Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

Mac Pro 10.6.4 - I can SEE the Windows network, but I can't connect!

So I have a brand new Mac Pro dual 6-core machine in the design department of our company, and it's sweet. However, this is one of two Macs on an all-Windows network, and we're newly having some trouble.
Until recently, I could (on our iMac running 10.6) see and connect to our network with no trouble, sign in to my personal folder, etc. Now, however, the IT guys just updated the servers (and I don't know the configuration, or even what specs are critical to know), and while I can still SEE all the network drives, I can't connect to them, no matter what I try. I've tried different workgroups (which show up in my WINS Network preferences), I've tried adding search domains, I've tried using Connect To Server... with smb:// addresses and also browsing through the drives and connecting that way... I'm always told either that there was an error connecting, the server/share doesn't exist, that my login credentials are wrong, etc.
I know that I am using my proper username and login for the servers, I know that the names of the shares I'm trying to access are correct... but something is amiss here and I have no idea what it is. Is there something that needs to be done on the network side of things that I don't know about? (I'm sure more info about the network setup would help in this regard). Is there anyone who is dealing with this same issue?
Please help me with the benefit of your experience and knowledge... we need to get our Macs up and running... or we'll be stuck on Windows machines forever!
Thanks in advance,
Matt

mh, that's really hard to solve because it's probably something the IT guys did with the network.
only a few hints:
if connecting via "connect to server", try to use IPs and not computer names, so smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx instead of smb://server1. also, don't add the name of the share directly to the adress. just type the IP and you will see all available shares.
secondly, mac OS seems unable to connect if the user on the other computer does not have a password. I suppose your users do have passwords, but just to be safe.
other than that I can only imagine it being a problem on the windows side, blocking the mac or something. macs don't always see PCs in their network automatically, but the "connect to server" approach never failed on me. of course I'm only in a small home network

My macbook pro 2.2ghz, i7 , early 2011 having problem with the graphic card

hi, just need clarification, that i was made to understand that the NVDIA graphic card installed in Macbook Pro, has a warranty of 3 years, eventough without Apple Protection Plan. Can someone clarify this , as i m having problem with it now.

No, the GPU does not have a seperate 'three year warranty'... unless you purchased the extended AppleCare Protection Plan.
If you feel that you're having problems with your GPU, take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run a free diagnostic test. If the card is faulty, and you don't have a APP, you'll have to pay to have the entire logic board replaced.

Factory reset macbook pro 10.6.8 late 2011 model...how?

I want to do a factory reset my macbook pro 10.6.8 snow leopard .... I do not have a install disc as I believe this mode of software did not come with one as the software was already installed.. Can anyone verify this and give the details to factory reset the computer?

Do a backup before doing anything.
Go to the App store and download Yosemite. Quit the installer and use the program below to make a bootable USB drive. Boot from the USB drive, run Disk Utility to erase the disk choosing Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the option button to select GUID. Then run the installer on the USB drive. When Setup Assistant opens, import your data from Time Machine.

How do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

how do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

You could try ringing apple and seeing if they will give you a model number for the battery and then find one on google. Or you may even be able to order one from apple themselves.
They have support numbers for all over the world, in case you don't have the number you need, this is the support number website with all the numbers all over the world:

Macbook Pro CPU Core's temperature measurments

I have a late 2011 15-inch Macbook Pro OS X 10.8.4 with BootCamp installed.
In OS X environment, the CPU core temperatures are around 40 - 44C, while in idle or with a minimum Safari browsing the net.
When in Bootcamp with Windows 7 Professional, in the similar operating/application condition, but the my Macbook's CPU Core Temperatures are always about 52 - 55C (10 degrees higher than in OS X).
While doing heavy stuffs such as Virus Scan, Time Machine, Data Backup, Video Editing etc ... on both environments the CPU core temperatures could go up to upper 80's degree C.
Is it normal ? if so, is there any explanation for 10 degrees warmer while in BootCamp/Windows ?
Thanks

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) and now my microphone is not working

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) 3 days ago, I had a terrible experience as the genious who gave me my solid state disk for safekeeping lost my disk's brackets thus I had to wait 2 more hours until they find one after 10 days of waiting for the repair. I noticed some weird sounds, like somehting is moving with the mac 1-2 times, even if I have no mechanical parts other than the fans, but my real issue at the moment is that my microphone is not working. I can see the mic in the System Info however and in Audio Midi Setup. In the Audio Midi Setup I see that the master chanel is turned off and I can't turn in on. Ch 1 and 2 are on full. I also noticed the first seconds after the comp. boots the blue bar goes to the middle in the System Preferences -> Sound -> Input. Any ideas what to do or try? I do not want to go back to the apple store as it is 50 minutes away from here and I need my laptop as a computer science student. Everything else is working perfectly.

You need to call both the store that did the repair and Apple directly, warranty service or Apple care, and report this problem with both of them and get a ticket number of some kind (some kind of verification number) that the unit just came back from major service with this problem and that you want it fixed when you can lose the use of it, which is not right now.
Without doing something like that they could easily say it is damage not covered under the normal warranty.
God knows what the repair center did and did not do to it while it was there.
And depending on when you actually bought it the warranty could run out in the mean time.

