairly consistently lately are these:
07.02.13 13:39:29,541 apsd[72]: Unable to bootstrap_lookup connection port for 'com.apple.ubd.system-push': Unknown service name
07.02.13 13:39:46,169 com.apple.quicklook.satellite[200]: bootstrap_look_up2 failed with 0x44c
I also saw this a little earlier today:
07.02.13 09:38:56,000 kernel[0]: Got boot device = IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/SATA@1F,2/AppleIntelPchS eriesAHCI/PRT0@0/IOAHCIDevice@0/AppleAHCIDiskDriver/IOAHCIBlockStorageDevice/IOB lockStorageDriver/M4-CT512M4SSD2 Media/IOGUIDPartitionScheme/uten navn@2
which puzzles me a bit, because I have no volume called "uten navn" (translates to "no name") hooked up to my MBP.
I'm running Adobe CS5, updated web browsers, Office 2011, Apple Mail/Contacts/Calendar/Messages - but the SBBOD happens in any SW, and also if no SW is opened at all (except Finder). It even happens if I start my Mac in safe mode.
this is seriously frustrating - so if anyone has any idea what's going on, it would be much appreciated.

UPDATE:
Forget it, I found the solution in a dodgy corner of the discussions: a firmware upgrade as described at the bottom of this thread.

2011 MBP (10.8.4) freezes exactly one hour after reboot

Hello,
I'm having an issue identical to this poster insofar as I can tell, but some test results are different for me. Exactly one hour after rebooting or starting the computer, applications become unresponsive, video stops playing, then a little while later sound stops playing, and the cursor becomes a beachball if interacting with an application. Some windows can still be dragged or brought to the front of the screen for a short time. Eventually everything (except sometimes the cursor) is frozen and the machine never recovers from this state (for at least 15 minutes, I haven't let it go longer).
Most of the time this is accompanied by a CPU use spike and the fans spinning up, but not always. I have trawled through the system logs and disabled lots of LaunchAgents to no avail, so let me just list a few things I've tried and their result.
Disabling wifi: no change
Removing RAM one slot at a time: no difference
Memtest: clean results, froze after 1 hour anyway
Apple Hardware test: clean result on extended test, progress *sometimes* halts at the end of the third or fourth pass after the "Main Logic Board" test had finished (during message "Testing in progress... Extended testing in progress").
System console/system.log shows no distinctive output immediately before freeze, unless I'm doing other things like playing audio or using the internet in which case the wifi interface has activity or CoreAudio turns outputs on, but this is different every time it crashes. I did find that GoogleSoftwareUpdate was implicated in one of the console logs, so I disabled and uninstalled that without effect. I recently started using Time Machine on an external drive, so I disabled that and removed the drive I'd selected from Time Machine preferences - no improvement.
While watching Activity Monitor during one freeze, I saw that cprefsd (root) had spiked to 260% CPU usage, fseventsd (root) to 128%, and several other processes to 100% (UserEventAgent, cprefsd, iTunes Helper, and apsd (root)). Everything else was at 1%.
Symptomatically, this appears to be a software issue (not an instant crash, elevated CPU usage, regular timed interval), but I've been unable to isolate the cause. I strongly suspect Time Machine is responsible (fseventsd is linked to it) but having disabled it in System Preferences I'm not sure if it should be eliminated. Alternately I believe this may be symptomatic of logic board, memory controller, or graphics card failure, but am at a loss to explain the regular (non-random, non-usage-dependent) occurrence. I performed the syslog test prescribed by Linc Davis in this thread and found only regular shutdown codes, so that also seems to point to software issues.

This morning I tried leaving the computer on in Safe Boot mode and the freeze occurred on schedule, with the windows becoming unresponsive at 60 minutes in, and the the beachball appearing as soon as I moved the cursor.
If I can get a full backup sorted (only essential stuff is cloned right now), I'll try a clean install of OS X from the recovery partition to see if it nixes whatever process is at fault. I have an appointment with the Genius Bar tomorrow evening, but if this is really a software problem then I'm not sure how they can help (except to replace it at cost). Are there any other tests or fixes I can try? What's the likely prognosis?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Apple replaced the logic board and the fix and it didn't fix the problem. To their credit, they refunded the repair fee. I ended up tracing the issue to a third-party drive I'd bought from NewEgg, a Crucial M4 SSD, which had a very peculiar firmware bug:
Correct a condition where an incorrect response to a SMART counter will cause the m4 drive to become unresponsive after 5184 hours of Power-on time. The drive will recover after a power cycle, however, this failure will repeat once per hour after reaching this point.
I would have probably gotten the update notice had I purchased direct from Crucial (or had it come pre-installed if I'd bought it a month later). If you have a similar issue, check your drive firmware!

