WoW crashes every time I get into combat

I am fine running around in the city, or anywhere else, but every time I get into combat and start to fight, WoW crashes. Happened four or five times while I was trying to do heroics until I gave up. I then went just outside SW to test it and as soon as I went to attack a deer WoW froze. I must force quit wow in order to get out of it.

This is a very old crash log, 12.31.2010. Are there any more recent ones?

Also, does it only happen when you enter combat? I was experiencing the same behavior last night on my computer at home.

Often, this behavior is heat-related. You may want to try the SMCFanControl software found here:

This will allow you to manually monitor temps and adjust your fan speeds accordingly.

Also, try typing this into your in-game chat:

/console maxfps 30

That will limit the load on your video card, hopefully keeping it cooler.

If all of the above fails, I would recommend running the Apple Hardware Test. You will need to have the original disc your computer was shipped with mounted in the drive. Hold down the "D" key while rebooting to get into the Apple Hardware Test from the choices.

I'd recommend an extended test of all hardware, looping if that's possible. That will let us know for sure if there are any hardware problems. If it reports any hardware issues, you'll want to contact a local Apple Service Provider to address those.
