Immediately restarts after I shut my macbook pro down

I bought a macbook pro last week. And now I can not get it to shut down. When I shut it down it immediately restarts. When I want to put it in "sleep" mode it won't stay there unless the computer is closed.

I don't have an exact answer for you, but I remember reading about this in an old Mac-Forums.com post. I did a quick search and found it. Hope it is helpful....

  • I went away for a week and shut my MacBook Pro down. Since being back it has been super slow so I decided to restart it. Now it gets stuck at the white screen with the apple and spinning circle. HELP!!! I tried restarting over again and it didnt help.

    Sometimes it will stay at the apple screen and sometimes it just shuts back off. The battery is fully charged.

    I'm pretty sure it's mountain lion. Neither of your links worked tho, but thanks for trying! I'm new to Macs and only really know the basics of how to use it. When I power on and hold the option key I can chose to recover my Mac. What will that do? Will I lose pictures and stuff? I just went to Mexico and all my pics are on there and I'd hate to lose them, also lots of pics of my little boy.
    Hmmmm, they are both working for me.   What happened when you clicked on the links?  Any error messages?

    After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?
    Nach der Installation von Mavericks kann ich weder das MacBook Pro (2 x 2.4 GHz) noch den MacMini (2 x 2.66 GHz) herunterfahren. Es bleibt ein dauerhafter grauer Bildschirm. Nach 20 min habe ich einen erzwungenen Neustart durchgeführt.
    Ausserdem startet die Macs wesentlich langsamer als mit OS X 10.6.8.

    same here...  sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't!!

  • Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

    can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

    What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
    You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
    But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.

    Hold down the Power button for 5-10 seconds until the computer shuts down. Restart. Report what state the computer is in at that time.

  • After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine.  How do I get my music back????

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

  • Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

    Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
    It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
    Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
    What can I do?
    How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
    Thanks

    Hey StephSassine,
    First, I would run through these steps:
    Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
    Increase disk space
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
    If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
    Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
    Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
    Select the disk you want to check.
    Click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
    via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions   
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
    If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version

    After not using my macbook pro for 10 days, my wireless mouse no longer works. I had the computer turned off. I've changed the batteries, gone to universal preferences, mouse preferences but the computer won't recognize the mouse. Any suggestions?

    Got it. Thanks. I deleted the mouse (not an apple, but a logitech which has worked fine for me) and then re-discovered it and it's working. Appreciate the advice.

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable to make FaceTime calls via your Mac or your iPhone.  Here are the best two articles that I would recommend going through for this issue.

  • HP P1006 DOES NOT PRINT after upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15 i7

    HP P1006 does not work after upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15 i7 2,6 with Mac OS 10.6.3
    I have used Time Machine to migrate from my previous MBP 15 C2D.
    I've tried to remove the printer in system pref. and install it again.
    The installer works fine but close to the end of the installation a new app is starting: HP Laserjet Firmware Update Utility, which won't start and just stays jumping at the dock, although the HP Installer succeeds to finish installing.
    So when i try to print, the printer stays idle.
    I have tried to download the installer from HP official website. Same story.
    Also tried to do Permission Repair in Disk Utility
    Please, if anyone knows a solution, help!

    After the 4th try of Installing the software it finally worked!
    Thanks anyway!

  • Macbook Pro Down Arrow key fell off.

    Macbook Pro Down Arrow key fell off. Any DIY, or does it have to go to the store? I'm fairly certain the local MacAuthority has a fix, but i'd like to get it done now. I saw a 30 minute long youtube video about it, but he doesn't mention the arrow keys. The only thing similar is the small function keys. And I don't think it's the same mechanism.

    Hello brooklinekilla,
    I would be concerned too the up arrow key on my keyboard was not working.  I found an article that can assist with further isolating and troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard.  I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep telling me I have to hold down my power button until it shuts down and then restart?, Why does my Macbook Pro keep telling me I have to hold down my power button until it shuts down and then restart?

    While transferring files from one external hard drive to another, my MacBook Pro routinely would freeze and often render a message to hold down the start button until it shut down and then restart. I have i7 why does it keep locking up?

    You can go back to original hardware; run Apple Hardware Test even.
    Remove 3rd party RAM ( much rarer I think )
    USB printers, cables, devices and drivers.
    What changed?

  • Unable to access/modify wifi after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

    I've just installed Mavericks OS X on my 2011 MacBook Pro. Although quite slow, everything seemed to go smoothly during the installation process. Once booted up in the new OS, I noticed immediately that I had no wifi connection on the device. I am unable to enable/disable the wifi, and more troubling, any attempt to make changes to Network settings seems to freeze up the System Preferences application. Once this occurs, the machine is basically useless. A series of restarts, shut downs, safe-mode boot ups, etc and eventually I was just getting a blank grey screen after startup (no login screen, mouse visible and working). At this point, I booted via the recovery partition and did a full re-install of the Mavericks OS X. Not surprisingly, it did not fix any of the problems.

    Very strange problem (no surprise to you).
    I suggest you reset the SMC (and PRAM, if you are able). That cannot hurt and might help.
