Mackbook Pro Monitor Problem

Please someone help me! I am having intermitten problems with the monitor on my Macbook Pro.  Below is a screen shot of what my monitor is doing. I can connect  my computer to my TV without any problems. Even when all I see is lines on my monitor I can see everything fine on my TV. Someone tell me what is wrong please...

Welcome to AppleDiscussions!
This looks like a hardware problem of some sort. Do you also get it on an external monitor? If so, it could mean a graphics chip problem of some sort. If the external is fine, then more likely a problem with the display itself or its connections.
Best make an appointment at an Apple Store and take it in for evaluation. If you are under warranty, it should be covered.
Good luck!

  • MackBook Pro shutdown problems?

    my macbook pro simple does not shutdown or restart, i need to force the shutdown, is there anyone with same problem?
    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
    Thanks

    Repair your drive. If you don't have Disk Warrior from Alsoft, best and better than Apple.
    Some USB devices can cause slow shutdown (iSight or something?) but not normally.
    Make sure your startup disk is selected.

  • Mackbook pro 15'' a1226, problem in the video chip, PLEASE HELP!

    Hello, my name is Carlos Garcia from Chile, I have a 15'' Mackbook pro model a1226, no Series. w8******x91, everything was fine until one day when you turn off, no more picture tube, the machine turns on and even boot the OS, but does not generate images, so check this problem with Apple's solution, however in the distributor of my country told me that the guarantee of the four years ended in January 2012, and that I contact Apple Store Mexico, right now I am very disappointed by the support provided by the Apple people. Please appreciate that I can tell I do, if there is any solution for this problem or I think just buy a new machine, if so do not think I could ever trust Apple again.
    Thanks from now.

    If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
    You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.

  • Macbook pro 2011 problems

    I am having problems with my macbook pro 2011 version. First of my display will not go to sleep, it will stay on screensaver. I told the sreen to go to sleep in 5 mins and i set hot corners to sleep display. When i go to the corner to make the screen go off, it wont. the sleep light on the front of the macbook pro will turn on idicating that its in screen sleep mode and the keyboard lights turn off but the screen wont. The second problem is that when i close the lid to my mackbook pro and it goes to sleep. Then when you open it and it comes out of sleep, you will be using it for 5 secs and then it goes back to sleep and then move the mouse and it comes back on.

    Try resetting your SMC.

  • HT1338 i can not connect my beats headphone with my mackbook pro? any advise plase?

    any advise? how can i connect my beats headphone ith my mackbook pro?

    I didnt get it sorted, i had to change my accounts to outlook.com and put an auto-fwd from old too new account.  It has something to do with the single sign on code as SVuxen mentions above but I couldnt get all my mac devices working on it so found it easier to change to new account....
    I went into an Apple shop to discuss with them as my partner was having hte same issue (we were buying anouther ipad) and they couldnt help much either.....so I gave up a did the same with her account and fortunately everything has migrsted across without any problems (including contacts/calaenders etc)

  • Mackbook Pro + Aperture 3 + 1TB drive + Time Machine + Carbonite....work f

    Mackbook Pro + Aperture 3 + 1TB drive + Time Machine + Carbonite....work flow?
    I have Carbonite On-Line back up running incremental (wifi to the cloud) backup in the background I just learned that I can nominate folders for it to ignore..
    So... to prevent it grinding away needlessly using up resources, I was daydreaming I would import RAW files from my camera into to a "TEMP" folder that I would have Carbonite ignore
    I am disciplined at sorting through shots directly after importing them..
    Perhaps I can also get Time Machine to ignore that "TEMP" folder too? (Although hard drive storage is less of a worry...
    This way I only back up 'keeper shots'?
    Am I getting warm? Is this a valid workflow / back up regime?
    I hear Aperture 3 has file management functions that are helpful.. But I am not up to speed with what they are...
    Carbonite WONT back up attached drives - only the Laptop own drive.. And I want my 'keeper' library shots on two back up systems..
    Am I missing a trick? Looking for do's and donts - pitfalls to avoid etc.. I want to set things up the right way from the beginning, I plan to migrate all my RAW operations from iPhoto / Elements set up on a MBAir to a new MBPro running Aperture 3 in about a week.
    Suggestions please..
    Thanks in advance!

