2012 Retina MBP shutting off randomly

Recently it's been shutting off at random points and when I power up it won't turn back on right away. Also when I close the lid it will completely shut off, and when it turns back on I get a message saying that it restarted due to a problem. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I did run the Apple Hardware Test and after running both normal and extended tests no trouble was found. I managed to download the widget called iStat Pro, I realized that my CPU was idling at 50%, and the CPU temperature was 80 degrees Celsius. This caused my fans to run consistently at 6000RPM. I discovered that the random shut down while running on the battery was caused by too much current being drained by the system. So as you suggested, it was indeed happening for safety reasons.
By looking at the Activity Monitor and selecting all processes I saw that a process called printjobmgr was utilizing 100% of the CPU. I found this strange as I had performed several restarts and would have expected this process to terminate on its own. As soon as I used Force Quit, everything returned to normal. Strangely, every time I print something, the printjobmgr starts up and utilizes 100% of the CPU. This lasts until the printing is finished. I still was unable to find a permanent solution to this.

  • MBP shuts off randomly

    My 15-inch MBP (bought May 2009, running 10.5.8) has recently been shutting off randomly, sometimes upwards of 10 times a day if I am using it a lot.
    I first suspected this as a battery problem, because the only way I can keep it from shutting down is by keeping it plugged into a power source (it has never shut down when plugged in). However, I have a second battery that I bought in 2010, and the exact same problem occurs regardless of which battery I have inside.
    Although sometimes the shut offs are random, sometimes it will happen if i sit my MBP on a desk not-so-gently (but not hard either), or if I drop something not-so-gently onto the area below my keyboard. Also, it almost always shuts down when I close the lid and put it into my backpack.
    I don't know too much about the interior hardware, but my best guess was there is a faulty area where the computer power attaches to the battery source, and when somethign disturbs that connection then the computer shuts off?
    Any thoughts?

    Hi wpetraska;
    When I got my MBP, I was having the same problem. Since it was brand new, I took it into the Apple Store. They looked at it and told me there was fault with the logic board. It would have to be replaced. Two days later I got it back and it has worked great ever since.

  • MBP Shuts off Randomly when not plugged in

    So, I've had a 2007 MBP and been very happy until just now.
    My computer has started randomly shutting off. Not shutting down, but like "click" off when its not plugged in. This happens at different times, sometimes 5 minutes after its unplugged, sometimes 15, but it will.
    Any ideas? Anything I can do? I don't really want to buy a new one because this one works just fine other than that.
    Thanks

    Seriously, look on the first page of this forum and you'll see other threads already started on the subject. No-one has a solution as yet, other than replacing the battery, even though it seems to be a software update (Snow Leopard or otherwise) that's the culprit.

  • MBP shuts off randomly when not on charger

    I've had my MBP for a while and for the last year, when my laptop isn't plugged in, it shuts off compeltely without warning. Just wanted to know if it's time for a new battery or a hardware problem.
    Battery Info:
    Full Charge: 5330
    Remaining: 5208
    Amperage: 0
    Voltage: 12294
    Cycle Count: 81
    And of course, this is while it's plugged in.

  • 2010 MBP shuts off randomly

    My 2010 MacBook Pro has recently started to shut itself off without warning, usually while I do graphics-intensive tasks (image editing or viewing in Acorn or iPhoto). The screen goes black all of a sudden; the keyboard backlight stays on and if iTunes is playing, a half-second piece of the audio plays over and over again. The only way to get any response from the computer seems to be to press and hold the power button to shut it down completely. This occurs when the computer is plugged in and when it’s running off of the battery; I’ve shut off all of the background tasks (e.g. Flux, Dropbox, Arq) I can think of, with no change. Any idea what might be causing this, and how I can fix it?

    This seems to have been a hardware problem. I took my computer to an authorized repair shop and they found a problem with the graphics card. After they replaced my logic board I no longer have this problem.

  • Macbook Retina will shut off randomly.

