MacBook Pro :: Computer Frozen With Virus

Apr 22, 2012

I am not a computer technician. However, I believe my computer has a virus. It has some sychadelic pattern that is present when I start it up and will not let me access anything. This is the first time in six years that this has happened. If I can "dump" everything and then start from scratch, that would be OK. I just want my laptop to work again-I need it for school.

Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

MacBook Pro :: Computer Slowing Down, Frozen Often

May 25, 2012

I have a MacBook Pro, running Lion. My laptop seems to have slowed down in terms of opening programs, and often, Finder will get stuck with the spinning ball. I also have an external hard drive attached to the laptop, and accessing the external often brings up the spinning ball. 

The external drive has a capacity of 299.72 GB     and 191.97 GB     is how much is free. 

For the laptop, the numbers are 249.07 GB capacity and 184.34 GB free. I regularly run the Disk Utility to check/repair permissions. Is there any way to determine why things are running slow, and/or if I need a new external drive?

MacBook Pro :: Getting Spiny Rainbow And Now Computer Frozen

Nov 22, 2010

I have a 2006 MBP (that may or may not be the problem) that freezes when I do anything. It happened sort of gradually. First, I was just getting the spinny rainbow when I had too many windows open or something. Then, it started just happening just because, sometimes only a couple minutes after my last restart. Now, I can't even open certain programs with it crashing right away (Safari, iTunes, iChat, Software Update.)

Safari doesn't even really open, it bounces in the dock then just sits there without being highlighted, but makes my computer absolutely unresponsive. I am able to use firefox (which I'm using right now, this is my only computer), but it won't be before long that I see the spiny rainbow again.

Stuff I've done so far that hasn't worked: Reformatted
Took to 'genius bar' who could only tell me that I may need a new HD
Installed new HD

OS X :: Unable To Use LogMeIn - Home Computer Must Have Frozen?

Mar 24, 2010

have currently been away from home for nearly four months now, and on three different occasions, I've needed to ask a friend from back home to visit my house and force-restart my computer because I was no longer able to access it via LogMeIn because my home computer had frozen for one reason or another.

I need to find some sort of a fail-safe method for remotely force restarting home my computer when I am in a pinch, without the need for a friend to visit my house.

PowerPC :: Dual G5 Shutdown Randomly - PMU Forced Shutdown, Cause = -122

Sep 8, 2006

My system has randomly shut down twice now in the last two days. Dual G5 2.3. I checked the console log, which I know very little about, and it said this:

localhost kernel[0]: ApplePMU::PMU forced shutdown, cause = -122

Two questions-

what's the -122 code mean?

Do you think resetting the PMU would be the solution to this?

Mac Pro :: Frozen Macbook When Powered Up On Battery / Fix It?

Apr 15, 2009

My battery seems to have lost the plot. I can turn my machine on when running off the battery and it fires up as normal. Once it gets to my desktop everything is frozen. The arrow is always stuck in the top left corner and the only thing that works is the power button, but I can't even turn it off because I can't select switch off.

It works fine if I take the battery out and run off the adaptor but kinda defeats the purpose of having a laptop.
