Macbook Pro Shuts Down / MacBook Pro Doesn't Start Properly

I just had this problem today. When I tried to wake the macbook pro back from sleep, it didn't wake up, after closing and reopening the screen several times. Thus, I forced quit it by holding the switch button. Now, when I tried to start the macbook pro, the computer automatically shuts down in less than 3 seconds. I have tried resetting the PRAM and all that stuff but they don't seem to work. Has anyone had this issue before?

I am having this exact problem. In my case, I shut down my MBP before going to work. Once I reached work, I tried restarting and it shuts down almost immediately. I've already tried most solutions, but as I am at work, I have not been able to try the cd solution. Any help would be welcome as I do not want to have to reinstall the OS.

  • My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode shift CMD V the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start.  Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this?

    My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode <shift CMD V> the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start.  Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this?  Thanks  Eamonn

    Thanks for these suggestions: I have tried safe mode re-starts (both "verbose" and simple "shift" + power) to no avail.  I get the error message "disk0s2: media is not present".  Following this I inserted the installation disc and from there ran disc utility.  The "Verify Disk" indicated an error " invalid sibling link" which it could not repair.
    I also tried to completely re-format/erase the disk, but again got an error message "disk object invalid or unable to serialize".
    Any ideas of what could be causing this or the best solution?  I fear I am fast running out of options.

    I only put some of the texts because I can't read them they don't last long
    Any suggestion will be appreciated please.

    I took it to a regular computer repair center and they said its an issue with the 1*8 gb and 1*2 gb totally 10 gbs i put in and then i replaced the 8gb with the old 2 gb that came with the computer and the issue is the same.
    I tried reseting it to factory form that took 3days to download os 8 .  and finally stopped by itself.
    I don,t know if i had to take it to apple store?

  • Macbook Pro won't start properly... keeps restarting without chime!

    Macbook Pro won't start properly... keeps restarting without chime!
    Late 2007 Macbook pro.  OS upgrade worked great for me.
    I have had this problem on and off for a month or so.  I simply cannot figure out what the issue is.  I have tried poerup with and without AC power and with/without battery installed.
    Starting in Safe mode does not help.
    Trying to start with a disk does not help.
    It sort of seems like it might be an internal power issue or GPU issue.
    It also feels sort of like a software compatibility issue since my Macbook Pro gets reallly slugish for no apparent reason sometimes and IU have to restart.
    I have three different anti-virus programs so I doubt it is a virus issue.
    I noticed all this start after I did a Mountain Lion upgrade and then tried to start up VMware Fusion.  Fusion seemed to just bog down the computer horribly but did not cause a system crash.
    I need to edit an important sequence on Final Cut Pro and don't want it to freeze me out!
    Anyone who has had this problem and resolved it please let me know 
    God bless

    If it doesnt chine it doesn't mean much, the mute could be on or you installed a anti-chime software.

  • Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while

    Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while. When it shuts down the
    blue screen says - stop: (0x0000008e,0xaa846f58,0xa9f29808,0x00000000)

    Hi
    Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
    Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
    Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
    There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
    This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
    Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
    Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
    Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
    I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook.

    Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
    Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

  • Whilst working on iMovie my screen has frozen. Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off but asks am I sure. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas?

    Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off computer but message appeared asking 'am I sure'. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas? I was dropping multiple  clips into my movie/project when it happened.  It has been frozen for over an hour now. I can't hear the driving doing any work.

    Thanks a lot. I had previously held the power button down and up popped the 'are you sure' message whhich provided a shut down button to press but it didn't work. Thanks for you help. I'll have a look in iMovie now to see if I've got any corrupted files. Thanks a lot
    Kind regards

  • Final Cut Pro doesn't start

    Hi!
    Got a problem with Final Cut Pro.
    When I start it, the first window with the logo, version info and loading info appears. But it disappears after a few seconds, and Final Cut Pro doesn't start at all.
    what's the problem and how can I solve it?

    anybody with even an ounce of self reliance could tell you this, its the single most often raised issue on this and every other FCP forum and resource.
    ... whew, writing that was probably more long winded than just telling you the answer so clearly I'm the muggins here!
    sounds like your FCP prefernces have corupted (who knows exactly why and how it happens, but it happens all too often)
    download and install FCP Rescue form http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ its a synch to use.
    you can use it to trash your corupted prefs, and then FCP will make new good ones when you next launch it.
    you can also use it to back up a good set, once you've reset all you particualr preferences in the User Settings...
    and you can then use it again to restore those good prefs if and when it all happens next time

  • My macbook air doesn't start after being for 2 months off, My macbook air doesn't start after being for 2 months oof

    My macbook air doesn't start after being for 2 months off? What can i do?

    Plug it in and leave it on the charger for about 5 minutes then try to turn it on. If that doesnt work, contact apple and have it sent out for repair or take it to your local apple store. they will probably cover it for free if no physical damage has been done.

  • Imac keeps shutting down as soon as I start an application

    Really need some help - I have an imac 27inch 2009 Intel - It keeps shutting down as soon as I start to use any application weather it be photoshop or itunes!
    I have reset the PRAM, also reset the SMC. Also managed to do a software update which worked fine, although I'm fairly sure software isnt the issue. 
    I have plugged directly into the wall too.  It seems to stay on if i dont use it, but as soon as I start to do anything - boom, it goes off.  Its driving me crazy.
    Any help would be appreciated. 
    Cheers.

    Should I re-install OS?
    Yup told you it was a lengthy test. Yes I think you should re-install OS X, before you do what verison of OS X is installed?
    BTW please update your profile, you will find it under My Stuff in the upper right of this page. You should at least list what computers you have and what version(s) of OS X is installed on each otherwise we can't get an accurate picture of what is going on.
