MacBook Pro - display turns black in iPhoto and Photoshop

My screen display has suddenly started blacking out in iPhoto and Photoshop with occasional display glitches appearing at other times.
Running Disk Utility brings up the follow error:
Checking extended attributes file.
Incorrect number of extended attributes(It should be 619782 instead of 619781)
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
File system check exit code is 8.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
I don't know if this is additional to the graphics card/display issues, or the root cause but on running Disk Utility from this mode, no errors are being reported!? And I'm back to square one. Is there any other software I can run to investigate and repair?
Thanks for looking.

Macbook Pro screen turns black and has to be force restarted

I have a 2010 15 inch Macbook Pro that I purchased for college and that is mainly what I use it for! However lately (the past 3 months) my computer has been turning black with use of videos, pictures and sometimes just my broswer in general. It does not seem to have a reason or pattern but always gives me this panic report after restart. Any Ideas?

Macbook Pro Display Blank/Black - Replaced LCD

Hi all - I recently started working on a Macbook Pro for a coworker that had dropped their MBP. The LCD was broken, but the computer was still functional, as I saw that the OS booted normally. So, we ordered a replacement LCD.
The first LCD was dead (or so we thought), so a replacement was given by the LCD distributor. Same deal.
Dead monitor, I have tried the following unsuccessfully:
-reset PRAM
-reset PMU
-new inverter, new cable - neither worked
Any thoughts?

OK--so this is an original MBP. You are in the late 2008-early 2009 section of the forum, so I am going to request that your post be relocated to the original MBP section.
Have you tried an external display? If you get good graphics on an external, it will be further conformation that the graphics chip is OK.
I am puzzled as to why the original display worked, but two separate replacements did not. I have heard of the brightness indicator getting stuck all the way to the left, so that the display remains black. Can you see the desktop at all by shining a bright light through the apple? If so, maybe you could go to System preferences>Desktop and see if the slider is stuck, and if so, move it to the right.
Good luck!

My 2010 Macbook Pro display is distorted upon startup and I can't login or see apple icon/progress bar. How do I go about fixing it? Thanks.

I have a 17" MAcbook Pro purchased late 2010. Recently has developed some display problems, y'day ran in safe mode and it fixed it and I was able to login etc., This morning when I boot up, it shows display distorted and I can't see apple logo or progress bar etc., and am unable ot login. I need to atleast be able to recover my files before I give it for fixing (if it needs to be repaired). Any steps you folks recommend for me to run? Any diagnostics or other tips? If I run safe mode, it seems to hang after a while and it is hard to read the screen to know exactly where it is stuck.....as the display has problems.
Thanks for your help.

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Why does my MacBook Pro suddenly turn really really slow and make a really loud fan noise?

Whenever I turn on my MacBook is runs perfectly fine for 2 minutes but then it turns really slow (to the point that it takes ages to move the mouse cursor and to type) and make a really loud fan noise. What should I do to fix this?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's a process that is taking up the RAM and CPU. Open Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities), and select "All Processes" above "Show" in the toolbar. Then, order processes by CPU, and tell me which processes you see that are consuming more CPU

Resolution of MacBook Pro display - always this fuzzy??

I should have done my homework, but...
I'm very sensitive to the fuzziness of the MacBook Pro display (especially the nearly grey and poorly defined letters on Word) and, to tell the truth, it's making my stomach turn and giving me a headache. I just received this computer through work, can't return it, and I'm stuck with it for three years now. what can I do or purchase to make the display CRYSTAL CLEAR (as in laser print quality)?
Will an external monitor help? Which one?
How can my iPod touch look so brilliant and this $2,500 laptop so archaic?
Thanks for any and all help,
Ants

The reason your iPod Touch looks sharper is that it has a much higher pixel density than the MBP. Your iPod's screen is 163 ppi (pixels per inch) versus 110 ppi for the MBP. However, if it looks very fuzzy, I would agree with the other responder that your resolution isn't set to the screen's native resolution (1440 x 900) or that you are zoomed in (press control and scroll down on your mouse scroll wheel or two-fingered scroll on with the trackpad).

I have a macbook connected to LED cinema display. The display started to flicker. The display turns black for a second or two. Sometimes I restart macbook and display. Sometimes it helps.

same issue, either your wiring or display itself is going bad. for me, it was the display but luckily still under warranty

My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark on it when it turns on. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark and won't open. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

it means your HD and the software can't find each other, the following article tells how to troubleshoot this issue:
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
hopefully you have backup of your data since sometimes this means the HD is crashing.
if the article doesn't resolve the issue i would take the mac to apple store or service provider and have it looked at, the following link tells how to find one close to you:

good luck!!

How can I turn my Macbook Pro display off instantly?

Hello.
I love having my laptop connected to my TV via HDMI cable to watch TV shows. But I dont like putting it in Clamshell mode because I have a VLC Remote app that lets me put the next film on instantly without touching the laptop.
I like to have the laptop display fully off / black so that i'm not see two images (TV and Laptop), so what I do is hold the brightness key down to turn off the display.
Does anyone know of a menu bar app, or a command to turn the display off instantly with a single click?
Thank You

No eject key on new Macbook Pros...
I guess it depends on you Macbook Pro. My 15" Macbook Pro (2011) has the eject key to the right of the F12 key far upper right corner of the keyboard.
My wife's 13" Macbook Pro Retina (2013) has a power button there, HOWEVER, Control-Shift-Power does exactly the same as Control-Shift-Eject. That is to say Control-Shift-Power will turn off the screen.
So assuming you have a power button, use
Control-Shift-Power
NOTE: my older 2011 Macbook Pro has a power button in the case, not part of the keyboard, AND Control-Shift-Power also works on my older Macbook Pro to turn off the screen.

My 2008 MacBook Pro will turn on but the screen is completely black. I have no idea what going on. Can anyone help me out??

My 2008 MacBook Pro is turning on but the screen stays black. It makes the turning on noise but nothing happens after that. Can anyone tell me what wrong with it and maybe help me out??

Make a PRAM reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Also, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If they don't work, that may be a display or GPU issue. Take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. If you want to know which is the part, connect an external display

After the last Yosemite update on my MacBook pro I turned the FileVault on, now my Mac is freezing all the time and encrypting the drive looks like going to last forever and I am unable to use my MacBook pro what must I do???!!!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My macbook pro will turn on but screen stays black.

My macbook pro will turn on but screen stays black. There is no sound on start up and keys dont light up. I have done all the resets:
I disconnected the computer from the power cord, and from all other cables.
I held down the power button for several seconds to turn off the computer.
I let it sit 5 minutes.
I restarted the laptop while holding down the Shift key and nothing happened.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379The only thing I haven’t tried is “floating” the computer. I’m not ready to heat it up to the melting point.
I need lots of help!!! any ideas? Its a MacBook Pro 15” or 17.5” about 5 years old. Its about 2 updates behind (OS: Snow Leopard)

Zane W is giving you good advice. Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have them examine it for free. You then will know what the issues are and then can make informed decisions.
Ciao.
