I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?

I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

HT201475 I am currently running OSX 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro. Can I upgrade straight to Yosemite and if I can what issues will I face?

1. It depends on what Mac model you have. If it's incapable of running Yosemite, installing an intermediate version won't help with that.
2. You'll lose the ability to run PowerPC software, and some other programs may also be incompatible. If something goes wrong, you might lose data; back your computer up first. There aren't any issues specifically associated with skipping versions.

Macbook pro model 5.5 2009 not downloading Yosemite?

From everything I've read, I should be able to install Yosemite on my 2009 Macbook pro, but after several attempts to download from the App store (and waiting several hours each time) it doesn't seem to be working. The icon on the dock says downloading, then "waiting" but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

The root cause of the problem is the OS according to SSD manufacturer OCZ.

Do you have any external devices attached? If so, try disconnecting them.

My mid 2010 macbook pro keeps freezing/crashing every time I try and play a game. Any help?

Every time I try and play either WoW or The Sims, my mac goes to black screen, or black screen and repeating last second of noise it was playing. I haven't upgraded to Lion and am still using Snow Leopard(??). I am by no means the most tech savvy girl in the world, but would appreciate any help, as this is driving me insane!! Thanks!!!

I don't know if it would help, but this is all the whoo haa from the last panic report thing. (about 5ish minutes ago)
I don't really know what any of it means, but if someone could help me decipher and tell me if there's anything I can do, I would be super grateful. (before I go into apple, that is)

Please help! using a macbook pro mid 2010 with 10.9.2 maverick and bootcamp 5.1.2 - I want to have Windows on my notebook. I have a Windows 8.1 AIO x64.ISO - just an iso, i dont have a Win DVD!

Hi guys
I tried the last two days everything from this forum. Run bootcamp, after restart (hold alt) go to the mac HD and delete or replace the bootcamp device (tried both options). had it almost done, at the end when it was installing/finnishing windows the error code "could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase...... " and of course after that the "no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key boot camp".
Please help me to fix this thing!
Thanks a lot!

Using a MacBook Pro in the Store

I'm in the Apple Store in Walnut Creek, CA, using a MacBook Pro. They have a few on display and it's 2 hours before closing -- nobody's using them...weird.
Anyhow, onto my impressions:
This magnet thing is stronger than my powerbook adapter! I think if i tripped over the cord, the laptop would STILL go flying.
Safari did not load right away...stayed blank. Reloaded Safari and it's really really fast.
Word did not start right away, had to force quit. Now it works, don't see any differences in speed...
Excel is so so
iPhoto is really fast. It's way faster than my powerbook, but then again, my Powerbook iPhoto has over 10K photos/videos. This iPhoto has only 354 photos.
iTunes -- can't really see any speed gains
the biggest and coolest gain is the screen. sad to say to you guys out there, but with this screen and resolution, i don't see a need to get a 17".
you can ALMOST put two full Safari screens side by side, but full screen pics in iPhoto are amazing.
it's really bright, which i like.
things i don't like are the magnetic adapter...man, can you say i really had to pull this thing? i'm not a weak guy either, i can bench press 200lbs and weigh about 155, not too shabby but definitely far from good.
battery life is a no show...you know how like, when you unplug the adapter, you can see a remaining time? well, someone disabled it and i unplugged the magnetic adapter -- no battery life time, just the battery icon................c'mon guys....

I'm heading to the Apple Store in Danbury CT tomorrow to test out a MacBook Pro. I'll happily post what I like and dislike here.
Waiting for a MacBook Pro... Other OS

An app which I have never purchased shows as an update on the App store. When I try to deal qith it shows as being purchased by someone with a different apple id than me. No one else uses my Macbook Pro. Any ideas???

An app which I have never purchased shows as an update on the App store. When I try to deal with it shows as being purchased by someone with a different apple id than me. No one else uses my Macbook Pro. A "Genius" at one of my local Apple stores spent over 2 hours trying to fix this and could not do it. His last suuggestion was to go home, back up all the data an take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall the operating system. Any simpler ideas to solve this problem.???

TS1389 Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11

Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

MacBook Pro won't stay awake with external display AND power connected

I've been using my MacBook Pro with an external 23" Apple display for several months, always with the lid closed and with no problems. Suddenly, I can no longer keep the MacBook awake when its lid is closed. *The AC power IS connected.* I plug in the display, close the lid, wake the system with my external keyboard, but then it will quickly go to sleep again after a few seconds. No matter what I've tried I get the same behavior.
Perhaps coincidence, perhaps not, I installed the Leopard graphics update a few weeks ago. Could this be a cause?

Apple did actually acknowledge this as a known issue with people running 10.5.2 with the graphics update, and are investigating it. There's some further discussion at this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1394449&tstart=0
Anyway, what worked for me was powering down, connecting my external display, keyboard, etc., powering up, and immediately closing the lid. It seems to behave better now, though I haven't rebooted since, although I have switched back and forth between running with the external display, and running without it, without any problems.

My Macbook Pro just started shutting down when I connect my IPhone to the laptop. Help please.

Everytime I connect my Iphone 4 to my Macbook Pro (purchased in 2006), the computer shuts down and reboots automatically before IPhoto even opens. I need to back up my IPhone so I can upgrade. PLEASE HELP!

Hi Jennette,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd suggest using the steps in this article to isolate and resolve the issue you're seeing:

I'm using a macbook pro with version 10.6.8 installed. whenever i try to install my software updates, it immediately asks me to restart my computer to finish the installation. after doing so and signing back on to my account no updates have been installed

I'm using a macbook pro with version 10.6.8 installed. Whenever I try to install my software updates, it immediately asks me to restart my computer to finish the installation. After doing so and signing back on to my account, nothing has changed and no updates have been installed. It still says the same 8 items need to be installed, and the same process occurs again. Any idea how I can fix this?

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

I am using a macbook pro with system 10.6.8. I just discovered that no recent files have been backed up to the external disk using Time Capsule. There is a long list of backups including most recent but no recent files, for some weeks, have been backed up. I did a full reset of Time Machine. I disconnected the external drive and reconnected it. It is not a matter of file types, no files and no folders have gotten backed up. Everything looks normal though unless one goes hunting for recent files on the back up.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