    I've a Macbook Retina 15'  2013 and it has been performing very strange. I have 10.8.5 Mountan Lion installed. Please help me out.
    I've contacted apple support many times and i just want to see if i can get any information out of this thread.
    Once i shut it off, then start it back up. It will make the chime but the video display will not show, and the keyboard would be lit. I've tried reinstalling the OSX and i've tried checking my drives. Lastly, i've even tried the SMC reset. Nothing absolutely worked. I believe it can be hardware damage or something installed.
    I've did a boot in safe mode and it was fine then after i restarted the macbook it just kept on performing the same.

  • My macbook shuts off randomly, how do I know what's causing this and prevent it from happening again?

    My macbook shuts off and I kept a journal for it because mine's got complications.
    July 1, 2014 (Tuesday)
    I spilled a cup of choclate milk on my keyboard, it was soaked! But my battery was drained so I know nothing had short out. So I turned it over and never tried to turn it on.
    July 2
    I went to the nearest apple center and asked them to clean it for me. (I knew it wasn't a good idea to clean it myself) They put it in a plastic bag but I asked them to open it as soon as possible so I know what parts are affected. They told me they'd take a picture of the inside for me and go back after an hour. Milk was still inside everywhere so I asked them to take it in.
    July 8
    I called to get an update on my mac and they said it wasn't economically practical to repair it because they recommended a full system replacement. I got depressed and accepted my Mac's fate. But what's annoying is I put my mac in on July 2 and they only tried to clean it in July 5 which makes me think that was the reason my mac was irreparable.
    July 9
    I took my mac and tried to find another opinion but I showed the diagnostics from the apple store and they said they couldn't fix it. My parents were getting ready to buy a new one.
    July 13
    I realized that my mac didn't have charge when milk spilled on it so I tried to charge it and BOOM IT OPENED. They keyboards were sticky and it takes a moment before my computer reacts to the trackpad but it works! Even all the keys works! But it doesn't charge.
    After lunch, it was workingp perfectly and my batteries were at 30% charge! I was really happy!
    (in the interval my mac works perfectly, it stays for normal 7 hours when battery is charged fully)
    However at July 19
    There was no electricity for four days (A typhoon came in the Philippines) and my battery is about 7% so I went to the public market to get it charge while I wait for electricity. I charged it for about 3 hours and sideways because it was inside my backpack while it charged so noone will notice it. When I got home and opened my laptop, it shut off randomly after my desktop appeared after start up. So I was sad.
    July 20
    I found a solution online to use the option-shift-power button my mac opened and worked normally!
    July 21
    My computer was normal in the morning then in the afternoon it shut off again after I waked it up from sleep. Tried option-shift for about 3-5 times before it worked with varying intervals from 5-20 minutes each
    July 22
    I get nervous when I use it but it worked perfectly I was even able to edit with Final-cut pro and HD clips.
    Wednesday
    Worked perfectly in the morning but in the afternoon, after waking it up from sleep it won't turn on tried the option-shift then I tried resetting the SMC for about three times (my mac is a unibody) but it didn't turn on the whole evening.
    Today Thursday morning July 24
    I tried to reset SMC first thing in the morning after the thing won't turn on. After about an hour, I tried to turn my mac on normally and it opened. So what I did is to back up all my files. (It took the whole afternoon) and at night I ran diagnostics (D during start up) and no threats were found
    Haven't been experiencing the trouble, as of the moment I'm writing this Jul 25, Friday (12:13 AM) HK time Philippines.
    So what I'm asking here is what do I do to make sure this doesn't occur anymore. I probably written a very detailed log. So what else (diagnostics and other) should I do to prevent this from happening again. School starts in August and I will need my laptop to work perfectly to let me go through college with less burden. Thank you and I hope you reply. Any more questions about details on my Mac will be answered

  • Brand new Thunderbolt display shuts off randomly

    I've had a new ThunderBolt Display for less than a month paired with a brand-new Mac Mini (2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000)
    and the display just began shutting off randomly.
    I also have an external HD drive daisy chained via the display's Thunderbolt port that stops working once the display dies. Tried connecting the Mac Mini alone with no hard drive figuring it might be the drive but no the display still randomly shuts off. Any ideas or suggestions before I call Applecare?

