2011 MBP shuts down when connected to external display

I've been using my 2011 15" MBP for about a week now with no problem until today when I tried to connect it to my old 20" cinema display. I have the mini display port hooked up to the dvi adapter and a usb connection hooked up to external keyboard and mouse. Everything works just fine if I keep the lid up on the MBP, but if I shut the lid, the MBP shuts down. Down, not that the big screen goes black & then comes on again. It turns itself off.
Any way I can avoid a trip to the Apple store? In the past, the "geniuses" knew less about external displays than I did. Is there an issue because of the dual graphics cards?

no - I realized later that the machine doesn't shut off it just acts like it. The hard drive stops spinning & the screen remains black no matter what I do. This doesn't happen when I just shut the lid & then go back to working on it.
Then if I shut it again & try to get the monitor to respond, I get a blue screen of death color with a two inch band of blue noise along the left side. Very weird.

Sound does'nt shut down when earphones are plugged in. Ipad Mini.

Sound doesn't shut down when earphones are plugged in. Same earphones used with other ipad or iphone give no problem.

might be a hardware issue with the headphone jack. Try cleaning it with a dry soft toothbrush to remove lint and dust.
If that doesn't help:
Try doing a hard reset for the iPad: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using that last article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

MBP shuts down when connecting to power

Since a week or two, my MacBookPro from early 2011 shuts down when connecting the magsafe to power. Also when starting up again it will start up fine and fast from battery, but I need to hold the power button for several seconds when connected to power.
Another problem I had earlier as well is CPU (kernel task) of over 90%, which I now see clearly, only occurs when connected to power. I used to solve this problem by putting the MBP to sleep, but now, when put to sleep, it will shut down.
When on battery, I have no CPU problem and can put machine to sleep without a problem.
I recently started uploading everything to dropbox, and activate caffeine to make sure it will keep uploading. My computer will run for days on power combined with caffeine, but is as slow as **** because of a >90% CPU.
The battery has had a notification for maybe a year, that it needed service, so today I finally bought and installed a new battery, but the problem is not solved. Is this software or could it be my magsafe adapter? Thanks for you help.

It sounds like a problem with the power management inside your MBP. I suggest you call Apple to make an appointment at your local Apple store for them to check it out for you.

MBP shuts down when making Quick time conversion

MBP core duo 1.83 2G ram current updated software.
It shuts down when I try to do a Quick time conversion..
went to the Genius bar and booted from another drive and my macbook still shut down when doing a QT conversion. He says that means it is NOT a software issue.. blames the logic bd.. 310. for a fix if I send it out.. they would keep it overnight and do testing for free.
the console says "previous shut down cause: 3"... He said that was a code for shutting down by holding the button for 4 seconds and got all puzzled about that.
I have been able to convert files using Compressor which I have to do before I can use the go pro video in final cut.
it might have shut down once during a conversion that way.

Monitor your CPU core temp and see at what temp the computer shuts off. Also, download SystemLoad and run that for awhile to stress the processor. See if you can get it to shut down with that and at what temp.

MBP shuts down when battery at appox. 30%

Hello,
I have a 17" MBP 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Recently (in the last 3-4 days) it has decided to shut down completely when the battery charge falls to around 30%. Prior to these symptoms appearing, it behaved normally with the 'low battery warning' appearing at about 5% and then going to sleep mode as opposed to shutting down.
I have reset the SMU by removing the adapter, battery and pressing the power button for 5 secs. Unfortunately the symptoms remain. Obviously I cannot re-calibrate the battery as it won't carry on below 30% charge without the MBP shutting down.
I'll be taking a trip to my local Apple dealer in the next few days but was wondering if anyone else here has any further suggestions I could try.
Many thanks in advance.

