Dry apply macbook pro 15 inch scratch protector

Does anyone know of a dry apply scratch protector for a 15 inch macbook pro? I've been using an invisibleshield but it's not applied very well and I don't want to buy a new one. I only really need it for going through airport security (my old computer only got scratched going through the xray machine (the rubber curtains did it).
Does anyone know of a dry-apply option?

I know of nothing else to try. I have a very vague memory of doing something in Terminal to reactivate a FireWire port, but I wouldn't put much stock in that. The techs might all be correct in saying it's time for a logic board. And yes, just like almost anything else, things can stop working just like that, with no warning. Sorry I can't be of more help.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) Crashes Every So Often

I've been having issues with my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) for several months now. I have Mountain Lion and every time I have several apps open it crashes and reboots. I took it to the Apple Store twice and both times they reinstalled the OS. I still have the problem. Here's the last report that was sent to Apple, please help:

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution.
Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

I am working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with boot camp running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. Windows crashes quite often now-a-days and I need to get this fixed. I heard that updating boot camp can help. Currently I am running Version 3.0.4 (322).

I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

Typing the body of the thread message in the title, huh? -)

Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out. --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

Windows 7 FAQ Answers to commonly asked Windows 7 questions.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.
Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

You have only about 10 percent free drive space left. 50gB is enough to run the computer but, if it gets much smaller, that can slow how Virtual Memory (VM) works as the system has to more carefully search the remaining space for qualified blocks to which to write data.
Adding RAM will reduce the writes-to-disk by VM but you should probably consider a little holiday disk cleaning of stuff you no longer use.
This concerns me:

MacBook Pro 13 Inch

hi, i recently purchased a macbook pro 13 inch this past summer. i did the lion program and it worked great. i bought the newest model, (2011) but have noticed a difference with the ones more recently purchased from bestbuy; the shortcut keys have different signs/pictures on them representing dashboard; mission control, etc. I know this is not a big deal; but some people have complained about the re-sale value dropping signifigantly because people say, "that is the old one; the box has snow leopard"-- and the new box has lion on it. would bestbuy replace (i have the 2 year warrenty) it? with the new one? also, the track pad is unresponsive sometimes. the pro is in excellent condition, as it has no scratches dents chips-- anything. i have had a case on it since the beggining.
If i was able to get a replacment, is there any chance i could pay the difference and get the dedicated graphics card in the 15 inch? just a thought. i have been playing some gaming on it-- it runs great, but i would much rather have the dedicated graphics card. it is such a pain though, i have so much software on it and i will not pay geek squad 100 dollars just to make a trasfer. annoying.
the point is, i payed for the "newest" product, but in a way got the older one.
thanks in advance.

Yes even if you have the warranty and if you damage it during the hard drive or ram upgrade or if a problem arrises that could be linked to that then it is not covered.

Editing 1080p footage on MacBook Pro 15-inch Core i5 2.4GHz

Hi,
I am thinking of purchasing a Canon EOS 550d. I would be very interested to know if my April 2010 MacBook Pro 15-inch Core i5 2.4GHz will be capable of editing 1080p footage shot at 25fps (PAL). I have edited 720p footage without any problems, but I have never had a camera capable of recording in 1080p.
Thanks,
Acros-Krik

Should not be a problem at all. The best path is to transcode your footage using something like MPEG Streamclip to a usable codec, i.e. ProRes422 or Apple Intermediate Codec, for Final Cut Pro or Express respectively. If using Premiere Pro CS5, you can import native files directly into it. ProRes422 LT is a great codec from FCP7 only, it keeps the transcoded footage at the same file size as the native files and holds plenty of information for color grading later.
It's highly recommended to have all footage and scratch files on an external drive and not your OS drive. Makes everything operate more smoothly.
I do video work on the exact same machine using Final Cut Pro 7. I would strongly advise maxing out the ram. 8GB of ram helped a lot. I was hitting the 4GB limit with just a few pro apps open prior to adding more.

