In the past week, my computer has gone to sleep several times while being charged. I'll be working in Word or Safari and my computer will randomly go to sleep and come back on when I click the power button.

Is there a way to set the 320m nVidea as the sole graphics processor for the macbook pro 13, with Snow leopard, or does it have to switch between the intel processor and the graphics card?

I have a macbook pro 13" early 2011 and I'm se as shown in the pictures (since i upgraded to os x yosemite) . It happens after display sleep or computer sleep on login not on boot up .I've noticed that i run out of ram when the problem appears (only 15MB RAM available out of 4GB), though i doesn't happen every time . I've talked to service and told me its either motherboard replacement or because the ram isn't enough (gpu shares with main ram) so maybe i should try upgrading ram. URL....

Why does my computer start running loud at different times of using it? It is random and not always when it is getting hot. Is this normal or do i need to call Apple to replace my computer?

I have torrents going all the time. If the computer goes to sleep, the internet disconnects, so they stop. Display sleep wouldn't disconnect though. Is it OK to have computer sleep on "never" but keep display on "15 minutes"? I don't usually even leave the computer on overnight.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with my external hard drive. I was using it the other day working with some of the files on it and it shut down my computer a couple times. The second time it did this, after the computer shut down, I would turn it on and then it would go right back off until I removed the hard drive and turned it on and it was fine. Now my computer won't recognize the hard drive at all when i plug it in. The light on the hard drive will come on but it will not show up on my computer.
The hard drive is a WD 1TB Passport and it still works fine with every other computer I plug it into, PCs and macs both.I have a late 2008 13" Aluminum Macbook
Every time I wake up my Mac Pro, the monitor flashes 2-3 times before it is fully on. Quite annoying. Any idea what it might be? I have the latest Mac Pro 2.66 Quad (got a referub about a month ago) and LaCie 526 (same as NEC 2690). Basic video card, DVI connection.

So I close the lid, and a few seconds later, you hear the macbook turn on, then a few seconds later, it goes back to sleep mode. This happens endlessly and it gets really annoying.

I posted something up a little while ago.. Just got this Refurb MBP 15.4" 2.66Ghz 320GB HD 9600 512MB And when my computer dies (0%) it doesn't go into regular sleep, so when I plug it back in I can't just hit the spacebar. I don't like this and want to be able to turn this off?

Before and since i had upgraded to Yosemite my macbook pro mid 2012 15" has not gone to sleep when i shut my lid i have tried to reset to default in the power settings but that didn't do anything any thing els i could do?.

PROPOSITION: Turn the sleep indicator light to a power indicator light.
I just noticed, the sleep indicator light pulses when my MBP is in sleep, but is always completely off when it's in use. This is actually a little frustrating, as sometimes I leave my MBP idle with the screen off and the backlit keyboard off as well, and I can't tell if the thing is on or not since it's dead silent.
Also, I noticed that when I leave my MBP plugged in, idle overnight, the sleep indicator light is solid in the morning. It's definitely not indicating sleep, since the unit is on, so I'm not sure what it means.
Anyway, anyone else think the sleep indicator light should be solid when the computer is in use? How would you tell the difference between an MBP that is powered off, and closed and slipped into a backpack, from an MBP that is simply powered on but fails to enter sleep for some reason?
Is there a way to keep the light on forever, sort of like a power indicator? ALL my previous laptops have some sort of power LED just so you can at least tell it's on. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Anyway, sometimes I'll leave my MacBook Air on without the power adaptor attached, and the battery will drain.That's all fine and dandy.The problem is, is that instead of going to sleep LIKE IT SHOULD, it will completely turn off, and everything I had up (web pages, anything and everything) will be GONE when it starts back up.

If I put my comp on sleep mode, could I put it in my backpack and move around? OR is the hard drive still actively on and it may dmg my cpu/hard drive?

I have a 2009 unibody macbook pro. I have 42 in lcd tv. I have a minidisplay to vga adapter and a vga cable. When I try to connect the monitor to the mbp when the lid is open nothing is detected. I do not get any options to change to mirror mode or am able to change any settings regarding the monitor. I can change the resolution of the built in display only. Now for the twist. If I connect everything, do a restart and close the lid, as the computer boots up the external monitor works. Its the grey boot screen with the apple logo. But as soon as the computer begins to load the desktop, the monitor losses the signal. At first I thought it was going into sleep mode, so I hooked up a usb mouse to keep the computer awake. I tried the process again, and as soon as it goes to the desktop it losses the signal. So I don't think it is sleep mode. I downloaded the minidisplay prot firmware update, but because the screen is not detected when the lid is open I cant run it. When the lid is closed the computer either goes to sleep or doesn't send the desktop signal and I still cant run it. Nothing happens if I change between the video cards (9400 and 9600gm). Is it a resolution issue? Do the vga cables have a max resolution that is lower than 1900 x 1200?

After using my MacBook Pro I close the laptop and it goes to sleep. Later when I return to it and open it, sometimes it can't find the network. The computer is able to see that I have an Apple Network available, but it won't connect.Sometimes when I try to connect, it gives me a timeout. How I fix it is to walk over to the router and unplug it and plug it back in. After I get the green light again, I go to the Apple Network and it works.

I am currently am using a MacBook Pro mid 2007 and was wondering it is possible to connect it to an external monitor and if so use it when closed without the comp going into sleep mode.

Is this normal? I had no applications running!
My battery often says it's charged at 98%
Is this something I should be concerned about?
I just got my macbook 2.4 a week ago and the battery will now only charge to 99%.
What is the best way to use it to keep the battery in good condition. I am normally near a power source but I read that apple do not advise to use the macbook plugged in so that what I have been doing.
Should I calibrate the battery ?
Basically. I have my 15" saying that it is charged with the MagSafe light green. Although, the battery percentage is 96%. Ehh.. Is it supposed to be like that?
Like, not charge if it has only a little bit left to charge? Or is something wrong with my battery or MagSafe?
My macbook pro is having issues starting up. To give a little history, the battery itself doesn't work alone. It requires a charger to be plugged in at all times. This has been a requirement for over a year. Upon startup tonight I tried to turn the computer on and recieved absolutlely no response from the macbook. There was no start up, and no sounds eminating from the laptop. The only positive sign is that the computer recognizes it is being charged, as the magnetized charger has the little green light illuminated. The odd thing is normally upon startup, that light would be an orange/brown color indicating that it's accepting the charge. The battery indicator light flashes one light repeatedly when pressed, but that is the only sign of life that we have noticed.
