Should I use my Apple Care, or is there a quick fix?

I have loved and cherished my MacBook Air for two years now, but last night it went in to a reboot cycle for no apparent reason. Now every time it gets to the apple logo I get the rotating "thinking" ident under the apple logo and it restarts, continually. I did the hardware test (holding down "D".....that was fine.) I also reset the PRAM... so the troubleshooting keystrokes work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 750GB MacBook Pro and up until the other day I showed 250GB used and 500GB unused. I discovered this because the past two days my computer would just freeze and I couldn't do anything. So I ran the Disc Utility and it found some errors and fixed them. So I'm wondering if the 400GB of lost disc space now has something to do with the computer locking up? I've searched all the folders and added up their size and still come back to 250GB that I can see. So I'm assuming there's something hidden somewhere that's eating up over half my hard disc space?

ok so i suppose the inevitable had to happen. and so my mac OS X crashed badly within a few days of my getting this new MBP!
i had a short word document open in 1 workspace some firefox tabs in another, and was checking out the movies in my ext HDD (formatted with NTFS).and suddenly i start seeing this multi colored round icon which i guess is the cousin of the windows hourglass. after trying unsuccessfully to force quit, i was forced to hut down using the boot up button. yes, the same procedure that wreaks havoc on the HDD.
- so my questions are - what to do if even force quit doesn't work ? its surprising that it didn't in this case, as i have used ubuntu for almost 3 years and never had the OS crash on me! of course there were a few application crashes but the force quit always worked. and there was the keyboard shortcut - Ctrl+Alt+Del.
- also what is the norm with macs in this regard ? do they crash often and for the flimsiest of reasons as in my case ?
- probably i am not aware of the Mac OS equivalent for the Ctrl+Alt+Del function that almost always works in ubuntu. so is there some key combination that is guaranteed to work in the even that even force quit does not?
A few days ago I found that launchd was constantly using around 14% of my CPU (via iStat), which drastically lowered my battery life and caused my CPU to reach 75 degrees Celsius and higher. Initially I thought that SL just needed to do something, so I ignored it. But it has persisted for a few days now, so I decided to do something about it.
I checked the Console and nothing appeared to be repeating itself, so what I did was use MainMenu to perform a batch of system maintenance tasks, and then left my Mac on overnight to see what Console would report. Besides hourly instances of "kernel" running "iCalHelper" and "SubmitDiagInfo", there was nothing else.
However, launchd lowered its CPU usage to about 3%, but it is still constant and my CPU is still at a constant 40-50%. Activity Monitor says the following processes are (constantly) taking only 1-4% of the CPU:
coreservicesd
launchd
mds
WindowServer
disnoted
activitymonitord
...and others
The CPU is reported as 35% User and 20% System. But I am not running anything besides Activity Monitor.

My iMac ( late 2012, 27", 3.4 GHz i7, 16 GB RAM, 3TB Fusion Drive, OS X 10.10.1 ) has taken to randomly restarting for no reason that I can find. It seems to be mostly when I am not actually doing anything, but, as I say, it's random. It did it five times in about half an hour the other day, then it didn't do it for a day or so, but it just did it again, which prompted me to ask. I have run Tech Tool Pro 7, and everything has passed. I have repaired permissions ( there were lots ). What next?

I have had my MacBook for 3 years and it has run great. Recently I have noticed that my exhaust fan has been hovering around 6000 RPM for no apparent reason. When I took that screen shot I only had Safari Open. Here's the vitals on my Mac..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a hell of a time with my mac. It started out when firefox would crash for no apparent reason, asking to send in an error report and eventually it got to where mac itself would crash, turning the screen dark with a picture in the middle appearing saying "You need to restart your computer. Hold the power button down for 2+ seconds". I've tried a lot, I've repaired permissions using the disk utility, I've reinstalled Java and I even verified the disk using the disk utility which seems to be the problem. It said my mac needed the system to be repaired. Except I've got a big problem: I just moved and I don't have the apple hardware test disc, so I'm stuck. Then, today I tried to use Safari instead of Firefox and even it is crashing. This is really irritating, I thought it was a virus until I downloaded a free antivirus that said it wasn't.

