My MacBook Pro freezes constantly,

giving me the little spinning color wheel. Sometimes it is frozen for several minutes at a time, and then it will work again for a minute or two, and then freeze again. Please help!! (I'm a new Mac user!)

If your hard drive is too full, you can get that sluggishness as Virtual Memory struggles to find qualifying block to which it can write data.
Highlight your hard drive icon on the desktop and press the keys command and i on the keyboard at the same time. The resulting "Get Info" window with show you how much of the hard drive is used:

Macbook pro freezes constantly -HELP

Please please help. It's driving me nuts. My macbook pro early 2011 started freezing, with lines on the screen and I am have to force shut down evertime.
It first started happening about a month ago, like 3 times in a row in one hour, then I followed a series of procedures that I found here in the forums and stoped, then since yesterday started happening again, and the computer doesn't last more than 10 min without freezing. without doing anything in particular, like just using chrome.
I have started up in safe-mode, I have used disk utility etc.
Note: I installed 2 new memories of 8GB each..could it be this?
Can anyone suggest anything before I have to take it to an apple store? I live in Rio de Janeiro and they take 15 days just to inspect the computer! I can't be this long without computer!!
Many thanks in advance

It's not unusual for problems in RAM to show up intermittently after installing it.
Lines on the screen is usual for such a recent issue machine that's broken in already, unless it was abused or overheated, or subjected to a lot of dust clogging the cooling fins behind the fans.
Run a extended Hardware Test overnight, if the RAM is the problem it might find it.
Apple: Hardware Test
Need to have a Internet connection, hold the D key down for quite some time while booting the machine to load it from Apple's servers.
You also can use MemTest or Rember with no other programs running to ensure most of the RAM is being accessed.
http://www.kelleycomputing.net/Rember/
Replace the factory RAM, and if you have to return the new RAM, make sure to buy from a qaulity vendor like Crucial.com or OtherWorld computing which TEST the RAM to make sure it works as intended the first time.
PC RAM or discount RAM can be very problemic and just cost more in shipping and labor, especially on a Mac laptop.

My mid2012 non-retina 13" MacBook Pro freezes constantly

For a few days now, my MacBook Pro has been freezing every 10-30 seconds for about 10 seconds each time. It shows the spinning pinwheel, but I am able to swich desktops and use Mission Control. Every app I enter during the "freeze" will also freeze.
I tried reinstalling OS X 10.8 using recovery at boot. It took 20 hours to reinstall (took one hour to switch from 16 minutes remaining to 14 minutes remaining), end when it rebooted it had not been installed - my old user and all my stuff was still there. Very weird!
It takes about 10 minutes to boot in recovery, and even then the spinning pinwheel shows up all the time and i have to wait to even enter a menu.
There are no issues with my harddrive when I verify it in Disk Utility or in recovery mode Disk Utility. I have tried searching on the internet, but no issues have been similar to the one I am experiencing...
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 (1x8GB module, the other slot was suddenly defect, so I had to remove it)
500GB 5400rpm HDD (with 250GB free space)
OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.

Since you installed the ram yourself, where did you get the ram? You also say the one slot became defective, instead of just removing the ram from that slot, move the ram still showing good to the defective slot. Will the MBP run in that configuration?
Can you replace the original ram and see if the MBP starts properly?
Installing ram will not void your warranty unless you damage something in the process. So the first task is to determine if the slot you say is bad is truely bad then determine if the ram is faulty.

My macbook pro freezes in safari or google chrome or just shuts down all together

My MacBook Pro freezes constantly when using Safari or Google Chrome. I have to reset to continue with anything.
It happens more often when using Java to play games and sometimes just closes the browser.

I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder. in the dialogue box type
/var/db/crls
In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash. It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards. I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process. It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem. Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!

I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive

Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive.
Tried to reset pram, smc, nvram.
Tried installing new RAM.
Tried installing new hard drive.
You should know that my internal drive is installed in a cheap external case and plugged in a USB 2.0 port because i am waiting for a new hard drive cable.all
Yep all good things happened to me...i don't know if all these problems are linked, ahh and also my trackpad is behaving very erraticaly sometimes, it's like it is possessed by a ghost. My computer is not under warranty anymore so i'd like to avoid a trip to the Apple store but i'm close to doing just that.
Any help appreciated...

