My macbook pro 2008 is now crashing on a daily basis (when I'm on Safari) When I click on the "Send report to Apple" I get an error message that it can not be sent. I've updated all my software but the problem persists.

Mac Book Pro Early 2008
Suddenly, my MacBook will not run MS Office 2008. Each of the programs will start up and immediately crash. I am running Leopard 10.5.8.

alright so everything with my late 2008 macbook pro had been fine up until about three weeks ago when it started to randomly crash (while watching movies online and using vuze). so tonight i decided to reset the PRAM since i had seen that as a possible solution on some of the other threads on this issue. did that but now the front power LED doesn't come on when the computer is on. so far no crashes yet but who knows
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy White MacBook 4,1 (summer 2008) has recently started to have big problems when I watch on-line video from within a browser. What happens is:
-Launch browser (same behaviour with Firefox, Safari, Opera)
-Watch video
-Video behaviour gets jumpy
-Spinning pizza wheel arrives
-Browser crashes
I have tried a reinstalling Snow Leopard, disabling the browser add-ons, running the browsers in safe mode and I get the same pattern of results. I guess it is a hardware fault but I do not know how to identify the fault. System Profiler tells me my RAM status is "OK" and there are no obvious faults anywhere else in system profiler.

Haven't had a problem to date and after opening a file that excel obviously struggled with for some reason, excel open briefly then I encounter the following error message. Much obliged for any help or guidance.
Error Signature:

I'm having a problem where whenever I change a particular cell in a relatively complex spreadsheet I built, Excel crashes. The cell is a trigger cell that changes a list of assumptions to calculate a particular scenario. The spreadsheet was working fine and then, all of sudden, this problem arose. I had this same problem about 3 weeks ago and ended up copying individual tabs into a new spreadsheet and globally replacing the links so it was working. That worked okay until this most recent incident. The stranger thing is it seems I can open the spreadsheet using Excel for Windows and it doesn't crash.
View 8 Replies View RelatedEvery time I open a Word document, the application crashes during start up, right after you can see the document in the screen. Then the application Microsoft error reporting shows up (see below for the very last error report), I send the error, re- open the document and no problem from there...
Other facts:
- All documents are in Spanish as default language, Arial font
- The application was installed just a couple of weeks ago. Before that, I was using Office 2002 (or 2001?)
- I installed excel, power point and word only
- Most documents were originally created with the older version of Word
I just installed Microsoft Office 2008 and have had nothing but issues since the installation.
Entourage is a nightmare. I have three different work emails that I use through it and I can barely open emails now. Especially emails with html or pictures attached. Today it's crashing on an email that has nothing attached. Here is the log for that...
when I run Office 2008, all seems to be fine, but if I run Excel and another office application is opening at the same time, I get the crash screen with the different languages to restart the computer. Have snapshot of the report here [URL] This is a lab image with a Mac Pro, 10.5.4, 2 gig Ram 160 HD At first when the image was created and I keep getting this I though maybe there was an issue with the install so ended up re0installing the OS, software etc. Still had the issue, so grabbed another tower with same specs. Now all is installed with this 75 GB lab image, all customized and still crashing. I have tried with the stripped down default user profile that not even setup with the Office user account. Which means when I open office I need to do the registration. Once that is done, when I open the apps, the computer crashes. Tried this because I though it was a bad copy of the office .plist files. My next option is to remove Office 2008 and install Office 2004 and install Open Office in case users need to open .docx files.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI think you guys will agree with me, that I have powercycled my battery too much, resulting in a serious loss of performance with my battery.
I have been unplugging my MBP each, and every night, and then using battery during th day until I got the low battery warning, then plugging it in until the evening, and so on.
Looking at the status below, 50+ powercycles in 10 months has reduced the life of my battery by half. Looks like I will invest in a new battery at some point, and follow Apples guidelines to the letter in future.
I would like to know wether is possible to use high performance programs such us aperture on a daily notebook like mackbook air.

When I first purchased Lion and used the iCal application, I was able to set Reminders to repeat themselves on a daily basis (eg. Take Your Pill). But now, for some unknown reason, this option has disappeared. I have one reminder that still shows this (since I have not marked it completed), but I cannot create any new daily reminders. What happened? Did Apple remove this option from iCal?

Mac's instruction manual for my MBP states if you are not going to use the computer for a couple of days or longer it is best to shut down. For people that use their computers everyday, is it best to but it to sleep when not in use or to shut down and unplug?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) and am getting daily (sometimes multiple daily) kernel panics. It's been months since hardware changes (upgraded to 8Gb RAM, quality modules that work fine on other identical Macs). Today is the first day that it's happened more than once, but I hope that's not a sign of things to come... Here are Pastebin dumps of the Problem Report, System log, and Console log.
I haven't done any serious software updates in a while, but I did set up a Windows XP VM in Parallels Desktop, which has been running during most kernel panics. Maybe bad drivers that are incompatible or need updating? It sometimes runs for hours before a panic, so I don't think running in Safe Mode would be effective (unless I take it home overnight, which I may try). It seems that my problem is similar to another thread I found on this forum, but mine is a bit different, and I don't run any microsoft hardware (Logitech keyboard and mouse).

Since 12th May when updated to 10.7.4 have at least one kernel panic per day sometimes four per day which means iMac i3 is useless for running a server platform. Multiple entries about this form may users is there a bug in OSX update? My recovery partition holds 10.7.2 any idea if this is bug prone as well?

My network diagnostics remember my name, password, etc., but for some reason it won't connect to the internet the first time I try each day. I have to click on "Network Settings" and manually go through to change all the red dots to green. Like I said, I don't have to update, change, or manually enter anything; just click through the boxes. If it saves all my info, why can't I simply launch Safari from the beginning?

3/26/12 1:44:13 PMkernelAppleBCM5701Ethernet: 0 a BCM5701Enet::replaceOrCopyPacket timedout This is the last line I get in any logfile before the system totally locks up. This happens at least once a day, with no particular pattern. This started happening about 3 weeks ago, and the only solution is to power cycle the machine.
There are no other items in the log files to indicate anything is wrong. This is the only common log entry, and always the very last before the system is power cycled. I have no idea what is causing the system to hang like this. Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server

How do I stop itunes from corrupting it's library on almost a daily basis? It's actually becoming infurating to use, and what's happening is I am losing my downloads since the last automated itunes backup (having to rename & replace the current corrupted library with the last backup which is usually a day or two old).

This is what the log is telling me and I can't say how far back it goes because just the one day can take up a few pages of scripts! This is a sample of what the majority of the log seems to be: This was the 15th of June just passed.

I have no idea what any of this means, and if it wasn't for Google I wouldn't've found the folder in the first place. And this is only around 26GB of the whole 79GB the HD has available. My personal files take up under 20GB of data.
