Why stop my Macbook Pro >

I have a Macbook Pro bought in October 2014 El Capitan 10.11.4 running and it began to stop randomly. I left it last night and this morning it stopped charging. It happened again a few minutes ago using just battery power. I get a message that there is a problem and the computer

Stop. Then it starts up without problem. The processor is 2.8 GHz intel Core i7 and it has 16 GB of memory.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

Reset the SMC could solve the problem.

  • Why is my macbook pro took so much space

    Hello! I'm new to macbook pro, and now I started to realize that my mac has used a lot of space in just three days.

    As you can see, Photos reached 1 GB and films reached 2.41 GB.

    Although I have only two photos now in my Mac, 300 KB and 2 MB (I had imported the Photos App). I also, have one film, 900MB in size and also imported to iMovie for the project.

    Then why my mac did take space(1GB) so for two (or four, including the imported) photos? In addition, my films are expected to only reach 1.8 - 2.0 GB only but I'm losing 400 MB here.

    What can I do? and can someone explain this topic completely? is this normal?

    Sorry because I'm really newb to this.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Why impossible my macbook pro to read only 2 layers of AVCHD?

    Hello

    I have a brand new beginning 2011 17 "Macbook Pro with quad core i7 to 2.2 GHz, 8 GB ram, internal a two hard drive and 1 GB ATI graphics card (I used the OWC data Doubler to replace the optical drive with another SATA hd)."  The OS hd is 500 GB 7200 RPM and the other is 750 GB at 7200 RPM.  I have all my project files and media on the 750 and my cache of media on the 500. It seems to me that this should be a lot of power for read only 2 layers of AVCHD video smoothly, but maybe I'm wrong.  What is the bottleneck, & what can I improve? It's very frustrating. Another question, out of curiosity, is how the ATI card do in fact when using first pro? I know that it is not used as a CUDA card would be, so I'm just curious as to what he actually did.

    Thank you very much!

    Andrew

    Andrew,

    Here are the reasons why your MacBook Pro could not play back or even two layers of AVCHD video also gently as it should have been:

    (1) first Pro's highly multithreaded - but OSX itself is relatively poor compared to Windows 7 in multhreaded performance.

    (2) more mobile i7s are significantly slower than their desktop cousins because they are designed for low-power consumption, second creation. Mobile processors, in fact, is full of compromises, to start.

    And Yes, playback of AVCHD videos in itself is itself almost entirely in software only, even if you have an Nvidia card that fully supports the GPU acceleration in MPE. If you still need a very fast processor for even two layers of AVCHD playback (which are much more tax the CPU than most of the other HD formats - and there is absolutely no free lunch, in this case, because the HD codecs which require no such a robust CPU actually needs of larger and faster drives). Unfortunately, a 2.2GHz i7 is not yet powerful enough to decode the two layers of AVCHD simultaneously; in fact, you will need one that turns to well above 4 GHz can manage this task at all.

  • Why is my MacBook Pro cut wifi connection?

    In recent weeks, my wifi connection has often declined, and I have to restart my MacBook Pro to have the wifi connection.

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch (end of 2011) and am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 version

    I brought my computer to a Genius Bar, and someone had to watch. The guy helped me clean up my caches and adware which helped. It also helped me with existing Wifi preferences of trash again.

    My computer worked fine after my visit to the Genius Bar and now almost a day later my wifi connection dropped again and I had to reboot my computer.

    Any suggestions on what I should do?

    Maybe corrupt network preferences.

    Open the Finder. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

    Type or copy paste the following text:

    / Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

    Click OK, and then move all files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the trash.

    Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

    Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

  • Why not my Macbook Pro to manage over 3 USB devices?

    To make music, I need 3 usb devices. However, my macbook has only 2 usb ports. I thought that using a hub usb can help, but every time I plug 3 devices (one on macbook and usb hub with two usb devices), one of the devices does not work.

    For example, I have an audio interface, a mouse and a keyboard. When all three are connected, the midi keyboard does not work (is not recognized). When I unplug the mouse, the keyboard is recognized.

    There is no work around for this? It would be a problem with my usb hub?

    The devices have their own supply or is the hub, a powered hub? If it's a powered hub connecting all three devices inside.

  • Why is my MacBook Pro screen green pixels

    My pixels of the screen are green when I wake the computer if it has been asleep for a long period of time, like all night, or for several hours during the day.  If I keep it for a while, he begins to fade, and the screen appears quite normal, with sometimes flickering. It seems almost as if the screen, or the computer, it must warm that he go away.  I'm afraid that my computer is telling me something serious. Like, you need to replace this computer immediately!

  • First Pro CC stop CUDA Macbook Pro with GeForce GT 650 M

    Is this a bug or the GeForce GT 650M - 512 MB is not supported?

    With CS6, it works with CUDA and OpenCL. In CC mercury does not enable other than the software.

    768 MB of VRAM is required for GPU acceleration. This has been true for all previous versions.

  • 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.

  • Macbook Pro hot

    Why my new Macbook Pro fan run fast and become hot, when I run 'paint' on an editing tool?  Three photos in and my computer is on fire!  If I'll add some clarity and sharpness to the eyes, it does not take long until the computer sounds like it's going to explode and very hot!  Help!

    The bottom line is, you can't do something fans, it of kind of normal and says LR or any application you're using needs cooling because he works hard.

  • MacBook Pro sound stops once the connection when plugged headphones

    =====================

    Repair Mac mysteriously mute

    The background on the issue, is that there is a switch small sensor inside the plug headphones. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor includes what is what and changes the setting of audio output for headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the unit switches to digital output. When you completely remove the plug, it should read the internal speakers.

    The spirits tell me that there is a very good chance that you recently had something hostage in this port, a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you remove the plug, something in the port have prevented triggering sensor properly. That's why you see Digital Out instead of the internal speakers.

    The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do this is to simply run a plug in and out of the port, a few times. A large part of the time, this takes care of the problem by triggering sensor correctly. If this does not work, there may be dirt in the port. Before moving on to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, plug the small tube which corresponds to the nozzle and the breath to air a few shots in the lane. With a little luck, should dislodge dirt and the port will operate as it should.

    If this does not work, find a swab to foam tip that fits (electronics stores generally carry), dip it in rubbing alcohol and insert gently into the helmet in an attempt to wipe any tenacious dirt. I recommend foam rather than cotton fleece because the variety of cotton could leave the son behind. (This same technique works well with the bad conduct of ports from headphone output on devices such as iOS devices).

    It is possible that dirt has nothing to do with it. On the contrary, it may be that the switch should just a subtle help. If a socket or a buffer does not work, I have heard people resetting successfully with a deft poke with a toothpick.
