Headphone jack issue on new macbook pro

My Macbook Pro will only play sound out of the left speaker of anything I plug into the headphone jack. It is only one month old and has had no problems before.

Adjust the Balance in the Sound pane of System Preferences, Output tab.

Sync issues with new MacBook Pro

Just got a new MacBook Pro and my Iphone 3gs won't sync, Itunes crashes every time I try to sync. Has anyone had a similar problem or know of a solution? Thanks

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already reinstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Service? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
Do you have any podcasts or slideshows on your phone? If yes, try to delete them before your sync. Also copy your pictures to your mac and delete them on the phone.

Any known ID CS5.5 issues with new MacBook Pro (mid 2012)?

ID CS 5.5 Version 7.5.3
Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
MacBook Pro 13 in (mid 2012)
ID crashes while deleting pages.
No such issues with my previous MacBook Pro (mid 2009) or a 27 in IMAC (mid 2010). Same software versions. Any ideas?

Yeah, I was kinda worried since it is new. I thought maybe I could somehow adjust the brightness on the screen to make the bottom and corners brighter. And perhaps it was a software issue that was causing the keyboard to malfunction. And definitely have no clue about the headphone jack noises. And the bent display. Hmmm. I guess I will call AppleCare.

Battery issue with new MacBook Pro 13 inches

I bought my MacBook Pro on November 2012. I've noticing that my battery will only last for four hours (using chrome, iTunes and Microsoft word) what can I do to fix this problem?
Also: every time I put the computer on sleep mode the next day it shows that 10 percent of the battery has drained.

Projection Issues with NEW MacBook Pro

My slide programs are 1024x768 jpegs at 72ppi that I run through Adobe Bridge's Slideshow. They look beautiful on all my computer screens and look good projected using my older Mac Book laptop using the DVI/VGA cable. The projector I am using is a Hitachi CPX5. Now ... I have a new Mac Book Pro laptop that utilizes the different newer type cable (mini display port/VGA) and the projected jpeg slides just don't look as good as they do with my older laptop. This is very frustrating because one reason I bought the new laptop was for presentations. I tried all the different resolution settings including 'best for projector'. The images look more pixelated or contrasty (like a low res image has been over-sharpened) with the new laptop. Any ideas why it looks better with my old (slow) laptop?
I noticed there are only 3 resolutions in addition to 'best for projector' ; 1680 x 1050, 1280 x 800, 1152 x 720. There is no 1024 x 768. The Hitachi's native resolution is 1024 x 768 and so are my slides.
The graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

Hi paulshamoon, welcome to Apple Discussions!
i know that apple wont exchange it for me with only one dead pixel
That's usually correct but you will never know unless you try. Were I you I would ask anyway, not knowing the outcome certainly. You can't really lose anything.
half an hour into using it and setting everything up it just reboots out of no where, very bothersome
Has this problem recurred since the original issue?
battery life is HORRIBLE. It barely lasts over an hour on a full charge
If you are using the machine under normal usage conditions then this is not normal behavior. However, if you're running the machine at full brightness with the CPU pegged doing video encoding or something similar, then it could be very normal. Under what operating conditions did you get about one hour of battery life?
Will i be able to exchange it for a new one?
Possibly. The battery issue alone could get you a replacement, but I am not sure of Apple's official policy with regards to these new batteries. In the past they would have just given you a new battery, but since the batteries are no longer user-replaceable I am not sure if they would replace the battery themselves or just give you a new machine.
I know apple is really strict
I wouldn't describe them as strict at all. They have always been very understanding when I've had to deal with them. I would give them a chance to make it right. You have the best chance with the battery issue unless your restarting problem recurs often.
Best of luck!

ISight issues with new macbook pro Retina ?

Hi all, since I have my new MPB with Retina display I have been having some issues with the isight camera, when it first boots in photobooth of facetime sometimes the screen (from the camera) is all blue or green and with some weird line and then it stabilizes for a while but the image is all grainy and looks cheap. The guy at the apple hotline told me to reset the SMC and it seemed to have improved a bit but it's still not that good !
Any ideas on what could be happening ?
Thank you all

You're welcome - I Googled "Macintosh webcams" and came up with quite a few different units.
Good luck,

Officejet 6500A E710n scanner issue with new MacBook Pro

I've had the all in one about a year and recently bought the Mac book pro running on latest OSX-10.9 Mavericks.
i installed the relevant printer drivers and it is printing (wirelessly) but does not recognise scanner anywhere. i looked for a separate scanner driver but found none. is it possible to scan from my Mac using this scanner and how do I set it up?

