Does Mavericks 10.9.4 Fixes MacBook Pro (2007) Overheating Issues?

I updated my wife's MacBook Pro 15" (late 2007) with Mavericks 10.9.2 when it was current, and the laptop was getting ridiculously hot. So we waited for the next release, 10.9.3, and it was still running hot so I reinstalled Snow Leopard.
The problem what that while going to sleep, either lid closed or opened, the laptop was stil running and running very hot with the fans constantly running. After a while, it would crash and keep on staying very very hot with the fan still going strong. A hard reboot is required to stop this.
Does anyone had issues with this and can confirm if 10.9.4 fixed it? I would not want to keep on formatting and reinstalling OSes for fun...
Other information:
I always install from a boot USB key on a freshly formatted disk (no updates here).
I also tried the usual PRAM and SMC reset a few times while on Mavericks with no success.
It's not an app as it was behaving like that right after the install and before I installed any app.
I also uninstalled a bunch of apps (like Office 11) one by one and nothing ever fixed the issue.
We would really like to use Mavericks on that MacBook Pro. It's quite a stable little machine with a brand new board from last summer (it was affected by the ATI GPU recall and the Apple Store replaced the board). I have also cranked up the memory to 6GB (it was also overheating before I replaced the memory) and when going back to Snow Leopard, I installed a little SSD (Crucial m500 120GB) for speed.
Any help would be appreciated!

One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. That keeps you from having to re-install another OS again.

Macbook Pro battery/overheating issue

Hello all, I am having issues with my older macbook pro. I recently replaced the battery as per the computer's recommendation. Now the fan is kicking on very loud and the computer will shut off. I have read that these symptoms can be due to overheating. When I replace the battery with the old one the symptoms seem to subside. Is the battery bad or something else wrong potentially? I cannot find anything online really to help me correct the issue.

If you had an Apple store replace the battery you have a 90 day warranty on the battery and the labor to change the battery. So if you did have it done at an Apple store take it back and have them check it out.
If you bought and replaced the battery yourself then most likely the battery is defective and I would not put it back in that Mac.

Upgraded from 10.6.8 to Mavericks last week on my MacBook Pro running the 2.4 GHz i5 and it's painfully slow on start-up- I mean, 5 minutes or more, to be fully functional... Is this normal?

Upgraded from 10.6.8 to Mavericks last week on my MacBook Pro running the 2.4 GHz i5 and it's painfully slow on start-up- I mean, 5 minutes or more, to be fully functional... Is this normal?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Updating to Mavericks - can I download the MacBook Pro retina 10.9.1 version?

Hi,
I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display.
I saw that there's a specific version of Mavericks for my computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1712
My question: it's called an UPGRADE.
So is this link only for those who are already running Mavericks, and are just upgrading from 10.9.0 to 10.9.1?
Or can this link be used to move from 10.8.5 to 10.9.1?
I read that I can't download from the App Store with this computer.
PS: Do you think it's a good idea to run Disc Warrior on the old Mountain Lion install before upgrading, or would this be a useless task?
Thanks!

That link is only for users who are already using OS X Mavericks.
All Late 2013 MacBooks Pro with Retina display come with OS X Mavericks (OS X Mountain Lion is not supported), so if you are using OS X Mountain Lion, you have got a Mid 2012 or Early 2013 MacBook Pro. As you have not got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, you do not need the update you listed.

(the terms "update" and "upgrade" seem to mean different things to different people - is moving from 10.8.6 to 10.9.1 an upgrade or an update or is it both the same?)
It's true. You cannot download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store on a Late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display because the available version is not compatible. However, if you are using Mountain Lion, you have not got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro.
Then, note that OS X 10.8.6 does not exist. The process to move from OS X Mountain Lion to Mavericks is an upgrade, because it's a new operating system. An update refers to a bug fix release or small features release, for example.
You do not need to run Disk Warrior before upgrading. Instead, you can verify that your hard drive is OK with Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). Also, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

Help on how to fix macbook pro 13inch 2010 (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad)?

