Unable to restart, MBP freezes 9 times out of 10

My MBP freezes on start up or rebooting. I have tried zapping PRAM.Ran disc repair utility and disc is ok. The MacBook Pro Firmware update 1.0 installs but on restart the firmware fails to update as the computer freezes. Is there any solution? At my wits end. No software changes recently. Startup freezes have only been an increasing problem over the last 5 days. Now the computer is consistently freezing. Could it be Norton antivirus? Any hope?

Hi, Lauren. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your hard drive is just way too full to function properly.
Check and see if you may have one or more Previous System folders on the iBook. If so, delete them and empty the Trash, and see if that gets you some breathing room.
You need to keep at least 15% of the total capacity of the hard drive as available space for proper functioning of the drive.
Here is a link to an article which gives some pointers on freeing up space:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html
Also, the warranties on a hard drive are usually three years, so if the hard drive is the original one, it's likely running on borrowed time. Are you keeping a current backup in case that drive fails? If not, you need to be doing that.

I am unable to verify icloud password, always "times out"

I have reapeatedly been asked to Verify my icloud password for 2 days... won't accept...always times out...even on my imac (Lion OS X 10.7.5) directly @ icloud.com.. " CONNECTION ERROR: icloud encountered an error while trying to establisconnect to the server" ...password was reset, and works everywhere BUT on icloud...so I can't backup...software is up to date..no other issues..Any advice??

Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

My MBP freezes most times I quit a program and when I restart it often freezes as well

My MBP has been doing this for about two years but it has gotten worse and worse. I just finished my university degree so now have time to look into it and perhaps reinstall OS X. Does anyone believe this may help the problem or is it more likely to be related to hardware? It's driving me crazy!

The startup disk may need repairing.
From your admin account, launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, then select the FirstAid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.

Unable to restart MBP

My MBP unexpectely stopped mid-stream. Every attempt to restart gets an odd screen with lines of code. Some say 'Debugger called: <panic>
The screen says: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again."
I have done that multiple times and always come back to the same screen.
Any ideas?

I tried 4 times to start and do the Apple Hardware Test, but the MBP simply will not start. No even getting the restart screen any longer. All I get is a grey screen and bar as if it's attempting to restart in 'safe mode' ... only for it to completely shut down.
Have a feeling that HD is going or already gone. MBP was purchased 19FEB10.

Browser 'freezes' or times out. ..

... but a click will awake it.
mouse moves around ok, but screen is dead until clicked.
had this issue with chrome, and IE, so tried firefox hoping it was different.
it freezes after 10 - 30 secs even mid-typing, has done it twice since typing this message, it just stops working an 'beeps' with a key stroke.
windows 7, all up to date.
help!

As a diagnostic to see whether Flash might be to blame, could you try setting Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate")? This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
Not a solution, but might help us better understand the source of the issue.

Need help in setting connection time out in Oracle 9i

My firewall is causing problems in that it is causing me to have timeout problems when tyring to start my Oracle 9i database.
The best solution is to reset my connect_timeout taht is to be found in listener.ora. But this has been replaced by initial_retry_timeout (I think) for Oracle 9i.
initial_retry_timeout is to be found in sqlnet.ora in
C:\oracle\ora90\networkADMIN\SAMPLE
it is set to 30
#name.initial_retry_timeout = 30
There is another sqlnet.ora file in C:\oracle\ora90\network\ADMIN all these contains is:
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\ora90\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
I added the following line to this file restarted my PC but time out still took 30 secs.
I dont have much experience of databases apart from writing sql and store procedures.
So I have no idea apart from pure guess work in trying to sort thsi problem out.
Thanks for any help.
Tony
names.initial_retry_timeout = 5

You do not indicate whether you are using the Oracle Names server. The names.initial_retry_timeout tells Oracle Net how long to wait, in seconds, for a response from an Oracle Names server before it attempts the next in your preferred list. You indicated, however, that you were having a problem with your firewall. The only connection this setting has with a firewall is that the firewall may be causing the connection to the Oracle Names server to timeout. If that is your problem, then adjust the value of this parameter to increase or decrease the delay before Oracle Net attempts the next server in your preferred list. If, on the other hand, your problem is in connecting to a database, then this parameter will have no effect.
What I do not understand is how your firewall can cause problems with starting your database. Is this a software firewall running on your PC? If so, what program is it? You should be able to setup a rule in the firewall software to permit the connection.

