Can't update my 2012 Macbook Pro (OS X Lion 10.7.5) to Mavericks
I have a 2012 Mac Book Pro, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and as for my harddrive I have 664GB free out of 749GB.
Once the download for the Mavericks update at the app store completes, I get the message:
An error occurred while extracting files from the package “enaqmkpcnihdtuqw.pkg”.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only write in NTFS drives in Windows, not OS X or Linux or any other UNIX-based system. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party application as Paragon NTFS.
Another possibility you have is to format the external drive in a format that OS X can read and write in it, like HFS+ (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)), FAT32 (MS-DOS (FAT)) or exFAT, but this is longer and you need a lot of time to back up your external drive files

Can Google Chrome cause 2012 Macbook Pros to restart themselves
I just recently bought a 15 inch 2012 macbook pro. I installed Google Chrome, and my computer began restarting itself from time to time. A black pop-up appears, saying that my computer needs to restart, in multiple languages. Is Google Chrome the cause of this?
Google Chrome can cause untold problems on the 2012 MBP's. I'd suggest either ditching Chrome or using Chrome Canary - https://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs/ - some have reported good luck using Canary.

Can the entry-level 2012 Macbook Pro i5 handle CS5/CS6?
I'm willing to purchase the Mid-2012 13" Macbook Pro i5 right now, but am still wary as to whether the processor can handle design work such as Photoshop and Corel Paint Essentials. I'm not worried about ram as I'll upgrade it later if need be.
I've only ever used those two programs as a hobby, but have applied for a Graphic Design job and want to be prepared for it, and if not it, any opportunities in the future. My current Macbook is at no point able to handle these sorts of programs any more as it's getting beyond 5 years of age with only 1GB of ram.You should be fine. A 15" with a discrete graphics card would speed things up a bit, but if you're not doing any heavy-duty Photoshop work, you'll be good to go. As a graphic designer, I feel that even a 15" screen is too small to work in InDesign - which is why I purchased a 17" monitor. If you upgrade the RAM to 8-16GB, you'll be ready for any RAM intensive applications, however. I don't use the CS6 Master suite, only the CS6 Design and Web Premium suite, but it runs very fast on my late 2011 15" with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.
1 GB of RAM, as I'm sure you're aware, just isn't going to cut it. I'm certain that you'd be happy with the 13" MBP running any and all CS6 applications.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks
I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.

that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here -

Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210
How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer? My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC. I just switched to mac. The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP. HP has no software drivers for me to download. Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software. However, there are no updates when I try that. I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use. Help!!!
Are you sure it has no usb port?

I'm buy MACBOOK PRO 13" on 20 JULY 2012 @ apple store fifth avenue
Part Number MD101LL/A
Serial number C0******DTY3
They say can download update free for program OS X Mountain Lion when arrived
But when i download why it charge to me...
I want my money back if not i want to return MACBOOK PRO 13" and will buy New One
Best regard
<Edited by Host>If you registered your computer after June 11th, you were entitled to a free upgrade to Mountain Lion. See http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/.
If you went ahead an purchased ML before recieving your redemption code then you're just out $20. Not a big deal - you should have been instructed on how to get a redemption code for the OS X update.

2012 Macbook Pro running slowly since mavericks update
Since updating to Mavericks when it was first released my macbok pro has been running very slowly. Starting up apps takes longer, hangs occur when switching between apps or even browser tabs, when i close the lid the laptop won't go to sleep but instead heats up and i can't listen to a song on itunes the whole way through without several 20 or so second pauses. I have tried repair permissions (this oddly improves performance when its running), resetting NVRAM/PRAM. resetting SMC and a Hardware test but nothing worked/ no problems identified. The problems still occur in safe mode and when i added a new user. I also removed any apps or software that could be causing it such as chrome but this didn't help.
Similar problems occured the last time i update the mac, though they were much more severe and lead to the hard drive being replaced at the apple store. It had been running smoothly until the mavericks update.
After looking at similar posts i took the liberty of providing the following information:

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you have tried a lot of good troubleshooting steps. Since the behavior persists in safe mode and a new user, and you have effectively ruled out third party software conflicts, I recommend reinstalling Mavericks next:

Can anyone give a list of upgradeable performance parts for a mid 2012 macbook pro 13"?
I have a non Retina display mid 2012 macbook pro that I want to do a home refurbishment and mass upgrade on, the processor and graphics cards are both good as is but RAM gets a bit bottlenecked with only 8gb, Id like to be able to replace the built in speakers and possibly upgrade the optical/super drive as well If thats not too large an Endeavor.
I'm mostly a comp work virgin, so I want to make sure what I want to do isn't too tricky

Software Update issues on 2012 MacBook Pro 15"
Picked up my shiny new MBP today and set about installing everything on it, and running software updates.
It's currently running 10.7.4.
The software updates were glacially slow, but I waited, did other work on my iMac and eventually, they completed.
Then installed iWork '09, and run software update again.
Again, the software update was slow, so I tried downloading the iWork 6 / 9.1 patch manually.
17KB/s. Connected via wifi. Said it would take an hour to download a 78Mb patch.
I tried downloading the same file on my iMac.
50KB/s.
Tried running a test download from my ISP's test site on the MBP.
634KB/s - ie: normal.
I've since downloaded (on the MBP!) patches for Office, a bunch of different apps, and download speeds were on par with my iMac, and what I expect from my network in general.
Right now it's downloading the Jave JRE from Apple via ethernet and is, once again, glacially slow.
So this isn't a "Why is my MacBook Pro is slow on WiFi?" discussion, it's a "Why are my downloads from Apple servers so slow, and why is my 2012 MacBook Pro with Lion almost 1/4 the speed of my 2007 iMac with SL?"
And am I the only one?Hey, thanks for your idea, but it seems to have set me back even further.
Initially, I couldn´t use the disk utilites on the start up disks I have, as the Disk Ultility kept crashing. So, I connected my MBP to another mac (G4) in target disk mode and used the other G4´s disk utility to repartition the disk as GPT, as it was set to Apple partition.
So the disk is now Mac OS extended Journaled and the partition scheme is GUID partition Table.
I then disconnected the two macs and booted the MBP up from the startup disk again to run the installation.
But, now, the installation doesn´t even see the harddrive at all.
So, I double checked the harddrive is fine. By connecting it a second time to the G4, in target disk mode, and ran dick verification and repairs..... the G4 can see the drive and it´s telling me everything is perfect.
I really think this is a software issue, rather than a hard-drive one, as I seem to be going around the houses, repartioning and reformatting the hard-drive which seems to be working perfectly when connected to any other computer.
Any other thoughts? -
I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is slow in starting up and loads a number of probrams. How can I fix the problem?
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the slowness still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
Reboot normally and test. -
Can I capture video through a mini display port on a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro?
I want to run my xbox through a mini displayport adapter into my Mid 2012 MacBook pro to record gameplay. I understand that at one point the 27" iMac's supoorted this feature to an extent. I'm open to other options for inputs, ie: composite cables from the xbox or even VGA. I own a capture card already I'm just interested to see if there is a way around using it to save space and the mess of extra cables.
