Stuttering, crashing, MBP-2009 / 8GB / 3rd Party HD

Reading through all of the Yosemite angst, I did a complete clean install of Yosemite using a USB boot drive and my 5.5 Year Old MacBook Pro runs smooth. I think Yosemite is very sensitive upgrade that doesn't play nice sitting on top LION ->Moutain Lion->Snow Leopard->Mavericks installs.
Very easy to do, numerous articles on the web. Highly reccomend.

I recommend that you start with Snow Leopard (10.6.8), still the most efficient OSX from Apple. There may be compatibility issues with some of your applications. Here are instructions:

I use two backups, Time machine and Carbon Copy Cloner. Time machine is probably the easier to work with and here are some links to assist you:

I have a message on my Ipad that my IOS has crashed due to a 3rd party. It gives a number to call for support. It has locked up my Safari. What can I do to get rid of it?

I have a message on my Ipad that states my IOS has crashed due to a 3rd party. It refers to my tablet as a phone (sorry, don't have an Iphone. It gives a number to call for support but I know it's a scam. Is there a solution to get rid of it as it has locked up my Safari.

1. Reset the iPad
   Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on your iPad,
   simultaneously press and hold down the “Home” button” until the screen turns off.
   Turn it back on.
2. Clear information from your device
   iOS 7
   Tap Settings > Safari > Clear History > Clear Cookies and Data.

Waiting for my MBP C2D, need 3rd party software advise.

New to Macs, what universal binary softwares available for these new intel macs? Does anyone know when apple will have the special promo again for the Microsoft Office? I remember apple had a 50% discount awhile back.

Daidee,
This is one question for which you really need to supply more information. What kind of applications will you be using?
Regardless of what you will be doing, have a look here. This will give you a good idea of what is currently available. Keep in mind that most older, PPC applications will run fine in Rosetta.

My MBP shut off after plugging in 3rd party USB and won't start up again

After I plugged in my phone to my MBP with a 3rd party USB cable it shut off and it never turned back on. I read online to wait it out and let the battery die and then plug the MagSafe charger back in. I waited about 24 hours and it still won't turn on. Should I remove the battery and re-insert it?

Try resetting SMC first:

Have you had battery issues recently?
"Should I remove the battery and re-insert it?"
If the SMC reset doesn't help then that's the way that the SMC was reset when you could remove the battery. We've had luck unplugging power adapter and the battery, pressing the power key and replugging the battery after a few minutes.
Late 2011 Macbook Pro refuses to boot. SMC reset doesn't work
"Thanks for your help. Disconnecting the battery and leaving it disconnected for minutes rather than seconds did the trick. I was able to then reset the SMC and it's fine now. Ordered a new internal battery as the one in use is 3 years old now. Maybe that will help."

Email account and Internet service not working after migration onto a new (upgraded 3rd party) 2012 MBP. Hardware or software issue.

I just purchased a refurb Mac Book Pro from the Apple on-line store. When I received the machine (serial number) I purchased 3rd party (OWC) parts. All of these were installed by the authorized, local Apple repair store I have had excellant results with past issues with my 2006 MBP. The parts installed are: 16 meg ram, 240 SSD and a 1 T installed replacing the optical drive.
Feeling ready now, I had the Apple store do the migration from my 2006 MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8) over to the 2012.
When trying to get the new machine into the production flow, I cannot get email to work. It will launch but I cannot access accounts.
During the One to One, then moved over to the Genius Bar appointment, they reentered the account(s) data. Nothing.
Also at this time they noticed that the Internet connection was not working.
A new internet account was set up and it worked. They (Genius) launched email and the Internet connection crashed. This was repeated about 5 times.
The computer was left with Apple to reinstall the OS (10.8) - their best suggestion as a fix and I have now had a call to say that the install did not correct the problem. Now they are questioning the install of the 3rd party parts as the possible problem.
I'm to go back into the Apple store to discuss the next steps.
I would really, really appreciate anyones thoughts / suggestions on this problem. Is it software or hardware? Should I re-install the original ram and 500 m hard drive to start over with the migration? I'll be honest here and state - I'm not a technician in computers or this side of technology. That is why I have reliable parties do the install and trouble shoot. Not a comfortable feeling being at their mercy.
Advanced thanks to all who believe they have answers.

