Macbook Pro starts by itself when closed.
Hello everyone,
I've faced some problem with my MBP (mid2012). It starts by itself when closed and in sleep mode.
System is not booting, just black screen, loudly spinning fans and very hot macbook. It has no reaction on opening, touching keys or trackpad, so I used power button to shut it down.
It happened two times and both times the laptop was in my backpack in sleep mode. Before closed, there were some heavy apps running (Photoshop, Illustrator).
I'm afraid it can repeat when i won't be able to shut him down quickly and it will heat more

MacBook Pro won't sleep when closed
So yesterday I closed the computer at the office and came home with it like normal and this morning the battery was dead which was unusual.
I plugged in and started up, no big deal.
Then I finished just now and shut the computer and noticed that the apple and the screen stayed lit. I can't find the place in preferences to tell it to shut down when closing the screen...
Any help would be appreciatedhi,
I have the similar problem with my mac book pro 17" after updating to Mac OS X 10.5.7 and installing Safari 4 - when I close it, it goes down in the sleeping mode, but only once. When I open it and whant to close it for the second time, it doesn´t - it´s freezing. Also, if I do it manually thrue the menue, it ist the same. It is freezing and the coursor is gone and only thing I can do then is to turn it off and start again. After that the same play start again - standby works only once. Any help proposal? Tnx and greetings from Vienna -
Macbook Pro 2010 Glass Scratchs When closed
I've owned my second macbook pro for about 2 months now.
Had to replace my 13" when the core i7 models were released, however i've noticed that little
what originally looked like dust marks were appearing, after thorough attempts at cleaning it, I've
released they're marks in the glass caused by the keyboard, probably small pieces that get trapped under the keys, and then vibrated out, where they get between the keyboard and glass.
It always seems to have one or two more every time i open it, Its getting distracting.
my 13" never had this problem.
I was wondering if anybody else has noticed this? is my Lid too tight?
now I'm really wishing I had bought a model with the Anti-glare display... no-glass, no scratches.Yep. This fixed it for me.
1) Reset your SMC - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
2) Download the 10.4.8 Combo Update from Apple and install it.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048updateintel.html
It seems to be a 10.4.8 glitch. Reinstalling 10.4.8 from the combo package fixed whatever went awry on my MBP. -
My 1-year old MacBook Pro Retina shuts itself without giving a warning when the battery is at 5-15% of capacity. Idk what to do about it.
KarnPS,
start recharging your battery when it gets down to 20% — you’ll shorten your battery’s lifespan by running on battery power beyond that. -

My macbook pro shows blank screen when I started . (It's like in same state when power off. ) fan sound and hard disk is running. So i connected it Through external monitor via mini display to VGA cable. I can see everything on external monitor. My display of Mac needs to change? How much it cost ?? I found so many forum discussion said that if nvedia card is faulty then its happen...let me know suggestions...I given it to apple care service station n they r telling yr display needs to change its cost me a lot.. I can't afford. And can't spend that much for 3 yr old version as new versions of macbook pro is cost vice reasonable.. can I have any suggestion?
If running 10.7 or later hold down Command-R at Startup.
This should invoke recovery Mode.
Choose Disk Utility.
Select your Hard drive. Inspect the SMART Status in the lower right of the window for "Verified".
Select the Mac OS X Volume (originally Macintosh HD) click (Repair Disk)
If errors, run again until it comes clean or gets stuck.
Report any error messages. -

For some reason, when my Macbook Pro starts up now, all of the MS Office applications open. This was not happening when I first purchased the laptop, and I never added these apps to the startup menu. How do I remove these apps from startup?
By default Mac apps do not close when you close the window you were working in. Unlike in Windows when you click the top right X icon in any program is closes the window and the program shuts down. On Mac OS X clicking the X in the top left hand corner only closes that windows and leave the program running in the background. If they are left open and you reboot they will restart with the system and load a window for them.

Macbook Pro Keeps Restarting Itself and then totally crashed
Dear all.
I am using Macbook Pro 13-inch (i7 2.9 Ghz, 8 GB DDR3, 750 GB) with OS X Maverick (10.9.4).
For the last few months, my Macbook Pro kept restarting itself and I usually ignored this issue until yesterday, my MBP fail to boot up, only display the grey apple logo and rolling icon below for almost 30 mins.
I tried the safe mode and reset NVRAM method and it still fail to boot up and sometimes a black text appears (aka kernel panic).
Then i took my macbook pro to the nearest Apple service provider and the technician said that it was probably due to the 750 GB Hard Disk since the HD itself is a faulty product, therefore we can't find any 750 GB HD nowadays. So he recommended me to replace my current HD with a new HD. I took his advice and I replaced it with 1 TB Toshiba HD. And then the technician reformat my MBP and installed the OS X Maverick. My Macbook pro able to boot up now.
However the next day I still find my MBP keeps restarting itself (until now) and take note that I didn't install any new softwares, I only updated the available updates in Apps Store for the OS, iBooks, and iTunes.
Can anyone recommend me what to do? Is this a Hardware problem or software problem?
I'm thinking to switch back to OS Lion to see whether this is mainly due to OS Maverick.
Thank you.Unfortunately yes. Since the computer is unable to boot up, that part of the software starts BEFORE the OS would. Last time I had this problem, it turned out to be a faulty GPU (soldered to the logic board) and i needed to replace the logic board. If you wanted to, you could indeed back up your personal data (you should ANYWAY, no matter what you do) and you could try to do a fresh install, but I'm fairly confident you are experiencing either faulty ram, or a faulty logic board.

My Macbook Pro started running really slow
This week my Macbook Pro started running super slow, taking ages to open programs and giving me the color wheel alllll the time. I've never had problems like this before! I'm not running many applications or doing anything unusual but it's just running extra slow. Once or twice it has also totally gone to sleep while I was in the middle of using it, and I had to wake it back up. It has also been getting really hot and the battery life seems worse...! This is all new, I'm using my computer just as I always have but it suddenly has issues.
The only thing it has been doing for a while is sometimes the screen will go blue - this either corrects itself within a few seconds or if I close my Macbook and then reopen it, the screen is back to normal. This is very rare though and I don't know if it's related to the slowness problem.
What can I do to fix this??

What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi
What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi
Hello Alex,
It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Able to install the .ipa signed with distribution certificate using iTunes on MacBook Pro. where as the when tried to install using iTune on PC is causing a problem
The sound input going to the mic is not going to pipe through the speakers like that. It doesn't do it because it would cause a feedback loop on itself. The mic input will take sound and output it to a program or to another pathway (like a VoIP or Facetime call, etc.) but it won't behave like a Karaoke machine if that's what you're thinking.

I have usb driver in may macbook pro 15 retina. When I installed windows 7 and try to download windows support into a CD, boot camp always said it couldn't find my usb driver. My mac version is 10.8.3
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Install the Windows support software from the USB drive. Note that Boot Camp Assistant, in OS X 10.8.3, doesn't support the option to burn the Windows support software into a disc.
Instead, you can try a different thing. Start in Windows and download the Windows support software in it > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Then, decompress the file and run the Boot Camp drivers installer.
If you can't access to the Internet in Windows, start in OS X and download the Windows support software from the same link. Decompress the file, right-click the folder which will show up after decompressing the file and select "Burn". Finally, start in Windows and install the Boot Camp drivers -
My MacBook Pro starts then shuts down on its own 4 seconds later. An idea on what I should do? Thanks!
Is the little LED on your adapter's MagSafe plug glowing when it's connected? What color?
It sounds as though your battery is drained and the adapter isn't charging it. Try resetting the SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
That may start the battery charging again.
