Problem solved (by the Mac store technicians): software I'd installed (DoubleCommand) was causing something called 'kernel panic.' The software was uninstalled and the machine works fine now.

    From previous experience 3 indicates a shutdown initiated by the SMC (System Management Controller) — hardware responsible for many low-level functions including power, sleep, lights, and fan activity.
    Try resetting it:
    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.

  • MBP won't wake from sleep with lid down

    This has been happening ever since the installation of 10.8.2. i can put my MBP to sleep and leave the lid open, and it will wake without issue. but, if i put it to sleep and then close the lid, the next morning, it will not wake.
    when i open the lid, the white "sleep" light goes away, but the display is still black. my only recourse is to force shut down and restart.
    has anyone else experienced this?

    Does this problem still exist in the newer versions of the OWC firmware?
    While my SSD is not an OWC, I've been having this issue with my OCZ Vertex 2, also based on the Sandforce chip.
    OCZ's most recent firmware (1.32) has fixed the issues related to hibernation (i.e. "safe-sleep") but the drive still has issues waking from timed inactivity sleep.
    I wrote about it on their support forums in this thread:
    http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?86538-Hibernation-works-b ut-wake-from-auto-timer-sleep-problem-still-present-in-1.32
    One of their support staff (who has been very helpful in ironing out the hibernation problems) replied with:
    "I can tell you this new FW build has been fully validated by Apple at their labs, it may be possible your machine while fine with hdd may have an issue with newer ssd...or the line of macbooks with this issue are looking now for an efi update.
    I will pass this back to SF but I suggest you also contact Apple and ask if a new EFI update is coming."
    While my machine doesn't often sleep due to inactivity, it does happen. I am not a fan of the suggestion to set inactivity sleep to never. While this is a way around the problem, I don't consider it a solution—I would like the security of knowing that if I ever walked away from my machine on battery power for a few hours, I would be able to return to something that hasn't completely drained itself of battery.

  • How to properly shut down your Macbook?

    Hello, I have been using a Macbook Pro for nearly a year now. I would like to know what is the proper way to shut down your macbook?
    I went to iStudy for some app instalment and the sales asisstant gave me a piece of (advice?) that whenever I want to shut down my macbook, i should just snap it close after I have quit all the running applications. I don't have to press the shut down button on the keyboard or choose shut down at the apple upper menu bar cause it may damage my RAM.
    Yet, I knew this girl who just paid 2K just to fix her motherboard due to improper way of shutting down her Mac.
    So, my problem is do you have to shut your Mac down JUST by snapping it close (and of course, quit all the running applications)? Or you shut your Mac down by simply go to the Apple in the upper menu bar and choose shut down?

    Hi alswaki,
    When you close all apps and then physically close it, you are putting the Mac into Sleep mode, not shutting it down. So, it depends on what you actually want to do. When you go to the Apple menu and select Shut Down, it literally shuts off the Mac, and you have to push the on/off button to start it back up. By closing the lid, you are putting it into Sleep mode so when you open the lid again, the Mac doesn't have to be powered back on to start up again.
    Both are correct things to do. I pretty much don't shut down my Mac at all. I close my apps, and close the lid, then plug it in to recharge. When I want to use it, I open it and it "wakes up". I only restart it when I need to for an update, I pretty much never shut it down.
    But again, either way is fine to do. If you want to completely power down your Mac when you finish using it for the day, then you would select the Shut Down option. Otherwise, just close it to put it into Sleep mode when not in use.
    Cheers,

  • HT1338 I was backing up my MacBook with Time Machine on my new (correctly formatted) external hard drive.  It was going fine when my 2 yo knocked the hard drive.  Now TM said "failed" and the Mac refuses to recognize the external hard drive.  Help please?

    I was backing up my MacBook with Time Machine and using my new (correctly formatted) external hard drive.  All was going well when my 2 yo knocked the disk leading to a "failure" by time machine (Latest Backup:  Failed).  Now the MacBook will not even recognize the hard drive.  I have rebooted, tried all I can think of, but no acknowledgement of the drive.  The drive itself makes noise and vibrates as if working, but nothing from the Mac.  Please help or $100 down the drain...  Thank you.

  • I went to bed and in the next morning my mac just didnt turn on

    I used to leave my macbook black downloading a lot of stuff in the night, so i leave it downloading a lot of programs and i went to sleep, in the next morning i woke up and i realized that my mac didnt turn on. why???? I went to the mac workshop and tehy told me that it was problem of the motherboard, why??? it had never happened before and i leave it in my desk. Soooo?? What do you think?

    I only had one year of warranty, so the first time the problem was the motherboard, ok they fixed my mac, 3 months later i have the same problem the motherboard is death and now i dont have a warranty because it is over, so im in a huge problem and i think this is not fair, i mean it cant happen the same problem twice during 3 months, i think this is a problem of design or something weird, i dont deserve this. I havent finished to pay my mac, this is just not fair. What can I do? I should demand

  • Running With the Lid Down

    Hi...
    I would like to run maintenance applications at night and do screen sharing with my macbook pro - but I would like to have the lid down on my laptop while doing these various functions...
    Is it possible? What would be my settings?
    Comments, suggestions and opinions are welcome
    Thank you in advance...

