Hi there i still am having problems with my macbook os 10.6.8. It started last week

Something is wrong do i need to take this thing in for repairs?

Hi it started last week i thought the battery ran out once at home and the power source it came back on and stated that the battery still had charge. So then sometimes it just shuts off unless it is connected to the power source. Then after i bring it back up it states that the date/time is 2008 so i have to reset that. Is there a patch for this or is my macbook os 10.6.8 hosed up?

Having problems with my macbook's headphone jack. :(

I'm having problems with my Macbook's headphone jack. Every time I insert an earphone/s or headphones into the jack it works perfectly but when I remove the earphones my Macbook does not recognize that I've already removed the earphones in effect the speaker of the Macbook does not work. Anybody experiencing the same problem?
TIA

Hi extrarice23,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you remove the headphones from the jack, is there a red light that remains on (inside the jack) after the headphones are removed? It's very possible that the receptacles inside the jack are getting stuck and thinking that the headphones are still plugged into the computer.
You can try getting a can of compressed air, clearing out the port.

Do you have Parallels installed by any chance? There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this. You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels. An update corrects the problem:

Having problems with my macBook Air wifi staying connected

I'm having problems with my MacBook Air staying connected to wifi....Help - Very frustrating!!!

When you go to perform a software update or make a system change it'll prompt you for an administrator's password. If you're the only user on the machine, you're also the administrator.
If you've forgotten this password it can be reset using Disc 1 of the System Restore DVDs that came with your computer. Because the MBA lacks an optical drive there are two ways to perform the password reset:
1. Purchase/use the external, USB-based MacBook Air SuperDrive
2. Use CD/DVD sharing between another, compatible computer on your network
Steps on how to do this are found between 46-49 in the owner's guide that came with your machine or it can be downloaded via the web at:

I'm having problems with FlashPlayerPlugin and plugin-container. They keep starting up and bogging down the system. This has been a recent occurrance. I've made sure that I have the latest version. I notice the problem when I am opening some applicatio, and it freezes. If I go to Task Manager, I can see the two Adobe apps sucking up CPU cycles. If I end the processes, then the other apps continue. Today, I uninstalled FlashPlayerPluginqand plugin-container. All day since I have had no freezing of an app. What should I do to correct the problem?

Here's an explanation of what those processes are.
Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
I'm curious about what you did to uninstall just those.

I'm having lots of problems with my Macbook, don't know where to start.

I've got an Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook, about 4-5 years old, running 10.5.8. It's set up with two logins, one each for my wife and I. We're having problems with several things:
Every time I open a PDF, Acrobat asks for my administrator password and reinstalls itself.
We use OpenOffice - but every time we quit the application, it opens right up again and recovers the last doc we were working on.
We use two airport express routers - one to create the wireless network and run the printer, one to stream music to the stereo, mostly via Airfoil. It seems overly complex, but the cable comes in one end of the house through the basement, and the stereo is at the other end of the house upstairs, and it worked fine until last week. We've lost contact with the stereo AX, and even plugged in with an ethernet cable I can't set it up - I can go through the menus, and when I try to finalize everything it just sits there blinking amber and eventually I lose the connection with the AX in the basement too - but I get it back upon restarting the computer.
My wife is having problems with copying and pasting in Firefox/Yahoo mail using her login, but I can't duplicate them in mine.
Firefox forgets things in my login that it remembers in hers - like it won't ever open to my homepage, always the "thanks for updating" page. I've googled that and found a few references to the problem, and tips for fixing it (deleting a few files), but they haven't worked for me.
We have intermittent problems with permissions - occasionally I can't write to a folder I created.
In the past I've been able to download HD video direct (without converting) from my Panasonic Lumix LX-5 camera through iMovie, but last time I tried the files were greyed out and unavailable.
A few months back everything froze and it wouldn't start up. A friend, who is a Mac IT guy, had a look at it and reinstalled the system, and it's worked ok since, with the exceptions noted above. We do back up regularly with Time Machine, and for most of the time I've had the macbook I used Saphos antivirus, until I read it could cause problems with Time Machine, at which point I uninstalled it.
I'm not a computer guy, I just want to have a reliable machine I can use every day without having to sit down and reconfigure some settings to get it to work. I have no idea whether these problems are related, or totally random, or a result of something I did. I half want to just forget it and replace the laptop and the one AX I can't get to work, but if it's a relatively simple fix, I'd realy prefer not to spend the money right now.
Any recomendations would be appreciated, and feel free to ask for further information - hopefully I'll be able to provide it!

Just curious. Have you opened disk utilities application in the utility folder and select your drive, and run repair permissions. This may or may not help. It also may take awhile if it has never been done. Good luck!

Hello there. I have a problem with my macbook pro. The built in wifi was broken. Is there anything I can do so I can still use the internet? Thank you.

Pleas help. Thanks.

There are any number of possibilies... you could have problems with runaway applications, causing your machine to overheat and setting the fans off, you could have bad fan sensors, etc.
Open Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) and see if you have any apps that may be hogging the CPU. Call back.

