  • Macbook Pro power button sticks

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro, and the power button is a nightmare. It is incredibly difficult to depress. I'm worried I'm going to break it. Is this a common problem? Is there a solution? I see no other way to power the unit on.

    If you bought the machine less than 14 days ago, and it wasn't custom configured through the Apple Online Store, and you have an Apple Store nearby, go there and ask to exchange it.
    If it was custom configured or you bought it more than 14 days ago, you can't exchange it; it will need to be repaired. The Genius Bar at an Apple Store will be the best source of information about how long that's likely to take.

  • Cinema Display and MacBook Pro - Power Button won't work

    I have been using a 20" Apple Cinema Display (plastic model) with a 17" Powerbook and never had a problem. Recently I acquired a 15" MacBook Pro and it's like the power button on the display has no use at all. The only way to turn on the computer is opening the computer lid, turning it on and then closing it. The display also won't shutdown the computer, although the power button light reacts to the touch. The funny thing is that the display settings button work fine. Does anyone has a clue?

    Malcolm, thank you for the answer! But I still don't understand why my new MacBook Pro, having exactly the same connector as my older Powerbook had, won't behave the same way? I'm still using the same DVI to ADC adapter, I'm wondering if the new Macbooks maybe have some PIN assignment disabled on its DVI connector. And anyway, shouldn't the power button be able to at least shut down the computer, as long as pressing it would just open the shut down dialog box?

  • Macbook Pro power button

    My boss gave me a 2008 15" Macbook Pro to set up ready for another employee, everything had been wiped off the laptop.
    He told me that first he wanted it fixed - the power button only worked occasionally- it always worked for me but I took it to the Genius Bar anyway and they said that it could be to do with the software on it.
    I went back got Mavericks installed and everything was fine. Didnt install anything else because of other reasons and 5 days later the power button has decided it will work occasionally again.
    It is fully charged as I charged it the previous day, no noise was made at all. After many attempts, i had the disk noise but no start up, another try and it was the chime but no start up. I then had it turned on, turned my back for all of 5 minutes and it shut down again.
    Any advice peeps?

    Unless you have good electronics experience and are familiar with Mac repairs and authorised by your boss to undertake this work and be responsible for the outcome, then no.

  • Macbook Pro power button and dvd-r on left side of keyboard.

    Ok need some expert knowledge. I've come across a 2008 macbook pro for sale. Only thing is the power button and the dvd-r drive are on the left side of the machine. Anyone seen this before?? Could it be from another country originally??

    If you look at it in a mirror, it will be just fine. (sorry, but I can't resist)
    As Ashka says, that is not a MBP.  Buy it if you want, but understand you are not getting an Apple product.
    Ciao.

  • I just bought a new Macbook Pro and loaded all my info from My old Macbook...now i can't remember for the life of me my Admin Password 9which i created 3 years ago)...is there ANY WAY to bypass this on my new Macbook Pro and begin again...?

    i just bought a new Macbook Pro and loaded all my info from My old Macbook...now i can't remember for the life of me my Admin Password (which i created 3 years ago)...is there ANY WAY to bypass this on my new Macbook Pro and begin again...?

    I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
    1. Reboot
    2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
    3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
    (Type these commands very carefully)
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not.

  • After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?

    After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?  There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id.  How do I switch it to a newer id?

    It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
    I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

    I have 23 inch Apple HD Display. Will this work with my MacBook Pro? How shall I connect it?

    yarova818,
    there were two different 23-inch Apple Cinema HD displays made. The first one was made between 2002 and 2004, and has an ADC connector. The second one was made between 2004 and 2008, and has a DVI-D connector.
    If you have the display with an ADC connector, then according to this Apple page, your display will work with your MacBook Pro if it’s a 13-inch or 15-inch model. If you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you’d need an Apple DVI to ADC Adapter (or equivalent) to connect them. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then you’d also need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter (or equivalent) to complete the connection. A Retina model would also have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter to complete the connection with the DVI to ADC adapter.
    If you have the display with a DVI-D connector, then if you have a first-generation MacBook Pro, you should be able to plug it in directly. If you have a Unibody or Retina MacBook Pro, then the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would let you make the connection. Again, Retina models also would have the option of using a third-party HDMI to DVI-D adapter.

