My MBP 2011 w Lion freezes after sleep with blue screen and other sleep issues
My MBP v2 of 2011 line with Lion on it freezes occassionally (maybe 1 out of 10 awakenings from sleep) where the screen is blue and only way to make it stop is to hold the power button and restart.
Another issue I have is I'll come out of sleep, and the wallpaper on my screen disappears, and I just see a gray background. If I go to Monitor preferences, it claims the wallpaper is set to my normal background. Restarting has the background display again.
Note: I often use a external monitor, so good chance these freezing issues happen when I unplug/plug in the external monitor (via DVI cable to DisplayPort converter to MBP)
Today I had a slightly different experience with the freezing. It had my second monitor have a bunch of pixelated garbage and a message about holding power button down and restarting. I restarted, and got a "your system has crashed unexpectedly" like message, so I told it to send the data to Apple.
I used to have that problem as well, try going to system preferences and having the computer require a password after waking, worked for me.

Waking up from sleep with blue screen
Waking up from sleep with blue screen
Since a few days my MBP wakes up from sleep by showing a blue screen for 30 seconds or more, instead of jumping to the login window (password needed after sleep)
I looked in the forums for blue screen but found many problems non related to this.
Any ideas?
Could it have to do with the fact that about 4 days ago I upgraded to 4.8 from 4.7?Hi ChangeAgent,
FINDER> FILE > FIND
Use the FIND file from the Finder, not Spotlight, to find the folder called Receipts and click on this folder. Scroll down to see if you have this Security Update installed --
Security Update: 2006-008
it may be causing general problems to everyone.
I have only seen this BLUE SCREEN since I installed this security update.
It's the very latest one.
The Blue Screen is not my only problem:
I have had two system crashes (computer waking up with DARWIN window error, fixed when I re-booted).
Scrolling has slowed down in some applications.
The update in Microsoft Office vX was reverted, yesterday I received a message that said: Welcome to Microsoft Office (how can it welcome me when I have been using it every day for the past 15 years?)
Dashboard: It takes 3 minutes for the Widgets to upload.
SOMETHING is not right with this Security Update. Apple, please HELP!

MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update
Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
I appreciate your responses and help.
By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.Kappy wrote:
Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive
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, 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.
Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
Hi Kappy,
Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases. -
Macbook pro early 2011 - overheat and crash with blue screen and glitches
Hi
since last wednesday my MBP has started to freeze and then crash with bluescreen, glitches and so on...
Most of the time doesnt not restart with any command as is overheating as well.
I did a clean installation on friday night and i am now running mavericks and then again on sunday it start with all the above issue. At the moment i am able to restart only if i reset NVRAM each time, which i do not think is really safe to do it everytime.
i also tried
Macs Fan Control
gfxCardStatus
to fix but they doesn't help.
I read many customers are now experiencing similar problems with this mac as the GPU Amd is faulty.
APPLE SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE IT or will lose many custumers
I am now waiting to be seen at Genius bar on sunday, however i read about etrecheck in this related post
http:/https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5081857?start=0&tstart=0

We are trying to use test runner with dynamics CRM.
MS Dynamics CRM will freeze and will not respond (even after 10 - 15 minutes). When this happens, the test manager will either freeze or a message will apear saying "waiting for application under test".
We are not recording action recordings...This makes using test manager impossible. It happens consistently, starting with slowing the PC down (mouse moving slowly, slow to load in new screens, drop downs etc) eventually leading to the app freezing.
Tried on windows xp, windows 7 etc on various specs of pcs.I am experiencing this same issue with
Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM. I notice this was first posted in June of 2010 and so far no
resolution? I was wondering if it could be related to memory issues? Do you have any troubleshooting ideas? The
issue for me seems to be sporadic and I can't
reproduce it every time.

Hello, II have just used teh software update and it updated my macbook pro - I think I am now using Maverik, 0SX 10.9.2
My computer keeps crashing with a bright blue screen and verticle lines. One time it crashed so it looked like my desktop was a split screen. I reboot and it starts up OK but then it happens again. I have run disc utility which says I there are no problems. Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?
ThanksMight be a hardware issue. (graphics card)

MBP 2011/MC724 performance decreasing after firmware updating
On the third day after buying a suddenly degraded performance. No additional software installed (except for the adobe flash player).
Perhaps the problem is caused by a firmware update. I've Installed it from the standard upgrades. System Restore from DVD (with full HD cleaning), not solve problem.
Current performance can not even watch videos on youtube.
Who else is having the same problem with apple mbp 2011?
What do I do with it? How to fix the problem?
thank you in advance for your help.
Sasha.youtube, safari, showing spaces and so on. Heavy freezes. Even during the first boot (after recovery from the DVD) when the music plays, there are freezes and crackling sound.

