Macbook switches off

Hi
Macbook just switches off after few minutes.
run it with battery fully charged, battery off plugged into mains
plugged in with battery present -
just switches off..?

About time!
My black MacBook is "waiting for a part on order" so maybe it's the part that will fix the problem.
Worked wonderfully for two and a half months, then the shutdowns started.
Took it to the AppleStore last week and they sent it in.
Let's hope Apple has found the problem.

In the course of migration MacBook switched off due to low battery. After recharging progress bar doesn't change.

In the course of migration MacBook switched off due to low battery. After recharging the progress bar doesn't move. How to continue the migration?

I've never seen the Migration Assistant resume from sleep - for that matter I've never seen a computer go to sleep while MA was running. (If there's a next time, don't try this without the computer being plugged in.) You will probably have no choice but quit the migration and start over.

MacBook switches off automatically

Hi,
I've got my MacBook for about 4 months. Since a few days ago the MacBook started to switch off automatically some times.
I tried the test for a problem with the main platine, but the MacBook didn't switch off. And two days ago I reinstalled MacOS – same problem today.
What can I do?
Thanks!

Macbook switch off without any reason...

hi there!
maybe that question was asked before and then sorry for this but my bad english don't allow me to look easily for older topics.
so here is the problem:
my macbook (10.8.5) often switch off even if i'm 70% charged (or more) if i'm not plugged. Then i can't put it on if i don't plug the macbook before.
i first thought that the battery was in bad ealth, but it's not (one and half year old, more than 75% of lifetime according to "coconut battery" software.)
I secondly thought that the processor was overheating, but by checking it's temperature, i know its not.
i heard that there was the same kind of problems on the 10.4.8 version generated by a kind of problem of transmission inside the computer (not sure exactly) and apple published a software whitch resolved that stuff. i got it but as it was for an older version, my macbook doesn't take it.
Do you know if there is a newer version of that software?
here is a link of the old one: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1599?viewlocale=en_US
maybe this is another problem, but i hope not and i wish you can help me.
thanks for reading me (and i hope understanding me!)

Two readings concern me:
full charge capacity (mAh) : 3078
cycle count : 465
That is a very low full-charge capacity, and a very high cycle count. When batteries get older, and their cycle counts get higher, they can report incorrect information to the system about, for example, how much charge is left. Batteries can also become less stable and less able to handle fluctuations in power demands. Apple usually states that their batteries should offer good performance for 300 cycles, and you have gotten many more than that.
I suspect you need a new battery.

MacBook switches off randomly even when connected to mains without battery

Hey, i've had a MacBook for nearly 16 months now and it's always worked ok but recently every time i switch it on, about 1-5 minutes later it will just die and switch off! If i try to switch it on after this it just keeps dying. The only way to get it on and working again, is to hold down the power button until the sleep light flickers and i here a short continuous beep. After this it works fine although the fan runs for the most time on use. I thought this might be a battery problem but i've removed the battery and just run the macbook from the mains and it still switches off in this first period. If anyone knows the source of the problem or could point me in the direction of a relevant post that could help, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Ashley.

I suggest you upgrade your software. Tiger is at 10.4.11 now and a lot of stuff has been fixed since 10.4.06
Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and/or PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory). Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM?

HT3053 I have a 13inch MacBook Pro and when I switch it on the apple logo appears then a slot and the circular symbol which is turning and then before opening the home screen it switches off again. Is there a sequence that I can use to force it to load.

I have got a 13 inch MacBook Pro and it got stuck in a loop so I switched it off by holding the power button down and now when I switch it on the apple logo appears then I get a blank slot at the bottom of the screen then the circle appears and rotates and then it switches off again, I have tried starting it again with the system disc that came with it when it was new but it makes no difference. Is there a sequence that I can use to force it to start.

Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

How do I stop my MacBook clearing the icons off the desktop when I switch off

How do I stop my MacBook clearing the icons off the desktop when I switch off the machine?

Hi Matt
After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
It happens to alias icons as well!

MacBook Pro keyboard backlight not switching off

I recently bought a 13" MacBook Pro (2012, 2.9GHz i7) and it came with Mountain Lion preinstalled. The keyboard backlight isn't behaving as I had expected: when the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" option is checked, it does indeed adjust the brightness of the backlight when ambient light levels change. However even when the ambient light is VERY bright (desk lamp shining down) the backlight doesn't switch off; instead it just goes to full brightness. I understand that the backlight usually dims in dark conditions to save battery, but why would it go bright when the keyboard is fully visible without a backlight? Is there a way to make the keyboard backlight go off when there is plenty of background light and come on when the environment is dark?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Auto brightness operation usually works in the way yours is working. It is dimmer in very low light and progressively gets brighter as the ambient light increases. There are cases where this is actually helpful as in wierd backlighting situations.
You can override in the System Settings and from the keyboard "function" keys. I'm not at my MBP right now, but I think the keyboard backlighting controls are somewhere near F5 and F6.

I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.

I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works, and shuts down after 30 seconds it. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.
I am planning on buying a new MacBook Pro later this year, but for the meantime I'm not sure if I should buy a new power adaptor, or if this is a problem with my MacBook Pro. Also does anyone know where I can buy a battery in the UK for 1st Gen MacBook Pro.

