My MacBook Pro 13'' shuts down randomly while connected to the power cord.

   Alright, so my Mac is shutting down while being connected to the power cord. Though, when I unplugged it, it runs just fine.
I've read up on the other random shut downs but they seem to be different in my case. I was only surfing youtuve on Firefox, granted I had a few other tabs open but they weren't doing anything that would run the computer hot, and it shut down out of no where. The battery was full and it was still connected to my power cable. The screen went blank and the computer was completely off. I noticed that the light on the plug in wasn't on and switch the outlet that the computer was plugged into and replugged it into my computer. The light came on and after about three or so times of pressing the power on button it came back to life. Though, it stayed on the start up, white apple page and just spun. After a while it looked as if it was about to go to my password page but it shut down after gently moving the computer. The power cable light went off once again. I unplugged it and replugged it into my computer but the light would not come back on. After just removing the cord and pushing the button a few times my computer came back to life and I logged in as normal except for the fact that after it came back on the date and time was reset and several applications needed permissions. It also randomly logged me out of my Facetime account as well.
All in all I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and know what's going on or if this is new. Could it be some kind of spark in the power cable from a broken wire that made my computer shut down or is it something attacking my computer?

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • MacBook Pro Retina shutting down randomly

    Hi
    Some shile ago my MBP Retina 15" started shutting down randomly while i use it. Then it takes like 10-30 minutes to cool down and then it can be turned on agin. If you try to switch it on earlier than it sounds like it's starting as ususally but the screen is either black from the very beginning or goes black in a couple of seconds while starting up.
    BTW the thunderbolt port refused to work some while ago, if you plug in a thunderbolt display the MBP will switch off much faster than if you work on it as a lap top.
    Any ideas what this can be and how it can be fixed?
    The system message that pop-up upon restarting the MBP is below:

    It looks as if it's a GPU panic. However, it could have been caused by any combination of:
    com.silex.driver.sxuptp          1.5.1
    com.citrix.driver.net6im          1.1.3
    com.deterministicnetworks.driver.dne          1.0.9
    com.deterministicnetworks.driver.dniregistry          1.0.4
    Try booting into Safe Mode (holding down the Shift key whilst booting) and see if the panics stop. If so, determine if the are updates to the drivers or find the kernel extensions and put them in a folder on your Desktop and reboot without them.
    Good luck,

  • Mid-2009 macbook pro 13" shuts down randomly when unplugged

    When my MBP is plugged in, it has never restarted on me. Most of the time when it is unplugged it doesn't either, but for the last month or so it will randomly power off (it pauses for a half-second, screen dims and it turns off .) I have Mavericks on it and 128GB SSD in it originally when the problems started, I installed a 240GB SSD a week ago and restored to an image from before the problem started happening (April 14th) and it seemed like it was fine but within a day or two I noticed the problem again. I am not sure if perhaps some update is breaking it or what, but it is pretty irksome. The battery seems to be fine, although I'll admit it has said 'service battery' in the past (but it says 'normal' in the system profiler and lasts ~3-4 hours.) I have tried resetting the SMC using these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 but it doesn't seem to have helped. I can restart the macbook on battery power after it turns off, so the battery doesn't seem to be dead when it powers off - in fact it will sometimes turn off when there are hours of life left. The macbook doesn't get particularly hot so I don't think it is an overheating issue.
    Any ideas what could be the problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I finally gave in and bought a new battery and installed it (I've suspected this might be the problem for awhile) but unfortunately it hasn't fixed the problem at all. In fact, it almost seems worse - previously it has just had problems randomly, however I noticed just now at 42% it shuts down randomly within a a few minutes - it's happened 3 times in a row now (I turned it back on each time, leaving it unplugged, and it shut down again.) Any other thoughts?

  • Macbook Pro keeps shutting down randomly

    Hello-
    My 15" Macbook Pro (Late 2011) has started unexpectedly and randomly shutting down. I recently installed Mountain Lion and it started after that, and only seems to happen when running on battery power. I've tried an SMC reset multiple times and that doesn't seem to help. I'm running a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM, updated to 10.8.2.
    Based on my battery report, I don't think that's the issue:

  • Macbook pro constantly shuts down randomly

    Hi all,
    this has been happening for a while. But lately, it's been happening very regularly and I'm getting really annoyed about it.
    I don't know what's wrong with my macbook. It's not overheated. Can someone help?
    I've copied and paste the latest crash report below.
    Thanks so much.

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. You might be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Try that first, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution.

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. 
    Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

  • Since I've loaded the creative cloud my MacBook Pro keeps shutting down.  Need suggestions.

    SInce I loaded the creative cloud software my MacBook Pro keeps shutting down. Is there a reason for this?

    There is not one specific program that it shuts down in, random shut downs and I could be in an Adobe application or another program. It may be be a coincidence, but my shut downs seems to have started after I installed Adobe's Creative Cloud.  Apple now has my laptop exploring what may be causing my issues. Their first reaction was that it could be some sort of software conflict.  I'm waiting on their diagnosis. 

  • My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before

    MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before?  I've only had this for about 3mos.  I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

    Hi S,
    Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

  • My MacBook Pro recently shut down on me all of a sudden. When I restarted it, it popped up with a gray box with 'OS X Utilities,' then listed various options such as 1. restore from time machine backup, 2. reinstall OS X, etc. what do I do now?

    My MacBook Pro recently shut down on me all of a sudden. When I restarted it, it popped up with a gray box with 'OS X Utilities,' then listed various options such as 1. restore from time machine backup, 2. reinstall OS X, 3. get help online and 4. disk utility. what do I do now? I have not backed up to Time Machine in a few days, so I'm not sure I should restore from time machine backup, is there something else I can do? Help!

    Guitar21,
    your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting down during installation of OSX Mountain Lion?

    Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting down during installation of OSX Mountain Lion?

    Hmm, good luck then!
    I'm pretty much exactly on the opposite side of the planet, but I've been to Vermont and remember its rural beauty well. However, I can't imagine you having the only Internet connection within a reasonable radius (where "neighbors" hanging off the same ISP don't count). Uh, that note only if your wired connection to the router produces no good result, either...

  • Macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart.

    macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart

    Sorry I said sorta wrong. I can shut down and I can update to the point of restart but it just sat for 45 minutes after an update. It goes through the update and to restart then the bars chase each other in a circle and it never restarts. So I hit the power button and go through normal reboot but loosing the update in the process. It does not matter how long I wait for a natural reboot after an update or click to restart it will chase the little bar in circles all day literally and never reboot.

  • What do I do when my macbook pro just shuts down and when I plug my charger in, it faintly blinks green and yellow and doesnt charge?

    what do I do when my macbook pro just shuts down and when I plug my charger in, it faintly blinks green and yellow and doesnt charge?

    Hi aaliyafrommarkham,
    In order to troubleshoot this, I would recommend that you start with an SMC reset. Information on this procedure can be found here:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

    1. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    2. If there's no change, see below.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • 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.
