On my macbook pro, was running on Yosemite and suddenly on starting the system I see "prohibited" sign. After trying a lot of combination of keys, I added external SSD and booted but it came up with Lion version.

Greetings skewat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your Mac is booting to a prohibitory sign. In this situation, to help resolve the issue, I would suggest reading over and working through the information in the attached article.

Need major advice-Iphone,Ipad,Mac Book Pro syncing issues

I just purchased Mac Book Pro this weekend and I also have Iphone 4S and Ipad 1..all now with latest software update. I used a hard drive to save my music and photos from my old PC and imported them into Itunes on new Mac....when I sync Iphone it will not transfer any photos or apps that I originally had on my old computer or any new apps that I have downloaded since the purchase of the new computer. Itunes begins to sync, goes through some of the processes then cancels the sync. This is very disappointing being that I bought the Mac Book to have simple and seamless syncing between IPhone, Ipad 1 and Mac.
In addition, when I downloaded the new software to my Ipad 1, it did a hard reset and I lost every app on my Ipad. Someone please help me get these devices working in harmony!!!!!! I'm desperate and pulling my hair out......Thank you in advance!!!

Mac book pro Boot Camp / track pad

Hello, recently i bought a Mac Book Pro- 15.4 inch- 2.4 ghz- I want to run windows on the computer as a dual boot using boot camp. I noticed that parallels has an option to sorta "steal" my curent desktop PC's information and use that as the windows part. Is there a way to do this with bootcamp so i do not need to re-purchase windows? if so please share :]. Also i dont know if this is normal or not but my tackpad (edge nearest the keyboard) seems like it doesnt have very much adhesive under it, because it starts sticking up like a sticker does when its running out of adhesive. is this something easily fixed by the genious bar, or do i need to leave it for awhile.
Thanks for you help,
James Gravis

You should probably post your question in the Boot Camp discussions:

How do Dual Monitor with my Mac Book Pro (Boot camped with Windows 8) through my mini display port VIA Thunderbolt to a iMac (Model Mid 2011)?

So I have a Mac Book Pro with a bootcamp Windows 8. I dual monitor on the Mac side with my Mid 2011 iMac through my mini display port via thunder bolt cable. In my perfect world, I would be able to switch to the Windows side and have the iMac mirror or extend my windows display for my gaming pleasure, etc. I'm not sure if it's just a simple driver or that it cannot be done. Please help. Thanks.

so you want the notebook forum, not this one

Installing Windows XP 2002 Sp2 On mac book pro, Boot Camp

I have a mac book pro and i want to install windows XP on it, but i ran into a problem.
While using boot camp i followed the instructions and i got to the point where Windows XP is supposed to ask for partition drive, but in my case it gives me an error saying that Windows XP disc is not valid. I bought my Windows XP Sp 2 Disc at wal mart couple of years ago. It works fine on my HP PC but not on this one. What is the problem and why does it do that?

You should ask in the Bootcamp forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237

Hi all, my mac book pro boots up, but my track pad operation is strange, cannot click on anything, although it moves around screen ok. Cannot launch anything, nor close anything. Cannot get task bar to pop up either with the mouse movement.

Hi All,
My mac book pro 13". It boots ok and skype launches on boot up. connects to internet etc. However, whilst the mouse moves around the scren ok, used via the track pad, I cannot open anything, close anything, or get the task bar to pop up.
I can close the laptop down via the power key, and can use some short cut keys, but the track pad operation is iffy, can you suggest how I rectify this.
I have now solved this, for future reference, I have a magic track pad as well and that was connected via bluetooth and sitting else where in the house. It blocked the laptops trackpad operations. When disconnected, my laptop track pad works fine.
Cheers

