Blank out when 39

I just got my Macbook Pro 3 months ago. A week ago it started blanking whenever the battery percentage is 39%. I can't on it unless i plug in the charger. Help! I need it for my classes and i can't have it blanking out in the middle of a class. I've tried Shutting down and Restarting it, but it won't work.
Macbook Pro with Retina 13 inch
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

Since you're still under warranty, I would make an appointment with your local Apple Store or an AASP as soon as you can. You may have a bad battery, a bad adapter, a bad power supply, etc. There's really no point in trying to figure out yourself... although you could try resetting the SMC -> Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • Since the last 2 updates to Firefox my screen flickers or blanks out when I scroll my mouse, or type. I also can't scroll using the side bar on the right side of the screen. Please help!

    As detailed in my question. I need help as my screen has been flickering or blanking out when I scroll my mouse or when I type. This has only started happening since the last 2 updates to Firefox.

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

  • Screen blanks out when pushed tilted beyond 90 degrees

    HP Pavilion 4t - 1000, Vista OS. Screen blanks out when pushed beyond 90 degrees, i.e., vertical position, , No change has been made in software, battery run down and has been replaced with identical battery from HP.

    A very high percentage of the time this is from a punched or crushed cable that leads from the mother board, through the left hinge and up to the top of the screen in the back. I got a cable from China off eBay for $4.99 + $2.99 out of country shipping (from China).

  • Iphoto blanks out when editing

    Another proof of why I have fear of Apple updates. On iPhoto, when editing a picture with Enhance feature it just blanks out (or blacks out) after using it, not for all pictures but most. Very frustrating. Any ideas out there? Thanks F

    What does that have to do with your fear of updates?
    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Screen blanks out when trying to move apps in itunes 11.1

    I can't move apps from one screen.folder to another without the screen blanking out in itunes 11.1

    I've had a similiar problem. I once tried connecting my player to a stereo system using someone elses stereo and audio cables. I connected the cables to the headphone jack and watched as my creative zvm sort of freaked out and went to the fm radio screen. However, a few seconds ago I tried this once again using my own cables (exact same type as my friends audio cables, just a different brand) and was able to successfully connect my player to my stereo reciever and nothing went wrong. So the only differences between these two attempts were the cables (which as far as I know are the exact same thing, just with some minor cosmetic differences, both had a standard audio jack that fit the headphone connection, and both split into two auxiliary connectors for audio, one red, one white), both went through different stere recievers, and I had upgraded my firmware since that last attempt.
    When I first tried it and the player freaked out I wondered if it was caused by some complication due to the feature that allows you to have a wired remote control. But since it works on my setup I'm not too sure about that unless that was somethign that got fixed with the latest firmwware release.
    And this is something I tried while writing this. I went into settings, went to audio/video settings and turned oof the Video Out option. Connected my usb dongle (that came with my player) to my player and connected my video cables to the player and connected the white and red connectors to my reciever. The screen stayed on and audio played through my stereo. Even with Video Out on music still played but obviously the screen turned off as it switched to A/V Out mode.

  • White pages (Sensis) not woking properly.Things blanking out when trying to type letters.Explorer no problem.

    I use windows vista.When I go to White pages (Sensis) I go to type a letter and things blank out. I click ,lets say "goverment" and it comes back with first letter typed.Second letter blanks again,same as above and so on for every letter.No problem with Explorer.Go to my laptop with Windows 7 and even older Firefox and also no problem.I am no computer expert,but for what I have read I dont want to upgrade every week.I dont want to lose my book marks.I didnt like losing Google ,web or Aus,just because you choose not to support it.One finds this out only after upgrades.I am on 3. something and dare not upgrade to 7,8,9 or what ever you are up to now.I will upgrade manually when I choose,not have you over take that and I would not be able to stop it.No programs I have get to update etc unless I choose to,its my computer its my choice.Lynnette.

    I downloaded Firefox 3.6.25 (I couldn't download 3.6.22) to test this and couldn't reproduce the problem.
    Perhaps updating from 3.6.22 to 3.6.25 will fix it.
    Firefox 3.6.25 can be downloaded from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]

  • Display "blank-out" when using Maya with a GF 7800?

    I have a problem where my LCD display occasionally blinks off for about 5-10 seconds when using Maya with a scene displaying about 100,000 polys. Has anyone else encountered this? This only seems to happen when I am quickly rotating the camera in a grey shaded perspective panel?
    My LCD is a Dell 20" LCD (set at 1600x1200) connected to a Geforce 7800 in a Quad G5 with 4.5GB of ram.
    I have never seen this issue before in Maya (I have been using Maya for years, on other machines), so I suspect it is hardware or driver related?

