My gal's macbook is acting up?

Hey there, this is my first time on this forum so please bear with me. My wife's macbook is only 2 months old and today she was unable to use the number zero on the keyboard. Also, it acted as if it were possessed and would type by itself. She has never dropped the computer or caused any damage to it, it just started acting up today. This is occurring while using programs that allow you to type i.e. word, appleworks and the like. Any ideas or do we need a to go back to the apple store and have them replace for the 3rd time? I forgot to mention that she has already returned 2 of them in the past 3 months because either the optical drive wasn't working or other problems were occurring. I Have an ibook myself and have had it for 2 yrs. with no problems. Is this common for these new macbooks to have this many problems?
Thanks, Tony

try repairing the permissions on the computer (under disk utility) that should be a good start, maybe someone else can pipe in with a more insightful response

  • My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

    My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

    Reinstall OS X;
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • MacBook Pro acting weird at startup

    Hi,
    First of all thank you for reading this, it's quite a long story. And sorry for any grammatical mistakes, I'm Dutch.
    Summary
    My MBP suddenly has been acting really weird: kernel_task eating 150-200% of the CPU which caused a super slow MBP, power button not working well, and MBP shutdown after ten minutes without touching it and with the battery on 90%. I did a clean install of OS X Lion, some PRAM and SMC resets and removed the MacBookPro7_1.plist file from the system library. The kernel_task high CPU problem is now fixed. But the power button is still not working: most of the time my MBP shuts down three seconds after I push the power button in a first attempt. In the second attempt I hold it for like five seconds and this works. Sometimes it works fine on the first attempt. Restarting the MBP from the desktop works fine. I'm also worried about the random shutdown. What could probably cause the problem with the power button and the MBP shutting down when I don't touch it, and is there a way to fix this myself? I'm not really into tech, so please keep your answer simple.
    My MacBook Pro "13 (mid 2010) with OS X Lion has always been a charm since I bought it. I've never had any problems with my MBP until now. Two weeks ago I was going on a holiday and had to check a few things on my MBP in a hurry right before I was leaving. I'm afraid I forgot to turn off my MBP before I went on my holiday, but I can't remember this exactly. When I came back after a week, my MBP started acting weird at startup and then became really slow. The kernel_task was eating my CPU with 200% and I've tried many things to fix the MBP myself but it still isn't working well. I hope you can help me with this.
    This is what happened:
    1. When I push the power button to start my MBP, the first time it shuts down three seconds after I push the button. After the first attempt I hold the power button for five seconds, and my MBP turns on the right way. After all the fixes I've done this is still an issue.
    2. When I finally got my MBP started the first time after my holiday, it was really really really slow. I later found out that the cause was the kernel_task eating my CPU. It was using 150-200% with no applications running.
    3. The MBP was acting normally (not slow) in safe mode, but in safe mode I couldn't open some sites in Google Chrome, like Facebook and Google Maps. So this didn't work either (and was not the solution to my problem).
    4. I did some things with PRAM and SMC reset but this didn't work.
    5. A clean install was already on my mind for weeks, so I decided that this was the right moment. After I did a manual backup (not with Time Machine) I restarted my MBP holding some buttons to startup the OS X Utilities screen. I first erased my Macintosh HD and then I wanted to install Mavericks because that was the only option from the menu. It took me five hours and at the end it came up with a 'can't download Mavericks, try again' screen. The MBP wasn't starting up anymore because OS X Lion was already erased.
    6. So I became annoyed and decided to use my original Snow Leopard dvd which came with my MBP. Installing Snow Leopard took me two days!!!!!!!
    7. When I finally got Snow Leopard installed, it still was really really slow and the kernel_task was messing up my CPU again.
    8. After some hours of searching on the internet, I read the following thing: fixing the kernel_task problem was easy by removing a file from the system library (http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259). Of course I've researched this solution because I'm not a fan of changing things in the system. But I decided to give this a try and it worked! Like a charm!
    9. I still was on Snow Leopard and decided to upgrade to Lion again, because I did know for sure that my MBP could handle Lion and I wasn't sure with Mavericks. So I first downloaded Lion from the App Store and then opened the installation program. This took me one day again, probably because the file from the system library was put back with the installation of Lion...
    10. When I finally got Lion running, the kernel_task was using a high CPU% again so I removed the file from the system library again and restarted my MBP. This worked.
    11. I'm working on Lion for a day now and I've installed some applications (Adobe CS5 Master Collection, Office for Mac, updated my 17.000 mails in Mac Mail, and installed some browsers). It's working fine and the kernel_task is at 1-10%. The issue with the power button is still there but sometimes it works fine at the first attempt. Yesterday my MBP suddenly shut down when I didn't touch it for like ten minutes. The battery was still on 90%. Maybe this was caused by the fact that my MBP was running for four days non stop because of the OS X installations, and it was a hot day yesterday.
    So this is what I've done so far in this order:
    1. First of all I did a manual backup on my external HDD. Not with Time Machine.
    2. I tried to restart my MBP multiple times. Restarting from the desktop worked well, but shutting it down and than turning it on with the power button didn't work well.
    3. I did PRAM and SMC resets multiple times.
    4. I decided to do a clean install and erased my Macintosh HD from the OS X Utilities screen at startup.
    5. Then I wanted to upgrade from Lion to Mavericks but Mavericks couldn't be downloaded.
    6. I've installed Snow Leopard from the original dvd, this took me two days.
    7. I've followed the instructions from http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259 (remove the file MacBookPro7_1.plist from the system library) and this worked for my MBP.
    8. Because my MBP was working fine again, I decided to upgrade to Lion. This took me one day.
    9. My MBP was really slow again: Lion put the MacBookPro7_1.plist back in the system library so I removed it again. This worked.
    10. The problem with the power button still holds so I did a SMC reset again. Didn't work. My MBP also shut down yesterday when I didn't touch it for like ten minutes. I hope this was caused by the fact that the MBP was running for four days non stop, and it was a hot day so maybe it was overheated.
    So everything is working fine again, but the power button still isn't. Most of the time my MBP shuts down three seconds after I push the power button. In the second attempt I hold it for like five seconds and this works. Restarting the MBP from the desktop works fine, and the kernel_task is now using 1-10%. I'm also worried about my MBP suddenly shutting down. Is there a way to fix this myself?
    Thank you!

