My macbook pro keeps logging me out whenever I try to software update. How do I get it to stop and is this something I need to worry about?
Recently my macbook started logging me out at random times and then I thought that maybe if I updated the software it won't do it anymore but whenever I go to click on the software update icon it logs me out. I'm worried that this might be something serious. Any ideas?

Macbook pro keeps logging me out after using migration assistant
Hello All,
I have a Macbook pro (bought it two years ago). It used to shut down automatically. Took it to Apple after backing up using time machine. They installed a fresh OS on it and took everything else out. I made a dummy account and no more shut downs happend so I migrated my old account over using MA. Now all my accounts are there but as soon as I log in, it logs me out !!! no error message.
Help would be appreciated.

i have a macbook pro and just recently after a shutdown, it now keeps logging me out right after i sign into my mac. I tried disk repair, file permissions repair and safe mode and none fixed/ nor safe mode got me inside my mac.
I want to save some files I have on there but can't because I cannot log in.
How were you able to run a disk repair? Did you do that from an install disc?
Can you boot into "single-user" mode? If so there are some commands you can run that will allow you to look into logs files, where you might find the reason for your problem. -
When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid? But how can I fix it?
Thanks!My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
I may just have to bring my own in. -
When downloading application updates, which are over a GB, my MacBook Air keeps logging me out and I have to start the download over. I have the power settings set to never turn off, and the display set to never go to screen saver. Any suggestions?
I have the exact same problem/situation since a few days
I have not intalled a program lately.
Any progress Voratima??

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.
You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast. -
Macbook Pro randomly logs me out (10.6.8)
Hello,
I have recently been having a problem with my laptop: while I am using it, it randomly logs me out. This means it quits all applications, which is getting pretty irritating as I am working on a big project!
Here are the specs:
MacBook Pro 15" 2.2 GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo
6 GB memory
320 GB capacity HD (with 30 GB of that free)
4 years old (bought in January 2008)
Please note: the system preferences are *NOT* set to log me out after any period of inactivity — and anyway, it happens while I am working, typing, etc.
I thought it perhaps could be due to the RAM upgrade I did, but I did that about 6 months ago, and this problem just started happening over the last month or so. Now it is happening several times a day.
Any ideas what the problem could be??
Thanks!!There could be a bug in the software.
do you still have your original install disc that came with your Mac?
If you do power off the Mac put the disc in the slot power up the Mac push in the disc and hold down the "C" key as soon as you hear the chime. Keep holding the C key till the gear stops spinning.
This will reinstall the OS leaving all your data in place. You will then have to do a software update.
Some of your preferenes migh have to be reset.If the problem still persist, I would look at third party software. -
Macbook Pro randomly logging me out
I've been having a recurring problem lately with my Macbook Pro
15"
Core i5 2.4Ghz
8GB RAM
Intel HD/ NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M video processors (set to auto-switching)
I get 2-3 random logouts per day where I am in the middle of using my computer - everything stops and freezes and doesnt respond for about 10-20 seconds.
My screens then go blue and I am presented with the login screen.
Obviously, my applications are all closed and my work is unsaved.
It happens during random times although it usually seems to happen when I am putting the processor under load.
Once when I was opening a bunch of Quicktime movies (40-60MB each), another time opening a page on Vimeo, another time while working in Photoshop CS5
This all started happening 2 weeks ago when I got a new 27" Apple LED
I have the 27" directly plugged in as my primary display with the MBPs 15" display as my secondary.
All my peripherals are running through the Display's USB ports which is plugged into my MBP
Using the MagSafe attachment from the Display also
My gut feeling & fear is that it has something to do with the video card - as that is most likely under a much higher load than before when I was running my old crappy small Dell display.
Things I've tried:
- checked to see if 'auto log out' was on (it's not)
- Repaired permissions (nothing of note)
- reset the PRAM
- Reset the SMU (I think . . . not sure what the method is on a MBP with embedded battery)
- tried disabling 3rd party extension type things (better touch tool, dropbox, etc)
- Updated to 10.5.8 via the Combo Updater
- Attempted to see any helpful messages in the Console log and come up with nothing
I don't think any other software has been installed since. (possibly a Flash update)
Other random pieces of software that I am running:
CS5 Production Suite
Cisco AnyConnect VPN (for remote server access, etc)
Sophos Anti-Virus (company mandated, not by choice)
Better TouchTool
Dropbox
Twitter
My next attempt will be at un-installing the Flash browser plugin
(i've had bizarre behavior from their new Flash auto-updater plugin, previously)
Has anyone else had this issue?
My technical level is pretty high so don't be afraid to offer more complex suggestions.My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8

My MacBook Pro randomly logs me out and in. HELP!
My MacBook Pro 3.1 (late'07) is randomly logging me off when it is under load. Like running Lightroom, Safari stuff like that.
It also happens, when the MBP is running for a couple of hours and I play a video in VLC or Safari and maximize it.
The display turns all of the sudden blue (the blue you see, when you start your Mac), logs me off and instantly on.
All Programs are closed, no work is secured.
It's like his problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgCccEXLsrE
But mine occurs more randomly
In another forum someone said that the WindowServer could be the problem. But I can't find any solution.
Reinstalling the system did not change anything
Another symptom was also a flickering display (both, the external and the build in) and a total freeze.
I don't think that it runs to hot because the MacBook is on a stand and it has also happened in winter.
The Logic board has been exchanged twice because of the Nvidea GPU failure.
Please Help!Yep! It's' a known problem I'm afraid, very common indeed with that card. Nothing that can be done AFAIK.
I would be getting my soldering iron out if I were you -
Macbook pro constantly logs me out
Why does my MacBook pro retina Lion constantly log me out closing all my apps without warning? I have all powersave features turned off and I'm plugged into the wall. All I see the console monitor are these two problems.

where XXXXX is my old login name from my old macbook pro that I migrated to the new machine and for some reason the new machine has my middle initial in it
In a potentially unrelated matter I will also get much less frequent crashes where the laptop shuts completely off - and there are panics in the console log
Any help would be appreciatedPost the most recent panic report.

