Do any macbook pro computers have a cd drive
do any mac book pro computers have a cd drive
Hey Crampy.
Have you figured out what Ubuntu is?
It is possible to burn two CD/DVD at once. It all depends on what software you're using.
I use to do it with my windows pc using Roxio to burn 2 cd's at once.

Does the Macbook Pro (2012) have a dvd drive? I can't seem to find one.
Does the Macbook Pro (2012) have a dvd drive? I can't seem to find one.
Not the MBP-R's, you can't even change the RAM or storage in them.
The other 15" MBP's you can and they include the Superdrive built in.
Last time you do a impulsive purchase huh? -
apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?
No. Apple replaced the disk drive with a solid state drive (SSD) instead. The SSD is faster the old disk drive.

Do any Macbook Pro 17" have NO heat issues?
I am on the fence as to whether or not to buy or wait until new models come out to see if Apple actually fixes this issue. I use "notebook" computers on my LAP all the time. I've searched and seen that some seem hot... some not so much. *Can someone tell me if the issue has finally been solved and if so what manufacture date to look for?* Also, does solved mean comfortable?
Looking at MacBook Pro 17" 2.93 with 7200 upgrade.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks forThe user manual, I believe, still states that the computers should not be used on one's lap because of possible heat injury.
All Intel based laptops run hot unless they weight about 7 pounds and can have large fans and heat sinks. But if you want a lighter and thinner computer then they will be hot because there's only so much space inside for fans and heat dissipation systems to function.
This is not a "problem" that can be solved. This is simply an engineering limitation.
You can visit a local Apple vendor to see if you can test one of the new laptop models to determine for yourself if they are too hot for your comfort. But I doubt you will find anything different from other manufacturers such as Dell with respect to their light weight laptops.
I use four different Intel laptops including a unibody MBP. I do not use them on my lap, but they all run comfortably to the touch unless the CPU and GPU are under heavy application usage. Then they can get pretty hot. -
Does the 15" macbook pro 2014 have a CD drive?
Just ordered a Macbook Pro before the weekend and was shocked to hear someone say they got a Macbook Pro at Christmas and it didn't have a CD drive! Is this true??
Unfortunately yes, I myself purchased a Late 2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro and no drive. You basically have to purchase a USB Superdrive. Here's a link below:

Trying to copy ANY file from my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive spins for 45 minutes then fails. I hate this computer and WISH I never would have wasted my money. Any ideas? WD My Passport 2TB Drive, had to buy a program to make the POS read files. Copies that would take seconds from a Windows based machine never complete. I have to close the transfer or shut off the machine half the time. Worst computer I have EVER owned, crashes non-stop, constantly freezes, and seems like EVERY operation is more complicated with this thing. Literally, my 1997 Compaq was FAR MORE reliable and user friendly.
This is one of the messages I keep getting; The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in -- File Whatever -- can’t be read or written.(Error code -36)
I have copied things to the hard drive in the past, but it has always been incredibly slow, and now just seems to freeze and fail -

Need to re-install Creative Suite 6 on a re-built MacBook Pro: I have the DesignStandard_CS6_LS16.dmg from initial download, do I simply double-click on the dmg to install? Will I need any keycodes?
Caseycork92 you double click the DMG to mount the disk image. You will also need to enter your serial number for Creative Suite 6 for Macintosh. You can find information on how to locate your serial number under your account at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

Hi
I have been given a MacBook Pro and have downloaded all the recent updates.
Safari will not open.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated
Regards
lb6301OK, the only thing that I can suggest at this point is to take the machine to your local Apple Store and have them download and install the latest version of Safari. It's likely something that they'll do for free if you get a nice Genius...
I don't know what I was thinking about - finely figured out that you MUST have an iOS or other device!
Sorry we couldn't solve the problem... hopefully, you've a nearby Apple Store? Or an AASP?

