Can the cover on the macbook pro be closed while playing music?
can the cover on the macbook pro be closed while playing music?
Air is drawn in through the keyboard for cooling, so I would recommend leaving it open 1/2-1" so the air can move.

How to continue to play iTunes even after the cover of my MacBook Pro is closed?
I would like to play iTunes in my MacBook Pro during travel. As it is better and safer to keep the MacBook closed during travel, I would like the iTunes to continue to play. How is it to be achieved?
There is no easy solution.
An iPod will do the job.

Firefox quits when closing the cover of my MacBook Pro (putting it to sleep)
Self-explanatory (see title). I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.3). Whenever I close the lid to put the MacBook Pro to sleep, Firefox quits. I don't think it crashes or hangs; when I open the lid later, Firefox is just not running, and must be re-opened.
This is incredibly annoying, because I have to connect through a proxy server at work, and this results in me having to Restore Previous Session, re-authenticate, and then wait for 10-25 tabs (my To-Do list) to be reloaded. Agonizing. Help?Hi,
When I look at your system details, it does have a crash ID on it (bp-0bffc60f-9713-426c-b7b3-214962120301), so you might find some help in the article about crashes, where it describes starting Firefox in safe mode and then seeing if the problem still happens:
[[Firefox crashes]]

com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily 1.3.0Very great point, so after exhausting all other options (repair disk permissions and booting up with install disc and repairing the disk) with no success, I did just what you recommended and erased the whole hard drive and re-installed the OS.
Ran into this problem a few times while attempting to erase the hard drive: the erasing/formatting would fail when the hard drive would randomly disappear from the list of drives!!!!
And as you can suspect - even with a freshly wiped hard drive, it STILL is freezing!! It's not a hard freeze like everything stops working, or I get the grey screen of death...the beach ball just keeps on spinning, Command+Tab doesn't allow me to switch between apps, but I can move the cursor around, adjust window positions, etc.
So here's what I'm suspecting - there is a hardware problem with the hard drive in that it will suddenly shut off, but leaving the OS still displaying, but of course not allowing the user to do anything. If this is the case, I'm assuming a replacement hard drive would be in order.
Is this likely a hard drive problem, logic board problem, over-heating problem, or what? Any insight would be extremely helpful.
Thanks again!!! -
The black plastic hinge cover on my Macbook Pro has a loose left side, it feels like it's not against the hinges like the other side is. When I push down on the cover it feels like there's empty space between the cover and what I assume to be the hinges. I was wondering if this is something I can repair myself or if I need to take it to Apple? I have coverage for hardware issues until April 2012.
If its covered just take it in. If you tinker with it and something else happens to it you void the warranty. My philosophy is, if there is a warranty, use it.m that's why they were created. To protect the buyer in cases like yours

HT204347 is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found?
Is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found. I purchased this on Ebay and it functioned fine for 6 months and then it comes on with a blank screen.
On mine at least, it's etched into the bottom cover. It's very tiny and on the screen hinge side of the casing.

The sound on my macbook pro will not project anything if I plug in headphones I can hear but when I take them out and try and turn up the volue the speaker is grey and the bars under it are white with a no volume sign ( circle with a line through it) how do I fix this ?
Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Highlight Internal Speakers
Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
Audio Devices window
Side Bar
Click the Built-in Output.
Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
Play sound effects through:
Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device". -
Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?
I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

My MacBook Pro 17 (2009) died. Pushing the power button gets no response. I had had problems with it for some time turning it on, it usually taking many many tries. Plus when I'd try to do a restart after updating software, instead of doing so it'd shut off super quick with a *pop* sound. There was never any of the typical hard drive going bad sounds I've read about and seen in videos. Since it has refused to turn on I've gone through every suggestion I can find to get it to turn back on. Unhook the battery and try starting from just the power cord; the shorting the power pads move; some thing undoing the battery, counting to 10, and then the next steps now escape my memory, but doing more counting to 10 inbetween; unplugging the battery and leaving it sit for 2 days with no power cord plugged in either, then hook it to a power cord and turn it back on; and so many more.
Also the symptoms just before this fiasco were as follows: I had a CD in the internal drive and was browsing through the images on it via the handy previewer using the space bar. Then I decided to quite, tried ejecting the CD by dragging the icon to the trash, and nothing. I tried again. The same. Then I pushed on the eject key, with the ejct icon popping up on the screen momentarily, but still nothing. Then it appreared as though some things worked and other things were not working. In my frustration I went to the Apple menu and clicked restart with a wince knowing it was going to take forever to turn back on. It did the usual quickly off with a *pop* and made super short lame attempts to turn back on when using the power button. Of course the CD kept trying to spin for a split second and then the little indicator light on the front would go out, then no noise at all.
Since I do not believe it is the hard drive (of course I could be wrong not being a Mac nerd at all), I was wondering if I can switch the hard drive to my Macbook Pro 15 (2006)?
I tried this, but it would not read the hard drive. Just a blank grey screen. If it is possible to do this swap, what are the exact steps to do? Please answer like I'm completely illiterate on this, because I really am. I'm super scared of losing everything on the dead MacBook's hard drive. Yeah yeah, I know: then why have I not been backing things up? I had the week prior. Believe me I WILL be doing it daily from now on if I get this mess straightened out!

I would rather shoot myself for messing up, then to trust someone who "says" they can fix my Mac down here.
I checked out a company owned by ebay that is the same down here, called MercadoLibre. There are quite a few adapters listed there. I'd like to give you links for some and was wondering if you minded taking a look to tell me if any seem to fit the bill. Some have specs in English, others don't. (Google translater is my friend!)

These are all cost effective enough that I don't care the price - cheap, expensive - whichever will work the BEST!
I've also looked for the 7200 rpm HDD, and although I found some, I'll be danged if they are not 3.0, instead of the 2.5 that I have. Grrrr! I was willing to spend the $90 for 1tb... or being the non-techie that I am, can this 3.0 go into my 2006 MBP??
Just so you can see what all is listed right now:
http://listado.mercadolibre.com.uy/7200-rpm-hdd-2.5-macbook-pro
Another newbie question: How do I check what the amount if RAM is presently installed in it? (I might be a greenhorn, but I take pride in not being a dumbie and I learn when taught)
Right now, I'm willing to spend almost anything. I want a few files that are on the HDD at the moment that I was stupid and did not backup on my external. One file I worked on all day due to the dimensions I had to design it at and each effect took a long time to render. I really don't want to do that one again!.. I'm also willing to spend anything that won't cost me the price of a new iMac. Figure that should be the next one I buy that is affordable, but won't be overworked like the MBP was.
Once again, thanks much for all of your help! -

How can I transfer a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro? In theory, I should be able to keep my albums together this way (once uploaded to macbook pro, i can easily file them into a new album on macbook pro.) Not working for me!

Hi all,
Goal: Backing up photos!
Hope: Transfer ALBUMS from ipad to external drive (via macbook pro)
Is this possible? Or will I have to create a file name for each of my thousands of photos?
