FileVault Bug – set up my MacBook Pro 2010

Hey, I just wanted to set up my MacBook Pro (generation 2010) from scratch. I am currently running Mavericks without any major bugs. The thing is, I always had problems with my FileVault account. When I installed Mavericks there was the panel "former FileVault" and FileVault" in the theme "Security". I disconnected the old one, agreed to the new one, because first I always hat to enter my password twice for the old one and the new system. Now I wanted to boot from the DVD I got when I bought it. Odly, I've got two. 10.5.6 for "MacBook" and 10.5.7 for "13-inch MacBook Pro". I tried both. It wouldn't boot. Does anybody have an idea how?

Elisabeth158,
if you have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, then its original grey Mac OS X Install DVD has either 10.6.3 or 10.6.4 on it. The grey installation DVDs are model-specific; neither your 10.5.6 MacBook DVD nor your 10.5.7 13-inch MacBook Pro DVD will work with a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro. Your 10.5.6 MacBook DVD will go with one of an Aluminum Late 2008 MacBook, an Early 2009 MacBook, or a Mid 2009 MacBook. Your 10.5.7 13-inch MacBook Pro DVD goes with a 13-inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro.

Can I set up my Macbook Pro to boot to Win 7 from an external drive?

Rather than partition my internal drive for having to work with Windows & Office 2010 (specifically Access 2010) can I set up my macbook pro to boot to Win 7 from an external drive?

No, not with Boot Camp. I've never even tried it with a VM (which I use) - I keep all the data on my internal drive. I'm not saying that it couldn't be done with a VM, I've just never tried it.

My MacBook Pro 2010 won't update from 10.6.8 to 10.9

Recently I tried updating my MacBook Pro 2010 13 inch from osx 10.6.8 to osx 10.9.
On the mavericks installer my hard drive is greyed out and when I try to click on it to install mavericks it just says "you cannot install osx to this harddrive". My specs are 4 GB of ram, 2.4ghz processor, 250 GB harddrive with 249 GB of free spaces.
Please help!

How is the drive formatted and what is the Partition Table set to. If you have a format of "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Case sensitive" or the Partition Table is set to anything other than GUID that might be the reason Mavericks won't install. Not really sure but check that out.
Other than that you could backup you Mac with time machine, wipe the drive, actually repartition it with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled) [NO Case Sensitive] and a partition table of GUID and do a clean install of Snow Leopard, Update that to 10.6.8 then upgrade to Mavericks use Migration assistant to restore your files setting and apps.

Frequent aero crashes in Windows 7 - Macbook Pro 2010

Hi all,
has anyone come across this issue?
I have had continuous Aero crashes in my Windows 7 x64 installation and the new Macbook Pro 2010 with nvidia 330m.
During window resizing, video playback, aero and the whole desktop window manager will frequently crash. I have reinstalled twice the operating system, installed alternate nvidia forceware drivers (from laptopvideo2go.com) with no success.
When such a crash occurs the following error message is recorded in the Windows Event Log, Application category: 'The Desktop Window manager has encountered a fatal error'.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks
Theo

I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to paste over! Here's what happens to me. I've got 257.15 downloaded and extracted. Then I go here:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/enhancer
I select driver version 257.15, set it for performance, select a number of different options on the page, most of which mean nothing to me, and download a ile named nv4_disp.inf. The problem is that I can't "replace" that file because that file doesn't exist in the driver installation folder. There are a lot of inf files, but none of them have that name.
I've tried to install directly from the generated inf file by selecting update driver on the display adapter, then going manually to the inf file. It works up to the point where it shows me the 330M as compatible hardware, but when I try to install it, it says it encountered an error while attempting to install it, "The system cannot find the file specified."
So what's up with my inf file? I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong there.
One thing that may complicate this is that I uninstalled and deleted the Boot Camp driver while following another set of instructions on how to fix this issue. Do I need to reinstall that driver, by chance? Then upgrade from that?
Any tips on how to recover and get back working again (preferably with updated less crash prone drivers!) would be hugely appreciated. I do development on Windows 7 and have been having a LOT of crash issues related to this!

Macbook Pro (2010) Overheating

Hi I've recently been having problems that I haven't seen before on my Macbook Pro (2010). Lately I've been seeing consistant overhating issues while playing games in Windows that I haven't seen before doing the same thing. One situation sees the computer forcing itself going to sleep and another seeing the computer completely lockup and crash, requiring a hard reset.
The computer's fans of course are running at the full 6000 rpm but I'm seeing peaks of 105 degrees celsius in the CPU and 85-90 degrees in the GPU. I'm yet to replicate the crashes while my temperature gauges are running so I will update accordingly.
This computer is still under Applecare warranty so I wanted to get some advice before my next move, will Applecare cover issues like this and is this a credible complaint on the hardware?

Actually the temperatures that you quote, though high, are not lethal to your MBP. There are internal temperature sensors in the MBP that will shut down the unit before any damage from heat occurs.
You might do the following: Open the unit up and see if the is any dust or dirt has accumulated, particularly in the fan and the vents. Clean it out with care if that is the case.
When the fans start spinning, open Activity Monitor and select 'All Processes' and set the '% CPU' from high to low to check to see if you may have some application that is causing a problem. Read the attached link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1473
Run an Apple Hardware Test if that picks up any issues, particularly if there is a bad sensor.
An SMC reset might mitigate the the problem.

If no change, an appointment at the Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis is the last stop,
Ciao.

Can you drag windows to the other display?
In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

Can't force Macbook Pro 2010 to shutdown

Hi,
I'd like to know what could be happening:
I can't force the macbook pro to shut down by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds.
I press an hold it for about one minute and nothing happens. I only get menu to choose between restart, sleep, cancel and shut down.
I will appreciate any help.
thank you
Message was edited by: mgcharlie

thank you very much for your help.
I'm aware of the risks of forcing shut down and always shut down by choosing this on the apple menu, but there are times when you need to force shut down.
Right now I'm experiencing the freeze bug on the new macbooks pro. While everybody report they have to force shut down, thats not a option for me. The first time my system froze I tried to force shut down with no luck. I tried several times until I got it to shut down, after 30 seconds or more holding the power button. I really don't know if my battery went off or I got it to force shutting down.
Now I'm trying to force shut down just to see if it works and it doesn't work at all.
do you have any idea what could be happening?
thank you

Where can i get the macbook pro (2010) bootcamp drivers for windows 7?

I recently decided to install windows 7 ultimate (32-bit) on my macbook pro (2010 model). However my macbook did not come with installation disks, i know this for a fact and it came pre installed with 10.6. And when i try to download the windows support files through bootcamp assistant, it says that the download cannot continue. So where can i get these drivers from?

All MBP's with Snow Leopard (10.6) came with an installaton disc, and that is where the drivers are, if you don't have (or didn't get) the disc contact Apple for a replacement, there is no downloadable version of BC3

My Sandisk cruzer thumb drive 4.0GB (which is very old, roughly 10 years and I'm not sure about the model) reads "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when inserted in my Macbook pro 2010. How do I get it to work?

My Macbook Pro 2010 with the latest OS does not open a particular Sandisk Cruzer 4.0GB (which is an old model, about 10 years) thumbdrive with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". Will I be able to read it on my macbook?

Is it readable in a Windows computer? If not then you can try Disk Utility to repair the drive-- although that may be dangerous too.
I haven't had this problem so I out of safe ideas. There are ustilies out there. I used the seach term "repair flash drive Mac OS X" to locate some of these.
If the data is essential there are pay-for services to recover data looked the price was in the range $50 - $1000
All the best.