    During the initial setup for TM, there was one screen that required username wd_backup and password admin. Later I changed the username for the TM folder to garyham58 and a personal password. That is the username and password I am looking for.
    As I understand it, the original name and password were supplied by WD and stored on the NAS. Any changes would have been stored on the NAS. And resetting it would have to be done via the NAS.
    I would think that there is some way to reset TM and start from scratch
    I fear you may have already done part of that, inadvertently, since the folder shows no contents.
    But it's not a password for the Time Machine application; it's the sharing of the WD disk, which is done by WD. When you back up with Time Machine to a simple external HD, there is no password for the drive. When you back up over a network to a Time Capsule, or a USB drive connected to it, you set up the password, if any, via Airport Utility, and I believe that's stored by the router as well as in the keychain on your Mac.
    Do you still have the original 250 GB HD? If so, your best bet may be to get an enclosure for it, from http://www.macsales.com/ or the like. You can put the HD into it and connect it to your Mac via USB or FireWire, and it will become a normal external HD. Then you can start up from it and "clone" the HD to the new one.
    Then you might be able to re-establish contact with the WD, and see your backups, unless they got erased during all the problems, or erase it and start over.

    I have a MackBook Pro I updated to Maverick and now my internet won't open and all my programs freeze and I have to restart my computer. The only program that doesn't freeze is Microsoft Word.

    Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
    To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
    When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
    Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:

    Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
    Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
    It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.

    Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
    EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
    When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
    After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • I would like to display what's on my Mac Pro monitor on my iPad with as little latency as possible. What's the best way to do this?

    Your image history (if I understand you properly) is stored in your catalog file, and nowhere else, and so it is only on a single drive.
    Do you mean you have edited photos on multiple drives? This isn't a problem for Lightroom at all, the software doesn't care, and you can leave things just the way they are. But if it bothers you for some reason, you can move the photos to a single drive if you want. In Lightroom select the desired photos or folders (it's easier to do this using Folders) and drag them to the desired drive.
    Alternative if you will be moving lots of folders: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • My mackbook pro 13' A1278, has had multiple errors with the hard disk.

    My mackbook pro 13' A1278, has had multiple errors with the hard disk. Now does not recognize the internal hard disk, but connect this HD using usb conector works fine.
    So it's a hardware problem.
    I'm really disappointe

    Pipfromvic,
    have you tried installing Mavericks onto an external disk, and booting from the external disk using Startup Manager? If it runs well from an external disk, but continually crashes when running from the internal disk even after clean reïnstallations, then that could point to a faulty internal SATA cable as the culprit.

  • Possibly mundane Mini-DVI to VGA into an external monitor problem

    Hi,
    I've had a look over the interwebs regarding my problem and it seems as if it's not unusual to have external monitor problems but I'm not sure if mine is slightly different:
    I had a perfectly working set up with my new Macbook (the white one, '06 model I believe), that was connected to my Hanns-G HU196D monitor via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, no problems whatsoever. But for a couple of weeks now my Macbook just flickers a light blue colour, with nothing at all on the monitor, and my macbook is unusable until I remove the adapter. I've read about updating firmware but I can't see my desktop once the macbook is connected to the monitor so it's not possible to configure anything. I've read somewhere that my external monitor isn't compatible with this set up, but it was until a couple of weeks ago!
    My Macbook's 4 months old now and since then I've bought a new mini-dvi to vga adapter and a new VGA cable, no connections seem loose on either mini-dvi port or my monitor's vga port.
    Thanks if you can help!
    Jack

    You will need to use a mini Dvi-dvi and a dvi-svideo/rca adapter.
    Joy joy hallelujah.
    Pardon the sarcasm...I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to sort the issue out.
    Heard a KWORLD PlusTV PCTOTV Converter SA235 USB 2.0 Interface would sort the issue out for under 40$ but it's not Mac.
    Hope that helps.

    How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp Assistant or did you use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
    If you used Bootcamp Assistant, did you download and install the Windows Support software (drivers) in accordance with the Bootcamp instructions?
