My MacBook Pro keeps going back to the desktop every 10-15 minutes, no matter what program I am using at the time. I tried restarting but it still occurs.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I don't know what else to do and it's very annoying and disruptive. It occurs every time I go full screen in any application.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!
Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep -
My system preferences won't load. It opens straight up to the desktop folder and pictures won't load, leaving me with a color wheel. I've tried restarting my computer and that doesn't help. System preferences just won't open/load at all. Any ideas?

Just recently my iPad started to get lazy on me I'll go on a website and it has trouble moving through the different applications within it. It has nothing to do with the wifi because it's doing it no matter what wifi it is using at the time?
Not sure what you are talking about.

iTunes will not shut off. Since I upgraded my software, itunes opens no matter what program I am trying to use. If I close it it automatically opens moments later and interferes with what I am working on. This is so annoying
This is probably occuring because your Mac is attempting to wirelessly sync with a device. Try unchecking the checkbox that reads "Open iTunes when device is connected" (this option can be found under the general page of iTunes when you have a device connected).

My MacBook Pro screen keeps going black. This is happening more frequently. I have had it in to the Apple store several times for this and they can't find anything wrong other than it is locked up for a while. Since it is happening more and more, I am worried that at some point this will be permanent.
Has it actually happened at the store?
If not then we need to get it to do that. Now it may be completely random but you need to try and make a note of as many things as possible that happen when it does it.
How long has it been on for, what are you doing at the time, what's connected. If it's reproducible then you've at least got somewhere. -
My screen on my MacBook Pro keeps going black
I got my MacBook in September of 2010. It's a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. I have had great luck with it, until recently. This problem has been going on since like August now and it's time I should quit ignoring it. For some reason when I am just using my computer normally my screen goes black. Everything seems to be disabled but the keypad still lights up. The only way to get my macbook working again to to forcefully shut it off and turn it back on. Sometimes when i use the mouse a certain way (such as sliding 3 fingers to view other open windows) it shuts off. I have also updated my software from Snow Leopard to OS X Lion. I don't know what could be causing it. I have had some issues sending in laptops before to get fixed but I have a feeling it's going to come down to that. I'm a college student and use my computer daily and being a broadcasting major I need this computer for everything I do. Can somebody please help?
I had similar problem with my MacBook Pro. Login window goes black in 4 seconds, but it is not turned off. Push power and screen comes back but goes black again in 4 seconds. I can type in password, but before it logs me in, it goes black. If I connect to external monitor, the screen stays up, and I can use extermal mouse but keyboard input is ignored. This was obviously display problem of the Mac, at the least. (no clue why keyboard does not work when connected to external monitor.
I have solution: Reset PRAM
1. Power down Mac compeltely.
2. Hold down Option, Command, P and R keys (four keys total) while you press power button to boot up Mac
3. Mac will restart at least twice. Listen to noise. After 2nd power up, lift all keys.
I kept holding down the keys and Mac restarted like 5 times before I released keys, then rebooting stopped. Mac now works. The article I read said "wait for 2nd reboot". I though it would stop after twice.
In my case, I think use of extranal monitor confused Mac Book Pro eventually. I see no other side effects (such as loss of data on hard disk, resetting clock, resetting default settings etc) while I do reset, so I think this is relatively safe thing to try. -
Can anyone help read my crash report? My 2010 macbook pro keeps going black screen with looped sound
I've had this laptop since 2010 and it's been pretty good up until about two months ago when it would just randomly crash. The screen would go black and if there was sound going on, the sound would just loop on that single second like a broken record. The only way to get it out of that is to hold the power button and then turn it back on. When these crashes would happen in the beginning it would only be when I had Adobe Photoshop running, now it just happens whenever I'm simply using the internet browsing through Tumblr, Youtube, and Facebook.
Every time I turn my computer back on I get a crash report like this:

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)- Intermittent black screen or loss of video -
Macbook Pro keeps going to sleep / not waking up
Hello all,
I'm having trouble with my MacBook Pro going to sleep randomly. I will be working on the computer, and everything will go black. I can still here the computer running. When trying to wake it up from what seems like sleep, no buttons will work. The only thing I can do is do a hard shutdown, holding down power button, and then turning it back on.
This originally happened about 2 months ago, and only once. Since about 2 days ago, it has been happening about 2 times a day. It occurs when the temperature of the computer is cold as well as when it is warm. I am not running too many programs when it happens. I have reset the PRAM.
Any ideas / comments would be appreciated and helpful. Here are my system specs:
15 inch Macbook Pro
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1067 mHz DDR3
Mac OS X Lion 10.7
Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help diagnose the problem.
Thanks again.Marek,

