Why is my 2010 macbook pro freezing and shutting down every time I start it?

Today, after using my macbook pro to upload pictures from my iphone, my computer started having problems and shutting down. The screen goes gray and a box pops up saying that a problem exists and that I need to restart my computer. I've only had the macbook since last November, so I don't understand why I've been having so many problems with it. This happened a few times to a lesser extent in Senegal when I was there for 5 months. I used a mac power adapter so I don't think it could be an over-charge problem.
Please help!

Sounds like your iphone is causing kernal panics.
Unplug everything. Keyboards, mice, external hard drives, the lot.
One of these devices could be causing it.
Then, grab your Install DVD, and boot while holding the C button.
Select your language.
Go to Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Disk + Repair Permissions
Then restart, and every once in a while, add one of the keyboards/mice/iphones/hdd's one by one to see if they are causing issues & therefore identifying the culprit.

  • 2012 MacBook Pro freezing and shutting down randomly

    I have a 2012 MacBook Pro (15.4" 2.6ghz i7 model) and I'm having some serious issues with the laptop freezing up completely and also randomly restarting. The freezes are hard freezes as well, not simple hangs, they require me to hold the power button down to restart Occasionally when it shuts itself down and attempts to restart it will give me the dreaded "3 beeps" indicating a hardware problem. Strangely, if I hold the power button down so that it shuts itself off entirely and let it sit for a minute it will always restart fine afterwards.
    I have swapped out the RAM for new modules and the problem has persisted. It happens at various times as well, sometime in the middle of the night while its asleep, other times while I'm actively using it, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to when it happens. Likewise they occur regardless of any externals in use as well (I have a 23" external monitor that occasionally use via a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter as well as some USB 3 & 2 external HD's, USB 2.0 hub and a Firewire audio interface. The freezes seem to happen even if I'm using the laptop by itself without any peripherals plugged in.
    To make my situation more complicated, I upgraded many of the componants of the laptop upon purchasing it, so I can't really be sure if I have a faulty HD since my only experience with it has been in it's current upgraded state. I have a 256GB SSD as my boot drive and I replaced my optical drive with a data doubler with a 750GB WD HD.
    It is not currently under warrenty nor do I have Apple Care so I'd like to do as much legwork as I can to narrow down my issue- I have seen other threads where people have had thier logic boards replaced and the issues persisted- I don't quite have the $$ to spend on that sort of repair unless it truly is the root of my problems.
    What can I do to further troubleshoot my setup? The freezes don't happen regularly but they are often enough to be a problem. I am also a musician and use my laptop for live performances so I need to make sure this doesn't happen during a show!
    Thanks in advance for any assistance

I try and export it and it wont prepare the project beyond 16 minutes and shuts down every time. I have tried exporting it to movies idvd itunes,and quicktime in a variety of sizes although not the smallest as I want to watch it on my computer and tv. All videos were recorded on an iphone. Apple store couldn't help me and suggested I redo part of the project. It is a really good project and would take hours to redo it . I just want to export it. Can any one please help???

  • Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Anyone else with this problem?

    Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Site usually flicks off in under a minute. Anyone else with this problem?

    The website may need more memory than you have available if you are running iOS 5.1.1 on the original iPad. Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Maybe quitting all apps might be the best thing to try.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit ALL apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Recent freezing and shutting down every down 10-15 minutes and hard to log in to internet very slow

    My son has 2009 Macbook white version and recently (last week or so) freezing all the time, cannot log on to internet, and shuts down every 10-15 minutes. Is there a download (free hopefully to clean it up for any spyware or maleware). He is a student and very busy in University and cannot be without the computer?

    He will need something to back up onto like an external hard drive. The disks are necessary if the hard drive needs to be repaired, you can't repair the boot volume so you need to start up from an install disc and run Disk Utility from there. When you talk to him have him resettle SMC and pram, sometimes unexpected shutdowns can be corrected that way. The freezing is another issue, I'm concerned with the health of his hard drive. Another thing to ask when you talk to him is how much total space and how much free space does his hard drive have?

  • Mid-2010 MacBook Pro: freezing and spinning wheel

    Hi there,
    I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro (I know, old) that's been in very good condition. I upgraded my OS to Mavericks in May, which is when it started being slow and crashing/freezing around twice a week. For example, just doing normal things like surfing the web or checking the Airport or battery life will suddenly freeze the cursor which will then turn into the spinning wheel of death. Sometimes I can wait it out if it's a few minutes but sometimes I have to manually turn off the computer and then turn it back on when it's been hours of no change or improvement. I know it's probably best to downgrade back to Snow Leopard but I'd really like to keep my OS. Are there other things I can do to optimize my Mac? I've tried keeping fewer files on the desktop and emptying out the trash often and it seemed to help for a while. Other suggestions?
    Thanks for reading!

    Wow, that post looks like a mess...I will try to make it more readable.
    Thanks for your reply. I had to wait a few days for the problem to crop up again. I followed your instructions to the best of my ability. The thing is that the problem (i.e. freezing and spinning wheel) happened at 8:19 and the closest messages in the Console were are time stamped 8:17 and 8:25. So I will put them here for you to look at if you don't mind:

  • MacBook Pro freezes or shut down automatically in sleep mode

    Hi there,
    since awhile I'm troubled with a strange problem: Every now and then my MacBook Pro freezes randomly.
    The only way to recover is to use the power button. There is no causality with programs I used or with
    external devices. I don't use SOPHOS by the way.
    The second strange thing is that my MacBookPro also automatically shuts down (after a while) when I use the screensaver
    or the sleep mode. Any Idea?
    Kind Regards,

    Try a Safe Mode boot ...
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    A Safe Mode boot deletes some system caches that may help.

  • Mid 2010 macbook pro freezes and restarts when moved.

    My macbook pro crashes daily and sometimes I have to keep turning it on for about 5 minutes because it doesn't start up it just beeps. once it starts up it tends to crash when moved even slightly. I have the crash reports and I'm hoping someone can help me. This problem started to occur once I upgraded to mountain lion and I dont know if the problem has to do something with mountain lion or if it's just coincidence. I searched around on the web and think that maybe it is my logic board. Thank you in advance.

  • Desktop manager errors and shuts down every time I try to sync my Outlook...Help!

    Anyone having a similar issue..installed, removed and reinstalled Desktop Manager and everytime I attempt to sync with Outlook it states that Desktop Manager has encountered an error and needs to close. I haven't been able to sync at all. It's my first BB, go easy on me. I would appreciate any assistance!

    Well reading some other discussions i have found to try deauthirizing and reauthorizing, that didn't work. I guess i could remove iTunes and reinstall, but i hate to do that. Maybe I should take all the music off and sync and then try putting  it back on? Worked before i put music on there, but then there wasn't much to sync at that time. Anyone know of other possible causes that would make iTunes stop working?

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

  • Why is my 15'' macbook pro Early 2011 slowing down in performance often?

    Why is my 15'' macbook pro Early 2011 slowing down in performance often? It's barely got anything in it and it lags alot of times. This is supposedly running on quad-core i7 2.2 yet I have to restart at times to make sure it gets better. Why is that so?
    I turn on activity monitor and there aren't even anything taking up power or memory. It just lags out of the blue.

    Activity Monitor may still offer a clue. By default, it shows only "My Processes," those related to your user account. To see the real picture, you need to set AM to show "All Processes" as in this view:
    Click the header "%CPU" to sort by usage. Most true resource hogs are only apparent in this view.