Hi AnastasiaK,
I understand that you cannot scan with the Officejet 6500A and the Mavericks operating system. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
Here is a link for How to Scan: OS X v10.9.
You may rather scan with Apples Print and Scan Window, follow the steps below.
Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
Click Print & Scan .
Click your printer in the left pane.
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to change scan settings.
Figure 1: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
Change any scan settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
OR
Use the following steps to scan from Apple Image Capture.
Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
In the Applications folder or from the Dock, click Image Capture .
Select your printer from the list. If your printer connects to a network, select it from the Shared list. The details of the scan display.
If a ' Software for this device is not installed ' message displays after you select your printer, click Install , and then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Click Show Details to view scan settings and options
You may want to use the Airprint driver rather then the HP driver.
I hope this helped.
Let me know,

Bluetooth headphones don't work with Macbook pro Retina, but they do with iMac. Why???

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I AM MAKING ASSUMPTIONS. My issue, tech spec's and assumptions are listed below.
MY ISSUE:
My Rocketfish headphones work perfectly with my iMac but not with my Macbook Pro Retina.
The Macbook Pro does recognize the device but when I try to connect, it gives me the following error message:
"The device does not have the necessary services".
TECH SPEC
iMac has OS X 10.7.5
Macbook Pro Retina has OS X 10.8.2
MY ASSUMPTION
If I upgrade to 10.8.2 I will not be able to use the headphones.
Or
The new Macbook Pro's are only functional with bluetooth headphones that have certain specs.

Brand new Macbook Pro 10.8.2 very slow wifi

All of my other wireless devices are very quick on my home wifi. I am using a macbook pro, 2.5 GHz i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
I have installed all updates, tried making a new network location, still very slow. 8 hours to download a 4.6 GB app from the store. My 06 iMac will download files this size in minutes and it's still running pre snow leopard OSX. Anyone know whats going on here? I'm very disappointed so far. Hope there is a fix.

My new 2013 MacBook Pro 13" retina had same WiFi issue. Please go to this Website and follow the instructions to change your router's settings. http://www.s0hel.com/blog/401/fixed-slow-wifi-issue-with-new-macbook-pro/
Yesterday I changed my router's settings and now I don't see any WiFi issues.
I hope this works for you.

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard + new MacBook Pro incompatible on wake from sleep

Hello all
I've seen a few discussions on the web re this issue, but no resolutions.
I've been using a 4 year-old (white) Apple Bluetooth Keyboard for some time with my Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and never had an issue with it. Just upgraded to a new Core i5 Unibody MacBook Pro and I'm having problems.
Everything's fine on startup but as soon as my MBP goes to sleep and I wake it back up, I get repeating keystrokes (even though I'm not touching any keys) and the keyboard is unusable until I physically turn it off and then on again.
Just to preempt the responses I've seen to this issue elsewhere: (1) the keyboard's batteries are good, (2) the keyboard still operates perfectly if I associate it with the old MBP, but as soon as I associate it back to the new one the issues are still there, (3) there is nothing causing radio interference around my desk (and as I said it works fine with the older mac).
Does anyone know of any bluetooth issues on new MacBook Pros that could cause this?.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this issue.
Darren

It's not a solution more an observation, but the newer bluetooth (aluminium) keyboards and magic trackpads do not exhibit this behaviour (so it looks like it's specific to that older keyboard for some reason)

New MacBook Pro 13 i5 Wireless Issues.

I got the new MacBook Pro i5 2.3 the day it came out. So maybe a week and half ago.
I`m having intermittent wireless issues. I have done some testing and even replaced my older AirPort Base Station with the new Dual-Band one, but still seeing a drops from the network. I have a ping going to my router and to the ABSE. I tried changing the channel and using 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ. I also have a AirPort express and seen similar results. I tried reseting the PRAM, repairing permission, I did not reinstall the OS but I dont see how this would help. I think there is a hardware issue with the wireless card/antenna.
I did upgrade RAM and HDD was changed to SSD (intel G2 SSD). There are no other issues, machine is fast, no lock ups. Other devices on the network do not seem to drop any connections (ATV, ATV2, iPhone4, iPad etc..)
The network drop outs are short but are noticeable and if a ping is going I can see the drops
*-- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---*
*1527 packets transmitted, 1505 packets received, 1.4% packet loss*
*round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.779/12.203/396.084/42.274 ms*
Any help is appreciated as I`m really frustrated but this issue.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********

Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

Why I am buying a new MacBook Pro now, but, first, any major issues?

With the delay of Ivy Bridge, and with my personal view that the next generation of MacBook Pro notebooks will be dropping FireWire 800 to service a better design, I have decided to purchase a new MacBook Pro now.
I just cannot imagine the new notebooks having a FireWire or Ethernet port, as they add too much thickness.
While I keep MacBook Pros for up to 4-years, I think this new purchase will have to be a transition computer, as the next model will probably be too irresitable. Having the option of then moving my data via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt (Tarket Disk Mode) is very appealing too.
So, any issues with the current line?
Specifically, has anyone had a screen flicker issue or anything else major?
Would anyone dare say Thunderbolt is unreliable?
I really appreciate any thoughts on this - Thank you!

