I just got a new macbook pro, firefox is being very glitchy, please help?
I just got a new Macbook pro yesterday.
I took it home and downloaded the newest Firefox (my go-to browser for years), and I'm having some pretty substantial issues.
First, I tried streaming a movie on Netflix last night, and I'm getting a really obscure error message that provides me a list of steps. I follow the steps and nothing happens. I tried watching on Chrome and Safari and they both work.
Next, and this is the one that confuses me most, is when I pull up a video on youtube and take it to fullscreen, The bottom toolbar that gives pause and play options, shows how far along in the video you are, etc, is granulated and slightly obscured. Somehow abstracted, I guess, when it should obviously be crystal clear. I've literally never seen anything like this before, and once again, it's only happening on Firefox. I'm pretty frustrated at this point, can anyone help me?
Before you ask, I've run all my software updates and everything is completely good to go, so that's not the solution.
Thanks for reading, hopefully I can get some feedback soon.
Is it a beep or a chime (or tone)?
When it's powered on, the Mac goes through a POST (Power On Self Test), in which it briefly tests crucial components. A (more or less) musical chime or tone indicates that the POST was successful. If POST fails, what you hear depends on the Mac and the error -- a beep, or several beeps, or even a chord. These articles will give you more info

The startup chime may be a problem if you start your MBP in an inconvenient location. You can mute it by holding down the mute key (F10) until the Apple logo appears.

I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+ songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
Also... Have a look at these 2 Videos...

I just got a new MacBook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and noticed all my songs didn't transfer, including the 6 new ones I just purchased. I then brought it back to my PC to sync, and lost all my songs on my iPod. I'm now receiving all kinds of weird messages that the name of my iPod is a duplicate and cannot be synced (no matter what I put in it). During the process of loading it on my Mac., a bunch of odd emails were popping up to sync. I just kept deleting and adding mine. Is it corrupted? What have I done??? I am a personal trainer and live by my iPod. Please help.
Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
Connect the iPod to the Mac
Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
Set it to Manually Manage Music
Sync your selected songs in your library.
Whern sync complete, Eject it
Connect it to your Windows PC.
Select the song in the library
Sync it.
It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
Good luck! -
I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?
You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion -

You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
-> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine -

I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?
I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

I just got a new macbook pro and transferred everything from my old macbook. My photos show up as thumbnails in iphoto, but if I click on them, a "?" pops up for all of them!
Copy the Library over manually.
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else. -

Daughter's homework assignment needs adobe flash plug in. Just got my new MacBook Pro and scare to download program if it compromises the security of laptop. What do I do in this situation?
OS X will automatically block versions of Flash that are known to be unsafe. As long as Flash is kept up to date, it's reasonably safe. You can minimize your exposure to Flash content by installing the "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension. Flash elements will then load only when clicked.
