MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 15 inch 2.16
Resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU) is known to resolve certain anomalies and may well help with your symptom. In any event, it’s worth shot.
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
Press the Power button to restart the computer.
Regards,

Safe Boot disables several things, and you can look at the list and see if you can find the culprit. As Linc says, if you still have a problem, post a new topic so that it will get the attention it deserves. -
When I turn on my Macbook Pro and sign in, the screen is blank, none of the icons appear, I can't click, open or do anything! Help!
You could try this; Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode.It takes awhile to come up so patience is a virtue here.
And here is What is Safe Mode.

When I turn on my Macbook pro retina display, a black screen show up while I hear the normal start up sound. I noticed that the machine gets very hot, any clue how to make it work?
If the Mac is too hot to touch, take it in for service.

When i turn on my macbook pro why does a bunch of things pop up
when i turn on my macbook pro why does a bunch of things pop up
It's the Resume feature of Lion:
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner. -
When I turn on my MacBook Pro and when I am at the login screen, the background is white rather than steel gray. What is wrong and how can I fix it?
It turns out that iCloud caused this issue. When I turned iCloud off my login screen was completely normal.

How can I shut off the automatic login when I turn on my MacBook Pro?
Ever since I updated to Yosemite I have been forced to enter my password whenever I turn on my MacBook Pro. I went to System Preferences/Users & Groups and see that the automatic login option is set to off, but it is shaded and I can't use the dropdown menu, even though I've unlocked it.
Is this a common issue? Am I just going to have to get used to signing in every time? I'm the only one who uses it, and it's a little annoying.
I've tried searching for help in the discussions and also on google, but I'm not finding any answers.
Help, please!Did you turn on FileVault when you upgraded to Yosemite? If it is on then a login password is required (sort of obviously). You can tell whether it is on by going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy and click FileVault at the top and see if the words "Turn off FileVault" are in the button. I'm the only one who uses my Mac also, but the remote possibility of it being stolen makes it worth it to me to have FileVault turned on and a password required.

I'm new in the Mac World. In November I bought a MacBook Pro. I love my MacBook, however, a couple of days ago when I turn on my MacBook and log in, a window or box prompts up for about one second and then dissapears. I'm afraid that may be a virus or trojan that may be running behind the screen. How do I fix this? Are there any applications that I can run to detect what is happening to my computer.
Thank you for your help!!!It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
"Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
Thank you!!! -
How do I stop Photoshop from launching when I turn on my MacBook Pro?
I subscribe to Adobe CC. Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, Photoshop CC launches. I want this to stop. When I right click on the Photoshop app > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items > Photoshop is not there. What can I do? I am sure it is a simple fix. Thanks!
As I mentioned when I right click on the Photoshop app in the dock > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items > Photoshop is not there in the list. I do not have any utilities installed that automatically launch applications and I do not mess with scripts or even know how to.
I tried calling Adobe's poor outsourced customer service and was told there was a 2-5 minute wait, but after waiting 22 minutes, I had to hang up. -
Ok earlier today I was at work on break and I usually use this time to check emails,iChat messages ,etc. when I tried to turn my MacBook Pro I hear the sound as if it' is gonna turn on....but my screen is still black mind you the battery is fully charged.....why is that and what can I do to fix this problem......I LOVE MY MACBOOK PRO and I'm upset because of the issue. Can someone please help me ? I'm suffering from MacBook Pro withdrawal :(
If you've activated FileVault, only the users that were authorized to unlock the startup volume will appear in the pre-startup authentication dialog. Once the system has started up, all users will appear in the login dialog.
To authorize more users after the volume has been encrypted, select the FileVault tab in the Security & Privacy preference pane. Click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click Enable Users...
You should only enable users whom you trust implicitly with all data on the system, not just their own data. -
Suddenly, my macbook pro has experienced problems. When I turn on my computer, the white screen displays a flashing file folder icon with a quesrion mark in the middle. Has my hard drive burnt out? Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions..
It means your computer is search for a start up volume. You need to reboot into recovery mode and attempt to repair your disk. To do this restart the computer and hold the keys:
<command> + r
Then open Disk utility.