MacBook pro 15 inch Hard drive noise - 2.4ghz vs. 2.53ghz

Hi,
I finally re-purchased a mid-range MacBook Pro 15 inch (500hd, 2.53 ghz). I had first bought it in September from the online store but it was scratched right out of the box and the bottom panel wasn't put in properly so I sent it back.
Anyways... I turned the new one on yesterday to find that the hard drive was very VERY noisy (in my opinion). I could hear it running (like whoosing air) while the TV was running from across the room. It was much much louder than my 4 year old MacBook (it's dead silent except for when the fan gets going), and much louder than both of my parents last gen MBPs (you can hear the hd in theirs but only very close to the computer).
I took it in today and they said it was normal, all hard drives are different, yada yada yada. They gave me a new one, but I haven't opened it yet because I want to know whether a low end 15 inch (2.4ghz) would be quieter than the 2.53.
My question is: *Would the low-level 2.4 ghz be any quieter than the 2.53 mid-level? Should I downgrade to the 2.4 or should I just accept that any MBP I get will be louder than I'd like it to be?*

Thanks for the description. My old (and I think my dad's MBP) has a Fujitsu, and I'm pretty sure the MBP I returned had a Toshiba HD.
I'm wary about opening the box because if it is noisy I'll have to pay the obscene restocking fee to return it. I suppose the only way I'll find out the noise level is to turn it on though.
I was thinking that if it is normal and it's just too loud for me, I could return it, swallow the fee, and just get the cheap MacBook. That may still make noise I'd still end up saving over $1000...
Anyways, if the general consensus is that they just make noise I'll have to open the box up and test it out and see if I can live with it.

HELP! Adobe Production Premium on a decked out 2014 macbook pro 13 inch.

Hello fine apple community.
I have a few questions that hopefully someone can help out with. I've tried to search high and low but had no luck.
I currently have an imac for my video editing needs. I have Adobe CS5 Production Premium. I would like to get a second computer to do some video stuff while i'm at work when I have downtime. Mostly editing in Premiere and some effects work in After Effects. Nothing major, just keying, green screen work, etc. I also do a lot of Photoshop.
With my uses listed above, I was looking at getting a decked out 13inch macbook pro. I was planning on updated the processor to - 2.8 dual core intel i7 processor. I was also going to upgrade the ram to 16GB. I don't think there's anything else I could upgrade with this model.
My question is, will the above macbook pro handle Premiere, after effects and photoshop?
I've tried to do some reading about dedicated GPU vs the integrated that is in the 13 inch macbook pros. I'm kind of confused on all that stuff and have never been able to find an answer if a macbook pro 13 inch will handle Adobe software with it's integrated processor?
Secondly, I feel like a pain asking this but when editing on premiere, I read that you should always have your video clips and your project saved to an external harddrive.... I'm guessing that's the external scratch disk? As it ill use of less processing power and ram than if you were editing on your internal harddrive? Is this correct? Should all video work be done with the project and video clips saved on an external harddrive?
Any other tips that I should be aware of when handling editing video?
Thanks so much.

That's an odd problem. If it were me I think I'd do a full backup to an external drive and reinstall the OS from the Recovery partition. If an "in-place" install (meaning overwriting the existing system files) doesn't work, the next step would be to wipe the disk and install a fresh copy.

Financing MacBook Pro 15 inch.

Hello. Today I was looking on the apple website for MacBook pro 15 inch. I noticed that apple had financing plans. Do they only have the one 3 month plan? Because on the united states apple website it showed that they have a six month and a twelve month plan. I'm from Canada so that's why they are different. How does this plan work. My iMac cost 2200$ so does that mean I would be playing 733$ a month. And is there interest on that? And is it easy to apply for one of these. Thanks for your help.

This is a user to user forum. This is not Apple. You'd do better asking directly.

How can I connect my Early 2011" Macbook Pro 13" inch, with a generic Mini Display Port to HDMI connector, to a LG 32LD340 LCD TV, using Mountain Lion 10.8.2?

I have an Early 2011" macbook pro 13 inch (core i5 2.3ghz 4gb ram 320hdd) with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and I want to connect it via Mini DP to HDMI connector, and a HDMI cable to a LCD TV LG 32LD340. When I had Lion OS, I had no problems at all.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, 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. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

HT203254 My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

I tried last week. The best I could get was a discount on the repair, but the damage to my logic board by the GPU caused it to no longer boot. The program ended in December last year, but it has been extended in the past.
If you have no other damage you might be able to get a flat rate tier 1 repair if you are in the USA.

