  • How to erase a Macbook Pro Hard drive when the screen is dead

    I have a Macbook Pro (2007) with a dead screen and a motherboard issue. Just bought a new macbook and i was planning on transfering the hard drive over and selling my pro on ebay for parts, Is there anyway i can securely delete my data from the computer without seeing it on the screen before i decide to sell it?

    Be sure your dead Mac isn't covered by this program:

    If it is, you can get a free repair, and it would be worth a lot more on EBay.
    Good luck!

  • How to repair corrupted Macbook Pro hard disk when I don't have a startup disc provided by Apple

    So my MBP was really making horrible clicking noise and I figured out that my start up Lion OSX disk partition is corrupted.
    I have three partitions. One for Lion OS X, another for Documents and another for Movies and Downloads. When I run disk utility and verify other two partitions(documents and movies/downloads), they appear to be okay but when I do the same with Lion OS X then it says:
    The volume Lion OS X was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired....then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    Is my hard drive gonna die soon? Or will it be okay if I just format my 500gb hard drive completely and install the fresh copy of Lion OS X again? I don't have a recovery disc or what so ever provided by Apple anymore. I have a DMG installation file of Lion OS X and a USB flash drive(4 GB approx). How can I repair the disk partition without the recovery start up disc?
    Please help me, I am really worried.

    Hmmm idk if it's the clicking noise or not but it is making a noise of course. Sounds like hmmm few old desktops that makes weird loud  noise for the first 20 seconds they boot up.
    I am still unsure if it needs to be changed because the other two volumes appear to be okay. Why only this one? I have already saved all of my data in an external hard drive but it's weird how my 10 year old desktop is running on a same hard drive and my 3 years old 3000$ laptop had it's optical drive replaced, dead pixels, trackpad problem and now hard drive when I take care of my laptops like my baby and more over I don't even travel with it, it is always sitting on my desk like a desktop.

  • Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?

    Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
    I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?

    Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

  • When trying to update and install Mountain Lion's 10.8.3 update from 10.8.2, the App Store will restart my computer but not install the update.  Any ideas on how to update my Macbook Pro 15" from 2008?

    I was wondering, does anyone have an idea on how to update my Macbook Pro 15" to Mountain Lion's 10.8.3 from Mountain Lion's 10.8.2 version?  When I attempt to use the App Store, it will restart my computer but it will not install the update.  The update also still shows up in the App Store as available and when going to "About my Mac," it still shows the current version being 10.8.2.
    Computer:
    Macbook Pro 15" Aluminum Body
    Purchased Late 2008
    Current OS: Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    Original OS: Leopard

    I will be attempting this fix this fix tonight:

  • MacBook Pro goes to sleep when copying files from attached drives

    I have noticed that since installing Yosemite my MacBook Pro goes to sleep when it is in the middle of copying a large number of files.  When I wake it up the copying continues.
    I have also noticed that when I am watching videos from my shared iTunes library on an Apple TV the video will stop after about 15 minutes and the connection to the library is lost because the MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. When woken up then access to the library is restored but I need to reselect the movie and then resume.
    I have changed the power saving options to do not let drives sleep when idle and do not sleep laptop.
    Anyone else have any experience of this or better still a fix.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have just found that if I turn off the display sleep in the power settings then the problem is resolved.  It means though that the screen on my MacBook Pro is on all the time albeit with a screen saver.

  • How well does a Macbook pro and a Macbook air run Xcode, Photoshop and Dreamweaver?

    How well does a Macbook pro and a Macbook air run Xcode, Photoshop and Dreamweaver?

    MacBook Pro - no problem, it is an extremely popular computer for running that software. Just look at the Adobe demo videos of their products, most of the time you can see a MacBook Pro running the software in their video.
    MacBook Air - should be just as good most of the time.
    However, if you get involved in heavy Photoshop work like highly stacked layers/masks/channels, 16 bits per channel or up, or merging HDR or panoramas, the MacBook Pro may be better because it can take 16GB RAM while the MacBook Air can take only 8GB RAM.
    Also, if you are going to do serious programming in XCode or Dreamweaver, you may find the MacBook Air screen to be too small for all of the code windows and tool palettes that you may want to open and arrange in those programs. The 15" Retina screen of the MacBook Pro will let you spread out your work and do less window switching. The 11/"13" MacBook Air screens are both smaller and non-Retina so not as sharp.
    Even Photoshop is nicer on the 15" MacBook Pro because of the extra screen space for the image with less intrusion by the tool palettes.
    In short, if you are a casual user the MacBook Air will be great. If you are a professional with a heavy workload the MacBook Pro may be more efficient overall due to the larger screen and higher RAM capacity.

  • How strong is the Macbook pro 13 hinge?

    I have a 2011 high end macbook pro 13 and when ever I go to use it and look at the hinge, I always have doubts about the hinge. Why such a small peice of plastic as a hinge? I am wondering how much the hinge can take. Is it fragile(you can break the hinge by normal opening and closing) or is it durable (you can open and close it as much as you want and it won't break-of coarse there is a limit). Please give me an idea on how durable it is. I usually try to prevent from opening or closing it normally. I always baby my products and just want to stop my endless worry about the hinge. Please no bad comments. Thanks!

    Strong enough that in normal use it should last 4-8 years without a problem. If you abuse it, Yanking it open and closed repeatedly, it may only last a very short time.
    Why are you bothered by the strength? Is it not working correctly?

    The yellow RCA jack is called "NTSC Analog Composite Video", or "Video" for short. You need an adapter to "Video".
    Exactly which MacBook Pro (or which output Display Port) do you have?

  • How to connect my macbook pro to my car cd player

    If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP.  I do question the practicality of doing so.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

  • How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3?

    How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3 ?
    And if it is USB 2, will external hardisk which support usb 2 would be compatible with & vice-versa?
    What would be the cons?

    USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
    So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
    But USB 3.0 and 2.0 are 'compaitble,' somewhat - you just won't be able to get the throughput of a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 connection.