My MacBook Pro instantly logs me out after logging in
Every time I log on to my Mac Book Pro 10.6.8 the desktop loads and then instantly logs me out and returns to the log in screen. I am able to log on in safe mode, but can't figure out what's wrong.
I've reset the PRAM and SMC, repaired all permissions on the Disk Utility, booted it in single user mode to check the /sbin/fsck -fy and the /sbin/mount - uw / rm /var /audit/current commands, but nothing has changed.
The day before this happened my Mac suddenly started to only type in caps and load in safe mode, I figured it must be a stuck Shift key, so cleaned it, but when that didn't work I downloaded KeyRemap4MacBook. I then used this to disable the left and right Shift key. For a while after it appeared that only some of the keyboard reverted back to normal and the rest remained in Shift mode, but then the next day the keyboard completely returned to normal. That is when the log in issues began. The Shift keys also still appear to function, which I didn't expect after disabling them.
I am not techno savvy, so any advice would be much appreciated.

My 2010 Macbook Pro keeps crashing- Cant diagnose if its Hardware or software
Hello,
This is my first post in the community. I apologize if this is a repeat question but I have looked through other threads and could not find a solution.
My mid 2010 Macbook Pro 4GB Ram 120 GB SSD i5 keeps crashing for no reason. It crashes at completely different times and is not consistent. Sometimes if i am opening a new tab or multitasking, even if i am typing a document or copying and pasting text the mac would just randomly crash.
At first I assumed it was a software problem so I deleted all files on the mac and installed the new OS yet the problem still continued. I have realized that if I do less tasks at a time it crashed less frequently but this is a mac and Im sure it is not normal if I can't do research and write a paper at the same time.
Below is the report of one of the crashes. It would be great if someone could tell me if this is a software or hardware issue as I don't have warranty anymore and may need to purchase a new computer because I can't count the amount of times it has crashed while I was doing an assignment.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanceYou have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to work around the problem by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version. -
I upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro. When I close Address Book it automatically quits. When I close other applications they stay open on my task bar. How can I get Address Book to stay open on my task bar?
Hello charlgilbert,
It sounds like you would like to send a text from your phone number on your portable computer. You can do this by setting iMessage to start new conversations from your phone number in the Messages settings:
On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts.
From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

I have a new l7 Macbook Pro running snow leopard. When I tried to to install windows 7 32 bit on bootcamp, I kept getting a flicking black and blue screen when it tried to install. (Tried several times). I finally downloaded the bootcamp windows support to a flash. I inserted that and finally got it installed. Now when I try to boot into windows I get either a solid black (sometimes blue) or flickering screen and windows will not start up. If I then physically shut down the mac and restart, it will finally boot into windows where it tells me that windows was shut down unexpectently and once I click start windows normally, it will boot up. That will generally let me boot into windows for the remaining of the day. The next day, the same thing happens again. I have tried reinstalling several times, and the same thing keeps happening. It is not my windows disk because it installs flawlessly on the mid 2008 macbook pro. Anyone know how to fix this?
I own HDM 2011. But they have products that aren't listed or hard to find too.

My MacBook Pro X.6.8 NO DISPLAY after restarted during software update.
My MacBook Pro X.6.8 after I did software update for 2 files, then restart/rebooted and when it resume back NO DISPLAY, totally black screen. I believed It's working in the background coz when I pressed buttons it makes sounds, so that's good but how can I see and bring back the display? I didnt so anything special. Prior to software update I did update my Adobe Flash for the latest version..
Please help anyone, I need my MacBook Pro to resume back to normal, I have many pending job to finish.. I hope the problem is only the display screen and not worst, coz I can't see and verify.
Thanks.Oh No, still the same.. I follow exactly what you said, still no display.
I hear rebooting sound, like its normal, just missing my screen.
How come this happen, it works perfectly fine, I just want to update coz I had a message prior, so I did, but I just check first what are those needed to update. I saw Itunes v.11 and security patch update, something like that..
Then when it rebooted no more display. -
My Macbook pro is refusing to install any of the recent software updates. Any suggestions?
I have been trying to install the latest software updates that show up when I search for available updates. There are 5 including Safari, iTunes, iWork and iPhoto. I have plenty of memory available. After the software update downloads, it shows an error message that says it was unable to install the update, but gives no codes or further information. I have powered down / powered up, tried on different internet connections. I'm out of ideas. Any help is much apprectiated!
Since you are running Lion, I would suggest that you reboot while simultaneously holding down the Command - R keys, to boot into the Lion Recovery Partition. There you can go into its Disk Utilities, highlight your "McIntosh HD" in the left hand column to select it and then run "Repair Disk". Then run its "Repair Permissions" twice. That may resolve the problem. If not, then from the Lion Recovery Partition I would recommend doing a reinstall of Lion over your current version to further up any other code errors on your drive.