  • HT203254 I have this problem on my macbook pro. I live in Sault Ste marie, ON. I took it to Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store at Eton Center Toronto. They said it cannot be fixed for free, It would cost me more than a grand. I scared & run aways. Haha.

    Ah, but there's this caveat:
    Apple will continue to evaluate the repair data and will provide further repair extensions as needed.
    And a number of folks have found sympathetic managers and had the 2008 logic boards replaced, even after four years.

  • HT5037 All of a sudden I can't open my iPhoto library.  I get a message that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.  It takes me to this page.  Bought MacBook Pro 11/2012.  Don't have a clue as to version of

    All of a sudden I can't open my iPhoto library.  I get a message that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.  It takes me to this page.  Bought MacBook Pro 11/2012.  Don't have a clue as to version of IPhoto

    Is this library one that you've been using since you bought the MBP?  If so and you're running iPhoto 9 then apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with
    Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I plugged in my macbook pro power adapter and heard a loud bang. I checked the charger by opening it and found out the charger blew the whole mother board up. So i buy another charger, as i live in Egypt, that blew up the same way, please help.

    You'll certainly need a new logic board.
    If I were you, I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them evaluate the problems and give you an estimate for repair. If you're out of warranty, be prepared to pay a very high price to get your computer repaired.
    Good luck,

    You want to install Mountain Lion. You already have Mountain Lion installed. You want the latest version of Mountain Lion, which is 10.8.3. You've said you already have 10.8.3 installed. Apple checks your computer when you try to update and tells there are no updates at this time. That's because you're already fully up to date so there's nothing left to update.
    What more do you want or need?

  • Will this ram work in macBook Pro

    Will this work for my macbook pro? Will macbook pro support 4 Gig or ram?

    It will work fine, but as the other poster stated the price is high. You can purchase the same memory at DataMem for $126.00.
    If you have a Core 2 Duo Mac you can install 4 GBs of RAM (two 2 GB DIMMS) but only 3 GBs will be usable. The remaining 1 GB resides in an address space currently used by the operating system and thus not available to the user.

  • Can "share this printer" on a MacBook pro allow my iDevices to print on a non AirPrint printer?

    I have an Epson USB printer CX7400 (does not have AirPrint) connected to an Apple Airport Express that is connected to an Apple Time Capsule wirelessly.
    I can print from my MacBook and other Ubuntu systems.
    But...
    I have iDevices (iPad etc) that I would like to print from to.
    I have a MacBook pro with the current operating system and updates and notice that I can share the printer on the network.
    I have seen posts (might be old?) where that was enough to print from and iPad or iPhone etc?
    Is that still true?
    THANK YOU for taking your time to write!
    NOTES:
    IPad Air, Macbook Pro mid 2012.
    I did not get the impression the Epson was supported with the Epson app but I could wrong.

    Can "share this printer on a MacBook pro allow my iDevices to print on a non Airprint printer?
    No, but you might be able to print from the iOS devices but installing an App like Printopia on your Mac.  Printopia has a free trial, so you will know if it will work before you buy.

  • Macbook and Macbook Pro Power Adapters

    Is it safe to use a Macbook Pro power adapter in a Macbook and vice versa?
    I have just noticed that the MBP's adapter is 85 watts and the MB's is 60 watts. I hadn't realised they were different.
    My wife and I share each others adapters all the time (she has a Macbook). Will this be damaging either of the laptops?

    Shouldn't cause any problems. The main issue will be that the 60w adapter won't provide enough juice to both charge the MBP battery and run it if there is much of a load so I'd avoid using the 60w on the MBP for anything other than charging the battery whilst not using the machine - sudden power shortage could be painful for the machine.
    Best of luck.
