No. Apple replaced the disk drive with a solid state drive (SSD) instead. The SSD is faster the old disk drive.

  • I am not getting any sound input on my microphone. There is no microphone input on my new macbook pro, so I am using my old one. Is this a problem with the new operating system? Did they simply remove any microphone software?

    Check System Preferences > Sound > Output
    Make sure the correct device is selected.

  • I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

  • New MacBook Pro 10.7.2 trying to connect to HP laserjet 1200 w wireless. Tried generic driver and hpdriver and gutenprint drivers. "Unable to connect due to error". Deleted prefs, restarted etc. Any ideas ?

    Just purchased a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2. Cannot get it to print with HP LaserJet 1200.
    Connection is wireless, able to ping printer. (also tried  MacBook using ethernet).
    This HP 1200 prints perfectly with another mac running Snow Leopard.
    Tried HP 1200 driver, which, according to HP,  is not working with 10.7.2; They suggested Gutenprint
    tried generic printer from Mac, (message was printer is busy);
    tried CUPS Gutenprint 5.0.2,(message says "unable to connect due to an error"
    removed preferences and re-added printer, rebooted etc.  
    Any thoughts? I thought it was the driver, maybe there are other drivers out there or maybe it's something else???? Thanks

    Thanks for the replys.
    After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

  • New iphone on O2 I had the phone unlocked, the phone then developed a problem with connecting to wifi. it was sent back under the warranty for a replacement phone. will the new phone be sent back back on O2 or unlocked as I sent it ?

    Don't want to have to pay again to have it unlocked.

    Then your iPhone was not unlocked legitemately  ,it was hacked to unlock it
    You may not get a replacement ,hacking voids the warranty and you can have NO support or help from Apple or on this forum 3
    If you do get a replacement it will certainly be locked to O2 as the iPhone status on Apple Activation servers is locked

  • Just bought a new MacBook pro to replace my old PC.  I have LR 4 on disk and LR 5 upgrade on disk and need to know how to load LR on my new Macbook Pro.  Also how do I transfer photos?

    I'm not very good with computers and need help.  My LR 4 and LR 5 upgrade are on disk but my new MacBook Pro doesn't use disk.  How do I load LR on my new computer?  Also, how do I get the photos from LR on my old computer to the new computer?

    You can download Lightroom thru the link(s) below.  If you only want to install the version 5 upgrade you do not need to install 4 first - you likely just need to provide the serial number for it when you activate 5.
    Lightroom - all versions
    Windows

    Mac

    As far as transferring photos goes, that is something you might get help for in the Photoshop Lightroom forum.  But you could wait here and see if anyone knows, or you could search Google and probably find out how.

  • I transferred/migrated my files from my old 08 macbook 13" notebook to my new Macbook pro and now my Adobe programs and Microsoft for mac are not working. do I have to reinstall the programs?

    I have recently purchased a new macbook pro, I had a macbook 13" notebook from 2008 and I trasnferred all of my files using the migration assistant. It said the transfer was completed and everything looked fine. but when I try to open my CS4 photoshop, illustrator, indesign or my microsoft for mac programs they crash. did the files not transfer correctly? do I have to reinstall them? do I need to wipe my mac and start again to clean out all of the transferred files?

    If you still have your old MacBook, You can put the software installers in and image the discs using isk Utility and then copy them to your new MacBook Pro via a flash drive and install them from the disc images.
    Another option is that you can connect it to your new mac in target Disk mode.  Then you can use the DVD drive that is in the MacBook to install  the software.  To do  this you would need a firewire cable plugged into your old MacBook and connect that to a Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor that is connected to your new MacBook Pro.

  • No Lion Operating System Disk(s) with my new MacBook Pro?

