Random Shutdown plagues Macbook Pro C2D as well?

Hello everyone,
I know the Macbooks suffer from random shutdowns, but I thought this issue was fixed in the recent models. Apparently, it's still a problem since my brand new macbook pro core 2 duo exhibits random shutdowns when it gets too hot. Yes, I have all my stuff up to date. No, the new firmware does not apply to the Core 2 Duo MBPs.
My question is, is this still a known problem? I haven't really hard of Macbook Pros suffering from this, is this also common with Macbook Pros?
My Macbook does not get extremely hot to the touch, contrary to some of the "Hot" threads on this board. But, I guess it's enough to short the circuit that causes immediate shutdowns. It's easy enough to avoid, but I'd like to push my Macbook to it's fullest without worry of shutdown.

Well, this is what I've found out ...don't know if that will mean anything to you, but does not seem very good to me. Note that this was prior to the date I received my MBP.

First Crash --> computer suddenly OFF !
i've had 5 or six crashes since I received my MBP on Nov. 15th. Apple told me it must be a hardware problem. I have other stuff to read from the console if you're interested caus' quite frankly this does not make a lot of sense to me.

Random shutdown 2011 macbook pro

My Early 2011 Macbook Pro keeps randomly turning off suddenly. The battery is no where near empty and is still stated to be in good "health." Does anyone have idea what the problem could be?

I'd like to know the answer to this too, my 2008 model has been doing it also. I am about to install a new SSD, back up and refresh everything.
I take it you're working in audio?

Random Shutdown of MacBook Pro

I have had a problem with random shutdowns. For my computer, it will randomly shut down when I am running off the batter power, even when the battery is fully charged. It will only turn on again if I connect the charger and then press the power button. I went to the apple store and they archived and reinstalled leopard, and this seemed to fix the problem for a few days, but now, 4 days later, I have the same problem. Is it a hardware problem or just a power management software glitch?

Hiya,
I had a similar problem, that is, my macbookpro would shut down when the laptop was not switched on, at first when the battery was ~20%-30% and then later on even at ~70%-80%.
It was giving me no warnings whatsoever and after the improper shutdowns the machine would take ages to boot up to the OS.
Prior to that happening, my laptop would never wake up after a sleep, especially when it wasn't plugged in. Safe sleep wasn't working, clamshell mode was causing the laptop to wake up intermittently, the "Automatically adjust brightness when light conditions changes" kept resetting itself and a lot more which I cant honestly remember. After being so impatient, I took the mac to the genius bar. It was about a month before its warranty would expire. The guy there, thankfully a very helpful guy had dealt with the same problem before and he said that it is most likely that the logic board/battery need to be replaced.
They said I would ve had a replacement brand new laptop if it was bought from the same country, but as I had bought it from the States and took it to an Apple Store in London this was not possible under Apple's policy.
About a week later, one of their technicians called me to go pick it up. Half an hour later, he calls again telling me not to go as they had found some problems when they were running their Diagnostic Tests. Eventually after having changed the logic board, the battery the I/O power unit, and installing a brand new hard disk, the laptop was causing problems.
The result : I was offered a new laptop.
Hope this helps.
P.S this all happened about two weeks ago.

MacBook Pro C2D Wireless issues after 10.4.10 - issue pin pointed !

I have a MacBook Pro C2D which has started to do random disconnects from my WLAN.
I am running the latest Tiger 10.4.10
No matter if I use the network connection actively by surfing, chatting, listening to netradio, downloading or if it is just idle, it randomly disconnects. Sometimes after 30 mins, sometimes after several hours.
It never reconnects it selves until I do it manually. But then it has no problem reconnecting.
It is quite annoying, especially since I sometimes run services like a web server (for development reasons) and sometimes want to download large files using either http, ftp or bittorrent. But I cannot trust it to finish the downloads, as it randomly disconnects.
It haven't always done these things. It has started occurring after the last couple of updates from Apple I think (don't remember excatly when).
I have 3 different accesspoints with different wireless chip sets, but it occurs on all of them. Also I have a couple of PC Laptops that dosn't have this problem on my network.
I pinned my issue to one specific setting in my wireless router.
In WPA mode, this setting affects the stability of my link:
ReAuthentication Timer
It is normally set to 1800 secs (30 mins) - and this makes my MBP disconnect every - yes - 30 mins...almost. Sometimes it tend to survive the interval.
The valid range is 10-9999 seconds in my router.
If set to 10 secs, it almost disconnects all the time - every 10 secs.
If set to 9999 I can work some hours without disconnects (my guess is 9999 secs, or 166 mins).
It seems like some update from Apple in the 10.4.10 release, efficiently broke the WPA encryption implementation of ReAuthentication.
It makes no difference to switch between WPA and WPA2.
Has anyone found a way to fix this from the OS X end, instead of compromising security on the Access Point end?

