Brand new MacBook Pro (Lion) and Multiple Applications are quitting unexpectedly including iCal

I have a brand new MacBook Pro and for some reason applications, in particular iCal, seem to quit unexpextedly all the time.  Not sure why but I am using iCal for both iCloud and Google Apps for my business.
Anyone else having this issue or have some solutions I could try?
Thanks!

ds store is right: the machine is obviously faulty. Tell them about the card reader problem and get the machine exchanged. Don't let them fob you off with a service. I had a problem with the DVD drive, the trackpad and the card reader in the first year of my 2009 MBP and each time I let them get away with 'servicing' until the Warranty ran out, and I now have to use a cable for the camera, can only use 'tap' (not click) on the trackpad and have to use an external DVD writer.
Like you, I'd had a previous Apple laptop (2004 iBook) that could take a direct hit from a Scud missile and still function perfectly (indeed, its still going now) , so I was not as insistent as I should have been.
Apple machines are great, but every now and again you get a dud.

  • USB net stick will not work and not recognized by brand new macbook pro lion

    Hi and thank you to anyone that can help!
    I just bought a new macbook pro with OX 10.7 Lion the other day.  I have an Alcatel x220 USB internet net stick that I used to use with my previous computer with Windows 7.
    When I insert the usb stick, the setup driver is supposed to come up, so I can install it on the Macbook.  But nothing comes up, and the macbook does not even recognize that I have inserted the net stick.
    I also downloaded the program, and the drivers, and still nothing.  The apple people tried fixing it for a few hours today, and they can't figure it out either.  Same with the cell phone company that provides me with the net stick.  No one has any idea how to fix it.
    Basically, anyone have any idea how to get the USB net stick Alcatel x220 to work with a new macbook pro OS Lion 10.7?!?!?!?!?  This is driving me crazy, and I would really appreciate anyones' help!  Thank you!!
    Daniel

    thanks I appreciate your response.  Yeah I read something about the 64 bit problem.  I found this link and at the bottom there is a driver update or something to make it work with 64 bit.  But I can't seem to get it to work right, and even could the apple tech people.  This is the link:  http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/products/mobile_broadband/ot-x220.html
    Also, do you have any idea which USB sticks there are that are compatible with the 64 bit Lion?
    Thanks again

  • Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

    Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • 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 on all open. why?

    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.

  • Snow leopard to Lion Upgrade on a brand new Macbook Pro

    My brand new macbook pro (bought september 2011) came with snow leopard installed. Am I really expected to buy a Lion upgrade for a brand new product?

    Not required.
    Some have upgraded and want desperately to reinstall SL.  Some are happy with the move.  Some are not completely happy but will live with it and adapt.
    Read here for the "new features" to see if the move is worth the risk to you http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html.
    Regardless, first thing you need to do is get a mac-formated drive and make a TimeMachine or CarbonCopyClone (download for free) backup.  The only common and provable issue with Lion upgrade is that those who do NOT make a backup regret not havng it when/if they reinstall SL. 

  • I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

    I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

    The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
    What can I do ..??

  • Aperture 3.1.3 crashes on opening. Running Lion on brand new MacBook Pro

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, i7 Core, running Lion) and am using 3.1.3 Aperture. I have same issue as some others have mentioned elsewhere in the forum - Aperture is no longer opening, all I get is an error message. A few days ago, Aperture opened just fine (I was running Lion with the 3.1.3 version of Aperture then too), but now for whatever reason it is not. I've tried removing the preferences list (com.apple.Aperture.plst), rebooting, reinstalling the update (3.1.3), and still nothing. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    Guess I should've done a little more research before I posted this but, found this, which did the trick:
    For those with the same problem:
    1. Navigate to: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
    2. Delete the PluginManager
    3. Get a new copy of the PluginManager. (You can copy one from a friends macbook) or use the one hosted here: http://qvenon.com/files/PluginManager.zip

  • Brand new MacBook Pro updated to Lion now it is so slow

    Hi Everyone,
    I have just purchased a brand new MacBook Pro, upon setting it up it promted me to update software which I did so it's currently running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. My server provider is Optus and I live in the heart of Sydney.
    I am new to the world of Mac's so don't really know wether my problem is opertator caused or not...How ever I currently have such slow internet I am unable to even watch you tube videos. It takes over a minute just to load pages and I am feeling a huge amount of frustration as I have a brand new computer and am on an expensive all inclusive package by one of the most recognised providers in Australia yet am getting rediculously slow internet.
    Can anyone suggest what the cause of this may be and and changes I should make.
    Thanks

    Have you installed any programs since you got the Mac? Also look to the right of the page and you'll see a list of posts under 'More Like This'. Have a read trough them to se if you can find solutions on issues similar to yours.

  • Brand new macbook pro and it doesn't have garageband on it?

    i recently brought a brand new macbook pro and it doesn't have garageband on it? do i have to do something to get it? i think it was on here but now its gone?
    i have imovie and iphoto

    If you haven' tried, look in your Applications folder because according to Apple GB comes pre installed.
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_pro
    If it's not in your Applications folder launch the App Store.
    Locate the GB app.
    Instead of the price just under the GB icon on the left see if it says:  Install

  • I bought a brand new MacBook Pro Mid 2014, and my battery cycle count is on 2!!

    As I said on the question, a brand new MacBook Pro I bought recently which I haven't even put on charge yet already has a cycle count of 2!
    I'm just curious if this is normal and I want to make sure that I received a brand "new" one not a refurbished one.
    Did anyone else order a new laptop and have cycle charge of 2 or more and is this normal or not?

    The factory charges the battery, one cycle, they may then test that particular MacBook Pro as part of the production testing and it ends up with another cycle.  Two cycles is not something to worry about.  If you bought the unit from an Apple store or directly from Apple, it will not be a refurbished MBPr unless they specifically said it was.  They don't do things like that.

  • Why did my brand new macbook pro come with Snow Leopard instead of Lion?

    I JUST bought a brand new Macbook Pro assuming that it would come with Lion, but it didn't. My brother who just bought an Air the day before me got Lion with his computer. Shouldn't new computers come with new software? I'm confused. Can anyone help me?

    You qualify for a free upgrade if purchased on or after June 6th.  Follow these instructions to download your free upgrade.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

    Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
    Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
    Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
    Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
    I am running Snow leopard.
    I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
    I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
    Thanks

    Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
    The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
    Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
    What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
    I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
    Hope that helps.

  • Trying to set up my brand new MacBook Pro and it does not connect with the wifi network I have selected for this purpose. Nothing wrong with the wifi as both my iPad and iPhone are happily connected. Suggestions for connecting to the wifi network accepted

    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.
