Why is my macbook pro restarting?
So I have had my macbookpro since mid 2010, and just recently it started to overheat. Also I dropped my macbook on the ground outside, but I don't think that has anything to do with the problem because I have opened the bottom of it and nothing is harmed. Lately it has been restarting alot and then coming up with this error upon startup. If anyone can help me please do because I am in college, and I cannot afford to get a new laptop so I am not sure what to do. If I cannot fix it could I sell it to someone like a business that can refurbish it, so that I can get a new cheaper laptop?

Sounds like you have the mid-2010 problem. There's an issue with the graphics module on that machine. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard within 3 years of purchase, but you're probably outside of that. Some folks have supposedly gotten theirs changed outside of that period, so you can try.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
What you can do to use it is download gfxstatus from http:gfx.io and force the graphics to Intel. If that works, you'll lose the higher end graphics for gaming and such, but at least it'll work.

Why does my macbook pro restart whenever I wake it up from sleep?
Whenever my Macbook Pro goes to sleep and I wake it up, it restarts. When it turns on the screen says that there was a problem and it had to restart. It seems to only restart when there are applications open, but this could just be a fluke. I copied the code that showed up in the box that asked if I wanted to report this problem to Apple. I looked at a few discussions on here and I ran a hardware test and some other test but they haven't fixed the issue Can someone please help?! Thanks in advance.

A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You can rule out the first two possibilities by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it as directed in this support article.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -
Why does the macbook pro restart in few seconds after I select "shut down?"
When I select shut down, the computer goes off and comes on again in a few seconds. It doesn't come on quickly like it does when I select restart. It's like a ghost is in there.
Unplug all the USB devices you don't need or put a hub with its own power supply between the computer and them.

Why does my Macbook Pro destabilize after hibernation sleep?
Over the last several months using Mountain Lion, I decided to completely drain my battery to reset it. I think it then goes into what is called hibernation or emergency sleep mode. I am usually unable to wake it from sleep prompting a forced resstart.
to restart, I connect the adapter and the light goes green quickly changing to amber as expected. After the restart, however, some top menu items are missing such as the wi-fi icon and the Lock Keychain icon. All third party icons display correctkly. The space is there but blank and I can access the pulldown menu by clicking in those blank areas.. When double clicking the HD icon in the Finder, no icons show on the left side any more. A restart does not fix the problem. The system then eventually destabilizes to the point that I have to restore from my Firewire external HD clone using SuperDuper. One time I did a full restore (that takes forever even with a very fast wi-fi set up) to fix the problem.
I am usually in Safari or playing a Game such as a third party card game application to pass the time until the battery completely drains. I also have Filevault enabled.
Why is the MacBook Pro battery reset causing this OS instability? How can I reset the battery without encountering these sleep issues?Thank you Dale.
This article mentions that recalibration should be done every two months. I think I waited 4-6 months before doing a recalibration on purpose. Though I probably ran out the battery power before then recharging overnight (some commenters on Apple Discussions said to wait 5 hours before recharging!).
I think that my battery goes into a forced shutdown rather than true sleep. Your linked thread states that this often causes directory damage. But I ran DiskWarrior and Disk Utility immediately after the stated problems occurred. And these programs pretty much repair any directory damage. But they failed to correct the problems I listed in my original post.
So I question the conclusion that not calibrating every two months caused irreparable directory damage that even DiskWarrior or Disk Utility cannot repair. The damage appears more extensive than this in my opinion.
The battery is only a year old with 92.35% of its original current capacity and 537 cycles. The current charge is over 6350 at 99.47%. It will eventually go to 100%. I can run over 4 hours of normal usage on a single battery charge.
Side note -- to my knowledge, nothing in the original MacBook Pro manual suggests that the battery requires regular recalibration of any kind to maintain the integrity of the battery. Much less every two months. If this is a requirement or even highly recommended, then Apple has done a good job hiding this information. And the available recalibration information varies from one type of battery to the next and is often inconsistent.
Apple's comments in the past support the idea that recalibration improves efficiency and fixes some battery issues as they occur, but that it is not manditory to maintain the health of the battery.
Do you have an official battery recalibration source (preferably Apple) that indicates regular battery recalibration is crucial and exactly how this must be done for MacBooks with builtin batteries? -
Why is my MacBook Pro **crashing** changing to a blue screen with lines or distorted screen when I open logic or Ableton Live. Then I have to restart by long pressing the power button. Can somebody plz help me
What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage (in safari) every time I try to access netflix or youtube?
Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
Why is my macbook pro running so slow and losing internet connection?
Why is my Macbook Pro downloading so slowly and losing internet connection frequently?
Write off the MS stuff as indicators for now--starting with Office 2008, they developed very long launch times. The time to launch 2008 on my old 1.25Ghz G4 and my MBP 2.2G are virtually the same. Even document opens/saves are slow compared to Office 2004 and earlier.
1) You have adequate hard drive space so that eliminates one of the usual suspects.
2) Check for runaway background processes. Quit all running user applications so the computer is at normal idle. Find Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and launch it. If you've not run it before, change the "Show" pulldown at the top of the AM window from its default of "User Processes" to "All Processes." There is a column for "%CPU." Click that column header to sort by CPU usage. Watch the processes "bubble" for about a minute to get a better picture of the usage.
If any process is using more than about 25 percent of the CPU cycles while the computer is idling, post the names of the processes and we can see if they can be eliminated. My MBP shows nothing using more that about 5 percent on any given test run as long as I close all my user apps.
3) If you have never done any sort of maintenance procedures, taht can slow you down. Simply restarting the computer a few times a week clear a lot of temporary files. You also may wish to review this article on the Mac OSX periodic maintenance scripts, which, if run, also do a lot of cleanup:

