help my macbook pro retina 13inch started itself and turned off while in the case

as the title, my Macbook pro retina (bought in 2014) is transformed and then turn off 5 minutes later while in his case today, I only noticed after reviewing the event log and seeing a start and stop.  How can this happen? the Mac was definitely off not asleep and I did not put a timer.

It is unusual for a Mac to act this way, but this is not the first time that I heard about what's going on.

It looks like a problem SMC and is easily fixed by a reset see here reset management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support this will most likely solve the problem.

If this isn't the case, then it could be a simple sticky switch?

A visit to a Genius Bar is perhaps a good idea if the SMC reset does not work for you, and a new OSX installation did not help.

    My MacBook pro is mid 2014 13 "version. I guess it started to happen after updating to 10.11.4. I tried to reinstall and the problem is still there. Test hardware receives no error. I figured it could be a heating problem. But after, it seems that this happens even at ordinary temperatures. This screenshot is just taken immediately after a crash.

    2. Press the power button and press command-option-p-r. ...
    3. Hold these keys down until your Mac what it charges again and you here the startup chime.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2015 and when I connect to the power supply the connected is loose and my Mac does not load. Please help me

    MMacBook does not load

    Looks like you have is connected wrong charger (you have an older Mac in the House?) or the charger has been damaged. Perhaps the magnetic head is damaged.

    You have another mac or a friend with a mac that has the same charger if you can try that?

    You can certainly buy replacement chargers, but I recommend that ensure you it is the charger that is the first problem to avoid spending money. If this is a problem with the port on the Mac, then a replacement charger will not help.

    If you don't have a 2nd charger to test, you can take your Mac at the Apple Store or your local electronics store that sells Macs and ask to try the plug one of their display models.

  • MacBook Pro retina 2015 randomly freezes when try to watch the video

    Hi all

    I bought a MacBook Pro Retina early 2015 model and is currently under OS X 10.11.4. From day one, it has been an inconsistent issue where my Mac everything would freeze whenever I try to play a video. This moved not always so I thought that this was a small issue that would have been fixed with an update. Soon enough, earlier today, it's the same thing, whole frozen Mac (trackpad is more clicks, keyboard is unresponsive and screen is frozen) when I tried to play a video on FaceBook. I have tried to disable flash, use Chrome or other browsers, did a new install of OS X El Capitan and OS X Yosemite, but it did nothing.

    Any possible suggestions as to what is happening? I was going to take in inspection under the guarantee, but want to make sure before doing so because it is so inconsistent and happens randomly.

    Thank you.

    The problem may be caused by a bug in OS X, triggered by "Flash Player."

    If Flash is installed and that you did not already, please update to the latest version by opening the Flash Player pane in system preferences and selecting the updates tab.

    If Flash is already up to date, or if the update does not resolve the problem, open Safari preferences window and select the Security tab uncheck the box marked

    Enable Plug-ins

    See if there is an improvement.

    You can watch videos on YouTube and other sites without using Flash by installing the extension "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin' Safari. This isn't an endorsement. You should always do your own research to determine the safety and effectiveness of any third-party software before using it.

    We have no way of knowing exactly what you have tried that doesn't work unless you tell us. A flashing question mark boot means that your Mac is unable to locate a startup disk to boot from.

    If you haven't tried... start your Mac holding the key Option. That should launch the boot window manager have been, you can select the startup disk, and then click on restart.

    If this does not help, you will need to take the Mac for the service.

  • Screen freezes randomly (Macbook Pro retina 13 inches early 2015)

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)

    OS X Version of El Capitan 10.11.4

    Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.9 GHz

    Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel Graphics Iris 6100 1536 MB


    I bought this MacBook on the Apple store online a year ago, and I must say it has been a very reliable machine up to now. It starts way faster that any laptop I have ever used before.

