MacBook Pro :: Computer Keeps Restarting / Sending Error Reports When On The Internet
Aug 24, 2014My macbook pro has been acting weird for a week or so. I'll be on the internet and then it will randomly shut down safari or google chrome and send an error report message. This also just started happening with my iPhoto and iTunes as well. Sometimes my computer will just shut off completely and restart with a message saying there was a problem and it had to shut down. It seems like there is some bug or maybe a third party add on I need to get off?

IMac (Intel) :: Computer Keeps Restarting Randomly
Dec 7, 2014I recently had to reformat my iMac because it was restarting constantly and it kept freezing too. After a reformat, I installed a few programs. Skype, Microsoft Office 2010, VLC, Plex Home Theatre, Plex Media Server, an uTorrent.Â
My computer restarted randomly again, twice :-( I included the crash report below if it is useful.Â

Intel Mac :: Turn Off Applications Opening When Restarting Computer?
Mar 30, 2012I hate in Lion how when I restart my computer, all of the applications I had open before reopen. Can I turn that off? It takes start up forever. I've seen how to uncheck "Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps" and I've uncheck that, but it doesn't work for this case. I just want to start up like normal and I pick the apps I want to open at the time

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Restarting Computer Takes A Long Time?
Jun 23, 2012My computer crashed last night. When I started it back up, the permissions on one of my internal drives in my Mac Pro that I store data on had changed. This caused some problems when trying to open applications with files stored on that volume (i.e. my Adobe Lightroom catalog). I fixed these issues, and then restarted my Mac. When I did, I saw this:Â

View 2 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Freezing - Now Restarting?
Jun 21, 2010My MBP has been freezing over the past few weeks. When the computer freezes, the mouse gets hypersensitive, then it will be unresponsive to everything. The screen then goes black. One of three things then happen. One, I manually shut the computer down by holding the power button. Two, same as one except I get a Kernel Panic text file on my desktop when it loads back up (this only has happened once), or three, the computer restarts itself. It once from while I was playing Call of Duty 4, and once right after I had quit it. However, I had SMC fan set high whenever I play it, my computer is on a cooling stand and there's an desktop fan right next to it blowing over and under it. Could overheating still be a problem?
My MBP is late 2008 refurb, 2.53ghz, 9600 w/ 512 vram, 5400 rmp hard drive, 4gb Apple ram. Freezing has happened under both 9600 and 9400 cards.
The 9600 and hard drive have both been replaced by Apple in the past few months due to other freezing issues (the 9600 was defective, but when it froze I would get screen artifacts and the mouse would still move neither of those things happen now).

Sep 13, 2009I bought a new 17 inch MBP tonight. When it started up, it made a very odd sound that was similar to a CD/DVD being processed or ejected.I thought maybe it was a one time thing, but since restarting it a few times, it's made the same sound each time.Is this normal? I've never heard it before. It's like there's a CD or DVD in there, but of course there isn't.

Feb 16, 2012A few days ago I had to shut down my macbook because it froze. When I tried to restart it, it would sit on the grey apple screen and then after a few minutes it would restart again, and again, never getting past that screen. I called apple support and they tried to help me do a few things, non of which would work. Then they said I needed to reinstall OS Leopard but I did not have the discs, so I am waiting on them to be shipped. However, the next day I turned my mac on, and it worked. Since then I have turned it off and it has not worked again, but after doing a pram reset it works. However, it is very slow, only the safari browser will work, I cannot empty the trash (among other things) and just now when I tried to download an article off the internet, it said my disc was full and I had to delete things in order to clear space. if just reinstalling OS Leopard or upgrading to Lion will help?

MacBook Pro :: It Won't Turn On And Disk Keeps Restarting
Mar 27, 2012My MacBook Pro 15" (2010 i think) ran out of battery, switched off really abruptly. Now when I go to charge it, the light at the front flashes on but then turns straight off before repeating. It tries to boot, I can hear the disk begin to whirr but then it turns off abruptly and it keeps trying. I don't understand why it won't boot and why it cuts out during the boot-up! It literally stops booting after 1 second. I think it might be my harddisk being full? It only has 900mb free?