Macbook pro 15 inch wifi problem (late 2011)

Hello,
Here I write a little desperate with this problem that I have on the MacBook Pro (late 2011) with WIFI .
For several months ago, when I power on the MBP is all apparently normal , spend a few minutes and I lose the WIFI , the icon still comes out as "connected " but no WIRELESS signal , I turned off the WIFI, but, when I try to change back to turn ON, the icon of WIFI still OFF ( the inverted triangle ) . Restarting the MBP and still the problem no signal and appears as disabled , delete PRAM several times until finally everything works again , spend some time and again the same thing sometimes is fine for several hours, go out to eat and return and again the same thing, the worst was when I saw the message "Hardware not found" and "X " where the icon goes WIFI . I rebooted several times and not managed , this was the "hardware not found" message. Some time ago I went something like , when Lion had and read that resetting the PRAM and managed , never came out , but now even that it manages , and it is becoming more common , I thought it was the OS ( MacOSX Mavericks ) so I reinstalled (I'm not used Time Machine, I install all again ), this work the lasted several days without fail, until she passed again, I'm out of WiFi, when I see no WIFI signal in the list , restart me WIFI goes off and I can not change , restart it goes back to " hardware not found" and so on.
Now desperate for this, I opened the MBP , disconnected the cables from the Airport card and reconnected with care and making sure you are all well , turned on the MBP again and works!!, I lasted two weeks , then I thought it was that. But again the whole problem again.
Already investigating more online and I found some details from other users
1 / Both WIFI and Bluetooth are on the same card ( the q disconnected and reconnected )
2 / If the card was wrong , losing the WIFI Bluetooth should lose , but I tried Bluetooth and has no problems
3 / Reported that resetting PRAM or SMC but still, in my case, does not work.
Now all I have left to rule is the WIFI antenna that is located ( if I remember correctly ) for the bottom of the screen, and according to several users this tends to fail from constant use to close or open the MBP (or either to cover or uncover ) , and sometimes it just heats and heats close to this area .
Has anyone had a similar problem? My MBP turns 2 only on March 7, 2014 , I can not believe all that cost me and now is about to fail , I have a Sony VAIO Core 2 Duo for about 5 years (or more) ago and is still running and has been dropped many times and nothing has ever happened : (
Additional data on my MBP ,
Several months ago ( long before the problem with the WIFI) I changed the hard drive for an SSD ( 250GB Corsair Neutron X ) .
There is a problem that often makes me too, is that when you close the MBP ( to open ) , and open it back again ( out of sleep) the following happens :
1 / It instantly freezes when waking from sleep and I have a long wait to enter the password.
2 / When you leave idle normal let me put the password, but just when giving ENTER freezes
3 / Out of sleep, let me put the key, ENTER and when I load the desktop freezes
Another problem :
This only happened to me a few times , as I mentioned , my MBP is formatted ( have Mavericks ) before formatted (clean install without time machine) , I closed the MBP ( I sent to sleep) and the open the screen was black , but as with bright, and not leave the state, turned off force ( pressing the button) , start the MBP again (power on) charged normal gray screen with apple but with a fairly low brightness, spent a few seconds and turned the brightness to normal and started normally .
I hope some can help me with these problems.
PD : I'm from Peru , if anyone knows a trusted service that please let me know .
Thank you very much .

Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

my left click does not work on my track pad on my macbook pro 13 inch, is there a fix

I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 It's possible that something is damaged, and Apple Hardware Test will help you finding it. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test, and connect your Mac to the charger.
If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to insert the Mac OS X DVD to run Apple Hardware Test. As you haven't got the SuperDrive, you will have to buy an external optical drive

How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo

How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo:
I want to known how to install windows 7 on Old Macbook 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo by using usb
I try many time, but after restart bootcamp partition, apple show blinking folder error
I think this firmware not support to install windows by usb
NOTE:
I Cannot install Apple New OSX Mountain Lion, Mavericks etc in this MAC
If I cannot install windows 7 on this MAC, so tell me what I will do with this MAC ?

I agree with the optical drive, mine acted strange, and i thought people were crazy and my drive was shot, but a simple cleaning disc worked miracles.
But- are you trying to reboot with both the USB install and the DVD install both plugged in? that would definitely cause confusion.
Do this, reboot with NOTHING plugged in. Once you hear the Mac chime, immediately press and hold option.
You should only see the Mac HD, and Recovery Partition.
THEN plug in your external DVD, and wait a min or two, you should see a disc icon appear next to the recovery partition that says something like windows. If that doesnt appear after a min or two, unplug it and put the USB stick and do the same thing. I had to do it this way on my mid 09 MBP.
Let me know if this works to start the install. If not we may have to start over with Bootcamp Assistant
