MacBook Pro :: Crashing Repeatedly - Many Apps Such As ITunes Are Freezing

Aug 21, 2014

Mac is running latest OSX Mavericks software.... But lately, my Mac is crashing repeatedly when I attempt to use iTunes or iBooks, both also the latest releases.  Syncing with either iTunes or iBooks is nearly impossible.  No disk repair or verification errors.  I am thinking that there is some rogue software glitch that has me.  I am thinking that I need to do a factory reset followed by a time machine data recovery. 

Info:
OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Software :: Mac Keeps Freezing Repeatedly - Need To Restore?

Mar 5, 2010

I bought an Ibook G3 two weeks ago. Its got mac 10.4.11 on it. Its processor is 600 mhz, and its memory is 192 mb sdram. It worked fine when I got it. Basically it keeps freezing repeatedly, and nothing unfreezes it. When I do command option, escape. it either does nothing, or the screen goes completely haywire. Then sometimes when I restart it, the screen is completely black, and I have to restart it over and over again until the screen comes up again. Sometimes when it is running the screen goes haywire (meaning all of the colors turn into lines) and then it goes away. I know the battery is weakening and is about to go, but all this happens with or without the battery. I also tried removing all power sources and holding the power button for 60 seconds but that didn't work either.

So I called the company that sold it to me, and they told me I need to restore it and buy a disc of that version of mac. They said I must have downloaded something that didn't agree with it. But could that really make the screen go black? I really need a second opinion before I go ordering anything. Bc if I do, by the time I get the disc it will probably be too late to return it if it doesnt work. I have tried to get anything that I have downloaded removed,and it is still freezing. Is there any way to get straight to everything I have downloaded and trash it all without having to order the disc? I mean I've only had it two weeks. Most of the things I downloaded were from the apple website.

Intel Mac :: Preview Is Freezing Repeatedly

Jun 7, 2012

I'm running a new iMac with OS X Lion 10.7.4. Whenever I open the application Preview, it goes to fullscreen and stops responding (presenting the rainbow wheel) for a number of minutes. This happens everytime the scanner scans a file and opens in on Preview, and oftentimes when the application is opened normally. It takes about 5-10 minutes for it to begin responding after opening it. I know Preview is a relatively lightweight application

Quicktime 7 Repeatedly Crashing After Several Reinstalls

Mar 12, 2012

I am having some serious issues with QT 7. It was originally working, then I added a number of new codecs/ plugins to the Library/Quicktime directory. These were taken from a friends mac whose QT7 was working fine. Then quicktime began not to work even after repairing disk permissions.I decided to totally remove QT 7 using AppCleaner, then repaired disk permissions again and reinstalled QT7.Now everytime I run QT7 it crashes after a second or so.I am fairly mac savvy and am capable of using terminal if needs be.  [code]

OS X :: IMacs Finder Crashing Repeatedly When Connecting To SMB Share?

Feb 8, 2010

I currently have about 8 iMacs in our lab on OS X 10.5.8 with all of their updates. When attempted to reach an SMB share on a Windows 2008 server by way of smb://10.x.x.x each mac starts to error. It reaches the server and asks for their login, but after the correct info is inputted the mac starts to act up. The apple menu disappears and so does every icon on the desktop. The finder navigator becomes inaccessible and you aren't really able to do anything until the computer is forced to shut down by holding down the power button. I turned on Activity Monitor and then tried to connect to a server and saw that the processes Finder and ReportCrash both appear and then disappear about every 15 seconds or less. Over and over again with no popup reporting the crash to the user.

MacBook :: Keeps Freezing And Crashing?

Feb 14, 2012

Sometimes when I am surfing the internet each website gets slower and slower to load, and eventually the little loading rainbow icon just keeps going round and round and it has frozen and crashed. What concerns me also is the fact that when this happens it won't even let me 'force quit Safari'. Although I can still bring other applications up (other than the internet), it won't let me shut down or restart either. The only way to get the internet working again is to press the power button which I know I shouldn't do, but what choice do I have when it won't let me force quit, restart or shut down? 

I am up to date with all the software updates. Because I was having this crashing problem I downloaded both iBoostUp (off app store) and MacKeeper off the internet to scan for hidden viruses etc, but it still hasn't eradiated the problem.

