my macbook pro 2006 fan goes high and then makes a fast beep and shuts down it been happening since i updated it should i update to lion?
No, this problem should be solved.
The MBP shuts down when too hot, to protect itself. First see if it is a process running astray: start Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities) choose <all processes> and click the %CPU column: are there processes that are using more than 50% cpu power? If yes click it and quit it, and tell us which one.

Start up Disk full and MacBook Pro won't reboot. Only white screen but can sleep, restart, shut down.
Reboot into Safe Mode (hold the shift key down at the sound of the chime, release when the progress bar appears) Safe Mode will take longer to boot than normal.

My S5 shuts down on its own with no warning, no rhyme or reason. It attempts to factory reboot when it does it too! It freezes up at least once a week and becomes a $600 worthless brick. This has all been happening since day two that I got it. Went back to Verizon store and they told me nothing was wrong with my phone and they would not replace it. I'm at my wit's end. HELP!
BambieS5,
Sorry to hear about your trouble with the s5! Does the trouble that you are having persist in Safe Mode? http://vz.to/1xp1XUi . Does the battery have any signs of cracking, corrosion or swelling?

MacBook Pro A1126 fans goes 'crazy'
My MacBook Pro A1126 fan makes a lot of noise when I use it for intense gaming for hours,
My Mac specs
OS - Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4 & Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit ( Boot Camp )
Processor - 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory - 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM ( Originally 2 GB, upgraded to 4 GB )
Graphics - NVIDIA GeFore 8600M GT 128 MB
How do I stop the fan noise or at least reduce the noise,by the way it's from the left fan & there are two fans in the MacBook Pro...
Thanks in advance!Games use a lot of CPU/GPU resources and that creates a lot of heat The fans are supposed to spin faster in order to dissipate that heat. It sounds that what you are experiencing is normal.
If one fan is significantly louder than the other, Courcoul's advice should be taken.
Since you have a 6 year old MBP, it may be a good idea to open it up and see if there is dust, dirt and debris inside that should be cleaned out. That could have a very positive affect in the cooling process.

Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo initiates spontaneous start up from shut down
Peculiar behavior from a "new to me" Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo . Having purchased this from a local chap , I have begun to personalise the device , naturally . I have come across this profoundly unreasonable behavior , if it can be called anything a "Spontanious Start Up" will do for now . Occurring after employing a software shutdown , being previously removed from a power source , this has now twice resulted in indirectly observing that the computer spontaniously started up while I was away from it . This is about the extent of individualistic behavior exercised by the device that I am aware of in its less than one week of welcome into the house .
There is a cat whose legerdemain lies in eating , sleeping , biting , shedding fur , and occasionally reminding mice who is the predator . Smokies interests though vital have not been , aside from attractively swinging , feckless wires , directed towards learning about computers .
If there is an explanation I would certainly be edified in entertaining a cause as none , practically , are apparent to me . Aside from evil malware commanding the computer to do its bidding I have no plausible idea .
That this seems quite contrary to ordinary domestic electronic device behaviors , with no results in an identical google search . This issue strikes me as presenting a possible unfriendly , specifically unwanted , idiosyncracies .
Thank you for taking the time to read this . FRPIt might deteriorate until the button doesn't work at all, or it might not. It will just be annoying in the mean time.
As far as the console logs go, I've never been able to identify this particular issue by trawling through them. And I think the reason for that is that it just logs it as Power On / Shutdown.
Aside from that there really isn't anything I can think of that would help you diagnose this problem further. -
That's all I can tell you because that is all it says.
Did you find a solution?
Same problem over here as well, FF 7 is ok but FF8 / FF9 and Thunderbird 8 / 9 crash on startup.
They both work if I start them in safe mode with everything enabled. -
MacBook Pro's fans start running at high speed when the computer is asleep. Normal?
The other night, my MacBook Pro's fans started running at high speed when the computer was asleep. Loud enough to wake me up. And this just kept on going until I finally decided to turn the computer off. Is this normal? Is this anything to worry about?
This is not normal. See if a SMC reset solves the problem:

How can I tell if my fan on MacBook Pro is working properly? It seems to be running often and the laptop feels hot!
Isn't it awesome that after you spend 2500$ + on a laptop you need to also become a computer technician in order to keep it working. The fan in my MacBook Pro runs all the time and the computer is also very hot all the time. I always try to make sure it's not sitting on a flat surface that might make it run hotter. I'm running 10.6.8. Is there anything I can do to fix this? When should the fan be running? Should it run when I have more than one program running at a time? Is the MacBook Pro designed to only run one program at time? At the moment I'm watching a show via Firefox. There are no other programs running, the computer is raised off the table, the fan is running at about half the speed it usually does, moments ago the fan was going full bore. Google Browser was open, iTunes was open, text edit was open, but none of them being used - I was using Firefox and watching a movie online with browser window on fullscreen. Anyone got any suggestions? Should I just enroll into a university and begin my studies as computer technician?

Hello there everybody! I have installed Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2006 15' without any problems, and without any modification. I did hear that some users couldn't install it, but I have got it working fine with BootCamp 4.0.1 on Lion. So anyways, when I boot into Windows, there is no soudn, and there is also a Red Light coming from the Earphone/Headphone jack.
What should I do? This problem is really ticking me off because I only insalled Windows to lay some games my friend recommended to me. With no sound, it would be really strange playing them, especially Mass Effect.Well I / we always kind of assume that someone did all the normal basics first and is still having trouble. And read the instructions in Boot Camp Assistant.
For reference purpose to anyone

Choose the method for:

If this does not help, you may have to take the MBP to the Apple Store to have it checked.

I have a 13in macbook pro 2006. Playing videos using youtube or VLC(or the like) produces a very choppy effect. This start and stop condition just appeared. Anything I can do to remedy the condition or do I need to buy a new computer?
Since most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin, uninstall then reinstall the plugin > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS

I did force shutdown on my MacBook Pro (2006 year, 15.4"), so, when I tried to boot, it shows apple logo (as usual) and shuts down. When I booting MacBook with Option key pressed it shows lock icon and field for password. Please help me.
Wait for advice on repairing a damaged filesystem. Forceshutdown stops processs in mid-stream and leaves some parts not-valid.
Do not proceed until you get that avice.