    However, recently to update my OS on the 10.11.4 version, my screen freezes randomly. The keyboard and trackpad are both unresponsive.  Closing the cover does nothing either, since the macbook won't sleep normally as it would be. The only solution I had was to hold down the power button to force it to close.  This has been extremely frustrating and made me lose valuable data too.  I ran the Diagnostics of Apple and the only error seems to be the battery issue. It has been said, however, that it should not affect the performance of the computer.


    If someone has encountered this problem, great tips, thank you would be much appreciated!


    Hey, I bought the same macbook 6 months ago, the macbook had several recurring problems, graphic and audio glitches, what happened was, sometimes (for watching movies, or playing games) the screen went black with a red line on the left side of the screen, then after 2-3 seconds screen is returned to normal, and then there was a glitch-audio distortion that attaches after 10 seconds - 1 min.

    I have tried to solve this problem, because to the 4months, 2 authorized repair shops are rendered as well an apple store, they told me that the tests have said everything was perfect, they failed to reproduce this problem, and that is probably a software problem, it wasn't, because I did everything to eliminate the risk that this was a clean install os software problem to use different browsers, readers different flash etc.

    About a month and a half my macbook froze for the first time exactly like yours, frozen screen, slider became unresponsive, caps lock light insensitive, trackpad locked (didn t click), closing the screen was always on the apple logo. I did exactly what you were doing, forced to shutdown by pressing the power button.

    I was furious, thinking that this is an escalation of the hardware failure and he was in awe of this next step is to "die".

    The next time he "froze" again, I went to the apple store nearby with the macbook in a frozen state and demanded that they fix it, I insisted the guy writes it down and describe the exact condition of the macbook was when I took it to them, and he said that they will run tests and see When I tell him that it is the "millionth" time test you my macbook, he said, that even if the tests show nothing they will replace the logic board, we signed a "service record" who says that they will replace the logic board and the battery and for the first time that I was happy they will finally fix.

    I was wrong, they called me a week later and say we took some tests and everything is ok, it was the last straw, I did not pick up the macbook and said that I will not pick up unless they fix it.

    Next day I went to the store and made a big fuzz, saying: I have contacted the Ombudsman, and I'll still take legal action if they didn't fixed it the next day.

    Next day I went and they had replaced the logic board so the top-case with battery.

    The reason I say this is, their support at least in my case, it was terrible to the point that I preferred to throw the macbook in the trash and never look back, you can't really imagine how long it took me to convince to repair or replace, for 4months I was on the phone or online chat and was flowing like a ball from one to the other.

    If you are still under warranty, go directly to the apple store and request a fix, when I say request, do not be polite, don't bite on phrases like "we will do everything, so you won't have to come back again," go aggressive mode, because at least in my case, be polite did not help, the best thing would be, when it freezes again not turn off it take it straight to the apple store.

    Another thing is, I had a battery problem when running the diagnostics, whenever I gave it to them they said oh "battery is ok, sometimes the tests fail," my argument? If the tests fail how do you rely on them...

    Go and demand, it is their responsibility to fix, 3 and a half months being polite is not done, I'm aggressive and stares at me in 1 week.

    Good luck

  • Mid-2015 MacBook Pro won't start every 2 weeks, need to restore from a backup.

    Hello all, big problem, Apple says that it is not material (although I'm not sure), but if not, then there must be some sort of conflict between my installed software and the new model of MacBook Pro mid-2015. Help!

    The problem here is that I've been running EXACTLY the same configuration on a MacBook Pro 2012 since, well, 2012, without any problem. But when I received the new machine in December, I migrated everything on (using Migration Assistant), I have installed a Bootcamp partition, migrated my old installation of Windows on the use of WinClone, and everything was fine for about 2 weeks. This is the same process as I did when I upgraded the machine from 2009 to 2012 also machine well.

    Suddenly one day, starting from Windows to Mac OS, I watched the progress bar filling, then stop, then the screen went black. No sound, nothing. I hit the power button and the same sequence. Progress bar about 3/4 of way filled, on the screen then black, then the unit turns off.

