Hp v195b flash drive shuts down MacBook Pro when inserted

Hi I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
I bought two hp USB flash drive v195b today and inserted one of them into my Macbook Pro 5,3 with Mac OS X 10.6.8
When I inserted the flash drive a screen turned up in my computer and asked me to shut down my computer on the switch on/off button. This was the only thing the computer reacted to. Nothing else worked.
I then inserted the flash drive in an older macbook with Mac OS X 10.4.11. In this one I could see it and I tried to make a partition using the disc utility tool, but the flash drive still makes my MacBook Pro shut down?
Anyone tried this or have a suggestion to how I solve this?
Thank you, Sanne

    Do other USB devices work on your MBP?
    Does this USB stick work on other MBPs?
    There is a possibility that the stick requires more power than the MBP delivers.  Try it on a powered hub.

  • Lighting bolt port shuts down macbook pro

    lighting bolt port shuts down macbook pro once the cable is pugged in. What is the cause of this problem

    Hi reginaldt,
    If your Mac unexpectedly turns off when you plug in a cable (unclear if you are describing a USB Lightning cable or a Thunderbolt cable) and you have checked to make sure there is no debris in either the cable jack or port, you may want to try resetting the PRAM and SMC:

  • Facetime shuts down MacBook Pro

    Did anybody else experience this with Facetime 0.9? It runs for a couple of minutes, then the computer shuts down unexpectedly. I've tried running it on a near fresh install of SnowLeopard on an external drive, but same thing happens.

    Hi,
    I have the MacBook Pro 1,1 with the 2Ghz Core Duo chip.
    Mine was a Built to Order with the Hard Drive change to the larger one (that they had at the time) and the Extra RAM that could be pre-installed (Max 2Gb)
    The Drive has a small (20Gb) space given over to Boot Camp and Windows.
    I have CS 3, Photoshop Elements 6, TacoHTML, Skitch that I use regularly on there as well as CIV4 (which Distracts me from doing anything that serious on it at the moment). I also have iWork 08 Installed, iMovieHD, iLife and few other things
    As EZ Jim has said I can run Facetime and iChat at the same time (in fact see Previews and Complete Video calls on both).
    I could call out to EZ Jim's Mac and his Touch without issue from my end.
    Accepting calls from EZ Jim's Touch were the problematic connections we tried.
    I run Little Snitch which is an Utility which will tell you/Ask for Confirmation for each connection any Incoming or outgoing internet connection an App will make.
    I tired turning Off Little Snitch at my end as the Connection was closing the App at the exact point I hit the Allow Button in Little Snitch.
    I have 5 Crash Logs. (Home Folder/Library/Logs/Diagnostic Reports)
    It is always the Last thread number wise that has Crashed although the actual number does vary.
    None seem to implicate Little Snitch from what I can see.
    In fact the things listed in the so called Crashed Thread point to things I know work (as in they are the same in successful chats and iChat Video Chats - mostly the Core and viceroy.framework)
    My understanding is that as well as 10.6.4 you have to have the relevant Security Update as well
    There is a Link to both 2010-006 and 2010-005 in the lower box on the left here http://www.apple.com/support/snowleopard/

  • MacBook Pro will not charge when Computer is on. Can only charge when shut down, MacBook Pro will not charge when Computer is on. Can only charge when shut down

    Hi can anyone help me? My MacBook Pro cannot charge at all (keeps showing not charging or not connected) when i am using it. only when i shut it down or let it sleep then wil it begin to charge normally. Does anyone know what to do??

    You could always try a SMC reset -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 - but I don't believe that will solve your problem.
    If I were you, I would take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem. It could be something very simple or it may be something more complex within the power management system.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Macbook Pro Shuts Down / MacBook Pro Doesn't Start Properly

    I just had this problem today. When I tried to wake the macbook pro back from sleep, it didn't wake up, after closing and reopening the screen several times. Thus, I forced quit it by holding the switch button. Now, when I tried to start the macbook pro, the computer automatically shuts down in less than 3 seconds. I have tried resetting the PRAM and all that stuff but they don't seem to work. Has anyone had this issue before?

    I am having this exact problem. In my case, I shut down my MBP before going to work. Once I reached work, I tried restarting and it shuts down almost immediately. I've already tried most solutions, but as I am at work, I have not been able to try the cd solution. Any help would be welcome as I do not want to have to reinstall the OS.

