MacBook Pro screen goes black when video is blown up on the second screen

I'm not sure if this is a problem but when I open up a video in fullscreen mode on my second display, the screen on my MacBook goes completely black and I cannot access anything on the my MacBook until I restore the video to windowed mode. Is there any way I can fix this?
Just to add, I can still see my cursor on the MacBook's screen, but there are no menus or docks on there, and I can see my notifications, but other than that, if I attempt to switch tasks and say open up Safari, the safari window on my MacBook will be black, while the video on the secondary monitor is in fullscreen mode.

Obviously there's a bad connection in there. Best bet is to take it back to the GB and show them how it happens.

    From the Finder's Go menu, choose Computer:

  • HT1338 The screen on my MacBook Pro keeps going black.  This is happening more frequently.  I have had it in to the Apple store multiple times and they can't find a problem.

    My MacBook Pro screen keeps going black.  This is happening more frequently.  I have had it in to the Apple store several times for this and they can't find anything wrong other than it is locked up for a while.  Since it is happening more and more, I am worried that at some point this will be permanent.

    Has it actually happened at the store?
    If not then we need to get it to do that. Now it may be completely random but you need to try and make a note of as many things as possible that happen when it does it.
    How long has it been on for, what are you doing at the time, what's connected. If it's reproducible then you've at least got somewhere.

  • My screen on my MacBook Pro keeps going black

    I got my MacBook in September of 2010. It's a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. I have had great luck with it, until recently. This problem has been going on since like August now and it's time I should quit ignoring it. For some reason when I am just using my computer normally my screen goes black. Everything seems to be disabled but the keypad still lights up. The only way to get my macbook working again to to forcefully shut it off and turn it back on. Sometimes when i use the mouse a certain way (such as sliding 3 fingers to view other open windows) it shuts off. I have also updated my software from Snow Leopard to OS X Lion. I don't know what could be causing it. I have had some issues sending in laptops before to get fixed but I have a feeling it's going to come down to that. I'm a college student and use my computer daily and being a broadcasting major I need this computer for everything I do. Can somebody please help?

    I had similar problem with my MacBook Pro. Login window goes black in 4 seconds, but it is not turned off. Push power and screen comes back but goes black again in 4 seconds. I can type in password, but before it logs me in, it goes black.   If I connect to external monitor, the screen stays up, and I can use extermal mouse but keyboard input is ignored.  This was obviously display problem of the Mac, at the least. (no clue why keyboard does not work when connected to external monitor.
    I have solution: Reset PRAM
    1. Power down Mac compeltely.
    2. Hold down Option, Command, P and R keys (four keys total) while you press power button to boot up Mac
    3. Mac will restart at least twice. Listen to noise.  After 2nd power up, lift all keys.
    I kept holding down the keys and Mac restarted like 5 times before I released keys, then rebooting stopped. Mac now works. The article I read said "wait for 2nd reboot". I though it would stop after twice.
    In my case, I think use of extranal monitor confused Mac Book Pro eventually. I see no other side effects (such as loss of data on hard disk, resetting clock, resetting default settings etc) while I do reset, so I think this is relatively safe thing to try.

  • Can anyone help read my crash report? My 2010 macbook pro keeps going black screen with looped sound

    I've had this laptop since 2010 and it's been pretty good up until about two months ago when it would just randomly crash. The screen would go black and if there was sound going on, the sound would just loop on that single second like a broken record. The only way to get it out of that is to hold the power button and then turn it back on. When these crashes would happen in the beginning it would only be when I had Adobe Photoshop running, now it just happens whenever I'm simply using the internet browsing through Tumblr, Youtube, and Facebook.
    Every time I turn my computer back on I get a crash report like this:

    The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)- Intermittent black screen or loss of video

  • Macbook Pro & Thunderbolt go black when connected. Can't get a picture on either.

    I have a 15" Macbook Pro Retina and I've never had a problem with it. I just got a Thunderbolt Display the other day and when I plug the MB into the T-bolt, both screens go black. I know it's connected, because I can hear sound coming from the T-bolt when I adjust volume, but I can't get any picture. Additionally, when I disconnect the MB from the T-bolt my screen is still black and I have to do 3-4 hard resets before the screen goes back on again. Any ideas what's wrong?

    Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?-----------------------> 
    Read the tv user manual.  I have a Toshiba which has detailed instructions for tv to comp hookup.  If necessary call Toshiba.  Especially, if you are still under warranty w/them. 