I am so sorry, but you are dead wrong.
First, people get their problems resolved here quickly. A majority of the issues here are "Newbie" issues.
I have been a Mac user since 2007, and I have been on these forums since that time too. I have never once seen a horror story like the ones found on the Dell, Lenovo, and HP support forums that pop up on an hourly basis.
Read those forums, and you will get tears in your eyes.
Anytime I have called Apple or visited an Apple Store, they have treated me like a God.
Apple hardware is bullet proof made of the best materials on the planet. A MacBook Pro is far stronger and more durable than any ThinkPad, Dell Precision, or HP Elitebook.
Just open up a MacBook Pro to look at the insides as compared to the disaster zones of the aforementioned PCs.
Oh.... and no bloody stickers on MY notebook.
Everything just works.
Little things come up, but they are always solved.
Now, add programs like Joint Venture, and heaven is a place on earth.
No PC company comes close to treating their customers the way Apple has treated me since 07.
Apple has earned my business for life.
Right now, I can schedule a call with Apple - What PC company does that?
Apple = Unequaled products, service, and support. No PC company can come close to any of those three traits.
PS
And none of those PC forums have people like Kappy, Eww, Bee, Niel, iVmichael, sig, Etresoft, (yourself), and all the other fine members of this community that make it such a pleasure...

Internet issues on my new Macbook Pro.

I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on an issue I have been having! I've just got a new Macbook Pro, so late 2011 model and ever since having it I have had issues with the internet. Forgive me if I'm not able to explain very well what is going on, but ill give it my best shot.
So I'm Wi-Fi to connect, which is on a 10mb connection, and using Safari on the Mac. When I first open Safari, the apple home page loads straight away no issue. I tend to be able to use the net for about 10 minutes without any issue. Then, for no reason whatsoever, Ill click on a link or type a web address, and it will take FOREVER to load, sometimes it won't load at all. I'm not talking anything heavy with pics or video, just a standard webpage, it could be anything. The other issue I have, is for example like today, I was on the guardian website, and I opened a few links in some new tabs, probably about 8 in total and the same thing always happens. Some load instantly, some take forever, so fail to open at all. If I turn the Wifi off on the Mac, and literally straight back on again, and refresh any page, it will load instantly (about 80% of the time this works). then after a few minutes same thing happens. Then after a while, it will go back to normal again and so forth and so forth! It's becoming quite frustrating. The wifi connection isnt lost, its still connected according tot he symbol at the top, it just isnt working.
The best way I can describe it, is its like the router is getting 'clogged up' and struggles to get any info to my Mac. then after a while, it de-clogs itself and were good to go for a few minutes again.
I've never had this problem, with my main pc which is connected wirelessly, or even my little netbook I was using as a laptop before this. I was able to open as many links and tabs as I wanted with no issue, and never had hang times like this whilst waiting for anything to open! There doesnt appear to be an issue with my connection, as every pc, phone and even ps3 can connect without a single issue. The PS3 will happily stream HD netflix without any issue over wifi
I'm not sure what is going on! When my Mac is downloading big files, it never seems to have any problems and the d/l speed stays pretty consistent. I've run speediest at various points during various days, and I'm getting a pretty steady 10mb.
Anyone that can shed any light would be a lifesaver!! I'm hoping there isn't an issue with the Mac however this is getting to the point of unbearable, and im close to returning the **** thing!
Thanks in advance!

Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Configure New TM on a New Macbook pro with retina display Issue

I have bought a new New Macbook pro with retina display laptop (Lion moutain OS)and a new TM (2TB).
I have an internet router with wireless connect.
I plugged TM to the router with an ethernet cable.
Connect my TM to my macbook with an ethernet cable.(at this point I still cannot see TM on my Mac)
then I choose Time capsule from WiFi as shown below:
Then the airport utility (version 6.1) opened and start configuring TM but it gives an expected error when it is starting to join the TM!!!!
I have reset the TM several time but with no hope.
PS: I can configure the same TM on a normal laptop with windows 7 installed and Airport utility 5.6
I am struggling on this issue for weeks and I cannot yous TM on my macbook pro.
Help please.

Time Capsule .. TC is the hardware box you bought.. Time Machine is the software you use in the Mac computer.. so what you generally refer to as TM is really TC.. !!
I can configure the same TM on a normal laptop with windows 7 installed and Airport utility 5.6
That is great.. you do not need to setup the Time Capsule at all then. It is already setup.. forget using 6.1 utility.. it is useless toy version.
Just use it.. open Time Machine and see if you can connect to the TC drive to do backup.. and to the wireless.
From your statements..
Connect my TM to my macbook with an ethernet cable.(at this point I still cannot see TM on my Mac)
You are trying to connect with both wireless and ethernet at once.. This can mess things up. choose wireless or ethernet.. not both.
If you keep running into issues.. reset the TC.. I know yet again.
Set it up using SMB names.. for both the TC itself and wireless.
Then lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz.. use channel 1, 6, or 11 (13 in europe) and see how it goes.