  • Draining battery to 0% shuts down MacBook Pro-10.5.6

    On previous laptops and this laptop prior to 10.5.6, when calibrating the battery by letting it drain to 0%, I could immediately reconnect the laptop to the power adapter and then wake it, leaving all of my programs as they were. I was doing this before 10.5.6 and it worked the same way. I just recently, since upgrading to 10.5.6, tried this and the laptop shuts down completely, no sleep. I then have to do a complete power up.
    I hope this bug can be fixed as I don't know how I'll ever be able to properly drain the battery to 0% without having to shut down everything on the laptop just as it gets toward zero.
    I just confirmed that my 17" MacBook Pro (~1.5 years old) works - it is on 10.5.6, too, so there must be something specific about 10.5.6 and the new late-2008 MacBook Pro's and batteries that's causing the complete shut down.
    Has anyone else experienced this or do you have any suggestions on how to improve the situation?
    Thanks,

    Hello there,
    I was experiencing these issues and I do believe I have a solution to this. First, let me explain the process so that everyone understands what's supposed to happen:
    When your battery gets too low, the computer is supposed to induce something called "Safe Sleep". Its a lot like Windows Hibernation. On safe-sleep boot, your computer attempts to detect its previous state. When the system detects a hibernated sleep, it attempts to recover that data. If it can't, it leaves safe sleep mode and restarts as normal.
    So, it doesn't necessarily have to be your battery that is the culprit, it probably actually is your safe sleep hibernation file that can't be written to for whatever reason.
    Here is what you do to fix the problem:
    First, navigate and open this file in finder:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    When you open this file, Property List Editor should open and you should see the following Hierarchy:
    1. Root:
    1.1 Active Power Profiles
    1.2 Custom Profile
    Click the arrow (>) next to Custom Profile.
    Now you should see AC Power and Battery Power. You can open either one of those.
    You should see an item under those trees called Hibernate File. Take note of this files location. On most computers, it should be located at /var/vm/sleepimage
    Quit Property Editor and then switch to finder.
    Click Go and then Go To Folder:
    In that box, type the directory name: (eg.) /var/vm
    Click Ok.
    Now you should see a couple of files. You should see the file sleepimage.
    Select that file, then click the File Menu and then Get Info.
    System should have read and write access.
    If all is well there, delete that file. Finder will ask you for an Administrators password.
    Once deleted, shutdown your computer.
    Then on restart, you will need to perform a PRAM Reset. You can find information on zapping your PRAM here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Once you do that, allow your battery to run down again and it should hibernate properly.

  • Can't shut down MacBook pro

    When I try to shut down my MacBook Pro it goes as far as the spinning wheel on the blue screen and will not complete the shutdown. I have to hold the power button to shut down completely.
    Both disk and permission repair does not solve the problem.
    Did a reinstall of Snow Leopard and still have the same problem.
    Help please.

    Check the directory*:

  • After shutting down MacBook Pro, it will only turn on after changing power outlets

    The last few times i have manually shut down my macbook, and attempted to turn it back on several hours later, it wont turn on again. The battery level is fine, I've tried with and without battery connection, and I have reset the PRAM and SMC on the keyboard, but it still wont turn on.
    SOLUTION:
    The only way it WILL turn on is if I change the charger and move it onto to another powerboard.
    It can't be the power outlet as both say that the computer is charging.
    It also can't be the power outlet as this has happened at home as well as at uni.
    Any ideas why it might be doing this and what I can do about it (other than never turning it off) would be helpful.
    The rest of the computer runs fine.

    I tried those already, did not work.
    I did how ever remove the command key and wiped it down and it turns on perfectly!
    but now the keyboard keys seem to be out of place or something. For example it makes a "ping" sound when i hit some of them, when i hit function or control it puts the letter Z.
    Any input would be great!

  • Shutting down macbook pro

    The shutting down of my macbook at times is hanging or takes long ever since I upgraded the operating system to Lion. I am forced to hold down the on button for some seconds to shut it down manually. What could be the course of this?

    Dear all,
    at las I managed to get away with this problem. I found out that I had a problem with one of my RAM.
    Now I am lookng at replacing it with a new one soon.
    I am using only one 4GB at the moment and the problem is gone and all is workng well now.
    Guy who are facing the same problem, better check that your RAM is okay. This could be one of the reasons to your problems.
    Thank you all.

  • How do I transfer my documents of of my flash drive onto my macbook pro?

    Do you see it in Disk Utility?
    Ciao.

  • New FAT32 flash drive works on Macbook Pro, but not on my iMac?

    Both Macs are updated to at least 10.6. Yet the brand new flash drive fails to even show up on my iMac and it is not in disk utility either.
    Thoughts?  Thanks!

    I called Adobe and they, without exaggeration, told me that they couldn't support Spry items and that I had to go the this forum for answers.  What BS!
    Its not the first time I hear that. Its clearly a Dreamweaver issue instead of Spry issue.
    In design mode, if you hover over the inserted menu bar, does it get a blue color? If yes, what happens if you click the blue label "Spry Menu Bar: Menubar{x}"? It should display in the properties panel.
    If not could please provide us with a screenshot?

  • How can I open my flash drive with my MacBook Pro? I can't find it on FINDER!

    My USB port can't open it!

    Do you have your Finder preferences set to show all devices:
    If so, and the USB flash drive is not showing up in the Finder, can you see it in Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities)?