Back from the Apple store with my 2012 MacBook Pro.
After one re-install of the OS - no better - a clean install was performed - purging all of the data that they had migrated over from my 2006 MBP last week.
The belief is, that the migrated data from my 2006 MBP was too great of a leap for the new 10.8. My (a lot) software was too dated and there in was a "blip" of some sort in some / one of the programs.
So - all of the OWC parts and pieces that I had installed are not the issue - as they all show up on the About this Mac - and other things are functional. Yeah.
I now have my 2012 back (with upgrades) in the original form (OS and programs) and I will start a one by one migration of programs that I do need and use. Being cautious not to make one large transfer.... weeding out programs that will no longer be needed or will work on the OS 10.8. I will manually set up the email accounts one by one.
Fingers crossed.

Every single 3rd party App crashes

Hello,
I'm running a 8gb EDGE 2.0.1 iphone. Every single 3rd party app crashes all of a sudden. I tried restore. all native apple apps load, but even when I just synce 1 3rd party app to the iphone (so all native iphone apps and 1 3rd party) that always crashes to iphone home screen.
I need to fix this because I need to use 3rd party apps like zenbe (which was working perfectly for me a week ago)

ok i had this same problem i called apple the guy i got new exactly what was happening and game me a work around. follow these steps exactly. this is a mac work around only dont know about windows.
1 make sure your phone is not connected to your computer.
2 delete every app directly from iphone by holding a app and then clicking the x
3 go to settings general reset and choose reset all settings
4 now on your computer open itunes on the menu bar go to store and deauthorize your computer
5 quit itunes
6 reopen itunes and reauthorize the computer then exit itunes
7 open isync go to preferences and select reset sync history and exit isync
8 open itunes and connect your iphone. it may freeze itunes for 2-10 minutes but dont exit just
wait it will eventually recognize your iphone.
9 after itunes recognizes your iphone go to the music tab and select a small playlist to sync then got to the app tab and choose sync selected apps and if anything is selected deselect them.
10 if you have remote app select it if not download it for free and select it
11 then select two other apps and click apply
12 it will start to sync. it will say removing apps let it do this. depending on how many apps you have it could take a long time (mine took more than an hour)
13 if you get error 0xE800002E after you are done just repeat steps 1-8 it wont take long this time
14 if you dont get the error check to see if your remote works if it does check the other apps if they dont work repeat steps 1-8 if they do you are done just restart the iphone to make sure the still work
15 if you got the 0xE800002E error and have repeated 1-8 sync remote and two other apps and it should work if it does not try again it worked for me the first time though.
it is a long process but be patient and all will work out.
that is it until apple fixes this stupid issue which should never have gotten passed testing.
hope this helps
if u need help or inform me of how it went u can email me at [email protected]

Crashes with 3rd party plugins

I am loving the functionality of MS, but these crashes are getting really embarrassing, especially amongst my PC loving band members. I have the new unibody MBP with 4gb ram. Everything is great and solid while performing. I never get any clicks or pops while playing. All of my crashes occur when changing patches within a concert. It does seem to be more directly related to the patches containing 3rd party plugins, such as Kontakt 3, or Kore 2. It also seems to be only the sample based patches.

Ok, so it looks like there are problems with the new MBP's running more than 3GB's of ram. If I pull out my 2x2gig sticks and put in the original 2x1gig sticks, it runs fine and never crashes. I bought the ram from OWC. I will be sending it back, but in the meantime I am not sure that I trust their ram. It is made (or distributed) by Nanya. I don't know if the problem is with the ram, or if it is a problem with NI product running in Mainstage, or if it is a problem with the new MBP running 4gigs of ram. We shall see.

Updated Carrier Settings - All 3rd party apps now crash on startup.

Updated the new Carrier Settings today. Now all 3rd party apps on the iPhone crash on startup. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Rebooted several times
Running 3.1 (7C144)
Thanks!

Just wanted to post in the event someone else had the same issue. I did a restore and reset. All third party apps went away (poof).
I had to manually re-install my apps from the app-store. Thank goodness iTunes tracks your previous purchases.

