Discoloration of the Macbook casing still a problem?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Apple say they fixed the issue with discoloration on the Macbook? I just got a C2D exchanged for a lemon Core Duo that was purchased in June, and 1 month in my palm rests have the same discoloration as my old lappy. Anyone else having the same issue with a recently purchased Macbook?

ummm... try for another exchange and tell them that they traded you a lemon and a lower model.

We have had to change to a new router but the Macbook Pro still reverts to the old router. How can this new one be made the default?

We have had to change to a new router but the Macbook Pro still reverts to the old one. How can we lose this and make the new router the default?

Go to "Network" under system preferences and choose "advanced"
On the Wi-Fi tab you can sort the sequence of the preferred connections.
Then just move your new router to the top of the list.

Does the Macbook Pro still overheat and Freeze?

Hi guys,
In a few weeks I am purchasing my first macbook pro or apple product.
I have across a few websites that mention the macbook pro overheat and cause the notebook to freeze due to this issue.
Is this issue still happening?
Thanks in advance.

Read the fixes and still having problems. Firefox will not open at all and I receive a crash report upon launch. Have restarted, shut down, run virus and malware checks and even tried downloading and reinstalling with no response. Please assist.

Read the fixes. Cannot open Firefox in safe mode. Have tried reinstalling Firefox. Crash occurs each time I try to launch Firefox. Have run scans, checked for malware, spyware, installed all windows updates and still no luck.
Have accessed my crash reports. One of the reasons indicated is:
GenuineIntel family 6 model 23 stepping 10
Crash Reason
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE
Have no idea how to fix this and have had crash reports since yesterday evening.
Signature: nsStandardURL::SchemeIs(char const*, int*)

Sorry believe something got miscommunicated. Wasn't trying to qualify firefox as malware - was terming it that way because the malware was crashing Firefox and no other issue. Worked on it and had isolated the virus in avast (put it in the chest) and was searching for assistance on why even after isolating the virus and restarting (some forums had indicated to then uninstall and reinstall Firefox, which I did), still would not launch without the crash report.
Worked the problem and eventually installed a 5.0 version of Firefox and it launches. Only seems to have the crash report with 6.0 or higher.
The forums had suggested that if after isolating the malware in avast or disinfecting it with MBAM (tried that too), to uninstall and then reinstall the latest version of firefox. That's when I tried the older versions. Had run a boot log scan as well and didn't see any additional problems. Just can't launch in 6.0 or higher.

My iMac boots up and the mouse curser will move but nothing responds to the click. I was in the Apple store today and they reset the permissions, but still same problem. Help!!!

My iMac boots up fine and the mouse appears to be working fine however nothing responds to the mouse click. I took it to the Apple store today and they checked and repaired the permissions. I brought it home and still have the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, thanks for trying to help!
I just blew out the dust and turned it on again to the same problem.
So I tried holding the shift key which did something but then on reboot I got the same problem but this time worse, see here...
So I tried the alt key but that just gave me two startup disk options, both of which didn't work (they led to the same problem).
Then I tried CMD+s and followed your instructions, see below...
I just held the power button down and turned it on again and the same problem happened again.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks!

Fixed the 1604 but still having problems

Hi
I eventually got around the 1604 by uninstalling / reinstalling iTunes. It took a few goes to run the restore file the failed update originally created but I got there in the end. Unfortunately iTunes is now behaving very weirdly and the "restore" hasn't brought my contacts / tunes / anything else back.
iTunes recognises my phone and the phone appears in the left "devices" column as normal but it just won't sync. The "sync" option from the File drop down is greyed out, and the Sync tab in Edit > Preferences takes literally 5 minutes before it wants to show up and when it does it's blank. All the other tabs and settings appear to work as normal apart from "sync".
Right now my phone is back to the point where I can receive calls, etc, but I have a backup that I can't use and at the very least I'd like to be able to sync with outlook to get my contacts back.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Lee

Okay, I've rebooted several times, tried recovery mode several times, scoured Google and these forums and tried every possible thing suggested and wasted hours of my time in the process. After going back to the "1604" error, then getting an "8" error and now with a partially recovered phone I'm starting to get quite seriously annoyed.
It seems I have lost the photos I took last week in the south of France and all the contacts I added at the conference I was at while there. I also can't even get my existing contacts back from Outlook (I even upgraded to Outlook 2007 to see if that helped. No it didn't) onto this **** thing, meaning I'm getting SMS messages and I have no idea who they're from. It just won't sync.
Short of reformatting my machine, does anyone else out there have any ideas that I may have overlooked? It really would be appreciated.
Thanks

MacBook pro still won't back up, not even with a cable.

I backed up my G4 tower wirelessly. I backed up my G4 Powerbook using an ethernet cable to the Timecapsule LAN port. (Of course now that I've upgraded to 10.5.2 neither of their airport cards works anymore. No fix for that so far.)
But the MacBook Pro still won't back up. Not even with a cable. I've tried using the cable to the Timecapsule's LAN port. Nothing. I've tried connecting to the Timecapsule's ethernet port. Nothing.
In fact, when I go into network preferences....ethernet is not even an option for connecting to anything. My choices are: Airport, Bluetooth and Firewire.
Exactly how am I supposed to back up my MacBook Pro? It won't do it wirelessly and I can't do it with an ethernet cable either.
Timecapsule POS!