    Hi, Just bought my wife a new MacBook Pro yesterday.  We are probably old school but we were both surprised to NOT find Lion OS disks in the box. 
    We called the Apple Store where we made the purchase and they told us they were not currently shipping Lion OS disks with new systems??? 
    How can obtain OS disk(s) for Lion and her new MacBook Pro?
    Optional purchase?  A website for a download?  Anyone else run into this situation?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi luke: Yes I know how you feel. I felt thesame way when those forst imacs came out with no floppy disk drives and with a read-only optical one. But now you can't find floppies anywhere xo life goes on.
    In any case you can, at least, make your own recovery disk. I did it and it works just fine. Here's a set of directions that I followed that I copied from some poster (sorry but I lost the originator so can't give him credit).
              •.          Purchase and download Lion from the Mac App Store on any Lion compatible Mac running Snow Leopard.
              •.          Right click on “Mac OS X Lion” installer and choose the option to “Show Package Contents.”
              •.          Inside the Contents folder that appears you will find a SharedSupport folder and inside the SharedSupport folder you will find the “InstallESD.dmg.” This is the Lion boot disc image we have all been waiting for.
              •.          Copy “InstallESD.dmg” to another folder like the Desktop.
              •.          Launch Disk Utility and click the burn button.
              •.          Select the copied “InstallESD.dmg” as the image to burn, insert a standard sized 4.7 GB DVD, and wait for your new Lion Boot Disc to come out toasty hot.
    It is important that you burn your Lion boot disc or backup the Lion installer prior to installing Lion itself. If left in the Applications folder the installer will be removed after the Lion installation is completed. If you are reading this article after upgrading to Lion all is not lost. A fresh copy of the Lion installer can always be redownloaded from the Mac App Store by clicking on the Purchased tab with the Option key held down.
    With the Lion boot disc you can boot any Lion compatible Mac, and install 10.7 just like you installed previous versions of Mac OS X. You can even use Disk Utility's Restore function to image your Lion boot disc image onto a external drive suitable for performing a clean install on a optical-drive-less MacBook Air, or Mac mini. Clean installs with Lion are easy once you find where Apple has hidden the boot disk.
    Hope this is useful to you.

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • I have new MacBook Pro. Can I load ms office (student) 2011

    I have a new MacBook Pro. Will I be able to load ms office (student) without problem? I want to use word and PowerPoint

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Office 2008 and 2011 are supported in OS X Mavericks, so you can use Office without any problem.
    You can purchase Office for Mac from the Microsoft website > http://www.microsoft.com/mac It's easy to install.
    Apart from Microsoft Office, you have other apps you may consider, like Apple iWork (Numbers, Keynote and Pages) and LibreOffice, free and open-source. I recommend you to give it a try first

  • How often does Apple release a new MacBook Pro?

    I am planning on buying a MacBook Pro (unsure of the specific model right now) and I am wondering when Apple will release a new model so I can either buy the latest or buy an older one for a cheaper price. It's like getting a new phone- you buy an iPhone 5 with a 2-yr contract then the iPhone 5s and 5c come out. When I get an estimate as to when a new Macbook Pro will come out, I'll determine if I'll wait or not. This is a big decision, so I need the most accurate answer. Thanks for any help

    Sorry, no one here can provide an answer.

    Wait for news from Apple.
    Best.

  • New Macbook pro shipped with Lion, cannot boot from SL CD

    I have a brand new Macbook pro 17" - shipped with Lion, cannot boot from snow-lopard disk - tech said I would be able to downgrade. I cant because if I try to boot from the CD it just beeps 3 times. Boots just fine from a Lion startup disk I created first. What the heck is going on here? Very upset that i cannot reach apple support in the evening any longer. If anyone can help it would be awsome. Tnx good prople.

    Hi Paul,
    Just a quick question, are your Fn keys working properly and the 2 fingered scrolling?
    I've done much the same with the help of 2 Apple Geniuses who found me an original 10.6.7 install disk for a my new macbook pro.
    It installed OK but... Fn keys don't work apart from F3 and F12, the rest give an error sound. 2 fingered scrolling on the trackpad doesn't work either.
    Mine was a custom build 15" with hi res glossy screen - I wonder if they've put in the newer wired keyboard mentioned here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4809
    or, if my problem relates to being on 10.6.7...
    Any info would be gratefully received.