Can't open any 3rd party apps - they crash on startup

I've been an iPhone owner since the first model (I have iPhone 4 now), and I've never seen anything like this.
Last night my iPhone ran out of charge. This morning, when I plugged it in it had to charge for a few minutes before it would turn on. Once it turned on, it said "waiting for activation: this may take a while". I thought this was strange, because my phone is already activated. I'm in an area with no reception, though, so maybe that was the issue.
Once the phone turned on, I tried to open some of my apps. But none of the 3rd party apps would open! When I tap them they appear to open but they shut down / crash right away. Strangely, however, all of the Apple apps that come with the phone will open without a problem (Maps, Mail, Safari, iCal, etc.).
I tried a hard reset but that didn't help. I'm away from home so I can't do an erase and store, and I really need access to some of the data in those apps.
Any ideas?

I did the same this week. I did a sync and now I can't access any of my apps. They appear to open then shut right back down. Have tried to resync, update and about anything else that may fix and nothing. Paying an aweful lot of money just for texting and phone usage. Anyone know how to take care of this issue? I have a 3G phone and been using it for a year without this problem

Can't clean install Yosemite to 3rd party SSD in 2008 MBP

Hi all.
I'm a longtime lurker, first time poster. I seem to have really stymied myself with trying to upgrade my ol' reliable MBP.
My machine:
Late 2008 15" MacBook Pro
2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM (3rd party Crucial, 2 matching 2GB sticks - it originally shipped with 2 1GB sticks, I upgraded it around 2 years ago)
120GB SSD (3rd party OCZ Agility III, it originally shipped with a 500GB Hitachi HDD - I've just installed this and am trying to use it)
No optical drive (it broke years ago)
Here is what I've done so far:
Removed the 500GB HDD and inserted the 120GB SSD
Created a bootable USB stick with the Yosemite installer on it
Booted from said USB stick and used Disk Utility to format the SSD with a GUID partition table, with 1 HFS+ (Journaled) formatted partition
Begun the Yosemite installer
The progress bar crawled for about 3 hours until it got about halfway, then it failed out with an error. Unfortunately I stupidly don't have a copy of the error logs
Booted from the USB stick again
Now the SSD does not show up at all in Disk Utility and I am not given the option of it when attempting to install Yosemite - so I can't reformat the drive or attempt another install
I have tried to run the Apple Hardware Test (to see if there are any problems with the RAM that might have triggered the error installing Yosemite), but unfortunately this does not seem possible on my machine. Since it is a late 2008 model with no optical drive, from the research I've done there seems to be no way I can run it. It can't do an Internet Hardware Test, and the 'trick' of holding F2 during bootup won't work because apparently you need to have the original shipping OS installed. From memory this machine shipped with Leopard - the OS on my old 500GB HDD is Snow Leopard however.
Does anyone have any ideas for what I can do next here? My goal is simply to do a clean install of Yosemite onto my SSD. I'm at a bit of a loss, especially since the SSD isn't even showing up in Disk Utility now.
An additional detail: There isn't anything in the slot where the optical drive should be. 2 years ago I opened my machine and removed it, replacing it with a 2.5" 'optibay' drive caddy. Unfortunately it was a pretty cheap caddy and it never functioned properly, so I removed it before beginning the above process. There is just an empty space now inside the machine, since I threw away my old broken optical drive years ago. I don't know if this may also be causing problems.
Many thanks for any and all assistance!

Thanks for responding Leopardus.
I tried holding Cmd+R at startup last night, but unfortunately all I got is a flashing folder with a question mark on it, presumably indicating that it can't find any files.
Internet Recovery is unfortunately not possible on my computer, I believe this feature was only included with Macs that shipped with Lion or later versions of OS X (mine shipped with Leopard).
The problem in the thread that you linked seems a bit different to mine - I think the core issue for me is that the SSD is now not recognised at all by Disk Utility, meaning I cannot even format it to try installing again.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can access this 'invisible' SSD? I am considering buying a USB to SATA cable and connecting it to a friend's Mac.

All 3rd party apps Crash - Already Restored FIVE Times to date - Apple fix?

