But that's worth dealing with the headache. And from what I can tell there is no working fix.Īll in all we will probably lose about 75 dollars. Apple will scratch the unit up, *they made a mess out of my macbook pro*. Wait for your Mac to turn off and release the buttons. Once the Apple logo appears on your screen, continue holding Shift, Option, and Control + the Power button for another 7 seconds. Sell the DAMN THING! I'm not going to deal with any more hassles to the mall, no more arrogant geniuses, only for the end result. Press and hold the right Shift key + the left Option key + the left Control key for about 7 seconds. And it seems to me if you get a MacBook with the problem there is no fixing it.

Stupid mac shutdown how to#
Now keep in mind I've read almost every forum, and read every log on google on how to fix this stupid thing. He said the only way they could do that was to do "real world testing". So after an hour of listening to this *****, he starts yelling at me and asking me "What do you want me to do". The only software on it other than the base package is adium. I told him I've already formatted it 3 times. It if it did produce symptoms then they would format the drive. When I inquired what that meant, he told me they would just let it sit idle & perform apple diagnostic testing on it for 2 days. After that he told me the only option was to leave it and allow them to do some "real world testing". Then he leaves it to install the newest itunes. So I scheduled an appointment with one of the arrogant geniuses in towson, md.Īll he did was overload the cpu, to see if it would crash. It's not as bad, but she still won't do any important work on it. After the first boot I noticed that it had shutdown, and would not wake up or turn on until I removed the battery.įast forward a little over 2 months and the problem is still there. We got my girlfriend a Core2Duo MacBook back in April.