It's diagnostic software. It's supposed to help you find problems. I don't think anyone is making any software yet that fixes hardware problems.
That said, the two comments:

.....also my trackpad is behaving very erraticaly sometimes, it's like it is possessed by a ghost....
would lead me to think it's the logic board. On older MacBook Pro's both the USB I/O ports and the keyboard/trackpad are fed out of an integrated USB controller integrated into the South Bridge I/O controller. On newer models, the USB ports come out of an integrated North/South bridge controller and the keyboard/trackpad are handled by an SMC controller, which itself interfaces with the I/O controller. All of these items are on the logic board, and they're all unrepairable.
...unless of course the "internal drive [that] is installed in a cheap external case" is itself causing the problems. Another thing to try might be a different USB port, if you haven't done so already.
I didn't know the price for Scannerz went up. I could have sworn I only paid 30-some bucks for it. Maybe it was on sale at the time. I don't remember.
In any case, good luck.

My macbook pro crashes constantly

Okay, so here's the deal:
My macbook pro crashes constantly and it seems to be getting worse.
It's a macbook pro mid 2010 purchase with a 2.66 i7 4gigs ddr3 288mb intel hd graphics running OS X 10.8.5.
The problem occurs in numerous different circumstances. In every case it will cause the screep to go black, crash, restart itself, and give me a message saying it restarted due to an error. After that it will be, seemingly, fine, until I run into another of the myriad instances when it will crash. It's very easy to duplicate so if posting the error message will help I can definitely do that. Here is a list of occasions that the crash currently occurs:
About 20 seconds after opening photobooth.
Sometimes, but not always, after opening iPhoto.
Netflix, whenever I try to watch something instantly.
Trying to update to OS X Maverick.
Certain types of ads on sites that use video seem cause it.
Tried to install Starcraft 2 one time and it doesn't seem to like that either.
Firefox likes to crash about twice as frequently as Safari for some reason.
Honestly, there are probably others, but I just avoid certain programs now because it's such a pain.

Here's one. There's a 3 year time limit? This has only started occuring within the last 7 - 8 months.

Brand new Macbook Pro freezes after iTunes-update??

Updated itunes to 10.5.1 last night and now itunes and my brand new Macbook Pro freezes whenever I open iTunes. I got it last week and it has worked perfectly, but now it freezes and has trouble finding the wifi. What to do?? Can I somehow undo the update?

Is this Java based game Runescape? I experience the same crashes, ive tried using other things in-game other than the OpenGl and i still experience crashes, much more often when i have iTunes running while trying to play. Ive never had problems like this before, even while using older computers with much less memory, etc.. This is my first mac and id have to say it's not leaving a good impression. I planned to be able to play some games on this and consider Runescape requires very low CPU this is kind of sad that a Mac can't process it without crashing. Ive been reading lots of similar posts online and it sounds like Apple should be worried more about customer satisfaction than their own stocks. Hope something works out soon!!

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up. I've tried inserting the Mac OS X install disc to run the hardware test(Restart and hold down D), But it still does nothing. Just the black screen. Now I can't get the disc out. I've tried holding down the track pad key upon start up but that doesn't work neither.
What do I do??? Please help.

Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

(early) 2011 13 in MacBook Pro freezes in syst pref...

My MacBook Pro freezes when attempting to access System Preferences. I am able to Force Quit but that's it. No clue what's wrong. Screen went black for about 30 seconds earlier tonight. Never had a problem before a previous update. Any ideas?

Use your Finders > Go To Folder and type
/Library/Preferences
and hit GO
A window appears, now scroll down until you find
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
there may be two of them, one is a locked file and cannot be touched, the other drag it to the desktop, reboot and open System Preferences and reset your preferences.
If all is well, delete the desktop file.
If that doesn't work, perform a Reinstall Just OS X
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3046
If that doesn't work, then your going to need to log into another Admin account and remove the files of the other off the machine, delete the old user, reboot, recreate the old user account and return the files.
If you don't have another Admin on the machine, then your going to have to create one at the Single User Mode command line (hold command s while booting with a built in or wired keyboard)
Enter each comand exactly and press return after each.
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
reboot
use a different name obviously.

HT201412 My Macbook pro freezes for few minutes every time I startup after charging

My Macbook pro freezes for few minutes every time I startup after charging
I am using the latest update of IoS

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

My MacBook Pro freezes constantly,
