I have a 13" MacBook Pro (2012) with bootcamp running Win 7. Occasionally on start up, the computer beeps 3 times and I cannot power up unless I let the Computer set for an hour or so. How can I power up? I cannot currently turn it on. I have it charging

.

3 Beeps is a Memory problem. you could try reseating them yourself or take it to an Apple store and ask them to do it for you.

  • Intrepid ValueCAN3 usb2 type device not supported on Macbook Pro 2012 with USB3

    I cannot use an Intrepid CS ValueCAN3 with a USB2 interface on a Macbook Pro 2012, which has a USB3 interface.
    I am running Windows 7 Pro, Service Pack 1, under BootCamp 4.0
    I keep my Window 7 Pro updated with Windows Update.
    I called Intrepid CS, and they said there are issues with USB3 and support is needed by some computers that have USB3 interfaces.
    The ValueCAN3 is an automotive diagostic tool, that interfaces to Windows computers via USB2.0.
    More info at:
    http://www.intrepidcs.com/
    fhttp://www.hkaco.com/CAN/intrepid/ValueCAN3.pdf
    The ValueCAN3 uses a FTDI serial-to-USB chip to handle communication.
    FTDI chips make it easy to add a USB interface to a device.
    More info at:
    http://www.ftdichip.com/
    Other devices, such as USB 2.0 flash drives, work fine.
    Are other having problems with USB 2.0 devices on a MacBook Pro 2012?
    Is anyone using a device that uses the FTDI chips?
    Anyone have ideas to try?
    I want to use this Macbook Pro for both Mac OSX and Windows.
    I tell people I wanted a high-end Windows Laptop, so I bought a Macbook Pro to run Windows on it.
    I have also call Apple for support, but they claim that this is not their problem to solve.

    I was told that the Intrepid tools (ValueCAN3 and Intrepid neoVI Fire) that use a FDTI USB to serial interface, would work on Windows 8 on the Macbook. I wanted to avoid Windows 8. I broke down and installed Windows 8 Pro on the Macbook, installing over Windows 7. The two devices now work - but the trackpad does not work. I saw a reccomendation to install trackpad++, along with PPA (Power Plan Assistant), it does not work for my macbook pro 2012.
    When will Apple support Windows 8? (an answer that will not be answered here)
    The problem is basically Windows 7 does not support USB3, so I installed Windows 8 which does support USB3.
    Now with Windows 8 Pro installed, the trackpad does not work.
    I also cannot run the Windows Experience Index.
    Status Summary:
    I can use the USB3 ports under Windows 8 pro.
    Intrepid USB2 based interfaces work now.
    Trackpad does not work under Windows 8 Pro on the macbook pro (2012) using Bootcamp 4.0.
    And Yes, I hate Windows 8 Pro. Windows 7 works, Windows 8 - I just don't get it.

  • Can Macbook pro 2012 with GT650M support 3d vision via bootcamp

    After updating NVidia driver newer than 267.76,
    I got black screen after Windows Logo shown during reboot.
    After countless annoying tests,
    I installed the newest NVidia 285.79 driver without problem finally.
    My original prefered display configuration:
    link the primary monitor with HDMI port
    I already followed the GeForce Driver Installation Guide, step by step,
    http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=169555
    but there's still black screen after reboot.
    THEN, I TRIED TO USE mini-DISPLAY PORT INSTEAD AND REBOOT AGAIN,
    video signal was connected to my DELL 2707W(only DVI port)
    by MiniDP to HDMI adapter/HDMI-DVI cable.
    The display is NORMAL NOW !!
    Root Cause assumption:
    Maybe the driver newer than 267.76 always regard miniDP as primary signal output port,
    even if you set the HDMI port as primary.
    I think this is a serious bug, but no solution after mote than 30 driver updating.
    The following configuration worked on my Mac mini 2010 system:
    mini─miniDP to HDMI adapter─
    HDMI cable to HDMI splitter─┬HDMI-DVI cable─Dell 2707
                                                  └HDMI cable─ 3D projector
    but I found that the configuration can't play 3D video...
    So I changed the configuration to:
    Mac─miniDP to HDMI adapter─HDMI-DVI cable─Dell 2707
          └HDMI cable─ 3D projector 
    For your reference.

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.  

  • New MacBook Pro 2012 with battery health at 92%

    Hi everyone!
    Few weeks ago I bought brand new MacBook Pro (2012, 13"). After 12 cycles the battery health significantly decreased to 92%. Quite unexpected, isn't? Could you advise me what can be a problem? AC adapter, socket in my wall or something else?
    To answer your questions, I did not put the battery below 10% during this time.
    Thanks in advance for any hints!

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

    I'm looking for a laptop that will last me a couple of years which is why I'm upgrading to SSD without losing performance. I usually game on my Mac so I want a laptop to handle that, handle programs in the background and writing or reading without losing speed, I also need a laptop that has fast boot time.
    I will be using the laptop mainly for school and running programs such as iWork and mircrosoft office as well as websurfing and video streaming thanks for any advice.