Whilst I don't personally have the same problem reported here, that's a pretty offensive reply.
You might want to spend a bit of time here
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1135&start=0
and let these people know that they have the best router in the business and that all their computers are working great before advising people to forget about trying to get to the root cause of an issue and spend a load of money instead.
I got a bit frustrated with a post on this forum a little while ago and posted a snotty reply. The original poster called me on it and told me that I didn't have to reply, once I thought about it, I realised the OP was correct and apologised.
Are you big enough to do the same?
Best of luck.

Macbook pro c2d LOUD

I just bought a Macbook pro c2d and I'm ******. I replaced my whisper quiet Imac 2.0 core duo so I can have mobility and a fast mac all in one. At first I felt like I hit pay dirt! The mbp 2.33 15" model is as sleek, cool, and fast as you can want.
Unfortunetaly for me though I'm not just looking to surf the net with a nearly $3,000 machine. I actually want to do work on it.
When running Logic Pro and doing some processor intensive tasks my quiet laptop fans turn into jet engine turbines. So loud that I can't even think of using a microphone anywhere near this laptop. They quiet down rather quickly after whatever is taxing the cpu is done but while they are on they are LOUD.
Does anyone else have this issue that would like to comment?
Is it being addressed?
Should I sell this thing?
Inquiring minds want to know...

download one of the fan control programs. You can set
the fans to behave differently as well as observe
what they are turning at any given point. You might
be able to isolate one of them as being louder.
Mine are the same noise level.
its possible your fans are defective or something. My
fans run usually from 3000 to 5000 revs and never
loud enough I could not talk on skype etc.
call applecare and see what they say
Thanks for the advice. I downloaded smc fancontrol 1.23.
My fans seem to be working just fine though. What I mean by fine is that they seem to be working the way Apple intended them to.
They turn on in the 80's and cool the machine down fast. When the cpu is at idle (46) it's quiet. My fans at this point are 2000 rpm and don't bother me at all.
I don't see how anyone can use a microphone though when they are at 6000 rpm.
I imagine when you're using skype your computer is not being tasked that much so I don't think you'd have this problem. But, when playing back 70 plus audio tracks, recording at the same time, massive amounts of signal processors, firewire drives, firewire audio card, and so on it raises the cpu temp and I get the jet engines.

There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
Command-Option-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and shuts the machine down.

I force shutdown my MacBook Pro and when I reopened my laptop, my files and apps are all gone.

I force shutdown my MacBook Pro by pressing the shutdown button for a long time and when I reopened my laptop, my files and apps are all gone.
When I reopened my laptop, it said that some files have been deleted or hidden (I don't know if it said hidden, I don't remember). my dock and wallpaper were set back to default.
This isn't my first time force shutting my MacbookPro.
How can I restore/recover back my stuff?
i heard time machine restores your stuff back.
And please don't tell me to go to apple because I have made an appointment with them but I'm still worried.
Please if you know anything about this please tell me anything you know.
Please help me.

Given that you sound a nervous wreck and a neophyte in matters Mac, it would be safest that you put the Mac away, go take a chill pill, grab a bite, get some rest. Then take the Mac to its scheduled appointment with Destiny, er, the Apple Genius.
There's a good possibility of data loss and munging around unknowing, following instructions that will probably be hard to grasp will only increase the amount of damage.

