Can't stop Macbook Pro

I can't stop my MacBook Pro (El Capitan 10.11.6). 2015   I usually hold the power button to set up a dialogue allowing me to sleep, restart or shutdown.  But it does not work.   Then I clicked on the Apple logo at the top left and choose the following several times, stop, reboot, logout.   Nothing has worked.

Then I tried using the following key sequence:

Command + Option + ESC

And then selected Finder-> force quit (as well as Safari-> force quit)

I also tried

Command + control + Option + power button / stop

But that did nothing either.

Others supporting them and now the power button long enough to sharply cut power - I'm out of options.  If anyone can suggest that a better way let me know.

Thank you!

By chance I discovered how do I restart my MacBook Pro

Control-command + power

In my view, that there is a similar keysequence to the MacBook to sleep (which is how I found the above).

Interestingly, after the reboot of the MacBook a bunch of applications I used were with open windows and everything.   This was not the case while I was trying to stop my MacBook.   No application window is open (what you could see anyway).  So, which made me feel that something has been made a blunder in and preventing the normal shutdown or restart.

One last thing to add.

What started all this was not be able to eject a disk of my camcorder SD.   I went to the internet for advice on connected eject that wouldn't eject.  One idea was to close your session by pressing the Apple logo in the upper left corner and a disconnect.  I did - but it seemed things went eventually kind of weird.    Hard to tell if the disc is ejected was the actual cause or if it was the fact that I had a lot of application windows open all night.   (I'm trying not to do)

In any case, my question seems to have disappeared.   But, if anyone has anything to add to make a little light on the subject then do not hesitate to comment.

  • Can't stop MacBook Pro after upgrade to Mac OS Sierra

    Yesterday I had upgraded my MacBook Pro since OS X El Capitan with macOS Sierra. Unfortunately I can't stop him, I can't even restart. Whenever I have start/stop I get a black screen (no slider) and it remains frozen. I have to hold the power button for a few seconds so that he will stop. I want to avoid cleaning the installation and configuring everything. Does anyone have an idea what causes this problem? I cleaned the cache and reset the NVRAM without effect.

    ... I cleaned the caches

    I recommend that you do not have this, especially with a 'clean' non-Apple utility. All these things can do is cause problems. A SMC reset will remove some files from the system cache: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac. That's all that anyone should ever do.

    Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. Read https://www.apple.com/support/backup/to learn how to do this please. To learn how to use Time Machine read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

    Then, shut down your Mac and restart in 'Safe Mode '. To learn how to do it please read: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up. Compare works your Mac in Mode for how safe it was.

    Then restart normally. If the same problem comes back, please read the section If a problem does not occur in safe mode for actions recommended to Apple.

    Finally, you can temporarily create a new user account and log into this account to determine if the problem also exists when connected to this account. To learn how to read How to test a question to another user on your Mac account. When you are finished troubleshooting, you can remove the temporary user account by following these instructions: macOS Sierra: remove a user or a group. Before you delete, confirm that you have not need of all the files that you have possibly set in this account.

  • You can improve the macbook pro 15 inch 2015 logic board

    I am the proud owner of a macbook pro mid 2015, 15-inch retina display 2.2 Ghz i7 (integrated graphics).

    I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade dedicated to one with the graphics card logic board or is there a compatibility issue?

    I know that the macbook pro with dedicated graphics card is the same size and all that one that I have so I was wondering if the logic boards are the same size.

    I hope this isn't a stupid question.

    I'm sorry. After the purchase, upgrade of the internal components is not possible.

    If you wish, you can sell the Mac you have and buy another Mac with the specifications you want.

  • Can not get Macbook pro to connect to my network

    I was unable to get a macbook pro to connect to my network. I am running a router with SRX400 G wireless broadband. I have 5 pc access without problem; However the macbook will not. I use WEP 128bits encryption, and while the mac detects the network, when I type the password, it is still not valid (the same password used on the pc without any problem).

    Since you are using WEP you enter the password.  You must enter the key 1 of the router in your wireless settings.

  • I can't get MacBook Pro to start what it is.

    I have a MacBook in early 2011 Pro 15 ".  The other day, while he was playing in Mainstage my computer decided to restart but never got past the loading of 3/4 bar.  I have run all shortcuts start and seem to restrict the question down to the hard drive.  I bought a new ssd and then had to borrow a friends MacBook to connect with disk utility (my computer wasn't allowing me to any disk utility) to format the ssd drive and install OS X.  I installed the new ssd in my MacBook and I always get the same question.  I can't get into anything other than the single-user mode.  What is a motherboard problem or a firmware issue?  Someone at - it any other ideas?  RAM is tested ok, ssd tested ok, clean install of Mac OS X starts with another computer so that the work of.  Tested cable SATA, reset SMC and LANDAU, ok I can't access internet recovery mode (it loads, and then the screen goes black to white).  I'll try a firmware reset disk, I don't know how it will work but when I can't access anything whatsoever...

    I guess that's an incorrect configuration of the installed SSD. Assuming that there is no mechanical problem with the installation of the SSD, here is how you should have put in place.

    Clean Install of Mac OS X

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
    2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
    3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
    5. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
    6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
    7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
    8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
    9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    10. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    This will not work if your computer is capable of a resumption of network. See the computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery to see if you can use this method. If this isn't the case, then your computer initially comes with a version of Snow Leopard on an installation disc. Can you use this disk to partition and format the SSD install Snow Leopard. 10.6.6 or later, is required to access the App Store, where you can download El Capitan for installation.

  • MacBook Pro 2012 does not SSD

    Hello

    So a few months ago, I upgraded my MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2012, OS X 10.10.5) with a SSD Samsung 850 Evo. Things were much faster and the other Corsair CMSA16GX3M2A1600C11 Apple Mac 16 GB (2x8GB) was also nice.

    One day, the Macbook has no more SSD, start repair of OS X and reinstalling did not help. If at start up the Mac, then applications suddenly crash randomly.

    Strangely, exchanging for 500 GB disk drive factory solves all problems.

    In addition, I can boot OS X from the SSD via USB3, but internally it does not work.

    I tried different SSD from Apple, Sandisk and Samsung, which were to be properly formatted or have OS X installed, but the Macbook simply does not accept them and either shows a blank screen or screen issue/question mark. With a support boot utility disk sometimes recognize them and sometimes not. The internal SATA cable has also been replaced by about 5 different cables, but that has not solved the problem. Replace the RAM, unplug the various components such as Superdrive or Trackpad as well.

    I can use the Macbook Pro normally but being prevented from using a SSD internal is a serious drawback. My next plan is to try the drive Caddy + SSD boot drive solution but somehow I fear that it could also do not work.

    Wouldn't be a kind of failure of the Logicboard? I'm certainly not an expert, but don't really see any other reasons.

    Thanks in advance!

    any SATA enabled the logic board on a MacBook Pro after that 2007 should accept an SSD (I guess that ANY Board with SATA connectors actually are eligible for one SSD)

    You may have damaged something with the Commission or if you are using any 3rd party with the DSS software is might be incompatible.

    Readers work on other computers or is there no option to test this?