  • Macbook Pro 15" goes black/turns off

    I got my new Macbook Pro 15" in march (2010), it worked great the first months, but then it started going black and didn´t respond. It would hardly turn off, and when it did I couldn´t turn it back on for a while. This has happened tons of times since. I am just surfing the web or writing documents etc, normal computer things. I have noticed that sometimes me moving the computer (for example from the table to my lap) triggers it to go black.
    I have spoken with Apple plenty of times, each time they wanted me to do some checks on it while on the phone, but my macbook went black before it could finish. So I took it to the Apple store, where the guy said he found the problem (something about a program I have installed - everything installed is certified (office, spotify)), and that he fixed the problem. The computer, of course, didn´t go black once while he was checking it out. The minute I got home though, it did.
    I just got it back from repair (I sent it in right after), where they found nothing wrong and sent it back. I have had it for two days now, and its been fine until about an hour ago when it happened again (I moved it from the table to my lap). This is driving me insane. Anyone now what I can do??
    Thank you!

    Call up AppleCare. Ask to speak to a customer representative rather than a tech. Explain the problem.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display - Sound and video doesn't work at the same time.

    I just bought a macbook pro retina display and tried to watch a movie by connecting my macbook pro via hdmi to my home theater receiver (Onkyo TX-SR309) and into my HDTV (Sony Bravia 42"). My problem is, i don't get sound from the speakers connected to the receiver.
    When i disconnect the HDTV from the receiver (only the receiver is connected to the macbook pro), then sounds will comes out from the speaker.
    Can somebody help me to fix this problem?

    With the HDMI connected and the Onkyo powered on, open system preferences, go to the sound panel, and select the HDMI choice.

  • Why does the screen on my MacBook Pro keep going black? It happens randomly. Please help.

    No patterns, it just crashes. Happens every couple of days or so.

    try these :
    Hold down SHIFT - CTRL - ALT(Option) same time with the POWER BUTTON for a quick 2 seconds then let go and normally turn on your computer

  • IPhoto going black when using the contract tool

    my picture goes black when im trying to edit using the contrast tool!
    what the heck.. any advise?

    Do the other tools work correctly in the edit mode? Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.

    EDIT: RESOLVED
    For anyone else who finds their way here like I did, this link did it for me: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/527599/windows-8-issues-solved-please-r ead-if-you-39-re-having-black-screen-and-or-flickering-/
    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • The very top of my 13" macbook pro screen, above the browser or application frame, goes black sometimes and I'm unable to see the choices

    the very top of my 13" macbook pro screen, above the browser or application frame, goes black sometimes and I'm unable to see the choices, any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete -g NSFullScreenDarkMenu
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the 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.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal. Log out and log back in.

  • My MacBook Pro screen turns off when I open the lid!

    This has been driving me nuts, and also apparently Apple as well.
    When my MacBook Pro is connected to a power adapter, if I close the lid it sleeps like a good little Mac. When I open the lid, the display comes on instantly. Then after about a second, it goes black. The LED backlight turns off. I can get it to come on using either of two ways: 1) touch either of the brightness buttons, or 2) remove and replace the power connector.
    Now, here is the weird part: it only seems to do it when I am logged in as me. If I login as guest, it doesn't happen. That would seem to imply it is something about my profile that causes it to happen. So I whacked ~/Library/Preferences and it still happened. So where is this particular bit of nastiness hiding?

    OK, so I think I solved my issue.  It was caused by the system not going to sleep (The screensaver thing was a dead end).
    When I ran the console app pmset, I got something like this:
    ➜  ~  pmset -g assertions
    12-06-29 9:11:06 AM EDT 
    Assertion status system-wide:
       PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep             0
       CPUBoundAssertion                       0
       DisableInflow                           0
       ChargeInhibit                           0
       PreventSystemSleep                      1
       PreventUserIdleSystemSleep              0
       ExternalMedia                           0
       DisableLowPowerBatteryWarnings          0
       EnableIdleSleep                         1
       NoRealPowerSources_debug                0
       UserIsActive                            0
       ApplePushServiceTask                    0
    The process that was causing PreventSystemSleep to be 1 was "org.cups.cupsd" which is the print service.  So I checked all my printers, one of them was "In Use".  When I opened it, there weren't any jobs listed.  I went through the options and selected Jobs > Show Everyone's Jobs and sure enough there was a job there.  I deleted it and everything seems to work now.
    The odd thing is that print job was probably from my other account which didn't seem to have this screen problem.  Anyway, I hope this helps anyone out there....