Tried to install Lion. MacBook is running with showing Apples and other signs (questionmarks etc.) without getting finished after hours. What to do?
The download took hours. But it was completed. After that i got a message that the hard-drive should not be ok. But it started updating the operating system.
Yesterday I now installed Snow Leopard again and started the download of Lion again. Worked faster and is installed now. Now i have a problem with the charger or the battery. -
Won't wake up from sleep, sometimes get blue screen and can't get it to wor
I have two problems that may be related. I am using a PowerBook G4 (Tiger 10.4.5). Sometimes when I turn it on I get a blue screen and that's it. Nothing else will come up. I have to do a forced shut down and then restart it with the shift key depressed and run repair disk permissions and then it works okay till the next time it decides to return to the blue screen (once a day approx.).
Also, sometimes it goes to sleep and will not wake up. I have to shut it down and then restart it (sometimes getting the dreaded blue screen).
This just started happening after I installed Tiger.Hi, vfv. Welcome to the Discussions.

As Adrian suggests, my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you determine which Startup or Login item is causing the problem.
2. As to the sleep problem, here are some ideas for you:2.1. If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, see "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: My wireless mouse and keyboard won't wake my computer.".
2.2. Your Mac maybe frozen or hung. Troubleshooting freezes and hangs is not unlike troubleshooting kernel panics: the steps are virtually the same. For a more exhaustive troubleshooting procedure, you could use the steps in my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ.Good luck!

Freezing iMac G5 with random red and black pixels, HELP!
Hello all, and thanks in advance for helping. Here's my dilemma: I have a 20" iMac G5 that I have been using for 2-3 years or so. I recently started doing less work on it, as I replaced it with a new 24" iMac, so now it is used for one or two programs as well as occasional internet use. The system began to become slower, then finally started freezing between minimal tasks, even something as simple as pressing TAB in Safari, to trying to make a new folder in iPhoto. We restarted a bunch of times, and even tried clearing the PRAM. Now, it freezes during the start-up and there's little red and black boxes (small, maybe 4x4 or 6x6 worth of pixels) appearing randomly on the screen. When we are able to get the system to start, after one or two small tasks (opening the Address Book, or starting Safari) the program freezes, the pinwheel starts spinning, and I lose any chance to do anything more on the computer without powering down. Any advice or suggestions is appreciated! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi PPRI and Miriam,
Same deal going on here. It's been a while since I last posted - meaning no problems (which is goooood). So here is the issue:
Would stop at blue screen before loading to main screen. Minor repair on HD volume, and now freezes on main screen very quickly, after booting past blue screen. A few wierd pixels are seen, which lets me know that it has frozen.
Here's what I did:
Hardware check with utility - no problems found, including logic board. From the manual, it seems like it is a software issue.
As before, I repaired a few permissions and minor repair on HD volume. Still not working.
Also opened up my vents and carefully vacuumed the dust - fans were spinning hard. Still, not working.
My next step is to do an archive & install. I'm not sure how to backup my files, so this will have to suffice. This leads me to my questions:
Q1 - How do you burn a backup, without an external HD and without being able to get past my main screen?
Q2 - I noticed a post before this one, concerning the same issue, with Miriam posting on it. Is it overkill to post the same problem/question in another thread in order to maximize the chances for a good response? Any suggestions Miriam?
Thank you for being so helpful. Apple community rocks!
(PS - will let you know how the archive/install goes. If it doesn't work, I may pay to back my files on disc, and then I'll try reformatting HD altogether. Again, will let you know how it goes).
(PS2 - Not sure if this matters, but my imac was one the ones that needed the free extended warranty for the capacitor issues - identified by the serial numbers. Doubt that's the problem since it was working fine after repairs). -
I experienced a strange behaviour of my iMac G5 (isight) the last few days:
I set the iMac to first display the screensaver after 10 minutes, then to go to sleep after 45 minutes. Now, the saver shows up, no problem. But then, instead of going to sleep the screen just turns to a bright blue an thats it. When i move the mouse, the desktop will appear again and i can work as usual. But i don't know if it is good when my iMac just turns the display into blue instead of really going to sleep.
Sometimes it works, and it goes to sleep with the white light flashing. But in about 50% or more of the cases, it's just a blue screen and the Mac is not in sleep as i can hear the fans and the HD.
What can i do?Thanks for your feedback. The same thing here.
When my iMacs goes to sleep as ist should (which happens some times ) then at the wake up, there is a light blue screen for several seconds. When i move the mouse or hit a key, then the desktop will appear again, and everything seems to be ok.
But this is really strange.

hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

My mac keeps freezing upon startup. It will get to the blue screen and promptly freeze. If I manage to get past the blue screen, and open up youtube on google chrome, it will freeze before it loads youtube. I've tried safeboot and disk repair, nothing seems to work. I even tried to factory reset it but it wont connect to my internet when I reboot with power + option.. any ideas?
This can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Read about storage drive so you can store your extra stuff.
Most commonly used backup methods
Also here to see how a full boot drive slows the machine down
Why is my computer slow? -

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...
