How can I fix my MacBook Pro? I have a relatively recent model of the MacBook Pro. I’ve been running Mavericks.
For the past few days, it has been randomly clicking off by itself, I guess crashing. I would be online or just doings on it, sometimes nothing at all, and the screen would go black, the computer would turn off. Then, I would proceed to try to turn it back on, and it won’t turn on for several minutes, no matter what buttons you push. I tried doing an SMC reset for myself. It did not help much. I deleted all my personal files, including plug-ins, especially flash player. I thought that helped, but the computer proceeded to turn off minutes later. Then, out of frustration, (as I have done twice or so before since having the computer) I did what may be called a factory reset for my computer. I erased the current operating system information/memory in disk utility, and then went on to reinstall OS X. This was working fine, and then, a few minutes into the downloading process, my computer turned off once again.
Now, I have no system to operate on. I keep turning the computer back on to try to do it again. But now, the computer tries to do a remote or internet recovery, and tries to re-download an operating system using my WiFi. I’m sure this would be successful, but the computer can’t function for more than a minute or two without crashing/turning off.
I am fairly certain that my power button is NOT stuck.
I did earlier notice the fan making noise, before doing the SMC reset.
The computer did seem to say there was no batteries available at one point.
(But all of this was okay after some point, and I was just doing the reset to try to correct the turning off the system was still doing)
A week or two ago, I did have a glitch where my desktop picture was flashing and acting weird, and other functions on my computer keyboard not working, like volume, keyboard brightness, etc. But I did fix it.
I have not ever had much on this Macbook pro. I do not download applications. I do not store nearly any files on the computer. I usually only use the flash player plug-in. This computer is only used for doing work/business, and for personal use online.
I can’t see why I would have so many problems.
Is it possible that erasing the memory twice or so before is causing an error or issue in the drive?
What is the root of this problem, and how can I fix it on my own?
I can’t really make any progress on the computer since it turns off after only a minute or two no matter what you are trying to do.
What do I do now?kapots3v4,
if your MacBook Pro doesn’t stay active long enough to perform an OS X Internet Recovery, then you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service provider to have them diagnose what’s ailing it. -
i did hold the ALT cmand r key but i cant see the globe i dont know how i can fix my macbook pro late 2008 can any 1 plzzzz help me im very upsate but i live PAKISTAN in here i cant find os x lion disk i dont know what to do if i get the os x lion usb
That does not work on model year older then 2010 and really doesn't work on any older then late 2011 models.
You will need a set of original system dvd disc thjat are always sypplied with every mac sold before Lion came out. Systems older then late release early 2011 models.
If you don't have them you kcan order a replacement set from apple by calling them. Have the serial number of you mac handy. -

How do I fix my Macbook's sleep issue (OHC2)?
I have a Macbook unibody (2.4GHz from 2010) with the OS 10.8.5. After updating to the latest operating system and software updates, my Mac will not stay asleep for more than 5 seconds whether or not it's running plugged in or not nor will it stay asleep by closing the lid or by menu command. I ran Terminal to determine that I'm having an OHC2 issue.
I do not use any USB or Bluetooth device (BT is shut off), I'm not sharing any devices over the network, I've turned off all the wake up options in my system preferences, I've reset my SMC, but I'm still having this issue. I've googled "wake=OHC2" and have come across a bunch of people with problems, but no known solution. Please help, I'm tired of shutting off the computer everytime.Upon further searching, it appears the only proven fix is to either take the Mac to the Genius Bar or do a clean reinstall of the OS...which I'm not really sure how to approach.

How do I fix my computer charger if its not working?
I've been trying to find a way to get my charger to work but I still don't see any light. Nothing is showing to indicate that something is broken. It just doesn't want to work for me right now. I need help, if someone has already fixed this problem a solution would be much appreciated. Thanks
kaycface,
do you know whether it’s the charger that’s not working, or your MacBook Pro that isn’t charging?
Do you have access to another MacBook Pro? If so, you could try your charger with that other MacBook Pro, to see if it charges that. If it does charge the other MacBook Pro, then the problem lies with your MacBook Pro; if it doesn’t charge the other one, then the problem lies with your charger. -
I can connect to my Epson Stylus NX625 through my wireless network and print a page or two, but then the next time I go to print it says that the printer is not connected. Any fixes? I have tried deleting the printer and re-adding it to my MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.4, but sometimes it doesn't even find it, and other times it says it is connected, but when I go to print it says not connected. Very frustrated. I have also installed the latest drivers, etc.
What now?Your computer is going to run hot while playing CPU/GPU intensive games - it should heat up and the fans should be noticably loud. As to why it's 'crashing' - can you post a kernel panic log? You may have some third-party kexts that are causing the problems.

How do I fix my Macbook Pro (2010)?
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro that I was getting ready to sell. My screen had the wobble and I went to fix it. For some reason, when I put it all back together... the Mac will not boot correctly.
1.) There is no display
2.) It boots once and makes a drive noise, clicks and sounds as though it fails, and then the fan kicks in and it will stay on.
3.) It will not eject the CD
4.) You can power it down by holding the power button
5.) Does not make sound either
Ideas?
Thanks!Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:

If this does not help, contact Apple. -
How do I fix my macbook pro from displaying the wrong dates across the entire system?
Hello, for a while now my MacBook Pro has started to display the dates across the whole system weidly. The dates can go above 300/MM/YYYY. Is it the PRAM battery that could have run out or is it something else? Here is an example that I took today in the Calander application. As you can see it displays the 17 May, 2013 as 137 May 2013.
If there is a solution for this i would really want to know because this is starting to anoy me a little.
Here is an other example from skype
Edit: Ironicaly I found the solution right after posting this, no help is needed any more. Everything is fixed nowHave you looked at System Preferences>Date & Time?

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone, so I assume the issue is with my computer. My computer works fine on wifi networks elsewhere. The only problem is at home.
The computer "connects to the wifi," but browsers and other internet-dependent software do not work. Curiously, if I connect the ethernet cord that doesn't work either. Usually if I reset the modem to factory settings twice (for some reason, once doesn't do the trick), my computer will fully connect to the wifi. However, in a few days, it goes back to not working.
Today, resetting the modem didn't work. I could only get wifi connection while in safe mode, but not in normal mode. So, the issue seems to be software not hardware. I have tried starting new accounts in normal mode, but those also don't connect properly to internet.
Not sure if this is relevant, but this problem started when my building switched internet providers from ComHem to Telia (I live in Sweden).
What do you recommend I do?
Thanks!
PS I use Snow Leopard: OS 10.6.8Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect. -
How do I fix a MacBook Pro lag?
My MacBook is sometimes pretty laggy (if I see that rainbow circle one more time....). It randomly will lag just typing text into fields. It also majorly lags when opening any application (Microsoft Word, Adobe inDesign or Photoshop, etc.). I just verified my disk, and it even lagged for about 10 minutes before it caught back up with itself. Disk was fine, by the way.
I don't have a lot of applications open and I fully shut those down when I'm done with them. This is also a 13-inch Pro, early 2011 model. Plenty of storage left so that's not the issue. 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory, Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB.Here is that report for you:

my ipod 4g was working fine until i locked the screen but when i tried to turn it back on the screen stays black and its been 3 days. Does anyone know how i could fix this?
- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