How Necessary is PRAM battery on MacBook Pro (c2d intel 2.13, model a1211)

Hello Everyone, I stupidly broke the socket/clip where the pram battery attaches to the logic board on my Macbook Pro (c2d Intel 2.13). Unfortunately, since the socket/clip is a surface mount component and the way it broke (I don't see solder pads) I'm unable to re-solder the clip back on to the motherboard. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about (borrowed from someone else who apparently did the same thing): http://yfrog.com/6ximg0870nj
My first question is if anyone knows how vital the pram battery is to a Intel Macbook? It seems that the laptop works fine without the pram battery. Is the battery only necessary to retain pram settings if the main laptop battery is removed and the power adapter disconnected?
Second question is whether there is any alternative to repair the logic board other than get an entirely new board? The laptop is recently out of warranty (Applecare expired earlier this year) and I don't believe that Apple would have covered this since I caused the damage myself.
Third question(s) is whether it would cause any problems to use the logic board out of a c2d 2.33 a1211 macbook pro (I can get my hands on one for a pretty reasonable price)? The only difference I can see between the two boards is the clock speed of the main processor and the amount of video ram. Would there be any advantage to using this logic board? Doesn't seem like the speed bump and video ram would do to much.
Thanks in advance for any comments/help you can offer.

Much obliged. So it sounds like the only time this will be an issue is if I disconnect the regular battery and the power supply at the same time. The rational thing to do here is to just live with it rather than blowing hundreds on the new logic board and risking additional damage during replacement.
I just wish I wasn't so OCD about this. Bothers me a bit to know that something is wrong with the laptop even if it doesn't manifest itself on a day to day basis.

Macbook Pro C2D is beeping, scratching, and cursor is freezeing

I am having the same problem as others with regards an irregualar faint beep coming from the left side of my MBP C2D that I just purchased. In addition, I notice my cursor freezing up for a fraction of a second from time to time. Also, there is unusual hard drive movement at times causing a scratching sound. Strange stuff, and I can't seem to get an answer from Apple as to what this is, (especially in light of all these postings regarding the same isssues). Was wondering if anyone has been able to get any kind of answer to these issues???
Macbook Pro C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8) What the __ is this?

Bump. Anyone have any ideas on this?
I "shut it off" last night, but when I turned it on again tomorrow, it turned out it didn't quite shut down?
It booted to the grey log-in screen, basically.
I've also come to the realisation that my charger isn't registered (the LED isn't orange/green like it usually is), and I can't get a "battery status" (I'm sure it has another name, I just don't know what it is) when I click on the little button on the left hand side of the laptop. Usually, it would show green dots/LEDS to tell me how far along it's charged, but now I get nothing.
I get the distinct feeling something's up with my battery, and maybe my RAM (because of the repeated triple beep after shutting down last night).

Macbook Pro C2D HD 5400rpm. How many audio tracks?

I'm looking to move from my Ti 1Ghz G4 to a newer Macbook Pro C2D, and i've a question about using the internal HD on the MBP.
On my old TiBook, ive popped in a 100GB 7200rpm drive, and from this i've been able to acheive around 44 to 46 stereo tracks (playback only) before i get "disk too slow errors" (the drive had around 55GB used)
Does anyone know the max number of audio tracks that can be streamed off an internal 160GB 5400rpm in a MBP C2D?
Anyone able to run a quick test for me please?
Powerbook Ti 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB ram, 100GB 7200rpm HD

whoa he came down hard on you there...
ok i have a macbook, not pro, didn't need the little extra u get more for a lot more money if you buy pro, not worth it to me... i run my sessions on the internal 5400rpm. keep everything in the lappy, samples and all, have her juiced up 2g's of ram and let me tell ya i haven't had any speed issues at all. i have all of logics performance tweaks set to blazing (128, live playback only) and it's comparable to my G5 tower. These Intel chips are no joke. If you have room in your go bag for the external HD take it with you cuz it'll even run sweeter. i'm seriously thinking of getting rid of the old tower and getting another lappy, but no i'll prob just get another macbook, for a grand it ain't bad at all, throw in the apple care, max out the ram and presto you've got all your gonna need from a computer-any application