    OK, have completed several tests. I definately seems that the my Geforce 7800 has problems when running some applications. I wonder if anyone else has encountered this problem?
    The easiest way to cause the display to momentarily shut off is to use Maya in the full screen perspective camera window in shaded mode. Proceed to rapidly move a 20,000 poly model (or greater) both zooming and rotating (the polys need to fill the entire screen and shake the mouse).My display (Dell 20" 2001fp) will blink-off for a few seconds. Of course, this in not "normal" work flow, but I have this issue happening when working normally, it can sometimes take time to occur.
    I have tried the Geforce 6600 (256mb ver) and this does not occur with that video card. I have tried several mice both wired and wireless, plus changed the Energy Saver options for Processor performance (from comments I read on Macintouch.com). The problem is consistent to my Geforce 7800. This problem will also occur in Photoshop CS, by moving images and resizing, but I found it much harder to induce.

  • MacBook blanks out when Resuming from Sleep

    Hello.
    I am having a problem with my MacBook. If i have it closed and asleep for a little while (about 15 minutes or more) and i come back and open it up, the screen will come on as usual and i will see my desktop, but after about a second, my screen will go blank and fade back to my desktop, as if my screen saver was shutting off. It is kind of annoying because my computer will wake with the screensaver off. i was wondering if there was anything i can do to fix this. thanks.

    If openning the lid at the same time just after power is plugged in - the same effect.
    Sorry, I will correct myself: actually, it works if openning the lid at the same time just after power is plugged in. But if you will close the lid again after few seconds (that will not allow to resume from hibernate completely, probably) - the same effect after this, i.e. it will hand on consequent lid open.

  • My computer blanks out when I press F3 - any reason? I have sent the report to Apple but have not heard from them

    My MacBook Pro shuts down when I press F3. HAs anyone experienced this before? any solutions?

    Hi ..
    Those reports are for the Apple developers perusal only. You will not receive a reply.
    Restart your Mac then try the F3 button.

  • Solved: Display blanks out and does not turn on untill reboot.

    Hardware:
    ======
    Intel i7 prossesor (x86)
    Asus motherboard with UEIF
    ATI radeon 5770 graphics
    Partitioneng:
    ========
    sda: windows file system partitions
    sdb1: /boot (FAT32) - GRUB UIEF
    sdb2: / (ext4)
    sdc: windows bootloader and os
    Software:
    =====
    Regular instal acording to Beginers guid and ATI drivers page.
    Graphics drivers are the big free ATI driver package.
    Problem.
    ======
    After a random amount of time, usialy a fiew minutes after the computer starts, the display turns of.
    This happens in the BIOS menu, the live arch tty, arch tty and gnome.
    This does not happen if i boot into windows or a Ubutu live cd.
    When the display blanks out in a tty i am still able to interact with it,  eg: if i blindly type 'reboot[enter]' the stystem reboots, ore 'man[space]ls[up][up]' computer peeps.
    When the display blanks out in Gnome the keyboard gets disabled aswell.
    I am able to ssh into the computer if it blanks out while i am runnig arch.
    When the computer blanks out nothing but a hardware shutdown and restart seams to turn on the dispaly again. doing a reboot comand (while blanked out) thorugh ssh causes the computer to reboot but the display is still disabled after the reboot.
    Atempted fix
    =======
    attempted to run in bash:
      xset s off
      xset -dpms
    no aperent efect.
    Coment
    ======
    It might be some motherbord fiture that blanks out the screen, what is curious though is thet Windows and Ubuntu never blankout, not even temporarely. So there must be somthing that can be done from the OS side.
    Another weird thing is that I would exect it to blank out when the user input is inactive if it was a pawer saving fiture, but it usialy blanks out while i am typing.
    I am grateful for all the help I can get.

    Yesturday "searching" appeared on top left hand corner of my phone.. i tried taking out the sim and inserting it, still the same. not long after that, the phone just blanked out! i plugged in the charger and the apple icon comes on and it just stays on that screen! ive tried holding reset button down together with home button for 10secs or more.. still no results. the apple icon just comes on n off when it is plugged into the charger. as soon as i take the charger off, the icon goes off and phone just completely goes off. i cant get it to work normally anymore. i've only had this for about 1 month now!!! Anyone know what's going on or what i could do to fix this please?

    Hello E_Motuliki
    If you can, try and put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it to see if it resolves all the issues that you are seeing with the service as well as the powering off.

  • Why do graphics and colors that appear on the monitor show up as blank spaces when printed out

    Graphics (especially color) on emails and attachments show up as BLANK spaces when printed out.
    Also, some color graphics and detail work of those graphics on familiar websites do not show up on my monitor
    Both of these situations DO NOT occur on Explorer. With that browser - everything is OK

    it may have worked, but gimping my system isn't exactly a solution, more of a band-aid.
    its the equivalent of the old
    patient says, " its hurts when i do *this* "
    doctor replies," well, don't do that "
    What do you mean "it may have worked" – did it or did it not?
    Anyway it is not a remedy but diagnostics and if it makes a difference it points at the GPU driver as a likely culprit.

    This is often due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.
