My Macbook Pro is being extremely slow and shutting down because of different errors, what can I do to fix this?
I need help!! My macbook pro is being extremly slow. When I try to open a program I get the colorful pin wheel but nothing is happening. It won't allow me to close the program. It is also shutting down saying that it had to restart due to an error, but I wont "show more" details. HELP!!
It sounds like your MBP is having kernel panics. Log one and post it for inspection.

My MacBook Pro on start-up with just go dark and shut down. It makes a clicking or popping sound but there is no chime or other typical Mac sound. I can push the power button again and it will generally power up. It is becoming more frequent with time.
i recently had it in the Apple Store for repair... some cola was spilled on the keyboard. They replaced the keyboard and through a series of circumstances replaced the logic board, case, and superdrive.
About a week or two afterward it started the odd start-up failure. At first only once every few days. Now almost daily. It concerns me. I relay on this old Mac for work and even thought I use TimeMachine, it would be quite a hassle to have to replace it.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?Try these first:

MacBook startup extremely slow and troubleshooting solutions haven't worked. What can I do?
My MacBook is about a year old, and recently it became extremely slow during startup. At first it just seemed a little slow, but the past couple of days it has taken more and more time. It's now taking 5 - 10 minutes to fully come on. Once it's on, everything is fine.
I've troubleshooted in Apple Communities and tried all of the advice I've found, but nothing seems to be working. Here are the details.
My computer:
MacBook
OS 10.7.4
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Available hard disk space: 163.27 GB free (out of 249.2 GB)
What I've tried so far (in order):
1. Check startup disk - Startup disk was correctly selected
2. Use Disk Utility to Verify Hard Disk - No problems identified
3. Updated system software - no major updates (I update regularly to begin with)
4. Check System Monitor for hidden activity - Almost no activity (no other programs were running at the time); no strange users or activity
5. Check Login Items - The iTunesHelper was causing an error. I removed it and replaced it with iTunesHelper from the iTunes Package. The error was fixed, but no improvement in startup time. (Current Login items: GrowlMenu, GrowlHelperApp (Growl is up to date), iTunesHelper, Dropbox)
6. Check Library System Fonts - All necessary fonts for OS 10.7.4 are present. I haven't added or deleted fonts besides what can be installed with the OS and or with MS Office. Here the full list (long):

7. Verified and repaired disk permissions (there were several differences, they were all repaired).
I don't know what else to try. My Mac's not making any strange noises, and is otherwise running well. The only thing that I can think of is that it's been too humid in my house recently (rainy season in Japan). But the slow startup seems to be the same regardless of time of day and humidity, and if it were humidity I have no idea how to fix that. Also, none of my other Mac devices seem to be similarly affected, so I doubt that's the problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!It turns out that my hard drive was shot. I took my MacBook to the Apple Store on Wednesday, they kept it for analysis and repair. They replaced the hard drive, and I've already got it back (Friday; less than two days in total).
Although I did check my hard disk with the disk utility, it did not identify the problem.
Some other troubleshooting advice that I overlooked was to try reinstalling my OS and to try starting up in Safe Mode. Neither would have helped in this case, but they may be useful for someone else having similar problems.
Other advice - always make sure your data is backed up and that you Apple Care coverage is up to date. -
MacBook Pro battery ran low and computer shut down , after charging battery I tried to start up and I got an Apple on a gray screen with spinning wheel that went to a panic call out screen and that's as far as it will go. I've tried start up with command keys ,a few got me to a different screen but nothing has let me into any place I can use to try and repair problem. Anybody have an idea of what's wrong with my laptop and a way to fix it ?
see if you can start up in safe mode. What is safe mode?

Macbook Pro get grey progress bar and shuts down
Hello All,
I have a macbook pro and I faced this issue out of nowhere. After shutting down the system last time, when I started the system, I could hear the apple chime, apple logo appeared with grey progress bar below it. The bar will progress to 1/3 or so and it will disappear and after few seconds laptop will shut down. I tried few times but same things was happening again and again.
After going through few support forums, I booted by pressing D to run the Apple hardware test. It wouldn't do anything at all. Apple hardware test was stuck at pass number: 1 with elapsed time of 7 seconds. All retry were the same as the first one.
I rebooted the laptop and pressed command + R and entered in recovery mode/recovery disk. I clicked on Disk utility and select Macintosh HDD and started disk verification. I got hundreds of errors/warning, saying Missing thread recode (id = XXXXXXX) and it suggested to repair the disk. I tried to repair the disk but after similar message, pop window appeared with message that disk cant be repaired. I exited out of it and went back to recovery menu.
I selected Reinstall OS X Mountain Lion and went through steps and at the point where I have to select my HDD, there was just one option and I couldn't select it. It gave message that This HDD is locked. I can't start in safe mode, and can't reinstall OS X
I believe this is because of my hard drive might have crashed. can anyone help?
Thank you,It does sound like your having mechanical or other issues with your boot drive.
If your machine is under AppleCare or warranty you can take it to them.
If you can user service your machine, you can opt to try to see if a new drive will work and install it yourself, or have a local geek do it for you. -

