Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, you may have to take the MBP to the Apple Store to have it checked.

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

The microphone inputs and the audio are working, but not always as they originally did. I consistently updated the drivers and have uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times. I had been having a similar issue with the microphone inputs and after a few reinstalls get them to work, but I'm not having any luck doing the same for the instruments inputs.
Hi Gen,
I'd be happy to elaborate and thanks so much for responding. The problem I had with the mic inputs in the past is similar to what's going on with the instrument inputs now. The mic inputs would work for a bit and then randomly stop. I'd go into the Apogee preferences in Logic and try to reset stuff, turn phantom power on and off, and play with the pre-amp levels which sometimes would work but often times not. The big difference between what happened with the mics and what's happening with the instrument inputs is that I could always get a read/level on the mics even though I couldn't hear them, but with the instrument inputs I'm getting nothing. Other than this, the mic inputs have worked as they should.
There have been two issues with the audio not working like it originally did. The main issue is that about 90% of the time I can control the output levels (whether in Logic, on the web, or in iTunes) using either the volume controls on my MacBook Pro or the dial on the Apogee. Occasionally, the Apogee will take over and I can only adjust the volume using the its dial. Normally, if I unplug and plug it back in this "fixes" it.
The other weird thing the audio is doing that just started happening and doesn't happen very often is that I'll go to watch something on YouTube, Vimeo, etc and the audio only comes out of the left channel. I'll mute the audio from my computer and/or using the Apogee's dial and I'll unplug and plug it back in, but normally I just have to deal until it fixes itself.
Here's a best guess timeline for when problems started showing up:
- The mic input issues have been on and off for about two and a half years.
- The audio output issue has been kind of off and on for a few years but became a more regular occurrence about 2 months ago and I believe it was after a reinstall that it started
- The left channel isolation started about a little more than month ago, probably around the same time as the audio
output and probably has something to do with the reinstall
** I'm really unsure how long ago the instrument output problem started because I hadn't been using them for quite some time. I think they were working correctly 7-8 months ago and I noticed the problem about 2-3
months back. I tried fiddling around with it for about a month before a reinstalled the drivers around 2 months
ago
I hope that answers your questions adequately and I really hope you'll be able to help. Let me know if there is any more information you need. I should be much quicker to reply moving forward as I was away for most of last week and the beginning of this week.
Thank you,

hello i have a problem with my macbook pro become to slow to write any thing, to do any thing and the fan is always on never stop what can i do?
i already reinstall the software many times and still the same i dont know what is happening is there is somebody who can help me please im will waitingThere are any number of possibilies... you could have problems with runaway applications, causing your machine to overheat and setting the fans off, you could have bad fan sensors, etc.
Open Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) and see if you have any apps that may be hogging the CPU. Call back.

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect anywhere. I did get connected via TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest. (Network settings, ISP, Internet and server.)
Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I have a MacBook Pro, it has came up saying I need to free up space on the disk as it full every time it starts up, so I log in and no icons or applications show up on the screen just my background wallpaper, the only thing I can do is the force quit keyboard shortcut but there is nothing to quit, I have tried to start up in safe mode but again there is no icons in the desktop,
I have my disks that came with my laptop I have went into disk utility to repair disk and I still seem to have the same problem .. No icons or apps or anything lol just the cursor I can only shut down the laptop via power but and the press shut down.
Please help I am going out my mind with this thing :(
Thanks x jadeThis can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Read about storage drive so you can store your extra stuff.

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.
I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years... -
I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. After connecting my HP Photosmart D110 to it, the printer works but the scanner doesn't. The message is"The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". Can anyone help?

I have a Macbook Pro (2013) OS 10.8.1. Moved into a university house and need to use ethernet cable. Bought the Thunderbold connection but when I try to use the ethernet with it a webpage comes up saying Wireless Setup and Router Setup? I have previously used ethernets in similar situations and never had to input information like this?
I have tried to turn of the wi-fi but that doesn't work either. I think it could be a something to do with the internet provider because virginmedia comes up on the webpage. This is what comes up:
Wireless Setup
WGR614V9
V1.0.11_1.0.1VGUK
Wireless Setup

Security Passphrase (WPA-PSK):
(8-63 characters)

I have a macbook pro 17" 1,1 model (early 2006), but I do not have installation discs.
If I order a replacement, what version is it?
Can I install the latest version 10.8.4 in 1,1 model?
If it is possible, what I have to do to get it done? And the price?
ThanksMacBookPro1,1 can only run Mac OS X 10.6.8, as it has got a 32-bit processor.
If you order replacement DVDs, Apple will send you DVDs with the original Mac OS X version that came with your Mac, in this case, Mac OS X 10.4.5.
If you decide to get replacement DVDs, Apple will only charge you for the delivery -
Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.
It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...