    TokkieTor,
    This is the full error message I got from the test:
    4SNS/1/40000000: IP0R-9:166
    I read that those letters (IP0R) stand for different errors in the hardware, in my case it's something with the Power Bus according to this website: http://www.cnet.com/news/how-to-invoke-and-interpret-the-apple-hardware-tests/.
    Again, I'm really not into tech so what is a Power Bus and should I be worried?
    what you have is a problem with a sensor which monitors power bus current. The power bus is the main pathway along which electricity travels in your MacBook Pro. If the sensor isn’t individually repairable, then you could have reason to worry — if they tell you that a logic board replacement would be needed, then that could cost hundreds of euros. (One would hope that replacing a sensor would not require a logic board replacement, but only hardware experts can say for sure.)
    I think that posts here are only editable for ten or fifteen minutes after replying.

  • Macbook backlight acting strange after Mavericks

    I performed a clean installation of Mavericks the day after it was released, and ever since the backlight on my MacBook has been acting up. At first I thought it was just inactivity, but now today the backlight turned itself off, but the computer continued to operate. Due to being in an already bright room, there was enough ambient light to reflect and allow me to see that the display was still functioning and I could swipe between spaces with the trackpad.
    Typically what has happened is the backlight will turn off for a moment, then turn back on, and the cycle repeats four or five times over a minute. Then it goes away for a while. Today it took about 30 seconds before the backlight turned back on. And it's always the gradual fading, as if it were going to sleep, never sudden off and on transitions.

    This is a longshot, but try booting into the Safe Mode by booting while holding the Shift key down. When the Safe Mode boot finishes, reboot normally.

