Brand new macbook pro 15" when connected to external LCD display in high resolution ,flickers often
Hi,
I have brand new macbook pro 15" with retina display.
I have connected external LCD display (Samsung B2230) using Apple VGA adaptor & thunderbolt port. But LCD display flickers quite oftenly. I read community blogs where many macbook pro users like me are facing similiar issue.
There is no problem with LCD display as it works fine with Lenova laptops.
Can anybody please provide me the solution to this problem.?
Regards,
Sam

I literally just opened my brand new MacBook Pro, and when I attempted to download the OS X Mavericks, a screen popped up and told me I couldn't complete action due to a host of reasons...I just took the **** thing out of the box, what gives?!
Your machine already has Mavericks installed. Why are you trying to download it?

Brand New MacBook Pro Freezes When Playing Games
My sister recently received a brand new MacBook Pro courtesy of the University of Arizona and already she is having problems. When my sister plays a Java based game utilizing the Open Gl graphics plugin her computer will sometimes freeze after the graphics become distorted. during the freeze only the mouse will move and everything else is unresponsive, the only solution is to shut of the computer using the power button. All the updates have been installed and this doesn't happen any other time then when playing that game. This neither happens on her PC nor does it mine playing the same game. I'm not sure what the problem is and I would appreciate any help.
Is this Java based game Runescape? I experience the same crashes, ive tried using other things in-game other than the OpenGl and i still experience crashes, much more often when i have iTunes running while trying to play. Ive never had problems like this before, even while using older computers with much less memory, etc.. This is my first mac and id have to say it's not leaving a good impression. I planned to be able to play some games on this and consider Runescape requires very low CPU this is kind of sad that a Mac can't process it without crashing. Ive been reading lots of similar posts online and it sounds like Apple should be worried more about customer satisfaction than their own stocks. Hope something works out soon!!

MacBook Pro crashes when connecting via external modem
My new MacBook Pro crashes when I try to connect to the Internet via an external modem. Is it a SW or HW problem? In the latter case might it by the computer or the modem (original).

MacBook Pro 1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.6)This is Bob Simpson again from Paris. I followed the advice given in this forum and took out the set of HP printer drivers from the drivers pre-installled in my MacBook Pro and put them on my desktop. After that, the modem worked perfectly. If I want to use my HP Laserjet 1200 printer, I plug it into a USB port on the computer, the computer recognizes it and prints. If I want to use the modem again, I have to take that printer out of my list of printers in the print center. This is a bit of a pain in the neck, but it works. No one at any of the Apple distributers or Apple Care centers was able to figure all this out. Our forum did the job and we should get free awards from Apple, like the installation of the update on all our computers that will settle this problem. Otherwise, my BMacBook pro works like a dream. Many thanks to all of you and jackplug, you don't have to throw away your printer.

Brand new Macbook Pro won't connect to wireless internet
Hi all, I'm relatively new to the whole mac thing, but I have a problem. I got a macbook pro for college last week, and have been struggling to connect to the internet ever since. I notice other's are having issues too.
So here's what's going on:
When I set my pro to using DHCP, I get no IP address, or sometimes get the self assigned address 169.etc. Yet when I put in a static address, subnet mask and router info I've found for my network, It says connected but when i click on safari no internet. I've run diagnostic in safari and all the lights go green (under manual ip etc) except internet and server (which are yellow). What's going on here? It can't be the airport card, because my pro connects seamlessly to my college's wifi, my ethernet cable and rogers internet stick. So is it my modem/router combo (using a siemens SE567), or is it because I'm running 10.6.4?
Please help, I have to use the internet for uploading videos and other heavy internet usages that my internet stick can't do (unless I want a $100 bill each month), and being tethered to my ethernet is kind of a bother.
*I should also note I have a pc laptop that runs fine off the network (siemens se567), though setting it up also gave me issues.*
ThanksI'd suggest you repost over in MacBook Pro forum, and in Using OS X Networking.
There are Apple technotes on troubleshooting networking and setup.

