I have a 2009 macbook pro unibody, I just replaced the battery but my macbook pro 2009 powers off unexpectedly. Sometimes while its plugged in and other times when running on the battery, when it gets to 67% life left it powers down. What is causing this and how can I fix it. I have already had a brand new battery put in it. I am running Mavericks OS currently.
View 4 RepliesI have an older MBP (1.83 Intel Core Duo) When I push the power button, I hear a little electric noise, then a fizzle noise. It won't turn on. However, if I close it almost all the way and turn it upside down, it powers up fine. Once it's running, no issues. Any idea where to start with trying to correct this problem? I don't know what part could be making this happen. And yes, it has to be both upside down and almost totally closed.

completely black and no keystrokes will change that. I also tried removing the battery and re-installing but to no avail.

I have a recently-purchased MBP Retina 15 inch from Mid 2012.
Every time that I put my laptop laptop to sleep while it is on battery, it sleeps fine for about an hour. After an hour or so, I hear the boot sound come from the laptop. When I open the screen at that point, the laptop is powered off. I have to power up the laptop. The laptop is not in hibernate mode, but has actually shut down (pressing other keys on the keyboard doesn't wake it up, I have to use the power button).
Applications start back up when I log in, however for example VMWare has rudely powered off (so I lose the state of my virtual machines), and any terminal programs that I was running (even if I just had a document open in 'vi') are also terminated.
I wonder, what causes this behavior? Is my system defective in some way, or is there an OS tweak in Mavericks to stop the computer from rudely powering off/force quitting all open apps in the process?
I've read that OS X now likes to hibernate laptops after an hour, but clearly hibernation isn't what's happening here.

My early 09 MBP just started having trouble with the USB port closest to the audio in/out. That port powers on my USB gadget, but it doesn't work. i.e. my mighty mouses laser turns on, but doesn't work. Anyone else having trouble with this?

I'm trying to load up Maya on my Mac and I'm getting the error: "Maya quit unexpectedly" The license appears to have been installed fine, I just can't seem the launch the program.

Fairly new MacBook Pro with OXLion. When I try to turn on the computer, the startup noise and screen appear (grey loading screenwith apple icon). A loading bar at the bottom of the screen fills about a third up, then the computer shuts down again.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an '07 vintage (DVI) Mac Mini I use as a media center. I haven't used it in a few months & its been shut down during that time. I went to start it up today & the power light went on & I could hear the fan start up but no start-up chime & no video.
I did an PMU reset to no avail. I'm thinking the logic board is done (it's under warranty & I have an appt. with a "genius" tomorrow). Just wondering if there is anything else I should try before I bring it in.
My Mini powers itself down before it finishes booting.
It's a 1.25Ghz G4 Mini, so it's a few years old. As of the last few days the computer turns itself off. So I push the power button and I get as far as the grey screen and I see the circle logo rotate and I can hear the disk heads seeking if I place my ear near the Mini. But before the OS boots, while the screen is still grey the Mini powers off. It does this with the recovery DVD in the drive too. Either way it never boots
Is there a way to diagnose this?
Lately i've been coming home to find my imac on. I've been shutting it down due to all the thunderstorms in my area. Under the energy saver options, wake for ethernet... isn't checked off. I do run eye tv but i dont have anything scheduled. Is there anything else i should check? I have an external hard drive and printer connected to the usb ports. It's an intel imac, 5 months old, 1 gig of ram and running the latest version of leopard.

The machine simply powers off after the spinning gear on the gray start up screen spins for a few seconds.
I've tried booting in safe mode, doing a PRAM reset and inserting the Installer DVD but I don't even get to any of these steps and the machine turns off.

Problem: powers up, will not complete start up sequence What led to the problem: Ignorance, mostly. CD was stuck in vertical bay and I tried someone's suggestion to eject via terminal. If you are laughing (and/or groaning), you know what must have happened. Here are steps taken to rectify disk eject and start up problems, with the results. Note: iMac install disk one remains in the vertical bay, unable to be read or ejected. applejack, fsck -fy ... multiple times. Results: disk & permissions repaired and/or verified but OSX still will not start up. It starts with grey screen, goes to blue with grey window. Progress bar moves slowly from left to right and seems to reach 100%. Operation stalls at that point. Note: Any attempt to use diskutil stalls and commands such as list, mount do not execute. drutil eject gave these results: dyld library not loaded: /system/library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/versions/A/openGL referenced from: /system/library/frameworks/QuartzCore.framework/versions/A/Quartzcore reason: image not foundTrace/BPT trap
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy first mini has a problem. It will power on with the light and then promptly turn off in about 3 seconds. The hard drive spins up but the fan does not turn on. No image on the screen or anything. the mini is open for diagnosis and will do the same thing if the CPU is not installed. Interesting question what will a mini do when it is powered on but doesn't have its CPU installed?

My 2014 21" iMac powers itself down after about 10 seconds while trying to startup in safe boot mode. I'm not even sure why it is trying to start in safe boot mode. I shut it down after a power outage while plugged into an APS UPS. I'm guessing that since I interrupted the auto shutdown it is restarting in safe boot mode. Either way, I get a grey screen with a big apple and a progress bar. The progress bar gets to about a tenth full and the power just shuts off.
I've tried starting up while holding the alt key to select the Macintosh HD. The same thing happens.

Have Word 2004. Don't laugh; it's been working. When got new MBP, Office worked. (Well, can't recall if PPT ever worked with it.)Excel and Word definitely did work. Two weeks ago, Excel started working sporadically, then not at all.Right now(!!), Word suddenly stopped working. "Word quit unexpectedly" and "Excel quit unexpectedly."
View 10 Replies View RelatedAs of a few days ago my MacBook Pro has been acting oddly. When I shut the clamshell and reopen it again a few minutes (or hours) later it's hot and makes sounds as if it is working hard at something but the display will not turn on. I usually end up turning it off anf then on again via the power button. I have a wireless keyboard attached due to damage to the laptop's own keyboard, but use the laptop's power button (which still functions). I've reattached, and reset, the keyboard a few times in case that was the problem but had no luck. It doesn't hinder my usage of the computer once it's on again but it is strange.
