Mac Pro :: Hanging At Start Up Running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
Sep 11, 2014
My new mac pro, about 3 weeks old is not starting up. I get the chime, gray screen and Apple logo and the spinning gray wheel. That's it. Can't get past that.
Tried holding down the shift bar and got a loading bar at one attempt then just the same spinning wheel and left if for about 10 minutes but nothing.
Tried removing all peripherals as well. Still no restart
Info:
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), 30" apple monitor
my mid-2010 w/lion is running quite slow and hanging: sometimes freezing. have reset smc and emptied caches. helped for a bit but now even slower. happens with minimal load on cpu and have plenty of memory available.
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

The hanging appears to have been caused when I accidently moved about 40GB of old photo's onto my desktop. Almost immediately I tried to cancel but all that happened is that the system has hung. Processer can be heard working in the background. Being new to MAC I am pretty stumped. Have tried the obvious forced restart using the power on/off button but no luck. Is there a way I can get in and stop this process say at start up?
File Upload Page now keeps hanging up every time I want to do an attachment in Gmail. This problem only started yesterday. Was fine before that.
I have done a Virus scan with ClamX and removed x3 Phising files and also a Malware scan and removed something called 'Genieo' omnibar.safariextz These are now all in trash.
I had to upload new driver for my Fuji Printer yesterday. Also was trying to do an online form for a Credit File firm who requested and online application. It was when I was trying to upload attachments to send to them for ID Documents and also their application form that this problem started and has now continued.
New MacBook Pro. Created test user account for apple to debug a problem. Problem fixed, I tried to delete account, but it just hangs sating deleting account. Trying to quit fails saying System Preferences is busy.
I have the 20inch intel imac running leopard. Out of nowhere it started going very slow, spinning wheel every other click. Then just freezes. And now I can't start the computer again. It stops at the grey screen with the apple symbol like its loading but never does. I've tried unplugging the whole thing then again got a blinking question mark folder. I just keep getting different things. A blank white screen.
Trying to make java web start running on my 10.5.6 OS X PPC with a specific web app ( sparkom.com) .jnlp file but java seems to be unable to run, ( no caches to clean (user or system) they are empty, so jawaws didnot run at all. java -version : java version "1.5.0_16"Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-b06-284)Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_16-133, mixed mode, sharing)in the other hand, on a new disk, with a new clean install of OS X 10.5.6 ( with updates) NO problem at all. So, i need to reinstall and configure java to make it work on my current system. maybe terminal commands ?
I have an iMac intel from 2009.. the computer is used only for simple internet exploring, word documents, emails... etc. The hard drive has 140GB of free space, and I have erased the free disk space with 1 pass.The computer runs SO slow to the point where it's almost unusable. To me, it feels like a memory issue, even though the programs that are used require very minimal memory... I tried ejecting the RAM stick blowing on it and popping it back in, but no luck... It has 1GB of ram total.
Why does my computer start running loud at different times of using it? It is random and not always when it is getting hot. Is this normal or do i need to call Apple to replace my computer?
My 27" iMac, running OS 10.6.8, has started running slowly when loading Apps and when running Safari. Also, when powered, on It has started stopping on the grey screen before the Apple logo displays. To get past this I must turn the Mac off and then back on.
I have a Early 2008 Mac Pro running Lion. Its been running well but then last night it froze while I was on the internet. Pretty rare that this happens so I held the power off button and turned it off. Turned it back on and it made the chime noise, apple logo came up, a grey spinning wheel came up for about 30 seconds and then it stopped spinning and the computer froze there.
I tried a bunch of different things. I tried rebooting in safe mode, Recovery mode, From time machine external hard drive, Tried booting in the Windows partition that I have (its on the same as the boot drive I'm trying to boot in Lion off of).

The other night, my MacBook Pro's fans started running at high speed when the computer was asleep. Loud enough to wake me up. And this just kept on going until I finally decided to turn the computer off. Is this normal? Is this anything to worry about?

21inch iMac with Mavericks. Two peripherals, a hard drive for 'Time Machine' and Canon printer. All updates in place.
After a normal start up and shut down this morning I start up this evening to find, on the white screen the usual Apple logo, the rotating wheel and a new bar at the bottom. This 'loading bar' takes about ten minutes to complete then the screen goes black. Start up again - same thing.
On the third start up I hold down the 'alt' key which leads to 4 options. I choose my 'Time Machine' and after 'searching' I'm offered a list of recent backups. I choose 2 days ago accepting that I'll loose 2 days work. It takes around 2 hours to re-install but brings back the system back to 'normal'.
I make a few critical changes to spreadsheets and request 'Time Machine' to backup. It refuses. I reasoned that it was still in use and 'restarted' the iMac. "Time Machine' now responds and does a long backup.
I note there is a report that this 'bar' may be caused by a peripheral but I have not followed the suggested work around.
Okay so I have a brand new 13 inch non-retina MacBook Pro with a 2.9 GHz i7 and 4GB of RAM. I understand when I am running a game or FCPX why I would get close to or run out of RAM, but as I'm typing this, the only thing I have open is Google Chrome and Activity Monitor. I am using 3.99 out of 4.00 GB. I am planning on upgrading to 8GB soon, but is this normal? I have restarted and that doesn't work. Here is a picture of Activity Monitor:

Just installed OS X Mavericks for my iMac last night. Wanted to do it because it was the only way for me to continue playing this game.Took awhile to install, but checked this morning and it finished and it said "Restarting computer" after the completion of the installation.
I pressed the power button and booted it up like usual, but whenever I start it up, no log in screen pops up whatsoever. I pressed keys, clicked everywhere with the mouse but nothing. All it shows is a plain, grey screen and at the moment, there's no possible way for me to log in and get on. I searched up some methods and tried to "safe boot" it which I did but it did not work. It could've possibly worked but i can't tell because my iMac screen display is broken so I'm using dual monitors but nothing shows up on my second monitor. I tried turning it off and back on, but still did not work.
For a couple of days the fan of my (15" late 2011) MacBook Pro has been constantly running and the Mac has become sluggish. The CPU temperature is 156 °F. It seems that the problem would be caused by "coreservicesd" process taking a huge percentage (57%) of the Mac RAM.
I am running OS X 10.9.3 with 8 Go. RAM and 500 Go. HD
Every time I start my Mac Mini I get a dialogue window with the message: You shut down your computer because of a problem. etc I have repaired permissions, repaired the disk, reset PRAM and still get the message.
I have a mac book pro 17. I have 2 logins. on the main one it takes a long time and only the top bar appears. the normal icons dont appear. when i move the mouse i just get the spinning wheel and i stays like that. you can not operate anything. you have to hold power button to turn it off.
- if i try to log in in safe mode it does not owrk either. - if i sign in as another user in safe boot, things seem to work. i suspect something is not sitting right in the main sign in.
I have checked the disc and it says it is fine. I have tried to back up but i does not seem to work, it just seems to hang too.
Since upgrading to Mavericks my Mac has been running pretty slow. I run Logic Pro 9 and Ableton 8 music programs on my computer quite often and that's where i notice significant lag. I understand those are heavy programs, but even when Safari is open and I try to open Finder there is lag time before the window actually opens. When I restart my computer, it runs a little better, but as soon as I begin to open other programs, the lag begins and will continue even after I close them.
I upgraded from Snow Leopard and never had any issues- it ran extremely smooth under the most stressful conditions with all the current memory and hard drive space, cpu, etc. I

Somehow, Quicken became broken so I replaced it with new copy and moved old to trash. When trying to empty trash I get the message that the application is still in use and can't remove. When I take the app out of trash and try to open it I get the message "Application is broken or incomplete."
Apparently, some part of the application failed to shut down and continues to run. It does not appear in the list when I try to force quit. Whatever it is that's running is either a memory hog or takes up too much CPU time because the whole system slows down to a point that I can't do any work (just get the spinning color wheel) and I have to manually force system shut-down.
When I restart the computer all works okay (but slow) and starts to degrade over time until the system runs out of whatever resource Quicken is using. Question is: How can I delete this application and eliminate the problem.
Twice my macbook pro has shut down on me spontaneously. I recently got the logic board replaced. What could this mean? What do I need to do differently?
I have a 13" MacBook Pro Mid 2012 model. Specs: Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB, Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64). A couple months ago I went to turn on my computer and I had a blinking folder with a question mark. I diagnosed the problem as a burned out SATA cable. I looked up the serial number of the cable I needed to order, ordered it, and in a couple weeks it arrived. After installing the new cable, I turned on my computer, and voila, no more blinking folder.
However, I noticed that the fan was really loud. Once logged in, I noticed the displays were laggy, and all video I tried to watch was very choppy. I decided to download iStat menus to see what was going on with my computer. Once I checked it, it showed that the cpu was 100% clogged up with 0% on idle. But the crazy part is that 89% of the CPU's tasks showed up as system, and under system, mainly kernal_task.
I restarted my computer, resetted the PRAM (which every once in a while would work regarding the clogged CPU but never the fan), but nothing has worked. Before this problem I was editing video projects for my broadcasting class on Premiere Pro with minor lag spikes. Now, I cannot even render a 5 second clip. I was reading somewhere that my heat sensor may be out, causing the fan to run, but I didnt know if that causes my CPU to clog up...

Recently, I've been trying to access my webcam but both Google Chrome, Safari, and my computer claim that it doesn't exist. I know for a fact that the camera is there, and works, having used it in the past, but all of a sudden it seems to have stopped being recognized.
I've tried changing my systems preferences and everything, and when it stopped working I hadn't changed anything. My Macbook is a Macbook OS X from 2009 running 10.9.4 and has no updates.