This worked amazingly!! Thanks for the post awvik360!
I was able to access the internal hard drive and perform a permissions fix through disk utility and re-apply the OS X 10.5.6 combo update on a totally debilitated machine (Mac Pro early 08).
Some clarification though:
{{ I used a MacBook Pro instead of USB/ExternalHD to run a working copy of OS X. }}
~ Just start up the healthy OS X (laptop) in target disk mode (hold 't' key while it powers up)
~ Connect it to the impaired Mac with the highest speed cable available (fire800>fire400>USB)
~ Start up the impaired Mac while holding the alt/option key to select the boot drive.
~ Select the connected OS X (laptop hard disk) and start er up.
~ Run disk utility and you can now use the Fix Permissions option on the impaired Mac's internal hard drive.
~ Run the OS X Combo Update (or presumably other offending update/program) and make sure to change the destination to the internal disk of the impaired Mac
~ Shut down, unplug target disk, start up, and you should be good to go.
I was in some kind of uber-kernel panic and could not start up in safe mode OR from the installation disc, and this worked! Definitely a good emergency procedure to have in your back pocket.
Note: ...target disk pairing must be in this direction. I tried setting up the impaired Mac as target and connecting it to running laptop, and it let me run the install fine, but it didn't fix the problem...must be something with permissions that the impaired Mac needs to install to itself, even if the OS is running on another disk/machine.

I've been trying to fix this for a few days now. I think it started the day after I hooked it up to mirror video to my TV, which I've done before with no issues. I've tried a few of the popular fixes like resetting the smc and pram, and I kind of feel like a tech genius right now for saying that, even though I don't really know what those things are
I also saw where people asking for help were asked to download a program and paste it's results, so I've done that. Here is the etrecheck report:

I've already gotten rid of a few third party apps, but maybe I should get rid of more? Anyway, I'm very frustrated and any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!ktbeth
The problem with garbage software is that their uninstallation programs tend to be garbage as well. In the case of CleanMyMac, it is ineffective and leaves components behind. I verified that myself a few months ago and was curious if they had corrected it by now, but as of five days ago (my last test of it and similar junkware) it had not been addressed.
Only MacPaw, its developer, can know the reason its installer doesn't work, but I can think of two possibilities: either they are purposefully leaving those components behind for reasons known only to them, or they simply don't know what they're doing. Neither one of those possibilities is particularly comforting for the user.
Using CleanMyMac to remove what it considers "junk" will corrupt a system. I know of no way to recover from the effects of having used CleanMyMac than to completely erase the volume on which it was used, reinstall OS X and essential software from their original sources, and restore your essential work files and other documents from a backup that has not been corrupted by CleanMyMac or anything else.
This claim in particular is an outrageous one that cannot be justified under any circumstances:
The above screenshot was recorded on a brand new, previously erased Mavericks installation containing only one minimally configured User account. Just 500 MB can be removed "for free". Therefore there is no Mavericks - running Mac in existence that can be totally "cleaned" of what it considers "useless junk" without paying them for the privilege. Even if localization files (most of what it considers "useless") were to be removed, those files have exactly zero effect on a Mac's performance. On the other hand the lack of them will have effects only their respective developers can know.
MacKeeper on the other hand offers an effective uninstaller, but if you cannot find its app you may need to install MacKeeper again for the sole purpose of uninstalling it.
Once installed, follow these instructions:
Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
Uninstall Trusteer Rapport as well. Follow its instructions, which I believe are effective. Resorting to so - called "cleaners" and "zappers" is a bad idea that will only exacerbate your problems. At present, that Mac is a complete mess that cannot possibly operate as Apple designed it to operate. -

MacBook Pro keeps going to sleep in closed-lid mode and external monitor
I am trying to run the MacBook in closed lid mode with an external monitor. It seems to work fine at first, but after about 10 seconds, it goes to sleep. I can wake it back up but it just goes to sleep again.
Has anyone seen this before?I figured it out. Apparently you can't run in closed-lid mode on battery. I plugged in the power adapter and it's working fine now.
