Macbook pro turns on for a minute and turns off before it fully loads

The MacBook Pro turns son for about 30 seconds before turning off again even though it is charged.

Is the power adapter attached?
Have you tried a Safe boot?

If that fails, I suggest an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding your Shift key down when booting. Also, try holding the eject key down when booting to eject the DVD. If you plug a mouse in and hold the clicker down when booting, that should eject the DVD.

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on. Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging. What should I do?

The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging. Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.
Try a SMC reset:

This is a current sensor on the power bus. This seems consistent with your symptoms.
A faulty sensor on the logic board means the board has to be replaced, take in for repair:

Macbook pro turns off when i unpliug

macbook pro turns off when i unpliug

You either need to plug in your charger and if that isn't working if your machine is less than a year old take it in to your nearst Apple Store and let them deal with it. Or if you are out of warrantee you will need to get a new battery for your Mac

I wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off

You should perform this procedure when you first use your computer? is this true? new macbook pro on may 11 2010 what happed was today on may 22 2010 i wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off when it runs out of battery. 3 times Typically, when macs run out of battery, they go into sleep mode. However mine skips this completely and just turns off. WHY? does this mean the battery is bad?
Resetting the PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html) fixed the problem in my case. then i did the calibrate the battery again this time it went to sleep not shut down i did this 3 more times why?
the 3 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010

the 9 more 4 in 10.6.4 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010 but if it happens again you should try
i hate to do this reinstalling the OS, if this do not work also, then you should call apple, or take your MBP to an apple store. on june 24 2010 i am going to talk to spence about this. so what do i do now? this happed on june 16 2010 4 more times
without entering SafeSleep. only one time it worked on 10.6.4

My Macbook Pro turns off suddenly with no reason

1st Gen. Macbook Pro Turns Off Suddenly, Even When Plugged In

Help Me!
My 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo shuts down without warning after I start it up. Sometimes it's 1 minute into the startup, sometimes its 10. But after installing snow leopard 10.6, it does this everytime without fail. My screen doesn't work, so I have it plugged it into an external monitor. When it's turned on and working, it functions perfectly. But all of a sudden, it will turn off. I copied the power information from the system profiler, which is pasted below. Any help on possible fixes would be great. Maybe some sort of MPU reset or something. Also, I tested the battery I'm currently using in another Macbook Pro of the same exact model, and it works fine.

Macbook Pro 13' freezes for 10 secs and hard drives clicks

Hi all,
I recently purchased a macbook pro 13" and it has started to make clicking noises every now and again (but it doesn't beep). The mac is also starting to freeze for about 5-10secs and then returning to normal.
The hard drive inside the macbook pro is a 160GB model.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how i can solve it?
Many thanks

Contact Apple. It sounds like a hard drive issue. It may need to be replaced.

My 2009 Macbook Pro turns off every 5-15 minutes

Yeah, the problem started happening a couple of months ago, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I found that if I were to turn it off nightly it would behave better. It was fine for a while, but as of late it will shut off about every 5-15 minutes.It was getting finiky too, if someone bumped the desk funny it would turn off. I tried resetting the SMC but that doesn't seem to have fixed it.
Any ideas? I've thought about doing a clean install of the OS again, but it seems like it might be a hardware problem, so that probably wouldn't work.

I would suggest making an appointment at the nearest Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider. What you are describing seems to show a problem with hardware.
To make an Genius Bar appointment check:

To find your nearest Apple Service Provider check the link below and then click the "Service" box. There you will be able to put your location.

It might not hurt to run the Apple Hardware Test that came with your Mac's OS & Application Software DVDs and note down any errors reported by it. For more information about the AHT visit:

Macbook pro turns off and reboots randomly

Hi I need help My 2010 unibody Macbook Pro is driving me nutz !!! Does anyone have any idea WHAT would cause my 2010 Macbook Pro to shut off and reboot randomly all by itself ? I took it to a computer storre for repair they placed the RAM and charged me 126.00 yet its still happening not as frequently but it's not fixed. Grateful for any help you can give.

Hello sweetbrandigirl2004,
Based on your post it seems your computer is shutting down at random. That does sound troublesome. After your computer shuts down, do you see any messages or errors displayed? The following article offers some troubleshooting steps you may want to explore:

MacBook Pro Turned Off and Won't Reboot

I had been playing a video game for about an hour. Afterwards, I strated surfing the net and in about 15 seconds, the computer just turned off. I noticed it was rediculously hot, so I inplugged it, removed the battery, and let it sit until it cooled off.
After I reinstalled the battery, I held the power button and nothing really happened. The front LED turned on, but no other activity whatesoever took place; not a sound. So, I held the power button and the indicator turned off.
It's almost like the thing is completely dead. I would appreciate any help, because I am a student, and I really can't afford to have it fixed.

As an update:
I listened more carefully, and it seems like the hard drive is spinning up; however, the computer does not make what sounds like the optical drive ejecting, nor is there any sound or picture.
The activity is actually barely audible.
Thanks again.

Macbook Pro or Air for years 11 and 12

Hello,
I am entering year 11 next year and may school has suggested that my year by an air or pro.
I will be typing my notes in class on the notebook every day.
My school day is around 7 hours and i may do my homework on my laptop in the library after school ( in terms of battery use)
I will mainly be using imovie for assignment, powerpoint and word.
I am deciding between whether i should buy the air, an external hardrive and an external disc drive and the accessory that lets you use the laptop for a few more hours ( extra plug in battery) OR
The pro with retina display ( the middle version in terms of storage) and buy the external disc drive OR
Buy the pro ( no retina) and just put up with the heaviness.
Thanks for your help

Unless you are into games, movie making, or heavy duty Photoshop, there is little reason to go Pro, other than the screen resolution. And games may not all be optimized for Notebook GPUs anyway. So research your software needs thoroughly before jumping in. Pro 15" does give you more screen real estate for windows, though some can't read at so high a resolution.