help on how to fix macbook pro 13inch 2010
Hi, I need some peoples help on fixing my laptop. I have a macbook pro 13 inch 2010 model, and it refuses to boot into either osx or windows. Every time I prevoiusly treid to boot into mac osx I got this error "panic (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad)". there is an image below. and when I had treid to boot into windows (bootcamp) I got this error "A disk read error occured Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". I have treid to restart the computer and gotten both these errors agian. The strange things is this deosn't always happen, sometimes I don't get any errors, and it just has the apple logo whith the spinning loading thing happening below (I left this for an hour and it still kept spinning, and never loaded). Other times it just show white whith no errors but never loads, sometime it lets me alt to select which os to boot into (nether work), but other times it just freezes and shows a mouse cursor on the white background. it's not consistent.
Most recently it has a flashing folder on a white background. I treid inserting my osx disc and went into disc utility but it doesn't detect my hardrive. It may be a faulty hardrive or sata cable but I dont know (I have links below). I was recently (well for the first time), defragmenting my windows partition, it hit temparatures of 80-85C, and stayed at that for several hours throughout the defragmentation, would this have damaged it?
I have scoured the internet and found many people whith very similar problems to me but none whith the same, and A lot of people saying that if you get the error you should just use a time machine backup, the thing is I don't have a time machine backup. The internal hardrive I am currently using on my laptop is a seagate 640gb 5400rpm (it's not an apple harddrive). every thing else it standard, standard ram and no overclocking, I was running 10.6.8 snow leopard, and windows xp profesional 32bit (split 320gb each, whith about 10gb spare on each parttion).
It would be greatly appreiciated If any one could shed some light on what I should do. I need the laptop working whithin the week (for my tafe work), but If I have to reinstall the OS's and programs it could take a long0I have a lot of programs and that could take a month. not to mention The fact that the hardrive might be completly fine and it's just a faulty sata connection. but then would I still be getting an error if thats all thats wrong?. and if it is just the error is there anyway I can fix it whitout doing a fresh install, there a error reading document blow but I cannot make heads or tails of it. I also have almost no money to afford getting it fixed.
also one last thing, I stupitidely inserted my mac osx disc 95% of the way into my macs slot loading drive when it was powered down (off). when I turned it on it sucked it in fine, but would that have caused any damage to the disc or laptop (I cannot eject the disc to check)
I have images of many of the things I described below. So any suggestions.
I have also posted this on several other websiets if that helps)

The problem may be that your macbook is'nt set to 'mirror image' if you go into settings, onto 'displays' there should be an option within, once youre connected, to 'mirror image' if you check this box, then the problem should be sorted, if not then maybe a dodgy cable or adapter.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
Help, please...

Hello Smis,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
if you have one already you can rename either one ..
and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

What does bad argument 0x10000003 mean on macbook pro

what does bad argument 0x10000003 mean on macbook pro during boot up after a question mark folder appearing?

At that point, I had taken one of the DIMs out to see if the RAM was the issue. I took it to the Apple Store and they said that the hard drive might be bad, so they wiped everything on the hard drive. After that, I was still experiencing the kernel panics. So another guy looked at it and said that it might be bad RAM. So I called the company and got them to send me more RAM and after inserting the new RAM, I still get kernel panics. I've been saving all the panic reports in a folder on my flash drive. Today I got a total of four. And then I got four the day before that. Mind you, this didn't start happening until I upgraded my system to Mavericks.
I really wish there was a way I could post them all so someone could look at them, cause to be honest, none of the code in it makes any sense to me.

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

I have this (or a similar) issue and I did notice something interesting. After I boot into Windows via Bootcamp (where I have the U3014 specfic driver installed) and then reboot into MacOS X (Mavericks) the monitor works flawlessly.
I would hazard a guess that this means bootcamp is retaining the driver used in Windows. Kind of the reverse of the TB GBE adapter driver issue.
To explain my issue for anyone else: the monitor flicks on and off as if the connection was poor. Connecting via HDMI. Connection is fine and as stated, everything works fine in Bootcamp.

I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

HT1270 does installing aftermarket RAM into new macbook pro non-retina void apple warranty

does installing aftermarket RAM into new macbook pro non-retina void apple warranty

Only for the RAM which should be covered by the manufacturers/vendors warranty. Now if you damage the MBP while installing the RAM then you may find yourself voiding the MBP warranty. But ir does take a lot to do that.

Will OS X Mavericks run on my new Macbook Pro?

[EDIT] Duplicate post - please see https://discussions.apple.com/message/22216397#22216397
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a 2.9 GHz dual-core i7 MacBook Pro this week, with OS X Mountain Lion pre-installed.
Can anyone please advise if they would foresee any issue upgrading to OS X Mavericks when it becomes available?
I already have a 2008 MacBook which cannot be upgraded later than Snow Leopard, so I want to avoid being limited again.
Any advice is much appreciated, thank you.

Hello Ecomm, and Welcome to Apple's Support page!
Yes OSX Maverick WILL RUN on your Macbook Pro. It will probably NOT run on the older White Plastic Model Macbooks, but OSX Moutain Lion Will! (on specific models)
I got my Macbook Pro in December (of 2012) and I am posotive OSX Maverick will run on the new Macs with OSX Moutain Lion or Lion installed.
