I have a PowerPC G4.OSX 10.4.11 is updated yet the finder crashes upon start up, requiring a restart by holding down the power button. Ran Disk Utility which reports no problems.I am sure the two are related. . . Mail often crashes. For the past few days I noticed I am not receiving any mail however I am able to send mail. The Connection Doctor says everything is fine.
View 5 RepliesI have bought this Mac six moths ago. Now for unknown reason, it crashes when it starts booting. Before it crashes, it shows the Apple logo, then it shows the Apple logo with a loading bar. I guess it try's to restore the system... I don't know. But when the loading bar starts loading, the computer crashes.

Everytime I start skype while in windows, the computer crashes and I get the blue screen... I think it has to do with the sound drivers, because when I'm using msn messenger also in windows suddenly the microphone mutes itself.
I tryed updating the realtek drivers with no help, updated skype, no help, I uninstalled the realtek drivers and the laptop did not crash anymore but I had no sound, any advice like for example how to get the microsoft drivers to work on the laptop without using realtek??
For whatever reason with the microsoft drivers,I think the sound is trying to come out of the digital outlet, I can see the ligth inside the jack, but nothing comes out of the laptop's speakers...
By the way, the vista version is Home basic.
I have a late 2009 Mac Mini with 8GB of OCZ 1333 RAM and an Intel X25-M 160GB SSD. Running 10.6 fully updated and installed from scratch.I have been getting out of the blue crashes while the system is most of the times idle. Can it be the RAM? It's reported fine as 8GB 1333 DDR under the system info. The Intel SSD runs latest firmware.
This is the log from the last crash which happened a little ago.

My computer won't turn on. Earlier today while playin music it just paused itself. I minute later it resumed. Then tonight it just shut off instead of sleeping and now it won't start. All I can get if I'm lucky is the start up chime and a super quick flash of a white screen.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst off, let me explain the position I am in. I have the newest 13in MacBook with a 2.4Ghz hard drive. I installed Windows Vista on it recently after I got it. Many times while using Vista, all audio would stop and be replaced with crackling sounds. This would continue until I restarted. I tried going to Dell, downloading drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n WiFi Adapters and installing those, but that caused a worse problem. Windows can no longer find any networks, and when I select the Broadcom WiFi Adapters in Device Manager, it says "This device cannot start." and says it's Code 10 or something.

My computer is a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Version 10.7.3, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4GB memory. Start-up has become somewhat erratic. Consistently, if I close the lid on the computer it won't restart when I reopen it. I'll have to hold the power button down for about 15 seconds, let up and then press it again. Sometimes restarting after a shutdown the computer will go through the long start-up I associate with a crash shutdown. Sometimes login start-up items don't start up. Sometimes I have to click somewhere on the screen to make the menu bar at the top of the screen visible. Overall, unexpected things keep happening. Although I don't think it probably relates, Chrome is my primary browser.

My start up disk is my hard drive.Â
Whenever I take the hard drive out my laptop just stops working and it's back to normal when I put the hard drive in, is there a way for me to use my laptop without having to physically have my start up disk (hard drive) plugged into my laptop?
Macbook Pro can't start up beyond the grey start up screen. There's a spinning wheel and bar that moves to 1/4 before Macbook Pro shuts down automatically.

I have the app called "SimpleTask" set to start-up when i turn my Mac on. The icon is just in the top taskbar. The problem is that when i turn my Mac on the window of the app comes up on my desktop and then i have to manually minimize it every time. Is there a way to have it start-up minimized in the taskbar from the start so i dont have to do it manually? There is no option for this in the preferences. There has to be a way to do it thou.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy lovely pro has decided that occasionally it doesn't like the idea of starting from sleep and sometimes won't boot up.
The fan runs at full blast (I think it's the CPU fan), a black screen and the power button on the front glows. I don't have any external drives attached, no stat programs running in the background except little snitch. Generally I close all programs before I leave my desk. After I hard reboot, I get a "do you want to send this to apple?" dialogue, with the errors pointing to the nvidia 8800gt. I don't have the full detail of the error box, I'll post it next time it happens.
I've zapped the pram, run the apple diagnostic and unplugged everything to reset the SMC or whatever it is.
About 1/2 of my wakes from sleep, and about 1 in 4 times when starting exhibit this.
I am not 100% sure what the offical name of the start up noise is when you turn on your Macbook, however that is all I am geeting when I turn it on. I push the power button, it makes that start up noise of the disc drive... sits... and makes the noise again... sits... makes the noise again and so on and so on. The screen doesnt change at all, just blackness. I was able to start it up once with the start up disc and I thought that was the fix, so before going to sleep I powered down. Woke up the next morning same old bs AND it will not start up off the disc again. Another time after letting it sit and try to boot up for awhile (30mins) it finally did! However after 20-30 mins the screen kind of flickered and then everything froze. Can't get it to turn on at all now. Just that noise over and over and over and over again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI thought this problem might be related to the SMB issues that everyone is having in 10.6.3, but I've tried most of those SMB fixes and nothing works. Here's what happens, I have a shortcut to my Win 7 share, I launch it and a window opens, drive shows up on the desktop and sometimes icons show up sometimes they don't. Trying to copy anything is out of the question, the copy will just fail. Even going through the finders GO menu will screw it up.
I am currently directly connected to my PC, was connected through a switch before, made no difference, nor should it. Strange thing about the windows box is that it will be responsive until I try to open anything, and then it will just go into an infinite loop and require a hard reboot. I did briefly get it working, enables the smb.conf extensions off item, did a repair disk, did a full onyx clean and somehow it worked for a day. Now it's totally hosed again. And yes, this started happening right when I updated to 10.6.3!

