Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

2011s MacBook Pro won't install Yosemite neither reboot or boot into recovery mode.

Hello everyone, I've searched all around the web and didn't find a solution.
Sorry about my english, btw, I'm from Brasil lol!
I have a 2011s MacBook Pro, used to run Snow Leopard until 2 days ago, when I downloaded Yosemite and restarted the computer to run the installation.
During the process, it stopped at 22%, and said: FILE SYSTEM VERIFY OR REPAIR FAILED.
I tried to reboot on Macintosh HD as usual, but it's not possible, I can't unmount the HD to repair it, can't erase it and I'm a little desperate.
I have a good backup of important files on an external drive, so the best solution for me would be to format the HD again, with the Yosemite image which appears to be running at startup.
Command+ anything at startup doesn't work, probably because the Yosemite install is trying to run...
Any suggestions???
Thank you!

Hey Vince,
I have the same or similar issue. Please forgive my English, as I attended American Public schools
So last night, my MacBook Pro told me hey you want to download this free and amazing new OS called Yosemite?
(I'm adding to your post to hopefully grab more attention and then maybe grab a solution from someone out there..)
I thought yea, no, maybe, okay it's free, they say it is amazing-- why not?!?
So I downloaded and clicked okay to restart and install the new OS.......but it won't install the OS and I get stuck here on this screen.
I have tried restarting about 10 ties. I have tried quitting the install but it won't allow me to boot from Mac HD or my time capsule HD. I tried going into the menu options above but it won't let me repair or reboot or anything to get my MacBook to work again.
It is pretty frustrating. I went from having a working MacBook Pro to having a nightlight.
Vince- if you get a solution or a fix, Please let me know.
Thanks

I have a new l7 macbook pro running snow leopard. When I try to boot into windows7 32bit, I get either a blue, black, or flickering screen. Then I have to physically shut down and try again. At that point it will load correctly. Any help?

I have a new l7 Macbook Pro running snow leopard. When I tried to to install windows 7 32 bit on bootcamp, I kept getting a flicking black and blue screen when it tried to install. (Tried several times). I finally downloaded the bootcamp windows support to a flash. I inserted that and finally got it installed. Now when I try to boot into windows I get either a solid black (sometimes blue) or flickering screen and windows will not start up. If I then physically shut down the mac and restart, it will finally boot into windows where it tells me that windows was shut down unexpectently and once I click start windows normally, it will boot up. That will generally let me boot into windows for the remaining of the day. The next day, the same thing happens again. I have tried reinstalling several times, and the same thing keeps happening. It is not my windows disk because it installs flawlessly on the mid 2008 macbook pro. Anyone know how to fix this?

I own HDM 2011. But they have products that aren't listed or hard to find too.

Macbook pro won't install updates

Little bit about my mac: Mac OS X. Version 10.6.8 I have 47GB available.
I have tried updating my software, and it will only update the certain things that does not require the macbook to restart. If I try to update the software it will show the download gray screen, then shuts off and restarts immediately without installing software. I have tried keeping it on the charger, unplugging it. Restarting it then updating. Trying to update one at a time. Nothing seems to work.
These are the updates & versions;
Safari 5.1.10
Security Update 2013-004 1.0
MacBook Pro SMC Firmwire Update 1.6
Apple Software Installer Update 1.0
Thank you for your time!

J_Lynn24,
This might not be the answer to your problems, but you should be able to update manually with the following updates (I'm unsure about the Security Update - you'll just have to try it and see if it will work):
Safari 5.1.10 -> http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
Security Update 2013-004 1.0 -> http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1677
MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.6 -> http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1626
Apple Software Installer Update 1.0 -> http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1512
Maybe the Apple Software Installer Update will put things right and you'll be able to get automatic updates again...

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
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 page that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

That is normal. The familiar spinning gear icon is replaced with a progress bar now.

IPhone 5s won't install updates, when I try, it just opens the app

I have an iPhone 5s. Whenever I press the update button, the app doesn't update. The update button is working more as a button that opens the specific app I'm trying to update. I am very frustrated. I had an iPhone 5s with a previous phone company and didn't experience this issue.

Labview wont install anything when I try to install it.

So I had labview before but i had to get rid of it to make space on my computer and i accidently deleted some files in the NI folder before i unistalled it, it didnt unstall it correctly when i went to unistall the program. I have tried everything to get rid of all the NI files on my computer including using CCleaner to try and clean out my registry. I need to reinstall Lab View but i cant since it will run the installer and then not install anything probabaly thinking its already installed.

You're probably aware of this already, but Windows is quite fond of hiding things from users.
Do you have explorer set to show hidden files and folders?
There is also National Instuments program data stored in C:\ProgramData\National Instruments that is normally hidden.
Also some in C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\National Instruments
And personal settings stored in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\National Instruments
and C:\Users\%username%\Documents\LabVIEW Data
All of these locations are normally hidden when browsing for files to protect the user from themself.

New Sandisk SSD Plus on 2011 Macbook Pro is slow

Hello everyone,
Before I get into my issue here are some screen shots of system information.
I have recently installed a new Sandisk SSD on my early 2011 Macbook pro. After install of 0S and waited for finder to do its things I tested read and write speed using Black Magic Speed Test. My results are shown below.
ACTIVITY MONITOR
WHAT I HAVE ALREADY TRIED.
Used disk utility to verify disk and repair no issues found one problem found when repairing disk permissions but it was repaired.
Fresh install of OS 10.7
NAVRAM reset.
Verified disk was actually selected in systems preferences.
Im at a standstill I have ran out of ideas of what it could be. I cannot appear to find anyone else who did not resolve this issues by following one or more of the steps above.

I searched that kernel process that is shown eating up my CPU and applied to following commands in Terminal.
Terminal method of fixing Kernel_Task RAM / CPU / Memory problem in Mac.
Use terminal in Mac to fix Kernel_Task RAM / CPU / Memory problem in Mac.
Command to check ModelIdentifier of your Mac:
system_profiler -detailLevel mini | grep "Model Identifier:"
Command to change directory to Resources:
cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SM C_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/
Command to list the names of ModelIdentifier in Resources directory of your Mac:
ls
Command to move YourModelIdentifier.plist file to Users directory:
sudo mv YourModelIdentifier.plist /users
[Please Replace YourModelIdentifier.plist with Your Model Identifier.plist name. Like mine was MacBookPro8_2.plist. In My Case the command will be: sudo mv MacBookPro8_2.plist /users]

rechecked system speed using Black Magic Speed Test
Thank you OGELTHORPE for the helpful hint on changing the vies on the Activity Monitor which allowed me to find the problem.
