Firmware for MacBook Pro 17 not available

I would like to install latest MacBook pro SMC firmware
to be able to control fan and get rid of that called
"cow fan noise"
Unfortunately, that firmware update do not applied to
MacBook Pro 17 "
Why MBP 17 " could not get those additional fan
control features ?!

...because the SMC update is not required for the 17" or the new 15" MBPs - the update was already applied at the factory.

can i make a dmg file right after download? its really really long when using recovery and my ml from the regular macbook pro is not compatible with the retina and im not sure why it works well with other macs except for this one. thanks so much. having a headache now on how to make it work.
As you can only get OS X from Internet Recovery, you can't get the OS X Mountain Lion stored on the HDD and make a bootable volume with it. Also, you can't install the OS X version you have on your other Mac because the hardware of this MacBook Pro with Retina display isn't compatible with that OS X version.
In your case, reinstall OS X and see what happens. If you can't reinstall OS X, take the computer to an Apple Store because you can't do anything with that MacBook Pro now

My Contacts app for macbook pro will not connect with my yahoo and keeps asking for password.

My Contacts app for macbook pro will not connect with my yahoo account and repeatedly asks for yahoo password, any soliutions to this?

This is due to a change in Yahoo's security settings. You need to go into your Yahoo account settings and create a special App Password, then use that password in Contacts to access your account. Same goes for Calendar.

SMC-Firmware for MacBook Pro 2010 (7,1)

Hey,
I have a serious problem with my 13-inch MacBook Pro Late 2010 (Modell 7,1): a few days after shipping Mountain Lion, Apple has shipped a wrong update for me via "Software Updates" the in the AppStore. To name it: I received a SMC-Update for a 2010 MacBook Air.
My Mac was broken afterwards but due to the help of an experienced friend of mine, we were able to bypass SMC and to install a SMC-Firmware of a MacBook Pro 5,1 (Code: 1.32f8). Why this Firmware and not mine? There is no 7,1 SMC download on the Apple Support Page for my MacBook Pro.
Although it should be able for Apple to deliver a 7,1 SMC Firmware to me, they are not willing to do so. I have tried the 8,1 13" SMC-Firmware which is not working for me.
My question is: first of all, out to all the owners of a MacBook Pro 7,1: would it be able to "extract" their SMC-Firmware (maybe create an installer.pkg) and send it to me? Or does anyone have an ideo how to solve my problem?
I would be very happy to hear from you soon!
Yours,
little_joe

The recent firmware for Macbook Pro (2011) won't install

MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7
I tried to install this but all I got was the gray screen of doom. After 12 hours of the gray screen, unplugged and let the battery run down. Macbook booted up (yay) and the software update says it still needs to be installed.
Should I just skip it and play the rare odds?
Thanks.

I had this same problem, but stopped it after 2 1/2 hours. I did a hard shutdown (held down the power button until it powered down), waited a few minutes and then started it back up. Thank goodness the MBP came back. Must be something wrong with this update. Wonder if Apple knows about it? Do their techs watch this forum?
First time I've had problems like this installing an Apple update.

Macbook Pro "Battery not available" + kernel_task cpu usage

Hi everyone,
I have done some searching around and I see that both of these problems are reasonably common, but I don't see much discussion of them happening together.
First up, a description: My early 2011 15" mbp (240gb vertex 3 ssd and 750gb hdd in optibay, running OSX 10.7.3) became sluggish a week or so ago. I noticed unusually high cpu use by several tasks in activity monitor (usually kernel_task but also finder, itunes and others). Usually when I am epeiencing this problem I also notice that the battery icon has changed to a cross and reports "no batteries available". If I unplug the power, the machine instantly powers off and will not power back on without the power supply connected, at which point the white lights on the front of the machine flash for a few seconds before the machine boots as normal. Pressing the battery meter on the side causes all LEDs to flash. Interestingly, if I power on with the power supply connected, but then unplug it as the machine boots, the machine continues to run (although the system still fails to detect a battery). This leads me to believe that the battery itself is sound. Sometimes these problems happen independantly of each other. For example, I have noticed the resource use is high even in the brief periods where the battery is detected.
Now the twist: if I boot into Windows 7 the battery is detected as normal. If I then reboot into OSX everything works normally for a random amount of time before the problem reoccurs.
Things I have tried:
Clearing various cache's
Resetting the SMC (power button hold method is what I tried, though I got no feedback from the machine itself that anything had happened and I am unsure if this is the correct method for my model).
removing all login items for my user account
deleting finder preferences
removing all non-apple startup kexts
So what do people think? Broken SMC? If it did turn out to be this issue, is this a relatively easy fix? Will they replace the whole machine? I have 3 years of apple care, but this is my main work machine and I can't do without it for more than a couple of days. Also my nearest apple store is a train ride away.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Since you have tried the SMC reset, I suggest that you make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be free regardless of warranty status.
Ciao.