Brand new macbook pro freezing when on the internet and won't fix itself
Three times tonight I have been on the internet and out of nowhere my macbook pro has frozen. I am unable to move the mousepad or click on anything or click out of the applications. I have to power off the computer to make it work again. How can i fix this? I have only had the computer for 5 days and I am confused at how this is happening already.
Take it back and get a new unit. If they say "We Will Fix it' then Return it for FULL REFUND, you have 14 days from day of purchase to return it No Questions Asked, and then buy another New unit.

My friend bought on my advice a macbook pro. He has no internet connection at home. Getting started with the macbook pro, we can't skip the internet connection information box.
This may seem a little strange in a www organised world, but he only wants to use the macbook for storing photos and music.
Is there something we overlooked, or is internet connection a must?
ThxThere should be a place to select "Other network options" or some such wording, where you can select "This Mac does not connect to the internet."

Brand new MacBook Pro won't connect to WiFi after one day.
I got my MBP replaced by Apple on Sunday. I used it a bit that night, and let migration assistant transfer everything over from by backup drive overnight. I used it for a few more hours the next day, no problems. I brought my computer over to my friend's room (we're in a dorm building) and tried to connect to her WiFi. Whenever I try to connect to a network, there's an "!" over the WiFi bars in the status bar, and in Network Preferences, under WiFi, it say "No IP Address."
I am having the same issue in my Windows partition as well, which leads me to suspect this is a hardware issue. I am still able to view WiFi networks. I just cannot connect. Any suggestions? Thanks.Hmmm...yes, there should be, although resetting the modem isn't hard (unless they mean something along the lines of resetting to factory settings). I wonder, tho, if the modem is old enough that something in your new computer is not communicating with it.
Can you connect with an ethernet cable? That might help you figure out if it really is a problem with your modem. You might also check with your internet service provider. I realize not all of them can deal with Macs, but if you rent the modem, they might be able to get you a newer model and if not, they may be able to make a suggestion. -
Brand new MacBook Pro OS X Lion turns off when iPad connected
I have a brand new MacBook Pro and I connected mt iPad to it tonight. I have connected it once before sync it when I got the MacBook. Tonight every time I tried to connect it the MacBook would turn off (poof!) When it turned on, It came up with a USB disabled as something draining too much power message. The laptop is plugged into the mains directly at the wall socket.
I tried a different cable and it causes the message or shuts off the laptop. I used the same cable in my husband's iPhone and it is working.
Is it the MacBook or the iPad? It is a 1st gen still under warranty. What should I do?
All help will be appreciated. I reset the PRAM already.
ThanksCan you run an Internet Speed Test? Reboot first and don't open any programs but Safari to perform this.
You can use any website, here's one listed below:

I messed up badly by trying to restore my brand new macbook pro by doing restart then command R and choose disc utility repair now when I start ,all I get is the white screen with a folder and a question mark,What can I do???help please
Can you still boot to the Recovery partition using Command and R whilst booting? Or did you wipe the Recovery partition as well?
If your Recovery partition is still intact, you can simply boot to it and reinstall the OS via the Internet. If you wiped the Recovery partition, you can hold down Command, option and R keys whilst booting and boot into true Internet Recovery mode. You'll be able to reformat the hard drive, erasing all partitions (format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a dingle GUID partition) and then reinstall the OS that shipped with your machine.
Note that you should use a physical Ethernet connection when restoring over the Internet - it's three times slower if you use wifi.
Try your Recovery partition first and if that doesn't work, use Internet Recovery.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro and I'm trying to connect to the private wifi at my house however, I need the IP address. Everywhere I go to find it, the adress is blank. What do I do ?
Your Mac won't have an IP address, at least not a valid IP, until you actually connect it to your home LAN. Not sure why you think you need the IP, you don't.
To connect to your home WiFi you need to know the SSID name, IE the name of your home WiFi, and the password for it. Once you have those two things click the little antenna looking icon on the right side of the menu bar and select your home WiFi name and click connect. A dialog box will pop up asking for the password, type in the password and click OK/Connect/Whatever. -
I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?
You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for. -
Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.
Fixing this is a two step process:
1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."
2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules. -
I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
Thank you!Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:
