After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. Is there a fix/test.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up. I've tried inserting the Mac OS X install disc to run the hardware test(Restart and hold down D), But it still does nothing. Just the black screen. Now I can't get the disc out. I've tried holding down the track pad key upon start up but that doesn't work neither.
What do I do??? Please help.

Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

Installed new memory and Macbook Pro wont start.

I bought a total of 8GB from PNY for my mid 2009 MacBook Pro (2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). I installed it and my macbook wont turn on. When I press the power button it just beeps. The LCD doesnt turn on. I reinstalled it a few times to make sure that it is sitting correctly with no luck. I reinstalled my old memory (2x2gb) and it works fine.
The new memory I bought is PNY 8GB (2x 4GB) Bual Channel DDR3 PC3-10666. The package says that it is compatiable with 1333MHz and 1066MHz. This is the listed memory on the PNY website for Mac laptops.
Am I using the worng type of memory? I'm pretty sure my MacBook Pro can take 8GB...right?
THANKS!

One beep indicates no RAM installed. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547.
What happens when you reinstall the old original memory? Does the computer boot then?
You might want to read the information at macsales.com (OWC). Certain models had to be updated to take additional memory.

MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
I appreciate your responses and help.
By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
Hi Kappy,
Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

Installing new memory in MacBook Pro

I just installed a 2GB of memory in the slot where the 1GB was because it was not being recognized in the second slot.
When I first installed the 2GB in the top slot, which was the available slot, I turned the computer on and it didn't recognize the memory. I opened the back up again, and figured out that the memory was not pushed in all of the way, so I made sure that it was pushed in and when I turned the system on the little light was blinking, then I checked it again, and then the computer sounded that it was coming on but never came on, but the light was solid.
In order to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the memory, so I put it in the slot that the 1GB previously occupied, then put the 1GB in the available slot, which was the slot that was open from the beginning. At that point the system didn't boot up. But upon removing the 1GB from the slot and the 2GB being in the slot that the 1GB originally occupied, the system booted up fine.
The problem appears to be the slot.
Please advise.
thanks

I've encountered the same exact problem when trying to install an Axiom Memory Solutions 2GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM [http://www.axiommemory.com/config/products/branded/MA347G/A-AX.aspx] for my 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro. It is currently up and functioning with the 2GB memory stick in the inmost slot alone but does not allow for both 1GB and 2GB memory sticks to be installed at once in either order of configuration. I have yet to test to see if it will function with the 2GB memory stick in the outermost slot alone, in which case if it were to function in this configuration I would conclude the problem to be caused by the combination of the 1GB and 2GB memory sticks.
Every bit of information I had read prior to making the decision to purchase this 2GB memory stick assured me that my version of the MacBook Pro would function under a 2GB/1GB configuration, but my findings here prove otherwise.
In order to determine what step needs to be taken in order to obtain 3GB of overall RAM, I need the following to be ansered:
Does my version of the MacBook Pro in fact allow for a 2GB/1GB memory stick configuration? If this is the case, which 2GB memory stick must I obtain [in order to assure I'm purchasing the correct memory stick - this time - I require the utmost specificity]. If this is NOT the case, I must therefore purchase another 2GB memory stick to accompany the one I just purchased in order to obtain the maximum 3GB RAM for my version of the MacBook Pro [that only allows for 3GB maximum even if 4GB of RAM are intalled]. I would naturally purchase the exact same 2GB Axiom memory stick I previously purchased, but I need to know if this configuration will in fact allow my MacBook Pro to function.
I apologize for my lack of brevity, but I would prefer to be specific and not have to deal with this problem too much longer.
Thanks,
Christopher

How to increase disk read and write speed after installing new SSD (2009 Macbook Pro)? Why not as fast as advertised?

Hi everyone,
I just installed a Crucial MX10512 GB SSD into my 2009 Macbook Pro. It's definitely much faster, but the read and write disk speed is around 200 Mb/s for both versus the 300-500 Mb/s that the SSD advertised. Any ideas as to why? And is there anything I can do to make it faster? Before I installed it, it was between 80-90 Mb/s.
Specs:
- currently have about 460 of 511 GB of storage available
- am using 2GB of memory
- running on 10.10.2 Yosemite
Thanks!

