My new Macbook Pro is cutting off suddenly and I do not know why

I recently got my Macbook Pro for Christmas and recently it has been cutting off suddenly. I do not know why,

If you look at System Preferences, Hardware, Energy Saver do you have the sleep set very low? Try moving the sleep setting out to a longer time and see if that helps.

Should I return my new MacBook Pro? Creative Suite CS and CS2 do not work?

I am soooooooooooooooo ******!!!!!!!!
I just purched the top of the line MacBook Pro and learned that the Adobe Creative Suite products do not work on this machine. I contacted Adobe and they said they will not have an update until they release the next version, which won't release until (at the earlies) the end of this year. While Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign are not crucial aps for me, I do use them for business regularly.
With this being the case, I ask the mac community using these machines, should I return the computer, buy a g4pb (my TI just literally fell apart) ? Reading the board hear and various news articles, there seems to be a few issues (whine - apps - etc).
I guess I should have looked into this more before purchasing, but I trusted Apple to release products that are ready for users.
This is the most expensive computer I have ever puchased and I need it to do everything my TI PB did.
Is the MacBook Pro worth the early adopter hastle?

According to Adobe:
Creative Suite 2 will work on Rosetta with the exception of one componet. Version Cue Workspace (Server) does not work under Rosetta. As of Jan 31 2006 this was the only known issue with using the suite on Intel Mac's.
Adobe Systems
Creative Suite: Yes (with performance losses)
Photoshop Elements: Yes
(Adobe has posted "FAQ: Adobe Support for Intel-based Mac Computers" [intelmacsupport.pdf]
http://www.adobe.com/products/pdfs/intelmacsupport.pdf , which discusses Intel support, development, Rosetta compatibility, rough schedules, and more for Mac applications from Adobe and Macromedia.)
I would recommend that if you are going to use this program that you have 2 GB's of RAM seeing as I hear that Rosetta can be a RAM hog. Hope this helps you out.

Hi...
Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.
he cant use his key board
You'll need to use a wired (USB) keyboard.

Yes, but the part cut off the bottom of the first page should appear at the top of the second. No content should be lost, just split between pages.
Safari makes little or no attempt to keep a line of print or a picture from splitting across pages, seemingly just imaging the web page as one large image and printing so many inches or millimeters of the image per page.

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing. There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture. This worked fine on OS10.7.5. Problem??

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Hi, I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro. Whenever I try and buy anything on the internet (via Safari) on any website it will not allow me to add products to checkout. Has anyone else experienced this problem or can suggest a fix? Many thanks!

Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.

I just synced my old iPad to my new iPad....the apps show "waiting" and I do not know why. It has been 2 days. I wiped my old iPad even?

Connect to iTune; and Check for available download (under Store). When download is completed, sync to iPad.

New Macbook Pro, Final Cut Freezing

I have a fast new macbook pro, and when i press play on my timeline in fc, i get the rainbow ball. If i wait a while it unfreezes but it's unbearable. My last slower macbook pro didn't have this problem. What do I do?

Try moving things off the internal drive to FW. When you say you got a new MacBook Pro, I assume you mean NEW new without Card slot, if you got a new older refreshed model that has a slot, get a express card to hook up eSata drives. Even if you get past the stalls now, it wil mmake you happier later.
