New Macbook Pro 2011 - Keep freezing......
Hi All,
My new macbook pro keep freezing from time to time......Even though I have updated the OS to 10.6.7, the problem still exists....
Anyone can help?
V
If the "funny noise" was a clicking or clattering it is probably a failed or failing hard drive. No, I don't think it had anything to do with the update. I'm assuming the "funny noise" was not the sound of the CD/DVD drive waking up you hear each time your reboot. Does it still make the "funny noise?"
If it is now working, I can't tell from your post, you probably should make an appointment at an Apple Store to have it checked since it is new.
It is generally a good idea to empty the trash and repair permissions (using Disk Utility) before and after any update. You should have a copy of Onyx on your HD. The developer is very active so keep up with the updates. it is free. It's a good idea to follow the instructions.
If I could only have one heavy duty repair solution, it would be DiskWarrior which is available at most Apple Stores. The developer has been around since System 8 or System 9 days. DiskWarrior is $99.95 and considering it will repair problems that other utilities can't touch, it is a steal. I run DiskWarrior about once a month.
Finally, I would get AppleJack which only runs in Single User Mode. That means holding down the <Command> and <S> keys at startup. AppleJack makes it possible to run Disk Repair without having to boot from an external drive or using the install disks. Follow the instructions. AppleJack is free. A plus is you will get to see what is going on "under the hood" because Single User Mode is mostly just the Unix part of Mac OS. You will get to see what all computers looked like just a few decades ago.
Good luck

I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.
Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway. -
New Macbook Pro Retina - Keeps freezing...
Picked up the brand new Macbook Pro Retina on Tuesday. Great piece of kit, however I have found the system has frozen a couple of times now meaning I have to reboot by holding down the power key.
Any advice? Obviously not what I would expect from a £1250 laptop after two days...Seriously Apple, you make us pay so much money for a "great" product, yet all we are faced with are issues. Please fix this, or a lot of Apple enthusiasts, will start leaving.

New Macbook Pro 2012 keeps freezing (HELP!!)
It keeps freezing, it happens after a few hours, sometimes after a few minutes!!
First, the app (google chroome, safari, skype) and then, the finder... I can move the cursor but it doesn't respond, the beach ball won't stop spinning and I had to force shut down by holding the power button (not once...two, three or four times a day)
I've done everything, disk utility almost every day (repair permissions), resetting the pram... I don't know what else to do... I was thinking about buying 8GB RAM (2x 4) but I don't want to waste my money if it's not going to work...

Macbook Pro 2011 keeps freezing and disconnecting from internet
Ever since I upgraded to 10.8 Mountain Lion, my macbook has been acting up and its becoming a real big hassle.
The first big issue is it keeps freezing. Everything freezes, the only thing I can do is move my mouse cursor around but I can't open anything, everything just becomes frozen. Whenever this happens I have to hard reset my macbook and turn it on again all the time. This occurs between an hour of use to 3 days of use, its always random.
My 2nd issue is my airport keeps disconnecting, It doesn't show that its disconnected but I can never connect to anything or open any pages on google chrome or safari.
Can anyone figure out whats the source of this issue? I took it into the genius bar and they weren't even sure either, but then again they didn't do a thorough investigation they just quickly looked at it because I was runnnig short on time.Been having the same problem since I upgraded to Mountain Lion - MBP (2011) crashing at least twice a day. I noticed that it's Chrome that crashes first, so I'm using Safari for now, so lets see if it makes any difference.

My brand new MacBook Pro 15" keeps freezing
I got a MacBook Pro 15" with 750GB memory, and 8GB RAM, and it keeps randomely freezing, im about to go away to boarding school, so if you know how to fix this please tell me. It is not a problem with using to much RAM i dont think, because I checked activity moniter and it said i had 6.19GB free. Possibly overheating. Any suggestions?
Here is freeing up hard drive space in case you or others need it.
Not enough free space can cause all sorts of issues including freezing and disk corruption.

Unable to watch Adobe Flash / YouTube - OS X 10.6.6 - New MacBook Pro 2011
Hello,
I'm new to Mac family.
I recently got new MacBook Pro 2011 15" model. However I'm unable to watch videos on YouTube. It shows Adobe Flash Player is out of date. My MacBook Pro software up to date. I tried to download and install latest version of Flash Player from Adobe website. Installation went successful, but nothing works.
I tried on both Firefox and Chrome builds too. I even restored MacBook Pro to default settings. I'm just wondering, whether Mac supports Adobe Flash Player at?
Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Does anyone else have a solution to this issue that does not involve doing a fresh install of Snow Leopard? That solution is not acceptable to me.
I did a system migration from a Time Machine backup when I purchased my new 2011 MacBook Pro last week. All my applications seemed to be working normally until I attempted to watch a YouTube video in either Safari or Chrome. In both browsers, all I get is a black screen where the video should be playing.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of the Flash Player for Safari and I am not able to manually update the Flash Player for Chrome since that browser keeps the Flash Player up-to-date automatically. The black screen persists when attempting to watch a video on YouTube. I cleared the site cache for the Flash Player just in case something was buggy there, but the problems remains.
Any assistance would be much appreciated! -
My MacBook Pro Retina keeps freezing up. It seems that it is happening more often as time goes on.
I first noticed that the track pad would freeze then whole computer would completly freeze.
Most annoying.
Is anyone else having a similar problem?Hey B-bram,
For issues with video resolution not being consistent, I would start with resetting the NVRAM on your MacBook Pro. That will reset the resolution to its default as well as resetting other default settings like sound volume and start up volume. Take a look at the article below for more information about that and how to perform the NVRAM reset.