  • MacBook Pro acting very freaky...

    My MacBook Pro is now acting much like a scratched CD or streaming video with poor bandwidth. It operated normally for a while, then slows to a crawl or freezes temporarily, then speeds back up. This process repeats constantly, regardless if I'm working in many heavy apps or just creating a new event in iCal. I would assume this is a hard drive issue, but Im on my 3rd hard drive in as many months, all replaced by Apple, all with vastly different serious flaws, so Im wondering if theres more to it...
    Any input?
    Ive also been having some other weird issues, such as my iPhoto library not loading 95% of the content in the library folder, as well as corrupting all my photos that were edited in iPhoto.
    Also, I had some issues with Photoshop CS2 where the app would crash while loading or stop responding, prompting me to send an error report. Ultimately, I bought an upgrade to CS3 and it does the same thing, brand new program. Adobe refuses to believe its a software issue (I have my doubts to that as well).
    One other issue is that (though this happens less frequently now after I deleted a number of the 3rd party small apps I had (Quicksilver, etc)) almost every program would randomly stop responding, also bringing up the prompt to report the error.
    The best part about all of this is that, while I bought the computer in the US, Im currently living in Barcelona, Spain and can't seem to find anyone whom I trust enough to look at my computer without either ruining it or completely taking me for a money ride.
    Any help would be great (and thanks for reading my novel here)

    Anytime I try to play certain songs on iTunes, it freezes the computer and I have to remove the power to turn it off. A very PC-like symptom.
    Ive discovered a correlation between my issues, though:
    Every time I am on a slow internet connection is when the issues begin.
    1) When my first HD crashed I was on a poor wireless connection (but clean)
    2) When my computer started drastically slowing down, it was at the exact same time as my internet company had serious issues with their bandwidth.
    3) Everything else began as soon as I got here to Barcelona, where the internet is notoriously poor.
    Im sure this is just extreme coincidence, but is it possible that this has some effect on the hardware?

  • My macbook is acting strange?

    Hello all, I'm using 2009 macbook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB ram) running OSX 10.5.8. Recently, my macbook's been acting pretty strange:
    1. The admin password stopped working. Normally, I created another working account for myself so that I won't accidentlally mess up with system files. Whenever I updated the softwares or installed new ones, I just typed in the admin password upon requested. However, the admin password stopped working two weeks ago. It just reported that the password was incorrect. I couldn't log in to the admin account as well.
    2. About the same time, I noticed that my HD free space was mysteriously increased from ~4 GB to 10 GB without manaully deleting any files.
    3. The time machine backup started to stall at a certain MB transferred. For instance, last week it stopped at "Backing Up: 307.6 MB of 1.4 GB" but currently at 286.9 MB of 1.4 GB. The time machine drive still has over 70 GB left.
    My working account's still working fine but I have a feeling that it might be a problem with the HD, somethings got deleted or corrupted. What should I do or any diagnostic tools that can identifiy the problem? Should I replace the HD?
    Thank you very much

  • Macbook is acting very very slow.....

    Not long ago I noticed that my Macbook was prone to acting slowly from time to time, which seemed to be okay until a couple of days ago when the whole system bogged down entirely. After managing to restart my system, by pushing the power button until the Macbook turned off, the system then labored for several minutes to get to the main Macbook screen, and when it finally did I couldn't click on anything or make the Mac work at all other then seeing the main screen. After several attempts to repair it using several methods, I finally was able to archive my information and go back to my old Mac startup disc, which is model 10.5.2 since my Macbook is about a year and a half old.
    Anyway, this allowed me to once again navigate around my computer but everything still goes at a very very slow pace, and will hesitate frequently for several seconds before continuing, like while typing out a message, for example. Also, I get an error message stating that "the application MTWB Product quit unexpectedly" and no matter if I choose to ignore, report, or relaunch this message keeps appearing. I was just about ready to upgrade to Snow Leopard too so this has very strange timing to it in a way.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying anything in order to fix this mysterious problem.

