MBP shuts down right after starting up. How do I get it to stay on?

I shut down using a Dockables power-off icon and now when I try to power the MBP back up, it gets the desktop screen then shuts down again.

Try to boot up in safe mode by holding the shift key down when the computer starts up:

  • Macbook pro 2012 shuts down right after start up!

    macbook pro 2012 shuts down right after start up. I tried the recovery mode but disk doctor cannot repair Mac osX hard drive.This is the second time that I have to format hard drive and install agin all applications. please advise!

    I am not familiar with "disk doctor" but if you used Disk Utility to repair or reformat the hard disk, and it failed again, it is very likely the drive itself needs to be replaced. It cannot be repaired.
    If Disk Utility cannot repair a hard disk it definitely needs replacement.
    All 2012 MacBook Pro models are less than a year old and therefore covered under Apple's standard one year warranty. Have them fix it.

  • Mac book shuts down right after start up

    my macbook shuts off after initial start up

    Assuming no issues with power adapter or power source, do an SMC and PRAM reset. If those don't work, take it in to Apple for service.
    SMC:
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Apps shut down right after start

    I regularly run into the same problem. When I start any 3rd party app, it starts, shows a black screen and immediately returns to the main screen. After it has happened once, it happens with all 3rd party apps, but all native iPhone applications still work.
    I found a way to fix it: I have to download a new application from appstore or uninstall and re-install an existing application.
    The problem is that this issue comes up regularly and is definitely annoying... I have not found a specific pattern when it occurs, but I would say every 3rd time I try to open an application.
    Any idea what the problem is and how it can be fixed?
    my config:
    iPhone 3G
    OS 2.2 (5G77)
    14.6GB RAM available - 11.4GB free
    iTunes 8.0.2
    Thanks!

    niefl,
    Have you tried the troubleshooting steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 ?
    If those do not resolve the issue, you can try restoring your iPhone, choosing to set it up as a new phone when the process completes (this is an option that appears once the restore process is finished, accompanied by an option to "Restore from backup").

  • TS3276 Mail application keeps shutting down short after start up - resulting in an error message. how can I repair what is wrong without losing my mail history?

    Mail application keeps shutting down short after start up - resulting in an error message. how can I repair what is wrong without losing my mail history?

    Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

  • Final Cut Express Shuts down right after capturing

    Hello all:
    I am using FCE 3.5. I have used this for about a year now and I have developed a problem with FCE shutting down right after I hit escape. I run a lab for a university and it is doing it on ALL of them so it isn't an isolated incident. I repair permissions, reset the PRAM, trashed the prefs and I don't know what else to do.
    I am running imac G5's using 10.4.11 and the new imacs running leopard. Both sets are doing it.
    Any help would be appreciated since our classes start soon.
    Thank you.

    Can you tie the crashes to a recent event: a software update, a new piece of hardware? What else is connected to the computers?
    (You have, of course, triple-checked that the FCE Easy Setup matches the footage you're capturing, yes?)
    After the program crashes, is the captured footage saved?
    What's the lab setup? Does each student have an individual user account? On each computer?
    Lots of questions, I know...
    Here's a suggestion:
    Use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Create a new admin account on one computer. Set the FCE Scratch Disk to the internal drive. Disconnect everything but the camera. Try to capture. See what happens.

  • Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again...without no error information

    I have Adobe Premium CS5 for MAC. My Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again. With no error information.
    I have tried to download it again (web download link) with reopening the computer, but still it does not work.
    Did not ask any serial numbers at all so I assume I was able to "smell" existing program on computer.
    As Dreamviewer is part of bigger package, do i have to install only this program, web design set or what?
    Do I have to download some other programs to get it work? All other graphic and web programs open and work properly.
    What to do? Will it install it again if not uninstalled first?

    For something like this, I would try clearing the program cache first: Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Then restore preferences if the cache trick didn't work: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
    And finally, if neither work, reinstalling using the cleaner tool instructions here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • When I turned my Macbook on and signed in, it has been shutting down automatically and restarting itself immediately after opening the desktop. The error message said, I'd shut down my computer unexpectedly. How can I get it to stop shutting down on me?

