My macbook pro's screen is a pixelated green and purple. How do I fix this?
It's very annoying and my computer is very new. I know I haven't intentionaly damaged it.
Woke up this morning and this three green "dashes" and three amber "dots" is what my airport express 2nd gen is doing. Wasn't broadcasting wifi.
So far hooked up over ethernet to my laptop and it passes through internet from the modem.
Tried:
Soft reset
Hard reset
Factory Default reset
All of it goes back to the 3 green dashes and 3 amber (yellow) dots. I unlike the original poster didn't apply power to the analog jack.
I will try multiple Factory Default resets and see if this helps.
Also used airport utility 5.6.1 for Windows 7 before the hard/factory resets and it wouldn't accept my well documented router password. Factory reset and now it won't connect.
Get:
An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again.
Error -6742
Only option is "ok" and this happens no mater what you click on for the Airport Express. Funny thing is I bought this one year and three weeks ago. Ha.
Going to try some more hard resets to see if that works. Tried to be detailed and write the text in different ways since I was unable to find this search first even though this is my exact problem I'll try and check back later.

My macbook pro 2010 crashes when I open the lid. How do i fix this?
So if I close the lid of my macbook pro and come back to after a while the screen will show but after a few seconds the screen goes black and doesn't entirely shut down as the keyboard is still lit up. This is when it occurs most often but it can also happen randomly.
What specific model MBP do you have and have you made any hardware changes to it? Also, has this always happened with this laptop since you got it? If not, how long has this been going on and do you remember makeing any software/hardware changes to it right before this started to happen?

Macbook pro system running slow - etrecheck shows issues - any idea how to apply fixes?
Hi I normally consider myself pretty web savvy but I'm totally lost on what to do here. This computer has been running slow since I got it, but the harddrive went sideways recently. I've never worked with a recovered drive - which I apparently have as my terminal lists my workfolder-2 so....I'm guessing I'm pretty screwed. I learned about etrecheck through the forums here but don't understand how to apply it
Would anyone help me understand what I need to do?
Here's my etrecheck:
Problem description:
very slow osx system even with only one or two apps open - standard 2013 macbook pro

Adding some RAM would help. Even though you haven't restarted for 4+ days, this is a little high. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

Why my macbook pro's screen always looks like freezing and slow?
I think it's because of one of my app. It may cause the trouble. I just went to ask genius bar for help today and they reset my system. It was fine after that but since I restore the backup, the stupid problem came again and it's driving me crazy. All the hardware should be great and the software is the latest. Somebody help me please. I just had it for no more than half year.
