Why has my 2008 MacBook Pro suddenly started deleting my bookmark settings when I open Safari?

Why have my bookmark settings been deleted and why, when I try to re-enter them, are they no longer saved?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

    I just bought a new macbook pro and my CS6 migrated, but now when I open existing documents, it launches a free trial version. There doesn't appear to be a way to enter my serial number or communicate that I simply have a new computer. HELP! There is no customer support for this. I can't believe what a poor service company Adobe is!!

    The problem was that you migrated CS6. Unfortunately, migration doesn't work because it doesn't move all the files.
    First, you'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove the components that were installed:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Second, you should install a clean copy of CS6. Here is a link:

  • Hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    Try to edit the size of the page using the sides of the page, or if you are desperate, force quit using command-Q. In full screen put your cursor on the top of the page, and the menu bar will appear. If it doesn't keep "pushing" it up until it does. Hope this helps!

  • Early 2008 MacBook pro only starts when tilted at an angle, also when pushed down on a certain spot?

    Hello all,
    I have a issue with my macbook pro.
    It only starts if you tilt it at a certain angle.
    I have had it work and boot up normally before of I find the right angle and put a book under it.
    If its not at an angle it does not boot, I can hear the Fans and th HDD start up and when it's st an angle,
    Or I press it st that spot, the sleep light comes on, the DVD drive starts up and everything is fine. When I let go, it shuts off. Only, if I am
    Lucky it will stay on.
    Specs

    2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo
    4GB RAM

    Will have to crack'er open and take a peek inside, if you dare.
    Either an internal connector is loose, a wire is broken or ... ... the logic board is cracked.

  • Why is my 2008 macbook pro so slow?

    What is the best thing to do for a 2008 macbook pro that seems to run slower as it gets older? Should I take it to the apple store or is it something I can possibly fix myself?
    Thank you very much~!

  • MacBook Pro suddenly started running really slowly.

    I have a:
    MacBook Pro 13", mid 2012
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Macintosh HD
    OS X Version 10.9.4
    2 days ago I had about 10 tabs on Chrome, a few word documents and about 5 large PDFs open when suddenly my computer got really slow (I've had similar amounts open before and it's never been an issue).  I shut everything down and restarted but it has been slow ever since.
    I'm not great with computers but from reading online forums I booted into safe mode and ran Disk Repair and Repaired Permissions but doesn't seem to have done much.  I also downloaded and installed OS X Mavericks (which took a full day) but has made little difference.  It seems slightly faster than went it first started but not sure if it is.
    As I say, I'm not great with computers so any help would be good.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe modeand log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    I've already restarted multiple times.  I've reset PRAM.  I've reset SMD.  I've restarted in safe mode.  I've attached the etre report below.

  • MacBook Pro suddenly started freezing up. Help :)

    Problem description:
    Two days ago, out of nowhere my MacBook Pro started running super slow and lagging after about every other mouse click, or after typing and hitting backspace.
    I haven’t installed anything recently.
    I noticed it seemed to be running warmer than normal, I assume because processor was working overtime.
    No unusual noise. I could hear the fan running if I listened closely to the ‘hinge’ area where the vents are.
    No error messages.
    I have reset the PRAM and the SMC
    I have also used Disk Utility to verify and correct permissions. No change. still lagging.

  • My MacBook Pro suddenly started freezing. Getting error code -5010D. Any ideas?

    Yesterday I noticed my MacBook Pro started freezing up for a few seconds when doing easy tasks, like typing a FB message or browsing. It doesn't seem to be related to anything I'm actually doing, which makes me think it's a hardware problem. I can restart my computer and nothing changes, I can restart in safe mode and same thing, I have run disk utility and it came up with no errors. As the day went on the problem got worse, I started backing up my files to a thumb drive and it was takin forever! I was moving about 45GBs and it was going to take 6 - 8 hours. I was just going to leave it transferring over night but when I set my computer down it apparently got unplugged. No big deal, except now the same 45GBs says it is going to take 14 days. My computer is on it's way out fast!  I transferred just the important stuff and ran the hardware test on restart (cmd + r). It shoots back the error code 5010D. I don't know what this is for and can't seem to find anything helpful online. I am currently reinstalling Mavericks after a hard drive wipe, but it's been running for over three hours and it's not even close to being done. I don't think it is a software problem because even after a full format, it's still running slow. I just want to know what piece of hardware I need to replace. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A little Googling seems to indicate a hard drive problem, which sounds right given the symptoms you're seeing. Make sure you've gotten a good backup of everything. The good news is hard drives are cheap and easy to install. You can look up the procedure for your machine at ifixit.com.

  • My MacBook Pro suddenly started running slow

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro started running extremely slow a couple of days ago. I tried to search for help and found this forum where people had the same problem. I see that people are advised to check with etrecheck software and post it here to have further instructions. So I did mine and below are my results. I have opened the back of my laptop, cleaned up everything including the dirty fan and reseated the hard drive (which I had problem with loose cable in the past). It seems to fix the slow problem at the moment but the problem keeps appearing once in a while. So I hope someone could help me out. Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi dippypants and dominic23,
    Thanks for your help. I followed dippypants' advice and checked the Activity Monitor. Most of the processess that occupy my CPU and memory are Safari and Safari Web Content. Sometimes when these go down to low, I still have the same problem with computer running super slow.
    I then followed dominic23's advice to look for MacKeeper not only in Applications but my whole laptop but I could not find it any where. Yet it still shows when I do the etrecheck. Do you guys think I might have some malware problem?
    Thanks! Any help is much appreciated.
    Below is the latest check using etrecheck software.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • HT204350 Why won't my MacBook Pro recognize the connected USB external drive when trying to 'Transfer Information to this Mac'?

    I recently bought a second-hand MacBook Pro (mid-2010, i7, I'll call this New Mac).  I want to transfer my accounts and data from the first MacBook Pro (mid-2010, i5, I'll call this Old Mac).  I took a Time Machine Backup of the Old Mac, using an external USB drive.  After erasing the drive and installing Maverick on the New Mac, I attached the USB drive to the New Mac and began the setup. 
    At the step "Transfer Information to this Mac", the Mac just gives me a nice spinning icon next to "Looking for source...".  Apparently it cannot find the USB drive.
    How do I fix this?  I don't want to setup a new user on the New Mac, I want to migrate my old users from the Old Mac.

    See if you can inherit the backup.
    Inherit a Backup
    Inherit a Backup (2)
    Another option would be to clone your old Mac and copy the clone. That would leave your old Mac with a backup and you can start a new one with the new Mac.
    Clone  - Carbon Copy Cloner          (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)
    Clone – Data Backup
    Clone – Deja Vu
    Clone  - SuperDuper
    Clone - Synk
