Mbp shuts down unexpectedly when remove the thunderbolt cable

Today when I turn on my thunderbolt display connected to my macbook pro, it was not fitting, so I forced insertion and then nothing happened, so when I removed the T-bolt cable my macbook pro shuts down unexpectedly.
so I think I may have damaged or something in the socket

Not sure what the cause is but you can try resetting the SMC.

  • MBP shuts down unexpectedly when on battery

    Today my MBP shuts down unexpectedly when on battery. It started at about 50%. I seems to happen if I don't a thing for a short while when I read something or so. I most of the time when using mu MBP have it on the net cord but today I wanted to work the battery.
    Does anyone know what it could be? I have searched in the forum but the answers hasn't been satisfying. I find it weird that I have to use the keyboard or the track pad to keep going.

  • My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE  app, has anyone experienced this problem?

    My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE  app, has anyone experienced this problem?

    This is not a problem I have only had with 7th gen. iPod.  I have had this problem with the 5th gen.  It goes back a few years.  Nike and Apple are aware of this.  Nothing has been done.  It appears that when the iPod voice commences (whether to update you on the status of your run) and you touch a button to prompt a mileage update or song change yourself (or even brush the device wrong when taking off a jacket), the operating system overloads and cannot sort it out.  It then shuts down and reboots.  Your mileage is lost.  So sorry.  Have a nice day.
    Love the other aspects of running with a nano (small and light weight).  I can keep it high and dry and out of the way.  Like the software.  Use it almost everyday.  Hate the unknown dropped runs.  I have logged over 2,000 miles with these devices.  Today I lost another 3 miles - probably the 30-40th time it has happened.  Frustration is somewhere between time for another device to time for another system - Map My Run indeed!
    This probably occurs with my iPod once or twice a month.  Went to the Apple Store - three times.  The first time was maybe two years ago and they first tried some magic dust and then on the second visit, they swapped out my nano - it was a bit flimsy.  The problem returned.  I then upgraded.  The problem returned.  The third time they did a reset and it seemed to help.  Then, it returned.  But to download an older software version, verify the fidelity of the UBS cable, jump from computer to computer, make a trip to the Apple store, and perform so many two steps on one leg just to get what we paid for seems . . .  well, lame.  And, Apple told us the thingy would work using all the different computers and software (Vista, Nike, etc. etc.).   
    Oh, one other thing.  The Apple Store told me to complain to Nike.  Nike said their software is fine.  This is like dealing with General Motors or the government - but, worse.  Not my problem man.  See the guy over there.  Got it.
    I note that no one from Apple is jumping in the chain here with a fix.  So much for customer exuberance.  Generally like Apple.  We have about 20 Apple devices in our family (desktops, portables, phones, pods, tablets) and are lining up for the watches . . .  but, maybe Apple is an idea who time has come and gone, . . . like the wind. 

  • My macbook (aluminum 13inch) shuts down unexpectedly when battery 45%

    hello there,
    my macbook 13inch-aluminum, 2 years old, shuts down unexpectedly when battery state is at about 45% and when an external hard drive (western digital passport 160gb) is connected, or an iphone on a usb port. This occurs only when my mac is running on battery power. I suppose same thing will happen with any other usb device connected. Last time the same thing happened, i did not have any usb device connected onto my laptop.
    My battery details are
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 2377
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3234
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 276
    Condition: Normal
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 376
    Voltage (mV): 12249
    I tried to reset my SMC settings as well, but this did not help. Any thoughts please?

    Your full charge capacity is about 75% of what it should be, even though your cycle count is comparatively low. If you still have AppleCare, you ought to be able to convince them on the phone or at your local Genius Bar that you have a defective battery, because your capacity should be much higher at that number of cycles.
    If you do not have AppleCare, you will probably have to pay for replacement.