Brand new MacBook Pro 2011 got stolen
sorry I can't find a place post this so I post this here. This unfortunate event happened yesterday. I got my brand new MacBook Pro 2011 from the apple store and I went to pick up takeout at a plaza 10 mins away. My car got broken in and my Brand new MacBook Pro was stolen. I just went to pick up take out for 10 mins only. I m wondering if there is anything that Apple can do such as tracking the serial number? I have the receipt with me luckily.
Thanksi have had my macbook stolen before
the apple store people will say you cannot do anything
you have to call tech support, its the tech support people that will flag your serial number on your laptop
unfortunately with you laptop only being a few minutes new, and they probably stole the whole thing with box and components you have a lower chance of ever retrieving it,
i feel for you man, i know what it is like to get your mac stolen -
I am going to NYC in a week and I'm wondering if there is a store where I can buy a new trackpad for my Macbook Pro 2011 unibody. I would also like to buy the tools i need to replace it myself. I can't find anything when I search the interwebz.
The problem is that when the machine is closed, it goes to sleep, and in sleep mode, all that goes on is that a bare trickle of power is used to keep the contents of RAM alive. Networking is definitely not active while asleep.
Now, regarding ds store's solution, that's a fairly bad idea. If the machine is just sitting at your desk, you don't need to close it, or if you feel a need to close it you can use Kappy's solution. (Although, it should be noted that apps like InsomniaX and Caffeine do not, as far as I know, keep a machine awake when the lid is shut.) If you're worried about passersby seeing your screen, just activate the screen saver instead. You could even require a password to dismiss the screen saver for added security.
On the other hand, if the machine is being transported, keeping the lid open and the machine running is not a good idea. The sudden motion sensor ought to protect your hard drive against damage caused by moving the machine around... if it's working properly, and I'd rather not depend on an "if" to prevent hardware damage to the machine. Plus, if it's in a bag and you've forced it to stay running, it could overheat due to lack of ventillation.
So, long story short: if you're transporting it, close it and deal with logging back in to the network, and if it's on your desk, don't bother closing it. -
Macbook pro 2011 keeps kernel panicking intermittently
My new macbook pro keeps crashing every hour to day. I have lost a great deal of work as a result, and this problem is really starting to get aggravating. I have done numerous reinstalls from the lion dmg imaged to a usb drive and this problem will not go away. I have an ssd and have upgraded the ram to 8gb. I ran ram tester in single user mode 4 times and it found now problems. I am at a loss of how to proceed. The following is the kernel panic infomration given on reboot:

You have multiple virtualization systems loaded, any one of which is capable of causing this crash, especially if they are not absolutely up to date. You should make up your mind and use ONE virtualization system { VMWare, Parallels}.
Anti Virus software is a personal preference, but is it also completely up-to-date?

Brand new Macbook pro 2011 15" screen shifts
Hello there
I've had my new macbook pro for 4 days and I've been having problems with the screen.
Time to time the screen would begin to flicker a little for a minute, and finally shift completely to the left. The left part that gets cut off the edge reappears on the right end of the sceen. There is a black bar about an inch thick where the split occurs. The cursor still works at this point, but is useless and I have to restart my laptop.
This shifting has happened 6 times so far I think.
If it doesn't shift, then the screen would turn completely black but it's not turned off (the music that is playing keeps going but is 'stuck')
This blackout has occured 4 times.
The problems are occurring more frequently now.
*lol I was in the middle of typing this on my macbook when it shifted again (this time halfway) and now I'm on another computer and I recovered everything I typed. Thanks apple.
At first I thought it was because of Photoshop cs5 or youtube, both of which were running when the problems occurred. But now the problem occured again without any of those programs running except for Google chrome.
I would appreciated some advice. Thank you

New Macbook Pro Retina keeps changing desktop wallpaper
Every time i turn on my macbook the desktop wallpaper has resets to its original wallpaper that it uses when you turn on the mac when you first buy it. I have tried changing it to one of the provided wallpapers in the system preferences and ones from my iPhoto but it still changes back to the default wallpaper when i turn it off and on.
Its a brand new macbook pro with retina display, I've only had it 2 weeks. Does anyone now how to fix this or is it a fault with the mac?
Thank youHi all,
I have had this same issue with OS X Lion and it continued on to OS X Mountain Lion as well. I have had the wallpaper switching on me to the default solid blue color whenever I restarted (every month or so) and when switching between users (every other day or so). So this issue was very frustrating having to go back in and reset the wallpaper to my preference whenever I switched to either user. I found a solution that has been working for me for several restarts and several switching of users now:
First, I took some of your advice by locating all of my wallpapers into a 'Wallpaper' folder located in each user's 'Documents' directory. I copied to same wallpapers to each user so both user's have the same wallpapers to choose from.
Then, I installed the latest stable version of 'OnyX' (freeware software). I used OnyX on both user accounts to run through practically all the settings to clean up the entire Mac (Mac Mini, mid 2011) including: Verify [S.M.A.R.T. Status, Structure of volume, and Preferences], Maintenance [Permissions], Cleaning [System cache, User cache, Internet cache, Fonts cache, Log cache, Misc. cache]. I generally left the default checked boxes alone and didn't change any settings and Executed the program to run as default.
After running OnyX, I re-set my wallpapers for each user and went ahead and tested the restarting of the computer and switching back and forth between users. It was very easy to duplicate the bug previously, but now I could not get the wallpaper to switch back to the default blue as before. Everything seems stable with my wallpaper selection now.
Hope this helps someone. Thanks everyone for your input too.
As a side note, my Mac is running much smoother and quicker now too. =) -