My Macbook Pro will not play a Disney DVD (Howl's Moving Castle). It says supported disc not available but it plays on my cousin's Macbook Pro.

Basically my macbook pro will not play this one DVD. It is a dvd that is fresh out of the package that I order from amazon and it is the second dvd that I have tried. Amazon sent me a new dvd when there were problems but both are not working but my laptop will play all other dvds, including the bonus dvd that came with the dvd i am trying to watch. I tried playing the dvd in my cousin's macbook pro and it worked. I already repaired discs permissions and restarted my computer but i cannot get this dvd to play for the life of me. When I put it in the disc drive the laptop buzzes for a few seconds then spits it out. When I open dvd player before hand and hit play it gives the message "supported disc is not available"

The laptop is about 2 years old, and I watch a lot of movies on it. I would think I had set the region but I could be wrong. I'm in North America wouldn't that be the preset? Also, how would you go about changing or double checking that. Also if a movie was from a collaboration of disney and studio ghibli (japanese studio) would that mean I have to change the region just for that one movie? It would be weird if it were that way because I have another movie by disney and studio ghibli, and it plays, for that matter so does the bonus feature disc that came with this movie....

ZeroShock sleeve case for MacBook Pro is available...

In case anyone is looking for one, the ZeroShock sleeve case fitted for MacBook Pro is available at:
http://shinza.com/productinfo.php?productsid=57
Although the manufacturer is Japanese, the product is apparently in inventory and shipped from their California warehouse.
I have ordered, but not yet received.
Enjoy.

Ya the Biolithic is perfect for that application. I got one while my MBP was in for repairs so it's never been used. It comes with a screen protector, laptop bag, and peripherals bag. I can do $35 ($7 cheaper than if you bought from Biolithic) shipped, let me know if you're interested.
Thanks,

The airport card on my macbook pro is not functioning. In the airport firmware folder it says that it opens with final cut express. Is this the problem and how do i solve it?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
    Play sound effects through:
   Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

HT1338 I can not empty my trash can my MacBook Pro can not save anything because of it.No room available error.what can I do? I also have Windows 7 on my Mac.

I can not empty my trash and my MacBook Pro can not save anything because there is no space left".No room available error."what can I do? I also have Windows 7 on my Mac.

If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

My new HDD for Macbook pro 13" unibody is not recognized and I am using a new SATA cable

Hey everyone,
I have a particular problem that I cannot seem to find an answer to. My new 500gb internal drive for my Macbook Pro 13" unibody is not recognized. The old HDD broke on me so I bought a new one but my macbook pro would not recognize it. To troubleshoot that issue I purchased the SATA cable and replaced the old with the new. The new HDD still will not show up in disk utility.
Please let me know what you think I may have missed or should do.
Thank you

jc1388,
Bring it to an Apple store Genius bar (make an appointment, so you don,t have to wait around forever) they will diagnose it for free and tell you your options/pricing. They have more extensive testing tools, maybe your logic board is failing/failed.
best of luck

The charger for my Macbook pro is not working.

For some unknown reason, the charger for my Macbook pro is not charging. The green light that is at the connection does not turn on. The outlet power source remains good. Am I stuck having to buy another charger?

Try performing an SMC reset:

can you post the symptoms that make you think the notebook is not charing? Does the battery display change when you connect and disconnect the charger?