    I hope others pipe in with their comments, but the first suggestion is to visit your local Apple Store and try out the units. Trying them out can make a difference in your decision.
    This is how I'd try to make sense of this:
    MBP 13 2012:
    Solid all-purpose portable at a decent price, and even has a 240GB SSD. If you don't load it with tons to videos, this will more than fit your needs as a student and websurfer. A little heavier than the others here, but it's a solid package that's stable. Great if you need to use the CD/DVD.
    MBA 13 2012:
    Also good, similar specs, notably lighter. Notes are easy to take, and easier to carry on long campus treks. If you're not near a power source, the battery life may be a concern. If you need a CD/DVD, you can connect it when you need it - but it's extra. Servicing a MBA is more difficult.
    MBR 15 2012:
    Beautiful display, packed with performance. No DVD/CD drive, NVIDIA performance is unproven, kind of pricey, the first generation of a device; it's going to get better over time. Can't be serviced in any way by the user; the Apple Store is your only option. Now's not the best time to get the MBR.
    MBR 13 2012:
    Same comments.
    I'd say the MBA is a good pick. Few moving parts, therefore more reliability. Low heat. You can always attach a CD/DVD drive via USB. Intel Graphics is solid; no problems there. Plenty of capacity for your needs. And the display is bright. MBA 13 or 11, IMO.

  • Just downloaded mavericks, now iPhoto won't load because of an error message that says "You can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac" . I have a 17" MacBook Pro, mid 2010 model running 2.53 GHz and Intel Core I5,

    I just downloaded the new Mavericks operating sytem on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 17" 2.53GHz, Intel Core I5 machine. My IPhoto is no longer working at all, I'm getting an error message that says - "You Can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac". I also loaded Mavericks onto my other MacBook Pro 17", mid 2009 model and everything works fine. I would think that the newer Mac would easily work with IPhoto. Also, when I try to download from the App Store, it asks for my Apple ID and Password, I enter it, and then the little spinning color wheel just spins forever, with nothing ever happening. I tried downloading the IPhoto Upgrade but it never actually downloads, HELP!!!

    What version of iPhoto do you have installed?  Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
    If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5.  It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

  • Will my Razer Gaming products work on my Macbook pro 2011 with bootcamp?

    I have purchased 16gb of RAM for my Macbook pro late 2011 so bootcamp will run very fast when I purchase it. I was wondering if my Razer gaming accesories will work on my Macbook with bootcamp, and for future purchases of gaming accessories. Thanks

    Boot Camp is
    a misname for an Apple oriented GPart etc to partiton a drive for use by Windows natively, drivers, a control panel for Windows, and download utility for those drivers.
    You are running Windows natively which is 93% the same as running on most any PC hardware.
    So it should.

  • Registry setting for burning cds missing?   how can i fix?

    I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a cd that the registry setting for burning cds is missing.  I've totally uninstalled and reinstalled all componets of itunes with no success.  Can anyone help please. 

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Trackpad Problem on MacBook Pro 2011 with bootcamp windows 7

    I am running Windows 7 in bootcamp on my 13 inch MBP 2011.
    I am really pleased how smooth the installation went and everything so far works as it was on my old windows mashine.
    Just the trackpad is not running very smooth.
    I reduced the scrolling down speed so the scrolling with two fingers is quiet alright now. But I have a problem with this touch to click function. Very often when I write I touch the trackpad with the palm of one hand and this results in actions like my text is continued in another line or suddenly whole paragraphs are highlighted or any other odd behaviour.
    I thought to take the touch to click function off but I can't even find the setting in the windows control panel.
    There are only the pure standard driver settings available in the control.
    Can anybody tell me if there is a solution? Actuallly I like this touch to click, it's working very well when I use the trackpad. I know in other machines you can set a function that it's regonized if you put your finger on a trackpad or it's your palm whilst your writing, or the trackpad disables itself when the keyboard is used.
    Is there maybe a better driver for the new MacBook trackpad under windows seven...or do I even have maybe a wrong driver onboard?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi psheraton,
    I have found now some setting so that I can first at all live with it. Nevertheless i would be very thankful when Apple would work the touchpaddriver over so that it works smoother. Its such an nice device and the big touchpad is great but its realy working very poor under bootcamp.
    Maybe you try my settings:
    First at all start bootcamp from windows system, and go to the trackpadsettings. Take out the touch for klick. You can forget working with this as when you write it just hops wherever it wants.. as I wrote before, youre suddenly write on in a completly different paragraph...that impossible to use with this settings.
    Its a shame as acutally using this touch to click in other applications than writing is very smooth and good.
    Other notebooks having an automaticle regonizion function which notices when your accidently put your wrist or palm on the touchpad whilst using the keyboard. Thats certanly what is needed here es well, especially because of the huge touchpad.
    Next you have to go to the windows mouse driver which is not in bootcamp but in the standard Windows system settings and adjust the scroll speed down to 1 on each of the two functions there.
    This then takes the overdose of speed away when you use two fingers on the touchpad to scroll.
    Having it set to more than 1 is not usable either.
    These are the setting how I have build myself a workaround for the moment.
    But as I said...please please Apple work at this touchpaddriver together with Microsoft to get more out of this wonderful trackpad.
    Hope this helps you liking your device a bit more....only Apple could help us further now...
