Problems with Login screen freeze and Bootcamp

Since installing Lion my MacbookPro very often freezes when i start it..When it reaches the login screen it just does nothing when i enter the Password......
In addition to that It takes a very long time when i try to boot under Windows....I press alt during the booting and before lion the partitions showed up very quickly...now it takes ages to do that....
Comeon Apple, fix this!

Meg,
I sent it to my exchange family in Chile. It was packaged so well, tons of bubble wrap, it couldn't have been damaged.
I worked for a professional camera company in Chicago. Our test for how well a sensitive camera part was packed was to take it to the 3rd floor and toss it out the window. Now that sounds rather radical but I've seen packages drop off the loading belt of a 747 straight down to the tarmac. The midline of that plane is about 31'. So once you see that happen our test was not so unreasonable.
I made sure the post office knew it was fragile, etc...
Well not to be cynical but those machines that do handling can be pretty uncaring.
I sent it to my exchange family in Chile.
I've tried to send a lot of cameras and parts to Uruguay. Only about half make it, the rest disappear.
They got the computer, plugged it in, and now they say the screen is acting all weird, turning different colors and freezing from time to time.
So that sounds like the BGA detachment problem. They could try the shim repair. It's easy to do on the G3 since the the GPU is on the bottom.
A reball is $79 here in the States plus shipping.
There's also the possibility that the chip itself has failed. The ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 had a known failure rate in Dells, Sonys, IBMs etc.
It the shim repair fixes the problem it can work for a long time.

Macbook Pro late 2013 - problem with login screen resolution

Hi,
I've got problem with login screen resolution, after upgrade to Yosemite. I use the 4rd resolution (last one) on my Mac Pro (late 2013), and after restart login screen is always on optimum mode... But it's only about the login screen.
Do you know how can I fix it? I would like to have the same resolution on every screen.
thx in advance

I Reformatted the CF card on the new computer   it works fine now on the new Mac Pro
Interesting point about the low power of the usb ports   I had to deal with all devices ejecting them selves when the mac pro was idle or slept Drobo needed a Firmware update and another drives needed me to change the sleep setting or the Mac Pro   to never and i also had to deploy a script to write to each device ever minute,   this kind of sold the problem with external Hard drives.   I wonder if the lowering power to a CF card   can eject it in a manor which would make the computer think it is corrupt.
I have looked at buying a power usb Hub    but seems only one or two of the ports are powered.
Seems to be a bit problem with the mac pro especially as everything has to be connected externally
Will assume the Firewire Connector does not work.

I'm Having problems with the video freezing and the sound carrying on since I up graded my iPad to ios8 BBC IPLAYER

I Am having problems with the video freezing and the sound carrying on whilst watching BBC IPLAYER ITV PLAYER until I reboot video and the problem acures again

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

Problem with my mac freezing and screen glitching?

I have the 2013 15 inch retina Macbook Pro and I have been having a problem with it lately. Whenever I use safari, my browser is freezing constantly. Its is only when I use safari, not any other applications, such as Microsoft word. Normally, I wouldn't consider this a big issue, but it gets worse. When I don't navigate on my computer and let it rest for a minute or so (while running safari and sometimes other applications) this screen pops up:
I have not dropped my computer, nor done anything to cause any damage to it. It hasn't moved from my desk and I am clueless as to what the problem could be.

Hi patrickk9,

Yosemite upgrade - problem with login screen

I've upgraded to yosemite yesterday and now I can't login to my user account - I have login screen with Upgrade needed and Guest User. When I click Guest user I have only Safari available.
Macbook Pro, late 2011, Yosemite (10.10)

The same here: at startup my computer shows a gray screen without my usual login pic, and the indication [upgrade needed]. If i go into the process a progress bar shows that something is happening then finally the system does the login and the computer works fine.
If I go back to the login window from Yosemite my usual login window appears properly and i can login and logout as usual.
The problem seems to come out starting up the machine only.
MacBook Pro (15", early 2011)
Thanks

Problem with ipod, lagging, freezing, and also skipping to the end on video

i've had my ipod for about 4 months now and i can't help to realize my fairly new ipod is slowing down on loading.
when i first started, a white screen comes up and in the middle, it has an ipod and reads, "www.apple.com/support"
main reason why i came to this place.
thats fine to me, it works when i restart it.
then, i press a few buttons, Music -> Artist -> and whatever i want to listen to, but you know how the pages are suppose to pass? my ipod suddenly lags up(slows down) and at the top it shows that im going to those pages, but the screen won't change, then after 30 seconds, the page is loaded.
when i play a song, it tends to freeze a couple times and play again, i don't think this is such a big problem, because it only freezes for about 1 to 10 seconds at most.
also since i have an ipod video, i like to put some funny videos on it. the video when i play it, it is frozen for a couple seconds and play, but plays all the way at the end, meaning that the video has been skipped to the end of it.
these are my problems, anyone who has any idea what so ever what is wrong with my ipod then please reply.
note!!
i have tried restoring over and over again.
i have dropped my ipod a few times, but not that far from the ground.

