Has anyone seen this issue ??? I am so mad with my 1 day-old MacbookPro 17

I just got my MBP 17 this morning. I have been using it for 5 hours with better battery life, but terrible thing happened. I have found hard drive was clicking 10 seconds per time, and computer freezing for many times and even tonight(just now). I was using iPhoto, the display........ I'm so mad !!! see this photo.http://www.flickr.com/photos/36803478@N02/3391042473/

I personally would start with a reinstall of OS X. It's not that difficult and might solve your problems. The first Mac I ever bought was a Mini a couple of years ago. It did not work correctly out of the box and I was seriously bummed. Reloaded OS X from the disk that shipped with it and I was off and running. Not saying for sure that you will be, but that's Step 1 IMHO...

All firefox components have disappeared. Has anyone seen this issue or have a solution?

Since last few days, my firefox browser does not display any components like address bar, buttons, even the area where the webpage is displayed. I think there was a firefox update that took place before this happened but I am not sure.
What have I tried so far :
1) uninstalled and installed firefox : got the latest firefox stub installer and installed. The issue is still there.
2) Tried to get the installer : tried to get the installer (not the stub that fetches file online during installation). Maybe I got an older one Firefox Setup 3.6.8.exe. this was working fine. I made it update itself using help menu. It updated a few time and was fine. But the last time it updated, it again started showing me the blank window.
What do I run : Windows 7, 32 bit, 4gb ram. i3 processor
Screenshot : trying to attach it.
Till then the description of what I see : the windows frame that is translucent is present and the area where the page is displayed is black. No buttons or address bar or anything. close, min, max button is present. if I hit ctrl b, the bookmark area is taken up by the translucent windows frame but nothing is displayed.

hello, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23763 (for win7 32 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

My iPad will not connect to a computer with the cable which means no updates or down loads. I have tried new cables and different computers. Has anyone seen this before?

Has anyone seen this issue before?

Possibly. Do you have other devices and will they connect?
One possible thing that it could be is that the USB port on your iPad has gone bad. It happened to mine. Couldn't sync, could barely charge (it said 'not charging' even when plugged into the wall)
I'd take it to the apple store, see if they can replicate it, and if they can, then they can diagnose it. Just back it up before you go, in case they do exchange it.

Itunes doesn't display graphics, only text, has anyone seen this?

Just loaded iTunes 10.5 on Windows...only TEXT is displayed...has anyone seen this?

I have this exact problem, and it occurs on every device I own: iMac, Macbook, iPad, Win 7. The explanation for the issue is that the stylesheet isn't coming over (.CSS).
Because it occurs on every device in my house, I'm assuming there's something in my wireless router configuration that's causing it. I haven't found the issue yet, but I'm digging through my modem configuration to see.
go to either http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
That's your modem's IP address. If you can figure out what's in the configuration that's causing it, please post back.

Has anyone seen this display problem?

I even changed my video card and still had the same issue? has anyone seen this or know how to fix this issue?
I tried to show a screen capture but didnt have any luck but the issue is alot of my icons are showing pink lines on them and when in certain application and safari the pictures are showing up all pixelated with pink and green pixels instead of displaying the correct image? is it possible the AGP slot is bad? i just upgraded to 10.5.8 hoping to correct the problem but no luck. Also this is a Power PC 1.8 ghz.
Thank You

I wasn't notified that you asked me a question or that there was a new post on this topic. I should have been, that bugs me.
Anyhow... Mr. Ah
The problem that some people, mostly with a certain video card, were having was when they updated from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5. For many of them the problem went away when they went through the hassle of reverting back to 10.5.4.
Did you +just recently+ update to 10.5.5? If you have, then their fix is for you too, going back to 10.5.4. If you have had 10.5.5 installed for a while now, and this just started happening, chances are good that it is your video card, or perhaps something affecting it like dust and dirt like DP says above.
If you have another start up drive, firewire or internal, and you had enough space on it you might consider installing a previous OS 10.5 on there and start up from it. If the problem went away you would know it's 10.5.5. Perhaps even if you started up from your OS disc the problem might go away and again you'd know it was 10.5.5. Apple was made aware of the problem on some machines and said they were going to come out with a fix, but I don't think they ever did.
Post back and say what the situation is, especially if you just recently updated to 10.5.5.
And post back with what kind of G5 you have, look in the "About this Mac" window.
Your card may be dying, but on the other hand it might be as easy as pulling it out, blowing it out, and putting the card back in again.

Has anyone seen this behaviour of AccessHW In Port?

