New macbook keeps freezing

I just bought the new macbook that came out and already I keep running into problems. While safari is running, finder would sometimes freeze, as well as safari. sometimes force quit won't work as well. Is it a hardware problem? Is anyone else running into this problem???

I'm having a similar problem with my MacBook, I've had it for almost a year, working flawlessly with Tiger till a month ago when I installed Leopard. Since then and even after updating to 10.5.1 the machine freezes every 5 minutes or so no matte what you are doing in it or what programs are running, restarting or forcing the finder to restart doesn't really solve the problem. I've tried almost everything, closing all programs, closing bluetooth, closing airport, repairing permissions, repairing the disk, etc... Apple Hardware Test said the machine was OK and there isn't any log or process I can blame. activity monitor shows very low activity during this freeze periods. I just don't know what to do, the MacBook has rendered completely useless since I installed Leopard and I think I'm days away from restoring a disk image I kept before upgrading, the only problem with this is I will never know if the issue is solved with future upgrades. No other of my machines seems to be affected (MacMini Core Duo and G5 Dual 1.8 Ghz, both with Leopard as well).

Brand New Macbook keeps freezing on start up...

So, just bought my first MAC and having a horrible experience so far. Brand new computer right out of box froze on me on star-up (at the screen with the spinning thing and the apple logo). So I hold down the power down to restart it and then it boots fine. The computer works fine after that, but when i turn off the computer for a few hours and try to turn it back on, it freezes again at the same spot.
I called Mac support and they told me to re-install the OS using archiving option, did it and didn't solve the issue, and actually it gave me a Kernel problem after that... So I called again they told me to do a clean install... did it.. and still doing it... I have tried repairing the permissions or whatever and nothing, still freezes on start-up.
Obviously, they won't let me return it so I can get a brand new one, they want to try to repair it first. This is sad since the computer is not even 1 week old...
Anyone has any clue what the problem might be ? At this point to me it seems its a hardware issue, i don't think it's software...

I tried the fdsk and it did not work.
This morning i got a Kernel problem.
PANIC (CUP 0 CALLER 0X003A92A) or 1
UNABLE TO FIND DRIVER FOR THIS PLATFORM "ACPI"
DEBUGGER CALLED <PANIC>
There were a bunch of numbers and thing in between but you get the point... and as i was typing this message on my laptop, it froze, had to reboot it.
Here is the deal, which i don't think it's what's causing it since when i first turned it on without any of these plugged to it, it still froze on start but... I have the Apple pro keyboard and mouse attached to it, plus the Ipod cable + have it plugged to a Dell Monitor.
Would any of those things cause any problems ? I wouldnt think so, it better not because my sister's dell does the same thing and she has never had a problem with an external keyboard/mouse and monitor plugged in while turning on the computer...
Pretty sure this computer is just Dead on Arrival like someone said, the bad part is i bought it online at Apple store and i couldnt just walk in and return it...
Any other suggestions besides calling them and demanding a return ?
Thanks guys.

My new MacBook keeps freezing at the login. What possibly could be the problem?

I have taken my computer to the store 3 times and the last time left it there for 4 days. Each time it miraculously works and there is no identified problem. I have not put any software on in for two months to see if it was the problem. It randomly freezes at the login window and have to restart several times. Anyone else have this problem?

Are any wired peripherals connected? If so, disconnect them and test.

HT1338 my macbook keeps freezing

my macbook keeps freezing how do i fix this problem?

Boot from your installer dvd, recovery partition, or external bootable drive and run Disk Utility to repar/verify your drives (not repair permissions).
Do a smc and pram reset.
Boot in safe mode then reboot.
See if your machine still freezes after those operations are preformed. If so run Apple Hardware Test to check your machine.
If AHT findes nothing then your software additions will need to be investigated. But worry about that later.

Hi scottschierer,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your computer reaches the login screen but does not load the Desktop after you log in. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to help resolve the issue.

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!!

Why does my new iMac keep freezing for no apparent reason?

Why does my new iMac keep freezing? This usually happens when it is not being used and is particularly frustrating when I do need to use it and ahve to switch off and then on again and wait for it to reboot.
I am not computer literate so keep any answers as simple and idiot friendly as possible. I treat it like a car. If I put in the key and turn the ignition on and the enginesprings into life I am content. If not.............. well!

In order to provide any help we need to understand a little bit more about the problem you are experiencing.
You indicated the issue occurs when the sytem is not being used. Does this mean that you stop working on the system and the system 'goes to sleep' where the screen goes black, but when you need to wake it back up by pressing keys on the keyboard or clicking the mouse the system doesn't wake back up? To test for this issue open the System Preferences and click on the Energy Saver preferences. See the 'Computer Sleep' slider to the far right 'Never' setting. You can set the 'Display sleep' setting to any number you prefer. With these settings see if the issue still occurs and let us know the results. If it resolves the issue then give Apple a call and let them know you are unable to wake the system when it goes to sleep. You shouldn't be having that issue.

My macbook keeps freezing with the left side of the screen on the right and the right side of the screen on the left. Help

My 17-inch early 2011 macbook pro keeps freezing on me. The freeze usually occurs when I'm importing or exporting pictures, when I stream anything, or If I am watching a dvd. The left side of the screen shifts to the right and the right side of the screen shifts to the left. lines also appear on my screen and I can not force quit any open application. I have not dropped my laptop at all.
Mac OSX Lion version 10.7.5
2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7
I would like to avoid going to the an apple store to fix this problem if possible. The closest one to me is 40 miles away.
Help : )

If you don't have the Applecare extended warranty then you will need to pay for the fix. The fix is a New Logic Board. It seems as your Graphics card is failing in some way. No there is no software fix for this.
The Graphic chip is soldered to the logic board and the only way to change/fix it is to replace the complete logic board.
Good Luck and Best Wishes

My MacBook keeps freezing for no reason!