Mac book pro - general issues i'm having

I swear since i bought my macbook pro 9 months ago there has been nothing but trouble with it. The longer i have it the more that seems to go wrong. Now i have a few issues and were wondering if these were normal or not really.
The first issue i have is with the touch pad button. Over time it feels as if it has become slightly raised to one side since i tend to use the left side of it to click down on and my right hand to maneuver the track pad. Anyway basically the right side has now become raised up and makes a horrible clicking noise whenever its used and has to be pressed down with alot of pressure.
Another issue i've had is the heat of my laptop. I know they get hot on your legs which isn't the issue. I'm more worried if it's healthy for it to be so hot. Using a widget i have i can check the temp of certain parts, some parts get up to 70 degrees celcius or more =/. On a normal computer that would mean goodbye from what i know.
Atm just using safari and nothing else but coconut battery open here's the following temperatures (Degrees Celcius):
HD: 42
CPU A: 57
Airport Card: 55
Enclosure base: 36
GPU Diode: 65
GPU Heatsink: 56
Heat Sink A: 57
Heat sink B: 45
Now I'm a big multi tasker, and when i have photoshop, firefox, safari (I us them both for different tasks) and illustartor open as well as MSN and skype these can get in excess of 60 degrees C. When playing games it gets even worse, often 70+ degrees C. Now these temperatures are worrying to me. Should i be worried?
Now i also have the issue of my macbook pro being horribly sluggish. My hard drive has 60GB free. Now what possibly may be the problem is I have windows XP dual booted as well as I often use a virtual machine for MIRC (I have yet to find a decent alternate mac based client i'm happy with). Anyway what can i do to increase my performance, because i'm not very happy right now with how sluggish it gets.
Another problem is the damned chargers. I am currently on my third one. I'm worried that when my warrenty goes im going to have to keep replacing them =/. My first one basically overheated, sparked and died. Wouldnt work no more. Second one the cord had exposed wires at the base of the charger. Now has anyone else had issues with this?
Ok, and that's it for now.

What gets to 70ºC, smash_you2 ? There is nothing abnormal about CPU temps around 70ºC when the computer is working moderately hard. Core 2 Duo temps can get much higher than this. Many Dell users, for example were reporting temps closer to 100ºC for their C2D CPU's on their discussion boards recently. 70ºC is typical of working fairly hard, but far from extreme.
One thing I would be worried about from your comments, though, is the suggestion of deformation in the track pad/ button area. THis can sometimes result from a defective battery becoming deformed. THis, in turn can result in greater heat from the charging system and the battery itself. I'd be more stressed about this possibility than the temperatures that your widget is quoting. Check your battery condition using system profiler.
Running in "dual boot" mode will, of course, always diminish performance generally, as your computer won't have the same CPU and memory resources available for the primary OS that it would otherwise possess.

Mac book pro / boot camp "answers" for dummies

I followed the Installation and Setup Guide word for word...there were just a few words missing that really made it difficult, caused much frustration and almost had a mbp fly out a car window. I am a dummy!
Always print off the Guide and read it first, I read it as I went along and that was a mistake.
Step 1: Updating Firmware
My MBP arrives June 19 and already had the firmware updates. I did need to update OSX to 10.4.7.
Step 2: Download Boot Camp
Visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
Click download. (here is where the installation guide failed to mention some key instructions) Before you can "Burn a Macintosh CD" you must follow the next few steps.
a.) Agree to terms
b.) Select the Macintosh HD
c.) When its done downloading double-click the package icon on your desktop
d.) Put in your blank recordable cd, go into your HD, Applications, Utilites folder, double-click the boot-camp icon.
e.)This is where the installation guide picks up the rest of the instructions. A screen comes up that allows you to burn a macintosh driver cd. Follow the instructions in the guide.
Step 3: Creating a partition
In the guide they don't mention FAT or NTFS formats until after you create the partition. That was dumb! (if you read all the instructions first, instead of following along you would have partitioned differently)
a.) FAT-Provides better compatibility, but must be 32 GB or smaller...now you tell me!
Step 3 continued: Selecting the Windows partition
Here they scare the crap out of you by telling you not to do anything other than select the C drive.
a.) The first screen that comes up is the Windows XP Professional Setup, looks like the one in the Guide but without an option to select C:Partition3. Your only option was to "Install". My jaw dropped..now what??
b.) Click install, the next screen gives you the options. (boy, I was lucky)
c.) Remember what I said about the size of your partition and FAT vs NTFS
Step 4: Installing Macintosh Drivers
They mention here that there "may be" hidden windows that you must respond to or nothing will happen, THERE ARE GOING TO BE AT LEAST 3 HIDDEN WINDOWS....just be aware of that so your not sitting like a dummy waiting for stuff to happen
The rest of the Guide is pretty word for word and easy to follow. Good Luck, hope this saves you some of the frustration I experienced, boy, do I feel dumb!
Simple things you may need to know...
1. "Right-click" by holding the control (ctrl) key and click the mouse at the same time.
2. Select operating system by holding option key at start-up
3. Back up your domain files if use iweb or else you will lose it all....talking from experience here!
Good Luck

