2 days new MBP / Partition error & Filevault freeze

Hi all,
I just get a brand new MBP. Unfortunately I can't create a new partition (from Boot camp or Disk Utility)
It seems that the problem is due to the activation of FileVault (which is always asking me to plug the book in order to finish encryption... but when i plug it .. nothing change)
My question is :
May I will have trouble if I reformat the disk entirely (no precious data on it) ?
I want to do it without any risk of crashing definitely the disk.. ( core storage story blablabla ..)
I saw many topics with people trying to play with partition (in order to save or erase or modify ..) no success.
- I tried to do a re install from the cmd + R
-> No change
I just want to have again this yosemite "setup" that you have when you open the box from apple...
I hope my question is clear.
Thx

CS4 not running on new MBP, licensing error?!

My 2008 MBP finally bit it and I just got a new MBP with Mavericks. I transferred my old drive over to the new computer but I can't get CS4 to work. It keeps saying there's a licensing error (150:30). Help!!

The CS4 apps should work fine in Mavericks - it sounds as if you're having a problem stemming from Adobe.
If I were you, I would contact Adobe support and see if they have a solution for your problem. It would also be good to know exactly how you transferred the files - you may have to completely reinstall CS4 again to get all of the support files in place.
Good luck,

"Setup was unable create a new system partition" error installing Win7

Hi, I've just purchased aSanDisk Extreme 120Gb SSD (model SDSSDX-120G-G25), and when attempting to install Windows 7 I get a error "Setup was unable create a new system partition or locate an existing partition" when selecting the partition to install to. I've already tried various DISKPART commands to clean the drive, create the partition, format to NTFS and make it active, but to no avail. I've also made sure no other drives are connected except the DVD drive for my Windows disc. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 motherboard, plugged into one of the ICH9R Southbridge SATA ports, and I've switched AHCI mode on already. Anybody have any ideas before I send the drive back? Thanks

In such a situation, you can clean the entire SSD using diskpart and this will ensure that the boot sector and system reserved partition is also cleaned. Try using the following method to clean the SSD and use the windows automatic partitioning to create partition for the installation of the operating system. 1. Insert the windows 7 DVD into the DVD drive.
2.On the disk selection screen, press SHIFT+F10. A Command Prompt window opens.
3.Type diskpart, and then press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.
4.Type list disk, and then press ENTER. A list of available hard disks is displayed.
5.Type sel disk number, and then press ENTER. number is the number of the hard disk that you want to clean. The hard disk is now selected.
6.Type det disk, and then press ENTER. A list of partitions on the hard disk is displayed. Use this information to verify that the correct disk is selected.
7.Make sure that the disk does not contain required data, type clean all, and then press ENTER to clean the disk.All the partitions and all the data on the disk is permanently removed.
8.Type exit, and then press ENTER to close9. Continue istallation of Windows OS by using automatic partitioning scheme rather than creating partitions yourself. This worked for me in a similar situation. Hope will work for you as well. Best of Luck:-)

XP Pro install fails on new MBP - Disk Error every time

I have a new 13" MBP. I set up a 50GB partition with Bootcamp but I get a 'Disk Error. Press any key to restart' message after I try to install XP.
I've just tried a second XP Pro install disk, both are legit and brand new. I wiped the partition with Disk Utility after the first failed install. Same error occurs.
Any ideas ?

Finally got mine going. Look at this post from Robert Loney on 6/26/09 at 7:49am.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1981467&tstart=75
I discovered it was slightly incorrect, but easy to overcome. Where he said that the prompt that comes up is C:\WINDOWS\, mine came up as C:\>, which is what it is supposed to be.
I was able to reformat my partition to NTFS and then do the full install.
Hope this helps.