Umm... of course Apple will do something. I do not understand why you felt you had to add that to your reply. Allow me to explain:
1. I have AppleCare, therefore if it's a hardware issue then any repair will be carried out without any cost to me.
2. Apple have introduced a 'battery exchange and extension' program:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
If the battery is at fault, regardless of whether I have AppleCare or not, the battery will be replaced as it falls within the terms of the extension program.
I have just now reset the PRAM and am running on battery power. I'll know in the next couple of hours whether that has had any effect or not.
Meantime, if anyone else has any additional suggestions as opposed to 'me too' type replies I would be very grateful.
Many thanks.

MBP Shuts Down when Power cord is removed

My MBP almost instantly shuts down when the power cord is unplugged. The battery has been fully charged; I've tried restarting the laptop, holding down the power button for 10 seconds, and resetting the SMC.
What is going on??

I'm having the very same problem, and unless I find something on the discussions, I'm taking it into the Apple store as soon as possible.
This is my third battery, and each one seems to have a lifetime of about three months. This situation is different, though. The first one was bulging and shutting down when the battery was below 25% charged and the max battery capacity was dropping sharply. The second one was part of the exchange program, but I noticed it was starting to bulge and the max capacity was starting to drop (below ~60%).
This time, the max capacity is around 75% and I first noticed that it would shut down from sleep sporadically when on battery power. Then today, when I opened it, it shut down immediately. The battery was ~90% charged, but it wouldn't start up without the AC adapter. Now every time I unplug the adapter, the computer shuts down within 3 seconds. I also reset the SMC, which I think is the same process as resetting the PMU, perhaps they are equivalent terms or analogous devices, but the problem persists. There is no way to calibrate the battery since the computer won't run off it.
Unless there is something else to try, I recommend anyone with these problems should ask for a replacement battery.

MacBook Pro early 2011 i7 shuts down when charging

Hi Everyone,
These days I've been experiecing intermitent issues with my MBP due to a unexpected shut downs when the charger is plugged in. Any very subtle movement makes the computer shuts down and had to reboot it.
It all started with the charger not working and then it added the shut downs. I tried it all, and based on all the threads Ive been reading Im more towards a faulty charger problem? Am I right here?
All help, comments and suggestions welcome

Sounds the like you need a new charger.

MBP shuts down when lid half closed

Hope for some feedback. Quite a while ago (several months at least) I noticed that when I closed the lid the computer shut off rather than went to sleep. It seemed kind of random at first, and taking it in is a hassle. I did the troubleshooting at the reset the SMC instructions, and nothing else seemed to be going wrong. I mean I had had the mother board replaced 2x, a new screen, hard drive and a new fan,and memory upgrades since purchase. When I did go in the person at the Genius Bar indicated that probably it had to do with the system being out of date and it just wasn't getting the upgrades that later products were able to receive. Now, some of the mentioned repairs were when my Applecare had expired, believe me I asked if it was worth it to repair and I was told it was. I use Adobe CS3 for work and can't afford really to buy the latest as well as a new laptop. So I went home somewhat discouraged but just worked around it - remembered to do a shut down myself, or walked around with the lid open (not advised I know) and with the exception of a few times I just automatically shut the lid, I was coping, though frustrated. Yesterday it shut off with 37% battery left, so I reviewed the SMC instructions and redid. No difference. But I did notice when I took the time to close the lid slowly the shut down initiates when the lid is about 1/3 of the way down. Any ideas out there as to the mechanism? Could something be loose from all the hardware replacements? BTW, this is the very first time I ever found a person working at the Genuis Bar to be so dismissive. Anyone surfing the net this Labor Day week-end? Hoping for help. The machine is the 2.4 GHz Core Duo 17" running Leopard, the Snow Leopard is my sister's

MBP Shuts down when case pressed

My 2007 2.4GHz 17" MBP has started shutting down when any pressure is put on the RAM cover. Does not matter if the battery is installed or not. Any ideas on a fix?

Does it do this when on the A/C adapter or just when running on battery. If the latter, remove the battery and inspect it for any swelling, deformation of leakage. If it's leaking, the goop will look like blue-gray papier máche at the joint between the metal and plastic parts of the battery case.
If you've not tried replicating the shutdown while on A/C power, that would be a good next step in the diagnostic process.