MacBook Pro :: Why Does It Keep Freezing / Crashing

Sep 2, 2014

I've had this Macbook Pro Retina for about 3 months now, and it has been working fine until recently. For a few days now, my  computer keeps freezing numerous amounts a day. I noticed that it usually happens when I'm on YouTube, I don't know if thats the cause or why its doing it. But every time I stay on YouTube for a while, out of nowhere, when I click on a new link, the loading icon appears, and it stays like that until I have to shut down my entire computer. I even try closing the tab and it just makes it worse.

MacBook Pro :: Prevent From Crashing And Freezing?

Jun 27, 2014

I currently have a 2013 MacBook pro which is running on Maverick 10.9.3 and through out the last few months it kept freezing and crashing and making these weird screen during the freeze, like a bunch of parallel lines. Per day when ever I turn on my MacBook to do my homework or anything else, the Mac kept craning at least 7 times a day. I looked at every possible thing that could cause it and all the results were disappointing. I check if my storage space was almost full or I'm using too much ram at one and my Mac kept getting worse and worse. Is there any tips on what I should do to prevent my Mac from Crashing ?

My MacBook specs:

-2.9 Ghz Intel core i7
-8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
-749.3 GB of storage (638.19 GB is free )

MacBook Pro :: Keeps Freezing / Crashing - Not Able To Force Close

Aug 28, 2014

A few times a day my mac will freeze. Usually I get the spinning beachball and will become unable to click anything, then move the mouse at all. Generally I'm not able to force close anything. It can usually be unfrozen by restarting, or if I go away for 10 minutes it will sometimes have sorted itself out. It appears that this can happen whilst using a variety of different programs, I haven't been able to spot any patterns as such.  

So far I have been in contact with Apple support and have done everything they suggested, right up until re-installing Mavericks. I then took the laptop in to a repair shop, I the first time they replaced the logic board. Neither of these things solved the problem, if anything the crashing seems to happen more often now then it ever did. 

I took it in to the repair shop for a second time, and they said that something had corrupted the system files, and that I should completely wipe the laptop, only restore my user date from time-machine, then install all the apps again one by one to try and work out which one had corrupted everything.

Intel Mac :: Why Does It Keep Freezing/crashing

Apr 22, 2012

I've had my iMac since January 2011 and it has never had a problem, i've got the Apple care thing and tried ringing them but their offices are closed. Desperately need this fixed as i'm at uni and have deadlines in less than two weeks! Basically, my iMac started playing up yesterday, crashing and freezing, I thought nothing of it and reset it once or twice and it all seemed fine.Today I switched it on and it was fine until it crashed after a few minutes whilst using Safari.When I say crashed I mean the dock at the bottom wouldn't allow me to open any programmes and the top Apple menu won't allow me to click on anything IE Safari, File, View etc.I've restarted and shut down my computer many times, with difficulty - as stated I can't click on the Apple logo to switch it off. Based on google searches i've tried doing permission verify through disk utilities and repair disk permissions.I'm currently on the Mac and it's taken me 6 hours to get to this forum, register, and type this! Signs that it's going to crash or has crashed are the mouse really lagging, not being able to use the magic scroll, unresponsive buttons, unresponsive dock, and menu. Only things that will work when it crashes are the volume keys on my wireless keyboard, multi window button and brightness etc.

MacBook Pro :: Apps Crashing - Exception Type And Codes

Aug 12, 2010

Alright I just picked up a new Macbook Pro from school today, and all my apps keep crashing, Safari, Chrome, System Preferences, you name it..... I've done a bit of search on the two codes I'm seeing and guess it might be the NuRam (8gb) I just put into it. Just wondering if there is anyway I can test the ram before I call them up? Just as a heads up these are the codes I'm seeing:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS

MacBook Pro :: 10.7 Suddenly Slow, Odd Behavior And Apps Crashing?

May 3, 2012

I've tried every trick I can think of within my current technical competency and I'm stumped for what to try next.Lately I've had some odd behaivour with it that may or may not be related or even significant...Finder hanging semi-regularly.Different programs preventing shut down.My volume randomly going up and down like the keys are being pushed (possibly a remote issue related to my recently purchased Apple TV, though not actually being used at the time of incendents?)

