HT201177 My Macbook pro: After sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then blacks out. When I close the lid and reopen it the same thing happens. The screen only does this after waking up from sleeping. Help, thanks!
Macbook Pro:
When I raise the lid after sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then backs out. If I close the lid and raise it again, the same thing happens. It is sometimes necessary to force quit. Once restarted, there is no problem unless the lid is closed for a short time and the machinge goes to sleep.

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.
The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
"Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
"Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
Thanks for the help. -

I have a very old (by computer standards) MacBook Pro, and a newer one. I've been using the old one mostly for iTunes, into which I have only CD entries. For a long time, years, the old MacBook pro ceased entering the song titles. This is very time consuming for me, so I finally investigated a bit further.
I discovered how to enter the track titles onto my newer MacBook Pro, and was so pleased! But when I tried to do the same with the other laptop, it failed.
What I did, basically, was what the Apple Help suggested--choose iTunes General Preferences, etc.etc. And yes, I did upgrade the old laptop to the newest iTunes version.
Am I just wasting my time here? Is there some reason why an older Mac Pro will not do what the newer one will, with regard to iTunes?
My older laptop is a 2.6 GHz Core Duo; it has 36 GB of "memory available." The newer one a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7. It has 284 GB of memory available.

About a week ago, I purchased a subscription to Adobe CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I can access Photoshop but this screen still comes up asking me for the license number or if I want to continue the trial. The same thing happens with Lightroom, only it makes me sign in and takes me to the tutorials. I cannot access the actual program. Help!!!

when I close my browser and then reopen it, it does not go to the selected home page, but reopens with all of the previous tabs. reviewed the available knowledge based answers, but none seemed to fix problem. I'm not certain that I did everything correctly, but I believe I followed the directions properly. problem persists.
Assuming Firefox is set to start up with your home page, there are two common reasons for this:
* You have a user.js file instructing Firefox to ignore your previously saved settings and restore the earlier session. See this article on tracking down and removing that file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
* Firefox is crashing, and doing an automatic crash recovery. As a diagnostic, you can change what Firefox does during a crash recovery, from automatically restoring to showing a list of windows and tabs from your previous session so you can pick and choose what to restore.
''To try the change:''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and change the value from 1 to 0 and OK that.
Hope that helps. -
Vertical colored lines on screen of macbook pro after dropping it! Please Help!
So my macbook pro was on my bed when I fell asleep and I must have pushed it off during the night. Anyway, I opened it this morning and now I have black and colored thing vertical and horizontal stripes on the screen and I don't know what to do! Please give me any help or advice you can, I am really worried about it!
Best case scenario:
The LVDS connector was dislodged and will just need to be re-plugged.
Worst case:
The drive array to the display has become delaminated and the display will have to be replaced.
Since it's a Retina, do you still have Apple Care?
Are there visible signs of damage? Warping? Dings?
"when I fell asleep and I must have pushed it off during the night."
So anything could have happened. If I was your defense counsel I would say, "My client was asleep and has no actual knowledge as to what occurred, Your Honor." -

Having trouble connecting my macbook pro after switching security from default WEP to WPA2
Background: switched to verizon fios triple play last summer and everything has been great. I have one desktop PC and one Macbook pro laptop. These are the only computers that me and my family have used on this network. I'm a college student and went away to college and just came back for Thanksgiving break. I connected to the internet fine on my macbook pro, but I noticed that the little lock next to the SSID was no longer present. I'm extremely paranoid and diligent when it comes to computer security, so I quickly began googling why the lock was no longer there. I was afraid my wifi network was no longer "locked" or encrypted. So, after doing some more research, I ended up coming across WEP and how it's not really secure, so I went through all the steps to change it to WPA2. Everything went fine and the internet is working just fine on my PC.
Now here's the problem, I went on my macbook pro and was glad to see the lock sympol was present next to the SSID on the wireless pulldown. Unfortuantely, the password is apparently not working. First I thought the password was still the WEP key which you can find on the tag on the back of the router. It didn't work, so next I though it might be the wps pin, it didn't work. Then I typed in the password to log into the site where you can change the settings(the site where you get to by typing the ip address(I think or router address(?)). That didn't work either. So now I'm here looking for an answer. Hopefully someone can give me a solution which would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Nevermind........I just realized the password to the new WPA2 setting is the name you inserted when it asks you to name the WPA2.

Can I take my MacBook Pro back to the Apple store to have them transfer information from my HP?
I just bought my MacBook Pro yesterday and I was in kind of a rush so I just picked it up and then went home. So since I just bought it yesterday, can I bring my MacBook and my HP laptop to the store so they can transfer some of the information I want from my HP onto my MacBook, like my iTunes music? Also, if I can do that, do I just make an appointment with the genius bar or what? Thanks for your answers.
Why don't you do it your self? Here are the instructions:

Some apps crash out when I close their window and switch to the Finder
It has been doing this since day one. I'm a college student and bought a laptop to replace another really old mac system, to use as my main system. The issue I'm noting is that on some apps, if I close out their window and switch to the Finder, by either click on the desktop, or by command tabbing. The application seems to crash. I say 'seems' becuase I'm not certain it's crashing. It does this in Text Edit along with pages. I'm trying to find out if it's supposed to this or if it's supposed to be a new feature. There is never a crash log made that I know of, nor a dialog box stating the app crashed. However, it does this by itself, without my quiting out the app by command q nor file>quit.
This has been relatively minor and hasn't caused any large problems. To me it's an annoyance and inconviencning. Which is why I waited until summer break at school to investigate. Other classmates with older mac book pros but the same OS version have not had this problem. Wondering if I have a botched isntall of OS X from the factory. I've already had it in for service for the motherboard. The cooling system was not correctly attached to teh CPU at the factory and cooked itself.
I'm tempted to do a reload of the OS from the diagnostics partition the system came with. I haven't transferred much of anything from the previous system that this one is replacing. Now would be an ideal time to do anything of this nature rather than say in the middle of next semester.
The issue occurs in TextEdit, Pages, and that's it so far. I really have almost nothing loaded on the system. I dual boot into another OS for using Maya and other various software apps. The issue does not occur with Safari nor FireFox nor Preview. It seems confined to Pages and TextEdit. It can be extremely annoying however when typing an essay in Pages. Perhaps it's a feature that was introduced that I can turn off? Going from a 5 year old Mac Mini to a MBP, LOTS has changed.Sorry for taking so long to reply. It's still doing it. I'm kind of wondering if something like a preferences file is corrupted, however, I have to do a total system reload to begin with to eliminate any potential corrupt data on the windows 7 install.
Back story. When I first got this thing it was running super ridiculously hot. It's the first laptop I've ever owned however so I had nothign to use for reference. After about two months of it getting brutally hot, it did a BSOD in the windows 7 install I did via bootcamp. It never turned back on. Took it to the Apple store in Novi MI and they stated it somehow ran so brutally hot the CPU did a solder reflow and the whole motherboard shorted out. Even worse though, I had gotten this hot before rendering stuff in Maya and Vue. I had done burn in tests when I first received the system, it had passed, or so I thought. They couldn't even get the system to turn on at the Apple Store.
The tech at the apple store told me that one of the heat sink pins on the CPU just plan broke off and another wasn't attached correctly. Essentially the system kept overheating as I was consisently completely maxxing out the system doing CGI test renders for my junior animated short film. The cooling system was never fully connected at the factory according to the Apple Tech. I don't know how literate everyone reading this is on computer engineering but, when you overheat an IC, whether it's an ASIC or CPU, they dont' immediately crash, they corrupt data. To further complicate the mess and increase teh chances of data corruption, with the 4th gen Intel i series CPUs (which the MBP uses), they moved the northbridge directly into the CPU die. So if teh CPU is overheating, the chances of data corruption inadvertantly go up even higher. I'm suspecting that happened in the first few days of owning the system but that it was minor at that point. It can take months for the effects of corrupted data to propagate out and be visible to the user.
I would assume that they did a diagnostic test on the SSD when it was in for service, to ensure the SSD didn't overheat. The tech did state that if the drive failed the diagnostics, they would have ot replace the drive and henceforth all my data would be gone. Not really a way around it.
Currently under the windows 7 install with Maya and Vue, later iterations of the scene file, from Maya, for my animated short film, have a reproduceable glitch involving a gamma shift and camera selection. Part of the scene files seem to be corrupt and were saved that way.
Reloading the OS from the recovery partition did not fix the original problem I've been having that I initially asked for help with. I'm considering wiping out the recovery partition in addition to reinstalling windows 7 and OS X again, it would be the only way to completely eliminate the possibility of any corrupted data floating around on either partition. I don't have a way of knowing if corrupted data was written to the SSD beyond the corrupted Maya scene files. The only way I can be sure that it's 'contained' or eliminated, is if I completely wipe the drive and start from scratch. Now would be a great time rather than in the middle of working on my senior thesis for my BFA degree.
I'm wondering if you could point me to documentation showing how to wipe out all the partitions, including the recovery one. My understanding is that there is a way to do a 'net boot' or 'net recovery' over a broadband connection using Apples servers. The idea of doing a Live boot from a Ubuntu distro to run fsck is appealing but it would be pointless. The file system shoul be fine, it's the data the file system points to that I suspect is corrupted at somepoint. Unless you recommend otherwise and or formatting.
The overheating also corrupted my journal but there is no way to recover it, I overwrote the earlier file(it looks like uncompiled C++ and jibberished text) when I saved it after completing an entry. This was many months ago. Though the idea of attempting a restore with Ubuntu Remix or other recovery Linux distros is appealing I'm doubtful I'd get far, though it's an SSD not a traditional harddrive and they don't work the same.
Back to the main point though, I suspect the overheating corrupted a prefs file which is causing the glitch I'm seeing, and reloading the OS did not fix it. -
My iPad2 recently started to what appears to be a reboot - screen blanks and Apple logo appears. It has happened 3 times today with the screen just remaining 'blank' for several minutes before the logo appeared. Any ideas??? Do I have a defective iPad2? Any help appreciated.
If it were me, I would back up the ipad, restore it to the factory settings and then restore it from the backup.
That will give you back your settings and data, but will hopefully eliminate whatever is funky with the OS. -
Thanks guys...
Normally the voltage difference is not a problem because the charger can handle both.
I am not sure about the adapter plug: the wall sockets in UK and USA may be different, use a simple (earthed!) adapter for that if necessary.
The rest should be the same, although two keys on the keyboard might be different (@ is shift-2, try to find the other...).
gratulations with your gift,

For instance I'll be on youtube.com watching videos but after a while. When i click on a different video it stops working, kind of like when I'm not connected anymore, but I'm still connected.
After i restart or shut down then turn back on things work again for awhile. It doesn't seem like it's a specific website because it doesn't matter and after I restart the website works just fine for a while till it happens again.Please see the following articles [[Firefox Hangs]] and [[Firefox Crashes]]