Why did my ipod shut down when it was fuly charged.

my ipod shut down when it had changed all night.

I buy a new cd yesterday. I went home to go on my computer hook up my Ipod to put new music on it. I did this all before. Usually went like a piece of cake. When I did it yesterday my Ipod after I put new music on it. My Ipod went not bright out. I didn't see it was okay to disconnected. Usually I did it will be light up. My Ipod was so dark I couldn't see the okay to disconnected. Can someone help why it's acting like that?

White macbook pro shuts down when its not plugged it?

That will happen if the battery dies. Have Apple replace it.

Late 2011 MBP shutting down randomly.

My late 2011 15" MBP will randomly shut down. I have disabled SMS because I installed an SSD about 2 months ago. I noticed that it happens when I place my laptop in my backpack or even when I close the lid and put it down on a table or a couch. I am pretty gentle with this machine. I've had these problems even before I installed the SSD. Before I had a 750GB HDD that had to be replaced because it was faulty. I have taken my machine in to an Apple sanctioned store with a certified tech on site to be serviced(also the placed I purchased the machine) and they solve the problem for a couple of weeks, then it starts up again. Not really sure where to go from here. Any help would be great.

Ok, so I ran the Apple Hardware Test (I needed to press and hold Option (alt) + D on startup, not ONLY D, which the apple KB stated) and the result was pretty clear:
"AHT found the following problem: 4MEM/60/40000000: 0x8329b798"
According to other discussions on the forum, this is, as Linc Davis stated, a problem with the RAM.
So, how do I reinstall the original RAM? Is this something that you can do by yourself? My Apple Care has expired, but I might have som guarantee left from the store where I bought my computer.
Thanks for the help!

My MBP shuts down when installing OSX

My MBP overheats and randomly restarts when using it. When I went to reinstall OSX Snow Lepoard it almost completes the install then the MBP shuts itself down. If you can help me I would greatly appreciate it!

Welcome!
When my MBP started that same behavior, I found that I had accumulated a huge list of wireless networks on my travels. Reviewing the system log, I found my computer was trying to connect to one, a hotel network to which I had connected weeks before and miles away.
Here's how I fixed it (I have 10.5.8, not 10.6, but the fix should be the same):
1) Open System Preferences and select "Network."
2) Be sure "Airport" is selected in the left side of that preference pane.
3) Click the "Advanced" button. If the next screen does not have the "Airport" tab selected, select it. There should be a window with a list of networks.
4) Use the + and - buttons below to remove any networks you have accumulated that are not needed. Example: on mine, I removed all but two networks--our home network and the one at a local museum where I volunteer.
5) Once you'd cleaned off the list to the bare necessities, uncheck the option labeled, "Remember any network this computer has joined." This will not prevent you from using other networks on later travels but will prevent them building up and creating problems.
That completely cured my wake-from-sleep problems. and other have said it worked for them, too.

MBP shuts down when in sleep mode

I left my core i5 MBP 15 asleep during the day today with about a 85% charge. I opened the lid later this evening and the computer shut down and when I started it up, it only had a 58% charge. Please let me know what's going on or what I need to do. Thanks.

Tech. Support told me to send my laptop to them after too much of my time wasted. They were trying to make me install the Thinkpad Power Manager software and driver once again. They even said it was normal if your laptop shuts down after a few minutes or hours in sleep mode which is completely stupid unless the battery drained off and that's not the case.
And what's more important, my laptop was working faultlessly until I sent it to them for service. Then they changed the main board but they broke my LCD screen and caused the problem with Sleep mode. So I had to send it back, they changed the LCD with a 2005 HT14P12-100 when I had bought it in 2008 but they did nothing about the Sleep problem. And they want me to swallow that?
Ok, they'll collect it on Monday or Tuesday because I told them I was fed up and I didn't want it like that. I don't expect they'll solve the problem but I don't want it back until my Thinkpad works like it used to do before they put their hands on it.
