Have to Hard Shut Down a lot of times...

[horace528]

Hello MacRumors Forums!!
I have a problem with my Macbook Pro on Mac OS X Lion.
The Problem is normally like this: I turn on my Macbook, do some work, leave it on for some time, and when I try to click on something, it doesn't respond.
It doesn't even go to sleep! When I close the lid, and when I open it, it's still stuck.
So the only option is to hard shut down it.
hard shut down is when you push the power button for a long time, and your Mac shuts down, no matter what.
I'm putting this on Mac OS X Lion, not Macbook Pro, because it didn't act like this on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Thanks for the help!!

You're not alone. After an issue-free first few days, my old'ish MBP suffers from random system lockups (even since updating to 10.7.1). There doesn't seem to be any commonality between occurrences.

It's happened while I hovered over a link in Firefox (my MBP went to a plain, gray screen, no messages on it); system has frozen while watching a movie in MPlayerX (video just stopped, but could still hear audio but even though cursor showed, nothing was clickable & no keyboard commands worked either); and it's happened when I've simply been using Finder to move small (less than 10 MB worth of files).

Between this & wifi issues, my Lion experience has turned into something quite nasty.

OP, what year is your MBP? I have the most recent MBP and don't experience the issue you describe.

Sorry for the long wait, but my year is mid-2010.

How reliable are your network connections? Lion and many apps running under Lion don't like to be told that they can't have bits of network data that they want.
