Mac Book Pro rebooting automatically

I just installed the latest update from Apple and now my machine is just restarting and rebooting automatically.
I cleaned out any dust, reset in safe mode but still rebooting.

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select  
View ▹ Show Log List   from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • I'm downloading the OS X Mavericks then in the process of downloading till 4.20GB it stops and shut down my Mac Book Pro and automatically restarted

    i'm downloading the OS X Mavericks then in the process of downloading till 4.20GB it stops and shut down my Mac Book Pro and automatically restarted. Any answers for this?

    The download is over 5GB's so yours is incomplete.
    You should be able to resume the download (instead of starting over) at the App Store.

  • Mac book pro rebooting then shutting down

    Everytime I turn my MAC book pro 13 inch laptop on, it takes me to the white screen with the grey apple logo and then starts to reboot. I'm not entirely sure of it's rebooting but something is loading and the background colour is white if that helps.
    Once it's about a quarter of the way through loading it starts showing a loading sign and the bar that's only a quarter of the way filled disappears. Then the screen turns black and it shuts down. Every time I turn my laptop on this happens. Please help.

    Megan.west,
    if you have Mac OS X 10.7 or newer installed, you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, select the First Aid tab if it’s not already selected, then press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the white screen and progress bar now?

  • Mac Book Pro rebooting repeatedly...

    A Mac Book Pro used by a professor in our building has been rebooting spontaneously. Can't observe a pattern...not during a certain program, etc. Observed it once in between installations, user said it's happened frequently since then, even when computer is just resting. Have verified disk and permissions are good. Any ideas about this?

    Sounds like a faulty memory module... have your professor run a Memory hardware test (using the original OS X install CD).

  • Mac Book Pro - Rebooting and Kernel Panic

    Hi Everyone,
    I hope that you're all well.
    I've recently sold my iMac and purchased a Mac Book Pro Mid 2010 edition (i7, 8gig Ram, 500mb disk). It has Mountain Lion 10.8.4 installed.
    and I am having problems with the machine and I hope that you might be able to help out.
    My machine is doing repeatedly doing, what I have learnt is, a Kernel Panic which is incredibly frustrating.
    When the system reboots it offers me the report below.
    Would someone be kind enough to let me know what the issue with my machine might be.
    With thanks
    James

    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:

    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. They should be more than willing to install a new logic board at no cost. I have no idea why this faulty GPU is making the headline here on the MacBook Pro forum so often now - could it be because Mountain Lion is just bringing the issue to a head more readily? I don't know - I only know that we're seeing more and more of these kernel panics of late.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Mac Book Pro Restarts automatically

    My mac book pro hangs for few seconds and then restarts. This problem has started after I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite. Please fix this.

    If you can't start up and log in in the usual way, try in safe mode.
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Log in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. If you have only one account, you are the administrator.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode.
    If you're able to log in, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.

    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 wakes automatically, mac book pro wakes automatically, mac book pro wakes automatically, mac book pro wakes automatically, mac book pro wakes automatically

    When I put my macbook pro to sleep, it will randomly turn back on all by itself. Sometimes it's in 5 minutes, sometimes it's 20  or could be in the middle of the night. I checked all the energy saver settings. Is someone hacking me, and how would I know? Or is my computer about to die? Thanks, lm

    Hey, I had the same problem about a year ago with my mac - I tried many suggestions (including energy saver, disconnecting USB drives and uninstalling printers) and none of these worked.  Then I stumbled across a post from some guy who said it was to do with airport and your computer searching for wireless if signal drops triggering the wake.  He offered a fix (sorry I can't recall what that was!) and it stopped my problem... Until a few days ago all of a sudden I am back at square one with random wakey wakey's.
    Unfortunately I never commented on his thread so it is not in my discussion history!!!  BARH!!  If I find it through keyword searching, I will be sure to share with you.
    The only changes that have occurred to my computer that coincide with the wake / sleep issue are updating word for mac, replacing track pad batteries (which I have done once already and this issue never occurred then) and installing dropbox.  I wonder if the cold of winter is waking mac.

  • Mac book pro 15" automatically shutsdown in every 12 seconds

    Hi
    I have MBP 15" for the past 14 months and very recently I started facing this problem. It shows automatically the option for shutting down if I leave the notebook untouched for 12 seconds. Neither 11 nor 13. Exactly 12 seconds.
    While using the notebook, it doesnt show up the option of shutting down. But if i leave it untouched for 12 seconds, thats where the problem comes & if i dont respond to it for 5 seconds from then, it gets switchedoff.
    Would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'd try resetting the SMC:

  • Can I use my mac book pro with 120 volt and 240 volt power supplies?  Does the power converter automatically switch, so I just need a different adapter plug?

    I got my mac book pro in the U.S., but I will be travelling to where there is 240 volt power.  Does the mag safe power adapter switch automatically, so I just need a converter plug, or do I need a transformer to convert from 240 to 120 volts?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    I too bought my Macbook Pro in the US and I live in the UK (its so much cheaper in the US! No 20% VAT!)
    The power adapter does work on UK 230v power. You can also get a three pin extension lead (like the 2 pin US one that came with the MBP) for about £3 with free delivery from Amazon UK.
    Another tip, whne you are back in the UK, and you are switching from a PC to a Mac, get in touch with your local Apple Shop who run one to one free courses on how to use your MBP.
    Hope This Helps!!

  • Yosemite downloaded and installed than Black screen.  all we have is a black screen. Traveling in Indonesia so no Apple store nearby. The screen does not respond to reboot in safe mode. Can anyone help to get the Mac Book Pro up and running again?

    We are in indonesia travelling and after downloading and installing Yosemite, on our next restart the screen went black and responds to nothing. Tried to reboot (shift key) in safe mode after first crashing the system but nothing responds except for the opening chime. Toal disaster so any help will be greatly appreciated. Judging by the comments I have read, Yosemite seems to have many issues for us to look forward to, if and when we can bring back the Mac Book Pro to life.

    See if you can boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down).  There you can reinstall the system.

  • My Mac Book Pro is slow and at times I have to reboot to connect to the net

    My Mac Book Pro is slow and at times I have to reboot to connect the net.  Also wondering how do I check if my software is up to date?  Thank you.

    To check to see if your software is up to date, go to >Software Update and you can check for updates.
    No idea why your Mac is slow--there could be a variety of things that could cause slowness. A good start would be to see if all your RAM is recognized. >About this Mac will show you how much RAM you have. You can also open Activity Monitor and check your RAM usage.
    Also, how full is your hard drive? You should have a minimum of 10% free space for the OS to operate properly, and 15% to 20% is better.
    No idea why you have to reboot to connect to the internet, but it could be related to the slowness. Rebooting will free up RAM among other things.
    Which MBP do you have and which version of the OS are you running?