    You can only run it with the lid down if you connect an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

    sonjadg,
    you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update  to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.

  • Closing The Screen/Lid on my Macbook

    I am new to this forum and I am hoping I can make some contributions and indeed get some assistance from the group for my new Macbook. I have switched over having been a windows user for 10 years plus.
    I like to view DVDs on my Dell 22" screen and I have a small problem..
    I dont want to have both screens on at the same time...and when I close my Macbook lid, it powers down.??
    Can I set this up so I only have one screen on..and can I set my power options so that when I close the lid on my Macbook, it does not shut down.?
    Any advice much appreciated
    Regards
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Apple family. What you're referring to is "clamshell" mode, check out this link for more explanations:

    The important thing with this mode is consistency with your peripherals.

  • 4 a quick star--Can I close my macbook while Time Machine is doing it's bz

    Can I close my macbook while Time Machine is doing it's thing?
    I've read some conflicting info on sleep and TM
    It seems like I should be able to close it and walk away while it does its business.
    I'm all confused ???

    If closing your lid forces the machine to sleep, you will force TM to abort.
    If closing the lid allows TM to continue, then it's OK.
    TM does not work while the computer is sleeping.
    Since TM usually takes a minute or less after the first backup unless you have created a large file, why close the lid?
    My last backup took 1 minute 30 seconds. Hardly time to close the lid and open it again.
    I'm doing a full backup so it's taking awhile.
    Do people leave their external drive plugged in with TM on all the time??
    For me , I'm sure once a week or so will be fine.

  • Crashed OS MacBook Lion Time Machine Question

    I have an older back up of my MacBook in Time Machine on a external hardrive.
    Is is possible to add to the backup in target mode? The computer will not boot right now, but I can get to the volumes via target. I can access the revovery HD when I hold down the option key starting up.
    The MacBook has some sort of infixable sibling error, which is getting pregressivly worse. Additionally I've up graded to Lion since the Origional back up and partioned the drive, so it wouldn't really match the origional Time Machine back-up.

    I really appreciate both your efforts but let me clarify a few things here before you continue posting incorrect information.
    #1 - I have not done anything in the Finder that will hurt anything. Opening a folder in finder is like going to the terminal and running a "ls" command.
    #2 - The reason for my original post is becaue this is def. a bug or undocumented feature. Time Machine backups should be backwards compatible.
    There is no reason for me to open Time Machine and not be able to open an older backup done in Snow Leopard, UNLESS, it is an expected issue. If this is the expected behavior, the first time one connects the drive, the system should provide some type of warning.
    Time Machine displays my older backup dates in Time Machine, but I can't select them to read, restore or anything. Then I went to the finder to open the connected USB drive to confirm if the files were there or not, as my hard drive space is still occupied.
    You CAN manually copy files from a Time Machine backup drive. This causes NO ISSUES, unless you start messing with the files that Time Machine uses to organize the data being displayed on the app.
    I am a systems engineer, web developer, and systems analyst. I work on multiple operating systems (Unix, Windows, Solaris, Linux all flavors, and Mac OS). I have been working with operating systems since the MS-DOS no-Windows era. There is a very slim chance that I will mess up any operating system, especially OS X.
    So, let me re-phrase my question: Is OS X Lion Time Machine backwards compatible or can it not ready Snow Leopard Time Machine generated backup files?
    Thank you for any well informed replies.

  • Why is it that after using I-Tunes then closing it I can't shut down my MacBook Pro

    If I open I-Tunes then close it the next time I go to shut down my MacBook Pro it just sits there with a gray screen and a spinging wheel all night  It does'nt do that with any other app's

    Weird.  If this were happening to me, I would check/reset the Energy Saver preferences having to do with startup scheduling and or automatic restart. I would also consider deleting associated preference files in /Library/Preferences. I would also try resetting the System Management Controller and/or resetting NVRAM and PRAM.

  • Yosemite upgrade slowing down my Macbook

    Hi - I recently upgraded to Yosemite OS X and it has slowed down my Macbook (2011 model, 2Gb RAM). Everything runs painfully slow - booting up, opening any applications, opening Chrome, Thunderbird - EVERYTHING. Its been suggested I add RAM but not being a techie Mac user i havent a clue how to do that and not really sure i want to throw more RAM at an old-ish machine. I read on the forum about EtreCheck and am hoping this report may help me get some answers?
    Thanks

  • Updated Trophy, powered overnight on charger - black screen next morning

    I updated my Trophy, then plugged it into the charger overnight. The next morning, I have a black screen with 3 thin blue/green lines & what looks like a crack in the screen in the form of a white irregular line - but the glass is intact. The phone seems to work, I did a restore to the last backup & it completed successfully. Tried taking the battery out to completely power down, tried doing a restart - no luck. Went by the Verizon store & immediately "Its cracked." I keep it in a case, the condition is immaculate even though I've had it for 8 months or so. Any opinions on whether I should keep trying stores for a different opnion, or just bite the bullet & do an insurance claim? Although I'm tempted to just apply the $$ to the breakup fee & kiss Droidzon goodbye.