    I have a similar setup and problem. My Thunderbolt display (refurb, purchased in February 2012) will randomly turn off, as if it went to sleep - but mouse/keyboard input does not wake it back up. The internal speakers will still output audio. Disconnecting/reconnecting the Thunderbolt cable from the attached Mac Mini (2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, OS X 10.7.5, AMD Radeon HD 6630M ) will not resolve the issue. Disconnecting/reconnecting the display's power cord and the Thunderbolt cable from the Mac Mini will resolve the issue temporarily. This began happening maybe a month or two ago, and has probably happened 10 times in the last 30 days. It is completely random, and I have yet to be able to duplicate it on demand.
    Steps taken to attempt to fix the issue:
    Confirmed Energy Saver Settings
    Confirmed Software up to date (OS 10.7.5)
    Attempted Firmware Updates (message states not needed)
    Reset NVRAM
    Reset SMC (unplugging computer)
    There are other discussions reporting similar behaviour:

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3347412?start=0&tstart=0 (1 page)
    As well as other discussions concerning random flickering issues with the display.
    Since I'm still under warranty, I took my display to a Genius Bar today. The rep didn't really seem to want to hear about what I found on these discussion boards. He says you can pretty much find anything you want to find here, and since it is unmoderated it is not a reliable source of information. I let him know that the issue (as far as I can tell) occurs with different models of Mac Mini's, MB Pros & MB Airs, suggesting it is in fact an issue with the display and not what's connected to it. I added that most folks who reported bringing the displays in for service ultimately ended up with a replacement display, as the service done on the defective display proved to not resolve the issue - but I would of course defer to his judgement.
    He decided that they would order and replace the LCD panel. He assured me they would keep the display powered on for 12-24 hours after the service to ensure the issue has been resolved. Truthfully, I am not optimistic. And for the amount it costs to replace the panel ($833.32 from the provided estimate), I speculate this course of action will end up being much more costly for them in the long run. But we shall see!
    I will be sure to provide updates as they come.  Wish me luck!

  • My macbook pro shuts off randomly?

    So my MacBook Pro has shut itself down twice in the past two days.  It shuts off randomly, takes about 45-60 seconds before I can turn it back on, and when I turn back my date and time settings are way off (ie the most recent time it said that it was Monday, November something, 2012, at 4:02 pm, when it was really Wednesday January 21, 2015, and 5:25 pm).  I have a frayed charger cable, and it has been plugged in during both shutdowns.  I have a new one on its way, but I cannot stop using this one yet, because I am a college student and I need my laptop, and none of my friends/roommates has a MacBook with the proper charger for mine, so I can't use any of theirs.  Any explanations?

    Hello pinkpanda376,
    For random shut off issues, I would take a look at resetting the SMC on your MacBook Pro as well as taking a look at the battery to make sure that it is still running normal on you. Look at the articles below for more information to get you started.

  • MBP shutting off by itself = epic time on hold!

    After months of my MBP shutting down randomly a half-dozen times a day, I called Apple Care today; when I explained that it was STILL shutting down after having the hard drive, heat sink, and motherboard replaced, the rep said "We'll replace your laptop. Let me bump you up to Level 2".
    That was FOUR AND A HALF HOURS AGO, including me being rerouted to a dude named Bob in the Testing Lab who said "Uh, you're not supposed to call us back here. We're in the back room."
    I'm still on hold, going on five hours on the phone. Is this a new record? Should I give up?

    I have exactly the same issue with iPhone 4. If the phone goes into sleep mode it then switches itself off and is always difficult to restart. If you google this issue then you will find it is a common one that Apple refuses to acknowledge. It is not practical for me to visit a store - Apple should be obliged to send replacement phones rather than the onus being on me to go to them!

  • Wife's iPhone keeps shutting off randomly and does it even when on calls, restarts and has a dark line in center of the screen then the apple logo. At times it does it several times or won't power up, and the iPhone4 is only five months old. What do we do

    Have an iPhone 4 that is now shutting off randomly including during calls. The iPhone is roughly about five months old. When the iPhone shuts down and tries to restart it usually take two or three times before it stays on, but when it does it sometimes has a dark line down the center and shuts off. Not very happy about the iPhone doing this. The store we had purchased the iPhone 4 from suggested that we contact Apple to see about a replacement, or send it away for service. As you can tell we are not happy at this point since the iPhone is crucial part of our day for work and family. What should we do at this point?

