Why my new macbook freezes?

It's exactly the 5th times that my new macbook freezes! I don't understand why! The screen remains like a screenshot, it's all blocked! And I can't do anything eccept force shoutdown by holding pressed the shutdown button!
I don't understand if it's an hardware or software problem. I copied the system.log of the last freeze, so I paste it here, hoping you'll help me

Does anyone maybe know why the new Macbook pros don't have iWeb and how i can install it. My Macbook already came with the iLife thing, but it seems to only have iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. is there any way that i can install iWeb?

Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.

New MacBook freezing

Hello!
I have the previous MacBook, not the "new" new MacBook. It is about 3 weeks old.
It is always BURNING hot, and often, every few hours, it will freeze. I play games on it mostly, and after a while graphics get choppy and it eventually will just seem to turn off.
I took it to an apple store, had the latest updates installed (they were already installed), and said they cannot do anything unless they send it away, possibly for over a week!
I don't understand.. why can't they exchange a new MacBook? I've never heard of any support like this.
Please understand, this is my first apple computer.. I am very sad.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Is this normal?
sad

I am actually on my third macbook for this reason. The first one was used for 2 weeks , started freezing then locked up. Tried to drop it off at the Apple store , they said they couldn't help me until i had to explain to them over and over that the computer was only 2 weeks old. They let me do a quick drop and called me 2 hours later and told me to pick up a new macbook because the old drives weren't aligning or something like that. Ok awesome they replaced my computer . Well, 3 weeks later computer freezes up again, tried to do a hard restart and a folder icon pops up with a question mark. Here we go with some applecare action, went back and fourth with whoever, did everything they wanted me to do with taking the battery out draining it. They even said a product specialist is going to call me back. Never did. Finally they told me to reinstall the OS. Went home tried this , hmmmm no destination for me to install it in. Wonderful. Ok now im over it. I drive 40 mins to the apple store just for them to tell me about an appointment that i have should have made. I told them that the manager let me do a quick drop last time, well i guess i was lying or something, they weren't going help me. OK so i ask what i could do to get helped out, well i guess it took $99 and some stupid card that says Pro Care. So now i am paying them to even talk to me. Well the drive was bad I guess, but i never got a call for them, i had to repeatedly call back and after 3 days they said i had to wait for another drive from apple. Seriously over it now, second brand new laptop that i can't use. So i picked up the new drived macbook after them having it for 5 days, no problems yet but i can't wait for it to freeze again so i can whip out that $99 piece of plastic to get some help.

New Macbook freezing and shutting down..

Just got macbook in late Feb. in the past few days I turn on the computer and after a few minutes the screen freezes, scrambles and the macbook shuts down. Then it begins beeping and the power light flashes and I can't turn on the macbook. I have to remove the battery to stop the beeping and so i can turn it on. When i replace the battery and turn it back on sometimes it works, sometimes it freezes up again...Anyone else have this problem or can give me an idea as to what is wrong????
I am currently living in Jamaica so if i want to see if I can fix the problem first before I buy a plane ticket to bring it to get fixed with an authorized repair person in the states.

Have you upgraded anything in your new MacBook? RAM? Hard drive? If so, try replacing the new parts with the old ones and see if that makes a difference. If not, it really sounds like your MB needs some help from Apple. You shouldn't need to buy a plane ticket, though. Simply call Apple tech support (you're still under warranty, after all) and ask for them for suggestions and/or to send you a box for you to send them the machine for repairs. I had very good luck doing that when I had problems with my old iBook.
Good luck to you!