What the Macbook Pro should have
Hi guys, 2 weeks ago I purchased my first Apple laptop - the Macbook Pro 13", before that (and still sometimes) I used PC. Even though the design is great, there are things that could be done to make it perfect. Here is my list, please tell me what you think about it.
1 - A delete button one the keyboard, I noticed that the Macbook Pro doesn't have one before purchasing it, but after using if for 2 weeks noticed how important it is.
2 - The 2 USB ports are quite inconvenient because they are next to each other, it would be more convenient if they are from both sides instead, like Macbook Air. I have devises that are a bit wider than the other ones, so when one of these is plugged in, the other USB port is unusable. Speaking of which USB 2.0 isn't good! The ThunderBolt port is great but there are no devises yet that can take any advantage of it, so in the meantime USB 3.0 would be great.
3 - HDMI port - most of the laptops already have it, I don't see why none of the Macbooks has it. If I want to connect my Macbook Pro to my TV, I have to spend extra money on MiniDisplay to HDMI adaptor (it's not like Apple products are any cheep, so spending extra money on things that should have been there on first place is NOT good).
4 - Numerical Keyboard - I know there is no room for it, but a button like Caps Lock could be used, when it's pressed certain buttons from the keyboard could act only as numerical keyboard and when pressed again, the keyboard could be back to normal.
5 - The screen resolution of the 13" Macbook Pro should have been like the 13" Macbook Air.
6 - The CD Drive is unnecessary, nobody uses it nowadays. Nobody listens to music from a CD and nobody installs any software from a CD, everyone uses the Internet for these things, the little part of people who are still using CDs, DVDs, etc. have other devises such as: DVD or Blue-ray players, HiFi systems and Desktops. The room that is taken by the Optical Disk could be used for a bigger battery.
7 - Better cooling system - when watching a move the laptop gets so hot that I literally can't put it on my lap (lol what a paradox, a laptop that cannot be put on a lap), also I would love to be able to close the lid and leave the laptop works (it is great when downloading big files or scanning software is used), but with that cooling system I'm afraid that it would overheat.
8 - Last but not least - The screen bezel. It's too big, Macbooks should be bezelless, it would make them much better looking.DS had some great points, I'll chime in as well.
1.) I agree, it'd be handy to have. It definitely took some getting use to but once you do and modify your keyboard workflow it becomes second nature.
2.) I ended up investing a USB extension cable, Apple makes them I believe. At least they use to, I've had mine for years. While the cable dangling off the side of the machine is a bit of an annoyance, it's a necessity if I want to double up my AirCard (USB) with a thumb drive. USB 2.0 is still the "standard" and as such it's going to be the de facto peripheral port. Apple is historically slow about adopting non-standard peripheral interfaces unless they pioneer or champion it. It wouldn't surprise me if Apple still doesn't offer USB 3.0 this time next year. Thunderbolt/Light Peak is brand new tech, and as such it's going to take a while to have peripherals that support it. There are NAS devices that have it, they were just announced this week.
Here's a link regarding its deployment - http://www.tuaw.com/2011/04/13/intel-distributing-thunderbolt-developer-kits-thi s-quarter-more/
3.) I agree that HDMI would be nice but with Thunderbolt supporting HDMI, I really don't see Apple adding another video out port. There's no room left on the I/O strip on the 13" MBP for it. Apple use to include adapters (when the MBP first came out) but they've since stopped doing that and gouge with adapters. Thankfully there are numerous 3rd party offerings at a fraction of the price.
4.) I agree, I forget which "redesign" of the keyboard layout got rid of the Num Lock key. I know my 15" MBP (Santa Rosa) has it. I currently use my iPhone as my numerical keyboard, there's a great little app that pairs the phone to your computer via Bluetooth. It works great as an alternative.
5.) Marketing 101. By introducing it via a future revision this encourages current owners to want to upgrade/switch and thus move more units and tout it as a "feature upgrade." I was pretty shocked the i5/i7 update to the MBP 13" did not introduce the 1440 resolution.
6.) This is where you'll get disagreement. Rule #1 of proper Internet forum posting, don't use words like: everyone, everyone, most, all, nobody, no one, etc. Especially without evidence to back it up. While you don't use it, people do. I use mine daily, my co-workers use their drives daily. That's 11 people right there, which is 11 more than "nobody."
7.) Apple has never called their computer a "laptop." They've always referred to is as a portable computer. Matter of fact, they strongly discourage the use of their portable computers on your lap due to how the heat dissipation process works through the top case. So the problem(s) you're experiencing are to be expected, you're using the machine in a method that is not recommended by the manufacturer. They even discuss that in the "Getting Started" booklet that came with your machine. -
i have just used air display with macbook pro. i have disconnected now from apple tv. but my laptop screen is still very small like its connected to the tv. this means all the tabs and writing is very small. like the display down the bottom where al the applications are, is n the middle of the page and not spread down the bottom. this is seriously annoying! all the writing is every small and the tabs are small and its hard to read. the air display link has disappeared from my computer. but the laptop screen is still very small. i want to know how do i get rid of this and return my macbook screen to its normal size. thank you
Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

History:
Started with stucking. No sesponse to any attempt than force quit.
When i checked the disc, replied: nod fail, repair with installation cd. Sth like that.
I borrowed the installation disc of a macbook pro (i have macbook). I run the utilities to repair the disc 2 times. Failed. After i didn't know how to take out the cd. I had to force quit.
Then, at start, it takes 10-15 minutes with the Apple sign and a small silver bar, until it switch of by itself. I repeated the procedure 10 times totaly, the same!
Sime times, when i start from the installation cd ( i hold "c" at the start), it does'n "see" the hard drive to start up with.
Important detail: When i run the disc repair operation from the Disc Utility of the Installation cd, on the column of the volumes, the "HD Macintosh" characters are grey, whether others are normaly black.
Budget detail: i don't have money to buy products etc, so i count on your advises!!! I prepare a performance though, soon, and i can add the trademark of the sponsor, if somebody is interested... All the data in the computer are about this work, so i cannot risk to lose them.
Thank you in advance!It sounds as if your MacBook's hard drive is dead, or possibly dying. Replacement drives are fairly inexpensive. You'll need an install DVD like the one that came with the MacBook. Contact Apple via expresslane.apple.com to order a new set. Once you have the machine up and running, restore your data from your backups. If you don't have backups, contact a data recovery outfit to see what they can get off of your old hard drive.
Backups are important!
Best of luck. -
Okay , first off thanks for any help in advance . I just purchased a MacBook pro for my daughter for college . ( finance major ) . Her class requires Microsoft office 2010 with access . As you probably already know , and I have just learned , that is no offered for Mac. Is there an easy way To run ms office with access on a MacBook pro or have I wasted my money ?
All that matters is file compatibility. The documents look the same. I've been a professor, so I don't see any issues here at all.
Another option you may want to consider is this: Run Windows on the Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
with OS X.
3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
applications without having to install Windows. The
Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
