WOW on MBP freezes using 9600GT

I have discovered an interesting problem. I've loaded World of Warcraft for mac (latest patches) on my month old MBP 15 2.8GHz, 4GB, 500GB Ram system. The program works fine when I use the 9400 graphics adapter. The problems happen when I turn on the 9600GT graphics chip. The game will lock after a few minutes and nothing short of a hard power down works.
I've installed 10.6.3 and all other functions seem to work. Not sure if it is related but I have seen the mac's display go nuts and have a blank screen scroll down my screen again when the 9600 is engaged?
Any ideas?
Thanks

The fans should increase by themselves to compensate for the heat without having to use the fan controller. Maybe one of your thermal sensors is not working right. Run your hardware tester once and see if it comes up with anything.

MBP freezes up when Firefox and Itunes in use

My MBP freezes for up to 30 seconds while both firefox 3.5.2 and itunes are open. They both have the newest updates. While freezing the CPU usage doesn't get anywhere near 100%. I have repaired my permissions and made sure that no other applications are running, and yet it continues to freeze. If music is playing before the freeze it stops until the freeze ends. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All of the ID material you listed is correct.
I repaired permissions successfully.
after verifying disk this is what came up:
"Verify permissions for “Macintosh HD”
Reading permissions database.
Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

SR MBP freezes intermittently.

Hi,
My SR MBP freezes occasionally. Te only option is to hold the power button until it restarts. My wife has had to remove the battery to get it to restart - twice.
I've tried using the disk utilities and no hardware problems were reported. How do I 'repair permissions'? Is that likely to help?
Any suggestions? There does not appear to be a common cause of the crashes.
Thanks in advance.

One thing to check is the battery itself, and make sure it isn't swollen or distorted and exerting pressure on the trackpad from below. I believe the battery runs hotter when the Mac is on battery alone, and this might possibly be a factor.
Good luck!

This got so bad, that I reformatted my entire drive, reinstalled all of the Apple programs from scratch, and then only select third party ones that I always use (Microsoft Office, OmniFocus, Firefox, Evernote). That's about it. The main program that constantly stalls out, though, is Apple Mail. I have 80% of my hard drive free (240GB out of 300GB). I cannot figure it out, and it's driving me nuts. Any suggestions?

Dear Hampton, I have exactly the same problem with my MacBook Pro and it seems to be a RAM problem. I took it to the Genius Bar and sadly the truth, which the Genius bar guys were reluctant to admit, is that there are issues with the way the OS manages RAM, failing to clear Inactive memory and keep Free memory at a healthy level. If you go to the Activity Monitor and check the system memory I bet you will find that whenever you're seeing the "Exited: Killed: 9" lines one after the other as posted, you Free Memory would have been gobbled up by Inactive Memory. Extra memory would seem to be the permanent solution, sadly, and Apple charge an arm and a leg for it. Or you may have to live like I am at the moment, i.e. having the Activity Monitor permanently on the dock to keep an eye on Inactive Memory. When Inactive Memory gets too big I launch Terminal (Utilities) and type "purge." It frees up memory by clearig Inactive memory so that your machine's memory is as fresh as it is soon after you've started it. Good luck

MBP Freezing Troubles

Hello,
This I wrote a few weeks ago about my 1st generation MBP freezing with minimal applications running. Therefore, I upgraded from 1G of RAM to 2G. I've definitely noticed improvements in my Page-Ins and Page Outs. However when running minimal programs, I now notice my MBP still freezes after an 1 1/2 hour of use. The rainbow rarely shows. I repaired my permissions prior to the last freezing episode. Is there anything else I should look at?
I'm running a MBP w/ 2G of RAM 2.0GHz Core Duo, 500 GB WD Hard Drive (Installed appx. a year ago)

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
I would do a Disk Repair at least once a month. If you really want your Mac to stay in top shape, I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy.
Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand.

Please advise,

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.

I have a 160GB Hard Drive in my MBP and use VMWare Fusion and had a 60GB Virtual Machine running Windows XP. Deleted the Virtual Machine and CANNOT find the 60GB space I desperately need! Anybody out there with a similar problem? Help!

MBP 2011 using mDP to U2410 = TV?

Hi folks,
is there any solution to use display with DP native (without an ugly mDP->DVI adapter)?
The old MacBook 2009 shows crispy fonts, but my new MBP (double expensive) shows shadows like connected with a old, cheap analog VGA.
When will there be a solution for that?
BR nils

I've been using my U2410 with my 2009 MBP (MacBookPro5,3) for about a year. I've had it connected with a mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. It does get detected as a TV, but it has been working fantastically after I turned on overscan.
I've hooked up my new 2011 MBP (MacBookPro8,2) to the U2410 with the same cable and the picture looks horrible! I've tried changing the settings that I think could make a difference, but the only way to get a good image was to dig out my old DVI adapter dongle.
Both MBPs are using the same cable and are both running 10.6.8 so it's obviously something to do with the new Thunderbolt connector.
How can I get this working properly?

Issues with iMac freezing using Mail, Safari, Chrome

I'm having issues with my iMac freezing, forcing me to hard restart my computer each time. I think I've had to powered down via power button altleast a twenty times today and yesterday. I've restarted 4 times just trying to finish this post
It seemed like I was only freezing using Safari at websites like facebook and youtube.com. So I switched to Chrome, which lasted a few hours until I started freezing on that as well.
I logged on as a Guest account and they seemed to be working fine. I thought Flash may be the issue so I re-installed but no dice. I emptied cache, cleared history from each browser, etc -- no help.
Then today I started freezing just using mail. While typing a message, auto correct attempted to correct a word and my system completely locked up from that.
I have plenty of hard drive space, RAM isn't an issue either.
Here's some of my system log just before one of my recent freezes:

I uninstalled the Glims plug-in on safari, and that's seemed to cure a little bit of the problem with safari. But I'm still getting hang-ups and freezes. I'm not even noticing a pattern anymore with which apps and so forth are causing it.

Ipd 3 keeps on freezing using chrome browser same with Safari

Keep on freezing using chrome and Safari browsers

Try clearing Safari and Chrome, close both apps and then reset the device.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. In Chrome, tap the 3 horizontal line in the upper right corner. Then go to Settings>Privacy>Clear Cookies, Cache and Site Data.
Now close both apps. To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Now the reset - Reset the iDevice 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the device start up.

Please help: My MBP freezes when not connected to a power supply.

When I am working on my MBP (specs below) without it connected to the power supply, it will freeze every once in a while. I have no option but to hold down the power button to do a hard restart – and then it takes a good five minutes to boot back up.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? It NEVER freezes when it is connected to power.
BTW – the MBP freezes randomly, *sometimes the battery will be near full, sometimes only half full,* so I don't think it has to do with the amount of power left in the battery.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

A1211 - MBP freezes after a few seconds with Airport WIFI enabled

My MBP freezes after a few seconds [requires a hard reboot] when I enable my Airport card. I have tried three airport cards with the same results. Any ideas?
Occurs with 10.6.8 and 10.7.5.
Works fine with WIFI dongle.

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:

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.