    The hard drive is 148.7 GB's and there is 93.8 GB's to spare.
    I have used disc utility to verify and attempt to repair the disc, which it said was not necessary since the disc was apparently fine. However when attempting to verify or repair disc permissions it says there is a certain amount of time remaining but after a lengthy period of time it doesn't finish the job.
    Other then recent file downloads such as FLAC music files I have not added any applications or new software other then a downloader for FLAC files called xAct which is usually fine for me. I was going to upgrade to Snow Leopard but I hadn't gotten to that stage yet.

  • Macbook pro acting slowly

    Hi,
    im on 10.8.5, i have a macbook pro, 4gb ram, 2.4ghz intel core i5 processor.
    I have 122gb space free on the mac HD.
    I am finding lately that things are becoming really slow to respond, like opeing itunes takes about 10-15 seconds sometimes, when i open the finder window its blank for about 5 seconds, i get the spinning wheel, then it shows my stuff. Opening safari also, the icon bounces in the dock about 6 times before it opens.
    ive done the disk utility thing, verified permissions, repaired permissions etc..
    Anyone know what i can do to get it back to acting normal again? its becoming really annoying.
    Thanks for any help or advice.

  • Six-month-old MacBook Pro acting up.

    Hello,
    My mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro is running very slow and hot now. Sometimes, it speeds up a little but it msotly is very slow. It booted up to a sort of "question mark/folder" logo on Friday - right after I brought it home from AppleCare - but now it's working, but only barely. This Mac is relatively new - I purchased it about six months ago - and seems to be in a good condition (no scratches, dents, etc. though that probably doesn't mean much). I don't think I use it very heavily at all. I use it for school and that's about it - the most it's subjected to is the daily commute to and from school, which I think laptops are supposed to be able to handle. However, the computer has a history of technical issues, all of which had to be solved by the same Apple Authorized Service Center that was mentioned earlier:
    July 19th - Same problem as this time. SATA cable was replaced.
    September 3rd - Severe lag and overheating with one application running. Hard disk and front hard disk bracket were replaced.
    October 4th (Friday) - Again, same problem as this time. Operating system was re-installed.
    What is wrong with my Mac? Could this be a defective unit by any chance?
    Any help would be much appreciated. :-)
    Specifications:
    Mid-2012, 13-inch MacBook Pro

  • Does low disk space make my Macbook Pro act weird?

    Hi! I have an early 2011 15" MBP with a 750gb hard disk space. Just the other day, while I was using photoshop with my laptop, the screen went off so I had to reset it. My laptop acted weird after: doing a screen split (the right part goes to the left and vice versa), one time it had weird pixels that were scattered all over, recently, a blue striped screen. All of this froze my laptop by the way. And all of this happened after a few minutes of usage. And I noticed if I use photoshop, it would only take a little amount of time before it would act weird again compared to when I don't. All the times caused me to reset my laptop by holding the power button.
    Yesterday, it wouldn't boot past the gray screen after resetting about five times. But after it turned off by itself, I tried turning it on again and it booted normally. And I could use it normally again, but with extra care (using it beside an electric fan, checking the temperature with iStat pro).
    I tried the extended Apple Hardware Test but it told me no trouble was found.
    Another thing was, everytime my laptop froze and did the weird screen thingy, my laptop was hot.
    I tried to use it again yesterday to just surf the web, and after some minutes it was still functioning. But I remember one time I was only surfing the web, it did the split screen and froze after almost an hour or so.
    Also, my laptop heats up quickly compared before. And can stand being hot for a long time until now.
    I haven't used any heavy applications besides photoshop to test my laptop's weird behavior by the way.
    So I guess it's because of the laptop's heat. Because I can only use it for a very short time when using photoshop but I can use my laptop for a longer time when only surfing the web.
    I also noticed that if I was forced to reset my laptop and turn it on again, it would boot longer than normal. But if I was able to shut it down properly and turn it on again, it would boot normally.
    And, just a while ago, I remembered my laptop's disk space was only 14gb from 750gb (downloaded a lot of series since I bought my laptop). So maybe what's causing the heat was the low disk space. Just a guess.  So is it possible that my laptop is behaving weird because of the low disk space?