Hmm...let me see if I can help you. In your Network preference pane, click on the '+'. Then select Ethernet from the drop down menu. After you click OK, you should be able to configure the ethernet interface to connect to your TC. After that, you should be able to connect to it with the your ethernet cable.
As far as your not being able to use your MBP's airport, I'm not certain what that particular problem is - I haven't had any problems with my TC and this MBP that I'm using (indeed, my problem is connecting wireless with my PB G4 (with WPA that is, it'll work using WEP)).
Hope my first paragraph helps you.

Why I chose the MacBook over the MacBook Pro

This year I had a choice between the MacBook and MacBook Pro and pricing aside, chose the MacBook instead. Like many who have grappled with this decision I thought I'd share my thoughts on why I ultimately went with a MacBook:
1. Nearly identical processing power between the two. Most of the time larger means better/faster, but apple has nearly identical hardware so in this case larger just means larger.
2. I don't play many games or require a dedicated graphics card. A lot of people will say the graphics card on the MacBook Pro is far better, and in some sense it is, but the MacBook still has a decent card and the changes for someone not doing a ton of video work are non-existence. Plus, as I tell people who really want to play a lot of games, you should get a cheap pc desktop since the cards are worlds better than anything Apple sells.
3. Larger (better?) keyboard. I contend the keyboard is better although many would argue. Either way you see it the keyboard is larger and it is ridiculous that a 13" laptop has a larger keyboard than a 15" and 17". Apple really needs to update the casing for keyboards on the MacBook Pro's that actually use the space given. This was a big point for me since I cant stand the cramp keyboard of the MacBook Pro.
4. Lighter/Compact. I must say small size means you can take it almost anywhere easily. I can't imagine pulling out a 17" MacBook Pro on an airplane.
5. Harddrive swap and casing. While many are attached to the titanium design of the MacBook Pro (not me) the MacBook casing is amazing in its ability to swap in new drives and memory. This is another advantage I can't imagine why apple hasn't added to the other models.
6. Price. Now, originally I did say I chose them pricing aside, and I did. I could have gotten either, but at the end of the day its nice to know I saved $1000 and I travel comfortably knowing that if someone steals my laptop on a trip or it breaks, I won't have to sell a lung to get a new one.
I think if Apple finally updates the MacBook Pro casing with some of the features of the MacBook and makes a real difference in hardware between the processors I might have changed my mine, but I'm am so glad I purchased the smaller more compact MacBook than its counterpart the MacBook Pro.

"I think if Apple finally updates the MacBook Pro casing with some of the features of the MacBook and makes a real difference in hardware between the processors I might have changed my mine, but I'm am so glad I purchased the smaller more compact MacBook than its counterpart the MacBook Pro."
I like the casing on the MacBook better too and wish the MBP had that same rugged one. The aluminum, or whatever they use on the MBP has always seemed sort of frail to me, with wobbly lid closings and poor fits of the battery case, etc.
But I did go for the MBP. The main point for me? The higher screen resolution. I would have had a resolution DROP going for the MB and instead I got a resolution INCREASE going to the MBP.
In fact, the screen resolution of the MBP is the same as that on my 20" iMac G5!
I guess different things are different priority for different users.

I'm connected to the wifi at home but no internet access. i was surfing on the same wifi without any problems. and also this issue is for other wifi network.

hello everyone.
i was surfing browsing and downloading on my iphone 4 on my home wifi and other places without any problem but today i found out that even though i'm connected to my wifi i got no internet access. i also got this new problem, my led flash is on. if i tilt the device the flas dims a bit. i tried switching off the device but still the flash is on. i tried using at other wifi network same problem. i tried forget this network, switching off and turning on the device i also tried reseting the network and also hard reseting the device. but still same problem. what can i do about this? and if i send it to apple what are my options? i got warrant coverage so will they be able to repair it ? if they are not able to repair then will they give me new iphone 4 or refurbished iphone 4 for replacement?

Apple does not repair devices. If they are covered under warranty, the device is replaced. You will not get a new phone, you will get a service unit which is as good as if not better than new.
If all the basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide has been done and the device does not get Internet access via Wi-Fi from multiple locations, the only thing left is to take it to Apple.

I have a new MacBook Air. When I first got it, I migrated some of my files from my PC to the MacBook Air with no issues. Now, I',m trying to migrate more documents, music, etc. and migration assistant won't get past "Looking for Other Computers." Why?

I have new MacBook Air. When I first got it, I migrated some of my files from my PC to the MacBook Air without any problems. Now I'm trying to migrate more files, music, etc. and I keep getting the continuous spining circle with "Looking for Other Computers." I've tried everything and for some reason it is not finding my PC. What am I doing wrong?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

You can have Apple replace the logic board, but it will be at your expense. The free replacement program has ended.
