Mac book pro closes applications when entering standby

After some time on unused (about 2 hours), my macbook pro 13" apparently ends the session alone and closes all open applications that are waiting before enteringstandby. After returning to the computed (by pressing the ESC), the system comes back like I'm turning on the computer at that time. Has anyone been there?

I am having the exact same issue as above. I checked the preferences and security and mine is not set to log out after inactivity. Any other suggestions?

How can I restart my mac book pro 11 inches when it's on target disc mode

Even if you could open Disk Utility you can't reformat a disk while you are booted from it. You will have to use the install CD. Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page and give them the serial number of your Mac. You should be able to get the Snow Leopard install disks for a nominal fee.

Mac Book Pro switches off when you open Safari!

Hi people.
I am new Mac Book Pro user, have had it for a few months now and all is good, however I have an issue and that is that everytime I open safari and open a new tab the machine switches off! To turn it back on I need to wait for 30 seconds or so and then power it on. An error report is shown upon login and it happens again when safari opens.
Any ideas??

Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

My mac book pro gets stuck when connected to internet

hello.
I recently changed ISP and router...
I noticed that when I connect to the wifi of my house my mac book pro gets stuck. the color spinning wheel (of death) starts and shows forever and I can't click anything after that. I can turn off the mac only by forcing quitting (holding down the power button).
i checked the hard disc at disc utility and everything is ok
when i restart and turn the air port off it doesn't get stuck...
Please help!

I recently changed ISP and router...
Do you have an apple router at all??
If so which one?
when i restart and turn the air port off it doesn't get stuck...
So you are plugged into the main router by ethernet??
Are you actually running Lion??
If not what are you running? And if it is that all round Stinker Yosemite.. no surprises there.
As far as the computer is concerned clear out all the old wireless names.. shut down the computer.. restart the computer and rediscover the wireless again and put in the password. Does that help??
Old laptop and upgrade install bad news all round.

First thing to try, reboot from the Mac OS X install disk that came with your machine. When it starts up, select your language, then choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard drive in the list and then, in the First Aid tab, click Repair Disk (NOT Repair Disk Permissions). If there were problems that were repaired, try rebooting again and see if the problem is gone.
Alternately, if you have upgraded that machine to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7), you can hold down command-R at startup to enter recovery mode, and then open Disk Utility from there and do the same repairs.
Let us know what the results are for further assistance, if the problems continue after repairing.

I just bought this use mac book pro, and automatically when i try to go on the apple store to upgrade, its an other ID

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It is not safe to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1a. If you don't own another Mac
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
1b. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
2. Partition and install OS X
If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

Mac Book Pro Locks up when opening Date and Time system preferences

Hi,
I have a macbook pro which i have had for about 6 months and i am so pleased with it. But now i have a problem.
Everytime i go into system preferences and then to the date and time settings it locks up. The date and time settings window will appear and looks normal but i cant do nething with it, and when i hover over the window with my mouse i get the little spinning coloured mouse icon. The only way i can then exit it is to "Force Quit" it. I reinstalled mac os x last night, to see if this would fix the problem, but it did not, and have received all updates for it.
I used to have a problem where the time would be either 1 hour fast or 1 hour slow and this would keep changing by itself everytime i started the computer.
Regards
Charlie

Thanks for the replies guys...
Yes, the date/time is set to auto and the source is "Apple Americas/US (time.apple.com)"
One thing I noticed is that whenever it hangs for 45 sec or so.....once the window shows up (after hanging), the lock for changes is "open".....but if I lock it at that point, close the window and then rt click on time and open Date/Time again, it does not hang......somehow when this is "locked", it does not hang when you want to open it.
But, if u are in the lock mode, and want to "click the lock" to make changes, it hangs on you again......hope this makes sense.

Have you reset the SMC and PRAM?

I have a five week old mac book pro and today when it was powered up the screen went white and is shows a folder icon with a flashing ?...

Any body had similar problem, can I fix it?

A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac

I have a mac book pro 2010 and when i turn it on i get the gray apple logo and a spinning wheel.

it acts like it's going to download, but gets halfway through and turns back off. i've tried to put it in safe mode by holding the shift button down, but it wont do anything..

Use the original installation disk and get into Disk Utility.
Insert the DVD in your MBP as if you will be installing the OSX.
When you get to a display where there is a menu bar on top, click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility.
Op[en Disk Utility.First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
Ciao.

Comment installer idvd sur un mac book pro retina ? Ou quel logiciel de gravage DVD vidéo ce mac ?

Je possède un iMac et j'utilise énormément cette application iDVD qui reste encore un des meilleurs moyens pour offrir un film souvenir sur un support exploitable par la majorité des personnes.
Son absence sur le mac book pro me laisse perplexe, surtout lorsqu'on y ajoute un lecteur superdrive, on pourrait s'attendre à ce qu'il appelle une mise à jour système pour l'installer.
A moins que vous n'ayez une autre application à me conseiller.

Google translation:
I have an iMac and I use a lot the iDVD application is still one of the best ways to deliver a movie on a memory readable by most people.
His absence on the mac book pro perplexing, especially when combined with a SuperDrive drive, one would expect it called system update to install.
Unless you have another application to advise me.
Apple stopped supporting iDVD over a year ago. It is no longer included on any Macs regardless if it has a superdrive or not.
If your iMac came with iDVD preinstalled you can use the disks that came with the iMac to do a custom install of iDVD and its themes on the MacBook Pro. The disk will look like one of these:
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Happy New Year

Mac book pro won't accept my password! Help!

My mac book pro is saying im entering the wrong password when I log on to my user. My uncle randomly entered the password a million times and it worked that is how im typing this but i don't want my laptop to sleep and not be able to log on. I go to change my user password and enter the old password and it says its wrong! I don't know what to do and i'm freaking out. Anyone can tell me what is going on?

If you have a 2011 that is running Lion or Mountain Lion, restart holding the Command and R keys. From the Utilities drop down, select Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, type exactly:
resetpassword
And press enter or return.
When the Reset Password window opens, highlight the user you want to change, and type the new password, twice, ignore the Hint box, and Save...then confirm in the dialog that pops up.
Then at the lower right corner accept or OK.
Then go to the apple upper left corner of the menu bar and choose Restart.
You will then have a new password to use.
