When I move my macbook pro, the screen start flicking

I bought my mac 7 months ago, and it works fine until now. When I move my mac the screen start flicking and then it freeze, I have to restart it. I believe it's a hardware damage what do you guys think? 

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's a hardware problem, probably related to the display connector.
As your Mac is still in warranty, make a backup of your data onto an external drive with Time Machine and take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller. Your computer will be repaired for free.

  • When i open my macbook pro- the screen lights up and then goes black-

    When I open my Macbook pro- the screen lights up and then goes black- keybook stays backlite- can not get screen to come back on. Must reboot-
    thoughts-?? Macbook is 6 months old and on second hard drive ( failure after 45 days).

    Hey! exact same thing happens to me... I use the keyboard shortcut to turn off the screen which is ctrl - shift - eject button. Then just poke a key and it wakes up again fine, it doesn't fix the problem but at elast you don't have to reboot. x

  • When starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, then to color to color, any suggestion to fixing this problem?

    When i am starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, and then to color to color, and the whole process repeat all over again, is there any suggestion in solving this, or is there no way to solve this and i need to bring it to the apple support?

    Macbook pro Version 2011

    Sounds as if you're having a problem with your GPU (graphics card). Only Apple can diagnose and fix this, so the best thing would be to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP.

    Do just that. Connect it iTunes and restore it as it appears there is a software issue with the device.

  • Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

    When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple  to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

    There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

  • Sound not working when watching movies from MacBook Pro 15'' in full screen

    after a recent iTunes upgrade the sound will not work when I watch a movie or anything else in iTunes on my Thunderbold Display. I have the 15'' retina MacBook Pro connected to the display and it used to work flawlesly. has anyone had the same problem?

    When I upgraded the volume control in iTunes (at the top) defaulted to off (all the way left) so no sound.  I just slid the slider all the way to the right.  Also be sure display audio is set in the preferences, sound menu

  • I tried to update my macbook pro, the screen is now frozen. My track pad hasn't been working for awhile and my disc drive is broken. IS there anything that can be done without buying a new laptop. It was bought in 2009

    My track pad has not been working properly for awhile and my disc drive it damaged. I went to update my macbook pro to maveric and it is now frozen and not allowing me to click anything. Is there anything that can be done to fix this without buying a new one? Its from early 2009

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

  • When i open my macbook pro the wifi connect but says no internet connection

    Every time i close my Macbook Pro (early 2011 model running OSX Lion) then open it back up the wifi will connect to the right network but says i have no internet connection this lasts for about 5-10 minutes then the internet will finally work. i know it's not the router cause im connected on my phone and on other computers and they work just fine. is this something internal or something with the software?

  • When I try to start my MacBook Pro, the screen stays blank - I hear the startup "chime" but nothing else happens.

    It's actually my teenage daughter's MacBook, and she's driving me crazy wanting me to fix it... any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Airport Extreme disconnects when I unplug my Macbook Pro

    I just got a new Airport Extreme and set it up in "BRIDGE" mode in order to be able to extend my WiFi from my basement office to the ground and upper floors.  Working fine BUT -- when I unplug my MacBook Pro the Airport Utility shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it and it says the network is disconnected!  But I need to be able to disconnect my MBP and still have my other computers (one also ethernet connected; others and iPad WiFi)-- even when the MacBook Pro is disconnected.
    I like having the bridge mode because I can use Printopia from ecamm to print to pdf wirelessly to my MBP even when the MBP is only connected via ethernet - not via wifi (that should work too)-- but is it the fact that I am in BRIDGE mode that is causing this warning in Airport Utility?
    Any comments appreciated and I can work on this more later.
    THANKS!

    I believe I understand this better now. When I unplug my MacBook Pro from the network including disabling Wi-Fi, then when I open AirPort Utility it of course shows and I am no longer connected to my home network on the MBP. All the other hardwired or Wi-Fi connected computers, printers, hard drives and iPads are still connected.

  • After update to MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 screen start flicking

    I've just updated my macbook pro 15" retina with Macbook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 from App store (just this update).
    After that, every time it goes on the screen saver or if I close it, I can't get it back on, the screen starts flicking black.
    There is no away I can enter the password, even the keyboard is flicking.
    I have to force the macbook pro power off and on in order to use it.
    The update is this http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1609
    How can I solve this?

    Unfortuantely, right now there appears to be no solution except for restoring from a backup before Update 2.0.
    Update 2.0 is a mess - you are lucky if that is the only thing it affects.  See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20272989#20272989

  • HT1338 When I connect my Macbook Pro to my Dell DLP projector, either via cable or wirelessly, I just see a dark screen with the mouse and mouse trails only, can any one help?

    When I connect my Macbook Pro to my Dell DLP projector, either via cable or wirelessly, I just see a dark screen with the mouse and mouse trails only, can any one help?

    jpmarkques post is a good start point, after folling his directions, you can try detect displays. Also try different rsolution and refresh rates.
    Most of the projectors I have used support a 1024X768 res.
    Youcan also try a pram reset if it still does not detect.
    Leave theproctor connected and powered up, power down the MBP.
    Power back up the MBP and hold the following keys before you hear the start up chime:
    Option, command, P,R (no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times.

  • Hi, when powering up my macbook pro, when the apple symbol appears the screen flashes pink, can anyone advise whats up?

    Hi, when powering up my macbook pro, when the apple symbol appears the screen flashes pink, can anyone advise whats up?

    You can try a system reinstall:
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • My MacBook Pro will not start. When I started it goes to a gray screen with the Apple logo and has the spinning dial. When I started in safe mode it will not start. In safe mode it as an error message that says MacBook Launch_msg():Socket is not connected

    If running 10.7 or later hold down Command-R at Startup.
    This should invoke recovery Mode.
    Choose Disk Utility.
    Select your Hard drive. Inspect the SMART Status in the lower right of the window for "Verified".
    Select the Mac OS X Volume (originally Macintosh HD) click (Repair Disk)
    If errors, run again until it comes clean or gets stuck.
    Report any error messages.

  • Hi I've just download os x mavericks 10.9 on my macbook pro the trouble is when i am on the internet my screen goes of it keeps saying put in your password how can i stop this every time the screen goes to sleep

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.