4) Use Disk Utility to check the SMART Status of your hard drive. A failing drive can make things slow before it makes things stop. -
HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.
Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.
Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.

WHY does my Macbook Pro (mid 2012) always slow to crawl when I wake it up and go online???
I wake up my Macbook Pro (sweetly tell it that I love it)
click on one of the 1-10 tabs I have open in Firefox or Safari
Click on iTunes (open already) to play some tunes
Wait
Wait while the little ball spins as my browser thinks
wait a bit more
finally the tab I click on comes to the front, but the page takes 15-60 seconds to load
I proceed feeling irritated
A little help?
Specs:
15" Mid 2012 Macbook Pro
2.3ghz Intel Core i7 Processor
500gb HD
4gb RAM
Etc.
Apps that I am using:
Safari
Firefox
iTunes
Adobe Illustrator (occasionally)
Lightroom 4 (occasionally)
Why oh why must my Macbook Pro drive me insane by getting hung up for minutes on end???The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Why does my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro keep freezing?
Why does my MacBook Pro freeze?
MacBook Pro
2.4 GHz intel Core2 Duo
4BB 1067 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
I turned it on and I went to safari to look things up. Safari froze and then the whole thing became unresponsive - the mouse could move the cursor but it couldn't open any programmes.
Tried safe boot several times. No help.
Tried to repair disc permissions. The first time it got a little way then said 'user stopped repair' or something - though I didn't touch it. Tried again it got all the way through and said 'repairs complete'. But no help.
Couldn't clear cache etc as couldn't get to the relevant part to do it.
Opened in single user mode. Ran the fsck -fy thing twice. First time it said both “The volume appears to be OK” AND “FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED.” In 2nd run it just said “The volume appears to be OK”. No help.
Booted it up from the Superduper bootable backup version on a USB external drive. It seemed to boot up ok but then tried to click on something and the same thing happened - spinning beach ball and it just hung.
Erased hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard but it just does the same thing. Suggesting a hardware issue not software but...the Eerie thing is, we tried backup version on boyfriends Mac Pro and it worked fine on there but 24hrs later his Mac Pro has got exactly the same screen freezing, unresponsive issue. Could this suggest there's something evil lurking on my back up? Can't get an appointment at Genius Bar until next week and need to get some work done, so hoping someone might have some ideas?
Cheers

... does Apple products work much better with using Apple routers?
While a genuine Apple router is likely to result in success, the reason for having one instead of another product is that it eliminates a lot of uncertainty. For example, we do not know the model D-Link product you have so no one is in position to speculate what the problem might be. Also, it makes support on this forum easier since there are only three AirPort models to choose from and they all work more or less the same.
Generally speaking your iPods, iPads, MacBooks, and AppleTV ought to work with any router though, provided it is fairly recent and meets accepted industry standards. If in doubt you can purchase an AirPort Base Station, which comes with 90 days of free telephone support. If it does not result in any improvement for you, you can always return it for a complete refund. The return period is 14 days and be sure to keep all material - receipt, box, manuals, etc...
If you elect this option be sure to follow its installation instructions, the most important of which is to power down your modem prior to connecting the AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. All your other equipment will need their network settings adjusted to "forget" the D-Link network and connect to the new one. -
Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?
Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!
Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime. -
Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?
Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."