Very nice write up.Should help more than a few dum...er,uh...people.

BB Curve, Pocket Mac, Mac Book Pro sync issues, all of a sudden

Hi, new to the forum here, but not to Blackberry or Mac! I've been using this sync combo since it's inception back when I first got a 7100, then with my T-Mobile Curve when it came out, with little or no problems. I now, all of a sudden, have issues! I did look around at some other posts to see if I could find a solution, or someone with the same problem, but I think my prob is slightly different, so forgive me if I'm repeating some things here that others already have talked about!
After dropping my Curve over in Europe last month and cracking the screen (ugh), I got a replacement from the insurance company, which turned out to be a remanufactured phone (for the $130 deductible??? - another topic!)....... there were apps missing, and the phones' keypad did not feel right, but IT DID sync ok... at any rate, I got them to send me a NEW phone, which I just received. It has the same exact software version as the other phones I had.
I did my usual USB sync with Pocket Mac, starting just with the contacts (mac address book) and notes (stickies). I selected 'overwrite device' in the advanced prefs of pocket mac (all latest versions installed, with latest drivers as well). Worked fine, as usual.
I then added some addresses in my address book on the mac, and went to do another sync. It was at this point that the sync did not work, either in 'overwrite device' or 'two way sync'. The added addresses were not on my phone.
What I've tried, and noticed so far:
On the phone, during the 2nd sync, no matter which pref I choose, the ARROW on the connection status window on the phone is going the WRONG WAY, towards the computer icon, not the phone icon. Since I added info only on the computer, the arrow should be going toward the phone, especially when in 'overwrite device' pref. This was NOT the case on the original sync, when the phones' address book was empty; the arrow was going the right way, towards the phone. I did the 'wipe/reset' that Brodie suggested in another post, which is going to the address book on the phone->menu->options->scroll to 'default' and type in 'rset'... that wiped the address book from the phone.
I then did another sync, pref in 'overwrite device' and again it worked fine, with all my addresses, including the recent entries, transferred as they should be to my Curve...
I again made a few changes as a test, adding one address on the phone, and one in the address book on the mac, did a 'two way' sync, and again, nothing, both new entries were NOT copied.
The other thing I noticed, is the connections status window goes away after a bit of time on the phone (like it's finished), but the pocket mac software on the Mac is still spinning, acting like it's still syncing, with the status bar near the end, but it never finishes. I have to quit it manually. This did not happen on the 'clean' sync, everything finished like it was supposed to.
This obviously is a drag to not be able to sync without wiping the phones' address book, especially when data has been entered on the phone, and in fact, in that case, there is NO WAY to get it to the computer at this point!
I'm running MAC OS 10.4.11. Brand new sync cable that came in the box with the new phone.
As I said, all software and drivers having to do with pocket mac and blackberry are the latest versions just installed.
Maybe the desktop mngr for mac will solve all this, but, until then?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Mac book pro boot slow

My MACBookPro 15"" MAC OS 10.7.5 takes a very long time for its boot process.
The sign of apple appears fast but then you must wait and wait ... until I can fill in my name and my code.
Aftrwards everything works properly.
Please tell me, what can I do?
Ludger

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
