I have a Macbook pro 13' (2013) which had the OS X Mavericks. About to days ago I upgraded to OS X Yosemite, it worked well for one day. Then, the mouse in the screen is always downloading and I cant turn off my computer unless I do it with the power button. My screen is black and almost evrytime with the mouse  downloading (rainbow circle).
Info:
MacBook Pro, iOS 7.1.2
Before two weeks I have done a clean install of OS Yosemite in my MBP retina.Â
But unfortunately I have noticed some bugs such as:Â
- When I press Shut down the dock stays the half freezed, not completely disappeared and then the system shut down.
- Its a grey screen when I switch on from sleep
- It has completely freezed 3 times and restarts itself
- The wifi signal has been lost 2 times, in my home using my router wlan.
- The continuity doesn't work with my iPhone 6+.
- I don't know but I think that Mavericks were faster..Â
I have done PRAM and SMC reset but nothing.Â

Recently I purchased a brand new Mac Mini 2014 and sometimes I have this weird issue. Sometimes my mac has short freezes, i can't move cursor or type anything. when I reboot my issue is solved but I find it quite annoying that this is happening.
I googled this issue but didn't really find anything simular to my issue. It's like it running something very huge to process because if i move my mouse during the freeze it does move my mouse after the freeze.I monitored my memory but I haven't noticed anything strange (is it normal I only have 5-10% of my 8GB RAM left?)Â

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I have waited quite some time until a first update to Yosemite was available.
I have installed Yosemite on both my IMAC and my MBP.Â
Since then, both computers behave similarly.
Even when no actions are performed, the memory fills up hour after hour, this takes a few hours.
Eventually the memory is so full that any operation takes 10 mn to complete, and it becomes impossible to perform any work.
In practice it is best to restart the computers every 4 hours.Â
The problem tasks are:
- Folder Actions Dispatcher
- and to a lower extend "kernel_task".Â
Info:
iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), I7, 2.8 GHz (model 2010), 8 Gb RAM
I just updated my Mac to Yosemite. I did a fresh install (erased disk and then restore documents and data with Time Machine) and installed all updates. Everything is working flawlessly except Mail. I can't make it run. Every time I opened it said that will import the mails, and a window appears and start the process. Yet, it does not go beyond there. I even leave my Mac for a whole night, and never went any further from the screen "preparing to import messages".Â

I can search fine with Spotlight but when I click the result the spotlight freezes - right in the middle of the screen..If I click a text file it does not open the text file after unfreezing..So basically spotlight is completely useless.

I changed my Mac to log in with my iCloud password, which I also recently changed. This is when things went... crazy.Â
• Upon reboot, my Keychain password will not work. No password I give Keychain will work.Â
• Safari just sits there with the beachball. Force-quit shows Safari as "Not Responding."Â
• Launchpad will not accept keyboard inputÂ
I've repaired the drive and preferences. No change.
For what it's worth, another account on the same machine does NOT exhibit these issues.Â

So I've had this MacBook for about 4 years now. There has been recently(3 months ago) had problems with it, such as not being able to select things but that has been fixed by apple due to the swelling of the battery. Therefore it was fixed free of charge. I wanted to mention this just in case it could be relevant to the current problem it has. Recently, on my 2nd account (I have 2 on my macbook), everything suddenly froze and I could not move my mouse. I thought it was probably due to the lag of youtube and having more than 3 applications in use. Therefore, I restarted my computer and it automatically logged in on my 1st account(I set that on my log in settings). So everything works FINE on that account and moves smoothly(it also works fine on the log in screen), with no problems. I log into my second one again and the mouse is still stuck (although I can move it within the first 5 second span). I restart multiple times, the 1st account being fine, ONLY having problems with the second one.
Considering I have important files on the 2nd I decide to take a risk and change the log in settings to automatically log in as the 2nd account. I restarted the laptop and it logged into my 2nd account. And it worked. I was happy and tried to go onto my 1st account as well. Then I encountered the same problem. It seems the mouse only freezes (ONLY the mouse because the keyboard and power button works fine whenever I restart it) on the account that's log in settings are not set to automatic. I have important files on BOTH accounts, therefore deleting one is not a solution. This incident happened 2 months ago. I ignored it since it wasn't that big of a deal and my laptop is still working fine. But changing the log in settings every time I need to switch is rather aggravating, don't you think? Is there anyway I can fix this myself or do I have to bring this to Apple?
I was just sitting doing some homework, when my MacBook Pro suddenly froze. I was using the following programs:
Adobe Photoshop
Messenger for Mac 2011 Beta 6
Skype
Safari with like 3-4 tabs opened
iTunes playing a song
So suddenly the song stopped playing, and I couldn't move the cursor or anything. Everything was frozed, so I had to hold down the power button. Why does this happen, and is there anything I can do to prevent it?
I'm all out of possibilities, as far as I can think.I wound up with a Macbook Pro 2ghz Core Duo, and while I knowit's old as hell, I'd like to get it in proper working order, as I feel it still has a lot of life in it if I can get it to stop freezing.It freezes without rhyme or reason, there's no specific application, action, etc that the issue is confined to. It's anything at any time.
I've tried replacing the hard drive, there's an issue with the dvd drive so I just cloned the startup drive, I've repaired permissions, used 3rd party programs to wipe caches, verify and repair the hdd, even wipe and restore system and application settings. I just put new ram in it as well. I'm considering purchasing a new superdrive or external optical drive just to be able to run the hardware test or try a fresh install, but I hoped to obtain some insight prior to spending more money than I already have put into it. I've really put a lot of time into this, and as much as I'd like to take the ultimate solution and just buy a new mbp, that's not an option at the moment.
why my Mac Book Pro freezes when i only launch my iTunes. It happens every time i startup Itunes.