Mountain Lion Freezes 30 Seconds Every Hour

I've recently migrated from a Mac Pro running Lion to a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I migrated using a Time Machine backup and to make a long story short, it was an ordeal, but I've got everything running smoothly now… Everything except for one thing.
Once an hour, everything but the mouse freezes. The clock stops. If time machine is backing up, the backup icon stops moving. Everything stops for about 30 seconds and returns to normal. It happens very consistently on the same minute and the same second every time until a reboot and the one hour clock starts ticking anew from my boot up time.
I thought that maybe Time Machine was the culprit here, but I turned that off and freezes continued happening. Also, there is nothing in my log files that show anything happening at the time of each freeze. This is driving me nuts.
Any help would be appreciated.

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this sort of stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most users don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Mac notebooks that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
Use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” “running periodic scripts,” “deleting log files,” “scanning for viruses,” or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are for solving problems as they arise, not for maintenance.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Mountain lion on Mac Pro...after boot camp can't get back into OS x!!!!

Hey all,
Not sure what is going on?!?!? I sucessfully set up windows on bay 3 of my mac pro following the Apple documentaion....success! However, when I go and try to boot back into OS X, I can't. All I get is the chime, then a white screen and pause. If I let go of any of the key combos (see below), it boots right back into windows.
List of things I can't do on boot are :
- hold shift and go into safe mode
- hold Command + R and go into recovery mode
- hold alt and look for boot drived
The only thing that I have succesfully done is gone into target disk mode and checked the drives on my macbook pro. They seem fine in disk utility.
Please help! I don't want to be doomed to life with only windows 7 on my mac pro.
Much thanks
D

As an ammendment, on my macbook pro, I have succesfully mounted my MAC PRO boot drive (mac pro is in target disk mode). Everything looks fine. So summary is...
-Can't use any of the options to force a log in to my mac pro.
-I can mount my mac pro boot drive to my macbook pro and boot it there
-allways defaults to windows.
Any knowledge (even obvious) is much appreciated.

My mail app in Mountain Lion freezes

My mail app in Mountain Lion freezes a few second to a few minutes after launching. I have already re-installed the OS but it didn't help. Any thoughts?
I have one exchange account that I have removed and reinstalled. I've tried to see if it's conflicting with any of my other apps, I can't find anything there either. Never had this problem before, but would like use of this app. Thanks.
Mark

More info. It seems to freeze when switching between mail and other apps. It then becomes impossible to switch back to the mail app, though mail will be indicated in the app name just to the right of the apple menu

Hi, I have recently updated my iMac from OS x mountain lion to OS X Mavericks. After that I can't upload any video and some files to my personal email account. Can anyone please help me to sort this problem.

Hi,
I have recently updated my iMac from OS x mountain lion to OS X Mavericks.

I have tried to send a small video clip to the sender as attachment. i have done this before
with the same video same and same email account. This problem found just after installed the
OS X Movericks. Can anyone please help me to sort this problem.
Thanks.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

MBP 8,1 (10.9.5) freezes approx. 20 minutes after booting.

If I remove one of the two RAM-modules and the MBP runs with only 2GB of RAM, it seems to work, although all processes are much slower. TC backup is not working and when trying to download Mavericks again, the computer freezes again. The freeze-problem does not occur under 10.6, here the MBP works fine. Any suggestions? Am I facing a RAM-module or HDD-problem here? Or something completely different?