  • MBP shutting down unexpectedly even though battery meter still has charge

    Hi,
    just in this last week, my MBP has been shutting itself down very suddenly when on battery power when there's still charge left.
    At first there was about 25% charge left. Over the next few days, that went up progressively till today it is now shutting itself down with more than 50% charge left.
    Has anyone had issues such as this? and what should i do to rectify it?
    I'm going to try recalibrating the battery.
    I don't usually use the MBP with the power connected
    I try where I can to charge and then disconnect and use till power is low.

    I was having same problem: meter shows plenty of charge left, yet MBP shuts down. When I decided to take a look at my battery (also with recall in mind) was horrified to find it swollen and warped so badly -- pushing out of its casing. Could barely get it out and then back in. That I'm getting any charge at all amazes me considering how badly the battery is misshapen.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I'm beginning to think Apple's not being quite up-front about the seriousness of the problem: Yes, MBP gets hot, yet no more than my old PowerBook and iBooks.
    But, had we been given batteries which are perhaps really unsafe, not to mention causing lost work time and maybe systemic difficulties?

  • MacBook shuts down unexpectedly when the MagSafe is touched or removed

    Hi, I got my new MacBook during November of 2009 but two weeks ago it started shutting down by itself once I touch the magsafe of the macbook or remove the magsafe. All it needs is a simple touch and it shuts down. When it does shut down, the light indicator doesn't come on anymore. I have to keep removing the magsafe, and plugging it back in like 20 times until it starts charging again. So now I just let it fully charge every time I use it since any sudden movement will cause it to shut down. I will be making an appointment next week at the apple store because I had no time to go these past 2 weeks. I never dropped it and take good care of it. I am just wondering what might be the cause of this? I hope they do not take weeks to fix the mac since I have a lot of homework to do... Thanks!

    Anything is possible, but a firmware issue is not very probable.
    Did Apple troubleshoot and repair your Mac? It's not the iBook as listed in your profile is it?
    If Apple recently did the repairs and the problem persist then you should contact them, as they are obligated to fix it.
    Did they for sure rule out the Magsafe adapter?
    Which board did they replace? The logic board or just the DC board? Or both?

  • Windows 7 shuts down unexpectedly when I close my lid

    I recently installed Windows 7 Professional x86, and recently when I close my lid my computer instead of going to sleep, which is what the power setting is set to, it shuts down. When I open my computer, I have to turn my computer on and when Windows loads, I get the 'Windows shut down unexpectedly' window. Has anyone heard of this happening or has had it happen to them or knows how to fix it?

    Didn't find anything in the Action Center. But did find similar events that match the times in the Event View that said the following:
    'The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error
    could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power
    unexpectedly.'
    They all has the source as being Kernel-Power, Event ID of 41, and Task Category of (63). Searched Microsoft's website and it didn't return any results. Despite this, it hasn't happened since I originally posted this. Hopefully it doesn't start doing it again. Although one thing I remember it saying on the 'Windows has experienced an unexpected shutdown' window was something about a blue screen. But I never saw one. And I don't know what would even cause this to happen cause I never had this problem when I had Windows XP Pro on my Mac.

  • Black Macbook (Late 2006) shuts down unexpectedly when plugged in!

    I have been having trouble with my Macbook shutting down unexpectedly for the past two weeks and got it checked out and it turned out it was the battery that needed replacement. So I'm using it without the battery but connected to the Magsafe adapter while my new battery gets mailed to me but suddenly it shuts down anyways! What could it be?

    Hello Brine,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    According to the Apple support document below, just bumping the A/C adaptor could cause the Macbook to disconnect and shutdown. Are you positive that this isn't happening?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332?viewlocale=en_US
    Otherwise, you may just have to wait and see if the issue persists when the new battery arrives.

  • MBP shuts down suddenly when running in battery mode

    Hi
    I am from Zaragoza (Spain) and lately (about 2 months ago as I can remember) my mbp shuts down when running in battery mode and without any advice. I see some of you also have this problem.
    I thought it was me not seeing the low battery indicator but last week I realized the battery was above 40%!!
    This problem has been repeating and the battery level was between 40% and 60% when my computer shut down.
    What am I supposed to do? My MBP is still in warranty and I bought it in the online apple store.
    Thanks for the help.