I own a macbook with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b) operating system. The problem with my macbook is that when i shut it down freezes before it turns off. In order to fix the problem i repaired th disk permissions and i reinstalled the operating system but the same thing happens all the time.

my macBook Pro freezes all the time(at least twice a week) while i'm using it and i have to hold down the power button or wait for about 15 minutes for it to come back.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA couple of weeks ago I bought a nearly two year old MacBook pro from my friend. It has Lion installed and was apparently refurbished by Apple after it broke (not sure exactly what happened). It worked perfectly until today. I have about 30 pictures/documents, iWork and nothing else installed, so I presume there's a lot of hard drive space left.I was browsing safari today (facebook, two other tabs open which were picture-heavy websites) and my Mac started to run really slowly. Not just Safari, Pages too. It froze several times (I got the spinning beach ball), so in my frustration I restarted, but the problem still wasn't solved. It got to the point where I had to close the other tabs, and when I closed one of them a message came up saying 'a script in this movie is causing Adobe flash player to run slowly' but I had no idea that I was even using Flash. I aborted the script and my macbook was okay for a while, but when I went back onto facebook to send someone a message I got the beach ball again.
What's more annoying is that when I bought the macbook off my friend it was kind of unofficial and he can be a bit of a d*** so I don't know what would happen if I said to him "this isn't working properly". He said that apple has guaranteed the refurbished macbook for 6 months but I don't know how that worked, I thought they just fixed his macbook and didn't know they put guarantees on refurbished macs, I have no receipts but if I asked him to find them could I take it to the apple store if it gets worse? You might have guessed that I'm a complete technophobe who gets pretty stressed when things don't work. I've been quite disappointed with my MacBook so far because I'd heard that they were virtually problem free.

My MacBook Pro 8,1 freezes with blue screen and indicator when I try to turn it off. I tried using Disc Utility and OnyX, but no result. In a service centre, they have done an inspection and told me that there are no hardware problems.

I bought my macbook pro 13.3 in like less than 2 months ago. It got 8gb of RAM, 750Gb of memory and i7 core. In the first two weeks, my speaker start to buzzing and now when I turn it on, it takes forever to get to the user screen. The screen gets white and sometimes I have to turn it off because it stays with the white screen. When it gets to the user screen and I put the password it just freezes.

When browsing using Firefox (Haven't tried other browsers) and using the two finger gesture to scroll, it will stop scrolling, won't go down or up, and the only way to get it unstuck is to wiggle the page slider and then it will work again. Is this a Firefox, OSX, or hardware issue and is there a fix to it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I just did a fresh install of Windows XP, and before ANYTHING was installed every time I tried putting a disc in everything would lock up and I would have to restart Windows. So I tried downloading more Bootcamp drivers, and I also installed AVG. Still it does the same thing...Why would it do this? I'm so frustrated it's not even funny. It took me a month to get Windows to work in the first place...now I can't install any games...

View 19 Replies View RelatedWhat does this error message mean? I have had my MBA since Feb, and never had this error. I get the error, in several languages, and the computer is frozen at that point. A restart gets me back up and running until it happens again, usually within; an hour or so. Always while using Safari.

I am having some issues with my Macbook. It doesn't matter what file it is. Every time I download a .dmg file and it finishes its download and is about to mount, my mac freezes up and a dark screen drops down and tells me to reboot my computer?
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?
My new 13 inch MacBook Pro keeps on freezing. I'm only on iTunes and FireFox. Anybody else have these problem?.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI intended to bring my computer in for service, but since the issues weren't a big deal, I postponed it as long as possible (I'm a professional DJ preforming with Traktor Scratch Pro and Ableton) I also own a previous generation Macbook Pro used for school stuff. This one is in the shop because a friend of mine sat on it and broke the keyboard.Now, whilst preforming last week, my Unibody froze during playing (never happend before). Had to push the power button for 5 sec., you know the drill. I thought this happened because I used my computer for school stuff the other week (installed adobe creative suite, iwork and stuff like that).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am a new mac user. I bought a macbook pro a couple months ago and it is giving me trouble. Sometime it just FREEZES and nothing respond. Just the mouse cursor but nothing else, not even the apple logo to shut the laptop down. That happens when i using very simple applications, like Firefox, Office 2008, etc. I have to use the power bottom to restart the laptop again. That worries me because it does not happen to my since old times when I had my first PC with Windows 98. It did not happen to me neither on XP nor Vista.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, okay, I happen to have an 13-inch MacBook (aluminum). Before I move on to point out all the problems I'm having, I guess I should point out I bought it from BestBuy, and open box. Don't worry, no need to scold me, I've learned my lesson.
What happens with it is that it freezes at random. Completely. It doesn't do a thing. I can't move the mouse, and nothing on the screen moves. This forces me to do a hard reboot. Sometimes, when that happens, when I turn the computer back on, airport doesn't appear. I check on networks, and it won't turn itself on. I have to turn off the computer and turn it back on until it decides to appear.
Apart from that, there are times where Airport randomly decides to shut itself off. At the top, I can see the Airport icon but the signal lines are gone. It's completely blank, as if I had turned it off. If I try to turn it back on, it doesn't do it. I click to turn it back on and it doesn't do anything.
I took it to BestBuy since I have a warranty with them. First time, they said my harddrive was faulty and they'd replace it with no cost. Fair enough. When I picked it up a week and a half later, the problem was still there! I left it at BestBuy again, and the guy told me that he can't find a problem with it. That he had run all the tests and that my computer passed them all without a problem. He checked everything, and yet the problem is still there.
