I took my mac book pro to an apple store to repair a broken lcd display.  When we go to pick it up, they tell us the drive is corrupted therefore the hard drive had to be wiped clean!  What could have caused this?

I am wondering how i could have a corrupted drive, when right before the lcd screen cracked I was writing a paper.  They pretty much gave only one option which was the wipe it clean, they didn't even allow us to ex

Why didn't you ask the repair tech who told you your drive is corrupted?

  • I've just downloaded Sophos (yesterday) and commenced the scan. It keeps stopping part way through, the 2nd time when it was about 98% completed after 4 hours!!!! I've had to start again. What could be causing this? I have Mountain Lion.

    You will be advised by people here that Sophos is "junk" and should be removed {...} Sophos actually works pretty well, in my testing, and so I would suspect that there may be an underlying problem with your file system that needs to be repaired.
    FWIW, I have used Sophos regularly for several years now (including on my new iMac running Mountain Lion versions 10.8.2 & now 10.8.3) & never had any problems with it on any of the half dozen or so Macs I have installed it on.
    Quite a few people automatically assume all Mac A-V software is troublesome junk, & many will leap to the conclusion it is the cause of some problem without considering other potential (& often much more likely) causes, regardless of which A-V product is installed.
    Obviously I hope, not all A-V products are alike, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to condemn them all because of problems with one of them. Regarding Sophos in particular, finding first hand reports of it causing problems is quite difficult -- typically, if you ask for the details it turns out to be a second or third hand report & there isn't enough info available to know for certain if it is the real cause or not.
    This is not to say it is impossible for it to cause problems, just that it is prudent to consider all the possibilities before concluding that any one of them is the cause.

  • Can I customize my mac book pro at an apple store?

    If I bought a mac book pro online and later decided to customize it, can I do this at an apple store?

    Customize it how, exactly?  You can add more RAM and replace the hard drive.  Both of these can be done by you.  Other than that there is no further customization you can do post-purchase.

  • Any idea what could have caused this screen issue?

    I was wiping off the keyboard on my Mac pro 1,1 and now the screen looks like the attached photo. I am running OS 10.7.5 and had no issues with the computer or the monitor until a few minutes ago
    It is a Gateway KX2153 monitor and I tried adjusting the screen with little help. Everything is all washed out now.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Here is how the web page itself looks with the posted question

  • Windows 7 crash on starting of Photoshop CS6, any idea what could have caused this?

    Any advise is much appreciated

    Operating system drivers are most likely responsible for system crashes.
    See if you can update your display driver, from the web site of the maker of your video card.

  • Someone took my mac book pro. do any of the file down load to i cloud like my phone does?

    Someone took my mac book pro last night. do my files go to i cloud like my phone does? I have lost everything.

    Sorry for your loss but
    Only if you have saved them to iCloud
    If you have another  computer then sign into icloud at    icloud.com with your user id and password and check what you had enabled.

  • I changed my apple id and my password for it too. but on my ipod and mac book pro my old apple id keeps showing up and i it doesn't except any password.  what should i do??

    I NEED HELP!!!!!!
    i changed my apple id and my password (for the apple id), but on my ipod and mac book pro my old apple id keeps showing up for icloud, and i cant put either password!!! Trust me i tried..   What should i do????  So please help!!!!!!

    On your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
    If you're running iOS 7 on your iPod and old ID is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    When you open the application you will have the opportunity to select software update.
    You can also go to the App store and check under Purchases and Updates and if the update still does no appear select Store > Check for unfinished downloads.  
    Having said all that, please do think carefully before you do upgrade. For a great many users the latest version has been a bitter disaapointment (see various other discussions here), as it has lost considerable functionality in the drive to ensure compatitbility with iOS.

    os x could not be installed on Mac book pro because storage system verify or repair failed.

    In order to repair the system disk you must boot from another disk drive. The operating system will not allow the disk drive it is running from to be repaired.
    Book the MBP and create a bootable clone on an external disk drive. Then boot from the external disk drive and repair the system disk drive from there.

    Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.

    Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them.  They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent.  They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover.  The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free.  If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store.  For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

  • Logic Pro 8 crashes every time I press "record." What could be causing this?

    Hi,
    I have Logic Pro 8 and opened it today for the first time after updating to Snow Leopard. Logic opens just fine, but if I try to record an audio track it crashes almost immediately (I was just using the built-in microphone, nothing external). It doesn't crash if I record to a midi track. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I went and updated to 8.0.2 and it still did the same thing. This never happened before. I'm wondering if it's related to using Snow Leopard?
    Thanks for any advice you might have!

    Also, after the Install, don't forget to Run Software Update to get the Latest version of LP 8...
