Why Does Mac Book Pro fail to shut down?
I hope I am placing this in the correct place, as I have had enough difficulty finding where to "Post a Topic" Bought a new MacBook Pro with Leopard on 1/4/08. It fails to shut down, all I get is the spinning wheel (for want of a better word) until I am forced to press the shut off button. To date, In-store tech support has archived and re-installed, re-set the PRAM, and I don't know what's left! It seems that every time I do "something" i.e., backup, download photos, etc., even when I carefully close out the applications, and wait, the machine fails to shut down.
Does anyone out there have a solution to this problem? Is Apple working on this or are they taking the "it's you" attitude? Please advise and many thanks.

The "Genius Bar" at the Apple Store turned off the "Sync" to the iDisk. This has seemed to resolve the issue, however, MacBook Pro is not problem-free. Let me know if we "share" any other issues. Recently attempted to use Adobe Photoelements, by the way, after being told it was compatible with Leopard, IT IS NOT. So now I am going to try Aperture. Just thought I'd throw that in as "one of the other" issues! Thanks for responding to me!

Mac book pro trys to shut down while downloading?
my mac book pro trys to shut down while im downloading for some reason..
Hi Monroeeugene,
I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.
Mac Basics: Set your preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
Change your Mac's sleep settings
To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
Open System Preferences
Choose View > Energy Saver.
Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
Hope this helps ...

Mac book pro, overheats and shuts down as 2 hours the use
mac book pro, overheats and shuts down as 2 hours the use
Hi, I am facing the same issue.
Did you able to solve your issue? Please advise. -
Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour of use and then is very difficult to reboot. Sometimes I have to wait hours, sometimes I have to repeatedly press the power button and then it will slowly start a little longer each press untill it completely boots. It has done this three times know. Each time I was watching a video.
Try running the Apple Hardware Test - sounds as if you've hardware issues.

My Mac Book Pro 13 inch shuts down when I insert some usb on port. It will be dead for few days (no power, can't charge as well, no restarting) and after few days it will work? Any one facing same issue and any solutions please...
Hi ohmghimire,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're seeing unexpected behavior when using USB devices, try resetting the SMC on your MacBook Pro:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the article with these steps here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If you still see this behavior after resetting the SMC, or your computer won't turn on, try the steps in this article next:

Mac book pro rebooting then shutting down
Everytime I turn my MAC book pro 13 inch laptop on, it takes me to the white screen with the grey apple logo and then starts to reboot. I'm not entirely sure of it's rebooting but something is loading and the background colour is white if that helps.
Once it's about a quarter of the way through loading it starts showing a loading sign and the bar that's only a quarter of the way filled disappears. Then the screen turns black and it shuts down. Every time I turn my laptop on this happens. Please help.Megan.west,
if you have Mac OS X 10.7 or newer installed, you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, select the First Aid tab if it’s not already selected, then press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the white screen and progress bar now? -
Why does my WD2GO Pro app keep shutting down when I'm trying to access a file?
Ive invested in a WD My Book Live 2TB network hard drive and the associated WD2GO Pro app for the ipad.
This is great for tiny files (1-2mb) but anything over 20mb make the app shut down.
Why is the ipad shutting down? Cant it show a PDF over a certain size?
I know I can open it in other programmes (PDF by corporate smalltalk) but WD2GO provides the facility to create a URL link to the hard drive, thus allowing me to email this link to clients / printers etc.
The silly thing is that if Im really quick I can send the link but if Im longer than about 4 seconds the app shuts down.
Frustrating isnt the word!
Hope someone somewhere out there has an idea. Just please dont say that the new Ipad solves this problem as Ill be (forced) into upgrading lol
JOpen a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder then the com.apple.safari folder. Move the Cache.db file (might say ApplicationCache.db) to the Trash.
Try Safari. If it crashes again, follow the instructions for uninstalling then reinstalling Flash > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Restart your Mac Try Safari. -
Why does my Premier Pro CC immediately shut down even after reinstalling?
When I open Premier Pro CC it immediately shuts down as soon as I try to map to any file in media browser. I uninstalled, then reinstalled - it is still doing this. Can anyone offer possible solutions?
Hi,
Post in the MacBookPro forum here.

This is the Mac App Store forum. Don't worry.. might take awhile to adjust to the new ASC.

Before a trip, my Mac Book Pro didn't shut down completely.
When I arrived and opened the Mac, the clock was wiped out and showed 1, 1, 2000. Now my email has incoming dated March 25, 2014. Yes, Mac Mail. What can I do?
I did my disk utility 3 times. Got some of the other functions corrected. The MacMail is still showing March 25, 2014. This has been for the last week.
Any ideas?
In a time warp
Have OS 10.7.5 runningtherafrombodega bay,
log in as your administrative user. In the Finder, press Command-Shift-U to bring up the Utility folder, and run Terminal there. In the Terminal window, enter the following command, pressing the Return key at the end of the line:
sudo date -n 030817102014
This command will ask for a password; give it your adminstrative user’s password. The password will not display as you type it in; this is a security measure.
After this command has been entered, open the Date & Time pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, click on it to unlock it (and provide your administrative user’s password when requested). In the Time Zone tab, select your proper time zone. In the Date & Time tab, ensure that the “Set date and time automatically” checkbox is checked. You can then lock the padlock if desired. Your MacBook Pro should synchronize its date and time by itself. -
The hard drive on my Mac Book Pro failed last week. I just put a new Samsung SSD in this thing and had to load the Snow Leopard OS that came with the computer. I had Mt. Lion on the old drive that I had purchased last year but no boot disc made. I have made several attempts to get the Mt lion soft ware on the computer but the Apple store does not have it only mavericks but my Snow Leopard version is too old for it so I cant get it either. How do I get something to run the software that I had on the old drive?
Unfortunately I lost my life and am trying to rebuild. Isn't the technical era great.
Backup, backup, backup
As a minimum, use 3-2-1 (or even more)
3 copies of your data (original copy counts as 1)
2 different backup utilities/storage formats (protects from bugs in the software)
1 copy off-site (protects against theft, fire, and natural disaster)
More backup copies are even better.
Backup disks are cheap compared to the lost of personal data that does not exist anywhere else. -

why does my 2009 27" imac keep shutting down?
Could, also, be failing hard drive , power supply or logic board.
You may have to make an appointment and take your iMac in to Apple or Apple authorized repair center for diagnostics and a repair estimate.
If your iMac has a 1 TB internal hard drive, it maybe a Seagate drive and maybe eligible for free replacement under the Apple Seagate 1 TB internal hard drive replacement program.
If you can get your iMac running, you need to backup all of your data ASAP!. Either backup to optical disc, flash drive/s or purchase an external hard drive for backup. You can use a data cloning program such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make an exact copy of your iMac's internal hard drive.
You can check for eligibility for free hard drive replacement by inputting your iMac's serial number here.
