My mac book pro turn on alone

I have been noticed that several times a week at the same time (0.00 h) my mac book pro turn on alone. What Can I do to fix this issue ? Thanks in advance

Open system preferences and go to the Energy Saver section then click on the Schedule button, bottom right hand side of that window, and see if you have "Start up or wake" option checked.

Mac book pro, Turns off and goes under protection especially with an External monitor on.

Mac book pro,
Turns off and goes under protection, sometimes without any specific motivation, but most of the time when an External monitor is pluged-in.
I use it when I work with final cut pro, and this problem it's becoming huge and changing my workplans....
It can turns off also 10 times in two hours.
In many forums I read that the CPU temp could be the problem, but I've checked it and It's always around 62°-68°....
In some others they say that the new RAM could be the problem too.
Is anybody able to help me? (Underneath you can check the Panic Report and my mac informations)
Thank you so much.
Antonio

Mac book pro turned off by itself

Mac Book Pro turns off

Hello,
My Mac Book Pro turns off without reason. It hypernates. At first I thought it was the battery but It is not that. It says it has 2:30 left, but to turn it on I need to plug in the adapter. It does that for 2 days now.
Thank you in advance,
Chrystalla

The battery has an integrated microchip that acts as a "fuel gauge." Calibration resets this gauge, which allows the OS to better determine times to charge and discharge the battery. Calibration should be done approximately every two months. Failure to do so for a long period of time can result in the microchip "fuel gauge" in the battery losing the ability to accurately determine the remaining charge, and it will report that there is more charge in the battery than is actually present. As a result, the computer will not initiate Safe Sleep at the proper time, and instead undergo a hard shut down, one of the main causes of hard drive directory damage.

Hi ..
The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
Make sure there's enough free storage space ...
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, control click startup disk icon then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

With the right approach, you may still be able to have your MacBook Pro designated as Dead On Arrival (DOA). Otherwise, consider doing some basic repair steps as listed below. From my previous post:
Repairing Permissions and/or Resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU) is known to resolve certain anomalies or conditions, and may help with your symptom. Neither process will compromise or harm anything with your Mac so it’s worth a shot.
Repair Permissions:
Go to: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
Select: your Hard Drive
Select: the First Aid tab
Select: Repair Permissions
Resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU)
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
Press the Power button to restart the computer.

My Mac book pro turns on with a grey screen with a blinking folder question mark. Help!

My bag carrying my computer fell on the ground as I was entering a cab. I checked my computer immediately for damage and it seemed to work fine. After about an two hours, I went back to my computer and it had a black screen and was getting very hot. I held the power button down and it restarted only to have a grey screen with a blinking folder + a question mark. I've already looked on the forums, and I don't have the CDs with me as I am traveling, and I don't have much backed up.
I appreciate any advice provided.
Thank you!

Mac book pro turning on problems?

hi there
my macbook pro has stopped working.
all it does at the moment is whilst chargering the green light is on the charger. Also when you hold down the battery indicator button is just flashes with one light and goes off. i ve left it on charger for over 10 hours and still no change. when you hold down the power button nothing happens not either the light on the front.
any ideas anybody?
many kind regards

Get to your local Apple Store or AASP as soon as possible. I doubt that you'd even be able to run a hardware test if the machine won't boot at all.
Sounds as if you've a serious problem.

Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
- I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
- When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
- The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
- Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
- I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.
Thank You

Hi all - troubles sons mac book pro (bought Dec 2011). When he turn it on - get folder with ? I assume can't find start-up items. trouble is - he can't get disk to go in

HI all
Pardon me for the stupid title - -been some time since on the forum
This is much better.
So the situation on son's Mac Book Pro.
It seems a few days ago the computer would not take a CD - -not huge deal
Then suddenly he had trouble.
Turned on computer and get the folder with the ?     I am pretty certain this means it
can't find the start-up items.
I guess he tried to do some "diagnostics on the internet - it was a Hardware diag.
and said everything was OK but couldn't find a HD
So he bought a new HD and we just installed it. Start tje computer and the same question in folder.
He bought the HD from apple so not an aftermarket.
I guess he is not sure where is start-up disks our (kids)   but what can we do now?
He is at our house now and can't seem to connect to the internet becuase he can't see my network
which is wireless.
Is there something we can try - -should we re-install the old HD - -the new one may not be formatted
not sure all we know is it was from Apple direct.
He just told me the OLD hard drive could be read by a device at school. So it seems perhpas the HD MAY? be
OK but there is some sort of communication thing going on.
In the old dayson my G-3 slot - -we would start up with a network
Not sure how do do any of that on this book
PLease help - - very important (he is a grad student and needs the computer that is why he paid for
on day shipping
What do we do? Any tips tricks?\ please offer any ideas - -dad is stuck - -Thanks
Jim

Hello Grant - -Thanks - -
I notice you are west of Boston - -we in Medford and son goes to Tufts in town
(small world)
Not really certain what you are telling us - - I am not good at computers
A couple of other things that may be tips - -
1 - on wednesday of this week
our son noticed the fan was going on almost continuosly,
After that trouble started - -
2. - When we put the new HD in - -same things happened,
which is ? mark in folder (start-up items)
3. - His computer will not see my wireless even if I put it next to my I-mac
It sees several networks but not mine - -and if we type in my netwokr
info - -it will not take.   He wanted to try a network start-up .
I forget how that is done.
4, - The bottom of the computer is getting hot - -much hotter than i think it should.
any ideas why his computer won't see my router?
I think he may just have to take it to Apple Store on Newbury Street.
Would they be able to get his info off the old HD assuming it is still good and
transfer to the new HD fairly easy.
LAstly - - I am pretty certain I have the str-up disks for my I-mac which is running
10.5.8.
Would I be able to do anything with my computer and hook into his computer
into mine like an external device or something like that
I really appreciate your thoughts and efforts on this and must admit I have no
external enclosrure? but I have an external HD on my I-mac
As you can tell - -I am not to good at this
Thanks from Meffa    (lol0   Jim the father

My mac book pro turn on alone
