    my MacBook pro 17'' suddenly shut down with a blink like if you pulled he plug on a old TV. What could course this?

    You can try running these tests.
    Apple Hardware Test doesn't catch everything, so even if it doesn't find a problem, you could have one.

    This is an older article. This refers to startup, but other discussions have seen it appear as you did.

  • Macbook pro Retina suddenly shuts down

    I've bought a macbook pro retina 15" about 2 weeks ago and it suddenly shut itself down today. I believe I heard a short circuit sound. The macbook is quite hot, so I assumed that it was overheating. But I still can turn it on and It has been working perfectly until now. Is anyone has the same experience? Should I bring it back to the store asking them to check on it?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • MacBook Pro 17" suddenly shuts down, connected to power, hardware test normal

    We have a MBPRO 17/2.16 CTO MacBook Pro 17" 2006 that will suddenly shutdown while in use. It is plugged into power. All hardware tests normal. Any ideas?

    Doesn't sound good. A negative hardware test doesn't really mean much. Try this:

  • My macbook pro (late 2008) shuts down but battery is at 25-30%

    My macbook pro (late 2008) shuts down but battery is at 25-30% and I don't get a low power warning box before this happens.  This only happens when the power chord is not connected, and it restarts with no problems once I put the power chord in. Does this mean I need a new battery, or is it an indication of something else? Using osx 10.5.8

    Mine is Unibody 15" MBP late 2008, with the exact problem as yours. It can be a sudden shut down at 25-32%, or, after upgrading to OS 10.7.2, can be hang all of sudden on battery power.
    Condition on, "Replace Soon". From 4.5 - 6 hours when new, goes down to 1 - 2 hours on discrete graphics.
    But after 'abusing' it for the first year in the heat of Jakarta's climate in a non AC room when doing a video editing, before moving back to a comfort AC room at home sweet home, the battery performance is still top notch comparing to other kind than Apple. Also, it caused me to replace the right fan, after a lot of hard work on that first year. Oh, and by the way, I regularly done the battery calibration, at least once or twice between 3-6 months.

  • My Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart without forcing shut down. Hangs on grey screen. iTunes not recognizing iPod.

    HELP!!!
    Here are the specs of my machine:
    2011 13.3" MacBook Pro
    4 GB Ram/320 GB HD
    For the past several months my MacBook Pro refuses to shut down or restart without holding down the power button. Whenever I choose to restart or shut down the computer, it will hang on a grey screen. I have even tried letting it hang for an hour, and it still won't shut down. I notice that once in a while it will retart or shut down correctly if I had not used opened iTunes since turning it on. However, even manually closing iTunes before shutting down or restarting does not solve the problem. It seems as though it only shuts down if iTunes was not used since restarting the computer. Is this a registry error? Do I need to reinstall iTunes? I noticed this problem began happening after I uninstalled Kaspersky Virus Scanner, could that be the problem as well? Also, I cannot guarantee that the problem is only associated with iTunes. I just noticed that one of the few times it shut down or restarted correctly, iTunes coincidentally had not been used. Also, this problem started happening while I was still using Lion and has continued despite upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Also, whenever I update my iPod through iTunes, it won't eject properly, and a transparent icon of the iPod displays on the screen even after I have removed it from the USB port. Furthermore, the iPod will only be recognized by iTunes and will only be updated the first time I plug it in. After removing it and plugging it back in, it won't recognize or update the device unless I shut down and restart the computer. I have the latest addition of iTunes. I also have two iPods, one 80 GB Classic, and one 8 GB Nano, and I have the same problem with both.
    I have AppleCare. Should I take my macbook to the genius bar?
    Applications I normally use are Word, Safari, FireFox, iTunes, FinalDraft, Photo Booth, Notes, Mail, App Store, etc. No real heavy lifting.
    Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :-)
    Thank you everyone!!

    I have this question too.

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down

    A principal at my district has a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2008 (2.4/2X1GB/200-5400/256VRAM/AG) running OS 10.5.8 that will not shut down. When shut down is chosen, the computer restarts instead of shutting down. It does not matter how shut down is chosen, whether it is from pull down menu, keyboard command, click on shutdown in the login menu, etc. I have tried resetting PRAM, SMC, starting up from a known good system, and run diagnostics applications (which turn up no problems). The only way to get the machine to tunr off is hold the power button down until it shuts off.
    The user complains it also gets very hot when he leaves it sitting open in sleep mode. I have not observed that particular symptom. It also tend to run down the battery faster than it should (battery check shows it to have 80+% of it's original capacity.) But Activity Monitor does not show any unusual activity.
    Any suggestions what I can try next to figure this thing out?
    Thanks.

    On occassion (like tonight) my MacBook Pro will not
    shut down - even when I attempt to force quit. Any
    suggestions?
    Happens here too, but very rarely. In my case it mostly happens late at night when OS X is supposed to run some internal maintenance jobs, maybe some of them do not allow a shutdown?
    Does holding the power button down for approx. 10 seconds work? If yes, then I would not worry about it. If no, there is something seriously odd and I would report it to AppleCare.
    Cheers,
    Uwe

    Have you tried holding the power button down for several seconds? I would try the force quit as mentioned earlier first, or go to the Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities and try force quit there.

  • Macbook Pro will not shut down AND other issues...

    Macbook Pro will not shut down. Not using the POWER button, not using control/alt/command/esc, not using force quit, and obviously not by selecting Sleep or Shut down from the Apple menu.
    Force quit will not even pop up when selected.
    Top row keys do not work either, have gone into settings and switched them to F keys and back again, no luck.
    iPhoto will not import photos and will not shut down, gives me a message stating it is importing photos (nothing is connected to computer though). Baffling.

    Thank you everyone xx

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

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down properly

    MacBook Pro will not shut down properly. Gray screen appears with spinning gear but will not shut down completely.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    If you have an optical drive, make sure there is no disc in it.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or shutdown failure, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down correctly

    When I try to shut down my MacBook Pro, it'll shut down then start up again. However, when the login comes up after it has started up, I press "Shut Down" and it works perfectly. Why is it doing this?

  • Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart under Lion.

    After installing Lion, my i5 Macbook Pro will not shut down or restart. The shutdown starts and then hag=ngs with a grey screen and a spinning process indicator. Thoughts?

    Mine too. Restart and shutdown do longer works. Have to hard crash it each time.
    Called Apple, they have no clue.
    Buy a PC. At least Microsoft admit problems and offer solutions.
