My MackBook Pro freezes often..!

My 13-inch, Early 2011 MacBook Pro freezes often. I bought this MacBook Pro for the school and it has been a frustating experince. The MBP lockes during
browsing, editing word docs, PPT presentations or sometime middle of hosting GoToMeeting meetings. The worst part was it locked during a timed test for my MBA program. I am very disappointed with Apple...!!
MacBook Pro Configuration:
13-inch, Early 2011
Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Serial Number  C02FNZ3RDH2G
Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have tried following things:
1. Using Disk Utility repaired HD and permissions.
2. Using Activity Monitor monitored Page Outs and System memory.
3. I went to Genius bar twice. They formatted the hard disk and reloaded Mac OS 10.7.4. It did not fix the problem. They ran full performance test but did not find anything.
My Fall Semester is starting next week and I will really appreciate if someone can help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

  • MacBook Pro freezes often...

    I have a MacBook Pro that freezes pretty often. Sometimes it will restart by itself. I'm running Lion, and I don't recall these problems before I installed that OS. Any thoughts?

    I have a 15", but couldn't identify the year, but I think its an older version. Here's what I got:

  • Macbook Pro freezes often after the hard drive replaced

    Hi I just had the hard drive of my 17" mbp replaced at the Apple Store. The reason I brought my mbp in was because the Disk Utility couldn't fix my HD's problem (loud noise, extremely hot, slow..and disk utility couldn't run repair), and the genius bar person suggested I replace the hard drive.
    However after I had my compter back, even though it is not as hot as before and the Disk Utility showed everything is normal now, the really loud fan (possibly fan I guess) noise still sounds very crazy. I was just doing some web surfing, light work stuff, but the HD area just roared. Also my computer freezes so often now, and apprears busy (showing the rainbow color spinning ball) quite frequently even when I am just using Safari and Mail. This is quite annoying and makes me worried more.
    Do you guys have any suggestions? I could bring it back to the store again but it was really a trouble. Any ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Thank you both. Before I take it back, I would like to confirm one last thing: how often should the mbp make loud fan noise? Or actually we should never hear the fan noise? I really don't remember when I just got this computer (June 2006) I used to hear fan running like this. But I do know if the CPU was too busy while I were using Adobe programs or play WOW or somehing on my old computer, the fan of my old computer (PC) was pretty loud. I am just wondering if the situation I am experiencing is normal or not before I send it back. Thanks!

  • My MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion 10.8 is freezing often. What should I do?

    My MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion 10.8.3 has been very sluggish recently. It freezes often.It is slow downloading from the Internet. Applications are slow to load and sometimes freeze in mid use. If I accidentally click on something that I didn't want to do, and then reclick what I wanted, it gets frozen and seems to take forever to straighten itself out. I try to Force Quit,a dn many times nothing happens.

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • HT4177 My mackbook pro suddenly freezed and when I swiched off and on again, a grey screen appeared with an apple logo then a loading circle underneath, and after a few hours, a blue screen appeared. What shall I do with this?

    My mackbook pro suddenly freezed and when I swiched off and on again, a grey screen appeared with an apple logo then a loading circle underneath, and after a few hours, a blue screen appeared. What shall I do with this?

    What operating system version, and do you have any backups of your data off the machine? TimeMachine? Option Key bootable clones? Storage? DVD's?
    A reinstall of the operating system may be in order as a last resort, so if any of these steps on these links get you into the machine, make sure to backup your personal data (Music, Pictures, Documents, Movies) off the machine to a non-encrypted  powered external drive regular storage drive (not TimeMachine as it might be corrupted too) and disconnect as soon as possible.
    Good Luck and report back all what you tried.
    Also report what change occured before this tragedy happened, was there a  Software Update? A EFI firmware update? Etc.

  • I have a MackBook Pro I updated to Maverick and now my internet won't work and all my programs freeze and I have to restart my computer.

    I have a MackBook Pro I updated to Maverick and now my internet won't open and all my programs freeze and I have to restart my computer. The only program that doesn't freeze is Microsoft Word.

    Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
    To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
    When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
    Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:

    Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
    Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
    It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
    Copy and paste its output in a reply.

    EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
    When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
    After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • Mac OS X Lion freezes often in help related activities

    Hello, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 freezes often on my 13-inch, Mid 2009 MacBook Pro. It seems it's (almost) always related to some activities with help system - it mostly happens when I use search input field in Help menu of any application or sometimes if system help viewer is opened.
    The freeze is little bit strange. Typical symptoms are
    mouse doesn't freeze, but cursor changes to spinning wheel when it's placed over application which caused freeze
    frozen application doesn't respond to any input
    it's possible to switch to another application with mouse or keyboard shortcut
    any other application appears to be working correctly (mouse cursor is not spinning wheel at least), but UI interactions (with mouse or keyboard) get it to the same state as described above
    applications can't be forced to quit, even with keyboard shortcut
    finally, all applications and OS X freezes, mouse cursor still moves (even using Magic mouse), but nothing works anymore. Only solution is to switch MacBook off and on
    I tried to delete Caches/* in /Library and ~/Library, but it didn't help. My MacBook is upgraded to 8 GB RAM with Kingston DDR3 modules (choosed via Kingston compatibility tool) and Kingston SSDNow V200 Series 256GB SSD disk (trim enabled with Trim Enabler). Crashes are probably not related to RAM upgrade, but it may relate with SSD installation (but I'm not sure when they appeared first).
    Freezes almost don't happen in other situations than described.
    Any ideas what could cause these problems? Thank you.