I am having problems with my macbook pro

some documents on my macbook pro are frozen how so i get rid of them it still works but it wont let me log out or x out of the documents

I wanted to post an update on this problem for everyone's benefit. The screen went black due to a combination of a failed video card/mother board. As it turns out, the defective video card was a known problem, and Apple replaced the video card/mother board at no expense to me. They replaced this hardware in my late 2007 MacBook Pro. Please check with Apple; you might be eligible for this extended warranty. After the video card/mother board was replaced, the problem with the dock persisted. Turns out that I had a corrupted Dock file. Once the Dock file was deleted and replaced, all was well. Who said lightning never strikes twice in the same place... Please check to see if you are eligible for the hardware replacement - these parts cost about $1200.00.

I'm having problems with my macbook

i got it in december of 2010, i didn't have any problems with it until october of 2012 when i turned it on one day, and the screen was filled with lines. eventually i had to have the screen replaced (by apple). Now, my laptop is always freezing and I cannot escape, so I have to shut it down and restart. This can happen up to 3x per hour. Also, when I restart the laptop, it can take an unusually long time (almost 10 minutes). When I reach the login screen where I should type my password, I try to type my password but the words wont type. I usually have to wait between 5-30 minutes for the words to load, and finally I can log in.
What is happening? Can i fix this? Is there anything I can try? Should I just get a new laptop?

i just resently got a MBP for my cake day last month and it sometimes when i use iMOVIE it will freeze and i also have to shut it down and restart too. im not sure what is wrong with you or mine but mine usually goes back to normal after i turn it on again

Having problem with my Macbook Air audio

Hi everyone. I'm just joined this forum because I'm having an issue.
I own a macbook air 13' (2011) and yesterday, I've bought a pair of Beats, as well as upgrade my mac to Mountain Lion from Lion (I'm running OSX 10.8.1)
I've never used any headphone or earbud on my mac before. After I installed Mountain Lion, I plugged my headphone in and notice that, everytime the computer got a sound notification, there're a lot of background noise (or you guys called it static noise or something?) in my headphone even when there's no sound playing. I try to listen some song and the noise's clearly there, especially when I play a song and mute suddenly.
But after a while in silent, the noise gone. I'm confusing. Everytime I make any sound, the noise comes back. Press the mute button, and after a while it's gone.
I've tested my headphone on my ipod and iphone, and it works fine. I think my mac cause that problem. But when I come to Apple Store and ask the Genius bar, they just put on my headphone and nothing's going on. Back home, and it happened. Probably because the store's too noisy, so they can't notice anything?
Now I don't know if Mountain Lion caused it, or it's my macbook itself. So now I'm listening on my iPod, and everything's just fine.
Any suggestion?

Hi. I just wondered if you are still having this problem?
I have a Late 2012 MBA13 and, like you, rarely use headphones. I started today and it is doing the irritating buzzing in my ears (on all four of my headphones). I have been looking at sites and didnt come up with anything. I saw the post re my iPhone and moved that (and my BB) well away and still no louck.
!! Then I removed my power cable and it stopped!? Interested to know if this effects yours too before I head off to the Apple Store.
If it does it could be magnetic or power source based and could well then become a hardware problem which means no fix coming!
Thanks for your time.
Welcome Harry...sounds frustrating. Other than my iPhone being too nearby, I've never had the issue with my MBA...with or w/o headphones, with or w/o the power adapter connected. Sounds like it might be worth a call to AppleCare or a Genius Bar appointment since your MBA is still under warranty. There may be an issue with the power supply itself.
You're probably aware, but MacBooks shouldn't be plugged in other than when they're being charged. More here:

Hope you get this figured out. Let us know how it goes!

I'm having problems with My MacBook Pro ever since downloading the new OS..

I downloaded
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 a few weeks ago, and now I've noticed weird glitches. For instance, my WiFi is SUPER spotty (even though we have RoadRunner top speed), and then I am having these random, yellow QR code-looking things that pop up on my screen whenever I change webpages or open up a new page on my browser (Google Chrome). Any help?

Well for one get rid of Chrome and use Safari. Chrome is not reliable with Lion and should be avoided. Safari and Firefox are the only two really reliable and effective browsers.
Secondly, reinstall Lion:
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Having problems with my Macbook Air. I cant remember my pass.

Hey everyone,
I have a problem. I am trying to update my itunes, and in order for it to be updated, it requires me to input a password first, which I think is some kind of a master pass to the computer.
The problem is that I don't remember that password and I cant really change it from no where.
Please help. I have a macbook air.

When you go to perform a software update or make a system change it'll prompt you for an administrator's password. If you're the only user on the machine, you're also the administrator.
If you've forgotten this password it can be reset using Disc 1 of the System Restore DVDs that came with your computer. Because the MBA lacks an optical drive there are two ways to perform the password reset:
1. Purchase/use the external, USB-based MacBook Air SuperDrive
2. Use CD/DVD sharing between another, compatible computer on your network