Drew, forgive me for being so computer-incompetent but how would I boot from another OS? And shouldn't I be checking the read speeds on my current OS (Yosemite) anyways because I want to know how the SSD is performing on the OS I use? And finally, what kind of resources would it be using that would be slowing down my SSD?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm not a Macbook wiz by any means!
You could make a clone of your internal OS onto an external disk. Hopefully you already have a backup of some form
A clone is a full copy, so you can boot from it. It makes a good backup as well as being useful to test things like this.
Carbon Copy Cloner will make one or you can use Disk Utility to 'restore' your OS from the internal disk to an external one.
Ideally the external disk is a fast disk with a fast 'interface' like Thunderbolt, Firewire 800 or USB3. USB2 can work, but it is slow & may effect the test.
You connect the clone, hold alt at startup & select the external disk in the 'boot manager'. When the Mac is finished booting run the speed tester.
Maybe this one…
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/blackmagic-disk-speed-test/id425264550
Test the internal & compare to the previous tests
A running OS will do the following on it's boot disk…
Write/ read cache files from running apps
Write/ read memory to disk if memory is running low
Index new files if content is changing or being updated
Copy files for backing up (Time Machine or any other scheduled tasks)
Networking can also trigger read/ write on the disk too.
You may not have much activity that effects a disk speed test, but you can't really be sure unless that disk is not being used for other tasks.
Disk testing is an art & science in itself, see this if you want to get an idea …
http://macperformanceguide.com/topics/topic-Storage.html
Simply knowing that it's about twice the speed would be enough to cheer me up

After installing mavericks on my macbook pro my laptop keeps rebooting

How can I find out what might be happening to cause this behaviour?
Is anyone else seeing this odd behaviour?
I didn't have a booting issue before installing Mavericks, since installing I have had at least 4 random reboots. After logging in, I get a message that the system booted unexpectedly and I uploaded the info to Apple. One time it showed the reboot occured during the wakup from sleep.
As a side question, how can I tell the system to NOT relaunch all applications that where running before.
Mike P.

Hi Clinton (and original poster/responders)

After installing osx mavericks my macbook pro restarts all the time

after i installed osx mavericks my mackbook pro always restarts again and again

After installing firefox 4 on macbook pro, firefox 3.6 comesback

First, we love Firefox! However, even though I've installed Firefox 4 repeatedly on my Macbook Pro, OS X 10.6.6, when I close my session by clicking "Quit Firefox" , I get back Firefox 3.6.16 next time I open Firefox. I.e., Firefox 4 doesn't replace 3.6.16 permanently after the initial session is closed. This never happened with other updates. Please fix! Thank you :-) Suzanne

Answer to this is to use Finder to go to the Applications folder and then drag the old Firefox to the wastebasket. Then try installing the new firefox again and it should work.

System not booting after installing 2010-006 on MacBook Pro.

Today I've installed security update 2010-006 onto a current model, 13" MacBook Pro (the 2.4GHz one if that's relevant) and now it won't boot, just the spinning circle.
If I put it into verbose mode then I get "no suitable image found" and then "the system bootstrapper has crashed: trace/bpt trap".
If I try and boot from the Snow Leopard install DVD then it comes up with "you need to restart your computer" and I can't get any further (this is a working DVD as I've tried it in another machine, and I've also tried booting the installer from USB with the same error).
Is there anything I can do? The hard drive seems fine, and I can reinstall it if I must, but naturally want my data back, as though I have a backup, it's a few weeks old now.

After installing Mavericks OS, My MacBook Pro is Slow and weak?

Recently I upgraded to Mavericks OS system from Mountain Lion. I use MacBook Pro 17" of 2011 with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7.
Mavericks supposed to be faster and saves more battery life. But it was not in my case. I do most of my work with Ms. Office 2011.
1) I find the Finder is extremely slow to respond. It takes more than One minute to open the folder files.
2) I find the Ms.Office is very slow. Powerpoint slides are NOT showing the content on the column view. The system battery goes down very quickly with Powerpoint.
3) The battery does NOT last more than 5 hours, comparatively it was usually be NINE HOURS.
I have reinstalled the Mavericks as advised by the Apple Expert from Apple Inc.
Still the Problem exist. What do I do?

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

After installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 2009 (japanese keyboard) the layout doesn't work. I mean if I press the @ button the è symbol comes out. I tried to change the layout in Preferences but doesn't work. Could anyone help me please?

Hi there
after installing Mavericks on my macbookpro 2009 (Japanese keyboards) the layout doesn't work anymore. I mean, if I press the "@" button the "è" symbol comes out. I did already change the layout in the Preferences but it didn't work.
Could anyone help me please?

Apple has changed the way Kotoeri keyboard layouts work. You should be able to get normal behavior if you activate the US layout and switch to that just before using Kotoeri. Here is also an Apple note on the topic with another suggestion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5284
Be sure to tell Apple you want this changed back to the way if was in 10.8 and earlier via

If you know Japanese well, you might ask on the Japanese discussions whether someone has found a better fix for this:
