17 inch macbook pro not getting anything close to 8 or even 7 hours?
hello its been over a week now and i have not gotten anything close to the advertised 7 hour battery life. i dont have the other graphics card on and im only doing web browsing. on a full charge i wont get more then 3 in a half maybe 4 hours... is something wrong is the battery spose to warm up for a couple of charges before i see anything close to what its spose to be?
if anyone else is having this problem please reply idk if im the only one who isn't seeing 7 hours.
thanks i figure if this problem doesn't fix itself i have 5 days to take it in for a replacement machine.
I'd advise checking your processes in System Monitor and see if there is anything using up an inordinate CPU load. A number have people have found they have background tasks (or in one case, a driver/supplicant) that are chewing on their batteries in the background.

I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?
As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

MacBook Pro not getting me to web or email...
Macbook works fine. Macbook Pro is "connected" to my wireless network, but I cannot get to web or run email. Apple specialists tried and finally suggested I take it to an Apple store. Any ideas? Thanks.
After doing and SMC reset and a PRAM reset I discovered that the issue was infact my bluetooth mouse being turned on in my book bag which wouldn't allow me to scroll. Thank you for your help though!

MacBook Pro not loading anything (grey screen) on startup..
After turning on my brother's MacBook Pro, only a grey background with an Apple symbol and a loading wheel pops up. After a little bit, the Apple symbol switches to a sort of 'x' sign (a circle with a line through it.) Help?
Thanks!You need to start the MacBook with the original DVD that came with he computer then run disk utility on the hard drive to repair it.

Late 2011 17 Inch MacBook Pro Not Booting, Three Beeps When I hold "C"
my late 2011 mbp 17 inch will not boot. In safe mode with verbose it stops at the point looking for my hard drive. Disk utility in single user mode said the SSD has "keys out of order" and could not verify disk etc.
However when I hold "c" aka trying to boot off my optical drive with Snow Leopard in it...it beeps three times, which after searching everyone seems convinced it's memory but I took out my upgraded memory that was in it and put the factory 4gig (2x2gb) sticks back in and it's the same exact thing...three beeps when holding "c".
If I hold nothing my computer shows the apple logo, the spining boot up activity icon, AND a progress bar at the bottom that get's about 1/6th of the way doing whatever it's doing and then it instantly shuts down.
Any other ideas besides the idea that my logic board that is 1 year old randomly stopped working? It's just weird that my 9 month old SSD is not being recognized while at the same time, holding "C" to try and call my optical drive to boot I get three beeps.Three beeps means a RAM problem - bad RAM.

MacBook Pro is getting very slow after ~1h of using. It's not even getting hot!
MacBook Pro 15'

OS X 10.9 (13A603) Maverics
2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
+my battery is dead and Im using cable all the time
When I turn ON my Macbook everything is OK, but after ~1h of doing whatever (surfin on net, listetning iTunes or watching movies) it's suddenly getting super slow. After that even scrolling down the websites is lagging and watching movies from HDD is impossible (glitchy and low fps). Macbook is not getting hot at all. Normal restarting doesn't work - it's slow as it was before (I need to wait long time to turn in ON again). Yesterday I decided to restart the SMC (Control+Option+Shift+Power Button) and after restarting Macbook it was OK again for another 1h.
I've already tried:
- cleaning with Clean my Mac 2
- scan with ClamXav
- restarting SMCI'm updating OS X right now (downloading).

I upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro. When I close Address Book it automatically quits. When I close other applications they stay open on my task bar. How can I get Address Book to stay open on my task bar?
Hello charlgilbert,
It sounds like you would like to send a text from your phone number on your portable computer. You can do this by setting iMessage to start new conversations from your phone number in the Messages settings:
On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts.
From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

When trying to connect to the itunes store on my MacBook Pro, I get the following error message: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (-54) Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
I've had the same problem for a month and yet I still cant get iTunes to work, I've heard different solutions but none have worked for me
This may or may not work for you but its worth a try even though it didnt seem to work for me, Good Luck!

My 13 inch Macbook pro w retina will not install/download OS X Mavericks because it says I do not have the requirements in order to install it. I purchased my Mac this past month on 11/20/13 so i do not have a problem with it being an older version. Please help. This is my first computer so i dont have any experience on how to fix this.
You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.

When I sync my iPhone5 with my Macbook Pro I get the following message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". The strange this is that the phone did not disconnect because it sync my contacts and is charging.
Why does this happen? I have tried several cables and it does the same thing.Try:

I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro. I have bought it just 5 months back. All of a sudden, i am unable to turn the mac on. It doesn't even get Charged. What could be the issue ?
If you're unable to turn it on, let alone even charge it then it definitely sounds like a battery issue to me. I'd wait for someone else to reply just to be sure but I think somehow the battery by the sounds of it must have died. However, I could be very wrong.
If you're still under applecare which you should be then it should be an easy free fix. Hope this helps!
