Black screen Macbook Pro 2010

Still having problem with my macbook pro (MacBookPro6,2) black screen time after time when using Lion didn´t help with the grafic bug fix.
Had to go back to Snow Leopard again.
Are many having those problems?

I sent them some crashreports and did the hardwaretest 3 times. The hardwaretest says that nothing is wrong. The support says i must leave it to Apple for morse tests! :-(
I reinstalled Lion clean 4 times. Same chit.
What i did? I reinstalled Snow Leopard. And now its working without any problems.
I will probably test Lion again in a few mounth, and hope them have found some softwarefixes.

  • While in traget disk mode to fix a black screen Macbook pro,  I trashed my boot from system library...oops - it trashed the working mac file and now I have no ability to open my trash to regain it... I do have an Imac, and connecting cable.

    I trashed a system window boot file while in target disk mode: attempting to repair a black screen in macbook pro A,  it removed the file from working macbook pro B.  Now I can't open the trash to regain it.  I have an Imac, and can set up target disk mode, but am not sure where to go from here.. Help!

    So, next I used Target mode...saw the HD icon on my IMac display and "loaded" Yosemite back onto the Macbook Pro, I thought, but no!  it loaded it onto my Imac -  so, had to wait til that was done to continue....next day...I decided to try command-R w/startup, recovery mode,  and use wifi to reload Yosemite onto my Macbook Pro, because I didn't want to go deeper into the issue - just wanted my computer working again.
    That worked, of course. 
    Thank you for your help - I always learn a lot on this site.

  • My macbook pro (2010 13inch) is really laggy when I'm using apps like iTunes and safari. the arrow on the screen seems to not respond and is laggy and when viewing videos it can be really laggy. I just want to know if it was a problem i could fix, thanks.

    You might start with:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • My macbook pro 2010 extremely noisy and a warning flashed on the screen about a power or battery issue- can you help please?

    My macbook pro 2010 has started getting extremely noisy in the last few months and I had a strange warning flash up on the screen a month or so ago about a power or battery issue… can you help please?

    Calibrating a 2010 MBP is not required.  All it will achieve is putting an unnecessary cycle on it and shortening its life:

  • Macbook Pro 2010 keeps freezing and restarting

    Hi.
    Last few days I have problems with my macbook pro 2010 model, running latest OS and all software. I have problems with freezing very often. Screen turns to black and after few seconds it restarts automaticly. It happens when I try to open iPhoto, surf the web (scrolling quickly). I have tried to restore OS to older state from Time Machine, but didn't help. It also shows this report:

    Anyone knows what this happens or what coud be problem? I suspect my HDD, cos it always happens when the HDD is reading, or it could be RAM problem? But why now? I didn't change anything lately (only systen updates last week).
    Please help. Thanks

  • Macbook pro 2010 (mid) not working

    Hey everyone,
    My macbook pro 2010 mid does not turn on anymore because I spilled a drink all over the keyboard and I do not want to pay to repair it. In addition, it also had display problems as well like white and black screens. I tried using the "Power On" program for apple and it says that my laptop is not worth anything but I am able to recycle it for free... I was wondering if my macbook pro is still worth something since I have the battery and memory in it still

    Looks like that the speaker may be blown.
    Have you checked the Audio MIDI setup?
        Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • Brand New Macbook Pro 2010 - Cracking body !

    Hi !
    I just bought the new macbook pro 2010 with hi-res and anti-glare screen (very impressive).
    But something very annoying appeared few days ago when I started using my computer on my laps : it cracks !
    I investigated to found the origin of this cracking noise and I succeed in it : the body is cracking when I exerce a little pression on the center of the bottom of the aluminium body. Consequently it cracks only on an unstable surface when the four "black feet" do not ensure a minimal interstice between the surface and the body.
    Moreover, it cracks even when the computer is off, even when the computer is cold, so it's nor a drive optic issue neither movement detector, neither dilatation.
    How do you explain that ? Remember, my computer is brand new, I just putted out of the box few days ago, no shock, no impact.
    I pay the price to have a perfect product, so I want some explanations.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards.

    Welcome to the forums g.dubreuil !
    This is a user to user support forum and issues raised here are not addressed by Apple employees. I agree with your statement of expecting a perfect product. If you've just bought it, simply contact Apple (or visit an Apple store) and have them take a look at it. I'm not exactly sure of what you are explaining, but if they agree that there is a problem, you should be able to get it replaced... which I would think preferable to an explanation.

  • My macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

    my macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

    Hi..
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
    Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
    And disabling the resume feature can help.
    Open System Preferences > General. Deselect:  Reopen windows when quitting and re-opening apps

  • Macbook Pro (2010) vs Macbook Air (2011)

    I have a Macbook Pro (2010 model, 15" screen, i7 2.66ghz, 500gb 7200rpm drive) which I currently use for work which includes some photoshop. I am a little tired of lugging it around as it is quite heavy especially when you include the power pack and wireless mouse. So I was considering getting the 2011 Macbook Air (13", i7 1.8ghz, 256gb SSD drive) as a replacement.
    According to this web site (http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/mac-benchmarks/) the Air (5786) scores marginally better than my Pro (5562).
    Before (and if) I make my purchase I was hoping someone here knew more about a direct comparison of these notebooks and wouldn't mind sharing their knowledge.
    Thanks!