    The problem is back. But this time, it only happened when I used photoshop or played a 1080p video. I was using my laptop for almost 3 hours when i decided to use photoshop. It froze as soon as it started and made my screen display weird pixels. I restarted and tried to open photoshop again and this time, it froze. I did it the third time and after using PS for a minute, it did the split screen. After restarting yet again, I tried to play a 1080p video to just test my laptop. It froze as soon as VLC started. But when i only surf the web (which is the only thing I did before using PS), everything goes well. So I guess it really is the GPU and not the logic board or some other parts. I've decided to just have my laptop checked.

  • Connecting Iphone to Macbook to act as modem

    I have been trying to connect to the internet with my macbook via iphone - using the latter as a modem. Is this possible and is it best to use a cable. I did find some settings once but alas, cannot anymore! Please can anyone help?

    Unless your wireless provider supports tethering, you can't.

  • My 2012 MACBOOK is acting strange - is it on its last legs?

    I've a number of issues and questions to ask...
    For a few months I have had a number of problems with my macbook - cut and paste only works erratically, at times the keyboard and screen don't synchronise and the fan gets very hot from time to time. 
    I also wondered if there was a virus and if so how do I find out - I don't use ANYTHING third party and even deleted CleanmyMac.  Looking at the  activity monitor - it seemed Spotify had a few 'error' messages so I have just deleted it and, the keyboard already seems to be synching better - but that may be my imagination.  I have recently upgraded to Yosemite and I don't like it as the problems seem worse - lots of freezing and unexpected 'crashes' - Is there a way to go back to Mavericks?
    Sorry to ask so many questions, but I heard rumours  that Apple now  like to build in a 2 year obsolescence on their machines and I wonder if mine is dying.  I am a freelancer and have had a bad year so need to know if it will work as I now have a contract that I will be depending on and can't afford to buy new at the moment.
    Thanks!

  • Why is MacBook WiFi acting up? Slowing down every 5-6 seconds

    Configuration: MacBook, WLAN router Zyxel 660HW. Works ok with PowerBook. Three different 10.4.11 MacBooks have same symptoms.
    Have been working with macs since the 80's - the workstations are properly configurated, have HD space enough, network is properly defined.
    I'm 110% certain that the Airport management in MacBook has some defects. If I remove the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and restart the MacBook the WS will run some hours without the slowness.
    Dear Apple technicians - when do you have the fix available. This, I fear, is a problem for all MacBook users that are using WiFi/WLAN connections.
    Urgent response needed - customers are waiting for answers also.

    Doubtful Apple will see this, just us other Users here.
    Be sure to give this a try...

  • My 13 MacBook Pro acts like the battery has died while it is plugged in.

    I will use my MacBook normally, it will be plugged in and fully charged. I will leave it on, close the lid and leave it plugged in for the night. The next morning it will still be fully charged (the charger indicator light is green, pressing the button on the left also shows full green dots). I will open the lid and instead of being ready to go right where it left off it has a white washed screen with a loading bar across the bottom. It goes through what normally happens as if the battery has died. It takes several minutes to fully start up before I can use it. Battery indicator is still at 100%. Strangely, this problem does not occur when I leave the computer on, UNPLUG it and close the lid. The next morning it will be ready to go without the white-washed loading screen. There is some, but minimal, battery depletion after that but only do to being unplugged. Otherwise it's fine.
    Right now it's in diagnostics overnight at my local apple store. But the apple genius, and several other people I have talked to have not heard of this problem. Any insight? That computer is less than a year old, purchase december 2012. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact operating system. Thank you!

    Youve got a wake from sleep issue when powered.
    yes, youve got a late 2012 macbook Pro running 10.8.5
    Theyll diagnose it and take care of it or replace the logic likely.