A while back a friend added an event that repeats every day, but it also lasts a year. This has completely thrown off my calendar. I cannot add events or delete them. Unfortunately I have my calendar backed up to iCloud. So, I decided to try and turn the calendar backup off. Does not work, I get a loading symbol for like 10 minutes and then it is still turned on. I have no idea how to fix this and I would rather not have to completely resore my phone. Help!!!
ok, for example for my photos it say 1.9gb on the phone (before it was like 4 or more) but in backup still 4. should i just turn off camera roll in backup options?

My mac book pro suddendly became really slow, and I don't know why. What can I do?
A few days ago, my MPB started to be really slow. Everything takes time, I cannot use several applications at the same time anymore, or nothing works.
I tried cleaning the disk and I deleted all useless applications. I have 422Go/499Go of free storage memory, and nothing seems wrong in the activity monitor.
What else can I do?How did you try 'cleaning' your disk? Did you use Disk Utility>First Aid and Verify and Repair the HDD?
Look at these exhaustive articles that may assist you:

It doesnt matter what site or what I am doing it will come up randomly and freeze firefox then finally a box pops up and says Flash is busy or not responding continue or stop plugin. Naturally I stop plugin. I always install the latest flash versions I have even uninstall and reinstalled flash and downgraded and still no change or it bugs me to update. I am using firefox 26.0 I usually stay away from the betas if all possible. My biggest worry with using the reset firefox or making a new profile is my fast dial I have tons of sites right there waiting for me to click on and im afraid if I do all this I will lose it. But I have used same profile for years and years so maybe its time. I will just have to redo my fast dial I guess Unless someone can come up with another way to do it. I have disabled hardware acceleration on firefox I have to it makes my browser do some weird things. I also have disabled Hardware acceleration in flash as well. I have cleant temp files and registry. I am good with computers but have never seen issues like this with flash. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks.
Sounds like you have done a lot. Have you tried to make a new profile for TESTING purposes only? You could have a bad profile. it is possible.
Also, have you tried protect mode for flash? I wrote up a bat file to set it up so you don't have to go digging through system files.
Also i have some unorthodox methods you will not see in these forums to try out if you are interested as they have resolved several peoples that i can confirm issue. I have been going crash free for over 6 months now since i implemented. Believe me some issues nothing in these forums will resolve. Click on my name on the left there is a blog i created just for this issue with all the info and some of the fixes. Everything is fully automated. Very little user interaction.
This will NOT work for everyone, but you cant hurt by trying

If you have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer, and don't see the Acrobat Ribbon in Microsoft Word there can be a couple of things to check:
First of all check which version of Adobe Acrobat you have installed (Help menu > About Adobe Acrobat), then see if it is compatible with the version of Word you are using. Use the following link to check what the compatible versions are: Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications for a list.
If you find your version of Adobe Acrobat is fully compatible, then check and see if you have the latest updates for Adobe Acrobat installed. From the Help menu > Check for Updates. If any updates are listed, install them, by following the prompts in the dialog boxes that pop-up.
Once you've updated, reboot your computer, then launch Microsoft Word again: Is the Acrobat Ribbon available now? If not, then you might need to check and see if the PDFMakerOfficeAddin is enabled in Word - The following link provides steps on how to do this. PDFMaker unavailable | Office 2007, Office 2010 | Acrobat 9, Acrobat X, Acrobat XI
Hope this helps,

went to purchase a song this morning and when i got confirm buy or cancel it froze thankfully phone work fine anywhere else just this app is froze how do i correct this?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Whenever I try an scroll through my genius mix, every single time I get to Urban Cross over my music app freezes up and then the whole app closes. I have tried resetting my phone and that does nothing to help. Please any help thy would get my music to work is greatly appreciated!
You could try going into settings then messages and seeing if you have it turned on. You will need to use your apple ID then, hope that helps.
