    Not much to work with here...
    How about more info so a diagnosis and help can be formulated? Mac model (size), RAM, OS version, age, battery status? What are you doing when it happens? How often? And if you want to be really abundant, pertinent logfiles?

    Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

    sonjadg,
    you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update  to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.

    Sounds to me like you may have gotten a machine with hardware issues, but it's hard to say.  It will shut down if it gets too hot, but that's not a normal occurrence.  I have never seen a MacBook Pro shut down due to heat, even after lengthy 3D gaming sessions where the fans are running fast and the bottom of the machine is unpleasant to touch.
    First thing I would try to do is reset the SMC.  If that doesn't help, erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch, which you should always do with a used machine anyway.
    If a fresh system doesn't help, you'll need to get it checked out by Apple.
    Edit: Oh, and sig is absolutely right...  please don't post in all caps!  It's very irritating.

    Once you have successfully done that you can go ahead and choose Erase and Sync when you plug your iPod in.

    If you didn't have "Find My Mac" enabled under the iCloud System Preferences pane, there's likely no way to trace your machine over the Internet.

  • My brand new mac book pro, which I've only turned on about 20 times since I purchased it, start making a loud constant clicking noise today -- it sounded like a combination of a computer notification tone and a weird druming sound.  What's the problem?

    my brand new mac book pro, which I've only turned on about 20 times since I purchased it, start making a loud constant clicking noise today -- it sounded like a combination of a computer notification tone and a weird druming sound.  What's the problem?
    Is this thing a piece of junk?  My MacBook Air is running fine.  I've literally only charged the MacBook Pro battery a handful of times -- it's brand new.

    At these prices don't screw around.  Just call applecare to arrange an appointment at the nearest apple store. 
    Alternatively post in the Macbook Pro forum.  This is the Mac Pro forum.

  • I killed a MacBook Pro. Shutdown with flash in drive and now it won't start at all.

    I may have killed my MacBook Pro OS X by accidentally restarting  with  a Flash Drive it it and now it won't start at all.  Any ideas?

    So it is powering on. You did not state that before. In that case:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Also see this if above doesn't work:
    Install OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should install the original version of OS X that came on the machine.

  • 2007 Mac Book pro Shuts down at startup attempt. Tried reloading OSX and will not start up after that.

    My Mac Book Pro started having issues. I tried to relaod the operating system and it worked for a moment. When I tried to do a time machine back up it failed.
    Now itr Shuts down at startup attempt. Tried reloading OSX and will not start up after that.

    Dr.Conga,
    did you try to do a Time Machine backup from your MacBook Pro, or a Time Machine restoration to it?
    Are you trying to reload your current version of OS X (10.7.4, to judge from your signature), or are you trying to reload the version of Mac OS X that came on the grey installation DVDs that originally came with your MacBook Pro?

  • Mac book pro shuts down playing COD2

    i've been playing COD2 for a while on my G5, but poor frame rates got me trying my mac book pro... was quite happy to find frame rates 2X or 3X better than my G5.. however, after i play the game for 15 minutes or so the mac book pro just shuts off.
    i figured it was a heat-related problem, so i went out and bought one of those cooling fans that you sit the laptop on... but that has done no good whatsoever....
    i get between 10 mins and 30 mins of playing before the mac book pro just shuts off.
    sometimes it gets hot, sometimes not.. sometimes it's even shutting off without the fans kicking in..
    anyone have any insight? please help!
    thanks

    My "battery problem" started exactly like that. When I was playing a game my MBP suddenly shut down. First, after an hour of game play, then half an hour, then after ten minutes finally at start-up.
    Until my MBP just started acting out even if I wasn't playing and finally refused to even boot up on battery or then just shut down immediately after I removed the power cord.
    Chances are your problem is something else, but it might not be. I just got my battery replaced yesterday, haven't tried to play on it yet. Otherwise it works.

  • Mac Book Pro shuts down suddenly

    I have been using my mac book pro without problems. All of a sudden I cant move the mouse anymore and the computer shuts down. It will restart itself with a message that reads something like your computer is restarting in 15 seconds or so but click anywhere to get in. Its just weird. I dont see any problems other than it does say I need to service battery. So is this the intial problem or is it something else? What can I do? Am I damaging my computer if I need a new battery? Help please....!

    first if you are getting message that your battery needs service, you want to get it looked at either by going to apple store or service provider.
    try doing an SMC reset, the following article tells how:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    after this reset restart the computer and see if it works normally if it doesn't see below.
    second regarding the restart of your computer, it could be a kernel panic. the following article tells how to troubleshoot this issue:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742
    if after following this article the mac continues to restart try running the apple hardware test to see if there is a hardware issue:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
    if none of the above steps resolve your issue i would take to apple store or service provider to have it serviced.

  • Why won't my Mac Book Pro shut down?

    My Mac Book pro isn't shuttting down. I've clicked the apple icon on the left > shutdown. But nothing happens it just shows this rainbow wheel for a few  seconds. I can't also control my volume and screen brightness with my keys any more and system preferences is not responding.. Help! Please!
    Thank you!

    Alright.., I will try this and hope i´ll do it right. My (a little older ) MacBook Pro has the same problem, it just wont shut down. Things works kind of fine until I shall shut it down, cause then the wheel will spin and spin and spin (and it goes to sleep still spinning), so it must be some corrupted files or app that is stuck. I just bought MacOs10.6.3 to reinstall or recover the harddrive, but I´ve never done these things on a Mac before. I have formated in Windows alright, but I am worried about the drivers, I dont know how to back them up! ??? Where do I find them? I hope I dont have to wipe the disc out fully, that it helps with just some cleaning up. I will come back after my "operation".. please wish me good luck! I really dont want it to crash completely.. Thank you for all the information I had here. See you soon.. '

  • Mac book Pro shutting down by itself

    More than once when I have closed the lid to my mac book pro it shut itself down and rebooted for no reason. All I would have open is firefox or safari and when I get back I get the log in window asking for my password. I have it set to never go to sleep so I have no idea what is causing it to do this.

    I have it set to never go to sleep
    The Energy Saver preference pane settings only apply to time with the lid open. Regardless, it will go to sleep when you close the lid, unless you have deactivated that via Terminal commands or 3rd party hacks.
    and when I get back I get the log in window asking for my password
    Are you sure it reboots? If you close the lid, go away, then come back and it asks for your login password, maybe in System Preferences > Security the require password to wake from sleep is checked...