    The 1.8GHz dual-core i7 Air is 32% slower than your 2.66GHz dual-core i7 Pro in all respects other than hard drive speed. In highly disk-intensive operations, the Air's SSD may make up the difference, but in pure processing operations, your Pro has a big edge. For graphics, the Air's integrated GPU with shared VRAM is considerably less powerful than your Pro's discrete GPU and dedicated VRAM. Nothing in the Air is upgradeable; your Pro can be outfitted with a larger hard drive or a faster SSD and twice as much RAM as the Air will ever have. All the non-resizable user-interface elements (menu bar and its text, dialog boxes and their text, tool palettes and toolbars in many apps, etc.) will be dramatically smaller and may be hard to read on the Air, unless your Pro has the optional high-resolution 1680 x 1050 display, in which case things will be the same size on the Air screen, but you'll see less of them because there are fewer pixels in its screen.
    I think sticking with the Pro is a no-brainer. To lighten your load, leave the mouse at home and use the wonderful features of the MBP's trackpad. The Pro will never be as light as an Air, but it's a substantially more capable computer, and best of all, you've already paid for it.

  • Weird Display issue MacBook Pro 2010 15"

    Hey
    i recently turned my MacBook pro on and after about ten minutes my display started to flicker some coloured lines until settling on this flickering:
    I restarted,  tried to see if any updates where avaiable neither of which helped, 
    I took a screen shot and emailed it to my partners Laptop and the lines wern't there,  so i dont think it is a software problem.
    i then shut down my laptop for the night and turned it on the next day and it was fine,  about 40 minutes on it and it started flashing again but didnt go as bad as the previous day,  It hasnt done it since but im slightly concerned as you can imagine.
    Tech Tool Deluxe reports no problems at all.
    I do have apple care but im out the country at the moment so not much i can do about it if things get worse,  i will be taking it to get checked over when i return home in a month!
    Has anyone had similar issues,  or got any ideas as to what caused this?
    Specs:
    MacBook Pro 2010 I5 2.53Ghz 15"
    8gb Crucial Memory Ram
    Stock 500Gb 7200RPM Drive
    Western Digital Scorpio Blue 640gb 5000RPM in Optibay
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB graphics and built in card

    I will have to when i get home in a month, 
    it hasn't done it for a while now so hopefully i can last out the month with out any serious problems,  my main concern is the graphics going completly and me not being able to use my laptop at all!

  • Lion Login gives me Beach Ball lock up - Macbook Pro 2010

    Ever since i updated my Macbook Pro 2010 15 i7 to lion, when i turn it on and it comes to the log in screen (i need it password protected for turning on), the beach ball just spins and it wont let me type my password in.
    I ran disk permissions, i made sure my HD wasnt over loaded, ram has been in there since i got the mbp. I reset the pram once it let me in, then later on the mbp crahsed on me and it told me to restart it. I did and the beach ball came back on the log in. I powered down and reset the pram and still i got a beach ball at log in. Powered down again and it let me type my password half way then beach ball. Powered down again and then it let me type my whole password.
    Have to say this is becoming a hassle, anyone have any ideas? or is it best to just go back to Snow Leapord?

    I'm having the same problems on a 2011 iMac i7.
    It won't let me type in my password - the spinning beachball is there instead.
    It only happens to me when I leave my iMac locked for long periods of time.

  • Cleaning Macbook pro 2010 keyboard, soda spill 2 years ago.

    Hey guys. So around two years ago my kid spilled soda on my Macbook Pro 2010 model, and I never bothered cleaning it since I wasn't using it much. Now it's 2 years later and I'm using it often and it's all spongy and sticky, the Macbook still works perfectly fine and all the keys work okay it's just sticky. Can anyone recommend a method of cleaning them? Thanks a lot.

    The keys on these Macs are comprised of 5 or 6 moving parts: the black cap that has the extruded letter or symbol, a translucent body that has a number of snaps, a two-piece scissors mechanism made of white plastic, a silicone rubber "cup" and in some, a stainless steel wire guide. All snap together onto the body and onto metal guides on the printed circuit on the Mac itself. around the microswitch that's nestled inside the rubber "cup". That cup's springiness is what pushes the key back out. Awhile back, one "leg" on the scissor of my left Caps Lock broke off and the key proceeded to pop like a Mexican Jumping Bean. Apple said it was "cosmetic damage", "not covered by warranty" and they would kindly repair it after I plopped $800 and waited while they replaced the entire top case (whole chassis, including keyboard and trackpad), for ONE FRIGGIN KEY. Needless to say, I purchased a collection of keys (5 for the price of 4; needed 1, but I'm sure another eventually will die and wanted to make the cost of the product bigger than the cost of shipping!) from replacementlaptopkeys.com, watched a couple of YouTube videos (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TawSCmb08tM&feature=g-hist ) and got the Mac back in working order 15 minutes after the postman showed up and I feverishly tore the envelope open.
    So I can tell you with full confidence that the only way to get that clean is by lifting the caps. Yeah, that will make the AppleCare guys most unhappy. And yeah, I'm sure more than one of the keycaps will get damaged in the process and require replacement. At $4.95 a pop, with discounts if you break many, just make sure to order the correct type; my Late '11 MBP has type AC01.
