My macbook keeps on half crashing!

I've only had my macbookr pro for about 2 years and i noticed this year as i was using it, randomely, the monitor would just turn black, but the computer still on. After about 15 seconds i have to click on the mousepad and then the monitor shows up. It's not that the brightness level is at the lowest, the monitor just keeps on turning black, and then later it becomes normal. When the monitor comes back on, my web browers and apps are still open. I don't know why it just randomely turns black and then turns wrong! Is there something wrong with it?

Any error messages?

My MacBook keeps freezing and crashing during startup and use, what's wrong?

My MacBook functioned perfectly for YEARS, and suddenly it started freezing during startup. One of four things happens: it starts up no problem, it freezes at the apple logo with the load wheel spinning, it freezes at a 'no' symbol (a circle with a line through it) with the load wheel spinning, or it freezes at a logo which is a folder with a question mark in it. It occasionally goes through and gets to the homepage, where I can use the computer for a certain amount of time before it freezes again. I never get to use it for more than 30 or 45 minutes at a time.
Yes, I have updated all my software, and I haven't dropped it or downloaded anything that could cause this issue. What could be going wrong? :(

There are corrupted system files involved, so my suggestion is to reinstall OS X.
If you are using Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
If you are using Leopard or Tiger:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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 installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Macbook keeps crashing..how to read crash report?

I am trying to figure out why my macbook keeps crashing. I took it into the apple store, they ran all kinds of diagnostic tests on it, and said everything looks fine. However, it keeps crashing. I've noticed that it crashes when:
1) I open chrome, play a hulu video in chrome (or most flash video players)
2) Often times when I drag a folder into itunes
3) Open sonos music player and drag through songs (not all the time, but many times after it's been used a lot)
It doesn't happen consistently with all of these instances, but with chrome it happens the most. I'm not sure how to read these crash reports.. can someone help? It looks like a driver issue, but not sure.

"I took it into the apple store, they ran all kinds of diagnostic tests on it, and said everything looks fine."
It's because they're just a bunch of amateurs.
All they can do is wear a cool tee-shirt and read you is what it written on the label (in case you don't know how to read, it helps).
I have the same problem since I installed Maverick (supposedly the BEST ever) : My computer has never crashed so much since then !
It crashes about every 50 minutes when I (try to) work, almost everytime the computer recovers from sleep, when I launch iTunes (their own software !!!), ...
I remember those cool guys making fun of the competition ; they're now at the exact same point ! Good job guys !!!

My computer crashed after an attempt to upgrade to Yosemite. I can't quit the installer and my MacBook keeps on restarting

My computer crashed after an attempt to upgrade to Yosemite. I can't quit the installer and my MacBook keeps on restarting

I Have a 2008 Macbook Pro 15". It was running issue free until I upgraded to Yosemite. Now my logic board is fried and apple will not fix it. It started with mail accounts unable to send mail, just had to delete accounts and re- install to fix that. But, at the same time as the download, I started intermittently getting a green tint over the screen along with a snowy static like an old TV set. Fearing that my download was corrupt, I re- installed Yosemite over-writing the previous version . The green haze kept coming and going, but I also started getting strobe style white flashes in boxes in the 4 corners of my monitor. I had to do power button forced shutdowns because of pointer and keyboard function failure. Apple Genius desk told me it appeared to be a logic board failure but my computer was too old for them to work onand referred me to a Mac Specialist Center. I was told by both places that Apple installed defective logic boards back then due to changing solder formula. They extended product warranty by adding 1 yr but that still expired in 2012. I tried to post a warning on Mac Forums twice about Yosemite being a poison pill to certain platforms and my posts were pulled. The second attempt was responded to in my personal email account stating that if I don't stop posting derogatory comments, I will be blocked from forum. I am just trying to insert warnings in posts where I can. They haven't discovered that yet. Spread the word!

MacBook Pros don't run iOS. 13B42 says you are running Mac OS X 10.9.1. But yes, the graphics chip is a likely culprit. You may be able to clearly identify it with the hardware test for Intel Macs.
This hardware test is built-in if your Mac is newer than July 20, 2011. Otherwise you may need to call AppleCare for the original discs if they are missing.
The other thing that looks odd is the repeated instances of the USB 2.0 hub and the Logitech mini-receiver. Do you actually have multiple of each, or is that just a glitch of the report?
And you actually have 23 Bluetooth devices?

Is your data backed up?

HT6114 I have upgraded to OS X Mavericks and my MacBook keeps crashing and my numbers and pages programs will not open as they are being updated continuously.