Russ Cannon

MBP freezing under 10.5.8

Those are not actual crash reports, but messages that crash reports were logged. The actual crash reports will be found for specific processes that crashed such as the Installer or an application.
Information that you should look at would be the console log entries at the time of a crash or a kernel panic log entry if you experienced a kernel panic.
In your case you most likely updated over a system that was already defective. I suggest doing the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Hello Pllumb,
It sounds like you are unable to turn on Wi-Fi because the option is grayed out in Settings. Use these steps from the following article named:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

WHY IS MY OS X 10.10.1 FREEZING (AT TIMES.. I HAVE TO SWITCH OFF TO RESTART.

WHY IS MY OS X v 10.10.1 FREEZING AT TIMES ? I HAVE TO RESTART COMPUTER TO GET RUNNING AGAIN

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

MAC BOOK PRO 2.16 MHz Intel Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi bfunky,
Try resetting the usual suspects, PRAM, PMU, etc.
If that doesn't resolve anything maybe it's time to take it by an Apple store to have it checked out..

Why does my MBP restart itself randomly several times a day? Something about a "Panic Report".

Ok so my MacBook Pro shuts itself down and restarts at least 4 times a day. Usually this happens when im away from my computer and its been idle or sleeping or whatever it does, however just 30 minutes ago this happened while i was using it and then it wouldnt restart it just kept showing the loading "apple" logo with loading bars comntinuously spinning... I had to shut it down manually and then it took an extra long time to load before finally loading to the user login page. Now generally... upon start up after this "panic" i will recieve a"Panic report" that says something aloong the lines of...

What the HECK is happening and whats causing this???? How do i fix it?

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

After using an external HD for time machine back up, MacBook Pro unable to restart

I just bought a new MacBook Pro, before starting to transfer anything from my old MacBook Pro, I did a Time Machine backup on the new external HD (did not use the original ext. HD that I usually used to do my back ups). The back up was successful, I ejected the ext. HD, my old Mac went to sleep and I was not able to wake it up. I restarted it but each time I get a message in several languages that I must turn off and restart again. Done it but doesn't work. I tried to restart it by plugging the ext. HD but didn't work either. Tried to restart it by pressing on "shift", did see the bar trying to restore, but eventually the bar disappears and the grey spin starts then freeze, then computer goes into coma. What to do?

I am a little confused. I have an internal drive that I want to back-up to an external drive. BUT also, more importantly actually, I have an external that has total different contents than the internal and I also want to back that up. Will time machine do that?
Yes, as long as the drive is formatted properly.
In other words I want to back internal to "drive B"and I want to back up "drive A" (that has totally different contents than internal) to B drive as well. Can that be done in time machine?
While drive "A" is connected and mounted, go to +System Preferences > Time Machine > Options.+ If it's listed in the exclusion list in black, just select it, click the minus sign, then Done. It will be backed-up on the next backup, along with your internal HD.
But if it's listed in gray, you can't remove it. That means it's not formatted properly. You'll have to copy the data elsewhere temporarily, reformat, then copy it back.

My ipad2 is unable to find wireless network(s). while at home I am able to connect my MacBook and iPhone to network but am unable to connect iPad. I have restarted the device multiple times and even reset the network and all settings but still no luck

my ipad2 is unable to find wireless network(s). while at home I am able to connect my MacBook and iPhone to network but am unable to connect iPad. I have restarted the device multiple times and even reset the network and all settings but still no luck

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

The third or fourth communication, firefox freezes many times/day, have to close down and restart firefox 5.0

I've upgraded to 5.0 firefox, and it freezes many times a day-have to close firefox and restart firefox - I've written you at least three other times about this and there's not been communication or resolution to this problem. This is really unacceptable - get back to me please.

So you have other postings, and what did you say there and what did you learn. Opening up another question doesn't help us to help you, if we have to start over each time. We want to know what you have done to try to fix the problem as well.
You can click on "My Contributions" (at the top of a main forum page)
or this link -- https://support.mozilla.com/questions?filter=my-contributions
I have no way of knowing what you posted before unless you stick to the same posting.
Here are some references that are likely to help