Current Issues Suddenly this week it feels like everything's causing trouble. Issues inclue...Various programs crashing or hanging (Firefox, Finder, Photoshop, Illustrator etc. - seems non-specific). Finder in particular I can't even get to reboot sometimes.Finder sometimes not loading view of files in folders, no spinning loading wheel either.Power cable light went amber for a period yesterday even though the MBP was at full power and plugged in all day.Photoshop file I created and know was working fine yesterday suddenly had an 'unexpected end-of-file error' today suggesting it wasn't saved properly and is since corrupted.Everything is running painfully slow, even when it works. Things I've changed latelyThe only things I can think of that I've done differently lately are these...

Upgraded my Dropbox to 100gb and started working with large artwork files directly from there.Changed the settings on my Airport Express Base Station at my office, which my MBP is set to try and connect to when possible. Remedies I've triedRebooting numerous times.Zapping the P-ram, which wont even work at the moment. Even with holding in the power button the MBP just loads to the login screen as per usual.Rebooting in safe mode.Emptying the trash can.Running iAntivirus to scan for viruses which came up clear.Repaired Disk and Repaired Disk Permissions.Run Spring Cleaning to clean System Caches.Cleared more space on my hard drive.Updated all software I'm completely out of ideas and I'm still none the wiser as to what the actual issue is.

Intel Mac :: It Constantly Freezing And Crashing

Mar 25, 2012

The computer freezes or crashes fairly regularly - sometimes within minutes of being started. I have wiped the hard disk several times and done a clean reinstall of Lion. The computer still crashes - again within minutes of the Finder launching.However, it behaves itself when I boot it into Windows, or if I do a Safe Boot. This is starting to drive me nuts.Here's the latest kernel panic

Intel Mac :: Bad Crashing, Freezing, Lines And Pale Patches And More?

May 3, 2012

I wonder if anyone can help me. I am not very technobod and there are progressively awful problems on my Mac until it is now so slow.I need to fix it before it dies altogether, or I throw it out of the window.....Problems:- Thin black lines randomly appearing across the windows. Ghosting of windows, they leave another version when moved. Sometimes windows just white out in areas with scribbly lines like pretend text. Sometimes windows have large bare patches all of a sudden or go see through Programs keep just quitting for no reason. The whole computer just freezes every now and then. Sometimes it waits and returns, occasionally it crashes completely. It is really painfully slow and can take me considerable minutes to open a new window or get something else up on screen. The tool bar sometimes goes all skeletal with no background. Loads more silly things like this... all random. 

It is driving me absolutely potty. It's only used by me doing emails, filing pics, designing jam labels, letters, going on forums and things. I don't give it loads to manage unless I'm doing something spectacularly stupid. This computer ought to be big enough to run a design studio..I have tried mackeeper, found it gave more problems than it solved, and uninstalled that, I've tried Clean my mac and only cleaned some, I left the universal binaries and the Caches alone. I then tried Onyx and fixed some listings (I kept the report) and cleaned up the caches in that, then restarted. It is now even slower than before I started fixing it, and all of the problems are still here. I've got time machine for back up. What can be going wrong?

Intel Mac :: G5 Keeps Freezing/crashing - SMU Reset Resulted In A Loud Fan Noise

Jul 3, 2012

I have a refubished iMac G5 OS X 10.6.8 desktop that was purchased in Aug, 2006.  Recently it has been either freezing, shutting down completely, or the display will just shut off multiple times per day 20+ times/day.  I am not interested in purchasing the $49 help from Apple.  Is it time for a new computer? 

I've been attempting some troubleshooting:

I have plenty of RAM- we installed more memory about 8 months ago. Temperature running at 40 degrees C 

I reset the SMU but now am hearing a loud fan sound and there is air blowing out of the horizontal vent in back of the desktop- which does not typically happen.  The computer has not crashed since I reset the SMU 20 minutes ago.  I'm worried about the noise. 

Also, it has been really hot where I live, with a heat index of 110 today and I don't have air conditioning.  Current indoor air temp is about 86 degrees F.    

Also, I have been seeing thin horizontal stripes across my screen for the past few months, related or unrelated issue?