I have a Mac Mini with two external WD MyBook's attached. The drive in question, is configured for Time Machine backups every four hours. It should sleep the rest of the time. But every once in a while, it wakes. I just revs up for no reason, then after a short while it goes back to sleep. It can happen when I open a folder, open a file, click a link in the browser or some other seemingly unrelated action.
I tried to untick the "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" to see if I then at least could get the drive to stay awake instead. This did not change the behavior at all.
Does anybody have a clue what I can do, to get OS X to leave that drive the hell alone, other than Time Machine??
I have had a Macbook Pro 15" for about a year now, and suddenly Skype seems to be crashing my computer. The computer has 8gb of ram with an i7 processor, so i have no idea why Skype, is suddenly crashing up my computer. Ive been using, Free Memory, to track how much ram is available on my computer at certain times, and now, when i launch Skype, it goes down to 18mb out of 8 gb. I don't know why this is happening??

I know a lot of things that have to do with computers but they are very general things. When it comes to a computer crashing, I have no idea how to find out why it happens. My late '08 Unibody MacBook has been crashing on the frequency of 2-3 times a day or so and is very frustrating! I have no idea why it's doing it, but i did copy the thing I get when it restarts. Here is the log for the last 3 times it has crashed

MacBook Pro 13-inch early 2011 running OSx 10.9.2 which shutsdown for no reason at 85-95% battery.
I found that this problem is resolved with a firmware fix by applying the latest version of OS to Maverick.
What is the current version of OS for my system? How much memory can I put on this computer?
Currently have 2-2MB chips on it. Can I replace those with 2-4MB chips for a total of 8MB to make it faster?

Up until about a month ago I never had a problem with my 2011 MB pro. Then it started randomly shutting down and not starting back up when I plugged anything into the usb slot. I looked online and found that the solution was to unplug the battery connecter to the motherboard and plug it back in. And it worked! I had to do that a couple times and the problem seemed to go away until yesterday. Â
It just randomly shut itself down without plugging anything into the usb slot so I opened it up and did it again. Once it turned back on it started acting funny...just a flashing globe on the grey screen. After awhile I finally got it to start up slowly into my actual system. It seemed fine for the most part but a few things were kinda funny. The screen would randomly dim itself all the way like I was manually doing it and trying to use the backlit keyboard buttons would also dim the screen all the way. Plus it was still rebooting into that globe which would take forever to start up to my desktop. I tried to use disc utilities to repair and check for errors but it wasn't finding any errors. Â
Finally I decided to back everything up and just do a fresh mavericks install. It ended up getting stuck on the install...which I believe is because I forgot to erase the disc first. So I rebooted to safe mode and erased it, then tried another install. When I came back to it an hour later all it was doing was booting to the apple logo and then shutting off and restarting. Attempting to boot into safe mode was bringing up some weird script in the upper left corner before it shut back down.Â
I should also note that if it froze and I had to do I hard shut down using the power button I had to unplug that battery connecter to be able to turn it back on. Finally I got the recovery mode and once again the scan turned up no errors so I decided to erase and reinstall again. Lo and behold it shut itself down halfway through the erase and now all I get is a flashing folder with a question mark....cant go into recovery or anything.

Since installing Mavericks I have found that lots of basic tasks have become a bit difficult.Â
One such frustrating example of this is whenever I go to empty my trash folder in Mail it crashes. If I select it through the menu (ie. <Mailbox> <Erase Deleted Items> <In All Accounts>) it works fine but I like to do a quick check before emptying the trash and that seems to cause my Mac to implode into a processing black-hole of burning lava (it gets hot until I <Force Quit>).Â

I have a Gmail and Exchange accounts set up in the Mail app,...The Gmail account is working fine, but suddenly today (with no setting changes or updates) when I select certain messages in the exchange account, it crashes Mail with the below trace. It only happens on some message and not others. I can't find any distinction between the crashing messages and the ok ones. Note that I have already tried rebuilding mailboxes and even deleting the entire account and re-adding it. The problem persists and makes it impossible to use Mail as my Exchange client.