Since the 2.0 update my apps have had constant crashing issues. Usually after opening 8 or so apps in a row (very easy to do when downloading and testing many apps) ... Powering down and powering back up usually helped/fixed the issue, if temporarily.
Now, since 2.0.1 I've had times when one app will crash to the home screen, and from that point on ALL 3rd party apps immediately crash. Powering down the iPod, and powering back up does not fix the problem. Resetting the ipod (Sleep and Home buttons held) does not help either. I've also tried just Syncing the ipod, but this, alas, does nothing to help.
When it's come to this in the past I've had to do a complete iPod restore, which if it weren't just for the time taken restoring, the time taken re-arranging the icons/screens puts the process into the realm of a major pain. But having a way to assign apps to a particular screen on the ipod/iphone within iTunes is a topic for another thread.
Is there a way around this (crashing issue) that I'm just not seeing?
I'm tired of being and eff-ing guinea pig; this is not why I'm an apple user, this is one of the reasons I make fun of Windows people and get them to switch TO apple.

Well, now it's official, thanks to 3rd party apps and/or faulty system software my iPod is Dead.
When I created this thread I was having all 3rd party apps crash constantly, and instantly upon launch. The myriad of methods used to recover it to working order failed. I decided to do a Restore and use the last successful backup. It got to about the 95% mark on the restore and hung for 2 hours. The exact same place for 2 hours.
Not having the ability or patience to wait for my iPod to get done tying up my computer, I reset it. Now, all I've got is a $299.99 Paperweight that constantly displays a nice and shiny apple logo on it's screen.
An attempt to restore it to factory settings only gave me an error dialogue box:
The iPod "Kuhnaydeein's iPod" could not be restored.
An unknown error occurred (0xE8000035).
Now what am I supposed to do? I don't live near an Apple Store, the only place that sells apple merch is the store where I work, in the department I work. I know our policy on taking back/exchanging iPods.
What I've failed to mention is how I'm EVER going to sell one of these to someone if there's a chance they'll just be getting the same FAULTY Hardware/Software I'm now stuck with? Is Apple going to come to the rescue, read this post and replace my iPod? I sincerely hope they read this, because they don't give the slightest hint at any Direct Email addresses on the Apple.com website. (What's with that anyway?)
So what do I do now? RESTORING IS NOT AN OPTION.

2.0.1 causes 3rd party apps to crash

I updated to 2.0.1 on my iPhone via iTunes and now all 3rd party apps crash at launch.

Possible fix for 3rd party apps crashing after 3.0

If some or most of your 3rd party apps crash when launching them after upgrading to 3.0, I have a fix that cured my problem. Another symptom is that you can delete the App, then reinstall and it works until syncing with iTunes.
Well my cure was to download any app, even a free one via iTunes, then sync with the iPhone. All was cured. I usually just download Apps straight from the iPhone, but the iTunes route worked.

AU Manager Crashes, Standard 3rd party plug-ins not working

I recently had a huge crash, down to the point where I eventually replaced my system drive with a brand new one, and started fresh.
After rebuilding my entire world, plug-ins that used to work, don't anymore - and they're standards that everyone uses (Kontakt 2.1, etc). I can't even get the AU Manager to load.....Logic just sits there forever with "the beach ball of death" untill I force quit.
Nothing "new" has been introduced. I've simply replicated the system I had before down to the T.
Any thougts?
I'm on 7.1.1 in 10.4.4
G5 2x2, LAP 7.1.1, 10.4.2, 4.5 gigs

Try removing all 3rd party plugins and see if Logic works by itself.
Add the plugins back to the components folder one by one, testing to see if they behave.
Sorry to hear about your crash, I have had this happen to me and it was a week of pain.
It really made me wish all plug ins were authorized on dongles, so that something like carbon copy cloner would have saved the day.

One solution for Safari 3.2 crashing if you don't have any 3rd party apps

So Safari 3.2 was crashing like crazy for me and i tried everything suggested on these forums without success. I never had any 3rd party "hacks" installed like PithHelmet that are known to cause the issue. I remembered i had a proxy server setup to access journals from my school library at home a while back. Tried disabling that and now safari 3.2 has been running without crashing for 2 days.
Just putting it out there for those of you still having crashing issues. I'm sure it's not the cure-all, but maybe some of you still have a proxy enabled. I hope apple fixes this particular issue eventually, because i need to use the proxy.
Message was edited by: zig_k

I guess that is the other side of the analysis. I am similarly not really aware of the way that the proxy works -- I guess it confirms data and settings -- and with the PAC file, these are changed from time to time. I guess, if it is working in FF and not Safari, you might try a few things like turning off then on the proxy settings; creating another Location; resetting Safari (keep that one for later); trashing the relevant preference files; asking your sysadmin; and sending feedback to Apple, with the PAC file location.