    I called Apple, went to two Apple stores, and we all tried to run disk utility to fix the problem. But every time I find myself with a message "Invalid node structure. The volume could not be completely checked. File system check exit code 8. Updated scores of start-up of the volume as required. File system check or repair a failure. Operation failed... "The topic on this bed,"first aid process has failed, if possible, back up the data on this volume. »

    The idea of first re - install the operating system didn't work... apparently there was a problem with the volume at this point so he would not restore. The next option was to completely erase the partition and then restore the backup. That worked, but then the entire process repeated two weeks later.

    I have been through this process 7 ~ 8 times since December! It seems to happen every two weeks and no one can tell me why it's happening on this new machine, but I have NOT had the problem on the old machine running the same configuration.


    Apple said it might have something to do with execution Tuxera NTFS on Mac (if I can share documents across side Windows). I have not removed... Tuxera two restorations there is no change.

    I also use Paragon HFS + for Windows, because most of my material is actually stored on the Mac side. I have NOT yet removed this (current running Windows 10) because I have NO idea why or how something running on the Windows side could affect the operating system volume on the side of Mac... especially when everything I do is opening and closing things as Word documents.

    I have log files and screenshots (I write below a few... but there are many others). Apple says "it is not a hardware problem" so they won't have to help understand if it's just software. I beg the community to help!

    Here's what I new material:

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015)

    Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB

    This graphics card is the NEW one, first, that I do business with AMD

    My OLD machine is:

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012)

    Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    Any help or ideas are appreciated!

    Suddenly one day, starting from Windows to Mac OS, I watched the progress bar filling, then stop, then the screen went black. No sound, nothing. I hit the power button and the same sequence. Progress bar about 3/4 of way filled, on the screen then black, then the unit turns off.

    This occurs when the drive Boot CAN get the initial Blob of the software off the drive with the boot loader, but when he tried to mount the disk with the file system, it can not be mounted. It runs a single past of [essential] disk first aid. If the drive cannot be mounted, your Mac can not do something useful, he died.

    If the problem could not be fixed quickly, you should have been advised to REPLACE this hard drive.

    This is what you need to do now and stop wasting your time. A new drive costs less than $ 100 and will solve your problems.

  • MacBook Pro retina slider made trails on screen

    I have a brand new 15 "Macbook Pro retina and intermittently when he wants the cursor will trail across the screen. If you get on the slopes with the cursor, it erases the. Very strange. I tried to take screenshots of this phenomenon, but they do not appear in the screenshots and they also disappear after taking the screenshot. It is difficult to recreate, but it seems sometimes when I start Lightroom CC or change the resolution to "scale", it happens. I could talk to one of the 'genius' and he said it was a known software problem, but I can't find hide or hair of it anywhere on the internet. I'd hate to have to consider and be without it, if it's something as simple as a software problem that I'm able to find me the solution. I have erased HD and did a 'clean' of El Capitan install already, since I don't have much on this machine to restore. No help, it still occurs at random. Thank you advance.

    Thank you.

    Hello iCodyRo,
    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you cannot open Notes on your MacBook Pro after installing macOS Sierra and get an error saying, "Note close unexpectedly". I know how it is important for you to be able to access your notes after upgrading the software on your MacBook Pro. I recommend that you restart your Mac in safe mode and it. Then, restart your Mac as usual and test again. The following article includes the steps to restart in safe mode:

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    Start in safe mode

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  • MacBook air water damage recovery of data flash storage of air from macbook to macbook pro retina

    Last week, I spilled water on my macbook air that extinguishes immediately after that.
    It's been a week that I let it dry without attempting to start.

    Unfortunetaly, I did have a backup for 2 weeks, (of course bad luck should come at the wrong time), and I really need to get my data from the flash ssd drive.

    I thought to transfer the player of Flash ssd of the macbook air to a macbook pro retina and retrieve the data since the macbook pro retina by making a backup. Would this work? This would not damage the macbook pro retina?

    I have a macbook air early 2014, the macbook pro retina is also the same year.

    Thank you very much for your answers.

    Best regards.

    You'd better using an external enclosure of the MacBook Air SSD rather than MacBook Pro.
