What's happening to my MacBook?!?!?!

My MacBook recently starting acting funny.
Two days ago, I'm using it and it just completely shut off. I pressed the power button to turn it on again, I heard the startup chime, then I heard a "click" and it shut off again (no it wasn't the CD drive). This happened like 10 times but started up fine when I plugged it back into the power adapter.
Today, I turned it on and took like 7 minutes for it to boot. Then it showed "Safe Boot" at the login screen. I never pressed anything while booting so how did it boot to "Safe Boot?" So I logged in and I noticed the following:
1) AirPort is gone... It doesn't show in the menu bar or in the Network option in System Preferences.
2) No sound! The volume adjuster in the menu bar is gone AND the volume buttons on the keyboad do not work. I went to the Sound tab in System Preferences and it says "No Output Devices Found" and "No Input Devices Found."
3) The backlight buttons do not work either. If I press it, it just show that it is on the lowest setting and won't move.
Also, My MacBook shut off by itself once today.
I took screenshots but I don't know how to add them to this message so if someone tells me how, I can add screenshots of what is happening.
Anyways, someone please help me with these issues! I have invested a lot in my MacBook and I don't want it to have tons of problems like my iBook did.

Could be your safe mode prevent your device to run, since it boot using the very minimum driver to eliminate and provide more conflict.
From what I read you have an inconsistent battery, and it just shut you off and won't turn back on since it doesn't have anymore juice in it.
Try to calibrate your battery, reset the NV-RAM, and also the PMU.

Also try to repair permission using your installer disk and repair both disk and permission.
Hope this simple task will eliminate your problem.
Good Luck

  • What's happening if my Macbook Air beeps about once every minute?

    I just upgraded my Macbook Air to OSX 10.8.1 the other day. Besides that, I diddn't install any new applications. Today, my macbook beeps about once every minute even when I muted it. What is going on?

    ok, it turns out that this is just a mistake. the beeping noise doesn't actually come from my laptop... sorry about this. Please disregard the question. I love my mac, and Apple is amazing.

  • What is happening to my Macbook?

    I bought a used Macbook Pro Early 2008 from eBay 1 year ago. It has gone through a lot. I upgraded from Mac OS 10.7 to 10.8 then acidently downgraded to 10.5 then back up to 10.6 to 10.7 and back to 10.8. Then the fan on the right side of the computer started making a crazy buzzing noise. So I bought a used fan on eBay. I also bought a replacement batery on eBay too. The replacement fan seems to make a semi-loud noise not like the loud buzzing noise. The replacement battery cannot take a charge. Also, my Macbook will go black and shut down despite being pluged in and having a 100% charge on the old battery. So my questions are: Why is my computer going black out of nowhere?, Why is my fan making a louder noise than usual?, Should I continue buying replacement parts on eBay, and Should I get a new Macbook despite owning my for one year? Thank you and sorry for my long problem.

    Partly irrational about the hacking. Although that doesn't mean your GMail account can't be or isn't now hacked but for it to carry over to your phone or computer is impossible unless you did something, you took some action, that allowed it to happen.
    As to the Login screen just showing up that is not normal. Not unless for some reason your system Re-Booted itself because of some problem. Or you made some change to your system to call for the Login screen after it goes to sleep and then you wake it up.

    I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke  to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???

    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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    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.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • What will happen if I install Lion on my macbook pro core duo??

    What will happen if I install Lion on my macbook pro core duo? I have one of the first Intel MacBook Pro's with a Core Duo processer, I'm having hard drive problems so want to format it and re-install my OS. I can't find my Snow Leopard disk so the easiest thing to do would be to download Lion but I have been told that my MacBook needs to have a Core 2 Duo processer so I just wondered if anyone else has tried Lion on a MacBook like mine??

    Nothing.
    Lion will not run on a core duo, it needs a core 2 duo as a minimum
    see Technical Specifications
    Also you will need SL running to access the App Store to download Lion. So In a number of ways this won;t work.

  • Transferred backed-up data from external hard disk to new hard drive on my MacBook Pro which seemed to be successful. I now find that some (or maybe all) old emails have been resent. Can anyone tell me what has happened?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • What will happen if i reformat my macbook ?

    I want to know what will happen if i reformat my macbook pro , is it complicating ? to do it

    The lagging..freezing..and so on could be caused my a number of problems. Search these forums using keywords to find recommended fixes.
    Reinstalling (reformatting) a Mac is almost never required. That approach is a Windows technique.

    Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
    Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
    I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
    Still very confusing.  :-?
    Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
    BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

  • My macbook pro has service battery, what could happen if i upgrade the ram to 8gb

    My macbook pro has service battery, what could happen if i upgrade the ram to 8gb

    "Service Battery" means just that - you need to make an appointment with your local Apple Store or AASP and have the battery checked out and, likely, replaced.
    If you upgrade to 8GB it will have no effect on the battery. 8GB is sort of the minimum that I would shoot for.