MacBook Pro :: Keeps Restarting Randomly In Middle Of Use
Apr 21, 2012In the last week or so, my computer has been randomly acting up:It has restarted over a dozen times when I pressed the "esc" button to exit from full-screen viewing while I watch video.It has gone to the sign in [initial purpley wave] screen when I was in the middle of simply typing a document.It has rebooted on it's own when I tried to use any application I use regularly- such as Photobooth, etc.And just now, I had to manually press the on-off button to get the computer started because my mouse was frozen. Sounds like there is a ghost in the ol' machine.

MacBook :: It Keeps Shutting Down, Then Restarting, Endlessly?
Apr 21, 2012For no apparent reason, my Mac shuts down and attempts to restart. This happens whether any programs are running or not, and regardless of whether I am even touching the computer. It has happened when I have been working, or in the other room. When it attempts to restart and fails, I have to hold down the power button, wait, then turn it ok again. The restarts were only every few days but frequency had increased now to every few minutes! What can I do, and what could be the problem? I am out of warranty.Â
Context is relevant: two months ago my old battery died, and the fan was ticking loudly and always on. Brought her to the Apple geniuses at the local store. They were to take my laptop for an hour to replace the fan and battery. When I came back in an hour, my hard drive, which I had installed myself a year ago but had had no problems till then, had inexplicably failed. They could not restart. I went home to pick up my backup drive. They restored my computer there in the store, and put in a new hard drive, gratis, along with the new fan, which I paid for. Something about their anxious behavior and how long all this took suggested something else went wrong, but I could not ascertain what, exactly.Â
When I got home, everything seemed ok till my computer randomly shut down and restarted twice. This picked up in frequency over the past two months, and you know the rest of the story, except this:Â
When I opened up my Mac, under the battery, my warranty sticker had been partially peeled off presumably by a Genius, and was sticking up. This was a month ago. Yesterday I took out the hard drive and held a flashlight to the inside. There were little bits of glue-balls rolling around, which I picked out, and a random orange wire sticking up. One of the little rubber tracks that support the drive is missing, but this has been the case for a year, with no problem. The glue-balls and the wire, however, were new additions.Â

2. If I hold option immediately while Mac is restarting screen stays black and sleep button is lid up all the time, nothing happens.
OS X :: Macbook In Panic Mode - Restarting Not Working
Mar 19, 2009i was instaling updates when the computer froze, and so I restarted it. A white screen with a bunch of jibberish appears every time I do. In the center it states " You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button."
I've tried doing both, as well as a number of key combos to restart the computer. No matter what I do, I end up with the same screen with the same message.
Now, in the background of that message.. with all of the 00x001Aie9 type of lettering is the word "panic", twice. Wondering if that may mean anything? If it's in some sort of panic mode?
MacBook Pro :: Graphics Switching Without Restarting Windowserver?
Apr 14, 2010Obviously the new Macbook Pros do not require a reboot to switch between graphics cards while the previous generation, the one which had two graphics cards made by the same company, requires a login/logout. The case made for the necessity of this login/logout has been the need for the WindowServer process to be relaunched, and to overcome this, WindowServer would need to be rewritten. Obviously that didn't happen. Further, if random Nvidia insiders are to be believed, this wasn't done using Optimus technology by Nvidia, but rather by Apple... so. How do you suppose they pulled that off?

Mar 23, 2012I have System Preferences applications like Fan Control, Apple Qmaster, and others that require the System Preferences to quit and reopen, when I click one of the apps it used to tell me it needs to quit and reopen and then it open and load the application, but now it quits and doesn't reopen, when I open it myself the same message appears that it needs to quit and reopen, and the application never opens.Â