I have upgraded to OS X Mavericks and my MacBook keeps crashing and my numbers and pages programs will not open as they are being updated continuously

The next time the crash happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run. Be selective about what you post and don’t post huge amounts.

Why does my MacBook keep crashing?

I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro that's currently running lion. In the last several months my MacBook has been repeatedly crashing. Sometimes once in a week and sometimes three times within twenty minutes. When it crashes the screen cuts off and the entire laptop becomes unresponsive. I've installed security software that has found and removed malware on the machine. Also just in case of dying RAM cards I upgraded them this past weekend. It's still crashing. I've sent in nearly 100 reports to apple and have yet to get a response or any other form of aid. I'm so tired of the issue happening. I just want it to stop. If anyone has suggestions or can help in any way I would highly appreciate it.

Great choice on RAM...as far as I'm concerned the only way to go. Virus software usually slows Macs down and is largely not needed....maybe only to protect e-mail that was forwarded to you and you are passing on. My ISP has Anti Virus included for that purpose.
Here's a nice thread on the issue.
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk for OS 10.6.8 and under. If you are running 10.7 or 10.8 run Disk Repair from Disk Utility on your Recovery System. It shows you how in the link.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

Macbook Pro keeps freezing and crashing

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.5 with a 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB of memory, and a Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB.
I have had the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 installed on this computer since I got it and have always used it without a problem. But last night, after running Photoshop for a couple hours, the computer suddenly froze with the little dash wheel thing spinning in the bottom middle of the screen. Then, it rebooted itself. Tonight, it has just happened again although I had been running Photoshop for less time.
I don't know if Photoshop is the problem or something else. I'm currently running a Sophos scan but it hasn't found anything yet. What else can I do to try to diagnose the problem?

Since your Macbook pro freezes and crashes, so try out these steps.
1) Reset PRAM and NVRAM
First shut down your computer. Locate the keys Cmd+Option+P+R keys and then turn on. Now press and hold all the keys until you heard the start up sound for three times.
2) Then Restart in safe mode
Here make sure the computer is shut down. Then press the power button. As if you hear the startup tone, press and hold the shift key. And then release it when you see the grey Apple logo and let the Mac boot.
3) At last run disk utility in Single user mode
Turn your Mac off and on. Then press the Command key +S keys simultaneously and press the below command:
/sbin/fsck -fy
If the above command do not runs, then type fsk -fy and hit run. Then the disk utility should run and will finish. If it finishes with no error, type reboot and hit run. The Mac will boot then.
Hope this helps you out.

I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

My MacBook Pro hard drive crashed a little while ago and has been replaced. Is it possible to take tunes from iPod Classic and transfer all of them back to iTunes on computer? Is this just for purchased tunes or can I do it for ones that have been burned from CD's as well? Thanks for any help!

No, but they will likely let you redownload it if you report the problem:

My macbook keeps asking me to use an administrator and their password to continue but nobody seems to know who is the administrator for this computer...does anyone know how to avoid this this or figure out who the administrator is?

Lynne130,
to figure out which users have administrative privileges, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences; each user other than the Guest User will be shown with a description of either “Admin” or “Standard”. It’s typical for the first user created on a Mac to be an administrative user.

I have an ipod classic and I did have a macbook pro but it crashed. Is there any way to transfer the music from my ipod without losing everything on the ipod. Because my new computer is a pc it wants me to reset my ipod but I will lose everything.

My macbook keeps randomly turning off.

My macbook keeps randomly shutting off. It is no longer under warranty. I've read all of these discussions from people with similar issues and I've tried some of the things that seemed logical. it's a late 2007 MacBook. I bought it used from a friend and they never had this issue. It was wiped clean and when I got it, after about 5 LONG uses, it randomly shut down once. I installed Snow Leopard, updated to 10.6.8, then the problem started. The fan seems to be running fine. The problem occurs weather it's plugged in or not, so I'm pretty positive it's not the battery. I've done the PRAM reset and the SMC reset.. I also took the computer apart and cleaned it. Performed the SMC reset again and it seems to be working for right now. Hopefully that's all it needed but if the problem continues does anyone have any suggestions on what it may be? Thanks.

Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: This will not delete any data.
The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
I hope I answered your question.

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now.

It ejects every time now. I've also installed the 10.5.8 combo update but that didn't help it. I've tried restarting the macbook with the disc in, holding c, all that. Why won't this work?!

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

My macbook keeps on half crashing!