Did you Reset it or Restore it in iTunes? And if the latter, it successfully completed the Restore?

Has anyone had problems with the screen freezing for hours?

Yesterday my phone kept freezing when I went to unlock it, after 5 minutes or so it would then go to the code unlocking screen but last night my screen frooze for 12 hours until it finally ran out of battery and shut down. When the screen freezes there is no way to force a shut down...can anyone help?

If the screen freezes, reset the phone - press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears (~10 seconds). If freezing recurs frequently, restore the phone. See Appendix B of the User Guide:

Major Problem With Black Screens, Restarts, and Artifacts.

1. HP m7790y
2. Vista 32-bit
3. No error messages or BSOD.
4. No changes were recently made.
For about a month now, sometimes my computer will display a bunch of artifacts on the screen and the visuals won't change, but I think my mouse and keyboard still work. I can do CTRL + ALT + DELETE and that screen pops up with no artifacts, but as soon as I get out of it, the artifacts come back and the escape sequence doesn't work again. If I have a video going or music, I can still hear it for a bit, but then it gets screwed up. Then my computer does something that is like shutting off, but it isn't. The GPU's fan stops going, the screen goes black, and only the power light on my pc is on. Most of the time I have to push in the power button, and then turn it back on again. Sometimes it restarts on its own, and displays a screen asking me how I want to start up.
I've used the HP Hardware Diagnostic Tools and tested everything, but there were no errors for anything. I can even play video games for long periods of time just fine (Rome: Total War, The Walking Dead, Mass Effect 3, Company of Heroes). If the problem is going to happen, it happens within the first 5-10 minutes of me having the computer on. I've even used Furmark with stress tests and there are no problems.
This question was solved.

Hello mpthemaster,
The issue you are experiencing is related to the video card, but we need to figure out if the problem lies within the hardware or the software.
Software is the easiest to rule out so let's start there. Your video card has drivers installed on the computer we need to uninstall the drivers that are there and reinstall new drivers to see if the issue goes away.
1. Navigate to the link below and download the drivers for your video card do not install just yet
http://goo.gl/dBmyj
2. Click on start and then type "Device Manager" in the start search box (without the quotes)
3. Open Device Manager and expand the display adapters section
4. Right click on your video card driver and say uninstall
5. Press the win key the right arrow twice and the letter R and your computer should reboot
6. After it reboots Windows will load a generic driver for the video card
This may or may not work. If everything on the computer looks fine (things are not blown up out of proportion and you are able to adjust settings) see if the issue comes back.
If the issue comes back or the generic drivers didn't allow you to use the monitor properly then install the link you downloaded earlier and again test to see if the artifacts come back.
The computer you have comes with a choice in video cards. Which video card do you have installed? Does it sound loud?
While you are at you might as well clean out your computer and make sure it's not dirty or dusty. Check all your fans and ensure each are in working condition and there is adequate air flow for the machine. Especially check the fan on the GPU and make sure it's not dirty or getting clogged.

When my IMac awakes from sleep mode, the password login screen freezes and no cursor appears.

Hello! When my IMac awakens from sleep mode, my log in screen is frozen (I can't type anything) and there is no cursor.
I can turn the computer off and on again and then I have an active log in screen, but if I walk away from the computer and it goes into sleep mode and i have the same problem trying to bring it back from sleep mode.
Thoughts?

Hey Kristogirl,
I understand that when waking from sleep mode, your iMac freezes. Try executing these two troubleshooting steps:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
OS X Mountain Lion: Reset your computer’s PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
If neither of those help the issue, I would follow the steps in the next article, specifically the "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" section:

I am having problems with the screen freezing for a short time ( a few seconds), what is the problem?

I can be working on any website, game, e-mail, and the screen will freeze for just a few seconds and then it will be ok again.
I don't know what has happened. Could it be my computer, mouse, or ME?

First try the standard troubleshooting steps of quitting the Camera app as described below then resetting your iPad.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
