• (El Capitan 10.11.5) MacBook Pro keeps freezing

  Hello Apple community. So my MacBook Pro freezes constantly and loading things very slowly. It freezes during 10 or minutes at a time, but other times, it is quite well. I recently wiped this MacBook and transferred to the demands of my old MacBook, which has never had these problems. Posted below is my Etrecheck.

  There are several things to consider:

  It is a five year old computer, problems are bound to happen sooner or later, so get ready to tha.

  First of all, you need to maybe bad RAM. Agents of the launch system, System launch Daemon and your virtual memory information imply that something is eating all of your ram. 4 GB is not much, but it should be more than enough unless it no longer works properly.

  My second comment would be the hard drive. Generally, a rotating disc is not a long life in a laptop, being pushed around when the laptop is turned on and was moving. It is possible that you have bad blocks.

  Thirdly, it could be your battery. Plain and simple, a dying battery.

  The best option at this point would be to make an appointment at the Apple Store and run an MRI (Mac resource Inspection) to detect what can go wrong.

• MacBook Pro keeps freezing after update to Mountain Lion

  I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion since Snow leopard. I use a late 2008 Macbook Pro. Since the upgrade, I'm randomly crashes when you use most of the applications (logic x, VLC, QuickTime) it also freezes when using Mozilla. When it freezes I don't get the option to force quit if I continue to use the power to close button. I really want to continue to use Mountain Lion, because I use several applications up-to-date as logic x and is also compatible with my external sound card. I enclose a newspaper of being as recommended check on some posts here. Any help would be great and thanks in advance

  Hello billy.

  When point to Mountain Lion? When say 'freeze' you mean the kernel panics? You get a multilingual you requiring window on the eve of your Mac? Your EtreCheck report shows 3 kernel panics. They were before or after you updated to Mountain Lion? If your machine has been seen panicking the kernel before, then it might be a hardware problem. If these panics are new since the Mountain Lion, then it is likely an incompatibility with one of your extensions to core 3rd part. She can relate to those who show 'loaded' in your report of EtreCheck, but it could involve other extensions too, depending on what hardware or software is used.

• MacBook pro keeps freezing

  My macbook pro (early 2015) has been working great until about a week ago. It started freezing and now it done very often. IM do not receive a beachball, the mouse pointer remains the same. Im having to restart it manually each time by holding down the power button. This problem began only after I have updated to the version OS X EL capitan 10.11.4. 80 GB of free space so I don't think it's a problem.

  All solutions?

  Thank you

  I had this problem too, like many other people (there is several messages and discussions already). Seems to happen more often with Mac in 2015.

  There is nothing to do. I tried a clean install of El Capitan with full SSD erased and 10.11.4 combo update, it did not help; my macbook pro 13 2015 keeps freezing with Safari.

  It is related to Safari or a framework/driver related to the browser.

  Apple has to fix. Just use Firefox or Chrome.

• My Macbook Pro keeps freezing for short periods

  Hello

  A new problem started with my Macbook pro in recent weeks. Initially, it was rare, but now he continues to be all a few minutes (it happened as I type this). What is happening is that my current application freezes for a few seconds, then returns to normal, and then the screen freezes. I'll expand a bit: while I'm typing this, suddenly the Safari froze and I just kept typing on, and when I use any action (like a slide four fingers), it works, but will not pass to the other window/app. After that, the kind of display of speeds upward, as it's contagious back in real time after the break (if I'm on vlc, TI video speed looks like 4 x, all the letters, I typd in pages apper as if Im typing God-speed). Then, a few seconds later, the computer will completely freeze, not to accept any user input and then resume as nothing has happened about 5 seconds later. This has happened very often now (I counted 3 times while I typed this place).

  Please help me on what I should try to do to solve this problem. Initially, I thought it was a problem of RAM so I borrowed my Mac mini and inserted in my Macbook RAM. He worked as always for about a day, before returning to the State of the problem.

  Data sheet:

  MacBook Pro 15 "Early 2011 model

  10.10.5 MacOS (Yosemite)

  I7 2 GHz

  4 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3 RAM (replaced by 1067 MHz RAM of the Mac Mini for a day)

  Graphics Intel HD 3000 384

  Any other information that you think will be useful, I'll add it.

• MacBook Pro wifi hardware not installed after update of El Capitan

  Hello

  I connected my macbook this morning to find that I had a gray wifi symbol with an x through it saying ' wifi: no hardware installed '. I'm taking in the Apple Store to be looked at in a few days, but only I was wondering if anyone in this community has experienced a similar issue that has an easy solution so that I can return to the top and run. It worked all fine until this morning.

  Ive updated to El Capitan - 10.11.1

  I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch retina end 2012

  Thanks in advance

  This means that the two Wi - Fi drivers are damaged or that your wireless card has stopped working.

  A good way to find out what the problem is to start up in OS X Recovery in now pressed the command keys so much R during start up your Mac to the top. Once your Mac is turned on, look at the Wi - Fi icon in the upper right and see if you can choose any Wi - Fi network. If so, reinstall OS X.

  However, if you can not choose any network, it is probably a hardware problem, so you have to take your Mac to an Apple Retail Store or dealer to get the Wi - Fi card replaced.

• I have Acrobat XI fully implemented to update and it keeps freezing and crashing.

  I have Acrobat XI fully implemented to update and it keeps freezing and crashing. Many times it happens when I try to save but to do other things as well.  I'm on Windows 8.1

  Hello jegohio,

  Please let me know what version of the operating system you are using.

  You are able to open Acrobat itself? For Windows, you can try the following steps:

  Delete all the files in the following folders:

  C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\SLCache

  And delete all of the following except cache.db file

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\ Adobe PCD

  Launch Acrobat and turn on again with the serial number.

  Let me know how it goes.

  Kind regards

  Hello Kluggerjo,

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

  I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

  If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

  If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.
  -Best regards

• MacBook Pro in 2012... issue update?

  Hello

  So I just put a 480 GB SSD in my MacBook Pro mid-2012, and I've also upgraded the RAM 16 GB a few weeks ago.

  Everyone keeps telling me that it is not possible to upgrade the processor. Is this correct? Is it because the CPU is soldered to the motherboard?

  Thing I can do to upgrade my MacBook Pro 2012? Very curious.

  Thank you.

  Yes, move to 10.11.4.

• Satellite C660-11K - keeps freezing and unable to access the windows

  Recently purchased by Satellite C660 11 K and load a game on it, after a few hours it froze (ctrl alt del wouldn't work) I stopped and he started up and I got a message saying some software or hardware was the stoppage of work Windows.

  I restored it to factory with the recovery disk. However, I have not loaded all the games or other software since then, but it keeps freezing, and I had to use the drive recovery 3 times!
  I don't know what else to try!

  What happen exactly when you use own OS preinstalled?
  What do you do when your computer crashes?

• I have a Macbook Pro 2015 retina and I wonder how the cycles of battery are calculated?

  I have a Macbook Pro 2015 retina and I wonder how the cycles of battery are calculated?

  If I load to 100% and then run it down on battery to 0% of course it counts as a battery cycle.

  If I recharge to 90% and run up to 5% or 10%, which count as a battery sprays?     Between what % are there?

  The reason I ask is that I try to keep the cumulative battery cycle count down.

  Thank you

  Whenever he finishes a full charge, it's a cycle.  If you charge 70% one day, then 30% another day, it's a cycle.

  The Apple site, I posted above, it explains very clearly.

  A cycle is counted when the battery has completed a 100% charge, not a discharge.

• Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

  I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

  I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

  Thank you

  Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
  In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

  I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

  Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

  Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.