Newbie to apple. just got a macbook pro...10 questions

hi.
i recently just switched/purchased a new 15 inch Macbook Pro yesterday. i have been playing with it last night and this morning and i have a few questions...
1. what do i do with all those discs?
-do i have to install MAC OS X, itunes, and apple care? im sorry i just don't get it. is there more stuff on the MAC OS X discs(1 and 2) that i have to install?
2. transferring music/files/pics/etc. from pc to macbook pro?
-how is this done? Ive read where you can just connect an Ethernet cable to each computer...i tried falling directions but no success. then i tired to drag my music from my ipod into my library in my macbook but it did not do anything?..how can i transfer my music/files to my new macbook pro?
3. right click?
-is there a way to right click?
4. wireless Internet?
-i did not want to buy an apple port or whatever its called. im planing on just getting a linksys...is there a specific one i should buy?
5. noise?
- ive been reading in other posts how people have solved or not solved the "whining" noise... is there a final solution? if so what?
6. print screen?
- is there a print screen option on macs? like on pc's where you press the print screen button and it copies whats currently shown. an apple person from the store showed me it can be done but i forgot what he did. all i remember is that he dragged the cursor and was able to copy the screen.
7. multiple screens?
-i remember this apple person showed me that you can have like 4 screens at the same time minimized in each corner but only one would work but you could still see the others...how can i do this?
8. best way to turn it off?
-i usually just put my PC on standby when i was done with it. what is the best option when im done using my macbook? should i just put it to sleep? and also when im sleeping should i turn it off completely or just put it to sleep?
9. icons wont move on desktop?
- i just downloaded firefox and when it was done it left an icon on my desktop. i tried dragging it to my applications but it just made a copy. how do i get rid of it or move it?
10. AIM?
-why does aim always sign off by itself? whenever i log on about 30 seconds later it logs off...can this be fixed? i dont really like using ichat. i dont like how to buddy list is setup unlike aim.
thanks!

I will give this my best shot. I too am a recent convert.
1. File them away in a safe place for future use if necessary. If you need to boot or reinstall anything later.
2. Export all of your music to an external HD from your PC and then just import them on your MBP. Go to the File menu in iTunes for this. I think I just copied my My Music file from my Win PC to a external HD and then imported them on the MBP.
3. Hold control and click at the same time. You can buy a mouse and that will help also. I bought a wireless mouse that comes with a USB key. You just plug in key and mouse works great.
4. You can use any wireless router. I have a Linksys (cant remember the model but I think its WRTGRX2).
5. Dont have problem or just dont notice it.
6. ??
7. ??
8. I asked the Genius at my local Apple store this question and he said to just close the screen to put it to sleep if Im going to be using it again the same day and only shut down when I wont be using it for a couple of days. In standby or sleep mode it does use up some battery power. I usually turn it off each nite but during the day put it to sleep in between uses.
9. Once you drag the icon to the application folder you basically did a copy and paste of the application so you can drag the desktop icon to the trash can and get rid of it. You will still have the copy of it in the application folder and that can be used to access program. you could also drag from the application folder the icon into the bottom shortcut list of applications (i cant remember at this moment what this is called) but if you drag it in from the left side you will be placing a shortcut of the application for quick access.
10. ??
Hope I kind of helped.

MacBook Pro 15 core i5 and Windows 7

Hi, in new MacBook Pro 15" core i5 4GB ram. I have installed BootCamp with Windows7 (bootcamp driver 3.1).
In "Computer Property" Windows7 Pro 32bit see 4 GB ram but only 2.18 are usable?
Task manager confirm this.
Any suggestion?

There are two problems that are limiting how much of the memory in the machine windows will use:
1) Windows in 32bit mode will only address _up to_ 3GB of memory. With 4GB of memory in the computer, windows 32Bit will use _at Max._ 3GB of it. The only way around that is to migrate to windows 64 bit.
2) Any system needs (like shared memory for low end graphics cards) subtracts from the maximum the computer recognizes. The i5 processor based Macs list two graphics cards in them (Intel HD Graphics & NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M). The Intel HD graphics uses a fair amount of shared (system) memory, so it will pull what it needs from the "3GB" leaving you with less. I'm sure there are other system needs that are pulling the number down further, hence your 2.1GB usable. On the Mac side you can probably choose which video card you use through system preferences. On the Windows side, Microsoft announced a while ago they wouldn't support this kind of system configuration (multiple dissimilar graphics cards), so my guess is in Windows 7 both graphics cards are "on" (because Win 7 doesn't know how to turn one off) and the Intel graphics is pulling the required memory from "shared" memory, even though it's not being used. This problem with running windows on a MBP with two video cards has been known for about 2 years and it sounds like Win7 didn't fix it. Having both cards running under Windows has also been known on older MBP models to generate a lot of heat and cause the battery to drain quickly.

I got a macbook pro 13 inch core i5 late 2011 , it came with osx lion and i been using facebook videocalls normaly , now i updated to Mountain lion but when i use facebook video calls in (safari ,chrome ) i see the window box but i only see my self i c