Brand New Macbook Freezing / Faulty Adapter

Hopefully someone out there can help me..
I was given my Macbook Pro as a gift from the parents back in October last year. I remember it freezing on the first or second day of having it, but anyway.. since then it has been fine, until now!
About a month ago, I had my Macbook on the bed & I actually dropped it onto the floor [it worked fine] however, the magsafe charger has been faulty since. I have to wiggle it about to get the light to stay green/orange & sometimes it flickers faintly & the icon switches from charging to just normal on screen. Can someone tell me if I can get a new charger from the Apple store? I have the standard 1yr Warranty.
The other problem, which ONLY occurred this last 2 weeks is that my Macbook will just freeze. No wheel, it will just show the cursor where I last had it & NOTHING will work. I have to hold down the power until it switches off. I send a report to Apple [whatever this means] and sometimes it'll just freeze again a few minutes after. It has even froze on the actual loading up screen [with the white apple/loading icon]. Most of the time my Macbook freezes, I don't even have ANYTHING open.. which I'm guessing is bad news! I used to play my Sims 3 game smoothly before, however, now it also freezes a couple of minutes into it - so I've given that up!
I keep sending these reports & when I restart my Mac, about 5 minutes of using it [IF I'm lucky not to have the thing freeze on me] I'll get the ''You need to restart your computer'' message - and this also, just freezes up my screen. I was sending an e-mail earlier & half way through writing it, it happened & I lost everything! There is NO overheating/unusual noises.. the only time my mac heats up is when I'm using Final Cut / Sims, but even then it doesn't heat up more than usual..
I'm getting annoyed now because I have 2 x 3500 word essays to write & it is very annoying having to autosave every 2 minutes! Help!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your Mac should never freeze. There could be any number of causes, and the drop could be a factor. Unfortunately, the 1 year warranty does not cover accidental damage, although you may have homeowner's or renter's that does.
Since the freezing was present before the drop, it could be hardware or software related. A good place to start might be with the Apple Hardware Test, which is located on one of the gray system discs that originally came with the computer. Run the extended version if you can.
If the AHT runs to completion, see if it gives you any error codes that would indicate a hardware problem. If you get any, call Apple and tell them. Error codes indicate a hardware problem which Apple hopefully will be able to fix under your 1 year warranty.
If you cannot even run the AHT because your Mac freezes, then that in itself indicates some sort of a hardware problem, and again, you will need to call Apple about it and see if you can arrange for repair.
It's possible that the freezing and the kernel panic message you received may relate to your RAM not being well seated, so you might want to try reseating it. Instructions will be in your owners manual.
Here is a guide for troubleshooting kernel panics:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
If none of this has helped, you might want to try reinstalling the OS.
As for the MagSafe adaptor, you want to try a different one just to be sure the damage is to the adaptor and not to the port in the computer. Here is a link for troubleshooting these:

Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, it might be quickest to make an appointment at the genius bar and get them to help you with this. They have a hardware test they can run from the store feed, and they would know what to check.
Good luck!

New MacBook freezing up

Just got a new MacBook 2GHz, 80GB, 1GB and in the first couple of days it has frozen up completely about 10 times.
The only way to get back is to restart by holding the power button down.
After this the fan starts up and goes really fast until, I presume, it has cooled the MacBook down again.
On one occasion the battery stopped showing proper charge until I reset the PMU and the PRAM.
I've reinstalled the OS but it locked up when it was restarting from that install process.
Any ideas? Hardware? Software?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks -
Eliot

Hi Eliot,
I suggest you visit apple store and return your macbook if it still not pass 14 days return policy.
Tell them you already reset PRAM and SMC and reinstall the OSX with no luck.
Good Luck

Brand New Macbook Freezes On Start Up!

i had to make a new thread for this
just got my macbook last week
and now it freezes when i turn it on
it shows the first grey apple logo screen
and then goes to the second blue screen and freezes
i have tried everything in the manual to resolve this, but nothing
i know if i reinstall the OS that will probably fix it, but it's just a **** hassle
i am a new user, and this is not very promising of apple
should i reinstall or go to the apple store and demand a new one and complain like a mad man?

Hi danno2022!
If you just purchased your machine, it's still with the return policy window. Where did you purchase it from? I'd recommend taking it back to the Apple store you bought it from (if you did), have a Genius take a look at the issue, verify it and then offer a solution. That solution may involve a replacement, but it'll be there discretion (obviously).
Did you recently install anything or run any updates? Was the machine functioning fine before the update(s) only to exhibit this issue afterwards?
As for the "complain like a mad man" approach, as someone who use to work in retail... you may wish to slightly alter your plan. While you're no doubt upset and disappointed, which I don't blame you, going in to chew someone's head off when all they're trying to do is "help you" is a pretty tough scenario. I took care of everyone that I could, when I could, but it was always easier and quicker to ensure the people that were cool and level headed got resolved. Sometimes the "mad man" just cannot be appeased, despite my best efforts. Food for thought!