OWC has batteries for 1,1 generation MacBook Pros and they ship internationally - http://eshop.macsales.com/.
Your best bet for a power adapter is to get one from Apple. Third-party adapters just don't seem to be reliable (or safe). You can also buy a replacement battery directly from Apple, of course, but they're a bit more expensive.
Good luck,

My macbook pro 2010 on mavericks has started switching off and restarting for no reason

ive recently bought a macbook pro 2010 off a good and trusted friend ( so i am very new to the whole mac world )

How to switch off internal macbook screen when using external monitor(s)

as far as i observed, adding external displays ( running different screens on them, not mirroring) to a macbook pro increases the gpu workload and with that comes temperature rise in the laptop and increase in ventilator noise - and probably increased hardware aging and risk of component faillure due to high temperature inside the laptop.
simply try connecting two external 27" screens and open some flash video on both of them. then run a temperature monitoring software and watch temps rise, compared to running same flash videos / demanding tasks only on one connected external screen or only on the laptop screen with no external monitor connected.
especially in mavericks, due to its increased background routines, such a set-up appears ever the more taxing, then again who does not love apple`s nice adds showing laptops with two 27” screens connected to it and the workspace vision they invoke....
i have seen temps around 100° to 102° celsius on a 13" macbook pro 2012 edition, which i would expect is territory where the cpu / gpu temp safety switches will trigger system shutdown any time soon ( hardware status before verified as fully in order by apple service and default osx installation)
imagine your anti-virus software starting some realtime content screening while runnign some demanding tasks already and the system shuts down easily (all such situation observed in reality)
(would be interesting to see how a retina display macbook fares with 2 external monitors running demanding tasks, considering the retina display already increased taxing for the gpu - any experience from users of such a setup would be very much appreciated as it will provide critical purchase decision intelligence for all of us envisioning a retina-book and two big screens adoring our desks...)
turning down the macbook`s built-in screen`s backlight may reduce power consumption but i have not seen any evidence that it switches off the gpu-to-screen feed and respective gpu load - it certainly did not prevent gpu, cpu, board, etc temps to rise to borderline levels.
so the key question here is, how to switch off the macbook pro`s built-in screen in order to avoid gpu cycles being wasted on that screen ( and the resulting heat developments) when working with big external screen(s) connected to the laptop ?

this thread talks about running several monitors as advertised by apple and running demanding task on them.
with the lid open, the keyboard offers a very efficiant heat escape vector, which is blocked when the lid is closed - this is a basic and commonsense insulation effect. this thread also mentions the use of temperature monitoring software and thus a repeatable test setup. the temps recorded were also mentioned. they rose when the lid was closed, the running task remaining unchanged. as far as i could track down the cpus in discussion will shut down around the 105 degree celsius range. i observed system shut downs when the system approached 103° celsius. not to mention that the fans will run loud well before that.
again this is on hardware checked and ok-ed by apple service.
the question still welcoming an expert answer: is there any way to switch off the built-in macbook monitor while the lid is open ?

What's wrong with my Macbook? It randomly switches off. Could it be the charger?

Hi..so I've had my macbook pro for almost two years now. No problems with it, but I find that their charger cables or headphones are weird as they always break for me one way or another. My charger started breaking a year ago, still works, just the green wires at the top have come out so I taped it. The charger still works. Anyway..today I was on my macbook, it was charging and it was on about 65%, then when I moved it somehow (I was adjusting it on my legs cause I was sitting down), it switched off. The charging light went off and the charger wouldn't work. After about 10 seconds I could switch my macbook back on. When the home screen came on, my date and time have been reset and I was disconnected from my internet and my background changed. I put everything back to normal and then after unplugging the charger and playing around with it I connected it to my macbook. It worked again. Now the same thing happened again. I somehow moved it and it switched off! What's wrong with it ? Can it be because of the charger or some virus or something? I tried checking the logs and Crash Reporter but nothing came up. Can anyone help? thanks

Let's address the breaking cable issue first. To unplug any cable, you need to grasp the connector shell, and pull. It is wrong to simply grab the cable wire, and give it a yank. For the other issue, try perfoming SMC and PRAM resets.

Macbook battery not working - computer switching off - help!

My Macbook has suddenly started switching off when the power supply is disconnected, even though the battery should be charged.
This happened after buying a new macbook AC adaptor. My old 60watt adaptor has been getting quite hot, so I did a bit of reading on the web and bought a new 85watt adaptor, which is supposed to resolve the problem. I bought one off ebay - had no idea what I doing really so may have bought a dodgy one? It was £30 which I've been told (now!) is suspiciously cheap! I plugged it in once and all seemed fine then when I removed the magsafe adaptor for a moment my computer just sort of died, well, switched off. I now can't restart it from the battery at all. It works fine with the adaptor (I'm using my old 60watt one again now.) In the moment before I remove my adaptor, the battery looks 'fully charged' then just switches off.
I tried downloading BatteryUpdate 1.2 but it has made no difference.
What have I done?? Can it be fixed? Please help!
PS. Here is my info from the 'power' section within 'About This Mac':

Does it power on if you plug in the charger?
But to be honest I see in your description it says 'Late 2011' so there is a good chance you have warranty right, I would take it to Apple store and let them sort it out

Macbook Air 13" - How to switch off internal monitor?

While working with an external monitor (e.g. TV), I would like to switch off the internal monitor. Is there any function which helps me?

this thread talks about running several monitors as advertised by apple and running demanding task on them.
with the lid open, the keyboard offers a very efficiant heat escape vector, which is blocked when the lid is closed - this is a basic and commonsense insulation effect. this thread also mentions the use of temperature monitoring software and thus a repeatable test setup. the temps recorded were also mentioned. they rose when the lid was closed, the running task remaining unchanged. as far as i could track down the cpus in discussion will shut down around the 105 degree celsius range. i observed system shut downs when the system approached 103° celsius. not to mention that the fans will run loud well before that.
again this is on hardware checked and ok-ed by apple service.
the question still welcoming an expert answer: is there any way to switch off the built-in macbook monitor while the lid is open ?