    Since downloading OS X Mavericks, my computer has been shutting down midway of starting up. Please help! The problem began after downloading the software free update. Now when I start my computer, it will starts up normal but when the desktop appears, there will be an error message that I shut down my computer because of an error and if I would like to open the applications that were open before the sudden shut down I should press continue. Then when I select continue, it will open up another communication window that my computer is restarting because of an error. Then the screen will revert to shutting down and restarting again. This has been going on now all morning. Can someone hlep me on how to resolve this issue?

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • PS5.1 shuts down right after opening file.

    PS shutss down right after opening jpeg and other files.  Win7 32bit....  What gives?

    Most likely a bad font.  Do you have any 3rd party fonts?
    Also could be driver for video card, printer, scanner.
    If these are all OK check your Event Log (see OS help)

  • Used safe start to try and fix issues with safari on MacBook Pro but it shuts down right after it stops. What can I do.

    Safari kept shutting down and someone suggested trying a safe start to correct issue. All this did was create a new oils sue as my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.1 system only begins the safe start within lay a small portion of the bar filling and then shuts down. Now I cannot even get back to my regular screen.

    artbyval,
    what is an “oils sue”?
    Have you tried booting into your recovery partition? To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilites menu, from which Disk Utility can be selected. In Disk Utility, select the disk that your MacBook Pro boots from (typically named “Macintosh HD”). Once the disk is selected, press the “Verify Disk” button; if it shows problems, press the “Repair Disk” button. Once the verification/repair is complete, restart normally, to see if you can login as normal. Once you can log in again, see if Safari still has the same problem with shutting down.

  • System shuts down immediately after starting

    I have performed a system copy using a procedure that worked great for me in the past. The target was an new empty iSeries that has never been used before.  Everything seemed to copy just normally.
    The problem is this:
    I log on as <SID>OFR and start the system with option 2 from the R3TASKS menu.   The usual work process jobs start up and immediately shut down.
    The WP jobs have this in the job log:
    CPC1224
    Message . . . . :   Job ended abnormally.
    Cause . . . . . :   A SIGKILL signal was received for the job. The action for the signal was to terminate the job.
    Any suggestions of how to determine the cause here?
    Thank you
    Alan

    Jurgen,
    Thanks for your reply.  You are right, the key was in that file. (Volker also pointed me in that direction). For some reason it had a name for my server that was not in my CFTGCP #10.
    WARNING => DpNetCheck: NiHostToAddr(PTC02.PTC) failed (rc=-2)                                                   
    I do not know where it got that address from.  It is close to the correct address but because it was not exactly correct the network access failed.  Once I made the change the jobs stayed up.
    On to to the next problem....

  • E5-00: Ovi Maps shuts down immediately after start...

    Recently, my Ovi Maps got some sort of error/problem, which I dont understand, nor dont know what to do about it.
    When i open Ovi Maps, it automatically shuts down after a few seconds.
    I tried to update to the newest version, when went succesfully. However, the same error remains, it still kepss shutting automatically.
    Does any know what this is causing, and/or how it can be solved?
    Im using an E5-00, firmware version 042.014.231.01 (latest version).
    Thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @thamaestro
    If you update from OVI Maps v3.04 to v3.06 old map data from 00.01.25.114 has to be deleted and new data from 00.02.42.122 downloaded. Are you saying that you watched new regional map data being downloaded and installed as this takes quite a while?
    If you haven't downloaded new map data, would suggest that you delete E:\cities & .qf file, re-start OVI Maps application upon device to re-initialise and re-create necessary folder structure.

  • Why does my 3-year old MBP shut down and not start?

    I have a mid-2010 MPB running Mt Lion and it is giving me fits.  It consistently shuts down for no reason.  I have taken it to the Genius bar and been told that I should add additional memory, so I have doubled the RAM with a new unit.  The problem is that did nothing.  I keep having to restart and now it seems not to want to start at all, so I can't do anything or learn anything.  I have the basic MBP but I have 2011 Office for Mac and the other basic apps on board.  Any ideas?

  • MBP shuts down need re start

    I have  MBP I7 running 10.8.5 8gb memorythe computer has been shutting down the last couple of days.
    I was dragging mp3 files from the desktop to an app in each time this happened. Below is the report I hope its not too long.
    Is this something I should worry about or is it simply a large task for large files reproducing this?

    Sounds like a bad battery and/or problem with the PMU (power management unit) and/or memory.