    Thanks for the suggestions!
    Except I tried all those before I even made this topic lol, but thanks!
    I Already popped out the Sim Card & let my phone sit without it for a few minutes then put it back in. Sometimes it will work again & it will say it recognizes the SIM Card but more times then not it still says it cant recognize it! So I have to take it out & reinsert it multiple times.
    & I have done a complete restore 2 times & a back up restore 3 times. Nothing seems to be working.
    I am planning on going to the Apple Store this week, wish me luck!
    But keep the suggestions coming if you have any, I'd appreciate it!

  • Mac Pro keeps shutting off randomly

    Hey guys,
    My Macbook Pro keeps shutting off randomly. Its been doing it for a few months now and I was finally able to restore it to factory settings to see if that would fix the problem but it hasnt. Sometimes it will shut off every five minutes, other times it will be maybe once an hour. I've noticed that it is more likely to shut off when I'm visiting youtube or watching a video/viewing a site with lots of pictures.
    By "shutting off" I mean that the screen goes black and I have to hold down the power button until it completely turns off and then restart it.
    When I turn my computer back on it sometimes has a reason for the problem, which I copied and pasted below:

    Kara436,
    some 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pros are known to have a defect in their NVIDIA GPUs. Given the symptoms which you’d described, yours might have that defect also. Apple had a gratis servicing program for three years from the MacBook Pro’s date of purchase; they still offer the servicing, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis. I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro, which will confirm whether or not its NVIDIA GPU has the defect.

  • Please Help! MBP shutting off when plugged in, now not recognizing MagSafe Adapter

    I started seeing this problem a few weeks ago, my MacBook Pro just shut off spontaneously while watching a video full-screen. I turned it back on and the problem went away for a while. But now, the shut-downs happen more frequently. It doesn't matter if the MBP is running off of the battery or if its running off of the AC cord, it will just shut off. No warning. No standard shut-down process, everything just stops and a balck screen shows up. After it shuts off, it takes a few seconds to get it to restart, and when it does, the computer's date and time will be reset to some date in 2000. Very strange, I've had this computer for a year and I know people with the same model that have had no such problems. The battery is at 168 cylces (I use this for school, so it was being used everyday throughout the last two semesters), and the Condition is listed as Normal in the System profiler, so I doubt the problem is with the battery, but I could be wrong. I've seen posts about the RAM/PRAM causing the date/time resets. Nevertheless, the MBP has been running normally on the battery, battery life is still the same length of time as it was when I first got the computer, and runs smoothly. Up until last night, the AC MagSafe Adapter was still working, so I only used that as the power source. Everything was fine, but the MBP shut off once or twice while it was plugged in within the last month or so, but the AC would still have a green light, indicating the computer was still recognizing the power source. Now, I can't get the MagSafe to be rocognized at all. The computer is running on battery only, and I've tried resetting the SMC, but I'm unsure if it worked since the MagSafe is still unrecognized. When its plugged in, the System Profiler says it is not connected and not charging.
    I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.8, a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with a 4GB memory (of which less that half is used). Computer usage is low, so its not like I'm running several programs at once, at most, its two or three at a time, for short periods. My MBP is a 13" aluminum body, doesn't seem to be overheating, has worked fine after long periods of being on and getting hot, I always let it cool down after I feel it getting too warm.
    Please help if you can! Thank you!

  • IMac G5 non-isight shutting off randomly

    My iMac g5 keeps shutting off randomly during use. I have a niMac G5, non-isight and it stays on for 30 mins, an hour, or 3 hours and then shuts off as if someone is pulling the power cord out.
    Upon starting up, sometimes it doesn't make it to the login screen before shutting down again. It runs normal for a while, then it would randomly turn off. I have downloaded heat temp monitor programs and it seems to get to about 70 degrees celcius sometimes. Upon restarting, I get the "report problem to apple" screen with this information. I have tried to restart the power supply too.

    The problem is a thermal one, somehow there's a malfunction and the computer shuts down because it's overheating. You should take it in and have the power supply looked at. You can also take the bgack off and check the capacitors to see if any of them is swollen or leaking.
    Let us know how you make out,
