MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) intermittent black screen or loss of video. Can I still get this problem resolve by Apple or I'm screwed because the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) intermittent black screen or loss of video Quality Program has ended?

You can have Apple replace the logic board, but it will be at your expense. The free replacement program has ended.
As a band aid you may try the following:

This will allow you to run on only the integrated GPU.

Why is the MacBook Pro Serial ATA transfer speed half that of the new iMac?

I have a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz 15.4 inch with a Seagate Momentus 160 GB, 7200 rpm, serial ATA, PRT hard drive. This hard drive has a serial ATA transfer speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. The MBP logic board has an Intel 965 chip set that has a serial transfer speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. I was at the Mac Store the other day and noticed that the new iMac 20 and 24 inch computers (that have the same intel 965 chip set) have an Intel ICH8-MAHCI speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. My question is why does the MacBook and MacBook Pro's only have an Intel ICH8-M AHCI speed rating of 1.5 Gigabits per second? Attached is a copy of my Serial-ATA information:

For several reason although the main one is that the vast majority of 2.5" drives have a 1.5Gbps interfacce. Drives with a 3Gbps interface in this size are rare where as they're very common in the 3.5" drive size which is used in the iMac.
Additionally you'll find that few drives do in fact make use of this larger bandwidth. For instance, the fastest 3.5" SATA drive one can buy for an iMac/Mac Pro up to 500GB is in fact a Western Digital Raptor 150GB which has an SATA I 1.5Gbps interface. So the interface bandwidth isn't everything. Yes there are faster drives than this now but they are in the 750GB size and up.

Why is the Black Swan no longer available in the US store?

Why is the movie the Black Swan no longer available in the US store and does any know when it will again be available for purchase / rent?

Hi...
This being a user to user forum, not Apple, we have no way of knowing Apple's policy regarding the availablity of movies sold or rented from the iTunes Store.
However, you can start a wish list.
In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
Find the song, video, or album you want to add.
Click the arrow to the right of the Buy button for the item you want to add:
From the menu that appears, choose “Add to Wish List:”

Why does the macbook pro use both types of storage?

Why does the 13inch retina have both the 8gb hardrive and the flashdrive?

Oops reading your question again, I see there is a misunderstanding:
http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
The 8GB is not hard drive memory. It is chip memory just for multi-tasking purposes, and it can be custom configured to 16 GB of multi-tasking memory. If you wanted to store applications or data files on it, you can create a RAM disk, but it actually would be copying the information off the SSD. There is no "permanent" storage of data on the 8GB or 16GB of RAM.
There is no platter hard drive anymore.
The 128 GB is the SSD memory on the 13" model by default, and can be custom configured to 512GB of SSD memory.
The odd thing is your SSD can do swap file storage for multitasking, but also doubles as your place to store actual data files.
For awhile Apple mixed both platter and SSD. Looks like that is no longer the case at least with the 13" Retina.
SSD memory is comparable to hard drive memory in that it is more "permanent" storage after reboot. Calling it permanent is a misnomer though, since hard drives and SSDs can both fail without any warning, and a backup is always recommended:

Why is the Macbook Pro graphics card worse than my school's Macbooks.

I have some problems with games on my Macbook Pro and I usually have to play games on low quality. So I checked on System profiler what my graphics card is, (I can't list it becase i'm at school) and compared it with my schools graphic card. I think my Macbook pro's graphic card is like 250m but i don't remember the name of it. My school's notebook is Nivida GeForce 9400m. The school's Macbooks have 2 gb lower ram though. My brother has no problem playing games. I was just wondering why this is. Thanks in advance!

Well if its a 2011 then you don't have a GeForce at all. If its 13 inch then you have Intel HD 3000. 15 inch is the Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6750M. 17 inch is Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M.

Why is The Daily Show no longer available in UK iTunes Store?

I've noticed Jon Stewarts The Daily Show is no longer available in the UK iTunes Store.
Will this be permanent?

