Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select  
View ▹ Show Log List   from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • I have a macbook pro with only 128gb of hard drive. I have lightroom installed and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I store my lightroom library on the external hard drive too?

    Yes. Find the LR catalog file by looking in Edit/Catalog Settings/General. Close LR and navigate to that spot. The catalog file is the one that ends in .lrcat - move it to wherever you want. Next to the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move that over as well, but if you don't LR will generate new previews. Double-click on the .lrcat file in its new home and LR will open with that catalog. Set Preferences to When Starting Up Use Most Recent Catalog.

  • I purchased my MacBook Pro in August 2013. Am I suppose to have Pages, Numbers, and Keynote already installed on my MacBook Pro? Because I don't have them.

    I purchased my MacBook Pro in August 2013. Am I suppose to have Pages, Numbers, and Keynote already installed on my MacBook Pro? Because I don't have them.

    You may have to purchase them as Apple did not offer them with new Macs until after October 2013. Check the App Store. Whether free or fee, many are discovering that Pages v5 and later is the antithesis of word processing functionality. You would be better served with Office for Mac 2011 update 14.4.5, or the free LibreOffice.

  • Printing from MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2010 running 10.8.2 ... persistent inability for Apple MacBook Pro to print to a variety of HP printers (have run Windows and Ubuntu on Parallels and same printers work) ... what is going on with Apple printer support?

    What is wrong with Apple's support of printers ... inability for MacBook Pros to connect with HP and other printers. Yet the same printers
    work under Mac OS based Parallels (running Windows or Ubuntu) - WHY?  Finger pointing (HP . Apple ... Apple > HP) ... who cares ... FIX IT ... this has gone on for months now. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

    HP discontinued support (read: stopped updating their OS X printer drivers) for a lot of their printers back when Apple released Snow Leopard and dropped even more when Lion was released.  This is an HP problem, not an Apple problem.
    Exacty what  printers are you having problems with?
    If any of your printers are on the HPIJS list, try installing the HPIJS drivers (there are 3 files to install, and it won't hurt anything).   This solved the issue for me on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt. Lion with my older HP printers.

  • When my intel based desktop goes to sleep I have to shutdown to restart or turn power off and on to restart

    After downloading OS X my desktop will not restart when clicking the mouse after it goes to sleep.  I have to either unplug and plug it back in or hold the power switch down until it shuts down completely and then restart.  Other then that, everything is fine.

    I think I have resolved my problem by uninstalling my cell phone software : Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0  I found that this program was interfering with windows when I wanted to turn off my computer and stopped shut down.  It interfered more after two recent upgrades.  I don't think Sony Ericsson has very good programer, because the more they upgrade the program the more it conflicted with Windows 7 64 bit OS  I had this program on my system for a long time before the problem arose.  I uninstalled the program and noticed my system ran better.  It shut down without forcing any program to end.  Since there was such a dramatic change in how the system worked, I tried to reset my computer to go to sleep and not shut it down.  It works a designed and no longer loses power while sleeping.  I didn't think an installed program could affect this feature but apparently it can.

  • At times when I am on a website, the cursor freezes and i have to shutdown and restart the processor efore I can proceed. Also, I have lost the toolbar and address line across the top of my desktop.

    This occurs at least 4 or 5 times a day. I can do nothing when this happens. I don't know if this is a Firefox or Vista problem. I click on a link and it does not go but just sits there saying connecting.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My iCalendar (MacBook Pro) is frozen

    My iCalendar (MacBook Pro) is frozen along with a portion of something I copied to paste on the calendar. I cannot delete. I performed a Force Quit and Restarted, to no avail. My iphone calendar works fine.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Before taking each of these steps, quit (force quit if necessary) the application. After taking the step, relaunch and test. When the problem is resolved (or when you complete Step 3 without resolving it), stop and close the Library folder.
    Step 1
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. From the folder that opens, move these subfolders (some may not exist) to the Trash, leaving the Library folder open:
    Caches/com.apple.CalendarAgent
    Caches/com.apple.iCal
    Saved Application State/com.apple.iCal.savedState
    Step 2
    Move these files from the Library folder to the Desktop (again, some may not exist):
    Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iCal.helper.*.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.iCal.Alarm.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.iCalExternalSync.plist
    Preferences/iCalExternalSync.plist
    Here "*" stands for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes. If the application now works, you may be able to put back some of the files you moved in this step, relaunching and testing after each one. Eventually you may find the one that caused the problem; delete it. Recreate your settings as necessary.
    If the application still crashes, put back each of the files you moved in this step, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. You don't have to put back the folders you moved in Step 1.
    Step 3
    Move this folder to the Desktop:
    Calendars
    Note: you're not moving the Calendars application; you're moving a folder named "Calendars". If there's no change, put the folder back where it was.
    If the application launches after you move the Calendars folder, the event database is corrupt. You have two choices:
    Restore the folder from a Time Machine snapshot or other backup that predates the corruption.
    Use a third-party application such as Calendar Cleaner to try to repair the database.

  • My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working.

    My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working. It's only 3 months old and was working perfectly fine 30min before this happened.

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

    I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
    I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
    thanks in advance..

    You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

  • 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the prob

    My daughter's 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen (null sign displays) after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. I reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP HD, but it still hangs in mid install. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the problem? I'd happily put 8 GB in if it seems probable that would solve the problem. I've tried all the suggested procedures that I've seen posted here. Disk Utility, and my older version of DiskWarrior indicate the HD is OK. I have DiskWarrior 5 on order.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down.  If successful, you should see two HDD icons,  Select the recovery partition (on the right).
    From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility.
    Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
    If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.
