13 Macbook Pro the ethernet cord won't stay plugged in.
My ethernet plug will not clip in. I plugs in and it works, but it will just slide out on its own. It doesn't click in. I have tried different cables and it doesn't make any differences. I have look at the female part of the plug and it doesn't appear that their is anything wrong with it. Anyone have any suggestions?
I have the same problem. I can verify that there is nothing wrong with the ethernet cable, as it "clips in" fine in 3 other computers that I own. Even the slightest movement dislodges the cable. I have tried several different cables, even buying an expensive cable with a premium jack, all to the same result. I believe this is a product defect, but as it's the only Macbook Pro that I own, I don't know if it's something with product design. This is a brand new 13" mid 2012 Macbook Pro.

my macbook pro has a slight dent near the ethernet cord plug and it changed the shape of the hole so that the cord wont stay in. will applecare fix this for me?
There's a pretty narrow margin between the plug fitting in the port properly, fitting loosely, and not fitting at all (meaning the opening is too small). Someone "might" be able to get the shape just right for you, but it'd be a fairly difficult task. While the aluminum does bend somewhat, it isn't all "that" flexible. It's possible that someone could break a chunk right off if they need to bend it more than just a slight amount or if they need to move it back and forth a bit to get it just right. The problem I see is that the connector should be snapping into the "port", not the frame. It sounds like your port itself may be damaged.

It's clear that the battery has got enough capacity to work correctly, so something happens with the MagSafe port or its charger. If you have another charger, try it, and if not, take the MacBook and the charger to an Apple Store or reseller. It's better to do this as we don't know if the problem is in the charger or in the MacBook Pro -

My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix. The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro. So DVD is ok. Message says "not permitted" when I click play. Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?
Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

I've just bought a MacBook Pro The system won't recognise the serial number which I've copied very carefully several times from the underside of the computer
The helpline is closed Any ideas? I don't know what the operating system is - how do I find that out?What are you trying to do?
The operating system can be found by going to the Apple menu and selecting "About this Mac"
Under "Mac OS X" should be the Version 10.6.x, clicking Software Update will update the operating system via the internet. -

hi guys, trying to transfer my itunes from my old netbook to my macbook pro via ethernet. where can i find the old pc network address?
I can't see any reason that you would need it... Just let it create it's own connection.

My macbook pro will turn on but screen stays black.
My macbook pro will turn on but screen stays black. There is no sound on start up and keys dont light up. I have done all the resets:
I disconnected the computer from the power cord, and from all other cables.
I held down the power button for several seconds to turn off the computer.
I let it sit 5 minutes.
I restarted the laptop while holding down the Shift key and nothing happened.
Holding down Command, Option, P, and R to reset your PRAM and NVRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379The only thing I haven’t tried is “floating” the computer. I’m not ready to heat it up to the melting point.
I need lots of help!!! any ideas? Its a MacBook Pro 15” or 17.5” about 5 years old. Its about 2 updates behind (OS: Snow Leopard)Zane W is giving you good advice. Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have them examine it for free. You then will know what the issues are and then can make informed decisions.

When I play Minecraft on my Macbook Pro the whole computer freezes
After a bit of Minecraft on my Macbook Pro (the amount of time before the freeze is always different. I can go hours without it freezing up but sometimes it freezes after ten minutes), the screen will get distorted and my computer becomes completely unresponsive. The only thing I can o is force it to shut off and turn it back on.
This happened before, and then my hard drive was found to be bad, so I got a new one... now it is happening again, and I would love it if I didn't have to replace the hard drive again...
One of my Engineering friends thinks it might be my graphics card or the computer itself, another said he'd never, ever seen something like the problem I am having. I'd like to know if there's something I can do to fix this problem.
My computer has a 2.8GHz Intel i7 duo-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB graphics card, if that is of any use to anyone who can help me.
On a side, slightly less annoying note, when I plug in my headphones, the volume stays constant no matter how many times I adjust the volume using the buttons on the keyboard or the icon on the top of the screen. I have to go into the system preferences to change the volume. Sometimes, when I unplug the headphones, the problem persists with the computer speakers. Any ideas why this is happening or what I can do to fix it?No one has any helpful tips?

Macbook Pro shut off and won't turn on or charge?
I purchased my Macbook Pro August 1st 2012 at Best Buy and in April it shut off for no reason and it wouldn't charge. Apple replaced the battery cable and my Macbook worked for a couple of weeks, then in May same thing happened and Apple replaced the MLB, a couple days later the same thing happens and Apple replaces the Magsafe board with cable. Then a few days later specific keys on the keyboard stop working and Apple replaces the topcase with keyboard. Now 120 days later my Macbook Pro shuts off and won't charge for the 4th time. My Macbook is now out of warranty but I don't think I should pay since this is the 4th time my MacBook Pro shuts off for no reason and won't charge. Yes I already tried reseting the smc, still didn't work. What could be causing this and is there anyway Apple will cover this since is the 4th time it shuts off for no reason?
Call Apple Customer relation and explain your situation. Have your receipts for the work that was already preformed on it and ask them to replace it with a new unit.

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Won't recognize disc, why
MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Won't recognize disc, Why??? When I load a disc into the computer it sounds like it attempts to open 3-4 times and then ejects it without any window opening or explaination
Hi northsidecapt4211,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some troubleshooting steps you can take if your MacBook Pro isn't reading CDs:
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
The drive accepts discs but they do not mount or are automatically ejected
Make sure the drive is not upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up.
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
The MacBook Air SuperDrive is designed to be used with MacBook Air and Mac mini computers that do not have a built-in optical drive. For best results, connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
OS X 10.7 Lion or later: Open System Information by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click System Report.
If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.
Cheers,

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge.
So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge. When the charger is plugged in the light remains green as if it is fully charge. Before it died the laptop still recognized the charger but wouldn't charge. And now won't turn on.
If you've a 2013 model, depending on when you purchased the machine, I would suppose that you're still under warranty or at least purchased AppleCare? Regardless, I would take the kit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the computer (and, if you're still under warranty, fix the computer) and, if necessary, give you an estimate for repair.
There are all sorts of things that could be wrong - a faulty adapter, bad cabling, even the entire electrical circuitry may have gone bad.
You won't know unless you had an Apple tech look it over.
Good luck,

My Macbook Pro starts beeping and won't turn on. Any ideas?
I recently purchased a Macbook Pro. It now won't turn on even though the light goes on. It also makes a beeping noise that won't stop until I force it to shut down. Does anyone have any ideas?
Normally - one would think that your RAM went bad if it's 3 beeps.
It could also mean that macbook can not find any valid os installed.
Have you recently upgraded your RAM? if so - take them out and install the old one back and see what happens.
if however, you never upgraded your RAM - best suggestion is to take it to Apple and have them take a look at it. -
Help! I received a Macbook Pro for Christmas and can not stay contect to my internet....
My provider is Hughsnet. Is something not set right?? I can conect but after open a couple of windows/tabs it degrades my
internet conection. I have a call into Apple Tech for tomorrow but was wondering if anyone else is having a problem like this.
ThanksUse the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