Sorry, but you don't. None of us here, who are all just fellow users, know why the Daily Show was removed from any iTunes Store. It was certainly by request of the owner(s) of the show, but what their reasons are none of us here can say and Apple never comments on the reasons for lack of availability of any content.

Why will my macbook pro no longer connect to my tv?

Hi all,
Until a recently I had no difficulty connecting my mid 2010 macbook pro to my LG tv using a mini display port to HDMI cable. The software on the Mac is OS X Lion 10.7.3 Now when i plug it does not work. The tv recognisies the computer is plugged in but it enlarges the screen so can only see a small part and the display on the computer does the same so I can get into the display menu to do anything there. When I unplug it it goes back to normal but i cant do anything with the display preferneces as its not plugged in. I have tried a new cable but this didnt work. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Sorry, that should read that i can't get into the display preferences.

Why does the MacBook Pro make a loud heat noise?

So, when I was playing a game called "Modern Combat Domination" my MacBook Pro make a very loud heat noise? Does that mean I should stop playing the game? I worried. Thank You.

That means your fan(s) sped up to dispose of the excess heat generated by playing the game. It's a sign that your machine is taking care of itself properly.

HT2534 Why is the "None" option no longer available?

Why can I no longer enter the iTunes store without a credit card? My company has purchased 15 to 20 iPads and we were originally able to download free apps through our MDM without needing to enter a credit card on each device iTunes account. Now all the sudden we need credit card information?

Hello FowlerServices,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Why is the 15" powerbook no longer available?

Assuming the plan is to discontinue making them - Are they just the first to clear out of Apple's inventory?
I do see they are still available thru Amazon and the like.
Perhaps a new configuration will appear next month at Apple's 30th Anniversary? Perhaps they figured out how to cool down a G5 Powerbook?
In any case, if ya know why the 15" is no more on the Apple site I'd appreciate yer heads up. Much thanx.

I too decided against the MBP. The "old" PB is plenty fast for my needs, but it also let me keep my array of power adapters, PCMCIA cards, Double Layer DVDs, 60 extra vertical pixels, modem, Firewire 800, cases, adapters, covers, etc. All my $$$ of software is PPC native. All told, going with the PB1.67g actually saved me over $1000 in new gear. If you ever feel regret for not getting the latest PB, post back here and I'll help you through it.
I just realized I have owned the Powerbook G4 "bookends": the 400mhz Titanium and the 1.67ghz Aluminum. Five gears of the G4 portables was a pretty good run. I wonder what we'll have in another 5 years?

Why is the MacBook Pro slower than my G4 1.25mhz?

I have been having issues with my MBP for a while now. It was 1.5 G of RAM and has been optimized. My iMovie runs very slow and it takes forever sometimes to empty the trash. It is just a very sensitive system? I can throw almost anything at my desktop and it operates fine. I thought the MBP would be blazing and its not. I understand that some of the applications I use are not native, but it shouldn't be running this slow. I have about 30gigs left on the hard drive also. Can anyone help?

Using a third-party optimizer (i.e., defragmenter) is risky on Intel Macs. I'm not sure there are any compatible defraggers. Improper defragging could be the cause of your problem. Transferring applications that were all PPC apps that have now replaced the pre-installed Intel apps. No wonder things are slow.
I suspect you need to erase the drive and reinstall the OS or at the very least repair the hard drive then do an Archive and Install.
For future reference OS X does not require defragmentation. OS X defrags all files under 20 MBs on the fly.
Here's some useful info on migrating from PPC to Intel Macs:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Why will my macbook pro no longer open pdfs in my browsers?

All of a sudden, I can no longer open pdfs in my browers (Safari and Firefox). I can dowload them to my computer and then open them, but I would like to be able to view them online. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Here is an answer for if you are using Firefox:

If you are using Safari, make sure that it is fully upgraded because there have been known problems with 5.1

Why does the macbook pro restart in few seconds after I select "shut down?"

When I select shut down, the computer goes off and comes on again in a few seconds. It doesn't come on quickly like it does when I select restart. It's like a ghost is in there.

Unplug all the USB devices you don't need or put a hub with its own power supply between the computer and them.