So I bought a MacBook about 3 weeks ago and I was super excited and I love this thing, but it keeps freezing for no apparent reason! I will just be on the internet, or listening to music on iTunes or chatting, and it will freeze. I can't get any response from the keyboard or the mousepad and if music is playing, it sounds like the track is skipping. I have to force shut it down by holding the power button down everytime this happens. Sometimes it will happen after 30 minutes, sometimes not for 3 hours. I took it in 2 weeks ago for a hardware check and it came up clear and they told me it should be fine and might be my wireless internet connection. I have a NETGEAR wireless router. So, I turned off airport and did other things on the computer and it ran fine for over 3 hours without freezing. I was convinced it was my internet. BUT.... I had my friend come over and hook up to my internet connection and we both were on our macbooks (she has the exact same model as me) and mine froze and hers was completely fine the whole time! I was really angry and confused, so I brought my macbook back in again last friday. They told me there was an airport update, so I downloaded it and it seemed to be working. But that night, it froze once again. I was so frustrated and didn't know what else to do, so I did a complete system reinstall to clear out any programs that may have been causing the problem. I was so sure that this was going to work. And it seemed like it did. It's been working all week without freezing. Until tonight. I was sitting at my desk, reading my email, listening to music on iTunes, and chatting on iChat. I wanted to move my computer, so I unplugged from the wall, sat in a different chair and didn't plug back into the wall. It was fine for about 2 minutes in the new location, and then it froze once again. I honestly don't know what to do other than just bring it back and ask for a new one. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Any other suggestions? I just want this to stop!!!

Hi Stephen,
There seems to be alot of threads about this issue.
I just put 'freezes' into the search and loads came up.
It sounds like you've had a bad start with your new MB.
Does it get extra hot before it freezes?
There is a thread about the heat issue and freezing here...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4710316&#4710316
Have a read and see if any of your problems are similar.
If it persists much longer I would get in touch with Apple again and get it sorted.
Hope this helps!

Macbook keeps freezes, more then 10 times this month

Hello. I have a late 2011 15" macbook pro, the one with 2,2 ghz and it keeps freezing. I have to force shut down and then power it again. A friend of mine has the same notebook, and i didn't see any freeze at him. I copied the log from when it freezes and i will paste it here. Any ideeas? I am using a intel 320 120gb sata 2 SSD, but it worked perfect in my past macbook pro. Hope someone will help me. Thanks

Use the Recovery partition to either reinstall over the top of the existing install or Wipe the drive and then reinstall clean.
You downloaded what is meant to go over the top of a previous OS X version or onto older hardware as a clean install. Could be the driver set included with that download does not have the correct driver set for NEW MBPs. As you do not need to BUY Lion for new MBPs and the only way you can buy lion is logging onto the App store from a MBP running Snow Leopard (and maybe Leopard, not sure about Leopard) and then paying for it. With new MBPs all you have to do is boot into the recovery partition and select Install Lion.
I would also suggest you make a Recovery HD boot USB thumb drive using the file from this link. But first you need the REAL Lion installed on your new MBP that was meant to go on that new MBP.

You will need to make a new DVD or thumb drive of the new download for that new MBP.
Good Luck.

My 2008 macbook keeps freezing and is working incredibly slow!

I've never had a problem with my macbook until recently. It is working much slower than usual and keeps freezing. The beach ball shows up almost constantly. It's incredibly frusterating!
Does anyone know how to fix this??

How about revealing what computer you have and what operating system?

My MacBook keeps freezing during startup

I got my MacBook Pro in 2012. Currently, it keeps freezing while I try to turn it on. I get the apple logo and the spinning wheel, and eventually it freezes. I've tried starting in safe mode and it froze. I've tried recovery, it "restarts due to a problem during start up" and then freezes again. When it freezes, there are little green pixels on the screen as well.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

MacBook keeps freezing during Time Machine?

Hello! My computer keeps freezing up about 10 minutes into Time Machine. I have an internal 320gb drive and I am attempting to back it up to the Maxtor OneTouch4 Mini 250gb external hard drive I was using previously to back up my PowerBook G4. Also is it possible to keep my G4 files on there and use it to back up my MacBook?

Thanks for the link to the safe mode start up info - I'll give that a go tonight.
Among other things, that will check the directory structure and fix it if possible. That might be all you need.
I'm on 10.6.8 and my brother upgraded me so I guess he still has the discs, I will check. Is that for a reinstallation?
You need the main one to reinstall OSX (only; that doesn't disturb anything else), or to restore from TM backups. You may not need to do either, but should always have the disc handy.
What did your Mac ship with, and do you have the original discs? One of them has an Apple Hardware Test specific to your Mac. It's not real extensive, but might find any hardware problems.
Only I'm not really wanting to do anything like that til I've backed up - bit of a catch 22!!
If you're sure the backups were completing until recently, eject and disconnect the drive until you need it. No sense risking any damage to them!
If you have or can borrow another external, you might be able to make a copy of the current contents of your HD on it, via the Restore tab in Disk Utility. From your description it sounds doubtful, but might be worth a try.
And/or, if you have some CDs/DVDs or a USB Thumb drive, you might be able to copy some stuff to them.