Why does my Macbook freeze whilst trying to install iTunes 11.1 update?

I was trying to install the new iTunes update, 11.1 and after clicking "Install and Restart" the screen changes into the initial login background (the purple/pink stars wallpaper but without the login box) and freezes there. I can still see the cursor and move it around but I can't do anything else. I had to hold down the power button to shut the computer off and then turn it back on again. I've tried twice and the same thing happened both times. Any help would be appreciated.
I've a MacBook Pro version 10.6.8 if that's at all relevant.
Thanks!

Hi olsondan,
If you are having issues installing iTunes for Windows I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Can somebody diagnose why my new MacBook Pro is so slow and laggy?

I just bought this MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.2) a month ago and it had been performing very well until last night. I tried to stream a hockey game through Chrome and the browser crashed. I didn't think it was a serious issue at first; I tried to force quit Chrome but everything just slowed down even more. Eventually I just shut it down by holding the power button, hoping that it would be fine once I started it back up.
But it wasn't fine. It took forever to boot up, and once it did, everything was slow and laggy. There is delay using the trackpad and keyboard, applications are taking ages to open and sometimes won't respond, the color wheel is popping up for minutes at a time, etc. It even seems like the internet itself is slowed down; I've tried different browsers in different locations of varying internet connections and they've all been very slow to load pages. It's like the whole machine suddenly caught the flu or something.
I tried disk utility, but it says there's no problems. The activity monitor doesn't show any significant CPU usage, and even after I cleaned the caches for Safari and Chrome, all the problems still persist. I thought it might have caught a virus or some kind of malware, but I've been told that's highly unlikely. Could it have something to do with Chrome or Flash (I was trying to update the latest Flash plug-in or something before the browser crashed)? Like I said, the machine's fairly new, so not much of the RAM is used up. Could anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

Why is my macbook freezing?

I have a macbook pro with 10.8.5. It constantly freezes, and I have to restart it constantly. For all the money that i paid for this laptop, it should never freeze.. please help. what can i do to fix this problem without having to go to the store since apple likes to mac its stores available in certain parts of a state..

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an 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
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Why does my Macbook freeze when I try to transfer my Powerbook files

Hello out there
I have been having trouble with my PB and could not retrieve any of my files... the bash shell appeared. I thought my files were gone forever.
I was able to find my HD through utility disk, great!
The problem is that I am trying to retrieve my files with a MB, but it freezes everytime I tried to move the files from PB. The spinning rainbow wheel appears?!!!
Utility Migration doesn't work either...it doesn't see my PB HD. Is the problem that the system run under two different X programs? Jaguar, Tiger?
Should I put in the utility disk in my PB ??
I can't think of any other problem.
Help please : ) My my senior thesis depends on it.
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.3)

I have the same issue. When I click on the button search image (of the web page I want to add a picture on) nothing happens. If I try to change web page or website, the picture window appears but is frozen and I cant select any pictures or even cancel the request. I then need to force quitting Safari because of it.
Help me

Can anyone tell me why my new macbook air reboots overnight?

If I leave my macbook air on overnight (so I can complete a timemachine backup) I find that when I get up in the morning my mac has rebooted!
I have checked my preferences, in the battery section, under schedule, and I do not have a scheduled reboot in there! (Do I need to check anywhere else?)
Its frustrating as all my ssh sessions I've logged into are now gone every morning. I am used to them being open for weeks on end.
Thank you for any help
Matt.

Champion thankyou!
Clicking advanced in the security and privacy showed me the option to logout after 60minutes of inactivity. Now that is unchecked. I assume this will work overnight, but we shall see
Thanks again!
Matt.

Brand New MacBook freeze during updates.

Hello everyone,
I bought a macBook about a month ago and everything was going perfectly well until the first update notification came out. Indeed, even after letting my MacBook on all the night, the updates were still on "initializing updates" the next morning.
I noticed it happens only for Mac OS X update (10.5.4). Indeed all others updates as itunes for exemple seem to work well. Anyone has an idea on how to fix it ?

Thanks for your help.
I actually found the answer on this topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7630125#7630125
Someona had the same problem than me. The file was corrupted i just had to download it manually.
Thanks again i love my macbook and my problem is solved. Cheer!
