CuteFTP Issues on a MBP

Is anyone else using CuteFTP for Mac ? If so, have you noticed any mis-reported file sizes on downloaded items ?
For example: I downloaded a load of RAR archive files and a couple of times a 14.3MB file reported itself as 32GB with the associated OS X hard drive max limit warning....

I used CuteFTP for windoze but found the Mac version to be "glitchy". Switched to Transmit....perfect! Plus I love the little truck icon...

Issue at start (MBP Retina late 2013)

Hi everyone, I have some little issues with my MBP: after the start it takes about 18 seconds to show the files in the folder. No coloured wheel, I just have to wait. Is this normal? Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

Luca,
If you're talking about when you first turn the machine on, it has to load up the operating system. 18 seconds is actually pretty fast. Sounds like your Mac is fine.

Ongoing crashing and power issues (late 2011 MBP)

Hi everyone,
I'm having some really irritating ongoing issues with my 15" unibody MBP, which I purchased new from Apple in Dec 2011. All okay 'til now apart from a hard drive replacement in May when the other one suddenly died (no reason given).
What's happening is that I will be doing some low key activity - internet etc (not overheating nor fans on) - and it will suddenly switch off in a second, almost like it's short circuited. Nothing like the kind of delayed, slow shut down when running out of battery, just a ping without a 'ping'. It then won't respond to being turned on via power button, the battery lights on the side won't light up, and the magsafe light is also off and not charging. This has happened four times now.
1) First time (late June), I was watching a video on the net, mbp plugged in at wall, at least 80-100% charged. Went to connect my iphone via usb, got as far as plugging the usb (unattached to iphone) and it went off immediately. No response as above to anything. Took it to the Apple store the next day, no response to being plugged in there so they theorised that it was the logic board and took it in overnight. The next day I get a phone call from one of the techies backstage saying he'd gone to plug it in and after about 20 mins it began to charge up fine, albeit completely drained of battery. He said he'd done a hardware test etc and everything appeared fine. So I went to get pick it up, they replaced the magsafe saying that must have been the source.
2) Less than a week later, it happens again, this time nothing attached to the usb, and as far as I know before it shut off, charged/charging in wall. No response for at least a day at home of me trying it in various power outlets etc. Just dead to the world. I take it to the genius bar the next day, they plug it in with one of their chargers and it lights up immediately, once again saying it'd been fully drained of power. Again they do a hardware test in front of me, show me everything is fine. This time they replace the plug end of my charger and send me off.
3) Two weeks later (last Monday 9th), I go in to my room and find it on my desk dead to the world. Plugged in, this time in a different house (so no chance of faulty wiring in walls of first). I can see a dim flickering light in magsafe but not enough to charge it, it seems. Won't respond to my attempts to turn on nor plug in around the house. On Thursday its still unresponsive, so I travel 2 hours on the train to my nearest Apple store, only for it to light up soon as they plug it in at the bar, and once again 0% battery. Guy tells me that it'll be my SMC 'getting confused' because I don't shut it down enough (I mostly let it sleep). He says it starts working again after 2 days because the SMC must be resetting itself somehow in its hibernation (?????). I take it home, start making a conscious effort to shut it down once or twice a day when I know I won't be using it. I also installed the recent OS and firmware updates.
4) Saturday night (tonight 14th). On the internet in bed with phone plugged in via USB, I unplug phone on phone end and it happens again. I can't turn it on, dim green flickering in magsafe, no lights on side of mac.
I honestly can't afford the money nor the time to keep travelling to Exeter only for it to charge soon as I put it down (magic touch of the apple store circuitry/staff I guess).
I can't reset the SMC as it won't turn on either way - I've tried this every time its happened, under the direction of applecare phone support and it doesn't do anything for a dead machine. Along with all the other keyboard combos they suggest. The only thing that 'cures' it is 2 or 3 days of being completely unresponsive, and then spontaneously deciding to charge like nothings happened beyond a battery drain, usually in the store.
What can I do? Whenever I go to the Apple store it works fine and I look like an idiot, plus they checked the hardware (incl the logic board) the first time. Could they have missed something? I spent so much money on this thing, I almost feel like I've been given a dud and they don't believe me enough to replace it.
TIA,
Thomasyn

You've documented your symptoms pretty well - put it in a document and present it to the Apple Store 'genius'. I would insist on a logic board replacement and a battery replacement. I feel as if you have a dud as well (the hard drive dying so soon, the problems you're describing, etc.). Apple will have a log of your AppleCare calls so make them frequently.
Before going back to the store, call AppleCare again with your symptoms so that they can document them. Let them make your appointment at the Apple Store.
Good luck,
Clinton

TS5167 Same issue with 2011 MBP

I have a similar issue with a 2011 MBP and note that there is a considerable number of posts referring to this issue. Is completing a feedback form the best way to raise this with apple?