Just to clarify the problem: the system only freezes when both 2GB-RAM-modules are installed. If I run the MBP on only 2GBs (no matter, which one), the system does not freeze.
Here is the report from etrecheck:

Macbook Pro Retina Mountain lion freezes after deep sleep

Hello All,
I am having a strange problem with my MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.3). Since about January time It keeps crashing after I put it into a deep sleep. After closing the lid - waiting for 1 hour or so - then reopening the lid, i get presented with the normal Apple login screen (breifly) and then it crashes and i get a grey screen saying my mac has had an issue and it needs to restart.
When i log back on i get an error message that I can send onto Apple and then my Mac carries on as normal. Very weird.
I have searched these forums, been into the Apple store, spoken to Apple done hardware diagnostics, reinstalled the OS (worked breifly then stopped working again) - so i assume its one of the programs or bits of hardware that i use (which i have tried to isolate/remove)- but i am still strugling to solve these issues.
It would be great if someone could give me some advice around:
1. Where I can find these log files/error messages, etc.
2. Understanding what it is causing this issue.
Thanks in advance.

The solution is to dump the 100€ mini-display port DVI-D adapter that apple sells and buy a mini-Display to Display-Port cable for 6€. No crashes, no annoying interruption of the display (which I had several times the day for 2 or 3 seconds). There are very short interruptions now, but it is much better than with the apple adapter. The apple adapter needs a USB port, which is not necessary with the simple cable.
As for the monitor: Burn In, otherwise great. The burn in can be erased via monitor menu but should not be there in the first place.
Hope this helps.

Mountain Lion freezes for few seconds when closing tabs

Hi all,
When closing tabs on Google Chrome, usually after "heavy" navigation (HD flash video or several pdfs opened for examples), Moutain Lion sometimes freezes for less than 10 seconds and then back to normal. The trackpad is still responsive but I can't do anything appart moving the pointer. It appears around two times in one hour. In never appends with other applications like Photoshop or games.
This may be already a known issue on ML, but all the reports I read were pretty old and not exactly similar. Here some details :
Recent Mid 2012 Retina MBP (only 15 battery cycles)
Os X 10.8.2 ; 2.6Ghz ; 16GB
I *nerver* connected it to any external displays.
Console logs :

Those log messages indicate a fault in the graphics processor. Take the machine in for warranty service. Make sure you can reproduce the problem.

Mountain Lion freezes when opening Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

Hi, I have a mid-2012 750GB MacBook Pro 15" (NOT the retina display) with Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
As of a few weeks ago (mid July 2013), whenever I opened Chrome, the laptop would freeze a few minutes later. The arrow changed to the beach ball and could move, but I couldn't click anything and Force Quit would not open. I had to manually power down the laptop each time. I tried Safari and Firefox and got the same results.
HOWEVER, I downloaded a basic web browser called Lightning which hasn't caused any freezes at all.
But as it's a pretty crappy program, I'd like to have this problem fixed before I go back to college this fall.
Any ideas? Any other details/info I should post? All help is appreciated Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Mountain Lion Freezes From Sleep Mode

It seems like Mountain Lion is going into this "kernel" panic mode after I try to bring my computer back from sleep mode. That thing everyone a lot of people talking about where it locks up and you can't force quit anything or do anything except watch the spinning beach ball and move between open applications.

For what its worth I have tried removing all peripherals and see if it does it and it still does it.   This behavior doesn't happen to me at all while using the machine normally, only when I am coming back from sleep mode.   When I upgraded it didn't list any incompatible software.    Also I am noting that after a few trys I can relaunch finder but the spinning beach ball remains.   I was thinking that it was something like Windows Explorer crashing but it seems lower level problem then that.   There is something hanging and it doesn't seem like an application.   Seems like something in the OS, well, obviously because this wasn't happening before I upgraded.   I am just going to shut my machine down after I am doing using it for now so I am not hard resetting it four times per day. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Okay, it has been over 30 hours since my iMac has done this.    It doesn't have that problem where it sits and spins any more.   My workaround is to go into System Preferences, Energy Saver, and slide the Computer Sleep all the way to NEVER.   I still put my display to sleep same time though. And I also uncheck Put Hard Disks to Sleep When Possible.    That seems to have done the trick for me.    I have done nothing else to remedy this and my rig would freeze up on my three times per day so there you have it.    Hopefully they will fix whatever issue is plaguing the sleeping computers.   I know there are alot of them out there set that why by default.

Mountain Lion freezes (SBBOD) exactly one hour after boot