    I am having similar problem with my machine, a Mac Pro (1,1) with Kingston V200 256GB SSD installed. It is fairly random when it chooses to freeze up, and you described it exactly-- I can still move the mouse and select programs, but nothing is happening, requiring me to do a hard reboot. I have noticed the past few instances it seems the trigger might have been an unattended alert box from Apple Mail (asking for a password) which I didn't see until getting home from work, so it could have been sitting there for hours. Not addressing the alert box holds up all the other Mail processes and I guess it just snowballs (?)
    Anyways, I'm thinking the problem is this particular Kingston SSD (the V200). I have another Kingston SSD (the SSDNow V Series SNV425-S2/128GB) which I was using as the boot drive and it has worked flawlessly since I installed it. Later, I got a good deal on the V200 and decided to use it as a secondary drive to hold my working data, for things such as my huge iPhoto library file. Not long after installing the V200 I noticed the problems starting, and after a lot of troubleshooting I noticed this pattern with iPhoto:
    If I had just booted up and was using the computer actively and then launched iPhoto, everything was fine. If the computer went idle for a while and then I launched iPhoto, I would get an error about it not being able to write to the iPhoto library (remember the library was housed on the V200). After many trial and errors I found that the solution to this was to use Disk Utility and unmount the V200 (sometimes having to force eject it), then remount it, and then I could run iPhoto fine.
    And then of course there were times when I was just trying to browse the V200 in the Finder and it would cause the system freeze as described above. It seems like the drive somehow goes to sleep and then you just can't get it to wake up and it causes all sorts of problem. Whenever I have to hard reboot I run FSCK in single user mode, and I've been getting this error notice a lot:
    AppleAHCIDiskQueueManager::setPowerState(0x1c7b1600, 1 ->2) timed out after 100892 ms
    SATA WARNING: Enable auto-activate failed.
    However, it will finish the disk check and say the disk is OK, with that "File System was Modified" note. Then when I run the check again it goes through with no problems.
    I ended up doing a warranty exchange with Kingston and got a new replacement drive (as opposed to them refurbishing the drive I sent in). I am now using the new V200 as the boot drive, which is turning out to be a bad idea, but I kind of wanted to test it out.
    I read on this forum that it might have been my Icy Dock adapter case, which is used to fit the SSD into the Mac Pro hard drive sled, perhaps a faulty case causing the problems. But when I installed the replacement drive I nixed the Icy Dock and have it directly connected, and the problems still remain. I had used TRIM enabler at one point but turned it off long ago to troubleshoot, so I don't think that affects this problem.
    Incidently, while I was waiting for Kingston to send back the replacement V200, I was using an external firewire drive in its place as a secondary data drive (ie. the drive housing my iPhoto library) and never had any problems or freezes.
    So that's my woes. I can't pinpoint it exactly or definitively but the evidence I have points to something screwy with this particular Kingston SSD model. I am going to contact them again and see about returning it for a refund. If anyone has any helpful information or insight I'd appreciate the info.

  • 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

    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 Mac Pro freezes.

    I have two startup disks. One SL for fcp 7 and one ML where I run FCP X. FCP X is often plagued by the beach ball. Recently when editing on FCP X (and I suspect it's when I am also running Safari) my Mac Pro freezes and requires a power off to get going again. Any suggestions?

    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.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • 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, Shuts Down, Three Beeps

    Hello, i have been having continuing issues with my MacBook Pro Freezing and not starting up. Sometimes after a slight move or bump it will freeze and not recover, sometimes with three beeps, sometimes not, and sometimes it just immediatly shuts off. It will also do this when it is not bumped, but not as often. I know that the three beeps indicates a memory error, but i have gone through and reseated the RAM and done 10 instances of Memtest while in the command prompt of single-user mode, and it has not indicated any failures. I have also booted into the diagnostics mode on the MacBook and tested the memory and the logig board twice. Still no failures seen. Finally i have verifyed the disk with Disk Utility and found no faults (However one time of my many tries it said that there was a fatal error that must be reparied from the Recovery HD so i booted into recovery and hit repair disk and it said there was nothing wrong, and all of my further attempts have been from the Recovery Partition).
    I am just not convinced that my ram or my logic board is at fault here, and i am definatly not ready to put out the money for them if it will not solve my problem.
    All help is appricieated. Thank You!

    No this is the stock 4GB that shipped with the computer. And the only problem with that technique is that this problem will disappear for almost two weeks and suddenly every time I try to start it it will beep or freeze or if I bump it it will shut off or freeze. And after it acts up for a day or two I could do whatever I want to it and it will show no symptoms.

  • Cursor is freezing often after installing leopard

    I don't know if this is just a coincidence or not but my cursor freezes often since I installed leopard on Friday. How can I solve that? So far I have been turning off the computer then turning it on to make it work. Help

    Mine too. New Macbook Pro, upgraded to Leopard and started then. Continued after 10.5.1. I ONLY use the track pad. And it's only after sleeping and waking. Independent of what is running (including no apps) and processor is not being worked at all. Only cure is reboot....
    I also get slowish shutdown, and once or twice a half wakeup from sleep - drives get power, but no screen.
    Wondering how many who have these problems are running eyetv, or Awaken - something with wakeup style agents in the background?