Starcraft Issues w/ Newest MBP's

The newest refresh of the MacBook Pro's seem to have brought more than new specs and new features: there have been many reports of Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War being unable to load.
Has anyone had any success with these games on the latest (2-26-08) MBP's?
Blizzard (or at least a Blizzard forum moderator) knows about the issue and is encouraging people to post their specs in this post:
http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?ForumName=support&ThreadID=535846

Aznupward,
Here is a copy of a reply I posted in another thread regarding this. The short answer is that the latest update of Leopard removed the 256 color support needed to play older games like Starcraft. A guy who posts as KarlKFI created a fix for this which works, but it is no longer available at the address he posted. His fix reverts the drivers back to version 10.5.2, and saves your current driver congiguration for 10.5.4 as a back up. It may have caused some issues for me which, which you will see if you read my reply to his post. If you decide to use it, make sure you back up your computer first. I have just spent a week trying to sort all this out, and this post contains most of what I went through trying to get this to work. Your best bet is to install an older version of windows (anything but vista!!!) using Boot Camp (free and already on your Mac in Utilities) or VMware Fusion (available at VMware.com for 80 bucks). Then just run Starcraft on that. Here is the reply:
KarlKFI,
First off, I am not that great with computers in general, so excuse me for being a bit slow. I wanted to post all this info in one place so that other people can avoid my starcraft nightmare.
I downloaded Pacifist and I ran your package to revert the drivers to 10.5.2. Here is the link although this page is now missing.
http://www.karlkfi.com/archives/2008/07/mac-os-10531054-nvidia-256-colors.html
It worked awesome, and I could play starcraft again, but when I went to uninstall it to revert back to the updated drivers, it of course prompted me to restart my computer. Upon restarting I got stuck at a blank blue screen. I am assuming this is similar to the blue screen that people have been getting when they update Leopard. Possible fixes are here but they are a pain.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1545?viewlocale=en_US
I learned that a blue screen also can be caused by "incompatible login items". Discussion is here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7507554&#7507554
I managed to get it working again by booting into safe mode by holding down the Shift key after powering back on. At this point I went into System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items and removed them. I only had one login item which was associated with itunes. After this I seemed to have no problem. However, I am going out to buy an external hardrive and back up everything before I consider jacking around with the drivers again.
Also, I noticed that the page containing your Driver revert package is down. What happened? As far as I know it is the only simple fix in existence.

Issues with 2011 MBP fixed?

Hi, I was wondering if the 10.6.7 update successfully fixed the major issues that were reported (screen freezing, fan running, etc.) or are these hardware issues that can't be fixed with an update? My mom wants a new laptop and I really think she should get a Mac, but I'm hesitant to order a 2011 because of these issues...it's a headache I don't want or need!
Also, are new 2010 Macbook Pro's still available anywhere? Would you recommend buying a used 2010 on ebay or is that risky?

We've purchased more than dozen Early 2011 MBP and none have those issues. Apple has a refurb section if that makes you feel better. And they have a full year warranty that you can even purchase AppleCare for.

Few issues with my MBP screen (warranty related?)

Hi all,
I have been putting this problem off for the past year now, but it's getting to me more and more. My MacBook Pro is still under warranty (MBP is a 2007 model just before the newer ones came out), and I have a few niggles with the display.
First off I have a dead pixel near the top, where the address bar usually is for Safari/Chrome. This one is shown in the tab to make it apparent. (http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/4168/img0278q.jpg)
Next is a dash of light to the far right of the screen about just under a quarter of the way up from the screen. (http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6196/img0279d.jpg)
And finally I have something that looks like a hair has embedded under the screen and this is the most distracting part. I have included links to pictures of what I am referring to. (http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2763/img0277ix.jpg) (http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/2985/img0276m.jpg)
My question is will any of these be enough to warrant use of my warranty (AppleCare)? I do graphic design and the hair like thing is the worst because it's consistently viewable. Thanks for any help.
Message was edited by: Shady Pioneer

You definitely need to ask about this before your warranty is up. The hair seems to be the worst thing. I believe that displays are supposed to be manufactured in clean room conditions and sealed. There should not be a hair under the display. The light dash could represent a break in the seal but I don't know if it does or not.
The only way to find out is to ask, and emphasize that you do graphic design. I have heard of people getting replacement displays for similar issues.
Good luck!

