When I open my Macbook Pro it shows past date

Hi -
Sometimes (pretty consistently lately) when I open my Macbook Pro it shows the screen that was there when I closed it, but everything is greyed. There is a line at the bottom that is moving across and when it finishes the color goes back to normal. But even then, the time is from when I closed it, and the computer is unresponsive. It will sometimes sit in this state for a couple of minutes or longer.
This is a six month old Macbook Pro and this happens pretty regularly, and has off and on since I first got it.
Is this just no more than annoying? I've been using Apple laptops since 2005 and never had this happen until this machine (which is my third personal one - I support two others). Any ideas on cause?
Thanks
Craig

Some users have reported solving this problem by resetting the NVRAM (PRAM.)
If you've installed something called "iCleanMemory," or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "free up" memory, remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Reboot and test. If there's no change, continue.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Hi I do not want iTunes to open up automatically when I turn on my macbook pro. I tried going to System Preferences Users and Groups Login Items and then I took iTunes off the list but it still opens up automatically when I turn on my laptop.

Hi r,
Make sure you close iTunes before shutdown. And you're quite welcome.

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.

At the Apple WWDC 2012 when they announced the new MacBook Pro, the used something to rotate it. What was it?

Hello Sam,
strangely enough, it went away by itself, and until now, it did not come back. I also believe it must be soms sort of graphic card connection failure or something like that, it`s very strange though. I also did let it know to the apple store, and explained it, and they were willing to repair it, but now everything is ok, so it has no meaning to go to the apple store, maybe for a checkup, that would be interesting maybe.
So, I would suggest to keep on using your computer for a couple of days, and shut it down and restart it as often as possible. And when it has not dissapeared after 3 or 4 days, then it`s good I think to go to the apple store.
If you can post here how it goes or how it went, would be nice, and if there is anything more I can help you with, let me know, kindly, Steven

My friend was Bootcamping his Macbook Pro halfway when he cancelled it and it refused to boot afterwards.

My friend was Bootcamping his Macbook Pro halfway when he cancelled it due to it running slowly, the Bootcamp Assistant cancelled but the Macbook froze after that and he had to force quit the application. When he restarted the Macbook, it showed the typical white screen and then it switched to a black screen with a underscore at the top left corner. From my experience, it is booting into Windows when it showed the black screen with the underscore and now its kinda stuck and unable to boot into Mac Os X Lion nor Windows 7. Any help for this? And this is a school Macbook with some Master Admin password so it may not be able to enter BIOS but perhaps we can select the boot device. He is screwed if it cannot be fixed :/ Thanks to all who help!

a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

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 I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass. What can I do to prevent the condensation?

This thread and all the followups are hilarious, if it weren't such a serious problem. OP, you may want to add a bit more information on how this drippy screen problem occurs: where do you live, what are the weather conditions, what are you doing with the Mac when it occurs, etc.
Yes, extreme moisture, to the extent of causing visible condensation, is Very Bad News for any electronic device, and more so with one that isn't tropicalized like the Mac. Besides trying to avoid subjecting it to such extreme temperature changes, using some kind of desiccant to absorb close range moisture and avoidint its use until it dried out, I can suggest placing some kind of absorbent material between the display and the keyboard to prevent the moisture on the glass from finding its way into the computer. Like the protective poliethylene foam protector that came with the Mac when new. Or something like RadTech's ScreenSavrz: http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreenSavrz.aspx

Can i update my "open box" macbook pro to osx mountain lion for free?

Hi, i had recently bought an "open box" macbook pro 13 in. I bought it in the time that apple has said a mac would need to be bought to qualify for a free update. Nut according to apple, my mac was bought in December of last year. Is there any way i could possibly get this download? Becuase i just bought it and i really dont know what to do. I dont think i should have to spen the fifteen dollars it is when i technically qualify for the free update. elp would be greatlly appretiated, Thanks.

Where did you buy this "open box" MacBook Pro?
Here are the specifics on the upgrade program:

Multiple desktops open on Macbook Pro

This issue is more of a nuisance, but over the last couple of weeks when I login to my Macbook Pro I get 7 desktop windows that I can scroll or page between (control + right arrow). All of my programs open up in the first window - the other 6 are just a blank desktop with my desktop icons.
I can live with this, but what I don't know is whether or not all of these blank desktops are impacting performance or battery life on my Macbook. Has anyone else run into this and is there a way to get rid of the extra desktops? Or is this just normal behavior that previously I hadn't noticed?
