When I turn on a video the screen on my MacBook Pro freezes.  I've been through Apple Care and they couldn't fix the computer.  I think the fan and the graphics are the problems.  I can restart after two attempts.  Sometimes I use SAFEBOOT

Please advise the model MBP you have and the OSX you have installed.
Also try a SMC reset:

  • I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live were we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need.

    I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live where we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need. In addition, when I connect the phone to the connecter it falls out, it will not click in.

    Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

  • I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15".

    I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15". It doesn't resemble dead pixels I've encountered in the past (it is only visible behind a white or brightly colored background), and I'm positive it isn't sitting on the surface. The computer is only a year and a half old and my software is up to date.

    Hi austinbread,
    It is hard to tell exactly what your issue with the MacBook Pro’s display is, but it is possible that there is a pixel anomaly. See this article for further information -

  • A bug is stuck, and dead, in the screen of my MacBook Pro.

    A bug crawled up under the screen of my MacBook Pro and has died there. Is there any way I can get it out? Or should I just keep looking around it?A

    Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. 

  • The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and has a brightness flicker every few seconds since june 2013 upgrade of airport utility.

    The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and a flicker every few seconds this happened after  this weeks Airport Utility 6.3 upgrade.

    Hi John,
    I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.

  • Is it possible to mirror the screen on my iPhone 5s via apple tv onto the screen of my macbook pro

    Is it possible to mirror what is playing on the screen of my iPhone 5s via Apple TV to the screen of my Macbook Pro?

    if it is running OS X Yosemite
    Step 1
    Connect your iPhone directly to your Mac using your Lightning to USB cable.
    Step 2
    Open QuickTime Player and choose File > New Movie Recording
    Step 3
    Select your iPhone as the Camera using the dropdown menu to the right of the record button
    Now your phone should be mirrored onto your Mac.
    You do not need to use the Apple TV

  • How do I stop the indexing on my MacBook Pro? It's been indexing for 2 days.

    How do I stop the indexing on my MacBook Pro? It's been indexing for 2 days.

    Step 1
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -F '$Time $Message' -k Sender mdworker -o -k Message Rne Norm -k Sender mds | tail | pbcopy
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message. 
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.
    Step 2
    Enter the following command as in Step 1 and post the output:
    mdutil -as 2>&- | pbcopy
    You can then quit Terminal.
    Step 3
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Terminal. In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash reports related to Spotlight. If you don't see that heading, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. A Spotlight crash report has a name beginning in "mds" or "mdworker" and ending in ".crash". Select the most recent such report, if any, from the System and User subcategories and post the entire contents—the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as hang logs—they're very long and not helpful.

  • Why did the screen on my MacBook Pro turn black and ask me to hold down the power button to restart and then when I restarted it. ALL the work i had done was gone???

    How do I get back what I lost. When I was forced to shut down my computer?

    None of us knows why your screen turned black - it's the most serious form of crash, and yes, almost all the changes that you didn't save are lost.
    An exception are the audio recordings - they should still sit in the project package of your song. Locate the project in the Finder, ctrl-click it and select "Show package content". The Media folder will contain all your recordings.

  • HT1338 The screen on my MacBook Pro keeps going black.  This is happening more frequently.  I have had it in to the Apple store multiple times and they can't find a problem.

    My MacBook Pro screen keeps going black.  This is happening more frequently.  I have had it in to the Apple store several times for this and they can't find anything wrong other than it is locked up for a while.  Since it is happening more and more, I am worried that at some point this will be permanent.

    Has it actually happened at the store?
    If not then we need to get it to do that. Now it may be completely random but you need to try and make a note of as many things as possible that happen when it does it.
    How long has it been on for, what are you doing at the time, what's connected. If it's reproducible then you've at least got somewhere.

    Jean-pierre

    Sorry, I am sending now the image again:
    Anyway, my screen is getting back to normal now (it is just light blue) but I am curious to understand why it happens (just after 2 months it happened again).
    In the country where I am right now we don't have an Apple Store, so any recommendation how I can find out if the problem is the screen or graphic card/sub-system?
    Thank you so much

  • Hi, a week ago the option of update came on the screen of my macbook pro, it then offered to restart and will not boot up. The fan is running but no screen. Please help as I have tried everything.

    Hi, a week ago my macbook pro wanted to do an update, so I clicked yes, it went on to do the normal and then offered to restart, since then I have not be able to restart. I have tried almost everything. When I turn on the power button, all you can hear are the fans and nothing else. Its not very old, does anyone know what I can do as I dont seem to be able to get any support from apple.

    By everything, I am assuming you have tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) and PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379). If you haven't tried this yet, please do!
    See the following support document as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367.
    The update you're talking about was the firmware update. Hopefully resetting the PRAM gets you up and running. Try resetting it 3 times in a row (hold the keys down until you hear 3 startup chimes).

    My computer screens fails to come on at start up. It just stays black and blank. I have tried a couple of reboot sessions but all to no avail. Can anyone out there help me please.

    The only people that can help you are those at an Apple store.
    Your Mac is broken and needs to be repaired. That is IF you get absolutely nothing on the screen after pressing the powwr button.

  • Can't use the two finger span to enlarge the images on the screen on my macbook pro

    the macbook preo allows you to enlarge what is on the screen by spreading two fingers away from each other on the touch pad. The new ,ozilla firfox does not allow this to happen! When I could use it and enlarge type or a page to see better.