    In the system profiler it says the cycle count to 24. The laptop is from late March 2008.

  • Chrome shuts down unexpectedly when accessing finder such as when I upload pictures to Shutterfly.

    I've trouble shot the RAM pretty thoroughly. I have bought two 1 Gig chips, each from a different source. Each of the third party chips will run the computer all day long in the main slot, as will the Apple 1 gig chip. I can do heavy intensive work with only 1 gig and never have a problem.
    I have also run memory tests on all three and they all pass with flying colors. Certainly it might be reasonable to try an apple RAM next, but at Twice the price, I'm slow to go that route. Both of the third party chips appear to be in good shape. They all are DDR2 PC5300 667Ghz. Both of the chips were procured from stores that I have used for 20 years and are well known to be high quality brands.
    My thought is that there may be a problem with the upper RAM slot connector. Does anyone know if you can start the machine with RAM only in that slot? I might try that as another troubleshooting effort.

    I have a similar issue with my older MacBook Pro 3,1 since Mavericks.  In Mavericks it would completely freeze.  In Yosemite it reboots.
    On my machine somehow it is tied to whether I have Wifi turned on or off (whether associated with a connection or not).  I typically use my computer near the router and turn off the wifi.  Since Mavericks if I turn off my Wifi, it will eventually crash so I have to manually disassociate but leave wifi on to keep my computer from crashing.  Not sure where the [com.apple.calendar.store.log.caldav.coredav] errors fit in but I always see them shortly before a crash if wifi is off.

  • Macbook shuts down unexpectedly when battery reaches 20% and unplugged

    I noticed this behavior after installing the Bonjour Update 2010-001 (version 1.0) and the Remote desktop client update (version 3.3.2) last night. Upon reaching 20% of battery capacity, the macbook shuts down, and will not restart until it is plugged in. There is no warning, it just turns off.
    Does anyone know what's going on?
    Message was edited by: incomethax

    Wow! I recently had this same EXACT problem and called Apple Care about it last week and said that they cannot do anything about it since my battery cycle is too high ( only 315) ! MacBook is the same model as yours. I finally brought mine in today at a local genius bar (Otay Ranch) and they replaced the battery even though My Mac's just a little over a month its 1 year warranty. I will now calibrate this battery and see if the same problem persists. When I called about this problem, the Apple Care rep says that he has never seen this problem before but now I just saw this and glad that I wasn't the only one, maybe its a faulty design on the first generation Unibody with removable batteries (Late 2008)

  • MBP shuts down immediately on pressing the start button

    Hi !
    I have an early (1.st generation I guess) MacBook Pro, that has taken on a weird behaviour. The issue has arised while a child was fidling about with th computer, so how the illness occured, I don't know :-/
    The symptom is really annoying: as soon as the power button is pressed, about 2 seconds of HD spinning can be heard, and then the shut-down click sounds. Nothing can bring the computer to life. The battery is full, and the power cord is fully functional.
    Anyone with an idea of what I have to do to bring the computer back to life?
    Best, Pino

    I have opened up the MBP, dismantled the DVD drive, and extracted the DVD inside, reassembled and restarted. No effect. So, it's not the DVD drive causing the problem.
    For some weeks, the MBP has  had no power connection, and I was suprised when I yesterday reattached the power cord and tried to start up the thing. Absolutely nothing happened. No sound or action whatsoever. But after beeing connected for an hour or so, things were back to normal: clicking starup sounds from spinning-up hardware, but immediate shutdown after two seconds.
    This leads me to ask the following question: could this be caused by a some little battery on the motherboard? It seems to me, that the problem is connected to insufficient charging, but the Mac should be able to operate without its main battery, when the powercord is connected and lights properly up.

    WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??

    That many cycles is amazing service. A battery that consistently shuts down at about the same charge level percentage every time probably has a bad cell (that info came form an Apple technician) and needs to be replaced.
    It's given you far longer service than many of us get, and may be a new record around here for cycle count!