SSD and sleep issues - 2006 17" MBP

My 17" MBP (2,1) add SSD to optical bay project went very well! I'm surprised at the speed bump it's experiencing.
Only 1 issue so far - as the new boot volume is in the optical bay, the machine can't seem to wake it from sleep. Should I just disable sleep totally, delete the sleep image, or some other option? (I've read posts about sleep numbers, SATA vs ATA, ect)
FYI - there is no battery in it - currertly waiting on replacement. It's powered by the cable. Perhaps this will solve itself when the battery arrives.
Thank you!

tjk,
The fact that the external display works perfecty would rule out any issue with the GPU, wouldn't it?
I'm debating whether to try the cable or to just get a whole replacement screen, since the old one was starting to dim anyway...
In most cases, it would certainly lean in that direction, but I don't believe it would totally rule it out. It has different jobs to do/capabilities depending on outputting to internal or external display.

Exasperating: the issues of a mbp (l '08) | fan control vs display i.a.

I'm going to go crazy over this. My MBP (Late 2008) is producing one issue after another and they start to heap. Gradually, I don't know where I'm off anymore. The supportline, naturally, doesn't have a clue either and my good old buddy has already been in repair about a month ago, when they changed the logic board.
For once, the fans spin almost insanely at a speed of 6208 rpm, what makes the MBP not really a treat for the ears and the battery is most likely affected, too. That can neither be healthy nor be correct. Most of the times, what I can't clearly understand, it helps to hold the device at a slant for about half a minute. Then it calms down, what doesn't last for long if at all.
On the other hand, the MBP says good bye about five times a day (sometimes more, sometimes less and, above all, without any apparent reason), as it just goes into the standby mode and, straightly following, without an input, awakes again.
By the way, the loudspeakers crunch and crack latterly, as soon as you "turn" the music a little tiny bit louder and, also, the green LED goes out all the time but only at full load. This, being seen relatively, bothers me the least. Now and then it likes to hang itself up, too, when it does not react at any input at all. Then it's time to take off the power supply.
I just don't comprehend a thing. What would you recommend? Maybe anyone with the same deplorable story here? Within that price category, I got to say, I am expecting something else. However, it has been a great experience up to now and I don't want to miss out on such a great product, which it absolutely is - as long as it works the way it should.
In hope and with greetings,
sorry for my bad English,
Daniel

The problem is that I'm kind of reliant on my MBP for school and, as I've experienced it before, it usually takes about two weeks to get it back.
Could it be that, at least in case of the issue about the sudden standby, a RAM module is the cause? I opine that it mostly happens when the RAM is almost written on to a point where it is virtually full.
Any ideas, guys?

Brand new to Mac and having some issues with my MBP mid 2012

I am hoping someone can offer some advice to me, I am about ready to tear my hair out. I bought a mid 2012 MBP from best buy open box for $2000, it is the model with the 750gig hard drive and 8 gigs of ram. I has Mountain Lion on it and I have done all the software upgrades. I do not have a lot of software installed on it but it does not seem to be running right. I have had it about three weeks or a month and it appeared to be running okay most of the time.
I tried putting parallels 8 on it so I could run some of my windows apps and I installed windows 8 and nothing else and it brought the laptop to a stand still it was crawling so slow I unistalled the software. The past few days I have noticed that when I open the lid and it wakes from sleep the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for upto a minute.
However today has been the worse by far. I am trying to copy some files about 300 gigs worth from a external drive to my hard drive so I can reformat the drive and while it is copying I am not able to do anything, surf the web, use word or anything because anything I try to do locks the computer up for several minutes or I have to force quit. The voice dictation feature no longer works when I press fn twice, nothing happens at all.
Is this normal, I mean I am very disappointed that a $2000 computer cant copy some files and surf the internet or type a word doc at the same time. Do I have a bad mac or am I expecting to much????? I am a therapist and use this laptop to take and store all my client notes I bought a mac because I need something dependable and reliable.
If this is not normal what do you suggest?

That would be your best bet. There is a reason someone returned it. Most people that buy a Mac, except me, never return them. Even if they don't run right. So for someone to return that unit they either didn't care for Mac OS X (that is why I return the first 2 I had) or there was something very wrong with it.

That is what I am thinking as well Shootist007. I am a best buy silver reward member and I have 60 days instead of 30 on all returns and I am thinking I may return it, pay the extra $200 and get a brand new one.