Yesterday I was trying to check the operation of a plug-in PCMCIA parallel port, specifically I wanted to know if there were any timing issues with this device on an XP machine, so I thought I would try the AccessHW In and Out functions in Labview. I installed an old copy of Labview 6.1 (It was 5:50PM and I wanted to do this fast!) and tried it.
Reading the memory location where the device's status port was supposed to be just returned zero. Strange, I thought, so I tried some other addresses in the I/O range. I got zero from every single one. I tried the same on my own laptop, which is also XP, and I was getting sensible numbers from addresses in I/O space.
Has anyone seen this behaviour? The machine has McAffee on-access protection running, which cannot be disabled (company IT policy), and I have a suspicion that this might be blocking accesses to low memory, is this possible?

Sorry... my mind is not working well this morning You had mentionned that in your original post and the fact that it is a PCMCIA parallel port.
As for the address location, I have seen addresses in the 0x2000 region for add-on parallel ports (not PCMCIA).
I haven't used a PMCIA device with Win-XP. Does the address info for that port appear under properties when you look at the HW devices within the Control Panel's System. From what I can recall, you can change the PCMCIA serial port number within the HW device, so maybe the properties will list the address..
Have you checked this?
RayR.

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Has anyone had this issue? There is a fine white powder (no coke jokes) covering anything plastic in my apartment. It's coming from my iMac, I discovered yesterday. For 6 months this mysterious powder has been in my abode, probably in my lungs, too.

Has anyone had this issue? There is a strange fine white powder covering anything plastic in my apartment. It's coming from my iMac. It's a year and a half old (out of warranty). After 6 months of trying to figure this out, I found out yesterday when my local Apple Sore offered to fix it for $700. I want to know how toxic this powder is, since I've been breathing it for 6 months. A carcinogen I'll bet.

If an Apple employee (repair tech) doesn't know what it is.............
Suggest that you do a Google search for the "guts" of your model/generation iMac. See what the "guts" are made of and post back your findings.
We are just ordinary users like yourself that help out here. I for one, would be very interested to know if your iMac has a "monkey on it's back."
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn... Has anyone resolved this issue??

I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn...
Since I changed OX to Mavericks, my macpro does not connect to the HP printer (laserJet P2055dn)
Has anyone had this issue? Anyone resolved this??

How do you force the printer driver to reinsall?
I delete the printer and re-added, but nothing changes.
All the forums topics concerning driver updates reference the App Store, but I cannot find anything there.
Nor I can download the driver from the vendor website, as it also redirects me to the App Store, where nothing happens.
I am new to Mac, so the question may be a silly one.
Thank you for your help.

Problems with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4 after upgrade to Snow Leopard. Has anyone seen this?

We've just now upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and are having a problem with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4. A clip with an alpha which keyed perfectly before the upgrade, now will not key. If I convert the clip to the Animation codec, it keys perfectly. If I export the Motion project as a ProRes 4444 self contained movie, it will key when brought into FCP 7 but if I import the project into FCP 7, it will show the key in the viewer but not the canvas. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions on how to correct this? Is it a bug?
Thanks,

Motion 4.0.3
It just doesn't seem to recognize the alpha at all.

Has anyone seen this MacBook Pro 15" 2008 problem before?

Hi. My MacBook Pro has developed a fault whereby a horizontal line appears on the screen, the mac freezes then a host of vertical lines gradually appear on the screen until it is obscured. Something similar happened in May last year and Apple charged me over £300 to repair it, replacing the 'mother board'.
I have so far taken it into the Apple shop twice in the last week (a two hour round trip). Both times they have opened it, cleaned it and declared it fixed. This time it lasted about an hour before happening again, although this time at least I've been able to restart it.
Has anyone seen this before, or have any advice about how best to proceed?
I have put a video of the symptoms here:

Has anyone seen this problem? :(

Hey Everyone,
I picked the new white 30 gb ipod video up yesterday. I opened it set it up and transfered all my vids and music. Now my problem is the clickwheel. It scrolls about 200 (literally songs at a time and is not acurate with the amount of contacct i have with it. I tried resetting, and now restoring. What shouold I do? Has anyone seen this problem yet?
Anything helps,
J.Martin

Sounds like a strange HW problem. Before you return it, I'd try a Restore, resync, and check it. If it STILL does thast, you need to check with Apple Support.

HT4528 The icons on my iphone have all changed to large and I cannot change it back to normal view. Has anyone seen this happen?

My phone's display has changed as if it were stretched like we can do with photo's except it affects the whole phone. It won't go back to a normal display even after shutting it off and restarting. Has anyone seen this and how did you resolve?

Thank you...this did the trick. I had forgotten about that zoom feature. Now I will ALWAYS remeber it!
Thank you,
Deb