Macbook pro c2d whine?

hi i recently got a new macbook pro c2d the 2.16 ghz version. anyway it ben about a week now and iv noticed a slight whine coming from one side of the machine (right side) and the other is normal. is this ok or should i take it to be serviced i also hear the left fan alot more than the right and it makes the most noise. i notice the whine when i put my ear up to the speaker and theres also a rattle that sometimes is there but this is only when i lift the machine up and position it certain ways. anyway my question is can the develop to become worse or is it ok the way it is. thanks for any help you can provide.
Daniel

The processor whine is normal, a ticking sound might be a bad fan or something, but the whine is ok.

New MacBook Pro C2D Startup issues

Hi,
I have my MBP for 3 weeks now and normally leave it on all the time (on and off the AC) For the most part it will wake up from sleep just fine.
In the last 3 nights I turned the MBP off before I went to sleep.
When I tried to boot in the morning the machine makes the regular DVD noise but it will keep doing this noise for 3 times, the light on the front will turn on but the machine will not start. There is also no startup chime. No video. When I pressed the power button to turn it off and then on, it will do the same.
I had been thrugh nightmare with a first generation MB so I had an idea on what to do -- I reset the PRAM and it starts fine.
This has been happening 3 mornings in a row. (I don't have anything connected to the MB other then the AC adapter.
I repaired permissions, went throguh the hardware test, took the battery out, checked the Apple website for firmware updates, and although there was firmware update 1.2 for MBP on 11/13, after launching it, I get a messge that tells me that my computer doesn't need the update.
I get all kinds of weird behaviors and the MBP will become very slugish... the highlight was today while burning a DVD in Toast none of my applications will launch, every application I would click on the dock will just bounce about 20 times and then stop. I couldn't even relaunch the Finder and ended up pressing the power button to force it to shut down. mind you, It restarted fine.
I read in one OLD thread here on the Apple forums that someone had similar problems with a MB and it was resolved by the firmware update.
Does anyone has similar issues or have any idea why my machine will act like this? I rather try to resolve it myself before I call Apple care or go to the Apple store.

The issues with starting up in the morning still consistant.
It appears that if I shut down and restart right away, there is no issue- it's ok, but if the machne is off for awhile it will not boot on the first time.
I left my MBP off all day and took it to the Apple store after work.
The MBP will not reboot at first which really surprised the guy who claimed to be head technician. He kept insisting that's it's a 3rd party software issue, and I was saying, how come a 3rd party software will affect the booting of the computer? ( you can't even here the chime!)
He suggested that I will go home and clean install OS X again, and this time not to install anything else on it. The test is on. I did a clean reinstall. The machine will be off tonight, and we'll see what will happen in the morning!
MacBook Pro C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Update to Mac OS X 10.5 - just bought my new MacBook Pro C2D - update free?

dear forum,
is there a cheap update path to 10.5 ? got
my new macbook pro C2D some hours and
thought about getting 10.5 update free of
charge. in the early years there where coupons
when you got a new mac.
thank you for some statements

Apple has not historically offered a cheap upgrade path for new operating systems unless you bought a new Mac in the time period between them announcing a release date for the new system and the date of that announcement. In the past, times have varied between one and two weeks.
In your case I would not count on it. I would plan on paying the full price, which has not been announced yet either.

Expose on MacBook Pro C2D

Replacing my old Powerbook G4 12" 867 MHz with a MacBook Pro C2D makes me happy...
But on my Powerbook, I could activate Expose by using the F9, F10 and F11 keys.
On the MBP C2D, Expose needs to be activated by FN+F9, FN+F10, FN+F11 which makes it less fun to use.
Is there any way to get around this?

This is configured in System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse preference pane. Go to the first tab called "Keyboard", about half way down is a checkbox labelled: "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features. When this option is selected, press the Fn key to use F1-F12 keys to control hardware features."
So you can toggle back and forth between hardware and software features by using the Fn key and set this preference to whichever you'd like it to do by default.
Hope this helps.