I have a 1,1 Mac Pro running 10.7.3 . Has 11 GB of RAM and a ATI Radeon HD 5770 two 1.5TB hard drives and two 55GB hard drives. Everything else is factory.Â
The past few weeks it has been acting weird for the first time ever.Â
I first noticed that it would no longer launch Aperture because it said the grahpics card did not meet minimum requirements. In iTunes, it won't show videos (just blank screen) or album artwork. It won't load any kind of installer app. It won't load system preferences. It won't load the console. It will load the terminal. Won't load Safari. Will load Mail.Â
The computer itself seems to be running at around half the normal 'speedyness'.Â
I've tried downloading the OS X install update to 10.7.3 to install, but the install crashes. I've tried downloading the safari update and it crashes. I tried downloading Lion again through app store and it crashes when I get to the password screen. Every option I have to try and get my computer back up.... it crashes.Â

When trying to burn a CD in Itunes it crashes and asks if you would like to restart it.
Not the factory CD: But as stated above does work outside of Itunes.
Music is not locked either
Any Ideas anyone.
P.S Please note I have been told? This could be an issue with Itunes 9.2.1 not liking O/S 10.4.1 can anyone confirm.
Also I am thinking about getting a power G5 Desktop would I have this problem running O/S 10.4 and Itunes 9.2.1
So I'm new in this forum and I've got a HUGE problem with Youtube and my iBook G4 that started recently.
Whenever I enter to Youtube and start loading any video, the system crashes, not only Safari but any application that is open at the time.
I've uninstalled and installed Flash Player, updated the system and Safari as well as tried using another browser (Firefox) with no results.
When I disable Javascript from Safari the system does not crash and another thing I noticed is that I can watch embedded videos on other pages but not directly on Youtube.
I have a 2008 iMac running OSX 10.6.5, 2.66Ghz Intel, 2 gig ram. I'm getting random blue screen crashes at least weekly. I don't have any hardware connected except an iomega external hd for Time Machine (and of course a keyboard and mouse). I'm never doing anything exceptional when it crashes. Usually just internet browsing (Chrome) or word processing (NeoOffice). The screen just suddenly goes gray/blue and I have to force it to shut down with the power switch.
I upgraded to Snow Leopard at the same time I installed Windows 7 (Boot Camp) and purchased the external hd. The problems started around that time. I have since wiped the disk and reinstalled both OSs, but am still facing the same problem.
Since a couple of weeks I am facing weird crashes on my 8core Mac Pro (May 2007). They happen from time to time. Sometimes directly after starting up, sometimes there are no crashes for a couple of days.
I bought a MacPro 2.8 Octo in Jan 08 but have had a few problems in daily use (e.g. using Safari, Mail, EyeTV (often recording to HD at the same time - but problem remains when EyeTV is off), Word '08, iTunes - on average 6+ open at anyone time).When I do normal day to day stuff there is often a long lag/crashes (Safari crashes the most). Things like Finder take a longer time than on other Macs I've tried (.e.g 07 Macbook & iMac) to load quick previews.
On www.retouchartists.com speed test it took 3 times as long as an older MacPro Intel Xeon 4x2.66 with the same setup of 2gb RAM and factory HD, so it IS slow right?Is it becase I have no extra RAM? (I have kept it at 2gb as it came when bought)Is it that the HD that comes with is slow (or so I've read?)?Or it because I need to reinstall Leopard?Don't get me wrong, I love this beast, I just am having troubles when I'm doing daily stuff.