MBP Partition error when booting Windows 7

Hi there,
I'm really pulling my hair out with this problem and woud appreciate any help! I've searched everywhere and not found a solution, and it's infuriating.
The Background - I am using a 2008 MBP running Mountain Lion, and have partitioned my 320GB Hard drive to give 50GB to run Windows 7 on the partition. I have tried Boot Camp but when it reboots to the Windows installation the partition Boot Camp creates will not work as it's not in NTFS mode. Therefore I used Disk Utility to create a NTFS based partition and ran the installation that way. The Windows 7 install seems to work and when it gets to the end, reboots as it should. This is where we get to the annoying part...
The Problem - I hold down Option to choose the startup disk. If I press WINDOWS (the partitioned disk that should now have Windows 7 installed) I get a black screen with 1 blinking cursor. It will not go away, no matter how long I leave it. I've tried multiple times and left if for over 2 hours, and nothing. If I select the CD as the startup disk, I get a message reading "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD", and of course, pressing any amount of keys many many times achieves nothing, and the cursor continues to blink away at the end of the line indefinitely.
I have tried repeating the process over ten times today and have got nowhere. I even tried partitioning with a MS-DOS FAT system, and running a windows XP install disk I have, and the exact same thing happened. It got to the end of the install and rebooted, then when I selected the windows statrup disk, Blinky the b*stard blinking cursor turned up and refused to leave until I cut the power.
There are answers to this problem out there and theres one forum on here discussing the same issue, but their solution didn't work for me.
Please help someone, all I want to do is some retro gaming. No human being should have to endure this much suffering in order to enjoy C&C Red Alert 2.

Windows insists that its Partition Map be set up the Windows way. No exceptions. If you use anything other than BOOT CAMP (or Open Source REFIt) to do the partition setup, it will not work.
WARNING: If you allow Windows to Modify the partition Map directly, Windows will clobber Mac OS X so completely that will require a complete Mac OS X Re-Install. Windows in not a pleasant guest.
Be certain you are using the correct version of BOOT CAMP to match Your Mac OS X, and check for which versions of Windows are supported under it.

Short Freezes on brand new MBP! - very annoying

Every few days i will be using my new mbp 15" (built to order with 4gb ram 3.06ghz and 7200rpm 500gb HD) and i start getting random freezes where the pointer keeps moving but nothing responds. Sometimes it gives my the pinwheel, sometimes it doesn't. the freeze will last for about 10-15 seconds. then it catches up to whatever i clicked or did while it was frozen and works fine for about 45 second to a minute. then the same freezing happens again! and so on. I am having this problem when all i have open is firefox, mail, and itunes(not even in use)! This should not be freezing up such a highly spec'd computer!? whats the deal

Also, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Then Repair Permissions.

New MBP, and am having memory trouble errors with MS Word 2004

Hi,
I know this has been talked about before, but I'm not sure where to post this question. I have a new MBP, with a full version of Word (no previous trial software installed). I have been trying to copy and past basic text files from Yahoo mail, to create a book of emails of sorts. My file size has been approaching my memory capacity (basic setup). Does it not create a swap file and let you keep going if you approach the limits of the onboard memory? I understand it will run a bit slower, but I'm only moving text files and nothing else. Why the proverbial memory/disk full error messages? Does it have anything to do with the software being non universal code?
Do I need to get rid of temporary files, as Im copying and pasting alot? If so, how?
Anyone have the same trouble, and have a clear solution? I could also swear my MPB is running alot slower with Word than I would have expected.
Any help you can give me would b appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

I’ll try to answer your questions briefly without going into too much detail. First of all, I think the error message you are seeing is generated by MS Word and not your operating system. That particular error, and other similar ones, are quite common in Word in particular situations and are the result of a known bug.
As far as I know, there is no fix, but there are several work-arounds. The bug has to do with the number of temporary files that get created when working with large Word files. As you might guess, the larger your file, the larger the temp files, and they will quickly fill up your existing RAM, which then causes the error that generates the message. You have to delete the temp files---you can do that by saving and closing your file, then restart it. There are some scripts you can run, but that is beyond what I want to get into here (and usually is not necessary).
The other problem is that by copying and pasting text from Yahoo Mail, you are not pasting simple text---you are pasting all the HTML code, formatting, and everything else that is contained in that text. And Word saves it all, then adds its own formatting and other code---leading to corrupt files sooner or later.
And then, to make it all worse, if your file is as large as you say it is (close to system memory in size), that is one huge Word file, and Word does not handle really large files very well, especially Word 2004, but all versions of Word, Windows versions included, have trouble with large files.
Word does in fact run slowly on even the newest MacBook Pros because Word is not yet compiled for the Intel Macs and does not run natively as a universal binary but runs under Rosetta, which translates Word to run on Apple computers running Intel CPUs. If you are working with small files, it isn’t too bad, but big files will slow it down to almost a crawl at times, or it will even stop responding for several seconds between each command.
You can work around these problems by breaking your file into much smaller ones, save often (and close the file once in while), and save as a text file, rather than as a doc file.
An alternative is to use another word processor or text editor to save your copied text---there are many that will work as well as or better than Word for what you want to do. Pages is a good alternative----I have to collaborate on Word files every day, and I prefer to work on my MacBook Pro (although I also use Windows-based computers about as frequently, too), and except for the most complex Word files with tables, charts, and pictures, Pages works very well, and you can save the file as a Word document, too, if you need to.
Hope that answers some of your questions----and always remember….I could be wrong.

