MacBook :: DVD Playback - Sometime Freeze?
Aug 30, 2010Good evening, all. I searched the forum but didn't see anything related to what I'm asking. Does anyone have any problems playing back DVDs? I have to remember to take DVD player out of full-screen playback because it will sometimes freeze and I have to power down. In addition, sometimes while I'm viewing a DVD de-interlaced, the screen is garbled. Switching the de-interlacing off gives me the picture back. I took a picture of what it looked like the one time it locked up on me.

Jun 30, 2009Whenever I put in a commercial audio cd in, it mounts as "Audio CD". It s been a while since I've put an audio cd in, but I thought it gave the artist title. Also, iTunes is supposed to open...well instead of opening, it just bounces on my dock.
When iTunes IS open and an audio cd is put in, iTunes will freeze up with the spinning wheel of death. I cannot force quit iTunes until I have ejected the CD, and cannot eject the CD unless iTunes is closed.It a very weird problem. The warranty on my Mac has expired.

Mar 15, 2012When I started my computer this evening, it froze immediately after starting up. (I have had three start up items for over a year: Dashboard, iTunes, and Chrome). Then after I unplugged it and removed the battery to restart it (nothing else would work), it was extremely slow to restart. I had to then Option-Command-Escape out of each progrma that starts up, and when I started Chrome again, it was very slow. After some time, it started to pick up speed again, like starting a car engine on a cold winter morning. Â

MacBook Air :: Its Repeated Freeze On Startup?
Mar 19, 2012Several times in the last few days the startup page has frozen. Following the instructions in the little instruction book I power down by holding the power button, wait a few seconds, then power back up while holding down the option key, and with all peripherals disconnected. I get a screen with two icons, "Macintosh HD" and "Recovery HD". The instructions say, "click the internal flash drive icon." Assuming that means the "Macintosh HD" icon, I click on that. That brings up a new startup page. Usually that is not frozen and I can sign in. Occasionally this second startup page is frozen too, so I repeat the power+option powerup. Whenever I have to resort to the second try I get an unfrozen startup page.Â
Once signed in I go to System Preferences and click on Startup Disk. Always after a frozen startup page I find this preference unlocked and the "Macintosh HD OS X 10.7.3" highlighted. I click on the icon, lock the preference again, and all works fine for the next one or two startups, then I get the frozen startup page again. One time on the power+option powerup I clicked on the "Recovery HD" icon rather that the "Macintosh HD" icon. All I got then was the blank Apple logo page with the revolving gear going on interminably. After several minutes I gave up on seeing what that would produce.Â

Mar 29, 2012My computer has started freezing repeatedly. Seems to occur on random software programs - nothing obvious. Cannot even move the pointer. I can only shut down from the power button. I do not have start up discs with me (out of the country and no where near an apple store). I desperately need my computer to work!! Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try. HD test says it's ok. Tried SMC restart and that didn't help. Computer is not running hot either.

MacBook Pro :: Won't Use / Freeze With Black Screen During Calibration
Sep 13, 2010Today I left my MBP on without the Power Adapter for calibration. Three hours later, when I arrived home, I found it with a black screen, unresponsive (didn't respond to any key or mouse movement whatsoever). No, the battery wasn't empty of charge, it still had half the charge! This is the second time this happens to me, I can't seem to think of a reason for this to happen.
I believe JDownloader was open, but not doing any downloads, but I'm not sure whether it was open or not, but besides it, nothing else was open.

Feb 19, 2012It doesn't just happen on Youtube it happens on every website that uses Adobe Flash, I haven't seen it happen to anyone else but me. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Installed and it happens on all the browsers, Google Chrome and Safari.Â
When playing a video the first second the image stops but the audio keeps going until they meet. I don't know how to explain this but what happens is the video begins first, then the audio and after that the video stops, the audio keeps going until it meets with the exact image and then both of them keep playing at the same time. This happens since I got my computer.

MacBook Pro :: Lion Freeze On Boot After Ram Upgrade
Apr 25, 2012I have a mid-2010 13" Macbook Pro. I wanted to upgrade to 8G of ram so I bought this: url...When it arrived in the mail I installed it and booted the laptop. The apple logo comes up, the spinner starts spinning and then after awhile freezes. I figured that I recieved bad RAM so I sent it back to apple and they sent me new memory. I installed the new ram and the same thing happened again. Booting in verbose mode (Apple-V) doesn't give anything useful.This time I decided to run memory tests. I booted into single user mode (which sees 8G of memory and works fine) and ran memtest overnight. It ran 6 or 7 passes without finding any memory errors.My next plan is to try to my DVD reinstall/repair the OS to see if that will help but I don't want to do that because I would have to downgrade to Snow Lepoard and then reinstall Lion and that takes long enough to try to avoid.

MacBook Pro :: Computer Likes To Freeze During Startup
Dec 8, 2014my computer likes to freeze during startup (at the apple logo, the loading wheel sometimes stops without warning). Secondly, when I tried to use my DVD drive today, at least one DVD and one CD were ejected. The one CD I tried made a clicking sound prior to ejecting. The 2nd DVD took a long time to load, and the 3rd one loaded without fail. Could this issue be related to the DVDs specifically, or is that the drive beginning to fail? I tried running the Apple Hardware Test while I was at home, but it stated that everything worked fine…I can diagnose my computer before I go to the genius bar, I just don’t want to have my laptop overheat [Emeryville and Berkeley never have availability anymore, so, when I get home for break, I’m going to take it to a store with availability..The last laptop I had (mid 2004 iBook) had a fan issue, which causes it to overheat, and shutdown unexpectedly. It still barely even works, but something caused some major screen damage to it as well.

MacBook Air :: Won't Stay Asleep - Black Screen And Freeze
Nov 9, 2010Been having a few huge issues with my new MBA 13".
#1 - Putting the laptop to sleep. I put the laptop to sleep and put it in the bag and at some point it wakes back up. If I don't remove it during the day by that afternoon/evening when I go to remove it the battery is at 0% and it's fully discharged. One day I took it out a couple hours in and the fan was blowing like mad like it had been running for a while, when I opened the lid I had a black screen and it was frozen. Disabled waked for network access but it was no help.
#2 - When the laptop goes in standby and I open it back up I get a beach ball forever - I've tried to let it go for upwards of 30 minutes and it never unfreezes, but I can move the mouse around. I ended up telling the laptop not to standby when it was plugged in to a power source otherwise I ended up always losing work.
MacBook Pro :: Screen Gets Freeze And Shows Static Lines?
Dec 17, 2010I have a 15" Macbook Pro that I purchased 5 years ago. It is getting old, but I replaced both the ram and the harddrive about half a year ago. I have been having problems with the screen freezing for a while now. At first someone told me that my harddrive was probably causing the issue because it had been corrupted. I replaced it. The problem did not go away. Then I was told the problems I was having is software corruption, so I wiped the harddrive and reinstalled snow leopard OS. This did help for a while, but recently the problem has returned. My computer screen froze 3 times in an hour and I have static lines running horizontally across my screen. I have a screenshot example.
