  • HT204032 Does the non-Retina screen MacBook Pro have the ability to initiate Power Nap?

    I've seen that the Retina screen MacBook Pros can use Power Nap from Apple's WWDC keynote but can the non-Retina screen MacBook Pros do that too? It has the same processor and close to the same RAM. Or is it because the Retina screen MacBook Pros have flash storage that they can do Power Nap? Thanks

    From http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ this is what is officially supported:

    Yes.  You can use one of a higher wattage, just not a lower wattage.

  • What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012

    What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012 with core i-7, 2.9ghz, 8Gb ram?
    AFAIK it should be a 60wat Megasafe power adapter.
    But mine shipped with a 45Watt Megasafe. I got it as a Gift from my friend.
    Thanks in Advance.

    This should be my Adapter right?
    Yes.
    There is a drawback in addition to taking a longer time to charge up your MBP.  In unusual instances when using your MBP with power adapter attached, and running a very heavy load on the CPU/GPU, the MBP will require additional electrical resources in addition to what the power adapter can provide.  It will then draw upon the battery.  What this means is that using a 45 watt adapter, these conditions are more likely to occur.
    Using a 45 watt adapter should not harm your MBP as such.

  • One of the USB ports on MacBook Pro does not work.

    Hi,
    I purchased a MacBook Pro in Jan '11. Both the USB ports on the laptop were working fine. Recently, I have noticed, any external device connected to the USB port, towards the battery side does not recognize the connection.
    Any solutions ?. Is this defect covered under warranty ?.
    Regards
    Anil Madan

    Anil,
    Try resetting the SMC.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 

  • What exactly does the AppleCare cover for MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I purchased the extended protection plan for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and my question is what exactly does it cover in what kind of situations (i.e. viruses, damaged ports, damaged charger, etc.)? I want to be able to take full advantage of the protection plan since it was a pretty big whole in my wallet.

    AppleCare covers all the problems you have with your MacBook Pro with Retina display and the peripherals which came with it (your charger) if you have a hardware problem that you didn't cause. For example, after 2 or 3 years and 1000 charges, OS X says that your battery has to be replaced: in this case, you have to pay for the battery, because batteries have got a lifetime, and Unibody Macs batteries have got an average lifetime of about 1000 charges.
    However, if the RAM gets damaged and you haven't done anything to cause it, you will get your computer repaired or replaced for free. AppleCare in a MacBook Pro with Retina display is very important, because near all the parts are soldered into the logic board and repairs are expensive

  • Is it possible to fix the cable of the Power Adapter for MacBook Pro?

    The cable of my power adaptor for my Macbook pro is broken, but the adatpor itself is fine, so I am wondering if it possible to replace that cable.

    Where's it broken?
    If you have enough space between the connector and/or the case.
    Here's one of mine that I repaired:
    There's only 2 conductors in there. One acts as a shield.
    So 3 pieces of shrink tubing. Prepare the conductors so you can proceed as follows.
    Solder the inner conductor together.
    Slide one piece of shrink tubing to down to cover that splice completely - shrink.
    Solder the outer shield together.
    Cover w/ the second piece of shrink tubing - shrink.
    Cover the entire repair w/ shrink tubing - shrink.

  • Why does the volume on my MacBook Pro change on its own?

    I just got my MacBook Pro and sometimes the volume goes up or down and usually when this happens iTunes opens up and starts playing randomly. Why does this happen!?

    No. Have Apple fix this little problem before it becomes a bigger one.

  • Why does the sound on my MacBook pro turn up automatically?

    I recently did a small update to my MacBook Pro.
    Everything was fine until my volume went up automatically, and I could not turn the volume down.
    The only way I can turn the volume down is if I close my computer and open it again.
    I do have an Apple TV, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. The remote for the Apple TV was not touching anything when the volume automatically shot up.
    How do I get this problem to stop?

    Hello bdockery
    Try turning off the IR sensor if your MacBook Pro has one. Check out the steps in the article below to get that sorted out and see if it starts to happen again.

  • All the apps on my MacBook Pro have been transferred to the Trash.  Any idea how I might get them back into my iTunes?

    I recently noticed that all the apps stored on my MacBook Pro are now in the Trash. This is the computer from which I synch all my devices.  I'm not sure what I did to make that happen, but I'd like to transfer them back into my iTunes.  I have tried to drag and drop them back into iTunes, and I have tried to right-click them to see if there is a good option.  Any ideas?

    If the applications have got a IPA extension, they are apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. First of all, open iTunes and go to Applications to check that your applications are still there, because iTunes removes the old app version when it is updated, so you may have an old version in Trash. In this case, you can empty it.
    If not, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (in the menu bar) -> Go to Folder, and type:
    ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications
    When you are in the folder, open the Trash and move your apps to this folder.

  • Is the Thunderbolt Port on Macbook Pro 15" 2011 onyl for monitor ?

    Hello community
    I have a MBP 15" from 2011, Is the Thunderbolt Port on on this only for monitor ?
    I'm considering to buy a TB extern HD for backup, want to be sure before I give my money away.
    Thanks in advance !
    P.

    Thunderbolt has got the ability to transfer audio, video and data, and it's only compatible with Thunderbolt devices and adapters. You can also connect monitors.
    Additionally, it's compatible with Mini DisplayPort, so if you have a Mini DisplayPort cable or adapter, you can use it, so you don't have to buy other adapters

  • Does the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro 2.6-GHz version have the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

    Topic title pretty much says it all. I want the 15-inch 2.6-GHz version with the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

    Yes, I have. The hardware specs are shown for this model, but when you dig further into purchasing it, it doesn't list the graphics cards under "hardware".
    My main concern came from reading somewhere (maybe on this forum) that some guy said he chose the 2.3 version so he could get the discrete graphics. I thought all 15inch 2.3 and above had both:
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

  • Why have the ports on the left of my macbook pro and the wifi and bluetooth stopped working?

    Hey All,
    About a week ago the two usb ports on the left of my 17" macbook pro, soundcard, wifi, and bluetooth stopped working. The power port, ethernet, remaining usb on the right are still functional. I've tried repairing the permissions and other software based solutions but to no avail. I'm worried that this might be a motherboard issue but am apprehensive about taking the ol' girl into a genius because it will probably cost more to repair than the remaining value of the system. Anyone have any ideas, can confirm my suspicion?
    Thanks!