Apple wireless keyboard a1134 issues w 2011 mbp

I'm having serious issues with the A1134 keyboard from Apple. I use my macbook pro both at home and at work in clamshell mode, that is with the lid closed, power connected, and an external monitor on mini display port. I use the Apple Bluetooth keyboard A1134, and the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. The computer ALWAYS pairs just fine with the mouse and track pad, but it seems like almost every day now my computer refuses to immediately pair with the keyboard.
It's very frustrating, and I'm not sure how to fix it. The problems seem to have happened when I wanted to "play" with my keyboard and see if it would pair to my iphone and some other devices, which it did quite nicely (i paired both my home and work one to it at some point). Even though I've since gone and removed it from my iphone and turned bluetooth off on the phone, the pairing with my laptop seems to be a constant battle.
Does any one have any suggestions on how I can completely delete all previous pairings from the keyboard itself? It has to be storing the pairing information in some ROM chip on the keyboard, so it would be nice to factory reset the keyboard somehow so i can start over.
Also, do you think since I have a keyboard and mouse paired at work and another set at home my system might be getting confused with all these devices paired up to it? It's so frustrating and has really been ruining my awesome Mac experience that I love so much.

Hello:
You do not indicate what level of OS X you are now operating (your profile needs updating).
There are a couple of things I can suggest, but I need to know where you are first.

Optical audio out issue on 2011 MBP

I just tried to hook up my month old 15" MacBook Pro to my home theater using an optical cable for audio and the laser is really weak, so the receiver will not recognize the signal.
It is visibly dimmer than the signal from my AirPort Express. Amusingly, the AirPort's signal was strong enough that I was able to get the receiver to use it through its cable AND the one I am trying to use with the MBP by just holding them end to end. Any one have a similar problem?
I'm thinking I'll have to take it in to the Apple Store. This unit also doesn't play nice with my monitor with MDP to DVI adapter. *harrumph*

I discovered a handy little piece of freeware called soundflower. I'm not entirely certain how it works, but my understanding is that it sets itself up as an output that is not optical, and then forwards all of the audio data to the optical port. It allows you to control the system volume because the system does not recognize it as an optical port. As for quality, I haven't noticed any decrease yet, but I'm definitely going to keep my ears open as it is kind of a funky setup. Also, the system volume does not have the full spectrum of 'quiet–>loud' that it normally has, but you do have some control.
Anyway, here's a link with instructions on how to set it up properly, and where to find the software.

Video issues on A1286 MBP (denounced by Apple Milton Keynes)

I have an MBP.
The problem is that the video appears garbled when going from full screen to minimised. I cannot press icons at all.
Apple store replaced my logic board as it had a fault but still I am having problems with video.
Apple store (Milton Keynes) say it's "not their problem" and they have turned me away (after spending £1600) on an MPB with the excuse that it's firmware related and they had seen it before but Apple dealt with it. They said that Apple haven't acknowledge the fault on my model.
So I am left with a product that is not "fit for purpose" as there are video problems.
I dont care what is causing this. I know its Apple's fault as I have booted it off one of their generic OS/drives and the problem is still there.
I am fed up with Apple now and the customer service at MILTON KEYNES store is a disgrace. So much so that I as a customer have had to contact Trading standards to investigate this case.
All I want is my Apple Mac Book Pro to function correctly.
See screenshot here:
http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae269/seanoturbo/Screenshot2011-02-26at150240 .png
To view you have to remove the space between the 0 and .png that Apples code keeps inserting. They are doing this to stop spam I guess but it's simply a case of deleting the space between the . and 0 so its 0.png and not 0 .png

I've read your post five times now, looked at your screenshot three times, and I still can't make heads or tails of what your problem is, never mind suggest how to solve it. Can you explain clearly what isn't working as you expect? Your problem statement above ("The problem is that...") is completely opaque.

Logic Express Overload Issues on 2007 MBP

So, i've been having a lot of trouble with overload issues on my 2007 MacBook Pro. It's really got me confused because the problem seemed to just start occurring recently on fairly simple projects. My macbook has 2.2 core duo processors, 4gb rams, ~60 gigs of free HD space, and I'm running projects from an external drive. I am aware of the tricks for optimizing projects (balancing processor thread loads and whatnot) so please don't point me to that section of Logic's manual. I just have no idea what the problem is, especially since I used to run fairly large projects in the past with very little free HD space and somehow got away with it.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, 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.
The error you mention can be fixed by Disk Warrior.