New MBP 15", Windows installation fails with error 0x80070570 or 0x80070570D

Hey guys!
I finally got a new MBP a few weeks ago, and I wanted to install a Windows partition for some games. I have tried this with several different windows copies (both legal and illegal, and both of windows 7 and windows 8), but to none avail. The exact error message I keep getting is:
Windows 7:
"Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or mossing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the application. Error code: 0x80070570"
Windows 8:
"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the application. Error code: 0x80070570D"
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I've let the bootcamp utility put the disk images on the USB. As I mentioned before, I got the Windows installation images through various legal and illegal sources and made several attempts with each and evere disk image, so that should not be the cause.

My very new MBP 13" freezes. Not a software issue.

Hey,
My brand new MBP (Lion) has a great time for a while, but then freezes with three alarms sounding.    (see pic - I also have video if people want to see.)
The Apple Care people "have not heard of such a thing", have been very helpful, but believing it to be a software compatibility problem, have given me some assorted solutions to try. They mean well.
I run Adobe CS5.5, Filemaker Pro 11, Microsoft Office 2011 and Firefox.
I have deleted StartUp items, (same result), in fact, almost every day I have had the computer home, this has happened.
I have backed up with Time Machine and erased the entire HD, downloaded and clean installed Lion.   Three and a bit Gig later, the same thing has happened, with no software installed except the Lion system software.
This is clearly NOT a software issue and I need a solution very soon. My company purchased this interstate.

That's the strange thing.   Trying to run the Apple Hardware Test after a reboot with 'D' pressed and it ignores the request.
Solution found.    It was bad RAM chips.
Chadstone Apple Store in Melbourne replaced the chips and turned it around for me in under 20 minutes.
Very impressed.   Running like a trooper now.   Thanks Apple. Confidence restored.

Does anyone else's new MBP 13'' 2012 freezes constantly?

I bought the new MBP 13 inch (mid 2012), and the only problem i'm having is that it contantly freezes. I have to hold the power button to fix this. I did the software update Apple offered but didn't fix this problem. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks.

If you bought it directly from apple either online or in one of their apple stores, you have a 14 day grace period in which to try the product and return it if you aren't satisfied. Don't even bother going through tech support if a new product shoes problems straight away, return it and get another.

Kernel Panic and a strange sound on a two days brand new MBP 17" i7

I just got a brand new MBP 17" i7 two days ago. Already had two issues:
1. On the first day while the computer was doing an automatic software update I heard a loud horn type sound coming from within the machine. After that the screen turned grey with the Apple logo and a status bar underneath. After that the machine returned to the "normal" screen and keep working.
2. Yesterday while trying to set up a mighty mouse the computer gave me the kernel panic screen. I turned the computer off and then on again and everything seems fine.
I contact Apple and they gave me two options for my peace of mind:
1. Take the computer to an Apple Genius bar
2. Send the machine back to the store
I own an iMac and a Macbook and this things had never happened before. I don't think it's normal for a brand new computer to do things like that.
This incidents took place within the first two day of receiving the computer, but maybe down the road or as I start installing programs like Final Cut Studio 3 or Office for Mac, things could complicate...
What do you recommend?

Hi there.
The noise you heard and the status bar is usually the result of a firmware update being installed. Nothing to be concerned with and in fact will probably happen again if they just swap out the machine.
The kernel panic may have just been a fluke but you could try running the Apple Hardware Diagnostics that actually shipped with the machine to rule out hardware. If the tests come back ok then you could try to just re-install the OS.
Good luck.
